2023 In Review
On our year-end special, Eduardo and Kevin are looking back at some of their favorite releases of the year, albums that didn’t make it on the show, thoughts about the state of the music industry in 2023, where music may be heading in 2024 and much, much more.
Bruce Hornsby's 'Non-Secure Connection', Madeline Kenney's 'Sucker's Lunch', and new music from L.A. Witch
Bruce Hornsby returns with Non-Secure Connection, his most out-there set of songs in years, and Madeline Kenney is reminding us how awkward love can be on her sugary new LP Sucker’s Lunch.
PLUS! New music from garage rockers L.A. Witch from their upcoming LP Play With Fire!
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead's 'X: The Godless Void and Other Stories'
For over twenty-five years Austin, TX’s …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead have been crafting atmospheric, psychedelic, supercharged rock n’ roll. On their tenth album X: The Godless Void and Other Tales, the core duo of Jason Reece and Conrad Keely are getting further out than ever before, delivering an exciting new chapter in this legendary groups history. Self-proclaimed super-fan PJ Sykes joins us to discuss the return of one of his musical heroes, the power of legacy, and more.
PLUS: The mysterious Kids Techno is back with The Harmony Of Spheres, and we’re spinning one of their latest excursions into inner space.
Episode 346: Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz [Discologist]
In 1993 Lenny Kravitz was a star to some, and a point of confusion to many more. But none of that kept him from creating his future-forward masterpiece that plays as hot today as it did twenty-five years ago.
Timothy Anne Burnside (NMAAHC) and Marcus K. Dowling (Medium) join Kevin in the basement to dig into this timeless LP, and get to the heart of why Kravitz was - and probably still is - misunderstood as an artist, the legacy of his music, and how making art that comes directly from the heart and soul is always gonna win. Always, every time.
Episode 296: OK Computer - Radiohead [Discologist]
With one of the biggest rock hits of all time ("Creep") and a genre defining guitar-rock classic (The Bends) under their belts, Radiohead had little left to prove when OK Computer was released in the Summer of 1997. Despite that, what they achieved was an album full of fear, anxiety, and beauty that quite literally changed the course of rock music as we know it.
On the latest installment of our Discologist series, we're taking a look at everything that made this modern-day masterpiece great, why it has withstood the test of time, and how its techno-phobic, anti-fascist themes are almost horrifically as relevant today as they were twenty years ago.
Episode 235: Naseem Khuri of Kingsley Flood
Kingsley Flood frontman Naseem Khuri has built his career writing songs about social injustice and the importance of sticking up for the "little guy"
On their latest album, Another Other, he's turning his observational acumen inwards to explore not just how we relate to others, but, more importantly, why.
Khuri joined us in the basement a week before America's historic election to talk about the new album, writing introspectively versus observationally, the band's upcoming LP release show in Washington, DC on 11/19, and much, much more.
