Shortly after I released the first episode of this podcast, Matt Jatkola hit me up right away telling me that he thought it was a great idea and was wondering if he could be on the show. It was pretty cool to get feedback from someone I didn’t know so quickly, so while it took a while to schedule, we finally got it done. We’re talking about The Rentals’ “Seven More Minutes”, a great album by a great band.

This week, my buddy Neil Rubenstein is on the show talking about Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach’s “Painted From Memory”. What happens when two titans of the industry come together for an album? Music magic, that’s what. Chatting with Neil is always fun and results in me laughing a lot, so there’s that to look forward to! Also on this episode, I come as close as I ever have to considering Spotify as a viable option.

This week, I’m joined by Peter Hassett from the hockey blog “Russian Machine Never Breaks“, who’s talking about The Dismemberment Plan’s album “Emergency & I”. When he told me this was the album he wanted to talk about, I looked into it and immediately kicked myself for never having listened to it sooner, it’s just that good.

This week, my pal Katie Brown is on the show talking about Jason Isbell’s album “Southeastern”! This album is full of some heavy stuff, and we talk about how it might not have been her favorite if she had come across it a decade earlier. It’s always interesting how tastes in music change as one gets older, and experiences more of what we like to call life.

It’s a fun chat about a really good album that’s worth checking out.
