James, Darvil, and Joey, former members of the band Percy and the Prefects, get together on a biweekly basis and take turns selecting albums around a loose theme. In these episodes, we share our reactions and procrastinate working on our new music project. New episodes every other Saturday.
In this short episode, Joey looks back over the previous season and plays tracks from each record that we explored. If you missed an episode, or are just curious what the records we listened to this season sounded like, you can check those out here. Our themes for season 2 were:
-Musical Disruptors (records that changed music for you)
-The Album I've Listened to the Longest
-Go Green (records with Green album art)
-the 2023 record I want to talk about the most
We will be taking a short break and will see you soon with several more theme cycles in season 3! Thank you all so much for listening!

S02.E12 - The Murder Capital, Gigi's Recovery, picked by Darvil
In the final episode on 2023 albums worthy of discussion, Darvil selects the album "Gigi's Recovery" by the Irish post-punk band The Murder Capital. In this episode we try to nail down what it means to be a "post-punk" band, talk about Darvil's vocal prowess in the genre, and conclude that Alvin and the Chipmunks is the best post-punk act of all time.

S02.E11 - Myrkur, Spine, picked by Joey
For the 2023 album that Joey wanted to talk about the most, he selected the record “Spine” by former black metal artist turned folk pop singer Myrkur. In this episode we discuss what is or isn’t black metal, hidden messages in lyrics, and get into the weeds on music theory. That’s right, it’s a metal episode heavy on music theory nerdery. Fans of the Lorna Shore episode, we got you!
