Challenge Episode - The National & MF Doom
They’re back! It's been a minute, but Bravid finally made it through the school year and are fully vaxxed. That means they are back in the studio to avoid any more ZOOM burnout. Brandon and David each issued a challenge album for the other to listen to that they, for whatever reason, would not necessarily listen to in their own musical journies. David slaps Brandon with the gauntlet of MF Doom's lyrical genius and genre-responsive Mm...Food while Brandon puts a message of The National's Trouble Will Find Me in a bottle and tosses it into the ocean of David's stubbornness. That all makes sense right? Hear David fail to be articulate at any given moment and Bradon at his most professorial, shaming David with his brilliance.

Mini-Episode: Christmas Voicemails!
Mini-Episode! Ebenezer Scrooge, The Grinch, and Brandon Murray. What do these three have in common? Listen to this bonus episode and find out what trap we lured you into with our requests for voicemails. We, for some reason, challenge your favs, least favs, and hot takes, further discouraging our listeners to call in and/or have an opinion other than our own. We also discuss such eternal Christmas topics as Bing Crosby's last words, fictional (?) music, and radio relevancy in 2020. How many listeners can we lose in one mini-episode? Anyway, we love those that called in, truly, and appreciate the dedication of our listenership from around the world. This podcast has been a boon to our 2020 and we look forward to discussing the remaining 990 albums with you in future episodes.

"Oh, baby please come home." - "A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector”
There are over 500 recorded versions of “White Christmas” out there. How do we determine which is the definitive version and how do we separate it from nostalgia...or does nostalgia need Christmas like Phil Spector needs The Wrecking Crew? Another album featuring the famed Wrecking Crew? Brandon and David employ the assistance of their better halves to answer these questions and offer their own favs/least favs and even some hot takes. Home Alone > Home Alone 2 is obvious, but detractors will not go quietly. Also, truly, honestly, is there any OTTO MVP on this album other than the illustrious Darlene Love? Listen to this episode while decorating your tree or drinking heavily to prep for a covid Christmas as Phil Spector rots in prison and ask yourself: Are we truly living in a marshmallow world? Album #37, “A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector”.
