About Losing My Opinion

Are we sure The Wall is a masterpiece? Can Dylan legit sing well? Is McCartney actually a lazy songwriter? And what exactly is “Nixon-rock”…? These are just some of the hard-hitting questions two indie musician pals, Thin Lear (Matt) and Niagara Moon (Thomas), come in with every week, surprising each other with strange fixations, controversial opinions, and of course - songs to listen to together. Join them as they eloquently bicker over the last 90 years of recorded music history, finding the overrated, underrated, and everything weird in-between.

   #166 - It's Spooky Season, with Adam Kastin

   It's been a month, but the show is back! Longtime friend of the pod Adam Kastin (Weegee) joins back up with Thomas and Matt for a wild ride. Thomas opens with an ode to songs based on a I V IV chord structure, aka "Do So Fa". You know it when you hear it. Adam then spoils the poppy mood with a look at songs from literal death cults...https://weegeenyc.bandcamp.com/ https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.thinlear.com/BlueskyIGTiktok
