S5 - Ep 11 - Two Albums, One Year: 1979 Deep Cuts + Shuffle Picks & Surprises

This week, Craig and Kevin rewind to the tail end of the '70s for a Two Albums, One Year spotlight on 1979 — a year where disco clashed with punk, synths started creeping in, and genre lines were beginning to blur. As always, they each bring an underrated or overlooked album from that year — records that slipped through the cracks in a decade overflowing with iconic releases.

Then it’s time for the ongoing experiment that is the revamped Schizophrenic Shuffle — the new listening ritual that turns random track pulls into full-week explorations. Here’s how it works:

Craig and Kevin each shuffle their digital libraries

They pull five random songs and find them on Apple Music

They send them to each other and listen in full over the week

On the pod, they assign each song to one of these four categories:

🎧 Highlight – The week’s standout track
💤 Lowlight – The one that didn’t stick
🪞 Reminder – A memory-lane moment
🚪 New Introduction – A first-time spin that left a mark

It’s a thoughtful, unexpected journey through personal collections — and this week’s batch delivers on both the nostalgia and the surprises.
