#048 - Albums - How To Listen | They Said What? | And Why?

We deeply love & have a profound respect for the album as a form. It’s why we started this show, our initial plan being that we’d discuss a new album each episode; so this week, we’re talking about albums.

Greg kicks things off with a “How To” discussion. Most albums take months, even years to create, so what’s the best way to consume them? Inspired by a recent LA Times piece entitled The Art of the Deep Listen, we dive right in for a lively discussion.

Song: Thundercat - I Love Louis Cole

Jay takes us down memory lane for a vintage edition of “Review the Review” to discuss some epic fails over the years from Rolling Stones. This got Jay Pitchfork-angry & the lively discussion continued. [Rolling Stone] [Reel Harmonies]

Song: Cory Wong - Golden

Nick closes us out with an open question, “Will albums last as a form?” To this, we embark on an extensive and exuberant conversation (it seemed like using ‘lively conversation’ again would have been overkill, but we’re bringing a lot of energy to this one folks 😉).

Song: The Dirty Projectors - Self-Design
