10/10 You're Great
LONG.LIVE.A$AP
Season 3, Ep. 13
•
This week/tonight we are officially changing the name of the podcast to "Oldboys Reminiscence: Eternal Summer Gone By" (Park Chan-wook can not sue us, this is a different thing!) because we are old and remembering when we weren't by revisiting LONG.LIVE.A$AP by A$AP Rocky.
Also wildin' for the night: Elvis finds that Hallmark movie magic with a double-bevcheck disaster, the heinous tale of the ex-Turnstile guitarist is discussed, and we do not do any accents because if you put enough pauses between words they're just words.

14. Return to Love — with Zac
01:26:27||Season 3, Ep. 14This week we are joined by returning (to love) guest of the pod and head of the Alternative (available at getalternative.com this is not payola) Zac, who walks us through Lvl Up's classic record, Return to Love. And if you weren't aware of this record you just had to be exactly where I was in 2016 because it was everywhere.Also worth returning to: A certain website does March Madness and gets everything totally wrong per us, can a Shrewgirl love a Ratboy? yes if the girl is a man named Chris, and Slobodan is a funny name to say even if he did historically unfunny things.
12. Mirrored
01:31:21||Season 3, Ep. 12Dateline 2 days ago: This week we were slightly late because we were busy with One Battles After Another (choosing what to eat on vacation, a recurring trial). Anyways what that is supposed to mean is apologies for the delay, here is an episode about Battles' first record, Mirrored.Also up for discussion: What is the shape of Mexico City and can it be contained to just one valley, Pitchfork appears to host an AI-written article about an AI-written album because this is hell, and did you know that one of the guys from Battles was in some other band with 1/1000th the clout? No? Well that's actually normal not to know, and it's nuts to pretend like that's common knowledge or to shame your co-hosts about it.
Minisode: Spring Break BevCheck
36:42||Season 3This week: Lucas is in Mexico, Chris is in Vegas and Charlie is in sweatpants, so we had to do a very BevCheck-forward minisode.Also up for discussion: Chris went to some shows... and that's it. It's too short to come up with three things that happen. There are shows and a Chocolate Starfish/Hotdog Water-flavored Bev - I have been served a subpoena demanding I never say that again, but it's true.
11. Any Other City — with Johanna
01:28:19||Season 3, Ep. 11This week we are joined by music writer Johanna "Jojo" Sommer to discuss Life "Without" Buildings' record, Any "Other" City. I am trying to learn to use quotation marks in the AP style and it is "NOT" going well. Unlike me, Johanna does an amazing job explaining the record coherently, so please look forward to that. You can also read her write up on the record right here courtesy of our friends at The Alternative. Also up for discussion: Morrissey says There Is a Light That Never Goes Out (on his alarm clock), everyone in charge of online ticket sales should be in prison, and cooties are caught fun and funky style, apologies to our loved ones.
10. Fun House — with DeeDee of MSPAINT
01:00:15||Season 3, Ep. 10This week, we present some information in its purest form-- by which I mean we are joined by DeeDee, of MSPAINT and Him Horrison, who patiently helps us three stooges understand The Stooges' 2nd record, Fun House. As DeeDee explains, its a great record for if you want to learn nothing and that has also been the pitch for this podcast.Also up for discussion: 17 band members is not too much as long as none of them know the songs, fighters are a BS class because you can buy swords in real life, and none of us say "nyuk nyuk nyuk" because its a different stooge scenario.
9. Richard D. James Album
01:12:43||Season 3, Ep. 9THIS WEEK -- your three humble hosts are "Richard D. Game" to discuss Richard D. James album by Aphex Twin. I'm sorry there was no better way to write that sentence. "Of all the gin joints in all the towns of the world, that sentence just had to walk into mine" -- Richard D. Casablanca. Also (Aphex) up for Twinscussion: Kim's can tell (that a certain record is turning 20), a brief review of a 1993 experimental documentary for some reason, and we all say "Goon Grumpus" but it's cool because for once someone else said the stupid words and we're just repeating them.
8. After the Party - with Ciara and Brendan
01:54:38||Season 3, Ep. 8This week we are really partying it up with two returning guests, Ciara Rhiannon and Brendan Menapace, both of whom help explain their love of the The Menzingers post-partyum depression record, After the Party. Don't worry, we 3 hosts pronounce Menzingers right 100% of the time definitely. And “let me be clear,” we love and respect Tom just as much as Greg even though we pretty much only talk about Greg’s songs. Also up for discussion: a bicoastal bev bonanza as Tri Repetae (that's how IDM heads say 3) drinks are slurped, we continue to confront Ciara with Destroyer records for some reason, Brendan refuses to comment on Animal Collective (wise) and a dissertation on what has happened to Apple Jacks.
7. Gentleman
01:55:00||Season 3, Ep. 7Tonight, this week (x100) we celebrate our 100th episode (aaa) by talking Fela Kuti's 1973 Afrobeat classic, Gentleman. The cover of the original makes a salient point about colonization and culture, so was it ignorant to thoughtlessly slap our cat on there? I hope not!Also up for discussion: We wishcast that one Arcade Fire brother has a soul (not the criminal one), none of us can name a single woman (we are trying to be woke but too stupid to do it good), and we return to an early BevCheck in honor of us having done this 100 times and run out of ideas around ep 6.10/10 You’re Great is presented by The Alternative.
