Death Cab For Cutie: Narrow Stairs
We have a love hate relationship with this album. We dug the music but the lyrical themes are too focused on unhealthy emotions like isolation, obsession, anxiety, mortality and fear of loss that it takes the fun out of a show likes ours, so we dunk on it a little.

Radiohead: Kid A
Greetings to all our listeners! Tim and I had a blast recording this episode. Kid A is so out there. You can hear a huge leap from a guitar-dominant sound to less commonly used synthesizers like the Ondes Martenot and the Mellotron.

Kidding aside, the episode is informative at the beginning and becomes more comical and lighthearted as we get into playing the songs. The music is phenomenal, and we hav...
