In our 97th episode, we pin Weezer’s first two albums against each other, Tale of the Tape style. Which album has the best song, the Blue Album or Pinkerton?

In our 96th episode, we all bring a few perfect songs to the table. We didn’t do this alone though — we brought back Rob to help us out! Rob is a dear friend of the pod, New England rock radio legend, and previous guest (Episode 17). What makes up a perfect song you ask? Is it the lyrics? Melodies? Song structure? All of the above? Is Bohemian Rhapsody a perfect song? Reach out to us and let us know what your perfect songs are, what we got right, and what we got wrong!

The title of the episode says it all! In our 93rd episode, we each rank our top 5 albums of the year. We toss out a few honorable mentions to start, and then take turns fighting over who likes the new Turnstile more (not really!). We open this episode with a reflection back on the last 12 months of the podcast. 2021 has been good to us! We promise we’ll continue to grind in 2022! #alwaysbenerding  Timestamps: (0:00) Reflections on the year. (7:32) ‘Best of 2021’ segment starts).  We’d love for everyone to hear this episode!

In our 92nd episode, we’re joined by Tucker Rule, Drummer and founding member of Thursday. What happens when one of the most important and influential albums of the last few decades turns 20? You invite the Drummer of the band on the podcast to talk about it— and we did just that. We talk Tucker’s start with music, the early days of Thursday, their eventual signing, and a deep dive into ‘Full Collapse.’ We also talk Thursday’s return to the live stage — as they set to hit the road in the near future. This was a special one for us, as it gives a behind the scenes look into the creation of an album that set the tone for the next decade.  (Timestamps: (0:00) Podcast and guest intro.

In our 91st episode, the pod turns inward. Nate has often dropped info about his time working on the venue support/concert promotion side of things -- so it got us thinking. Why not have him as our "guest"? We talk about how he originally got started with it, what he's up to lately in this space, a first hand account of the infamous Shadows Fall/Terror/Zao show that literally brought the house down, and much more.  Shout out to Return to the Pit for capturing photos of the Shadows Fall/Terror/Zao show in Portland, ME back in 2005 Photos can be found here: http://www.returntothepit.com/concert.php?date=2005-05-06&band=shadows_fall  We'd love for everyone to hear this episode!

In our 90th episode, we play a game of musical “Would You Rather”. Would you rather own a vinyl production plant, or a record store? Would you rather 80’s bands only play 90’s music…..or the other way around? Would you rather Chino Moreno continue with Deftones….or RATM put out a new album? We discuss these and more! The pod begins with a conversation about Adele, and her downright takeover of the music business. Between monopolizing vinyl plants and getting Spotify to change their product…..it’s been a busy couple weeks for her. All hail Queen Adele!  We’d love for everyone to hear this episode!
