Episode 101: 2 guests 1 album. This week we invited back @brendanmenapace.bsky.social and @rhiannon-comma.bsky.social to talk about After the Party by The Menzingers. Mostly talking about getting old & post party-um depression. Plus the wokeification of Apple Jacks (timely) & more!

Super stoked to have @mikehuguenor.bsky.social on the show this week! We talked about his new book Elvis Is Dead, I’m Still Alive: The Story of @asianmanrecords.bsky.social. Of course we also talk a little Jeff Rosenstock, Shinobu’s reunion tour with Ging Nang Boyz and SKA by way of Slow Gherkin!

Reflektor was a step down. The cliff was after that. And it was a hell of a cliff.

Multiple reports on the screen of Mitski returning to Bury Me at Makeout Creek sound has me at long last excited about new Mitski.

A literal work in progress! And every iteration was worse than the one before. So annoying.

Break up albums weren’t as big of a deal back then I guess πŸ˜†. I think nowadays it’s pretty well regarded but is sadly a relic of the past. I can only dream of a reunion or possibly just Jeff working in some of these songs somehow (he’s been playing Future 86 again quite a lot so you never know!).

I don’t think this is a hot take at all! I wish this was canon Jeff/Death Rosenstock - the songs would definitely fit into the current catalog - but alas.

Congrats to Foxing on a great run. A transcendental live experience. Five great records. We decided to cover all of them on the show to end the year. The first three are all live now. Please look at Charlie’s great parody art feat. Our pets (RIP Kodi).
