  • Paramore - Riot!
    Feb 5 2025

    Paramore broke big with Riot! Maybe we'll do the same with this episode? Probably not, but it was a lot of fun to rave about how great these songs. Also: lots of talk about The Final Riot (filmed in our native Chicago), Jimmy Eat World, and the remnants of MySpace.

  • Paramore - All We Know Is Falling
    Jan 29 2025

    Today we're kicking off our new series on Paramore, starting with All We Know Is Falling. Launched into the heyday of the emo and pop punk revolution, it's a fun, catchy album and an impressive artistic statement for a band so young. We go through the album, a slew of early demos, and end the show with a new segment.

  • Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight
    Jan 22 2025

    We're a little bit baffled and a little bit intrigued by Under the Blacklight, Rilo Kiley's uneven swan song (for now?). As we finish our series on the band, we get into producer choices, a wealth of B-sides, and finally rank the discography.

  • Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous
    Jan 15 2025

    Rilo Kiley made the jump to a major label for More Adventurous, but we're still very much an independent podcast. Fortunately, that won't stop us from diving into this masterclass of songwriting and production.

  • Rilo Kiley - Take Offs and Landings
    Dec 18 2024

    Our Rilo Kiley series continues with their first proper full-length, Take Offs and Landings. We go deep on the brilliance of "Pictures of Success," get distracted by Explosions In the Sky album artwork, and suggest additions to Matt's emo trumpet playlist. In an unlikely turn of events, Troy even praises a Blake song.

  • Rilo Kiley - The Initial Friend
    Dec 11 2024

    Can we do the Frug? Can we do the Robocop? We certainly can’t do the Smurf. But we can talk about Rilo Kiley’s early years, their self-titled EP (also known as The Initial Friend), and whether Troy is related to Blake Sennett.
