Welcome back to a very loose episode (have you noticed that Dan puts extra discussion at the end of the episode after the outro? There's some good stuff back there that is less about the songs, it was really fun discussion.)

We're back! It's a bit of a longer intro this time, explaining a bit of where we've been and what we've got upcoming. Skip to 1:10 or so if you just want to get into it.

We're back! Sorry we've been away for a bit, there's been a few things happening that was keeping us from recording. I (Dan) should have probably posted something about it but there was a lot going on and I slipped, sorry (hopefully absence makes the heart grow fonder?) 

We address that in the episode, as well as the fact that we won't be updating until after New Years, and thanking all our listeners. We've been doing this for about a year now, and it's been very fun, so thanks for everyone who's checking in with us.

Dan and Josh are getting METAL on this one. We may still be in Halloween mode.

Happy Halloween! We've got a short-y here, and we're trying something new. We may occasionally do a deeper dive into a single song. This one seems to have kind of broken Josh a bit, so we wanted to see why. 

Dan and Josh are getting into Synth-y Psych-Jazz today in the cool album from The Comet is Coming.  

Join us for a dive into the Irish supergroup Solas. We discuss the album, what's a cover and what's just playing a folk tune, and what's a fiddle?

No album today, Josh wanted to talk on mic about how we feel things have been going. On a note, thanks to everyone who listens, it's really cool that y'all are here for what we have to say, and we're having fun with it.

Come and check out some blistering licks with us and our special guest John Longo! We're looking at Slash's Apocalyptic Love this time. Check out Longo's band Bendt at https://www.bendtmusic.com/

Come on in, grab yourselves a plate. We're looking at MM..FOOD this week!

We're back! A couple days late for Pride Month, but we needed to hit the Wednesday release day.

We're going full pop on this episode with Troye Sivan. It was a great time recording, and there's some fun easter eggs at the end if you tune into those.

Hey everyone, we're actually taking a small break this week. The episode is saying basically the same thing, there's just been a good bit happening and we needed to do a quick pause. Check back in in two weeks and we'll be back!

Looking at probably our most recent album in this episode with Gifted by Koffee. We jumped this one ahead in the release order but Dan is pretty sure he caught references to episodes that haven't come out yet. Time is a made up concept but the episode is good and we had fun talking about this album!

If you have album suggestions you can let us know at lastvestigepod@gmail.com or @lastvestigepod on Instagram or Twitter

How do you even describe 100 Gecs? In a drastic tone shift from last episode Josh and Dan dive into the frenetic, noisey, and really catchy 1000 gecs. Come join us for King of the Hill references, Gex: Enter the Gecko jokes, and a ska song about beating up a jokey and stealing a horse! (Also probably some music talk somewhere along the line.)

This time around Dan and Josh are talking Gold-Diggers Sound by Leon Bridges. Along with the usual album overview and track thoughts, they talk about Leon Bridges’ history and his approach to this album. This episode has multiple references to a Texas Monthly article titled “How Going Home Helped Inspire Leon Bridges’s New Album—And Saved His Life”. You can find that article here, it’s worth the read: https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/leon-bridges-after-dark/ Thanks to our returning listeners for coming back and for anyone new, welcome to Last Vestige!

Dan and Josh are joined by a guest this episode! (Thanks Matt!) Taking a look at Amen + Goodbye from Yeasayer they talk indie rock, album pacing, and cover art (plus what they thought of the album.) Thanks to everyone who tuned in for our last album, and for anyone new, welcome!

In this inaugural episode of our podcast, Dan and Josh have listened to The Black Album by Metallica, as well as their albums that came before. Notes in hand they talk through the early history of the band as well as the changes in sound they heard leading up to The Black Album. 

We're trying something new, and reactivating our feed!

It's been too long, but we're back. We wanted to put out something quick and fun. Hopefully you're all still here, we've got plenty of full albums to come.

We're back with another guest! Looking at 2014's indie electronica groups Sylvan Esso's self titled album. It's fun!

Re-uploaded with the full ending! There's not much that got missed before, but it's all there now.

We're back with a fresh coat of paint! Do you like Last Vestige but don't want to listen to it with the album open next to you? Good news! We've done some upgrades, and are inviting some people close to us to come by and talk about albums that meant something to them.

It's our last episode before we move to our new format!

Looking at a very cool album that inspired a number of bands going forward.

In this episode we're discussing the musical comedy of what happens when a neuroscientist writes two songs based on surveys. It's...strange to say the least.

We're taking a look at Dr. House's tribute to the New Orleans sound. You've seen him diagnose patients and sometimes play piano with them, but here he shows his love by covering a whole host of songs.

But seriously we're bringing back our discussions of covers or interpretations, and actors getting music deals.
