The world's most prolific creator Matt Farley is back again! Thomas opens with a selection of songs from 70s rock guys where they sound even more exhausted and worn out than normal - was this a trend? Matt F. then utterly baffles the group with an introduction to the most mysterious outsider musician ever... The one and only Jandek.

Massachusetts indie rocker Sailor Down is back on the pod! Thomas kicks things off with an ode to shoegaze. Chloe delivers a convincing argument as to why modern pop-star Noah Kahan is actually worth a closer look.

Our first guest! Matt brings on his oooold bandmate and chum Nathaniel Safren to join in the fun. Thomas opens the show with an in-depth examination into the Patron Saint of Long Island - the Piano Man himself. Lots of conflicted feelings... Nathaniel then talks about the legacy of the "skit track" in hip-hop albums, and almost gets the podcast canceled. Good job, buddy.

Matt shares a beloved compilation of classic soul tracks (his favorite genre, of course) called "Take Me To The River". Things then take a wild turn as Thomas unleashes what he claims to be the most self-indulgent album ever, and somehow also gets Poseidon Ishikawa into the mix...

Matt makes Thomas physically nauseous with a selection of nu-metal tracks from his youth, supposedly the cream of the genre's crop. Thomas then saves the day by digging into the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack, Richard O'Brien, and Tim Curry - imagining an alternate musical timeline that never was... https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.thinlear.com/

Matt unleashes his over-the-top enthusiasm for the very over-the-top "prog-adjacent" Electric Light Orchestra - particularly their album Eldorado. Thomas then sets off on a journey to discover the reason why many superb early 90's UK bands couldn't quite make their dent into the US market. It's a bizarre phenomenon known as the "Jangle-pop Bermuda Triangle"... https://www.thinlear.com/ https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/ Tiktok: (groan...) https://www.tiktok.com/@losingmyopinion Ask us a question via our DMs!

Matt shares one of his favorite 90's alternative albums that he believes should get to sit on the shelf with all the big boys like Nirvana or Soundgarden. Thomas then reveals some bizarre songs that are actually very near and dear to his heart. Are they guilty pleasures? That's for Judge Matt to decide, in the very first installment of "Guilty or Not Guilty?"

(Note: This episode was recorded much earlier than others. If anything seems weird, there ya go.) Matt shares his guiltiest musical pleasure - does it serve as escapism? A bizarre vicariousness? Who knows. Thomas introduces yet another Japanese band he loves, even more than their Western counterpart... Time for Kirinji!

Matt conducts a twisted experiment where they listen to five of the "best" Kiss songs - all for the first time - to see if they can't change their minds about the band at least a little. Thomas then starts sharing the good stuff. The real stuff. All songs previously shown may now be dismissed.
