No Skips – Details, episodes & analysis

Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it—well, Lisa and Jack tried. Taylor Swift’s landmark pivot to pop album has a lot of iconic songs, but none of them connect. Swifties would do well to avoid, though the preamble highlight her many admirable qualities. Come for the de rigeur Billy Corgan invocation and French word jokes, stay for Jack saying “articulation” and Lisa saying “Jake Gyllenhaal” roughly fifty times a piece.

What is this? We are back for more! We are coming at you with a new episode where we cover one of Lisa’s favorite artists of all time, Tame Impala, and his third studio release “Currents.” This album has some of his most touching songs as well as some fo the most catchy that Tame Impala has ever released. Join us for a good time. It’s good to be back.

On our first ever bonus episode, we are covering our personal favorite tracks from albums that won't be covered on the show. From post punk to R&B, dark electronic to psychedelic rock, it's all here. Here's some insight to the songs Jack and Lisa really truly love.

We are covering the first half of 2Pac’s double album “All Eyez On Me” this week. 2Pac was an undeniable power house of a rapper, and the first half of this album features so many of his greatest hits. Listen as we dive back 25 years to this phenomenal album.

Up this week is TV on the Radio's incredible second album, "Return to Cookie Mountain." The album has "Wolf Like Me" and "I Was a Lover," but there's so much more to this entire album. Definitely give it a listen! There are plenty of hidden gems. 

On the docket this week is Simon and Garfunkel's final studio album, "Bridge Over Troubled Water." A short play at 36 minutes, but full of some ultra-memorable tracks. Give it a listen! 

This week we are covering the big beat monster that is “Exit Planet Dust” by The Chemical Brothers. It dropped in 1995 and laid the framework for electronic music for decades to come. Give this killer album a listen along with us.
