Episode 43: Murdered people murder people

Brian and Cort both listened to Coldplay's newest album Moon Music and asked, "What happened to Coldplay?" There is some discussion of the evolution of an artist's music. They cannot avoid the large red elephant in the room! And there is a twist on the weekly assignment that Brian calls the "conditional" assignment.

Episode 42: Little Funky in My Tummy

Cort reviews Heatmiser's Mic City Sons.  At length.  Then the guys talk about the audiobook version of Fonda Lee's Jade War.  Then Brian finally comes up with a game Cort is halfway decent at starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. And then at the end, Cort's wife might get recruited for Random Podcast Generator?

Episode 41: Shoved or Loved?

Ever the overachiever, Brian listens to twice as much music as was actually required of him in Cort's musical assignment, and he is left wanting.  Come along as Brian tries to justify his ill feelings toward Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Volumes 1 & 2.  They briefly discuss their most recent Random Podcast Generator result, The Dark Art Society Podcast with Chet Zar. Spoiler alert, it was boring.  There's a discussion of Nobody Wants This and its presumed inspiration Call Her Daddy.  And then ... well, it's been a while since Brian and Cort recorded, so just trust me, the boys had a lot to discuss.

Episode 40: The One with McCarty (feat. Tricky)

The guys welcome their first ever guest to celebrate their 40th regularly scheduled episode. And it’s another Brian.  World-famous photographer, and, more importantly, occasional musical influencer, Brian McCarty, founder of the nonprofit organization WarToys®. Brian had Brian&Cort (Trademark pending) listen to Master of My Make Believe by Santigold.  This episode is truly a deep drive down musical memory lane.

Episode 39: Piercing the Veil: Backdoor Oasis

Cort goes raw in the notes App. We might expose our ignorance.  AND we introduce our listeners (like us) to the possibility of a new reality.  Listen up!

Episode 38: Little House on the Prairie Companion

Brian survives the unprecedented "Triple Crown Assignment."  There was some Chappell Roan, some history, and some Eminem.

Episode 37: That's a four-headed boy

Wherein Cort reports back to Brian on his experience with Neutral Milk Hotel.  We dig pretty deep into the band and its lead singer.  We also got our first email.  Brian discusses his experience with his Random Podcast Generator-suggested episode of Hop Nation USA. Jack White's new album comes up, but Brian ain't no fool.  He's not burning a possible listening assignment by telling too much right off that bat.  We also talk about one of Cort's guys. Cort is a huge fan of Chuck and the guys break down Zachary Levi's post-Chuck career. There's so much more.  Have a listen.

Episode 36: Trent Reznor's Groovin' Blocks

Brian discusses his challenging listening assignment. Cort reveals that his heart does not go on for Celine Dion. We eventually admit our first failure to follow through with a listening promise (and how much one of us loves passive aggression). and we become invested in the Song of the Summer.
