Brian Faughnan & Cort Winsett get together biweekly and start talking with each other (and with you the listener) about what they’ve been listening to lately. But they’ve got opinions on so. many. things. And not necessarily the opinions you’d always expect from two middle-aged white guys. Unasked for. Unnecessary. Unstoppable?

Episode 16: The ”White Keys” was the Rosetta Stone
Friday Nov 03, 2023
Friday Nov 03, 2023
On this episode Cort is a different person. Brian overachieved reviewing Walter Martin, "Reminisce Bar and Grill," and does a little reminiscing of his own about The Walkmen and Hamilton Leithauser; they play a little game called, “It Actually Matters a Lot if It’s Black or White” wherein they discuss The White Stripes v. The Black Keys AND their apparent feud?

Episode 12: I Still Know What You Did a Couple of Summers Ago
Friday Sep 08, 2023
Friday Sep 08, 2023
The guys discuss Elton John's 17-11-70, which leads to some sharing about live music performances generally, albums that are "Recorded Live!", and wild speculation about YouTube enabled attrition of concert audiences. There is a brief lament regarding streaming services' price hikes, that flows oh so naturally into talk of toxic fandoms and American football (of all things).

Episode 11: Turns Out I Like the Portland Sound
Friday Aug 25, 2023
Friday Aug 25, 2023
The guys discuss The Builders and the Butchers' self-titled 2007 Album. Cort continues his streak of being wrong about everything; this time it's his proclamation regarding the overall quality of the 7th song on any album. Brian is granted permission to be wrong about things too, and he makes a valiant effort to tarnish his otherwise unmarred record of perfection. All of that PLUS a detour into college athletic fandom before our bi-weekly trip into the Random Podcast Generator. It's a hoot.

Episode 10: Dexter’s Midnight Laboratory - An Experimental Pronouncement
Friday Aug 11, 2023
Friday Aug 11, 2023
pronouncement, n. The action or an act of pronouncing (something); a declaration, an assertion; (in later use esp.) a formal or authoritative announcement or declaration.
In Episode 10 (whoot! 10 episodes!) Brian reveals whether he digs these peaches or thinks they’re the pits. The boys play another alliterative pop culture game. There are updates to be given regarding trips to the theater, and past recommendations resurface. Cort gets a new music recommendation, and we learn how wrong Brian is about pronunciation. As always you can count on the Random Podcast Generator to make an appearance. Will the recommendation be apropos or apropos of nothing?
