Absolutely the best music podcast I’ve ever heard. I’ve been introduced to so many bands I never would have heard of because of this podcast. I’ve also heard honest, comprehensive reviews of albums I would never have known existed! Mike & Alex are fun to listen to, and pretty swell guys as well.

Thanks Mike and Alex. Totally fun and enjoyable music podcast. I started with the Replacements and Husker Du episodes but now I listen to every episode whether I love, hate, or don’t know the band or artist. Good thing you can never run out of albums

Listening to experts talk about anything is inherently interesting and the hosts really know and love their subject matter, its infectious. Loved the Soundgarden episode.

Regardless of whether Mike and Alex mutually or exclusively love or hate a given artist, album or song - it’s a blast hearing them give their unfiltered opinions on the music. They really know their stuff too.

I like the concept of this podcast but each episode would be half its current length if the boys didn't pepper their commentary with an F bomb every five seconds. Nonstop swearing is not a mark of intelligent people -- sorry lads.

This podcast isnt terrible, it’s pretty standard fare: Two guys who really like music and do a shallow dive into every album an artist does.
Because they cover some bands I really like a lot, I was willing to overlook the two-guys-riffing-it approach that I normally stay away from, but the first crack in the wall was the Black Flag episode where there were enough misconceptions shared that a few times I thought, “I should be telling these guys about Black Flag, not the other way around.”
I hung in for another dozen or fifteen episodes, but the one that killed it was the Velvet Underground episode where the pretty much both say they hate VU and Lou Reed for many reasons.
I certainly understand that, but what I didnt understand is why they were even doing a VU episode….which lead me to wonder why I was listening to this podcast. And I didnt have an answer.
Good luck, guys…I mean that. My best advice is to spend more time in prep and less time feeling the need covering bands you dont like just because theyre supposed to be important.
