Episode 97. Wait! This episode is different! We do our usual stuff, sure, but for an hour in the middle we interview Josh Jones of the Evangelicals and he even plays a few songs live in the FCR "studio" on his acoustic guitar. It's pretty bitchin'. Check it out. But please excuse the poorer-than-usual quality, we were having techincal difficulties out the wazoo.

Episode 94

New releases for November 27? No. It's going to be a slow remainder of the year for new releases, so we needed to come up with some creative ideas for the next few episodes. This idea was Will's: We each choose a year that had some of our favorite or most influential releases and play some songs from them. What years did we choose? What songs did we play? Listen to find out.

Upcoming shows:

Vampire Weekend - "Mansard Roof" (at the end)
