Encore

This week's episode looks at a lot of the music that's come out in the past few weeks: The Hotelier, PUP, Thrice, and Saosin. We also look at the new music from Descendents, Sum 41, Yellowcard, and A Day to Remember. Plus, there's a nice tangent all about Less Than Jake. This is a fun one! We hope you like it.

We start by talking a little about the Academy Awards, do some follow-up on last weeks "best 10 albums of the last 15 years," and then tackle some reader questions. Thomas recounts his history with Set Your Goals, we give some updated thoughts on The Wonder Years' last album, and we look at how we've changed or matured how we handle conversations on the forums. We talk a bit about "where to start" with different forms of art by well known musicians or authors or filmmakers and then get into some of the big news over the last week: Transit have broken up, Yellowcard are back with Hopeless, and The Hotelier have released the track listing and album art for their new album. We end with some talk of Rolling Stone's top 40 emo albums and The 1975 aiming for that number one spot on two charts. And there's the return of the siren. Rejoice.

Topics include: Revisiting the entire "U2 on your phone" thing after it became a much larger story than we anticipated. We then look at the idea of having a "collection" of music and how or why that plays a role with digital files, streaming, and the rise of vinyl. Then we discuss the pretty awesome new Manchester Orchestra album and release method, and then talk a little bit more about Yellowcard's new one as well. We finish up with a discussion about Senses Fail signing with Pure Noise Records and thinking aloud about why bands still sign with records labels. The episode can be streamed and/or downloaded below.
