The One Where Women in Baggy Pants Don't Give a Fuck

Anne & Anna are back!  Backstreet Boys have a new album, and I knew I had to have these two on.  We also discuss such topics as which 90's vocal groups we would go see at the casino, how to dress overalls up with glitter and the importance of safety shirts.

This week Lisa and Peter join me to talk about the new album by Sharron Van Etten.  Along the way we discover our favorite produce and take the time to appreciate the intricacies of the noises in the background.

After a more than brief hiatus, Four Track Reviews is back, and this episode has it all; more theremin, sandwiches for lunch, sunday school lessons and most of all three wonderful guests.  Jeff Boone, Quinn Larson and Alex Andrews join for a (maybe overly) personal conversation about the first album from Pedro the Lion in more than a decade.  We recorded for almost 5 hours, and I've edited it down to a reasonable length for you, but if things are a little choppy in places, i apologize.

Here it is, the Four Track Reviews finale!  It has been such a fantastic time putting this podcast on, but all good things . . .
