Endlessly irritating yet entertaining
As much as I dislike hearing people crap all over some of the best music produced in the 20th century, I keep coming back to it. It’s nice to hear alternative takes to the culturally hip critics’ canonization, and occasionally their criticisms are on point. Having said that, I think they could bone up on their history of some of these albums. Their knowledge of punk and post punk in particular is abysmal and embarrassing. The mispronunciation of the great John McGeoch is one of the many cringe-worthy examples. However I get the sense that these guys despise amateurism in music and only truly enjoy music made by virtuosos and consummate professionals, so I think that’s where it stems from. I’m probably being a bit generous with my three star rating, but overall I respect what these guys are trying to do. Definitely worth a listen.

The second was Surfer Rosa by Pixies, which they unmitigatedly fumbled....Read full review »

Lots of face palms and the occasional fist shaking at the clueless hosts. It will get you laughing at times. Also, informative and sometimes technically accurate. Comes out on Mondays. There are worse ways to start the week.
