In this week's episode we simply discuss what we've been listening. We briefly chat about albums by Let's Eat Grandma, NIN, and going to see The Horrors in Portland. Finally we chat about the latest release by Gorillaz and the oeuvre of the always fascinating Damon Albarn.

This week we chat about The Carters' 'surprise' release and the modern rap beef happening between Jay-Z & Co. and Kanye & Co. We also chat about the highly anticipated Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever new LP Hope Downs. We also highlight a couple favorites of the moment in Culture Abuse's Bay Dream and Flasher's Constant Image.

Episode 20! This week we discuss the latest Kanye release as a collaboration album with Kid Cudi under the moniker Kids See Ghosts. This is the 3rd release from Kanye in some form this month. There's a lot to unpack here and we had to save our conversation about The Carters' album for Episode 21.

Still in Barcelona, Hunter recaps the last day of the Primavera Sound 2018 festival but this time with me as a sounding board! He talks about the Arctic Monkeys performance, the Beach House performance and many many more. We also discussed Kanye's new album ye. Needless to say there was a lot to unpack here. Definitely one of our favorite episodes.

Here we go! Our first international interview! What a guest! Hunter spoke with C. Tangana, a spanish rapper that has taken Latin America and Spain by storm. He had a huge 2017 on the back of his hit single Mala Mujer. Hunter describes him as the Spanish Drake.

Part 2 of our Primavera Sound 2018 recap! Hunter talks about eating Tortilla Española but also how nuts Vince Staples was on day 3, he comments on Thundercat's awesome set, catching a little bit of The Breeders, full-sets from The National, Charlotte Gainsbourg, The Internet, the Migos cancellation (and the Skepta / Los Planetas replacement) and the Tyler, The Creator headlining set, Idles' late night set. He's got a belly full of coffee up and ready for day 4!

Hunter made it to Barcelona and has checked off Primavera Sound off his bucket list. In Part 1, he recounts the first 3 days of the packed lineup that is Primavera Sound.

A bit of a different format this week! Instead of going into specific news and reviews parts, we had a free flowing conversation about Beach House, Parquet Courts, Courtney Barnett and Stephen Malkmus.

Hunter talks about going to the Liam Gallagher and Richard Ashcroft show he saw in LA.
