Summary

Bill and Brian take a break from going deep on a single album (because, you know, the holidays...) and instead bring you 10 great songs from some not-so-great albums. Bill shows you exactly how uncool he is by sharing 5 of his favorite tracks from underated late-90s bands. Brian shows you exactly how cool he is by giving you 4 songs written by dead dudes (you know they're cool because they're no longer living) and 1 song by a band we can't go a single episode without mentioning. Seriously, I think Murray the dog lost his job as podcast mascot to REM.

1:10.4	Obtainment, obtainment,
1:11.0	attainment.
1:11.8	Yeah.
1:13.4	Obtainment.
1:14.1	That's not a word.
1:15.7	It is now.
1:18.3	So this episode, we decided partly because we've only had like two days in between
1:24.2	podcasts, between episodes.
1:26.0	Yeah, or, well, I guess between tapings, as it were.
1:29.4	It will still be a week later, but it was only a few days.
1:32.6	So we didn't really have too much time to prepare too much stuff.
1:35.1	So we decided to just kind of take...
1:39.3	Sometimes there's a band that or an album that isn't quite as well regarded as,
1:47.5	uh,
