Summary

Steven and Ian open with a quick recap of the Grammys, including takes on Cowboy Carter winning Album Of The Year, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles still getting awarded trophies in 2025 [3:14], and the potential star power and cringe factor of Doechii [7:34]. Then they look back at the history of Super Bowl halftime shows ahead of the big game this week [15:28]. They also look at two albums in the fantasy draft that are out this week [24:35], by the British post-punk band Squid and the veteran singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten [32:47].

In the mailbag, they answer listening questions about the recent documentary directed by Questlove about musical guests on SNL [35:02]and the ethics of "name your price" shopping on Bandcamp [45:25].

In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the emo band Head North and Steven shouts out the Chicago post-punk outfit FACS [50:46].
