| 0:00.0 | This episode of All Songs Considered comes to you from the NPR Music Podcast, which is your home for all things good and great in the music verse, including Alt Latino. |
| 0:08.7 | That's a show. We drop in this feed every Wednesday, and New Music Friday. We close every week with New Music Friday. |
| 0:14.3 | We've got new episodes of this show, new episodes of all songs considered, every Tuesday. |
| 0:19.1 | We did just have this special bonus episode yesterday where we |
| 0:22.3 | talked with Beck all about his new song Ride Lonesome. He's back with new music. Be sure to check |
| 0:28.2 | that out if you haven't already. But I'm kind of burying the lead here because, I mean, Beck is back, |
| 0:34.4 | but Sheldon Pierce, you're back. I am back. It's been a little while. It's been a minute. So I don't know how this happens, but, you know, I do have a couple other people on, do a couple theme shows. Next thing I know, last time you were on was end of February. Yeah, yeah. Which feels like a lifetime ago. On that show, we were talking about our favorite new tracks of the week. |

| 1:08.6 | My God, we've got a new song from Boards of Canada. It's the first in more than a decade. |
| 1:13.2 | We're going to play that in a little bit. |
| 1:15.0 | If we hadn't just devoted a whole episode to the new Beck track, |
| 1:18.9 | I would have totally played it on this week's show. |
| 1:21.8 | And I actually want to start the show with Jack White, |
| 1:24.6 | since I can't start with the Beck. |
| 1:26.3 | Jack White, he dropped a couple of singles |
| 1:29.1 | just a couple of weeks ago, but this is our first new music episode we've done since he dropped |
| 1:34.1 | these songs. The one I want to play is called God and the Broken Ribs. The other one he released |
| 1:39.3 | is called De Rache de Monaco. And again again these came out at the top of April |
| 1:45.0 | both are great but this one |
