Summary

Steven and Ian open this week's episode with some Halloween discourse, which unexpectedly dips into some Kindergarten Cop discourse (1:43). Then they turn to the Fantasy Albums Draft (11:23), which includes two new releases on Steven's team, Soccer Mommy's Evergreen (15:45) and Laura Marling's Patterns In Repeat. They also talk about the careers of both artists, and the state of 2010s era singer-songwriters in the mid-2020s. They also discuss the upcoming Tyler The Creator record, which drops on Monday, and the benefits of putting out music during the week rather than right before the weekend (24:01). From there, they talk about the recent Bon Iver EP Sable, which is the most straightforward music he's ever made, and his influence on contemporary artists (32:58).

In the mailbag, they address a listener question about cover songs. How many is too many? Does Vampire Weekend tip into "too many territory" on their current tour (42:22)?

In Recommendation Corner, Ian stumps for electronic artist Kelly Lee Owens and Steven talks up the Nashville trio Styrofoam Winos (48:52).

0:22.0	we talk about new albums by Bonnie Bear, Soccer Mommy, and Laura Marling. My name is Stephen
0:28.1	Heiden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. He's going as a negative pitchfork review for
0:32.7	Halloween. Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? So in honor of the 20th anniversary of Jimmy Eat World's Futures, which took place last Saturday,
0:42.8	obviously a very important landmark for me, I revisited the pitchfork review of Futures, a 3.0 from Mark Hogan,
0:51.9	and he called Futures like a rotten onion, revealing layer upon layer of foulness.
0:58.7	So I think that's the one I'm going with.
1:00.2	By the way, like Mark's my dude, but I just think it's funny that he was writing this kind of stuff,
1:04.7	and he's usually the guy you go to to, like, write a 7.8 for a Tweed Pop record.
1:10.2	Yeah.
1:11.1	I think you should go as the camp review.
1:13.4	1.6.
1:15.0	Or this flattered burrito of a set of Pete Hertz.
1:19.1	That'd be amazing.
1:20.0	I think that that costume would strike fear in the hearts of indie musicians everywhere.
1:26.3	Maybe you could go as a 8.0 emo album review that didn't get a best new music.
1:31.4	That could be your costume.
1:33.2	Yeah, I'm going to just wear the red flannel I already own and the red telecaster,
1:38.0	which I already own.
1:39.6	And, you know, I got two capos.
