Hey, Adel. Hey, Aaron. I got a question for you, too. Oh, Adel. What's this going to be?

What are you fricking? What are you jamming on these days? What do you listen? What are you listening to?

I'm about to back up from my computer at the speed of light. If you were about to read lyrics to me in a monotone voice.

Are you about to read lyrics to me? You look me in the eye and you tell me you're not about to read lyrics to me in a monotone voice. Aaron, the last time we did this series of episodes, we were doing it with the music of the 90s. And I had to pivot, we did a couple of episodes on it, and I had to pivot away from it so quickly because you do not know

the music of the 90s seemingly at all. Or the 2000s or the 2010s or the 2020s or the 80s or the 70s

or the 60s. Do either one of you seek out new music?

I let Spotify do all the heavy lifting for me in my discover weekly.

I used to be pretty proactive about searching out new music,

and I feel like nowadays I kind of circle back to stuff I used to listen to, and then every once in while, either through a Spotify playlist or something, I will find new music, but I should

be better about it.

Well, I don't think anyone's judging you for not listening to new music.

Most new music is pretty bad.

Back when I had a pop music review show, I stayed more abreast of new music things happening

specifically in the world of pop.

I will say, though, I would try more things out and quickly abandon things, too, because

I would be like, okay, so this is an artist.

People are talking about this artist, and I'd give them a try, and be like, not for me.

Can't understand why they're for anyone, but they, you know, apparently are. I've been doing some amount of, like, an artist I already know I really like, and then going back and listening to every album in their discography. So like, I did that with electric light orchestra. And I was like,

holy shit, they have some absolute fucking banger albums from top to start. But I, I feel like

previously, I just kind of knew the hits. When you do that, do you start with the beginning of a

band's discography and go for, okay. Yeah. Because I will say, sometimes that's the move, but some, like, some bands definitely put out their first album as their best album.

Yeah.
