Summary
Steven and Ian open with an acknowledgement of the show's fifth anniversary, which actually occurred a few weeks ago (0:30). From there, they note the announcement of yet another new Taylor Swift album and liken her to the MCU (3:43). They also talk about Steven's son recently getting into Eminem, and the scarcity of "danger-coded" music now (11:45). After that, they talk about the new Ethel Cain album and disagree slightly on its strengths and weaknesses (24:13). They also note the arrival of a new Chance The Rapper album, and how such news would have been a much bigger deal 10 years ago (33:43). Then they do a "yay or nay" on My Chemical Romance (46:00).
In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the slow-core band Teethe and Steven goes for veteran indie rocker Cass McCombs (49:52).

| 0:28.4 | we talk about Ethel Kane, the memory holing of Chance the Rapper, and yay or nay on My Chemical Romance. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. Like me, he forgot to |
| 0:33.3 | mention our fifth anniversary a few weeks ago. Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? |
| 0:43.4 | Yeah, my Google calendar has notifications for the 20th anniversary of rogue waves, |
| 0:46.8 | descended like vultures and Matt Pond P.A. several hours later. |

| 1:20.2 | in the middle of this. And we did. And, man, I would love to listen to those early episodes, but I also would feel like it would be |
| 1:29.9 | torture probably. I'm guessing those episodes aren't very good. Just because it was like the |
| 1:36.3 | worst time in human history, I think, to launch a topical music podcast, and yet we somehow |
