Summary

For this week, we have an unusually music-centered episode as the gang welcomes Noisey's Colin Joyce to talk about Lil Peep's posthumous Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2. What does it imply about the what Peep's creative direction might have been, and do the circumstances, assumptions, and compromises around its production complicate its place in Peep's body of work? And then Rob has been listening to Let England Shake as the world observes the centennial of the end of World War I. What does PJ Harvey's Great War-themed album tell us about the nature of the war's remembrance, and how it ties into the self-conception of the British Empire and Commonwealth? And if Harvey's album suggests the insularity and self-deception that was shaken by the horrors and scope of the First World War, is she entirely in on the joke?

1:07.6	new news, some of which we will not talk about here. This is a live list, right? We're
1:12.0	slanderous. I guess it's podcast. Well, I guess this is new news. It's a new fact. I'm
1:16.1	going to start just by reading from the second paragraph of Trader Joe's Wikipedia page.
