Episode 226 - I Guess We're Doing Hot Picks Now

This week's episode is a little bit short, but no less sweet than usual. It's a fun one where I complain about the weather, then talk about new releases from Mumford & Sons, Mitski, and Squeeze. I had fun with it. You might too!

Photos! They're BACK!!!

Here's your cover photo! Neat, huh?

This is the new Mumford and Sons album. I think I was starting to say, but then got distracted, that I have no idea why an album called "Prizefighter" has a Zippo lighter as the cover photo...other than I assume they're going to be selling $200 Zippos as merch on tour... But I still like it.

...and here's what distracted me! I apparently bought one of the autographed copies and didn't realize it! That's pretty cool!

Newest album by Mitski, and my HOT PICK of the week! It's a really beautiful album that has made me want to explore her entire back catalogue. Well done.

And here's my potential HOT PICK of the whole damn year (at least so far). The newest album by Squeeze is a very cool, immersive listen and I really hope they bring the tour to St. Louis this time!
