Endless Scroll

Rejoice, it's the first list episode of the year! We each run down our 10 favorite releases of the year so far. 

This week on Endless Scroll, we share our thoughts on this weekend's Grammy Awards. Plus, reviews of new albums from Camp Cope and PUP. 

This week we have a PACKED show for you. We start with a discussion of what ownership means in the digital era and talk about Secretly Canadian removing Jens Lekman's 'Night Falls Over Kortedala' from streaming and sale. Then, we have reviews of new albums by Oso Oso, Bellows, and Charli XCX. 

On this week's classic episode of Endless Scroll, we're not doing a new album review, nor are we discussing the music industry. No, this week we're joining the Anniversary piece industrial complex and talking about our favorite albums from 2002. Each host has chosen one pop record, one indie record, and one wildcard to talks about them. Happy 20th anniversary, things from 2002.    You can buy our new zine WHERE THOSE TWO THINGS INTERSECT now! If you want one, visit our store https://endlessscroll.bigcartel.com/product/where-those-two-things-intersect-issue-1   As always, we'd love it if you rated and reviewed our show on iTunes and Spotify. 

This week we start by debriefing on our first time hanging out in person at #EndlessScrollSummit2022, going over the weekend’s highs and lows. Then, we offer commentary on Bandcamp’s recent acquisition by Epic Games and discuss what its implications could be. Finally, we review the new album from the LA-via-Albany band Drug Church.

On this week's classic episode of Endless Scroll, we once again discuss our favorite records by a label we love. This time around, we look at the catalog of Double Double Whammy. From early classics to recent releases, there's so much to love here. 

On this week's classic episode of Endless Scroll, we start by touching on Michael's appreciation for Black Country, New Road's recent album 'Ants From Up There.

For you this week we have the classic Endless Scroll Structure: an album review and a discussion topic. We go in depth on the issues with the ongoing Spotify discourse, and we talk about the new double LP from Big Thief, 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You.' The episode title will make sense, we promise. 

Mitski has a new album out after a nearly four year hiatus, so naturally we're dedicating this week's episode to discussing it. We're joined by Mia Hughes, an excellent writer with bylines at Stereogum, Billboard, NME, Revolver, and more.    You can support Endless Scroll by rating and reviewing on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and by subscribing on Patreon at www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod   You can also preorder the first edition of our zine Where Those Two Things Intersect on https://endlessscroll.bigcartel.com/

This week we do another record label deep dive, but a little differently. Because Polyvinyl Records has existed for 25 years, we decided to discuss it through three albums each that we love released by them.

This week on Endless Scroll we review FKA twigs' new mixtape CAPRISONGS, and the debut album from Anxious. We discuss and riff on Spotify vertical videos and Apple Music making album arts into .gifs. Plus, we wax nostalgic for the golden day of the iTunes store. 

This week we are answering questions from you, the listener! You asked us our thoughts on everything from the 2010s Mumford-core wave to our favorite Joyce Manor Songs, and we answered. You'll notice we have new art. This lovely piece was done by Mac Pogue.

For the first Endless Scroll of 2022, we think about the year to come and predict what trends we'll see in music. Plus, we discuss our most anticipated records of the year. 

We're off this week, please enjoy a gem from our bonus feed. You can access all our bonus content at https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod This week in the bonus feed we're discussing the discography of 4th wave emo favorites, The Hotelier. Some of us consider this personal canon, one of us gets too deep in the weeds about the difference between emo revival and 4th wave emo, one of us has never listened to the band at all. See if you can guess who is who!      

Welcome to the Endless Scroll office Christmas party. Rather than give each other the impersonal gifts of a white elephant swap, we put our spin on Secret Santa. Each host drew the name of another, and recommendede them an album they don't alrady know, and might like. Happy Holidays to you all, and thanks for making 2021 the best yet for our show. We have so much more coming in 2022!

This week we're joined again by writer & friend of the show Emma Madden to discuss their recent article in Entertainment Weekly on the gamification of fandom. You can and should read Emma's piece here: https://ew.com/music/video-games-music-fandom-lil-nas-x-deadmau5/

This week we round out our 2021 wrap-up with an episode that's not about music from this year. We each picked three things we discovered or finally checked out this year and enjoyed to talk about. Plus, we're joined by our beloved producer Cayla! 

Our year end wrap up continues with its biggest installment yet: our albums of the year! We each chose our top 10 albums, EPs, projects, what have you, that came out this year.  Link to the Listener/Reader poll https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfQWVpYZlOw8hUbnya0a2vt9bmwx3g-Su1fCkN8pv5MumzCYg/viewform?usp=sf_link
