Experience the Warmth - Incubus' Make Yourself

1/19/2026
We’re diving into Incubus’ 1999 breakout Make Yourself, one of the late 90s’ most thoughtful meditations on self-determination and what it means to be alive. Brandon Boyd’s lyrics grapple with questioning the privileges we take for granted, resisting systems designed to keep us compliant, and staying engaged when everything feels cold and empty. It’s a record that urges us to carve our own path and hold onto our humanity. Join us as we experience the warmth with Incubus.

11/28/2025
We're rounding out the month of November with a brand new episode digging into Fleet Foxes' self-titled breakout full-length record.

Stratospheric Sludge: The Deep Space Cuts of Hum's Defining Record

10/12/2025
We blast off into the stratosphere with Hum's 1995 masterpiece You'd Prefer An Astronaut, the Champaign, Illinois band's sonic collision of shoegaze shimmer and bone-crushing sludge metal. While MTV latched onto "Stars," the album's real treasures lie in the deep space between those radio moments—massive, swirling guitar walls courtesy of Matt Talbott and Tim Lash that feel like entire galaxies collapsing in slow motion. This is the record that proved heavy music could be beautiful, and shoegaze could absolutely crush. Strap in for lift-off.
