&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;In this bonus episode, Isaac and Carter recap the first half of 2019 in music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Due to recording difficulties, the audio discussion of our top tracks was lost. Carter's audio only will be available as a separate download in the coming days. We apologize for the issue.]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
4. &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdJbW8sKa9M"&gt;How To Build a Relationship - Flume feat. JPEGMAFIA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
One of Flume's hardest hitting and most adventurous tracks backing unfiltered JPEGMAFIA attitude.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
3. &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbXnnn8z1tE"&gt;Rylan - The National&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
The excellent studio debut of a live staple for the band.&amp;nbsp; A highlight off their otherwise bloated album&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
2. &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq4hPOwdjhk"&gt;Flat Tummy Tea - Freddie Gibbs &amp;amp; Madlib&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
Perhaps the best performance on an album filled with great contributions by Freddie and Madlib.&amp;nbsp; More then any other track carries the minimalist sample focused production and transitions which Madlib excels at.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
1. &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIcVwH47uxQ"&gt;Not - Big Thief&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;
The lead single off their second 2019 project, Not delivers on the promise for a rawer and more focused evolution of the mystical indie rock and folk Big Thief initially impressed with.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
