Will and Colin are joined once again by Philip Cosores as well as BPM CEO Evan Kaloudis for the latest BPMfm. The crew runs down releases from DJ Koze, Thanksgiving, Phosphorescent, Wavves, Justin Timberlake, Lapalux, and Blue Hawaii. The guys also get into the distinctions between bands who ripoff the past versus bands who are merely influenced by it, music critic revisionist history, the “canon,” and more.

This week we’re joined by ex-BPMer and organic gardening expert Erik Burg to discuss music from Waxahatchee, Pete Swanson, Youth Lagoon, Planningtorock, Rhye, Shlohmo and more. The crew also somehow starts to dig into the exclusivity of blog culture and the New York City indie music scene.

Well, it’s a long one this week. Will and Colin welcome back Zach Hart of We Listen For You as well as old friend and ex-BPMer Philip Cosores. The gang talks about albums from Beach Fossils, Iceage, Olof Arnalds, Nerves Junior, and Autre Ne Veut. And in the second half the guys tackle the topic of business versus art in pop music, Grimes, feminism, and Beyonce. Strap in.

Skip to 1:16:27 if you want to hear the discussion portion of the show. Yep, it’s a long one.

The BPM podcast has been resurrected. This is BPMfm. BPMers Colin Joyce and Will Ryan sit down with We Listen For You’s Zach Hart to discuss albums from California X, Daniel Bachman, WIDOWER, Foxygen, and Pantha du Prince. Superchunk and the state of 90s influenced guitar rock comes up in there somewhere and, of course, the trio pick over the recent Chief Keef/Pitchfork controversy as well as who’s allowed to write about what music culture. A lot is said and we regret none of it!

Among the celebratory moments of Comedy Bang Bang’s 3rd year anniversary podcast, it goes without saying that the most interesting guest appearance was a mini performance from none other than Annie Clark. She performed three of her St. Vincent tracks, “Surgeon”, “Cruel”, and, of course, “Cheerleader”. Check all three out below.

A strange episode this week as the majority of the crew couldn’t attend the recording, but stalwarts Erik Burg and Rob Hakimian were determined to put one out anyway. Starting off by discussing some small news stories this week, they then went on to talk about what they’d been listening to (which unfortunately somehow didn’t get recorded). Then, with the energy flagging a little, a plea was sent out on the Beats Per Minute twitter for people to join, and we got some interesting characters in on the act including BPMer and Aim To Misbehave podcaster Chris Bosman, Middle Class White Noise’s Sam Rutherford and Erik’s friend Jon. A lot of what was discussed will stay between the guys as it was a little NSFW and had to be removed, but there’s still plenty here to enjoy.

Track list:

Shabazz Palaces – “Blastit”
Kanye West – “Mercy” (feat. Big Sean, 2Chainz, Pusha T)
Liars – “No. 1 Against The Rush”
Kishi Bashi – “It All Began With A Burst”
Cold Specks – “Winter Solstice”
XXXY – “(I Know This) Can’t Be Love”
Lambchop – “If Not I’ll Just Die”

Long podcast this week as the UK’s Ray Finlayson jumps in as our first international guest recording abroad.

New albums from Amy Winehouse, ARMS, Sepalcure get discussed along with about a half-hour spent on Kate Bush’s fantastic new release, 50 Words For Snow. Also, “same which is” not “sandwiches.”

My computer crashed last week and getting this thing edited was tech issue after tech issue, so this week the cast is a little bit low on the production and without music. But none of that stops this Drake-train. The regular crew is joined by Chase McMullen in trying to single-handedly counteract all the critical love Drake’s new album Take Care has garnered. There’s also some mention of albums from Los Campesinos, Yelawolf, and Pinch & Shackleton, but mostly we talk about Drake. A lot.

One Thirty BPM Podcast Ep #4

Also note that we won’t be around next week due to Thanksgiving, so we’ll hopefully be back, baring more tech stuff, December 1st.

Robot voices, Rob’s furious typing (most likely hacking various music websites to alter Coldplay scores), and other technical problems abound in the ‘real’ first ever episode of the official One Thirty BPM Podcast. Andrew Bailey sits in with Will, Rob, and Sean to discuss the new Black Keys video, the recent Bridge School Benefit, Loutalica, Noel Gallagher, Tom Waits, Sandro Perri, and Andrew’s editorial “Music is everybody’s possession, but…” Second podcast already!?
