In this, the first installment of our Yearbook series, we explore the good the bad and the ugly of 2010. A weird transition year with a lot thriving and some stuff dying. Provided: (hot?) takes and some indisputable realities. Also covered: New Age Anniversary Fest, the state of Alaska, Spotify, and guns. We're accidentally joined by Mike Abrusci of https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-little-time/id1230730210?mt=2 and (in the form of an off-mic yelling) Eric Wilson of https://itunes.apple.com/...
One normal host and two guest hosts. What could possibly go wrong?

We talk new music. Ecostrike; Krimewatch; Day By Day; Fiddlehead; Hirs Collective; Trail of Lies. Everybody's got records coming out and none of them can make Patrick happy.

Instead we went deep on Bodied Girl, TIHC, BnB Bowl, the window on reunions, a night at L'Amour, Patrick calls the Taste Police on Paramore, Tom details his love affair with Life of Agony, and we wax on live shows that got us off.

A quick episode (well, an hour) with a purpose. We talk a bit about how you can support us, then we get sucked into responding to the NME 'Greatest HC Albums' nonsense.
