EPISODE 26
Once a generation, a group of artists appears to define the spirit of their time. With regards to American popular music, there was one group that stood out from the pack, able to deliver songs both catchy and deep, and one that created a whole new sound.

EPISODE 24, kinda
Folks,
While we strive to provide you with high-quality drivel here at ASR, there are moments where our synapses forget to fire. Whilst we rid ourselves of some mental gremlins and gear up for an exciting, fresh episode twenty-five, we present what we've dubbed our "Emergency Episode". This was done awhile ago, and consists mainly of Tyler trying to sound cool in the absence of a co-host, but hopefully it will keep at bay those of you desperate for your dose of weekly radio podcast. Cheers.

The Roots - The Seed
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - I Just Dropped In to See What Condition My Condition Was In
Irma Thomas - Breakaway
