EPISODE 31

For some, this episode is a welcome celebration of one of the most recognizable indie-rock bands to come out of the nineties. For others (Tyler), it is a lesson in all things Modest Mouse.

Enjoy!

There are days when you wake up feeling like rubbish, and things only get worse from then on. For those of you who haven't experienced that in awhile... you're in luck! In Episode 29 we discuss some of the more depressing topics at present. Don't worry, though, as this week's music theme involves the most glee-inducing songs we could think of. Enjoy!

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.

Fame Becomes Her

Folks, long-time listeners know that we tend to post new episodes and not much else. However, I'm going to make an exception here. Alissa's presentation must have gone well, because she got mentioned in The Hamilton Spectator!
I think that deserves a post all on its own. Congrats Alissa!
