About this episode

Cort and Brian discuss the debut album 'Sadnecessary' by Milky Chance, touching on its similarities to other music, sports drama, and various TV shows.

This week, Cort assigned Brian the debut album Sadnecessary by Milky Chance, and what follows is a discussion about: The suspicious similarity threaded through half the album’s tracks Why both of us had déjà vu listening to songs we swear we’ve heard before by a band we've never heard of The fine line between “signature sound” and “they’re just doing the same thing over and over” Whether Milky Chance is still milking it From there, things go exactly where you’d expect:Oscars predictions we absolutely butchered, the ongoing paranoia of being wrong about everything, Memphis vs. Nashville sports drama, a surprising amount of TV talk (Traitors, Jury Duty, Paradise), and a reminder that we are, in fact, not experts on anything. At least not anything we talk about on this show. Also, Brian gives a correction on a song we unfairly maligned and mentions some hot takes about stuff showing up on his new music radar (Noah Kahan, Death Cab, Modest Mouse, Black Keys, and more). Cort's next assignment? A podcast. Because we occasionally remember what our show is supposed to be about. 📧 Email us: listenerslikeyou2023@gmail.com 📱 Find us: @listenerslikeyoupod Brian's last assignment…
