2019 Wrap-Up Episode

If you're wondering why there's no video for this episode, it's because Mike's an idiot and he managed to lose it. Since this is a music podcast, it's only necessary we talk about our favorite albums of the year, if only to prove that we're still hip. Aside from Alex and Mike's picks for album of the year, there are no rankings on this episode. All of these albums are great and you should listen to them all. Finally, to close off the episode, we talk about our biggest surprises and disappointments from albums we've talked about on the podcast. It's a good time, aside from the fact that there's no video, completely ruining a visual gag where Mike was literally wearing 3 different Lingua Ignota t-shirts, slowly revealing them one-by-one throughout the episode and confusing the hell out of Alex. If you listen closely, you can hear when it happens. Happy New Year!

Closing track: "Tourniquet" by Baroness from Gold & Grey
