If April seems like a while ago it’s because it is. It’s nearly July and we’re falling behind. But there was some great music and we’re committing to rounding it up. Dive in to see what we thought about Vampire Weekend, Pearl Jam, the Libertines and very possibly some artists under the age of 40.

In a big month for country-leaning records (Waxahatchee, Adrianne Lenker, Kacey Musgraves), Mannequin Pussy blow away the cobwebs with a genuine AOTY contender. Meanwhile Jack Antonoff stands out for entirely different reasons - his wretched Bleachers album is one of the biggest flops of the year.

Do you remember the '90s, when teen movies featured 30 year old actors pretending to be children, gags about sex crimes, and subplots about romancing your stepbrother? Thankfully one thing has stood the test of time: the killer soundtracks. From Clueless to Cruel Intentions, American Pie to She’s All That, these OSTs were often as good as LPs from the era. On this episode, Gabbie briefly hijacks hosting duties and leads the gang in writing (and starring in?!) a brand new teen movie, inspired by all the old tropes, and complete with a perfect soundtrack of all new '90s-inspired tracks.

On the first all-host Quarantine the Past episode of 2024, we dust off the typical, stale neighborhood bar jukebox with what we think will make great classics in another 20 or 30 years. As always, we feature only new, mostly small indie artists that we hope are new to you (but sound just close enough to your old favorites to feel familiar).

By now you've probably heard of The Lemon Twigs, whose 2023 album Everything Harmony brought the young, sunny rock band universal acclaim. But they are just one of many in a new generation of power pop revival acts. Today, David Coleman interviews one of his favorites - Billy Tibbals.

As all four hosts coordinate their 4 separate time zones to record the first official episode of the new year, Joe and Gabbie tide you over with another edition of Musical Gaps, this time with one of Gabbie's most glaring blind spots: D'Angelo's Voodoo. Listen in as they talk about his influences, his collaborators, and yes... that music video.

After travel and life led to a longer-than-planned hiatus, the gang return to debate the biggest and best records of the last 12 months. This isn't just a list of albums though -- we take a dive into the most noteworthy selections: the surprises, the disappointments, and the ones that provoke the biggest disagreements. Join our hosts for a trip through the year that was 2023.

Join Gabbie and Joe as they seek to address one of the most glaring gaps in Joe’s musical knowledge: The Cars. Listening to their self-titled LP, will Joe be won over by their indelible power-pop melodies or, as Gabbie fears, will the Queen-esque production prove too much for Joe’s delicate sensibilities?

What’s the point of the Smashing Pumpkins in 2023? Is Mandy, Indiana or BC Camplight the true sound of Manchester? David and Juan search for answers to all of May’s big questions in this belated but still (we hope) worthwhile edition of the New Music Round-up.

For our latest dose of 90s nostalgia, we sample the delightful debut album from cult Glaswegian indie-rockers Urusei Yatsura. Recently re-released on vinyl by Rocket Girl, it’s sure to appeal to fans of Pavement, Sonic Youth, and Scottish indie legends like The Pastels. Thanks to the band for allowing us to share clips of a few standout moments.

Buckley-denier Gabbie and teenage Jeff-obsessive Joe meet to discuss maybe the most revered one-album artist ever. How has Grace managed to pass Gabbie by for so long? Does Joe still feel the same about that voice as he did in high school? And, most importantly of all, is this a musical gap worth addressing?

Four new tracks. Just one rule: no guitars allowed.* This month, the gang bring in Italo-disco with Nuovo Testamento, boom bap with J DaVon Harris and Skyzoo, breakbeats with Memphis LK, and indie sleaze-inspired no wave with Baba Ali.

Musical gaps. We all have them, especially in the streaming age where there's so much stuff to get through. Music experts will tell you there are certain artists you MUST love, but on QtP, we know that's not realistic and we hate gatekeeping. So, in this episode, we dig into Pavement: a much-lauded group (and the inspiration for the podcast name, no less) that Joe has next to no knowledge of. Listen in as Gabbie guides him through their back catalogue and Joe learns a thing or two.

The hosts take a look back at Dusk, the 1993 album by The The which signaled a change in direction and had an impressive list of collaborators. Plus, in light of a recent 10/10 review on noripcord.com for the latest Andy Shauf album, they ask -- is any record can ever be truly deserving of a perfect score?
