Subscribe on iTunesWe're back with episode 13 of The Modern Vinyl Podcast and this time it's highlighted by the debut full length album from Bleachers, Strange Desire. We have a roundtable discussion on the record, our second instance of this segment, and chat all about what makes the album a great pop record. Before that, we talk about Weezer's upcoming album and if it could possible be a mix of the blue album and Pinkerton, while then finishing out the night with a round of Pick Your Poison. Stick around to hear one of the greatest lines ever to appear in a Weezer song and for a quick chat about what bands I should see on Warped Tour.We'll be taking a week break after this podcast, but we'll be returning strong after the short hiatus.Sidenotes:— I talk about how Rivers Cuomo wrote an early album in a hotel under the highway. The actual story is that the band rented "a pad directly underneath the 405 freeway" and well, some strange things followed. Anyways, the entire story can be found here and is incredibly interesting. Not sure if he actually wrote an album "under the highway" but it's a part of their mythology.Timeline:2:08, Weezer just dug their own grave6:25, Can Weezer write lyrics like they used to?9:50, We create the upcoming #hobocore genre (which apparently is a thing already?)16:20, What the new album title could signify17:20, Beginning of our Bleachers Strange Desire roundtable22:08, Standout songs33:49, Lowlights44:50, Pick Your Poison (Weezer Edition)Can’t Stop Partying vs. Let It All Hang Out (and kinda vs. In The Mall)MusicIntro Music from "Here Comes The Night Time," by Arcade Fire/Merge RecordsRoundtable Music from "I Wanna Get Better," "Like A River Runs," "Wild Heart" & "I'm Ready To Move On" by Bleachers/RCA RecordsWhere To Find Us@getcerebral /@chrislantinen /@notmichaelpaul
