As a professional appreciator of music with no actual skill, I love to hear the takes of actual professionals. The different opinions and inside info makes me look at the albums I love in a new way. Fingers crossed for a Bowie album dive. 🤞

They also don’t take themselves to seriously, so the banter is definitely on the humorous side. Gotta say I enjoy it and hope they continue. My only complaint is that they don’t take the time to explain a passage or example by actuall... more
