On the fourteenth season premiere of Discologist, Eduardo and Kevin are cranking up the volume on the issues facing the music industry, imagining a world without Pitchfork, and spinning new tracks that they love from the debut of Milwaukee’s The Breadmen, “country witch” Kitty Coen’s latest spell, Katy Kirby’s stunning new album Blue Raspberry, and the chilled out jam-jazz of Mildlife’s upcoming album Chorus.

HYPE has always been a part of the music/entertainment industry, but in 2018, have we gone too far? Increasingly, it's not enough anymore that an artist delivers a few great hooks. To succeed they have to be the greatest of all time, the savior of the music industry, or, even worse, the voice of a generation, all often without even having a single album under their belts.

On our latest episode, our friends Philip Basnight (Broke Royals) and Rafa (Rafa's One Man Band, Saduardo's actual brother) are joining us for a frank discussion about how we consume, market, share, and celebrate music in the modern era.

Earlier this week the monolithic music website Pitchfork announced that they had been acquired by monolithic mega-publisher Condé Nast, throwing teh internets into a frenzy. Is this the end of music journalism? The death knell of the modern "tastemaker?" An opportunity for a new golden age of criticism to begin? We invited Marcus Dowling and Random Nerds Editor-In-Chief, Bryce Taylor Rudow to the basement to get to the bottom of it all in this BONUS EPISODE of ChunkyGlasses: The Podcast.
