Welcome to the Good Music Show with Danny and Julius! Each episode they will give each other an album or playlist based around a theme, then talk about the music and artists that make it. They'll cover a wide spread of artists that they care deeply about: from 2Pac to Willie Nelson, John Prine to Donna Summer, Ray Charles to Future. Keeping an open mind to new styles allows Danny and Julius, as well as listeners, the opportunity to step out of individualized music bubbles and find new music to love.

S1 E7 Sarah Shook & the Disarmers' "Sidelong" x Mitski's "Puberty 2" - Physical Media Special

June 24, 2024 • Danny and Julius • Season 1 • Episode 7

It is easy to take for granted having access to almost all recorded music in existence. But having a collection of physical copies of your favorite music makes you realize how special it is. So today we are featuring two albums from each of our collections.

First up, Sidelong by Sarah Shook & the Disarmers. This debut album immediately grabbed Danny's attention upon hearing it, and he has been following bandleader River Shook through lineup changes and side projects ever since. Check it out if you want catchy, well-written, outlaw country style bangers and ballads.

Then we'll talk Mitski, who similarly has had a very consistent output. Her 4th studio album has one of her most iconic songs, but we'll talk about how all of her albums have at least one standout pop banger for the ages. This one is full of Pixies-esque loud-quiet-loud rock tunes, mixed with some art-rock / electronic influences. Plus, emotional lyrics that could just as easily be found in a book of poetry.

Since buying music directly from the artist is the best way to support them, here are links to buy these albums
