The Good Music Show
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.

S2 E11 Iggy Pop's "The Idiot" x Neil Young's "Tonight's the Night" - First Listens
Content warning: this episode contains lengthy discussions about death and drug use, and a brief mention of suicide.
On this episode we tackle two albums we've never heard before... until we listened to them for the first time for this episode! That's right, instead of perfectly curating a classic album for a prompt, today we are spinning some albums we've been meaning to check out but have not heard a single song from.
First we discuss Julius's pick. As a big fan of the Stooges, they never got around to checking out any solo Iggy Pop. Produced by David Bowie, The Idiot is Pop's first solo album and was recorded while both Pop and Bowie were trying to kick their drug habits. Does it meet the high standard set by the Stooges? Find out by listening!
On to Danny's pick, we talk about Tonight's the Night - the final installment of the unofficial "Ditch Trilogy." This era saw Neil Young eschewing the sounds of Harvest that skyrocketed his career. Instead, he made albums infused with raw emotion stemming from tragic losses in his life and struggles with substance abuse.
