Hi. I’m Brandon. And I’m David. We’re the hosts of “Late to the Party,” a podcast where we investigate and breakdown the “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die,” the 2016 edition edited by Robert Dimery. Why listen? Well, we are high school English teachers which means we’re experts at making nothing sound like absolutely everything. Every week we will listen to an album from the list and break down why it’s worth a listen, purchase, or pass.

Brandon and David each issued a challenge album for the other to listen to that they, for whatever reason, would not necessarily listen to in their own musical journies. Da…

There are over 500 recorded versions of “White Christmas” out there. How do we determine which is the definitive version and how do we separate it from nostalgia...or does nostalgia need Christmas like Phil Spector needs The Wrecking Crew? Another album featuring the famed Wrecking Crew? Brandon and David employ the assistance of their better halve…

What is post-emo? or evolutionary hipsterdom? Bravid praises this melancholic debut album from the brightest thing to come out of Canada since the lightbulb (look it up). This group sure does punch above its weight: arena shows, network specials, touring with Bowie, Album of the Year recipients. Operatic sounds with coming-of-age themes make this a…

Maybe inspired by the lyricism of Q-Tip, the duo gets abstract and grapples with the Busta problem while also celebrating Phife Dawg's rise. Needless to say, this episode is smooth like butter.…

Bravid (as they are sometimes known) discuss Harry Nilsson's "Nilsson Schmilsson". David attempts and fails to compare Harry Nilsson to Mickey Rourke and Brandon gives a huge shout out to Bobby Keys. You know Bobby Keys, right? Don't we all know Bobby Keys? Am I the only one who doesn't know Bobby Keys?--- Send in a voice message: https://podcaster…
