Wow this one ended up being a little long. In this one we create a supregroup out of rock n' roll trading cards. It honestly ended up being a lot of fun. I think the run time is worth it.

In this one Tanner made us a playlist to get us update with some new bands we should be excited about. Well we gave it a listen and gave our thoughts. Also we kind of s**t on pop punk, perhaps a little too harshly but we definitely get into the weeds about how subjective music is.

In this one we pay our respects to the late great Jimmy Buffett. We recorded this episode way back in 2020 but I can't think of a better way to pay tribute to Mr. Buffett then Mitch trying to convince me that I should like Jimmy Buffett. And truthfully it took longer than this episode but eventually he convinced me. RIP Mr. Buffett......just in case no one believes me here is picture of me fully committing to the Buffett lifestyle.

In this one we talk about our favorite underrated album covers. Ya know, those album covers that you love but never get brought up in conversation. Mitch came up with some amazing categories for album covers. Let us know if you have any that we didn't talk about.

Also RIP to the king Mr. Jimmy Buffet. Definitely sadden to hear the news. We will definitely have some kind of tribute episode to him in the future so keep an eye out.

In this one we travel back to 2009 to talk about what we think was the best album that year. Then we also somehow find a way to s**t on Michael Jackson and what is typically regarded as the greatest pop album of all time. Not much of a shocker but there's a couple of tangents.

Belated Happy Birthday America! This episode was supposed to be released on the 4th but unfortunately we have been running a little behind. In this one we discuss 6 albums that we think of when we think of 'Merica. Don't worry there is only a couple rants.

31/07/2023

Hi guys! Sorry we had to step away for a little to get some affairs in order. But we are officially back!

Admittedly we are more busy than last time with 2 Friends 3 Questions so we are still trying to figure out a schedule that works best for us. So the next couple episodes will come out back to back weeks then we do plan on switching to an every other week release schedule. It's going to help us put a little more effort into the episodes and just overall be a little more consistent.

As always we just want to say thank you for everyone who listens and we hope we can just keep improving the podcast to make it as good as possible.

In this one we get into an album deep dive of U2's Rattle and Hum. Mitch makes Eli listen to perhaps one of the more controversial U2 albums. Did he like it? Did it hate it? I guess you'll have to listen to find out.

In this one Mitch goes on a bit of a rant about some concert faux pas'. It is not often that Mitch has a strong opinion so don't miss this one.

In this one we get into the Filthy 15 of the 1980's and how the music industry forever adjusted to the parental advisory sticker. You will definitely hear about how we feel about Ronald Reagan and the impacts the Filthy 15 still has today on the music industry. Plus we s**t on John Denver.

If you ever have lived in a city or town you may to want to check this one out. We found the man who probably wrote a song about where you are from. Is the song good? Well I guess you'll have to tune in and see.

In this one, Mitch is nice enough to let Eli go on (maybe a little too long) about why Foo Fighters are his favorite band. Despite the fact that there are better bands that exist. A little heavy on the nostalgia and tangents but enjoy!

Wow, Mitch killed it on this one. You remember all those cool rock bands you stopped listening too around 2008. Well we talk about at least most of them. But honestly, Mitch did a lot of really good research into the garage rock revival of the early 2000's. Check it out. Also this one is pretty unedited so you have been warned.

Hey guys! Well we had to return to Earth for a little while so we can take care of some family matters. We hope you didn't miss us too much this past week. But we talked to Scotty and got the starship ready to go and we are back at it. New episode out this Tuesday and more after that. Thank you for all the kind words and continued support since we started exploring the Vinyl Frontier. Thank you.

Fresh spanking new one off the press for you. Honestly, this one is long but man was it fun. We had a good time. Have you ever listened to the golden records that NASA sent into space in 1977?......well we did. Are they good? Did we make a lot of jokes? I guess you'll just have to listen to find out.

Well, in short....we're back! We are super thankful for all the support we had from the 2 Friends, 3 Questions podcast. We are super proud of what we were able to accomplish, mainly finishing it. 2 Friends, 3 Questions is not gone. We plan on keeping all those episodes available but times...they are a'changing.

We wanted to do something new and exciting so we are stoked to announce our new podcast "The Vinyl Frontier". We figured we talked about music so much we might as well double down and let people know what they are in for. We have some really fun episodes that we are excited about. Stay tuned, keep your eyes towards the stars.

Soon two music nerds will boldly go where no two music nerds have never gone before.
