Beck Did It Better
Beck Did It Better is a podcast that works through Rolling Stone's list of the top 500 albums, discussing one album at a time. Alongside the music talk, the hosts give dating advice to their single friend, joking that the advice has been bad enough to keep them recording on Friday nights.

The Modern Lovers: The Modern Lovers (1976) ep. 288
FROM ROLLING STONE: Jonathan Richman moved from Boston to New York as a teenager in hopes of sleeping on Lou Reed’s couch. That influence shows on the two-chord anthem “Roadrunner.” Recorded in 1972 but not released until 1976, Lovers turned the tough sounds of the Velvets into an ode to suburban romanticism. “Rock & roll was about stuff that was natural,” Richman said. “I wasn’t about drugs a

In 1994 on this day Biggie married Faith Evans and very little else happened on that date so this is the ep you are getting while we finish up our summers. To be honest, I have no idea if this is any good or not but it is episode 22 which is very funny unless you understand the concept of aging.
