Happy 4th Of July! We're celebrating ironically with Born In The U.S.A., the legendary seventh studio album by the pride of New Jersey, the Boss himself! Bruce Springsteen's iconic title track is one of the most misconstrued songs in popular music.. We'll get to the bottom of why it's so misunderstood and relive our Glory Days as we talk about the record's unique cassette demo origins! The Mixtaper is bringing No Surrender with REALLY old songs, a smelly duplex, and offspring-steen equestrians. It's an album full of compelling characters facing everyday life, told through powerful vocals and in memorable melodies. From the outskirts of Darlington County to a chain gang Working On The Highway, Born In The U.S.A. is sure to keep you Dancing In The Dark. (And if you're out there, Bobby Jean... The Boss has you on his mind!)

We're going down, down in an earlier round, and Sugar, We're Going Down spinning! This week we're talking about Fall Out Boy's quintessential 2005 pop-punk record From Under The Cork Tree! With hits like Dance, Dance and song titles longer than we can fit in the episode description, it's a great intro to the band that would go on to Save Rock And Roll. James & Connor talk about Fall Out Boy's history and make very persuasive arguments for their scores. Plus, The Mixtaper (real friend or sham friend?) is setting interview records, getting paid in pizza, and teaching us about anarchoprimitivism during Fact Or Spin! Of all the podcast feeds in all the world, you found this episode in yours. So douse yourself in cheap perfume and do it for the scars and stories.. we don't blame you for being you. Is it our Sophomore Slump, or could this be our Comeback Of The Year?

We're on a mission to learn about all the members of Boygenius, and this week we have a Ringside seat to Julien Baker's incisively personal third album Little Oblivions! You won't find many choruses, but you WILL find raw, honest lyrics that aren't just Crying Wolf. Tracks like Faith Healer, Heatwave, and Favor take us through her youth, anxieties, and experiences on a one-way musical journey with great instrumental breaks between verses. The Mixtaper has discovered Reddit, and he's casting a vote for Best Smile, Best Dancing Meme (young & sweet), and Greenest Hair! We also crown Spin It royalty with the coronation of our Pickle Queen!! It's a solid back-to-back-to-back-to-back album that you'll definitely add to your Highlight Reel and play on Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!
