313: TOP 5 LONG ALBUMS / BIG THIEF REVIEW

Long albums result in a long episode. Can't say we're not on-theme.

Dave Hanratty and Craig Fitzpatrick battle through a heavy week and find all kinds of pockets of space in order to listen to an 80-minute Big Thief record for purposes of considered review, while also deep-diving into their shouts for the most notable protected long-players around.

All that and thoughts on the current Kanye West discourse, the Super Bowl Half-Time Spectacular and more.

ACT ONE (5:24): A fun trip to the pharmacy with Dave.

ACT TWO (8:05): Kanye West makes uncomfortable headlines, hip-hop takes over the Super Bowl, America goes Eurovision, and Jake Gyllenhaal reckons with the Swifties.

ACT THREE (38:04): Big Thief return with 20 new songs for us to devour. They're very much the band of the moment but does Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You live up to both the considerable length and hype?

ACT FOUR (1:01:42): Top 5 Long Albums~!
