Things Take Time, Take Time Courtney Barnett

Courtney Barnett Things Take Time, Take Time

Jim and Greg review past Sound Opinions guest Courtney Barnett's third studio album Things Take Time, Take Time. Barnett had previously moved in an alternative rock direction, but this album sees her returning to her singer-songwriter roots.

Crawler IDLES

IDLES CRAWLER

The hosts review the fourth album from UK post-punks, IDLES, Crawler. Lead singer Joe Talbot was a recent guest on Sound Opinions. With Crawler the band is moving past the “bumper sticker” choruses that originally drew people to them and turning more introspective, prompting comparisons to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Songs About Giving Thanks

thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Jim and Greg are sharing their favorite songs about giving thanks. From ‘90s mega-hits to ‘60s cast-offs, they’re digging deep to offer a suitable soundtrack to the holiday.

Dear Listeners,

For more than 15 years, Sound Opinions was a production of WBEZ, Chicago's public radio station. Now that the show is independent, we're inviting you to join the band and lend a hand! We need your support more than ever because now we have to do all the behind-the-scenes work that WBEZ handled before (like buying insurance and paying for podcast hosting, ugh). Plus, we have some exciting ideas we'd like to try now that there's no one to tell us no!
