If you're following along, listening to these albums at home, keep your kids away from this one. It's rather... risque. Pearl clutching aside, Doja Cat has put together a pretty entertaining pop album underneath all of the NSFW content. If you haven't already, please follow us on Instagram @brothersinsong and share the show with a friend.

Ok. This seems like an obvious one. If you think we definitely should've heard this album by now, we're not going to argue with you. Be that as it may, we've corrected this oversight. But can anyone explain the beef that Paul Simon seems to have with Bob Dylan??

On this episode we are joined by our old friend from our hometown, Greg Massi. Greg is a guitar player, composer, and podcaster who plays in multiple bands and just got back from a European tour. We talk about staying motivated to be creative amidst having to do all the things needed to maintain a "regular life." Whatever that means... We also talk with Greg about some underrated acoustic guitar gems. It was extremely fun reconnecting with an old friend. Please check out the links below to see all the cool stuff that Greg is doing and listen to the songs we discussed on the show. Thanks for listening friends!
