- They Have a Pepper Bar
Life, uh, gets in the way. We're back and we're talking Mackling Less with Macklemore, Nice as F*ck reunion, Pilgrimage Fest, Lambrini Girls. We dabble in the sandwich arts, discuss nice artists that make mid music, and find out Jenn hasn't heard the term "cheeks" used to negatively describe something! Sit on down and let's all live for this.

1h 2m - Sep 26, 2026 - PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD
We're back, it's our show, we do as we deem fit. Life is hard and we're learning how to be harder, it just takes some time.
Today we have Dolly, Kacey Musgrave's touring clackers, Sir Elton in South America, Tame Impala stepping away from autographs, Miley..., P!nk being a mean girl, and the passing of Andy Williams of Every Time I Die and of pro wrestling. There's probably a good way to phrase that.

1h 0m - Sep 11, 2026 - Limp through This
Another humbling week finds us back with a new episode. We talk about litigious Demon Hunters, a "10 Things I Hate About You" Musical, RIP Columbia House, the new trailer for the Oasis documentary, Camp Flog Gnaw, and AC/DC and Foo Fighters at the Dome At America's Center. We sift through a rough week, pretend we have a Time Machine to go to concerts, food, and childhood memories.

CORRECTION: Paul made an extremely errant observation when running through the concert calendar. Not Waving But Drowning is an active band from St. Louis and has been since 1998 and Paul naively assumed them to be a newer artist (high probability that he saw their name back on STLPunk and figured it was some Myspace scene emo. Very wrong, apologies to the band.
1h 5m - Aug 22, 2026 - Just Be Whimsical, Don't Force the Whimsy, B*tch
We get knocked down and we get back up again. The only way through is forward and after another undesirable week off, we return refreshed with news and goofs. Let's go!
55m - Aug 16, 2026 - Crawling out of the crap
We're back, sorry about that, cyclospora isn't one to be trifled with. We got news, new music, we talk misheard lyrics, songs made just for a movie, and abrasive albums!

We're back and you people are still crapping your pants. Listen man, you aren't the only dude psyched for the gig, maybe cool it a little bit, you're being a little weirdo with those Olivia Rodrigo branded adult diapers. Now quiet, Lee Greenwood is about to start.

1h 6m - May 29, 2026 - You Don't Owe Me Nothing
Hey welcome back. We have high art, we have high drama, we have fire alarms... we have five alarm fires, thanks Spotify.
We ask each other if musicians and musical artists are obligated to make art that has "meaning," how to kill a room, and what we're listening to!

54m - May 22, 2026 - C's Get Pedigrees
We're back. We touch on some news, like an impending Weird Al musical, Bring Me the Horizon getting brained, Duran Duran confusing the year, gatekeeping, but the big one?
We decided we wanted our swing at The New York Times editorial board that decided who the top 30 America's Greatest Living American Songwriters allegedly are. We talked about all 30 and like cool modern folks, we made a Tier list.
As always, a blast and feel free to hit us up on the socials

1h 35m - May 15, 2026 - Struggling With Accountability
Another one.
Talking about tour cancellations, lack of accountability, MIA going MIA, Steven Tyler having to account for being an abomination, then we open it up a little. We talk music an awful lot on here and there are other things we live for, but not much more. We peel back the curtain and expose ourselves for the movie novices we are, fictional characters we relate to, album openers we love, and reliving a moment.
Buddy, don't forget we have social media. We're like, not really great at it, but it's there!
And as always, email us at liveforthispod@gmail.com
1h 11m - May 8, 2026 - Paid for by Big Burger
It's good to be back! We have a fun one for you guys! Trent Reznor thinks today's music culture sucks, Post Malone and Jelly Roll cancel tour dates, Brady Ebert keeps catching charges, and we look at multiple facets that go into what makes a live music experience the magic that it is.

56m - May 2, 2026 - A Little Less Vindication, A Little More Hype
Back at it. We recap RSD 26, weekend two of Coachella, talk Kim Petras, new Beck and tour, new Modest Mouse and tour. Jenn talks about authenticity in art.
This week Paul and Jenn listened to an album recommended by the other. Stipulation is, of course, that it has to be new to the listener. Jenn gave an honest take on the Stone Roses's self titled debut where Paul had to generate thoughts on Heart's debut, Dreamboat Annie.

56m - Apr 24, 2026 - I Want You To Put The Word Out There That We Back Up
Understand me? We back up.
We had a rough month and a half since our last episode. It's always something, ain't it? We got your annual Record Store Day update with a little wishlist Paul's got going, what we saw and didn't see in Coachella weekend 1, what we want in weekend 2, the TurnstileMZ experience, MORE Converge(!?!?!), and our somber tribute to beloved musician and podcast trailblazer Bo Lueders.
We talk about five songs that you wouldn't expect us to like as people and make a little ol' tier list out of them. Guilty pleasure music doesn't exist and we're excited to show a different side of ourselves.

1h 23m - Apr 17, 2026 - Cosmic Glue Holding This Whole Thing Together
Back into the swing of it, folks. 2026 is in full effect and it's goofy as hell.
This week we talk Zombie Warped Tour, Record Store Day's 2026 Ambassador, Hayley Williams again, and that wily old man Bruce Springsteen showing up with Tom Morello in the Twin Cities. We discuss why you don't meet your heroes, we put on our tinfoil hats for the conspiracy of 2016 being the year the universe broke, talk protest music, and songs that should have been massive!

1h 11m - Feb 1, 2026 - The Best of 2025 vol. 2: Thank God That's Over
Happy Hellworld, everybody! 2025 is over but we can't return 2026 to the store, unfortunately.
We briefly touch on a couple of music news bits that interested us before delving into the meat of the program: our top 5 records of 2025. We hope that if you haven't taken the time to listen to the music we've recommended thus far to give it a try. There have been some truly amazing pieces of music that came out in 2025 and even though the world is in flames, music works as a salve.
If you have a bone to pick with us for something, surprise!
