Brother Brother Brother
Summary: Brother Brother Brother is what happens when three brothers born in three different decades come together over a shared obsession with music. It's an in-depth conversation between Wyndham Lewis, Jeremy Sartori, and Christian Lewis, born in the late 60's, 70's, and 80's, that's been a lifetime in the making. Reporting in from LA, Boston, and Brooklyn, the Brothers now open the conversation to you, and in the process likely prove Craig Finn's assertion that "everyone's a critic and most people are DJs."

In this episode the elder brothers, Wyndham and Jeremy, discuss their ultimate weakness: power pop. It’s the guitar songs with the catchy hooks and the crisp melodies you can’t help but sing (or scream) along to. The songs that make you wonder, “why wasn’t this a hit?” We discuss how this subgenre came to be, the songs and artists that best exemplify it, and who’s carrying the power pop torch into the future, in a conversation that spans The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Cars, Guided by Voices, and everything in between.

Just in time for Inauguration Day, Wyndham and Christian bring you a collection of songs, albums, and artists that all say one thing: fuck you. Fuck you friend. Fuck you boyfriend. Fuck you girlfriend, spouse, record label, bandmate, or just an all-encompassing fuck you to no one in particular. With middle fingers raised, we’re discussing some of the best and most vile F.U. tracks from Bob Dylan, Fear, The Walkmen, Shellac, Ice Cube, and many more. Whether you’re raging in the streets or just giving a heartfelt “fuck you” from home, check out our accompanying Spotify playlist of FU Songs at: https://open.spotify.com/user/thebrotherpod/playlist/4WzVIL3fznHYLBgwfo0fZK
In this episode, we’re making a podcast tribute to the radio, through three lifetimes that span AM, FM, MTV, college radio, mp3-sharing, Napster, Limewire, Apple, Pandora, and Spotify. We discuss what the “radio” meant to us growing up, what it means today, and whether or not our musical expertise is being outsourced by algorithms. You won’t find us on a radio station, but if you want to listen to some of our favorite radio-themed songs, check out this episode’s custom Spotify playlist at: https://open.spotify.com/user/thebrotherpod/playlist/6cmeRpeMOs9Iopia84WZZ0
The air is cold. The sky is gray. The trees are bare. It’s winter. And it deserves a soundtrack. In this episode, Wyndham and Christian discuss winter songs: songs about winter and songs that are bleak enough to make you feel like winter, from the sludgy rock of Led Zeppelin and The Sword to the bare, sparse melodies of Elliott Smith. If you need a soundtrack for shoveling, scraping, or hibernating from the cold, check out our Winter Songs playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/thebrotherpod/playlist/3e8kjNJ2lF6TebSAQvTUPe
For music fans, 2016 was a rough year, one that robbed us of more talent than it left us. In this episode, Wyndham, Jeremy, and Christian bid a not-so-fond farewell to 2016 by discussing the music legends we lost this year, from David Bowie, to Prince, to George Martin, to the recently-deceased George Michael. Then, we set our sights on the year ahead with an early review of the new album from Run the Jewels, a discussion of some of the new albums we're excited about in 2017, and a sneak peak at some of the Brother Brother Brother podcast segments you can expect in the new year.

Wyndham and Luke O’Neil (of Esquire’s “20 Worst Christmas Songs Ever Written”) discuss the worst Christmas songs ever recorded.
