In Part 2 of Episode 192, we discuss the allegations surrounding Brand New and those others under the spotlight of sexual abuse and assault within the entertainment industry. It was a tough conversation, but one we felt was needed, especially given our attention paid to Brand New in recent months (on top of just caring about this music scene). Here is a reading list of articles discussed on the pod and those released after that are worth your time.

On the newest episode of The Modern Vinyl Podcast, the hosts debate and dissect Rolling Stone's recent "50 Greatest Pop-Punk Albums" list. The conversation is split into categories, such as "Most Underrated," "Most Overrated," and "Right Band, Wrong Album." Writer/Podcaster Jacob Tender (Bantha Fodder) joins.

Join the community: patreon.com/modernvinyl In honor of Black Friday 2017, we've got an episode from fellow MV family podcast The Vinyl Crawl. Their standard formula of "1 album, 1 beer," is adjusted a bit for the vinyl-lovers holiday, as they break down the list and discuss releases like the "Game of Thrones" picture disc, the Sonny Rollins "on Impulse!" release, plus material from Bill Hicks, Dave Matthews, Rush, Eric Church and more. And beer lovers, don't worry. Alan and Matt still find time to discuss a Salem-brewed cider at the beginning of the episode. Matt owns, and Alan works at, Mellow Matt's Music and More in Bowling Green, Kentucky if you want to stop by. Want to sponsor the podcast?

Join the community: patreon.com/modernvinyl To conclude their Revisiting The Smiths series, Chris, Mike and James talk the band's final full length, "Strangeways, Here We Come." Between the music industry bashing of "Paint A Vulgar Picture," the breakup writing-on-the-wall of "I Won't Share You" and the bizarre "Girlfriend In A Coma," there's plenty to discuss. We end with some "Pick Your Poison," debating the two Smiths tracks designated as "the worst." Note: We did record a segment on the developments regarding Brand New, but it was early in the news and much occurred after our recording. We decided to table it until the next episode.

Only time will tell if the podcast falls apart completely. But first, before we trek into the unknown, we had to review "Science Fiction." We had to see if the wait was truly worth it. And of course we did it in typical Modern Vinyl fashion. Carve out some time for this one. Want to sponsor the podcast?
