Summary: Subscribe on iTunes<br> <br> The eighth episode of The Modern Vinyl Podcast is a dandy, as we talk about the new album from Say Anything, Hebrews. James Cassar and Modern Vinyl contributor Michael Escanuelas join me in the roundtable, as we discuss if the "no guitar" experiment works, where Max Bemis is at in his songwriting career and if it was really necessary to yell swastika so many times. Stick around for the first edition of "Top of The Top 5," which has us listing off our favorite Say Anything songs (vote below); for some talk on the Blink 182 splatter series; and for when we dig into the Reader Mailbox.<br> <br> We did have some sound issues this time around and I apologize for that. We're gonna really work on eliminating that background noise next time around, while some Skype "beeps" and "boops" get in there toward the end. Again, apologies.<br> <br> Timeline:<br> 3:12, What Have We Been Listening To?<br> 8:32 — 11:31, Three Man Cannon — Patiently<br> 11:32 — 35:35, Roundtable Discussion on Hebrews<br> 35:36 — 37:36, The Weaks — How To Put An Audience To Sleep In Under Two Minutes<br> 38:05, Top of The Top 5 (Say Anything Songs)<br> 46:00, News Roundup<br> 48:00, Random Pull<br> 51:10, Reader Mailbox<br> 58:25, Ma Jolie — Cannonball<br> <br> Top of The Top 5<br> Who picked out the best Top 5 list of Say Anything songs?
