Post-40D What You Like Disorder

Songs played: * Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles * L’Amour Looks Something Like You by Kate Bush * Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance * Matilda by Harry Styles

Sisyphus: Mildly Disgruntled

Elijah Nepomuceno (he/him) and Sam deal with seasonal allergies, mispronounce things, give shoutouts, compliment names, reference prior episodes, explain music theory concepts, jokingly advocate for major ethical violations, exist as vibes people, vocode, explore registral extremes, compliment Sam, philosophize and contemplate, and don't yearn (not necessarily both of them) (not necessarily in that order). Overall, a good time. Songs played: * 715 - CRΣΣKS by Bon Iver * Summer, Highland Falls (Live at the Bayou, Washington D.C.) by Billy Joel * I Don’t Wanna Grow Up by Hayes Carll * Grass Stains by Lowertown
