Episode 86: Oozing Positivity

Cort reports back on World Party's Goodbye Jumbo, an album he somehow already knew by heart despite being convinced he'd never heard it before. Brian makes the case for Karl Wallinger as one of pop music's great overlooked craftsmen, and the conversation wanders into college radio, movie soundtracks, and whether some albums simply refuse to age. From there: TV recap podcasts, comfort television, the strange appeal of The Big Bang Theory's ever-expanding universe, LeBron's next destination (obviously Memphis), the triumphant return of the missing "E" in the Elvis sign, Fox's purchase of Roku, and why some things are just... oozing positivity.  Brian’s Last Assignment to Cort: Goodbye Jumbo, World Party https://open.spotify.com/album/0NHOAAAuzEglpm88igZi1a?si=ky9Vz4aWS-K_EGFteXaBYw Cort’s Next Assignment to Brian: The Age of the Understatement, The Last Shadow Puppets https://open.spotify.com/album/2y3Rm0cT1xbf2NoTQwKv99?si=u7DCZPL7R-CojeASyerW7g Theme Song: Cyrus Oh Cyrus, The Flying Scrub Jays https://open.spotify.com/track/3S9T5HUS4cwky1922WhF1J?si=6fcad8771f724492
