S01 E15: Hudson Hales

We're coming to the end of round 1 of The Malkmus Conundrum and things are getting so hectic, Mark is now making up the names of Jicks songs from scratch. In a rare moment of sincerity, the three presenters actually manage to be nice to each other for most of this episode as they discuss eight more lovely tunes. It's a Real Emotional Trash-heavy episode with some genuinely thoughtful critiques. It won't last. This episode's matchups are: Real Emotional Trash vs Craw Song // Dragonfly Pie vs Shake It Around // Post Paint Boy vs Phantasies // Houston Hades vs Out of Reaches. Made with love for SM + Jicks.
