The Toy Department – Episode 130
In Episode 130, Derek Madden and Matt Kolsky are a day late thanks to Kolsky suffering from a nasty cold, but still manage to get through:
- Nicki Minaj’s new album Queen (4:15) and how its lack of focus and extended length take a little away from its high points…
- Mitski’s new album Be The Cowboy (12:35) and how remarkable precision within an eclectic approach makes it a triumph…
- USA’s show The Sinner (19:10) and whether Season 2 has sucked the guys in yet…
- Stories from the life of Derek Madden including his new dog (27:55) and seeing a couple of old bands in concert – specifically Pearl Jam (32:10) and Smashing Pumpkins (37:00)…
- Some quick thoughts about the Oakland A’s (43:40) and the state of baseball in general…
- Homework for next week (47:50), including: Travis Scott’s album ASTROWORLD, an episode or two of AMC’s new show Lodge 49 and the season finalé of Sharp Objects on HBO, plus Madden is seeing Hamilton and will report back…
