#23. Hadestown

There’s a few things you HAVE got to know…Orpheus? Real broke. Just terribly poor. And can we PLEASE get Eurydice some trail mix or something?   Of course, the Deep Cut this week is about the fabulous musical Hadestown. Lilli has two tremendous...

#22. Ranking Brand New Eyes

Well…it’s the ranking for Brand New Eyes. It took a stutter step of weeks to get here, but we made it and it’s kind of a weird one. Just please speak to the tree if you need to speak.   We won’t get into the nitty gritty here. Let’s just have a cool...

#21. All I Wanted/Decode

It’s HOA, HOA, HOA season, y’all! We’re wrapping up our song restrospectives with “All I Wanted” and “Decode” and try to avoid talking about Twilight as much as possible.   That’s right, though…that means you have mere hours (as of this show posting)...

Lilli's Soundsystem

Well…we done did it again. We had to miss recording again. Swear this isn’t normal. But instead of skipping a week, Lilli had some spare time and wanted to try something new. Enter a bonus Soundsystem episode. How crazy is that? Lilli sits down to...

#20. Where the Lines Overlap/Misguided Ghosts

Star Tits…FORWARD! It’s time to talk about “Where the Lines Overlap” and “Misguided Ghosts”. We feel notably better about these two songs, though the confusion about the “oops, we forgot we should be positive” moment persists. But hell, do we love an...

Emergency Broadcast - 9/4/2026

Two things: - We're recording next week's episode on Monday 9/7 instead of our normal day, so if you're the kind of person who waits until episode release to send in a response, you're going to want to get those in by 3:00 PM Pacific on MONDAY...

#19. Feeling Sorry/Looking Up

It’s our first episode since the unfortunate passing of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. We pay them and their legacies respect in the Soundsystem segment, but not before we discuss the songs “Feeling Sorry” and “Looking Up.” We’re not going to call it a...

#18. Turn it Off/The Only Exception

Faith? Who needs it!? Well, it’s complicated! We’re covering “Turn it Off” and “The Only Exception”. Tender songs about love? Check. Extended conversation about childhood religious deconstruction? Check. Gendered revelations about Home Goods? Check....

This is Adam's Fault

I wish he would stop speaking in riddles and just be normal. New episode August 25th. Love you, bye.

#17. Playing God/Brick By Boring Brick

We’re rapidly descending through Brand New Eyes by talking through “Playing God” and “Brick By Boring Brick”. Adam’s disposition is still pretty sunny, so take it in WHILE YOU CAN!   The Show Notes: Listen to Playing God...

#16. Careful/Ignorance

After a surprise week off, we can continue our coverage of Brand New Eyes in earnest with the first two tracks “Careful” and “Ignorance”. We find themes of personal liberation in the face of adversity among the sick riffs and Hayley’s powerful voice....

New Episode NEXT Week

Hey y'all. Life did loop-de-loops this last week, so we weren't able to record an episode. We WILL be recording this week, so the official first analysis episode for Brand New Eyes will be NEXT week on August 4th. As this is releasing, you have a few...

#15. Brand New Eyes (Overview)

Welcome to Season 2 where we’re going over the album “Brand New Eyes” and doing our very best to unpack Adam’s extremely weird Paramore psychosis. We may not have a handle on our schedule, but we’re certainly still here doing our absolute best…even...

#14. Kinky Boots

Season 1 is over, so it’s time for our first *post season* Deep Cut! This week, we’re joined by THE Lil’ Bitch Eliot Holmes to cover the long promised Kinky Boots. What started as a tangential connection to Brendon BOYD Urie turned into the perfect...

#13. Ranking The Black Parade

If you can even believe it, that’s a wrap on the very first season of Sad Kid’s Record Society, Fake Sinners. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a season without a ranking! We’re putting things in places you haven’t even considered…or…well…uh. Don’t read...

#12. Famous Last Words

We’re tackling “Famous Last Words” and the hidden track “Blood” this week en route to the end of season 1. That’s right, it’s the last song episode before the ranking and we are not ready. We take some time to think about a new perspective on some...

#11. Teenagers/Disenchanted

Happy Pride to the Theys, Gays, and All the Other Ways! We’re in the middle of it, but we recorded this at the beginning of it (one of these days, we’ll remember to do it the last recording of May, but it sure as hell isn’t 2026). Hopefully you like...

#10. Sleep

If Adam can stop doxxing the children that live in his town for one solitary second, we might be able to start talking about “Sleep,” a song that feels like it should be the closer…but isn’t. It’s a song that feels opressive, dark, unpleasant, and...
