It’s a Christmas miracle! Jon and Eric are back to celebrate the holiday season with a record that is decidedly un-Christmasy. This episode, they talk about Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers’ album Strange Desire. As Eric (and probably others) put it, it’s Jack’s love letter to the John Hughes movies of the 1980’s. Synths, electronic drums, and vocal effects galore! Plus, a whole slew of catchy tunes.
