So buckle up as the hosts discuss what makes this album one of the best pieces of auditory art ever produced by human hands, and voices, and... you know what I'm saying?No playlist this week, instead check out The New Pornographers - Twin CinemaSupport the Podcast at : Buy Me A Coffee@MARVpodcast on Twittermusicatatrationvolume profile on Spotify for episode playlists based on topics discussed
