(Clockwise from upper left) The Dodos, Astronauts Etc., Hamilton Ulmer of Makeunder, Nate Salman of Waterstrider, Idea the Artist.

Cold and despondent on a rainy December afternoon, host Max Savage Levenson sets out to sing the praises of some of his favorite Bay Area tunes of 2015… all by his lonesome self.

But wait! Levenson then receives a messianic visit from one of his lifelong heroes, who glides through his year-end selections with staggering wisdom and profound insight! Listen in as Levenson and co-host Kanye West (appearing as a podcast’s closest approximation of a Tupac hologram) discuss Idea the Artist’s vocal arrangements, the Dodos’ lurching guitars, Waterstrider’s epic vocals and much more on this episode of the podcast.
