We Both Podcast Together

Pete and Matt are joined by fan favorite (probably) guest Mason Redmon to talk about The Decemberists two Christmas songs, Decemberists side project Black Prairie, Canadian Sitcoms, Canadian crooners that hate Jesus, Alan Jackson, Creed, Die Hard, and, of course, 9/11. This is a wild one folks, truly a magical Christmas Journey. Happy Holidays! See you in 2021!

This week the boys are taking a listen to Colin's band when he was in college: Tarkio. The lads are joined by Justin Spaeth, who still reads a lot of books you guys, he's very smart. Also discussed: Mormons, Catholics, The Irish, and at some point Matt conflates two Sean Connery (RIP) movies titles and confuses it for a non-Sean movie {(Highlander + Outland) - Sean Connery = Outlander}.

It's Halloween! (or close enough), and the lads get spooky talking about a collection of Decemberists tracks that only appear on various compilations/charity albums/soundtracks. Also discussed: ghosts, the election, and, weirdly, Saturday Night Live for an unusual amount of time considering both Pete and Matt claim not to watch it. It's a horrifyingly good episode! PS: Stick around till the very end for an extra dose of fright!

Pete and Matt bring the first season of We Both Podcast Together to a close by ranking all of the Decemberists' albums and picking their favorite tracks. They also spend a lot of time talking about fast food burgers and Matt's incredibly logical and well thought out reason for hating dog owners.

On this episodes, Matt and Pete discuss The Decemberists most recent release to date; the EP Traveling on. Despite Matt's clear lack of enthusiasm for the album, a good time is had by all... or is it? You'll just have to listen to find out!

In this episode, Matt and Pete are joined by former guest and occasional fan of the show, Kaylen Wissinger, to talk about "I'll Be Your Girl", the most recent studio album by The Decemberists. Also discussed; Sam Richardson, unverified Wikipedia entries, and what better podcasts Kaylen listens to instead of this one. It's a real boner,* folks! *This will make more sense after you listen to the episode.

The Rake and the Roustabout are at it again! In this mini-episode, Matt and Pete talk about the post "What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World" EP, "Florasongs". Also in this episode, Pete tries to shame Matt for not liking Broken Social Scene enough and Matt refuses to believe "Riverswim" exists.

This week, Matt and Pete are joined by Mason Redmon, a casual Decemberists fan who came into his fandom relatively recently. Together they discuss "What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World", time travel, "True Detective", and lot of other things that really help us earn our explicit tag this week. This one's a doozy folks.

This week the boys are joined by returning guest, and current We Both Podcast Together beard champion, Justin Spaeth to talk about a couple of release; Long Live the King, the companion EP to The King is Dead, and We All Raise our Voices to the Air, The Decemberists only live album. Also discussed; Presidents that may or may not have their faces on mountains (and that may or may not be presidents), The American Pie series, and whether live albums are worth listening to. Enjoy!

Matt and Pete talk about The Decemberists' best-selling, grammy award nominated, crowd-pleaser of an Album, "The King is Dead". This week they are joined this week by AJ Ward, perhaps better known as folk-rock artist Sleeping Cranes, who has the misfortune of having to defend this more casual Decemberists album against two Decemby fanboys who are butt-hurt that there aren't more songs about pirates on the record.

Matt and Pete are joined by none other than Steve Wissinger, our first repeat guest, to discuss The Decemberists' 2009 masterpiece*, "The Hazards of Love." Also discussed, if Shakespeare sucks**, if wind chimes are lame***, and what kind of magical powers faun/boys have. Strap on your favorite podcast listening device, and get ready to be whisked away to the magical world of "The Hazards of Love." * according to Matt ** he does, according to Matt *** they aren't, according to Matt. Because of the comedy rule of threes, you were probably expecting this to be a joke. It wasn't, but this is; What did the shovel say to the pole with twigs attached to it after it murdered three of its children? What are you, some kind of Rake? The episode is much better than this joke.

This week, Matt and Pete discuss the bevy of bonus tracks that came with The Crane Wife, and the EP series that The Decemberists put out between TCW* and The Hazards of Love. *Note: Neither Matt nor Pete endorse calling The Crane Wife TCW, it's harder to say and has more syllables. It's a terrible abbrevaitio. (That's not a typo, that's a shorter version of abbreviation you can all use if you want to save some time. You're welcome.)

This one's a doozy, folks. This week the boys are joined by someone who is unquestionably their coolest guest. Former Indie Teen Music Reporter, Future Celebrity Chef, and Current Small Business Mogul, Kaylen Wissinger comes on and talks about the three "D's"; the Decembies, Dinosaurs and Da Crane Wife. This one is not to be missed!

This week, Matt and Pete talk about Picaresqueties, the companion EP to Picaresque. They also wrap up the Decemberists "indie" years by ranking their top five Decemberists songs from the pre -major label days. Does "Cocoon" make either of their lists? You'll have to listen to find out!

In this episode, Matt and Pete are joined by their friend Justin Spaeth to discuss The Decemberists' third studio album, "Picaresque". Also discussed; Cassette Adapters, Matt's passive aggressive trivia night questions, and the terrible burden of Justin Spaeth's intelligence.

This week the boys take on two EP's: Billy Liar, the companion EP to "Her Majesty The Decemberists" and The Tain, a mini rock opera loosely based on a famous Irish myth. Pete schools Matt on some medieval Irish history. Matt struggles to understand an economy wherein wealth is determined by the relative awesomeness of one's cows. A good time is had by all.

This week Matt and Pete tackle The Decemberists' second studio album, "Her Majesty The Decemberists". Pete educates Matt about life expectancy statistics. Matt educates Pete about sea shanties. Their friendship grows even stronger as a result.

Matt and Pete are joined this week by Steve Wissinger, a fellow appreciator of The Decemberists catalogue and Pete's long-time twin brother. In this episode they discuss "Castaways and Cutouts", The Decemberists' first full length album, and spend a lot of time talking about Neutral Milk Hotel, while complaining about how much people talked about Neutral Milk Hotel when talking about The Decemberists.

Matt and Pete begin their journey through the oeuvre of The Decemberists with an analysis of their first EP, Five Songs. Also, Matt learns a little something about Gypsies.

Matt and Pete try to come up with a name for this podcast. They also discuss what the show is (an Album by Album, Track by Track, evaluation of the band The Decemberists) and why they're doing it (???).
