This week, it’s a very special Bachie Bonus episode, in which we launch into the Extended Universe of The Bachelor, starting with Aimee Mann’s 1999 album ‘Bachelor No. 2 or, the Last Remains of the Dodo’. We’re joined by Spencer Fox from the fantastic Brooklyn band Charly Bliss to share the story behind the album, and how it reflects (and arguably how it sparked) a turning point for the music industry - as well as what it means to try and write a hit. We contextualise the album within Mann’s career, plus Max tells us about the film Magnolia (which he has definitely seen), and we… somehow end up talking about Jimmy Buffett.

Study Guide Shabbat 99 Today's daf is sponsored in honor of Judy Berman to celebrate her birthday. Your dedication to the daf is inspiring and we love you so much. Love, your children. And in memory of David Meir Shavit ben Shlomo Lipa z"l by his children who have joined the daf yomi learning, whose yahrzeit is on Shabbat.   In what way was the covering of the Tabernacle made of goat hairs more unique than the one made of colorful threads? What were the exact dimensions of the wagons that carried the beams and the space in between? The banks of a pit or a rock that is 4x4 and 10 handbreaths tall is a private domain and one is obligated for placing an item on top of it. Several questions are asked regarding placing items from a public domain or a pillar or wall in the public space that is tel handbreaths tall - doesn't it past through an exempt place (above 10 in the public space) before getting there - so maybe one should not be obligated. What if it was a wall that wasn't 4x4 wide and first functions as a wall of a carmelit and then became a wall of a private space - is the wall considered a private domain? What is the creation of the private space happens at the same time as one is moving something from it to the public space?

Everything is political, folks -- even the writer/director/star of THE ROOM (2003). Luke and Will re-examine one of their shared passions by watching THE NEIGHBORS -- Mr. Wiseau's little-loved follow-up to his generation-defining "so-bad-it's-good" hit -- and consider the politics of cult cinema and vanity projects.

Let's go back 20 years to a fascinating time in music history. In 1998, the internet had not yet become the hub of how we listen to music — Napster was still one year away from taking over college campuses, and listeners were still required to fork over $18 for a CD to hear that one Barenaked Ladies song they heard on the radio. And yet 1998 was in many ways the beginning of what music would become in the 21st century. Alternative rock and gangsta rap, which had dominated youth culture just a few years prior, were basically over, paving the way for a new generation of artists. To help me revisit 1998, I called up Judy Berman, a fine critic who has written for the New York Times, Pitchfork, The Atlantic, and many other publications. We talked about our personal favorites, our "most 1998" albums, and the one 1998 classic that I feel is kind of sort of overrated.
