Rise like Bane, friend-o. After the break, you'll find a new little thing--a podcast about music, with TFO's own Marty Brown and Pitchfork's MOC, Nate Patrin. It's not for iTunes, it's just for you. Well, it's also for this guy.
Here's how you hear it, broheim:
TFO Gets A Little Flavor In Your Ear
0:00:00 – 0:03:20 Oh hey there, it’s the first ever The Factual Opinion music podcast featuring your hosts Nate Patrin and Marty Brown, along with special guest, the czar of The Factual Opinion, Tucker Stone! Please enjoy some banter.
0:03:20 – 0:18:45 Drake Featuring Drake released a mixtape called If You Can Read This It’s Too Late, and we talk about our varying levels of enthusiasm for this dude’s career thus far, attempting to answer age-old questions like “Why is this guy so popular?”
0:18:45 – 0:33:25 We start to do a little Heat Check on the genre of R&B, discussing the polarizing supergroup Future Brown, and attempting to pronounce Nguzunguzu.
0:33:25 - 0:47:37 Before professing our love for Dawn Richard’s recent Blackheart, we dive into Diddy-Dirty Money’s Last Train to Paris album from 2010. Then, we wrap up our R&B Heat Check with a look at Jazmine Sullivan’s Reality Show.
0:47:37 – 0:56:45 Marty and Tucker hop into Patrin’s personal wayback machine to travel through some of Nate’s Dope Archival Shit, beginning with Hall & Oates’ 1974 album made with Todd Rundgren at the helm, War Babies.
0:56:45 – 1:06:29 Next up on our parade through Nate’s Dope Archival Shit is KRS-One’s Return of the Boom-Bap, from 1993.
1:06:29 – 1:13:50 We close out the Nate’s Dope Archival Shit section of the podcast with a delightful look at a live album Say It Live and Loud: Live in Dallas 08.26.68 by the god James Brown.
1:13:50 – 1:31:30 By special request of the kingfish of The Factual Opinion podcast empire, Tucker Stone, we take a stroll through young Kanye West’s discography, identifying songs that need videos and despicting what those videos could be.
1:31:30 – 1:33:43 It’s a wrap! Shout-outs, plugs, thank yous. If you have any feedback you’d like to give us OR have any ideas for a name for the podcast, holler at us in the comments or at [email protected]
Here's a Spotify playlist, curated by the team, for your sweet pleasures.
Awesome podcast guys, looking forward to hearing more of it. Reminds me I need to actually go get hold of Blackheart, too. On the subject of Daryl Hall, by the way, if you guys enjoyed War Babies I highly suggest seeking out his first solo album Sacred Songs, which is the third in a trilogy, of sorts, of albums Robert Fripp produced and played on in the early 80s (along with Peter Gabriel's second solo effort and Fripp's own Exposure, the former pretty good but a mixed bag and the latter amazing) and arguably the most extreme of all three. Hall's always had a weird streak to him despite H&O's reputation for yacht-pop.

Hey thanks! Will definitely track down Sacred Songs at some point, and yes, Blackheart is absolutely worth your time!
