This week, Craig and Kevin start things off with the Schizophrenic Shuffle — their ongoing audio roulette where five randomly shuffled tracks are shared, digested, and categorized into three distinctive reactions:

🎧 Highlight – The song that stood tall
🪞 Reminder – A blast from the past
🚪 New Introduction – A welcome musical stranger

Then it’s time to zoom in on 2024, the most recent year they’ve tackled to date. Each host brings a still-under-the-radar album from the past year that’s worth revisiting (or discovering for the first time). With so much music released weekly, these selections aim to cut through the noise and spotlight what might’ve been missed.

Finally, they close things out with a round of Either/Or — ten head-to-head musical face-offs where Craig and Kevin make impossible choices with no room for hedging — and then…

🎨 Album Cover Challenge: Craig throws Kevin a visual curveball, asking him to pick between a series of iconic (or delightfully obscure) album covers, purely based on art and instinct.
