Memory Card (aka “Songs We Either Liked or Were Forced to Hear A Lot in High School”) is a year of covers cobbled together from our distant home studios.
We couldn’t play music together in person this year, but we did record a cover each month starting right at the beginning of the pandemic. Some of these were voted in by folks on the internet. Others were demanded by either me or Andrew. Most importantly, all of them are undeniable hits.

Are full of trees and changing leaves.”
I haven’t been using social media, but I’ve taken some pictures throughout quarantine. Here’s a little bit of what the more tolerable moments of the past five months have looked like.
This week I got to catch up with my old friend Pat King and talk about one of my favorite “guilty pleasure” albums, Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone? by Harvey Danger. Pat recently started a newsletter called Not Above It, focusing on overlooked music, film, and television. Read our conversation here!
Jenny O is one of my best friends and favorite people, and also one of the best musicians I’ve ever known. She made a new record called “New Truth” and it’s finally out! I GOTTA RECOMMEND IT.
