Rate or Hate - Ep. 001: The National vs. Smashing Pumpkins

On the debut episode of the Talking Music! Podcast, nostalgia is in full bloom. For Josh, The National's 'High Violet' is a dark magnum opus rich with angst - a Godsend during his moody teenage years. And for Connor, Smashing Pumpkin's double album 'Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' is a cathartic experience in both beauty and anger. Until now, they had only listened to their respective albums. But Josh making Connor listen to 'High Violet', and Connor is making Josh listen to 'Melon Collie'. An indie rock gloom-fest versus a two-hour grunge epic... Will the guys RATE their albums or will they HATE them?
