What’s up, everybody? The Punks and Recs Podcast is back and shaking off the rust after a brief summer vacation with our Midyear Roundup episode. Tom and Mick talk about how Run the Jewels 3 and DAMN. have stayed in heavy rotation (2:00), along with some other records in their Top-5s including the newest albums from Remo Drive, Oso Oso, Pet Symmetry, BROCKHAMPTON, Joey Bada$$, and Bleachers (06:35). They give some honorable mentions to the projects that came out during their summer hiatus like Melodrama and Big Fish Theory, and talk about the best TV shows on the air in 2017 (34:30). This episode closes out with some movie talk (42:25) and a list of films these bozos still haven’t gotten out to the theater to see (55:50). Music as always is by Jon Altino. You can find his link at the bottom, along with all of the places you can find the Punks and Recs Podcast. Hit us up on Twitter with some of your own Recs or just to chat music and pop culture.
