Happy Thanksgiving, Rhapsody Fam! This week we’re thankful for the music of Andrew McMahon. Adrienne and Katarina discuss how full of life his work is, no matter what project he’s currently operating under - whether it's Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, or Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, and how amazing it is when an artist can take emotions you didn’t even know you possessed and bring them to the surface. Join them as they talk about his latest record Upside Down Flowers, the beauty of art, life, and the work of a truly inspirational musician this week. (That is, if the turkey hasn’t put you into a food coma yet).

Part 2 of our take on Emo/Scene music is finally here in celebration of Punktober! Adrienne and Katarina take on the genre at full force, dissecting the hits of the early 00s from artists like Taking Back Sunday and Paramore that shaped a generation. They laugh, they sigh, they struggle to set clear definitions for what emo music truly is. Do they succeed? Do they care? Probably not. They aren’t professionals.

So come laugh, come jam, come relive the highs and lows of the early 00s scene, and discover what Emo means to you.
