Peel slowly and see what we have in store this week-- it's The Velvet Underground And Nico! What happens when experimentalists Lou Reed and John Cale join forces with eccentric pop artist Andy Warhol? Turns out they make one of the most influential and regarded cult classic records of the late '60s. Its raunchy, suggestive, and provocative lyrics kept them off the radio, but won over fans worldwide. We'll talk about their unusual origins and eventual disbanding. The Mixtaper reactivates our arachnophobia, bargains with art, and introduces us to a couple who can't seem to stick together. Run Run Run and check out this episode... we promise you'll still have time for All Tomorrow's parties! Happy Mixtober!!

We'll take the Night Shift this week with Lucy Dacus' 2018 record Historian! This album explores the weighty emotions that come with the human condition, from finding purpose through the act of creating to facing death with courage. The Mixtaper is teaching us how to play with fire, singing to foliage, and shocking us with Fact Or Spin! Take care of you and yours, but me and mine are gonna fight time (even if it wins in a landslide). This is our THIRD episode to feature a solo album from a Boygenius member, so if you've got Addictions too, check out our episodes on Phoebe (105) and Julien (153) and choose your starter Pokemon!!
