P4K's 2021
Happy New Year! The guys took an unconventional turn for their year-end episode and discussed someone else's top 5 of 2021 (in this case it was @Pitchfork). They ask questions like, "What kind of stripper would dance to Floating Points?" and ponder why P4k writers use terms like musique concrète.
Also, new music from @musicbycivic, @200StabWounds, and @anniekeating.music! -

Customer Reviews
You need more music in your life
Listen to this. As a man in his thirties, I don’t always know where to go for new tunes. Luckily this podcast has incredibly knowledgeable hosts who will guide you down the groove train to both the familiar and unknown. I’ve discovered so much wonderful music thanks to this pod. Check it!
A great podcast for the apocalypse.
I’ve been sheltering in place for *weeks* now with one of the hosts of The Ringing Ear (as well as three children). It is a rare thing for me to have a moment to myself. Yet, whenever I do, the first thing I listen to is the latest episode of The Ear. If that isn’t a glowing recommendation, I don’t know what is.
Conversations about music are the absolute best
Jeff and Jobe, two former record store clerks, release fun conversations about a variety of musical topics, providing listeners with their top 3 tunes related to those subjects. They never claim to be experts, and the songs selections are subjective. I love that they encourage listeners to engage with the podcast by posting conversation starters on their social media accounts. Top notch music chats!
