BORP 43: Metro Area/ Dredd/ Modern Times & Deep Cove Brewing

Hello Friends and welcome to EP 43 of BORP. Our show has settled comfortably into middle age by now. We are no longer sure of what is hip in music anymore or even what day it is really, although that may be quarantine related. Lots to cover in this episode, including why exactly Mickey has a case of Caribous in his fridge. Elsewhere, Tristan has let his hair grow out and let's just say its a good thing you can't see what it looks like. As we try out some beers (7:00) we learn where Modern Times Brewery gets it's name from and a selection from Deep Cove Brewing segues into learning about which countries produce the most beer hops. For our album pick (29:00) we listened to the early 2000s indie dance, disco electronica debut album from Metro Area. We spend some time discussing how their pioneering efforts helped pave the way for underground dance music as know it today. For our film pick (1:32:56) we watched, not Judge Dredd, but the 2012 reboot Dredd, in all of its brutally efficient glory. In the discussion, Tristan accidentally admits to enjoying the original 1995 version and almost gets himself fired from the show, again. For New and Noteworthy (2:25:20) we check out new music from Deeper, Half Waif, Ariane Roy, and Nicolas Jaar.  For Three questions for Tristan (2:50:27) we somehow end up extolling the virtues of a tire swing, but you'll have to listen to find out why. Find the show on Spotify, iTunes or right here. You can also find all of the tracks we discuss on our EP43 playlist on Spotify or Apple Music. Thanks for listening mates!
