Deci’s Midnight Runners #2: Shoegaze and Scorsese Oscars

We’re 20 episodes in! Which is exciting, and also means it’s time for another bonus episode. Our cups runneth over with takes and Deci’s Midnight Runners is our chance to dig further into something that piqued our interest from the ten prior episodes.

Matt bends the broad arc of Shoegaze history to give some more shine to a genre and artists he genuinely thinks most people would love. Listen in for more on Catherine Wheel, Alcest, Nothing, Greet Death, and Hum, and to hear which Matt describes as “Pearl Jam in a wind tunnel.”

Tim has a lot of problems with you people (read: the Oscars) and you’re going to hear about them. He gives us a highly scientific ranking of which Scorsese films have been the most screwed by the Academy, which is a pretty high bar.
