Episode 063: Look, we know it’s already 2026. But at Six Picks, we’ve never been much for those rushed December rankings, so we’re sticking to the tradition of letting the music actually breathe before we judge it. Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave as they look back at the 2025 tracks that haven’t left their heads yet, featuring a deep dive into the raw energy of Die Spitz, the bizarro folk-metal collision of AVVT PTTN, and the ever-reliable Laura Jane Grace. The conversation also meanders through the recent output of Big Thief, Wet Leg, and Nerdlinger, before the guys shift gears to figure out exactly what is going on with a strange new breed of veterinarian working up in Canada. This is the definitive 2025 post-mortem you didn't know you needed, delivered with the usual chaos and a blatant disregard for the calendar.

Episode 062: We’re kicking off Season Three with a "triple-shot" treat that’s bound to leave you satisfied! This week, the guys are exploring the tightest chemistry in music by diving deep into ménage à trois anthems and the hardest-working three-piece bands in the business. We’re digging into the sheets of the tracklist to see who’s really getting down together, featuring enough members to keep everyone happy from Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Joyce Manor, Rick James, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beck, and The Lonely Island. Between the climaxes, the guys take a heavy detour into the "Objectivist" bedroom to look into the unpublished books of Ayn Rand, proving that the Fountainhead isn’t the only thing getting a rise out of us this week. Grab a partner (or two) and dig in—it’s a season opener you won't want to finish alone.

Episode 057: Bring out yer dead, polish the casket, and cue the dirge—Six Picks Music Club returns with its annual In Memoriam, a cheeky wake for the legends who shuffled off this mortal stage in 2025. From Ozzy Osbourne’s final bat bite to Blondie’s last call, Brian Wilson’s eternal surf, Gang of Four’s revolutionary racket, the New York Dolls’ glam ghosts, and Mott the Hoople’s farewell strut, the guys raise a glass and pay respects to the dearly departed. And because no episode is complete without a curveball, they also discuss why the racket ball, of all balls, reigns supreme.

Episode 056: "What in the Wide World of Sports is Americana?" Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave for a special episode of the Six Picks Music Club as they welcome a guest Jeff to the conversation about the most deliciously undefinable of genres. Americana is like that perfect roadside diner: you know the vibe when you walk in, even if you can't quite articulate the decor. It has the twang of classic country, the soul of folk music, and a lyrical sincerity that just feels like home, even if "home" means a broken-down Ford pickup on a backroad somewhere. The guys attempt to pin down this elusive sound by spinning a killer playlist that jumps from the legendary Texas troubadour Willis Alan Ramsey to the raw, hard-edged storytelling of Tyler Childers. They also dive into the powerhouse harmonies of The Highwomen, look at a possible evolution of the genre from Halsey, and explore the enduring grit of Steve Earle and the lush, layered folk of Fleet Foxes. But be warned: the conversation takes a hard left turn, veering off the musical highway to tackle the pressing matter of escaped cats and, well, prolapsed anuses. It’s a true Americana experience—unpredictable, a little messy, and entirely heartfelt. Tune in for the music, stay for the feline emergency room stories!
