497 - Geek Challenge: Stick Season vs. Blood on the Tracks

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Are you feeling “Homesick”? Are you all “Tangled Up in Blue”? Dogged by a “Simple Twist of Fate” or, perhaps, sippin’ on gin and “Orange Juice”? Then boy, do we have the Geek Challenge for you! Dipping their toes in musical waters for the first time in a while, our boys are listening to one of each other’s favorite albums. Paul has challenged Arlo to Noah Kahan’s 2022 singer-songwriter album Stick Season, and Arlo has in turn challenged Paul to Bob Dylan’s extremely singer-songwriter classic, 1975’s Blood on the Tracks. They grapple with each artist’s distinctive vocal stylings, compare the albums’ sense of mourning for loves lost, and are generally perplexed by what music the other is drawn to.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><strong> </strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">NEXT: Drop a sick beat, we’re gonna freestyle.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong><br /> <br /></strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">BREAKDOWN</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">00:00:55  -  Intro / Guest</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">00:05:30  -  Stick Season by Noah Kahan</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">01:19:28  -  Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">02:27:31  -  Outro / Next</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong><br /> <br /></strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">LINKS</span></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 10pt;" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><a href= "https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2022/10/stick-season-review">Noah Kahan’s ‘Stick Season’ beautifully captures the complexities of homesickness</a> by Elle Muller, The Dartmouth</span></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 10pt;" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><a href= "https://www.billboar
