“Jim, do you know where I can find Michael Scott?"
“Oh, I totally don’t know where Michael is, dude. Hey, you want to listen to some records?"
On this week’s episode, Alex and Edwin dive into the early seasons of The Office and the parallels with Indie music culture of the same era. We talk about the bands, episodes, and Office moments that make up that era, and how some of that context feels forgotten since The Office became so popular after those early seasons.
We also talk about some of the music featured in the show and how it feels to look back on other musical eras from the 2026 vantage point. Then we head to the Conference Room where we talk Oscars and share a message from discord!
