It’s Friday, it’s mid-November, and the weekly deluge of new albums felt like it was finally starting to slow down as we approach the holidays — until we looked at our Nov. 14 list of LPs, EPs, compilations and reissues and saw triple digits. There’s no offseason in this business.

The most anticipated album out this week is Summer Walker’s Finally Over It … which we did not get to hear in advance, but that didn’t stop us from marveling at the Atlanta R&B star’s promo acumen. With 26 featured guests across 18 tracks, it’s going to challenge Taylor Swift for the top spot on the Billboard 200.

Each week, we welcome a different DJ from the NPR Music network of public radio stations, and this episode’s guest is the esteemed Liz Warner from WDET in Detroit, where she hosts an eclectic program called Alternate Take.

How exciting to be, what I believe, the first public radio music show to go from Justin Bieber’s excellent new album into Jeff Tweedy’s excellent new solo triple album! Plus new music from Hot Chip, Girls of the Internet, Ezra Furman, Kelela and more.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
