In the 31st episode of Crushed Monocle, Jon and Coop discuss 2023 unwrapped.

It was an incredible year for music! With so many stellar releases, there’s hardly enough to listen to them all, much less critique them! After discussing some of their favorite current albums, Jon and Coop delve into what made 2023 such an interesting year for every genre.

  • Coop was stuck inside for nearly a month due to knee surgery.
  • Jon slowly becoming a seasonal listener.
  • Controversies with various popular YouTube personalities.
  • Calling out labels, artists, and PR who don’t support those who support them.
  • How popular publications are stifling indie artists.
  • Why we just want some stickers.

Most Importantly, Jon and Coop explain their mission statement.
