  • 214. Tom Petty: Wildflowers (1994) with special guests Joe from Woodbury and Jon from Edina!
    Nov 19 2024
    It's the end of Locktober, which means it's time to hand over the keys and unlock the best podcast about Tom Petty and the 214th greatest album of all time, Wildflowers. Before we get to the point, we roll another joint and talk about the best John Candy movies (again), playing the Top Gun Anthem during a work meeting, and an exciting breakfast proclivity. We also clear up some cliffhangers, connect with our favorite luxury luggage looky-loo, and reveal the best DVD of all time. Then at (58:00), it's time to move on to Tom Petty's second solo album, Wildflowers. We discuss the Tom Petty: Somewhere You Feel Free documentary, Rick Rubin's production, and how you don't know how it feels to be Tom Petty's drummer. We also break down the best musicians that Tom Petty influenced. Next week we're trucking to a brokedown palace when we become the best Grateful Dead podcast and cover the rock album American Beauty.

  • 210: Ray Charles: The Birth of Soul (1991)
    Oct 22 2024

    First of all, let's be clear. Can we possibly be the best Ray Charles podcast and the best ever about this box set called The Birth of Soul, without Matt? Probably not, but three of us got together on a school night and tried.

    We find out how Aaron gets his weather (wild), how my uncle was in the Miami Sound Machine, and we dive into Spotify Leagues.

    Rob talks beds on the plane; you will never guess how Aaron says Swordfish. (Actually, I bet you could.) and Russell is living it up in Vegas.

    Then we hear the greatest story of all time and finally drag ourselves to talk about this 53-song, 3-cd, 140-minute-long box set. Set your watch to deep sleep and join us as we talk about Soul music and why so many of these songs make us think about how we could circumcise a gnat.

    Next week we don't talk about the BBQ and we talk Joy Division with Unknown Pleasures.

  • Beck does it again Chuck Berry: The Great 28
    Oct 15 2024

    Listen. I am not going to lie.

    I didn't remember this ep. Russ said it was good and I had my doubts until I listened to the end when Russ said his favorite Chuck Berry song is Run Rudolph. It literally is an insane thing to think, much less say aloud.

    We couldn't record this week due to me. So we found out today is the anniversary of Chuck Berry's last Live Show.

    I couldn't find any of his live shows, and when I search Chuck Berry Recordings, I get something totally different.

    I added an intro and then added a bit about Chuck Berry with MORE detail.... Wow. I know what the people want...

  • 209. Run-D.M.C: Raising Hell (1987)
    Oct 8 2024

    Folks,

    We want you walk this way to a store that sells muffins and listen to us talk about Run-D.M.C and the birth of the golden age of hip hop. We are talking sleeping on planes, remembering our rolling goings, and what bag we bring on planes. Planes are definitely in the top three things we talk about on this show. I don't get it.

    Then we talk about old school rap and just how great this record sounds. We are beginning a roll of great records right after we do a Ray Charles 3 cd box set next week when we cover the Birth of Soul. It came out in 91 but was recorded in the 50's. We are truly stuck in a sysphean nightmare of our own making.

  • 208. Lil Wayne: Tha Carter III (2008)
    Oct 1 2024

    We become the best Lil Wayne podcast when we talk about Lil Wayne and Tha Carter III. No not that little wayne. Not that one either. Maybe one drafted by the Twolves comes up twice.

    We have a special guest with Little Rosie in the garage, Aaron is getting fruit in the mail now, and find out what Aaron was like growing up. Rob talks about his balls.

    Then we talk 2000s rap, Bangladesh, and where Lil Wayne sits in the pantheon of rap.

    and yes, we have some dogs barking for the dumbshit listeners.

    Next week go back to the roots of rap with Run DMC Raising Hell.
