Decomposition Podcast

Led Zeppelin; rock gods, right? They really were greater than the sum of their parts. Even with the addition of Robert Plant.
This is a story-song. Is it a story? Who is the main character? Who …

It is frequently considered one of the worst songs of all time. And yet we, as a people, shot this song up onto the charts 5 times since its composition in 1968. The most popular of which was relea…

This isn't your typical episode of Decomposition. This episode is more of a love letter to the band REM. Natty Bumpercar grew up in Macon, Georgia. He went to school at UGA in Athens. Thus, REM i…

Dennis DeYoung is a crazy person. He created the concept album/ rock-opera "Kilroy Was Here," which was a half-baked idea that essentially caused Tommy Shaw to quit the band. It's easy to see why. …

This super-group ROCKS SO SOFT! Its a group made up of not-so-terribly well known musicians; Blond Fred Armisen, Emilia Estevez, Darryl Hall, and Darryl Strawberry.
How is it that Teresa and Katie do…

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! David Bowie and Iggy Pop cordially invite you to the drug ball!!
"Let's Dance," was rock-legend David Bowie's most commercially successful album. It also contained this garbage num…

This is a crazy, fun, ridiculous song... which is why we love it. Super-producer, Don Was, created something that makes no sense, and yet somehow makes perfect sense. What would you use to make a d…

Forest or jungles? Are they the same? Sara live-fact-checks us until we get her to join in the conversation. TMNT III. Nonsense all-around and a new bleeping record.

There are too many versions o…

This episode is all over the place. Country pop, Hich-hop, disco? Equine preservation societies. PETA members. It's very confusing. Katie gets a new nickname (Kathryn the Better-Than-Most.) Sex…

This song is pretty insufferable. Will.i.am recorded this song for his album #willpower and then decided to nix it, which we understand. Both Mick Jagger and J-Lo phone-in a performance... cool. T…

Katie had a revelation, she loves INXS, she just didn't realize that all of these hit songs were by the same band. Jamie and Brad, however, have always been on board. "Never Tear Us Apart," was on …
