The Next Episode

Oh, dip! Look who's back!  Chris and Jared have returned to discuss just what is political music.

We bring "The Ladies of the 80's" to a close with an unmitigated banger.  Not talking about sausage but this British(?) crew led by The Dread Pirate Hynde, purely plundered our hearts and minds.  No …

Ladies of the 80"s can't stop and won't stop.  Let's cast our ears back to the "Reagan Era" for this delightful second album by The Bangles.  We'll see what a young "up and comer", Prince had to cont…

We're still about the "Ladies of the 80s" in this episode.  Out of the early 80s L.A. punk scene came a force of nature known as the Go-Gos.  With a little bit of help from an "old school" record man…

We're going to kick off our "Ladies of the 80's" run with the queen herself, Pat Benatar.  "Crimes of Passion" is her second album.  Released in 1980, no one could match her tough-guy femininity or h…

Before things got dark and sad, there was a time when STP was on top of the world.  Their second album quieted a lot of the critics who had perhaps written the band off as "Grunge" pretenders to the …

This week we have our good "friend of the show", Troy Carter back in with us to take a listen to the second album from Wilco.  Join us as we geek out and sing along with these "Icons of Americans".  …

OK.  So, what is AC/DC's second album actually?  Nobody cares as long as it rocks like Ayers.  Enjoy this episode full of totally non-offensive Australian impressions.  Sorry.

How come we don't listen to The Cult more often?  Can a guitar solo be for the entire length of a song?  What the hell is a Fairlight? 
Come on.  You know we got these answers for you.  Here comes the…

Hardly can believe it's taken us this long to get around to The Doors.  American icons.  Art rockers who can right a hit.  Subjects of a brilliant documentary by Oliver Stone.  We might have realized…

Rudy can't fail and neither can this episode!  We are joined by Rev (The Drowns) to break down and enjoy sophomore effort from The Clash.  Can "punk" be more of a credo than a sound?  Does Blue Oyste…

This week was so much fun because we had not one, but two guests to help us peel this onion.  That "onion" being "Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" by Georgia's own, Black Crowes.  How much lif…

Ok, right out the gate there's an asterisk on this episode.  We know it's not the second album.  It's their fourth.  See, if you have a guest fly all the way out from the east cost, we let 'em bend t…

This week we are joined by friend and podcaster, Elise Ballard (The Importance of Wine Podcast).  She has chosen the most excellent second album, "Rid Of Me" by PJ Harvey.  Pop the cork on some vino …

Sir Reginald Dwight.  The Rocket Man.  Captain Fantastic.  In 1970 though, plain ol' Elton John and his band Hookfoot messed around and dropped a jewel.  Let's, shall we?

  1996 was a wild time. The President played saxophone, got BJs, and "smoked" grass.  A "Florida Man" tried to kill Bjork with a mail bomb and got WAY too close to succeeding.  The Feds caught up wit…

Fade into this, fool.  Some records are for a certain type of listening.  Some records make you want to pump your fist, shake your booty, or drive fast.  Mazzy's second album will not make you drive …

Here comes another recent second album.  We're living in the now!  "Happier Than Ever" is the second offering from Los Angeles native, Billie Eilish.  She gets by with a little help from her songwrit…

If a disco record drops in a disco-less world, does it make a sound?  You tell me.  If you didn't hear Dua Lipa last year, your quarantine bubble is too tight.  And, maybe get the internet.  In 2021,…

This week, with Chris out on assignment, Peter joins Jared in the "117 Studios Compound" to discuss one of his favorite second albums.
Circa Survive's second album, "On Letting Go".  
Jared is just not…
