The Next Episode

In the second week of Black History Month, we go to New York City to find Living Colour and their second album, Time's Up. 
 Elite level musicianship? Check. 
 An old school "conscious" mind-set? Yup. …

We kick off Black History Month with an album from a true pioneer of the game.  The one and only MC Ice-T. Power (1988) was as influential as it was boundary defiling.  Funny as it was serious but al…

It's the last "Hometown January" show.  This week, we are celebrating The Melvins and their second album, Ozma.  Unsung "Doom Metal Pioneers"?  Maybe.  Ripped off by everyone?  Probably.  Heaviest ba…

Hometown January continues!  Hometown for us anyway.  If you are unfortunate enough to not live in the shadow of a killer volcano called Mt. Rainier, you still probably know or love this album.  Nirv…

We continue "Home Town January" with one of the biggest and long lasting bands to ever come from Seattle.  Pearl Jam.  We get into their second album, second drummer, second guesses and the like.

Before there were Black Days and Rusty Cages, there was Louder Than Love.  We kick off "Home Town January" with a listen to Soundgarden's second album.  Earlybirds on the so called "Grunge" scene in …

This has been a long time coming and if this isn't one of the best second albums out there, we'll eat our hats.  The Cure's Seventeen Seconds.  See what how these youthful "Godfathers of Gloom" start…

Today we dig in to Queen II by, you guessed it, Queen.  Listen in to hear why Queen is like an expensive, imported sports car.  Why it's sometimes just fine to let the drummer sing one.  Last but not…

This week we look into the early days of MEGA-BAND, U2.  Still fresh faced and barely a set of pubes between them, they embark on their most openly spiritual album to date.  They have yet to fully sh…

This week, we bring you the Hollywood juggernaut, Motley Crue.  Love 'em or hate 'em, these guys were enormous on the 80's scene.  We start a drinking game and somehow learn to love this album for wh…

This is the first episode of our new Van Halen podcast, FAIR WARNING.  Jared Britt, Chris Pfeifle, and Augie Pagan bring you an in depth look at the history and shenanigans of America's greatest rock…

What was up with Helmut?  Polo shirts and crushing metal riffage you could "gleam the cube" to?  Or the next evolution of East Coast Hardcore?  We might find out on The Next Episode.

This week, we brave the smoky skies to huddle up in 117X to reminisce on our 20's and The Strokes second album.  Room On Fire (2003).  Does every New York band get compared to The Velvet Underground?…

Just what everybody needs right now.  Let us whisk you away to tropical ports of call.  Let's go yachting with supermodels and funky basslines. This is Rio.  Act like you know.

Best power trio of all time?!?!  Well, maybe just the first.  Groundbreaking and earsplitting none the less.  Join us as we explore the musicians and their powerful personalities that fueled, and ult…

It feels so good to be back!  This episode was recorded before the hiatus.  We are excited to talk about a band we both have a severe spot for.  The boys from downunda themselves.  Men At Work.  We t…

This was recorded before the world went to hell.  Just thought that needed saying.  Enjoy!

Today we head right back to 1996 when Sheryl Crow dropped her second album.  I kinda think we loved it.  
listen for yourself.

Hey maaaaan, take a trip with us to 1968 and have your face stolen.  We're diggin in to the Dead's second album, Anthem of the Sun.  For everyone's safety, we maintained minimum THC levels at all tim…

On this episode Jared and I dive deep into Antichrist Superstar or was it called Holy Ghost with the Most? Either way, this album is a monster and set off more than a few trends. -
