Album Maunder

It's Sam's turn to bring an album to the pod but he also brought us a special mystery guest named Kate Bell! Together, we dove head first into 1997's OK Computer, the third studio album, by Radiohead. Often referred to as one of the greatest albums of all time, we decided to put it to the ultimate test and hold it to the utmost scrutiny on this podcast that has now, according to reviews that we are pretty sure are about us, become the gold standard for reviewing albums. So don't be so paranoid, Android, just hit play!

Today, with special guest Emily Greene, we dive into an album of Lance's choosing. From 1994, the debut album of British rock band Bush titled Sixteen Stone. With 5 of the 12(ish) tracks getting serious radio play, it's no surprise that this is the episode that Veronica has been looking forward to the most. 

After many months of talking about it, outside of this podcast, we thought it was time we finally make and episode about it. So today Kara sits in on the podcast to talk about the music, the cast, and everything surrounding the show Beetlejuice The Musical! 

In this first episode of what is likely to be many, in this side series, we are discussing 1991. Were you there? Do you remember? Each of our hosts picked some of their favorite songs from the year and are bringing them to YOU!

In 2006, the rock band Blue October released their fourth studio album... Foiled. It would end up being the band's best-selling and most popular album. While casual radio listeners were waiting for the next time the DJ would play Hate Me or Into The Ocean, Dawn had already bought the CD and was becoming more and more invested in the band, their music, and the meaning of their song's lyrics. Unbeknownst to Dawn at the time, she was preparing for the day when she would spring the album on three friends and have them dive into a nearly THREE HOUR conversation about it. This, dear friends, is that day...

For those of us born between the late 70s and the early 80s, we were probably the perfect age for Weird Al's 10th studio album, Running With Scissors, to penetrate our minds and lay the foundation for a lifelong memory of its lyrical genius. With parodies, style parodies, and some original songs, Al continued to wow his fans and even gain many new ones with hits like A Saga Begins making its way into the mainstream pop culture scene. Although 1999 was a "different time", we think everyone will enjoy this hilarious, incredibly clever, and quite weird album that Veronica brings to us in this episode of Album Maunder! 

It's Sam's turn to throw an album our way and he didn't disappoint. Some might say He's Misstra Know-It-All and definitly didn't get Too High when picking this one for us. So turn up that dial, Golden Lady, and Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing because, fresh off the 1973 presses, we're diving into Stevie Wonder's Innervisions. Hit play and you might just find some... (clears throat) Higher Ground.

Although it is published a little late, in this episode Veronica has us dive into the 2022 Tony Awards and the SIX nominees for Best Musical.

Lance, determined to bend the rules of Album Maunder, brings the group a DOUBLE ALBUM. That's right, not one, but TWO CDs in this bad boy. Kids, CDs replaced cassettes and cassettes were these things that... Nevermind. From 2006, Red Hot Chili Peppers' 9th studio album, Stadium Arcadium! This episode is part one of two. Let's be done with this description and get started! This, dear friends, is Stadium Arcadium: Jupiter.
