On this mind-fucking episode of BBGS Andrew and Jerry break brains with a lengthy preamble on art and artifice... the multitude of realities that exist due to individual perception... and the transformative powers of masks. This is somehow a podcast about professional-wrestler Chris Jericho's rock band Fozzy and their song "Judas". Also shouts to local indie promotions Outlaw Wresting and ICW New York.

Artists are a funny bunch. They think very highly of themselves, have logic that does NOT cut both ways, and often times have poor recollections and understandings of their past statements and their own work. Join us for Season 1 Episode 3 as the boys break down New Radicals, their song "You Get What You Give", and unpack Gregg Alexander's hubris-laden and distorted interpretation of his own lyrical content.

Andrew and Jerry break down the long, winding, and peculiar story of a tuneful punk band's descent into "live, laugh, love" hallmark-channel mediocrity. Jerry also bravely proclaims some highly controversial and spicey takes on Nirvana, which are frankly just plain wrong. Brave, but wrong. How 'bout that?

Join the boys as they recount Soul Asylum's story, address why they may be a bad band, and argue how Runaway Train is a great song.

And answer us this: Are you "indie" if the label you're on is owned by Hasbro?

Andrew and Jerry discuss rockstars not knowing what puns are, critics not knowing what hooks are, what it means to be "indie", sideburns, and songcraft. Oh yes, and they do the whole "bad band great song" thing too. Join them as they recount Semisonic's career, discuss the creation of Closing Time, explore how Semisonic may be considered a bad band, and make the case for why Closing Time is a great song. Thanks for listening. And remember, disagreement is encouraged!
