  • Tom Petty: Full Moon Fever (1989) with Neal from Lakeville

    What is scarier than bringing on a hip hop fan to talk Tom Petty? We find some songs that are certainly scary to listen to and Russ announces that this is the worst group of songs he has ever heard and we listend to Replica Trout Mask! 


    We talk baseball, how to talk to kids about sensitive subjects, more baseball and not at all about watches! 

    Then we talk Tom Petty and how an album this good can have a last song that is so bad. 

     

    Next week we are going to be off but then we are coming back with BB King live at the Regal or Neil Young when the rust sleeps.

  • 295. Daft Punk: Random Access Memories (with Peter from Pigseye) 2013 ep. 295

    Folks, we have Peter on who is just the best and you can hear me try to impress him on our longest episode ever. We have 2 paradoy songs, some great games and lists and this album us a banger. 


    however.. i have to say that at the end of all this aaron showed us the cast on his thumb when we were not recording and it was HUGE. I can't think about anything else. 

    Next Week: Neil Young and Crazy Horse with Rust Never Sleeps

    2 hr 44 min
  • Weezer: Weezer (Blue Album) 1994 ep. 294

    We are finally talking Weezer but before we do, we talk old radio shows, hit the wildest region of the cereal  bracket, and talk about going to a weezer concert. 

     

    then we talk weezer and do a list of the best bands to come to minneapolis with Weezer!


    Next week, Daft Punk Random Access Memories 

    1 hr 50 min
  • The Breeders: Last Splash (1993) ep. 293

    Get out your Guiness book of world records and join us at your favorite resatraunt as us four YOUNG guys hang out and talk about young things like customer service, showing up to things early, and what you do when your phone is terrible and doesnt just do what it is SUPPOSED TO DO EVEN THOUGH IT COST 1000 Bucks. 


    Then we have a list of the best bands with Twins and then we talk about this fun band where every song is a slightly different version of alternative music. 

     

    Next week. It's happening. 

    Blue Album by Weezer. 

    1 hr 12 min
  • Van Halen: Van Halen (1978) w Jon from Edina ep. 292

    Listen, 

     

    This album rips. It's so good that I had to reach out and BEG our guest to come on. Jon loves all things guitar and so I had to bring him on to talk about Eddie and the boys and literally his boy later in the band's life. 

    And what a life that was. I knew more about Van Halen and its members than any band ever. Thats crazy when you think about it. 

     

     

    We discover a new thing Aaron is into and then hear him spin a terrifying yarn. Then Russ talks us to the most fiber filled bracket ever. 

     

    Listen to this ep and then go back and listen to the Destiny's Child one again and a lot of the jokes make more sense and it also explains why we never seem to mention Russ's BIG NEWS. 

     

    Also I got in big trouble at home making the paroduy song at the end but it was worth it. 

     

    Next week we have the Breeders and Last Splash.

  • Russell's BIG NEWS

    Listen, this is a podcast bit you can send to anyone and it is no boring watch stuff, just Russells Rolling Going. Send it to everyone you know to share our wonderful news. 


    You can't say this podcast has not had a story arc.

  • Destiny's Child: The Writing's on the Wall (1999) ep. 291

    Listen, we can tell you all about our favorite watches or some mystery shoes that we sent to us in the mail but this episode has the biggest news that (thus far) has been dropped on the podcast ever. Its so big, I am going to release a second episode this week that is just Russ's Rolling going. 


    We talk Destiny's Child and Beyonce and the perils of going against her online or even if you are in Destiny's Child itself. 

    Finally, we have a lot of inception type jokes in this one so get ready to relisten to this one after Van Halen next week and it will make more sense.

  • Beck Does it Again! John Lennon: Imagine (1971) orig aired

    Rubs eyes.


    Oh man... where am I? I thought today was sept 9th! Its the day Lennon released this album. This has one of my favorite parody songs and a lot of jokes about women I love making love to people who aren't me. 

     

    This episode made me laugh made me what to go to Vegas. We get the origins of East St. Paul, and the origins of Aaron's weird relationship with his car dealer. 

     

    The bleeped joke was "loose slots" I hated that I remembered that. 

    1 hr 29 min
  • Outkast: Speakerboxx/The Love Below (2003) ep. 290

    Listen. This is a great album and all. There is some funny stuff here in the middle and at the end but mainly, we get to hear a record buying list from Aaron and it is exactly what you think it would be. 

     

    We talk breweries, the importanance of visiting friends, how Rob is dealing with his Cpap. Then we give some more showering tips and do a list that Russell does NOT like. 

     

    Next week we have Destiny's Child: The Writing's on the Wall
