February 25, 2025 227. Little Richard: Here's Little Richard (1956)
This week we become the best podcast about Little Richard and the 227th greatest album of all time, Here's Little Richard. This episode features a proper natter that'll leave you gobsmacked – whether you’re in the loo, with your mates, or just chatting bollocks like a right wanker, we’ve got a treat for ya, you cheeky bloke!

When most music podcasts zig, we decide to gaz for the most F'd-up take ever about whether it's okay to eat salmon skin. Then we skip a night on the town to discuss Queen by Candlelight, celebrate little league team names, and cover the best WHOOOOO songs. We also became the best podcast about Saturday Night Live and SNL50. Then, we had to go to New York's most exclusive club for some canapes and dress code dilemmas.

If this podcast's first half doesn't fit you, you can grease it and make it easy by slipping and sliding to (1:00:00) when we rip it up on Little Richard's debut rock and roll album. We cover the best singles of 1955, why Little Richard played so fast, and Little Richard's swinging style.

If you get lucky rolling your twelve-sided Flamingo dice today, you'll land on the best podcast about Derek and the Dominos and the 226th greatest album of all time, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. Careful though, last time Catherine the Great rolled the 12-sided dice she ended up leaving quite the legacy that would make even Big and Rich blush.

Before we get to the album we hold our annual State of the Union celebrate great customer service and provide tips on the use of warm water that don't involve your dead-ass Christmas tree.

February 11, 2025 225. Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002)
(Radio noises.... static.... beeps and boops)

I have a lament! This week's episode is like trying on a warm bathing suit at Target, kind of a bummer. It's also the best podcast about Wilco and the 225th greatest album of all time, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

But before we get to the music, we're cracking open a 30-pack of Hamm's and talking about martial arts movies and the best James Bond. We also become the best podcast about video games when we cover Goldeneye, The Oregon Trail, and Drug Wars. Then we share some Eagles trivia, Gen Z kinks, and the best mini-bar snacks. We also experience a celebrity run-in, but we're playing it cool.

Then, at (54:00), we head to some poor places and cover Wilco's fourth studio album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. We discuss the documentary about the album, the beeps and boops all over it, and the best albums rejected by their initial record labels.

Next week, we'll ease your worried mind when we become the best Derek and the Dominos podcast when we cover Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

February 04, 2025 224. The Chicks: Fly (1999)
What I'd like to have right now is for all you podcast-listening sweathogs to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and play the best podcast about The Chicks and the 224th greatest album of all time, Fly. Warning: The clarinet in this episode is a rude awakening that sounds like the main host is making love to the cat from Peter and the Wolf.

Before we get to the album, we head to the world of movies and TV to discuss Three Men and a Baby, Magnum P.I., Look Who's Talking Too, and the age-old debate of Becky vs. Darlene. Then, we put our customer service worker on hold for 30 minutes to discuss Scandinavian sleep style and comforters versus duvets. Finally, we turn up the volume on local Minnesota musicians, guitar-playing bartenders, and the 1997 How Do I Live song controversy involving LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood.

Then, at (1:03:00), we become the best 90's country music podcast and discuss The Chick's fifth studio album, Fly. We discuss the album's production quality, great country music songwriters, and the best artists who influenced The Chicks.

Next week's episode will prove to be a Radio Cure when we become the best podcast about Wilco and the art rock album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. All Hail...Aaron Judge! Oh yeah...F Menards.

January 28, 2025 223. John Lennon: Imagine (1971)
Imagine a world where no one takes care of their voices!

We are back from vegas; and you can tell. (I edited out a 1000 coughs thanks to Joe)
We are low energy but because we love our fans, we are talking bathroom adventures, Aaron's new car, and Russell the Chef.

We then listen to one of the greatest songs ever and it is just the parody song! That song Imagine is pretty good too. I think I would have done a parody song like "I went in all the glory holes" or something with feet... I don't know.

We barely make it through this ep but we do and it actually came out better than I thought.
