    Hey everyone! We are once again the best Fiona Apple podcast when we talk about the Idlers Wheel....

     

    We talk about credit card points, what we get in the divorce, and we finally hear Rob do his full standup set. Aaron talks tripe, Russ talks cigars, and we finally do the best celesta list. 

    Then we listen to some baroque pop and talk Fiona Apple.

  • Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures (1979) Ep. 211

    You've seen the shirt. You've heard bands talk about how they influenced them. Now listen for yourself as we become the best podcast on Joy Division and their debut album, "Unknown Pleasures."

     

    We talk scariest songs, Matt gives a review of the latest episode, and Aaron tells us how you can always go home. 


    Next week, Wild is the Wind by Nina Simone!

    1 hr 39 min
  • Ray Charles: The Birth of Soul (1991) Ep. 211

    First of all, let's be clear. Can we possibly be the best Ray Charles podcast and the best ever about this box set called The Birth of Soul, without Matt? Probably not, but three of us got together on a school night and tried. 

    We find out how Aaron gets his weather (wild), how my uncle was in the Miami Sound Machine, and we dive into Spotify Leagues. 

     Rob talks beds on the plane; you will never guess how Aaron says Swordfish. (Actually, I bet you could.) and Russell is living it up in Vegas. 

    Then we hear the greatest story of all time and finally drag ourselves to talk about this 53-song, 3-cd, 140-minute-long box set. Set your watch to deep sleep and join us as we talk about Soul music and why so many of these songs make us think about how we could circumcise a gnat. 

     

    Next week we don't talk about the BBQ and we talk Joy Division with Unknown Pleasures.

  • Beck does it again Chuck Berry: The Great 28

    Listen.  I am not going to lie. 

     

    I didn't remember this ep. Russ said it was good and I had my doubts until I listened to the end when Russ said his favorite Chuck Berry song is Run Rudolph. It literally is an insane thing to think, much less say aloud. 

     

    We couldn't record this week due to me. So we found out today is the anniversary of Chuck Berry's last Live Show. 

     

    I couldn't find any of his live shows, and when I search Chuck Berry Recordings, I get something totally different. 

     

    I added an intro and then added a bit about Chuck Berry with MORE detail.... Wow. I know what the people want...

  • Run-D.M.C: Raising Hell (1986) Ep. 209

    Folks,

    We want you walk this way to a store that sells muffins and listen to us talk about Run-D.M.C and the birth of the golden age of hip hop. We are talking sleeping on planes, remembering our rolling goings, and what bag we bring on planes. Planes are definitely in the top three things we talk about on this show. I don't get it. 

    Then we talk about old school rap and just how great this record sounds. We are beginning a roll of great records right after we do a Ray Charles 3 cd box set next week when we cover the Birth of Soul. It came out in 91 but was recorded in the 50's. We are truly stuck in a sysphean nightmare of our own making.

  • Lil Wayne: Tha Carter III (2008) Ep. 208

    We become the best Lil Wayne podcast when we talk about Lil Wayne and Tha Carter III. No not that little wayne. Not that one either. Maybe one drafted by the Twolves comes up twice. 


    We have a special guest with Little Rosie in the garage, Aaron is getting fruit in the mail now,  and find out what Aaron was like growing up. Rob talks about his balls. 

    Then we talk 2000s rap, Bangladesh, and where Lil Wayne sits in the pantheon of rap. 


    and yes, we have some dogs barking for the dumbshit listeners. 

     

    Next week go back to the roots of rap with Run DMC Raising Hell.

  • Eagles: Eagles (1972) Ep. 207
    ook, I don't know what type of corn smut you and your accountability buddy text chain have been listening to, but it feels like you may need some handwashing after this episode. This week, we're standin' on a corner in Karl Winslow, Arizona, recording the best podcast about Eagles—the raptors, the Mike Quick football team, and the band...Eagles!
     
    But before we get to the music, Aaron's ordering for the table: squash blossoms, huitlacoche, and Oreo Cokes all around. We also discuss how to handle a barking dog if you have your druthers.
     
    Then, at (38:00), we'll leave you with a peaceful, easy feeling when we talk about the Eagle's debut studio album, Eagles. We cover the band's original name, formation, and the best songs about chugging beer. 
    the Eagles formation, the best songs about chugging beer,
     
    Next week, we'll be playing with fire when become the best Lil Wayne podcast and cover the 2008 hip hop album, Tha Carter III. And somebody said we shouldn't record tonight.
    1 hr 13 min
  • David Bowie: Low (1977) Ep. 206

    This week we become the best David Bowie podcast when we talk about his album Low? Do you love soundscapes? Hate hits? You will love this one! 

    Aaron had two stains on his pants this weekend from the Mayor of Oakland. 

    We start by talking about Mighty Ducks 2 (quack quack), Varsity Blues, and falling in the shower before we ask for MORE POWER and talk about how much we like the first half of the album and then we slog through the back half. You know we are talking stonefruits and the strip clubs at Aaron's farmer's market.

     

    Next week, we have a banger ep as we talk Eagles and their album Eagles. 

    1 hr 42 min
  • Cat Stevens: Tea for the Tillerman (1970) Ep. 205

    We become the best Cat Stevens podcast by talking about his 1970 hit Tea for the Tillerman. We look at how good his songs sound in the hands of Mr. Big and then talk about the exact opposite of Mr. Big. 

     

    Warning..... new character has dropped on the show!  Aaron is keeping up with his great life and Matt finally tells us what women want.

     

    Rob figured out the best way to end arguments with people on the street. 


    Call or text the beck line at 802 277 BECK 

     

    Next week we are looking at David Bowie's Low. An album so strange, I went on the David Bowie Subreddit and they all love it more than anything.
