Beck Did It Better

For all you idiots who have been listening to the last 94 episodes, this is our Home Improvement episode, this is where we're at! More power. For all you new listeners that are here for the music, quit your whiffing and start your sniffing, because this is the best podcast about R.E.M. and the 95th greatest album of all time, Automatic for the People.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCE!! We are rereleasing our Prince eps to celebrate Prince's birthday, the completion of the Prince mural in Minneapolis, and the unveiling of the commemorative street name Prince Rogers Nelson Way! 

Minnesotans love three things, Minnesota, things with pictures of Minnesota on them, and people from Minnesota! Therefore we LOVE Prince!

And so should you! It's also is AARON'S MOM'S Birthday so happy birthday to [email protected]

Listen... we talk about a lot of stuff in this episode. It might be our best ever. But none of that matters. Aaron is currently living in his garage and needs to crawl out a window to go to the bathroom. It is all I can think about. 

Matt hates Halloween and the BIG BOPPER makes a comeback. But that is all background noise compared to Aaron being locked into his garage at night by his wife. 

We talk about how Prince is loved by Minnesotans and how he is the epitome of sex. But what we really want to hear is how Aaron has to sleep on an air mattress at night. 

Finally, we debate how many guitar solos is too many, we have a list of the greatest movie songs of all time, but no one cares because we are all visualizing Aaron trying to sleep as rats run around the garage.

OK, we admit it. We have been on a number of dates to psychedelic improv shows with other listeners before. But this week we're here to make some special memories with you when we become the best podcast about the Stooges and the 94th greatest album of all time, Fun House.

But before we get to the album, a voicemail schools the guys on the A.C. Slater, making this our best podcast about Saved by the Bell. Then the guys discuss improv comedy shows, Rube Goldberg machines, how much of your dating history should you share. A couple of the guys also get further on the edge on a Flight Tonight, and its gets hotter than intensity.

Then at (52:00) we're talking about The Stooges' second studio album, Fun House, led by Iggy Pop, or Iggy Soda for our east coast listeners out there. We discuss how the punk movement was a rejection of the hippies, how this is a companion piece to the emerging funk genre, and the best screams in rock music. We also become the best podcast about Greek mythology and mathematicians when the guys explore Rob's Sisaphysian ordeal and the Archimides' screw.

Next week we become the best Drake podcast when we talk about Drizzy's hip-hop R&B album and we can guarantee that the Pino grigio spritzers will be flowing!

If this week's episode were a pop flavor it would be Mountain Dew Flaming Hot! Because this is the best Missy Elliott podcast that covers the 93rd greatest album of all time, Supa Dupa Fly...

But before discussing the Misdemeanor, a listener calls in and commits a Rolling Felon when he rats out one of the guys for writing a love song about having a sandwich in his pocket. In addition, we're riding the friendly skies again with a couple of segments of Flight Tonight and discussing whether Beck should be opening for Arcade Fire. We then talk Turner and Hooch, Who Got the Hooch, and baba ganoush...OK actually, somebody made us talk about nutritional yeast, and the nooch got loose.

Then at (59:00) we're chatting about Missy Elliott's debut studio album, Supa Dupa Fly. We discuss how Missy Elliot's first album was produced by her own label, the best Timbaland songs, and whether the singing and rapping on this album was a precursor to Drake (the rapper...not the relays you Iowa listeners).

Next week we become the best The Stooges podcast when we talk about the proto-punk album, Fun House. If you were going to compare next week's episode to a pop it would be Coke's MagiCan because it comes with prizes and foul smelling substances that discourage consumption. Seriously, check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagiCan

You don't have to wait until tomorrow for another great podcast, because this week Beck Did it Better is the best podcast about Jimi Hendrix and the 92nd greatest album of all time, Axis: Bold as Love, not to be confused with Hendrix's other great albums with Underline as Love or Subscript as Love.

But before we listen to Jimi we get a live call in from the Drake Relays, making this the best track and field podcast to listen to. In addition, the guys cut loose talking consumer slogans that we just can't quit, the best BBQ restaurants in the southeast and Minneapolis, and taking in a show at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater. In addition, Rob has a habit that Aaron declares is the weirdest thing he has ever heard on the podcast.   

Then at (48:00) we talk about Jimi Hendrix's third album on the list, Axis: Bold as Love. We discuss the jazz influence on this album, what direction Hendrix would have taken had he lived past 27, and how Jimi Hendrix ruined Eric Clapton's life. We also run down the best songs not sung by the lead singer. The conversation on this episode is truly slow roasted.

This episode will fall into the sea, eventually, but don't worry, because next week's episode is the bomb diggy and the best Missy Elliott podcast when we talk Supa Dupa Fly. 

This week Beck Did it Better takes you to the promised land with a hilarious episode that everyone will enjoy unless you're a dumbshit podcast commenter on Facebook that thinks our 90's morning radio show doesn't really qualify as a podcast. Regardless, this is the best podcast about Bruce Springsteen and the 91st greatest album of all time, Darkness on the Edge of Town.

But before we get to the album, there is some darkness on the edge of this episode when a Facebook commenter provides a critique of the podcast and specifically the vocal stylings of the main host. Then the guys are honoring all the mothers out there by sharing our favorite mother's day memories. The conversation also touches on the concert of a lifetime, that the main host had nothing to do with, our favorite jobs that didn't make the resume, and whether our dozens of fans think we should just end this quest already. And this week we're running a special, where you'll save big money, you'll save big money when you download this podcast for free.

Then at (55:00) minutes, we talk about Bruce Springsteen's heartland rock album, Darkness on the Edge of Town. We discuss big builds, Springsteen's four corners approach to album creation, and the best songs about cars.

Next week, there ain't no telling what's going to happen when this morning zoo show becomes the best Jimi Hendrix podcast and we listen to Axis: Bold as Love.

Rolling Stone named this week's episode the "Ayer's Jordan" of podcasts as the guys cover After the Gold Rush, proving once again that Beck Did it Better is the best podcast about Neil Young.

But before the Gold Rush, Rob and the co-hosts share some stories that will surely cause you to experience an Enviornmentalisom! First Aaron makes this the best coffee podcast to listen to into 2022 when he talks about new coffee day, which is sure to give you good vibes. Matt asks, what's that smell as he boards a plane for another segment of Flight Tonight! Russ shares his experience at a gut wrenching Timberwolves game. If you're one of the adults clapping thundersticks at the game, we don't need you, but please keep downloading. Then Rob updates the audience on the ice cream developments in his life and how he never makes charitable contributions.

Then the content on the podcast finally rises above a dull surface at (42:00) when we talk about Neil Young's socially conscious album, After the Gold Rush. We discuss D modal guitar tuning, the best vibraphone songs, and how the album was inspired by a screenplay written by some dude on Quantum Leap. This does make us the best, and only, Quantum Leap podcast.

Next week, the guys are taking the podcast on the road to the Jersey Shore, where we'll gym, tan, laundry and act like we're the best Bruce Springsteen podcast when we cover Darkness on the Edge of Town. 

Bottom line...episode 89 is the best podcast about Erykah Badu.

But before we talk about the album we are there for you (when our drinks start to pour), we're there for you (like we've been about 100 episodes before), we're there for you (because you Beckerheads are there for us too). Matt shares his experience of meeting a celebrity. Aaron's eating canned fish and has an American cheese ramen trick. We also become the best sports card podcast when Russ gets some old school cards. Then Rob lets us know what he wears to bed. If you think you have it figured out, au contraire.

Then at (56:00) we talk about Erykah Badu's debut album, Baduizm. We discuss the Roots' involvement in this record, crackling vinyl static, and the songs and artists that influenced neo-soul music.

Next week Neil Young returns to Spotify (and every other platform you get your podcasts) when the podcast covers Neil Young's After the Gold Rush.

This week's podcast is truly an extrava danza for all you pretty things as we prove again that Beck Did it Better is the best podcast about David Bowie when we cover Hunky Dory. And to clarify, we're not talking about that fish from Finding Nemo. So just close your Bing browsers now.

But before the guys get to the album, we become the best podcast about cars when Aaron shares an unfortunate, but funny, story about how his new car met his retaining wall. Matt answers whether it's ok to sit across from your spouse on a plane in another Flight Tonight. Then the guys talk about fine dining when Russell is eating in the dark, chowing down snacks and eating slices of pork, why did we wear nice clothes. Rob also asks the listeners if people know what a cakewalk is. And if you just searched, "Is Mona Alive?" and landed here, we are definitely the podcast for you.

Then at 59:00 we talk about David Bowie's piano pop rock album Hunky Dory. We discuss whether the Beatles influenced this album, what Bowie's lyrics mean, and the best songs recorded on the Trident Studio's Bechstein grand piano.

Finally, the guys share their experiences of when they found out they were going to be a parent, and for some it was never a long journey.
