Beck Did It Better episodes

February 17 Kanye West: Yeezus (2013) Ep. 269
We are talking about the last Kanye album on the list and it is a tough listen so we eventually talk Hootie and the Blowfish. We talk singing songs at the retirement home, Rosie's best day ever at Glowfari, and Russell meets a guy who is smart enough to realize how smart Russell is.

Then we have the Vegas awards and we talk about this Kanye album that probably should have been a tip off that something was up.
Then we get so depressed that we listen to some Hootie as a palate cleanser.

Next week we are talking Kacey Musgrave and Golden Hour.

February 10 Randy Newman: Sail Away (1972) w/ LITTLE ROSIE Ep. 268
We finally talk about Tarzan boy, a bit about the Iowa sports season, and we do a GREAT job talking about the voicemail! Aaron tells a crazy story about getting a beer, we talk puzzle styles, and Russell tells us his crazy airplane movie watching habits. Then we talk about the hot move of the summer and the world of show choir.

Then we talk about one of the great American songwriters who makes you realize that America ain't so great! Little Rosie is here to help us peel away all the layers that make up the onion of this album, and of course we figure out the best baseball movie ever.

Next week we talk Yeezus and then cleanse the palate with some Hootie!

February 03 Beck Does It Again: Buddy Holly: 20 Golden Greats (1978) orig aired 10-31-23
Wow. I was just looking at the last couple of Months and we have missed a lot of episodes. I'm not going to lie, I was in London, so this is my fault.

This is Feb 3rd, so it is the day the music died, and this podcast always celebrates this solemn day with a respectful discussion. We talk about flavor savers (time is a flat circle), and then I play a bad parody song and then drop the hammer Russ style with a good one.

This is all of the episode I listened t,o but I started with a Big Johnson joke so I know this is a great ep.

Next Week: Are you Randy baby? Randy Newman!

I'm a "new man" because I have decided to change my life.

I am leaving my wife and kids.

Does that make you, Randy?

If so, give me a call, because I am so lonely.

Just like when I gave money to my friend Lee.

Then he was hardly Friendly.... he never paid me back!

Now I am friendless.

Because I am hanging out with my friend Les. He is great, much better than Lee.

But my friend Les changed his last name when he married the old Moore widow..... Now Les is Moore.

January 27 The Minutemen: Double Nickels on the Dime (1984) Ep. 267
LIVE FROM VEGAS..... We sat in a hotel room and touched fingers and talked about an album that we did not give enough time to. We talk hillybillys in vegas, pick up basketball in vegas, and playing video craps in vegas. We talk about falling in love with the women on the cards, hotel lobby late nights, and feeding the dog.

Then we break down the California punk Band The Minutemen and we sample a few songs off of the album because we had to get to the buffet.

Next week we talk about Randy Newman Sail Away which has 100% chance of us talking about Majoir League.

January 13 Pavement: Wowee Zowee (1995) Ep. 265
This episode is like an escape room for your mind as we become the best Pavement podcast when we talk about their thirsd album Wowee Zowee. We are getting this done early to get to our puzzles, but first, we talk about Savannah Bananas and then go through the best songs of 1997 for a depressing reason.

Then we talk records for the holidays and finally we discuss the realities of nosehairs.
Then we get into the album that is for people who love pavement. It's a zig when the record companies wanted them to zag.

Next week, the Minutemen with Double Nickels and we are off to vegas!

1 hr 28 min
January 06 Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here (1975) Ep. 264
Which one of these guys is Pink? We rail against the music establishment and listen to Pink Floyd lament on loss when we listen to one of the most anticipated albums of all time as we become the best Pink Floyd podcast with their final album on the list. Before we talk Roger Waters and David Gilmour, we sit down and discuss our 2025, getting our kids good at video games, look back at some of our favorite categories on a certain website, and talk about podcasting for our 6th year.
Then we get into the puzzle lifestyle, the best sports shows, and Matt goes on a hunt to find his BK Knights (or pumps.)

Then we talk the best songs about Machines, our ring style, and talk about how we are smart guys.

January 03 Beck does it again: The Original Christmas Episode of the Best Rock Christmas Songs (Originally Aired DEC 22nd 2020)
Listen. I know I released this already ,but for some reason it didn't come out on Apple Podcasts so I am releasing it again to see if that works. This is the episode from when we still enjoyed the podcast so much that we were adding episodes and for this one we covered Rolling Stone's list of the greatest rock Christmas songs of all time.

It has the first 12 days of Christmas songs on it and is not a bad episode but we were all up to our elbows with family stuff and Pink Floyd does not exactly scream HOLIDAY CHEER so have a go with this one.

If you already heard this on spotify or youtube (freak), just download it again and make us feel good.

December 30, 2025 Beck Does it Again: Best Holiday Songs from the Rolling Stone Magazine
This is an EARLY throwback to when we still liked doing the podcast so much that we were adding extra episodes. We cover the best holiday rock songs according to Rolling Stone Magazine. We will probably be back next week.

We desperately need voicemails or texts 802 277 BECK

December 23, 2025 The Beatles: A Hard Day’s Night (1964) Ep. 263
AUDIO FIXED. Thanks to our fans for pointing this out to me in lots of texts. I loved it.

Hey everyone. We are getting double teamed by the Beatles this week and it might make us cream our eyes out. We combined these two albums so we don't go insane. I wish I would have done the history of the album before each one but we still get to hear about Flavor Savers, the Best Christmas Movies, and having sharp bones.
We talk about the benefits of breaking up, we talk to Beck Claus, and reflect back on our busy 2025.

Next week we are talking Pink Floyd, "Wish you were here" and we question our sanity for the 264th time.
