Beck Did It Better episodes

  • Herbie Hancock: Head Hunters (1973) Ep. 254

    Hey everybody, welcome to KJAZZ where we are talking one of the best selling Jazz albums of all time (until 1980.). We talk cooling mint, library stress, getting harassed by fans on the plane, and why you should go to that funeral. 

     

    Then we become the best Herbie Hancock podcast of all time and talk the merging of Jazz and Funk to make one of the best vibe albums of all time. We also explore the world of Stars on 76 and the songs that lost the 1981 best R and B album. 

     

    Next up, we are going to do a replay... but after that! We are doing the Freewheeling Bob Dylan. 

    1 hr 53 min
  • Pink Floyd: Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967) Ep. 253

    Hey... come on in, sit back, and take your socks off and enjoy the Pink Floyd album you have never heard nor heard a song off of. 

     

    This is the episode where someone took 100 mg of the limitless drug and decided to host a podcast. We visit   iwaspoisoned.com.    and figure out the worst place to get tilapia before our flight to Chicago, find a new kind of Cheerios, and we are on a diet so we will just have the broccoli.  Aaron buys a fridge that has a message about Grannies in your Area (sorry Mother in Laws) and we read a literal message to a granny!

     

     

    Then we listen to a psychedelic rock album that makes us think about Aereola 51 and we reach for the stars on a list about the greatest space rock. Then we listen to some weird british stuff that was recorded in the same place as Sgt. Pepper. 

     

    Then there is nothing at the end so don't listen if you are related to me. 


    Next week, we go bananas for Herbie Hancock Head Hunters.

  • Devo: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (1978) Ep. 252

    We know you like it extra SLOPPY. 

     

    The first 25 min are the worst show we have ever done. Then Aaron saves the day. 


    We mostly come up with things to tell Aaron later like Maxim magazine, our fantasy teams, and the Charlie Sheen documentary. Aaron talks carpooling, sloppy joes, and we find out how much beef jerky is in our houses... Rob talks about dispensing justice, the career of Mark Mothersbaugh, and how Devo combined punk and new wave. 

     

    Matt highly recommends the Devo documentary and I recommend leaving a voicemail at 218 341 BECK. 


    Next week. We talk Pink Floyd and Piper at the Gates of Dawn. 

    1 hr 41 min
  • Elton John: Honky Château (1972) w/ Magic Mike Ep. 251

    Mittens! Mr. Whiskers!  No!

    Superfan and smart music guy Magic Mike joins us to talk practicing piano, Elton John, and what exacty is going on with all that milk in Russell's fridge. 


    We talk golden girl mythology and the Pearl Jam/ Magot Brain mashup we have been waiting for.  Russell is on fire at his conference and Aaron is back on his shit. 

    Finally we talk about weekend at Bernie Taupin's and we talk about Bernie's non Elton songs. 

    Call or text the beck line 218 341 5715 

     

    Next week.... We are talking DEVO and Q: Are we not men? We are DEVO!

  • Beck Does it Again! John Prine: John Prine (1971) with special Guest Jon from Edina

    We're busy and we're sorry but our buddy Jon just started a new job so we want to celebrate by reposting one of our favorite episodes, favorite albums, and favorite guest (Suzanne doesn't read these) 

     

    Congrats to Jon on the new job, here is to hoping you can buy bigger buckets for the garage, and some more shoes for your two lengthed legs. 

     

    We may or may not be back next week. We haven't quit yet, I promise. 

    2 hr 18 min
  • Whitney Houston: Whitney Houston (1985) Ep. 249

    WELCOME TO THE POSITIVE SHOW!

     

    The greatest love of all is loving your shelf.... that holds the best selling album of 1986, its this one... Whitney Houston by Whitney Houston! We become the best podcast about THE VOICE with the only Whitney Houston album on this dumb list! 


    but before we talk about Whitney, her voice, and her legacy, we talk selling cars, seeing rap shows, and making commitments and the best selling albums of 1986. 


    The album is a banger and ends with one of the worst songs ever, once again proving Russell's theory. 

    next week we hit 250 with the Buzzkills and Singles Going Steady. 

    1 hr 20 min
  • Beck Did It Again! Johnny Cash: At Folsom Prison ReRelease

    We can't get together to record due to the summer being over and everything happening at once so we got together with our good friend Jon and talked a little Minnesota State Fair because Johnny Cash is the first person to ever sell out a concert there! 

     

    Listen up! This ep is funnier than I thought and has an all time "next album" joke that won't make you mad you stuck it through to listen to it! 

    1 hr 58 min
  • Green Day: American Idiot (2004) Ep. 248

    We are taking a drive down the boulevard as we become the best podcast about Green Day and American Idiot. We are talking the Miami Heat, the WNBA, and Aaron drops a bomb on us. It turns out kids love Green Day, we talk driving tests, and the fun of writing notes to bad parkers. 

     

    Russ puts his relationship on the line for records and we talk about Green Day's comeback album "American Idiot" and the controversy surrounding the stolen album. 

     

    Next week we talk about Whitney Houston: Whitney Houston and we won't mention Akeem Olajuwon or Jeff Bagwell.
