Beck Does It Again: Sly and the Family Stone: Stand!


Listen Later

Join Rob and his co-hosts as they revisit the legendary Sly and the Family Stone with a repost of their deep dive into the groundbreaking album Stand! This episode is packed with funky grooves, unexpected tangents, and a whole lot of fun. Robert, Russell, and Aaron break down timeless tracks like "I Want to Take You Higher," "Everyday People," and "Sing a Simple Song," while exploring the rich history of this genre-defining band. But don’t expect a typical music review—our hosts often get sidetracked with hilarious, off-the-wall discussions. From random Scooby-Doo references to deep dives into Scatman John’s life (yes, we went there), to heated debates on the right way to shift on your keyboard, this episode goes everywhere.

Expect a mix of serious music analysis and totally absurd pop culture tangents. We cover the influence of Sly and the Family Stone on funk, rock, and even hip-hop, while laughing about how NBA Jam soundbites might have been inspired by their funky grooves. We also touch on Lady Gaga’s impact, discuss the unforgettable Chumbawamba, and take some time to wonder if Sly’s untold story is destined for an Oscar-worthy biopic. I mean, it’s coming, right? We’ll probably get a nomination for this podcast if that happens.

Whether you’re here for the deep dive into Sly’s genius or just want to hear us go off on Chumbawamba and the Scatman, you’ll get it all. Robert, Russell, and Aaron may not be music experts, but we sure know how to have fun—and we know the impact of Stand can't be overstated. Tune in, laugh along, and remember: If Scatman John can do it, so can you!
