Episode 515-Counting Crows'-August and Everything After


Listen Later

This Week on America’s Podcast

 Strap in, folks—this week we're diving headfirst into a swirling pool of flannel, feelings, and post-grunge gloom as we break down Counting Crows' August and Everything After with guests Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez. Is this album a poetic masterpiece or just the sound of someone staring out a rainy window with a journal and a half-smoked cigarette? We ask the tough questions—like: Is this what happens when you quit heroin but keep the angst? And did Adam Duritz invent sad guy core?

Tensions rise, opinions fly, and someone may or may not throw a metaphorical punch over the use of the accordion. No spoilers—but if you thought grunge was dramatic, wait 'til you hear these takes.

Tracks of the Week (a.k.a. The Mixtape You Didn’t Know You Needed):

  • Jerry brings the Gin Blossoms and their codependent anthem "Hey Jealousy"—because what says love like passive aggression?

  • Andy serves up Billy Idol's "Flesh for Fantasy"—because nothing says subtlety like leather pants and pelvic thrusts.

  • Travis goes full night-creature with Blue Öyster Cult's "I Love the Night"—probably recorded under a full moon while making eye contact with a wolf.

  • Marc gets soulful with "Living for the City" Slash ft. Tash Neal—because nothing’s more punk than Stevie Wonder and civil rights.

  • And The Mooger Fooger closes it out with "All the Dead Girls" by Dream Car—because apparently we’re ending on a high note… in the goth sense.

    So until next week: stay off smack, hug your weird friends, and never trust a man with dreadlocks and a top hat unless he’s holding an acoustic guitar.
