This week we're discussing every album by Thinking Fellers Union Local 282. Let's just get this out of the way now: you probably haven't heard of this band, but that needs to change today. TFUL 282 are one of the smartest and most creatively gifted bands in history. Noisy, silly, beautiful, and wildly technical at times. If you have even a passing interest in 90s rock then strap in for some of the wackiest and most incredible albums ever made.

Today we're discussing MAD!, the latest album by Sparks. We love Sparks and the simple fact that Ron and Russell Mael are still making records over 50 years into their career is amazing. While MAD! may not be our favorite Sparks record ever, it still has all the charm you'd hope to expect from one, not to mention their delightfully quirky lyrics.

This week we're discussing every album by Wild Nothing. This band is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Jack Tatum, and if you're at all familiar with indie/synth wave/dream pop then you already have a pretty good idea how these albums sound. Unfortunately, Wild Nothing joins the ranks of bands we have no business talking about and that we never want to hear ever again.

This week we're discussing Motherfucker, I Am Both: "Amen" and "Hallelujah"..., the debut album by experimental band Shearling. Let's not beat around the bush here; this album is absolutely insane. While the band is clearly influenced by post rock and noise rock, the result is something out of a nightmare and should approached with the utmost caution. Not only is this one of the most ambitious albums of the year, but also one of the most intense we've ever covered on the show.

This week we're tying up some loose ends by discussing More, the reunion album by Pulp. It's been over five years since Mike and Alex covered every single album by Pulp (back on episode 44) so they definitely weren't expecting an album full of brand new material. Mike came out of that episode a fan while Alex did not. However, this album just shook things up and now they're flipped on the matter.

This week we're discussing every album by Sonic Youth from 1982 - 1992. Made up of core members Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, and Steve Shelley, Sonic Youth are easily one of the most influential, as well as one of the most eclectic rock bands of all time. This era of the band covers all of their early years, including the vast majority of their most beloved albums. Incidentally, they're also a band Alex and Mike can't agree on to save their lives.

Confusion Is Sex 20:22

Bad Moon Rising 36:32

This week we're discussing every album by This Heat. This is a band we don't really have words for because they're unlike anything we've ever heard. To put a genre on them feels silly, especially considering some of their songs could hardly be considered music. But they are indeed one of the most original bands we've ever come across, with songs that could never be replicated or imitated. This Heat is the real deal.

This week we're discussing every album by The Stone Roses. This band put out one of the most beloved albums of the 80s and then proceeded to completely crumble under its success, churning out one massive disappointment of a followup five years later, only to immediately break up. A harrowing tale, but at least we have some fun tunes out of it.

This week we're discussing every album by TOOL. This band needs no introduction, considering they're one of the most famous metal bands in existence. This is, however, Mike's first deep dive into the band. Some controversial takes here, some not so controversial. But even if you aren't the biggest TOOL fan in the world, there is simply no denying what they do well.

This week we're discussing every album by Creedle. If you haven't heard of this band, don't worry, no one has. However, we urge you to change that today. Creedle is one of the most criminally underrated and underappreciated prog bands that exists. If you're a fan of Mr. Bungle, King Crimson, Secret Chiefs 3, or just crazy music in general, then they are an absolute must listen.
