The End.

A review and a look back.

It’s been over seven years since Marc and Steve brought on an intern  (Eric) to create a music review podcast.  Since then they covered every single NIN and Bowie song, and 42 separate albums by other artists ( plus related discographies).  The Trio has reached the end of the road, and they find themselves back at the starting line. 

Pod Like Hole’s pilot experiment, the first episode, was Nine Inch Nails' “Pretty Hate Machine”, but the Hole Boys didn’t really know what they were doing yet.  Blushing amateurs, they bungled a classic record.  In the spirit of setting things right in this jacked up universe, they will finish what they started.  But this time....they’ll get it right. (what year is this?)

Enjoy a track by track review of “Pretty Hate Machine” , and betwixt the analysis the guys will reflect on this project, their friendship, and the incredible listeners we’ve gotten to know over the better part of a decade. It's a loose, long goodbye.

As the bionic guitars of Ringfinger echo into the stratosphere, so do your hosts. While our friendship is eternal, this project has been canceled.   This is our goodbye.  But …..to quote Joe Strummer, (co-creator of our only perfectly scored record), “ The Future is Unwritten”….
