From The Pile

Nick and Ben(s) go over a few of their favorite halloween albums. We cover Alice Cooper, Ozzy, and the Lovecraft-inspired super nerd band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. Gather round with your best mates and come hang with us this halloween!

Comedian & Podcaster John Cullen returns to SOSNSBSB to explore a slew of his favorite topics -- including podcasting in the age of COVID and of course, Nu Metal & System of a Down. 

Did you know? John has a new comedy album coming out on October 16th! You'll be able to find it on Apple Music and Spotify and probably anywhere else that streams music. You can also listen to John on his podcast about social media and rejection Blocked Party or, if Nu Metal is your thing, you can catch him on The P.O.D. Kast.

Nick and Ben C. and Ben D. are diving head first into the spooky season with a spirited discussion of the godfathers of heavy metal, Black Sabbath! This is the first of two parts delving into the holiday season so keep your eyes peeled later this month for a standard format episode discussing spooky albums old and new.

Leave us a review on iTunes if you're so inclined!

This week we’re firing on all cylinders with a star studded line up. Nick opines for a St. Vincent David Byrne collab from 2012, while Andrew and Chloe talk all things Phoebe Bridgers. Later, friend of the pod Zack makes his debut with Bon Iver’s self titled effort, Bon Iver.

While the world is on fire, take solace in this, our latest episode. Originally recorded at the end of May, we decided to postpone this one due to the protests across the country over the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police Department. And just so it's clear, this podcast supports Black Lives Matter and stands in solidarity. 

In this episode we are joined by John Cullen, co-host of Blocked Party and the P.O.D. Kast. Andrew has brought us an EP from an all female supergroup boygenius, which we all agree is amazing. Nick has the latest from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and some hot takes are had all around. Finally, John has brought in the tour de force Civilization by the duo Wye Oak! 

Nick and Ben talk about their quarantine experience and discuss the history and music of Animal Crossing, Nintendo's great escapist franchise. Animal Crossing: New Horizons was released in mid-March, right as everything started closing down due to COVID-19. Take a journey with us as we discuss the music of Animal Crossing!

Hello in self-quarantine land! Rocky couple months its been since we last updated, huh? Well, here's some semi-fresh content to help the time go by. A few weeks ago Nick sat down with friend of the show Ian Gould and Rick Johnson, bassist for Mustard Plug and audio engineer extraordinaire  to go all in on the Red Hot Chili Peppers opus Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Is it great? Is it the downfall of the band? Is it both? Tune in to find out! Also, we're on Anchor.fm now, tell your friends!

updated in 2025 to remove copywritten music.

After a brief holiday break, Nick and friends are back! This week, another deep cut dive! Vulfpeck’s The Beautiful Game is an album Nick and Ben bonded over when they first met, so they figured they’d hang out and talk about it!
