Kick The Jukebox

Weezerpedia maestro Jason Boxer talks about the album that Weezer fans love and the band has a very complicated relationship with: Pinkerton. No other one other than Jason could have been as El Scorcho with his insights.

Plus! Kyle loves an obscure New Edition track! Jason brings in a Canadian track (NOT LOUIE!) by The Most Serene Republic. Louie introduces the boys to Dark Wave.

Kyle ‘N Louie talk you through the lyrically dark and psychedelic 1996 album Thank God For Mental Illness while spinning some of it’s best tracks. They also delve into some of their fave songs from The Byrds, and The Germs (RIP Lorna Doom!)

Kick the Jukebox is BACK in podcast-form. This is a slightly-edited version of our live radio show on KPISS.FM! To access the full show, please visit https://kpiss.fm/#/show/kick-the-jukebox.

For this episode instead of focusing on an album, Kyle and Louie wax poetic about Louie’s favorite singer-songwriter, bubblegum music father and punk godfather Joey Levine! And speaking of wax, wax was indeed spun as we listened to some vinyl live from the station! Also, Kyle classes it up with a Four Tops track! It’s an all late-sixties Kick the Jukebox.

Spuds! Beautiful Mutants! Booji Bois! It's KTJB Episode 6!!!

Louie & Kyle dip their energy-domes into Devo's classic debut "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!"

Kyle gets Louie into John Martyn! Louie gets Kyle into The Partridge Family (sort of!). And both boys agree: Toni Basil is cooler than anyone gives her credit for!

Speaking of Toni, her music isn't on Spotify so check out her awesome song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_4L_ZIES4g

PLUS! Kyle reveals that he has a soft spot for Bruce Cockburn! Louie is in love with Fred Schneider from The B-52's, but we already knew that! A member of The Animaniacs was in a fake version of Fleetwood Mac but we don't remember which one!

Pay no mind to what they say, Episode 3 of Kick the Jukebox is here! Our album of the month is the game-changing Beauty and the Beat by The Go-Go's. Kyle and Louie heap a lot of love on this album by the pioneering all-girl punk/new wave band. They also delve into Jane Wiedlin's solo career, a notable Gravediggaz track, and a song so threateningly queer it was banned from the radio when it was released.

Plus! Kyle & Louie found a rare recording that fans of the 70's LA punk band The Germs cannot dare to miss!
