In BONUS episode #19 of LLR, Jay brought an LP from German Neue Deutsche Welle sister duo Humpe (und) Humpe to the dining room table. It was a treat. The lyrics to their song "Yama-ha" reminded us of something we saw in a parody horror flick twenty-or-so years after the album's release.

In episode #38 of LLR, we explore and celebrate the deep discographies of some of our favorite artists. We’ll revisit surprisingly solid solo efforts, sensational side projects, and often overlooked, audacious LP releases from way-back-when, which gave listeners a taste of the sonic greatness to come.

Lickers Jay and Deon wax poetic on ten of their favorite records from their respective collections which are filed under the letter J. Their choices lead to discussions on Blindboy Boatclub (he rules), the origins of their nicknames (do you even know these guys?), another blind-bought Burger Records beauty (Jay is a total Burger fanboy), Steve Albini (R.I.P.), and much more.

In the early 1970s, legendary collaborator and self-proclaimed non-musician Brian Eno famously designed a deck of 115 cards containing elliptical imperatives to spark in the user creative connections unobtainable through regular modes of work. He called his creation "Oblique Strategies." For the past half century, countless artists and professionals across the globe have benefited from utilizing the oblique strategies technique when attempting to overcome a lull in creative output. In 2024, idiotic, introverted yet somehow still award-winning* hobby podcasters and self-proclaimed Lightnin' Lickers Jay and Deon found themselves uninspired when contemplating the potential theme of their upcoming thirty-seventh episode. Together, they decided... to default back to the alphabet. Because they have a reasonably solid grasp of the alphabet and how it works. They had previously utilized the letters A thru I, so naturally, they went with J.
