Mondo Classic

After months away doing boring school things, Brad returns with both massive seasonal allergies and the results of the first ever Deep Rotation Best Band Name Ever Tournament. This tournament was decided through fan voting, so obviously Brad's picks got smoked early and often. Along the way, many questions are raised: What makes a great band name? Why did Brad include Lush in this tournament? Why didn't he include Agoraphobic Nosebleed? Why did he make Handsome Boy Modeling School a 13 seed? Answers to these burning questions and more on this episode of Deep Rotation.

On this episode of Deep Rotation, we have our first ever book review, as we discuss the faux-rock expose book 'My Dead Dad Was in ZZ Top' by the awesome comedian Jon Glaser. We discuss amazing "real" (aka fake) stories from rock history as well as Glaser's incredible career in comedy.

With the holiday season in full swing, this week's episode never really got off the ground. But that said, this gives us a chance to follow up on some things, discuss the process of how this show tends to come together, and the general day-to-day nonsense that constitutes a week for Brad. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week.

It's a pretty brief show today on Deep Rotation, but we're still discussing several albums, all from the glorious decade of the '80s. Don't like it? Get the Gas Face.

Albums Discussed:

Von LMO - 'Future Language'

Gore - 'Heart Gore'

Billy Bragg - 'Life's a Riot with Spy vs. Spy'

Yaz - 'You and Me Both'

The Gap Band - 'Gap Band IV'

3rd Bass - 'The Cactus Album'

Welcome to the first episode of the yet untitled Mondo Kanye movie podcast. On our inaugural episode, hosts Sean Doherty, Steve Vitangeli, and Brad Fetrow discuss the 1961 film 'Mr. Sardonicus' by the 'King of the Gimmicks' William Castle. Can massage and hot towels cure paralysis? According to this movie, absolutely.

We apologize for the delays to this show, but there is good reason for the delay. During the editing process for this show about AIW's Rubber City Con, it was announced that AIW will be kicked out of their venue by the end of the year. The new owner simply does not want to host wrestling there, and this has put AIW in serious jeopardy. If you can help them secure a new host venue in the Cleveland area, please contact [email protected].

But after some sad news, Brad discusses his very enjoyable trip to the Rubber City Con in Akron.

Ham-o-Ween has (mercifully) come to a close, but its going out with a bang as Brad discusses the Top 50 Horror Movie Songs of All-Time. We have everything from horror titans like John Carpenter and Goblin to soundtrack impresarios like Ennio Morricone and Tangerine Dream to scuzz legends like Fabio Frizzi and Riz Ortolani and everything in between. Happy Halloween, yo.

Halloween parties have had the same party playlist for years. "Thriller"? "Time Warp"? How passé. We here at Deep Rotation want some fresh meat in these playlists, so we concocted a list of 20 deeper cut tracks to resurrect these moribund playlists. Will these get a lovely spooky atmosphere going? Possibly. Will these irritate and upset your guests? More Likely. But it wouldn't be a Deep Rotation list if it wasn't at least mildly alienating.

We're in the thick of Ham-O-Ween at Mondo Kanye, and we're going back to the vaults for another episode of Wild Cherry Massacre. This episode we discuss the giallo classic 'Suspiria'. It's as visually arresting as it is convoluted and silly, but who cares about things like 'plot' and 'coherence'? We've got rooms full of barbed wire here, yo.

We continue our Ham-o-Ween Month on Mondo Kanye with Devastating Enzuigiri's retrospective of spooky wrestlers. We learn many things on this episode, but mostly that wrestling could care less about intellectual property law. Fun!
