Music Talk

It is here, it is finally here!  Episode 100 sees a colliding of worlds where TeAngelo and Kris finally meet in the podcasting world to discuss three black albums to determine which truly is the Biggest Blackest Album.

Metallica - The Black Album

Prince - The Legendary Black Album [The Funk Bible]

Jay-Z - The Black Album

On the eve of the release of episode 100 Alex takes some time to muse of the past 5+ years of Riff 'N Ralk, Riff 'N Rock, and Riff And Rock.  A free flow of sentimentality ensues.  Don't worry, it is all because episode 100 is just that good.

Kris and Alex are joined by Pete Destefano and Se'nam Palmer to discuss some actual modern albums.  Since Ryan and TeAngelo refuse to discuss Death Grips anymore Alex has pulled in this all-star crew to dissect their latest creation and two other albums.  Check this episode out as they will review

The Gorillaz - The Now Now

John Ferrera & Seth Moutal - Frail Things in Sharp Places

The 80's? Oh yea we remember them! Ronald Reagan, endless shirtless buff dudes in action films, and the HIV epidemic that was exacerbated by rampant homophobia. Truly the greatest of times. Makes total sense why people just seem to love the decade. More important than the racial profiling that occurred during the crack epidemic is the music of the 80's and never fear Riff And Rock has you covered!

Listen in as we cover the most popular of the decade

Dunkelziffer - III

James Blood Ulmer - Black Rock

Creation Rebel & New Age Steppers - Threat To Creation

The Round-up #8 is here with a load of new album reviews.  Alex processes his feelings on these albums:

Amon Düül II - Tanz Der Lemminge

Amon Düül II - Phallus Dei

A.R. & Machines - Die Grüne Reise

Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Wonder Future

Bauhaus - In The Flat Field

Pere Ubu - The Art Of Walking

Kris and Alex look at 3 albums by veterans of the game and ask whether they still go it...and by that we mean did they still have it when these albums came out 10-15 years ago.

Pink Floyd - Endless River

Rush - Snakes And Arrows

Robert Plant - Might Rearranger

That's right! A new Free Form Jam Tram! After finishing the first half of the CAN book "All Gates Open" Alex has opted to gush over its contents and CAN's legacy instead of reviewing any albums.
