Birthday! Birthday! Birthday! Bonus! Bonus! Bonus! It's Jim's birthday bonus featuring Steven Wilson's Hand.Cannot.Erase. A concept album about the removal of Jim's hand from Steven Wilson's shoulder. You'll never guess who ate some horse by using this one weird trick! Listen in!

Holy Crap! Episode 48 marks the two year anniversary of the show. Can you believe it?! We cant! On this episode we hold Jim's cousin Matt hostage as we discuss the 2016 album Magma by french metal band, Gojira. Everyone get ready to swing your metal hair around!

Wonder and whimsy abound as the classic trio dissect Grizzly Bear's 2017 release "Painted Ruins". By the classic trio, we of course are referring to the three Sir Michael Caines (just go with it, it's easier that way). Patrick Michael Caine succumbs to the "Metacricket", Jim Michael Caine regales us with another one of his trademark "international incidents", and Christopher Michael Caine? Well, let's just say he still knows a thing or two about Zelda. Enjoy.

We shuffled around our schedule a bit to ensure that the cliffhanger that is The Fragile would be resolved as soon as possible for our faithful listeners, and this decision has literally nothing to do with the fact that Patrick went out of town for a bit when we were slated to do his next episode. NOTHING, I SAY.

Anyway, as we dig into the second half of Nine Inch Nails's 1999 double album The Fragile, we're again joined by Todd Bowes of Downcity Armory to help us make sense of a lot of often abstract but damned fine content. Jim did a bad thing and celebrated this fact by severely damaging his toenail shortly before recording, and Patrick explains that Wisconsin is just Jazz New York. Come join us as we finish listening to this album and hopefully offer something for everyone; even the Juggalos.

We begin a series of firsts in this episode. It is the first time, for example, that we have recorded in Christopher's new place in New Hampshire. It is the first time we have recorded a two-part episode for a double album. It is the first time Todd Bowes (www.downcityarmory.com) has returned as a guest. And it is the first time Jim decided against an Impossible Burger at the establishment of traitors (B***** K***), that we learned Andrew Lincoln's real last name, and potential names for memoirs of a particularly thorny music reviewer. Strap in for part one of Nine Inch Nails' "The Fragile"!

Uber drivers, Guinea Pigs and apples, who would have thought? On this sizzling episode of OMYAC cha boys Christopher, Jim, and Patrick discuss 1997's Hard Normal Daddy by Squarepusher. Apparently a bag of apples a day keeps the guests away.

We're back at Patrick's Ol' Factory in Ayer covering our second STP record to date, 1996's "Tiny Music..." along with Gina Monafo (Bears For Years). Things get hairy and biscuit-y.

It's Patrick's (belated) birthday again and we've got another bonus episode! This time we are covering John Coltrane's 1965 classic "A Love Supreme"; topics such as hot dogs, Bruce Springsteen, and Auntie Anne's pretzels are also examined to an extent.

We get a bit punchy as we record this, our first second episode to be recorded in a single day, but darn it we have some fun. We're joined by Johnny Jimenez (BFF.FM's "We Let The Hats Decide") as we discuss Deftones' 2000 album White Pony. Johnny arrived with multiple items of Deftones paraphernalia (and cookies), Jim was underdressed for the occasion, Patrick didn't get enough fries but then got too many, and Christopher regales all with the legend of the Orange Bowl.

Oh man! It's Porkie Pal time! On this episode of OMYAC we dive into 2002's In Absentia by prog rock group Porcupine Tree. We're joined by Nate Heroux, a long time friend of Jim's, who helps take us down memory lane. Jim experiences some PTSD and everyone works through it as a team or something. Then, some other things are discussed.
