Markus and Ray have long espoused their love of the great Marvin Gaye on this podcast! This week, he's featured in an episode of Game Changers, all about his landmark 1971 album, What's Going On?

The music takes us places, and to other times, like when 8-track players roamed the Earth! That's part of the story as the guys dig deep in an album by Marvin Gaye that absolutely chanted things in 1971! They revisit the struggle between Gaye and Berry Gordy.

It was more than a song title, it was a question to the universe at that place & time. It's a fun ride!

By 1986, Metallica's assault on the music establishment and eardrums was in full force. Their previous album, Ride The Lightning, had caught the attention of Elektra Records who signed them to an 8 record deal. Though they refused to make videos, weren't on MTV and didn't really release singles, the band gained fans anywhere they played live and through an underground tape trading community. They were establishing thrash metal alongside Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax through constant touring and a relentless lifestyle.

The boys really upped their game on Master of Puppets through stronger vocals from James Hetfield, more punishing riffs and melodic (and sometimes spacey) bass from Cliff Burton. The opener Battery sets the tone for this very influential album before giving way to the 8+ minute title track. True to form, Metallica offered up an instrumental in Orion which was heavily influenced by the classical training of Cliff Burton. Songs about war (Disposable Heroes), fake evangelism (Leper Messiah), insanity Welcome Home (Sanitarium) make for one amazing heavy metal album, the likes of which the world hadn't seen.

We talk about the songs, what they mean in the Metallica catalog, their tour for the record with Ozzy and of course the tragedy in Sweden that took the life of Cliff Burton. From underground band to being featured on Stranger Things, the journey of Master of Puppets is one for the ages.

EPYSODE 71: Story, by Honeybus.

Guest: Honeybus guitarist Colin Hare.

Additional commentary by Uncle Herff.

This week we drop the needle on Story, the lone and luminous album from Honeybus, a band forever linked to one perfect song, yet capable of so much more. Blending baroque pop, pastoral psychedelia, and late-’60s studio ambition, Story captures a moment when British pop was quietly shifting gears. Guitarist Colin Hare joins us with exclusive commentary, sharing firsthand memories of the band’s creative highs, industry frustrations, and the strange afterlife of an album that slipped through the cracks. Story is what happens when the music outlives the moment it was born into.

I hope you dig Story as much as I do.
