Massive SPOILERS for this movie right away, so do yourself a favor and go see it!

One Battle After Another, the new film by Paul Thomas Anderson, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infinity, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro, is EASILY my favorite film of 2025.

Hello everyone for Episode #21 of Playback! This week we are diving into OASIS! Now that their spectacular reunion tour is underway (which Brandon got to see at The Rose Bowl) we figured now was a great time to dive into their classic 2nd album - (What's The Story) Morning Glory?

Brandon and I are both newbies to the Oasis canon, and this is actually the first album we've done on the show that NEITHER of us was familiar with beforehand. We go a little rough on this album, but I think we give it all its due praise as well. It's a rare, nuanced take from the Playback boys. Enjoy this episode, and please comment below what you think!

Today, we are joined by Kyle Clark of the This Is Rad Podcast to discuss the amazingly underappreciated album THE MOLLUSK by WEEN. We quickly discuss the history of the band, as well as what makes their particular brand of genre-jumping hilarity work so well, despite not being a "comedy band." We break down all the great tracks on The Mollusk and debate whether this is even the best Ween album to have this discussion on.

All in all, this was an incredibly fun episode. Please like, subscribe, and join our Patreon page. Also, please check out Kyle Clark and all his RAD projects below:

On today's much too long episode of Playback, we dive into the mystical world of Lee "Scratch" Perry, and the masterpiece HEART OF THE CONGOS!

We talk about The Black Ark recording studio that Perry built in his backyard yard which was covered from top to bottom in mystical writings, sculptures, and painted symbols. We demonstrate the effects and techniques he employed to achieve such a murky, magical sound like the one featured on Heart of the Congos.

We also talk about the cadre of unbelievable musicians that Perry had at his disposal for this album, and discuss exactly how sound of mind Perry was when it ultimately came to burning down his own studio.

00:17:46 (Who is Lee "Scratch" Perry?)

Today we're so excited to present our interview with the legendary SCIENTIST!

Hopeton Overton Brown (also known as Scientist) grew up working in and around some of the most remarkable studios in Jamaica under the tutelage of "Coxone" Dodd, King Tubby, and has mixed some of the most renowned albums in Jamaican history.

In addition to his mix work, Scientist also produced a string of some of the greatest dub albums of all time in the 80s. Thanks to our dear friend ⁨@DUBROBOT⁩ , the four of us were able to have a wide-ranging discussion about mixing, Wailing Souls, King Tubby, and the recording industry.

This is an edited-down version of our conversation. For the full unedited interview, be sure to join our Patreon page at the $5 tier.

Much of this discussion pertains to our episode on Fire House Rock by The Wailing Souls. Be sure to watch that episode below:

Today on Playback, we dive into our fourth album of reggae summer - Fire House Rock by Wailing Souls.

In this discussion, we use Fire House Rock as a jumping-off point to discuss one of the greatest production teams ever assembled, which we are dubbing "The Four Horsemen." The Hoo Kim Brothers and their legendary recording studio Channel One, Henry "Junjo" Lawes, Scientist, and Roots Radics. Together, these four, alongside Wailing Souls, created one of the most beautiful reggae albums in the entire canon.

We break down the studio, the engineers, the producers, the mix, the musicians, and the songwriting. This is a heavy, deep dive into Fire House Rock.

Leave a comment below, and please like and share this episode!

What do you think of Channel One? Greatest recording studio in Jamaican history?
