Pop/Rock

Okay, so don’t freak out, but celebrity guests Bobby and Vicki join the boys for this, a Very Special Episode of Pop/Rock. With the full family assembled, the Jefts discuss the Gregg Allman Band’s 1988 studio album Just Before the Bullets Fly. The 80s were kind of a weird time, and this is kind of a weird album, but hey—that’s America, baby!

Cloud Strife. Dill the PA. Oteil Burbridge. This episode is a character-driven narrative, as well as a multi-media journey through ringtones, video games, men’s haircuts, ancient theoretical texts, and—most importantly—the DVD release of the Allman Brothers Band’s 40th Anniversary Show. Come! Let our voices be the gasoline that powers your automobile.

BUCKLE UP, because in this episode of Pop/Rock, the boys: A) discuss MGMT’s stellar album Oracular Spectacular, B) reconcile about the time they ruined Christmas, and C) examine the ways they could’ve been better brothers to each other throughout their childhood. It’s a real wild ride, a journey from Alaska to Florida to every post office in between.

Time is a circle, everybody. This week, the fellas discuss Gregg Allman's 2011 studio album Low Country Blues. Also: a very good game with Megan, a conversation about favorite kinds of roads, and some thoughts about Peaches. Like and subscribe!

Folks, it’s time to begin our long journey through Allman Brothers Valley, and our first stop is the solo-rich 2015 album Gregg Allman Live: Back to Macon, GA. Also included: a visit to Literature Corner, the long-anticipated Album Draft, and a shocking revelation about Allman’s first wife. We guarantee this episode will be the finest thing since black-eyed peas.

In this STAR-STUDDED episode of Pop/Rock, the boys discuss the Alligator Records 20th Anniversary Collection, as well as the associated tour. Also, Bobby finds an ingenious new way to alter the course of Pop/Rock. But for now: slip on your innuendo helmets, folks, cuz it’s time for some Boner Jazz of the highest order.

Wow everybody, Alabama Shakes’ Sound & Color is a real slam-dunk of an album. It’s a little hard to tell, because a lot of this one centers around Chuck Palahniuk and the bowling alley/bar/bingo parlor in Eagle River, but trust us, it’s great. Also, this episode features calls to not one but TWO unique dads. Get into it!

The boys ostensibly review the Alabama Shakes album Boys & Girls, but frankly they spend a lot of time compiling a list of hard-hitting questions to ask their parents. Also, Shawn walks Cameron through the treasure hunt he used to propose to Gina! Anyway, Boys & Girls is a very good album.

The boys review Aerosmith’s ‘Honkin’ On Bobo’ album, and they ask the essential questions: 1) Who or what is Bobo?, 2) What does it mean to “honk” on Bobo?, and 3) What are the strengths and weakness of each Mexican restaurant in Eagle River, Alaska? We really lost the thread on this one, but hey, it’s a fun ride.

Real weird start to this one, folks, but about five minutes in the boys get back on track to discuss Aerosmith’s 1998 live album, A Little South of Sanity. What happens when you glob together a live album from different performances in different tours? A real wild ride, that’s what! Also, did you know there was an Aerosmith video game? It lived in a haunted movie theater in Anchorage.
