So bust out your pocket calculator, download the ep and let us narrate your trip down the Autobahn of life.

  • 3.2: Cibo Matto

    How well do you know your chicken? What's the perfect birthday cake recipe? (Hint: it involves MSG) Is white pepper ice cream sweet or spicy? Cibo Matto is out here packing more food references into a single album than most bands do in a career. While often pigeonholed as the "food band," we found an intriguing depth behind the wacky lyrics and came away satiated after consuming their entire catalogue.

  • 2.13: MC Hammer

    Get to know the man behind (inside?) the pants. It's Hammer Time here on the pod. This week, we track the career of one Stanley Kirk Burrell, better know as MC Hammer, from his days with the Oakland A's, to the top of the charts, all the way through his many internet beefs and questionable album covers.
