Rock Talk Happy Hour

This episode, we have another list topic!
We try and name as many bands named after occupations, or bands with occupations in their names, while trying smoothie-style ales.
We also get a bit off topic and start to discuss certain genres of music. Why? I don't know.
Cheers!

We talk what causes them, how to cure them, theories about them, and songs that have caused us to get stuck with an earworm. We go thru a few lists from different studies.
We also try some more craft beers, hear Frank's thoughts on Mudvayne's reunion, learn of Frank's Barbie Girl fantasy, and learn of Kim's fear of getting Rickrolled. Cheers!

This episode, we discuss the surprising announcement of Mudvayne's reunion, BUT,  what does it really mean for the band? We also try some beers and talk nu metal nostalgia. Cheers!

P.S. Happy Birthday, Chad. I guess.

Edit: I missed the details of some references to albums that came after L.D. 50 in the Monolith teaser. It still all seems heavy with L.D. 50 connections tho. -Mario
