Rose-Colored Headphones

Ralph and Michael dig into the original “everybody hates it” album and try to unpack the incredibly negative reaction it received back in 1970. And wouldn’t you know it? It’s actually pretty dope! That’s right, Rose-Colored Headphones is back! Season Two is going to be so good, you guys. We’re definitely not as weird as before. This is a respectable show now. Maybe we’ll even find out why that Unhinged Lunatic is forcing us to do this. But probably not. Anyway, this is a podcast episode about Bob Dylan, which is… maybe something no one’s ever done before? There’s no way to be sure. Later in this episode, Ralph performs “It Hurts Me Too.”

Imagine a season finale where time drifts slowly… a world where music carries you away. Experience our episode about Pure Moods: the perfect soundtrack for your way of life. Also, Ralph and Michael talk about Twin Peaks and the Butthole Surfers. Later, they present an original song in the style of Pure Moods and the unhinged lunatic who forces these guys to make this podcast finally breaks his silence.

Thanks for listening to our first season; we will return! We don't have a choice!

You know we couldn’t make a show like this and not talk about Trans, right? So here we go: Ralph and Michael think you should circle back to Neil Young’s synth-heavy early-eighties opus, and they’d like to raise questions about the nature of “folk” music, lycanthropy, and Neil Young’s reaction to Blade Runner. Also, this podcast’s interstitial music has a mind of its own, Michael uses a vocoder to cover a Neil Young classic, and we end on a cliffhanger!

It’s a prog-stravaganza as Ralph and Michael dive into a polarizing double album by Yes. Michael remembers an overheard comment that saved him from music snobbery, while Ralph extols the virtue of being a dork and learns some surprising trivia about The Buggles. Later, Ralph performs some prog-rock!

On this episode of your favorite PodKast, Ralph and Michael daydream about an MF DOOM movie, plan a Stevie Wonder heist, wonder if Andre 3000 likes King Crimson, and eventually get around to making a case for why you should give OutKast’s final album (and the accompanying film) another chance. Also, Michael misremembers dialogue from the Sun Ra movie and Ralph performs “Idlewild Blue.”

Ralph and Michael think nu-metal and electronic music are a perfect match. With whom should Korn collaborate if they get on this path again? Ralph and Michael have some ideas.

Learn the (in)correct pronunciation of a Pink Floyd roadie’s term for coitus as we delve into this space-rock opus by a band Michael loved in middle school.

Ralph and Michael can barely contain their enthusiasm as they untangle Prince’s jazz-fusion concept album and talk you through the things about it you might find alienating. Plus, Ralph explains how to perform a 2001 Prince song in the style of 1980s Prince.

John and Yoko made a recording of the weirdest foreplay ever. All we are saying is give it a chance. And while you’re at it, give it an interpretive dance. Should you listen to this album on a first date? Ralph and Michael will tell you. Plus, the exclusive world premiere of “Let’s Get a Pizza, Yoko” and an improvisation in the spirit of John and Yoko.

Ralph and Michael dive into the Lil’ Wayne version of rock music. (Michael needed a little bit of convincing on this one.) Plus, Ralph plays “Waynes of All Sizes.” Will he win Michael’s voice on his answering machine? You’ll have to listen to find out. Later, Ralph performs “I’d Die for You.”
