Once in a blue moon, we take our Cessna plane to far off lands to dissect other media that’s band-centric. This week on Side Project, James and Peat get bulked up on the Paleo diet while talking DINOSAURS! What started as a silly idea to watch prehistoric abominations of religion play in a band quickly morphed into some sharp social commentary about racial prejudice, predatory record labels and sexual harassment in the workplace. What??!! It’s true! Perhaps we were too young to appreciate the dark satire that this short-lived sitcom offered. But, we are definitely here to appreciate it now with adult, musician eyes. 

Robbie helps a band of mammals score a recording contract, only to find out that - SPOILER ALERT -

music labels have been screwing over clients since Pangea. We get four banger songs in this episode accompanied by some sick puppetry, courtesy of the unmatched Jim Henson. James confesses this show shaped his entire worldview and Peat is worried about the morbidly obese patriarch of the Dino family. We’ll be back next week with the final two episodes of California Dreams season 2! See you at Sharkey’s!

Next Episode: California Dreams - 2x17 “Dirty Dog Days” (Special Jenny Episode!)
