Bonus Content: Time for our "Best of 2024" clip show! Part one of our year-end roundup features the funniest, wildest, and most memorable moments from the past year of Six Picks Music Club. Buckle up for a greatest hits collection of hot takes, cold burns, and everything that made us say "wait, did we really air that?"

Episode 031: As the curtain falls on 2024, we pause to remember some of the musical giants who took their final bow this year. Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave for a heartfelt tribute to six influential artists who shaped the soundtrack of our lives. We're honoring the experimental genius of Can's Damo Suzuki, the southern rock virtuosity of The Allman Brothers' Dickey Betts, and the masterful storytelling of songwriter Kris Kristofferson. We also pay tribute to DIY punk hero Flea Bodine of Judge Nothing, celebrate the groundbreaking bass lines of The Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh, and remember the incomparable Quincy Jones, the mastermind behind countless hits including Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." Between these musical memorials, Geoff shares some surprisingly entertaining stories about his recent misadventures in self-injury. Because even in our most reverent episodes, there's always room for a laugh. Join us as we raise a glass to these legends and the timeless music they left behind.

Episode 030: It's our dirty thirty, and we're celebrating with a show that'll have you clapping... and maybe visiting your doctor! This week on Six Picks Music Club, we're exploring songs featuring hand claps AND the other kind of clap (you know, the one that burns when you pee). Join us as we groove to the infectious beats (pun intended) of John Cougar Mellencamp, The Flaming Lips, and AM Taxi, while trying not to catch whatever Screeching Weasel, AC/DC, and U2 are spreading around. Between doses of antibiotics and clap beats, Geoff, Dave, and Russ dive into the etymology of the word "business," debate the merits of various prophylactics, and somehow manage to work in some holiday cheer.

Remember kids: wrap it before you clap it!

Episode 029: Take a deep breath, fellow music lovers—no, seriously, BREATHE. After the chaos of election season and the general dumpster fire that's been the past few months, Six Picks Music Club is prescribing a much-needed audio chill pill. Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave as they guide you through a meditative journey from stress to serenity. We're starting with the zen mastery of Cat Stevens, the hypnotic grooves of Spoon, and the soulful tranquility of City and Colour to help lower those blood pressure numbers. Once we've achieved maximum chill, we'll gradually lift our spirits with the enlightened vibes of Ceschi, the soul-stirring guitar of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the euphoric sounds of Broken Social Scene. Between deep breaths and meditation tips, the guys find time to contemplate the erasure of the future (heavy, man) and share what might be the greatest middle school insult ever recorded. Consider this episode your musical Xanax—minus the prescription and potential side effects.

Remember: inhale through the music, exhale through the bullsh!t. Namaste, f*ckers.

Episode 027: Grab your Rubik's Cube and slip into those leg warmers, because this week on Six Picks Music Club, we're totally tubular with our radical rundown of 1980s One Hit Wonders! Geoff, Dave, and Russ are busting out their finest Members Only jackets to bring you a gnarly selection of tunes that'll have you reaching for your Aqua Net. We're talking about the bands that burned brighter than neon and faded faster than your acid-washed jeans! Get ready to take on A-ha's "Take On Me" without needing to jump into any pencil-sketched worlds. We'll be walking on sunshine with Katrina & the Waves, spinning right round (baby, right round) with Dead or Alive, and don't worry - we promise not to make you listen to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" on repeat like your local radio station did back in '88. But wait, there's more! We're blasting off with Peter Schilling's "Major Tom," proving that space was the place in the 80s. And of course, what would a trip back to the 80s be without doing the Safety Dance with Men Without Hats? As if that weren't enough to overload your Walkman, the guys dive into a totally mental discussion about the lyrics of some classic songs that'll have you saying, "Gag me with a spoon!" So, flip up your collar, grab a New Coke, and settle in for an episode that's more jam-packed than your Trapper Keeper. It's time to party like it's 1985 on Six Picks Music Club!
