We explore the red, the black, and everything in between Blue Oyster Cult's "Tyranny and Mutation" with legendary bass player – and all-around good dude – Mike Watt (Minutemen, Firehose, The Stooges…) Hear Mike break down this surreal hard rock oddity and describe the effect this 1973 record had on him and best friend D. Boon while Barry and Rob do their best to keep up. When the stories are this good, sometimes you just have to shut up and listen…

We sat down with Nice Guy/Guitar God Juan Montoya (Moon Destroys, MonstrO, Torche, Killer Be Killed) to discuss a record that kept his teenage self up at night, Van Halen's 1981 release "Fair Warning". Widely considered their "darkest" record, it's the sound of a band breaking apart at the seams, as guitar virtuoso and control-freak Eddie Van Halen attempts to wrestle his namesake band from the clutches of David Lee life-of-the-party Roth.

The Ramones fourth album was supposed to be the one that brought them mainstream success - stadium tours, luxury condos, champagne and limousines. Guess what happened? It didn't sell as well as Rocket To Russia, despite the presence of the obvious(?) radio hit "I Wanna Be Sedated," and the upgraded rhythmic pulse provided by new addition Marky Ramone.

Returning guest and co-host of "The Muck Podcast" Hillary Dougherty went to her metaphorical tool shed to help us crack open the case of Fiona Apple's mind-blowing new release "Fetch the Bolt Cutters". As usual we did our best to keep up, and luckily no proverbial shins were kicked under the table - this time…
