The Chartographers

Did someone call the paparazzi on us? 'cos after crossing 5000 plays, the Chartographers have decided to celebrate by putting out one dynamite little Happy Hour Minisode dedicated to Gaga herself. Evan, Taran, and special guest Michael Kaluzny talk about Gaga's worst song, her best fashion choices, her WTF Artpop introduction to the world (floaties!) and her many accolade-driven extracurriculars. You may want to give this episode a nice round of applause. /// Our theme song for this episode is "World Girl Reprise" by Kyle Hollingsworth, off of his 2014 album SPEED OF LIFE, available on SCI Fidelity here [ itunes.apple.com/us/album/speed-o…life/id906219328 ]

GA GA OOH-LA-LA. Yes, it's time for Mother Monster's meat-ready freakness to be known to the world, which is why Evan, Taran, and special guest Michael Kaluzny have banded together to rank Lady Gaga's albums from worst to the edge of glory. So put down that telephone and put your pink cowboy hat on: we're gonna make a bad romance. /// Our theme song for this episode is "Bad Touch" by The Marches, off of their debut album 4AM IS THE NEW MIDNIGHT, available on Satellite/Star Records here [ itunes.apple.com/bs/album/4-a.m.-…ight/id287331856 ]

The lion & the lamb are listenin' to a podcast -- or at least that's what we hear. Yes, Evan, Taran, and special guest Kerida O'Reilly just finished ranking the works of Iron & Wine, so get into the weeds of Sam Beam's worst song, his wildly varying abilities as a live performer, and so much more. Grab a friend, kiss each other clean, and enjoy the ride! /// Our theme song for this episode is "World Girl Reprise" by Kyle Hollingsworth, off of his 2014 album SPEED OF LIFE, available on SCI Fidelity here [ itunes.apple.com/us/album/speed-o…life/id906219328 ]

Um ... it's been one year?

How the heck did that happen? We've seriously been posting for an entire year? The day we post this is literally a year since we started with our Beyonce episode? That's crazy. So crazy that Evan, Taran, and most-frequent guest Jon Harvey talk about their favorite eps, share a few wackadoo stories, and Jon Harvey provides fatherly advice any potential future guests.

Thank you all for making this happen! /// Our theme song for this episode is "World Girl Reprise" by Kyle Hollingsworth, off of his 2014 album SPEED OF LIFE, available on SCI Fidelity here [ itunes.apple.com/us/album/speed-o…life/id906219328 ]

You don't have to be a trapeze swinger to realize just how dexterous the task is that we took on here: Evan, Taran, and returning guest Kerida O'Reilly tackle Sam Beam's massive, looping discography and take it out for a backwoods spin, ranking from Jesus the Mexican Boy to Jezebel herself. (Also, don't tell anyone, but this is our 50th episode!) /// Our theme song for this episode is "Bad Touch" by The Marches, off of their debut album 4AM IS THE NEW MIDNIGHT, available on Satellite/Star Records here [ itunes.apple.com/bs/album/4-a.m.-…ight/id287331856 ]

This ain't no party! This ain't no disco! This ain't no ... well, actually it's a LOT of fooling around. Yes, Evan, Taran, and New Millennium Theatre Company's Ali Keirn have finished deciding which album is better, and now live a wild, wild life as they debate the worst Talking Heads song, discuss the terrible non-Byrne Talking Heads albums, go into great depth about STOP MAKING SENSE and so much more! We got a podcast that's better than that. /// Our theme song for this episode is "World Girl Reprise" by Kyle Hollingsworth, off of his 2014 album SPEED OF LIFE, available on SCI Fidelity here [ itunes.apple.com/us/album/speed-o…life/id906219328 ]

You may find yourself ... living in a shotgun shack. And you may find yourself ... listening to this great podcast! That's right, Evan, Taran, and New Millennium Theatre Company's Ali Keirn go crosseyed and painless trying to rank the discography of David Byrne's main band and definitely not the Tom Tom Club. From the album that belongs in a swamp to a disc so good it makes you not want to trust the government, make flippy floppy with us as we rank the greats! /// Our theme song for this episode is "Bad Touch" by The Marches, off of their debut album 4AM IS THE NEW MIDNIGHT, available on Satellite/Star Records here [ itunes.apple.com/bs/album/4-a.m.-…ight/id287331856 ]

Babes, we're gonna leave you ... with a great wrapup to our Led Zeppelin journey! Yes, Evan, Taran, and Phantom Roar's Phil O'Reilly get out on the tiles for this one, discussion the worst Led Zeppelin song, their crazy and brilliant manager, the art of trashing a hotel room, and yes, settle that mudshark question once and for all. /// Our theme song for this episode is "World Girl Reprise" by Kyle Hollingsworth, off of his 2014 album SPEED OF LIFE, available on SCI Fidelity here [ itunes.apple.com/us/album/speed-o…life/id906219328 ]

Oh yes, this is our last stand. Evan, Taran, and Phantom Roar's Phil O'Reilly are doing the impossible: going in through the out door and coming out with the best Led Zeppelin album of all time. By the end, you may just want to throw a celebration day of your own ... /// Our theme song for this episode is "Bad Touch" by The Marches, off of their debut album 4AM IS THE NEW MIDNIGHT, available on Satellite/Star Records here [ itunes.apple.com/bs/album/4-a.m.-…ight/id287331856 ]

You wanted the best, you got the best ... it's not KISS! Actually, it's Led Zeppelin, and Evan, Taran, and Phantom Roar's songwriter/guitarist Phil O'Reilly got together to rank the Bonzo band's albums from worst to best. From horn dog Elvis impersonations to Tolkein-indebted lyrics, you may find yourself left with a ranking that's totally not dazed or confusing. /// Our theme song for this episode is "Bad Touch" by The Marches, off of their debut album 4AM IS THE NEW MIDNIGHT, available on Satellite/Star Records here [ itunes.apple.com/bs/album/4-a.m.-…ight/id287331856 ]
