It's one of the most influential American compositions of post-war avant-garde music; or, depending on who you ask, it's a bunch of artsy-fartsy BS. We dissect this minimalist classic on this week's episode and along the way we dive into the Zen Buddhism philosophy that inspired the piece, Mike rails against art and higher education, and we do a cover of 4'33 ourselves!

We delve into the bro-iest of metalcore (brocore) acts on this week's episode as we dissect the Emmure classic "R2deepthroat." It's not about what you think it is, which may or may not be a good thing. Also we discuss why 4 former band members once quit the band at the same time, and we learn a lot about the unfortunate life of Gary the construction worker.

We kick off an exciting new year of bad music with almost certainly the most racist song we've ever covered. Rapper Hopsin describes, complete with a fake accent that would make Mickey Rooney blush,  his sexual encounter at an Asian massage parlor in "Happy Ending" and we break down all of the reasons why someone should have recommended he write a song about literally anything else.

We foolishly stumble into the Culture Wars on this week's episode and discuss the increasingly-seen-as-problematic holiday classic "Baby, it's Cold Outside." Has this song actually been describing sexual harassment this whole time, or is it just being misconstrued in today's climate? Either way, you'll definitely agree we're not the most qualified people to be discussing it.

For our heartwarming Christmas episode we dissect John Denver, a legendary folk musician who somehow did a Christmas album with the Muppets while also recording another Christmas album involving alcoholism and childhood trauma. We dive into the history of this song (and its songwriter(s)) and along the way we attempt to piece together the sordid details of the characters in this dark, sad, festive jingle. Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy almost-Thanksgiving! And what better way to celebrate than by hearing a classic song from the early-60's that tells the HORRIFYING story about why a young Rex Allen really should listen to his pop and stay away from the Indians. You wouldn't think the narrator from The Incredible Journey could so casually write a song involving this much murder and greek-tragedy-esque plot twists, but Tyrana-horny Rex has quite a few surprises hidden under that massive cowboy hat of his.
