May 28, 2020 BEASTIE BOYS - Ill Communication
I want to say a little something that's long overdue: It’s Beastie Boys week on the Throwback Pod. The guys travel back to 1994 to revisit Ill Communication, the album that returned the NYC hip hop legends to superstar status. The guys also discuss Dan’s enhanced efforts on the promotional front and Bob shares a playlist to take you *out* of the mood.

May 14, 2020 MAY '96 - TOP 10 COUNTDOWN
Twenty-four years ago Bob and Dan were high school sophomores, bands like Oasis, Soundgarden, and Goldfinger were climbing the charts, and human beings were group-hugging and triple-kissing like there was no tomorrow. Turns out, that was as good as it gets. Let's go back in time to our 1950's -- the 1990's -- and check out the Top 10 Modern Rock tracks from this week in 1996.

May 07, 2020 THE STROKES - First Impressions Of Earth
The Strokes are back! Their new album, The New Abnormal, is not just the only good thing to happen in 2020, but it's also one-way-triggered Bob and Dan into revisiting Julian & The Boys' old catalog. Which brings us to First Impressions Of Earth, their divisive 2006 LP that either signaled an exciting new direction for the lo-fi NY rockers, or the beginning of the end. Or maybe both? How does this album hold up, and how does it sound now knowing the Strokes still had some gas left in the tank? Let's figure that out. But first, we've got to travel back to '06, a simpler time when the only social distancing that took place was Drew Barrymore trying to get as far away from Dan as possible.

April 23, 2020 NINE INCH NAILS - The Downward Spiral
Dan is turning 40 and the guys are back in the garage -- six-feet apart, of course -- to revisit the album that made Trent Reznor your girlfriend's secret goth weirdo rock star sex god. Deadbolt the doors on Cielo Drive, join the march of pigs and move yourself closer to God. Let's take the downward spiral together.

April 16, 2020 JEWEL - Pieces Of You
The album: Pieces Of You. The artist: Jewel. The audio: not great, but considering this was our first 2-Garage remote podcast, c'mon, cut us some slack! This week, the guys are drinking alone, together, and listening to the "Courtney & Wyatt's Choice" Patreon-poll winning Pieces Of You from beginning to end for the first time ever. Will the conversation about Alaska's folk-singing superstar devolve into a shallow debate about who deserves a spot on 90's "Mount Babe-more"? C'mon, cut us some more slack!

March 31, 2020 EVERYBODY DANCE NOW - 90's Pop Bangers Vol. 1
Pump Up The Jam? Why yes, we will. This week we're transforming the rented garage into a rented Middle School Auditorium circa 1992. Our moms have bought us some rad rayon shirts and we're totally psyched to do the running man to the biggest pop/Eurodance hits from the early 90's. From C&C Music Factory to Technotronic to Ace Of Base to Haddaway, let's party right up until that Ford Taurus station wagon takes us home. You guys want some cameos?

March 24, 2020 PEARL JAM - Vs.
The guys are back in the sterilized garage (a safe distance apart, of course) to tackle Pearl Jam's smash sophomore album, Vs. Let's go back to 1993, when Dan and Bob were social distancing by accident and Meatloaf was responsible for 7-minute erections. Escape is never the safest path -- but c'mon, what else do you have going on?

February 27, 2020 COUNTING CROWS - August and Everything After
Episode 100! Here we are! Thanks to all the Patreonies and people out there for making this happen! To celebrate, Dan and Bob are going to (a) burn down the garage, and (b) push play on the album that helped transform these two average 8th graders (slash-below-average-soccer-players) into award-winning Bosom Buddies. [Adam Duritz 'Rain King' Howl]: Yeahhhhhhh!

February 21, 2020 THE WHITE STRIPES - White Blood Cells
Episode 99 returns the guys to the epicenter of the Garage Rock Revival of 2001. The White Stripes. White Blood Cells. Anti-Venom to The Durst Virus. Bob almost talks about how important this album was to his “maturation” process. Dan is convinced he’s a better drummer than Meg White. Join us for the ride. I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

February 13, 2020 GOO GOO DOLLS - Dizzy Up The Girl
Goo Heads rejoice: your favorite band from Buffalo won a Patreon Poll (patreon.com/throwbackpod) which means they're getting the Throwback treatment this week! Let's go back to 1998 when upstate NY's finest scored a multiplatinum LP featuring LITERALLY the biggest song of the decade -- which somehow isn't even the best song on the album. Just ask Maude.
