A sixth-grade music homework assignment finally pays off as the idiots confront the Hendrix Enigma

The idiots make the very belated realization that Blondie was a very good band.

The newly-crowned Kings of Canada listen to Steve Earle’s landmark mix tape

Chad and Keith hang out in the parking lot in their Trans Ams drinking Coors Light and cranking out as much Van Halen and Van Hagar as you can handle

The idiots get kooky, get replaced by homo superior, search for life on Mars, and all that as they dig into David Bowie’s first great album.

The idiots head up into the hollow/holler to talk about Loretta Lynn’s 2004 collabo with Jack White, Van Lear Rose

Things get tttttripppppy as the idiots try to get a handle on the Flaming Lips’ controlled (and then not) psychedalia on The Soft Bulletin (1999)

New era, new format for the idiots as they stumble around the Covid wasteland and take turns picking albums to examine in depth. First up: Public Enemy’s landmark It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988)

The idiots close out Actor and digress a little more then usual. Ever wondered how to tell what gender a kitten is? Covered: “Just the Same But Brand New” and “The Sequel.”

The idiots confront hard truths about transitional albums, and tell the tale of the time Annie Clark made Omaha weird. Covered: “Marrow,” “The Bed,” and “The Party.”
