Somehow Van Halen keeps coming up, and is 100% relevant each time. Also, the idiots run into the first great St. Vincent song. Covered: “Actor Out of Work,” “Black Rainbow,” and “Laughing With a Mouth of Blood.”

Some unfortunate microphone problems can’t stop the idiots from exposing the truth about the first 3 songs on Actor. The truth is that they’re good. Songs: “The Strangers,” “Save Me From What I Want,” and “The Neighbors.”

Chad and Keith kick off Season 2 with an overview of St. Vincent and a wide focus on her first album, Marry Me. Also: a surprising amount of somehow-on-topic discussion of James Bond.

Chad and Keith rank the Beatles. And talk about the end of Uncle Tupelo. What’s next? Songs covered: “High Water,” “No Use in Lovin’,” and “Steal the Crumbs.”

The idiots prepare to start landing the plane, both with Anodyne and Uncle Tupelo. Also: being Zappa-Curious. Songs covered: “Anodyne,” “We’ve Been Had,” and “15 Keys.”

Into the throbbing heart of Anodyne! Uncle Tupelo’s creative peak, plus carrot juice and who’s ride or die for Dune (1984). Songs covered: “Give Back the Key To My Heart,” “Chickamauga,” and “New Madrid”

Anodyne time! With a minute or two of missing audio and a clarification: Roy Acuff appeared on Hee Haw, but wasn’t a regular. Songs covered: “Slate,” “Acuff-Rose,” and “The Long Cut.”

The idiots close out March 16-20 by wading through the B-sides and bonus tracks. LISTEN ALL THE WAY TO THE END! Songs covered: “Take My Word,” “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” “The Waltons Theme,” and some album-track demos.

IMPORTANT: KP’s beef is with band stickers on guitars, not in any way with the Clash, who rule. Songs covered: “Fatal Wound,” “Sandusky,” and “Wipe the Clock.”

Three Christian, non-UT songs on the back side of March 16-20: “Atomic Power,” “Lilli Schull,” and “Warfare.”
