Zone-casts: The Echo Chamber

This week, the Echo Crew really didn't prepare a topic to discuss. So it's a random grab bag of weird stuff! Topics include: Katy Perry/Glee, Pandering to the Gays, Salacious Melodies, "Safe Bands", Billy Joe Armstrong's Meltdown, making fun of AnimeCow, An Attempt at Writing a New Song About Solo Cups, International Music's Influence on American Music (and Vice Versa), Terrible Couplets, and more?

This week, we're talking music videos! The Echo Crew seems to really like music videos, since this is easily the longest episode yet! Topics include: AnimeCow mocks Ellen Degeneres, Cigar Solos, Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, David Cross and the Chipmunks, Mystakin's Thomas Dolby phase, creepy puppets, Limos That Are Too Long, RANDOM RAP, and more!

This week, the Echo Crew discusses songs they like bands they hate! Yes, it's a flip on what happened two episodes ago. Topics include: Super Smash Bros., Nickelback changed Mystakin's life, a random spoken version of Flo Rida's "Low", DRINK, Fergie shows up at Jeff's house, tigers jumping into the water, Nommy-gramminated, Pink Floyd can write some damn lyrics, and more! WARNING: There's a lot of singing in this episode.

This week The Echo Crew gets Blitzed! Rock Band Blitz just came out, and since everyone on the show works on the Rock Band Network it only makes sense that they talk about their experience with it and their take on the soundtrack. Topics include: the useless tutorial, Paolo's dad is a southern belle, AnimeCow's favorite song in the game isn't in the game, overused E3 game trailer songs, COINS, Facebook apps that are on Facebook, an infomercial fantasy, Harmonix advocates drunk driving, and more!

Hey, the entire Echo Crew showed up this week! In this episode they cover bad songs by good artists, because even your favorite bands drops a crappy record every now and then. Topics include: "Hey Jude", Dubstep Muse, back to front, indie people like Radiohead, war sucks, Nickelback ripping off Nickelback, a jock song done by nerds, and more!

This week The Echo Crew sells out! You knew they'd do anything for the Ozone Bucks(TM). AnimeCow isn't present, so he's not getting in on these sweet deals. His loss. Topics include: doing drugs on a Carnival Cruise, Green Day is a 4-man band, Metallica cashing in, Paolo's mom, Jeff's Of Montreal cover band, a stereo interruption, music prodouching, and more!

This week, it's all about Auto-Tune! You know, that thing cheaters use to cheat. The Echo Crew sit down and discuss their views on this piece of technology, which they personally would never use. Topics include: Cher believes in life after love, AnimeCow can't tell the difference between pre- and post-production, the Milli Vanilli scandal, Britney Spears in tight spandex, Auto-Tune the News, Hamtaro inventing Auto-Tune, Skato-Tune, Glee music creating kidney stones, and more!

This week the Echo Crew is down to three again. And no, AnimeCow does not randomly show up this time. In this episode the dynamic trio discusses Pop music! Topics include: Their high salary working on this podcast, the Clear Channel monopoly, Green Day as pop punk, kids getting into music early, Katy Perry (Jeff is fired), Chumbawumba's BACK back catalog, Gotye being a pirate, and more!

Have you ever heard or said the phrase "I listen to everything except country/rap"? The Echo Crew have. This week they delve into why you should open up your musical taste and stop being a generalizing jerk. Topics include: Breaking news from Mystakin's mom, Rhythm Bastard gets cock-blocked by Nickleback, Jeff rides the Internet Super Highway for answers, Post-Shania Country, Malcolm X punching people in the face, CowPunk, and more! BONUS: Stay tuned at the end for outtakes!

In this episode, the Echo Crew is missing two members until AnimeCow magically shows up 9 minutes into the show out of nowhere. Don't ask how or why. After that, the Crew discusses covers! Topics include: Weird Al is awesome, Cow hates Bob Dylan, Rhythm Bastard forgets Beatles lyrics, Jeff sings Marilyn Manson, Mystakin stalls forever, and more!
