The Zero Check

The band's back together for our first recording since... November? WTF.
Mike and his wife had a baby, Richard's been distracted by a lady, Craig's been in limbo, and Steve's been doing whatever he does.
This episode, we discussed:
"Title of Record" by Filter
"Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" by [The] Smashing Pumpkins
"Incredibad" by The Lonely Island
"Mud" by Whiskey Myers
After finally discussing Mellon Collie, all bets are off on whether there'll be an S6E02. The universe might actually implode before we get to record it. We hope not, but who knows, right?
Enjoy!

After some hiatus spurred by life events and such, we're getting back into things! 
This episode, we discussed:
"Seven Crowns and Seven Seals" by Sulphur Aeon
"Streetcore" by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
"Demon Days" by The Gorillaz
"Rum, Sodomy and the Lash" by The Pogues
So, we're going to get the next one recorded, where we finally talk about the album with the song that inspired the name of this podcast! Come back when we get it live.
Enjoy!

I'm sure there are one or two people out in the world who have been patiently awaiting this episode! Delving into the pop icon that is Taylor Swift. Along with a few other notable albums.
This episode, we discussed:
"Red (Taylor's Version)" by Taylor Swift
"Boston" by Boston
"Methodrone" by The Brian Jonestown Massacre
"Self-Titled" by The Presidents of the United States of America
It took a bit more than a week to get this posted because Richard had to do some work travel, spending a week in Northern Ontario, and since returning, life has been busy the past week. But here it is!
Pleased to say Richard's brother is on the path to a recovery and is getting the rehab support he needs. And equally pleased to say that Mike is still married! (Sorry ladies). And Taylor, if you listen to this, that was a joke about Richard being available to date you... he's off the market indefinitely. Besides, it sounds like things are going well for you with Mr. Kelce and we're very happy for you.
Enjoy!
 

We are pleased to say that we are caught up on our existing recorded backlog! This episode was recorded on September 11th, a day of great significance in our modern world. Fortunately, or unfortunately, none of the albums we discuss are of great historical importance.
This episode, we discussed:
"Affirmation" by Savage Garden
"Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" by M83
"The Brown Album" by Primus
"Floodland" by The Sisters of Mercy
We're scheduled to record our next episode Tuesday night, hopefully all goes well and we'll have that published within a week! And in happy news, Mike got married just over a week ago at a lovely ceremony and celebration!
On a sadder note, if you listen to the very end of this episode, Richard makes a comment about getting a checkup if you have any health concerns. His older brother suffered a serious stroke the week before we recorded this episode, and while he's alive and beginning his long road to recovery, it came as a serious shock to his family. He's currently relearning to walk and has what's known as Broca's Aphasia. It's really not a fun time.
Be well, everyone

We're on a roll, and almost out of recorded stuff to edit and post. But just you wait, we have some excellent albums this episode.
This episode, we discussed:
"Tenatious D" by the same
"Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac
"Throwing Copper" by Live
"Now And Again" by The Grapes of Wrath
We'll try and get the next one out maybe late this week, or mid-next week, depending on how Richard's week plays out, and then we have plans to record again next Tuesday. Soon, the trend of hearing things we recorded 6 months ago will end!
Enjoy

Two episodes published in one week? What is this nonsense.
This episode, we discussed:
"B'lieve I'm Goin Down" by Kurt Vile
"Aquarium" by Aqua
"Transmission" by The Tea Party
"Psychic Warfare" by Clutch
The title is buried somewhere in the discussion. Excuse the outdated language.
We have two more recorded after this, and plans to record another next weekend. Hopefully Richard can fool the guys into getting into a regular recording schedule and we might hit 12 episodes by Christmas! (What are the odds of that happening, let's be real)
Enjoy

We're back with 4 more albums for you to experience/revisit/enjoy with fresh ears!
Those albums are:
"Hybrid Theory" by Linkin Park
"Welcome Interstate Managers" by Fountains of Wayne
"The Queen is Dead" by The Smiths
"The 59' Sound" by Gaslight Anthem

We're still trying to get through this backlog, and a mix of life and laziness keeps getting in our way. We'll hit our stride one day ;)
Enjoy

Welcome to a bit of a longer episode to open our *5th* season! The length is partly because Richard left in our banter about Steve's beard and the pleasure that is a good barber shave before we officially intro the episode. And, partly because we had some really great discussion of the albums we chose last episode that stretched on. And on. And on.
Those albums are:
Vince Gauraldi Trio "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
Trans-Siberian Orchestra "Christmas Eve and Other Stories"
Beastie Boys "License to Ill"
Tool "Ænima"

We've said it before, but we're legitimately trying to get through our recorded backlog by September, and aim to get on a regular recording schedule. You can expect a new episode every 2-3 weeks.
 

Emo, horror-punk, singer-songwriter oh my! So, we recorded this episode back in December of 2022, and kept joking about how it would be released in July... Some christmas albums were chosen for the following episode to kick off "Season 5".
In this episode we're talking about:
Imagine Dragons "Evolve"
My Chemical Romance "The Black Parade"
Misfits "American Psycho"
Tori Amos "Under The Pink"
If  you're here for the divergent opinions, skip to what Mike has to say on Tori Amos!
Enjoy.

This was an interesting mix of music and opinions. We all had good things to say about all of the albums - that's as much as can be said.
In this episode we're talking about:
Marcus King "Youngblood"
Led Zeppelin "Houses of The Holy"
In Flames "Colony"
Jewel "Pieces of You"
Spoiler: Jewel's first album is kind of strange, but the singles are great.
Enjoy.
