This week we talk about the Riot Grrrl and Seattle Grunge movement, focusing on the rise of political virtuosos "Bikini Kill" and the tragic sudden ending of "The Gits" just as they were on the verge of stardom.
We also discuss the tragic passing of prolific producer and musician, Steve Albini.

In this episode we discuss Coheed and Cambria's 2007 progressive/emo/metal fusion concept album with a title so long I won't write it twice. We've got soaring guitars, obscenely catchy choruses, and vaguely incomprehensible science fiction space opera lyrics sung in a piercing yet effortless tenor.
Then, we tackle the epidemic of musician biopic movies by going through critical and audience receptions of some of the biggest names to receive the treatment.
Also discussed: Beat Saber, Shogun, Three Body Problem, Jethro Tull, Everything But the Girl, Daft Punk, Museums, and Bicycles (I want to ride my!)

In this episode we travel back to 1992 and join Faith No More as they deprive themselves of sleep, denounce the evils of capitalistic exploitation, and extol the virtues of healthy competition and energetic oral stimulation.
Chris then walks us through the time capsule that is Kerrang!'s top 50 albums of all time (circa 2003) and we discover that, damn, 1991 was a great year for music. Austin also mixes up Lynyrd Skynyrd for CCR and makes himself a life-long enemy of southern rock fans.
Also mentioned in this episode: Del the Funky Homosapien, The Breeders, Pixies, School of Fish, Incubus, Paul Verhoeven, and Kyuss

In this episode, the fellas discuss a 90s Brit pop classic, much maligned on it's release and essentially disowned by the band today. Does 90s teenage angst still ring true 31 years later?
Yes, yes it does. The world is in shambles! What are you thinking?
Also mentioned in this episode: TEKE:TEKE, Roger Waters, R.E.M., Soundgarden, System of a Down, Deftones, Blur, and more

In this first episode, Chris and Austin embark on their journey to listen to every album ever made... very slowly... through their music equivalent of a book club.
The fellas chose to start in familiar territory, with a controversial album by an even more controversial but much beloved artist. Can the freedom of radio overcome the powers that be? Is the tide finally turning? Can pure-strain artistry transcend some of the most abysmal studio production the 80s ever produced? Find out all that and more in this inaugural episode.
