Last time on the pod we discussed Erykah's left brain album and today we have it's counterpart in her right brain album, New Amerykah Pt. 2, that arrived two years after New Amerykah Pt. 1. While it continues to have mixes from some of the best underground producers in the game, this one gets a little more personal. In "Return of the Ankh", she dissects all of her relationships--with her lovers, with her fans, with money, and with herself; and creates a hip hop classic while doing so.

Today we're talking about none other than the First Lady of Neo Soul. If you've ever wondered how hip hop of the 2010s got so groovy, look no further than New Amerykah. With her eclectic style and taste in music, she brings us everything from 70s funk to 90s R&B and everything in-between. After a several year hiatus due to writer's block, Erykah, with the help of some of hip-hops best producers, she came back strong with this record and remains somewhere near the top of mount hip-hop.

100 - 300 samples. That's how many songs, give or take, that went into the production of Beastie Boys' sophomore opus, "Paul's Boutique". After getting run through the music industry, sold as frat rap, and having a less than fly time in New York after their brush with success. After a few years, they escaped New York, saved by The Dust Brothers out in LA. The rest, is hip hop history.
Today we have back video game aficionado, musician, and friend of Dave, Moses Wolfenstein!!!

Courtney Love. A woman plagued by tragedy and misogyny, tabloid and conspiracy. She has been called a lot things over the years, some by friends, many by the media. She has had beefs with the likes of Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan, Gwen Stefani, and Tori Amos, to name a few. However, one thing is certain. She is a force to be reckoned with. Today we're discussing the album that came out less than a week after Kurt Cobain's tragic passing, and a few months before the passing of their own bassist, Kristen Pfaff. "Live Through This" has become infamous for the tragedy that surrounds it, as well as the prophetic nature of the lyrics, and became one of the most important albums of the 90's.
We're joined by one of my favorite Madison bands (although these days they're a Madison AND New York band), Damsel Trash!!! We have Emily Mills, who is also in Little Red Wolf and Line -- and Meghan Rose, Little Red Wolf alum and musical composer for such musicals as "Held" and "Xena: Warrior Musical"!!!

Today we talk about the GOAT of sports video games. In 1999, a man by the name of Hawk cashed in all of his clout for one game that would change the landscape of games forever... and its music. We're talking about the soundtrack that introduced a generation to bands like Dead Kennedys, Primus, The Vandals, and Goldfinger, to name a few. This soundtrack, and the rest of the soundtracks in the series still resonate to this day with skaters, punks, and music lovers alike. It's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1, the soundtrack...
Today we're joined again by Robert Persinger, AKA The Drop King, contributor to podcasts like Doughboys and The Action Boyz, and current Flagrant One.

"Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you
Who do wrong things
And many of them were driven to these crimes
By a horrible force called MUSIC!
Our studies have shown that this horrible force
Is so dangerous to society at large
That laws are being drawn up at this very moment
To stop it - forever!
Cruel and inhuman punishments are being carefully described
In tiny paragraphs
So they won't conflict with the Constitution...
Which, itself, is being modified in order to accommodate
The future!
I bring you now a special presentation
To show what can happen to you
If you choose a career in music"-The Central Scrutinizer
Today we have on frequent reference of the show and lifelong Zappa fanatic, Nick (aka the coworker that Jon is always talking about)!

Ok, so it's Brad... back from LA... Jumbo's Fun Room didn't work out and now I'm in the doghouse... Jon and Dave picked the album after they found out that I was coming back as host, so... you can only guess who the unwelcome guest is... Anyway, this is a really cool hip hop zombie apocalypse album by an amazing team in the twin cities. Hope you enjoy it.

What's up everyone it's Nate here with our first episode of "The Concept", a rebranding of The Album Concept Hour, now with more personality and introducing our new correspondent Sam Bronn! Brad left us high and dry by staying out in LA, so now I can finally really start to clean up this disaster that he created. In keeping with the spirit of the album we're covering today we even sold all of Brad's things (sans the recording equipment) and put beans all up in the nooks and crannies of Brad's house--right where they don't belong. Looking forward to a long tenure at this podcast that is now mine.

After 4 years of doing the podcast, Brad has finally hit the big time. That's right, he's out making a star out of himself in LA, Hollywood, California... or... at least that's what he keeps telling me. It's me, Nate Maney, the new host of the podcast... How's it goin? Anyway, I keep getting the sense that he's in some sort of trouble out west, but his wig is too big for me to see what's really going on in his LA life. But I guess this is the 4 year anniversary so we'll... keep on keeping on I guess! On today's episode of the podcast we're talking about King Gizzard's "Eyes Like the Sky" and are joined by old guests Gus, and Jimm, and new friends to the channel, Seth and Bard from Bard REACTS! We even get Brad to call in for a little while...

So I didn't mean to release an episode largely about the plight of soldiers on 9/11... but today we have an album that is about just that! Well, specifically, HORSE soldiers... We're talking about Corb Lund's love letter to the profession, Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! He's an Alberta boy that has a Texas spirit, coming from a line of country folk and horse wranglers. And we have another Alberta native to tell us his tale!

Today we have a very special treat for you guys. We had the opportunity to talk to CB Stockfleth, the director of The Elephant 6 Recording Company, the most highly anticipated music documentary by any indie music lover of the 90s and on. He shares with us the origin story of the documentary--from Robert Schneider believing in him to tell their story, to being brought in to the inner circle of the collective, to meeting the man/myth Jeff Mangum. Consider this a little preview into some long awaited stories from some pretty reclusive musicians (from Neutral Milk Hotel, The Olivia Tremor Control, The Apples in Stereo, and more!) that you'll find in The Elephant 6 Recording Company, IN SELECT THEATRES RIGHT NOW (see if it's playing near you here: https://www.elephant6movie.com/) AND STREAMING TO APPLE AND AMAZON PRIME SEPTEMBER 2nd!!!!!!Links:The Elephant 6 Recording Company trailer: https://youtu.be/PCzXf5ZiE3k?si=WWRJZNmSyBt3jKwT"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" clip: https://youtu.be/cWElzqll2Ls?si=fBU-Mjq3bDZ3-9sfgroup outside LA screening singing "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea together: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cv1d8mOx5sG/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Expert explains Green Typewriter section of album: https://www.reddit.com/r/OliviaTremorControl/comments/f151x8/green_typewriters_meaning/OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/2stA2P7pTC Flyover State Hotline - 1 608 HIT-NERD (608-448-6373)https://www.youtube.com/flyoverstatepark EVERYTHING ELSE: https://linktr.ee/FlyoverStatePark - Show more
