Beck Did It Better

We are finally talking Weezer but before we do, we talk old radio shows, hit the wildest region of the cereal  bracket, and talk about going to a weezer concert.    then we talk weezer and do a list of the best bands to come to minneapolis with Weezer! Next week, Daft Punk Random Access Memories 

Get out your Guiness book of world records and join us at your favorite resatraunt as us four YOUNG guys hang out and talk about young things like customer service, showing up to things early, and what you do when your phone is terrible and doesnt just do what it is SUPPOSED TO DO EVEN THOUGH IT COST 1000 Bucks.  Then we have a list of the best bands with Twins and then we talk about this fun band...

Listen,    This album rips. It's so good that I had to reach out and BEG our guest to come on. Jon loves all things guitar and so I had to bring him on to talk about Eddie and the boys and literally his boy later in the band's life.  And what a life that was. I knew more about Van Halen and its members than any band ever. Thats crazy when you think about it.      We discover a new thing Aaron is i...

Listen, this is a podcast bit you can send to anyone and it is no boring watch stuff, just Russells Rolling Going. Send it to everyone you know to share our wonderful news.  You can't say this podcast has not had a story arc. 

Listen, we can tell you all about our favorite watches or some mystery shoes that we sent to us in the mail but this episode has the biggest news that (thus far) has been dropped on the podcast ever. Its so big, I am going to release a second episode this week that is just Russ's Rolling going.  We talk Destiny's Child and Beyonce and the perils of going against her online or even if you are in De...

Rubs eyes. Oh man... where am I? I thought today was sept 9th! Its the day Lennon released this album. This has one of my favorite parody songs and a lot of jokes about women I love making love to people who aren't me.    This episode made me laugh made me what to go to Vegas. We get the origins of East St. Paul, and the origins of Aaron's weird relationship with his car dealer.    The bleeped jok...

Listen. This is a great album and all. There is some funny stuff here in the middle and at the end but mainly, we get to hear a record buying list from Aaron and it is exactly what you think it would be.    We talk breweries, the importanance of visiting friends, how Rob is dealing with his Cpap. Then we give some more showering tips and do a list that Russell does NOT like.    Next week we have D...

We replay all the times we talked Dolly Parton on the podcast and then replay our Coat of Many Colors episod

We've driven through the mountain passes of Iowa to bring you this episode about Björk's 2nd album Post. We head out to the field of dreams, get expensive tickets to a game, and Aaron has a car dealer say "Please leave me alone."    Then we go over more of our favorite cereals and don't talk about nearly as many mining accidents as we did last week.    So put on your latex and meet us next week wh...

FROM ROLLING STONE: Jonathan Richman moved from Boston to New York as a teenager in hopes of sleeping on Lou Reed’s couch. That influence shows on the two-chord anthem “Roadrunner.” Recorded in 1972 but not released until 1976, Lovers turned the tough sounds of the Velvets into an ode to suburban romanticism. “Rock & roll was about stuff that was natural,” Richman said. “I wasn’t about drugs a...

Hey everyone,  Look out for those bedposts this week as we talk a Faux British invasion and we go deep underground for the Byrds/ Bob Dylan mash up of Hey Mr. Tambourine Man. We talk going up to Alaska, barfing on a boat, getting your fiber and why Hublots just plain blow on this three man weave of an episode.  Then we turn up the treble and listen to this divisive album while also talking about t...

In 1994 on this day Biggie married Faith Evans and very little else happened on that date so this is the ep you are getting while we finish up our summers. To be honest, I have no idea if this is any good or not but it is episode 22 which is very funny unless you understand the concept of aging.    Enjoy.  If you hate this, you will really hate beckdiditbetter.com   802 277 BECK and the voicemail...

Today we are talking big life changes by way of when you get better at baseball, and then we talk a LOT of baseball before Rob shares the horrors of the plane ride over. Then we chat about the best songs about handiwork, and we sample the wondrous (and glowing) Mountain Dew Donut by Kwik Trip.  Then we get our bong di biddie bing bong on with another Rick Rubin joint (stop selling crypto) and talk...

THERE HAS BEEN A DISASTER. AARON HACKED INTO MY EDITING AND DELETED MY AUDIO FOR THE FIRST PART!! Reload the podcast if that it is happening.  Beckdiditbetter.com     802-277- BECK 

On this day (July 14th), 60 years ago (1966), Ellen Reid was born.  She was the keyboardist for the band the Crash Test Dummies! So I compliled all times we mentioned them. Then that wasn't enough time so I grabbed all the times we talked about LIVE and then I added Dirty Granny because why not?  We are recording this Friday so we probably will have an episode soon. 

Stil haven't had a chance to record but today is the 17 anniversary of the funeral of Michael Jackson. 17th year gift is "traditonal furniture" so BDIB is sending him a chimp cage and some Malachite vases. 

We are still in schedulepocalypse, and I am going to Italy soon, so we will call this a planned vacation that we knew was coming.  June 30th, 1984, Bruce Springsteen hit his highest chart number ever with "Dancing in the Dark" hitting number 2 (When Doves Cry.)   TBH I don't know anything else about this episode but you pigs will each any slop I bring you so eat it up and enjoy not working in the...

Today is the day this Album became #1 in the U.S. in 1962, and I thank God every day I wasn't around then.  It sounds boring as hell.   Apple didn't like how I uploaded this so I had to do it again. Sorry Manny   Just a heads up... we are in schedulepocalypse and might take a few weeks off. Sorry that my wife loves to plan stuff! Call in and complain on the voicemail. 802 277 BECK

Russ is on load management so we have very special guest, Magic Mike 69 to talk about Frank Sinatra, his phrasing, and the first concept album ever. It's basically like when adult stars have sex with their fans except it would be like our fans are better at having sex on camera.  Think about it.    We talk what (not) to say to your daughter's prom dates, adult social anxiety, Beck being on tour, a...

Russ is on his two-game suspension for not laughing enough at my jokes, so it is just the menage a tois of the other three, and, much like a gas, we expand to fill the space. We finally talk about sidecars, we do some more random clips, and Matt gives Rob some texting etiquette.  Then Rob sees Madonna and has a New York night.    The we talk early electronic music and the queen of disco, Donna Sum...

We have Little Rosie on and we talk quitting our dumb jobs, where to retire and then some state songs. Then we chat about Merlin Haggard (#1 Merle) and instead of a 100 dumb songs we picked 14 and they rip. We get to see the brothers talk about physical media (shocking) and Aaron has a few drinks in San Fran (Double Shocking) and Rob has a revelation that his mom should not listen to.  Next week i...

Today we become the best Harry Schilsson podcast even if we really like his son! We play a fun parody song, talk about taking your kids to a concert, people sitting in the back (I didn't realize they were kids he was talking about) and Russell gets a new obsession. Then we listen to one of the most beautiful songs of all time and the. The coconut song song comes on.  Next week we have Frank Sinatr...

We love this album like any kid loves cake. We start this episode by giving Aaron a choice of a lifetime and then move on to talk about the point of sports, songs that seems old as hell, massage issues and the heartbreak of defeat.    Then we put the hammer down and listen to what might be the biggest songs of our lifetimes and an album we really enjoyed.  Next week we are talking Harry Nilsson an...

We are talking NIRVANA UNPLUGGED this week and if you werr an angsty teen like Russ you know you listened to this 1 million times and you probably forgot how depressing it was. We talk about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Aaron gets elected president and we talk new DQ flavors.   Then we talk Unplugged and how much we listeded to this Legend #3 Next week it is Rob's birthday (leave a voice mail o...

Folks,  I have been letting my children write these, and that's why there are so many spelling errors. I have fired them.   We are talking colonoscopies, new shoes, and seeing the sequel to Harry Potter before anything else. We go over some of the songs we hated, and there was NOT a list that got deleted after the first song. We welcome our fan interactions and that is why we are talking about Hou...
