From The Pile

sir, a second summer break has hit the towers

We mostly talk about Oasis and weird Taco Bell stories.

What is indie? Is it a genre? Is it production value? Is it a time and place? Is it in the room with us now? Oh, shit, I see it, I CAN SEE IT. SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD We also get the clutch of all clutches on Bandle. Sponsor us, Bandle.

Ah shit I almost forgot to upload the episode. We're back after a couple weeks. Summer is busy, okay? Anyway we do our Bandle, watch a spectacular National Anthem performance, and finally answer one of life's toughest questions... is Rock Music Dead?

We are down with the system, more specifically, System of a Down. We do our bandle, and uh, talk about Kid Rock some more. We're definitely gonna get him on the pod.

this should just be a movie podcast, actually. we do talk about the Apple Music top 100 list. That's still relevant, right?

We discover an album Neil Young made as an attempt to communicate with his son who has Cerebral Palsy. His method? Make a Kraftwerk inspired album about how rad it is to be a computer man. I'm not making this up. Also we get in our Daily Bandle.

We cover Phish at the Sphere, the dark origins of Stewart Copeland, Record Store Day, the new T-Swift record, we play Bandle - a music style wordle thing, and then we play a worse one that's less fun. And much more. Well probably not much more. But this was a good one. High T energy, baby.

We take you on a tour of some of the most famous sons... from Hank Williams Jr to John Hinckley Jr. And uh, that's pretty much it. We're back, baby.

Lotta Dune talk. Also I went to a record show. And we wonder what it would be like to trade in our cars for a couple sapphires. Movies are back, baby.

We explore the music of David Koresh. It's... kinda good? We also fall into an Easycore rabbit hole and get all nostalgic for some cringe pop punk.

We report back from a nice weekend of live music. [Redacted] saw Hotelier and I saw Knee Deep Shag. Sorry this one is late!

We're sports guys now. Also, we talk about Dire Straits' third album Making Movies. I think this is a good episode.

The Boys are Back in Town

Hair metal rules, Tipper Gore sux.

I talk way too much about Twilight, and then we rank the Radiohead albums.

What is this clickbait shit? We talk Mad Men, Mongolian BBQ, Bathroom stories, Dreamhack, Smash Bros Etiquette, and figure out what states like what bands. Yup.

Also spoilers for Hereditary, I guess.

We talk about being Emo and Goth, American Football House, Chocolate Milk Lattes, and bunch of AI bullshit.

Mall warlords, moving sucks, Joe Exotic talk, Mall music, Ke$ha is a certified genius, Eminem is in Fortnite, Nicki Minaj is in COD, Oliver Anthony Live at the Allegan County Fair, Osama Bin Laden: Nepo Baby, Snapchat Map Ogling, Finally we talk about electronic music. We're recording remote now, but the show will still go on.

We talk about Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential playlist and it takes us on a journey all the way to the magical land of California, where Anthony Kiedis's roam free.

I'll add a more detailed description later lol but we talk a lot about how cool butt rock is, also we decide on the new name of the show.

We try to name the show, get lost in space with Stargate and Quantum Leap, get our brains blasted by Elvis Costello, and attempt to discuss My Chemical Romance's Black Parade. If you have an idea for what the show should be called please help us.

We're cozy and relaxed this week in this beautiful fall weather. We talk about U2 in the Sphere, Lord Miles in distant lands, and a whole bunch of other stuff. More music talk next week!

Talking Points: Are we this stale already? CTE talk, Ride the Bowflex, Chicago Update, crying at paintings, Malort, smelly foods, Nick has brain fog and can't remember The Producers, Soyjacking at museums, NYC museums, amateur stand up, ONE FUCKING MINUTE? Album: Where You Been by Dinosaur Jr. Next time I'll try and not have CTE.
