Old Men Yell At Cloud

We shuffled around our schedule a bit to ensure that the cliffhanger that is The Fragile would be resolved as soon as possible for our faithful listeners, and this decision has literally nothing to do with the fact that Patrick went out of town for a bit when we were slated to do his next episode. NOTHING, I SAY. Anyway, as we dig into the second half of Nine Inch Nails's 1999 double album The Fra...

We begin a series of firsts in this episode. It is the first time, for example, that we have recorded in Christopher's new place in New Hampshire. It is the first time we have recorded a two-part episode for a double album. It is the first time Todd Bowes ( www.downcityarmory.com ) has returned as a guest. And it is the first time Jim decided against an Impossible Burger at the establishment of tr...

Uber drivers, Guinea Pigs and apples, who would have thought? On this sizzling episode of OMYAC cha boys Christopher, Jim, and Patrick discuss 1997's Hard Normal Daddy by Squarepusher. Apparently a bag of apples a day keeps the guests away.

We're back at Patrick's Ol' Factory in Ayer covering our second STP record to date, 1996's "Tiny Music..." along with Gina Monafo (Bears For Years). Things get hairy and biscuit-y.

It's Patrick's (belated) birthday again and we've got another bonus episode! This time we are covering John Coltrane's 1965 classic "A Love Supreme"; topics such as hot dogs, Bruce Springsteen, and Auntie Anne's pretzels are also examined to an extent.

We get a bit punchy as we record this, our first second episode to be recorded in a single day, but darn it we have some fun. We're joined by Johnny Jimenez (BFF.FM's "We Let The Hats Decide") as we discuss Deftones' 2000 album White Pony. Johnny arrived with multiple items of Deftones paraphernalia (and cookies), Jim was underdressed for the occasion, Patrick didn't get enough fries but then got...

Oh man! It's Porkie Pal time! On this episode of OMYAC we dive into 2002's In Absentia by prog rock group Porcupine Tree. We're joined by Nate Heroux, a long time friend of Jim's, who helps take us down memory lane. Jim experiences some PTSD and everyone works through it as a team or something. Then, some other things are discussed.

We're back on our OMYAC bullshit talking about King Crimson's 1974 classic "Red" with special guest Titans of Industry/Bongcoven guitarist Mike Becker on this installment. Also brief detours into Aphex Twin, masonry, and Axl Rose telling dirty jokes to his very irate bandmates.

On this extra special birthmonth bonus episode, birthday boy Christopher selects one of his favorite albums ever, Kraftwerk's lush 1978 offering "The Man Machine". Joined by Dan Greening, the boys discuss Jim's mop experience, meting styrofoam over dead cockroaches (but at least having the decency to drive the cockroaches home after), and commemorative shrimp. We also continue our music news chall...

Chboyz are all alone for a spin of 1998's oft-maligned outing from the Smashing Pumpkins, "Adore", leading to brisk and surprisingly on-topic chat. We also discuss Billy Corgan's new Andy Rooney style podcast, eating fruity sandwiches, and pigeons.

On this episode of OMYAC we're joined by Aquaria bassist Jimmy James Luciano to talk about Andy Shauf's 2016 release "The Party." We also talk about frogs, WD-40, and all the "ones" that got away.

It's May and springtime is in the air! We are joined this week by bassist Matt Ohanian (of DAEVES, Bears for Years, and Smell) to tackle Talk Talk's 1986 impressionist pop gem "The Colour of Spring". While due respect is paid to the late Mark Hollis, we also manage to weasel in some discussions on gout, subpar bowling leagues, and creepy English nobility. Oh and we may have cursed ourselves by cal...

In this particularly hostile episode, we roll up our sleeves and discuss Hum's 1998 space rock classic "Downward is Heavenward". We try to unravel not only the album itself, but the Museum of Science Police, why we ever accepted checks as currency, and and Afternoon with the Axl Roses. Kyle Rasmussen of Phenomenal Sun joins us.

APRIL FOOLS! Ya bunch of fools! On this episode of OMYAC we cover Opeth's (NOT Otep) 2005 metal masterpiece Ghost Reveries. We're joined by Eric Rautenstrauch who just loves himself a good slice of metal. Ailments and Friendly's happy endings are discussed.

We at it again (2019)! We're back talking about one of Patrick's all-time favorite and formative records "Angel Dust" by Faith No More, from the year of our lord 1992. We're joined in the studio by Nate Nemitz and Kevin Lynch of Bush Scrunity and Vos as we navigate this oddball of an alt-rock record. Just five guys talking about Five Guys.

We are joined by DJ and musician Jason Layne (Sunken Armada, Fifth Business, Drab, and others) as we ostensibly discuss REM's transitional 1998 album "Up". Instead we often find ourselves talking about driving across several state lines for a burrito, the likely influence Catdog had on the Human Centipede film franchise, and how Patrick is a true recycler. We also learn some new words with Jim.

We get all bro rock up in this place with Clutch's Blast Tyrant from 2004. Jim's friend Ryan joins us and we have a very educational and thoughtful discussion. Also, sorry about the audio quality in the beginning. Chris was a sick boy and remoted in. Technical difficulties happened. Hi Janet!

The boys are back in town, kicking off February with singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley's sole studio album "Grace". We are joined by musical virtuoso Clinton Degan (of Body English) as we attempt to traverse the line between earnest praise and jocular commentary. Actually, full disclosure, we've been just listening to the Lion King soundtrack this whole time.

In this episode, we insult a whole nation. We're sorry, we really are. All we wanted to do was talk about the first entry in David Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, Low. Writer Andrew Husband (@andrewhusband) joins us as we really dig ourselves a hole. A lot of things got covered during our descent, so in lieu of a proper description, here is a list of the alternate titles: I love Sandra Bullock The Hard En...

Happy New Year, Everyone! Welp, we've made it around the sun once more. Jim, Christopher, Patrick, and special guest, Todd Bowes of Downcity Amory, are here to rip that Christmas joy right out of your stocking!

As we wind down 2018, the boys are gettin' nostalgic with an album often cited as one of the greats amongst audiophile dads: Steely Dan's "Aja" from 1977. And we're thinking about all the great things dad has done for us; introducing us to the Dan, taking us on trips to faraway lands (in Vermont), and even Biff's weird indentured servitude. We're joined by the great wizard behind Boston synth-pop...

As we buckle down to discuss U2's 1991 album of reinvention, Achtung Baby, Patrick discusses playing Farmville with your uncle and producing a musical based on the life of George Lazenby, Jim talks about what waste geese do and do not eat and Garbage Day Jeopardy, and Christopher talks about the relatively low cost of pork skin and its potential uses. Special guest Eóin Breathnach (of Batman: Triu...

It's getting cold in New England and everyone's nipples are hard for the pointy sounds of Can's Tago Mago. Join us as guest Michael Levesque helps us dissect the living shit out of it. Happy Thanksgiving. Don't stuff the turkey too hard.

Gather round for some ghoulish good fun on our (day after) Halloween installment... this time with Michael Jackson's 66x platinum-selling album "Thriller" from 1982. We are joined by Chapman Stick-tickler Tyler Kent (of Boston prog outfit GEPH) as we review this excellent slice of pop history between musings on certain celebrities' (and our co-host's) strange fascination with blowup dolls, price q...

Jim has made an another successful revolution around the sun, Christopher "cracks" as many egg jokes as possible, Patrick discusses dairy, the types, and where it belongs, as well as much more on this thrilling hour of birthday podcast gold! Be sure to email us and tell about YOUR greatest eggsperience!
