Losing My Opinion

(Note: This episode was recorded much earlier than others. If anything seems weird, there ya go.) Matt shares his guiltiest musical pleasure - does it serve as escapism? A bizarre vicariousness? Who knows. Thomas introduces yet another Japanese band he loves, even more than their Western counterpart... Time for Kirinji!   https://www.thinlear.com/ https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ Twitter: https:/...

Matt conducts a twisted experiment where they listen to five of the "best" Kiss songs - all for the first time - to see if they can't change their minds about the band at least a little. Thomas then starts sharing the good stuff. The real stuff. All songs previously shown may now be dismissed. (Artists mentioned: Sachiko Kanenobu, Happy End, Makoto Kubota) https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https:/...

Matt celebrates the wonderful and deeply undervalued legacy of Labi Siffre, a consummate musician, poet, and activist. Thomas then majorly gets on his case about not liking one of his favorite bands of the 21st century. https://www.thinlear.com/ https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/

Matt gushes over a nearly forgotten classic record by the perpetually underrated Kinks, while Thomas fires up the BBQ and cracks open a cold one to celebrate the perpetually misunderstood Boss of New Jersey. https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.thinlear.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/

Matt examines one of the great tragic figures of folk, nearly forgotten by time - though he expects she'll make a resurgence! Thomas then needles him over his "hate" of Pet Sounds, and things spin out of control from there.   https://www.thinlear.com/ https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/

Matt charges in to defend the reputation of one of the most critically reviled albums in recent memory (hint, it's "Lulu"). Thomas goes down the Joni Mitchell rabbit-hole, and shares one of his favorite moments in all recorded music history. https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.thinlear.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/

Matt raves passionately about the Best Live Album Of All Time. Thomas brings the energy back waaaay down with a contest involving the music of Bruce Willis and Steven Seagal. https://www.thinlear.com/ https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/

Also a little shorter than normal - you'll hear why... Thomas kicks things off today, talking about another Japanese band. Matt follows up with a discussion on the different Becks, and which Beck is the best Beck.   https://www.thinlear.com/ https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/ FB: https://www.instagram.com/los...

Matt's a papa! Huge congrats. Now he won't stop going on about dad rock. Meanwhile, Thomas is soooo confident about who the Greatest American Songwriter is. https://www.thinlear.com/ https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/ FB: https://www.instagram.com/losingmyopinion/    

Matt shares tunes from an album that's gonna make it hard to fall asleep tonight. Thomas discusses a particularly underappreciated artist, with an existential twist.   https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.thinlear.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/ FB: https://www.instagram.com/losingmyopinion/  

Matt gushes over how great Randy Newman is - screw you, Family Guy. Thomas showcases the best (and worst) Bob Dylan has to offer in the vocals department.   https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.thinlear.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/ FB: https://www.instagram.com/losingmyopinion/    

Matt makes a passionate defense of the country music genre (the key is to mostly stick with the 70's...) Thomas conducts an experiment - if you hate a band, and then that band makes an album they themselves hate, do two musical wrongs make a right? https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.thinlear.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/losingmyopinion IG: https://www.facebook.com/losingmyopinion/...

Welcome to Losing My Opinion! Matt (Thin Lear) kicks things off with a legendary soul recording he believes put The Beatles to shame. Thomas (Niagara Moon) retaliates with some revisionist history - a long-lost psych album from a one-hit wonder who could have been much more, had things gone differently...   https://www.niagaramoonmusic.com/ https://www.thinlear.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/lo...
