Make it Stop: A Bad Music Podcast

We're serving a double dose of white nonsense this week, as we dive into not one but TWO albums by pasty, melanin-deficient emcees. VQ of the Boston League of Wicked Wrestlers joins us as we discuss Playing With Fire, the first and last release from former Britney Spears beau, WWE superstar, and Celebrity Fit Club alum Kevin Federline. Later on, our good friend Brittni joins the fray as we shift g...

The Shaggs had a philosophy, all right. We do too. Our philosophy is that it's a really funny idea to invite Wiley Meow (of High Energy Vintage, Bit Fest, and beyond) on Make it Stop this week to talk about his New Hampshire roots and explore the cocktail of regional novelties that could birth a band--and an album--like this. You'll cringe, you'll cry, and you'll probably be haunted forever by the...

Top of the morning to y' Stoppies, we're right chuffed to bring you our latest episode, and this one's a British Invasion! This week's episode finds us disco dancing with the devil, as we review Elton John's much maligned Victim of Love, a several-years-too-late collection of half-assed disco tunes so soulless that Sir Elton himself doesn't bother to write any of the music or even play the friggin...

Happy new year, Stoppies! Just kidding. 2017 was already pretty brutal, but we're here to put some crap-icing on the trash-cake with a roundup of all the anti-anthems of this past year. Take a deep dive down with us to the bottom of the bad music barrel where we dissect the treacley corporate cut-and-paste drivel that characterized the worst of this year. Be prepared to abandon your heroes as we b...

This week's episode is the opposite of a Christmas miracle: a veritable log of reindeer shit left for us to scrape off our shoes till the end of eternity, the album Lulu by Lou Reed and Metallica began as an improbable but intriguing pairing that soon became one of the most widely panned artistic outputs by all of the musicians involved in its production. Over an hour and a half long, Lulu boggles...

Today's episode finds our heroes waxing philosophic about the nature of art, music, and ultimately life--while analyzing the shrieking, dispassionate autotuned wailing and aggressive GarageBand synth lines of Farrah Abraham's 2012 atrocity/masterpiece My Teenage Dream Ended. Joined by #Cobbcast host and producer Brian Melanson, the team digs deep into the autobiographical, arguably anti-musical sc...

Episode 2 finds our heroes Mike and Heather wading knee deep in the schlockiest, most useless vanity project ever--Bruce Willis' "Return of Bruno", a 2 part mockumentary/concert and tepid, schmaltzy album of the same name. Rewrite history with us as we discover Bruno invented the Beatles, psychedelia, and basically everything else that ever happened in music, period--with his very own bland and fl...

For Episode 1 of Make it Stop, our podcast dedicated to dredging up and dissecting the worst albums of all time, Mike and Heather blow their load early with one of the most catastrophic collections of sounds ever made. Characterized by screeching cookie monster vocals, mysoginistic toddler lyrics, and shallow, brittle casio keyboard beats, brokenCYDE, a band whose name describes our general attitu...
