Musical Shenanigans

We originally recorded this on Mother's Day, but we were bound and determined to get it out by Father's Day. Our Elite Eight Listening Parties continue - this time featuring Fleetwood Mac's 1977 classic Rumours: a therapy session masking as an album. Rumours takes on the album from our last Listening Party: Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy. In our middle discussion, we pick ap...

Greetings all, This harkens back to the year 2022 - a full lifetime ago. The centerpiece comes from our most downloaded show called "Dinner Theater" and the presumption is that it is due to this bit.  However, we have been known to be very, very wrong. The joke is old, but there is an explainer in the beginning (yes, mansplaining pairs well with Ye, don't ya think?). As always, we a...

The Elite Eight continues! As we move on to the third of our Listening Party episodes, we turn our attention to the moment Led Zeppelin stopped ripping off other people's music and started relying solely on their own ... 1973's Houses of the Holy, all accompanied by our trademark analysis, random thoughts, unrelated tangents and total non sequiturs. Not to mention a little fun and games...

In our last episode, we did a full play through of Led Zeppelin's debut album, which had no official title, but is often referred to colloquially as "Led Zeppelin I". Today, as our "Elite Eight" round continues, we give you a full play through of its challenger: Pink Floyd's iconic dive into the depths of madness, The Dark Side of the Moon.  Then put on your low rise...

Greetings everyone! We are experimenting with our little short episodes from earlier discussions, quizes, and bits.  These little minisodes are remastered, sanitized, and ribbed for your pleasure.

Look, we know that 2025 wasn't our finest moment.
