Old Men Yell At Cloud

Come one come all as we dive into Sigur Rós's 2008 ray of sunshine that is "Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" (With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly)! We're joined by Scott Kurland (Hell is a Musical, Writer's Bagel Basket, and Where in the World is Steven Quincy Urkel?) as three fourths of the gang struggle with pronunciation as one struggles slightly less. We also manage to discuss Tommy...

Perverted powerful podcasters preferably plug Perturbator while perturbating playfully. Yea... that's a good description.

Patrick picks a Rundie classic for this installment; Todd Rundgren's "A Wizard, A True Star" released in 1973 (one day after Dark Side of the Moon, oddly enough). The record is often cited as a huge influence on the "bedroom pop" phenomenon of the 2010s and is heavily revered by artists like Trent Reznor, Kevin Parker (Tame Impala), and Ariel Pink. So anyway, Christopher and Jim hated this record...

As we approach the Summer Solstice, the boys are delving into an album that revels in the warmth as well as occasional iciness, Sóley's 2015 album "Ask the Deep". A personal favorite of Christopher's, they discuss the album as well as alien abductions in New Hampshire, Crime Animals, Bring Backs, a love of Jimmy Stewart, and all of the ways you can die in a recording studio. John Greene (Fifth Bus...

It's the month of Christopher's birth so that means he gets a bonus pick for a bonus episode! He selected Oasis's massive 1995 album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" and the gang brought back Oasis superfan Jon Sasor to discuss. Also up for discussion are subway martial arts, the coolest dancing man on the MBTA, when the milk is too hot, and a perpetrator known by many names who we will just ca...

Just the three amigos today on this, the day of our lord, June first. Can you guess what weird nonsense we talk about today? I bet you can... I bet you know it's fast food-related. Ugh. We're getting too predictable, so we had to throw some dark shit in too. Nothing ever good comes of the three of us rambling in the same (virtual) room together. This is why we invite guests to check our reality. A...

Zoo time, is she and you time? It happened! That's right, Patrick picked glam-rock darlings Sparks's 1974 release "Kimono My House" for this installment, joined as always by Christopher (the human ottoman), Jim (Beans? Mankey? Dinky-Diamond? idk), and very special guest Lilz Martin (of Jukebox Zeroes, Sawtooth, and Fatigue fame of course). Other topics of discussion include Ol' Man Wingsover's mor...

Come one, come all! We're looking for investors in the newest form of cryptocurrency! Today we along with repeat guest Clinton Degan listened to early investors Blur's self-titled 1997 album, and we managed to actually squeeze a healthy album discussion in there for once. But then we forgot why we were actually doing this and started talking about digital milk. You know how these things go.

What a time to be alive! Who would have thought you'd be stuck at home listening to us three wildebeests talk about a Rush album while the entire planet comes to a screeching halt? Welp, hope we can at least provide a smidge of "normalcy" in these insane times. Joining us this week is repeat guest Nate Heroux and his glorious Chapman Stick. Christopher isn't joining the space force apparently, Pat...

Patrick decides to subject Christopher and Jim (but mostly Christopher) to another Steely Dan record; their 1972 debut "Can't Buy A Thrill" to be specific. Along for the ride is America's favorite little brother "Steely" Dominic Monafo as we navigate the Dan's surprisingly impressive debut. Other topics of discussion include the eating habits of raccoons, the great state of Florida, and whether th...

While we certainly go off the rails from time to time, on our way to discuss Björk's critically acclaimed second full-length album "Post", we ended up with some serial killer talk. Look, we know. There are other podcasts out there that discuss that sort of thing and do it competently. Fortunately, we are in no way competing with them. Joined by Clamshell Case Files' Bridget Crawford, we eventually...

Wow. Patrick REALLY hates this album, but that's ok because Jim, Christopher, and returning guest Tyler Loiselle are here to cheer him up. Mark Foster's not a bad guy, he's just lost and still can't find his way back to his tent at the 2011 Kia Summer Sales Event. Who wants a hot dog?

The lads are back, covering Dire Straits' 1978 self-titled debut! WITCH CAKE drummer and good legume Joel Silloway joins us in studio as we navigate this rock-solid slice of sassy dad rock and things get, well, fishy. Or mammal-y? We forget if dolphins lay eggs or not.

You come to this podcast for discussions on skiing, correct? No? Well just skip by the first few minutes. In this episode we discuss Filter's second album "Title of Record", and we're joined by John Crawford of Fidget Creative to discuss whether artists should evolve (spoiler: one person says no), hawks stealing uncooked burgers from the side of a grill, the origin of Carl's, Jr. (the person), and...

Tom Ribeiro is back to talk about the most bizarre album we've done on this show. Surprisingly an absolute delight. In between ukelele and falsetto weirdness we talk about Tiny Tim's life, some Christmas shoes, and why the hell there are two drive-throughs at McDonald's now. Thew world has gone to Hell in a handbasket. We'll see you there.

Our first episode of the 2020s! ...For whatever that's worth. We're kicking off this decade with good ol' Pauly Westerberg and the boys as we dive into the Replacements' 1985 classic "Tim". Naturally, we dragged Tim Howd of the Only Humans along for the ride as he is, to this date, the only other Tim known in all human existence. This episode may also be up your alley if you're interested in Weeze...

Today we learned that Jim really, really doesn't like Rivers Cuomo. But the learning did not stop there! We explored all sorts of topics such as Public Alley 437 in Boston, illegal gyro carts, some college called Harvard (it's in Cambridge, MA), Australian fast food, Sid Vicious tootin' his horn...there really aren't too many stones left unturned. Matt Keyser of Clamshell Case files joins in for a...

The boys are back in town! Make a wish! Did you make it? Was it for a weird egg dispenser? Oh... well, you're getting one anyway. In this episode we dive into the album "IV" by BADBADNOTGOOD. Did you know Chris Hansen is involved? Anything to catch those predators.

We're back in the OMYAC studio and Patrick is making the boys listen to prog again, this time with Yes's 4th studio album "Fragile". Along for the ride is our good pal and fellow Yes-head Joel Simches who shares some wonderful anecdotes as usual. Other topics of discussion include Bret Buchanan's usual nonsense, leaving Baby Ruths in Jim's broken toilets (why does he always have at least one broke...

As we settle in to ostensibly cover The Cure's 1985 commercial breakthrough "The Head on the Door", we slowly but surely get sidetracked into talking about New England donkeys, weird farms, hash browns (that are scattered, smothered, covered, and chunked), using skin as a home construction material, and Jim takes us home with a simple science experiment that you can try at the home of any dog owne...

Birthday! Birthday! Birthday! Bonus! Bonus! Bonus! It's Jim's birthday bonus featuring Steven Wilson's Hand. Cannot. Erase. A concept album about the removal of Jim's hand from Steven Wilson's shoulder. You'll never guess who ate some horse by using this one weird trick! Listen in!

Holy Crap! Episode 48 marks the two year anniversary of the show. Can you believe it?! We cant! On this episode we hold Jim's cousin Matt hostage as we discuss the 2016 album Magma by french metal band, Gojira. Everyone get ready to swing your metal hair around!

Wonder and whimsy abound as the classic trio dissect Grizzly Bear's 2017 release "Painted Ruins". By the classic trio, we of course are referring to the three Sir Michael Caines (just go with it, it's easier that way). Patrick Michael Caine succumbs to the "Metacricket", Jim Michael Caine regales us with another one of his trademark "international incidents", and Christopher Michael Caine? Well, l...

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...
