Old Men Yell At Cloud

The ol' boys are getting autumnal af with the Analogs's Al Gentile this week as we examine Neil Young's fourth solo record "Harvest". We manage to devote most of the episode to actual discourse on the album, yet our journey still left us with several questions. Is Neil Young just patenting all his inventions in spite? Can you flash-freeze White Castle burgers? Is "Los Angeles" real? Submit your an...

Tonight we listened to Morphine's really cool 1993 album "Cure for Pain", an album recorded and written mere miles from where we recorded this episode. Exciting! On a less wholesome level, we discuss Tom Hanks again, Dr. Pepper, the annual tradition of at least one person crashing a U-Haul into an underpass on Storrow Drive, Parents who yell at other peoples' kids, the Nutcracker, and McDonald's a...

This is a milestone in a number of ways for chboys. For starters, we've reached our first repeat artist, we're covering perhaps the most expensive piece of vinyl we've yet heard, and we definitely, definitely, definitely talk about McDonald's more than any other episode. This is also our highest rated album to date. Unfortunately, we also say really horrific things. Well, mostly Patrick. And he's...

It's episode 20! The Oldmen are joined by Patrick's good friend Aimee Hauthaway to review Soundgarden's initial swan song "Down On The Upside" from the year of our lord 1996. Other discussions include Radiohead concerts, prawns, and restaurants where you can totally receive sandwiches in exchange for currency. Oh and poop. Sorry. :(

Today on OMYAC, we hit the tough topics. Is when listening to Treefingers an appropriate time to eat pizza? Patrick thinks so. He and Jim swap some of their fairly twisted mental imageries surrounding the title track of Kid A. In Jim's case, it's probably because he's been eating too many blueberries. Guest Jim Connolly (this does not get as confusing as you'd think) of Banana Brownie tells us abo...

It's Patrick's birthday this week so we've got a very special bonus episode for y'all... King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's *first* 2017 release "The Flying Microtonal Banana"! We explore microtones, 5 paragraph essays, and warm potatoes with Schooltree keyboardist Pete Danilchuk! We have fun even though Patrick is turning 34.

Bust out your devil horns and your filthiest pair of leather pants; the Old Boiz kick off July with a hefty slice of heavy metal care of a Ronnie James Dio-led Black Sabbath: 1980's "Heaven and Hell". We are joined by local metal aficionado Gregory Smith as we navigate the multitudinous sub-genres of metal, Billy Corgan's creepiness, and challenging each other to writing erotic fan fiction. NEON K...

Well, how did we get here? Today the Ol' Boyz are joined by Lee Martin (co-host of Jukebox Zeroes, also of Surprise Party and Sawtooth fame) as we review Talking Head's 1980 classic "Remain in Light". There is inevitable discussion and attempted impressions of David Byrne and Brian Eno, as well as inevitable discussion and attempted impressions of Andy Rooney, New England's finest furniture slinge...

We're entering chboy Christopher's birthday month as we frequently reference, and we're listening to the cult wales noise punk outfit McLusky's 2002 album McLusky Do Dallas. We talk a lot about bus drivers for some reason, as well as people flipping people off. Usually us or family members. Patrick reminisces about PSAs for four year olds, and Jim decided that it was a good idea to throw his sungl...

This week on Old Men Yell at Cloud, we take a psychedelia induced trip down memory lane. No, no, no! Not LSD. It’s The Campfire Headphase by Boards of Canada! Join us and our guest Erik Marks from Second Class Cinema as we shoot the shit and Patrick finally becomes a man with a plan.

Stevie Wonder's 1973 classic "Innervisions", a pivotal record in the history of soul and R&B, is on the chopping block today for the Old Boiz. We are joined this week by Bears For Years singer/songwriter (and Patrick's better half) Gina Monafo to discuss the finer points of this record, White Castle, Anthony Keidis, and solo vehicles for Winnie the Pooh characters. Also, stay for Jim reading us a...

Come one, come all to the promotional sideshow that is the pilot (and final?) episode of Old Nickel Zeroes! Due to some last minute rescheduling, Nickelbackin', Jukebox Zeroes, and Old Men Yell At Cloud managed to have a crossover episode! Listen in as a representative of each show enjoy a roundtable discussion about Guns n' Roses and their once-highly-anticipated album "Chinese Democracy". Come f...

In our first foray into having multiple guests, things got weird. Jim kept asking guest Abram Taber (he of Nickelbackin' and Sun Hat fame) about Dumpster Diving, guest Richard Surette (Guitar builder extraordinaire, member of Knock Over City and Kyklops) kept shutting down and refusing to participate, and Patrick wanted to insult Christopher's favorite song. No big deal. We listened to Spiderland.

Come one, come all and gather as we sit down late on a work night to discuss Battles' 2007 debut LP, "Mirrored"! Well, at least that was the plan. We do talk about the album, but we happen to talk a lot more about other things. Internet smut, the fact that guest host Tom Ribeiro of Second Class Cinema is actually artificial intelligence, and theories about "Mirrored" as well as Dustin Diamond also...

On this installment the Old Boys hunker down at Patrick's locale to listen to Unknown Mortal Orchestra's 2011 self-titled debut. We're joined this week by local writer and car mechanic Ben Hauthaway as we examine this record, Jim's (unverified) theory that Stevie Wonder is actually not blind, and midwestern hospitals that can't seem to get it together. And then we eat McDonald's. 

Join us as we take an adventure to the north Atlantic to spend an hour with our close personal friends in Sigur Rós! And by that we mean complete strangers whom one of us has paid money to see perform on exactly one occasion. We're joined by photographer extraordinaire Jarrod Staples as we discuss Reykjavík's masters of post rock's fourth album, 2005's "Takk...". We spent a lot of time once again...

Have you ever eaten horse? It's a good meat. That's what Christopher says, anyway, as we discuss Foals' 2013 album "Holy Fire". We're joined by special guest Tyler Loiselle as we descend upon Jim's basement to discuss feed bags, the ol' squirrell in the pants shenanigan, and for some reason, in the year of our lord 2018, The Temper Trap.

Join us Old Boys as we revisit the fantastic 1978 debut from the Cars with special guest Phil Fleming (Dweezil Show on WMFO, Ease Into The Noise), a record that we have probably collectively have listened to 900 times. I mean, it's like barely over a half hour long. So dive on in and soak in the dulcet tones of four grown men waxing poetic on this record, movie popcorn, and a veritible treasure tr...

Come one, come all as we descend into the wonderfully weird pop world of the Dismemberment Plan! We're joined by Adam Schneider of Big Time Kill as we discuss how the D-Plan may have been soothsayers, are not actually a metal band, and have the best rhythm section of all of late 90s indie rock. We also manage to talk about the album here and there.

Join us as we traverse across the tense United States/Canadian border to have a fifty plus minute party with our good pals in Rush. As they go "grunge", we go deep on discussing it with special guest Jon Sasor (of Gramlins and people being unable to pronounce his name fame). Naturally we discuss Canadians and their wonderful culture with the respect you've come to expect from us.    Please don't h...

Jim has at long last returned, and we gave Peter Gabriel's third self-titled album (nicknamed "Melt") a listen and discussed. We managed to also talk about Japan (the place), Japan (the band), Maine hangovers, and the nascent workshop to studio movement.

LET THE GREAT EXPERIMENT BEGIN!! Today for Christopher's pick, he decided to make Jim listen to an album with which he has zero familiarity: Depeche Mode's dark opus from 1993, "Songs of Faith and Devotion". We find out that drummers get upset when they don't hear drums, that there may be some Andrew Lloyd Webber stuff going on (short of the plagiarism), and that Christopher is indeed a sadboy. 

Happy Halloween payday, y'al! This time we discussed Pink Floyd's "Animals", and we sure had three fans listening tonight. If you enjoy this album, listen to kindred spirits! And if you don't? Listen to three dorks. We're here for you.

The gents are back coming in hot with a second episode. So hot, in fact, that a room microphone was enabled instead of Christopher's. Come for the podcast, but stay for the inviting hominess of Christopher's increasingly less frightening basement. Today we discuss Stone Temple Pilots' second album, "Purple"; an album which their detractors tend to ignore while holding their hands over their ears y...

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Old Men Yell At Cloud! Join hosts Jim, Patrick, and Christopher as they take a trip back to the magical land of 1992, where the CGI was groundbreaking and the record deals flowed like wine. Tool's debut EP "Opiate" seemed like a logical enough place to start, and we discuss it before getting sidetracked by VH1 Made-for-TV movies.
