So So / Cool

Make your disc and play this tape in your Camero because this week we’re talking about the 2002 Blackalicious album Blazing Arrow. Join us as we take a journey through music with the encyclopedic sample collection of producer Chief Xcel, have our collective domes blown by the fire breathing, rhyme heathen, Gift of Gab, and try, after two decades, to finally figure out who cut the provolone. Spoile...

It’s time to put down your half-eaten corneas, prepare the flinched cocooned meats, and dress the tapeworm as pets because this week we’re getting lost in the uncanny dream world of The Mars Volta’s 2003 album, "De-Loused in the Comatorium". Join us as we journey back to the early 2000s revival of prog rock. Were our pants too tight back then? Was Joe in fact Cedric Bixler-Zavala’s doppelgänger? W...

Who would've known that some boys like us would stay going nowhere? Well, if it means hanging out to talk about Björk's 2001 album, "Vespertine", count us in!

But join us as we delve into this question and more, such as the meaning of our recurring dreams involving rock stars, why Christopher Nolan’s movies have such convoluted...

Awww no!! Break out your vibraslaps. This week we reluctantly crouch at our desks to talk about the four-letter band Cake and their 1996 album "Fashion Nugget". Join us as we dig into which iteration of the band was our favorite, realize in-the-moment which tracks are covers, and call out the band for ruining a marriage proposal plan involving fake email accounts, Twitter DMs and public zoos. Be s...

Get ready for a lot of fun and excitement as we discuss Grüvis Malt's 2002 album “…With the Spirit of a Traffic Jam”. This is a band we were absolutely obsessed with in high school. It all started one fateful day when they filled in for Hoobastank as the opener for Incubus at their show in Hershey, PA. Join us as we share our memories of that show, another show we saw them perform, and try to answ...
