The Black Door Music Argument

In this weeks rant cast Barrie and Carrie discuss the subtly and in your face views of Katy Perry over the years. Does Barrie think it is high art or sell out trash. If you know Barrie you already know. This week on BDMA Katy Perry.

Barrie and Josh escape from the bunker and meet face to face to unpack and discover music the  Barrie only moderately dislikes because someone told him to listen to in. This week on BDMA we discuss the album “We Are” by Jon  Batiste.  

In this weeks rant cast Carsten and Barrie discuss why we are right and kids need to get off our lawns when classifying music. After listening to a user playlist labeled oldies featuring songs form the late 1990’s Carsten feels he must dispute. This week on BDMA we are old.

Carsten and Barrie introduce a new series of podcasts we will unpack focusing on those who were there. We understand our views are not always first hand. This series will seek out people who were witnesses to the music. This week on BDMA The Intro to Zeitgeist Series.

Carsten and Carrie continue their stroll down Blink-182 memory lane with the re-released demo Buddha. I know I know the release can after Dude Ranch but we are working chronological. This week on BDMA where it all started.

You may not know who John Prine was but he died last year due to COVID-19.  We decided to go back to the beginning to try to understand what the music world, and in turn all of us, lost.

If you ask me what I think of when I think of when you hear”The Outfield” I instantly reply “Kirby Puckett”...but I grew up in Minnesota during the eighties and nineties.  But most people think of the lovable band from England. This week on BDMA the top songs by The Outfield.

Key components of any dad rocker, New Balances Shoes, a favorite chair for a good sit and of corse Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. This album has many hits and riffs that have become transcendent of the time period. This week on BDMA Barrie and Carsten unpack every layer to this parfait. 

Carrie and Barrie review, discuss, analyze and praise the album Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers.

Nothing to say here. Title Says it all.

Sometimes you find your self on a mission from God equipped with a set of headphones to dive into the world of the one of the best SNL Musical Acts. This week on BDMA Barrie and DJ unpack the history and music of the Blues Brothers.

Sometimes you just need to sit down with a friend and go through the entire catalog of a band to really understand how much you judge the other person. Well we don’t shy away from judgment. This is the first installment of Carrie and Carsten’s exploration of Blink.

Sometimes you go to a show and you are so blown away by the opening act that a few years later and you have a podcast you reach out to the artist to see if they will come on. Not only do Carsten and Josh re-tell the tale of the night they saw Five Alarm Funk, but you get at least half an episode of Carsten telling Tayo about how awesome 5AF is. This week on BDMA Tayo of Five Alarm Funk! http://www...

Sometimes we need a super low key episode. This week on BDMA we ask each other What are you listening to? 

Let us jump in the way back machine and visit the wonder years of the early 2000’s. Pop Punk was all the lack of rage you remember when this album dropped reminding everyone that bagpipes kick ass. This week on BDMA Blackout by Dropkick Murphys.

Nothing makes music more enjoyable than animated trolls covering classic pop songs and singing poorly written songs that fit in an ill conceived plot.  But the best part of is Hocus Pocus by Focus which is totally in the soundtrack right??? This week on BDMA Trolls World Tour.

There are some songs and artists that just cannot be covered and when this unspoken law is broken it becomes almost painful to experience. This week we discuss a sleeper addition to this list. From its roots as a club anthem (so to speak) of its time, to the yearly tradition of listening to this song with friends and family. This week BDMA discuses Bobby Pickett’s most well known song.

Christian Lee Hutson claimed Elliot Smith as an major influence so I wanted to do a deeper dive.  The first time I heard Elliot Smith I was watching a VHS of Good Will Hunting and I thought there was Simon and Garfunkel material that had gone undiscovered by me.  Turns out after listening to Elliot Smith for two weeks straight, I was in a different place than I’ve been in a while. ...

Well no pulling punches here. Carsten talks almost non stop taking minor breaks just long enough to let Carrie remind you she is there, all while talking about the album The Used. Carsten and Carrie explore the music poetry and emotions the lead this to being not the tops list for Carsten. This week expand your music collection with The Used on BDMA.

musical collection Josh and Barrie discuss the good and bad of The Dead South. Also, of course, tangents are included on this weeks BDMA.

Sometimes you have a friend who introduces you to an album by an artist they want to share with you. In response you crap all over it. You friend has no choice but to invite the artist on to the podcast to make you try and say it to their face, unless you chicken out. This week Christian Lee Hutson visits BDMA to have catch up with Carrie and Barrie. 

Not sure if you have noticed but this has been one heck of a year. It has been full of chaos, pandemics, mask but most importantly (maybe) weekly episodes BDMA.  This week we each pick a song to ring in the new year. 

Listen to the Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLXmVGuLPLjouyEYb3XGXraGyofWNLk80 Last week we had the best Christmas songs so this week we vote for the worst Christmas songs...or as Carsten says DJ’s list from last week.  This week on BDMA look for a lump of coal in your iPod!

The Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLXmVGuLPLjprXWhF3wJ6mh7fBGMtxu5K Every December people love listening to Christmas songs.  But what is better than listening to your favorite Christmas songs??? Arguing over which one is the BEST!  This week at BDMA we put all the best Christmas songs in a bracket and the best one wins.  Wait you say your favorite wasn’t  on the...

In 1979 The Muppets recorded a television special with John Denver called “A Christmas Together.”  Though I’ve never actually seen the show, the soundtrack has become a staple for millions and is still available for a sale and download today.  In fact my vinyl copy is only two years old. As a result the holidays never seem quite right with out John and the Muppets. This week on BDMA “A C...
