Beck Did It Better

Black Sabbath: Master of Reality (1971) Ep. 234

As Descartes once said, "I think, therefore I am the best podcast about Black Sabbath and the 234th greatest album of all time, Master of Reality." T

 

Before we get to the music, we break down the pros and cons of Milk Duds and experience a plot twist when one of our hosts exposes himself as a candy slurphead. Then we celebrate street musicians, marvel at a variety show act, and dive into some grocery delivery drama. Thanks to our sponsors, Staples and Instacart, your companies' digital footprint is safe on this podcast. 

 

Then at (49:00), these four geezers get going on the bass and talk Black Sabbath's 1971 heavy metal album—Master of Reality. We discuss downtuning, the best covers of Children of the Grave, and the best songs that cover the guitar riff from Sweet Leaf.

 

Next week, we're off to never never land when we become the best Metallica podcast and cover The Black Album.

Tori Amos: Little Earthquakes (1992) Ep. 233

To all of our Tori Amos fans out there, we're doubly sorry because this is our best podcast about Tori Amos and the 233rd greatest album of all time, Little Earthquakes. 

 

Before we get to the music, we're popping a wheelie on the zeitgeist and covering Beverly Hills 90210, Meghan Markle's homage to Big Bopper, and the price of Cadbury eggs. Then we're heading to Legoland for a celebrity sighting and to Dodger Stadium for some Dodger Dogs, which will cause all you bunheads to jettison this episode altogether. 

 

At (63:00), we take a brief musical detour to talk about Tori Amos's 1992 album, Little Earthquakes. We discuss Tori's musical insubordination, piano skills, and MTV unplugged performance. 

 

Next week, we're heading into the void and becoming the best Black Sabbath podcast when we discuss the 1971 heavy metal album Master of Reality.

John Coltrane: Giant Steps (1960) Ep. 232

This week's episode will have you feeling like a stranger in a strange land when you listen to the best podcast about John Coltrane and the 232nd greatest album of all time, Giant Steps.

 

Before we get to the music, we'll help you get hella full with some pancake preparation tips straight from a random grocery store clerk. We also enjoy some record store zen featuring new and used albums. Then we provide some travel tips for all of you heading to Ireland and Costa Rica...passport, pants, and electrolytes....you may want to write that down. 

 

Then, at (55:00), we turn this taco truck into a Ferrari and become the best jazz podcast by breaking down John Coltrane's seminal jazz album. We discuss Coltrane's devotion to jazz music, chord changes, and the fastest songs of all time. 

 

Next week's episode is certain to include many previous things when we become the best Tori Amos podcast and cover her debut studio album, Little Earthquakes.

Tom Petty: Damn the Torpedoes (1979) Ep. 231

Folks, we are seeding lots of stuff this eps, from the Golden Girls to the members of the podcast, we are ranking it! Then we find out we have a new fan, we talk live shows, and Aaron blows our mind with his big announcement about something that will make his life miserable. 

 

Then we become the best Tom Petty Podcast when we talk about his final album on the list. We talk about lawsuits, albums that never made #1, and what the hell is going on with this album cover!

Best of Beck Did it Better: Aretha Franklin: Lady Soul (1968) Ep. 231

Aretha Franklin was born on March 25th 1942 (people love this bit) so it would have been her 83rd birthday. Let's celebrate by listening to us talk about her. What a perfect gift! 

We are all over the place so we might be taking a few weeks off but you should take some time to listen to this old episode that we all agreed was "pretty good"
