Beck Did It Better

Beck Did It Again! (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis

Listen. 

It's Labor Day weekend. The worst time of the year. 

 

School is starting. Thirty some weeks until the next summer. Everyone goes on vacation this weekend, except Rob who sits in his room and complains.

 

Plus Oasis is back in the news by announcing a new tour and the text chain is alive with people wanting to go. This release is dedicated to everyone who tried to buy tickets and it turns out Ticketmaster still hasn't quite mastered selling tickets. 

 

Also, I have no idea what happened in this episode, I will be listening with you.

204. Graduation by Kanye West (2017

Good morning! The anticipation for this week's episode is palpable. Unfortunately, we don't know what record we are covering today.

 

So, before we get to the album, we tentatively jump into a mosh pit of live concert discussion with some ticket-buying advice, a breakdown of Def Leppard's hits, and an address about whether it's okay to wear a band's T-shirt to a concert. We also celebrate a game-winning shot, relive the Olympic viewing experience, and order some meat thermometers for a B-to-B experience even Randy Moss would call a disgusting act. Rob, one big nut or one tiny nut?

 

Then at (57:00), the podcast gets stronger, and we become the best podcast about Kanye West and the 204th greatest album of all time, Graduation. We discuss the stadium rock influence on this album, the records that influenced Kanye, and whether this album changed perspectives on what is possible in rap music (at least according to Wikipedia). 

 

Next week will be a wild world when we become the best Cat Stevens podcast and best Yusuf Islam podcast and discuss Tea for the Tillerman.

 

 

203. Pink Moon By Nick Drake (1972)

Welcome to the best Nick Drack Podcast and a podcast where we talk about the album Pink Moon. We talk a lot about the cabin this week and Matt tells us about his new skill. 

 

Aaron is back on PTA duty but is too busy with all his Guys' nights, Russ is on a concert bender and Rob's kid tells the perfect joke. 

 

Then we learn about Matt's new drinking game and talk about Pink Moon. We also learn about songs and artists influenced by the short career of Nick Drake and talk about this really fun album. 

 

Next week, are you trying to seduce me Mrs. Robinson? We are a podcast talking about Graduation by Kanye West

202. Homogenic by Bjork (1997)

G'day mate! Welcome to the land of the living. Download this episode and start listening to the best podcast about Bjork and the 202nd greatest album of all time, Homogenic. Warning this episode is RO RL and ordinary.

 

Before we unravel the album, we become the best podcast for food lovers and discuss last meals, ice cream flavors, being late for dinner, and lactose decisions that will leave your stomach bamboozled. We also chat about our signature moves and dream jobs and share a review of the Foo Fighters concert.

 

Then at (57:00) the alarm call goes out for Bjork and her electronica album Homogenic. We compare and contrast Bjork with Radiohead, discuss Icelandic choirs, and cover the artists with the most Grammy nominations without a win. We also talk about Nintendo music and have a surprise run-in during the celebrity death match between Beck and Bjork. 

 

Next week, Beck Did it Better will be the place to be when we become the best Nick Drake podcast and discuss the 1972 folk album, Pink Moon. 

201. Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest (1993)

Hey everyone, 

This week we hit our second A Tribe Called Quest Album and we pretty much become the best podcast about Midnight Marauders. We are talking USA up all night, Jock Jams, and the time Rob went to Military School. 

 

Aaron talks about Rucking and Rob talks about talking about getting horny. Everyone thinks its normal that Aaron orders messed up stuff at the ball game and we go over the insane music choices our nephews are making.

 

Then we go over Midnight Marauders and talk about how this album is a little more grown up than Low End Theory but still fun. Then Rob talks about talking about being horny again. 

 

Next week, we have Bjork with Homogenic and no one will get sick during the recording of the podcast.
