Beck Did It Better

Buddy Holly: 20 Golden Greats (1978)

Merry Halloween everyone! Some of our listeners might call this episode a double decker bust but the rest of you pissants will recognize it as the best podcast about Buddy Holly and the 166th greatest album of all time, 20 Golden Greats. 

 

Before we get to the music we think it over and talk about leprechaun tag, the best things to do in San Francisco, and concerts at the Vegas Sphere. We also revive our annual graveyard smash with a list of the scariest songs of all time. 

 

Then at (52:00) we share some words of love on 20 Golden Greats, the greatest hits album by Buddy Holly & the Crickets. Can't you picture your grandpa fumbling a bra to these hits? We discuss how Buddy Holly is credited with the rock-and-roll lineup, the story behind Peggy Sue, and the best songs featuring the Bo Diddley Beat. 

 

Over the next week you can enjoy the silence, but next Tuesday we'll be back with the sweetest perfection when we become the best Depeche Mode podcast and discuss their electronic music album, Violator.

R.E.M.: Murmur (1983)

For all of our pro athlete listeners out there, tonight is the perfect night to dunk a basketball, cheat on your spouse, and then listen to the best podcast about R.E.M. and the 165th greatest album of all time, Murmur.

 

Before we get to the album, we show off our big cork and screw when we become the best wine podcast and provide a first timer's guide to Napa Valley. Then we thrown on our XXXL Big Johnson shirts and talk sports including Kirk Cousins attending the Twins game, youth soccer coaching, and whether it's OK to steal a YETI cooler off a public bike seat. Does that make you randy baby? YEEAAAHHHH BABY!!! 

 

Then at (1:00:00) we walk off the tipping point and discuss R.E.M. and their debut album, Murmur. We cover R.E.M.'s nonsense lyrics, their impact on other bands, and the best jangle pop songs of all time. 

 

If you join us next Tuesday, that'll be the day when we become the best Buddy Holly podcast and rave on about his 20 Golden Greats.

Johnny Cash: At Folsom Prison (1968)

Hello...my name is Little Dick Nick the Quick Hit Dip Shit, and this is the best podcast about Johnny Cash and the 164th greatest album of all time, At Folsom Prison. And for all you Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle podcast fans, this is also the #1 Krang Live Mashup Podcast of All Time. 

 

In all seriousness, we didn't have very lively stuff on this podcast, but we did make Paul Rudd laugh when we talked about claiming a best friend, the best way to talk to celebrities and kids who use their parents' first names. Then you can count on us to meet you in the parking lot to discuss the David Beckham Netflix series, whether a hall pass is good for a relationship, and what not to do on Beale Street.

 

Then at (53:00) we're combing our hair and going to Jackson to discuss Johnny Cash's first live album, At Folsom Prison. We cover the Johnny Cash career resurgence, singing along with the Man in Black, and the best country music vocal performances of all time.

 

Next up, for both of you listening, we are going to take a pilgrimage to a radio-free Europe and become the best R.E.M. podcast when we cover their debut album, Murmur.

 

 

Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977)

Listeners...we live in a world that has music podcasts, and those music podcasts have to be guarded by co-hosts with amazing jokes. Who's gonna do it? You, Bob Ross? You, John Popper? The Beck Did it Better podcast has a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for more music discussion, and you curse our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles talk. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what we know....that this podcast, while tragic, is probably the best podcast about disco music; and that our existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, is the best podcast about the Bee Gees and 163rd greatest album of all time, the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

 

You don't want that truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you WANT to hear song parodies about cow pee and you NEED to hear us talk about sex tourism in Ft. Pierre, South Dakota.

 

We have neither the time or the inclination to explain ourselves to the dumbshit single-finger shifters who skip ahead to (54:00) to listen to the amazing Saturday Night Fever analysis that we provide and then question the manner in which we provide it. 

 

We would rather that you just said "thank you" and recommend Beck Did it Better to your friends. Otherwise, we suggest you join us next week for the best Johnny Cash podcast, when we pull back the Long Black Veil on At Folsom Prison. Either way, we don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to.

 

Did we talk about cock cages for a second week in a row on this podcast? We did the job!

 

Did we talk about the real big nasty ones on this podcast? YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT WE DID!!!

Pulp: Different Class (1995)

For all you common people looking for the best podcast about Pulp and the 162nd greatest album of all time, Different Class. Whoot..There it Is! 

 

But before we get to the album, the first half of this episode is where all the dicks hang out when discuss monitored drug testing, toe tapping in airport bathrooms, and cock cage chastity devices, Then the podcast is kind of nice when we talk about how to make the best frothy espresso martini, MTV themed cosumes, and driving in silience. We also shake our groove thing on a record store adventure and discuss the best movie soundtracks, the modern day Huey Lewis, and the best songs written by Dennis Linde. 

 

Then at (1:12:00) we discuss Pulp's 1995 album, Different Class. We discuss the best Britpop anthems, Pulp versus Oasis, and the best songs with spelled-out lyrics. We also get into an unbelievable inception list that will make you sweat when we discuss the best songs on Jock Jams Volume 1. 

 

Beck Did it Better is stayin alive next week when we become the best Bee Gees podcast and cover one of the greatest selling albums of all time, the Saturday Night Fever soundtrackx
