Beck Did It Better

Jeff Buckley: Grace (1994)

(Editors Note: DID I FORGET TO POST THE EPISODE YESTERDAY BECAUSE IT WAS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL? DO YOU THINK I WENT OUT WITH TEACHERS AFTER SCHOOL AND FORGOT TO POST IT?)

 

Here's a little gift from daddy live from the smash pad! Some call this the Kobayashi Maru of podcasts, others call it the best podcast about Jeff Buckley and 147th greatest album of all time, Grace.

 

But before we talk about the music, we welcome you to our silent disco. If you turn on your green headphones, you'll hear a voicemail about monkey bites and animal attack payoffs. Then if you turn on your red headphones you'll jam to some talk on assimilating to a new roommate, vacationing in Hawaii, and attending college reunions. Then if you turn on your porta-potty blue liquid color headphones we'll discuss traveling with adult toys.

 

Then at (53:00) we take the headphones off our big Lurch heads and discuss Jeff Buckley and his only studio album Grace. We discuss Buckley's soaring vocals, the best songs that were influenced by Jeff Buckley, and the most beautiful song ever (unless you're out on audible exhales).

 

Next week we invite all of you super-rich kids back to enjoy the best Frank Ocean podcast when we cover the R&B singer's debut studio album, Channel Orange.

Blondie: Parallel Lines (1978)

Today's podcast is the audio equivalent of having sex with your shirt on. This may not be our finest hour, but Hans Blix has determined that this Meg from Pittsburgh production is the best podcast about Blondie, and the 146th greatest album of all time, Parallel Lines.

 

But before we get to the album this episode has the perfect amount of hairy when we discuss AI, dude shoes, and the milkman. We also ramp up the dad talk when we share the best burger recipe, talk car insurance, and explore what it feels like to have your son see you get dominated by a tiny dog. 

 

Then at (57:00) the nonsense fades away and we radiate when we discuss Blondie and their 1978 album, Parallel Lines. We discuss new wave music, the best vocal moments from rock's greatest frontwomen, and famous bands that changed their name. 

 

Hallelujah, this episode if finally over. Join us next week as we share our secret chord and we become the best Jeff Buckley podcast and discuss his only studio album, Grace.

Eminem: The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)

This week we're offering free downloads to all of our AARP listeners when we become the best podcast about Eminem and the 145th greatest album of all time, The Marshall Mathers LP. 

 

But before we head to the year 2000, we treat you poor unfortunate souls to some discussion about black eyes, Disney villains, and a jiu jitsu lesson we'll never forget. We also make an adjustment to prove this is the best yoga podcast.  

 

Then at (49:00) we talk about the greatest selling rap album of all time, The Marshall Mathers LP. We discuss Eminem's technical rap skills, the best songs that popularized new words, and why this album just doesn't hold up anymore.

One way, or another, we'll be back next week to become the best Blondie podcast when we discuss the 1978 album, Parallel Lines

Led Zeppelin: Physical Graffiti (1975)

Is that your new Lenny Kravitz vibrato or are you just excited about the old Chi Chi's?  Normally Beck Did it Better goes over the top, but this week we're going through the fly and running a jailbreak on the best podcast about Led Zeppelin and the 144th greatest album of all time, Physical Graffiti. 

 

But before we talk about the music, we sit down for some coffee talk and chat about music memorabilia, the best songs from the 90s, and whether to throw out your old CDs, DVDs, and baseball cards. Sorry Wreckx n Effect, Rounders, and Sid Bream Topps, you're gone.

 

Then at (57:00) we serve up a big slice of custard pie and talk about Led Zeppelin and their 1975 double album, Physical Graffiti. We discuss Led Zeppelin's live jam sessions, Led Zeppelin's best song, and the best songs featuring a guitar tremolo.

 

Next week we're going to be providing some type of public service announcement when we become the best Eminem podcast and discuss his 2000 hip hop album, the Marshall Mathers LP. We may talk about the album or we might just revisit some of our greatest hits from Highway 61...to the Danger Zone!

The Velvet Underground: Velvet Underground (not the one with the banana) 1969

Oh drat! Some might say this week's episode is a travesty. But why would anyone ever delete the best podcast about The Velvet Underground and the 143rd greatest album of all time, The Velvet Underground (without Nico).

 

Before we get to the music, we invite you to the room where it happens to discuss monster trucks, the most expensive concert tickets we've ever purchased, and the best things to do in Vegas. We also review The Super Mario Brothers Movie, go on an epic rant about fancy ballpark food, and discuss what it's like to date a cheerleader. We also confirm that we have nothing to say about the Octomom.

 

Then at (56:00), Candy says it's time to talk about The Velvet Underground and their self-titled folk rock album from 1969. We discuss spoken word tracks, the Juno soundtrack, and the best female drummers of all time.

 

Next week we'll try not to make you sick again when we trample you under our feet for the best Led Zeppelin podcast, when we cover the 1975 hard rock album, Physical Graffiti.
