238. Kraftwerk: Trans-Europe Express (1977)

This podcast may give you an existential crisis when we Marching Dice a John Philip Sousa song on your face and become the best podcast about Kraftwerk and 238th greatest album of all time, Trans-Europe Express. 

 

Before we get to the music, we let our haters become our motivators for some discussion of dominatrix dreams, one-arm pushups, and concert posters. We also celebrate a mental health day with another pack of Boston Baked Beans. Good luck trying to do a carpool karaoke version of this part of the pod with Chicken James Cordon Bleu.

 

Then, at (1:13:00), these four showroom dummies cover the 1977 electronic album, Trans-Europe Express. We discuss Krautrock music, sequencers, and Kraftwerk's influence on Dr. Dre.

 

Next week's episode will feature a dope beat as we become the best Boogie Down Production podcast and cover the 1987 hip-hop album, Criminal Minded.

237. Willie Nelson: Red Headed Stranger (1975)

You've got a golden ticket so come and spread out on the bed and listen as the Beck Did it Better Gang talk bachelor party memories as we beg for a party. We talk artists who took a dip, what conversations Aaron's facewash is starting at a party, and we get DOs and DON'Ts about seeing an NBA playoff game. Matt is having a gay old time shopping online and Russell tells us how someone having a boyfriend is NOT a rejection. 

 

 

Then we delve into an album we found out we LOVED and talk skiing with Willie, songs about another woman, and we listen to one of the worst Beach Boys songs I have ever heard. Then we talk about LIMP body parts.

236. Daft Punk: Discovery (2001)

According to PSA Collectibles Authentication and Grading Service, this is the best podcast about Daft Punk and the 236th greatest album of all time, Discovery. Certified Mint!

 

Some say self-awareness is a life skill. But I say that people who download an electronic music podcast actually want to hear stories about old guy behavior in the locker room, giving up on your dreams, and the retail crusaders cancelling REI memberships. We're also sure that all of you listeners from around the country are super pumped to hear about some St. Olaf nostalgia, including Friday Flowers, a perfectly unacceptable use of tobacco, cafeteria pranks, and Big Scary.

 

At (1:06:00), the episode gets harder, better, faster, and stronger when we become the best podcast about electronic music, covering Daft Punk's second studio album. We discuss the inspiration for this album, Daft Punk's use of sampling, and the best songs that made it to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Playlist.

 

Next week's episode will leave your blue eyes crying in the rain when we become the best Willie Nelson podcast and discuss the outlaw country album Red Headed Stranger. 

235. Metallica: Metallica (1991)

He says "I dub thee unforgiven?" 

 

I can't believe it. we are talking Metallica Metallica. We are basically the best Metallica podcast AGAIN! 

Next week is Daft Punk Discovery and we don't mention sex robots more than a dozen times.
