Beck Did It Better

232. John Coltrane: Giant Steps (1960)

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.

231. Tom Petty: Damn the Torpedoes (1979)

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)

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" 

 

 

230. Rihanna: Anti (2016)

Folks, 

 

It's Rhianna and we are talking dating in Minneapolis, when children become like their parents and the album Anti. 

 

It is too much Work work work work work to write this so just enjoy!

229. Patsy Cline: The Ultimate Collection (2000)

This week, we do all our listeners dirty and talk about the splatter. But even if you think the filth is so wrong, your cheatin' heart can still enjoy the best podcast about Patsy Cline and the 229th greatest album of all time, The Ultimate Collection.

 

But before we get to the album, we introduce you to our virulent lover and chat about which sporting event every fan must experience before they die. We also share some car buying tips, talk employee reviews, and get AI's feedback on the podcast.

 

Then at (1:02:00) we start foolin' around and cover Patsy Cline's Ultimate Collection. We discuss how Patsy Cline became a country/pop crossover star, the #1 jukebox song of all time, and the greatest artists that Patsy Cline influenced. And for any of you who listened just to figure out Patsy Cline's birthday, I'll save you the two hours: it was September 8, 1932.

 

Next week, we'll make the same ol' mistakes when we become the best Rihanna podcast and cover her 2014 album Anti.
