Beck Did It Better

Adele: 21 (2011)

The Beck Did it Better podcast is officially perfect for someone like you, because this week we become the best podcast about Adele and the 137th greatest album of all time, 21.

 

Before we discuss the album, this episode reflects on all the emotions of a breakup when we celebrate national foreskin day, take a voicemail about weeds, and break down the best way to eat Cadbury Eggs. We also discuss the Apple Musical Classical app, pre-mixed cocktails, the best Rocky villains, and the best airplane food.

 

Then at (52:00) we remind you that, for us, this podcast isn't over when we discuss Adele's second studio album 21. We break down how to pronounce Adele, the best songs written by Dan Wilson, and the final twist in the last song (which seems pretty apparent if you listen to the lyrics). 

 

Next week, we'll be sure to justify your love for this podcast when we become the best Madonna podcast and break down her greatest hits album, The Immaculate Collection.

 

 

 

Funkadelic: Maggot Brain (1971)

We've got a hunch... this podcast outta be defunct...but not before we ride the psychedelic wave into becoming the best podcast about the Funkadelic and the 136th greatest album of all time, Maggot Brain. 

 

If your expectations for this episode were low, we delivered when we take a voicemail about studying abroad, discuss exotic animals, and provide a music video breakdown of DJ Snake's and Lil Jon's Turn Down for What, which is certain to give you an RHE. We also discuss bar hopping, how long to wait at a restaurant, and desert sharing etiquette. Turns out that if you base your desert sharing on credit, and the carrot cake is gone, checks you signed with cheesecake in the fridge, come back insufficient funds. 

 

Then at (47:00) we move on to some other strains of thought when we discuss Funkadelic's third studio album, Maggot Brain. We discuss Jimmy Hendrix's influence on George Clinton and Eddie Hazel, Funkadelic's influence on hip-hop, and the best songs with deep bass voices. 

 

Rumour has it that next week we'll become the best Adele podcast when we go rolling in the deep in her second studio album, 21.

U2: The Joshua Tree (1987)

We still are not the podcast you are looking for with this week's episode looking at U2 and The Joshua Tree. Are we the best U2 podcast? Hmmmm... We are at least 3rd. 

This week, we talk about college life, European baseball, very cool things about you getting deleted off the internet, Aaron having pink eye, Matt having a vegas warning, and Russell is not in trouble this week but wait until the next one! 

Then we get into the album and it is like the mighty axe. It starts off fast and then ends with it just hanging there upside down. Maybe that is just how my friend Greta sees it. 

Oh well. You already have an opinion about U2 so whatever. 

 

Next week, we hit  Maggot Brain by The Funkadelic and you know it is an Aaron album because it starts with a 10 minute solo and no one will download that episode. 

 

 

The Fugees: The Score (1996)

READY OR NOT, HERE WE COME. This week we become the best Fugees podcast as we talk about their 2nd, final, and best album The Score! 

We discuss their manager, Mr. Fuji, gross chairs, and fuzzy toilet seats. Then we get a call from a true G and discuss our bartending styles. Finally, Aaron talks about skin routines, and his jukebox bangers and we get into Girl Scout Cookies and what we call them might (not) surprise you. 

We have two lists tonight (one is simply the best) and check out Rob's favorite grammy category (and Aaron talks about his favorite Granny categories). 

 

At (1:02:00) we start talking about the album, alternative hip hop, and how this album is a huge part of our teenage years. 

 

Check us out next week when we become the first podcast to talk about U2 and the Joshua Tree. 

 

 

 

Joni Mitchell: Hejira (1976)

If you amateurs are having trouble downloading this episode we recommend that you move your gong away from your router because you don't want to miss the best podcast about Joni Mitchell and the 133rd greatest album of all time, Hejira.

 

But before we get to the album we have a weekend at Bernie's situation going on when we take a call from a traffic cone and become the best podcast about The Last of Us on HBO. We also discuss ordering spicy food, a Valentine's Day balloon disaster, and the best ice breakers for a dinner party.

 

Then at (51:00) we sing our own song for Sharon and discuss Joni Mitchell's 1976 folk jazz album, Hejira. We discuss Joni Mitchell's vocal presence, the best fretless bass songs, and the inspiration for the Law and Order theme song. If you skipped forward to this part of the podcast to hear Pee Wee's balloon trick, an Alan Jackson video breakdown, and our thoughts on male implants, sorry you've got the wrong Joni Mitchell episode, you should check out our Court and Spark episode instead!

 

Next week, ready or not, here we come with the best Fugees podcast when we discuss the 1996 hip hop album, the Score.......Does anyone else smell toast?
