Beck Did It Better

Eagles: Hotel California (1976)

This week's episode could be heaven or it could be hell. But either way if you're looking for the best podcast about the Eagles and Hotel California, you can find it here any time of year.

 

But before we get to the album we need to determine whether this podcast is historically accurate or built on a lie. We discuss adults wearing costumes at Halloween parties, tips for hosting Thanksgiving, and whether the ghosts in Pac-Man are dead Pac-Men. We also become the best Buddy Holly podcast when we talk about the smash hit Buddy Holly musical. Finally we become the best unsolved mysteries podcast when our sleuth co-hosts try to uncover what caused the brown glob on Rob's shirt.

 

Then at (51:00) we show you the way when we discuss the 6th best selling album of all time, Hotel California by the Eagles. We discuss why people love the Eagles, why people hate the Eagles, and whether its "the Eagles", "The Eagles", or "Eagles". We also provide a Manhattan Transfer of music knowledge when we breakdown a list of songs with the best vocal arrangements. 

 

If this week's episode got your tickler file then we'll take you higher next week for the best Sly & the Family Stone podcast and the 119th greatest album of all time, Stand!

 

 

117. Kanye West: Late Registration (2005) (WITH LITTLE ROSIE!)

Sorry about the delay. If you don't know what I am talking about, you are not a real fan.

First of all, we're sorry. 

This week we are the best Kanye Podcast. We show you why we can't afford no gas as we talk about Mr. West's second album. The guys have on Aaron's brother and we get double-teamed by two guys who have strong opinions about albums that don't even have any lyrics. That is a sample of why we are the best Podcast about Late Registration by Kanye West. 

Rob is a Halloween hero, Aaron has a scary solo parenting moment, and we talk about our special feelings towards the THX sound .   

Russ goes for another round on his Vegas adventure. He basically went to a strip club and says it is art piece or something. Basically, it is pretty apparent that Vegas broke his brain. 

We get into Kanye's second album, we notice a few bits that forbode the future, and we bring in a ringer to talk about an album that may have been the last time Kanye was actually introspective. Again, we are so sorry. 

 

We get a special guest list about Mom's but no guest Rolling Going. That's messed up.

Next week, we talk about a group that is basically the opposite of Kanye when we become the best podcast on the Eagles and the best podcast on Hotel California. 

 

Sorry again. 

 

116. The Cure: Disintegration (1989)

Dear Penthouse Forum, this week we decided to take off our pants and jacket when recording the best podcast about The Cure and the 116th greatest album of all time, Disintegration.

 

Before we get to Robert Smith's spin moves on the album we take a voicemail about whether this podcast is kid friendly and what co-host we'd switch places with. We talk about fancy pumpkin patches and the optimum amount of time to stay in Las Vegas. We also become the best Lizzo podcast and best Blink 182 podcast when we discuss encores and ticket prices.

 

Then at (53:00) we serenade you with a love song and lullaby about sucking on chili dogs when we discuss The Cure's gothic rock album, Disintegration. We chat about cinematic music, 80s synth pop, and the best songs about getting older.

It's Halloween! And to celebrate, we're giving all you ghosts and goblins a special treat with the best podcast about Kendrick Lamar and the 115th greatest album of all time, Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City.

 

Before we get to the album, this episode kicks off with a list of the best scary songs straight from the big lake they called Gitche Gumee and a discussion of great Halloween costumes. We also talk marching band music, live-action remake movies, and Twitter likes.

 

Then at (1:01:00), we're putting some hot sauce all up in your Top Ramen when we discuss Kendrick Lamar and his first major label album Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City. We discuss Kendrick's ability to tell concise stories, album guest appearances, and the best songs written and produced by the Neptunes. And trust us, our milkshake will bring all the boys to the yard!

The Strokes: Is This It (2001)

Last nite the guys from Beck Did it Better challenged death to a podcast game for our soul and what resulted was the best podcast about The Strokes and the 114th greatest album of all time, Is This It.

 

But before we talk about the music we'd like to tell you about the volleyball court we're building and where we took the money from. We also talk about our biggest regrets, costume shaming, band-offs, and how to choose a pillow. We also talk about things you shouldn't do at a comedy show and the most embarrassing fast food restaurant to be seen in.

 

This week, for the first time ever, our hosts had the perfect length and duration at (53:00) when we started discussing The Strokes and their debut studio album, This Is It. We talk about the Strokes taking indie rock mainstream, danceable rock, and the best songs with false endings.
