Beck Did It Better

125.The Beastie Boys: Paul’s Boutique (1989)

HEY LADIES and gentlemen! Today we are becoming the best podcast about Paul's Botique by the evolving Beastie Boys. We talk about how this is another album where the artists got to do what they want and showed why they are on the Rolling Stone Top 500 list! 

 

But first, the guys talk about a bunch of smart stuff like personal grooming, personal growth in a gi, personal cleaning in the basement, and whether or not someone would take it personally if your gift is more of a concept instead of a gift. 

 

Call 802 277 Beck and leave a message so we love you and buy a shirt from the store here. All proceeds got to charity. 

 

NEXT WEEK: We talk about My Life My Life My Life with the Queen of Hip Hop Soul as we become the best podcast about Mary J. Blige. 

 

 

Happy New Year to our wonderful fans!

 

 

124. U2: Achtung Baby (1991)

What better way to start 2023 than with a gift that keeps on giving the whole year in the best podcast about U2 and the 124th greatest album of all time, Achtung Baby?

 

But before we get to the album Aaron takes us through his mysterious ways and shares his best books, music, and food of 2022. We also discuss Christmas inflatables maintenance, sleeping styles, and another unfortunate hotel incident.

 

Then at (35:00) we take this episode over the edge when we discuss U2's Grammy Award-winning alternative rock album, Achtung Baby. We talk about U2's guitar sound, why people disdain U2 (and hot dog-flavored water), and the best songs portraying characters.

123. Led Zeppelin: II (1969)

What podcast should you listen to if you want to hear 5,000 songs? Top 5 answers on the board. Survey says...the best podcast about Led Zeppelin and the 123rd greatest album of all time, Led Zeppelin II...aye aye captain.

 

But before we get to the album we talk about Rod Stewart and the benefits of stand-up desks. We also discuss how much you should pay for a Christmas tree, spending the holidays with the inlaws, and the worst experiences on a flight tonight. We also become the best animal podcast when we talk about raccoons and adopting cats. 

 

Then at (39:00) we take you home when we cover Led Zeppelin's second studio album from 1969, nice. We talk about the songs and artists that influenced (and sued) Led Zeppelin, whether Led Zeppelin has the best opening tracks and the best songs with gongs.

 

In next week's episode, our mysterious ways will prove that Beck Did it Even Better than the real thing when we become the best U2 podcast and U2's 1991 album Achtung Baby.  

 

 

122. Nine Inch Nails: The Downward Spiral (1994)

This Yur-End Beck Did it Better has decided to celebrate the holiday spirit by complicating our listeners with the best podcast about Nine Inch Nails, and the 122nd greatest album of all time, The Downward Spiral.

 

But before we desecrate you we get an amazing voicemail about whether it's ok to play explicit lyrics in front of kids. We also become the best Christmas podcast when we talk about attending children's Christmas concerts, professional Christmas lights, and purchasing holiday inflatables with rebates. We also discuss personal intimacy in the champagne room, in futuristic vehicles, and at Walgreens next to the gingerbread village kits.

 

Then at (53:00) we discuss Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock album, The Downward Spiral. We talk about classical music's influence on Trent Reznor, leitmotifs, and the best songs where one person played all the instruments. We also discuss a hypothetical relationship between Trent Reznor and Dave Coulier, how to make a rusty nail cocktail, and whether Closer is the second sexiest song ever. 

 

Next week the guys plan to ramble on about Moby Dick for 90 minutes when we become the best Led Zeppelin podcast and cover their second studio album, Led Zeppelin II. Also, we'd appreciate it if you'd share this episode with a friend. Hurry! Don't You Care!

121.Elvis Costello: This Years Model (1978)

You really don't need this podcast, but you're really going to feel it when we hit you deep in the sidewall this week with the best podcast about Elvis Costello, and the 121st greatest album of all time, This Year's Model.

 

But before we talk about the music we prove that we're a bottom 2% podcast when we take a voicemail about dreams, changing tires, charity events, and holiday parties. We also become the best Star Wars podcast, kind of, when we talk custom lightsabres. Finally, we discuss whether it's ok to play video games while someone else cleans your house.

 

The discussion in the first half of this episode was at full capacity and the output was great so at (49:00) we decided to talk about Elvis Costello's new wave punk pop album, This Year's Model. We discussed the Attractions musical contributions, the musicians who were banned from SNL, and pay some other lip service to some things about this album that I really can't recall.

 

Next week we're going to hurt your eardrums just to see if you still feel when we become the best Nine Inch Nails podcast and talk about their industrial rock album, The Downward Spiral.
