Beck Did It Better

95. Drake: Take Care (2011)

Mmm mmm mmm mmm...Mmmm mmm mmm mmm. We couldn't quite explain it, we've always just been there to record the best podcast about Drake and the 95th greatest album of all time, Take Care.

 

But before we get to the album a downloader calls in to express his displeasure with the guys for replacing the Rembrandts with Party in the USA. Then the guys discuss making new friends at the airport, concerts in the dark, and surprise birthday parties (that some of your co-hosts choose not to attend). We then talk about new music quests after finishing the top 500 album list that will make you a licky boom boom down.

 

Then, on the Bach end of the podcast, at (52:00) we're talking about Drake's second studio album, Take Care. We discuss why Drake is so successful and his chameleonic approach to making songs for everybody. We also have a number of guest appearances making this our best podcast about The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Lil Wayne.

Please mention feet if you do review the show. If we can get "ROSIE LOVES FEET" to be something that is searchable online, I feel like this will all be worth it. 

 

If you believe they put a man on the moon then next week's episode is for you when we become the best R.E.M podcast and discuss Automatic For the People. Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

94. The Stooges: Fun House (1970)

 

OK, we admit it. We have been on a number of dates to psychedelic improv shows with other listeners before. But this week we're here to make some special memories with you when we become the best podcast about the Stooges and the 94th greatest album of all time, Fun House.

 

But before we get to the album, a voicemail schools the guys on the A.C. Slater, making this our best podcast about Saved by the Bell. Then the guys discuss improv comedy shows, Rube Goldberg machines, how much of your dating history should you share. A couple of the guys also get further on the edge on a Flight Tonight, and its gets hotter than intensity.

 

Then at (52:00) we're talking about The Stooges' second studio album, Fun House, led by Iggy Pop, or Iggy Soda for our east coast listeners out there. We discuss how the punk movement was a rejection of the hippies, how this is a companion piece to the emerging funk genre, and the best screams in rock music. We also become the best podcast about Greek mythology and mathematicians when the guys explore Rob's Sisaphysian ordeal and the Archimides' screw.

Buy a shirt here  every cent goes to charity

 

 

Next week we become the best Drake podcast when we talk about Drizzy's hip-hop R&B album and we can guarantee that the Pino grigio spritzers will be flowing!

93. Missy Elliott: Supa Dupa Fly (1997)

If this week's episode were a pop flavor it would be Mountain Dew Flaming Hot! Because this is the best Missy Elliott podcast that covers the 93rd greatest album of all time, Supa Dupa Fly...

 

But before discussing the Misdemeanor, a listener calls in and commits a Rolling Felon when he rats out one of the guys for writing a love song about having a sandwich in his pocket. In addition, we're riding the friendly skies again with a couple of segments of Flight Tonight and discussing whether Beck should be opening for Arcade Fire. We then talk Turner and Hooch, Who Got the Hooch, and baba ganoush...OK actually, somebody made us talk about nutritional yeast, and the nooch got loose.

 

Then at (59:00) we're chatting about Missy Elliott's debut studio album, Supa Dupa Fly. We discuss how Missy Elliot's first album was produced by her own label, the best Timbaland songs, and whether the singing and rapping on this album was a precursor to Drake (the rapper...not the relays you Iowa listeners).

Next week we become the best The Stooges podcast when we talk about the proto-punk album, Fun House. If you were going to compare next week's episode to a pop it would be Coke's MagiCan because it comes with prizes and foul smelling substances that discourage consumption. Seriously, check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagiCan

92. The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Axis: Bold as Love (1967)

You don't have to wait until tomorrow for another great podcast, because this week Beck Did it Better is the best podcast about Jimi Hendrix and the 92nd greatest album of all time, Axis: Bold as Love, not to be confused with Hendrix's other great albums with Underline as Love or Subscript as Love.

 

But before we listen to Jimi we get a live call in from the Drake Relays, making this the best track and field podcast to listen to. In addition, the guys cut loose talking consumer slogans that we just can't quit, the best BBQ restaurants in the southeast and Minneapolis, and taking in a show at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater. In addition, Rob has a habit that Aaron declares is the weirdest thing he has ever heard on the podcast.   

 

Then at (48:00) we talk about Jimi Hendrix's third album on the list, Axis: Bold as Love. We discuss the jazz influence on this album, what direction Hendrix would have taken had he lived past 27, and how Jimi Hendrix ruined Eric Clapton's life. We also run down the best songs not sung by the lead singer. The conversation on this episode is truly slow roasted.

This episode will fall into the sea, eventually, but don't worry, because next week's episode is the bomb diggy and the best Missy Elliott podcast when we talk Supa Dupa Fly. 

 

 

 

91. Bruce Springsteen: Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)

This week Beck Did it Better takes you to the promised land with a hilarious episode that everyone will enjoy unless you're a dumbshit podcast commenter on Facebook that thinks our 90's morning radio show doesn't really qualify as a podcast. Regardless, this is the best podcast about Bruce Springsteen and the 91st greatest album of all time, Darkness on the Edge of Town.

 

But before we get to the album, there is some darkness on the edge of this episode when a Facebook commenter provides a critique of the podcast and specifically the vocal stylings of the main host. Then the guys are honoring all the mothers out there by sharing our favorite mother's day memories. The conversation also touches on the concert of a lifetime, that the main host had nothing to do with, our favorite jobs that didn't make the resume, and whether our dozens of fans think we should just end this quest already. And this week we're running a special, where you'll save big money, you'll save big money when you download this podcast for free.

Then at (55:00) minutes, we talk about Bruce Springsteen's heartland rock album, Darkness on the Edge of Town. We discuss big builds, Springsteen's four corners approach to album creation, and the best songs about cars.
