Beck Did It Better

206. Low by David Bowie (1977)

This week we become the best David Bowie podcast when we talk about his album Low? Do you love soundscapes? Hate hits? You will love this one! 

Aaron had two stains on his pants this weekend from the Mayor of Oakland. 

We start by talking about Mighty Ducks 2 (quack quack), Varsity Blues, and falling in the shower before we ask for MORE POWER and talk about how much we like the first half of the album and then we slog through the back half. You know we are talking stonefruits and the strip clubs at Aaron's farmer's market.

 

Next week, we have a banger ep as we talk Eagles and their album Eagles. 

205. Cat Stevens: Tea for the Tillerman (1970)

We become the best Cat Stevens podcast by talking about his 1970 hit Tea for the Tillerman. We look at how good his songs sound in the hands of Mr. Big and then talk about the exact opposite of Mr. Big. 

 

Warning..... new character has dropped on the show!  Aaron is keeping up with his great life and Matt finally tells us what women want.

 

Rob figured out the best way to end arguments with people on the street.

Next week we are looking at David Bowie's Low. An album so strange, I went on the David Bowie Subreddit and they all love it more than anything. 

Beck Did It Again! (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis

Listen. 

It's Labor Day weekend. The worst time of the year. 

 

School is starting. Thirty some weeks until the next summer. Everyone goes on vacation this weekend, except Rob who sits in his room and complains.

 

Plus Oasis is back in the news by announcing a new tour and the text chain is alive with people wanting to go. This release is dedicated to everyone who tried to buy tickets and it turns out Ticketmaster still hasn't quite mastered selling tickets. 

 

Also, I have no idea what happened in this episode, I will be listening with you.

204. Graduation by Kanye West (2017

Good morning! The anticipation for this week's episode is palpable. Unfortunately, we don't know what record we are covering today.

 

So, before we get to the album, we tentatively jump into a mosh pit of live concert discussion with some ticket-buying advice, a breakdown of Def Leppard's hits, and an address about whether it's okay to wear a band's T-shirt to a concert. We also celebrate a game-winning shot, relive the Olympic viewing experience, and order some meat thermometers for a B-to-B experience even Randy Moss would call a disgusting act. Rob, one big nut or one tiny nut?

 

Then at (57:00), the podcast gets stronger, and we become the best podcast about Kanye West and the 204th greatest album of all time, Graduation. We discuss the stadium rock influence on this album, the records that influenced Kanye, and whether this album changed perspectives on what is possible in rap music (at least according to Wikipedia). 

 

Next week will be a wild world when we become the best Cat Stevens podcast and best Yusuf Islam podcast and discuss Tea for the Tillerman.

 

 

203. Pink Moon By Nick Drake (1972)

Welcome to the best Nick Drack Podcast and a podcast where we talk about the album Pink Moon. We talk a lot about the cabin this week and Matt tells us about his new skill. 

 

Aaron is back on PTA duty but is too busy with all his Guys' nights, Russ is on a concert bender and Rob's kid tells the perfect joke. 

 

Then we learn about Matt's new drinking game and talk about Pink Moon. We also learn about songs and artists influenced by the short career of Nick Drake and talk about this really fun album. 

 

Next week, are you trying to seduce me Mrs. Robinson? We are a podcast talking about Graduation by Kanye West
