Beck Did It Better

225. Derek and the Dominos: Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (1970)

If you get lucky rolling your twelve-sided Flamingo dice today, you'll land on the best podcast about Derek and the Dominos and the 226th greatest album of all time, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. Careful though, last time Catherine the Great rolled the 12-sided dice she ended up leaving quite the legacy that would make even Big and Rich blush.

 

Before we get to the album we hold our annual State of the Union celebrate great customer service and provide tips on the use of warm water that don't involve your dead-ass Christmas tree. We're also talking bad memory songs, reviewing the Kendrick Lamar halftime show, and breaking down Shania Twain's Any Man of Mine music video.

 

Then at (1:20:00) we tell the truth about Derek and the Dominos' only studio album. We discuss Eric Clapton's infatuation with George Harrison's wife, the piano coda on Layla, and the best Duane Allman guitar riffs.  

 

Next week we're going to rip it up when we become the best Little Richard podcast and cover Here's Little Richard.

225. Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002)

(Radio noises.... static.... beeps and boops)

 

I have a lament! This week's episode is like trying on a warm bathing suit at Target, kind of a bummer. It's also the best podcast about Wilco and the 225th greatest album of all time, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

 

But before we get to the music, we're cracking open a 30-pack of Hamm's and talking about martial arts movies and the best James Bond. We also become the best podcast about video games when we cover Goldeneye, The Oregon Trail, and Drug Wars. Then we share some Eagles trivia, Gen Z kinks, and the best mini-bar snacks. We also experience a celebrity run-in, but we're playing it cool.

 

Then, at (54:00), we head to some poor places and cover Wilco's fourth studio album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. We discuss the documentary about the album, the beeps and boops all over it, and the best albums rejected by their initial record labels.

 

Next week, we'll ease your worried mind when we become the best Derek and the Dominos podcast when we cover Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

224. The Chicks: Fly (1999)

What I'd like to have right now is for all you podcast-listening sweathogs to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and play the best podcast about The Chicks and the 224th greatest album of all time, Fly. Warning: The clarinet in this episode is a rude awakening that sounds like the main host is making love to the cat from Peter and the Wolf.

 

Before we get to the album, we head to the world of movies and TV to discuss Three Men and a Baby, Magnum P.I., Look Who's Talking Too, and the age-old debate of Becky vs. Darlene. Then, we put our customer service worker on hold for 30 minutes to discuss Scandinavian sleep style and comforters versus duvets. Finally, we turn up the volume on local Minnesota musicians, guitar-playing bartenders, and the 1997 How Do I Live song controversy involving LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood.

 

Then, at (1:03:00), we become the best 90's country music podcast and discuss The Chick's fifth studio album, Fly. We discuss the album's production quality, great country music songwriters, and the best artists who influenced The Chicks.

 

Next week's episode will prove to be a Radio Cure when we become the best podcast about Wilco and the art rock album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. All Hail...Aaron Judge! Oh yeah...F Menards.

223. John Lennon: Imagine (1971)

Imagine a world where no one takes care of their voices!

 

We are back from vegas; and you can tell. (I edited out a 1000 coughs thanks to Joe) 

We are low energy but because we love our fans, we are talking bathroom adventures, Aaron's new car, and Russell the Chef. 

 

We then listen to one of the greatest songs ever and it is just the parody song! That song Imagine is pretty good too. I think I would have done a parody song like "I went in all the glory holes" or something with feet... I don't know. 

 

We barely make it through this ep but we do and it actually came out better than I thought.

Aaron missed some important stuff last ep so Rob caught him up on the important news of the day.
