Beck Did It Better

The Rolling Stones: Exile on Main Street (with the Honky Tonk Man!)

On today's episode we are all the way up to album number 7! Only 493 left! We are talking about one of the all time great bands and one of the all time worst mixes. (Not Mickses!) 

 

From Tumbling Dice to Happy, this album has about 3 songs you will know but this double album takes you on a trip through honky tonk bars where you will hear boogie, the blues and some gospel if you really strain your ears! We also talk about the best way to listen to these top albums and we check in with the greatest song of all time, the theme for WWF wrestler and dad lookalike The Honky Tonk Man. 

And you know we are talking about our soap-style today! Are we loofah boys? Are we washcloth men? Are we bodywash bros? Are we just so lazy that it is only a bar of soap? 

 

All that and hear about Russell's date and her dirty mouth! Shoot us our first ever email at beckdiditbetter@gmail.com and follow us on twitter and Instagram @beckdiditbetter

The Rolling Stones: Exile on Main Street (.... starring the Honky Tonk Man) THE BEST OF BECK DID IT BETTER

Hey everyone, 

This is the best of BECK DID IT BETTER. Our podcast looks at the top 500 albums as listed by Rolling Stone Magazine. The only problem? There is too much cool stuff to talk about! 

So we made these short clips to give people a little taste of the show. The full episodes are released on Tuesdays. Make sure you subscribe so you will never miss an episode!

 

In this clip we reflect on Aaron's worst concert experience and we ask the question a lot of people are too scared to ask... What is a honky tonk bar. You might not be able to guess which former WWF wrestler we then talk about. HINT: IT'S THIS ONE.

If you want to get a hold of us, email us at beckdiditbetter@gmail.com or follow us on twitter and instagram @beckdiditbetter

 

Have something to say but no podcast to say it on? You are in luck. Leave a message on the BECK LINE and we will play it on the show! We are desperate for content! 

Call 820 277 BECK (2325) to leave a message and if it is about the Honky Tonk Man, there is a 100% chance we will play it! 

 

Marvin Gaye: Whats Going On (with all this jazz flute?)

In this timely episode, we talk about Marvin Gaye's classic "What's Going On" and how his words ring as true now as they did in 1971. Before we get too deep into the percussion and sublime vocals, we take a detour to talk about two VERY important things. 

1. Rob's top 10 commandments from dating in his younger years and his embarrassing reaction to getting dumped 

2. How Sisqo ripped off the Beatles to make one of his many hit songs and why he has that grey hair (Hint: Look to the old testament!) 

 

Russ gets a record player and we then explore the wild world of the Jazz Flute. Who is the best? What does a Jazz flute look like? Why is the target all out of Jazz Flute records? Why does Russell's mom have hundreds of these albums (or did before Russ stole them.) 

 

Take a look at this picture and you will see why this is now a Herbie Mann Podcast. Sorry, not sorry. 

 

We also pick some songs to play while we max out our deadlifts. Everyone on the podcast definitely knows what a deadlift is.

Marvin Gaye: What's Going On (..... with all this jazz flute?) THE BEST OF BECK DID IT BETTER-

[SORRY ABOUT THE SCREWUP EARLIER... I AM TELLING YOU, THESE EDITING PROGRAMS ARE HARD! Call into the BECK line to voice any complaints]

 

Welcome to The Best of Beck Did It Better. We want you to listen to our podcast. We spend every night trying to figure out how to get more listeners. Then it hit us! We need less.... of us! 

 

This is a short clip of the upcoming episode about Marvin Gaye's hit album What's Going On. In this section we talk about the jazz flute and then Matt finds THIS ALBUM COVER and then Russ tells us a dark secret that I promised him I would cut but I can't figure out how to! These computer programs are so complicated! 

 

To be honest, this clip is mostly us laughing but it is a pretty good look at our show "BECK DID IT BETTER." We are looking at each of the top 500 albums as determined by Rolling Stone magazine.

All you need to know

The Beatles: Rubber Soul and Shoplifting from Spencer Gifts

Hoo boy! We talk about the Beatles' Americana influenced studio album and we revel in the beauty of In My Life and talk about the small joys of Ringo singing country. We also talk about how much we love Norweigen Wood and how many smart people think it is a top 5 Beatles song. 

We also discuss dressing up as John Lennon in high school, how and since we are now older, we ponder our mortality by discussing how much CBD water to put in our go bag and what songs we want at our funerals. This is a legally binding document)

 

We pull a switcharoo and Aaron comes in hot with a list of the best breakup songs that we all know and love. Then we do what all music podcasts do and break down the members of Slobberbone and talk a lot about Wilson Phillips. A lot. 

 

Obviously we do not get off track in this episode and we stick to the topic at hand!
