Beck Did It Better

252. Devo: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (1978)

We know you like it extra SLOPPY. 

 

The first 25 min are the worst show we have ever done. Then Aaron saves the day. 

We mostly come up with things to tell Aaron later like Maxim magazine, our fantasy teams, and the Charlie Sheen documentary. Aaron talks carpooling, sloppy joes, and we find out how much beef jerky is in our houses... Rob talks about dispensing justice, the career of Mark Mothersbaugh, and how Devo combined punk and new wave. 

 

Matt highly recommends the Devo documentary and I recommend leaving a voicemail at 218 341 BECK. 

Next week. We talk Pink Floyd and Piper at the Gates of Dawn. 

251. Elton John: Honky Château (1972) with special guest Magic Mike!

Mittens! Mr. Whiskers!  No!

Superfan and smart music guy Magic Mike joins us to talk practicing piano, Elton John, and what exacty is going on with all that milk in Russell's fridge. 

We talk golden girl mythology and the Pearl Jam/ Magot Brain mashup we have been waiting for.  Russell is on fire at his conference and Aaron is back on his shit. 

Finally we talk about weekend at Bernie Taupin's and we talk about Bernie's non Elton songs. 

Call or text the beck line 218 341 5715 

 

Next week.... We are talking DEVO and Q: Are we not men? We are DEVO!

 

 

250. SECRET LIVE SHOW------ Buzzcocks: Singles Going Steady (1979)

Thanks to everyone who came out to talk about Russell getting spanked, the funniest raps, and how many people could we really marry? 

Raise a glass of squash juice, as we listen to the beginning of pop punk, and talk about the shortest songs ever. 

Next week, we'll talk Elton John and Honky Chateau.

Beck Does it Again! John Prine: John Prine (1971) with special Guest Jon from Edina

We're busy and we're sorry but our buddy Jon just started a new job so we want to celebrate by reposting one of our favorite episodes, favorite albums, and favorite guest (Suzanne doesn't read these) 

 

Congrats to Jon on the new job, here is to hoping you can buy bigger buckets for the garage, and some more shoes for your two lengthed legs. 

 

We may or may not be back next week. We haven't quit yet, I promise. 

249. Whitney Houston: Whitney Houston (1985)

WELCOME TO THE POSITIVE SHOW!

 

The greatest love of all is loving your shelf.... that holds the best selling album of 1986, its this one... Whitney Houston by Whitney Houston! We become the best podcast about THE VOICE with the only Whitney Houston album on this dumb list! 

but before we talk about Whitney, her voice, and her legacy, we talk selling cars, seeing rap shows, and making commitments and the best selling albums of 1986. 

The album is a banger and ends with one of the worst songs ever, once again proving Russell's theory. 

next week we hit 250 with the Buzzkills and Singles Going Steady.
