Beck Did It Better

The Slits: Cut (1979) Ep. 260

Listen. We know you are not here to hear what we have to say. You are here because you are HUGE The Slits fans. We get a pleasureable voicemail where Russ has to face his greatest letdowns, Aaron tells his most pathetic story ever, and we ask if there are any good restaurants in Edina that won't make you wait! 

 

Then we talk about the Slits and the best female punk bands from Kurt Cobain's journal. 

Next week we are talking Beastie Boys: Check your Head!

Janis Joplin: Pearl (1971) Ep. 259

We talk about one of the greatest voices of our generation and of course I am talking about Russ and why he won't come to NYC for thanksiving (being forced to go to parades.)

 

We are talking about Janis Joplin- Pearl and we are blown away by the album. Great music, great voice, and just like Matt's love- language, the album is a touching tribute to a singer who died before the release.  

Aaron went to an 85 yeart olds birthday party and Rob is being disrepectful. Then we talk our favorite port arthur texas alums and explore Janis' short but bright career. 

Then I add on 10 minutes of the George Micheal's epsode at the end.

Joni Mitchell: The Hissing of Summer Lawns (1975) Ep. 258

Folks, I'm not going to lie. This is an episode that Russ woke up in his record player chair just before recording.... Why? Listen and find out! 

 

We become the Best joni mitchell podcast when we talk about her moving from pop to experimental with the album about the sprinklers and the suburbs. We have lots of fun lists this episode that everyone loves and does NOT get mad at. We get a voicemail about the problem with listening to our podcast, why my. mouth is so weak, and  Aaron's bad day coaching. 

Then Russ takes us on a tour of his day which will shock you and your liver. Then lets all adjust our tone, grab our ice cream and talk Joni Mitchell, famous flautists, and shortlived grammy categories. 

 

Next week we hit the JJs with Janis Joplin and Pearl.

Dolly Parton: Coat Of Many Colors (1971) Ep. 257

We are talking about Coats of Many Colors and we become a great Dolly Parton podcast when we talk about her 1971 breakout hit. We learn more about Aaron, talk about driving across parking lots, and getting turnt up for Halloween. 

Then we have a serious conversation about reflecting on the tone we use when someone makes us dinner and we harass them. 

 

Then we hit the best songs inspired by the good book and what would happen if Rob hung with Armwreslters at Truck stops. 

 

 

Tracy Chapman: Tracy Chapman (1988) Ep. 255

I am releasing two episodes and this one has the reactions to the world series game going on as we recorded. Listen to the other version if you do NOT want baseball. 

 

This week we become the best Tracy Chapman podcast as we talk about Fast Car, the best pop vocals of all time, our driving, and everyone's favorite: Deviled Eggs. 

 

Then we chat Chapmans amazing start, metoric rise, and how this album was both influcenced by the sound of the time and influenced a lot of the 90's folk pop scene. 

Call 802 277 BECK to interact with us! That sounds weird as hell. 

 

Next week: Dolly Parton: Coat of Many Colors
