Episode description
Hold on to your hats, fam… we got another banger for ya! Marty kicks things off by doing his best classical radio station DJ impersonation (0:44) Breaking down the setlist from the Breeders ACL night show at Scoot Inn (5:50) naming inspiration for Kris’s first band (7:57) The last time Marty saw GWAR live (14:03) Kris’s weird side project band, The Martian Armpit Orchestra, and their big last.fm hit “Mars is Made of Chocolate Fudge” (18:25), Marty reading the Bob Pollard/Guided by Voices biography “Closer your are” (20:35) and Kris getting a new Gretsch guitar for his 40th birthday (24:30). After some laughs and waaay too much Spin Doctors, Kris and I delve into the meat of episode 4-1985! We start with breaking down our feelings on the 80’s as a decade (35:35), what the charts looked like (46:36), and the introduction of yet another episode themed beverage (1:05:02). Next up on the menu for this delightfully 80’s year, we have two classic albums to break down! We start off with Marty’s pick, the treble-induced, proto-shoegaze masterpiece by Scotland’s Jesus and Mary Chain, Psychocandy. Next up is Kris’s pick for 1985- Tom Waits’ timeless romp through dark alleys, dingy basements, and deserted port towns-Rain Dogs.
