    In this episode, we discuss the mythology of misery around Bright Eyes and Conor Oberst, as he surprises us with his showing up as "okay" to the Palace Theatre in St. Paul on April 4, 2025. Okay is by no means a low bar, considering the show was top form Bright Eyes. Truly. It was an incredible show that shook our expectations, and we're thrilled to share what we learned.Setlist:Bells and WhistlesEl CapitanGold Mine GuttedWe Are Nowhere and It's NowLoose LeavesPersona Non GrataMariana TrenchI Won't Ever Be Happy AgainMethod ActingTrains Still Run On TimeFirst Day of My LifeOld Soul Song (for the New World Order)Clairaudients (Kill or Be Killed)Happy AccidentTiny SuicidesRainbow OverpassShell GamesTin Soldier BoyOne For You, One for MeEncoreAt The Bottom of EverythingDevil TownLet's Not Shit Ourselves (to Love and to Be Loved)

    Rockumentary - Metallica: Some Kind of Monster

    This week we discuss Metallica's rockumentary, Some Kind of Monster. Filmed during the production of 2003's St. Anger, the documentary explores the bands trials through recording a fraught process. Alcholism, ego, therapy, opportunists, death, reconciliation, new people in, old people out, and more.While we aren't the biggest Metallica fans or metalheads, this is an interesting view into the creative process -- the human element of band dynamics. We give our take as we relate to the marriage that is a band.
