Keepin' it 5150

Shut up about brackets you demanded and we listened. Turns out there were some great records released in 2020, many of them only came to our attention when buried in other people's lists of albums of the year.

The pull back and reveal of the best ever metal song. But first the battle for who cares? Sixteen songs from various other sub genres are picked over to determine the best of the as yet unconsidered also rans.

Last bracket, we explore 16 songs from the stoner, groove and doom genres. It's pretty much all 90s. Why would you want it any other way?

Blast beats! Detuned guitars! Growled vocals! We put the internet's best 16 death metal and grindcore songs against each other in the third of our bracket-offs. Let's get into it.

Put on your giant hi-top sneakers, tight jeans and bullet belts, we're setting the dials to thrash. Sixteen of 'the top rated thrash songs of all time' (but mainly the 1980s) face off in our second bracket. Who will be crowned kings of thrash? Metallica? Slayer? Someone else? Obviously not someone else. Let's find out!

Sixteen of the best metal songs you ever heard blasting out of a Camero face each other down in the first of our bracket play offs. We go deep and dumb on what the internet says are the best 'heavy metal' songs.

We look at the top ten albums with the worst metal guitar tones according to the viewers of the Riffs, Beards and Gear youtube channel about 2 years ago. Because we bring you the freshest news here on KI Five One Five Oh.

The year is 1999 (I mean, not now, don't panic, aahh, be good though woudn't it? It wouldn't be 2020) so we get into the soundtrack of the year's most movie: The Matrix. Mainly out of our depth with a bunch of dancy house stuff but we muscle through it with our usual charm.

Unsheathe your sword and hail the dragon wizards! Is Power Metal the funniest genre? Unclear. Unasnwerable. Let's dig in anyway.

We review Jon Fine's book Your Band Sucks: What I Saw at Indie Rock's Failed Revolution (But Can No Longer Hear). Most of this episode was recorded in the before time of 2017

Always on the cutting edge of metal - we dig into Slipknot's Iowa record. The duties of being Seattle's grindcore scene report are never worn lightly.

The second pod, coming only 4 months after the first. We know how to do cliff hangers. Anyway we're back after a long absence and we promise to never leave you again.

Loudwire (or possibly the readers of Loudwire) had the audacity to rank some bands in an order. This simply will not stand. We talked for way too long about this so we split it across pods. It's a multipodder.

We see what happens if we each give ourselves just two hours to write and record a song. Songs are included. Strap in.

We finally get around to the big burning rock issues - was the cover mounted CD on the magazine Metal CD (issue 2) any good? We also talk about video games because our remit expands beyond our expertise

Bursting straight out of the gate with a load of scattershot nonsense, we attempt to account for how we wasted our time during the on-going stay at home order by watching TV. We also cover all the events that took place in the years between the last podcast and this one.

It's a trailer you guys! 5150 is coming back.

Dodgy sound recording. This was recorded so long ago that we actually had nice weather. We talk about floods and boats, we don't let our lack of knowledge stand in the way of our opinions. Then boy bands and chip tunes. God, do we ever shut up? The we get into music Festaroos! Terrible festivals we've either been to or spent time imagining and then disapproving.

Kamen is back - this time : Robin Hood. Then we cover the top ten metal cliches (based on an article in Invisible Oranges).

We take on all the topics we've missed over the last few weeks from the alt-right to Dukes of Hazzard (same thing. boom. shots fired Dukes of Hazzard). Then we get all up on some food for our new segment Foodie One Foodie.

We defend Kim Kardashian against some dumb critizism she received months ago. Don't call us heroes. Then - we take what you hold dear and smash it against the rocks. It's like we don't even give a fuck.

Accio Podcast! Stephen trys to sell Paul on the joys of H-Pot. Also - we cover Baby Driver, The Mutoid Man show at Neumos and as ever GBBO.

Game of Throooones! Paul attempts to convice Stephen that the olden-tyme HBO hit is awesome and should be watched all the time. Also - spam mail gets the fuck mocked out of it and we talk about Top Gun rather than the Bake Off.

Rolling Stone put togther whay they think is the top 100 metal albums. Let's see if their views overlap exactly with ours. Then we talk batter.

We pull out another soundtrack record from 1993 and make jokes about it. We also speak of the horror that is Gene Simmons and discuss Bread week on the Great British Bake Off. "Seattle's Grindcore Scene Report"

We put the first seven Metallica and Megadeth albums head to head. Then talk about it. For ages. Really staying on point this time. Then we get into the Bake Off (we warned you)

We talk about life's disapointments and set up our high expectations for the next series of the Bake Off. Foreshadowing?

We deliver a counter-blast to "Metal is the Fucking Worst", then get into whether Black Metal is the funniest genre of music. Is it? Is it?

We have a couple of drinks, fail to decide what can be called a "fruit" and get into one of 1993's most blown opportunities The Last Action Hero soundtrack. Also videogames.

We say goodbye to Chris Cornell then get into the murky and sometimes rewarding world of sequels. Also jokes. So many jokes.

Two aging Simpsons fans talk about The Simpsons for a while, they describe the jokes in your favorite episodes and quote the punchlines with about 70% accuracy. Then the old men start yelling at clouds as the show slides from "amazing" to "terrible".

Shriek the lips across ragged tongue and join us as we go track by track on 1998's most hotly anticipated solo record Hillbilly Deluxe by Robert Zombie. We also praise Portland Oregon and dis Portland Maine.

We go deep into the Trainspotting experience (the heroin one, not the trainspotting one). We also drink some Megadeth beers because that's a thing you can do now.

We scratch the surface of Dungeon Synth, then go deep into Get Out. We talk a little about race, but it's not crazy awkward.

We get to the bottom of absolutely nothing in this heavily edited episode. We also decide who is the pretiest Beatle and attack Wes Anderson. It's all going off on Seattle's top grindcore podcast.

We reveal our love for The Great British Bake Off then get into the Metallica and Guns n' Roses Stadium tour of 1992. Doesn't sound like there will be loads of opportunities to make jokes about Megadeth does there? There aren't. We find them anyway.

After barely talking about Megadeth at all, we get into the most pressing issue of 1994, the soundtrack to The Crow. Was it as good as Paul remembers? Was it as bad as the film?

After a lot of tangents we eventually talk about thrash and dissect Dawn Patrol by Megadeth.

We get into Bill Paxton (RIP) then it gets all serious as we discuss some of the awful things Phil has said. We also mock Vinnie Paul and his beard.

We dig into the Grammys then go deep into isolated track rabbit holes on youtube. Then we argue about AC/DC
