On The Wreck Chord

We are back for season 3, and first up is Hi-Standard's "Angry Fist".  We talk about our records as fighters on the break.

Happy International Asteroid Day!  We have fanmail for once.  Ben commits Harry Caray in shame.

Happy Flag Day!!!  We beta test a new Table Top RPG called Basements and Boneheads.  Think D&D mixed with something like Mother or Undertale.  There's a detour to talk about John Cena's view on “mistakes”.  We talk about our favorite records from 2022 and share it with you halfway through 2023.

Albums Discussed:  Me First & The Gimme Gimme's - Have A Ball;  Movies Watched:  SLC Punk;  https://fatwreck.com/products/have-a-ball;  Season Finale!  We're joined by our friend Justin to talk about Me First and the Gimme Gimmes “Have a Ball”!  It's great he's here because Alex and Ben don't really like this record.  When will we see a Punk Goes Drill comp?  We speculate on Joey Cape's whistling prowess.  We make light of John Denver's death.  We discuss the Mama Mia Cinematic Universe as well as the Tucciverse.  Speaking of cinema we watched SLC Punk and discuss its merits.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6VrKro8djw  

Albums Discussed:  Screw 32 - Under the Influence of Bad People;  AFI - Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes;  The Nerve Agents - The Nerve Agents;  https://fatwreck.com/products/under-the-influence-of-bad-people;  Ponderosa Pondo-Combo We Want Value!  A value packed episode where we talk about three records we all love.  We play a new game called “Who's on Fat?”.  We also play a game called “Famous Bad People”.  http://geocities.com/stubblemusiczine/screw32.html;  https://revhq.com/blogs/speak-up/eric-ozenne-unit-pride-redemption-87-the-nerve-agents;  https://infiniteconversation.com/;  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/christmas-cheetah-playing-bass-stone-coaster--515099276139413624/;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmjz9uFFW6k  

Albums Discussed:  Bracket - E Is For Everything; The Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good; Superchunk - Here's Where The Strings Come In;  https://fatwreck.com/products/e-is-for-everything-on-fat; A real change of pace.  We get sidetracked admiring the Caroline Records roster.  We're all just guests in someone else's talk show.   B is for Bondage Volume 1.  We chuckle way too much.  We research Frankie Muniz beefs. Listen to Dumptruck - “For The Country”.  

Albums Discussed:  Screeching Weasel - Bark Like a Dog;  Descendents - Everything Sucks;  The Queers - Don't Back Down;  https://fatwreck.com/products/bark-like-a-dog;  Ben Weasel, he's an asshole.  Ben Weasel, he's a jerk.  That's it.

Albums Discussed:  Swinging Utters - A Juvenile Product of the Working Class;  Social Distortion - White Light, White Heat, White Trash;  US Bombs - Garibaldi Guard!;  https://fatwreck.com/products/a-juvenile-product-of-the-working-class;  Were the Utters originally supposed to be a New Jack Swing band?  Ben screws up a Dirty Work joke.  More Dropkick Murphys hate.  “Spicy McHaggis can eat a meat pie!”  We also didn't do our homework so Alex has a new edition of Maximum Obscurity.  Most of this record is about alcohol.  

Albums Discussed:  Snuff - Snuff Said;  Snuff - Flibbiddydibbiddydob; Dillinger Four - This Shit Is Genius;  https://fatwreck.com/products/snuff-said;  https://fatwreck.com/collections/snuff/products/flibbidydibbidydob;  First episode this season that is under an hour.  Snuff-o-palooza!  What's your favorite jingle?  Online these records are only on Youtube so we pretty openly admit to never buying them.  Get off our backs we dropped plenty of money on Fat Wreck releases when we were young.  https://www.discogs.com/label/33238-Workers-Playtime

Albums Discussed:  Goober Patrol - Vacation;  Suicide Machines - Destruction by Definition;  Less Than Jake - Losing Streak;  https://fatwreck.com/products/vacation; No mercy: this is a dumb band name.  But this album is shockingly good.  https://rateyourmusic.com/label/thems_good_records/

Albums discussed:  Strung Out - Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues;  Deadguy - Fixation on a Coworker;  Pulley - Esteem Driven Engine;  https://fatwreck.com/products/suburban-teenage-wasteland-blues-reissue;  Another all time classic Fat Wreck Chords release.  Would you rather hear Bob Dylan cover Spazz, or Spazz cover Bob Dylan?  We're not happy about the remixed and remastered version of the album.  Would this album be better if they were a ska band?  

Records discussed:  Propagandhi - Less Talk More Rock;  Anti-Flag - Die For Your Government;  Inquisition - Revolution I Think It's Called Inspiration;  https://fatwreck.com/products/less-talk-more-rock;  Ben's audio sounds kinda shitty on this one.  Sorry.  We get real intellectual and talk about the Manufacturing of Consent.  We love this record.

Albums discussed:  Hi-Standard - Growing Up;  Husking Bee - Grip;  Millencolin - For Monkeys;  No Fat page for this album exists.  Sort of seems to be out of print.  A positive and fun record.  Lots of fighting spirit!  Love is like ice cream.  Musical Geography Bee.  Also a surprising amount of Pinocchio talk.
