Hey listeners! Be sure to check out the playlist we made with every tune we talked about! link below! - Agree or Disagree (Killing Joke "Seeing Red") Killing Joke are an English rock band from Notting Hill, London, England, formed in 1979 by Jaz Coleman (vocals, keyboards), Paul Ferguson (drums), Geordie Walker (guitar) and Youth (bass). Their first album, Killing Joke, was released in 1980. After the release of Revelations in 1982, bassist Youth was replaced by Paul Raven. The band achieved mainstream success in 1985 with both the album Night Time and the single "Love Like Blood". The band's musical style emerged from the post-punk scene, but stood out due to their heavier approach, and has been cited as a key influence on industrial rock.[1] Their style evolved over many years, at times incorporating elements of gothic rock,[2] synthpop and electronic music, often baring Walker's prominent guitar and Coleman's "savagely strident vocals".[1] Killing Joke have influenced many later bands and artists, such as Metallica, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden. Although Coleman and Walker have been the only constant members of the band, the current line-up features all four original members. - Random Questions (Is there a particular Sound effect in songs that bother you?) (What's a band you like that has no original members?) - Kazoo Tunes with special guest Tony!! Winner takes the next top 3 in this epic kazoo-off of seismic proportions. - Our top 3 Songs under a minute. Some of these tunes we selected unfortunately didn't make the playlist due to unavailability. but there is plenty to listen to, so enjoy!! - Link to Spotify playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3EVvuno1cBuxmR6zxmhcbg?si=dc4eb4dc4088404a
Join Jesse and special guest Holly Boson (@fireh9lly) for our Halloween mega-special, where we examine the scariest thing anyone could imagine in the year 2000: a 28-year-old white guy with a bad case of sassmouth! Is Eminem, despite still being one of the most popular musicians in the world, still essentially a Dustbin artist? Should The Marshall Mathers LP actually have been an LP? If you want to hear a rich white guy with a massive platform complaining about being cancelled, is this still technically the best possible way you can do that? Is Eminem, in his heart of hearts, a "fun dad Resistance lib"? Join us as we come to no particularly conclusive answers to any of this over a long, long period of time. Content Warning: This is the clean version of the podcast — if Eminem has taught me anything, it's that that's the one you give away for free — so all cuss words have been replaced by audio elements from the Hanna-Barbara sound library, a bit I bitterly regretted committing to approximately two hours into the editing process. (Anyone who wants the uncensored version is welcome to venmo me $16.99 for a burned CD. Great for parties!) However, this is still The Marshall Mathers LP, so there will of course be discussions of violence, sexual assault, emotional abuse, clown rap, homophobia, and miscellaneous other unpleasantries. Critical/Commercial Stats: Then: • 2000 Album of the Year in LA Times, Rolling Stone, Face, Melody Maker, and Muzik • #3 in Spin, # 4 in the Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll, #5 in Uncut, #7 in NME, #8 in Select, #13 in Mojo • Grammy Nomination for Album of the Year, loses to Steely Dan's Two Against Nature. Wins Grammy for Best Rap Album, and Best Rap Solo Performance for "The Real Slim Shady" • #1 for eight weeks, ultimately sells 21 million copies worldwide Now: • Acclaimed Music has TMMLP at #3 for 2000 (Top 5: Kid A, Stankonia, TMMLP, Stories From The City, Since I Left You), #15 for the decade, and #192 all-time. • It also has "Stan" as the #5 song of 2000, “The Real Slim Shady” at #12, “The Way I Am” at #34, and non-single “Kim” at #57. • Eminem himself is the 104th ranked artist: rappers ahead of him are Outkast (#64), Public Enemy (#42), Jay-Z (#36), Kendrick Lamar (#32), and Kanye West (#13). • The biggest selling album act of the 00s, with sales of over 32 million. Has a current streak of nine consecutive albums debuting at #1.

Welcome to the first episode of The Dustbin, a bonus show in the Steady Diet of Music universe in which we examine albums that received notable critical acclaim in their time, but have since fallen out of favor. Do they deserve to be rediscovered by modern listeners, or should they remain in the dustbin of musical history? In this first episode, we discuss Graham Parker & The Rumour's "Squeezing Out Sparks", a 1979 album with the dubious honor of having—by a considerable margin—fewer Spotify plays than any other winner of the Village Voice's "Pazz & Jop" poll. Does its combination of tightly-wound rock arrangements and surly, adenoidal vocals still worth listening to today? Join your hosts Brandon and Jesse as we discuss. Content warning: A discussion of "You Can't Be Too Strong", a strikingly unsympathetic song about abortion, from 25:40 to 34:05. Also, I (Jesse) am annoyed with myself for referring to the anti-choice faction as "pro-life" at one point. Old framings die hard.
