The Wax Poetic Podcast

Will Cleveland comes by to reminisce about Peter Gabriel's classic '80s album So. We get into the proper format for poetry, cool grandmas, MTV, and dreams. As always, we play a game of Lyric or Just My Diary. Also, if you really want to hear the description of my bedroom then you will have to listen to the very end after the outro music.

Improviser and all-around awesome person Lauren makes her case for why this is such a good album, and I totally agree with her.

We break out the liquor (please excuse any audio issues) and I crack open Paul Carrubba's (KUTX FM) fact-filled skull to get at all his knowledge about The Clash as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of their 3x album Sandinista! with an extra-long episode. We cover the album, history, their influence, there's some trivia, and so much more. It's a good listen. Follow Paul on Instagram - @austincalling84 Also, listen to his show on KUTX 98.9FM in Austin, TX every Sunday from 10:00AM(CST) - 2:00PM(CST). He plays an eclectic mix of stuff. Some old, some new, but always good music.

We talk to one of my favorite people, Lindsay. Also joining is guest host Becca. We get off-topic almost immediately and often. Do we talk about the entire album? Not even close, but we do manage to circle back to it often enough. The conversation was just too much fun so it's all in there. I will also suggest listening to the very end because that's where I'll be dropping fun stuff that doesn't quite fit into the episode. Some notes: I think at the beginning we were all thinking about Google Play Music that just got shut down this past week. Ponch is a dog. And I was wrong. The woman talking on the album is not Frank Ocean's aunt, but is actually just a friend of his mom. The story about the frogs also might be a popularly believed myth: https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4223 Here's the Pentatonix Wizard of Oz video Becca was talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkVeKb2igrg Follow Becca on Instagram - @rebeccadunagan Follow the Wax Poetic Podcast on the social media places: Facebook - waxpoeticpodcast Instagram - @waxpoeticpodcast Twitter - @waxpoeticpod

My guest today is Lena (Terminator: The Musical, PWR Wrestling). We talk about one of both of our favorite albums AJJ's Knife Man and discuss everything from sad stuff to chasing and then abandoning our dreams to homelessness and back to sad stuff.

My guest is Mike from the Banter Banter Podcast. We get to talking about Jump, Little Children's The Licorice Tea Demos and everything from iPods to Napster to the goodness of clowns. Jump, Little Children released The Licorice Tea Demos in 1995 and has released four full-length albums since. Here's the old Metallica/Napster flash animation we mention (keep in mind that it hasn't aged well): http://ow.ly/Tyeg50Cf3fw You can read up more about the Metallica/Napster controversy here: http://ow.ly/1CkC50Cf3fx Listen to Mike on the Banter Banter podcast here: http://ow.ly/GR3450Cf3fy Follow the Wax Poetic Podcast on the social media places: Facebook - waxpoeticpodcast Instagram - @waxpoeticpodcast Twitter - @waxpoeticpod

I journey through the darkness with Henry Mouat as we talk about Nine Inch Nails' album The Fragile. We touch on struggling to be happy, fitting in, and being creative to cope with COVID-19. Henry is also the first in a line of people that break out their iPod for me. The Fragile - Released September 21, 1999 "I wanted this album to sound like there was something inherently flawed in the situation, like someone struggling to put the pieces together. Downward Spiral was about peeling off layers and arriving at a naked, ugly end. This album starts at the end, then attempts to create order from chaos, but never reaches the goal. It's probably a bleaker album because it arrives back where it starts—[with] the same emotion”. The album begins “Somewhat Damaged” and ends “Ripe [With Decay]". —Reznor Follow the Wax Poetic Podcast on the social media things: Facebook - waxpoeticpodcast Instagram - @waxpoeticpodcast Twitter - @waxpoeticpod

Mollie gets a little introspective. We talk about visiting psychics, bosses, and a little about religion. Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet Album released 1993. The album cover features Titian's painting Bacchus and Ariadne with the band members' faces over the character's faces.

Olivia takes a walk down memory lane as we talk about Lorde's Pure Heroine album and high school cliques. Lorde - Pure Heroin Released in 2013.
