When the clock strikes nostalgia, there's no better place to be than in the throes of 1969's music and movies—a year where revolution wasn't just in the air, it was on our turntables and silver screens. Embarking on this retro ride with Scott are the Wrecking Two—Mark Smith and Lou Callicho. Together, we unspool tales from the Beatles' last hurrah on a rooftop to Led Zeppelin's ground-shaking debut, all while interweaving stories of our own personal connections to this unforgettable year.Buckle up as we careen through the twists and turns of 1969's cultural milestones, from Hendrix's wah-wah wonders to the managerial mayhem that rocked the Beatles' world. We navigate past the milestones and mishaps, offering a window into the soul-stirring, genre-bending tracks that shaped our collective soundtrack. As we reminisce about "Midnight Cowboy" and chuckle over "The Love Bug," you'll find the cinematic landscape of '69 as vivid and varied as the music that accompanied it—a testament to the timeless power these classics hold.And what's a time travel journey without the treasure trove of albums that continue to captivate us today? We revel in the roots of Americana with The Band's "Brown Album," groove to the primal beats of The Stooges, and savor the soulful strains of Dusty Springfield, all while exploring the stories behind these seminal sounds. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Creedence Clearwater Revival or still swooning over Sinatra's "My Way," we've got the tracks that'll transport you back to that revolutionary year. So slip on those headphones, join our raucous crew, and surrender to the spirit of '69—it's a trip you won't want to miss.

This week we're discussing every album by Primus. This band needs no introduction as core members Les Claypool, Larry LaLonde, and Tim Alexander have been gracing us with their insanity since the late 80s. Heavy, funky, kooky, technical, and above all else, memorable. Plus they did several South Park themes. If you've been putting this band off, that ends today.Closing track: “I Want It Now” from Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble (2014)Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike's EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @everyalbumalexTom @tomosmansoundsHistory Tom's stuff:Music on Spotify, AppleSubstackWebsiteMike's Picks:Sailing the Seas of Cheese (1991) — Best AlbumPork Soda (1993) — Personal FavoriteAntipop (1999) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlex's Picks:Sailing the Seas of Cheese (1991) — Best AlbumPork Soda (1993) — Personal FavoriteBrown Album (1997) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…Suck on This (1989)Frizzle Fry (1990)Sailing the Seas of Cheese (1991)Pork Soda (1993)Tales from the Punchbowl (1995)Brown Album (1997)Antipop (1999)Green Naugahyde (2011)Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble (2014)The Desaturating Seven (2017)

THE BAND – The eponymous second album with special guest JOHN NIVEN. This interview took place before and after we listened to the vinyl album. The Band's debut, ‘Music From Big Pink' and their eponymous second LP are two of the most influential albums ever made. John Niven's novella, Music From Big Pink caused the Band's Robbie Robertson to ask, “Was that guy in the room?” John is one of the UK's greatest writers and has published over ten acclaimed books. His latest offering is the truly wonderful O Brother. It's a brutally honest family memoir about his young brother Gary, that is both hilarious and devastatingly tragic. CAT Club stalwart, Ian Clayton was in the interviewer's chair. THE BAND – edited review by Jason Draper (www.udiscovermusic.com) The self-titled second album by The Band honed everything from ‘Music From Big Pink' with deft performances and an innate knack for storytelling. If The Band single-handedly created Americana with their debut album, on their self-titled sophomore effort (aka “The Brown Album”), they honed everything that made ‘Music From Big Pink' so quietly epochal. Initially, the group relocated from their iconic Woodstock home to a New York studio in order to work up the 12 songs that formed their self-titled second album, but the pro facilities didn't suit the group's laidback, down-home approach. Packing up and heading west, they recreated the Big Pink vibe with what lead guitarist Robbie Robertson called “a clubhouse feel” at 8850 Evanview Drive in West Hollywood, a house that had previously been owned by Sammy Davis Jr. The place had enough bedrooms that the group could reside there with their families and a pool house where they set up the studio. The Band's second album came after a difficult period. Bassist Rick Danko had broken his neck in a serious car crash and had taken time to recover. The move from East Coast to West Coast proved an invigorating change. Crossing the vast expanse of North America was apt: The Band was almost simply titled America, and its songs are populated with characters from the continent's past; like the lucky hopefuls who set off west in search of the American Dream in the mid-1800s, The Band struck gold. Truckers, sailors, Civil War soldiers: it's the sort of roll call that would feel contrived in lesser hands, but Robertson and co's deft performances and innate knack for storytelling allowed these disparate characters – like the wide array of instruments the group rotated through – to coalesce, working up a collection of songs that, as Ralph J. Gleason put it in his Rolling Stone review, are “equal sides of a 12-faceted gem, the whole of which is geometrically greater than the sum of the parts.” This event took place on 30th November 2023 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

Soon he began writing his own rhymes, but quickly found that his true talents lay in production. In 2001 famed beat-maker Pete Rock played a track Brown did with rapper Grap Luva, "What Ruling Means," for Marley Marl, who was so impressed with what he heard that he included the song on his album Re-Entry, which came out that same year. That led to work with De La Soul and DJ Jazzy Jeff, but it wasn't until 2004, when The Brown Album, his remixed version of Jay-Z's The Black Album (which came before Danger Mouse's The Grey Album), hit the streets that Brown started to receive real attention. After a succession of collaborations and singles, Kev released his solo debut, I Do What I Do, in 2005. The album, which was released on Up Above Records, had the producer rapping at least one verse on each of the 13 songs, as well as featuring guest MCs from his crew, the D.C.-area-based Low Budget, and Phonte Coleman from Little Brother.

On this week's episode, we discuss the Band and their second LP, The Band (also affectionately known as the Brown Album).  With 50 plus years having passed, its difficult to understand the impact the Band had on the music industry, but it was HUGE. It is also hard to find a band that incorporated more American music traditions into their sound than the Band did, which is odd when you consider all but one of the members was Canadian. After years of honing their skills in individual groups, they found each other while playing together as unit backing rockabilly great Ronnie Hawkins and later backing the newly electrified Bob Dylan. On this, their second album, the Band continues the exploration of musical genres and lyrical themes they started with the debut album: Music From Big Pink.  Like its predecessor, The Band is a collection of outstanding songs played expertly by some of the best musicians in all of rock. Yet The Band  feels like a more cohesive statement and may arguably be their masterpiece. And it is fitting that we explore this album in the wake of the recent passing of main songwriter and guitarist, Robbie Robertson.

It's finally here... Today, we turn to the Gospel According to Andrew Lloyd Webber: the phenomenon that is Jesus Christ Superstar (1970)!   We talk about: – The context of the late 60s/early 70s that gave rise to a rock opera treatment of the Jesus story – The eroticism in Mary Magdalene's (and maybe Judas'?) relationship with Jesus and the question of how sexuality & love intersect in the Christian tradition. What does it mean to fall in love with a God with a human body? – Mary Magdalene (not a prostitute in the Bible!) and the way the musical treats her as a woman, a sex worker, and a romantic lead. – Anti-Judaism and Anti-Semitism in Jesus Christ Superstar and in the New Testament and what responsibility Christians bear in challenging it. – What kind of Christology (big fancy theological word for “understanding Jesus”) undergirds Jesus Christ Superstar, and whether there's any good news in this musical.   You'll hear: – Ian Gillan, Murray Head, Yvonne Elliman and the cast of the Original Studio Recording (a.k.a. “The Brown Album”) from 1970. – "Could Ye Not Watch With Me One Hour?" from John Stainer's Crucifixion sung by the St. Michael Singers (Fox Records, 2009). – Joshua Mostel singing "Herod's Song" from the 1973 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.   Continue the conversation with Peter (@pgeinvan) and Nathan (@nathan_lerud) on Twitter, and follow the Gospel of Musical Theatre on Instagram or Twitter @gospelofmt!

A very brown cover for a brown sounding album. Talking Primus and their LP, Brown Album on this week's podcast with special guest Roxy who had the very difficult job of introducing me to the magical world of Les Claypool and band because I have never really listened to them before. I'm not a slap bass guy and I knew that Les is a creative force of nature so stepping into all the lore and cheese references felt overwhelming. Which album to start with? What do I need to know before listening? A special thanks to Roxy for joining the podcast and sharing tales of what it is like to DJ Primus at a nightclub in Darwin and an even bigger shoutout to the Motorola G30 Power.

Dramatic but welcoming...

Don't deny the power of three. Whether it's certain “anti-relaxers”, a brilliantly executed joke, or the divinely strange shades of psychedelic metal weirdness created by the “power threesome” known as PRIMUS, three packs quite the powerful punch. PRIMUS have always stayed in the realm of the weird and unorthodox, forging their own unique path by blending surrealistic bass driven prog metal with absurdly weird lyrical vistas and some of the strangest riffs known this side of the multiverse to create a brilliant, yet oddly eccentric, brand of metal that is uniquely theirs and theirs alone. Time to follow the bouncing ball and decide if your preference is “one handed or two handed” as you enjoy some of the “best wings in town” while figuring out how Sammy Davis Jr. factors into all this outlandish madness as you JOIN US for a 3-piece order of deliciously weird, sonic peculiarity as Metal Nerdery Podcast goes deep INSIDE THE METAL with PRIMUS.

As we've moved through this project we've spent some decent time reflecting on The Band, a mostly-Canadian Americana/Roots Rock band that moved from backing band to standing on their own as one of the most iconic groups of their era. In the process, we discovered fellow podcaster, Tyrell Lisson, and his amazing podcast The Band: A History. He was kind enough to join us for a reflection on his project, as well as sharing some thoughts about the shift for this particular album moving from #45 in previous iterations of this list down to #57 on Rolling Stone's 2020 list of the greatest albums of all time. Join us as we reflect on The Band, and dive a little deeper into how they fit into the conversation about the greatest albums of all time! Our original review was released in two parts, but we've got them both for you here in one giant episode. We hope you enjoy! As a reminder, you can find our favorite songs from the RS500 on our Spotify playlist right here - we'll be updating it as we go with our favorite songs from each album! You can check out Rolling Stone's new 2020 list right here.

Sintonía: "I Think It´s Disgusting" - Orbital Los incombustibles hermanos Hartnoll, pioneros de la música electrónica desde finales de la década de los 80, por fin en Sateli 3 !!! Seleccionaremos lo mejor de sus álbumes de estudio; desde el primero de 1991, titulado "The Green Album" por el llamativo color de su portada, hasta "Monsters Exist", último disco doble del dúo publicado en el 2018 "The Moebius", "Oolaa", "Chime" (Live), "Midnight" (Live) y "Belfast", extraídas del primer LP de Orbital, titulado "The Green Album" (FFRR, 1991) "Planet of The Shapes" y "Remind", extraídas del 2º LP, "The Brown Album" (también por el color de su portada) (Internal, Internal, 1993) Escuchar audio

After the Brown Album cycle wrapped, Primus was asked to work with a producer on their next effort, which was a covers EP to bridge albums. The band descended upon Prairie Sun studios, and with the help of the legendary Toby Wright, created the band's second EP. Toby Wright kindly joined us to mine the depths of memory for the experience of making Rhinoplasty; another heavy brough to you by the one and only Tim Soya. Find Toby's show, My Wright Stuff, on Youtube!

Soya rejoins the fray (from the road with Primus!!) to help us close the Brown Album with Arnie - throwaway closer or deep philosophical mind-bender? Mostly the former, but Frankie and Josh do their damnedest to turn hearts to the latter. Final thoughts on the record as a whole, Youtube provides a cover, our last 1897 connections, and a cryptic preview of what's to come between albums. Arnie!

The penultimate Brown Album track mystifies and delights with its tantalizing guitar, bouncy bass, grooving drums. Easily greater than the sum of the parts, Renegade stands as a favorite for many from this record. Matt Hunter helps us understand the foundation of the tune and what makes it special. Plus, Frankie uses the word "thicc" again and makes us listen to his favorite part of the song 78 times.

Soya brings another heavy into the fold; this time, former Primus/Les manager David Lefkowitz drops in to talk Kalamazoo, a stylistic departure of sorts, until we find the pieces that constitute source material. Prima, Goodman, Miller....it all coalesces and becomes a Primus treat. We have an extended chat with David to drop after we finish the Brown Album, so be ready for that! @primustracks

Restin' Bones was roundly cited as one of the weakest Brown Album tracks upon release, and we reassess this claim. What do Josh, Frankie and Soya think of it 24 years later? Dig in your shoes and you just might find out!

Hello, what's this? We're back to the Brown Album norm of "A-B and out," or are we? Featuring a blast of drums from Brain, some mathematical manipulation by Ler, and an elastic bass lick from Les, Duchess has more to it than meets the eye, and it certainly opens doors to jamming live, which makes it a latter-day staple. Lespecial's Rory Dolan explains and models the drum parts (including the solo!!!!) and provides clarity on Duchess, just like LSD?

Chick-Lit is nominated for Best Comedy Podcast! Voting is open until the end of July 2021! (podcastawards.com)*************It's another Friday, so the Chicks have got another episode for you! Tackling Chapter 11 of the book "Twilight", Karyn and Aubs try desperately to deal with the lack of content and repetition of the author, Stephenie Meyer - all the while chatting about hanging out in person for the first time in months, and a couple of "Corrections Corner" updates! There's an endless array of diarrhea jokes, talks of the serial killer The Doodler, and the mysterious DooDoo Bandit from Aubs' old high school - grab a drink and come laugh with the Chicks (they do plenty of laughing in this one, y'all)!

While Soya changes out Brown Album records, Larry "Ler" LaLonde takes the Primus Tracks crew into Ler Land for a career-spanning trip through influences, guitars, touring, music, and, most importantly, Ler's hair. Enjoy our talk with Larry Legend!

Louis Ortega and his fretted six drop in to discuss this crusher of a track, aptly named Puddin' Taine, the greatest hype man this side of PT Barnum. Is that what Les Claypool was going for in the lyrics? We break it all down, Josh finds a cover version, and Frankie asks the deep questions about the darker side of the track. Plus, Soya drops some nuggets from the Brown Album tour. @primustracks on Instagram and Twitterprimustrackspod@gmail.com

The lead single from Brown Album deserves the heavy treatment, and Soya brings us face-to-virtual-face with the mysterious legend, Turk Black. Josh gets into why it's such a big deal to meet Turk, and Turk & Soya's special connection to the track. Frankie and Landon get behind the bass groove, and we all figure out just what it means to "shake hands with beef," which is /not/ what you're thinking. @primustracks on IG and Twitterprimustrackspod@gmail.com

The second single from Brown Album sees Primus riding in the "traditional music" lane, albeit with their own spin on proceedings. Again, we're stuck in the 19th century with the subject matter. and everything we find reinforces the idea. Hop in the barrel and enjoy!Email: Primustrackspod@gmail.com@primustracks on Instagram & Twitter

A fan favorite from Brown Album, Josh wants to know why this wasn't the lead single. Frankie uses the word "idiosyncratic," and lespecial's Luke Bemand tells us why, musically, this track shouldn't make any sense. @primustracks on IG and Twitter.

Fellow colleagues, distinguished podcast listeners, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for joining us to explore the introductory track of the Brown Album. Our pal Leif drops in to discuss the music and the overall impact of this track as an opener, while Soya mines his memory for some intimate details. Also, Leif makes a musical connection to Ler's guitar line on this track - what a revelation! Josh and Frankie take on the lampooning of political propaganda that drenches the lyrics. Finally, Josh vows to make a connection to 1897 (when this album was actually recorded) with every track. Truly, all that glitters is brown!

Bryan "Brain" Mantia joined Primus during a period of uncertainty for the band, and helped drive them in a whole new direction - huge (literally) drums, overdriven grooves, and blown-out sounds. Brain gets us into Rancho Relaxo for the making of Brown Album and drops some behind-the-scenes knowledge about some of his first live shows with the band. Soya brings another heavy to you on Primus Tracks!Find out what Brain's been up to lately @brainandmelissa on Instagram!

On this installment of SRR we review the reviews of Primus' 1997 Brown Album. We discuss the blown-out drum sounds of their new drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia. We examine the muddy quirkiness and innuendo of their lead single "Shake Hands With Beef" and check in with our "favorite" music critics and publications

Michael Beller is a podcast producer, host and writer for The Athletic, and along with Derek VanRiper and me, he is the co-host of The Athletic's Fantasy Baseball in 15 podcast. Off air, Michael has talked to me a lot about The Band, so it was high time for us to have a longer conversation about one of his favorite musical acts. This episode focuses on the Band's self-titled second album, also known as The Brown Album.The first few minutes of this episode features birds. It's not a tribute to the great album by Quasi; it's just that there were a lot of really loud birds outside my window when I was recording. In this episode, I made a reference to a cover of The Band's The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down by Early James and The Marcus King Band, in which James changed the lyrics in order to clearly reflect a rejection of the Confederacy. I put a brief clip from a performance of this version in the episode.

While The Band had critical success on their first studio effort 1968's "Music From Big Pink" they didn't waste anytime before getting back into the studio to make their follow up. The Band was now respected in their own right apart from Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan. They had the support of a growing fanbase, critics and most importantly musicians like George Harrison and Eric Clapton. However, while The Band were enjoying the frills of a now more luxurious lifestyle that didn't impede on their music making. Their self-titled second album, later referred to as "The Brown Album" pushed them even further in the music cultural zeitgeist. The approach similar to what they had done with their first album. This time holing themselves up into a homemade studio in the Hollywood Hills as opposed to the mountain wilderness of the Catskills in upstate New York. The Brown album went on to produce some of The Band's most well known songs like "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", "Rag Mamma Rag", "Whispering Pines" and "King Harvest (Has Surely Come" and further cemented their influence in the creation of the Americana genre of back to basics. Their sophomore album was also their own unique commentary on America from the perspective of the now increasingly forgotten peoples: the farmers, the truck drivers and even the drunkards! Moreover, The Band began to play live again for the first time in years, taking part in some of the most important festivals in music history like: the Toronto Pop Festival, Woodstock and Isle of Wight all in 1969. While also playing historic stints at Bill Graham's Winterland in San Fransisco and Fillmore East in New York. The Band was nearing the peak, their reach was growing, their influence looming large and they were able to make the music they had yearned to create for over a decade.
