This week we're discussing every album by Sonic Youth from 1982 - 1992. Made up of core members Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, and Steve Shelley, Sonic Youth are easily one of the most influential, as well as one of the most eclectic rock bands of all time. This era of the band covers all of their early years, including the vast majority of their most beloved albums. Incidentally, they're also a band Alex and Mike can't agree on to save their lives.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Sonic Youth EP 16:36 Confusion Is Sex 20:22 Bad Moon Rising 36:32 EVOL 48:47 Sister 59:07 Daydream Nation 1:13:42 The Whitey Album 1:36:22 Goo 1:54:02 Dirty 2:11:26 Outro 2:28:45   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: Confusion Is Sex (1983) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Dirty (1992) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Daydream Nation (1988) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Confusion Is Sex (1983) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

Episode 140 takes on the mission to find the song of the summer (for the third year in a row!) beginning with our dissection of MK's dance-pop hitter featuring Chrystal - "Dior".  Castle and JAG are back and in a brand new setup to take on a fresh beat that's tearing up the chart, that may have been created just to net Chrystal some fresh Christian Dior bags. Do these DJs know what Christian Dior is? Do you have an issue with people who type multiple question marks in their question messages? And what is the perfect setting for a song of this vibe? It's all discussed - NEXT!Watch the Video Podcast: https://youtu.be/Z_6dtF4GbDU

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Kelly Osbourne: “Papa Don't Preach” Epic Records, 2002 Pitchfork Rating: 3.7In a move that can only be described as “aggressively Y2K,” Kelly Osbourne—daughter of Ozzy, wearer of neon hair, and survivor of MTV's The Osbournes—emerged from the reality-TV fog of war to drop her cover of Madonna's “Papa Don't Preach.” A bold choice, given that Madonna's version is iconic, controversial, and, crucially, good. Kelly's version? It exists.Let's be clear: this is not so much a cover as it is a hostage situation. The song has been taken, tied to a chair in a Hot Topic changing room, and forced to watch early-2000s nu-metal music videos on loop. Guitars are over-distorted. The vocals sound like they were recorded on a Motorola Razr during a family argument. The production is less “punk rebellion” and more “GarageBand preset titled ‘Mall Goth.'”Osbourne's voice, while not the worst thing to ever emerge from a celebrity lineage (looking at you, The Return of Bruno), delivers the lyrics with all the emotional depth of a mildly annoyed barista. When she pleads, “I'm keeping my baby,” it sounds less like defiance and more like someone refusing to return a damaged Forever 21 item without a receipt.That said, there's a perverse charm to it. Like a can of expired Monster Energy found under a car seat, it's a little gross, vaguely threatening, and very much a product of its time. There's even something punk in the audacity of it all—less “fight the system” and more “I dared my label to let me do this and they blinked.”Ultimately, Kelly Osbourne's “Papa Don't Preach” is the kind of cover that reminds you of how great the original was, mainly because halfway through, you'll probably stop and listen to Madonna's instead. And maybe that's the point. Or maybe it's just a vibe. A crunchy, chaotic, eyeliner-smeared vibe.Best Track: The 1986 original RIYL: Watching VH1 at 2 am, burning your ex's hoodie, riding in the backseat of a PT Cruiser.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

This week we're discussing every album by This Heat. This is a band we don't really have words for because they're unlike anything we've ever heard. To put a genre on them feels silly, especially considering some of their songs could hardly be considered music. But they are indeed one of the most original bands we've ever come across, with songs that could never be replicated or imitated. This Heat is the real deal.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 This Heat 21:26 Health and Efficiency 36:14 Deceit 39:20 Outro 1:04:02   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Albums we discussed this episode...

Say what you want about your average mobile game, but there are a growing number of great RPGs you can play on your phone. Sure, some have hostile gacha mechanics, and many of the best get shut down eventually, but the care, budget, attention, and talent that goes into some mobile RPG soundtracks is no less than their console or PC brethren. In some cases, it's even tragic (or tragedic...) that we may only have a collection of music to remember some games by. So join us today as we cover a bunch of music for games that rarely, if ever, make their way into typical episodes of Rhythm Encounter!(Please note this episode was recorded far in advance of publication, so the notes about recent episodes of our other podcasts are outdated, but you should listen to them anyway!)Featuring: Mike Salbato, Patrick Gann, Audra Bowling, Pete Leavitt; Edited by Jono LoganLinks for this episodeSmoke Signals at Sea transcribed by k l e i a クレイア: YouTubeSarah Brightman Interview on Love and Deepspace: YouTubeTracklistWhat's in a Name, Anyway?0:09:54 - ‌Smoke Signals at Sea (Yasunori Nishiki) - Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent OST vol.20:13:20 - Tragedic Paramours (Shunsuke Tsuchiya) - Another Eden OST 2Boisterous Relaxation0:30:30 - The story so far (Shuhei Naruse, perf.

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Matchbox Twenty – "Unwell" Atlantic; 2003 3.2By: Dax Mumberson, Pitchfork ContributorThere are songs that define an era, and then there's “Unwell” by Matchbox Twenty—a song that limply gestured at defining something before retreating back into a GAP sweater of its own design. Released in 2003, but spiritually 1998, “Unwell” is a murky broth of acoustic sincerity, radio-safe angst, and the sonic equivalent of a lukewarm Sprite left on the counter at your divorced dad's condo.Frontman Rob Thomas—America's reigning monarch of bland competence—delivers a performance that screams, “I'm sad, but like, in a relatable, post-TRL way.” His voice trembles with a vague vulnerability that makes you think, “This man has probably stared out a rainy window, but only during a sponsored VH1 special.” The lyrics read like therapy Mad Libs: “I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell” is the kind of line that makes your aunt nod solemnly and say, “That's deep,” while clipping coupons for gluten-free Oreos.Musically, the track is as adventurous as a mayonnaise sandwich. A plodding acoustic guitar trudges along next to a drumbeat that sounds like it was generated by a coffee machine having an existential crisis. The whole thing feels like it was designed by a focus group of 36-year-olds who just discovered feelings and are very tired.It's not that “Unwell” is bad in the way that, say, an active crime scene is bad—it's more that it's aggressively beige. It is the sonic equivalent of that one IKEA lamp you forget you own until it catches fire. It's a musical shrug. A warm sigh in cargo shorts. A song that says, “Hey, we might not be okay, but at least we're doing it in khaki.”And yet, somehow, this song slaps. But only if you're in a dentist's chair, high on nitrous, pondering every life choice that brought you to this point.TL;DR: If adult contemporary were a medical condition, “Unwell” would be the symptom, the diagnosis, and the follow-up email confirming your next appointment.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

Her first album released as an independent artist, Period is Kesha's sixth studio album. With her taste for experimental pop on full display, the album is a return to Kesha's wilder, hedonistic, “hot mess” era, filled with brash and unfiltered music. The popstar says her goal was for it to create a safe space for people to feel fully embodied and liberated, unfiltered, and fearless. Estelle Clifford joined Jack Tame to give her thoughts on the album. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're discussing every album by The Stone Roses. This band put out one of the most beloved albums of the 80s and then proceeded to completely crumble under its success, churning out one massive disappointment of a followup five years later, only to immediately break up. A harrowing tale, but at least we have some fun tunes out of it.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Brian Wilson Tangent 8:59 Back to the Band History 15:29 The Stone Roses 19:23 Second Coming 42:50 Outro 1:08:49   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Albums we discussed this episode...

Divinyls – “I Touch Myself” (1990) ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ Genre: Sexy Pop-Rock with a Side of Subtle ShoutingIf you've ever wanted to tell the entire world you're into yourself—like, really into yourself—but with an Aussie accent and a jangly guitar riff behind you, "I Touch Myself" is your anthem.Released in 1990, this song boldly launched a thousand awkward glances across car radios, shopping centre PAs, and family BBQs. It's essentially a public service announcement for private pleasure. The late, great Chrissy Amphlett croons with the kind of sultry conviction that makes you wonder whether she's flirting with you or challenging you to a fight. Possibly both.Musically, it's a classic pop-rock banger dressed in leather and smirking. The guitars chug along with a no-nonsense energy, while the chorus barrels in like a drunk confession that somehow made it onto Top of the Pops. It's catchy. Dangerously catchy. You'll find yourself humming it at work and immediately questioning your life choices.Lyrically, it's… well, it's not subtle. There's no poetic metaphor here—no “my flower blooms in solitude” kind of vibe. Just straight-up: “I touch myself.” A line that makes 13-year-olds giggle, adults pretend not to hear, and cool uncles nod in silent respect.What's genuinely impressive is how it flipped the script. At a time when most female-fronted pop-rock was still toeing the line between “empowered” and “palatable,” Amphlett smashed that line with a riding crop and lit a cigarette on its ashes. It's one of the few songs where the chorus feels like both a dare and a declaration.Final Verdict: "I Touch Myself" is a bold, brash, unashamed celebration of self-love with a riff you can strut to and a chorus you probably shouldn't sing in front of your boss—but will anyway. And honestly? That's kind of the point.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy! Use the promo code "1001songs" at checkout for 10% off!

Lorde has described her fourth album as her rebirth. ‘Virgin' is her attempt to make a document that reflected her femininity, which she described as “raw, primal, innocent, elegant, openhearted, spiritual, masc”. It deals with themes of gender identity, body image, and mental health, a more introspective album than its predecessor ‘Solar Power'. Estelle Clifford joined Jack Tame to share her thoughts on the album. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been nearly nine years since we published our first episode about RPG forest music, so it is high time we revisited the topic! Forest music comes in several varieties, from contemplative to mysterious, upbeat to foreboding, and many more. Today's long-awaited episode covers RPG music with a real range, both in terms of styles but also in that the games span many years, between 1995 and 2022! Give it a listen and let us know what some of your favorite forest music is.Also, an important note to our listeners: We apologize for the delay in publishing this episode!

Krayzie Bone] Universal; 2006 6.4 (but only if you're in a Dodge Charger with illegal tints)“Ridin'” is the rare kind of song that makes you feel both like a criminal and a misunderstood philosopher—if your philosophy thesis is mostly about how the cops are always watching, especially when you're doing absolutely nothing suspicious in a 22-inch rimmed Escalade at 3am.Chamillionaire, whose name sounds like a Monopoly villain, delivers a performance so straight-faced it could pass a lie detector test while stealing your catalytic converter. Backed by a beat that somehow evokes both “Matrix car chase” and “Windows XP screensaver,” he lays out a lyrical treatise on racial profiling, vehicular paranoia, and the delicate art of looking fly without catching a felony.Enter Krayzie Bone, who slides into the second half of the track like your friend who showed up late to the heist but still brought the good balaclavas. His rapid-fire verse is technically impressive and emotionally impenetrable—a poetic flurry of words that makes you think, “Wow, this is definitely about something deep,” even if you catch about three words total.“Ridin'” had the cultural reach of a flu strain. It was everywhere. Car stereos. Flip phones. Your cousin's MySpace page. It was a protest anthem, a meme template, and a ringtone all rolled into one—basically, the Swiss Army knife of 2000s rap.Is it a good song? Kind of. Is it a perfect song for imagining yourself in a slow-motion low-speed chase through a Taco Bell drive-thru? Absolutely. “Ridin'” doesn't care if you're actually ballin'—it just wants you to feel like you are, especially when you're crawling through traffic with two broken taillights and something mysterious in the glove box.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

This week we're discussing every album by Creedle. If you haven't heard of this band, don't worry, no one has. However, we urge you to change that today. Creedle is one of the most criminally underrated and underappreciated prog bands that exists. If you're a fan of Mr. Bungle, King Crimson, Secret Chiefs 3, or just crazy music in general, then they are an absolute must listen.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 Half Man Half Pie 13:24 Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 34:40 When the Wind Blows 53:28 Outro 1:16:00   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars (1994) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Half Man Half Pie (1992) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: When the Wind Blows (1996) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Half Man Half Pie (1992) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

Flo Rida – “In the Ayer” [feat. will.i.am] Atlantic; 2008 2.1If you've ever stared into a lava lamp and thought, “What if this could somehow be a song?”—well, congrats, your dream was made flesh in In the Ayer, the auditory equivalent of bedazzled cargo shorts and Axe body spray. Flo Rida, not known for subtlety or, say, substance, teams up with the ghost of will.i.am's interest in music to bring us a track so hollow, it could be used as a teaching tool in physics classes on resonance chambers.“In the Ayer” (yes, ayer, because why not butcher a vowel for swag?) is essentially a three-minute motivational poster shouting “PARTY!” at you in all caps. The beat is what you might hear if someone fed a Casio keyboard nothing but Red Bull and positive affirmations. will.i.am contributes the kind of hook that makes you question whether he was even in the studio or just texted it in from a pool float somewhere in Ibiza.Lyrically, Flo Rida invites you to "throw your hands up" roughly every five seconds, suggesting he might be confused and think he's leading a hostage negotiation. Every verse feels like an inspirational quote with a concussion. The only thing more repetitive than the chorus is the sinking feeling that this song was engineered in a lab to sell energy drinks.And yet, for all its sins, “In the Ayer” is weirdly indestructible—like glitter, or Guy Fieri. It's not a song so much as a vibe you regret catching. Somewhere, right now, it's still echoing in the background of a nightclub bathroom, and you know what? That's exactly where it belongs.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy! Use the promo code "1001songs" at checkout for 10% off!

Their 27th album and their most theatrical yet, Phantom Island is the latest release from Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It's a partner to their prior album, Flight b741, and was recorded during the same sessions, continuing on with the same themes, but with a more orchestral sound. Estelle Clifford joined Jack Tame to share her thoughts on the album. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're discussing Lucro Sucio, the latest album by The Mars Volta. It's been three years since the Volta surprised us with their self-titled reunion album in 2022, and now Lucro Sucio shows the band even less predictable than ever. This easily has some of their most deep and psychedelic production. However, we still have problems with the album as a whole.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website

Luke Bryan – “That's My Kind of Night” ⭐️ 1.9 / 10 Label: Cliché Hat Records, a Division of Bud Light SoundsIf a monster truck rally had sex with a Bass Pro Shops flyer during an Axe Body Spray commercial, the baby would be “That's My Kind of Night.” And that baby would grow up to wear cargo shorts year-round and call every woman “ma'am,” regardless of age.Luke Bryan, country music's reigning fratboy-in-chief, delivers this track like he's double-fisting a Natty Light and reading lyrics off the back of a hunting permit. It's less a song and more a checklist of things a 12-year-old thinks are cool: trucks, beer, girls in painted-on jeans, trucks again, the moonlight, catfish dinners, and did we mention trucks?Musically, it's a country song in the same way a microwave burrito is Mexican cuisine – technically accurate, deeply offensive, and likely to make you question your life choices. The beat is a Frankenstein's monster of pop-country gloss and trap-lite drum loops, which means it will either make you dance or commit a minor crime in a Walmart parking lot.Lyrically, Bryan sounds like he dared himself to cram every bro-country trope into a single three-minute yeehaw. "I got that real good feel good stuff up under the seat of my big black jacked-up truck" – which is exactly the kind of sentence you hear before someone revs an engine at a red light and then crashes into a Chili's.And don't worry, he rhymes “corn” with “horn” and “party” with… “party.” Twice. Shakespeare is shaking in his boots.You get the feeling that Luke Bryan wrote this on a napkin after doing shots of Fireball with the Duck Dynasty guys. And that napkin then somehow won a CMA award.Recommended if you like:Mud for recreational purposesSongs that think “fishing” is a personalityThe idea of consent, but not the practiceFinal thought: This isn't a song. It's a backwards hat doing donuts in your soul.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy! Use the promo code "1001songs" at checkout for 10% off!

This week we're discussing every remaining album by legendary prog rock band King Crimson. This episode tackles 1981 - 2003, where KC mainstays Adrian Belew and Tony Levin first join the group. Despite some moments that are a bit dated (specifically in the production), Robert Fripp and company continue to surprise us with their sheer audacity in their songwriting. Maybe these albums aren't perfect, but they sure are impressive.   Intro/Overview 00:00 Discipline 11:13 Beat 27:15 Three of a Perfect Pair 36:39 THRAK 50:18 The ConstruKction of Light 1:11:34 The Power to Believe 1:26:42 What are they up to now? 1:39:13   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: Discipline (1981) -- Best Album THRAK (1995) -- Personal Favorite The Power to Believe (2003) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: The ConstruKction of Light (2000) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Beat (1982) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

We're a music podcast now! Welcome back to our Post-Weird pod summer. We discuss the current state of the charts and the sense that this year has been a boring year for pop music, especially compared to last year. Plus, thoughts on the upcoming Lorde and Turnstile albums, some reflection on the new Kali Uchis record, and more.Hosted by Stephen Williams and Zack Miller

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Fergie – “Fergalicious” ⭐️ 2.1 / 10 Label: A Delicious Flop Pastry RecordsAh yes, “Fergalicious” – the 2006 cultural artifact that dared to ask: what if a spelling bee had a sugar crash during a rave at Claire's Accessories?Fergie, freshly emancipated from the Black Eyed Peas' deeply important catalog of "My Humps" and "Let's Get Retarded," decided it was time to define her solo artistry by shouting her name over a beat that sounds like a Fisher-Price drum machine possessed by Satan's annoying little cousin.There's a beat, technically. There are lyrics, allegedly. Will.i.am, never one to skip a paycheck or a confusing production decision, blesses the track with all the subtlety of a jackhammer in a porcelain museum. Together, they craft a song that's somehow both aggressively confident and terminally insecure – like if Regina George had access to FruityLoops and unresolved trauma.Lyrically, it's a feminist manifesto if feminism were exclusively about making boys drool while you “be up in the gym just workin' on your fitness.” Fergie is your witness. We know this because she tells us. Over. And over. And over.To its credit, “Fergalicious” is deeply committed to being what it is: a chaotic, hyper-glossed sugar rush of ego and electroclash. It is the sonic equivalent of chewing 14 pieces of Hubba Bubba while being screamed at by your older cousin who just discovered ringtones.You don't listen to “Fergalicious.” You survive it. You emerge on the other side a little dumber, a little gayer, and a lot more appreciative of silence.Recommended if you like:Spelling your name in publicThe scent of pink glitterThe phrase “tasty, tasty” shouted at 120 bpmFinal thought: It's not so much a song as it is a personality disorder set to a ringtone.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

This week we're discussing Birthing, the latest album by Swans. Our history guy and interviewer Tom Osman is filling in for Alex this week to reflect on our recent interview with Michael Gira, as well as take a deep dive into the final massive Swans album we're likely ever going to get. Birthing is as intense as it gets for Swans, so fans will be in for a treat, despite its 2 hour runtime. Be sure to check out all our episodes chronicling Swans' entire discography (episodes 150, 160, and 170), as well as our interview with Michael Gira.

In this special edition of the Dissect DJs we open up the Grab Bag and ask some of the most thought-provoking, mind-shattering, inquisitive questions to ever be discussed in podcast form, to the soulful sounds of Young-Holt Unlimited's 1968 classic "Soulful Strut".Would you rather be an Oompa Loompa or one of The Lost Boys from Hook? Climb the beanstalk from Super Mario or run the loop in Sonic the Hedgehog? Be granted your biggest wish or avenge your greatest regret? Who would you rather fight-  The Breakfast Club cast or the entire team from The Mighty Ducks? All this and more on a very soulful episode of The Dissect DJs - NEXT!

Scandal'us – Me, Myself & I (2001) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Pitchfork, 10.0)In an era bloated with faux-indie self-seriousness and turn-of-the-millennium testosterone-pop, Me, Myself & I arrived like a rhinestoned meteor, obliterating subtlety and redefining post-reality-TV sonic maximalism. What begins as a breakup anthem quickly transcends genre, gender, and good taste, ascending into something close to pop transcendence. The chorus, a rallying cry of self-sufficiency, lands with the force of a glitter bomb in a therapist's office—half defiance, half denial, all iconic. It's not just a song; it's a syllabus in empowerment, delivered with the emotional range of a confetti cannon and the production sheen of a freshly laminated soul. In a just world, this would play every time someone leaves a toxic relationship and when they finally delete Facebook. Scandal'us weren't just Popstars winners—they were oracles. And Me, Myself & I is their shimmering, immaculate prophecy.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy! Use the promo code "1001songs" at checkout for 10% off!

This week we're interviewing Michael Gira: leader, vocalist, guitarist, and main songwriter for the legendary Swans. Swans' latest album, entitled Birthing, releases on May 30 and is reported by Gira to be the band's final large-sounding, expansive album.

Episode 136 throws it way back to 1958 when Ritchie Valens made this classic that still gets played today - "La Bamba", that then Los Lobos imitated in 1987.It's our second ever translation episode (first being Gangnam Style) where we try to decipher what this song is really all about, who did it better, and determine if it might have the best guitar breakdown in music history.

(To be read in a dramatic voice) No one would have believed... ... that a tale so vast- of death, alien destruction, heat rays, Phil Lynott, and the Moody Blues- could be told through orchestral prog rock, synths, and frying pans. Yet today, Frizz and Bob pop open Quest's End Paladin Whiskey & Ardbeg Uigedal Scotch to bring you PART ONE of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds- a British sci-fi marvel that, for decades, has been misunderstood and mostly unseen by the American eye. In this first chapter, we set the stage: The backstory. The architects of the sound. The players of this curious sonic war. The chances of you missing this are a million to one, they said. Yet, here you are. Next week... the invasion begins.

This week we're discussing every album by Eyehategod. From New Orleans, Eyehategod are one of the most quintessential sludge metal bands that exists. Led by vocalist Mike IX Williams and guitarist Jimmy Bower, this band has been through hell since their formation in 1988. But they're still going strong after being wrecked with drug abuse, incarceration, and death.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: In the Name of Suffering (1990) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Take as Needed for Pain (1993) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Take as Needed for Pain (1993) -- Best Album Eyehategod (2014) -- Personal Favorite A History of Nomadic Behavior (2021) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

This week we're tying up some loose ends by discussing the world is still here and so are we, the reunion album by mclusky. This is a reunion neither of us saw coming, but is shaping up to be one of the most memorable musical moments of the year. If you're a mclusky fan, chances are you won't be disappointed by this album. It's as fun, wild, and unpredictable as we've come to expect from these guys.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website

This week we're discussing every album by Green on Red. Let's not beat around the bush here. We hated this band and if we had any idea what they sounded like before this episode, we wouldn't have agreed to do it. It's our fault, honestly. But we listened to every album thoroughly regardless. They're a country rock band led by Dan Stuart and that's about all you need to know.

RPG title screens bear a heavy burden. They're one of the first things we see in a game, making them one of the best places to leave a strong first impression. And often, a key component of that is the music. Several years ago, we highlighted eight standout title screen tracks in episode 71, and today, with a new panel, we're highlighting eight more! Come in and enjoy the music of several games you may know and some you likely don't.

This week we're discussing Lonely People with Power, the latest album by Deafheaven. We've been massive fans of Deafheaven for years, but 2021's Infinite Granite had us split down the middle. Lonely People with Power shows the band returning to black metal in a massive way, shattering any assumptions people may have had that they are now a full-blown shoegaze band. Once again Deafheaven proves they are more than capable songwriters and continue to experiment in innovative ways. Crank this one.   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website
