Several Beatles songs, Fontella Bass and Len Barry's "1-2-3". Even "The Eve of Destruction", it's first cousin "The Dawn of Correction" and a mediocre Patty Duke song can't bring us down!

Send us Fan MailHave you ever felt like life only gives you two options?Follow the path… or say screw the path.That's what most people think.Side A says do what you're told—school, college, job, retire. Side B says forget all that—do it your way, no rules.But here's the problem…One side leaves you stuck. The other leaves you lost.In this episode, I'm breaking down the side nobody talks about—Side C.The place where you don't follow society's plan…but you don't drift either.You build your own life—with intention.I'll share my own story—walking away from the traditional path, spending years wandering, and what finally changed when I stopped drifting and started moving with direction.Because here's the truth…You don't need to have it all figured out. But you do need a direction.You do need a plan.Even if it's just an idea.Because life doesn't show you everything upfront—she'll give you just enough to take the next step.And that's where everything starts to change.Keep it simple, keep it moving, never settle, stay tough.Peace.Support the show

Welcome to the third and final part of our Black Sabbath expedition with Rick Bruce from Moonshine Docks and formerly of Coffin Mulch! We dive deep into the tumultuous yet fascinating journey of Sabbath's later years and the cap it off by discussing the often-maligned 'Never Say Die' album. From Ozzy Osbourne's erratic behaviour and his temporary exit, to Sabbath's experimentation with new soundscapes and their revolving door of members throughout the 80s and 90, nothing is off limits. We've got a few hilarious and poignant anecdotes, tackle critical reviews, and even compare Sabbath's work to culinary experiences. Tune in for a spirited debate about one of rock's most controversial albums and find out if 'Never Say Die' deserves its spot in the rock pantheon or the bargain bin. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:05 Black Sabbath Expedition Begins 01:08 Diverging Opinions on Black Sabbath's Evolution 01:41 Ozzy's Departure and Band Dynamics 03:03 Ronnie James Dio Era 10:21 Heaven and Hell Album Discussion 19:44 Mob Rules Album Insights 22:42 Born Again and Beyond 33:40 Headless Cross Era: A Stodgy Comeback 34:47 The Tony Martin Reappraisal 35:31 Tear and Headless Cross: A New Sound 38:57 Dehumanizer: The 80s Band Reunites 43:38 Cross Purposes and the Grunge Era 49:32 Forbidden: The Misstep 56:55 Never Say Die: The Final Ozzy Album 01:12:34 Nosey and the 70s Sound 01:12:50 Sabbath's Unique Riffs and Drumming 01:13:16 Influences and Inspirations 01:14:17 Critiques and Musical Textures 01:15:30 Hard Road and Vocal Performances 01:16:49 Medieval Covers and Side 2 01:19:23 Shockwave and Air Dance 01:24:08 Over to You and Breakout 01:27:04 Swingin' the Chain and Album Conclusion 01:35:14 Final Thoughts and Reflections

More of the American charts for July of 1964. The Beatles, George Martin, Lesley Gore, Solomon Burke, Burt Bacharach/Hal David and more. Stick around for a supercut that includes the Carpenters, Luther Vandross (duetting with Aretha) and more! #madeonzencastr.
Our first months of four sides. The first week of June 1964 on the Billboard Charts. Irma Thomas (The Soul Queen of New Orleans!), The Girl from Ipanema, the Impressions, Sam Cooke and Johnny Rivers (who might have sold more records than Elvis and the Beatles over some period of time, along with a Bobby Vee song we'd rather forget. #MadeonZencastr.
The late, great Audrey Hepburn once said “I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. Especially when they're included on rock n roll albums from the mid 2000s” Well Audrey, that's an interesting perspective and we hope that we agree when we get to The Miracle on this side of In Your Honor. Will Corey be smitten with the first song that Dave ever wrote on acoustic guitar and will Kevin dig a complete change of pace from the raucus tracklist we've listened to so far?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, pin me down, and go another round.Songs covered in this episode: "Still", "What If I Do?", "Miracle", "Another Round", "Friend of a Friend"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

The Billboard charts for the final two weeks of April 1964. Rampant Beatlemania (not starring Terri Hemmert), and a couple of tunes that must be heard to be believed! #MadeonZencastr
The conclusion to our series on World War I & Heavy Metal in which Quinn discusses his new-found love of Iron Maiden, the Russian Revolution, the final battles of the War to End All Wars and a few thoughts on why this global conflict has become so important to the history, philosophy, and future of the genre.
More from March of 1964. Even more Beatles on the charts, but figures including Lenny Welch, The Shirelles, Tony Bennett, Bobby Goldsboro and others you may or may not remember continue to make appearances. #madeonZencastr
THE CONCLUSION. Kyle's still alive. Barely. In side C we get to the point of this whole sorry triumvirate of episodes: to discuss Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. And the nexus. Of course.
Last week was heavy. We ended on a pretty sour note. This week is slightly better if only because you get to hear some actual music and we talk a lot less about war criminals. Operative word here being less; we're talking about Ceca this week which means we must talk about Arkan. After that we then get start to look at some of the other popular turbofolk artists that emerged in the late 90s and 00s, then
The Beatles continue rampaging the charts, but the Americans also stake some ground. Two sides from Elvis in the charts (one good, one very bad), The Shoop Shoop Song, a bad Merseybeat knockoff and a Beatles novelty record (about the hair, of course) written by someone you might not expect! #madeonzencastr.
Corey and Kevin are back to continue their deep dive into 90's Metallica, covering Side C of “Reoad”. The boys were split on last week's songs and are heading into the tail end of this season. Will they have enough stamina to get over the line? Will the wild things get them? Will they be charmed by a non-democratically monarch? Or will they choke on a bad seed? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and wake up sleepy one!Songs covered in this episode: "Bad Seed", "Where The Wild Things Are", "Prince Charming"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

R.E.M. never really chased superstardom, and yet they found themselves thrust into it in the mid-90s. Last week we ended by talking about Green and Out of Time. In part three we chat about Automatic for the People and Monster, before diving into the records they made after drummer and founding member Bill Berry left: Up, Reveal, Around the Sun, Accelerate and Collapse Into Now. This episode's the longest of all four parts precisely because we cover so much ground. We try to give each album a fair hearing before we circle back to Chris' choice of New Adventures in Hi-Fi in part four/Side D. There's a ton of samples of this, and it soon becomes clear that without Berry and dimming commercial appeal, that they were starting to become a little bit listless. Hope you enjoy getting stuck into it!
The conclusion to our 6-Part Series on the life and works of Ronnie James Dio... #Dio #BlackSabbath #Dehumanizer
Corey and Kevin are back to continue their deep dive into 90's Metallica, covering Side C of “Load”, the follow up to the gigantic Black Album. Kevin really wasn't keen on the hero song but what will he make of Metallica dipping their toes into Bluesy waters? Will Corey be on board with trying to headbang to the country stylings of Mama Said or will it send him into a tailspin?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and waste your hate!

So here we are, the truly magnificent, slightly chaotic, overly long conclusion to our Xmas madness. It's seen us well into January this year, which is maddening and funny. We had so many questions this year. A ridiculous amount, frankly. But we couldn't let the die hards down, and that meant doing each and every single one. Somehow, despite divvying them up equally across the three episodes, the final part of this trilogy comes in a whopping 3 hour episode. Yes folks, bear witness to our first and hopefully last ever 3 hour episode. It was a chore, the edit was painful but it was also an immense amount of fun. This is probably actually our funniest episode ever. The hot takes are hotter than ever and the bantermobile has gone off the track and into some truly outlandish territory. After all this we're taking next week off. Mostly because we actually have a lot to do and a lot of research on a band with a huge back catalogue. A band you perhaps never thought we'd cover (it's not Prince). To keep you going we've created a playlist of our favorite albums of 2023. See ye in two weeks!
We close out October 1963 with two more weeks that have nothing to do with Eeephing or Ardells. Somehow we manage a Happy Days reference, and a story about George Greif. #MadeonZencastr,.
It comes down to this, really - is Incesticide an unsung classic? We've added to the discourse around Nirvana's back catalogue, with the exception of this album. Hopefully we've said something different, or offered a new, enlightening perspective. Or maybe we're just talking unlimited rubbish. Either way, on the face of it it seems quite unthinkable to call anything by Nirvana unsung. It's hard to wrap your head around that idea that maybe there's some underappreciated gems somewhere that haven't been rinsed to death by their legions of fans over the years. Our take? Yeah, there probably is some things you missed first time around, and a good selection of them are on this record. What do you think? Let us know on our socials! Find parts one and two here and here.
In the spring, TJ attended a small dialogue, Oriented to Love (OTL), sponsored by the Christians for Social Action. OTL hosts thoughtful conversations across difference, specifically among Christians, both queer and straight, who take on different beliefs and positions on questions of gender, sexuality, and how those topics interact with their faith. It's a rare opportunity when someone can hold space for people to meet, care well, listen carefully, and share their stories honestly. Oriented to Love aims not to change anyone's mind, but to facilitate listening and thoughtful dialogue among participants. In this episode, TJ talked David through his experience in this group conversation and the many additional questions that emerged from the experience. — Note: This episode uses the terms “Side A” and “Side B” (and X, Y) as shorthand quite a bit. If you're new to the conversation, you might find it helpful to check out Communion & Shalom episode #3, where we talk through the four “sides”: #3 - A-B-Y-X | 4 Sides on SSA/Gay Sexuality Also note that “Side C” is sometimes used to refer to a perspective that doesn't choose a “side” or tries to make space for all “sides” to exist in unity. __________ Timestamps (00:27) What Is "Oriented to Love"?
