Welcome Back, Stoppies! We're officially rounding the corner on a whole 100 episodes and 5 seasons of musical masochism, so thank you for your patience in advance for what will likely be a much more relaxed release schedule this time around. As punishment for our tardiness we kick off the "fun" by attempting to tackle cantankerous Celtic crooner Van Morrison's Latest Record Project Volume 1. An album that finds the short statured human neck lamenting the endless persecution he has suffered and continues to suffer at the callous hands of his ex-wife as well as the deep state. For Van the only thing worse than paying alimony and child support is having to wear a mask while you do it, and make no mistake he will let you know exactly how he feels about it, over babby's first 12 bar blues, for about 6 minutes at a time, about 28 times in a row. Your fave, returning guest Brandon Vallee, gets roped in to try to parse which of the two boogeymen Van is railing against on any given track, and now we're worried he'll never talk to us again. A wild night is calling, but don't blame us for what happens when you answer. Part of the Pantheon Podcast Network!

It's a bad, bad world Stoppies, and tonight's gonna be a long night as we go head to head with some of the most godawful garbage we've ever had to haul on this dumb, tragic show. Longtime besties and very funny friends Brian and Julez hold our hands as we wade through the muck of the legendarily insufferable Will.i.am whose dumb dumb drivel about girls' Donques nearly drives us off a cliff, but will it be enough to surmount the self-satisfied, homeschooled Christian theater kid sad sack jazz-rap of 21 Pilots? It's a race to the bottom once again, and at least we're enjoying the ride. All aboard, stoppies! This one's worth the trip. Part of Pantheon Podcasts.

It's that time yet again, Stoppies. M-M-M-MARCH B-B-B-BADNESSSSSSSS. Our annual tournament to determine the worst of the worst is back, and it's time for six elite-level awful musical acts to duke it out for the trophy (we should have a trophy, huh). The first match of the Preliminary Round pits Western Mass's own constipated sad dads Staind against the funkiest white boys from Nebraska, 311. As they go blow for blow we are joined by dear friend and Worcester legend Shane Hall AKA Messiah Carey, who brings fantastic insight, making the Staind-to-Honkyball connection we never knew we needed. Who will emerge victorious? Whose tunes will reign inferior? Find out on Make It Stop's World of Sports Presents: March Badness: Part Deux! Part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

Things get spicy on this week's Make It Stop as Heather and Mike are joined by veritable hardcore legend Kira Roessler (Black Flag, Dos, Awkward) and local up-and-coming musician Sophia Belle (Home Despot) to discuss The Stooges' 35-years-in-the-making fourth album The Weirdness (2007). As Heather, Mike and Sophia do their best to malign Iggy Pop and his history-making and genre-defining band for their iffy production choices, cringe lyrics and uninspiring arrangements, Kira takes them all to task, vehemently defending the band and making us all ask important questions such as: Does our criticism has any value? Why do we have to be such assholes? Is our own music really any better than this? And why exactly do we have such a problem with lyrics about dicks turning into trees? You won't want to miss this one, Stoppies. Part of the Pantheon Podcast network.

Stoppies, we know you know what Christmas is all about - materialist accumulation, wealth hoarding, Judeo-Christian values, heteronormative baking rituals, duck sex, beards. Thank the Christian God that we found an album that perfectly embodies that spirit. This Holiday Season we're talking about Duck Dynasty's 2013 Christmas Cash-in album Duck The Halls, and we're diving right in while our little webbed feet waddle in the air. Heather's music deprived husband Alex and Mike's heathen life partner Liv join in so we can flex our strong family values. It's just what you always wanted to find under the tree - a painful retread of the 2013 Tea Party-style culture wars and an exploration of how Duck Dynasty paved the way for Trump's takeover of the right. O Come All Ye Faithful. Part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

On today's Make It Stop Heather and Mike take aim at the uniting cultural event that has brought a quarantined America together: Tiger King. Specifically, the music of the King himself, Joe Exotic. Or rather, the music he commissioned someone with a much better (and clearly wildly different) voice to make. Your intrepid hosts react live to no less than 16 of the deposed exotic animal monarch's bizarre music videos, and they have it all -- outrageous outfits, unsubstantiated murder accusations, and six minutes straight of uncut ape death. It was a scarring experience and we're happy to share it with you. Stay safe out there, #Stoppies.

Welcome to our nightmare, Stoppies!It's our first episode of the 2020 MARCH BADNESS TOURNAMENT, where the lowest rated artists from the past decade duke it out to be crowned the worst of the worst. Today's showdown begins with a familiar foe, bane of the pod Eminem and the 2009 edition of his perpetual tired ass comeback routine, Relapse. Facing off against Marshall is the milquetoast mason jar wedding band Imagine Dragons and their 2014 record Smoke + Mirrors, an album distinguished only by the fact that every song featured on it has probably washed over you in a dentist's waiting room at some point. Helping us navigate this miserable matchup are fellow bad music experts Patrick and Lilz of Jukebox Zeroes, who do their best to provide objective critique while we slowly descend into madness.Who will win (or in this case, lose) - the self deprecating, over compensating musical masochism of Eminem or the literal nothingness of Imagine Dragons? All we know is that no matter who wins in March Badness, we all lose.Part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

Ladies, gentlemen, esteemed guests, THE CHAMP. IS HERE. The Massachusetts-grown 10 time world champion, human meme, and all around beefcake John Cena is the subject of today's episode -- specifically, his 2005 rap album WWE: You Can't See Me. A time capsule of mid-aughts hubris, You Can't See Me is equal parts ghastly vanity project and ill-conceived showcase for Cena's dipshit cousin Tha Trademarc. The two MCs trade verses about shooting guns and flipping bricks as the eyes of every listener collectively roll deep into their skulls at the audacity and caucasity. Local filmmaker and wrestling afficionado Tony Fernandez joins Heather and Mike to analyze the merits and flaws of Make It Stop's latest white rap slog. You feeling froggy, Stoppies? THEN JUMP.Part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.

This week we're joined by Chris the Elder and Chris the Younger from the We'z Talkin' Weez 2 Thee podcast. We tap into their boundless Weezer knowledge to try to make sense of 2009's Raditude. Rife with cringe lyrics, questionable genre bending and incompatible collaborations, Raditude oozes unbearable corniness. We discuss the once mighty rock giants' fall from grace and gradual transformation into a childrens' novelty rock act. We discuss Rivers Cuomo's questionable proclivities. Mike in particular is wildly excited to finally be able to nerd out about Weezer. Our love is a heartbreaker, say it ain't so, Stoppies. Part of the Pantheon Podcasts network.

IGH! It's The Big Day today, Stoppies, the Season 3 Premiere of Make It Stop! And to celebrate our Big Day, we're reviewing... The Big Day! Chance The Rapper's "first album" and massive fall from grace. After dropping his all time classic mixtape Acid Rap and following it up with the massively successful gospel rap fusion of Coloring Book, Chance finally released an official album -- a concept album about loving his wife, loving god, and really really REALLY loving his wife. Devoid of replay value or any remotely appealing elements and clocking in at over 70 minutes, The Big Day is in the running for biggest disappointment in hip-hop history. And is there something dark and sinister beneath the glossy surface? Is there a great pain and resentment lurking between the lines? Chance The Rapper Ex-Superfans Mike and Heather hit the studio by their lonesome to ponder these thoughts, searching for an answer to the grand question of WHY? WHY DID HE DO THIS? WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CHANCE? It's "great" to be back Stoppies!This show is part of Pantheon Podcasts

This week on Make It Stop we close out season 2 with a bang, bringing back four beloved guests to take on the newest album by the worst of the worst -- Brokencyde. Brandon Vallee, Angela Sawyer, Emily Ruskowki and Nick Ortolani join Heather and Mike to talk about the scenesters turnt hipsters as they transition from crunkcore, discover weed and Juuls, and continue pretending they know how sex works. All of this in front of a live audience at Somerville's VOX POP studio in Assembly Row. It gets weird and gross as we search for meaning in the wasteland that is Brokencyde's lyrics. We laugh, we cry, and we're gonna miss you all this summer. Godspeed ye Stoppies. Good night and good luck.

Ziggy Stardust. The Thin White Duke. Jareth The Goblin King. David Bowie went by many names and adopted many personas during his 50+ year career, and in that time he quickly became a rock legend, selling over 100 million records and taking his place at the top of the pop culture pantheon. All accolades aside, we here at Make It Stop take great pleasure in tearing down the infallible, and David Bowie is no exception. On this episode we dig through his catalogue of over 25 studio albums to bring you the bottom 10 worst David Bowie songs of all time. From schmaltzy covers to cheesy 80s synth jams to adult contemporary snoozers, this list runs the gamut of garbage, and is sure to be a dire warning to all Stoppies that cocaine is a hell of a drug.
In this episode, we talk with Tristan Ervin. He's one of our most exciting community members, whose already won an award for his bike customization, and now tries to tackle tricks.
Is this meme still relevant? Episode 78 of Look At My Records! features nine of Tom’s favorite songs from a decade ago and nine of his favorite songs from the first three months of 2019. Take a trip down memory lane as we revisit some classic tunes by Real Estate, Times New Viking, Yo La Tengo, Girls, Vivian Girls, and more. Plus, Tom shares some brand new tunes from Tallies, THICK, The Stoppies, Julia Jacklin, and more!
Oh Danny Boy, the Peas the Peas are calling. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we've decided to bless our dear #Stoppies and curse ourselves with a shitshow of epic proportions. Heather and Mike are joined by stalwart friend of the pod Brian Melanson (The Cobcast) as well as our dear friends Jewelz Sherratt (Solo Sexx) and Dave Klotz (cool and nice guy) to dive into the back catalog of the Black Eyed Peas one drink at a time. That's right, we listen to not one, not two, not three, but FOUR BEP and BEP-adjacent albums for the first ever MAKE IT STOP POWER HOUR. With only 60 seconds to talk about each song and a rapidly skyrocketing blood alcohol content, Heather, Mike and their guests have to race against the clock to get their "witty" "banter" in before the buzzer. It's...well, it sure is something alright. So pull up a stool and cry some drunken tears of laughter into your green beer. Erin Go Bragh you bastards.
We're justifiably in a position that we'd rather not be in listening to this album. But the cream will rise to the top, ooh yeeeah. Macho Madness, yeeah, has got more to offer than Mike and Heather think that Macho Man's got, yeeeeah, and let him tell you somethin' right now, cards stacked against Macho Man Randy Savage's album Be A Man, let him say it yeeeah, let him say it out loud and let him point to this week's guest Jenelle Valencia of the Boston League of Wicked Wrestlers, The Macho Man Randy Savage is not happy with Make It Stop, yeeah. He is the cream in the World Wrestling Federation and there is no doubt about it, yeeah, you Stoppies know that he's the cream of the crop!
As we ring in the new year, we can't forget to pay the proper (dis)respect to the worst music that 2018 had to offer. From the requisite washed up 90s rockers, to the alt-right anthems, to the shallowest of rappers, we've got ourselves a smorgasbord of shit on this episode of Make It Stop. We didn't think it could get worse than 2017, but we should know by now that we're in a never ending race to the bottom, and just when we think we've reached it, the bottom drops out. So pour yourself a celebratory glass of bubbly and toast to Heather and Mike's misery, you sadistic Stoppies you. Cheers, pricks!
Our lifestyle determines our deathstyle, Stoppies, so we're destined to be killed by trash music. For the first time ever on Make It Stop we return to a previously reviewed artist, in this case a now Lou Reed-less Metallica, and their infamous 2003 disasterpiece St. Anger. Maggie and Ashleigh from Rock Candy Podcast join us as we discuss Lars Ulrich's shit sandwiches, Bob Rock's flowing mane, and James Hetfield's fruitless search for self-actualization. We also talk at length about how St. Anger is an abominable blight on the band's career, sounds like it was recorded in an oil drum, and has NO GUITAR SOLOS. WHAT THE HELL. HOW DO YOU MAKE A METALLICA ALBUM WITH NO GUITAR SOLOS??? UGH. Check out the Rock Candy podcast at www.rockcandypodcast.com!
Make It Stop is back and worse than ever, Stoppies! The inaugural episode of Season 2 finds Heather and Mike enduring the musical stylings of Tommy Lee for the first time since Mötley Crüe’s Theatre Of Pain. This time around it’s his nearly forgotten early 00s experimental rap rock side project Methods Of Mayhem. It’s got all the hallmarks of the genre, from gross sex lyrics about jizzy jism, to sound bytes of hitting meth pipes, to obligatory Kid Rock and Fred Durst features. Joining our hosts on this odyssey is Worcester’s favorite son Marcus Ohanesian. Combined, they leave no stone unturned in discussing the finer points of Tommy Lee’s career — from his ill-fated marriage to Pam Anderson, to his lengthy criminal record, to, of course, his legendary penis. Lots and lots of talk about Tommy Lee’s penis in this episode, that we can promise you. Like way too much Tommy Lee penis talk. That’s what we call a comeback, Stoppies!
We answer a bunch of listener emails and we make a bottle of excellent tequila disappear.

Alright #Stoppies, it's time for yet ANOTHER round of soulless white boy blues pap, this time courtesy of your beloved childhood heroes, the Simpsons! How much sax does one album need? Is it #ImTooSaxy or #IWantToSaxYouUp? Will anyone write a 5 paragraph essay about Hinder? Why are we threatening our audience with death? Why does Mike Dunn find joy in torturing his friends on his birthday? Find out all of the answers by listening to our latest episode! Check us out on www.makeitstoppodcast.com, and like and Subscribe to us on iTunes so we can keep the hits coming!
Stoppies, we like you so much we're even willing to try Butt Stuff. Rather than easing our way in for our first foray into the putrid realm of Butt Rock, we're taking a full plunge, discussing Hinder's downright detestable debut Extreme Behavior. Joining us are fellow tastemakers of trash Lee Martin and Patrick SB from the Jukebox Zeroes podcast. Along the way we moan and groan and generally try to steer the conversation as far from the subject at hand as possible, but just when we think we're out, Hinder pulls us back in. "Blower" indeed.
Goodboix and Stoppies come together this month on Jukebox Zeroes! In which Lee and Patrick, joined by Heather Mack & Mike Dunn of fellow bad music podcast Make It Stop, dig deep into the psychological thriller that is The WWE's Hulk Hogan & The Wrestling Boot Band's singular release: 1995's Hulk Rules. Join them as they uncover the dark secrets the album holds, including a slow descent into Hulkamania, a conspiracy to sell buffalo meat, the restless ghost of "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and Jimmy "Mouth Of The South" Hart's silky croon.Recorded live in the studios of Boston Free Radio in Somerville!This Month's Local Artist Feature: Horse Mode - "A Summer Ham"
Mike and Heather go in RAW this week as they explore How Could It Be, the musical debut of comedy legend Eddie Murphy. Released at the apex of his Hollywood ascent, How Could It Be finds Murphy trading his well-honed comedic chops for thin, unassured falsetto vocal runs and confounding lyrics about the apocalypse. Are writing assists from juggernauts like Rick James and Stevie Wonder enough to carry the album? Will it make you want to "Party All The Time" or just leave you "C-O-N Confused"? Local comedian Nonye Brown-West joins us to help answer these burning questions. Go ahead and strap into your red leather jumpsuit, Stoppies, 'cause this episode of Make It Stop will make you DELIRIOUS.
Top of the morning to y' Stoppies, we're right chuffed to bring you our latest episode, and this one's a British Invasion! This week's episode finds us disco dancing with the devil, as we review Elton John's much maligned Victim of Love, a several-years-too-late collection of half-assed disco tunes so soulless that Sir Elton himself doesn't bother to write any of the music or even play the friggin' piano on it. Wading through this glitter-encrusted turd of an album with us is local funny guy Dicky Stock, famous for his legion of colorful Facebook characters including the legendary Kimmy Strubell. We even have a call-in from a veritable English lad himself, which you won't want to miss. Pip pip, cheerio, and whatever the hell else you Brits say--it's time for another episode of Make it Stop!
Happy new year, Stoppies! Just kidding. 2017 was already pretty brutal, but we're here to put some crap-icing on the trash-cake with a roundup of all the anti-anthems of this past year. Take a deep dive down with us to the bottom of the bad music barrel where we dissect the treacley corporate cut-and-paste drivel that characterized the worst of this year. Be prepared to abandon your heroes as we bemoan the tepid trainwrecks put out by artists that last hit their prime over a decade ago, who should have taken our podcast's advice to "make it stop" far before we ended up in this mess. Plus help us decide our next terrible album! Let's hope 2018 is on the up and up, because it's all downhill from here on this episode of Make it Stop.
