Shit Songs Off Great Albums

Kevin Morby – City Music

This week we take a listen to Kevin Morby’s (or is it Keith Dorby?) ‘City Music’.  Listen as TD compares songs to John Wayne on a horse.

Our first guest , Art Teacher Timbo, attempts to recite Fitter Happier, and WG proves TD completely wrong while reeling off numerous albums with better second halves than first.

Damien Rice – O

The debut solo album by Irish singer songwriter Damien Rice is on the decks during our latest podcast.

Join as we discuss why we love the Irish, and get sidetracked discussing romantic comedies, past gigs, and The Dude’s inability to remember literally anything.

Foo Fighters – The Colour And The Shape

The 2nd album from American Rock legends Foo Fighters that catapulted the band onto the global stage.

Plus, what’s the correct listening process when digesting an album, and is Dave Grohl now more famous than Kurt Cobain? 

Amy Winehouse – Frank

The first British woman to win 5 x Grammy Awards.  Amy Winehouse left her mark on music with this stunning debut showcasing vocals and nous beyond her years as she channels jazz, soul and blues into a remarkable debut.

Bob Dylan – Blonde on Blonde

One of the world’s first double albums, and the culmination of Dylan’s 15 month period where he recorded 3 x albums that changed the face of music.

The Prodigy – The Fat Of The Land

Is the 1997 album from UK band The Prodigy the anti-thesis of Britpop, or was it the start of a new wave of music for electronic trance?  All that, plus one exceptional unedited gaffe…

Jane’s Addiction – Nothing’s Shocking

The 1988 debut album from Jane’s Addiction is under the microscope as we dwell on Perry Farrell’s choice of hats, Dave Navarro’s slick guitar, and Flea’s cameo on a trumpet.

David Bowie – The Next Day

“Bowie could sing the Yellow Pages, and it’d sound amazing.” – Gold, Walt.

Truer words have definitely been spoken.  However, one can’t deny the music and songs from the 24th studio album by David Robert Jones.

Oasis – (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?

For our 2nd Episode, we tackle, the 2nd studio album by English rock band Oasis – (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?

Claimed to have sold over 22 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time, and appears on several lists of the greatest albums in rock music.

As of July 2018, it is the UK’s 5th best-selling album of all time, having sold over 4.7 million copies, and was also the biggest-selling album of the 1990s in the UK.

Radiohead – The Bends

This week’s conversation is on British rock band Radiohead’s album – The Bends.

Their second studio album, released on 13 March 1995 saw the band progress musically from their debut album, Pablo Honey.

While the band didn’t quite scale the peaks that their debut single had in the US charts, peaking in the US charts at #88, it reached #4 on the UK charts.

Critically acclaimed by some, slated by others, the band themselves would come to love some songs of the album, and hate others.

Amid a torturous few years for the band, this was the perfect album for them to create as the prelude to their career defining release a few years later.
