    Meat Puppets 1981-1984: In a Car • Meat Puppets • Meat Puppets II

    Season Five of Discography begins where the desert first started humming: before Too High to Die, before MTV, before “Lake of Fire” became somebody else's campfire song. Host Marc With a C traces the earliest evolution of the Meat Puppets through three foundational releases: the frantic In a Car EP, the feral self-titled debut, and the astonishing leap that is Meat Puppets II. Along the way, we'll follow Curt Kirkwood, Cris Kirkwood, and Derrick Bostrom as they transform from Arizona hardcore outliers into one of the most imaginative bands to emerge from SST Records. This isn't a show about gossip or mythology; it's about the stories pressed into the vinyl: how five minutes of chaos on In a Car hinted at something stranger. How the debut LP stretched hardcore until country, folk, and psychedelia started leaking through the cracks. And why Meat Puppets II remains one of the most startling artistic left turns in American independent music. In this season debut, we'll examine songs that seem to wander in circles only to arrive exactly where they needed to be; across desert landscapes, black rainbows, lakes of fire, plateaus, through tumbling tumbleweeds, and the peculiar way the Kirkwood brothers make existential dread sound oddly comforting. Proof that sometimes the strangest path is the straightest one, because the best records don't just ask you to listen, they ask you to keep climbing until you find yourself up on the sun.

    Meat Puppets 1985-1987: Up on the Sun • Out My Way • Mirage

    The Meat Puppets didn't leave psychedelia behind after Meat Puppets II, they disappeared into it. In this episode, host Marc With a C follows Curt Kirkwood, Cris Kirkwood, and Derrick Bostrom through three releases that transformed the band's sound without sacrificing its identity: the luminous Up on the Sun, the adventurous Out My Way EP, and the dreamlike Mirage. Still recording for SST Records, the trio embraced melody, atmosphere, and fearless experimentation, proving that "punk" had never been the destination. This isn't a story about a band mellowing with age, it's about artists becoming increasingly comfortable trusting instinct over convention. The songs stretch toward the horizon, guitars shimmer like heat rising from desert asphalt, and melodies drift in and out of focus like mirages themselves. Their psychedelia isn't just an effect, it's a perspective; one where the ordinary world quietly slips the leash. Discover why these albums reward the kind of listening that lets your mind wander rather than race toward conclusions as they blur the lines between country, folk, garage rock, and cosmic exploration. All the while, Curt Kirkwood's elliptical lyrics leave just enough space for listeners to finish the picture. Expect conversations about suns that never quite set, landscapes that seem to breathe, and visions that vanish the moment you think you've understood them. The Meat Puppets were never interested in handing you a map, they're more interested in showing you the horizon... and asking what you think is waiting there.
