    Episode 12: Be Our (Opinionated) Guest!

    In a very welcoming episode, the boys bring in a 4th (and not in some polycule way). Our friend from WIDB Chris becomes our first (and hopefully not our last) guest on the Pod. His origin story is one of brotherhood and gaining musical and critical wisdom from his older sibling. He talks about his philosophy on music listening, some of his favorite record stores, gets ran through a gauntlet of hard questions, and seems to enjoy himself (although I think he was putting on airs just to make us feel good). He also participates in the WAYLT segment and we all go home happy. Come for the musical lovefest, stay for the opinions. https://www.reckless.com https://www.bucketoblood.com https://dustygroove.com https://zzzrecords.com/ https://fox2now.com/news/illinois/george-harrisons-long-lasting-impact-on-southern-illinois/amp/ https://plazarecords.thecodetechnologies.com/ https://www.hhbtm.com/product/black-swan-network-early-music-vol-1/ https://planetscorerecordsdotcom.wordpress.com/ https://www.vinaledge.com/ https://www.mosourcelink.com/2024/05/29/how-2-music-lovers-opened-cape-girardeaus-first-record-store-lounge/ https://tawlpaul.bandcamp.com/album/thats-just-how-i-am https://youtu.be/3urXygZXb74?si=JA3IEQhULMjALXNA https://skindred.net/ https://skorts.bandcamp.com/album/incompletement https://sharppins.bandcamp.com/album/balloon-balloon-balloon-2 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JZvBvNZ4wHY https://www.brigittecallsmebaby.com/

    Episode 11: Forgive me Father For I Have Sonically Sinned

    After surviving the last episode (it wasn't that bad, was it?), our characters of culpability show their vulnerable sides by discussing their musical regrets. They lay out all the cards on the table and put their reputations on the line and come out....possibly unscathed? Whether it's fandoms, purchases, or trends, it's all out and exposed. Also, Brad produces a list which causes anger then Al trumps him with another list and these lists combined produce CAPTAIN OPINIONS. (Spoiler Alert: The statements are not very flattering.) The WAYLT segment is jam packed with non-regrettable selections and the show ends with a benediction (not really). Come for the Usher-less confessions, stay for the opinions. Editor's Note: John makes a reference to Ace of Base. He meant 3rd Bass. Yes, he is an idiot. This will be mentioned in a future episode. https://officialflea.bandcamp.com/album/honora https://nineinchnails.lnk.to/NineInchNoize https://equalvision.bandcamp.com/album/bring-on-the-psychics https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/291130/rip-it-up-and-start-again-by-simon-reynolds/ https://open.spotify.com/album/417zi1WN5yAK4u3VOjZh13 https://thedandywarholsofficial.bandcamp.com/album/pin-ups https://open.spotify.com/album/3iSvZtc24vByAVJb1i2IaX https://thevelveteers.bandcamp.com/album/a-million-knives

    Episode 10: The Cultural Exchange Vol. 1

    After 10 episodes of AOCTO, the boys decide to go completely off format and choose violence (potentially). Part psychological experiment, part study in sabotage, Al, Brad, and John listen to each others suggested music from the past 9 shows. Will this be the end of this pod? Can you assault someone over a webcam? Will there be uncontrolled sobbing? (Not on camera because we ain't no punks). Also, Brad attempts to dunk on the concept of the greatest hits concept with mixed results. Come for the false sense of diplomacy, stay for the opinions.

    Episode 9: Opinions Are Being Expressed At My House

    In this episode of AOCTO, we discuss 1/5 of Maslow's basic needs (and no, it's not bourbon). It's the place where the musicians perform: The Venue. Al, Brad and John speak about the importance of this sonic shelter and compile a list of some of their favorites, hate on their quirks, and rave about the weirdest places they're seen bands (here's a hint: it's a place where veterans can consume cheap beer.) Also, the boys attempt to tie a relationship between metal and country, present a very noisy segment of What Are You Listening To, and all of the frivolity you would expect. Come for the merch table, stay for the opinions. https://jgthirlwell.bandcamp.com/album/halt https://sunn.bandcamp.com/album/sunn-o-2 https://anginedepoitrine.bandcamp.com/album/vol-ii https://brotality.bandcamp.com/track/wormsign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xxK5yyecRo https://www.allmusic.com/artist/kali-malone-mn0003735027#:~:text=Malone%20recorded%20Does%20Spring%20Hide,s%20Ideologic%20Organ%20in%202023

    Episode 8: Trying To Get This Damn Label Off

    What can only be described as the Fine Art of Pigeonholing, the lads from AOCTO delve feet first in the deep end of record labels and attempt to correlate buying and listening trends to various record labels. They go even deeper into the abyss known as music genres and wonder why there's a genre called s*&tgaze. The show wraps up with the universally pandered segment of WAYLT as always.

    Episode 7b: Under the Influence 2: The Wrath of Al

    Part 2 of the Influential albums completes the discussion of each member's 5 important albums (why didn't they just choose 3?) but then something HUGE happens....they decide to include honorable mentions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_the_Surface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korn_(album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetcleaner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_Threat_(album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry%27s_Dream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Feel_Alright https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Specials_(album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Fact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamboat_Annie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_'Em_All https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisfaction_Is_the_Death_of_Desire https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Sun_Went_Out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shape_of_Punk_to_Come https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgar_Display_of_Power https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downset._(album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X_(album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Record_(Fear_album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reise,_Reise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgasmatron_(album)

    Episode 7a: Under the Influence: The Influencening

    In a story as old as time itself, our idiot influencers reveal important albums core to their formation as music obsessives. It's an episode so grand, they go completely off format and even possibly have to split the episodes into parts (Spoiler Alert: They do). The show answers all the pressing questions such as: Why is Brad Drinking Water? Why is a wooden spoon used as a sight gag? Why are they doing sight gags on an audio podcast?

    Episode 6: GET OFF MY DAMN PLAYLIST

    In this infantile, yet maturing episode of AOCTO, the b'ys actually listen to what the kids have to say. The discussion focuses on what their spawn listen to and wonder if their music tastes influence what the kids seek out on streaming. There also is an attempt to discuss various genres but John steamrolls through with an angry rant about a former MTV VJ. All this AND a jam packed What Are You Listening To (now known as WAYLT). Come for the childlike whimsy, stay for the opinions. https://gogolbordello.bandcamp.com/music https://fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini-sessions-benefit-for-letters-charity https://nothing.bandcamp.com/album/a-short-history-of-decay https://anginedepoitrine.bandcamp.com/album/vol-ii https://sumerianrecords.bandcamp.com/album/seven-hours-after-violet https://thewarningband.com/
