Dad Bops‪™‬ Dad Bops™

hello again daddies and dadettes - as we continue to stagger out of our Covid-19-induced flop era we're back with a dad-approved review of The Smiths' genre-making "The Queen is Dead." by now, you know the drill: tune in for music takes but also hot takes on incel ideology, how Morissey prefigured the "I don't deserve rights" meme, Alicia Silverstone's antivax politics (and OnlyFans account), the Richard Siken bot, why Nina Dobrev sounds like a Soviet spy, and why buying Smiths CDs is like buying secondhand leather. We loved this one so much we went beyond the album with four personal favorite bonus tracks (and did plenty of Morrissey impressions along the way). enjoy!

your intrepid hosts are back to discuss (after a long detour about our cats) london calling by the clash, the rare dad band with openly leftist politics. tune in for our digressions on neutral milk hotel, the politics of drug use, how aggressive it would be to order a banana split on a first date and an incredibly inaccurate history of the deaths of many famous hollywood stars and starlets.

after extreme political unrest in LA, coronavirus and the 2020 election cycle nearly broke our cycle, we almost hung up the dad bops mantle for good. instead, we're back reviewing the beatles' seminal album sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band!! listen to hear us finally "get" the album's ranking in their discography and for lily and I to get in an argument over the song lovely rita

After many fits and starts Dad Bops is back for season two with Rush's 2112. Join in for Lily's discovery that she accidentally picked an album that's essentially Ayn Rand fan fic (with a side of Twilight Zone fan fic) and for our dissection of the selfishness of libertarianism—plus you get to hear us paint a picture of a dystopian future where we all only get paid in late-stage U2 albums.

we took a six-month hiatus but now that we're all losing our minds in quarantine, why not tune in for a decadent dose of island escapism with the boomer soother himself, jimmy buffett? this one is a long time coming and is the raison d'etre for this entire podcast, as grace will explain. in this ep we do our first ASMR mukbang, compare jimmy buffett's oeurvre to office space and ponder where jimmy buffett falls on the white devil vs. woke king gradient. turn on ur blenders, grab ur salt shakers and buckle up b/c ur not gonna want to miss this one- in quarantine, jimmy buffett's absurdist hedonism is the perfect antidote to your deteriorating sanity

This is the triumphant and SpOoKy return of Dad Bops just in time for Halloween!!! This time it's the '67 classic psych(otic) freaky folk hippie album Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane (ie Grace Slick and the rest of the band who will remain unnamed). We get into why feelings are spooky and upsetting, the secret meaning of 3/5 of a mile, drug culture, annoying intellectual bros talking about media and a lot of other stuff. We're back baby!!!!11 (ALSO stay tuned for new outro music by Matt Buechele, Late Show with David Letterman comedy writer and twitter personality extraordinaire!)
