    Flex Your Head 22: The Replacements - 'Let It Be'

    Scream Therapy host Jason Schreurs and Flex Your Head all-star Mike Isacson delve into our favourite fuckups The Replacements and their career defining album, Let It Be. An unusually diverse album, equal parts rollicky punk rock and heart-wrenching ballads, Let It Be found the sweet spot of what would later be called "indie rock." rhino.com/article/the-replacements-let-it-be-deluxe-edition-remastered-expanded-with-unreleased-rarities-out Featured song clips: The Replacements - "I Will Dare" from Let It Be (Twin/Tone Records, 1984) The Replacements - "Sixteen Blue" from Let It Be (Twin/Tone Records, 1984) The Replacements - "Unsatisfied" from Let It Be (Twin/Tone Records, 1984) Goo Goo Dolls - "Iris" from Dizzy Up the Girl (Reprise Records, 1998) The Replacements - "We're Comin' Out" from Let It Be (Twin/Tone Records, 1984) The Replacements - "Black Diamond" from Let It Be (Twin/Tone Records, 1984) Kiss - "Black Diamond" from Kiss (Casablanca Records, 1974) The Replacements - "Unsatisfied" from Let It Be (Twin/Tone Records, 1984) The Replacements - "Answering Machine" from Let It Be (Twin/Tone Records, 1984) About this podcast: Flex Your Head is a spinoff of the Scream Therapy podcast where host Jason Schreurs welcomes a guest each episode to discuss a classic punk album.

    Flex Your Head 21: The Blood Brothers - 'Burn, Piano Island, Burn'

    On episode 21 of the Flex Your Head special episodes, host Jason Schreurs welcomes back his friend Donald Kennedy. Together, they try to make sense of The Blood Brothers' 'Burn, Piano Island, Burn'. This truly bizarre album was poised for something big, yet was too unapproachable and downright oddball to be appreciated by "normal" people.
