    EP214: Fake Names "Expendables"

    EP214: Fake Names "Expendables"

    Is the sum greater than (or ever equal to) the parts?  In this case, Fake Names is the sum and the parts are Refused, Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Embrace, One Last Wish, Soulside, Girls Against Boys and Fugazi.  It’s a tall order to be sure and the supergroup pulls from some varied influences, some more expected than others.  How close do they get to their lineage.  We discuss (without surprisingly little debate).

    EP213: Reevaluation - Ratt "Out of the Cellar" - Is this album actually greatt?

    Part two of our Reevaluation Series where we review an album that we loved in our youth and turned violently against as we became mature music snobs to ask:  Is This Album Actually Great?  This time its Ratt’s 1984 debut “Out of the Cellar.”  The answer might surprise you, unless of course you’ve heard this album before (then the answer is obvious). 
     
    RIP Bob Nalbandian

    EP212: Agnostic Front "Cause For Alarm"

    EP212: Agnostic Front "Cause For Alarm"

    Agnostic Front’s second album divided their Hardcore following due to its obvious Metal leanings but these inclinations brought in the Metal kids as the two crowds increasingly began to blend.  Before long “Cause For Alarm” would be heralded as a classic in their catalog and along with releases by SOD, DRI, COC and Suicidal Tendencies would come to define the Crossover genre.  Today it sounds distinctly of a time and that time kicked ass.  
     
    RIP Bob Nalbandian

    EP211: The Charlatans "Some Friendly"

    EP211: The Charlatans "Some Friendly"

    We spent last episode Shoegazing and this week we’re tripping in our bucket hats all the way to Madchester to talk about The Charlatans 1990 debut.   Known in the States for the bands lone radio hit,  “The Only One I Know,” the band was a smash in their native England where a full blown scene of drug taking, baggy clothes wearing, dancing to the break of dawn Brits was sweeping the nation.  The Charlatans, along with with The Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, The Happy Mondays & 808 State were the soundtrack.  But how does this stuff hold up today?  Pretty damn well actually.

    EP210: Ride "Nowhere"

    EP210: Ride "Nowhere"

    It’s 1990 in the UK for a couple of weeks on the HHPP starting with Ride’s stellar debut.  The Oxford quartet  along with My Bloody Valentine were the stalwarts for the then gestating Shoegaze scene,  but while MBV leaned more heavily into the sonic chaos of Sonic Youth, Ride drew on the psychedelia of The Stones Roses.  Regardless of shared of specific influences, each would release masterpieces at the start of the decade, starting with Nowhere.

    EP209: Television "Marquee Moon"

    EP209: Television "Marquee Moon"

    Never Mind the Bullocks, Rocket to Russia, Animals, Low, My Aim is True, Heroes, Rumours and yes, Aja all came out in 1977 and Television’s Marquee Moon might be the best of all of them.  It's punk but atmospheric, arty but accessible, full of attitude but emotional, catchy but virtuosic.  It’s the masterpiece that hides in the shadows, sneaks up on you and then stays with you for the rest of your life.  We find a variety of ways to express this sentiment over and over again for an hour and half.  Enjoy!

Great pod

Please do a Manchester version of great cities:

Stone roses, joy division, oasis and so much ore more material to work with.

Magnum Steve.I. ,

Excellent podcast

I’ve been listening to this pod for the better part of a year and it keeps getting better. Mike & Rod (and Glen when he’s on) offer unique insight to some great music. I’m partial to the punk/hardcore episodes, but still find something interesting in all of their discussions. My particular favs are the Naked Raygun and Fugazi episodes. When can we finally get one dedicated to Hüsker Dü?

Big Shawn OC ,
