Jimmy Buffett, "Math Suks"
Quack quack! This week we're talkin' Jimmy Buffett and his signature beachy style of tunes, with a special focus on his 23rd album "Beach House On The Moon." Aug and Mack talk about Jimmy's fabulous wealth, the Margaritaville video game, Johnny Depp, and how Buffett has ridden this musical gravy train as far as it can go idea-wise. Plus, we just like the guy!

Sia, "Puppies Are Forever"
Have you ever recorded a podcast episode dunking on someone who maybe doesn't deserve it, but then before the episode is released they come under fire for the casting in their new movie, so it becomes good to dunk on them? In our second Christmas episode of 2020, the hell boys are talking Sia and her out-of-character Christmas album from 2018. Our ears bleed as we discuss the put-upon vocal style of the music, whether Sia has ever performed on Ellen, pig carcasses, how weird and hilarious it is to love dogs, and if Sia is still alive. All of the answers you have been waiting for are revealed, plus a special Christmas edition of Jam Of The Week!
Thank you to Rachel for the great request this week! If you have a request for Music Hell, email us at MusicHellPod@gmail.com, or send us a DM on Instagram @MusicHellPod (where we post bonus content every week).

Paul McCartney, "Wonderful Christmastime"
Rock it man! In the first of our two Christmas episodes, the hell boys take on a classic holiday hit by one of those bumbling Beatles. We talk the maddening repetitiveness and simplicity, the time Ringo ate too many jelly beans, just how much money Paul made from this song, Johnny Depp, and "Temporary Secretary."

Korn, "Way Too Far" (feat. 12th Planet & Flinch)
This week, thanks to a wonderful listener request, the hell boys are filling their ears with Korn. - specifically, Korn's oft-ridiculed dubstep album. Topics include Korn Koffee, Korn's history with Toys 'R Us and Mike Huckabee, Jonathan Davis' bagpipe performance, and possibly the single worst piece of music played on the show so far!

Customer Reviews
Just Hellishly Fabulous
I listen to 15-20 hours of podcasts a week and this has been, by far, my favorite piece of the rotation. I believe I have truly and genuinely laughed out loud during every episode. Mack and August cover the the pathetic cruft of the music industry with such breadth. They investigate some of the worst (and most hilarious) music I’ve ever heard. I think similar podcasts often fall into the trap of eventually regurgitating the same critiques over and over again, but I’m always astonished by Mack and August’s ability to decipher the distinct details that make each track so painful. The chemistry is wonderful. I always feel like I’m sitting in the living room with them riffing on these awful tunes — a great balance of casual intimacy and meaningful critique. It’s just so funny, people. So funny.
Raise Hell
This podcast has become the highlight of my week. And listen buddy you don’t know me but I’ve got good taste. In a world that celebrates the feeling of cringing, this podcast is a perfect fit. Before Music Hell, I knew that music could be bad but I didn’t know that I could feel it in my bones and teeth. Thank you August and Mack for putting in the extensive research time and for suffering in hell. Though they are ruthless in their critiques, Music Hell never crosses the line into cruelty towards the artists, illustrating the guys’ genius at podcasting. In the same way that those who enjoy Mystery Science Theater 3000 love movies, if you like music you’ll love Music Hell. And who doesn’t like music? Or laughter? Dorks? Are you a big dork? No? Well listen to Music Hell please - you’ll like it.
See You In Hell
If I have to spend time in hell, there’s no one I would rather spend it with than Mack and August, the creators of this hilarious and insightful podcast. Mack and August find some of the best worst songs and somehow talk about them in an interesting, hilarious, and informative way, without any of the pretension or mean spiritedness that typically comes with people talking about bad music. As Rodney Atkins famously sang “if you’re going through Hell keep on going, don’t slow down, if you’re scared don’t show it, you might get out before the devil even knows you’re there (but if you happen to run in to Mack and August, stop a while and take a listen).”
