(What's The Story) Morning Glory - Oasis | REUNION TOUR! But does this album hold up?

Hello everyone for Episode #21 of Playback! This week we are diving into OASIS! Now that their spectacular reunion tour is underway (which Brandon got to see at The Rose Bowl) we figured now was a great time to dive into their classic 2nd album - (What's The Story) Morning Glory? Brandon and I are both newbies to the Oasis canon, and this is actually the first album we've done on the show that NEITHER of us was familiar with beforehand. We go a little rough on this album, but I think we give it all its due praise as well. It's a rare, nuanced take from the Playback boys. Enjoy this episode, and please comment below what you think!

Playback EP20: The Mollusk - Ween | Featuring Kyle Clark

Today, we are joined by Kyle Clark of the This Is Rad Podcast to discuss the amazingly underappreciated album THE MOLLUSK by WEEN. We quickly discuss the history of the band, as well as what makes their particular brand of genre-jumping hilarity work so well, despite not being a "comedy band." We break down all the great tracks on The Mollusk and debate whether this is even the best Ween album to have this discussion on. All in all, this was an incredibly fun episode.

Playback EP17: Heart of the Congos | Lee "Scratch" Perry's Masterpiece

On today's much too long episode of Playback, we dive into the mystical world of Lee "Scratch" Perry, and the masterpiece HEART OF THE CONGOS! We talk about The Black Ark recording studio that Perry built in his backyard yard which was covered from top to bottom in mystical writings, sculptures, and painted symbols. We demonstrate the effects and techniques he employed to achieve such a murky, magical sound like the one featured on Heart of the Congos. We also talk about the cadre of unbelievable musicians that Perry had at his disposal for this album, and discuss exactly how sound of mind Perry was when it ultimately came to burning down his own studio. Chapters: 00:00 (Intro) 00:17:46 (Who is Lee "Scratch" Perry?) 00:50:38 (The Black Ark, and effects demonstration) 01:42:03 (How did The Black Ark burn down?) 02:03:20 (The Music of Heart of the Congos) 02:32:48 (Standout Songs) 03:02:24 (Final Thoughts) F or full AD-FREE episodes, bonus video episodes, and more content, please subscribe to our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/c/BlackMarketDub Follow us on Instagram: @blackmarket_dub To listen to our music, visit: https://blackmarketdub.bandcamp.com/ For vinyl purchases and more: https://escapehatchrecords.com/ #music #podcast #discussion #leeperry #reggae #70s #theblackark #leescratchperry #thecongos #jamaica
