AUDIO FIXED. Thanks to our fans for pointing this out to me in lots of texts. I loved it.
Hey everyone. We are getting double teamed by the Beatles this week and it might make us cream our eyes out. We combined these two albums so we don't go insane. I wish I would have done the history of the album before each one but we still get to hear about Flavor Savers, the Best Christmas Movies, and having sharp bones.
We talk about the benefits of breaking up, we talk to Beck Claus, and reflect back on our busy 2025.
Next week we are talking Pink Floyd, "Wish you were here" and we question our sanity for the 264th time.

260. The Slits: Cut 1979 (01:22:27)
Listen. We know you are not here to hear what we have to say. You are here because you are HUGE The Slits fans. We get a pleasureable voicemail where Russ has to face his greatest letdowns, Aaron tells his most pathetic story ever, and we ask if there are any good restaurants in Edina that won't make you wait!

We talk about one of the greatest voices of our generation and of course I am talking about Russ and why he won't come to NYC for thanksiving (being forced to go to parades.)
We are talking about Janis Joplin- Pearl and we are blown away by the album. Great music, great voice, and just like Matt's love- language, the album is a touching tribute to a singer who died before the release.
Aaron went to an 85 yeart olds birthday party and Rob is being disrepectful. Then we talk our favorite port arthur texas alums and explore Janis' short but bright career.

D'Angelo- Brown Sugar (1995) Tribute to D'Angelo (Originally Aired 3/19/24) (01:29:26)
Hello, one more ep for D'Angelo but as I was listening to this, I realized what a canon episode this is. Shoplifting from the airport, going to watch the State of the Union Address, plus a Big Bopper call. I also left all of Russell's original notes in the episode because they are brilliant.
We are the world. We are children. We are the ones who make the best podcast about D'Angelo and the 183rd greatest album of all time, Brown Sugar, so you should start listening.1
Before we get to the music, we provide our rebuttal to the State of the Union with some discussion about the Wizard of Oz, the keys to good hospitality, and 44 days of amazing music in 1991.2 We're also your accountability buddy when it comes to airport etiquette when we chat about security checkpoint stops and normalizing kiosk shoplifting.
Then at (55:00) this podcast takes a smooth turn when we discuss D'Angelo's 1995 debut studio album Brown Sugar. We discuss D'Angelo's double entendres, the Voodoo sound, and the best weed songs ever.3
Next week we just want to have fun when we become the best Cyndi Lauper podcast and cover her 1983 debut studio album, She's So Unusual.
1. The opening of this writeup was a play on words from the song We Are the World, which was covered in the 2024 Documentary, The Greatest Night in Pop.
2. If our discussion of the 7 Legendary Rock Albums that were released in 44 days gives you the perfect body feeling, then reading this article reference will put a little mustard on it.
3. If you think this video of Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson singing Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die deserves a two-star rating then you probably should've just left this podcast about 15 minutes earlier.
D'Angelo: Voodoo (2000) Beck Does it Again (Originally Aired March 02 2021) (01:41:43)
Reposting this episode for D'Angelo, who passed away this week. The legendary Neo Soul singer make music and music videos sexy, but more importantly, he made Aaron talk about hanging his clothes up to dry (in his house!?!!
What is this dumb podcast?
254. Herbie Hancock: Head Hunters (1973) (01:52:26)
Hey everybody, welcome to KJAZZ where we are talking one of the best selling Jazz albums of all time (until 1980.). We talk cooling mint, library stress, getting harassed by fans on the plane, and why you should go to that funeral.
Then we become the best Herbie Hancock podcast of all time and talk the merging of Jazz and Funk to make one of the best vibe albums of all time. We also explore the world of Stars on 76 and the songs that lost the 1981 best R and B album.
Next up, we are going to do a replay... but after that! We are doing the Freewheeling Bob Dylan.
253. Pink Floyd: Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967) (02:01:20)
Hey... come on in, sit back, and take your socks off and enjoy the Pink Floyd album you have never heard nor heard a song off of.
This is the episode where someone took 100 mg of the limitless drug and decided to host a podcast. We visit iwaspoisoned.com. and figure out the worst place to get tilapia before our flight to Chicago, find a new kind of Cheerios, and we are on a diet so we will just have the broccoli. Aaron buys a fridge that has a message about Grannies in your Area (sorry Mother in Laws) and we read a literal message to a granny!
Then we listen to a psychedelic rock album that makes us think about Aereola 51 and we reach for the stars on a list about the greatest space rock. Then we listen to some weird british stuff that was recorded in the same place as Sgt. Pepper.
Then there is nothing at the end so don't listen if you are related to me.
Next week, we go bananas for Herbie Hancock Head Hunters.
252. Devo: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (1978) (01:40:18)
We know you like it extra SLOPPY.
The first 25 min are the worst show we have ever done. Then Aaron saves the day.
We mostly come up with things to tell Aaron later like Maxim magazine, our fantasy teams, and the Charlie Sheen documentary. Aaron talks carpooling, sloppy joes, and we find out how much beef jerky is in our houses... Rob talks about dispensing justice, the career of Mark Mothersbaugh, and how Devo combined punk and new wave.
Matt highly recommends the Devo documentary and I recommend leaving a voicemail at 218 341 BECK.

The greatest love of all is loving your shelf.... that holds the best selling album of 1986, its this one... Whitney Houston by Whitney Houston! We become the best podcast about THE VOICE with the only Whitney Houston album on this dumb list!
but before we talk about Whitney, her voice, and her legacy, we talk selling cars, seeing rap shows, and making commitments and the best selling albums of 1986.
The album is a banger and ends with one of the worst songs ever, once again proving Russell's theory.
next week we hit 250 with the Buzzkills and Singles Going Steady.
Beck Did It Again! Johnny Cash: At Folsom Prison ReRelease (01:57:37)
We can't get together to record due to the summer being over and everything happening at once so we got together with our good friend Jon and talked a little Minnesota State Fair because Johnny Cash is the first person to ever sell out a concert there!
Listen up! This ep is funnier than I thought and has an all time "next album" joke that won't make you mad you stuck it through to listen to it!

Sorry for the late upload, I could not find my Dad's computer and he was sleeping. I am 45 years old.
We are now the best LL Cool J podcast and we are talking about the GOATs 4th album Mama Said Knock You Out. We discover that this is really a love album, an album about how much this guy loves food. From Candy Bars to Cereal, LL was starving when he made this album.
We talk about the price of those famous MN cheese curds, friends forcing you to miss work to go to a winery, Matt is still in Noth Dakota, and Rob realizes again that he is a grown child who might also be breaking a number of cyberstalking laws.

Beck Does it Again: Paranoid by Black Sabbath (01:45:33)
With the passing of Metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, we felt it was fitting to release an old episode where we listened to one of the first metal albums ever "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath. We recorded a little intro after our last episode but this episode is chock full of goodies from 2023. Russ does a parody song, Russ looks for a missing car, Matt talks Minneapolis concerts, and surprise surprise, Rob talks about candy and then we talk Metal and the hardest metal riffs of all time.
We are out of town so enjoy this episode and RIP Ozzy who not only invented metal but also invented the celebrity reality show which is why I really will miss him. Ozzy walked so "The Simple Life" could run.
