What if Scott Pilgrim's garage rock band Sex Bob-Omb was real...? Well, it might sound like our guests for this episode, The Stinkeyes!!! What if we had that band on our podcast???

Today, the concept... is revenge. Not just any revenge. A revenge that would go on to define the entire Thrash Metal genre. It's Dave Mustaine versus Metallica... Part ONE: Megadeth.

100 - 300 samples. That's how many songs, give or take, that went into the production of Beastie Boys' sophomore opus, "Paul's Boutique". After getting run through the music industry, sold as frat rap, and having a less than fly time in New York after their brush with success. After a few years, they escaped New York, saved by The Dust Brothers out in LA. The rest, is hip hop history. Today we have back video game aficionado, musician, and friend of Dave, Moses Wolfenstein!!! Every...

Courtney Love. A woman plagued by tragedy and misogyny, tabloid and conspiracy. She has been called a lot things over the years, some by friends, many by the media. She has had beefs with the likes of Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan, Gwen Stefani, and Tori Amos, to name a few. However, one thing is certain. She is a force to be reckoned with. Today we're discussing the album that came out less than a week after Kurt Cobain's tragic passing, and a few months before the passing of their own bassist,...

Today we talk about the GOAT of sports video games. In 1999, a man by the name of Hawk cashed in all of his clout for one game that would change the landscape of games forever... and its music. We're talking about the soundtrack that introduced a generation to bands like Dead Kennedys, Primus, The Vandals, and Goldfinger, to name a few. This soundtrack, and the rest of the soundtracks in the series still resonate to this day with skaters, punks, and music lovers alike. It's Tony Hawk's Pro...

From music becoming illegal to sexual expression becoming illegal, Joe has quite the dystopian adventure. After plooking Sy Borg too hard, he ends up in jail and is forced to create music in his own mind to save himself from becoming a drone for this new "orderly" society.

We discuss all 47 tracks in one action packed podcast episode and you're not going to want to miss it!!!!

He plays us a whole album worth of Christmas hits, discusses the origin of Brak, and an EXLUSIVE reveal of...

Ok, so it's Brad... back from LA... Jumbo's Fun Room didn't work out and now I'm in the doghouse... Jon and Dave picked the album after they found out that I was coming back as host, so... you can only guess who the unwelcome guest is... Anyway, this is a really cool hip hop zombie apocalypse album by an amazing team in the twin cities. Hope you enjoy it.

What's up everyone it's Nate here with our first episode of "The Concept", a rebranding of The Album Concept Hour, now with more personality and introducing our new correspondent Sam Bronn! Brad left us high and dry by staying out in LA, so now I can finally really start to clean up this disaster that he created. In keeping with the spirit of the album we're covering today we even sold all of Brad's things (sans the recording equipment) and put beans all up in the nooks and crannies of Brad's...

After 4 years of doing the podcast, Brad has finally hit the big time. That's right, he's out making a star out of himself in LA, Hollywood, California... or... at least that's what he keeps telling me. It's me, Nate Maney, the new host of the podcast... How's it goin? Anyway, I keep getting the sense that he's in some sort of trouble out west, but his wig is too big for me to see what's really going on in his LA life. But I guess this is the 4 year anniversary so we'll... keep on keeping on...

You've heard of the Monster Mash. You've seen Nightmare Before Christmas 1000 times. Your parents forced you to watch the "Thriller" music video. These are things we expect every Halloween. And like clockwork, every year they come back into the spotlight. Every year, the same playlist of the same Halloween songs and tropes. BUT NO MORE!! We've put together some of the spookiest, funkiest, and horniest novelty Halloween songs in existence--the ones that are warming up the benches, waiting to...

So I didn't mean to release an episode largely about the plight of soldiers on 9/11... but today we have an album that is about just that! Well, specifically, HORSE soldiers... We're talking about Corb Lund's love letter to the profession, Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! He's an Alberta boy that has a Texas spirit, coming from a line of country folk and horse wranglers. And we have another Alberta native to tell us his tale! Links: Born Under Punchs links :...

Today we have a very special treat for you guys. We had the opportunity to talk to CB Stockfleth, the director of The Elephant 6 Recording Company, the most highly anticipated music documentary by any indie music lover of the 90s and on. He shares with us the origin story of the documentary--from Robert Schneider believing in him to tell their story, to being brought in to the inner circle of the collective, to meeting the man/myth Jeff Mangum. Consider this a little preview into some long...

Laura Jane Grace originally pitched the concept for Transgender Dysphoria Blues as a fictional account of the experiences of a transgendered prostitute dealing with the various aspects of addiction and gender dysphoria. However, this was more than just a fictional tale to help her write, it was a way for her to start coming out as a trans person. What started as allegory became fact as she spent a few years transitioning into her new body and finding just the right bandmates to complete this...

I know this album isn't incredibly popular, but it IS an amazing concept album. But I don't need to convince you because it's already got the seal of approval from the likes of Beastie Boys, De La Soul, and Ice Cube, to name a few. This is a band that created one of the greatest sunshine pop hits of the time, "Happy Together", and had the gall to just keep doing what they wanted, which was creating a strange, but extremely competent spoof album, lampooning all of the popular song tropes of...

Let all go back to the year 2001. It's early September, and you're in that awkward stage of your life when you don't know who you are or what you like. Soon something happens that will change everything. From some far away land, something arrives in the United States that will rock it's very foundation... with an impact that we still feel a generation later... That's right. I'm talking about the premiere of Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim, September 2, 2001. When those first horns hit your ears...
