AHHAHAHA I'm assuming you side with Jude on that one.

UPDATE: I really like the new Foo Fighters record. For reals! It only has one portentous, overblown ballad and the other ballad has got a '70s AM Gold vibe going, complete with breathy, "I'm Not in Love" backing vocals. The remaining 7 tunes are all rockers. On the front end they're going for something a little funky, like Dave listened to a lot of Prince and instead wound up writing songs that that sound like Beck circa "Midnite Vultures" on steroids (not nearly as funny, though). On the back end the songs are more straight forward, think Queens of the Stone Age with all the deliberate weirdo bits removed. The last tune is actual pretty damn close to Cheap Trick-y power pop, which is something they haven't done well in a long time. And it's all over in 36 fuckin' minutes! Win Win!

On the pod front - FLIP YOUR WIG episode being recorded this weekend. Jude said I can blame him for the delay, but it's really both of us. Can't wait as this is one of my all time favorite albums.

It may crack my top 10 too. It was my introduction to the band. Very influential on my teen years. Excited to listen to the episode Greg!

I was fortunate enough to tell Bob that story about "Games" the 1st time I interviewed/met him. For those of you who might care, about 30 seconds before the end of the song, there's a stuck groove on my copy (an old '80s pressing I'd for almost 30 years now) that was audible on every turntable I've ever played it on until my current one (so it actually plays through until the end of the song/sidenow), so I'd initially thought it went "some ga-ames, some ga-ames..." over and over again and I still hear it like that.
I also don't mind "The Baby Song" and like viewing it as an intro to "Flexible Flyer" (the next song on the album). I think it's funny. On New Day Rising, though, I tend to skip "How to Skin a Cat" and find it annoying, though.

Will that be the next episode? Agree with Matt, I listen to that one a lot more than I used to. I'll be anxious to hear the Greg/Jude take.

TWO new episodes went up today.
The first is an interview with Scott McCloud (Soulside/GVSB) and the other is us breaking down "BEASTER" by Sugar.
