Pod Like a Hole

Final Episode_Pretty Hate Machine (WITH DECAY)_Reflections

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 13:08:04 +0000

The End.

A review and a look back.

It’s been over seven years since Marc and Steve brought on an intern (Eric) to create a music review podcast. Since then they covered every single NIN and Bowie song, and 42 separate albums by other artists ( plus related discographies). The Trio has reached the end of the road, and they find themselves back at the starting line.

Pod Like Hole’s pilot experiment, the first episode, was Nine Inch Nails' “Pretty Hate Machine”, but the Hole Boys didn’t really know what they were doing yet. Blushing amateurs, they bungled a classic record. In the spirit of setting things right in this jacked up universe, they will finish what they started. But this time....they’ll get it right. (what year is this?)

Enjoy a track by track review of “Pretty Hate Machine” , and betwixt the analysis the guys will reflect on this project, their friendship, and the incredible listeners we’ve gotten to know over the better part of a decade. It's a loose, long goodbye.

As the bionic guitars of Ringfinger echo into the stratosphere, so do your hosts. While our friendship is eternal, this project has been canceled. This is our goodbye. But …..to quote Joe Strummer, (co-creator of our only perfectly scored record), “ The Future is Unwritten”….

The Cure - Disintegration

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 08:01:00 +0000

This episode concludes our discussion of The Cure and this Pod Like a Hole season by analyzing the album Disintegration. Do we end the season on a sour note, or do we find ourselves whisked away to a world of wind chimes and thunderclouds rumbling in the distance?

Just like one of the themes of the record, everything must come to an end. We thank you, faithful listeners, for following us as we talked for countless hours about our favorite music, artists, and bands in what felt, at times, a neverending project. We ain’t quite dead yet though. Stay tuned.

All good things…

Pod Like A Hole - Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life - Part 2

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 07:12:05 +0000

This is the second of the two part Songs in the Key of Life episodes on the Pod Like a Hole Podcast. Picking up with Isn't she lovely, the hosts go deep into their notes and feelings about the second half of Stevie Wonder's opus

Editors note: This is the last time I drew the straw on editing an episode. We only have a handful left before wrapping the show up. YEARS of staying up late and cutting the conversations together of Eric, Marc, and I always re-reminded me why I've been pals with these guys for years. It was a joy and I'll miss doing it.

Stevie Wonder: Songs In The Key Of Life. Sides A and B.

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 18:51:24 +0000

Pod Like A Hole discusses Stevie Wonders' Songs In The Key of Life. The hosts touch on his other amazing 70s albums, the Wonder of Stevie Wonder, the TV Show the Curse, Weird Al, Wild Wild West, and review Sides A and B of the album - track by track.

Join us next time for side B and C. Followed by our final Podcasts that will cover Robert Smith's the Cure.

Pod Like A Hole: Willie Nelson Part 2 of 2 - Red Headed Stranger Track by Track

Fri, 05 Jul 2024 03:23:58 +0000

On the 4th of July 2024, Pod Like A Hole is celebrating by uploading our discussion of Willie Nelson's The Red Headed Stranger.

This concept album is a Sunday morning favorite in one of the hosts homes, and the boys seem to all agree that it's status as an All American Classic is no fluke. Willie bet on himself (and the talents of his sister Bobbi Nelson) and hit big.

This is the 2nd and final episode in our Willie Nelson series. Remaining artists in this final season of Pod Like A Hole are Stevie Wonder and the Cure. In that order.

Pod Like A Hole: Willie Nelson Part 1 of 2 - The man, the myth, the bandana.

Sun, 09 Jun 2024 18:12:45 +0000

Willie Nelson is many things: a lover, a traveler, a Texan, a guitar player, smoker, outlaw, hero, poet, fashion icon, actor, activist, philanthropist, gunslinger, wiseacre, animal lover, brother, father, husband (four times over), Hellraiser, braids and beard enthusiast, but most of all Willie is a friend to all.

In this episode of Pod Like A Hole the hosts discuss the life and times of WIllie Nelson. His brushes with the leaf and the law, his multiple wives, his work as a public servant to the people and animals of America, his collaborations that cross genres and his work with the other Outlaw Country Heroes, and how he manages to be a man that for 91 years and counting is still making music and along the way has become a friend to almost everyone in every walk of life.

We find time to touch on 10 or so of his standout albums (couldn't get to all 100+ of his records), and in the next episode we will dedicate the recording to his masterpiece: The Red Headed Stranger.

Siouxsie and the Banshees: "Juju"

Mon, 13 May 2024 12:00:00 +0000

WE'VE GOT BATS IN OUR BELFRY!!!!! Grey would be the colour if we only had a way to colour-coat episodes. It's Goth Month here on Pod Like a Hole, so get out your choker, get your eyeliner, and pick a safeword , we are covering Siouxsie and the Banshees and it is getting DARK.

It is Intern Eric's final pick of the season, and does he go out with a bang or a whimper? You be the judge. It's the 1980 record that brought Siouxsie to a new level of rock. Listen as your boys pick apart the ground breaking licks from John McGeouch, basslines from Steve Severin, and poundings from Budgie. And vamping up front, is the true queen of the dungeon, Siouxsie Sioux. Your hosts go into the history of the band, discuss at what point post-punk became goth, and how inspirational this band ended up being. Then its a track by track review of Juju.

It's a whole episode of pain and pleasure. The bitter and the sweet.

Enjoy.

Pod Like A Hole: Mastodon Part 3 - Emperor of Sand Track by Track

Mon, 29 Apr 2024 06:06:21 +0000

Pod Like A Hole: Mastodon Part 3 - Emperor of Sand Track by Track The hosts riff and theorize about the journey of the Wanderer as he goes toe to toe with the Sultan on Mastodon's 2017 release: Emperor of Sand. This is the 3rd and final Mastodon episode in this Pod Like A Hole mini season. The first episode covered their history, the second was a discography overview, and the third is EOS. Episode starts with news and recs, Mastodon talk starts about 25 minutes in. While the discussion of Mastodon ends here and moves to either Stevie, WIllie, Sousixe, or Robert in the final Pod Like a Hole Podcasts - they will forever be in the lifetime rock rotation.

Pod Like A Hole: Mastodon Part 2 - Discography Round Table

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 18:37:00 +0000

In what is one of my favorite talks this podcast has had, the hosts walk through the entire Mastodon discography - short of the track by track talk of Emperor of Sand and a Cold Dark Place that will be the bulk of the next episode. Starts with Call of the Mastodon, ends with Hushed and Grim. How many different ways can three 40ish Dads say "wow this album is great, oh and this album is also great" ? You will find out in this episode. Please do not turn this episode into a drinking game where you take a shot every time a comment is made on a great riff, or that you can't believe the drummer can sing that well, or that Brent Hinds is a special dude. You will go blind. *Editors note: Out of the four members we do not talk enough about what Bill Kelliher does to put this band over the top. That's what he gets for being the only one who doesn't hog the microphone but make no mistake, he's an all star riffer. This is episode 2 of a 3 part Mastodon Pod Like A Hole Mini Season.

Pod Like A Hole: Mastodon Part 1 - who are they and who influenced them.

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 12:27:00 +0000

Washing upon the beach of your shipwrecked life is another episode of Pod Like a Hole. The first of 3 episodes dedicated to the mighty Mastodon of the south.

Episode 1 (this episode) we cover the band's formation, the 4 members of this band, and the bulk of the discussion is the influences and peers that helped shape their sound. If you are a fan of ZZ Top, Thin Lizzy, Neurosis, Melvins, High on Fire, and even the Seattle scene of the 90s there is something here for you.

Episode 2 will be a gushing discussion of their discography at a macro level, and Episode 3 will be a track by tack review of Emperor of Sand at a micro level.

Fugazi - The Argument

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 14:04:06 +0000

Well the dust is still settling from the betrayal that was our System of a Down episode, and it is positively palpable in the air. However, this ravaged warground is the perfect location for the power of Fugazi's "The Argument". Steve, Marc, and Eric spin this 2001 album, discuss DC Hardcore, the Dischord Records scene, the Post-Hardcore genre having a current moment, and the history of Fugazi. Then your hosts dive in to the track-by-track review of this genre-transcending record. And after that experience your hosts are changed. What were once blood stained helmets are now small beanies on their heads. Hate in their hearts? Now compassion. There is only one reasonable next step here and elsewhere---ceasefire.

Pod Like A Hole -System Of A Down : Toxcity

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 12:08:10 +0000

We had to do a Nu Metal episode.

One hosts lived and breathed it during his teens, a real Jinco Wallet Chain nerd. Another host dabbled in the scene, sometimes to just check on his friend and make sure he wasn't too far gone. A third host was drafted into the No Limit army at the time and was too busy fighting on battles on the Sun Coasts and missed the entire movement back home.

In addition to discussing Toxcity track by track you'll find discussions on Miami Vice, Fargo, Iron Maiden, The Curse, Hed PE, Slipknot, Korn, RIck Rubin, and pizza.

Spoilers: this episode has one host give his lowest ranking ever.

Recs, Current Events, general music chat, and SOAD history in the first hour. Track by Track starts at the 1 hour mark.

The 2023 PLAH Holiday Special - Top 5 Animated Disney Movies

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 14:02:45 +0000

Join the Pod Like A Hole hosts back at the Xmas Cabin for our kind of annual Holiday Special. Marc has a love and knowledge of Disney that only is rivaled by his love of U2 and Steve knew it would be catnip to trick him into doing another holiday special. Eric keeps the fire stoked and earns his pay.

Enjoy the hosts of a certain age counting down their top 5 Animated Disney movies while you pack those last minute presents and to grandmother's house you go. We picked up the pace and knocked out 5 episodes for you in the last two months so that means we are going to take a few weeks off and be back with a one two punch of System of A Down followed by Fugazi.

Happy Holidays from PLAH.

The Clash: London Calling

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Your three hosts have reached the home stretch. The last handful of our favorite albums to review for our "Run the Gamut" season. Steve, Marc and Eric have all had excellent picks, weird ones, and every now and then, one of us shows up with a card up our sleeve. In this case, Eric is the Card Cheat, so to speak.

In this jam packed, bonus sized episode, we change our name to " Pod Em' Enough Rope " and give you the full run down of the Clash discography and its place in punk history, touch on the solo and side work of Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, and then give you the coveted track-by-track analysis of "London Calling". Does this record deserve it's spot on all the Top 100 lists? Is it truly a "must have" for music fans? Or is it a Cadillac oil stain on a supermarket parking lot? We will decide...but you can decide too (though we know our rights as hosts to be correct). Do you agree? Disagree? Who's your favorite Clash member? Do you Stan-dinista? Reach out and let us know.

Ok it's time to cut the crap, and enjoy this episode!

Florence And The Machine - Ceremonials

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 22:11:09 +0000

the Pod Like a Hole Hosts celebrate Florence and the Machines’ 2011 release: Ceremonials.

If you are one of our listeners who says “Pod Like a Hole, we appreciate the wide variety of artists you’ve discussed, but often I find it’s either too much obscurity, too many riffs, or too much testosterone. Can you please give me a mainstream act that isn’t a balding man?” Well, here you go. Steve pushed on the team a track-by-track discussion of Florence Welch and her Machine’s album that can also be used as a audition tape for Barstool sports. We are reaching across the aisle here.

Eric cries twice to one of these songs.

Tom Waits: Rain Dogs

Sat, 10 Jun 2023 03:08:49 +0000

You and your buddies flip your collars, as the rain pours down. You huddle under an awning as you finish your smokes.Life is good. You are young, independent, and ready for trouble. Then you head in to the bar. the joint. The dive. It's your home away from home. Speaking of home, the bartender tells you that the police department called, and your house is on fire. Then it occurs to you. You aren't young. You are 42. And then occurs to you that you've left your children home along to go drink...

That scene and so many more await you on the Pod Like A Hole track-by-track review of Tom Waits' 1985 classic. With still one foot in the boxcars, Tom Waits explores European avant-garde influences and the results...well you'll have to listen to Eric , Marc and Steve figure it all out. How will they rate this album? Is Rain Dogs an old dog, or a dead dog? How would you rate this one, gentle listeners.

Tom Waits: Waitstory

Wed, 31 May 2023 03:31:01 +0000

You find your self in an old boxcar bouncing over the railroad track with an old hobo howling in your ear. Tales of love and loss, old dogs and prostitutes. It's a cornucopia of creamed corn , but somewhere in that whiskey soaked word salad is the story of a man. A man who harnessed the sound of a junkyard, cobbled it into a beautiful sound and aimed it our hearts.

This is the story of Tom Waits, as only your boys at Pod Like a Hole can tell it. In anticipation of our track-by-track review of his classic album "Rain Dogs", Eric, Steve and Marc hop in that boxcar and take that California trip.

It is the second and final episode of our Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band mini season: track by track discussion of Darkness on the Edge of Town.

In the first installment we had an overview discussion of our history with E Street and their discog. In this episode we take a deeper dive into Bruce's 10 song long 1978 heart of darkness that contains many moments of joy as well.

How many sax solo samples can we get away with posting? How many of Bruce's album covers aren't terrible? What exactly is Bruce proving all night? Tune in and find out. RIP Big Man.

Peter Gabriel - ”So”

Thu, 02 Feb 2023 02:53:12 +0000

In 1986, an ex-prog rocker introduced himself to the pop landscape and blew the doors right off. Peter Gabriel, the suave art-rocker who was equal parts world music advocate, equal parts horndog-with-a-heart-of-gold, made an album so catchy, so honest, so unique that it captured the imaginations of music snobs and normies alike. That album was "So", and your Pod Like a Steam hosts are here to evaluate it, Sledgehammer-by-sledgehammer, hit by hit.

Play along at home, give this seminal record a spin, and join Marc, Eric and Steve as they spend a little time celebrating Peter's discography, time with the band Genesis, and score work before diving in to "So". It'll be a good time. You might get a little hot and bothered, but who could blame ya.

Also- Pod Like a Hole studios apparently is still infested by frogs ever since the Tool episode. Our apologies we are working on that.

Radiohead - Kid A

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 08:01:00 +0000

In this episode, Marc selects Radiohead’s album from 2000, Kid A to discuss with Eric and to mildly annoy Steve. We take a brief look at the band pre- and post-Kid A to determine when they decided to have Q*Bert, the lovable orange video game thing, join the band. Then, as always, we go track by track to determine just how icy and cold the band sounds on the record as it shows on the album cover.

Black Heart Procession: ”Amore De Tropico”

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 05:38:49 +0000

Crashing waves. The warbling of a saw in the distance. A suspicious waiter, and a dead lover. It’s 2002 and your hosts, Eric, Steve and Marc, don their magnifying glasses, Panama hats, and Tommy Bahama shirts. It’s a tropical musical mystery and your Pod Like a Hole hosts are asking the hard questions. Who were “The Black Heart Procession”? What was their hit album “Amore De Tropico” really about? Who is that strange man bellowing about frozen peas?! Your boys are on the case. Listen to the episode as we dissect each track of this haunting album, dusting for prints and removing the clues. We're sipping mai-tais, and breaking this case wide open.

Black Heart Procession - History

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 22:16:23 +0000

It's a cold November morning. A dead leaf does a dance in front of your feet as you walk through the breeze. You walk by a storefront, the newspaper headline is "Invasion of Afghanistan" another bitter reminder that the world is harsh. The only evidence you are still alive is the steam in air as you breath. But that steam is snuffed by the cold air. Cold like the ice in your heart. It's 2002 and you've just discovered Black Heart Procession, and all that pain gets a little better knowing this strange band, with it's saws and broken pianos, well they understand you. In the next main episode of Pod Like a Hole, your boys will time travel to when they first came together in their early 20s, and dissect Black Heart Procession's, "Amore De Tropico" . But not yet, no if being a broken hearted sadsack has taught you one thing, it's patience. No this week, we will dive into the history of Black Heart Procession, Pall Jenkins, Tobias Nathanial, Three Mile Pilot, early 00's indie rock, and the dying art of a good small club merch table. We hope you enjoy the journey.

Lateralus

Sat, 29 Oct 2022 19:16:40 +0000

In this episode, we peel back the layers of the 2001 Tool album, Lateralus. We attempt to separate our minds from our bodies as we overthink and overanalyze every track on the record. Does Marc and Steve’s feelings of nostalgia outweigh Eric’s skepticism? Or will there be a developing schism on the pod?

We discuss all things Tool (the band, not saws and hammers) and everything that orbits the band. Next episode we squee-gee our third eye open to analyze the 2001 album, Lateralus.

Until then, we hope this heaping helping of Tool talk tides you over.

Velvet Underground- ”Loaded”

Fri, 09 Sep 2022 01:21:04 +0000

Ride Into The Fun! That's right it's a new episode , and your Hole Boys (Eric, Steve, Marc) are dimming the lights, chomping on cigarette holders, turning on the lava lamps, painting some soup cans, rolling up their sleeves and numbing themselves with the proto-punk drone jams of the house band. None other than Velvet Underground. We cover their early Warhol-history, avant garde nightmares and softer 70s moods. Then it's on to the Track by Track of their final 1970 album "Loaded". Will they love it or will it be old hat? Only a listen will tell you for sure.

In this episode we continue around the table with 80's and 90's Black Sabbath Albums, the solo career of Ozzy (quite a bit of No More Tears love), as well as the solo efforts of Ronnie James Dio. This is Part 3 of our Black Sabbath mini season. In the first episode we reviewed the Dio era album Heaven and Hell track by track. In the second we covered the classic run of Sabbath Albums from the 70's and Dio's pre-Sabbath work. Come back next month for the Velvet Underground. #blacksabbath #dio #nomoretears #pantera #podlikeahole #podcast #doom #metal #cocaine #barkatthemoon #ozzfest #ozzy

In this episode we round table all the 70's Ozzy albums of Black Sabbath, Dio's pre-Sabbath years with Elf and Rainbow, as well as the Sabbath Heaven and Hell follow up with Dio: Mob Rules. We take some time to discuss the cast of characters that spun out of Sabbath's orbit in the 70s, but by the time we start talking about White Snake it becomes clear that's a whole podcast season unto itself. This is Part 2 of our Black Sabbath mini season. In the previous episode we reviewed the Dio era album Heaven and Hell track by track. Part 3 will round out our sabbath sessions with a look at Ozzy and Dio's solo careers, as well as those weird Sabbath albums with other singers. #blacksabbath #sabbathbloodysabbath #volume4 #sabotage #mobrules #masterofreality #podlikeahole #podcast #doom #metal #cocaine

Fad Gadget - ”Under the Flag”

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 06:06:40 +0000

The year is 1982 and Frank Tovey (aka Fad Gadget) releases the album "Under the Flag", a thematic record tackling the stress of raising a child in a world of increasing threats of fascism. We discuss the history of Fad Gadget and Frank Tovey and give this record the Track-by-Track treatment. It's an important record to electronic, industrial, and synth pop genres, and a milestone for co-host Eric. Will the others like it? Hate it? Dance? Cover themselves in shaving cream and feathers.....and more importantly, dear listener, WILL YOU? Listen and find out.

Beastie Boys - Paul’s Boutique

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 14:59:06 +0000

We conclude our Beastie Boy's conversation this week with a track by track review of Beastie Boy's 1989 album "Paul's Boutique". A highbrow analysis that even Prof. Booty would appreciate. It's a high flying adventure of egg throwing, wooing disco princesses and rump shaking. We dissect the many samples folded into the tapestry of Dust Brothers' beats. We pick our favorite boy. And there's even a taut medical drama halfway through. It's really all you could ask for in a podcast episode, more than any sane person would would ask for, to be honest.

Enjoy! What would YOU rank "Paul's Boutique?"

Hello B-boys, B-Grrrls and B-everyones.

Taking a trip to the lighter side, Eric has picked “Paul’s Boutique” by the Beastie Boys as our new album. Before we can delight you with a track-by-track review , it’s worth taking a quick and ridiculous trip through their history. So this is a little story about 3 bad boys you know so well. Eric, Steve and Marc take you through punk rock starting, Def Jam shenanigans, 70’s Cop mustaches and intergalactic robots.

Please enjoy, and let us know what you think.

The air is thick, the temps are rising, there is no doubt we are knee deep into the dog days of summer. And what better way to wind up this summer than with a track by track analysis of Run the Jewel's "RTJ4"(2020). We go through an abbreviated history of Killer Mike and El-P's solo and joint work before tackling this mammoth record. This album was an instant classic for the backpack and tunnel crew, but what do your Hole Runners think of it? Will Eric be inspired by the hard hitting lyrics? Will Steve lay out some cardboard and get to breakin'? Will Marc transform into a Hip Hop Head overnight? One must listen to find out!

B-Side: Definitive Jux Records

Thu, 05 Aug 2021 02:15:29 +0000

There are 4 Elements of Hip Hop. The mic, the turntable, the breakdance and the spray paint. There are also 4 elements to Pod Like a Hole. Marc, Eric, Steve and Ethan Hunt.

In celebration of our next proper episode, a track by track analysis of "Run the Jewels 4", 2 out of those 4 elements (Eric and Steve) present a very special B-Side. In this bonus episode we look at the solo careers of the Run the Jewels members: Killer Mike and El-P. Our focus remains zeroed in on El-P's record label (Def Jux) , where he released most of his solo albums and a slew of unbeatable , underground boom bap MCs. Def Jux meant more than Eric and Steve can explain to their own development as music fans, but they sure will try.

Rock your yankee to the side and enjoy the sludgy doom rap of Def Jux.

See you next time for "RTJ4"

Deftones - White Pony

Sun, 11 Jul 2021 18:56:51 +0000

To conclude our discussion on the Deftones, the hosts at Pod Like a Hole analyze White Pony track by track. The third album is considered the album that pushes the Deftones into a new level of the nu-metal category and arguably ejects them from the genre.

Join us as we saddle up the White Pony (with a respectful nod to the Black Stallion remixes) and ride through the dark backroads of this modern classic.

B-Side: "SackRock"

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 15:11:14 +0000

In the spirit of celebrating The Deftones , and in preparation of our official "White Pony" episode, we decided to give a little context to the music scene in Sacramento, especially during the late 90's early 00's. This will give some context to why that album was so special, geographically speaking.

In this episode we speak with local musician and Sacramento music scene stalwart Sean Bivins (Eightfourseven, Will Haven

Enjoy our conversation (and Steve's follow up with Joey from NYC coming soon) about this unique scene and a little context to the time and place before we drop our White Pony episode.

As always, we strive to answer the burning questions of the day. Do they shake off the label of being simply poster children for Nu Metal? Do they deserve a key to the city for their musical heroics?

Clipping.: Splendor and Misery Pt. 2

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 23:35:49 +0000

We are back to conclude our coverage of the industrial hip-hop group Clipping and their ambitious 2016 concept album "Splendor and Misery". Eric, Steve and Marc wrap this one up for you with a track-by-track analysis.

This album is the story of the relationship between an escaped slave from the future and the computer AI of the ship he commandeers. It explores the nature of freedom and the history of shackles.

Will Marc appreciate Daveed Diggs' spaced aged swagger?

Will Steve graffiti #2331's lyrics on the side of his neighbor's house?

Will Eric freestyle over the entire album instead of actually reviewing it, as a bit of a high concept Rick-roll?

You've got to listen to know for sure.

Clipping: Splendor and Misery Pt.1

Fri, 28 May 2021 05:25:02 +0000

For this season of Run the Gamut, we've got a few grimy, head bopping hip hop albums. Of course the diamond dice, in their infinite wisdom, have rolled one of the most unconventional boom bap records on this list. The experimental, concept story of Clipping's "Splendor and Misery" is a heavy one, but there's work to do before we get to that.

In this Introductory episode, your PLAHBoys go through their history of Hip Hop music. It's a fun L-train ride through the sights and sounds of hip hop in the 90s and 00's. Your hosts don't stray too far, as we wrap this up with the history of the group Clipping. We talk Daveed Diggs, Hamilton and Snipes & Hutson and the career of this strange Industrial/Hip Hop project. We'll follow this one up with a track by track analysis of "Splendor and Misery" next week. As always, enjoy the talk and let us know your hip hop history.

If you just got into town about an hour ago, took a look around to see which way the wind blow, you will know that the big boys from Pod Like a Hole are talking about The Doors sixth studio album from 1971 L.A. Woman.

Or jusa nudder loss angle? (I'm pretty sure that's what Mr. Mojo Risin is saying). Anyways, sit back, put this episode on at dusk, and look out at the endless highway while listening to three guys talk about Venice Beach Blues.

Murder City Devils: In Name and Blood

In this episode, your hosts take you to a dirty alleyway in the Pacific Northwest to find a bunch of young toughs sitting under a streetlight, howling at the moon with a half-drunk bottle of Rebel Yell being shared between them. Is it a minor league hockey team? Is that Mike Mills from R.E.M. with a cool denim vest with iron-on patches? Both of those assessments could be correct, as we talk about the great band from Seattle, The Murder City Devils, and their 2000 album, In Name and Blood.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Henry's Dream

Fri, 19 Feb 2021 02:51:44 +0000

In this episode, we conclude our Cave in A Hole series by discussing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds seventh studio album from 1992, Henry's Dream as nominated by Marc.

We discuss the details of the Dream of Henry (not to be confused with Sting's Dream of the Blue Turtles, that'll have to wait for Season 4: Adult Contempto like a Hole-oh) and find it not to be a nightmare at all. Well, unless you don't count what's going on with John Finn's wife.

As Marc likes to say, it's a rip roaring episode where a crafty troubadour spins a yarn around the campfire while a bubbling cauldron of Mulligan Stew is a brewin' designed to warm the soul and titillate the mind.

In this thrilling conclusion, the Pod Like a Hole zoo crew call upon the author to explain the rest of the history of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. We briefly discuss the rest of Nick's discography through The Boatman's Call to Ghosteen with a stop into Grinderman territory.

Next episode we finally get down to brass tacks and dissect and analyze Henry's Dream.

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 06:20:39 +0000

The Pod Like A Hole podcast has landed on an album that is so big we are going to give it the King Ink's treatment. Before the PLAH team dissects the 1992 release Henry's Dream, they are going to go through the timeline from the formation of the Birthday Party, through all of the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds releases, up to what Nick and the band are up to in the current day. We will briefly discuss the sound and the evolution of the band album by album, peppered with observations of various hair styles, cleanliness of undershirts, and how many books Nick wanted us to know he was reading.

We are joined by special guest and friend of the show, Cris Cleen for this first installment in this series we will be covering the chaotic and greasy rock years of 1979 up through 1996. Next episode we will push Cris out of the studio and put on our fancy scarves and sweaters to discuss the (not always so) chill and "mature" era of the band.

100th Episode! In this season we roll our diamond dice, and it directs to one of our favorite albums of all time. That's the great thing about this "Run the Gamut" season about Pod Like a Hole. This time we landed on the 1986 Goth-Rock classic "Floodland" by Sisters of Mercy. Being Eric's pick, he arrives to the showing in a duster with swinging chains and a shiny cane, ready to show Marc and Steve how those synth bass grooves and reverb guitar riffs can, in fact, get into your veins. Will Dr. Avalanche make an appearance? Will Marc ever get the stains out of his white linen suit? Most importantly, will Hard Rock-meister Steve feel the spirit of rock'n'roll through this Goth pastiche? If you care about these answers...well that's why you are here. Enjoy.

Season Two Finale - Part 2 of 2: Top Ten David Bowie Songs and Season 3 preview.

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 19:26:00 +0000

This is part 2 of a 2 part finale.

The hosts have some musings about what they learned over the last two or so years in discussing 27 David Bowie albums. That is followed by a a rousing discussion of their TOP TEN DAVID BOWIE SONGS. Spoilers: Eric tries to get too clever for his own good, Steve cheats, and Marc actually plays by the rules of a top ten list. The episode is capped off with the revelation of where this tin can will fly in season 3.

Thank you from the bottom of our black hearts for supporting this labor of love called Pod Like A Hole. We look forward to you joining us in what comes next.

Season Two Finale - Part 1 of 2: Top Ten David Bowie Albums

Sun, 06 Sep 2020 01:52:15 +0000

In the first of two wrap up episodes, the Pod Like a Hosts countdown and compare their ranking of all the David Bowie albums with a focus on the top ten. Followed by a brief essay question segment that Steve forced Eric and Marc to participate in. We considered dropping this as one giant 4 hour episode but why not milk the podcast feed a bit more and take another few weeks off. Saying goodbye is hard to do after all, as Marc will discuss with the audience when he has a moment during Blackstar.

If you're scrubbing to the end to see what season 3 is going to be all about, you're out of luck. We aren't going to share that info until next week in part two of the Finale - The Top Ten David Bowie Songs.

Thank you for listening.

Interview - Glenn Hendler (author of "Diamond Dogs" from the 33 1/3 Book Series)

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 23:31:38 +0000

For this little morsel, Steve and Eric interview Professor Glenn Hendler, author of the newest release in the 33 1/3 book series. This scholar's take on "Diamond Dogs" expands some minds and certainly adds to our previous dissection of the album. Listen, enjoy and buy his book! It's great!

A Space Poddity 27: "Heroes"

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 03:27:18 +0000

In this final episode of album analysis in the David Bowie cycle, we go out with a truly classic album, 1977's "Heroes." Marc, Steve, and Eric discuss if this album is the crown jewel of the Berlin trilogy, whether the avalanche of cover versions of the title track is worth sifting through, and if there's a hidden gem often overlooked found on this iconic record.

B-Side: "Lust for Life"

Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:37:35 +0000

In 1977, David Bowie and Iggy Pop could not stop releasing amazing music. Though this season of Pod Like a Hole has been focused on Bowie’s albums, it has become clear that his work producing Iggy Pop’s records is a critical part of this conversation. 1977’s “Lust for Life” is no exception. Follow your Bowie Boys as we discuss this piece of work, and its connections to “Trainspotting”, ocean liner cruises and Bowie’s “Tonight”. Also, Marc admits to a serious crime on this episode. He’s currently on the lam and we miss him dearly.

A Space Poddity 26: hours....

Sat, 01 Aug 2020 07:00:00 +0000

Are your eyes feeling heavy? Are your pjs nice and warm? Do you have a half-sipped mug of Sleepytime Tea? Are you sliding in and out of consciousness? You might be listening to David Bowie’s 1999 sleeper “hours…” …or you might have just had a NOMAD soul jump to and from your body. Mr. Bowie and loyal axeman Reeves Gabrels followed up their genre stretching , and rather well regarded, mid-90s work with music and performances in the adventure game: OMIKRON: The Nomad Soul, as well as on an album honoring the sleepiness of getting old.

BUT NEVER FEAR: Steven, Marc and Eric are three nomad souls jumping into the sleepy bodies of “hours” listeners and giving them a shot of adrenaline as we hilariously dissect this album, analyze each track and consider how it fits into his 90s work as well as sets up his next millennium of output.

A Space Poddity 25 : 1. Outside

Sat, 25 Jul 2020 07:00:00 +0000

How will you be celebrating the millennium? December 31st, 1999. Will you be screaming in fear, dancing your anxiety away, or preparing a blood tribute for a dark and ancient God? In 1995 David Bowie foretold this future, with the help of Brian Eno, Mike Garson and others. Have no fear, your Bowie Boys (Steve, Marc, Eric) listened to this strange, shimmering spectacle of Tomorrow, dissected it song by song, and are presenting it to the ritual stone. Who killed Baby Grace Bellew? Maybe you'll get your answers here. Maybe you'll only get so many more, horrible questions. One thing is for certain, we collectively butcher the correct pronunciation of a certain guitar player who most likely was a big fan of too many zippers on a pair of pants.

B-Side; 1999: The Future is "Outside"

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 07:00:00 +0000

In 1995, David Bowie & Co. released the album ‘Outside’. We will be discussing that in our next official episode. However, in the liner notes, song lyrics, and skits, David Bowie was clearly telling a complicated story. A murder mystery taking place in the oppressive future of 1999. He dubbed this story “The Nathan Adler Diaries: The Art-Murder of Baby Grace Blue - A non-linear Gothic hyper-cycle.” This would be too much to cover in our official episode, so just as he did in Season 1’s “Year Zero”, co-host Eric takes the wheel and delivers a summary of the (intentionally) complicated back story. This will fill in the gaps and get you the listener more prepared for our "Outside" analysis

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE:

Eric follows this up with an interview with long time friends of the show, The Wolgasts: Greg, Dan, Jamie, and even, briefly, Phiaus (aka Pulsar Glitch). Eric and the Wolgasts celebrate 90’s Bowie and discuss why this phase was unique for him. We discuss the legendary Outside Tour (with Nine Inch Nails) and, generally, how a group of kids discovered music in the 90s, in Arizona.

Enjoy the conversation.

A Space Poddity 24 : Earthling

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 07:00:00 +0000

1997. Slide into some oversized JNCO's. Chew on a pacifier necklace. We are HAPPY 2 B HARDCORE. But it's not just us. Lord Sir David Bowie himself was digging the techno beat and going on a Tarzan ride through the jungle (genre).

Listen to this raving, slamming episode where your Bowie Boys (Marc, Steve and Eric) analyze this interesting, oft-overlooked album. We talk about the history, do a track-by-track analysis, and discuss bonus songs, guest appearances and remixes (including the Season-One Throwback, NIN remixes of "I'm Afraid of Americans")

Wed, 24 Jun 2020 07:00:00 +0000

While the world was bumming out on Bowie in 1986, he had another plan. He would squeeze his rock star persona into a Jim Henson creation and become the Goblin King: all rock, crotch and charisma. That's right, your Bowie Boys (Eric, Steve and Marc) along with special guests Lennox Anderson and Chris Cook, are diving into Jim Henson's "Labyrinth". We discuss the history of the film, the lore, the songs and Bowie's shining performance. Enjoy, and if you don't get boxed up and filed by the Trash Lady, then you don't know what nostalgia is!

A Space Poddity 22 : Young Americans

Tue, 09 Jun 2020 07:00:00 +0000

It is spring 2020 and our world is rightfully experiencing some growing pains. There is fear and unrest and your Bowie Boys are right there with you. Not to distract or deviate from the matter at hand, but to merely offer a brief escape, let’s all take a little trip to 1975. As Bowie is enjoying his fame, he gathers a group of amazing Black musicians and record “Young Americans”. It stands somewhat alone in being the sole soul record in Bowie's career, but the keen-eared listener will hear some bits of his past and future. Let Steve, Marc and Eric fascinate you with our historical anecdotes, track-by-track analysis and what 4 out of 5 iTunes reviewers consider good conversation.

For those in the cheap seats that need to hear this again: BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Sun, 24 May 2020 07:00:00 +0000

It's 2003 and your Bowie Boys (Marc, Steven and Eric) are walking through the rubble of post-9/11 America and watching old men rock. That's right, it is time to discuss "Reality," the sleek, rock-forward follow-up to "Heathen". Listen to our opinions as we dive into this track-by-track. In addition, we blaze through the mash-ups, remixes, deleted songs and "Underworld" vamped-out versions.

Your co-hosts of Pod Like a Hole give Watchmen Vol. 3, Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: The Locusts the analysis they deserve. In addition, we dive in to a review of Volume 1 of (previous guest and NIN-affiliate) Rob Sheridan's comic book series "High Level." What do we think of these new releases? How do they rate with the other Ghosts albums? How do these albums pair with COVID lockdowns? Will Steve show up this time? You shall have all these answers, and more!

Sat, 02 May 2020 07:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Pod Like A Hole, your hosts throw on boardshorts, unbutton a tee and sip a couple bottles of Red Stripe. It's an island type of party as we dissect, analyze and generally sift through the history and each track of David Bowie's 1984 album Tonight. With the help of Tina Turner, UB40 and the calypso rhythm of a rogue marimba player, we give our final word on this album. If you follow us on the socials let us know what you think.

Fri, 24 Apr 2020 07:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we discuss the 1973 album, Aladdin Sane. Is there more to this album than just it's iconic album cover? Does Marc prefer listening to Disney's Aladdin soundtrack over this? Will Eric find a way to make a theory about aliens and the intersecting boundaries of capitalism? Does Steve nail a Mick Ronson guitar solo by vocal impressions alone? Did Mike Garson finally get the cat off his piano? All these burning questions will be answered and more.

Hijack Hijinx : David Bowie and the Metal Gear Solid Connection

Sat, 18 Apr 2020 07:00:00 +0000

Metal Gear?

As he is wont to do once per season, Steve has hi-jacked the show again. Last season it was Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy, this season it's Metal Gear. But at least he has a point this time: the Metal Gear game series has many ties to the David Bowie universe. From in game plot points, to Hideo Kojimi's very Bowie-esque approach to his art. Please join Steve and returning guest Joe Vierra as they give an overview on the series, how it ties to David Bowie and other pop culture, and it caps with a top 5 metal gear moments.

See you soon for Aladdin Sane.

B-Side : Raw Power

Fri, 10 Apr 2020 07:00:00 +0000

In 1973, just a few months ahead of the release of Bowie's Aladdin Sane, came the album by Iggy and The Stooges, Raw Power. This album has been cited as being one of the most influential punk records of all-time, so let's see if the hosts agree.

Fri, 03 Apr 2020 07:00:00 +0000

Your hosts come face to face with The Man Who Sold the World in another exciting chapter of A Space Poddity. We dissect David Bowie's third studio album released in 1970 by a track by track discussion and explore Bowie's hard rock wizard sound that lays the foundation he'll later build the house that Ziggy Stardust lives in. Of course, we discuss the resurgance of the title song made famous by Nirvana's unplugged cover.

So check in with all the madmen as we measure the width of a circle and compute the facts of the supermen into the saviour machine. After all, no need to get the running gun blues through the black country rocky terrain otherwise you could get shaken cold by the man who sold the world.

In a David Bowie season, what are the boys doing talking about the grunge pioneers from the 90's, you may be asking yourself. Well, the obvious answer to that is Nirvana's iconic cover of "The Man Who Sold the World" featured on MTV Unplugged was one of our early introductions to David Bowie in our formative teen years. We take this opportunity to run down our Top 5 favorite Nirvana songs because Steve willed it so.

A Space Poddity 15 : David Bowie (1967)

Fri, 14 Feb 2020 08:00:00 +0000

In this episode, your three loveable lads of lively conversation take you inside the Deram world of David Bowie's first self titled album, David Bowie, released in 1967. We take you lovely birds and cool cats into the swinging 60's where Bowie was finding his artistry by conversing with Laughing Gnomes, playing in Rubber Bands, begging to Gravediggers, borrowing comics from Uncle Arthur, and urging someone to buy his toys. Does Bowie ultimately succeed in becoming the next groovy sound from London or does he have to go back to the drawing board to figure this whole rock 'n roll thing out?

Fri, 07 Feb 2020 08:00:00 +0000

Last week, your Bowie Boys were joined by electronic music expert and Video Game Wizard Joe Vierra to discuss the seminal 1977 David Bowie masterpiece Low. The conversation was so robust that we had to split it into 2 episodes. So enjoy this, Low (Side 2) where we hear what Bowie, Eno and Tony Visconti were up to behind the scenes, Marc disappears on an underground mission, the team discusses the strange ambient side 2, the lasting impact of this album, as well as outtakes and remixes from this era. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

A Space Poddity 9.5: ...And the Spiders From Mars

Wed, 25 Sep 2019 07:00:00 +0000

"Now I've been told, that you've been bold, with Eric , Marc and Steve!"

Dear listeners, we left you on a cliffhanger last week. Steven barely broke Marc out of the mental hospital, Marc barely got his mind back, the team discussed the year of 1972 and did a track by track analysis of Bowie's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust".

Well they are back to continue the conversation with:

- All of the Bowie era bonus tracks and B-Sides

- The film: "Velvet Goldmine"

- A sampling of notable covers of the Ziggy songs

- Mott the Hoople

- and the nice little bow that we tie this gift up with: a track by track dive into Lou Reed's "Transformer" and discuss the important relationship between the two artists.

-And then we roll the dice to see what crazy album we fall in to next!

A Space Poddity 9: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust...(Part 1)

Wed, 18 Sep 2019 07:00:00 +0000

This week on Pod Like a Hole: A Space Poddity, the band is back together and diving deep into the all-time classic The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. In addition to giving the album the full track by track treatment, we discuss current events of 2019 and past events of 1972.

Eric gets to dig his mandibles into an album with an actual storyline, Steve thinks he might know what he's talking about despite popular opinion saying otherwise, and Marc is just happy to be eating solid foods again. This one covers quite a bit of ground, so strap in for a ride to Saul Starman's office.

But wait, there's more. Come back next week for the thrilling conclusion where we finish our discussion of Bowie's Ziggy era, fight some Decepticons with Lou Reed's Transformer, and we Mott the Hoople, if you get my drift.

A Space Poddity 8 : Tin Machine

Wed, 04 Sep 2019 07:00:00 +0000

You know. When we started this podcast, your cohosts Marc, Eric and Steve, set out with a simple purpose. To connect to people through their love of music via a jovial conversation, laying out the spoils of our various takes on the deep dive in discographies. They've been holding hands and traversing through the history of music in this season 2: David Bowie. All was going well. Best.Laid.Plans.

Cut to Shady Pines Mental Institue:

A nurse walks into a room. It is shadowed by the afternoon sun hitting the blinds just so. Three patients in the room don't notice. Their poor minds are gone. A serious trauma twisted their neurons into their emotions and blocked any further chance at experiencing the world in the same way. Marc is curled on the floor, hitting his head onto a wood block, repeatedly. Eric crying as he drops his spoonful of jello again, not getting a single bite into his mouth. Steven, humming madness as he tries to connect a lego to a duplo. The doctor approaches the nurse, sighs and shrugs, "What's all this then?" To which the nurse replied, "Tin Machine, doc. Those sweet boys never recovered from Tin Machine. It broke their minds."

Enjoy the maddening adventure in to the colossal assault on our dignity. Tin Machine.
