That Awful Sound

Sadly, the show must not go on. I may be back in the future, and you can continue to hear me once a week on Minion Death Cult at miniondeathcult.com, but as of now the show is on hiatus. Thank you to everyone for listening and for supporting. If...

Welp, it's finally here. The episode where I let Cahn and Aimee yell at me about how good Dave Matthews Band is, while I yell at them about how insane these lyrics are. Seriously, folks, this episode is rotten with Dave Matthews' sexual scat and...

This week Shaina and Michael join me to revisit Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Californication," a mournfully chill song about how Californian culture is copulating with the rest of the world--to mixed results. How did Anthony Kiedis's "cleansing trip to...

Following in Kid Rock’s carpetbagging cowboy boot steps, Uncle Kracker released his debut album featuring this banal, confusingly confident single about: Heroin (duh you stupid idiot) Adultery Being Secretly Gay Being Openly Very Cool Also: a...

This week we revisit early 2000's metalcore, and then flash-forward 6 years to when it got extremely bad, with Eighteen Visions' "Victim." We discuss the band's transformation over their career, from interesting and good to opening for Hinder. Music...

This week Leigh joins me to talk about not being allowed to listen to Alanis, not wanting to shave her armpits, and a song we both still kind of like: Paula Cole's "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? We go over the amazingly misinterpreted lyrics of...

Welcome back to the show! This week we're returning to mid-00's radio demo with Dashboard Confessional and Spider-Man 2. We cover the history of this song, including the fact that it was written in 10 minutes by an inspired Chris Carraba after a...
