Shout out to Return to the Pit for capturing photos of the Shadows Fall/Terror/Zao show in Portland, ME back in 2005

In our 116th episode, we dig into 3 classic albums that turn 20 years old this year. Time travel back to 2002 with us. An era before streaming and a time when CDs still dominated.

We give Red Hot Chili Pepper’s ‘By the Way,’ Eminem’s ‘The Eminem Show,’ and Box Car Racer’s ‘S/T’ the Podioslave treatment this week. Talk about 3 albums that run the gamut sonically, lyrically, and kings of their respective genres.

We dig into the lead up to the record, the departure of 2 founding members and subsequent addition of Fred Mascherino and Matt Rubano, dealing with expectations, the writing and production, the release and response, and so much more.

This episode is everything we had in mind when we started this podcast — deep dive music nerdery at its finest. Other topics include Scooter Braun selling Taylor Swift’s masters for $300 million and Ticketmaster requiring a vaccine/negative to enter concerts.

Episode 26 is a special one for us, as the 3 of us are recording from the same location for the first time since the pod started. Nate is back visiting the east coast, so we take full advantage of it. For the main segment we dig into 25 years of Nate’s music nerdery collection (merch, promo items, posters, autographs, etc). We’re talking two 35 gallon bins filled with the most obscure and rare music nerdery. We blindly pull items from the bins and react to them. Other setlist items include: Papa roach live streaming their album recording process - good idea or no? — and a reaction to an NPR article about the inevitable corporate takeover of independent music venues.

In episode 190 of the podcast, we’re joined by friend of the podcast and vocalist of Trawl, Sean M., to discuss another all time album: Finch - What It Is To Burn.

We discuss the lead up and roll out of the album, our early memories of the music, how it hit us in the moment and how it continues to be an album the three of us revisit to this day. The album continues to be a staple in our music experience, and we’re still here for it.

We start the episode with a new twist on our theme music. We sent it to Sean and the boys in Trawl and asked them to turn it into a real piece of music: drums, guitar and bass plugged in. They did not disappoint! We’re excited to debut this new piece of Nerdery, and couldn’t be happier with what they came up with. Thank you TRAWL!

In episode 149 of the podcast, we take a trip to 2033. We attempt to predict where the music industry will be under three major pillars: Artificial Intelligence, Venues, and Collectibles. 

What does the emergence of AI musicians mean for authenticity? Are you ready to pay $500 for nosebleed seats, even if it’s kinda worth it? What will happen to the vinyl/collectible landscape as resources dwindle?

In our 90th episode, we play a game of musical “Would You Rather”. Would you rather own a vinyl production plant, or a record store? Would you rather 80’s bands only play 90’s music…..or the other way around? Would you rather Chino Moreno continue with Deftones….or RATM put out a new album? We discuss these and more! The pod begins with a conversation about Adele, and her downright takeover of the music business. Between monopolizing vinyl plants and getting Spotify to change their product…..it’s been a busy couple weeks for her. All hail Queen Adele!
