The Zero Check

We Said the Title of the Episode in the Episode. S6E01

The band's back together for our first recording since... November? WTF. Mike and his wife had a baby, Richard's been distracted by a lady, Craig's been in limbo, and Steve's been doing whatever he does. This episode, we discussed: * "Title of Record" by Filter * "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" by [The] Smashing Pumpkins * "Incredibad" by The Lonely Island * "Mud" by Whiskey Myers After finally discussing Mellon Collie, all bets are off on whether there'll be an S6E02. The universe might actually implode before we get to record it. We hope not, but who knows, right? Enjoy!

The Great Old Ones Compelled this Episode! S5E07

After some hiatus spurred by life events and such, we're getting back into things!  This episode, we discussed: * "Seven Crowns and Seven Seals" by Sulphur Aeon * "Streetcore" by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros * "Demon Days" by The Gorillaz * "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash" by The Pogues So, we're going to get the next one recorded, where we finally talk about the album with the song that inspired the name of this podcast! Come back when we get it live. Enjoy!

”The Taylor Episode” S5E6

I'm sure there are one or two people out in the world who have been patiently awaiting this episode! Delving into the pop icon that is Taylor Swift. Along with a few other notable albums. This episode, we discussed: * "Red (Taylor's Version)" by Taylor Swift * "Boston" by Boston * "Methodrone" by The Brian Jonestown Massacre * "Self-Titled" by The Presidents of the United States of America It took a bit more than a week to get this posted because Richard had to do some work travel, spending a week in Northern Ontario, and since returning, life has been busy the past week. But here it is! Pleased to say Richard's brother is on the path to a recovery and is getting the rehab support he needs. And equally pleased to say that Mike is still married! (Sorry ladies). And Taylor, if you listen to this, that was a joke about Richard being available to date you... he's off the market indefinitely. Besides, it sounds like things are going well for you with Mr. Kelce and we're very happy for you. Enjoy!

A Mixed Grab Bag of Goodies, Fit for CHFI 98.1 (S5E05)

We are pleased to say that we are caught up on our existing recorded backlog! This episode was recorded on September 11th, a day of great significance in our modern world. Fortunately, or unfortunately, none of the albums we discuss are of great historical importance. This episode, we discussed: * "Affirmation" by Savage Garden * "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" by M83 * "The Brown Album" by Primus * "Floodland" by The Sisters of Mercy We're scheduled to record our next episode Tuesday night, hopefully all goes well and we'll have that published within a week! And in happy news, Mike got married just over a week ago at a lovely ceremony and celebration! On a sadder note, if you listen to the very end of this episode, Richard makes a comment about getting a checkup if you have any health concerns. His older brother suffered a serious stroke the week before we recorded this episode, and while he's alive and beginning his long road to recovery, it came as a serious shock to his family. He's currently relearning to walk and has what's known as Broca's Aphasia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressive_aphasia]. It's really not a fun time. Be well, everyone

Jack Black is a Thespian, and Other Hits (S5E4)

We're on a roll, and almost out of recorded stuff to edit and post. But just you wait, we have some excellent albums this episode. This episode, we discussed: * "Tenatious D" by the same * "Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac * "Throwing Copper" by Live * "Now And Again" by The Grapes of Wrath We'll try and get the next one out maybe late this week, or mid-next week, depending on how Richard's week plays out, and then we have plans to record again next Tuesday. Soon, the trend of hearing things we recorded 6 months ago will end! Enjoy
