Wine ‘em, Dine ‘em, 69 ‘em | feat. Bryan Adams, Ministry, The Stooges + more

Episode 069: We’re leaning into the double entendre for this milestone episode, exploring the number 69 in all its forms—from the historic reverberations of the year 1969 to the explicitly suggestive and the just plain cheeky. We kick things off with Bryan Adams’ nostalgia-soaked anthem before diving headfirst into the industrial, apocalyptic crunch of Ministry. We then take a turn for the sultry with the iconic Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, pivot to the sharp, modern wit of Self Esteem, and drift into the haunting, electronic nostalgia of Boards of Canada. We close out the set by letting The Stooges raw-dog the airwaves with a track that reminds us exactly why 69 has always been a number worth getting dirty for. It’s a six-track exploration of history, desire, and pure sonic friction.   Apple Podcasts [http://apple.co/3NowdzB] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/sixpicksmusicclub/] Spotify Playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ca7qYTVKMyHbLMoeJMfx3?si=59f63b4b46c44093&pt=32ceb4a0d212d8816a3c0cd4e2282e17] Official Site [https://sixpicksmusic.club/]

For the Ladies | feat. Bikini Kill, The SoapGirls, Cibo Matto + more

Episode 068: We’re finally handing the aux cord over to the women who actually know how to use it—no dudes, no filler, just pure energy. This episode, we’re tracing the lineage of noise from the riot grrrl foundations of Bikini Kill to the unapologetic, loud-as-hell provocations of The SoapGirls, stopping along the way for the viral punk energy of The Linda Lindas and the bratty, technical precision of VIAL. We even take a detour into the cinematic trip-hop weirdness of Cibo Matto before letting Mitski deliver a masterclass in controlled songwriting chaos. It’s a six-track deep dive into the distortion, grit, and melody that prove "playing like a girl" is a threat, not a descriptor.   Apple Podcasts [http://apple.co/3NowdzB] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/sixpicksmusicclub/] Spotify Playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/295QmOrWL2mJnhqGr0EmaV?si=fca51db3f83d4e8b] Official Site [https://sixpicksmusic.club/]

No News is Good News | feat. Public Enemy, Bad Religion, Gorillaz + more

Episode 067: The 24-hour news cycle is spinning faster than a scratched 45, and this week on Six Picks Music Club, Geoff, Russ, and Dave are feeling the vertigo. We’re putting down the remote and picking up the needle to discuss how the media is failing us—turning information into infotainment and reality into a ratings game. From the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality to the era of alternative facts, the guys look for the truth hidden between the headlines. The playlist is a front-page spread of sonic skepticism, kicking off with the legendary Gil Scott-Heron reminding us that the real movement happens in the streets, not on the screen. Hüsker Dü provides the frantic energy of a world obsessed with the broadcast, while Public Enemy delivers a scathing "letter" to the tabloids and Bad Religion offers battle-weary reflections from the front lines. Between the cynical satire of Gorillaz and the surreal parody of "Weird Al" Yankovic, it’s an episode for the skeptics, the truth-seekers, and anyone who’s ever wanted to throw their television out the window—just make sure you keep your speakers on.     Apple Podcasts [http://apple.co/3NowdzB] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/sixpicksmusicclub/] Spotify Playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0nKDOyhtISOHHNjFTUUyu0?si=b758fe64e72345f5&pt=cd06dc28af884113809e867f30aaba55] Official Site [https://sixpicksmusic.club/]
