EP56: Lou Reed "Metal Music Machine, Pt.4"

RCA Records had to halt distribution of Metal Machine Music just weeks after its release in 1975, due to customer complaints about its cacophonous, atonal noise . It was so widely derided that it damaged Reed's reputation for years to come and it still sits firmly on many Worst Albums of All-Time lists. However, now with decades of hindsight and hundreds of experimental musicians inspired by his fearlessness behind us, its impact is undeniable. Traces of these structureless, rhythmless "songs" can be found in artists as far reaching as Sonic Youth, Einstürzende Neubauten, PiL, and William Basinski. But does that make it any good?

EP55: Miles Davis "Prelude (Part 1)"

Miles Davis is one of the most important and influential musicians in music history. He was an extremely talented trumpeter, bandleader and composer. He was at the forefront of the bebop, cool jazz, modal jazz, avant-garde jazz and fusion movements. He helped discover and develop massive talents including John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter. But what were Miles' contributions to "heavy?" What was heavy about his style, and his approach? What was sonically heavy about his music and what heavy artists did he influence across genres? We attempt to unpack it all.

EP54: Rush "Anthem"

Are Rush an incredibly talented, highly influential, prog-rock institution with decades of infectious adult-contemporary hard rock pop hits under their belts or self-indulgent, unlistenable obnoxious nerds?

EP53: Hawkwind "Motorhead"

UK Space Rock pioneers, Hawkwind formed in 1969 and as of April 2025 have released 37 studio albums. Most significant to this podcast are the three released from 1972-1975 (Dorm Fasol Latido, Hall of the Mountain Grill and Warrior on the Edge of Time) in that they all include one Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister on bass. Lemmy was kicked out of the band for amphetamine-fuled "erratic behavior" in 1975 but not before he penned one last song for the band, "Motorhead," which became the b-side to the "Kings of Speed" single. He would take that song to much larger significance with his next project but this episode explores what the man brought to Hawkwind and how their music in general fits into our on-going chronology of heavy.

Their high-energy boogie-pub-rock sound is so infectious that it transcends genre. Owing a significant debt to both the blues and Chuck Berry, but somehow wholly unique, they brought a hard-nosed, working-class sensibility, along with a wry sense of humor, to a hard-partying sound made them one of a kind and cemented them as the greatest hard rock band of all time. If you don't like AC/DC you have shite taste in music.
