Lunchtime Minisode #2 - Thanksgiving Special

Hey Team-Get’cha cornbread ready, Marty and Kris are back with a
Thanksgiving-themed minisode! We kick it off by taking an
opportunity to frame the episode for those out there that might
not be familiar with the lunchtime format (2:45) then get
straight into it-Kris introduces the minisode theme (6:43) Shout
out to our listener(s) in Bosnia (10:14), and a brief breakdown
of what a “Turkey” really is within the context of the episode
(11:52). Next, we finally put the Spin Doctors conversation to
rest with a scathing review of their second album, “Turn upside
down” (12:05), which transitions into Marty and Kris reminiscing
on simpler times when moshing and crowdsurfing was the norm at
any show you went to, regardless of genre (14:57) and Marty
shouts out Bogarts in Cincinnati, Ohio, a rock club Marty used to
frequent (15:18), Ordering subs over talk about Nas and Mobb Deep
(17:39), Kris continues the conversation with depleted great
artists (25:17), Lou Reed’s misunderstood masterpiece “Metal
Machine Music” (30:08) and the trend of artists making bad albums
nearly on purpose to get out of their record contract, using Van
Morrison’s album “The Bang Sessions” (32:15). Moving on, we
revisit the depleted artist theory by breaking down the Chris
Cornell/Timbaland collaboration (40:35), Neil Young’s
unintentional Vaporwave swan song, “Trans” (42:38), The “worst
album you’ve heard 100 times”, U2’s “Pop” (45:24), Rush’s 4 album
“dork age” into heavy synths, (46:49) A conversation Marty used
to have with an old roommate and how it pertains to The Roots
masterpiece “Things Fall Apart” (50:52) and Kris’s take on a
band’s sound becoming fully realized, where and how that happens
(52:39). After the lunctime episode is complete, Marty and Kris
come back with a recap (1:03:05) and Marty clears up some
confusion regarding Nas’ first two albums, “Illmatic” and “It was
written”. (1:03:44). Get your fill on stuffing early and press
play for the Turkey(s)!
