Episode 28: The Tie Rack Returns (Part 2) Jul 25, 2020

Show notes

It's the second instalment of our mammoth Tie Rack episode with friends of the pod Eddy Walsh (@eddy_walsh), Ross Stewart (@rausstewart) and Duncan Robertson (@knacknud) joining Paul and Lorenzo to make the final call on two more extremely difficult matchups.
The Gang of Five discuss four Foo Fighters tracks in this episode (Lonely As You vs The Sign + My Poor Brain vs Learn to Fly) and end up in several rabbit holes... if anyone is genuinely interested in a David Bazan podcast, maybe that's something we could look at if we ever get to the end of this podcast!

Episode 27: The Tie Rack Returns (Part 1) Jul 18, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, it's time for Paul and Lorenzo to make the final judgement on those matchups they could't quite agree on during the previous round... yes, it's the return of The Tie Rack. Of course, Paul and Lorenzo's opinions count for nothing so they have drafted in three of their friends to help make the call on what goes through.
Eddy Walsh, Ross Stewart and Duncan Robertson join the podcast to help sort out these tricky matchups.
This recording of Best of Foo lasted over four hours so it will be cut into three parts for easily-digestible chunks.
In this first part, the matchups are:
The Colour and the Shape vs The Last Song // All My Life vs I'll Stick Around // Walk vs Hell.
Huge thanks and love to @eddy_walsh, @rausstewart and @knacknud for their sparkling chat and great opinions.
More to come from those guys over the forthcoming two episodes.

It's another ALL BUSINESS episode as Paul and Lorenzo approach the end of this second qualifying round.

We'll say goodbye to some big tracks here but the main question is WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH WHITE LIMO?
This episode's matchups are:
Something From Nothing vs Seda // White Limo vs Walking a Line // Stacked Actors vs Oh, George // Exhausted vs For All the Cows.

Episode 23: I'll Pass The Monkey The Shiv Jun 20, 2020

Show notes

This is a strange and great episode.
Paul and Lorenzo are not happy about Krist Novoselic... who is? But this is a Foo Fighters podcast so in amongst discussing monkeys escaping from a lab, the utter pointlessness and futility of All Lives Matter people (have a word with yourselves) and suburban gardening, they do take the time to discuss eight FF songs with some big decisions to be made.
This episode's matchups are:
DOA vs Dear Rosemary // Arlandria vs Resolve // A Matter of Time vs Word Forward // Good Grief vs Burn Away.

A reminder: Black Lives Matter. Black Trans Lives Matter.

Episode 22: Down And Out Again Jun 13, 2020

Show notes

After falling into several rabbit holes in the previous episodes, Paul and Lorenzo do their best to focus on the matter in hand: continuing their quest to find the best Foo Fighters tune... they kind of stick to the plan but it wouldn't be an episode of this podcast without a few detours and another Ace of Base reference.
This episode's matchups:
Best of You vs Arrows // Winnebago vs Congregation // My Hero vs The Pretender // Lonely As You vs The Sign.
