Episode 86: Beastie Boys Part 1 – The Young Eggplants Sep 18, 2019

Show notes

They're one of the most influential groups in the rap/hip-hop genre, but actually had their humble beginnings in punk and hardcore. The Beastie boys have taken advantage of every opportunity that's come their way and infused their own interests in every step along the way. In this week's episode, learn how exactly it was that these 3 Jewish punks boys from NYC learned about this up and coming MC lifestyle and hopped on board the train with some of the greats like Run DMC and LL Cool J. And while you're kickin' it, why not enjoy a Cookie Puss Milkshake IPA from Captain Lawrence Brewing to get yourself in the mood?

Episode 85: Enya – Leggo My Eggo Flow Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

This week we class it up with this New Age lady. Enya is best known around the world for her few singles to hit the Pure Moods compilations as well as her songs for The Lord of the Rings soundtrack. But we need to give her more credit than that, as she is the best selling solo artist in Ireland and has even given U2 a run for their money. All this despite the fact that she rarely gives interviews and doesn't tour, Enya just lets the music speak for itself. This episode we go through the events of her life that lead her to the level of fame she's reached today, and even manage to get some Irish history in the mix. We tried our best to keep it mature and classy for this episode, how do you think we faired? Well, the Euphoric Trip Sour NEIPA from Beer Tree Brew Co certainly wasn't helping, but the can matched the mood, so pick some up when you give it a listen!

Episode 84: Bassist Appreciation – Magic Fingers Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

This week we're taking some time to spotlight the member of the band that is frequently mocked and believed to be totally replaceable. That's right, we're talking about our friend, the bassist! We're covering just a few who we truly admire, talk about what sets them apart and how they've honed their craft to make their music legendary. You may think they just play a couple notes to backup the lead guitarist, or maybe you understand the skills they need to become truly great. But if you're the former, after listening to this, you should never scoff at a bassist again! And if you go get yourself a 6 pack of Funkengruven from Destihl Brewing to wash it down with, you may just never scoff again.

Episode 83: NOW That’s What I Call Music! Vol 3 – Pick N Mix Aug 28, 2019

Show notes

You loved it last time, so we're bringin' it back! This time we discuss the 20 year old pop compilation monstrosity, Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 3. From boy bands, to nu metal, to 90's smooth jams, we are covering it all. And also taking some liberties for the sake of our own sanity. The perfect way to close up the summer is with total self indulgence. For this episode we have indulged in our beverage choices a well, so feel free to partake in any of the following: Decadent Delight from Evil Twin and Decadent, Maple Stout from 14th Star Brewing Co, and Mexican Cake from Westbrook Brewing Co.

Episode 82: Grace Jones – The Complete Opposite of a Fat Orange Cat Aug 21, 2019

Show notes

This week we cover the story of the hypnotizing and talented Queen of all trades- Grace Jones. Her androgeny helped her modeling career, her voice and writing skills helped her music career, and her charisma helped her film career. She can and has done it all! Learn how her tough love childhood helped to shape her into the formidable woman that she is today. Through ups and downs, this woman has always managed to keep herself at the top of her game! And while you're listening, help yourself to a cool bottle of Keegan Ales Hurricane Kitty.

Episode 81: Robyn – She Made Her Own Rage Room Aug 14, 2019

Show notes

Today we are talking about an icon and a legend, Robyn. She came onto the scene in the 90's with a smooth pop hit song and when she was just about to reach the height of her fame, she walked away so she could pursue music the way she wanted. Little did she know when she first came out how much she would shape and mold the world of pop music as we know it. Always a trend setter, many have attempted to copy her musical stylings, only to come up a little short. But she has already given us so much in her discography in such a short amount of time, it makes sense that her story is an impressive one. So grab yourself a BaklaBot from Pipeworks Brewing company and you won't be dancing on your own through this episode!

Episode 80: Bad Country Babes – Truck Talk Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

This week we shake things up like the two main artists we talk about. Country music has always had some strict rules, especially when it came to the behavior of women. But we've had the pleasure of seeing some ladies not taking it and defying the standard set out for them. Like Loretta Lynn before them, both Dixie Chicks and Kacey Musgraves sing their truths no matter how many try to muffle their voices. And none of them are strangers to controversy, either, always taking the high road in their opinions on political and social matters. So why not grab a traveling companion in Connecticut Valley Brewing's Cross Country for a journey with these bad babes of country music!

Episode 79: One Hit Wonders- Ten CDs For A Penny Jul 31, 2019

Show notes

One hit wonders are the backbone of the world of music. They are random moments of good fortune for an artist who has been trying to make it into the music biz for what seems like forever. Some are content with their 15 minutes of fame while others bemoan the song that made them famous. This week we give you our top 10 one hit wonders and manage to mention at least double that in what we call "wonderception". Some you may love yourself and others you may have forgotten. So sit tight with a can of (a technical one hit wonder) Falco from Evil Twin Brewing to bask in these songs that helped shape music as we know it!

Episode 78: Oasis – Fired From The Carpet Store Jul 24, 2019

Show notes

Take a nostalgic ride with us back to the 90's when Britpop was king and Oasis was on the front lines to take the world by storm. They started out as a group of five guys who just wanted to make music and quickly escalated into a best-selling band around the world. But even more impressive than their music may be the in-fighting, especially by band leaders/brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher. The vitriol spat back and forth between them became the gems of tabloid stories. Take a tip from us and take the edge off these tense tales of rock n roll with a tall boy of Supernova from Half Full Brewing. Or a glass of champagne should do nicely as well!

Episode 77: Madonna Part 2 – Primetime Butts Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

We conclude the tale of total pop icon Madonna with her boom into the 90's that turned into her current presence in today's music scene. With more hot takes than we initially thought possible. Her movie career takes off, she finds love and family, and after her music career takes a turn for the mature, she ends up losing herself along the way with questionable decisions both in music and in life. But she is still as significant today as she was in the 80's, so she's doing something right. We suggest grabbing a can of Madonna from Zero Gravity Brewery while you take all this in.
