S3E143 - The Clash "London Calling" with Tom Lawery Nov 28, 2020

Show notes

Is "London Calling" by The Clash the greatest rock-and-roll record ever recorded? Barry and Rob certainly make the case for its consideration, and luckily they are joined by super-Patron Tom Lawery who brought both the knowledge AND passion for this remarkably expansive tour de force. "London Calling, yes, I was there too. And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!" Support That Record Got Me High: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH/

S3E142 - The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Axis: Bold as Love - w/Terry James Graham Nov 21, 2020

Show notes

The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Axis: Bold as Love This week's guest, drummer, author and clothing designer Terry James Graham (The Gun Club, The Bags, The Cramps) dug deep into his rock-n-roll past to discuss a record that got him blissfully and endlessly high, "Axis: Bold as Love" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. After the success of his mind-blowing debut, Jimi Hendrix – along with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell - returned a mere 7 months later with a more eclectic, sophisticated outing that showcased his growth as a songwriter and musical visionary. It was a great conversation, and the three of us did our utmost best to do this musical work of art justice AND wave our freak flags high!

S3E141 - Divine "My First Album" - w/Bobbie Jo Nov 14, 2020

Show notes

Bobbie Jo returns to our show with Divine's "My First Album," a collection of outrageous, outrageously danceable tracks, which accompanied Divine's move from feature film stardom (Pink Flamingos, Polyester, Female Trouble, Multiple Maniacs) to club performer. They're just as much fun, and just as wild as the celluloid performances, so join Barry and Bobbie Jo as they gush over this amazing person and performer. Andy Ruffner from the World AIDS Museum joins us to introduce the official kick-off to World AIDS DAY on December 1, 2020 hosted by The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale.

S3E140 - Jethro Tull "Stand Up" - w/Dave Mandl Nov 07, 2020

Show notes

This week's guest – writer, musician, DJ and lifelong Brooklynite Dave Mandl – got a five-year head start on TRGMH with the mighty Tull, thanks to his older sister. Aqualung was first, of course, but this is the one that really flipped the card table for him. It's the album that provides the template for a lot of what Ian Anderson and cohorts would accomplish in the years to come, with great compositions, musicianship, and the singular Mr. Anderson.

S3E139 - The Chills "Submarine Bells" - with Marc Masters Oct 31, 2020

Show notes

The Chills, "Submarine Bells" with special guest Marc Masters When he's not obsessively watching the Nationals play, and tweeting about pulling pitchers too soon, this week's guest music writer Marc Masters (Pitchfork, The Wire, Bandcamp Daily) listens to music – and a lot of it. For his 2nd appearance on TRGMH, Marc makes the case for New Zealand pop-meisters The Chills and their 1990 should'a been smash "Submarine Bells". It's a strong case. Batter up!

S3E138 - The Fall "The Unutterable" with Jeffrey Weaver Oct 24, 2020

Show notes

This week That Record Got Me High welcomes back Jeffrey Weaver, who is neither a weaver nor a cod piece, which is what Jeffrey means, according to the Borgesian halls of the internet. They say it means "God peace," but since it's a Fall record we are doing, that cannot stand unaltered, unchallenged. The Unutterable, you say? Yes, we are that, which cannot be named thought spoken felt or comprehended. We are going to the year 2000, to visit a Mark E. Smith with a Lovecraft-ian bent, a sinister bend, and at an apparent personal crossroads. Who would think that at a career midpoint, a place of commercial foundering, distinctly lessened popularity, the least-sold record in your catalog would turn out to be such a strange and beguiling document. It was an excellent choice by Codpiece/Godpeace Sans Loom, if that is even his real name, or if he is even human at all. All we have is a voice at the end of the line and some strange unexplained Cthulu-esque breathing sounds. This week: The Fall, The Unutterable. Next week: your favorite hamburger casserole recipes.

S3E137 - Bauhaus "4AD EP" with Richard Vergez Oct 17, 2020

Show notes

Bauhaus 4AD with Richard Vergez When visual and sound artist – and returning guest – Richard Vergez discovered the 4AD EP as a young art student it opened up a brand new world of dark, expressive sound for him. We went heavy on the black eyeliner and dove deep into this collection of early singles by Northampton Goth pioneers Bauhaus to unearth the poetic beauty buried just beneath the ruckus.

S3E5150 - Remembering Eddie Van Halen - with Juan Montoya Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

We sat down with previous TRGMH guest, guitarist Juan Montoya (Moon Destroys, MonstrO, Torche…), to reflect on the music and legacy of Eddie Van Halen. Whether you are a super-fan or just casually acquainted with Van Halen's music, the influence he had on guitar players and rock music in general for the past 40+ years cannot be overstated. R.I.P. E.V.H!

S3E136 - Stereolab "Emperor Tomato Ketchup" - w/Nate Levine Oct 10, 2020

Show notes

This week's patient brought in for an examination is Stereolab's 1996 Emperor Tomato Ketchup. Local "Boys Giant" 'zine maven Nate Levine first heard the album while living with a model in Barcelona. Barry first heard it while living in Athens, GA. Rob isn't sure when he first, or last heard it. That theme is explored in a somewhat "special-grape-juice-soaked" visit with Dr. Benway and his alligator bag.
