S3E106 - Black Sabbath "Mob Rules" - with Rick Sell Mar 28, 2020

Show notes

Rick Sell of Pure Salem Guitars brings us the "none more heavy" slab of post-Ozzy Black Sabbath, an album that changed his life, and their second outing with the magical presence of the diminutive Ronnie James Dio. The riffs come hard and fast (from the band as well) and there is some controversy about this and that. No blows were struck, or anything like that. Plus it's hard to hit someone over the telephone, isn't it? Support TRGMH on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH/

S3E105 - Sparks "Kimono My House" with Michael Cudahy Mar 21, 2020

Show notes

A very, very patient and understanding Michael "The Millionaire" Cudahy (Christmas, Combustible Edison) stands outside the primate enclosure and has a discussion with the occupants about one of his favorite albums by one of his favorite bands: Sparks' "Kimono My House." There are a few moments of howling, fruit flinging, and armpit scratching, but Michael seems to have a rapport with the beasts and the whole thing comes to a satisfying conclusion.

SE3E104 - Lou Reed "Transformer" - with Azalia Snail Mar 14, 2020

Show notes

Los Angeles calling, with long-time Lou Reed aficionado, booster, and scholar Azalia Snail. She keeps putting dimes in the pay phone to tell her story of Transformer, the 1972 album that made sure Lou would make the "history books," and her interaction with various characters portrayed within. Rob and Barry try and keep up, as usual, running like Yogi and Boo Boo against that two-second Hanna Barbera background loop. Support TRGMH on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH/

S2E103 - Iggy Pop "Lust For Life" with Joey Maya Mar 07, 2020

Show notes

Joey Maya suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, again, as we go to West Berlin in 1977 for Iggy Pop's tour-de-force masterpiece "Lust For Life." It's an album that got under all of our skin. His wry humor and dark subject matter still give you a strange sensation, make you want to peek out of your curtains. Recorded Live at The Laserwolf, with the ever gracious Chris Bellus providing the grease to loosen the screws at the back of the tongue. Let's take a ride.

S2E102 - Talking Heads "Remain In Light" with Tom Lawery Feb 29, 2020

Show notes

We find ourselves living in a shotgun shack, in another part of the world, with Tom Lawery, discussing the shocking vinyl disc that appeared on record store shelves in October, 1980. Rob and Barry get into it a couple of times, all because Minnie Mouse and Goofy can't keep their hands to themselves, your honor. Tom is knowledgeable, patient, and reasonable, which stands in stark contrast to the clown college rejects on the other two mics. (BTW It's a good one.)

S2E101 - The Saints "Prehistoric Sounds" - w/ Tom Smith Feb 22, 2020

Show notes

A voicemail from almost thirty years ago launches That Record Got Me High into orbit – to escape Earth's coming collision with a rogue planet – and to give Tom Smith the space he needs. He needs space, and time, to evangelize for one of those albums that you NEED to hear but haven't: Prehistoric Sounds, the third album by The Saints, who soon after were "Stranded" by their label, their looks, and their members' diverging interests. What happened? They were three years too early with the horns, the soul, and never gonna clean up for the camera. Get on board, the darkening sky portends disaster for those who don't.

S2E100 - Guided By Voices "Bee Thousand" - with Jeffrey Weaver Feb 15, 2020

Show notes

Recidivist / Habitual Offender Jeffrey Weaver calls in from his safe house in rural Massachusetts, to risk capture and 30 years to life in the big house discussing Bee Thousand, Guided By Voices 1994 low-fi treasure trove. A lot of people are saying, I'm hearing from a lot of people, that this is THE ONE, the GBV album to have if you've got to pick just one.

S2E99 - They Might Be Giants "Apollo 18" - with Adrian H. Morales Feb 08, 2020

Show notes

Adrian Morales, who has a great story to share apart from his passion for The Might Be Giants, takes us into the weird and wonderful universe of the two Johns: Flansburgh and Linnell. The two creatures pictured on the cover, despite ordinarily being mortal enemies in the natural world, are actually friends in real life, and share a passion for baking, philately, ballroom dancing, and model spacecraft.

S2E98 - Steel Pulse "True Democracy" with Camila Risso Feb 01, 2020

Show notes

Kingston via Birmingham via Miami via Camila Risso is how we get to That Record Got Me High's first foray into reggae, with Steel Pulse's "True Democracy." Driven by David Hinds' flawless vocals and a crack band, playing tracks with lots of rhythmic hiccups and turnarounds, it's a great headphone album as well as one to blast from your apartment window. Rob and Barry interrogate Camila about her reggae credentials, and she's got them. Support That Record Got Me High on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH/

S3E97 - Swervedriver "Mezcal Head" with Sam Fogarino of Interpol Jan 25, 2020

Show notes

Last week's guest becomes this week's subject in a clever sleight-of-hand made possible by Rob and his good friend Sam Fogarino, Interpol drummer of 20 years, Swervedriver fan – and musical collaborator with Adam Franklin. Mezcal Head is a euphoric masterpiece of guitar orchestration, melodic bliss, and flat out kick ass rock. If you haven't heard it, you should, and we'll try and convince you in our own "special" way.
