S2E56 – The B-52's – "Wild Planet" with Lisa Zomaro Apr 18, 2019

Show notes

A party out of bounds is what we've got on our hands, with B-52's super fan Lisa Zomaro (formerly Lisa PRL / currently Lisa Kitschy Cat) bringing us an album that was a thorough pleasure to listen to and talk about. Athens, GA's first New Wave musical export's second platter of seemingly innocent but driving dance tracks has a lot more under the surface (of the water) than a dip of your toe in the shallow end might indicate.

S2E55 – Bad Brains "I Against I" – with guest Camila Risso Apr 11, 2019

Show notes

Another lovely and intelligent young woman has made the possibly career-ending and personally catastrophic decision to join us on our show. Her choice of subject is the game-changing and seminal album by Washington, D.C.'s Bad Brains, "I Against I," the most successful album in the SST catalog. We cover a lot of ground, including the internal turmoil that drove the band and their album's musical and production nods to a much less punk rock ensemble. Thanks again Camila for lending your charm and insight to our show, and for choosing a great album for us to discuss. Support That Record Got me High on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH?

S2E54 – "Killing Joke" – Killing Joke w/John Mahoney Apr 04, 2019

Show notes

Barry's guitarist bandmate, long-time Killing Joke fanboy and synthesizer aficionado John Mahoney brings snacks, booze, and wit to our humble podcast. This week we cover the debut album that launched a thousand pounding, throbbing ships, but none quite as magnificent as the one holding the broken champagne bottle, Jaz Coleman's Killing Joke. Geordie Walker, Youth and Paul Ferguson complete the edifice, each adding a critical component to the nascent sound.

S2E53 – Smashing Pumpkins – "Gish" w/ Chris Bellus of Laser Wolf Mar 28, 2019

Show notes

The AWESOME Chris Bellus from Laser Wolf and Invasive Species brewing in Fort Lauderdale joins us to introduce Rob and Barry to his favorite album, the debut by Chicago's Smashing Pumpkins, "Gish." It's an album full of great textures and some sly nods to classic rock roots that might catch some listeners by surprise. https://invasivespeciesbrewing.com/# http://www.laserwolf.bar/home.html Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TRGMH Support Is This Tomorrow?: http://isthistomorrow.com

S2E52 – Alex Chilton – "Like Flies On Sherbert" w/Danny Gonzalez (Jacuzzi Boys) Mar 23, 2019

Show notes

The charming AND handsome Danny Gonzalez, bassist and voice of relative reason in Jacuzzi Boys, Miami's favorite trio of ne'er do wells, brings one of his picks to TRGMH for an hour of dissection and speculation. Like Flies On Sherbert has been issued a few times, with different track lineups, but we hit the one with the MOST tracks, and the one that got Danny's attention back in the mid-aughts. Drinks were had, just like during the making of this album. Support our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/TRGMH Support our long-suffering sponsor at http://isthistomorrow.com

S2E51 – The Velvet Underground & Nico with M.C. Kostek Mar 14, 2019

Show notes

Pull the handle on the time machine back 32 years and Barry is living in Stuart, Florida with one of the founders of the Velvet Underground Appreciation Society, Michael "M.C." Kostek. Mike is probably the ultimate authority on the Velvet Underground, and saw the Velvets twice in 1969 – before heading to Woodstock and interrupting Jimi Hendrix's set with his aggressive head nodding. The Velvet Underground & Nico is unquestionably one of the most influential albums in music, and we take a little extra time to give it some aggressive head nodding.

S2E50 – Minutemen – "Double Nickels on the Dime" Mar 06, 2019

Show notes

This 1984 double album by Minutemen was (and continues to be) a peak, at the zenith of what Alternative Rock in the US aspired to in the 1980s. Over 40 songs of introspective beat poetry and political observations set to a totally legit, funky, angular soundtrack by three 1976 graduates from San Pedro High School. Proposition: This is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Counter-argument: ??? Rob and Barry take their seats and get schooled by D, Mike and George.

S2E49 – WEEZER (The Blue Album) – with Erin Lee Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

Erin Lee from FM 104.3 The Shark picked this week's deluxe slab of wax, the debut album by Rivers Cuomo's pop science experiment Weezer. The conversation is lifted by Erin's deep love and knowledge of this band's history, and inevitably degraded by Rob and Barry's crude, coarse, low-class japes, asides and bogus conclusions. But that's the point of the show, right? Thanks Erin for being a great guest. We'll do better next time, I promise.

S1E48 – Jeff Buckley – "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk" w/Emile Blair Milgrim Feb 23, 2019

Show notes

We conclude our first season of 48 episodes with a visit from beloved local Emile Blair Milgrim, co-founder of Miami Girls Rock Camp, Managing Partner of Sweat Records, and drummer for Las Nubes amongst other "diversions." Her pick of Jeff Buckley's posthumous "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk" makes for great speculation – would'a could'a should'a.

S1E47 – Fucked Up – "David Comes To Life" Feb 14, 2019

Show notes

Fucked Up's opus "David Comes To Life" tells the story of a recurring character in their ouevre, the self-same David, and his relationship with Veronica (not from the Archie comics), her death, and the intercession of a narrator/puppeteer who feels remorse for what he's done. Rob loves it and drinks $200 rye, Barry has a tough time of it after a rough week and drinks vodka and orange juice.
