Podioslave Podcast

In our 47th episode, we re-visit a few albums that, when they came out, either missed with the fans, received unfavorable reviews from critics, or both. Albums of focus for this segment are: New Found Glory - Coming Home, Jay-Z - Kingdom Come, and Weezer - Pinkerton. If you’ve heard these albums, you’re probably familiar with the public’s mixed perception of them.

In our 46th episode, we’re joined by Brendan Garrone, vocalist of Incendiary, to take a 25 year look back at the music to come out of Long Island, NY. The 3 of us at Podioslave are fascinated by the region and the music to come out of it - including Crime in Stereo, Vision of Disorder, Glassjaw, Silent Majority, Taking Back Sunday, The Movielife, and of course, Incendiary among many many others. We talk the early days, life on the island, and the explosion of bands. Pound for pound, the Long Island scene is one of our favorites.

In our 43rd episode, the pod tackles the ‘Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad’ segment — where we deep dive into legacy bands that we feel only had two great albums in a row.

The Podioslave Podcast is officially over the hill! In our 40th episode, we bring back the wheel. This time around, we populated the wheel with years ranging from 2001 through 2019 — whatever year the wheel lands on, we each pick a concert we attended that year and re-live the magic. In the year of Covid, we’re forced to reminisce about the good old days of live music. A few spoilers: Bruce Springsteen, Bonnaroo, Thursday/Poison the Well, Mastodon/Clutch, U2, and many more. We also discuss Bon Dylan selling his catalog for $300 million and K.Flay’s new cover EP (90s covers? We’re in!). (In this episode: (0:00) Podcast and episode intro (4:40) Reactions to Bob Dylan selling his catalog and K.Flay’s cover EP. (17:49) Main segment starts: The Wheel of Concerts!)

In our 38th episode, we start a new Thanksgiving holiday tradition here at the Podioslave Podcast.......Nerducken. The premise is that we pit two like bands against each other and each defend our case for which we prefer. The guidelines being: the band you pick stays around, while the other band’s catalog disappears off the face of the planet. This is the music nerd version of arguing with your family at Thanksgiving dinner. Nirvana or Pearl Jam? The Smiths or The Cure? Listen and find out! We also discuss the recent news of the Bull Moose Music Portland, ME location closing its doors at the end of the month. We’ve collectively spent hundreds, maybe even thousands, of hours crate digging in the Portland location over the last 20 years. This is a real example of the implications of Covid hitting home. (In this episode: (0:00) Episode intro and a reaction to Bull Moose Music Portland, ME location closing its doors. (11:37) Main segment starts: Nerducken - Nerd Arguments at the Thanksgiving Table.)
