What could have been a great podcast is ruined for me by childish and offensive ‘humour’.
The short tweet review of this show would be ‘alleged professional musicians take their pent up rage & jealousy over being utterly unknown out on musicians who have made it by talking rubbish about said artists music (except Kid Rock, he deserves it!). Oh, and stop mentioning Phish, nobody cares
The hosts really do seem to know their music. I love the variety of albums they review, the hosts have a good natured personality, and the podcast is professionally produced ( no extraneous noise, no eating while on mike, no static at all). This is pretty good stuff, something nice to lsiten to while working.
Lighthearted and entertaining album reviews from guys who appear to enjoy music.
If you find the “whine and cheese” comment at the start of the John Meyer’s Continuum episode funny, you’ll probably enjoy it.
I thought the title was irony. Turns out that it actually is a lot of complaining without the analysis to back it up.
