  • Great subjects executed poorly

    I love some of the content, especially the Wire episodes, & I have no axe to grind with Rob Elba but his rambling, sometimes incoherent enunciation is infuriating. Stumbling over his words, using 17 words when one would suffice, not finishing sentences etc all make for annoyance. I can’t help thinking that his podcasts could be 50% shorter if presented by A.N. Other.

  • For us record geeks

    Lots of great insights and knowledgeable guests here! My only quibble is that the music samples are played at clip that’s faster than the originals.

    Without music, life would be a mistake and without TRGMH podcasts would be as well.

  • Devoted to the cause

    Thoroughly impressed with how devoted Rob Alba is in his mission to discuss vital albums of our times. It’s not easy to continue to do a weekly podcast, but he’s in it ~ for over six years. Kudos to Rob & TRGMH!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S9E484 - Jim Croce 'Photographs & Memories' with Luke Bob Robinson and Jasper Smith
Q: So we were like, what do we have in common? And I remember there was a late night in a dressing room where we were sitting around just like, we had a Bluetooth speaker and I had my guitar and we were just crushing some Jim Croce. So we were like, let's do that.
They both felt a strong shared connection to Jim Croce, which inspired them to choose his material together and arrange it for their a cappella format.
S9E483 - Herbie Hancock 'Chameleon' with Michael Hampton (Parliament-Funkadelic)
Q: How did Chameleon come together in the studio without a click track and still groove so tightly?

S9E480 - Television 'Marquee Moon' with Alan Zweig
Q: When did you first hear Marquee Moon, and how has your perception of it changed over time?

Q: How did Bert approach the production of Beach Bongo Bloodbath and what was the process like?
The producer-musician describes a long, multi-month process with a casual recording approach, layering percussion and experimenting with sounds to build the album over time rather than in a single session.

Q: What drew you to Hal Blaine's Psychedelic Percussion and this particular record?
Bert explains his fascination with the inventive use of percussion, the absence of guitar, and the way Hal Blaine's unconventional approach creates a unique sonic landscape.
