  1. Prince would be so excellent. Such a long career with such a deep catalog. 1st LP "For You" sounds inexplicably like Yellow Magic Orchestra. 3 years later he puts out "Dirty Mind" featuring a 1.5 min punky new wave song portraying incest as "hot." HAVE NOT EVEN GOTTEN TO PURPLE RAIN. Also more humor than you'd expect given his image. "I'm the Bone Ranger?" That's funny!


  2. It’s very hard for me to separate out what I find interesting and like musically vs what I think would make a good Scott and Scott podcast.  I do not have the objective ability to focus strictly on the latter.  (I would like Scott and Scott to make a podcast about all of my favorite songs from all of my favorite bands.)

    That said they manage to pick these mega-popular relatable bands and focus on their personal connections that sometimes brings obscure fandom into the mix.  This is what I like the most given that I still don’t like either of these bands.  (The podcast taught me that the very earliest REM material overlaps with what I like musically.)  

    Michael Bradley (the Undertones)’s book doesn’t have an index so I can’t look this up exactly but they are a KILLER Irish punk band (1 LP blows the U2 catalog away) and at one point very early on he meets Bono and they have a brief conversation about fame in which the author basically says “What?  Don’t care” and Bono says “I want it more than anything in the world.”

    As much as I love the underdog it made me think there is something to be said for putting it out there and aiming for success.  Real talk.

    Protex are at least as amazing, I didn’t hear them until around a decade ago when Sing Sing Records released an LP they recorded in the late 70s.  They still tour and often hit the States and KILL IT every time.

    So I like the obscurities, especially the ones that are as good or better than the famous stuff.  I just want more personal stories.  Scott (co-host) putting headphones on people is an absolute highlight.  I strongly believe Scott (co-host) has some deep ska roots in the late 80s, early 90s.  When Nick Welsh went over with Buster Bloodvessel to have Donkey Show be part of the backing band for Busters All Stars - I want every detail that can be recalled about this event - in a podcast made exclusively for me.

    In a potentially less alienating sense I’d like a slight swing towards the more personal and obscure.  Experiences at early shows, any local bands - audiences may not know the exact references but it can still be relatable.


  3. This is beyond excellent. It has been a shit ass week and seeing this start to download was a very pleasant surprise.

     

    I really enjoyed the stories of growing up and how you heard things at the time - 10 in 1980 and getting FM, amazing. I was 4 in 1979 and can remember "My Sharona" on AM radio -- mom leaving the blue 76 station wagon in the driveway the extra minutes to hear the whole song.

     

    Adam pronouncing "Pass the Dutchie" as "doochie" was also amazing.

  4. Love the show. Nearing #1 and still an hour left? “Yes!”

     

    Possible changes?! Inappropriate amount of fear in my heart.

     

    My sincerest thanks for all the hard work that goes into this podcast that brings me very sincere joy on a consistent basis.


  5. I'd listen to an REM podcast but I'd listen to pretty much any Scott and Scott podcast. I feel like the question was "REM: yes or no" and not a call for brainstorming but as someone who doesn't care about REM something a little wider like early shows / concerts you went to, how you got into certain bands, stuff you liked a long time ago and whether or not it holds up now, or just a general music podcast that offers an opportunity to occasionally talk about weirder or more obscure stuff would be sweet for me personally, which is the podcast I would like hear - one that is made for me personally. Thank you!

  6. I feel like there was a thread like this that I can no longer find.

     

    I'm old and slow and only recently started watching It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

     

    The whole show is great but Danny DeVito straight kills it. Has been in legendary comedy content for 5 decades and is still edgy and awesome. I would so like to see him as a guest on CBB that I've gone so far as to create a thread about it.

     

    Join me in support or post your own dream guests. Or link me to a more appropriate location to share my opinions.

     

    Thanks!


  7. total bummer dude.

     

    Cake Boss takes me back to when I first heard CBB. And was so enamored with the character I tried to sit through multiple episodes of the TLC programme.
