  1. I 100% thought the Adult Swim show was called Joe Arpaio Talks With You and I was so confused.

     

    I know he's based in New York, but I would love to hear Joe Pera on CBB. He's one of the funniest dudes out there.

     

    This episode, despite a distinct lack of Joe Pera, was very good. Everyone was great. #MeToo got moist.


  2. Wowee this band is awful. I love how Scott compares this record to the White Album, like, "The White Album was weird too!" Yeah, I guess, but the White Album is considered a timeless masterpiece and this is a pile of flaming garbage.

     

    Anyway, great ep as always! Hope you feel better, Scott -- sounds like you have the sniffles!


  3. I'm behind and haven't listened to this one yet, but I just finished last week's and it's so great to hear the Howie/Natty Leggs dynamic again. Natasha is a great sidekick because she's super funny herself, obviously, but she also had the best laugh in the business and it makes Howard's crazy shit even better.

     

    It also reminds me a lot of The Lavender Hour, may it rest in peace. I'm sure Natasha has plenty on her plate and isn't trying to do a weekly podcast right now, but it's great when she can stop by.

     

    She also mentioned last week that Cardi B should be a guest on Who Charted, and I agree -- having musicians talk about the charts (and music in general) with Howard and Brett seems like a no brainer. Not a bad idea!

     

    Okay, that's all. Enjoyed the show as always. Thank you, Michael Motorcycle.

  4. Am I the only human being in the world who really likes October...?

     

    Nah, October's good. It's not their best, but it's certainly miles above everything they've done in the last 20 years.

     

    I appreciate that they made it 40 minutes before REM was brought up this time. Maybe at a certain point they'll just forget to talk about this stupid band?

     

    Just kidding! It's worth the REM talk if for no other reason than to hear Scott try to articulate something only to have Scott get impatient and cut him off. It makes me laugh every time.


  5. I love these guys, but does anyone else feel like the Scotts sound like they have maybe never heard music before? They were both talking about how brilliant R.E.M. were for using AABABCB, arguably the most common song structure there is? And, "On most albums, by seven songs in the band is out of ideas"? And were they implying that R.E.M.'s b-side cover of "There She Goes Again" popularized The Velvet Underground? I'm pretty sure "Sweet Jane" has been in pretty steady radio rotation since 1970.

     

    Anyway, great ep. This is great, uhh, podcast.

  6. That "Rock" chart was truly awful. Agee's right -- there were hardly any audible guitars in any of those songs. And those songs were terrible! There was a lot of great rock music this year -- Palm, Posse, Priests... and that's just the P's!

     

    Anyway, those are Young Kyleidoscope's Hot Picks.


  7. I'm in that Venn diagram of loving the Scotts talking nonsense and also genuinely liking U2, but I really only like them in the 80s. My favorite song is "Bad" (it should be called "Good!") and I really like War and Joshua Tree, but new U2 is always pretty difficult to stomach. BUT, it's still really fun to hear Scott and Scott talk some '2 - even modern day '2 - so I say keep 'em coming, Bonobos! 365 new albums, please!


  8. Howie talking about catching the eclipse on Chaturbate was my favorite.

     

    My second favorite was his quiz, but I only got five right. Fifty percent! I failed Chanteuses & Geography 101.

     

    I think there's a couple Chanteuses missing -- Carly Rae and Charli XCX -- but they're both international so I'm not sure how that would work.

     

    Anyway, more H. Michael Quizes please!
