2024/04/06

This week, British blues guitarist, singer/songwriter Bex Marshall brings us Irish funk rock band Republic Of Loose and their acclaimed 2004 debut 'This Is The Tomb Of The Juice'. With a surprising range of sounds for an outfit from Dublin - including gospel, rap, smoky blues and dirty funk - leader Mick Pyro and company sound like a cross between OutKast and the Stones, with a bit of Sly Stone thrown in. Although relatively unknown in the states, they attracted some heavy duty fans back home in

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2024/03/30

This week, returning guest Emile Milgrim (Las Nubes, Other Electricities) brings us Kate Bush, and her groundbreaking fourth studio album 'The Dreaming'. Released in 1982 - and her first that was entirely self-produced - the highly experimental collection of unconventional, at times dense soundscapes initially baffled both critics and the general public. Over time, however, it has been embraced as a triumph of inventive songwriting and unpredictable performances by an artist fully embracing her

2024/03/23

1984 had its share of sonically expansive punk releases, but few were as viscerally bizarre and dizzyingly unpredictable as Butthole Surfers' full-length debut, 'Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac'. Former TRGMH co-host Barry Stock joins Rob as they unpack this at-times-menacing, at-times-hilarious classic. Songs discussed in this episode: The Hurdy Gurdy Man - Butthole Surfers; Crispy Brain Candy - Barry Stock; A Different View - Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet; Hansel, Gretel & The Witch, The

This week, vocalist/songwriter...etc Michael Wiener (The Children...) brings us Chicago's Red Red Meat and their 1993 Sub Pop release 'Jimmywine Majestic'. With singer/songwriter Tim Rutili's - later of Califone - impressionistic lyrics and the band's fuzzed-out bluesy swagger, it's a dark, menacing ride indeed. Songs discussed in this episode: Smokey Mtn Dbl Dip - Red Red Meat (Live 1994 Davenport, IA); God Is A Bereaved, Smothered My Traces - The Children...; Funeral Singers - Califone; Glynis -

2024/03/09

This week's guest Rob Kassees (1001 Album Complaints Podcast) brings us Spoon and their deceptively sparse, sonically luscious 2002 release 'Kill The Moonlight'. Britt Daniel and company employ a less-is-more approach that feels effortless and often had us pondering, "Does it rock or does it groove?" Yes. Songs discussed in this episode: The Way We Get By - Vitamin String Quartet; Green Shirt - Elvis Costello & The Attractions; Servo - Brian Jonestown Massacre; Small StakesThe Way We Get By - Spoon;

Songs discussed in this episode: Shake Your Rump - Beastie Boys (Live in Amsterdam, 2004); It's The Little Things - Redd Kross; Beastie Boys -

2024/02/17

For our final episode of Season 6, we're joined by TRGMH super-fan Tom Lawery as we explore a classic of neo-psychedelic post-punk, The Soft Boys' seminal 1980 release: 'Underwater Moonlight'. Robyn Hitchcock's jangly, twisted pop songs were hugely influential to a slew of 80s alternative bands, and we could hardly contain our glee at revisiting this timeless classic of a record! Songs discussed in this episode: Queen Of Eyes - Fastbacks; My Wife And My Dead Wife - Robyn Hitchcock and The

2024/01/27

This week's guest, English singer/guitarist Miki Berenyi (Lush, Piroshka, Miki Berenyi Trio), brings us a record by Scottish alternative band - and for a time 4AD labelmates of her band, Lush - Cocteau Twins and their stunning 1984 release 'Treasure'. Evocative, ethereal, and anchored by singer Elizabeth Fraser's otherworldly voice, its sublime, almost alien beauty is hard to describe. But we try. Songs discussed in this episode: Strange Fruit - Cocteau Twins (John Peel BBC session, 1983);

2024/01/20

When we asked this week's guest, Grammy Award winning fiddler/singer/songwriter Louis Michot (Lost Bayou Ramblers) to choose a record to discuss, he went with an album that captured his imagination as a young up-and-coming Louisiana musician and has mystified him ever since: Pink Floyd's fascinating 1971 release, 'Meddle'. "And no one calls us to move on And no one forces down our eyes No one speaks and no one tries No one flies around the Sun" Songs discussed in this episode: One Of These Days

A supergroup to end all supergroups, the Traveling Wilburys (George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne) and their mega-platinum debut, Vol. 1, is at-the-end-of-the-day a chronicle of 5 supremely gifted musicians making some music together and clearly enjoying each other's company. This week's guest, Los Angeles musician D.A. Stern, can't remember a time when this record WASN'T a part of his life, and we leave our cynicism at the door as we dig into this once-in-a-lifetime

2023/12/23

When English singer/songwriter Nick Drake released his ambitious second album - 'Bryter Layter' - in 1971, he all-but-squashed any chance of commercial success by failing to promote it. Three years later the troubled artist was gone. This week's guest, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Paul Chastain (Velvet Crush, The Small Square), helps us unpack this evocative collection of songs featuring musical backing by members of Fairport Convention, The Beach Boys and John Cale among others.

S6E324 - boygenius 'the record' with Hillary Dougherty

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2023/12/16

This week's returning guest, political activist and co-host of The Muck Podcast Hillary Dougherty, didn't mince words when she asked to come back on the show: "boygenius just released the album of the year and I need to come on and talk about it!" OK. Luckily the debut full-length by this indie supergroup made up of three young, talented women (Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus) simply titled 'the record' IS pretty great, and well deserving of all the accolades it's been getting.
