2025/04/30

Ass-Kickers! We've been doing this for five years now (over five years, as I write this), and... wow. We never get the chance to toot our own horns, but we're going to - just this once - because, damn. We're proud of what we've been able to do, we're proud of all of the content that we've produced, and we're proud that we get to continue to do this - hopefully for another five years, and beyond.We talk about all of it in this episode... it's a Vibes episode, which is our more conversational episode

New ep who dis? [EDITOR'S NOTE: Okay, you can't keep saying that this podcast knows about "the youths" and then use old-ass references like that. Do better.]What the helly? It's a new episode type, that's what!! [EDITOR'S NOTE: sigh]We're calling this one SomeOnes. The premise is easy to learn, but takes a lifetime to master... or something. You see, each of us got a randomly-generated year, sometime within the last 50 years. Dan scored 1979, J copped 1996, and Zack ended up with 2010.Each of us

2025/04/02

Ass-Kickers! This is a fittingly Ass-Kicking episode, as we're talking about our Top 5 Guitar Solos. Guitar Solos just kick ass! It's a whole thing.You'll hear some songs that you expect, along with some unexpected songs from artists that you expect... and some unexpected artists altogether. But with 15 (or less?) songs between us, there were MANY that we didn't have time - or knowledge - to cover. Which means that burden, unfortunately, falls on y'all: what did we leave out?

Ass-Kickers! We got a solo dolo for you today, with another one of our Unsung episodes, where we look at those folks in the music industry that are lesser known for their amazing accomplishments.

We back! Both with reviews, as this is the first monthly review episode since last November. But also, we back from an unexpected hiatus last week.You see, I ("I" = Zack... yo0O) had grand intentions on getting out an Unsung episode, due to some scheduling issues with the crew. And then... life happened. I'm being overly dramatic - just had a TON of unexpected work to do, and I stayed up way too late every night, and didn't have time to crank out the ep. Unfortunate.BUT!

Ass-Kickers! We're rewinding back [counts on fingers and toes] [abandons fingers and toes and opens up calculator app instead] 44 years for one of our Billboard Rerank episodes! We're talking about the Billboard Year-End charts for the year 1981. It was a transitional year, as we moved away from the sounds that made up the 1970s - especially the latter half of the 1970s - and began to usher in what we would come to know and... love? about the 1980s. It's an interesting journey, and - as usually

2024/12/31

Let's ring in the new year with old content! Everybody wins! Yaaaaaay!!(Okay, do maybe we just win. That’s how it goes sometimes.) Here’s the deal: we have a New Year's episode in the Vault, from waaaaaay back in 2021. It was pretty good! Content-wise, at least. Audio quality? Not so good. We couldn't use it as-is, so why not repurpose the content? Thus, the Fairly KickAss Redraft™ was born. We're taking that old Songs to Ring in the New Year episode, throwing all the songs in a pot, and picking our

Shout-out to all the PA's out there... you know who you are.) Anyway! Look at us. Not just Podcast Us, but You Us as well. All the Us's. The Royal Us. Because we did it.

Fairly KickAss Podcast - The Rush: Diss Tracks

The Fairly KickAss Podcast ·

2024/12/17

I have a riddle for you, Dear Listener: What do Kendrick Lamar, Alanis Morissette, The Sex Pistols, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage have in common? Not a whole lot, truly. But one thing they share, as does everyone we talk about in this episode, is that they've released a diss track of some form or fashion. There's a lot of dissin' to go around here, targeting specific individuals, rival bands, music labels - even an entire coast of the US. Stakes range from lowest of low, up to - and, sadly, including

Fairly KickAss Podcast - One Song: Madonna

First off - Happy Thanksgiving to all our American homies! As we set off on travel across the country, or cook 100 lbs. of food for those who are traveling to us, we do the thing where we give thanks for people and things that have been good to us. Sources of joy and happiness. Rays of light in our lives. Music can certainly qualify, and there aren't many that have provided as many great albums and tracks as the Queen of Pop in the flesh, Madonna. She has been one of the true legends in the music

Ass-Kickers! Typically, the only time we talk about full albums is during the monthly reviews; otherwise, it's all songs. Well lemme tell ya - if you love albums, then this is the episode for you. It's a patent-pending Top 5 episode, and this time we cover our Top 5 No-Skip Albums. Not necessarily our favorite albums; not necessarily what we would consider the best albums either (although there may be overlap). Rather, albums without a single track that you want to skip to get to the next track. If

Ass-Kickers! As mentioned in the first few minutes, what you're hearing is our second go-round with the Top 5 Halloween Songs list, as the first one was never released on Spotify - or, of course, wherever you get your podcasts now. It was such a great episode (and we're suckers for being able to reuse content to bring to more of your earballs) that we decided to run it back. So here! It's Top 5 Halloween Songs Pt. 2... Pt. 2.
