That Record Got Me High Podcast

Are you a music obsessive? Can you sit down for an hour or so poring over an album you love, digging deep into the lyrics, musical references and "secret sauce" that makes it so special to you? Then this just MIGHT be your podcast! Each week your host - rock-n-roll lifer and recovering punk Rob Elba - sits down with a special guest to dissect a record that - metaphorically - got them high.

S2E95 - The Grifters "One Sock Missing" - with Chris...

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2020/01/11

Chris White is not a grifter, as far as we know, and frankly we didn't get close enough for him get his hand in our pockets. But he didn't try and sell us any life-changing vitamin supplements. He did bring this wonderful 1993 piece of work by Memphis's Grifters. It's a beautifully low-fi melange of blues, psych, and ever-shifting melodic wonderment, apparently spinning a tale of insomnia at the hands of Owsley Stanley's specialty. No bad vibes here though, guaranteed bruh. Support our Patreon:

2020/01/04

Thanks to much-celebrated guitarist Bill Orcutt, That Record Got Me High has now driven into the proverbial Everglades and begun wading around, in the dark. The alligators are sure to take notice, and who can blame them? Daring to approach 17-now-18-year-old wunderkind Billie Eilish, and her pop masterpiece, as 55+ dads, is bound to elicit some stink eye. We did it though, didn't we?

S2E93 - St. Vincent, “Actor” with Adele Stock

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/12/28

Adele Stock – who might be distantly related to cohost Barry Stock – brings her insights and history with St. Vincent (Annie Clark) to our last episode of 2019. It's a striking, beautiful album with (maybe) a hidden narrative structure, or maybe it's just what happens when you watch movies with the sound off and write songs to explain what's going on. Adele has her own take on it and the 55+ duo chase after her coattails. Happy New Year from Rob, and Barry, and Adele! Please Support Us on Patreon:

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/12/21

This week's show features songwriter/guitarist Rachel Angel and the late David Berman's masterpiece, “Purple Mountains." It's a dark, beautiful, moving album of songs sung by someone who really means it. Thanks Rachel for letting us tag along on this journey, and thanks for playing your own bit of heartache for us at the close of the show.

S2E91 - Half Japanese "Charmed Life" with Marc Masters

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/12/14

Despite being afflicted with a case of dengue fever (or maybe just a cold) his children brought home from school, journalist and author Marc Masters found his inner resolve and brought this marvelous album to our show. "Charmed Life" is at Half Jap's tipping point between their raw and noisy roots and their (also) raw pop sensibilities. No monkeys were harmed in the making of this recording.

S2E90 - "Foo Fighters" debut w/Hillary Dougherty

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/12/07

For unknown reasons, another charming guest has visited the charm wasteland that is That Record Got Me High, and has left with her wits intact. Hillary Dougherty felt like Dave Grohl's solo-except-for-one-bit Foo Fighters debut needed polishing off, and since Rob LOVES Dave Grohl, I said "yes" while he wasn't looking. We dispel any caveats, though, finding that there's a lot to love, enjoy (and puzzle over) in this album, and Hillary definitely brings the groceries as a contributor. Support That

2019/11/29

Natalia Bellus brings scholarly insights into Robert Smith and his gothic, romantic inclinations to That Record Got Me High. We try and try to not look stupid, but alas, a lass does us in and gets the upper hand intellectually on Barry, and Jethro – which is Rob's real name. Disintegration will put you in a mood – to tease your dyed black hair, drink absinthe, and stand on cold deserted beaches.

2019/11/23

Friend of That Record Got Me High and (as will become obvious) extraordinarily good-natured Cathi Marro brings a record her 14-year-old self was touched (platonically) by, with, for, whatever. She loves Howard Jones and who are...we...to...argue? A spectral Orson Welles makes an appearance via Ouija Board and eats all of the food, drinks all the wine, and smokes cigars while playing with the cats.

The ultimate spud – Malcolm Tent – self-professed maximum Devo connoisseur, brings their shocking, unprecedented debut album for us to wonder at and cheerfully dissect. There's a fair amount of "self-abuse” in both the albums's lyrical content and in our discussion, but we tee up for a Par 4 on the Back 9 with Malcolm and Chi Chi Rodriguez with Q: Are We Not Men?

That Record Got Me High welcomes their tallest guest – Bill Howard – local (commercial, no sales to the public please) nursery owner and notorious former SFL bouncer to our monthly Live at The Laser Wolf show. He brings an album we all love, X's Slash Records debut, “Los Angeles,” which is a start-to-finish barn burner. If you bring Bill a pizza he'll give you back your fake ID.

The beloved unofficial Mayor of Hialeah, Florida – Ferny Coipel – whose incredibly lazy band Humbert gives occasional stellar live shows, is in love with Anne Frank, by proxy, in the guise of Neutral Milk Hotel's 1998 tender monolith, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea." We do our best to not f*ck up this work that many hearts and minds love with an undying passion. Coffee was consumed, beer was drank, and after all, it's Hialeah.

Please support TRGMH on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH? Local artist Richard Vergez grew up in Miami and at the age of nine forced his father - with threats of extreme violence - to buy him Ministry's ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ (Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs) on cassette. Richard found the album complemented his desire for raw power and world domination. He called us and made us an offer we couldn't refuse, so we spent an hour and change with the industrial/metal epic and artist

Providence, Rhode Island used record dealer and drummer/guitarist for a few obscure New England bands (Mission of Burma, Volcano Suns, Kustomized, Minibeast) Peter Prescott brings Brian Eno's debut solo album to That Record Got Me High. It's a humdinger, and we all get reacquainted with just HOW influential this work really was (and is).

A Pakistan native whose family drove from England back to Pakistan and then came back to England in a midget submarine.

2019/09/14

Brookesville, Florida native Tom Lawery – who Barry Stock really should have known but didn't until now – drove over from St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) to bring us R.E.M.'s 1984 sophomore set, “Reckoning.” It’s an album that has done more than stand up over time, it seems to have actually gotten better. It's not all hagiography in our episode with Tom, but this record got us all high. Support Rob and Barry's work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH?

Erudite and suavé Jeffrey Weaver, a patron, brings to our slash and blab idiot ambulance a circular vinyl sword aimed straight at the heart of everything in its path, The Fall's second full-length album, "Dragnet." Like a good sandwich monger he pulls from his mental meat wagon the proverbial goods, and we try and follow along while scribbling dimwitted cartoons on our vodka-sodden desks.

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/09/01

A contentious foursome gathered before anxious, sweaty microphones to pontificate conversely about the relative merits of Minneapolis underdogs Soul Asylum's A&M debut, “Hang Time.” Some found it full of promise, hope, and the scent of newly-mown grass, while others found that it smelled like the grass after horses digested it, and derivative of odious chumps like Aerosmith.
