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.

DUPLICATE SPOTIFY – S2E74 – The Beatnigs –...

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/08/24

THIS IS A DUPLICATE TRACK TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE SPOTIFY STREAM. Camila Risso gets us on the horn with one of the originals, Popmaster Fabel, whose “pioneering individuality has been showcased internationally since 1982. President of the Hierophysics Theater Group, Senior member of the Rock Steady Crew and proud member of the Electric Boogaloos.” He picked an amazing gem from Jello Biafra’s Alternative tentacles label, the industrial/funk/rap monster that is “The Beatnigs.”

2019/08/17

Jerry Lee Lewis Live at The Star Club Hamburg is the greatest live album you've never heard. It's white hot, and The Big Takeover kingpin Jack Rabid comes onboard our leaky vessel to paddle for the far shore with a Whole Lotta insight about this here affair.

S2E72 - Steely Dan “Pretzel Logic” with Garry Messick

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/08/09

Garry Messick comes in wth a killer classic by the divisive, polarizing duo of the late Walter Becker and the curmudgeonly Donald Fagen – AKA Steely Dan. Love them or hate them, you Can't Buy A Thrill better than listening to us rubes chew the fatback over this slab of alternately snarky and touching vignettes.

S2E71 – The Stranglers – “Black and White”

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/08/03

With the cancellation of a guest due to a case of having to go to banjo camp (NOT a euphemism), Rob Elba and Barry Stock grabbed this one off the shelf, an album that ought to be in YOUR collection if it's not. The Stranglers are singular, weird, perfect, a force of nature – just not an entirely benevolent one. Four aural sculptors, five fucking stars.

S2E70 – Kiss “Destroyer” – with Juan Montoya

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/07/26

KISS superfan and for-real metal guitarist deluxe Juan Montoya brings every 1976 teenage boy's rock and roll fantasy disc to That Record Got me High's monthly Live at Laser Wolf show. The deep philosophical lyrical content really has us scratching our beards and/or razor stubble, and we smoke pipes and drink cognac while scrunching up our foreheads. At the end we break out the acoustics and kick three KISS covers in the head, real hard. Thanks Juan Montoyer!

S2E69 – PULP – “Different Class”

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/07/18

Flat out one of the best albums we've talked about on our show, a masterful work of sinister, dark pop from Jarvis Cocker and his ensemble Pulp. The combination of classic pop structures and Cocker's shatteringly candid observations about goings on within and without the human organisms in his orbit combine for a very, very interesting ride.

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/07/11

Our friend Bobbie Jo from up the block brings in her disco album and turns us on to one of the genres greatest talents, the flamboyant and gifted Sylvester. "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real" is the track most of us are familiar with, but the rest of the album mixes harmonically ambitious dance tracks with gospel-tinged soul and stellar vocal performances.

This week we are joined by Punk Jill, Jill Definis, drummer for the Pop Skulls, world-class cynic (according to Rob) and Cheap Trick aficionado. We all pretty much give up on any kind of criticism of one of all of our favorite albums, the insanely great Heaven Tonight. Drinks are had, good and bad words are said, and we enjoy the heck out of this piece of wonderment. Support our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH?

S2E66 – Black Flag “My War” – with Camila Risso

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/06/27

Camila Risso returns, bringing 1984's controversial, love it or hate it “My War,” the first in a string of dark, bleak, challenging albums by LA's seminal hardcore ensemble Black Flag. Side One gives the kids in the mosh pit a little something to write home about, but side two slips into a musical La Brea Tar Pit of heavy dirges topped with Henry Rollins' verbal self-immolations. It's great. Please support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH? Please visit our sponsor, Is This Tomorrow:

In another of our...um..."collusions" with ex-members of Boston's beloved and defunct Big Dipper, axe-man Gary Waleik walks up the subway stairs with the fourth and final Velvet Underground album, "Loaded." "Sweet Jane" and "Rock and Roll" were FM rock staples in the late 70s, and this album was the closest the band got to mainstream...anything.

S2E64 – Shellac – “At Action Park” with Jay Reeve

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/06/13

An eyeball-gouging, face-raking, windshield bouncing classic from 1994, the debut from the (still doing it) trio of miscreants Shellac. 10 songs of love, loss, and getting your scrotum snagged in a carnival ride by Steve Albini, Bob Weston and Todd Trainer. Brought to us by the self-proclaimed “King of Used Office Furniture (in Deerfield Beach)” Jay Reeve, who drank the drinks and slung the hash with us. Please support our Patreon.

Witty, astute and lovely ska saxophonist Mitzie Velez brings her love of X-Ray Spex and the late. singular, undeniable, brilliantly day-glo Poly Styrene to our monthly live taping at Laser Wolf.

S2E61 – Voivod – “VOIVOD”

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/05/23

Voivod's 2003 self-titled album is their first to feature newly self-amputated-from-Metallica Jason Newsted ("Jasonic"), and also the return of original vocalist Denis Bélanger ("Snake"). It's guitarist Denis D'Amour's ("Piggy") swan song (RIP 2005). Drummer and visionary Michel Langevin ("Away") propels the album in spectacular fashion. Sci-fi, thrash metal, alt-rock, unclassifiable (and spectacularly unavailable), it's fantastic from start to finish. YouTube, of course, will provide... VOIVOD:

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/05/15

1971 comes into razor sharp focus with Captain Beefheart's follow up to his magnum opus “Trout mask Replica." The songs are intensely strange, but focus on both human ecological concerns and Don's love of "yams" that "yawn and yearn." It is a crazy, crazy ride, an album that's just as wild as the day it hatched, and one that will have you laughing and scratching your chin simultaneously. Thanks very much to Tallahassee's own highly-gifted musical stepchild Mike Coleman for bringing this slab of

Our friend Steve Michener makes his third appearance on That Record Got Me High to wax eloquent about The Monochrome Set, a group that is as English as The Kinks, and with the same difficulties in crossing the pond culturally. Steve recently shepherded the quirky ensemble on the West Coast leg of a US tour, and his love of the band is now shared by your less-hip cohosts.

That Record Got Me High is very pleased to have as our guest the fantastic and highly entertaining original member of Cleveland, Ohio's seminal Rocket from the Tombs – AND – NY punk rock icons Dead Boys – CHEETAH CHROME. He brings the goods with clarity about who, what, when and where, and hips us to a lyric we've puzzled over for decades. This was a great time for both of us, and we think you'll feel the same way.

2019/04/25

Tony Landa, from Hialeah's own legendary Humbert, brings us a stone-cold metal classic from 1982. Bruce Dickinson's debut as Iron Maiden's vocalist made them internationally famous, and the album is full of great playing and composing. We only really take issue with one of the lyrics, which we suspect maybe the band would rather forget as well. All of this taking place at our favorite watering hole, Fort Lauderdale's Laserwolf.

S2E56 – The B-52’s – “Wild Planet” with Lisa Zomaro

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/04/18

A party out of bounds is what we've got on our hands, with B-52's super fan Lisa Zomaro (formerly Lisa PRL / currently Lisa Kitschy Cat) bringing us an album that was a thorough pleasure to listen to and talk about. Athens, GA's first New Wave musical export's second platter of seemingly innocent but driving dance tracks has a lot more under the surface (of the water) than a dip of your toe in the shallow end might indicate.
