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.

S2E55 – Bad Brains “I Against I” – with guest Camila...

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/04/11

Another lovely and intelligent young woman has made the possibly career-ending and personally catastrophic decision to join us on our show. Her choice of subject is the game-changing and seminal album by Washington, D.C.’s Bad Brains, “I Against I,” the most successful album in the SST catalog. We cover a lot of ground, including the internal turmoil that drove the band and their album’s musical and production nods to a much less punk rock ensemble. Thanks again Camila for lending your charm and

S2E54 – “Killing Joke” – Killing Joke w/John Mahoney

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/04/04

Barry's guitarist bandmate, long-time Killing Joke fanboy and synthesizer aficionado John Mahoney brings snacks, booze, and wit to our humble podcast. This week we cover the debut album that launched a thousand pounding, throbbing ships, but none quite as magnificent as the one holding the broken champagne bottle, Jaz Coleman's Killing Joke. Geordie Walker, Youth and Paul Ferguson complete the edifice, each adding a critical component to the nascent sound. Please support our Patreon:

The AWESOME Chris Bellus from Laser Wolf and Invasive Species brewing in Fort Lauderdale joins us to introduce Rob and Barry to his favorite album, the debut by Chicago's Smashing Pumpkins, “Gish.” It's an album full of great textures and some sly nods to classic rock roots that might catch some listeners by surprise. https://invasivespeciesbrewing.com/# http://www.laserwolf.bar/home.html Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TRGMH Support Is This Tomorrow?: http://isthistomorrow.com

2019/03/23

The charming AND handsome Danny Gonzalez, bassist and voice of relative reason in Jacuzzi Boys, Miami's favorite trio of ne'er do wells, brings one of his picks to TRGMH for an hour of dissection and speculation. Like Flies On Sherbert has been issued a few times, with different track lineups, but we hit the one with the MOST tracks, and the one that got Danny's attention back in the mid-aughts. Drinks were had, just like during the making of this album. Support our Patreon at

S2E51 – The Velvet Underground & Nico with M.C. Kostek

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/03/14

Pull the handle on the time machine back 32 years and Barry is living in Stuart, Florida with one of the founders of the Velvet Underground Appreciation Society, Michael "M.C." Kostek. Mike is probably the ultimate authority on the Velvet Underground, and saw the Velvets twice in 1969 – before heading to Woodstock and interrupting Jimi Hendrix's set with his aggressive head nodding. The Velvet Underground & Nico is unquestionably one of the most influential albums in music, and we take a little

S2E50 – Minutemen – “Double Nickels on the Dime”

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/03/06

This 1984 double album by Minutemen was (and continues to be) a peak, at the zenith of what Alternative Rock in the US aspired to in the 1980s. Over 40 songs of introspective beat poetry and political observations set to a totally legit, funky, angular soundtrack by three 1976 graduates from San Pedro High School. Proposition: This is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Counter-argument: ??? Rob and Barry take their seats and get schooled by D, Mike and George. Support TRGMH on Patreon:

S2E49 – WEEZER (The Blue Album) – with Erin Lee

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/02/28

Erin Lee from FM 104.3 The Shark picked this week's deluxe slab of wax, the debut album by Rivers Cuomo's pop science experiment Weezer. The conversation is lifted by Erin's deep love and knowledge of this band's history, and inevitably degraded by Rob and Barry's crude, coarse, low-class japes, asides and bogus conclusions. But that's the point of the show, right? Thanks Erin for being a great guest. We'll do better next time, I promise. Support us via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TRGMH Visit

We conclude our first season of 48 episodes with a visit from beloved local Emile Blair Milgrim, co-founder of Miami Girls Rock Camp, Managing Partner of Sweat Records, and drummer for Las Nubes amongst other "diversions." Her pick of Jeff Buckley's posthumous “Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk" makes for great speculation – would'a could'a should'a.

S1E47 – Fucked Up – “David Comes To Life”

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/02/14

Fucked Up’s opus “David Comes To Life” tells the story of a recurring character in their ouevre, the self-same David, and his relationship with Veronica (not from the Archie comics), her death, and the intercession of a narrator/puppeteer who feels remorse for what he's done. Rob loves it and drinks $200 rye, Barry has a tough time of it after a rough week and drinks vodka and orange juice.

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/02/07

Rob and Barry reach back into the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s for The Pretty Things’ “Parachute,” the greatest album you've likely never heard by the greatest band you've probably never heard of. David Bowie covered TWO of their songs on his Pinups album, and wrote a song with their name in the title. This album is a gem, simultaneously tough and warm, musically ambitious but appealing, and rewards repeat listenings with layers of meaning and musical details. Produced by Norman Smith

This week we talk with Rick Ahmed about the labor of love that he and his brother Gary embarked on and are bringing to a conclusion this Friday. It's a documentary about South Florida's beloved and notorious LOAD, who tore up Miami, Fort Lauderdale and the Southeast from the early 90s through the early 2000s. We get drunk on beer at The Laser Wolf in honor of the late Bobby (“Bobby Load”) Johnston and Jeff Tucci, and talk a lot of shit. A LOT of shit. The doc drops tomorrow night at the Fort

2019/01/24

Rob and Barry put on our wrap-around shades and faux leather jackets, park our Camaro behind the dumpster, and sneak into the New Wave club to catch The Boomtown Rats, before their frontman Bob Geldof moved on to Band Aid and Live Aid. Those events would put his band in a shadow, and less remembered than they might be otherwise. Best known for “I Don't Like Mondays,” The Fine Art of Surfacing has other hidden gems, just like the “Most Filling Ever” Oreos that fueled this episode.

We gather to say “hats off” to the recently deceased Pete Shelley, leader of the Buzzcocks, and to revisit their heavily influential singles compilation “Singles Going Steady”. Return guest Tim Moffatt tells his very lurid story involving PS, booze, hotels, Fort Lauderdale, and things he didn't know but found out quick.

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2019/01/10

In the late '80s, Big Dipper released four records on the very hip Homestead label, which won them critical acclaim and a decent-sized fan base in the US and Europe. When their Homestead contract expired, the band looked for a new label that could get them to the mythical 'next level'. Big Dipper signed to Epic. The band came home with a record they thought would be well-received. From an business/existential standpoint, "Slam" was a disaster. Was Big Dipper to blame for falling down the corporate

S1E41 – Wire – “Pink Flag”

2019/01/03

In lieu of a scheduled appearance by the entire Big Dipper ensemble (next week, come hell or high water), Rob and Barry make haste not waste and deliver an episode about a monolith of underground music, Wire’s debut, “Pink Flag.” The list of luminaries (and lesser lights) who have copped to stealing wholesale from this treasure trove of ideas would fill the rest of this page. Brief songs touching on politics, sexuality and boredom are given a buff and shine by genius producer Mike Thorne, who copped

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2018/12/29

Barry, Rob and Ivan Soliani go further back than we ever have to the 1967 masterpiece by Pete, Roger, John and Keith, The Who Sell Out. Although it contains their one and only US hit single (“I Can See For Miles”), the balance of the album is a quirky collection of songs interspersed with clever commercials. Some of the songs rate amongst the best the band ever recorded, and it has become a favorite of many who in earlier decades would have picked “Who’s Next” without any hesitation. Recorded live

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2018/12/21

John Camacho, a South Florida music veteran who quit the mean streets of Miami-Dade and Broward for the idyllic ancient hills of North Carolina brings us an album that touched him deeply. Joni's meisterwerk is indeed a penetrating and impeccable portrait of the early 1970s music scene, and her legendary voice is all over it. The LA studio pros who back her up give it some jazz cred, and Five Stars is probably not enough to give it. Unless you're Rob Elba. Listen in and find out what goes on.

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2018/12/13

Like two old goats fighting over a rusty coffee can, Barry and Rob lock horns over Rob's pick of Emo concept album “The Black Parade.” It's more of a classic rock record than anything, which Barry delights in pointing out, while Rob follows the album's narrative thread until said thread sort of goes off the rails. Both Styx and Beck come up, although no Styx songs were used in the production of this podcast, I promise.

2018/12/06

Back to basics for That Record Got Me High, with your lovable(?) cohosts hitting on that hot girl at the bar, 1974’s “Secret Treaties” by Blue Oyster Cult. Beguiling, obtuse, impenetrable and smart, with an Oz behind the curtains flipping switches and using advanced mind-control techniques on enthralled listeners. It’s an amazing album, and it left us kneeling in the rain.

That Record Got Me High Podcast ·

2018/11/29

Bassist Tony “Qualls in” from Tampa to give us the “Load down” on a brilliant slice of punk metal from NO MEANS NO, Canadians who helped pioneer the sound taken to much greater commercial heights by others in the 1990s. Wrong is a start-to-finish fantastic album, which barely pauses to take a breath between sprints of intense, precise and aggro riffing. https://nomeansnomusic.bandcamp.com/album/wrong
