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.

S2E68 – Sylvester “Step II” – with Bobbie Jo

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. It's 1978, do you know where your dancing shoes are? Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH? Visit our sponsor:

S2E67 - Cheap Trick "Heaven Tonight" with Jill Definis

2019/07/04

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. The record was unavailable in the US until 1992, and many may have missed its extraordinary charms. They are many, and varied. Support our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH?

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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:
