Podcast 32 – Dave Grohl and Frenemy Derek

Podcast 32 – Dave Grohl and Frenemy Derek

A christmas-EP-challenge is presented. The mystery of Oak Island is solved. A lot about Dave Grohl. Why having a dumb day job might be good for your soul. And, as always, all of our music is excellent:

Thank you to Foot Gun for providing our theme song, and thank you to The Asheville Rock Collective, for existing. (Hey- also!!!! Please take a second to like Holy Crap Records on Facebook and friend us or whatever on Twitter.)

Song We Like: Hombre Sin Nombre by Los Barbos

Song We Like: Hombre Sin Nombre by Los Barbos

Don’t ever tell us what this song means, because we prefer to believe they’re revealing the secrets of the Freemasons and the location of the ark of the covenant. The singer is gutteral and passionate and we actually don’t care what he’s singing about.(Featured on our #32 Podcast, Dave Grohl and Frenemy Derek)

Song We Like: You Never Check Your Mail by Greenia

Greenia is a great, expressive band, – or person -, creative in all directions, revealing and obtuse in its listenable weirdness. We’re fans. (Featured on our #32 Podcast, Dave Grohl and Frenemy Derek)

Song We Like: I’m Clean by Poet Radio

Song We Like: I’m Clean by Poet Radio

,

This is a long song, played with a few instruments that go in and out like an orchestra in different waves and movements. Poet Radio is a good band to listen to if you think everything about pop music has already been explored. (Featured on our #32 Podcast, Dave Grohl and Frenemy Derek)

Song We Like: Mary by The Big Dumb

Song We Like: Mary by The Big Dumb

She threw the condom out the window and it caught the light of a passing train. What else needs to be said. This country/rock band from Nashville can capture the imagination and also sing a really good, tuneful, catchy song.

An important and extremely catchy song from the deep well of good music that is Melbourne, Australia. Let this be your theme song for 2019. (Featured on our #32 Podcast, Dave Grohl and Frenemy Derek)

Podcast 31: Vive la révolution

Podcast 31: Vive la révolution

Why Cinnamon likes to dress in drag. John’s rocking-out shorts. Recurring-character Summer McClinton explains the new French Revolution. The podcast travels to Mexico, Sweden, Ireland, France, and deepest Swannanoa, and, as always, all of our music is excellent:

Thank you to Foot Gun for providing our theme song, thank you to the Hoodoo Music Festival for being our mortal enemies (show is on 12/15 at Turkey Point South in Greenville, SC), and thank you to The Asheville Rock Collective, for existing.

Album Review: Acid Trip by Acid Trip

Album Review: Acid Trip by Acid Trip

Heavy, repetitive riffs will make you forget the logical parts of your brain. Very experiential music from Guadalajara, Mexico. Our favorite song: Smashead. (Featured on our #31 podcast, Vive la revolution.)

Album Review: Please Believe Me by The Spiral

Album Review: Please Believe Me by The Spiral

What is it, pop or something? We couldn’t agree if they sound like the National or Joy Division, which is a pretty large disparity. We love their songs, which are full of feeling, and reference both the local WNC economy and nasgul. Our favorite song: Thursday. (Featured on our #31 podcast, Vive la revolution.)
