About this listen

A re-examination of underrated, underappreciated, or sometimes even notoriously "bad" albums by popular artists, focusing on the positive aspects of each. Everyone has told us these are failures, but what if they're just not what we expected?2023 Music

  • Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films
    Jan 27 2025

    Ralph and Michael have been assigned a Disney tribute album featuring Sun Ra, Tom Waits, Garth Hudson, one of The Beatles, Sinead O'Connor, Bonnie Raitt, Michael Stipe, Herb Alpert, The Replacements, and more.

    Hear us out. It's... eerie.

    Later, a response from a Disney Adult and the return of Saucy Walter.

    Thanks for listening to our second season. We liked making it, and we'll be back soon with our third season. In the meantime, circle back to the episodes you missed and tell your friends about us.

    This episode was recorded before we heard the sad news of David Lynch's passing.

  • Fodder On My Wings by Nina Simone
    Jan 14 2025

    In the eighties, Nina Simone recorded one of her most eclectic and personal albums. It’s also one of her best, and Ralph and Michael are here to tell you all about it, doing our best to understand her as a musician, as a person, and as a political figure. (Michael says this is his favorite album we've covered on this show so far. What do you think, listener?)

    Later, Ralph performs a Nina Simone original in the style of Radiohead.

  • One Hot Minute by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Dec 31 2024

    This is another one of those episodes where Michael struggles to get into the album, and Ralph has to take the wheel. What is it about the Red Hot Chili Peppers that Michael doesn’t get? Seriously, what crawled up that guy’s butt? First Lil’ Wayne and now this. It’s like he hates fun or something, that Scrooge.

    Don’t worry, listener; empathy and open-mindedness will win in the end. (In this episode anyway. Not sure about real life.) Remember in the Bob Dylan episode when we promised our podcast wouldn’t be weird anymore? How are we doing with that?

    Later, Ralph shares a mysterious 78 RPM record that will change the way you think about RHCP and, possibly, the laws of time and space.
