Episode 049: Buckle up for a journey through dystopian nightmares as Six Picks Music Club returns with a mind-bending exploration of scores and soundtracks that capture the essence of broken worlds! Geoff, Russ, Dave, and special guest Blake are diving deep into the musical territories that transform bleak futures from mere visual spectacles into immersive audio experiences. They'll twist through Philip Glass and Paul Leonard-Morgan’s hypnotic compositions, rage with the underground Japanese punk energy of The Stalin, blast through cyborg-powered Guns N' Roses intensity, feel The Cure's burning emotional depths, descend into the dark digital realms of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and finally launch into the cosmic expanses of Hans Zimmer's interstellar soundscapes. And because no dystopian soundtrack episode would be complete without a touch of chaos, the crew will also dive into the absolutely critical debate of popcorn butter ratios - because even in a broken world, snack strategy matters. Whether you're a soundtrack nerd, a dystopia enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates music that sounds like the apocalypse might be happening right outside your window, this episode promises to be a roller coaster through humanity's most beautifully broken musical moments.

Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave as they explore the universal experience of work - from the soul-crushing to the soul-lifting.

In this boozed-up episode of Six Picks Music Club, Geoff, Russ, and Dave are diving deep into the world of drinking songs faster than you can say "last call”—starting with George Thorogood's hard-rocking bar anthems, sliding into Todd Snider's cheeky underage rebellion, taking a wild turn with Turbo Negro's punk rock libations, floating down Willie Nelson's whiskey river, cruising with Snoop Dogg's street-rolling revelry, and finally capsizing with The Poxy Boggards' epic binge soundtrack.
