Pod Like a Hole

Pod Like A Hole: Mastodon Part 3 - Emperor of Sand Track by Track The hosts riff and theorize about the journey of the Wanderer as he goes toe to toe with the Sultan on Mastodon's 2017 release: Emperor of Sand. This is the 3rd and final Mastodon episode in this Pod Like A Hole mini season. The first episode covered their history, the second was a discography overview, and the third is EOS. Episode starts with news and recs, Mastodon talk starts about 25 minutes in. While the discussion of Mastodon ends here and moves to either Stevie, WIllie, Sousixe, or Robert in the final Pod Like a Hole Podcasts - they will forever be in the lifetime rock rotation.

In what is one of my favorite talks this podcast has had, the hosts walk through the entire Mastodon discography - short of the track by track talk of Emperor of Sand and a Cold Dark Place that will be the bulk of the next episode. Starts with Call of the Mastodon, ends with Hushed and Grim. How many different ways can three 40ish Dads say "wow this album is great, oh and this album is also great" ? You will find out in this episode. Please do not turn this episode into a drinking game where you take a shot every time a comment is made on a great riff, or that you can't believe the drummer can sing that well, or that Brent Hinds is a special dude. You will go blind. *Editors note: Out of the four members we do not talk enough about what Bill Kelliher does to put this band over the top. That's what he gets for being the only one who doesn't hog the microphone but make no mistake, he's an all star riffer. This is episode 2 of a 3 part Mastodon Pod Like A Hole Mini Season.

Washing upon the beach of your shipwrecked life is another episode of Pod Like a Hole. The first of 3 episodes dedicated to the mighty Mastodon of the south. Episode 1 (this episode) we cover the band's formation, the 4 members of this band, and the bulk of the discussion is the influences and peers that helped shape their sound. If you are a fan of ZZ Top, Thin Lizzy, Neurosis, Melvins, High on Fire, and even the Seattle scene of the 90s there is something here for you. Episode 2 will be a gushing discussion of their discography at a macro level, and Episode 3 will be a track by tack review of Emperor of Sand at a micro level.

Well the dust is still settling from the betrayal that was our System of a Down episode, and it is positively palpable in the air. However, this ravaged warground is the perfect location for the power of Fugazi's "The Argument". Steve, Marc, and Eric spin this 2001 album, discuss DC Hardcore, the Dischord Records scene, the Post-Hardcore genre having a current moment, and the history of Fugazi. Then your hosts dive in to the track-by-track review of this genre-transcending record. And after that experience your hosts are changed. What were once blood stained helmets are now small beanies on their heads. Hate in their hearts? Now compassion. There is only one reasonable next step here and elsewhere---ceasefire.

We had to do a Nu Metal episode. One hosts lived and breathed it during his teens, a real Jinco Wallet Chain nerd. Another host dabbled in the scene, sometimes to just check on his friend and make sure he wasn't too far gone. A third host was drafted into the No Limit army at the time and was too busy fighting on battles on the Sun Coasts and missed the entire movement back home. In addition to discussing Toxcity track by track you'll find discussions on Miami Vice, Fargo, Iron Maiden, The Curse, Hed PE, Slipknot, Korn, RIck Rubin, and pizza. Spoilers: this episode has one host give his lowest ranking ever. Recs, Current Events, general music chat, and SOAD history in the first hour. Track by Track starts at the 1 hour mark.

Join the Pod Like A Hole hosts back at the Xmas Cabin for our kind of annual Holiday Special. Marc has a love and knowledge of Disney that only is rivaled by his love of U2 and Steve knew it would be catnip to trick him into doing another holiday special. Eric keeps the fire stoked and earns his pay. Enjoy the hosts of a certain age counting down their top 5 Animated Disney movies while you pack those last minute presents and to grandmother's house you go. We picked up the pace and knocked out 5 episodes for you in the last two months so that means we are going to take a few weeks off and be back with a one two punch of System of A Down followed by Fugazi. Happy Holidays from PLAH.

Your three hosts have reached the home stretch. The last handful of our favorite albums to review for our "Run the Gamut" season. Steve, Marc and Eric have all had excellent picks, weird ones, and every now and then, one of us shows up with a card up our sleeve. In this case, Eric is the Card Cheat, so to speak. In this jam packed, bonus sized episode, we change our name to " Pod Em' Enough Rope " and give you the full run down of the Clash discography and its place in punk history, touch on the solo and side work of Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, and then give you the coveted track-by-track analysis of "London Calling". Does this record deserve it's spot on all the Top 100 lists? Is it truly a "must have" for music fans? Or is it a Cadillac oil stain on a supermarket parking lot? We will decide...but you can decide too (though we know our rights as hosts to be correct). Do you agree? Disagree? Who's your favorite Clash member? Do you Stan-dinista? Reach out and let us know. Ok it's time to cut the crap, and enjoy this episode!

the Pod Like a Hole Hosts celebrate Florence and the Machines’ 2011 release: Ceremonials. If you are one of our listeners who says “Pod Like a Hole, we appreciate the wide variety of artists you’ve discussed, but often I find it’s either too much obscurity, too many riffs, or too much testosterone. Can you please give me a mainstream act that isn’t a balding man?” Well, here you go. Steve pushed on the team a track-by-track discussion of Florence Welch and her Machine’s album that can also be used as a audition tape for Barstool sports. We are reaching across the aisle here. Eric cries twice to one of these songs.

This episode finds Eric, Marc, and Steven don our Sunday best to go door to door to spread the good news about Arcade Fire's Neon Bible. But, it isn't all good news when we discuss the bad news that Win Butler got himself into recently.

You and your buddies flip your collars, as the rain pours down. You huddle under an awning as you finish your smokes.Life is good. You are young, independent, and ready for trouble. Then you head in to the bar. the joint. The dive. It's your home away from home. Speaking of home, the bartender tells you that the police department called, and your house is on fire. Then it occurs to you. You aren't young. You are 42. And then occurs to you that you've left your children home along to go drink... That scene and so many more await you on the Pod Like A Hole track-by-track review of Tom Waits' 1985 classic. With still one foot in the boxcars, Tom Waits explores European avant-garde influences and the results...well you'll have to listen to Eric , Marc and Steve figure it all out. How will they rate this album? Is Rain Dogs an old dog, or a dead dog? How would you rate this one, gentle listeners.

You find your self in an old boxcar bouncing over the railroad track with an old hobo howling in your ear. Tales of love and loss, old dogs and prostitutes. It's a cornucopia of creamed corn , but somewhere in that whiskey soaked word salad is the story of a man. A man who harnessed the sound of a junkyard, cobbled it into a beautiful sound and aimed it our hearts. This is the story of Tom Waits, as only your boys at Pod Like a Hole can tell it. In anticipation of our track-by-track review of his classic album "Rain Dogs", Eric, Steve and Marc hop in that boxcar and take that California trip.

It is the second and final episode of our Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band mini season: track by track discussion of Darkness on the Edge of Town. In the first installment we had an overview discussion of our history with E Street and their discog. In this episode we take a deeper dive into Bruce's 10 song long 1978 heart of darkness that contains many moments of joy as well. How many sax solo samples can we get away with posting? How many of Bruce's album covers aren't terrible? What exactly is Bruce proving all night? Tune in and find out. RIP Big Man.

Steve has hi-jacked the show for two episodes of in depth Boss Talk. Thankfully the other hosts are game and a Bruce time is had by all. Bruce is for everyone, and if you don't already believe that - you will. Part 1 is all Bruce all the time with Plugs and News that are all E Street. Followed by the hosts personal history with the boss, Pop Culture E Street band musings, Clarence Clemons, and the bulk of the episode which is an end to end capsule review tour through Bruce and the E Street bands albums. Join us next time for the main event in Part 2 as we cover Darkness on the Edge of Town with a track by track discussion of Badlands and Promised Lands. RIP Big Man.

In 1986, an ex-prog rocker introduced himself to the pop landscape and blew the doors right off. Peter Gabriel, the suave art-rocker who was equal parts world music advocate, equal parts horndog-with-a-heart-of-gold, made an album so catchy, so honest, so unique that it captured the imaginations of music snobs and normies alike. That album was "So", and your Pod Like a Steam hosts are here to evaluate it, Sledgehammer-by-sledgehammer, hit by hit. Play along at home, give this seminal record a spin, and join Marc, Eric and Steve as they spend a little time celebrating Peter's discography, time with the band Genesis, and score work before diving in to "So". It'll be a good time. You might get a little hot and bothered, but who could blame ya. Also- Pod Like a Hole studios apparently is still infested by frogs ever since the Tool episode. Our apologies we are working on that.
