This week we cover No Doubt’s Spiderwebs and its unthematic video in which the band performs for an unreceptive wedding party. We’re chatting about the pre-sexual camera-humping of Gwen Stefani, Sam Rami-style cinematography, and whether Joan Stefani couldn't have been the one to screen her daughter’s phone calls.

Also: fond memories of the local “steel drum guy,” and my guests relay stories about living in the Sublime house and being kissed by Lit singer AJ Popoff at a No Doubt concert.

Music we like: BossaCucaNova's "Bom dia Rio," Sisters of Mercy's Floodland, and Pile's "Dogs"

“I just broke up with my super hot bassist boyfriend, and I wanna get my crotch out there”

This week we cover “Dragula” by Rob Zombie, a song and video we all loved that holds up surprisingly well. With almost nothing bad to say about the video, we turn to a comment section filled with borderline insane people, including but not limited to: offended/not-offended wiccans, 9 year-old head bangers, and potential school shooters.

Was this song an attempt at marketing the idea of a weekend to our dedicated labor force? Did Zombie just want to write a song about a badass car? (yes) And we come up with a cool name for your penis.

Music we like: Dark Thoughts and Joan of Arc's "He's Got The Whole This Land Is Your Land In His Hands"

This week we “Meet Virginia,” a monster brought to life by mom rock juggernauts Train in their 1998 single. She’s not like other girls.

Also: rhyming words with themselves… twice, remorseful memories of bullying girls in high school with Nickelback lyrics and flying burritos, and, again, a song that strikes an unlikely chord with am internet commentator.

Music We Like: Watsky - X Infinity, Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition, and Afghan Whigs - Do To The Beast

This week we talk about “the opposite of jazz fusion”: Green Jelly’s claymation video for “Three Little Pigs."

In this episode: Guest Derek’s appreciation of songs made up of just one riff, a healthy discussion on the merits of anthropomorphic pig asses, and an edgy, 90’s update of the Big Bad Wolf gets gunned down by Rambo.

“Is this the longest punk song ever written?”

“This is three minutes longer than the longest punk song ever written.”

Music We Like: Ken Mode's Success LP and Nerve EP, Robert Glasper and Jill Scott's "Calls," and AFI's "Get Hurt"
