Weekly bonus episodes available at Patreon.com/thatawfulsound

The Regular Dog is Back! This week we cover The Christmas Shoes, a song so reprehensible it spawned one of our most cynical, most blasphemous episodes yet.

We tackle the subject of Christmas Mom-death the only way we know how: an exploration of Christian foot fetishes, a grown man's obsession with THAT LITTLE BOY, and the purpose this song serves in the American psyche.

Music We Like: Oxbow - Thin Black Duke, Bugg - S/T, and BROCKHAMPTON - SATURATION III

Sorry Folks! I worked 6 days, 70hrs last week, while sick, so no new episode. We'll be back next week with a very special Christmas episode! In the meantime, here's one of my favorites. 

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're covering the semi-woke, semi-forgotten single from Papa Roach's 3x platinum Infest: "Between Angels & Insects."

Inspired by a wild assortment of works (Fight Club, Buddhism, and a 1994 British period drama with the same name), the song tackles the age old conundrum: money sucks, but bedazzled Affliction t-shirts rule.

In this episode: Michael learned these tabs, Tony relates to Papa Roach fans through a friend from a broken home, and I think this song is better than Last Resort

Music We Like: Glassjaw - Material Control, For Against - Echelons, Quicksand - Interiors (again)

Welcome to our first Nickelback-related video! Spoler alert: it sucks.

This is the song from the Spider-Man soundtrack performed by a butt rock supergroup made up of Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, Saliva Frontman Josey “Joe C” Scott, and the douchebag from Theory of a Deadman

Sure, Nickelback himself is on this track, but the meat of the episode lies with Joe C and his weird antagonistic relationship with The Hives, The Strokes, and Chad Kroeger himself.

Make sure to check out our buddy Oliver on the Video Negative podcast

Music We like: Quicksand - Interiors, Less Art - Strangled Light, and Renounced
