This week we take on Billy Corgan, Zwan, and the brutal, public breakup of the early 2000's supergroup.

We find BC/WPC at his most petty and vindictive, raging at the "vile creatures" from Slint, Chavez, and A Perfect Circle on live journal and in the Chicago tribune. All this could be forgiven if he weren't trying so hard to look happy in this music video.

Music we like: Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics (remastered), Yo La Tengo - Shades of Blue, Mournful Congregation - The Incubus of Karma, Mastodon - Blood Mountain

This week Shaina and Michael return to help dissect an amazing, bizarre, and just-plain-great song from 1998: Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody."

Timbaland's mouth sounds. Baby sounds. Music Video Falconry. A four-hour push to write, record, and release this track as the lead single to Eddie Murphy's Dr. Doolittle, who also appears in the video.

This week our resident Limp Bizkit expert Aaron Brock returns to help us dissect the good-except-for-Fred-Durst N 2 Gether Now featuring Method Man and a beat from DJ Premier.

We're talking embarrassingly weak bars, poser Limp Bizkit hats from our childhoods, signed Fred Durst photos, and, once again, youtube commenters who don't normally like rap but like this song "for some reason"

Music we like: Marika Hackman - I'm Not Your Man, Turnstile - Real Thing, and The Most Unwanted Song

A song I hate from 2008, The Killers’ “Human,” dares to ask the question no one understood: are we human or are we dancer?

Not “denser.” Not “dancers.” Dancer.

We cover Brandon Flowers’ battle with the media on behalf of the world’s dumbest lyric, what it means to be “dancer,” and why, in Flowers’ own words, listeners are “idiots” if they don’t get it.

Music We Like: Noname - Telephone, The Jesus Lizard - Liar, Return to Forever - Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy

Bonus Weekly Episodes and Seriously Chill Merch available at  patreon.com/thatawfulsound starting at only $1/mo

Happy 3rd Anniversary to that Awful Sound! I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by finally talkin' Genie in a Bottle with longtime friends and cohosts: Michael "Mikey Goo" Muñoz and Shaina "One Time" Turian.

I had to cut a ton of great stuff for time, including probably a dozen amazing YouTube comments, and the only way to hear them is at Patreon.com/thatawfulsound. $1/month gets you a private feed of every bonus episode in your podcast player

This was a super fun, super freaky, and super freewheeling episode, so put Baby New Year to bed, keep an eye on that come-count, and enjoy!
