Movie Themes! I talk to Alex Shaw of the Digital Drift podcast about two ridiculous movie themes: Wild Wild West from the film Wild Wild West and Deepest Bluest from the film Deep Blue Sea.

We've got fake beatboxing, lots of nipples, cute cowboy outfits, and LL Cool J literally morphing into a shark.

We also discuss two movie themes we actually like, including Fiona Apple's cover of Across the Universe from the film Pleasantville and Aimee Mann's Wise Up from the film Magnolia.

In this very special episode, Alex Shaw of the Digital Drift podcast joins me to discuss the Goo Goo Dolls' Iris as well as the film for which the song was written, City of Angels.

The first half of the episode is spent on sandpaper vocals and unnecessary guitar solos, while we spend the second half tying the song's creepy lyrics to an even creepier film.

Does anyone really believe the singer is looking at film footage through all those telescopes? Where was God while Nic Cage was camping out in Meg Ryan's bathroom? Does this song hold the record for having the greatest number of terrible covers? Listen to find out!

Continuing our conversation from last week, Albert and I tackle two videos from turn-of-the-century chill rap rock acts: Incubus's "Pardon Me" and Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Around The World."

We discuss the plausibilty of spontaneous combustication, ghost cunnilinggus, and which beach Sublime reminds us of.

In this episode, friend and fellow recovering 311 fan Albert Albanez visits the show to discuss and help dissect their 1999 music video, "Come Original."

We decry the band's craven decision to sell out by releasing albums, try to decide which song is their chillest, and Albert shares the story of his first time hearing the band.

Come surf these "serious California beach vibes" with That Awful Sound today! Also, please surf the "iTunes and Stitcher review vibes" if you have the chance.

Travis and Macky return (sort of) to help dissect three songs and music videos from iconic butt rockers Creed, Godsmack, and Puddle of Mudd.

We discuss the rampant persecution fantasies found in this theme, talk about the random slam dunks in the video for "What If," process Sully Erna's face accessories in "I Stand Alone," and wade through the bro tears in the comments section for "She Hates Me."

We also talk grunge-influenced songs we actually like, including Cracker's "Low," Silverchair's "Slave," Milk Music's "Illegal and Free," and Courtney Barnett's "History Eraser."
