This week, we close out our coverage of the two self-titled Fleetwood Mac albums with side 2 of each LP, where the 1968 album sputters out a bit, but the 1975 album rolls out some of its most legendary songs, like "Landslide" and "World Turning." #MusicSky

Chris Frain@ckfrain.bsky.social · 2d ago@discordpod.bsky.social @tarkus1980.bsky.social Finally got to listen to the Fleetwoods Mac episode. I’ll admit that I did not have an “Olias of Sunhillow” reference on my bingo card. 🤣 I did have a Fajita Roundup reference right there in the middle, though.

@discordpod.bsky.social I recall someone (probably on the PGIII episode) describing how they were shocked that the Peter Gabriel they imagine. having heard Red Rain, was not an older, wizard like character, declaiming from on high, but was in fact Peter Gabriel. It made me chuckle. Anyway…1/2

What awful news. L7 is a band that deserves to be 1000x better known than they are. Finch was one of rock’s most effortless badasses. Here she is breaking a bass string mid song in front of a giant festival crowd, and immediately segueing into a tumbling routine. youtu.be/HpWOSptriZ4?...

This album feels like Tom Waits taking his true form for the first time, even if he isn't quite using the Waits Voice yet.

My journey of listening to the Miles Davis and John Coltrane discographies in chronological order has brought me to Kind of Blue, and hearing it in this context is reinforcing to me that it completely deserves all of its accolades and high reputation.
Radiohead was named after a story Stephen Tobolowsky told David Byrne about having psychic powers while in college. That became the song “Radio Head” from True Stories. Then when EMI asked newly signed band On A Friday to change their terrible name, they went with Radiohead, after the song.
Bloody hell. When I was in high school, I watched that show every week like it was my job. It's the only reason I had any musical taste at all at that age. Thank you, Dave, for everything.
Phil Nobile Jr.@philnobilejr.bsky.social · 3w ago120 MINUTES was an absolute oasis in pre-internet pop culture. So many bands that you could ONLY find there (TV-wise) became ubiquitous online later (and relatively recently). A pioneer. consequence.net/2026/07/dave...
Wait until you hear Al covering Harvey Danger, Smash Mouth, Matchbox 20, and Marcy Playground in the next medley!
Beach Boys are the GOAT@beachboysgoat.bsky.social · 3w agoAl covered a Mt Rushmore worth of bands I hate. His versions are far superior IMO. And gun to my head, I would NEVER have thought Ben would like Soundgarden.
In our latest episode, we close out our coverage of Weird Al's "The Alternative Polka" with angsty anthems from Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden, the return of America's brother-in-law Anthony Kiedis, and a song that Rivers Cuomo stole from this medley — so we're stealin' it back! #MusicSky

One of the many things to love about AC/DC is that they had a megahit album that started with real bells so for the follow-up they said "what's next? I guess... cannons?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBM1...
