Podioslave Podcast

In our 62nd episode, the pod talks all things album artwork. We dig into the good, the bad, the bizarre, and also albums that get enhanced by the the whole artwork presentation. Can a great sounding album be ruined by bad artwork? Is Tool’s use of visual artist Alex Grey a cheat code? Is Green Day’s ‘Dookie’ the best album cover of all time? Or perhaps AFI’s ‘The Art of Drowning’? What in the world were Papa Roach thinking with the ‘lovehatetragedy’ artwork? We attempt to answer all these and many more in this episode. We open this episode with: a reaction to the recent news of Kurt Cobain’s hair going to auction (#weirdnerdery) and a reaction to the “secret” hardcore show that just took place under the 110 Freeway in Los Angeles about a week ago with 2,000 people.

In our 61st episode, the pod picks a half dozen classic songs from the 70s, 80s, and 90s and brings to the table who we’d love to hear do a proper studio cover of said song. In true Podioslave fashion, no genre is off limits — this episode proves that more than ever. This was a fun one, as we all dig deep into our collective nerd brains to re-imagine classic songs under another artist’s creative lens. Like U2? Snoop Dogg? Bruce? Every Time I Die? Bon Iver? Cake? Beastie Boys? The Distillers? If yes, we’ve got you covered. Pun intended. We open this episode with: a reaction to Glenn Danzig’s comments about a punk explosion not being able to happen in this day and age and a reaction to Ticketmaster’s latest shenanigans as concerts start to make a comeback.

In our 60th episode, the pod revisits a couple classic albums celebrating 20 year anniversaries this year — with a twist. We take a look back at Blink 182’s ‘Take Off Your Pants and Jacket’ and System of a Down’s ‘Toxicity’ — and reimagine how these albums would’ve landed with reduced tracks, re-arranged sequence, etc. We open this episode with a look back and reflection on our last 3 interviews.

In our 59th episode, we’re joined by the one and only, Frank Turner. We talk a little about Frank’s come up, starting with Million Dead and then the transition to his prolific solo career. We also get into how busy he’s been during the pandemic, with various live streams, a socially distanced show for the UK government, and what it means to Frank to be in a room playing music for people, no matter the size. This was a wonderful conversation, please enjoy!

We talk Kat’s artistic and musical come up, her entry into the music industry, the current state of music, and her love for Con Air/Jimmy Eat World/Every Time I Die, among others!

In our 55th episode, the pod dives into band members turned solo acts. Similar to last week’s episode, we ask all the questions we want answers to. Why do band members go solo? Is it long lived? How do the fans react? Jack White, Frank Turner, City and Colour, Chris Cornell, Jason Isbell, and Dashboard Confessional get the nod this week. Other topics include: Are shows secretly coming back? (according to Ticketmaster they are), are concerts on wheels here to stay?, and a reaction to Spotify’s recent Loud and Clear initiative. If you like what you hear, please rate, subscribe, and share!

Episode 54: Side Projects are Key! In our 54th episode, the pod dives into a number of artists side projects. Why do side projects start? Do they typically last? If they don’t, why is that?
