Only Three Lads - Classic Alternative Music Podcast

Happy Birthday, Bueno!  Let your freak flag fly.   This episode, we celebrate the one word man known as Bueno, and our top one word bands of the O3L era.  One word bands - lazy...or just plain resourceful?  You make the call.  Join Bueno, Brett & Uncle Gregg as the musical archaeologists make some important excavations.  Wooooo-eeeee!  Plus, the Lads have some sage advice for the youngins out there: Crime DOES pay, kids!*   * The producers of Only Three Lads do not actually endorse nor condone criminal activity.  We just play hardened street thugs on a podcast, that's all.   Learn more about your ad choices.

You're gonna have to face it...you're addicted to O3L.  And that's OK, because we're here to give you your weekly fix.  Yeah, we're enablers.  This episode, we hop in the Delorean and set the Flux Capacitor for 1985.  Aside from discussing some of the greatest alternative music ever created, Uncle Gregg gives us a taste of movie cheese, Brett reveals his obvious mastery of a Dutch accent, and Bueno?!?  Well, let's just say you have to hear it to believe it.  So, pour yourself a Double Palmer and stay awhile!  Learn more about your ad choices.

THE ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER!  In this episode, the lads count down the songs of the past that sound like the future...or something like that.  That's right, we're talking about our top synth pop songs of the O3L era, and it's a fun 'un!   Now, kids, generally we pride ourselves on running a family friendly show, but this is the first podcast in history to garner an 'Explicit' rating for hard hitting discussions about robot prostitutes, The Great Gazoo, and Metal Mickey (seriously, does nobody but Brett watch that masterpiece??).  But don't fact check us on that, because there are some pretty freaky-deeky podcasts out there.  Boogie boogie!

Ahh, parting is such sweet sorrow.  (Because we're basically on the same level as Shakespeare, we can quote him.)  Sometimes a band or artist's swan song is tragic.  Sometimes it's a real stinker.  Sometimes it's pure magic...and that's what is discussed on this episode of O3L.  Bueno, Brett and Uncle Gregg count down their Top 5 Final Albums of the classic alternative era, and it's a humdinger.  Will we have our second triple crossover on this show?  Guess you'll have to listen to find out!  Plus, Bueno shares a very special message of LOVE that you do not want to miss.  Trust us.   Learn more about your ad choices.

So there was this one time when Uncle Gregg was at a pool party with The Cranberries...   Join Brett, Uncle Gregg and Bueno for a ride back to 1995, as they run through their Top 5 alternative albums from that halcyon days of yore.  As Charles Nelson Reilly might have said in 1995, it's a real blank in the blankety blank!     21 Episodes.  Three Jokers.  Thanks for joining us on this journey!

OK, so are we going address the gorilla in the room?  No, seriously, are we?  In this episode, the lads count down their Top 5 Artists from those heady years of 1974-79, and Bueno pays tribute to his late friend, legendary DJ Jack Armstrong.  It's a fine line between insight and insanity, as we always say over here at O3L headquarters.  Actually, this is the first time we've ever said that, but we'll remember it for the next time we want to say it.  Kiss my grits!   Learn more about your ad choices.

Oi! Episode 19 of Oi-3-L celebrates those subversive '80s punk records. And fair warning...we get pretty topical in this episode, giving the ol' two finger salute to a number of the things that have been bugging us. Rotary phones. Shampoo commercials. Lily Tomlin. LILY TOMLIN! Yeah, I guess you could say we're really stickin' it to the man. Cuz we're punks and all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey Moondoggie, let's hop into the O3L Woody and hit the beach!  Tune in your AM dial* to the sweet sounds of O3L, as Dr. Brett**, Uncle Gregg, and Bueno discuss their Top 5 Summer Songs from the golden age of alternative.  It's a totally tubular ride that covers all of the summer essentials - fun in the sun, classic tunes, Slurpees, and Bob Dole.  Hang five (top five, that is)!   * Oh, if you're using an AM radio, you won't actually find O3L.   ** Brett is not a real doctor, but plays one on O3L.  Do not consult him for any actual medical advice, if you value your life.
