Episodes

Barry and Rob get in the car with the late Lewis Allan Reed, “Lou”, and drive up and down the dirty boulevard of NYC in 1989, and visit the street scenes and apartment-dwelling vignettes strikingly captured in song. We decided that there was too much on this album to get right in one episode, so we're splitting it into two. Part two of two. trgmh33@gmail.com http://thatrecordgotmehigh.com

The massive and monstrous beast that changed the landscape of popular music – whether you know it or not – “Metal Box” by PIL and its US incarnation “Second Edition” get That Record Got Me High’s attention in Episode 14. Also: Barry’s knowledge of Coleridge gets put to the test and he fails completely, to the shock of no one.

Two dudes who have never been to Akron, Ohio attempt to assess the musical prowess of one Chrissie Hynde and her original Pretenders. It's a sordid saga of Tattooed Love Boys and the baaaaad things they do to girls of age on quaaludes in the early 1970s. Besides the Hell's Angels there are some amazing songs of tenderness. But then, there's some more brutality, too. No teeth were harmed in the making of this podcast. Email us @ trgmh33@gmail.com or catch us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.co...

“Bruno” and “Ricky” beat up a perfectly nice record from 1988 to try and get some money to go to the track. Patty Hearst shows up with a gun and a beret and mows them down. Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart by Camper Van Beethoven is rescued by Tania, and Life Is Grand.

Hello Jello et Co. from That Record Got Me High Podcast. Rob and Barry and their cantankerous…recording equipment(!) get a load of 1982's Plastic Surgery Disasters by Dead Kennedys. Contrary to what's said in the podcast we did hear back from Alternative Tentacles, but we didn't cross the threshold of necessity, and Jello will be providing commentary elsewhere.

The late Stuart Adamson's & Co's heavily Scottish-sounding and -feeling Big Country debut gets abused by three “Florida Man” candidates in our tenth episode. We try and wrap our heads around the elusive and apparently historical lyrical subject matter, while marveling at their innovative musical sound and high level of musicianship.

The first three-person voyage into the inky blackness of That Record Got Me High commences with Brian Franklin, long-time Smiths fan, songwriter and worthy adversary for the grizzled boneheads Rob and Barry. We light the unreliable engines and streak skyward on a rocket with Morrissey's coiffed visage painted on the nosecone, and Johnny Marr's programs at the helm. Place your bets on whether we crash and burn, and give us your unvarnished feedback at trgmh33@gmail.com or https://www.facebook.com...

Just clever enough? Too clever? What is he talking about? Mark E. Smith as PR Rep? All The Old Dudes (two of them) get on each other's nerves about this week's solid gold piece of ancient history, Pavement's "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain". Tongues are bitten and sidelong glances are exchanged, all in front of a live audience at The Beavis and Butthead War Memorial Auditorium. Grab a beer, the show's about to start.

The beloved fuck-ups from Minneapolis, The Replacements, get a full-body rub down and unwanted proctological exam from the TRGMH podcast hosts, one of whom is a big fan. Their major label debut, Tim, is the growth we discovered, and whether it is malignant or benign...you'll just have to listen and see. No actual Replacements were harmed, or even touched during the making of TRGMH. Hit us up or just hit us @ trgmh33@gmail.com or on FB @ facebook.com/ThatRecordGotMeHigh/ http://ThatRecordGotMeHig...

The two-headed wildebeest that is TRGMH podcasts hosts each grab half of Magazine's classic, underrated, under-heard, Russian literature-influenced "The Correct Use of Soap" and pull hard, revealing the dystopian, Kafka-esque lyrical content within.

A somewhat contentious offering from the ambiguously dynamic duo of Rob and Barry, this week the electron microscope aims at Hüsker Dü's fourth album, their last on SST Records. There is no flying fur, per se, but the hosts do have different perspectives on this slab of classic wax and – believe you me – they let you know. www.facebook.com/ThatRecordGotMeHigh/ trgmh33@gmail.com http://ThatRecordGotMeHigh.com

This week's submarine voyage plumbs the depths of a somewhat lesser-known gem, the first album by LA's The Dream Syndicate, "The Days of Wine and Roses". It's heavily influenced by The Velvet Underground, an influence they would eschew on their second album, The Medicine Show. www.facebook.com/ThatRecordGotMeHigh/ trgmh33@gmail.com http://ThatRecordGotMeHigh.com

Our first episode! That Record Got Me High takes on the elephant in the 1997 room, Radiohead's groundbreaking and profoundly influential masterpiece, OK Computer. Rob and Barry go head to head with mixed drinks and opinionated commentary. This episodes intro music provided via Quin's 8Bit "Let Down" and outro music by 8-Bit Sound's "Cross The Breeze". www.facebook.com/ThatRecordGotMeHigh/ trgmh33@gmail.com http://ThatRecordGotMeHigh.com

In our second episode we approach the last of the great 80s indie double albums, Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation", in the trilogy of Hüsker Dü's "Zen Arcade" and The Minutemen's "Double Nickels On The Dime". This episodes intro music provided via 8-Bit Sound's "Cross The Breeze" and outro music by a slightly sleepy Aleister Crowley devotee. www.facebook.com/ThatRecordGotMeHigh/ trgmh33@gmail.com http://ThatRecordGotMeHigh.com

The third album we tackle with our wit, aplomb and effusive charm is the late great David Bowie's "Hunky Dory", and that it is. It's the first appearance of the fledgling Spiders From Mars with help from Rick Wakeman on keys and a cover of a song first recorded by Tiny Tim(!) Crowley, Nietzsche and metaphysical concerns loom large, as do tributes to Andy, Bob and Lou. www.facebook.com/ThatRecordGotMeHigh/ trgmh33@gmail.com http://ThatRecordGotMeHigh.com
