HeyJaredBeck Did It Better
We are going through the top 500 Albums according to Rolling Stone magazine. We talk about each album and we also give dating advice to our single friend. So far the advice has been bad enough that we are still recording on Friday nights.

Beck Does it Again! John Lennon: Imagine (1971) orig aired (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rubs eyes. Oh man... where am I? I thought today was sept 9th! Its the day Lennon released this album. This has one of my favorite parody songs and a lot of jokes about women I love making love to people who aren't me. This episode made me laugh made me what to go to Vegas. We get the origins of East St. Paul, and the origins of Aaron's weird relationship with his car dealer. The bleeped joke was "loose slots" I hated that I remembered that.
Outkast: Speakerboxx/The Love Below (2003) ep. 290 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Listen. This is a great album and all. There is some funny stuff here in the middle and at the end but mainly, we get to hear a record buying list from Aaron and it is exactly what you think it would be. We talk breweries, the importanance of visiting friends, how Rob is dealing with his Cpap. Then we give some more showering tips and do a list that Russell does NOT like. Next week we have Destiny's Child: The Writing's on the Wall
A TRIBUTE TO DOLLY PARTON (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We replay all the times we talked Dolly Parton on the podcast and then replay our Coat of Many Colors episod
Björk: Post (1995) ep. 289 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've driven through the mountain passes of Iowa to bring you this episode about Björk's 2nd album Post. We head out to the field of dreams, get expensive tickets to a game, and Aaron has a car dealer say "Please leave me alone." Then we go over more of our favorite cereals and don't talk about nearly as many mining accidents as we did last week. So put on your latex and meet us next week when we check out an underground album called Speakerboxxx/ Love Below by Outkast. (kind of)
The Modern Lovers: The Modern Lovers (1976) ep. 288 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
FROM ROLLING STONE: Jonathan Richman moved from Boston to New York as a teenager in hopes of sleeping on Lou Reed’s couch. That influence shows on the two-chord anthem “Roadrunner.” Recorded in 1972 but not released until 1976, Lovers turned the tough sounds of the Velvets into an ode to suburban romanticism. “Rock & roll was about stuff that was natural,” Richman said. “I wasn’t about drugs and space.” Songs like “Pablo Picasso,” “Girl Friend,” and “Dignified and Old” touched generations of pun
