Beck Did It Better

Get out your Guiness book of world records and join us at your favorite resatraunt as us four YOUNG guys hang out and talk about young things like customer service, showing up to things early, and what you do when your phone is terrible and doesnt just do what it is SUPPOSED TO DO EVEN THOUGH IT COST 1000 Bucks.  Then we have a list of the best bands with Twins and then we talk about this fun band where every song is a slight...

Listen, 

This album rips. It's so good that I had to reach out and BEG our guest to come on. Jon loves all things guitar and so I had to bring him on to talk about Eddie and the boys and literally his boy later in the band's life. 

And what a life that was. I knew more about Van Halen and its members than any band ever. Thats crazy when you think about it. 

We discover a new thing Aaron is into and then hear him s...

Listen, we can tell you all about our favorite watches or some mystery shoes that we sent to us in the mail but this episode has the biggest news that (thus far) has been dropped on the podcast ever. Its so big, I am going to release a second episode this week that is just Russ's Rolling going. 

We talk Destiny's Child and Beyonce and the perils of going against her online or even if you are in Destiny's Child itself.  ...

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 hate...

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...

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 undergro...

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 ...

Hey everyone, 

Look out for those bedposts this week as we talk a Faux British invasion and we go deep underground for the Byrds/ Bob Dylan mash up of Hey Mr. Tambourine Man. We talk going up to Alaska, barfing on a boat, getting your fiber and why Hublots just plain blow on this three man weave of an episode. 

Then we turn up the treble and listen to this divisive album while also talking about the biggest mining disas...

In 1994 on this day Biggie married Faith Evans and very little else happened on that date so this is the ep you are getting while we finish up our summers. To be honest, I have no idea if this is any good or not but it is episode 22 which is very funny unless you understand the concept of aging. 

Enjoy.  If you hate this, you will really hate beckdiditbetter.com

802 277 BECK and the voicemail is NOT full. That is a rum...

Today we are talking big life changes by way of when you get better at baseball, and then we talk a LOT of baseball before Rob shares the horrors of the plane ride over. Then we chat about the best songs about handiwork, and we sample the wondrous (and glowing) Mountain Dew Donut by Kwik Trip. 

Then we get our bong di biddie bing bong on with another Rick Rubin joint (stop selling crypto) and talk about a banger of an album th...

Russ is on load management so we have very special guest, Magic Mike 69 to talk about Frank Sinatra, his phrasing, and the first concept album ever. It's basically like when adult stars have sex with their fans except it would be like our fans are better at having sex on camera. 

Think about it. 

We talk what (not) to say to your daughter's prom dates, adult social anxiety, Beck being on tour, and Mike's piano journey. T...

Russ is on his two-game suspension for not laughing enough at my jokes, so it is just the menage a tois of the other three, and, much like a gas, we expand to fill the space. We finally talk about sidecars, we do some more random clips, and Matt gives Rob some texting etiquette.  Then Rob sees Madonna and has a New York night. 

The we talk early electronic music and the queen of disco, Donna Summer, from her start in Ger...
