Certain Songs #1121: Meat Puppets – “Look at the Rain”

February 5, 2018 by Jim Connelly

Album: Huevos
Year: 1987

Confession time: I’m not nearly as up on the Meat Puppets as I probably should be. I listened to all of their 80s post-Up on the Sun albums at KFSR, but I didn’t buy any, opting to go with 1990s No Strings Attached compilation instead.

And while I did try their post Nirvana Unplugged records Too High to Die and No Joke nothing really stuck with me, and I remember reading a really sad article about Cris Kirkwood’s subsequent battle with heroin, a battle that he eventually won, after which I tried 2009’s —
and really enjoyed 2009’s Sewn Together.

Certain Songs #1120: Meat Puppets – “Up On The Sun”

February 4, 2018 by Jim Connelly

Album: Up On The Sun
Year: 1985

The mid-1980s at SST Records was really something, wasn’t it?

First off, all of their bands had amazing names — my absolute favorite was Blind Idiot God — and secondly (and yeah, more importantly), they had a bunch of bands that were taking punk rock in myriad directions.

Here’s just a few of the now-legendary names that graced their labe: Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, Dinosaur Jr, and of course, the Meat Puppets, who went from sheer sonic madness to spacey psychedelia in the course of just a couple of record.

Medialoper Bebop Episode 23: Zen Arcane

November 18, 2011 by Jim Connelly

This week, Tim, & Jim and a very yelly Kirk tackle the following subjects:

First, in a brand-new segment entitled “Explain it to Kirk,” Tim & Jim explain the Twilight phenomenon to Kirk. (3:35 – 8:50)

Then, it’s reported death of the Compact Disc, which — according to some reports — is going to be abandoned by the major labels as soon as the end of this year. (08:53 – 18:00)

Here’s the chart we’re talking about in the podcast:

Also, iTunes Match has been launched, and we debate whether or not it’s worth shelling out $25.00 a year for. The answer may surprise you, though probably not if you’ve ever listened to our podcast. (18:13 – 26:10)

Once again, Medialoper Bebop Commissioner Gordon Loper harasses us with a phone message. And to spite him, you should probably follow us on Facebook. (26:11 – 28:07)

Finally, it’s a very deep look at a very deep album, Hüsker Dü’s landmark Zen Arcade, as it is inducted into the Medialoper Bebop Great Albums Hall of Fame. (27:22 – 47:58)
