And now for a little player hating… Radiohead Edition
So if you haven’t listened to our most recently released episode (and you definitely should), the topic of discussion was music. I went ahead and listed Radiohead as one of the most overrated bands ever. Anyways, I found this blog post by Dave Lartigue that expresses some thoughts about Radiohead that are similar to mine, and puts them into words more eloquently than I could manage. I liked this quote:
I also admit that I have a bad habit of letting something’s fans detract from my enjoyment of the thing itself, and Radiohead fans are extremely…vocal. Apparently you can’t be into Radiohead halfway. You’re either in it to win it or you’re an idiot with no musical taste who should go back to listening to N’Sync. So that could be a big part of it. After all, there are very few bands that could, to me, hold up to the kind of rabid word-of-mouth that Radiohead’s gotten.
also I liked this part.
Whatever the reason, I need to brace myself. They’ve got a new album coming out soon, and advance word is that it’s a work of genius which can cure cancer and end world hunger.
Anyway, check it out here at the excellent blog, “Dave Ex Machina”
Episode 4 -”The Music Show” Bombast Podcast
You’ve waited for it, and here it is: Episode 4. This is the music episode, and Phil and Matt discuss many things, from the question of whether or not the Kinks was the first punk band, the most underrated, and the most overrated bands, R.E.M. breaking up, R.E.M. vs The Clash, and New Jersey’s favorite musical sons, Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen. If you make it to the end you’ll also get to hear the Carrot Cheesecake story. Comments, questions, and complaints about the show can be directed to bombastpodcast@hotmail.com.

(In the episode we refer to this as episode 3, but I swear, it is episode 4!)
Bombast Podcast Episode 3 “Bombast At The Movies!”
I have exciting news! Episode 3 of the podcast is out! This episode is Episode 3 -”Bombast at the Movies: The Thing with Janine” We discuss the recent movie “The Thing” based on the older movie from director John Carpenter. We also discuss a lot of other stuff. I think the episode is pretty appropriate for Halloween weekend. This is actually episode 4, because Phil and I recorded another episode, but that one will probably be the next one I release. So anyway, episode 4 became episode 3. (Not that anyone cares, I’m sure.)
