The Wet Bandits Podcast

Third Worst Sophomore Album of the 90's -- Silverchair, Freak Show

In this episode Mike forgets to hit record for, like, the tenth time--prompting Mike and Sam to wish for a producer.  They name the third worst sophomore album of the 90's--Silverchair's "Freak Show"--and they dump on the fact that Silverchair rips off so many other musicians' riffs and hooks.

Also, Sam pledges to buy listeners breakfast at McDonalds if you make it to the end of the episode.

Fourth Best/Worst Sophomore Albums of the 90's

In this episode, Mike and Sam check out the fourth best and fourth worst sophomore albums of the 90's. The disappointment of Candlebox's Lucy.  The triumph of Rage Against the Machine's Evil Empire.  The joy of having your first friend who could drive.  Mike says "again" and "god-awful" about 45 times each. 

We also answer the tough questions, like: what is the ONE song you would wipe from existence, if you had the chance?  

This album features extra-hot intro and outro music from Sam, too!

Fifth Best/Worst Sophomore Albums of the 90's!

In the opener to the second season of the glorious Wet Bandits Podcast, Mike and Sam discuss their new toys and the new ways to watch/listen to the podcast, which musician they would steal powers from, and how disappointed Mike is that Sam has never seen T2.  Oh, and they'll discuss the fifth best and worst sophomore albums of the 90's.

Kevin Brennan/"Be Here Now"

In the final episode of the season, Kevin (The Fair Weathered), Mike, and Sam wrap up their Oasis discussion with "Be Here Now", Mike mispronounces the word "reprise" with shocking disregard, and the guys cover some of your favorite "family bands".

Kevin Brennan/"(What's The Story) Morning Glory?

This week, Mike, Sam, and Kevin (from The Fair Weathered) continue their discussion of 90's releases from Oasis.  This week is the band's sophomore and, likely, most famous release: (What's The Story) Morning Glory?  Kevin and Mike nearly come to blows over "She's Electric".

Sam Baird/"Aenima"

In this week's episode, Sam and Mike discuss Sam's experience (or lack thereof) at this year's Rock on the Range, the merits (or lack thereof) of the idea that all good music was made while the creators were on drugs and, last but not least, Tool's 1996 release: Aenima.  Lots of great, LONG, music clips--just as Tool intended!

Corrinne Ward/"Tragic Kingdom"

In this week's episode, Mike sits down with his wife, Corrinne, to talk about her favorite 90's album: No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom".  Again, lots of music clips in this one as both parties are surprised by the number of singles that were release from this album.  They also talk about the greatest rock and roll couples of all time and how to properly (musically) educate a newborn baby.
