Filling out the clips sheet for our Outkast episode, and yup, this is still Discord & Rhyme.

A behind the scenes look at what happens when Ben Marlin gets reminded that @discordpod.bsky.social is a pro-prog podcast and he's part of it

Is there anything Janelle Monae CAN'T do?

It took nearly a year, but this morning, I completed a full(ish) chronological(ish) listen to all of the Frank Zappa in my collection. The full list is as follows:

Yeh Mera Dil Yaar Ka Diwana | Don | Amitabh Bachchan & Zeenat Aman | Asha Bhosle YouTube video by Zee Music Classic

This Asha Bhosle-sung track from the 1978 Bollywood gangster movie Don is a fuckin' jam.

The greatest to ever do it, next to her sister Lata Mangeshkar. These two were the voices of Bollywood for generations.

Truth.

It's hella good and hella weird

my favorite rush song

Am I the only who hears this song as a desperate cry for help

Discovered this yesterday by reading this excellent compilation of interviews with Andy Partridge about songs he wrote. jawbonepress.com/complicated-game/

Very true, we may have generalized a bit more than we intended. And listeners can learn a ton about the fascinating history of pre-Beatles rock music by listening to the podcast A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs by the great @andrewhickey.500songs.com.

Camaro Summer Podcast Episode · Beyond Yacht Rock 2000 · 8 July 2016 · 1h

The Beyond Yacht Rock podcast did an episode a while back that explored this concept in some detail!

@discordpod.bsky.social ever since a throwaway line in your Van Halen episode, I've been putting together a Playlist that I can only describe as 'Camaro music' - music meant to be blasted while driving a '73 red Camaro.

Rules are simple: hard cutoff of 1980, music that makes you want to speed. 1/

R.I.P. Joseph “Country Joe” McDonald, frontman of counterculture folk-rock icons Country Joe And The Fish. He wrote the Berkeley band’s most enduring songs including the Vietnam War protest anthem “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag” and “Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine,” a Hot 100 hit. McDonald was 84.

More songs should start like Monkey Gone to Heaven. "There was a guy." Ok I'm listening, what's this guy up to

If you are a music lover or a Van Halen fan, you should check this out. I love the discussion and musical references to earlier songs and artists.

You guys made a comment about flipping over the cassette in our Camarros, and it made me think in D&D terms:

Magic Camarro, Van Halen 1 stuck in the tape deck; cannot be removed. Grants advantage on attempts to outrun police.

That's good to know! We've pronounced "Davies" both ways all over the podcast because there seems to be very little rhyme or reason to it.
