Elvis Hips Censored

This podcast generally covers music and other transgressions. This month's episode is helmed by Prof. Tuffley with Dr. Rob Levy providing backup and Widgett on hand because every podcast needs a guy wearing an alarm clock around his neck.

This episode's central topic is: remember the good old days when music and musical shenanigans could shock you? Yeah, us neither. We also: new albums coming; festival lineups; mourning the losses of George Jones, Phil Ramone and Storm Thorgerson; music helping out with the situation in Boston; your Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bitchfest update and more.

Peter Sellers as James Bond

This podcast generally covers music and other transgressions. This month's episode is helmed by Dr. Rob Levy with Prof. Tuffley providing backup and Widgett on hand mostly to record it.

This episode's central topic is: fifty years of James Bond music...the good, the bad and A-ha. We also: mourn the loss of more music legends, update you on spring releases that interest us, wonder what Lil' Kim is up to, wonder if Guns n Roses will be covering Steve Martin's "Dentist" song, wonder who's handling Taylor Swift's fanmail, wonder who's going to back the animated Biggie show, wonder what's up with Carole King's musical, and then ponder a couple of instances of rock stars acting like...well, rock stars.

Real Genius: Popcorn Storm

This podcast generally covers music and other transgressions. This month's episode is run by Prof. Tuffley, stars Rob Levy and co-stars Widgett as the Beaver.

This episode's central topic is: the international release schedule. Why hasn't the industry figured out to just give the people what they want in a timely fashion? We explore it. Also, we look forward to 2013 and backward to our favorites from 2012. There's also a method for using Coachella to figure out the upcoming new release schedule. We also say goodbye to Dave Brubeck, discuss the retro futurism of Amazon's Auto Rip, wonder what Dr. Dre and Trent Reznor are getting up to, ponder the return to music of Justin Timberlake, ponder what the hell this Beyonce lip sync thing is all about, marvel at how Jonathan Coulton is kicking Glee's arse, and congratulate Adele for selling even more albums.

The Sound Board DragonCon 2012 Special: Britpop

Britpop by Pop Bakery

Recorded at DragonCon 2012, the three of us partnered with the Brit Media track for yet another iteration of this, a discussion of British music which roams (despite the attempt by special guest star Aaron Poole to keep us on topic) from place to place. Our fifth panelist and special guest star is Kim, who will attempt to keep us relatively mainstream.

As always, you have various and sundry table noises that we can't avoid because we were all seated at the table. And I have no idea where the damn interference is coming from. And we apologize in advance for any questions you can't hear. Also, please note: some sort of interference occurred for a few seconds around thirty minutes in that would have made you bleed from the ears, so we had to lose that short bit.

Eardrum Wasteland

Recorded at DragonCon 2012, the three of us partnered with the Apocalypse Rising track to come up with this, in essence an hour-long discussion of the post-apocalyptic sub-overarching-genre of music--with plenty in the realm of playlists suggestions as well.

Please excuse the echoey nature of the chamber we were in as well as the various and sundry table noises we couldn't get away from because, well, we were seated at the table. And we apologize in advance for any questions you can't hear. We keep making notes to repeat questions but we have Memento Syndrome.

Update: Tuffley's special playlist for the occasion can be found here.

Your regular Sound Board mayhem will return in October.

Michael Madsen from Reservoir Dogs

This podcast generally covers music and other transgressions. This month's episode stars Prof. Tuffley and Rob Levy with Widgett in the pilot's seat, crashing into buildings more often than not.

This episode's central topic is name changes. What do they mean and do we even care? We also discuss the latest in live music, including what God has against Lollapalooza, what London has against Bruce Springsteen, and why you would attend a festival on a boat. In addition, we discuss the Olympics, punching Bieber and remember Kitty Wells.
