Episode 872: Alice Sweet Alice

The '86 Alice Cooper album "Constrictor" is a rather important effort. This album #17 (!) is a comeback album of sorts for Cooper. The shock rocker spent the 80s up to this point battling demons which resulted in some terrible records. This record showcased a clean, reinvigorated Alice. And the result was a masterpiece. And as for RAM, this album was basically our starting point in our Alice fandom. So this week we're giving this platter our "40th Anniversary Album Spotlight Series" treatment. We discuss how we discovered the album, it's importance in our lives and the hired guns behind the music. Like Kip Winger (!!) Then of course we do a track by track deep dive. Alice does indeed live here. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we binged the "Riot Women" BBC TV show. Musically, we crank some Midnight, Betsy (Bitch), Spectral Wound, Lead Injector, First Jason, Tyrant (US), Juggernaut and we introduce Chile's Night Savage in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!
