Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
from Somebody Likes It Hosted by Shane Bartell
Hello everyone, so nice to see you all again! Allow me to welcome you to Round 3 of “Somebody Likes It”, wherein your three hosts gather in Kevin’s garage and try not to die from heat stroke. It’s summer time in Austin Texas, and for some unknown reason, not one of us remembered that without an air conditioner in Kevin’s garage, things were bound to get a little steamy. And I don’t mean like in a Sexy Movie way. Even leaving the beer fridge open was no help. At one point I almost lost an arm when it stuck to recording table. For our third episode, we decided to tackle “Rumors” by Fleetwood Mac. At first glance it seemed kind of an odd choice to me (Ryan’s turn to choose), but when I was listening to it I realized that so many of the songs had become like wall paper to me. Their ubiquitous nature had removed any emotion from them. However, this is one of the bestselling records of all time. At 40 million sold (and counting) somebody really fucking likes this. I think we all came to the realization that the back story was pretty important to a lot of those songs, and by extension, a lot of those sales. Things are starting to click a little better in the (hot) garage. We all feel like we’re starting to get the hang of how to keep the show moving, and not get bogged down in tangents as much. We’re still figuring out some of the audio stuff, but that’s getting better every week too. By next week, that stuff should be mostly sorted out. Purchase Rumours on Amazon ### Coming Up ### Oh, and speaking of next week, it’s gonna be a doozy. It was my week to choose, and I made Kevin and Ryan listen to Bon Jovi’s “Slippery when Wet”. Let’s just say it was worse than I thought it would be: their responses to my choice, as well as the record itself. It’s bad, really bad. Really really bad. See you next week…
