Podelay: Guero, 2005

from The Pop Break · host Alex Marcus

This is Podelay, a podcast dedicated to alternative rock pioneer Beck Hansen! After completing their Pod of Doom series, Randy Allain (Media/Lit) and Justin Mancini (TheCineMaverick.com) are back to take on a whole new genre. Our resident music podcasters are joined by Kris Ingersoll of Batman by the Numbers and the Media/Lit podcast, and this time, Randy steps into the host chair so that Justin can discover something new.In the eighth episode, Justin, Kris, and Randy are joined by Doug Lief of Nostalgia Arcanum and Playing by Ear as they get back to Beck’s wide-ranging, eclectic rhythms. They offer thoughts on the religious connotations of scarecrows, stadium anthems that may (or may not) wear out their welcome, and the versatile voicework of one Christina Ricci. And as always, they recommend other artists for your listening pleasure.In every episode, each host will spotlight the following:·        Where It’s At: a track they really like.·        It’s A Loser, Baby: a track they don’t.·        Sing It Again: a favorite lyric.·        Such A Beautiful Way: a favorite musical moment.Join them as they travel to a destination a little up the road from the conversations and the pods you know. Please join us for the show that poses one simple question: I’m a podcast, baby, so why don’t you stream me?Host Picks: Where It’s At (A Song We Think Is Underrated or Just Really Like)Doug – Rental CarJustin – MissingKris – Qué Onda GueroRandy – Go It Alone It’s a Loser, Baby (A Song We Don’t Like So Much)Doug – Broken DrumJustin – E-Pro (qualified)Kris – Missing (qualified)Randy – Rental Car (qualified) Sing It Again (A Favorite Lyric)Doug – E-ProJustin – ScarecrowKris – Emergency ExitRandy – Hell Yes Such a Beautiful Way (A Favorite Musical Moment)Doug – Earthquake WeatherJustin – Earthquake WeatherKris – Earthquake WeatherRandy – Black Tambourine Other Artists We’ve Been Listening To:Doug – The Who, Led Zeppelin, The War on Drugs, The National, ShearwaterJustin – Jonny GreenwoodKris – Jimmy Eat WorldRandy – Harry Styles
