Rock Out Loud

Kristin and Steve are back together for the marathon for CURE. It’s an epic sized Rock Out Loud as Steve and Kristin kick off the reunion with talk of all kinds of things. Then it’s the meat of the episode. With the recent news that My Chemical Romance is going on tour for the first time in years, it seemed only fitting that we celebrate by breaking down the most iconic of their albums. Steve is all new to it, and Kristin is a fan from way back so the discussion is what a Rock Out Loud discussion always is frank, fun, and (at times) fanatical. There’s still time to donate to CURE at www.geekoutonline.com/cure until February 23, 2020. Help us meet our goal of $5000 this year and look for more Rock Out Loud later in the year.

Kristin and Steve watch the 2000 Cameron Crowe film ALMOST FAMOUS, and they talk the whole time! So..you can either grab your copy and watch along or you can just listen and pretend you are watching. They cover everything from the vocals of Stillwater to the pronunciation of Frances McDormand. It’s Kristin’s favorite movie and one Steve has only recently discovered. We hope you enjoy as the crew celebrates 20 years of Almost Famous.

Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness On The Edge of Town turns 40 this month, and of course Kristin and Steve are going to celebrate! The pair break down the album song by song and though the message of many of the songs is somber, this doesn’t keep our duo from having some fun. Get ready to go on a trip through a factory town while racing in the streets, trying to find and keep love, all while looking for the Promised Land. The Boss, first ballot ROL Hall of Famer, takes center stage on Rock Out Loud!

Kristin has returned from travelling across the world. Of course she’s seen some shows and done some things. So she and Steve hang out, play some tunes, and talk about life in recent months. They also talk about the trailer for Bohemian Rhapsody (the new Freddi Mercury/Queen biopic to be released in November) which leads into discussions about other biopics, music documentaries, and other shenanigans. It’s a classic hang session with Kristin and Steve on ROCK OUT LOUD!

Steve and Kristin celebrate Valentine’s Day in perfect Rock Out Loud fashion – by playing sad songs of hopeless darkness. And they have a great time doing it! Steve’s wife even chimes in with her own list at one point. It’s a fun trek into sad songs.
