play

03/19/22 • 88 min

As teens growing up in Summit, New Jersey in the late 70s, NY Punk Godfather Jack Rabid (Big Takeover Magazine) and his likeminded friends would sneak off to Manhattan to catch shows by the exciting new bands and punk legends they were reading about. Even at 17 they knew Johnny Thunders and his Heartbreakers were something special, and the blistering live document 'Heartbreakers Live at Max's Kansas City' is a prime example of why they rarely missed a show. "I don't know why you just don't... Let go!"

That Record Got Me High Podcast - S6E268 - Andy Partridge 'Take Away / The Lure of Salvage' with Kevin Chanel
play

01/07/23 • 72 min

Strap-in for this one, XTC fans: Record/Hot Sauce purveyor Kevin Chanel (Grooves Inspiralled Vinyl/El Enojado Hot Sauce) brings us a curious musical oddity called 'Take Away / The Lure of Salvage', the 1980 debut record by XTC frontman Andy Partridge a.k.a. Mr Partridge! Consisting basically of dub remixes/rewrites of tracks originally recorded by Partridge's band XTC - and Co-produced with John Leckie - it's a weirdly confounding, highly experimental slab that challenges at every turn.

The Reno, NV band 7 Seconds were a big part of this awakening, and their blistering 1982 7" E.P. 'Skins, Brains & Guts' is a record that STILL gets him high!

That Record Got Me High Podcast - S6E325 - Nick Drake 'Bryter Layter with Paul Chastain
play

12/23/23 • 68 min

When English singer/songwriter Nick Drake released his ambitious second album - 'Bryter Layter' - in 1971, he all-but-squashed any chance of commercial success by failing to promote it. Three years later the troubled artist was gone. This week's guest, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Paul Chastain (Velvet Crush, The Small Square), helps us unpack this evocative collection of songs featuring musical backing by members of Fairport Convention, The Beach Boys and John Cale among others. Essential listening.

Songs discussed in this episode: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan Cover) - Nick Drake; Hold Me Up - Velvet Crush; Twenty-Third - The Small Square; Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys; Rosie - Fairport Convention; Holocaust - Big Star; Introduction, Hazey Jane II, From The Morning, At The Chime Of A City Clock - Nick Drake; Forever Instant - Lou Barlow (Sentridoh); One Of These Things First - Nick Drake; All I Want To Do - The Beach Boys; Pink Moon, Hazey Jane I - Nick Drake; Heartbeats-Jose Gonzalez; Bryter Layter, The Fly - Nick Drake; Stephanie Says - The Velvet Underground; Poor Boy - Nick Drake; Marianne - Leonard Cohen; Northern Sky, Sunday - Nick Drake; It'll Take A Long Time - Sandy Denny; Baby Face - The Small Square

That Record Got Me High Podcast - S5E216 - Tom Lehrer 'More of Tom Lehrer' with Jeff Greenstein
play

03/26/22 • 69 min

Emmy-winning writer Jeff Greenstein (Friends, Will & Grace, Parenthood, Desperate Housewives) knows a thing or two about comedy. So it's no surprise that a record that got HIM high as a young impressionable adolescent ALSO made him laugh. A lot. The songs on 'More of Tom Lehrer' by singer-songwriter/satirist Tom Lehrer combine wickedly-clever wordplay with an absurdist - at times dark - sense of humor that clearly influenced Jeff's future work. "And we will all go together when we go..."

Songs featured in this episode: I'll Be There For You (Theme from 'Friends') - The Rembrandts; Sail Away - Randy Newman; Country Song (Pandering) - Bo Burnham; Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, Bright College Days, National Brotherhood Week - Tom Lehrer; Stein Song - Rudy Vallee; Homeward Bound - Tufts Beelzebubs; Land Of The Glass Pinecones - Human Sexual Response; A Christmas Carol - Tom Lehrer; O Tannenbaum - Vince Guaraldi Trio; The Elements - Tom Lehrer; I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General - Gilbert & Sullivan; Oedipus Rex, In Old Mexico, Clementine - Tom Lehrer; Clementine - Jan & Dean; It Makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier, She's My Girl - Tom Lehrer; Rockaway Beach - Ramones; Crazy - R.E.M.; Venus In Furs - The Velvet Underground; The Masochism Tango - Tom Lehrer; Kiss Of Fire - Caterina Valente; We Will All Go Together When We Go - Tom Lehrer; My Bologna - Weird Al Yankovic; Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life - Eric Idle; We Will All Go Together When We Go - Red Leicester Choir

Returning guest, artist/musician Beatriz 'Betty' Monteavaro wears her 80s heart on her sleeve. For this episode, she again set the controls for 1981 and brought a record that melded Burundi beats, spaghetti westerns, Native American imagery (and some questionable cultural appropriation) into the campy one-of-a-kind chart-topper "Kings of the Wild Frontier" by Adam and the Ants. "You might not like us now, but you will!" Spotify episode playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7IBmGTf9fFSpUSsYlEnCHy?si=761f58a250f84d83

That Record Got Me High Podcast - S2E71 – The Stranglers – “Black and White”
play

08/03/19 • 68 min

With the cancellation of a guest due to a case of having to go to banjo camp (NOT a euphemism), Rob Elba and Barry Stock grabbed this one off the shelf, an album that ought to be in YOUR collection if it's not. The Stranglers are singular, weird, perfect, a force of nature – just not an entirely benevolent one. Four aural sculptors, five fucking stars.
