[said in College Jerome voice] Get Comfortably Numb with Reid and Jerome!

Sounds Opinionated

Pink Floyd

Wow, was this a fun one!  Guest stars, inappropriateness, bad singing... its all here, and means only one thing.  It's St Patrick's Day y'all.  Jerome finally got to record this one, and we had yet another excuse to drink and revel in our distant heritage.  The Pogues, Jerry Garcia, The Kings of Connaught, Carbon Leaf, and others make this our funnest Podcast (I'm still drunk).  Enjoy!

Irish Songs (also St. Patrick's Day Songs)

They say listening to new music fights off Alzheimer's.  So because Jerome is older than Reid, we try to pick some songs neither of us has ever heard.  Jerome picks songs from North Cakalaky's own The Whalewatchers, Appalachian Soul pioneers the Trainjumpers, and my new fave band, The Elovaters.  Reid picks a Brandt Bjork rocker and a lounge-y tune by seminal Drone Metal band Boris.  Please bear with the first half of this one.  I forgot to plug the mics into the computer and the audio is captured through the computer mic, which makes Jerome sound less handsome than he normally does.  #Appalachian Soul #Boris #TheWhalewatchers #TheTrainjumpers #TheElovaters #BrandtBjork

Songs You Don't know, But Should

Self explanatory.  Send feedback to soundsopinionated@gmail.com.#Idaho, #Bahrain, #Toto, #thePowerStation, #LedZeppelin, #theCult, #sayingyouregoingtoseethecultthennotgoingtogoseethecult

First CDs and Tapes

We were brand new, as Jerome says.... we were just kids.  Almost two years ago we came together in Jerome's basement and used an iPhone to record and its pretty rough.  So fun tho as we just winged it.  No real topic, but Reid chose The Green Manalishi with the Two Pronged Crown written by a tortured Peter Green and first recorded by a fledgling Fleetwood Mac, then popularized by Judas Priest, and then made even heavier and sludgy-er by the great Grunge & Stoner Rock progenitor, the Melvins, my favorite band.  Then Jerome plays three songs (Bell Bottom Blues, Layla, and Keep on Growing) from one of his favorite bands, Derek and The Dominos (Derek is Eric Clapton for those who don't know).   Please send us comments, critiques, show ideas, etc. to soundsopinionated@gmail.comThanks and Enjoy!Reid and Jerome

First show recorded... just now publishing

One of Jerome's favorite things to do drunk and on dates (with some obviously lucky ladies).  Some fave songs we love to sing along with by Counting Crows, Steve Miller Band, Elton John, and DC's only, Go-Go Greats... Junk Yard Band!

Karaoke Songs

Jerome loves the holiday themed show, so for Valentines Day Show (#2), he chooses Mr. Sexual Healing himself, Marvin Gaye (I mean c'mon, ladies would throw their underwear at him at concerts), a peaceful Jakob Dylan / Norah Jones number, and a fun Mariachi El Bronx tune.  Reid goes guilty pleasure with the all time soft rock greats the Carpenters, a "splendid" Chicago ballad, and the probably the best love song ever written by Hall and Oates.  Happy Valentines Day? (again)

Is it Valentines Day? Again?!? Ok then... Ballads and Love Songs!

It happens when you get older.  You re-hear music from days gone by, and say to yourself, "Self?  I forgot all about this song!  It's as good as I remember!"  The best is when you feel like you're hearing it for the first time.  I've burned out on many bands and albums, and at some point you stop "hearing" it.  Like David Gilmore said about Dark Side of the Moon;  "I've heard it so many times, it's hard to appreciate it.  It would be quite something I think to hear it again for the first time."  I agree.  It's really awesome when you "hear" something again for the first time.   So I pick some Red Hot Chili Peppers songs from my youth, and Jerome throws in some Billy Idol, Blues Traveler, and a Louis Armstrong/Count Basie number.

Rediscovered Music

Well, it happened.  Jerome has now officially popped his cork.   Our best show ever, hands down.  Fu Manchu and Black Crowes come in at some point, but the real showcase here is the genius/insanity line Jerome walks without fear or consequence.  The world will understand eventually.

Skateboarding Scenes and Jerome Losing His Mind

The Misfits, Dire Straits, Black Sabbath, and the Dead Kennedys all can make some scary sounds.  So do Jerome and Reid, but usually not intentionally.  Enjoy!

Halloween Songs

Jerome kills it this episode.  So many funky horns from Herbie Hancock, the Budos Band, and Flea and the RHCPs.  Not sure what Reid was doing, choosing Rush, Led Zeppelin, and the Minutemen.  But god bless 'Merica, please send us a message via soundsopinionated@gmail.com so we know you're alive and care.

Instrumentals are so very exciting. You must have patience, Grasshopper.

Feared by parents and politicians.  Beloved by misanthropes and anarchists.  From the garage banks of the 60's like The Sonics and the Stooges, to the eclectic masters like the Clash and Fugazi, Jerome and Reid finally delve into one of their favorite genres.   Enjoy, and please let us know what you think of the show!  Send any message at all to soundsopinionated@gmail.com

Punk Rock is the Best Rock

Sometimes better than the original, sometimes not.  How most bands earn their chops, playing the songs of others, and Jerome and Reid pick some of their favorites.  Send in comments or suggestions to soundsopinionated@gmail.com so we can get better and maybe you can help pick future songs and/or show topics.   

Cover Songs!

What do Beethoven and Tom Petty have in common?  Only Reid and Jerome's weddings.

Wedding Songs - Use Only If You Want Your Marriage to Last

Jerome doesn't even know what Country Music is, and Reid, again, shows he's the all time expert.  Hank Williams, Kenny Rodgers, Blaze Foley, Willie Nelson are just a few of the best Country Music has produced over the years, and here are a few choice cuts.  And yes Carol (my crazy sister), because you asked for it, Cake is here too.  Carol loves Cake everyone.  And big shout out to all our listeners in India!  Enjoy!  

Old Skool Country Music... but not Western

Two guys talk and play music... for the kids.
