Welcome to Pod Like a Hole. In season 1, this was the place to hear Marc Alan, Steven Earl, and Eric Monroe discuss all things Nine Inch Nails and give an album (or Halo) analysis on each episode. For Season 2, we discuss all of David Bowie‘s studio work, live albums, and anything else tangentially related to The Thin White Duke, Ziggy Stardust, Goblin King, Button Eyes, and more. For Season 3, we RUN THE GAMUT on artists, albums, and bands that we think are some of the most influential in modern music history.

You find your self in an old boxcar bouncing over the railroad track with an old hobo howling in your ear. Tales of love and loss, old dogs and prostitutes. It's a cornucopia of creamed corn , but somewhere in that whiskey soaked word salad is the story of a man. A man who harnessed the sound of a junkyard, cobbled it into a beautiful sound and aimed it our hearts.
This is the story of Tom Waits, as only your boys at Pod Like a Hole can tell it. In anticipation of our track-by-track review of his classic album "Rain Dogs", Eric, Steve and Marc hop in that boxcar and take that California trip.

It is the second and final episode of our Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band mini season: track by track discussion of Darkness on the Edge of Town.
In the first installment we had an overview discussion of our history with E Street and their discog. In this episode we take a deeper dive into Bruce's 10 song long 1978 heart of darkness that contains many moments of joy as well.
How many sax solo samples can we get away with posting? How many of Bruce's album covers aren't terrible? What exactly is Bruce proving all night? Tune in and find out. RIP Big Man.

Steve has hi-jacked the show for two episodes of in depth Boss Talk. Thankfully the other hosts are game and a Bruce time is had by all. Bruce is for everyone, and if you don't already believe that - you will.
Part 1 is all Bruce all the time with Plugs and News that are all E Street. Followed by the hosts personal history with the boss, Pop Culture E Street band musings, Clarence Clemons, and the bulk of the episode which is an end to end capsule review tour through Bruce and the E Street bands albums.
Join us next time for the main event in Part 2 as we cover Darkness on the Edge of Town with a track by track discussion of Badlands and Promised Lands.
RIP Big Man.

In 1986, an ex-prog rocker introduced himself to the pop landscape and blew the doors right off. Peter Gabriel, the suave art-rocker who was equal parts world music advocate, equal parts horndog-with-a-heart-of-gold, made an album so catchy, so honest, so unique that it captured the imaginations of music snobs and normies alike. That album was "So", and your Pod Like a Steam hosts are here to evaluate it, Sledgehammer-by-sledgehammer, hit by hit.
Play along at home, give this seminal record a spin, and join Marc, Eric and Steve as they spend a little time celebrating Peter's discography, time with the band Genesis, and score work before diving in to "So". It'll be a good time. You might get a little hot and bothered, but who could blame ya.
Also- Pod Like a Hole studios apparently is still infested by frogs ever since the Tool episode. Our apologies we are working on that.

In this episode, Marc selects Radiohead’s album from 2000, Kid A to discuss with Eric and to mildly annoy Steve. We take a brief look at the band pre- and post-Kid A to determine when they decided to have Q*Bert, the lovable orange video game thing, join the band. Then, as always, we go track by track to determine just how icy and cold the band sounds on the record as it shows on the album cover.

Crashing waves. The warbling of a saw in the distance. A suspicious waiter, and a dead lover. It’s 2002 and your hosts, Eric, Steve and Marc, don their magnifying glasses, Panama hats, and Tommy Bahama shirts. It’s a tropical musical mystery and your Pod Like a Hole hosts are asking the hard questions. Who were “The Black Heart Procession”? What was their hit album “Amore De Tropico” really about? Who is that strange man bellowing about frozen peas?! Your boys are on the case. Listen to the episode as we dissect each track of this haunting album, dusting for prints and removing the clues. We're sipping mai-tais, and breaking this case wide open.

It's a cold November morning. A dead leaf does a dance in front of your feet as you walk through the breeze. You walk by a storefront, the newspaper headline is "Invasion of Afghanistan" another bitter reminder that the world is harsh. The only evidence you are still alive is the steam in air as you breath. But that steam is snuffed by the cold air. Cold like the ice in your heart. It's 2002 and you've just discovered Black Heart Procession, and all that pain gets a little better knowing this strange band, with it's saws and broken pianos, well they understand you. In the next main episode of Pod Like a Hole, your boys will time travel to when they first came together in their early 20s, and dissect Black Heart Procession's, "Amore De Tropico" . But not yet, no if being a broken hearted sadsack has taught you one thing, it's patience. No this week, we will dive into the history of Black Heart Procession, Pall Jenkins, Tobias Nathanial, Three Mile Pilot, early 00's indie rock, and the dying art of a good small club merch table. We hope you enjoy the journey.

In this episode, we peel back the layers of the 2001 Tool album, Lateralus. We attempt to separate our minds from our bodies as we overthink and overanalyze every track on the record. Does Marc and Steve’s feelings of nostalgia outweigh Eric’s skepticism? Or will there be a developing schism on the pod?
