Make it Stop: A Bad Music Podcast

Weekly News, Features, and Interviews from Metallica HQ and Beyond

Have you got our latest podcast project? It's even MORE of that Van ya love to hate, because we're deep diving into round 2 of this miserable musical end of life crisis with comedian Mark Gallagher...

Welcome Back, Stoppies! We're officially rounding the corner on a whole 100 episodes of musical masochism, so thank you for your patience in advance for what will likely be a much more relaxed release schedule this season. Kicking off Season 5 we attempt to tackle Disc 1 of well-established asshole/Celtic crooner Van Morrison's Latest Record Project Volume 1.

Alright stoppies, it's the moment you've all been waiting for - a knock down, drag out deathmatch between two deeply embarrassing teenage genres of the late 90s: Nu Metal vs. 3rd Wave Ska.

MMM MMMM MMMM...nah. The world was briefly captivated in the early 90s by Brad Roberts' low, smoldering baritone and his band of eccentric Canadian rockers the Crash Test Dummies. The one hit hit hard, but after a string of sloppy follow ups, the Dummies were in the doldrums by the time 1999's Give Yourself A Hand rolled around. To switch things up they decided to have Roberts sing in a falsetto and let keyboardist Ellen Reid play lead on a few songs for some reason - though those tracks provide the only bright spots in an otherwise chaotically awful album. No wonder their label dropped them after sharting out miserable musical monstrosities like "I Want Your Goo". Getting into the goo with us is none other than legendary Boston Rock Goddess Mistress Carrie of the Mistress Carrie Podcast and formerly of 107.3 WAAF (rest in peace), who does her best to honor the artistic intent while also eviscerating their bleating boring bullshit. It's a heck of an episode folks, and it's MMM MMM bad. Enjoy! Make It Stop and Mistress Carrie Podcast are part of Pantheon Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
