    Welcome to our very first Christmas Special! Every show has to do it. Just like every pop artist has to put out Christmas music. Why? Money, of course! Not that we're getting paid for this (yet).

  11. System of a Down's Best Album, Part 1

    Episode 5

    Show notes

    If 1984 is your favorite book, then this is your favorite band. And they rock! They talk the talk and walk the walk. They belong to a very small and exclusive list in music history. And if you listened to our Strokes episode, you may be just as surprised as us by who is responsible for bringing System of a Down into the spotlight...

    In this action-packed sequel, we've got direct audio evidence that Rick Rubin ripped off Minecraft legend Captainsparklez (yes, we know it's Usher, but it's much funnier this way).
    Oh yeah and we also give the answer to the question that is the actual purpose of this podcast.
