#118: Weezetoberfest 2024: Van Weezer

johnpatrickcoan@gmail.com (John Patrick Coan) — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 05:00:00 +0000

Believe it or not Weezer put out ANOTHER album just a few months after the last one. We are still in 2021 and still very much in Weezetoberfest with Van Weezer. This is, and it saddens me to say it, their last studio album to date. But don't worry, we still have more Weezer for you the next two weeks!

We finally get to an album we've been wanting to cover for a long time. It's Aerosmith's 1993 album Get A Grip. There is absolutely no way we can cover the emensity of their 50+ year career, but we can absolutely cover one album from the 90s with a bunch of hits. No spoilers, but this one is so Amazing it'll leave you Cryin'.

It's another adventure in the music of middle school (at least the host's subjective experience of middle school) and this time it is with Evanescense's 2002 debut album Fallen. This album is the 6th best selling album of the 21st century. Just wild.

We do have to include a small disclaimer here: Arne, unfortunately, knows about music so this episode does feature some actual discussion of music theory. Sorry, folks. We edited out as much as we could but some just had to stay in for context. We apologize and we will be back to normal next episode.

100 gecs. 10,000 gecs. What else is there to say? Probably a lot more because that doesn't give you a ton of information. Okay, let's put it this way. There is a band called 100 gecs. They put out an album in 2023 called 10,000 gecs. It's time to listen to some of what "the youth" are calling "hyperpop".

The Billbuds are jumping right in the middle of Ariana Grande's discography with 2016's Dangerous Woman. It's her third studio album and first podcast appearance. Will the Buds like it or will it be Thank You, Next? (Okay, that song isn't on this album)

The Billbuds review Hanson's debut studio album from 1997: Middle of Nowhere. Will we find this album nostalgic or NO-stalgic? Also, this album contains kids singing songs. You've been warned.

We've threatened it long enough, so now it's time to talk about Ed Sheeran's 2nd studio album from 2014: x (pronounced multiply). Will we make a Ed Sheeran fan out of Johnny? Or will he RUNAWAY from THE MAN and say DON'T SING. ONE thing is for sure, I'M A MESS.

The Billbuds say goodbye to 2022 with a Christmas album from 2018. This week, it's a review of John Legend's A Legendary Christmas.

Note: This episode was recorded prior to the passing of Christine McVie. RIP to a rock legend.

This week, the Buds are discussing Fleetwood Mac's 11th (!!!) studio album 'Rumors' from 1977. This is an all time banger of an album, so strap in to hear two cis white dudes in their 30s talk about how much they love it.

johnpatrickcoan@gmail.com (John Patrick Coan) — Mon, 7 Nov 2022 06:00:00 +0000

What better palate cleanser from a month of Weezer than a little journey into late 90s Euro Dance music? Okay, there are probably a bunch of better options, but we chose to listen to Eiffel 65's 1999 album Europop so you don't have to. You still totally can. We won't stop you, all we can do is warn you. Which, to be clear, we are also electing not to do.

Okay, so technically it's a compilation album BUT it's all never-before-released on an album tracks AND Rivers said it's the album that should logically follow Hurley.

Well, depending on how you feel about Weezer, this could be our most anticipated episode of Weezetoberfest to date. That's right, we are discussing Weezer's most controversial album yet: Raditude. By this point, you probably know how you like to listen to these Billbuds episodes. Are you a "listen to the album first" type? Or maybe you're a "listen to the ep first and then check out the album if you like the clips" person? Hell, maybe you never listen to pop music, you just really enjoy Leenik Geelo? We don't want to tell you how to listen, but if there was ever a week to skip the album, this might be it. Okay, we've said too much already. Enjoy the episode!

We've got a little pop punk to round out September with Fall Out Boy's Sophomore album from 2005, From Under the Cork Tree. So drop your guitar straps way down low, grow out those sideburns, and put on your funky little caps.

This was like 10 years before that term even became a thing. And if you are a Parrothead, get ready for some deep cuts, baby! And if you're a Parrotthead, we still use Arne's theme song, so you're covered too. Oh, and it's our 2 year anniversary or whatever which is pretty cool.

This is kinda the 20 year anniversary of Maroon 5's debut album Songs About Jane but it's also kind of impossible to know when this album actually came out. So instead of worrying about that, we can all worry about how good this album is and what that means for who we are. Take a deep breath (cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe) and enjoy the ep!

But also, we don't make the rules. Okay, we do. We're actually the only ones who do. And maybe the only ones who care. And also, we are allowed to break the rules.

And will there be an update on Johnny watching American Song Contest? Probably. Oh, and if you are reading this and you haven't listened to the episode yet, do yourself a favor and watch the video for John Wayne. Maybe watch it like, 8 times?

If you've been clamouring (British spelling) for more rock from across the pond, then you are in luck. And if this album isn't your cup of tea (British beverage) then maybe check out their other albums because they were literally teenagers when they wrote this.

A lot of people claim that this album completely changed the pop music game, but that was like 100 years ago, so the real question is: will two white dudes in their 30s living in 2022 like it?

johnpatrickcoan@gmail.com (John Patrick Coan) — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Sad Girl January continues with Phoebe Bridgers' 2020 album Punisher. Sure, the album technically came out in the summer time but it was made for listening to in the winter. And for more bad opinions like that, you'll have to listen to the whole episode.

Well, it's that time of year again! The time of year where we listen to music that you would never want to listen to any other time of year.

If you are looking for the Christmas classics, look elsewhere because we have a whopping 11 original tracks on this bad boy. So throw on that ugly sweater and meet us under my Christmas tree!

#36: Autobiography

johnpatrickcoan@gmail.com (John Patrick Coan) — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 06:00:00 +0000

Do you remember a simpler time when a celebrity's sister could have her own MTV reality tv show in order to help launch her own pop music career? Well, that time was 2004, that person was Ashlee Simpson, and that album was Autobiography. And the Buds are going to give it a listen and then give you their opinion. And there is a LOT to unpack here.

#34: Weeztoberfest 2021: Maladroit

johnpatrickcoan@gmail.com (John Patrick Coan) — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 05:00:00 +0000

It's the thrilling conclusion to Weeztoberfest 2021! Today on the show, the Billbuds boys review Weezer's 4th album Maladroit from 2002 (almost exactly a year after the release of the Green Album.) If you're looking for more of the pop sounds that you heard on Green, look somewhere else cause it ain't here, but if you're in the mood for guitar solos, this album might be for you. And it wouldn't be Weezer without some more problematic lyrics that do NOT age well!

Bonus! Skyjacks w/ Arne Parrott

johnpatrickcoan@gmail.com (John Patrick Coan) — Thu, 3 Dec 2020 06:00:00 +0000

Hey, look! A bonus episode! Friend of the show and theme-song-creator-extraordinaire Arne Parrott joins Johnny and JPC to chat about his new album Skyjacks.

If you aren't familiar with Campaign Skyjacks (how the hell did you find this podcast?) it's an actual play podcast set in the fantasy world of Spier. Arne created an entire album based on this world and as a stretch goal for his Kickstarter, we are reviewing it on the show! If you want to listen to Arne's album, or even buy it, you can do so here: https://oneshotpodcast.bandcamp.com/album/skyjacks-call-of-the-sky

Also make sure you follow him on Twitter: @ArneParrott and ALL HIS OTHER SONGS on Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/arne-parrott (We recommend you listen to Brand New Car f/ JPC)

Mini: Feel Like I Do

johnpatrickcoan@gmail.com (John Patrick Coan) — Mon, 5 Oct 2020 06:00:00 +0000

One of the pleasant surprises of this nightmare hellscape of a year is that our favorite celebs are going just as crazy as the rest of us in lockdown and that means they are looking for other outlets for their creative genius. On today's ep, we review Vin Diesel's (yes, the Groot and Fast and Furious guy) new EDM track 'Feel Like I Do' and spoiler alert, we love it. Hope you enjoy the mini and we'll see you next week for Destiny's Child's The Writings on the Wall.

Your favorite buds are back at it again, but will they become beliebers? This week it's Justin Bieber's 2010 break-out album 'My World 2.0.' This album has one of the best worst songs of all time and we hope that it gets stuck in your head as much as it has been stuck in ours!

Mini: Reflection & Zoomer Pop

johnpatrickcoan@gmail.com (John Patrick Coan) — Mon, 7 Sep 2020 06:00:30 +0000

We know, we know: it's our off week. And we would have loved to take the week off, but a podcaster's work is never quite done. Christina Aguilera released a new version of Reflection so we had to do an ep about it. Oh, and a fan named Bella submitted a playlist of zoomer pop music that we just had to discuss. See you next week for Michelle Branch's The Spirit Room!

Here's the playlist if you want to play along at home: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/36yRIzTPYyCz9b1dsd0rod?si=EHHPVBnDQa6qaE-oY8C9Jg
