Death and Slammy's Record RoomShow Notes
Episode 013 - Mason Jennings - Century Spring & Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, but not stranger than Death’s Mason Jennings pick. HEYOOOO!! This week we talk about Minneapolis folk troubadour Mason Jennings and his 3rd studio album Century Spring. In the 2nd half we dive into a complicated era for punk rock stalwarts Bad Religion and their 1994 major label “debut?” Stranger Than Fiction. Is this one better than the holy trinity of Suffer, No Control and Against the Grain? Only a fool would make that claim. Which fool does? Listen and find out.

This week we dive into the best live record ever recorded in a prison. So far. Johnny Cash’s career resurgance comes after he plays for inmates at Folsom Prison. The Man in Black was special and this concert demonstrates exactly that. In the second half we talk about a sea change for Propagandhi. They add a second guitar to the mix. They’re not quite the prog-metal band they’re going to become and definitely not the bubble gum skate punk band they started out as. Is this the pinnacle of the most important punk back since The Clash? Listen and find out. Email us @ [email protected] We want to hear your complaints, compliments, or corrections.
We aren’t talking about the 1977 Charles Bronson film, or albino bison. We’re talking about the modern day outlaw country artist! The White Buffalo had a real moment getting a bunch of songs on TV shows, even one from this record we’re talking about, but y’know, they did. And we talk about Hardcore legends Snapcase’s 3rd album Designs for Automotion. A mild change of pace for Snapcase, but damn does it go hard! Is it Automation or Automotion? Listen and find out.

Episode 017 - Lily Allen - Alright, Still & Militarie Gun - God Save The Gun Curveball. Nobody probably heard the tag where I switched out Amy Winehouse for Militarie Gun but we wanted to spread out the ladies. In the first half we dive into Lily Allen’s debut album “Alright, Still”. One of us had been sleeping on this record for 20 years. In the back half we talk about one of the best new bands going right now Militarie Gun!! God Save the Gun is their latest record and at least one of us thinks it rules. Listen and find out. Email us @ [email protected] We want to hear your complaints, compliments, or corrections.
