Show Notes
We’ve toyed with an idea for a while that seemed just crazy enough to work: "What similarities are there between Iron Maiden switching vocalists from Paul Di’anno to Bruce Dickinson, and Faith No More moving from Chuck Mosley to Mike Patton?" Despite the unusual premise, we found more parallels than expected.
In this piece, we compare and contrast both bands before and after their respective lineup changes. We discuss the catalysts for these transitions, the resulting impact on the music, and how a band can survive such a potentially catastrophic shake-up. We also explore the merits of singers who may not be technically proficient, like Chuck Mosley, and how vocal character can often make all the difference.

Today we revisit Episode 70 from January 31st, 2024. This was part of a larger episode on Record Collecting, but what we are republishing is a semi-exhaustive piece featured on Episode 70 about Napalm Death's classic and divisive track, "You Suffer." We gathered clips and comments from friends and luminaries in the scene, each one offering their thoughts on the song, interspersed with live versions and covers of the infamous one second song. See below for the breakdown of who and what you are hearing in this piece, in order of appearance.
This is the first in a new series we are calling Podcast Takeover. We hand the reins over to listeners and let them do the work. For this one, long time listener and yes, one of the Kyles, does a deep dive into film sampling in music. Kyle holds our hands as he explains plunderphonics, makes Sebastian happy by playing Buckethead, and showcases a wide and deep knowledge of both music and film.
In 2014 Jason Walton did the unthinkable by attempting to cover Bjork’s gorgeous and heartbreaking masterpiece “Bachelorette” off of her stunning 1997 album “Homogenic.” In this episode we listen to the original, and Self Spiller’s version and discuss them both.
A warrior and his sword. Fresh blood fell on the snow-covered hills. This is heavy metal—this is Unchained Vengeance.
Let’s go all the way back to Episode 10 from March 10, 2018.
