The Throwback Podcast

Before there was YEEZUS, there was Kanye. Just Kanye. Writer/Actor/Friend Jason Zumwalt joins Dan and Bob in the garage to dig into Kanye's debut album -- but not before they take care of some 9/11 housekeeping and drop the best #1 Single they've ever hit on the pod.

Dan and Bob dial it back to 2001 to ruminate on musicforthemorningafter, the debut album from New Jersey rock troubadour Pete Yorn. Why wasn't Yorn a bigger star? Is it better that he wasn't? How does one acquire Pete Yorn's glorious hair? And did Dan's post-concert bar tab in Atlantic City expose a fatal flaw in the service industry? So many questions.

What happened if you didn't believe in Fred Durst in 1999? If you thought Scott Stapp was a false idol? If Korn sounded like a practical joke? Well, if you were Bob and Dan you might have strayed into the arms of a young and handsome British pop star named Robbie Williams. Temporarily, anyway.

Bob and Dan put on their fanboy hats this week and dig into "Is This It", the debut album from The Strokes. The guys talk about the dire state of 2000s rock pre-Strokes, relive the night they almost partied with the band, and look back on a very awkward personal encounter with Drew Barrymore.
