Cobras & Fire: Rock Podcast

Yo mama so easy, she re-tweets Cobras & Fire episodes. LC and Bakko bask in the light of freedom. The freedom to discard a futon. The freedom to hypothesize what Eddie Trunk did to piss off Rob Halford. The freedom to guilt listeners into buying an over priced collectible. The freedom to wonder how Ozzy can be certain he will be able to perform in 2022. And the freedom to showcase Yo Mama jokes between the Nuge and Tommy Lee.

Coming in at number 15 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge Albums list is the L7 1992 major label debut, Bricks Are Heavy. Co-hosted this week, from the Talk Toomey Podcast, host Josh Toomey. Bricks Are Heavy is the third studio album by American rock band L7, released on April 14, 1992 by Slash Records. The album peaked at number 160 on the US Billboard 200 and number one on the Heatseekers Albums chart. AllMusic - "Though they hailed from sunny L.A., L7 became the poster girls for grunge in 1992, with the meteoric success of their third album, Bricks Are Heavy. While their previous efforts had sounded sloppy and uneven, Nevermind producer Butch Vig helped the girls obtain a tight, compact sound on Bricks, pushing them to focus on their songwriting to boot." http://www.talktoomeypod.com/ L7 - http://l7theband.com/ Buy Bricks Are Heavy - https://www.amazon.com/Bricks-Are-Heavy-L7/dp/B000002LRV About Whatever, Nevermind Whatever, Nevermind is a 25 part sidecast counting down the 25 Greatest Grunge albums
