This week we’re discussing DC Special, the reunion album by DC hardcore punk band Scream. In addition to releasing Dischord Records’ first full length LP (1983’s Still Screaming), Scream is also the band Dave Grohl drummed for before joining Nirvana. DC Special reunites the original lineup, along with a slew of guests like Ian Mackaye, Brian Baker, Dave Grohl, Joe Lally, and many others. This is a fun one and so much better than you’d expect.

This week we’re discussing the one and only album by Dave Grohl’s Probot. The band was a passion project by Grohl and was made to quench his thirst for metal. Every track has a different, legendary guest vocalist. Lemmy, King Diamond, Max Cavalera, Cronos, and Wino are only a few of the heavy hitters we have on this album. Even Jack Black makes an appearance. If you’re a fan of metal, this one is a must.

This week we’re discussing every album by Nirvana. This is probably the biggest band we’ve covered on the show yet, and thus needs very little introduction. However, in case you spent the last 30 years living in North Korea, Nirvana is the band who broke grunge into mainstream, inspired millions of musicians, and never made a bad record. The suicide of frontman Kurt Cobain shook the world and drummer Dave Grohl went on to form the world famous Foo Fighters. Like the rest of humanity, we’re big fans and we dive into all of it here.
Read MoreEpisode 81: Them Crooked Vultures
This week we’re talking about supergroup Them Crooked Vultures. Made up of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), this is a lineup that is almost superhuman. Because each of these musicians is world-famous and likely very busy, Them Crooked Vultures have only released one album, although it is possible we might get another in the future. This is a nice, short episode for a change.
Closing track: “Bandoliers” from Them Crooked Vultures (2009)
