Shoutout to Jordan with the circa 1998 video resolution. (Oh, got to the point that explains why!)

I guess my extraneous MGK story is that watch Kevin Owens powerbombing him on Raw like 6 years ago was pretty alright.

EDIT: Ooooh! The mention about the dude from Slipknot reminds me of his involvement with the Nostalgia Critic's Pink Floyd review and album. I bet *that* would be a hell of a listen.

Is that a Minoru Suzuki teddy bear in the table behind Jordan? (even if it isn't, I'll keep pretending it is because it would be badass)

I'm disappointed that they think machine guns are some particularly modern thing that would not have been around during prohibition when they defined the WWI battlefields with such tragic consequences for the Lost Generation. Love this show, always look forward to it, adore how these people talk about music, but machine guns destroyed a generation of Europeans and inaugurated the grim first half of the 20th century well before the emergence of bootlegging gangsters.

This was my first episode! Lol, so. The jaded intros were totally new and very, very, untellably funny.

I listened to MGKs last album after Jan said on the podcast that he liked it. (Though it's probably actually this one?). And now that I know this exists, I suppose I'll have to try this one out too haha

I basically agree with Jordan that popular music across all genres flatlined between 2008 and the recent past. In that context, it's not surprising that this latest wave of nostalgia is having such an impact in the music business.

P.S. Oh yeah, uh... Major General Kelly

P.P.S. Congrats to Lucie!

Back in high school I really liked this girl named Mona. Machine Gun Kelly signed her boobs at some point, and that was the first time I was aware of this person.

Congrats, Lucie! Out of respect, I destroyed all the pixels in the top right of my monitor.

I greatly enjoy how most of these episodes end up being thoughtful discussions on music and larger cultural trends. This album was basically a non-entity, and the group got almost 90 minutes of good talk out of it. Lucie's thesis on Millennials especially killed me. Also, A+ ending.
