Welcome to Pod Like a Hole. In season 1, this was the place to hear Marc Alan, Steven Earl, and Eric Monroe discuss all things Nine Inch Nails and give an album (or Halo) analysis on each episode. For Season 2, we discuss all of David Bowie‘s studio work, live albums, and anything else tangentially related to The Thin White Duke, Ziggy Stardust, Goblin King, Button Eyes, and more. For Season 3, we RUN THE GAMUT on artists, albums, and bands that we think are some of the most influential in modern music history.
The podcast Pod Like a Hole is created by The Beast With Three Backs. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
The End.
A review and a look back.
It’s been over seven years since Marc and Steve brought on an intern (Eric) to create a music review podcast. Since then they covered every single NIN and Bowie song, and 42 separate albums by other artists ( plus related discographies). The Trio has reached the end of the road, and they find themselves back at the starting line.
Pod Like Hole’s pilot experiment, the first episode, was Nine Inch Nails' “Pretty Hate Machine”, but the Hole Boys didn’t really know what they were doing yet. Blushing amateurs, they bungled a classic record. In the spirit of setting things right in this jacked up universe, they will finish what they started. But this time....they’ll get it right. (what year is this?)
Enjoy a track by track review of “Pretty Hate Machine” , and betwixt the analysis the guys will reflect on this project, their friendship, and the incredible listeners we’ve gotten to know over the better part of a decade. It's a loose, long goodbye.
As the bionic guitars of Ringfinger echo into the stratosphere, so do your hosts. While our friendship is eternal, this project has been canceled. This is our goodbye. But …..to quote Joe Strummer, (co-creator of our only perfectly scored record), “ The Future is Unwritten”….

Our listeners have been the extra fuel to get this baby to 88 MPH, thanks for seven years of friendship.
This episode concludes our discussion of The Cure and this Pod Like a Hole season by analyzing the album Disintegration. Do we end the season on a sour note, or do we find ourselves whisked away to a world of wind chimes and thunderclouds rumbling in the distance?
Just like one of the themes of the record, everything must come to an end. We thank you, faithful listeners, for following us as we talked for countless hours about our favorite music, artists, and bands in what felt, at times, a neverending project. We ain’t quite dead yet though. Stay tuned.
All good things…

This is the second of the two part Songs in the Key of Life episodes on the Pod Like a Hole Podcast. Picking up with Isn't she lovely, the hosts go deep into their notes and feelings about the second half of Stevie Wonder's opus
Editors note: This is the last time I drew the straw on editing an episode. We only have a handful left before wrapping the show up. YEARS of staying up late and cutting the conversations together of Eric, Marc, and I always re-reminded me why I've been pals with these guys for years. It was a joy and I'll miss doing it.
Pod Like A Hole discusses Stevie Wonders' Songs In The Key of Life. The hosts touch on his other amazing 70s albums, the Wonder of Stevie Wonder, the TV Show the Curse, Weird Al, Wild Wild West, and review Sides A and B of the album - track by track.
Join us next time for side B and C. Followed by our final Podcasts that will cover Robert Smith's the Cure.
On the 4th of July 2024, Pod Like A Hole is celebrating by uploading our discussion of Willie Nelson's The Red Headed Stranger.
This concept album is a Sunday morning favorite in one of the hosts homes, and the boys seem to all agree that it's status as an All American Classic is no fluke. Willie bet on himself (and the talents of his sister Bobbi Nelson) and hit big.
This is the 2nd and final episode in our Willie Nelson series. Remaining artists in this final season of Pod Like A Hole are Stevie Wonder and the Cure. In that order.
Willie Nelson is many things: a lover, a traveler, a Texan, a guitar player, smoker, outlaw, hero, poet, fashion icon, actor, activist, philanthropist, gunslinger, wiseacre, animal lover, brother, father, husband (four times over), Hellraiser, braids and beard enthusiast, but most of all Willie is a friend to all.
In this episode of Pod Like A Hole the hosts discuss the life and times of WIllie Nelson. His brushes with the leaf and the law, his multiple wives, his work as a public servant to the people and animals of America, his collaborations that cross genres and his work with the other Outlaw Country Heroes, and how he manages to be a man that for 91 years and counting is still making music and along the way has become a friend to almost everyone in every walk of life.
We find time to touch on 10 or so of his standout albums (couldn't get to all 100+ of his records), and in the next episode we will dedicate the recording to his masterpiece: The Red Headed Stranger.
WE'VE GOT BATS IN OUR BELFRY!!!!! Grey would be the colour if we only had a way to colour-coat episodes. It's Goth Month here on Pod Like a Hole, so get out your choker, get your eyeliner, and pick a safeword , we are covering Siouxsie and the Banshees and it is getting DARK.
It is Intern Eric's final pick of the season, and does he go out with a bang or a whimper? You be the judge. It's the 1980 record that brought Siouxsie to a new level of rock. Listen as your boys pick apart the ground breaking licks from John McGeouch, basslines from Steve Severin, and poundings from Budgie. And vamping up front, is the true queen of the dungeon, Siouxsie Sioux. Your hosts go into the history of the band, discuss at what point post-punk became goth, and how inspirational this band ended up being. Then its a track by track review of Juju.
It's a whole episode of pain and pleasure. The bitter and the sweet.
Enjoy.

Washing upon the beach of your shipwrecked life is another episode of Pod Like a Hole. The first of 3 episodes dedicated to the mighty Mastodon of the south.
Episode 1 (this episode) we cover the band's formation, the 4 members of this band, and the bulk of the discussion is the influences and peers that helped shape their sound. If you are a fan of ZZ Top, Thin Lizzy, Neurosis, Melvins, High on Fire, and even the Seattle scene of the 90s there is something here for you.
Episode 2 will be a gushing discussion of their discography at a macro level, and Episode 3 will be a track by tack review of Emperor of Sand at a micro level.
Well the dust is still settling from the betrayal that was our System of a Down episode, and it is positively palpable in the air. However, this ravaged warground is the perfect location for the power of Fugazi's "The Argument". Steve, Marc, and Eric spin this 2001 album, discuss DC Hardcore, the Dischord Records scene, the Post-Hardcore genre having a current moment, and the history of Fugazi. Then your hosts dive in to the track-by-track review of this genre-transcending record. And after that experience your hosts are changed. What were once blood stained helmets are now small beanies on their heads. Hate in their hearts? Now compassion. There is only one reasonable next step here and elsewhere---ceasefire.

We had to do a Nu Metal episode.
One hosts lived and breathed it during his teens, a real Jinco Wallet Chain nerd. Another host dabbled in the scene, sometimes to just check on his friend and make sure he wasn't too far gone. A third host was drafted into the No Limit army at the time and was too busy fighting on battles on the Sun Coasts and missed the entire movement back home.
In addition to discussing Toxcity track by track you'll find discussions on Miami Vice, Fargo, Iron Maiden, The Curse, Hed PE, Slipknot, Korn, RIck Rubin, and pizza.
Spoilers: this episode has one host give his lowest ranking ever.
Recs, Current Events, general music chat, and SOAD history in the first hour. Track by Track starts at the 1 hour mark.

Join the Pod Like A Hole hosts back at the Xmas Cabin for our kind of annual Holiday Special. Marc has a love and knowledge of Disney that only is rivaled by his love of U2 and Steve knew it would be catnip to trick him into doing another holiday special. Eric keeps the fire stoked and earns his pay.
Enjoy the hosts of a certain age counting down their top 5 Animated Disney movies while you pack those last minute presents and to grandmother's house you go. We picked up the pace and knocked out 5 episodes for you in the last two months so that means we are going to take a few weeks off and be back with a one two punch of System of A Down followed by Fugazi.
Happy Holidays from PLAH.
The discussion on Faith No More’s album Angel Dust concludes with talking about the second half of the record. Greg Wolgast joins on this episode that we mercifully split into two episodes.

Faith No More Part 1.
New Pod Like a Hole Episode. Part 1 of a 4 episode Mike Patton/Faith No more mini season.
The first of which is a discography discussion of Faith No More - with the exception of Angel Dust which will have it's own track by track deep dive and was the catalyst for all this Patton talk. This episode covers the Chuck Mosley years, 1989's platinum Real Thing, King For a Day, Album of the Year, Sol Invictus, Jim Martin's fashion choices and Billy Gould's catty swipes. FNM is a cornerstone band for many a record store expat, so you should know what you're getting into here.
Next episode will dive into the rest of Mike Patton's prolific and varied output. Tomahawk, Fantomas, Lovage, Mr. Bungle - and much more.

Your three hosts have reached the home stretch. The last handful of our favorite albums to review for our "Run the Gamut" season. Steve, Marc and Eric have all had excellent picks, weird ones, and every now and then, one of us shows up with a card up our sleeve. In this case, Eric is the Card Cheat, so to speak.
In this jam packed, bonus sized episode, we change our name to " Pod Em' Enough Rope " and give you the full run down of the Clash discography and its place in punk history, touch on the solo and side work of Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, and then give you the coveted track-by-track analysis of "London Calling". Does this record deserve it's spot on all the Top 100 lists? Is it truly a "must have" for music fans? Or is it a Cadillac oil stain on a supermarket parking lot? We will decide...but you can decide too (though we know our rights as hosts to be correct). Do you agree? Disagree? Who's your favorite Clash member? Do you Stan-dinista? Reach out and let us know.
Ok it's time to cut the crap, and enjoy this episode!

the Pod Like a Hole Hosts celebrate Florence and the Machines’ 2011 release: Ceremonials.
If you are one of our listeners who says “Pod Like a Hole, we appreciate the wide variety of artists you’ve discussed, but often I find it’s either too much obscurity, too many riffs, or too much testosterone. Can you please give me a mainstream act that isn’t a balding man?” Well, here you go. Steve pushed on the team a track-by-track discussion of Florence Welch and her Machine’s album that can also be used as a audition tape for Barstool sports. We are reaching across the aisle here.
Eric cries twice to one of these songs.

You and your buddies flip your collars, as the rain pours down. You huddle under an awning as you finish your smokes.Life is good. You are young, independent, and ready for trouble. Then you head in to the bar. the joint. The dive. It's your home away from home. Speaking of home, the bartender tells you that the police department called, and your house is on fire. Then it occurs to you. You aren't young. You are 42. And then occurs to you that you've left your children home along to go drink...
That scene and so many more await you on the Pod Like A Hole track-by-track review of Tom Waits' 1985 classic. With still one foot in the boxcars, Tom Waits explores European avant-garde influences and the results...well you'll have to listen to Eric , Marc and Steve figure it all out. How will they rate this album? Is Rain Dogs an old dog, or a dead dog? How would you rate this one, gentle listeners.

You find your self in an old boxcar bouncing over the railroad track with an old hobo howling in your ear. Tales of love and loss, old dogs and prostitutes. It's a cornucopia of creamed corn , but somewhere in that whiskey soaked word salad is the story of a man. A man who harnessed the sound of a junkyard, cobbled it into a beautiful sound and aimed it our hearts.
This is the story of Tom Waits, as only your boys at Pod Like a Hole can tell it. In anticipation of our track-by-track review of his classic album "Rain Dogs", Eric, Steve and Marc hop in that boxcar and take that California trip.

It is the second and final episode of our Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band mini season: track by track discussion of Darkness on the Edge of Town.
In the first installment we had an overview discussion of our history with E Street and their discog. In this episode we take a deeper dive into Bruce's 10 song long 1978 heart of darkness that contains many moments of joy as well.
How many sax solo samples can we get away with posting? How many of Bruce's album covers aren't terrible? What exactly is Bruce proving all night? Tune in and find out. RIP Big Man.

Steve has hi-jacked the show for two episodes of in depth Boss Talk. Thankfully the other hosts are game and a Bruce time is had by all. Bruce is for everyone, and if you don't already believe that - you will.
Part 1 is all Bruce all the time with Plugs and News that are all E Street. Followed by the hosts personal history with the boss, Pop Culture E Street band musings, Clarence Clemons, and the bulk of the episode which is an end to end capsule review tour through Bruce and the E Street bands albums.
Join us next time for the main event in Part 2 as we cover Darkness on the Edge of Town with a track by track discussion of Badlands and Promised Lands.
RIP Big Man.

In 1986, an ex-prog rocker introduced himself to the pop landscape and blew the doors right off. Peter Gabriel, the suave art-rocker who was equal parts world music advocate, equal parts horndog-with-a-heart-of-gold, made an album so catchy, so honest, so unique that it captured the imaginations of music snobs and normies alike. That album was "So", and your Pod Like a Steam hosts are here to evaluate it, Sledgehammer-by-sledgehammer, hit by hit.
Play along at home, give this seminal record a spin, and join Marc, Eric and Steve as they spend a little time celebrating Peter's discography, time with the band Genesis, and score work before diving in to "So". It'll be a good time. You might get a little hot and bothered, but who could blame ya.
Also- Pod Like a Hole studios apparently is still infested by frogs ever since the Tool episode. Our apologies we are working on that.

In this episode, Marc selects Radiohead’s album from 2000, Kid A to discuss with Eric and to mildly annoy Steve. We take a brief look at the band pre- and post-Kid A to determine when they decided to have Q*Bert, the lovable orange video game thing, join the band. Then, as always, we go track by track to determine just how icy and cold the band sounds on the record as it shows on the album cover.

Crashing waves. The warbling of a saw in the distance. A suspicious waiter, and a dead lover. It’s 2002 and your hosts, Eric, Steve and Marc, don their magnifying glasses, Panama hats, and Tommy Bahama shirts. It’s a tropical musical mystery and your Pod Like a Hole hosts are asking the hard questions. Who were “The Black Heart Procession”? What was their hit album “Amore De Tropico” really about? Who is that strange man bellowing about frozen peas?! Your boys are on the case. Listen to the episode as we dissect each track of this haunting album, dusting for prints and removing the clues. We're sipping mai-tais, and breaking this case wide open.

In this episode, we peel back the layers of the 2001 Tool album, Lateralus. We attempt to separate our minds from our bodies as we overthink and overanalyze every track on the record. Does Marc and Steve’s feelings of nostalgia outweigh Eric’s skepticism? Or will there be a developing schism on the pod?

In this episode, the hosts of Pod Like a Hole drive to the nearest Home Depot to go through every Tool aisle in the store to bring you this episode that needs no Home Improvement, if you ask me.
We discuss all things Tool (the band, not saws and hammers) and everything that orbits the band. Next episode we squee-gee our third eye open to analyze the 2001 album, Lateralus.
Until then, we hope this heaping helping of Tool talk tides you over.

Ride Into The Fun! That's right it's a new episode , and your Hole Boys (Eric, Steve, Marc) are dimming the lights, chomping on cigarette holders, turning on the lava lamps, painting some soup cans, rolling up their sleeves and numbing themselves with the proto-punk drone jams of the house band. None other than Velvet Underground. We cover their early Warhol-history, avant garde nightmares and softer 70s moods. Then it's on to the Track by Track of their final 1970 album "Loaded". Will they love it or will it be old hat? Only a listen will tell you for sure.

The year is 1982 and Frank Tovey (aka Fad Gadget) releases the album "Under the Flag", a thematic record tackling the stress of raising a child in a world of increasing threats of fascism. We discuss the history of Fad Gadget and Frank Tovey and give this record the Track-by-Track treatment. It's an important record to electronic, industrial, and synth pop genres, and a milestone for co-host Eric. Will the others like it? Hate it? Dance? Cover themselves in shaving cream and feathers.....and more importantly, dear listener, WILL YOU? Listen and find out.

We conclude our trilogy of talking Depeche Mode by reviewing and analyzing 1997's Ultra. Does it hold up to our feelings of nostalgia? Does it sag under all of its emotional baggage? Or is it somewhere in-between being both?

In part 1 of our trilogy of Depeche Mode episodes, we discuss the first phase of Depeche Mode's career. We get our synths out, bounce around the room, and speak and spell out the early days of Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher, Alan Wilder, Vince Clarke, and Dave Gahan.
So, don't fret about any broken frames because it's construction time again with more than just some great reward at the end. I'll see myself out.

Here you go ! Have a hump-day Bonus B-Side Quickie with Rammstein! It seemed only right to follow up our Rammstein Spring with a quick look at their brand new record "Zeit". Come for a fast frolic with Eric and Steve through this hard, loud and introspective rock record.
We conclude our Beastie Boy's conversation this week with a track by track review of Beastie Boy's 1989 album "Paul's Boutique". A highbrow analysis that even Prof. Booty would appreciate. It's a high flying adventure of egg throwing, wooing disco princesses and rump shaking. We dissect the many samples folded into the tapestry of Dust Brothers' beats. We pick our favorite boy. And there's even a taut medical drama halfway through. It's really all you could ask for in a podcast episode, more than any sane person would would ask for, to be honest.
Enjoy! What would YOU rank "Paul's Boutique?"

Hello B-boys, B-Grrrls and B-everyones.
Taking a trip to the lighter side, Eric has picked “Paul’s Boutique” by the Beastie Boys as our new album. Before we can delight you with a track-by-track review , it’s worth taking a quick and ridiculous trip through their history. So this is a little story about 3 bad boys you know so well. Eric, Steve and Marc take you through punk rock starting, Def Jam shenanigans, 70’s Cop mustaches and intergalactic robots.
Please enjoy, and let us know what you think.

What has become a PLAH tradition, we meet in the cabin for a cozy and loose discussion as we close out 2021.
Some year end reflections, Sopranos and Succession talk, Bioshock Infinite, Marvel Movies, Deep Space Nine, Deafheaven, Tribulation, It's A Wonderful Life. All this and more by the crackling fire.
See you next year starting with a full month of Primus episodes.
In this episode, your Hole-boys strap on some wallabies and Wu-wear visors. After covering the history and impact of the Wu-Tang Clan in our last B-side episode, we now focus on one of the more iconic solo records of the group. The boys discuss and ruminate on the escapes of Ghost, Raekwon and Cappadonna. We knock our heads to the subway boom bap of RZA production numbers. We analyze it track by track and give it our ranking. Will Ironman stay Iron or has it rusted?(yeah right)

The air is thick, the temps are rising, there is no doubt we are knee deep into the dog days of summer. And what better way to wind up this summer than with a track by track analysis of Run the Jewel's "RTJ4"(2020). We go through an abbreviated history of Killer Mike and El-P's solo and joint work before tackling this mammoth record. This album was an instant classic for the backpack and tunnel crew, but what do your Hole Runners think of it? Will Eric be inspired by the hard hitting lyrics? Will Steve lay out some cardboard and get to breakin'? Will Marc transform into a Hip Hop Head overnight? One must listen to find out!

In celebration of our next proper episode, a track by track analysis of "Run the Jewels 4", 2 out of those 4 elements (Eric and Steve) present a very special B-Side. In this bonus episode we look at the solo careers of the Run the Jewels members: Killer Mike and El-P. Our focus remains zeroed in on El-P's record label (Def Jux) , where he released most of his solo albums and a slew of unbeatable , underground boom bap MCs. Def Jux meant more than Eric and Steve can explain to their own development as music fans, but they sure will try.
Rock your yankee to the side and enjoy the sludgy doom rap of Def Jux.

To conclude our discussion on the Deftones, the hosts at Pod Like a Hole analyze White Pony track by track. The third album is considered the album that pushes the Deftones into a new level of the nu-metal category and arguably ejects them from the genre.
Join us as we saddle up the White Pony (with a respectful nod to the Black Stallion remixes) and ride through the dark backroads of this modern classic.

In the spirit of celebrating The Deftones , and in preparation of our official "White Pony" episode, we decided to give a little context to the music scene in Sacramento, especially during the late 90's early 00's. This will give some context to why that album was so special, geographically speaking.
In this episode we speak with local musician and Sacramento music scene stalwart Sean Bivins (Eightfourseven, Will Haven

We are back to conclude our coverage of the industrial hip-hop group Clipping and their ambitious 2016 concept album "Splendor and Misery". Eric, Steve and Marc wrap this one up for you with a track-by-track analysis.
This album is the story of the relationship between an escaped slave from the future and the computer AI of the ship he commandeers. It explores the nature of freedom and the history of shackles.
Will Marc appreciate Daveed Diggs' spaced aged swagger?
Will Steve graffiti #2331's lyrics on the side of his neighbor's house?
Will Eric freestyle over the entire album instead of actually reviewing it, as a bit of a high concept Rick-roll?
You've got to listen to know for sure.

For this season of Run the Gamut, we've got a few grimy, head bopping hip hop albums. Of course the diamond dice, in their infinite wisdom, have rolled one of the most unconventional boom bap records on this list. The experimental, concept story of Clipping's "Splendor and Misery" is a heavy one, but there's work to do before we get to that.
In this Introductory episode, your PLAHBoys go through their history of Hip Hop music. It's a fun L-train ride through the sights and sounds of hip hop in the 90s and 00's. Your hosts don't stray too far, as we wrap this up with the history of the group Clipping. We talk Daveed Diggs, Hamilton and Snipes & Hutson and the career of this strange Industrial/Hip Hop project. We'll follow this one up with a track by track analysis of "Splendor and Misery" next week. As always, enjoy the talk and let us know your hip hop history.

Last episode we took you through a history of the Doors and now it's time to go track by track on Marc's nomination of L.A. Woman. Are you a lucky listener in the City of Night? Or jusa nudder loss angle? (I'm pretty sure that's what Mr. Mojo Risin is saying). Anyways, sit back, put this episode on at dusk, and look out at the endless highway while listening to three guys talk about Venice Beach Blues.

In this episode, your hosts take you to a dirty alleyway in the Pacific Northwest to find a bunch of young toughs sitting under a streetlight, howling at the moon with a half-drunk bottle of Rebel Yell being shared between them. Is it a minor league hockey team? Is that Mike Mills from R.E.M. with a cool denim vest with iron-on patches? Both of those assessments could be correct, as we talk about the great band from Seattle, The Murder City Devils, and their 2000 album, In Name and Blood.

In this B-Side, Eric interviews writer Guy Mankowski, author of “Albion’s Secret History: Snapshots of England’s Pop Rebels and Outsiders “. The book is about pop culture rebels of the UK, and their relationship with English society. It’s a fascinating look into why these artists were important, in the context of modern British history. Eric discusses Guy’s works, and the artists that he covers overlapping with Pod Like a Hole’s Run the Gamut season:
It is a fun, breezy interview with a new friend of the show, and a great music writer. Please enjoy, but more importantly, buy Guy’s book!
Guy will be undertaking a series of interviews with key English artists discussed in the book including Gary Numan, Kate and Dorian from The Long Blondes and Gazelle Twin which will be published on Zer0 Books’ Youtube channel-

In this episode, we conclude our Cave in A Hole series by discussing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds seventh studio album from 1992, Henry's Dream as nominated by Marc.
We discuss the details of the Dream of Henry (not to be confused with Sting's Dream of the Blue Turtles, that'll have to wait for Season 4: Adult Contempto like a Hole-oh) and find it not to be a nightmare at all. Well, unless you don't count what's going on with John Finn's wife.
As Marc likes to say, it's a rip roaring episode where a crafty troubadour spins a yarn around the campfire while a bubbling cauldron of Mulligan Stew is a brewin' designed to warm the soul and titillate the mind.

The Pod Like A Hole podcast has landed on an album that is so big we are going to give it the King Ink's treatment. Before the PLAH team dissects the 1992 release Henry's Dream, they are going to go through the timeline from the formation of the Birthday Party, through all of the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds releases, up to what Nick and the band are up to in the current day. We will briefly discuss the sound and the evolution of the band album by album, peppered with observations of various hair styles, cleanliness of undershirts, and how many books Nick wanted us to know he was reading.
We are joined by special guest and friend of the show, Cris Cleen for this first installment in this series we will be covering the chaotic and greasy rock years of 1979 up through 1996. Next episode we will push Cris out of the studio and put on our fancy scarves and sweaters to discuss the (not always so) chill and "mature" era of the band.

100th Episode! In this season we roll our diamond dice, and it directs to one of our favorite albums of all time. That's the great thing about this "Run the Gamut" season about Pod Like a Hole. This time we landed on the 1986 Goth-Rock classic "Floodland" by Sisters of Mercy. Being Eric's pick, he arrives to the showing in a duster with swinging chains and a shiny cane, ready to show Marc and Steve how those synth bass grooves and reverb guitar riffs can, in fact, get into your veins. Will Dr. Avalanche make an appearance? Will Marc ever get the stains out of his white linen suit? Most importantly, will Hard Rock-meister Steve feel the spirit of rock'n'roll through this Goth pastiche? If you care about these answers...well that's why you are here. Enjoy.

It's been another year, and we've taken a break from our usual "Run the Gamut" release schedule. Eric, Marc, and Steve get together, share some 'nog, and celebrate the holidays in this very special episode. We discuss thing we enjoy about the yuletide season, do a very exciting Top 10 Holiday Films listicle, and and special guest drops in to say "Ho-ho-Hi!"
It's a good time for all, and our way of singing awful carols on your doorstep, interrupting you dinner, and forcing you to throw hot coffee at us so we'll scamper silently into the dark.
Enjoy. And Happy Holidays from your Hole Boys.
Tonight the boys of Pod Like a Hole, who are still at large, will take you through Uncle Acid and the Deadbeat's seminal 2010 album BLOOD LUST - which is literally a candy lane of murder and mayhem.
In this exciting third season of Pod Like A Hole, we "Run the Gamut" and each episode we sample some interesting albums by our favorite artists, track by track. For this episode, co-host Eric chooses the 80's post-punk classic "Night Time" by UK legends, Killing Joke.
Over the course of this episode you will receive an in-depth retrospective of their history, other classic albums, side projects, and an exclusive track-by-track analysis of the album. Steve will perform a ritual of dark magik, Marc will shimmy across the room with a cloak and Eric will hold his boombox up to his wife's window and try to woo her with the Goth vamping all over this record.
All that and your favorite team unpacks the 2020 election results.

Tears are shed. But first - a Pod Crossover! Eric and Steve sit with Sly Dog of the Sly Dog Music Cast and Sly Dog goes deep on walking us through the first decade of Prince's career. We appreciate the Sly Dog calling in and hope you'll follow him home to his podcast in the future.

Welcome to Season 3, where Pod Like a Hole runs the gamut of music styles, bands, artists, and albums. In our season 3 premiere, we discuss the first half of Pink Floyd's 1979 album, The Wall.
This epic concept record is so sprawling it required two episodes for us to give it proper due.

Another Brick in the Wall, Part Two
As you, dear listeners wait for Season 3 to begin, we greet you during this break with a very special bonus episode. In this hour, Eric interviews Adam Steiner, author of "Politics of the Asylum" and "Into the Never- Nine Inch Nails and the Creation of the Downward Spiral"). Adam discusses his process in researching this album, and what he learned along the way. The conversation digs deep in to the importance of NIN and spirals into tangents about 90's angst, American gun culture, The Manic Street Preachers, and much more.
Please enjoy this conversation, and check out Adam's book!

This is part 2 of a 2 part finale.
The hosts have some musings about what they learned over the last two or so years in discussing 27 David Bowie albums. That is followed by a a rousing discussion of their TOP TEN DAVID BOWIE SONGS. Spoilers: Eric tries to get too clever for his own good, Steve cheats, and Marc actually plays by the rules of a top ten list. The episode is capped off with the revelation of where this tin can will fly in season 3.
Thank you from the bottom of our black hearts for supporting this labor of love called Pod Like A Hole. We look forward to you joining us in what comes next.
In the first of two wrap up episodes, the Pod Like a Hosts countdown and compare their ranking of all the David Bowie albums with a focus on the top ten. Followed by a brief essay question segment that Steve forced Eric and Marc to participate in. We considered dropping this as one giant 4 hour episode but why not milk the podcast feed a bit more and take another few weeks off. Saying goodbye is hard to do after all, as Marc will discuss with the audience when he has a moment during Blackstar.
If you're scrubbing to the end to see what season 3 is going to be all about, you're out of luck. We aren't going to share that info until next week in part two of the Finale - The Top Ten David Bowie Songs.
Thank you for listening.
For this little morsel, Steve and Eric interview Professor Glenn Hendler, author of the newest release in the 33 1/3 book series. This scholar's take on "Diamond Dogs" expands some minds and certainly adds to our previous dissection of the album. Listen, enjoy and buy his book! It's great!

In this final episode of album analysis in the David Bowie cycle, we go out with a truly classic album, 1977's "Heroes." Marc, Steve, and Eric discuss if this album is the crown jewel of the Berlin trilogy, whether the avalanche of cover versions of the title track is worth sifting through, and if there's a hidden gem often overlooked found on this iconic record.

In 1977, David Bowie and Iggy Pop could not stop releasing amazing music. Though this season of Pod Like a Hole has been focused on Bowie’s albums, it has become clear that his work producing Iggy Pop’s records is a critical part of this conversation. 1977’s “Lust for Life” is no exception. Follow your Bowie Boys as we discuss this piece of work, and its connections to “Trainspotting”, ocean liner cruises and Bowie’s “Tonight”. Also, Marc admits to a serious crime on this episode. He’s currently on the lam and we miss him dearly.

Are your eyes feeling heavy? Are your pjs nice and warm? Do you have a half-sipped mug of Sleepytime Tea? Are you sliding in and out of consciousness? You might be listening to David Bowie’s 1999 sleeper “hours…” …or you might have just had a NOMAD soul jump to and from your body. Mr. Bowie and loyal axeman Reeves Gabrels followed up their genre stretching , and rather well regarded, mid-90s work with music and performances in the adventure game: OMIKRON: The Nomad Soul, as well as on an album honoring the sleepiness of getting old.
BUT NEVER FEAR: Steven, Marc and Eric are three nomad souls jumping into the sleepy bodies of “hours” listeners and giving them a shot of adrenaline as we hilariously dissect this album, analyze each track and consider how it fits into his 90s work as well as sets up his next millennium of output.

How will you be celebrating the millennium? December 31st, 1999. Will you be screaming in fear, dancing your anxiety away, or preparing a blood tribute for a dark and ancient God? In 1995 David Bowie foretold this future, with the help of Brian Eno, Mike Garson and others. Have no fear, your Bowie Boys (Steve, Marc, Eric) listened to this strange, shimmering spectacle of Tomorrow, dissected it song by song, and are presenting it to the ritual stone. Who killed Baby Grace Bellew? Maybe you'll get your answers here. Maybe you'll only get so many more, horrible questions. One thing is for certain, we collectively butcher the correct pronunciation of a certain guitar player who most likely was a big fan of too many zippers on a pair of pants.

In 1995, David Bowie & Co. released the album ‘Outside’. We will be discussing that in our next official episode. However, in the liner notes, song lyrics, and skits, David Bowie was clearly telling a complicated story. A murder mystery taking place in the oppressive future of 1999. He dubbed this story “The Nathan Adler Diaries: The Art-Murder of Baby Grace Blue - A non-linear Gothic hyper-cycle.” This would be too much to cover in our official episode, so just as he did in Season 1’s “Year Zero”, co-host Eric takes the wheel and delivers a summary of the (intentionally) complicated back story. This will fill in the gaps and get you the listener more prepared for our "Outside" analysis
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE:
Eric follows this up with an interview with long time friends of the show, The Wolgasts: Greg, Dan, Jamie, and even, briefly, Phiaus (aka Pulsar Glitch). Eric and the Wolgasts celebrate 90’s Bowie and discuss why this phase was unique for him. We discuss the legendary Outside Tour (with Nine Inch Nails) and, generally, how a group of kids discovered music in the 90s, in Arizona.
Enjoy the conversation.

1997. Slide into some oversized JNCO's. Chew on a pacifier necklace. We are HAPPY 2 B HARDCORE. But it's not just us. Lord Sir David Bowie himself was digging the techno beat and going on a Tarzan ride through the jungle (genre).
Listen to this raving, slamming episode where your Bowie Boys (Marc, Steve and Eric) analyze this interesting, oft-overlooked album. We talk about the history, do a track-by-track analysis, and discuss bonus songs, guest appearances and remixes (including the Season-One Throwback, NIN remixes of "I'm Afraid of Americans")

While the world was bumming out on Bowie in 1986, he had another plan. He would squeeze his rock star persona into a Jim Henson creation and become the Goblin King: all rock, crotch and charisma. That's right, your Bowie Boys (Eric, Steve and Marc) along with special guests Lennox Anderson and Chris Cook, are diving into Jim Henson's "Labyrinth". We discuss the history of the film, the lore, the songs and Bowie's shining performance. Enjoy, and if you don't get boxed up and filed by the Trash Lady, then you don't know what nostalgia is!

It is spring 2020 and our world is rightfully experiencing some growing pains. There is fear and unrest and your Bowie Boys are right there with you. Not to distract or deviate from the matter at hand, but to merely offer a brief escape, let’s all take a little trip to 1975. As Bowie is enjoying his fame, he gathers a group of amazing Black musicians and record “Young Americans”. It stands somewhat alone in being the sole soul record in Bowie's career, but the keen-eared listener will hear some bits of his past and future. Let Steve, Marc and Eric fascinate you with our historical anecdotes, track-by-track analysis and what 4 out of 5 iTunes reviewers consider good conversation.
For those in the cheap seats that need to hear this again: BLACK LIVES MATTER.

That's right, it is time to discuss "Reality," the sleek, rock-forward follow-up to "Heathen". Listen to our opinions as we dive into this track-by-track. In addition, we blaze through the mash-ups, remixes, deleted songs and "Underworld" vamped-out versions.

In addition, we dive in to a review of Volume 1 of (previous guest and NIN-affiliate) Rob Sheridan's comic book series "High Level." What do we think of these new releases?

In this episode, we discuss the 1973 album, Aladdin Sane. Is there more to this album than just it's iconic album cover? Does Marc prefer listening to Disney's Aladdin soundtrack over this? Will Eric find a way to make a theory about aliens and the intersecting boundaries of capitalism? Does Steve nail a Mick Ronson guitar solo by vocal impressions alone? Did Mike Garson finally get the cat off his piano? All these burning questions will be answered and more.

Metal Gear?
As he is wont to do once per season, Steve has hi-jacked the show again. Last season it was Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy, this season it's Metal Gear. But at least he has a point this time: the Metal Gear game series has many ties to the David Bowie universe. From in game plot points, to Hideo Kojimi's very Bowie-esque approach to his art. Please join Steve and returning guest Joe Vierra as they give an overview on the series, how it ties to David Bowie and other pop culture, and it caps with a top 5 metal gear moments.
See you soon for Aladdin Sane.
This B-Side brings you another episode where a David Bowie produced Iggy Pop record is discussed. In 1973, just a few months ahead of the release of Bowie's Aladdin Sane, came the album by Iggy and The Stooges, Raw Power. This album has been cited as being one of the most influential punk records of all-time, so let's see if the hosts agree.

Your hosts come face to face with The Man Who Sold the World in another exciting chapter of A Space Poddity. We dissect David Bowie's third studio album released in 1970 by a track by track discussion and explore Bowie's hard rock wizard sound that lays the foundation he'll later build the house that Ziggy Stardust lives in. Of course, we discuss the resurgance of the title song made famous by Nirvana's unplugged cover.
So check in with all the madmen as we measure the width of a circle and compute the facts of the supermen into the saviour machine. After all, no need to get the running gun blues through the black country rocky terrain otherwise you could get shaken cold by the man who sold the world.

In a David Bowie season, what are the boys doing talking about the grunge pioneers from the 90's, you may be asking yourself. Well, the obvious answer to that is Nirvana's iconic cover of "The Man Who Sold the World" featured on MTV Unplugged was one of our early introductions to David Bowie in our formative teen years. We take this opportunity to run down our Top 5 favorite Nirvana songs because Steve willed it so.

In this episode, your three loveable lads of lively conversation take you inside the Deram world of David Bowie's first self titled album, David Bowie, released in 1967. We take you lovely birds and cool cats into the swinging 60's where Bowie was finding his artistry by conversing with Laughing Gnomes, playing in Rubber Bands, begging to Gravediggers, borrowing comics from Uncle Arthur, and urging someone to buy his toys. Does Bowie ultimately succeed in becoming the next groovy sound from London or does he have to go back to the drawing board to figure this whole rock 'n roll thing out?

Last week, your Bowie Boys were joined by electronic music expert and Video Game Wizard Joe Vierra to discuss the seminal 1977 David Bowie masterpiece Low. The conversation was so robust that we had to split it into 2 episodes. So enjoy this, Low (Side 2) where we hear what Bowie, Eno and Tony Visconti were up to behind the scenes, Marc disappears on an underground mission, the team discusses the strange ambient side 2, the lasting impact of this album, as well as outtakes and remixes from this era. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

In their ongoing adventure to review all of David Bowie's discography, your Bowie Boys are dipping their toes in Bowie's Low era, but they can't go a step further without discussing Iggy Pop's first solo album, The Idiot. Co-written and produced by Bowie, The Idiot is a ground breaking album and a helluva way to unofficially introduce the Berlin Trilogy.

In this episode of our ongoing adventure in dissecting randomized Bowie albums, the Diamond Dice (TM) has chosen Pinups for us. Your Bowie Boys, (Steve, Marc and Eric) are tasked with analyzing this strange, transitional album from 1973. David Bowie wanted to pay tribute to the mod, British invasion bands of his early years (as well as wanting to satisfy his record contract), and we at Pod Like a Hole in turn pay tribute to that tribute.
Enjoy. Let us know your favorite tracks off this oft-forgotten album.

You know, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together, while listening to a bonus episode of Pod Like a Hole..
Your boys in "The Hole" may be grizzled, grouches...but a few things slap a smile right across our faces. NIN, Bowie, and holiday cheer (and our families, paychecks, and days off, to name a few others) But today Marc, Eric and Steve discuss Bowie spreading some holiday cheer. Listen as the boys gather around a fire at Steve's house and drink some eggnog, with a kick. Some drink more than others (damn it, Eric) but either way, we've got your holiday travel entertainment covered. We discuss Bowie and Bing Crosby's duet "Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth" as well as his narration of the classic "Peter and the Wolf." Rankin and Bass specials,, Batman, Nirvana, John C Reilly, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Shane Black, and much more.
What Christmas shindig would be complete without us discussing our favorite holiday music memory and our top Christmas movies?! You'll get it all, right here friends.

It's Godawful small affair. Just 3 chums, hanging out, doing what they do. Listening to David Bowie's 1971 album "Hunky Dory". As always, we the boys at Pod Like a Hole, break down this classic record , track-by-track. We also share the excitement of pop culture and history from 1971, and learn what Bowie and his band were doing in 1971.
So listen to your Bowie boys leave our mark and lay it all down. Steven takes us to Mars, Marc gets stuck in Quicksand, and Eric is a kook, as per usual.

"Now I've been told, that you've been bold, with Eric , Marc and Steve!"
Dear listeners, we left you on a cliffhanger last week. Steven barely broke Marc out of the mental hospital, Marc barely got his mind back, the team discussed the year of 1972 and did a track by track analysis of Bowie's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust".
Well they are back to continue the conversation with:
- All of the Bowie era bonus tracks and B-Sides
- The film: "Velvet Goldmine"
- A sampling of notable covers of the Ziggy songs
- Mott the Hoople
- and the nice little bow that we tie this gift up with: a track by track dive into Lou Reed's "Transformer" and discuss the important relationship between the two artists.
-And then we roll the dice to see what crazy album we fall in to next!

In addition to giving the album the full track by track treatment, we discuss current events of 2019 and past events of 1972.
Eric gets to dig his mandibles into an album with an actual storyline, Steve thinks he might know what he's talking about despite popular opinion saying otherwise, and Marc is just happy to be eating solid foods again. This one covers quite a bit of ground, so strap in for a ride to Saul Starman's office.
But wait, there's more. Come back next week for the thrilling conclusion where we finish our discussion of Bowie's Ziggy era, fight some Decepticons with Lou Reed's Transformer, and we Mott the Hoople, if you get my drift.

You know. When we started this podcast, your cohosts Marc, Eric and Steve, set out with a simple purpose. To connect to people through their love of music via a jovial conversation, laying out the spoils of our various takes on the deep dive in discographies. They've been holding hands and traversing through the history of music in this season 2: David Bowie. All was going well. Best.Laid.Plans.
Cut to Shady Pines Mental Institue:
A nurse walks into a room. It is shadowed by the afternoon sun hitting the blinds just so. Three patients in the room don't notice. Their poor minds are gone. A serious trauma twisted their neurons into their emotions and blocked any further chance at experiencing the world in the same way. Marc is curled on the floor, hitting his head onto a wood block, repeatedly. Eric crying as he drops his spoonful of jello again, not getting a single bite into his mouth. Steven, humming madness as he tries to connect a lego to a duplo. The doctor approaches the nurse, sighs and shrugs, "What's all this then?" To which the nurse replied, "Tin Machine, doc. Those sweet boys never recovered from Tin Machine. It broke their minds."
Enjoy the maddening adventure in to the colossal assault on our dignity. Tin Machine.

In this episode, your intrepid hosts look under the bed and open the coat closets to find David Bowie's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps). This 1980 album captured the quintessential Bowie sound and style that (spoiler alert) your hosts swooned over for an episode so long we had to split it into two parts. In this first chapter, we talk about the year 1980 and all goings on during that time period. We also delve into the first four tracks of Scary Monsters.
Next week will bring the thrilling conclusion.
Feedback and audience participation encouraged! Go to the following links to let us know what you think!

In this B-Side episode, we quickly look at David Bowie's 1993 soundtrack album, The Buddha of Suburbia. The soundtrack was considered a lost release for many years after it was deleted, despite Bowie claiming it was his favorite album. Do the hosts agree?
LINKS:
In this episode we learn that David loved the 90s almost as much as he loved Iman. In this episode of Space Poddity - Pod Like a Hole Phase 2, the audio chrononauts travel to 1993 and dissect an artifact very much of it's time: Black Tie White Noise. Marvel at the plastic production. Be amazed at the on the nose commentary. Envy the giant shoulder pads. And be thankful it's not as bad as Never Let Me Down but not by much. 2.5 hours of Eric, Marc, and Steve trying to mine for gold in David's New Jack City.
Video, Viideos, Videeos!
Before we put on our black ties and enjoy the white noise of the Wedding, your friends at Pod Like A Hole set some time aside to discuss the early 90s Bowie single Real Cool World. We also dive into some talk about the absurd 1992 film Cool World, Brad Pitt, live action animated films, and for some reason - Adventure Games. #monkeyisland.
Come back next week for the best thing to come out of David Bowie's Black Tie White Noise, which happens to be the podcast episode of us talking about it.

In the latest installment of Pod Like a Hole, the gang goes Station To Station. They cover the crazy recording sessions that David and the band lived through, the nutzo influences our hero was living through, and the bonkers full length feature film The Man Who Fell To Earth lived through. All in the year 1976. This is all preamble to our track by track analysis of the 6 excellent songs found on Station to Station. It was a late night and Eric drank all the milk and Marc unleashed the secret of peppers. If you'd like to support Marc's pepper habit please consider becoming a patron over at Patreon https://www.patreon.com/join/podlikeahole.

The criteria is what you make of it - be it based off performance, stage craft, attitude, etc. Please enjoy and join us back here in 7 days for our discussion of Station to Station.
If you've ever wondered how it would be possible to have three guys talk for nearly 3 hours about David Bowie's self-admittedly worst album, then wonder no more. Our trusty Diamond Dice sends us to David Bowie's 17th studio album, Never Let Me Down, where we traverse through what's considered David Bowie's career nadir. Eric, Marc, and Steve go track by track and compare it to the re-worked 2018 versions available on Loving the Alien (1983-1988) to see if this album got a bad rap, and we're not just talking about Mickey Rourke's appearance on the record.

Pod Like A Hole presents: A Space Oddity
02: "Space Oddity"
Marc, Eric and Steve, your hosts, rolled the Diamond Dice. Fate chose the next album and that choice sent us into a tin can, where we have been ever since...sending a track-by-track analysis of the David Bowie album "Space Oddity" back to ground control. Does anyone hear our transmission?
Enjoy this episode as we dissect this strange, folk-a-delic album. We look into the world of 1969, and have special legacy guest Jeff Anderson explain the politics and music scene of the summer of love from first hand experience in a series of sound bites.
Does Major Tom ever get back to Earth? Does the Growth Lab ever stop sucking life from their Messiah? Does Hermione enjoy her letter? We get into all of it and hope you enjoy it.
Please let us know if you do, or don't...or if we missed any good details.

"Blackstar"
After sending Pod Like a Hole into the black hole at the end of Season 1, your boys have returned as a singularity. An enlightened entity of hope, wit and outrageous flash.... Marc, Steve and Eric have returned to host Season 2: A Space Poddity.
For each of these episodes we will randomly (thanks to our "Diamond Dice") review a David Bowie album. As always we'll give history, pop culture, and patented Pod Like A Hole humor and camaraderie. In this premiere episode, we begin at the end with the delightfully nu-jazzy swan song, known as "Blackstar". We bid Ol Button Eyes adieu, just as we nod bonjour.
In this episode we also discuss Kendrick Lamar, Aleister Crowley, and some recently dropped "Nine Inch News".

In this BONUS episode, Eric talks with Nick Rusis, the very lucky fan to win the very lucky cereal box "Co-host a Bonus Episode" giveaway. Nick discusses becoming an Australian NIN-fan and the two give "The Fragile: Deviations" a deep dive. Or a much deeper one than your core hosts did a year ago.
It's a robust discussion about one of the greatest bonus albums of all time, all in a pithy, but entertaining, Bonus episode. Enjoy.
In this episode, your hosts explore the second EP in Nine Inch Nails’ planned trilogy, Add Violence. We take a look at the thematic elements and how any of this could fit into a re-interpretation of The Matrix films. Of course, Eric pours over the lyrics as if they were scrolls from the Ancient Ones, Steve does a dance for us in studio, and Marc gets dust in his eyes at one point. We even manage to get in some U2 and Todd Rundgren talk as well. Join us next week as we close this whole song by song thing out with Bad Witch.

The team (Marc, Steve and Eric) delve into the final (well most recent) NIN album and really give it their all. The drawings are bleeding down the cave walls, but we all somehow somehow make sense of them. The world is in a state of disrepair and we deserve every terrible thing we do to ourselves. Now let’s listen to 6 jaunty tunes about it! Your boys break it all down, discuss it’s connections to Bowie, how this ties in to the big Trilogy, and discuss other Big Trilogies! Listen, enjoy, interact: tell us what you think about this album, and trilogies in general. Don’t worry, though this is NIN’s last album, we are NOT DONE YET. Big announcements afoot regarding when we are making our big announcements. And also: Face/Off.

In this episode, your intrepid hosts take a look at Not the Actual Events and decide whether its a return to form or a noisy departure to the land of Clang and Bang. We spend a little time reflecting on 2016 and the political implications that surrounded the EP. Of course, we go track by track and Steve offers up a relevatory statement on one of the songs that brings Marc to a place of wonder. Eric dives into the lyrics to suss out the themes and narratives while Marc tries to think how any of this relates to "The Nine Inch Nails" appearing on Twin Peaks: The Return. Finally, Steve is trying out his new smoky, sultry voice on this episode that will sure to please our discerning audiophile fans.

In the second installment of our Reznor-Ross Score Work catch all, we take a look at... everything else. Opinions and discussions of Before the Flood, Juno (the Mars Mission, not the Pregnant teen), Mid90s, The Vietnam War, John Carpenter's Halloween theme, and a whole mess more. It's a wide ranging discussion that takes you through Eric's opinions on what Nightmare On Elm street movies are worth a damn, Marc sharing a shocking pop culture secret, and Steve being more than happy to talk about Matt Pike's (High On Fire) lizard people beliefs. Join us next week as we get back to honest to goodness NIN discussions, with Not The Actual Events.

For the first of two installments we will be covering the major theatrical releases that aren't named The Social Network. That would be Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, Patriots Day, and Bird Box.

In this episode, we go through Nine Inch Nails' full length LP, Hesitation Marks. We talk about the parallels to The Downward Spiral and, of course, Eric has a theory. We also cover the official remixes that are found in this era.
Video Links:
It's a family affair here at Pod Like A Hole headquarters. Your favorite Reznor/NIN podcast has reached the point where it is 2010: NIN is on hiatus and Trent, Atticus, Rob join Trent's new wife (and former indie rock frontwoman) Mariqueen Maandig to create a project together. Marc, Steve and Eric dig into this dreamy glitch-tronica act (Eric is trying to make that genre stick). The music may get sleepy but the conversation never does!
Follow them through a track-by-track analysis of both EPs (self-titled, "An Omen"), the full length "Welcome Oblivion" as they look at how these songs stand on their own, and how they stack up against NIN-proper work. We discuss the instrumentation, lyrics, music videos, MANY remixes and give you a loving yet critical look at this interesting era for Trent'n'friendz. In addition we dig into some of the soundtrack ("Call of Duty: Black Ops II") and Queens of the Stoned Age collaborations that Mr. Reznor was involved in during this era.
It is a lively conversation, and Steve basically finds a reason to write Eric out of his will in the last twenty minutes... Enjoy.
TIME STAMP: Album conversations begin at 1:00:55

Trent Interview
In this episode, the boys talk about Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' score for the 2010 film, The Social Network. Since Trent and Atticus both won an Academy Award for their work, we decided to give the score the full track by track treatment.
As we all learned during the Ghosts I-IV episode, it becomes difficult to talk about purely instrumental music. Steve, however, stays conscious throughout this conversation. We bring in our dear friend Ed from the Pacific Northwest to give us his perspective on navigating the real world in the tech industry, his Sorkin qualifications, and his relationship with Trent Reznor's work.
In our next episode, we are still traveling on our detoured route with our discussion of How to Destroy Angels.

The boys take a field trip to see Nine Inch Nails live at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on Monday, December 3, 2018. This is a quick review of the live show. Was all of this physical world pre-sale worth it? Did they get pulled backstage for an intimate 1:1 Q and A with the man himself? Did Robin Finck give hair tips to Marc's wife? All this and nothing else in our shortest episode to date.
Steven goes pirate radio and, as he has threatened for months, has blessed the listeners with a track by track review of Guns and Roses schizo-frenetic epic: Chinese Democracy.
Ian from the East Bay guest stars as Eric and Marc wouldn't have been able to speak intelligently about this topic for 2.5 hours, not to mention the fact that they didn’t even know it was being recorded.
Ian and Steve discuss their history with GnR, the influences between Guns and Roses and NIN, the recording and roster of hired guns performing on the album, and finally a track by track review of the record itself. Along the way you'll hear talk about #EndofDays #Terminator2 #Mastodon, #Botch, #AphexTwin, #Kanye, #DrDre, #GirlTalk, #Aerosmith, #BrianWilson, #Buckethead, and much more.
This all started because Axl Rose owned a tshirt from the NIN Sin Single.

In this episode, the boys slide into The Slip, the eighth studio album from Nine Inch Nails. This time our very special guest, Sarah, brings her perspective on all things Nine Inch Nails and joins us in the track by track breakdown.
Video Links:
In this episode, Eric, Marc and Steve go into the haunted house and come across Nine Inch Nails’ Ghosts I-IV. Steve goes to the third floor and gets slimed by this album, so we don’t hear much from him this episode. Marc and Eric forge on and are careful not to cross the streams in order to break down some standout tracks from this 36 track phantasm.
We also get a call-in from our dear friend, Greg Wolgast who shares his views on all things Nine Inch Nails and his perspective of the all-instrumental album, Ghosts I-IV.
Video Links:
Eric, Marc, and Steve welcome special guest Brian Strand to discuss the era of Year Zero. We expand on the narrative threads that weave throughout the album. We also talk about the alternate reality game that surrounded the album's release. The boys go track by track and briefly mention Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.

Breaching your atmosphere in a very short time will be Pod Like A Hole's "Year Zero" recap. However, what was too rich, too thick to even fit in that episode was a deep dive into the immense world that Trent Reznor, Rob Sheridan and the artists at 42 Entertainment built around these songs. It's in this world building that the characters and perspective for all the songs on Year Zero came from. Starting in 2007 (i.e. The year Negative-15) all the way to 2022 (i.e. Year Zero, 0000) there is an exciting cast of characters, mind controlling drugs, soul-crushing politicians and hopeful, though often violent, resistance fighters. Though we'll mention direct references in the main episode, this bonus-sode will truly give you a thorough background.
If hearing co-host Eric Anderson dust off a poster board and attach some yarn to connect all the characters, timelines and theories sounds like a fun way to get excited for our Year Zero episode, then start here!

In this super-sized episode, we discuss the With Teeth era in all its lean and mean glory. We get to hear controversial statements and bold proclamations that make for our most heated discussion to date. Friendships will be tested, but all the love in the world is the only thing that keeps the boys from calling it quits on each other. We'll go track by track through With Teeth and talk about the coinciding releases around Nine Inch Nails' fourth LP.
This episode contains the first part of our discussion on With Teeth.

In this episode, we finally close out The Fragile era with a discussion on Things Falling Apart, And All That Could Have Been, Still, and The Fragile: Deviations 1. We even have time to talk about the song "Deep," from the Tomb Raider soundtrack as well. The temptation to go track by track through the Tomb Raider soundtrack is compelling, but no one wants to hear Marc talk about U2. Eric, as always, has a lot to say about a remix album. Steve argues true fans of music prefer live albums because who doesn't enjoy bad acoustics and crowd noise, amirite?
Once more unto the breach, dear listeners, as we complete the masterclass in all things The Fragile.
Video Links:
Hello True Believers. At this point we've taken just as long to release our episodes about the Fragile as it took Trent to do the same, so allow us to supplement you with a bonus episode with friend of the show Mike Spreigl. Steve called up Mike and they discuss Mike's history with the band, their love for the Fragile and it's various directions, the importance of a good wedding playlist, the beauty of Faith No More, How GREAT ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD IS, the physical ticket experience, the whimsical nature of TR, and much more. Mike has his own podcast (where this ep can also be downloaded) called Burning Bridges https://burningbridgeswithmikespreigl.simplecast.fm/ where a just turned 40 year old "muses about what has changed in his life as he has become older as well as revisits the things he loved as he grew up and discusses if those things still hold up today." So if you can't tell, he's our target audience. We hope you enjoy this bonus content.
See you soon for arguments about With Teeth! (but first one more episode on the Fragile Era...don't worry, that episode is done and waiting to be unleashed)
The boys finish talking about Nine Inch Nails third album, The Fragile, by dissecting the Right Side of the record. We go track by track looking for the highs and lows of the record. Steve makes a bold proclamation that will get carried over into future episodes. Eric tries his best to say each track needs more brass and woodwinds. Marc fills out a paragraph on his last will and testament. It's a family affair, so join us as we delve into the void and scrape underneath it all in what only can be characterized as a big come down. We look forward to joining you, finally.
Video Links:
The boys are back to talk exclusively about Nine Inch Nails and the first side of the magnum opus, The Fragile. Much like the album, this episode was recorded in various locations and times to capture the same process that Trent Reznor went through when recording this fine album. At least, that's what we told ourselves after the fact. Eric loves the big old brass, Steve goes off the reservation, and Marc tries to shoehorn a Carly Rae Jepsen joke in this episode that will go down as the definitive and all encompassing take on a true masterwork.

In what you might think is becoming a practical joke - we have a BONUS episode for you before the Fragile trilogy of episodes finally drops. Full disclosure - we recorded the first Fragile ep and much like Trent's first attempts in Big Sur to record the album, antics from outside our control conspired to delay it. Very meta. Because we will only release the BEST of quality for our dear listeners. We plan to finish the recordings Sunday the 29th - promise.
In the meantime we have this gem from the archives. Recorded via webX by Mix Master Eric, so not as clean as our typical in person sessions but still a fun talk. We took about 90 minutes to wax(trax) lovingly about what we consider the Big Three of Industrial Music - Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, and Ministry. Three bands we may have discovered if not for Trent, but for kids our age he certainly hastened up the process. Considering that the NIN break away from the industrial sound was the Fragile, we thought this might be a good place to drop this discussion into our discography. We go into the history of the bands, our history with the bands, best albums, and do not hesitate to call them out for when two of them went way off the deep end. But it's all from a place of love. A little Front Line Assembly chatter as well.
And boy howdy, A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste is still a classic. My goodness.
Thank you for your patience and you'll hear us talking about actual Nine Inch Nails again very soon.

In this episode, Marc, Steve, and Eric conclude their discussion of Nothing Records with a deeper look at Marilyn Manson. We discuss the album Antichrist Superstar and go track by track looking for all the ways Marilyn Manson was trying to shock your parents and make you feel like you were rebelling against social norms and constructs. We look at how Trent Reznor sheparded the sound of Marilyn Manson's first two records and where the band went from there.

Before we get really silly about the Fragile, we pause for another moment to discuss to the genesis and artist roster of Nothing Records, Trent Reznor's record label. We briefly talk about Prick (again), Pop Will Eat Itself, Pig, 2wo, 12 Rounds, Meat Beat Manifesto, The The, Einstruzende Neubauten, Autechre, Plaid, Plug, Squarepusher, and the Bowling Green. Of course, we'll talk about Marilyn Manson, but that's an entire episode on its own. In fact, it will be the next episode, so stay tuned!

Marc, Steve, and Eric are joined by Joe Vierra to complete our discussion on the timeframe between the release of The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. We discuss Trent Reznor's work on the game soundtrack Quake, the soundtrack to David Lynch's Lost Highway, The Perfect Drug single and video, the tour and video collection of Closure, and all the remixes he produced for a variety of artists and bands. Eric and Marc manage to fight about instrumental music, Joe gives everyone a history lesson on Drum 'n Bass music from the mid-90's, and Steve moderates it all. Jump in as we wade through 5 years of Nine Inch Nails doing anything else besides releasing a full length album.

In this episode, Marc, Steven, and Eric are joined by Joe Vierra to discuss the years between The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. In this time, Trent Reznor delved into the world of soundtracks. First, he submitted a track to the film The Crow and normally we would mention it and move on. However, Steven has such an emotional connection to the film, he wanted to go track by track and discuss the film. We will not be doing that for the Tomb Raider soundtrack. Also, we dip our feet into the band Prick because Eric loves to tell the story how he saw them open for Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie. Finally, we get into the nonsense of the film and soundtrack of Natural Born Killers. This at least makes sense, because Trent arranged the entire soundtrack for the film so we'd better talk about it.

In this episode, Marc, Eric, and Steven complete their discussion on The Downward Spiral and this time it wasn't deleted. You the lucky listener finally get to hear Eric break down the album into a three act narrative. We also venture into the Closer/Closer to God singles and the remix release of Further Down the Spiral. Eric once again defends 25 remixes of one song that repeats the same sound for 12 minutes whilst Marc and Steven do their best to figure out if Dave Ogilive prefers to be called Rave.

In this episode, your intrepid hosts delve into the abyss that is The Downward Spiral. Well, the first half anyway. We go over pop culture events that were lighting up the charts in 1994, the origins of The Downward Spiral recording, and the videos that blurred out nudity and had missing scenes peppered throughout. Speaking of missing scenes, the last twenty minutes were lost to the editing gods, so this episode ends on a cliffhanger. Will Eric get the time to act out his three act narrative based on The Downward Spiral? Will Steven finally nail his impression of a screeching guitar solo by just using vocal sounds? Will Marc even show up on the next episode after being fired for losing the last half of the episode? Tune in!

In this episode of POD LIKE A HOLE your hosts, Steven E. Chambers, Eric Anderson, and Marc Branstad give you a track by track analysis of Nine Inch Nails' EP Broken and a breakdown of the subsequent remix album Fixed. We also delve into the never officially released Broken long form video that, by all intents and purposes, was not safe for humanity.
Marc thinks Nine Inch Nails have never played two particular songs from the catalog live (they have). Eric sounds like he's recording in a faraway land (He's not.) We all continue to make mouth guitar sounds when describing the music, so everyone wins!
List of Nine Inch Nails Videos from Broken
Welcome to episode 1 of Pod Like A Hole. In this episode Marc, Steven, and Eric take you through the first four Halo releases of Nine Inch Nails and give a track by track analysis of Nine Inch Nails debut album, Pretty Hate Machine. We also spend a little time discussing what Trent Reznor was up to before Nine Inch Nails and why we like them/him so damn much.
