Musical Shenanigans
Musical Shenanigans is a podcast about Rolling Stone’s ranking of the Top 500 Albums of All Time. But it is absolutely not what you think. Yes, we talk about the albums. But we do things a little differently around here. We choose two albums at random, put them in a cage together, and let them fight it out to determine which one is better. Each match is part of a March Madness-style Playoff Bracket, with the goal of determining, for ourselves, the best album of all time, based on our limited knowledge, lack of credibility, and non-existent credentials. We also discuss current music-related news and other topics, come up with really stupid quizzes. And sometimes, if we are feeling saucy, we may give you a song, fake commercial, or some other such nonsense. Please invite Cory, Dave, and Scott (alphabetically by height) into your ears for a whole new way of ranking albums.

We're officially in the back nine of our Elite Eight round ... OK, that doesn't sound quite right.
Let's try that again: we did four already but now we're steady and then they went one-two-three-Rubber Soul. Nope, still doesn't work.
OK fine, let's just cut to the point. We're listening to Rubber Soul today. Join us, won't you?

We originally recorded this on Mother's Day, but we were bound and determined to get it out by Father's Day. Our Elite Eight Listening Parties continue - this time featuring Fleetwood Mac's 1977 classic Rumours: a therapy session masking as an album. Rumours takes on the album from our last Listening Party: Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy.
In our middle discussion, we pick apart the rise and fall of B-sides, including those that b...
Greetings all,
This harkens back to the year 2022 - a full lifetime ago.
The centerpiece comes from our most downloaded show called "Dinner Theater" and the presumption is that it is due to this bit. However, we have been known to be very, very wrong.
The joke is old, but there is an explainer in the beginning (yes, mansplaining pairs well with Ye, don't ya think?).
As always, we appreciate you listening.
Peace, Love, and Coffee,

The Elite Eight continues! As we move on to the third of our Listening Party episodes, we turn our attention to the moment Led Zeppelin stopped ripping off other people's music and started relying solely on their own ... 1973's Houses of the Holy, all accompanied by our trademark analysis, random thoughts, unrelated tangents and total non sequiturs. Not to mention a little fun and games when Cory puts Dave and Scott to the test on ...
In our last episode, we did a full play through of Led Zeppelin's debut album, which had no official title, but is often referred to colloquially as "Led Zeppelin I". Today, as our "Elite Eight" round continues, we give you a full play through of its challenger: Pink Floyd's iconic dive into the depths of madness, The Dark Side of the Moon.
Then put on your low rise jeans and pop open a Surge ... TRL is almost on. Gen X'ers th...
Greetings everyone!
We are experimenting with our little short episodes from earlier discussions, quizes, and bits. These little minisodes are remastered, sanitized, and ribbed for your pleasure.
This episode covers when songs go into the Public Domain and a song that Dave up from Scott's Great Grandfather.
The theme song was written by Alfredo Ipsen.

Look, we know that 2025 wasn't our finest moment. Among all the other dumpster fires last year, we had our least productive year ever - releasing just two regular episodes the entire year, plus whatever the hell that Christmas thing was.
But this year, we're turning over a new leaf - giving you new content on Day One, and resolving to increase our output in the coming weeks.
And as luck would have it, we're also kicking o...
What!?!? You thought we had gone away?
We're back with the show to end our last season, and it has taken us (mostly Cory) one long minute to make this happen.
Many apologies to those that have waited for so long - we thank you for your patience and patronage.
This is our longest show, yet - and maybe we should apologize??? Or not.
Peace, Love, and Coffee

Hello again! Yes, this show is incredibly tardy and will be sent to the Vice Principal's office to discuss why we are so late - and the answer that will get you additional after school detention days is "the bell rang before we got here!"
Otherwise, here are the next two rounds in the Sweet Sixteen:
Round 1
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
vs
The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here Are the Sex Pistols
Round 2
NAS - Illmatic

We are down to the final sixteen albums and the format has changed yet again.
Two iconic and debut albums from Eric B and Rakim and Led Zeppelin go into the ring for round one.
Our second round will be Fiona Apple and her "When The Pawn..." album battling with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon".
Two albums enter, one album leaves. There are no heroes here.
Thank you...

We are whiddling down the albums and getting closer to the end of our March Sadness Bracket.
