It's time for another birthday spanking! It was Dylan's turn to find an album to punish Justin, and boy did he knock it out of the park...but at what cost? We are talking about noisy art punk band Half Japanese, and their debut 2 hour long album 1/2 Gentlemen / Not Beasts. Strap in folks, this is a tough one.

This week Justin is joined by comedian, writer, and podcast host Adam Tod Brown. Adam broke through during the heyday of Cracked.com, and turned that into the successful You Don't Even Like Podcasts Network. Adam selected the lesser known album prompt, and we are talking about a good mix of different kind of sounds.

Dylan was assigned the year 2004, and selected the third and final album by Żegota. Originally from Greensboro, NC the band recorded Reclaim! in Sweden, where the bands guitarist was living at the time. Żegota played a mix of punk, hardcore, and experimental music, and may be one of the most obscure bands we've covered on the show.

This week Dylan was given the year 2014 and selected the debut album by Dark Blue. Featuring past guests of the show John Sharkey III and Andy Nelson, Dark Blue was a mix of the noisiness of Sharkey's Clockcleaner with the melodicism of his solo project Puerto Rico Flowers.

It's SKAUGUST! We kick off our yearly tradition with Justin's pick from the year 1988. This was a very bad year for ska, hence why we are talking about Ranking Roger's debut solo album, Radical Departure (a record that can barely be called ska.)

This week we are checking a big one off of our list. Justin was given the year 1991, and selected The Pillars of Humanity. This was the final album for Fresno, CA based crossover thrash band, The Crucified. This record is often sited as one of the most important Christian hardcore / metal bands of all time, but how does it stand up to our taste today.

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
