2 Twins & An Album

Episode 90 - Boston 'Walk On'

Toph leads the discussion and review of Boston's 1994 album ‘Walk On’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

 

The boys return with -- much like last episode -- a release outside of a band’s commercial peak, but with the distinctive sound and songwriting that made it sneaky commercially successful.  Join us as we plow through Boston’s fourth album -- as well as other topics including band feuds, a movie recco from Toph, making America great again, Emily Latella, and other worthwhile/worthless nuggets from your two favorite twin bozos.  We Need Your Love…So Surrender to Us…and let’s Walk On together through Episode 90.  I know that We Can Make It.

 

This one’s for Steve-O.

Lovin...Touchin...Squeezin...and Podcastin.  The boys return with one you more likely than not never heard -- where the question will be asked, would you want to hear this again?.  It's Journey: the early days on today's episode, as the gents explore this pre-Steve Perry excursion, the final album before the band's commercial explosion.  Join as we discuss living out of a suitcase, million dollar voices, our out-of-nowhere-good MLB teams, our some-what-expected-good NFL teams, Vegas recovery, Lionel Richie fan clubs -- and, provide our Journey top 5.  So give a listen...then let's touch...and go our separate ways.

Episode 88 - The Four Seasons ‘Who Loves You’

HEOOOOOOOO!!!  The boys from the Mitten State talk about the boys from Jersey -- as we jog through this short, yet efficient, jaunt of an album.  And when not doing so, the boys are joined by a New Jersey native herself (that one of the hosts happens to share a house with) to test skills, knowledge, and expertise of The Garden State.  That’s right – it’s Nubs vs. Mrs. Toph, a Jersey Trivia showdown.  (brought to you by Miller Lite).  And in between the shenanigans, we actually talk about a rather fascinating front man, album and group that found themselves at the “later” part of their careers.  In 1975.  So put on your Devils face paint and let’s do this.

Join us on this whimsical, multi-genre adventure.  One that was a critical A+, and a commercial not-so-much during a time where the scene just may not have been ready for something so.  Well.  Throwback.  Rediscover, or discover for the first time, a group that both gents enjoy getting others hooked on.  It’s always sunny on 2 Twins & An Album…and we hope Episode 87 is no exception.  Be there.

It’s been five months.  But we’re gonna see if we still got it.  May our voices be sturdy…may our technology be reliable…may our feet be swift…may our bats be mighty…may our balls, be plentiful.  We are again stuck in the early 80’s – so join us as we dive into this junior year classic (or was it?) from this original/unoriginal five-piece at its peak.  Welcome back!

But today, it's not about Eminem -- it's about the tantric one, and his two friends. Who weren't actually friends at all.  Yes, we're talking about the PohPoh...the fuzz...5-0...John Law.  Otherwise known as, The Police.  Join us in our valiant return as we briefly air grievances, play a game, then dive into this acclaimed-yet-fairly-lopsided finale from this interesting trio.  Enjoy!
