The boys sort of like this album.  They view it as okay at best.  Listen as they talk about how they wish it could have gone beyond its mediocrity, and how it's one that they would listen to more often if it wasn't so average.

 

 

Ya, on?  Hey we hope you enjoyed our little joke, there...this is Nubs and Toph, we just wanted to take a minute to thank you for listening to our latest -- and 25th -- episode.  We spent a few hours, eatin' pie, workin on it.....we hope you enjoy it.   Cluck.  Caw.

Toph leads the discussion and review of The Doors' 1971 album 'L.A. Woman' – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

 

The gents discuss the finale from this important, surprisingly short-lived band -- who showed us that having a damn good time while playing the blues is more than possible.  Hear the boys reveal who the true irreplaceable member of The Doors actually was...discuss that one vacation where all they wanted to see was a cemetary...while also noting the tremendous quantity of butts in the Oliver Stone movie.  So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon and touch us, baby.  Can't you see that we are not afraid.
