Six Picks Music Club

Clap Tracks | feat. U2, ACDC, John Cougar Mellencamp, The Flaming Lips + more

Episode 030: It's our dirty thirty, and we're celebrating with a show that'll have you clapping... and maybe visiting your doctor! This week on Six Picks Music Club, we're exploring songs featuring hand claps AND the other kind of clap (you know, the one that burns when you pee). Join us as we groove to the infectious beats (pun intended) of John Cougar Mellencamp, The Flaming Lips, and AM Taxi, while trying not to catch whatever Screeching Weasel, AC/DC, and U2 are spreading around. Between doses of antibiotics and clap beats, Geoff, Dave, and Russ dive into the etymology of the word "business," debate the merits of various prophylactics, and somehow manage to work in some holiday cheer.
 
Remember kids: wrap it before you clap it!

Chill the Eff Out | feat. Spoon, Cat Stevens, Ceschi, Stevie Ray Vaughan + more

Episode 029: Take a deep breath, fellow music lovers—no, seriously, BREATHE. After the chaos of election season and the general dumpster fire that's been the past few months, Six Picks Music Club is prescribing a much-needed audio chill pill. Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave as they guide you through a meditative journey from stress to serenity. We're starting with the zen mastery of Cat Stevens, the hypnotic grooves of Spoon, and the soulful tranquility of City and Colour to help lower those blood pressure numbers. Once we've achieved maximum chill, we'll gradually lift our spirits with the enlightened vibes of Ceschi, the soul-stirring guitar of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the euphoric sounds of Broken Social Scene. Between deep breaths and meditation tips, the guys find time to contemplate the erasure of the future (heavy, man) and share what might be the greatest middle school insult ever recorded. Consider this episode your musical Xanax—minus the prescription and potential side effects.
 
Remember: inhale through the music, exhale through the bullsh!t. Namaste, f*ckers.

We'll be walking on sunshine with Katrina & the Waves, spinning right round (baby, right round) with Dead or Alive, and don't worry - we promise not to make you listen to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" on repeat like your local radio station did back in '88. But wait, there's more! We're blasting off with Peter Schilling's "Major Tom," proving that space was the place in the 80s. And of course, what would a trip back to the 80s be without doing the Safety Dance with Men Without Hats? As if that weren't enough to overload your Walkman, the guys dive into a totally mental discussion about the lyrics of some classic songs that'll have you saying, "Gag me with a spoon!" So, flip up your collar, grab a New Coke, and settle in for an episode that's more jam-packed than your Trapper Keeper. It's time to party like it's 1985 on Six Picks Music Club!
