As a follow-up to his Tragedy Tuesday about the Pono Player, Leigh brings us up to speed on TIDAL, the "audiophile" streaming service. Less disaster, more questionable money grab? Also, a round-up of our favorite albums and songs of 2020 to round out the year before heading into our hiatus!

Peter and Leigh announce the end of the first phase of this disaster and our triumphant return in April 2021! A temporary pause in our regular weekly releases, some teasers of what's to come, and our sincerest thanks. We'll see you all on April 7, 2021 (and for a disaster or two before then)...

If the history of the saxophone's invention had a soundtrack, it certainly wouldn't be smooth jazz. An inventor that just wouldn't quit, despite the world doing its best to stop him in his tracks. Blunt force trauma, poisoning, drowning, viciously jealous rivals, and a giant cannon.

In this edition of Album Autopsy, Try-All Andy joins us as we are collectively baffled by a supposed radical departure in musical genres. An album not reviled, but hardly beloved... what happens when an artist endeavors to try something different, but doesn't quite make it off the beaten path?

What do you get when you go on a quest for high-fidelity portable audio, but forget to bring the design sensibilities? Neil Young's Toblerone Player... I mean, Pono Player. Is that triangular prism in your pocket, or are you just pretending to hear the difference? FLAC, MP3, too much money, too little product.
Leigh's song pick:: Piece of Crap by Neil Young

In the late 18th century, the Netherlands really had it out for Iceland. Maybe it was all the red-hot magma, acid rain, and sulfur-filled air, courtesy of the Laki craters? Fire, brimstone, a Dutch hate-boner, and a fire priest.

Why teach a class about 1930s German's descent into fascism when you can just show the whole school how it's done? Not-so-secret salutes, rigorous discipline, a nation-wide underground, and a magnificent leader...

Leaning into "... and the music they make us listen to" from our tagline, Leigh and Peter discuss where universally panned albums went wrong. In this inaugural edition, we talk about what happens when you seemingly pull two artists out of a hat and mash them together. "I am the table". Lou Reed, Metallica, and Lulu.
Listen to the album:

In a time after hair metal was king, Great White were still carrying the flame... unfortunately, it was right into a venue filled with highly flammable material and no sprinkler system. Made up words, pyrotechnics, heavy black smoke, and a reason to never go to a live show again...
Leigh's song pick:: You Fucked Up by Ween

A new feature is born! With our shift to one major disaster a month (in addition to regularly scheduled Tragedy Tuesdays), we'll be trying out new features to take the place of the second major disaster. Don't think of it as losing a disaster, so much as gaining new content. This time: Ruinous Rewind with Peter and Gerri. Can Peter retell the Plague of Athens in 10 minutes? Will Gerri have new insights into a familiar tale since she, like, totally "listens" to the show? Only time, and you listening to this episode will tell!
