Introducing The Black Crowes

Popular opinion amongst Crowes fans is that this is their finest work. Recorded in 8 off the back of a monster tour in support of Shake Your Money Maker, this is the album that most fans consider to be the defining sound of the band. So will Corey focus in on this creative shift or will he instead take us down the path of pyschopathic avicidal femme fatales? Will Kev be on board with Remedy now that he's had a chance to sit with the song a little longer, and are there any cheeses that you've been particulalry enjoying lately?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and spill your secrets on me!Songs covered in this episode: "Sting Me", "Remedy", "Thorn in My Pride", "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye", "Sometimes Salvation"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the OUCHpod!!! Or is the UCC? Well, we have the potential for a new number one album in the overall UCC rankings based on last week's scores. But can Side B hold up to Side A? We ruminate on Rod Stewart vs Mick Jagger, Corey gives Kev some food for thought on the last verse of She Talks to Angels, and we're interrupted by animals on a second podcast recording of the day for both of us. Will our plucky hosts have the stamina to pull off this double pod day? Will Hard to Handanah live up to its reputation and will Corey bamboozle Kev with the Birthday game?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and let it go on to the wind!Songs covered in this episode: "Hard to Handle", "Thick n' Thin", "She Talks to Angels", "Struttin' Blues", "Stare It Cold"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSE Hosted on Acast.

"Cheat the odds that made you brave to try to gamble at times. Well I feel like dirty laundry sendin' sickness on down the line."Not a bad way to kick off your debut, but is it the perfect opener for this record? Why did Corey quit his career as a professional luchador, and what in god's name is that racket outside?? It sounds like a cat being interfered with by a racoon on meth!!! Anyway, we're back with the first album in a brand new season. This is a band Corey and Kev are both fans of so will they be able to find the cracks in the Crowe's arsenal? The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and paint a smile from ear to ear!Songs covered in this episode: "Twice As Hard", "Jealous Again", "Sister Luck", "Could I've Been So Blind", "Seeing Things"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSE Hosted on Acast.

Kev's back, Corey's front, and we're all set for Season Seven! We're heading back to Georgia to talk about a greasy, grimy rock n roll band fronted by a pair of feuding brothers and a cast of very quietly superb sidemen who released the antidote to grunge in 1991 and went on to build a three decade plus career touring constantly and putting out uncompromisingly blues-soaked, riff-laden, groove-heavy albums. But will Kev be able to get past his mental road block with the Crowes sophomore release? Will Corey find a single point to dock on the debut? And does anyone have the number of a reliable tailor?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and shake your money maker!Albums covered this season; "Shake Your Money Maker", "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion", "Amorica", "Three Snakes and One Charm", and "By Your Side"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

One last special episode to close out season six!We thought we'd take two songs by artists we're pretty sure we'll never cover on "The Clash" and put them through our usual review process. Kev pulled out one of the most iconic electronic hits from the early 80s and Corey took a very Canadian line, picking an artist Kev had never heard of! But will the sparse, dark synth pop of OMD spin Corey's doughnut? And will Kev dig some CanCon rock n roll?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and grab the reigns (my feelings still remain)Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Kev and Corey are going head to head!Kev's away visiting family and the boys didn't want to start a new season while he's over in England. God only knows what gibberish he'll be filling his head with! Probably not much worse than the crap he'll be filling his belly with! In the meantime, we decided that we'd set up a bracket by picking sixteen albums each, from the ones we've reviewed, and pit them against each other on Discord, to see which one will reign supreme! But will Corey load up on Metallica? Will Kev sacrifice any top picks to secure beloved favourites? And will someone turn off that damn car alarm!!!!???The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and put me in coach, I'm ready to play!Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Four albums. Eight sides. Eight episodes. We promised you a shorter, tighter season and we delivered it!What will Scott make of R.E.M.? Who will win the right to choose the artist for season seven and will Corey pull off an overtime win this season's game? But most importantly; if the square on the hypoteneuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two remaining sides, does that mean Pythagorus was a riot at parties, or was he given a wide berth?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and sohcahtoa!Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSEKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Time to gussy up your rootin' tootin' shootin' hootin' shoes and head own down to the barn, we's havin' a hoe down boys!!! That's how Americans speak, right? I guess the ones with not too many teeth do but most of our listeners are sauve, sophisticated types and to those, I apologize wholeheartedly for the aspertions cast. ANYWAY! We're listening to an album from The Boss this week! And it's a big one, with lots of singles. But will Kev love the overtures of Mr. Springsteen and will Corey try to tie "I'm on Fire" to some sort of sexual rash?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and spend half your life just coverin' up!Songs covered in this episode: "Born in the U.S.A.", "Cover Me", "Darlington County", "Working on the Highway", "Downbound Train", "I'm on Fire", "No Surrender", "Bobby Jean", "I'm Goin' Down", "Glory Days", "Dancing in the Dark", "My Hometown"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSE Hosted on Acast.

“A hole in the wall, maybe four feet by four feet, that started around your ankles. You had to hunker down, nearly crawl your way in, and once you were inside it was a whole other world. Dark wood, exposed brick, stone and shadows. The sharp waft of beer, cigarette smoke, the sweet funk of weed and rot. Music pumping. Extension cords snaking to the speakers, drums set up beneath a bedsheet, voices, laughter, college kids standing around with bellies full of beer, maybe some pills, definitely that frisson of being in the right place, with the right people, maybe even at the right time.”- Peter Ames CarlinCorey is away on important national security work. He says it's not spying "per se" but he can't tell me which country he's in and has told me I can't ask him any questions about plutonium. Oh, also, the superb author and journalist Peter Ames Carlin dropped by to talk about his brilliant book, "The name of this band is R.E.M." which Kev devoured ahead of jumping into this season. We chat about Peter's musical background, why he wanted to write about this band in particular, lots (of course) about the band themselves and a little bit o' The Boss, who's the subject of his most recent work.But will Kevin flub the intro and will he force Peter to play any ridiculous games before he signs off?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and disappear down Flamingo Lane.Go find Peter's works, including his biography of R.E.M. on his website: https://www.peteramescarlin.com/booksDon't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSE Hosted on Acast.

And just like that we're wrapping up Season Six! We cover Side B of R.E.M.'s last multi-platinum-selling album, Monster. There's a lot more cock talk than you might have imagined heading in as Kev and Corey announce their new live musical project! But, will anyone get banged? Will anyone be blamed? Are we heading back into Thunderbird territory with a tribute to a fallen rocker on this side of the album, and will Corey be able to throw a Hail Mary pass to pick up the four points he needs to tie this season's game and scupper Kev's chance to win it for the first time?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and just leave it.Songs covered in this episode: "Tongue", "Bang and Blame", "I Took Your Name", "Let Me In", "Circus Envy", "You"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/mz9ymTwSSE Hosted on Acast.
