Listen: 'Music's Worst Ideas,' A Dan and Dan Music Podcast Playlist
From Milli Vanilli to 'Xanadu.'
The new episode of The Dan and Dan Music Podcast playlist kicks around a very serious question: Historically speaking, what have been 'Music's Worst Ideas'?
Dan Reed of WXPN and I discuss Garth Brooks as Chris Gaines, Milli Vanilli, the 1978 Sgt. Pepper movie, and more, along with a variety of other topics, including Dr. Dre's Compton album and the Straight Outta Compton movie, the end of the Columbia House record club and the greatest album-opening tracks of all time. You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes here, like it on Facebook here and follow on Twitter here and listen on Soundcloud here.
And before or after you do that, you can check to the Spotify playlist below, which is made up of songs discussed on the Worst Ideas episode. Which doesn't mean all the music contained therein is awful: We talked about some good stuff, too, like new songs by Foals and Titus Andronicus, and not-bad-at-all Sgt. Pepper Beatles covers by Earth, Wind & Fire and Aerosmith. And lucky for you, some of the sounds discussed, like the Cher-Gregg Allman album Allman & Woman are not available on Spotify.
