2014 has come to a close, so that means it is time to reflect on all the awesome music released this year. Join Brad as he discusses the great, the disappointing, and the conspicuously absent.

Today's episode topic is on rap legends The Beastie Boys with my brother Doug. No further explanation is needed.

Sorry for the extensive delay. Things have been hectic here as of late. But we're back with another solo episode on the stoned out post-rock collective Black Math Horseman. The band only stuck around for just one record, but what a record it was. Brad discusses ladies in rock and mythical figures. It's great stuff.

Girl Power is apparently strong enough to overcome any number of technical setbacks, as Episode Four is finally here despite everything breaking down this week. Brad is joined by his friend (?) Leah Hostetler, who admits that she wanted to test his willpower by selecting the 90's pop supergroup. But, is she in for a surprise by his reaction? (HINT: Kind of). But as the unventilated hotbox they recorded in starts to become unbearable, will Brad's smug superiority win out over his crippling heat exhaustion? (HINT: No). The two also discuss Brad's unfortunate fashion choices and play a round of 'Spice Girls Solo Album or Brand of Perfume'.   ***EDITOR'S NOTE: Sorry for the sound quality in some stretches. I tried to clean it up as best I could.***

Brad flies solo today in a short, drunken retrospective of the early 90's dancehall inspired hip-hop collective Fu Schnickens. He discusses Hip-Hop's Golden Age, Hip-Hop's possible new Golden Age, and basketball legend/Kind-of Rapper Shaquille O'Neal. He also disses Lupe Fiasco for jacking the beat to 'T.R.O.Y', and says the word 'technical' a lot. Fun Stuff.

Brad sits down with his friend/all-around solid guy Justin Schumacher to discuss their mutual love of stoner/desert/fuzz/whatever rock titans Truckfighters. They also discuss pop versus rock music, killing bats, and the many various concerts the two have gone to together. Also, a lot of drinking. It's all capped off by a rousing game of 'Truckfighters Drummer or Spaghetti Western Character' with a special guest appearance by The Sugardale. Good times are had by all. Enjoy.

On the first episode of Deep Rotation, Brad welcomes his friend Andy to discuss the 'gypsy punk' collective Gogol Bordello. The two also get sidetracked talking about growing up together as angry Catholic punks. Plus, we all learn about the value of looking past stereotypes with the help of a hastily assembled quiz. So, crack one open, get your purple on, and enjoy.

This mini-episode is a primer on what Deep Rotation is all about.
