That Awful Sound

This week we’re taking on Hoobastank and their gigantic, sorry-about-the-domestic-violence mega-hit, “The Reason,” whose music video features an inexplicable jewel heist. (probably a good idea in retrospect) My guest Michael remembers this being the moment his beloved Hoobastank “sold out”, we draw a definitive line between real music and fake music, I remember being forced to sing Christian parodies of popular secular songs (like this one), lead singer DougRobb sings a Sonic the Hedgehog theme about fistbumping, and much more. Music We Like: Joni Mitchel, The Roches, & Brand New’s “Science Fiction” Support the show for as little as $1/month and get weekly bonus episodes (including all past bonus episodes) in a private feed on your podcast app: Patreon.com/thatawfulsound
