That Awful Sound

This week we take on seriously chill Cali / stoner / Christian? / skater anthem? “Heaven is a Halfpipe” by goateed punsters OPM. We’ve got a blatant stab at radioplay that is as confusing as it is repetitive, comments from the singer 15 years after the song’s release, and a one-note music video that nonetheless leads to a 10 minute riff on JNCO culture. Also: the return of terrible band member nicknames & album titles, possible premeditated controversy vs. actual controversy, and tributes to Grandpa in the YouTube comment section. PLUS: Join the new Facebook group to get advance notice on which episodes we’re doing! Your memories and jokes might make it on the air.
