This week we’re discussing the latest album by Queens of the Stone Age, In Times New Roman… We’ve talked about Josh Homme on this show before (see our Kyuss and Them Crooked Vultures episodes), and much of how we feel about him hasn’t changed in terms of how he makes records. This album isn’t a huge jump in any direction, mostly just more of the same. But none of it is bad and if you’re a die hard fan, this record will scratch that itch.

This week we’re discussing Kyuss. While known by many as the band who introduced the world to Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, Kyuss also helped push forward stoner metal and “desert rock.” This was a comfort episode for Alex, who’s been a fan for years, but Mike has mixed feelings about the band. Heavy and satisfying band. Dig it.
Closing track: “Catamaran” from …And the Circus Leaves Town (1995)

Episode 81: Them Crooked Vultures
This week we’re talking about supergroup Them Crooked Vultures. Made up of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), this is a lineup that is almost superhuman. Because each of these musicians is world-famous and likely very busy, Them Crooked Vultures have only released one album, although it is possible we might get another in the future. This is a nice, short episode for a change.
Closing track: “Bandoliers” from Them Crooked Vultures (2009)
