My Favorite Album is Terrible, Ep. 14: Smash Mouth’s “Astro Lounge” with MADQUEEN’s Jaki Howser
“Hey, now...you’re an all-star.” Jaki Howser of local rock band MADQUEEN joins us to discuss pop culture staple “Astro Lounge,” by Smash Mouth. Love it or hate it, you know it. We'll also discuss her role as a high school music teacher, whether or not the kids are, in fact, okay, and mental health.
My Favorite Album is Terrible, Ep. 12: Bob Dylan’s “Desire” with Paula Brehm-Heeger
For this very special episode, we chat with none other than our library's Eva Jane Romaine Coombe Director, Paula Brehm-Heeger. She'll be bringing with her Associated Press reporter and CHPL alumni Scott Bauer to discuss Bob Dylan's "Desire." Well-loved though it is, does "Desire" get overlooked in favor of other more popular Dylan albums? We'll also discuss some super exciting updates coming to your downtown Main Library!
My Favorite Album is Terrible, Ep. 11: Kanye West’s “Yeezus” with Kick Lee
A chat with producer and musician Kick Lee of the Cincinnati Music Accelerator about Kanye West’s 2013 album “Yeezus.” Kick Lee is easily one of the most important figures to Cincinnati’s music and art scene, and we had a great time talking about this album by the man who’s pretty much come to be the official dictionary entry for the word “divisive.”
My Favorite Album is Terrible, Ep. 10: The Beach Boys’ “15 Big Ones”
For this episode, PF Wilson joins us. PF is a comedian, podcast host, and content director for local staple Cincy Shirts, and he wanted to chat about The Beach Boys' 1976 album "15 Big Ones." A mix of covers and originals, many of the songs have an unfinished quality. For PF, this is part of the charm.
My Favorite Album is Terrible, Ep. 09: Metallica’s “Load”
A discussion about Metallica's alleged descent into "dad metal" with their 1996 record "Load" in which we chat (argue) with Dustin Bingaman of local metal band Crypt Seeker.
My Favorite Album Is Terrible, Ep. 08: Jay Electronica’s “A Written Testimony”
For this episode of "My Favorite Album is Terrible," we're joined by retired library royalty and Success Via Chess founder Norm Holloway and music/sports trash talk expert Chris Oliver. The topic of discussion will be rapper Jay Electronica's 2020 album, "A Written Testimony." Norm thinks it's a masterpiece and Chris thinks it's an overrated album claiming to be something it's not. Let the battle begin!
My Favorite Album is Terrible, Ep. 07: Weezer’s “Red” with Keith Good
For this episode, we're joined by Keith Good from our Green Township Branch, who wanted to discuss Weezer's "Red" album. Should Weezer have kept making music after their "Blue" and "Pinkerton" records? Join us to find out. And be on the lookout for a sneaky Easter egg for our fellow retro video game nerds out there.
