Make It Stop: A Bad Music Podcast

Today's episode finds our heroes waxing philosophic about the nature of art, music, and ultimately life--while analyzing the shrieking, dispassionate autotuned wailing and aggressive GarageBand synth lines of Farrah Abraham's 2012 atrocity/masterpiece My Teenage Dream Ended. Joined by #Cobbcast host and producer Brian Melanson, the team digs deep into the autobiographical, arguably anti-musical screechy glitch-pop album and puzzles over whether this is a hauntingly and effective Crystal Castles-esque magnum opus, or an inane and infuriating audio catastrophe the likes of which have been described by Jezebel as "the worst collection of sounds ever put to a recording".

Episode 2 finds our heroes Mike and Heather wading knee deep in the schlockiest, most useless vanity project ever--Bruce Willis' "Return of Bruno", a 2 part mockumentary/concert and tepid, schmaltzy album of the same name. Rewrite history with us as we discover Bruno invented the Beatles, psychedelia, and basically everything else that ever happened in music, period--with his very own bland and flavorless take on white dad Motown. It's a blast...that should have stayed long in the past. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For Episode 1 of Make it Stop, our podcast dedicated to dredging up and dissecting the worst albums of all time, Mike and Heather blow their load early with one of the most catastrophic collections of sounds ever made. Characterized by screeching cookie monster vocals, mysoginistic toddler lyrics, and shallow, brittle casio keyboard beats, brokenCYDE, a band whose name describes our general attitudes after listening to this trash, made it inexplicably big in the late 2000s with their crunkcore "hit" I'm not a Fan, but the Kids like it. Kids, I can guarantee, you won't. But have a gander anyway, and see if you can make it through...before you have to yell "Make it Stop". Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
