Diggin' with Peter and Dre

Diggin' with Peter and Dre

By Peter

Peter's got a problem: Too much music and not enough attention span. Dre's got a problem, too: Peter's taking her along with him.

Every episode Peter gets a random album from his collection, and Dre experiences it with him, good, bad, or amazing.

DwPD - 076 - 'Star Wars' by John Williams

DwPD - 076 - 'Star Wars' by John Williams

Peter re-discovers that Dre is sorely lacking in her 'Star Wars' experiences, but they tromp their way through one of the most iconic film scores ever produced anyway.

DwPD - 075 - 'Fall Be Kind' by Animal Collective

Do Peter and Dre encounter an EP in Peter's collection that's he's not actually all that familiar with? It's more likely than you might think. Did 'Fall Be Kind' live up to the hype from Animal Collective's prior album, 'Merriweather Post Pavilion'? Let's get diggin'...

DwPD - 073 - 'Danzig' by Danzig

DwPD - 073 - 'Danzig' by Danzig

Peter and Dre listen to a seminal hard rock album from 1988 that asks all the important questions, like "Am I Evil?": Danzig's self-titled debut. We come to some possibly surprising conclusions about who the least important person on these recordings might be, and and ponder the comparisons for Glenn's voice.

DwPD - 072 - 'Excitable Boy' by Warren Zevon

Warren Zevon might never have gotten the universal acclaim that one of either Peter or Dre thinks he deserves (we'll leave it as an exercise for the listener to determine which of them it is), but he still produced a thoughtful, occasionally funny, sometimes macabre album in 'Excitable Boy' from 1978. How does it stand up, and what (and where) exactly was Lee Ho Fooks?

DwPD - 071 - 'Urmur Bile Trax Volume 1 & 2' by μ-Ziq

We struggle with the pronunciation of "μ-Ziq" more than we probably should, but 'Urmur Bile Trax Volume 1 & 2' turns out to be surprisingly straightforward of a listen. Be sure to keep your ear open for our sideline into racing games like 'Mario Kart' and 'F-Zero' because there's going to be a quiz after class, and you'll need to know where this drum-n-bass album fits into the whole equation.

Peter and Dre explore the seminal and important hip-hop album in A Tribe Called Quest's debut effort, 'People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm'. In it, Dre recalls how this brings back memories and where the album feels like, and Peter reveals some of the many limitations of his hip-hop awareness (while somehow still managing to get in a relevant reference to Frank Zappa).

The first concert Peter and Dre ever attended together was to see Thievery Corporation live, and now they get to talk about their fourth studio album, 'The Cosmic Game'. It's a cool blend of all sorts of styles and genres into a smooth concoction, but does it hold up to scrutiny?

DwP - 030 - '¡Simpatico!' by Velocity Girl

DwP - 030 - '¡Simpatico!' by Velocity Girl

Peter and Dre take on a great year in music... but not one of the good releases from 1994. And feel a little bad about it, because Velocity Girl's 1994 album is nice enough, but... it's just... there.

DwP - 029 - 'S.R.O' by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

Peter and Dre feel good about the game-show-meets-mariachi stylings of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass' 'S.R.O.'.

DwP - 028 - 'Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection'

Peter and Dre have some very different perspectives on this seminal compilation of novelty records. Somewhere along the way, they try to figure out the different between parody and satire, and then how that applies to novelty in general.

DwP - 027 - 'Junjo' by Esperanza Spalding

Peter and Dre express their undying love for Esperanza Spalding and (spoiler alert) come very close to declaring this as essential listening.
