Spring Break Forever Podcast

We've got a lot of good people in town this No Pants Sunday - including all the OG Spring Break Forever crew!  This month we're mining the internet for a nationwide list of drinking establishments with ridiculous names, having a "pooping at work" poetry slam, and discussing the cinematic works of a couple of actor/director auteurs known as The Insane Clown Posse.

One night back in the 80's, a curious young Bobby Hazzard flips the dial to his local tv station and watches Frankenstein on the Count Murray Show. This show started Bobby's obsession with horror movies and his life would never be this same. In this episode, Bobby sits down with his hometown horror movie host, Count Murray (aka the Kosher Count) and they discuss his years on the show.

Bobby sits down with Klint and Rhoades from Strange Faces for a few drinks and to talk about their new recordings. They also discuss random topics such as injuries, The Sweet, Bobby's beard grooming, and growing up with music.

REPENT, YE SINNERS! And prepare thyselves to be judged by….ALICE COOPER?!? Yes, one day rock ‘n’ roll’s most hedonistic bad boy arose from his Budweiser-filled bathtub and remembered that he was once Vincent Furnier, son of a preacher man, and it was time that Alice got born again and brought the good word to the children. But, being this is ALICE, after all, there’s an awful lot of bone-burning, flesh-eating, ass-spanking, clown-fearing tough love on the way to salvation, and to get there you also gotta listen to 2000’s “BRUTAL PLANET” and 2001’s “DRAGONTOWN”, the albums under discussion on this, the 7th episode of COOPERCAST! As Alice judges the denizens of Brutal Planet and Dragontown (that means YOU, if you didn’t figure that out), so too does he get judged by your clean-living and morally-upright Coopercast team of Bobby Hazzard, the lovely Ms. Hazzard, Nashville’s physician of fright Dr. Gangrene, and Troy Guinn of the Naschycast. Join us as we wade through this musical metaphorical morass to get to the

Bobby and Cool Cat Taylor, his band mate from The Mighty Jabronis, sit down for a discussion about pro wrestling and pro wrestling records. They both talk about how they got first into wrestling as kids. Cat talks about his time working the independents in the Tennessee area and why he quit. Many oddball wrestling songs are played.

It's Christmas time, and this episode is replete with holiday jams and high-octane winter beers.  We'll also throw out some gift suggestions for the people in your life who live that no-pants lifestyle.  A debate about the merits of "Raiders!" (a documentary about a fan-filmed remake of "Raiders of the Lost Ark") spins off into talk about cover bands. 

Warning: If you are of the faint of heart or easily offended, don't listen to this podcast. Bobby and Ms. Hazzard sit down with for an unfiltered/unedited talk with their old buddy, Deuce Hollingsworth from the Yuppie Pricks. Bobby and Deuce discuss the old days - the SXSW show where everybody left after the Pricks played and Bobby's band was up next and also how the Hazzards first met at a Yuppie Pricks Summer Beach Party. Deuce tells great stories about the Pricks: getting kicked off of Alternative Tentacles, getting run out of Johnson City, TN, and why the band recently broke up (hint: it's a word that rhymes with dump). They also discuss Deuce's new band Duderonomy.

Swing low, sweet cheerios! That’s essentially what your intrepid, decrepit Coopercasters are doing this time around, as we leave dear old Alice on the precipice of the year 2000, about to embrace the industrial metal age, and take the way-back deep-freezer to the late 60’s when he and his Alice Cooper Band compatriots are changing, arranging and embracing more musical trends than Spinal Tap and managing to sound like everything but the ACB the world would come to love and fear. Join host Bobby Hazzard, his lovely consort Ms. Hazzard, Nashville horror host Dr. Gangrene, and the Naschycast’s Troy Guinn as we examine some garage-rock “nuggets” released by the ACB band when they were known as The Spiders and The Nazz, followed by track-by-track discussions of the first two Alice Cooper Band albums, PRETTIES FOR YOU and EASY ACTION. In these early works, we find a band that can play the sh%t out of anything but thinks their appeal lies in the cult fringes of hippie freakout jams and Zappa-worshippers, and has no i

Bobby and Sweet Time review the new Ramones 40th Anniversary edition of their self titled debut. They discuss how much they love the new mono mix as well as other such Ramones nerdery like how they were introduced to the Ramones, overlooked 80's albums, favorite Ramones drummers, etc. They also discuus the possibility of doing a Ramones podcast in the future (Yes. That will happen) Special guest appearance by the Colonel.

This month brings a gluttonous program for the week of Thanksgiving in which a conversation about the ideal soundtracks to our No Pants Sundays spins off into a discussion of creepy bubblegum pop hits and free sass.  Then we break down the good and bad (mostly bad) of the 1980s horror/musical/morality tale/compilation film "Night Train to Terror."  Finally, recollections of the first five albums each of us owned devolves into drunken singalongs and public shamings. 

After they played their final show on their American tour at Third Man Records, Bobby invited New Zealand band Bloodbags over to Stately Hazzard Manor for a chat (And drinks. Lots of drinks). We also have SB4E alumni Rory from Cool Runnings on board for the party. The boys talk about their experiences in America, the punk scene in New Zealand, and their drummer's unique talent. As a special bonus, we have a special song that the Bloodbags recorded with Dan Kroha in the Third Man Voice-O-Graph booth that is exclusive only to this podcast.

Bobby continues the annual SB4E tradition with Mrs. Hazzard! For Gonerfest 13, we delve into what we did, bands we saw (and some we didn't), and the shooting (?!?) with our special guests from Austin, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee. Rob Yazzie can't remember which name to call Bobby. Heel Turn Records head Honcho Gary drops in to talk about his label and video games. Mrs. Hazzard hates Bobby's driving. Shawn Carpetbagger waxes philosophically. All this and more! Plus music from bands we loved at Gonerfest. Dig it!

No Pants Sunday is a new (low)lifestyle weekend podcast hosted by Bobby Hazzard, The Colonel, and Sweet Time.  For our premier, we outline the ethos of No Pants Sunday and discuss Deathgasm, a Kiwi horror flick that we watched on streaming.  (Because you don't have to put pants on to stream a movie.)  Sweet Time relates a story involving a VHS tape and public urination.

Welcome to the first episode of I Hate Music. Join Bobby Hazzard as he obsesses about music, record collecting, and how music has affected his life. In this episode, Bobby interviews Johnny Valiant from Sweet Knives. They talk about what's going on with the band and concessions that you might find at a U2 show. Next up is music writer, Andy Ross, who talks about his experience at the recent Brian Wilson show. Last but not least, Bobby, Sweet Time, and Count Brockula have a brief drunken discussion of I Drink Your Blood.

So this is what it has come to.  This is it.  This is the point where the train has run out of track, skidded off into the dust, rolled into a nest of beer snakes, exploded, and left nothing but a smoldering crater in the spot where once stood the Fluff N' Fold.  But at least we went out with a good buzz and some sweet tunes by the likes of Heavy Times, Poets of Rhythm, and Prix just to name a few.  It's been real.  It's been fun.  It's been real fun.  Thank y'all for coming on this ill-advised road trip with us.

Yes, the rumors in the trade publications are true.  The Fluff N' Fold lost its lease back in the spring.  Then the master recordings of our last episode were temporarily tied up in Sandusky with William Joel's corporate bankruptcy proceedings before they were secured by deft legal wrangling from Stately Hazard Manor.  Presented here is the first half of a two-part episode chronicling SB4E's final fling at the Fluff N' Fold.  Spins are given to essential jams by Wheeler Walker Jr. as well as Hackamore Brick.  There is a (mercifully) brief cameo by Sociopathic Frank Nelson.  Numerous references are made to Slaxxx's beloved cousin Fleetwood Bong.  The Colonel pitches several names for a hypothetical series of "dad beers."  We wax nostalgic and lament the decline of parlor tricks.  And Bobby keeps on pourin' us beers like throwing gasoline at a fire.  Join us, won't you, for the beginning of the end...

Welcome to Alice Cooper, late 80’s-early 90’s version, still testing and contesting with the musical trends, trying to find a comfortable crypt as the hair-anthems of the Eighties are giving way to the flannel-flyin’ grit of Nineties’ grunge. In this episode we traverse a trio of uneven but certainly NOT unworthy unspoolings of Alice: 1989’S TRASH, 1991’S HEY STOOPID, and 1994’S THE LAST TEMPTATION. It’s an odd array of killer riffs, hit-and-miss collaborations, slumming superstar guitar-slingers, montage-worthy choruses, face-palming ballads, phallic gun imagery, and even an appearance by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark! Plus, you’ll hear the launching of the first-ever Guy Mann-Dude fan club..and hear it close just as quickly. But where o where in all of this is Alice? That’s the question we’ll attempt to answer as your hosts Bobby Hazzard, the lovely Ms. Hazzard, physician of fright Dr. Gangrene, and Troy Guinn (of the Naschycast) journey deep into the eye of the hurricane to find if Alice has really become a

They're back! This time the Coopercast crew talk about Alice's records that he put out for MCA after a three year hiatus from the music industry. Everyone also picks their favorite non album tracks from the Warner Brothers years. They also talk about the Spend The Night With Alice Cooper show at TPAC as well as the impending original Cooper band reunion.

Join Bobby, Troy, Dr. Gangrene, and Ms. Hazzard as they delve into the Alice Cooper discography from 1980 to 1983. These were some dark and unusual times for Alice personally and musically. The records that came out in this period flirt with punk, new wave, hard rock, and synth pop. Lyrically, Alice's subject matter varies from cross dressing cops to rebellious clones to dyslexic love. Come take a wild ride with Coopercast as we explore what Alice refers to as his Blackout Albums.

Join Bobby Hazzard, Ms. Hazzard, Dr. Gangrene, and Troy as they delve into the extreme highs and lows of Alice Cooper solo records in the late 70's. What name do the kids yell at the end of Department Of Youth? Is Lace & Whiskey actually a concept record? Why does Ms. Hazzard want to be called a "stumbling demented child queen?" Is it a good idea to have your alcoholic dad near black widows? All these questions and more are answered in this episode.
