Friday, February 14, 2020 • Duration 46:03

Discography host Marc With a C posits (and tries to answer) the eternal question: what IS Black Sabbath?

The Who: 1973-1976 - Quadrophenia to One of the Boys

Season 3 · Episode 3

Tuesday, January 22, 2019 • Duration 01:25:10

By 1973, The Who were superstars. Their gargantuan rock opera Quadrophenia had given wayward teenagers a mirror with which to find themselves, even though the ensuing tour would be the catalyst for each band member to go a bit off the rails in their own ways.

Join host Marc With a C on a sojourn through 1973 to 1976, when Ken Russell's film adaptation of Tommy took the world by storm, and turned lead vocalist Roger Daltrey into a heartthrob for teenyboppers everywhere. During this short window, three-fourths of the band would somehow also find the time to make solo statements, each with varying degrees of success, while Pete would bleed onto the page with confessional works like The Who By Numbers.

Brace yourselves for Maximum Discography, as this episode touches on the albums Quadrophenia, Odds & Sods, Two Sides of the Moon, Mad Dog, Ride a Rock Horse, The Who By Numbers, One of the Boys, and even a few soundtrack appearances!

The Who: 1970-1973 - Live at Leeds to Rigor Mortis Sets In

Season 3 · Episode 2

Tuesday, January 15, 2019 • Duration 01:32:42

Our first episode saw the band rise from humble beginnings all the way to 1969, when The Who had somehow made themselves world famous for writing a rock opera about a physically challenged boy with a talent for... pinball? Of course, you'd celebrate such a feat with a tour of revered opera houses and then record a live album in a glorified school cafeteria, wouldn't you? I mean, it just makes sense.

Join host Marc With A C as he traces the connection between the The Who emerging on the global stage, while the members themselves used their newfound power to explore their own interests in solo records. If you thought Tommy was a lofty premise, well then you don't know "Lifehouse". We explore the unfinished project which would have predicted the internet in 1971; the rock-redefining music that came out of it, and much more: Live At Leeds, Smash Your Head Against The Wall, Who's Next, Who Came First, Whistle Rhymes, Daltrey, and Rigor Mortis Sets In!

The Who: 1964-1969 - My Generation to Tommy

Season 3 · Episode 1

Tuesday, January 8, 2019 • Duration 01:25:59

Discography is a quarterly podcast chronicling a legendary artist’s catalog album by album - and this season is one for the record books. Host Marc With a C has already taken on the entirety of Frank Zappa's impenetrably expansive catalogue and the surprising intricacies of Janet Jackson, but now he's cracking open the chronicles of one of the most influential bands of all-time: The Who!

Maybe you're a longtime fan... maybe you're curious what all the fuss is about. With Discography, you can walk in a novice, and come out well-informed and with a new favorite record or two. And if you’re a longtime fan, Marc goes deep enough that you’ll be brimming with new factoids and perspectives. But this season is something really special. We're not only covering the studio records made by the band proper, we're also dropping the needle on every live record, single, and solo release from Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, John Entwistle, and Roger Daltry. Yes - this is no ordinary Who documentary. This is a quest to examine the big picture and discover WHO this legendary band really are.

In the first episode, we share the story of how a management team signed a band to make a motion picture and that ragtag outfit became one of the greatest international sensations of all time. We're journeying from 1964-1969 and covering My Generation, A Quick One, The Who Sell Out, Tommy and all points in-between.

This is going to be an action packed season, and Marc isn't pulling any punches. This is his favorite band, after all!

Janet Jackson: The B-Sides & Beyond

Season 2 · Episode 5

Tuesday, August 14, 2018 • Duration 56:54

For the past four episodes, Discography has counted down Janet Jackson's studio records - her self-titled 1982 debut to 2015's Unbreakable. But as host Marc With a C assembled this season, he was completely caught off-guard by just how much completely essential non-album music Ms. Jackson had produced over the years. In this epilogue episode, we discuss some of the best and brightest of her b-sides and give tips on how to find them - for the discriminating record junkie than needs physical media.

Janet Jackson's State of the World Tour has just wrapped, and there's rumblings behind the scenes of big things to come. This might be the end of this Discography season, but let's just say it might not be the end of her discography. In this episode, Marc ties up some loose canonical ends to this particular musical narrative and waxes poetic about the rumblings of Miss Jackson's future - not just in the new music end of things, but also long-overdue accolades. Special guest Mike Litherland leads the charge and shares his journey heading a grassroots movement to have Janet Jackson inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

Janet Jackson is absolutely Made For Now, and in this episode her quintessence shines over all.

Janet Jackson: 20 Y.O. to Unbreakable

Season 2 · Episode 4

Tuesday, August 7, 2018 • Duration 01:20:00

Janet Jackson - while still rightfully considered to be one of the biggest stars that the Western world has ever known - was practically silenced in the world of popular music by a 2004 "media blacklist". After that, it would appear that only a fraction of the music-buying public was even aware that she continued to make music after the event that came to be known as "Nipplegate".

In this penultimate episode of our Janet Jackson season of Discography, host Marc With a C, aided and abetted by certified Jacksons freak/funkmeister/DJ Chris LeBrane was determined to see how these lesser known albums - 20 Y.O., Discipline, and Unbreakable - would stack up against the rest of her illustrious recording career. You might be surprised at their reactions - as well as who might've been not-so-secretly steering the Janet Jackson ship in the late 2000's!

This episode's discography:

0:00: Intro to Discography / 6:37: 20 Y.O. / 36:55: Discipline / 56:43: Links that matter / 59:21 Unbreakable / 01:18:45 Outro

Janet Jackson: All For You to Damita Jo

Season 2 · Episode 3

Tuesday, July 31, 2018 • Duration 59:37

In 2001, Janet Jackson was on top of the pop music world. Her blockbuster album All For You had just made her the first artist in the history of music to produce five consecutive number one albums in a row, her singles were making millions of people happy, and a mere live television performance on HBO brought in 12 million viewers alone.

And then? A "wardrobe malfunction" saw Janet blacklisted from nearly every avenue that had once championed her.

In this episode of Discography, Marc With a C continues his trek though all of Janet's canonical albums taking on All For You and the slept-on Damita Jo, while making an unfortunate, but necessary, detour away from the music and into tabloid territory. "Nipplegate", as the Superbowl incident has come to be known, casts a long shadow that very much impacts everything that came afterward. Fortunately funkmeister and Jacksons expert Chris LeBrane is along for the ride to add some sugar to this sour note in Janet's legacy.

What did her albums sound like after the world stopped paying attention to Janet's every move? That's journey begins now, and it's gonna get weird.

Discography:

0:00: Intro to Discography/Janet Jackson / 6:05: All For You / 26:46: "Nipplegate" / 35:30: Links that matter / 37:17: Damita Jo / 58:24 Outro

Janet Jackson: Rhythm Nation to The Velvet Rope

Season 2 · Episode 2

Tuesday, July 24, 2018 • Duration 01:21:39

Discography picks up Janet's story in the thick of her complete domination of pop culture with her seminal and influential albums: 1989's Rhythm Nation 1814, '93's janet., and '97's The Velvet Rope. Some of these albums defined genres, while others would redefine that same genre completely just a few years later.

Janet Jackson's biggest and best-known glory days are the focus of this episode, as Discography takes a deep dive into why these albums matter so much and continue to stand the test of time. No matter how much you think you know about Janet, Marc With a C aims to multiply that number exponentially. Get the point?

Good. Let's dance!

This episode's discography:

0:00: Intro to Discography/Janet Jackson / 5:00 Rhythm Nation 1814 / 26:20 janet. / 50:00 Links that matter / 55:50 The Velvet Rope / 01:20.28 Outro
