Only Three Lads - Classic Alternative Music Podcast

We're getting crazy with the Cheez Whiz! And who knows? Maybe we'll break out the pimento spread too. In this episode of O3L, Uncle Gregg, Brett and Bueno dissect the Top 5 songs of 1994. It was a great year for alternative music, as you may (or may not) remember. Along the way, we discuss the very subtle differences between Randy “Macho Man” Savage and the Kool Aid Guy, plus you get to hear Bueno on a radio contest and throw down a challenge for any NBA player willing to take him on. So come on in...the Cheez Whiz is warm! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Have you ever become obsessed with a band's first album and feverishly awaited the follow-up...only to be wildly disappointed? Yeah, we've all been there! For example, did you know that Menswear even released a second album? Mind blown! Oh wait, you didn't even remember that Menswear released a first album? Hmmmpf. (We don't actually even talk about Menswear during this episode, so don't worry.) What we do discuss are the second albums that cut through the Wall of Doodoo, and beat that dreaded sophomore slump. Join Uncle Gregg, Brett and Bueno for old favorites, new discoveries, and an episode that smells like English Leather. By the by, O3L is going on spring break. Episode 10 will drop in two weeks!

If man is five, if man is five...then the devil is six, the devil is six...then God is SEVEN, then God is SEVEN! Then eight is, uhhhh, nothing. Thanks for leaving us hanging, Pixies. Well, in this case, eight is Episode 8 of Only Three Lads, wherein Bueno, Uncle Gregg and Brett reveal their Top 5 alternative albums of 1988. They also partake in an unusual game of "Would You Rather?" that leaves you wondering just what two classic bands were doing in a pool together in the first place. So, would you rather listen to O3L or some other podcast that isn't O3L? If you chose the former, that's the correct answer. If you chose the latter, then we don't wanna play this game with you anymore. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
