NoMeansNo Thing

Nothing prepares me for episodes like this one.  First off, it's back to the old looooooong episode for you!  Hope you like that sort of thing.   But this time it was just impossible choice after impossible choice.  Genuine sadness in the face of a totally made up exercise that means nothing, to no one.  Weird creatures, we humans and our attachments!  Anyway, cheers!  Grab a beverage and listen up!

Blah blah killer songs blah blah one winner.  You get the drill by now.  The crappy part is our Podcast recording platform ONCE AGAIN has screwed the pooch and cut out a piece of the recording.  Our producer has done their best to salvage the few minutes affected, but it still blows.  So sorry about that.   The songs this time, in fact, are killer.  But you knew that.  

Well, fuck.  The gypsies curse has struck and given us a bit of an audio blow in the middle of this episode.  Only a few minutes lost, but still stings. :)  That said, we got one out to you in two weeks!  It's a minor miracle!  Four more songs battle for supremacy, ONE SONG WILL REMAIN!!!!  MATTHEW INDULDGES IN FROG PORN THAT YOU SHOULD BE GLAD YOU CAN'T SEE WITH YOUR EARS!!!  END TIMES STUFF FOLKS!  Enjoy.

FINAL ROUND GO!!!!!  We are back with the show proper, and ready to wade through the remaining champions to find the VERY BEST NMN SONG OF ALL TIME (there isn't one, they all rule).  We are glad to be back, glad to be in your ears, and have a plan to be at least *more* regular.  Thanks for you patience, and enjoy!!!  Also, make sure to send an audio file explaining what YOU think the best NMN song of all time should be to nomeansnothingpodcast@gmail.com.  Just freakin' do it.

We're Freaking Back!!  For now.  We return NOT with the official start of the final round of our podcast, but with an episode where we talk about all of the other bests:  Best opening track, best closing track, best one-two punch, best sound effect of man pissing in bucket...you know, important stuff!  Also there is drunkness and technical difficulties.  You'll love it.  WE'VE MISSED YOU!!!!!

Here is our Round 2 Wrap Up!  We go through each episode, review our choices, lament our errors, and rescue three songs from the dustbin of history.  Our walk through the hall of shame was illuminating, remembering our votes, the good times, the bad times, the drunk times.  Join us, yell at us, celebrate us, throw your phones across the room in frustration.  Whatever, you can't hurt us.  See you in Round 3 fukcers!

Well, here we are.  The very end of the second round of our dumb choices.  Six songs are packed into this episode, and three limp forward into the final battle.  Eat it in bites, as we packed in 2.5 hours for ya.  Slowly Melting vs. Rag's and Bones (!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOO!), Revenge vs. Something Dark Against Something Light, and Ashes vs. Stop It.  I don't know, I quit.  I can't make these choices anymore.  Luckily they don't matter.  We're cookin' up round 3, the final round, and will have some special episodes in the interim. No idea of the timing, but thanks for being with us as we do this meaningless exercise.  Y'all are amazing!

Don't blame us, them's the rules.  You don't get to abstain.  It's just the rules.  Dang.  Almost through all of the songs in round 2.  What will go through?  Will your babies be spared, or do we, like Solomon, cut that mewling sucker right down the spine?  Dunno, listen and find out.  It's The Day Everything Became Nothing vs. Self Pity and Oh, Canaduh vs. The Jungle.  Get it.

Hey nerds.  Happy Thanksgiving/Genocide Day for those who observe!  Look, this isn't a real episode. So don't feel obliged to listen.  Sorry if you got excited...or worried.  This is an episode where one of the hosts, Jordon, does the thing he said he wouldn't do...say how you can throw small bills at the podcast. Not for him, but for art.  Anyway, it's short.  Listen.  If you feel moved to help support the art mentioned there-in, you can do so here: https://theimaginists.org/support-the-imaginists

KAIJU ALERT!!!!  The rumbling of giant feet echo across the horizon, their roars screaming as they fill the void!!!  It's Long Days vs. End of All Things and Life Like vs. The River!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.  Everyone drinks this time, and fun is had by all (most).  There are only a few episodes left in this inglorious Round 2, what will survive and move ahead, and which gets buried in the ancient burial ground destined to haunt a future suburban family?  Tune and and find out.

I think this is a hell of an episode, we hope you enjoy it!  Only one of us gets drunk, I'll let you figure out who.  This week it's Junk vs. Humans and The Rape vs. Stocktaking.  Goddamn these are some great songs.  Get your ass in gear and get ready to judge us as we make the uninformed choices we have doomed ourselves to make.

Man...sometimes we record an episode, and after it's done I want to go back and just hit delete.  But I don't.  You have to suffer through this if I do.  It's a good episode, I just question my judgement and blathering more than usual.  But, also, every podcast needs a villain and I'm doing my part to live up to the role.  This week it's Bitches Brew vs. I Think You Know and The Phone Call vs. Dad!  Dive in, nerds, and suffer.

World's nicest Human Andy Kerr joins the three Nomeansnerd's to talk about flatware, and hundreds of other interesting topics!  Special Note:  We recorded this episode on video, so seeks us out on Youtube if you'd like to see this one with some faces.  The last part of this episode features Andy pulling some surprise items out of a NMN grab bag, and while it works just fine on audio only, it's probably enhanced by seeing the visuals.  Anyway, we're so grateful to Andy for sitting down with us, and all of the support he's given our dumb effort these past three years.  Enjoy!   

Back again!  With our dumb hot takes!  Take our takes!  TAKE THEM!  This week it's No Sex vs. One and the Same vs. When Putting It All In Order vs. I've Got A Gun.  More great songs and questionable commentary, and a hell of a lot of fun and nerding out.  Enjoy!  And remember, everyone's got a hole.

An important message from host Jordon Flato.

This week we're joined by a very very special guest:  Jordon's son Parker!  Parker is a literal lifelong NMN fan, and out-nerds all of us in the best way possible.  This week we pit Heaven is the Dust Beneath My Shoes vs. Rise and Madness and Death vs. Ghosts.  As always, the choices are hard, the votes are wrong, and the hosts are tipsy.  Sorry, as always, that this one is so delayed.  But hey, it's 2.5 hours.  That should tide you over for a bit.

Back again, with four great songs we stupidly compare and contrast.  Also, Jordon briefly becomes Alex Jones before realizing his error.  Victory vs. Land of the Living and Who Fucked Who vs. Old.  Songs spanning the history of the band...which do we blithely toss to the side and which join Milkis on the dais?  Tune in and get pissed!

Back again, with some luciferian delights to thrill and enrage you.  This week it's Red Devil vs. Joy and This Story Must Be Told vs. The World Wasn't Built In A Day.  This was a delightful raft of songs to listen to a thousand times in a row, I can tell you.  How will this one shake out?  Do we make a pact with ol' Satan?  Are we telling stories or arguing that the world WAS in fact built in a day (or maybe 7)?  Tune in and drop out, nomeansnerds.

Ever just feel like throwing the ol' paper bag on your head, mining your deep sadness and goin' out to yell at all the dumb f**ks out there walkin' around like they was blind?  Us too.  Instead we listen to some amazing songs which generate just enough catharsis to get us through one more day.   It's Valley of the Blind vs. Almost Like Home and Everyday I Start to Ooze vs. And That's Sad.  Time to piss off some of you again!  Only doin' our job folks, only doin our job.  

Before we get into it, there are some serious audio issues here.  So sorry.  Didn't want to bin the whole thing, especially with it being late and all.  The worst is the first five minutes.  After that gets better with a little subtle echoing.  Man.  Sorry.  Anyway.  SONGS!  DRINKING GAME!  Every time Jordon butchers the title of Cats, Sex and Nazis, take a drink!  You'll be as wasted as he was by the end.  Cats, Sex and Nazis vs. Hello/Goodbye, and My Roommate is Turning into a Monster vs. Lullaby.  A very interesting set of matchups.  I think this ep is a lot of fun actually, we hope you like it too!
