35: The Beast of Music (An Oral History)

The Monumental Podcast

Warning: This is a non wrestling episode! In fact this episode may appeal to no one on the planet! Join us as Hulkamatt, Nut Bunnies, musical visionary CJM Venter and myself go through the history of the Beast of Music, a series of mix tapes of bad music we made in the late aughts. After Venter tells us about his 2003 summer vacation for 10 minutes we discuss musical legends such as: Jan Terri, Complete, Raffi, The Donut Man, The Shaggs and actual legends like Wesley Willis and Sun Ra.
We sing songs, discuss his classic covers in depth and talk about outsider music (and some just plain bad music for 2 hours.)
