31 - Peace Sold.

31 - Peace Sold.

It's the season finale and grand wrap-up of our most extensive series to date. We hit up the title track, we hit up the album conclusions, we get some listener input and all in all tie a nice wrap around our main business since back in November last year. It's still "we, the podcast" rrrright?!

30 - Chris Poland

This is our Chris Poland extravaganza, the first part in our member biography series.

28 - Theatre Mustaine

HERE WE COME, AGAIIN!

What's up with all the monologue, all the comedy and all the relationship drama and various other forms of , well, acting incorperated into the music of Megadeth?

The Three Magics take a look into the world of Megadeth amateur theatre.

This is the final one to come out of the March 23 Punt Road session, so lets extended a loud skål to our new found pal down under!

24 - Three Magics-The Punting Road

24 - Three Magics-The Punting Road

Two magics become three.
It's time to introduce our guest host for March 2023.
During Quinns hostile takeover he managed to print an all access SFSP hall pass card and carelessly had it sent down under. Our initial fear and worry was however uncalled for, as it landed in the safe and capable hands of Mr Punt Road. We decided to join forces on a couple of the Peace Sells tracks.
But, first we get acquainted by circling topics such as the 2004 remixes, AC/DC, thinking man's metal and Herman's Hermits.
Join the fun!

Is bad omen literally channeling a bad omen considering the incoming cover feature of the album?
Does "I Ain't Supersticous" ruin the show?
And, if so, can My "Last Words" then save it?
Stick around & find out!

17 - 1986

17 - 1986

The year: 1986
The place: Planet Earth
The jeans: Really fucking tight
The sneakers: Really fucking big
The riffs: Really fucking fast

Come with us,
as we flip up our brims, patch our vests,
dive like swimmeers and run like Nascars.
To a time when the metal underground poked its head up
and opened a sinkhole for society to fall in.

This.
Is.
Thrash.

After slicing thru the latest album with out razor sharp blades of sanguinary analysis,
it does make all kinds of sense to re-visit the 1990s and figure out, once and for all:

In this series we steal a trick from podcasting friends of ours (And the Podcast Will Rock / Pod of Thunder) and spin a Wheel of (miss?)fortune to determine which Risk song to tackle.

Behold the TERROR that is RYSK ROULETTE!

07 - Meatballs to the Wall [Captain Beyond, Accept, Scorpions, Mercyful Fate, The Crown]

This is the first installment in our TWO MEATBALLS series. The concept is diving into our recent rotation, music we've been listening to lately. This is, for the most part, off-topic but of course we connect the conversation to Megadeth a time or two.

06 - When Friedman Bailed/Kill the King-Dread & The Fugitive Mind

What's next after 1985 and 2022? It ain't Washington, but: 2000, the Y2K. Who is King Tut of tutting his own horn? How come Marty's gets a a fugitive mind set and did that really send Dave & Co over to Little Italy? Besides answering all these complex riddles we also provide our analysis of a proper mid-era Megadeth song tandem. twitter.com/sofarsopod facebook.com/sofarsopodsowhat sofarsopodsowhat@gmail.com

03 - We'll be Back Pt.1

Just when you think it's safe...
SNEAK ATTACK!

HEY GUYS: at 33 minutes there is a bit of silence, should be a clip of the beginning of DMs guitar solo. Don't know what went wrong, but I know it's my fault and further, I acknowledge my lack of will in solving the issue. It's like 30 sec. Figure that out yourselves, I am SURE you can.

We advance in from the opposite front and go as recent as one can, in the current Deth discography.

Full track analysis plus a healthy serving of derailed thinking - our boxcar lifestyle.


When you least expect your fate, I'll load it up (We'll be back)


Or, actually you may go ahead and expect our return, strengthened in numbers.
