  • Motörhead: Speed, Sex, and Revenge

    Motörhead: Speed, Sex, and Revenge
    Aug 19 2025
    Motörhead influenced some of the most important acts in heavy metal and punk rock history. Led by the inimitable Lemmy Kilmister, they invented a sound and a style that didn’t exist before the original trio went into the recording studio for the first time. The story of Motörhead is also a story about speed, revenge, good and evil, a brutal murder, and some of the greatest – and meanest – rock ‘n roll ever committed to tape. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including graphic depictions of violence. This episode was originally published on July 25, 2024.

    David Bowie: The occult, cocaine, orgies, arrests, exorcisms, a weird flirtation with fascism and a dead body.
    Aug 15 2025
    No musical artist better personified the hedonism of the ’70s than David Bowie. He captivated the imaginations of music fans all over the world with a dizzying array of creative alter egos; Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke among them, and his obsession with occultist Aleister Crowley drove him down a dark, excessive hole filled with cocaine, orgies, arrests, fascism, death and madness that very nearly destroyed him.

  • Bonus Episode: Suspicious Deaths, Small-Town Myths, and the Record Store That Helped Make Me

    Bonus Episode: Suspicious Deaths, Small-Town Myths, and the Record Store That Helped Make Me
    Aug 14 2025
    This week in the After Party, we’re digging up the stories they didn’t want told. Jake throws back to a formative encounter with a record store burnout who unknowingly set him on the path to Disgraceland. Jake talks AC/DC, Bon Scott, and the rock and roll myths that shaped him (and you)—and tees up a deeper dive in the bonus section into some of the most suspicious musician deaths of all time. From Elliott Smith’s stab wounds to Al Jackson Jr.’s unsolved murder, these are stories too sketchy, too unresolved, and too raw for the wide feed. If you’ve ever felt like the real stories got buried—or that culture doesn’t reflect what you care about anymore—this episode is for you. Because we don’t need CASSM to tell our stories. We’re telling them ourselves. Right here in Disgraceland. Unlock the exclusive bonus, ad-free episodes, and a deeper look at the music myths they tried to silence—at disgracelandpod.com/membership. On Tuesday, we're bringing you an episode on Motorhead, who made a big impression on Jake when he saw them in concert as a youngster.

    The Temptations Pt 2: The Tammi Terrell Tragedy
    Aug 12 2025
    When Motown singer Tammi Terrell died at the age of 24, Marvin Gaye was the only one from her label allowed at her funeral. The rest – especially her former boyfriend, the Tempations’ David Ruffin – were banned. So what happened between them? The answer lies in a story of fame, furs, cocaine, and a scandal that still casts a shadow over soul music.

Sadly, there is a long list of mistreated women throughout music history - was Tammi Terrell the most mistreated of them all? What do you think?

  • The Temptations: Fame, Drugs, and Paranoia

    The Temptations: Fame, Drugs, and Paranoia
    Aug 11 2025
    The Temptations were one of Motown’s signature vocal groups, and they remain one of the most successful R&B acts of all time. But fame and drugs corrupted them from the beginning. Lineup changes were as frequent as their chart-topping hits. Eventually their rocky road led to drug addiction, crippling paranoia, routine backstabbing, and one of the most tragic deaths in the history of the Motor City. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including discussions about suicide.

  • Britney Spears (Pt. 2): Lithium, Las Vegas, and a Long-Awaited Emancipation

    Britney Spears (Pt. 2): Lithium, Las Vegas, and a Long-Awaited Emancipation
    Aug 9 2025
    Britney Spears’ 13-year conservatorship was an arrangement so strict and unfeeling that it left her without any control of her career, loopy on lithium, and completely silenced for the sake of seeing her sons and boyfriend. As Britney suffered in silence, she worked nearly non-stop, generating more hits — and revenue — so her father could claim his cut of the profits. But after hundreds of shows in Las Vegas and $137 million in box office sales, Britney buckled and told her conservators “no.” Then her social media went radio silent in 2019. This is the story of what came next — and how Britney Spears finally broke free. For the full list of contributors, visit ⁠disgracelandpod.com⁠ This episode was originally published on July 26, 2022.

  • Britney Spears (Pt. 1): Trauma Pop

    Britney Spears (Pt. 1): Trauma Pop
    Aug 8 2025
    No musician owned pop music quite like Britney Spears at the turn of the century. After graduating from Mississippi tween queen to full-fledged American superstar, her fame exploded at a time when tabloids circled celebrities like prey. 30 to 45 predatory paparazzi would follow Britney’s every move during 12 to 14 hour shifts, eager to document the collapse of her marriage and social circle. As her public image crumbled, it’s no wonder Britney ended 2007 with a bald head and a “blackout.” The conservatorship that came next, however, surprised everyone—even Britney herself. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including domestic violence and suicide. If you're thinking about suicide, or are worried about a friend or loved one, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255. This episode was originally published on July 12, 2022.

  • Bonus Episode: The Culture Changed Every Ten Years… Until It Didn’t

    Bonus Episode: The Culture Changed Every Ten Years… Until It Didn’t
    Aug 7 2025
    From the Beatles to Nirvana to Pulp Fiction and Friends, every decade used to bring a cultural reset—new sounds, new voices, new aesthetics that changed the way we dressed, talked, and thought. But for the past 25 years, that cycle stopped. Why? In this week’s After Party, Jake takes us back to a time when artists shaped the culture—and breaks down how corporatization, consolidation, and the algorithm killed the artist as changemaker. Plus: a bonus section packed with receipts on music, movies, books, and the myth work we’re all doing together to take it back. On Tuesday, we're bringing you a story about the Temptations and the untimely death of the great Tammi Terrell. Jake wants to know: Which musician's death is the most suspicious?
