Episode 14 (NME Magazine, September 13, 2003)

On this week’s Periodical Prattle, Ben and Gio go back to September 13, 2003 to get into a truly bonkers Muse cover story. You will not believe how it starts! The Two Dweebs also cover The Darkness’ Permission to Land (which Ben makes the bold claim by calling it one of the best debut albums ever), and the downfall of Fred Durst. Ben also discusses the remarkable event that was the Earth, Wind & Fire vs The Isley Brothers VERZUZ event, and how new artists and producers should take notes. For the movies segment, they cover the 1982 cult movie Ladies and Gentlemen… The Fabulous Stains, starring Diane Lane, Laura Dern, Beowulf’s Ray Winstone, plus members of The Clash and Sex Pistols.
