The Rocklopedia Fakebandica

Sometimes you have to run your experiments in the lab, and sometimes you have to rock!  We look at real scientists from real bands like Queen and The Offspring, we look at real scientists who were in fake bands like Bridgit Mendler, and then a lot of fake scientists with their fictional tunes.  Then, after all the laughs, we get serious.  Yahoo Serious, that is.  It's a full show.

So there's a group of people who share a house.  Okay, not a group of people, but a milkshake and an order or fries and a meat wad.  You heard me. A wad of meat.  It only gets weirder from there on Aqua Teen Hunger Force.  Luckily for us, they make a lot of fictional music so we can talk about them!

We tackle the early days of Adult Swim, that crazy channel for adult animation.  If you like Space Ghost, Harvey Birdman, Brak, Zorak, and SeabLab 2021, or you think the names are funny and you want to hear more, well this show is for you!  Next week, we'll finish Adult Swim with a look at Aqua Teen Hunger Force so stay tuned!

Guest hosts Kelli and Michal join Charles once again to talk about fictional music in recent Korean dramas.  After the longest five minutes ever to discuss Yumi's Cells, they tackle Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Twinkling Watermelon, and Idol I.  

On this episode of The Rocklopedia Fakebandica, we celebrate the birthday of Gary Gygax, the brains behind Dungeons & Dragons, the role playing game that brought RPGs to the mainstream.  We talk about his life, his game, his novels, and the novels of others inspired by his work.   

We celebrate one of our own by wishing happy birthday to T. Mike!  We try to find a band to play his birthday party, and we look for the bands all over pop culture, including The Simpsons, Parks and Rec, Metalocaypse, Z Rock and even greeting cards. 

The Rocklopedia Fakebandica wishes Cameron Crowe a happy 69th birthday by looking into his fake band legacy.  From Singles and the birth of grunge, to Almost Famous and the nostalgia of the rock gods of the 1970s, and even one of the hardest TV shows we've ever attempted to find, we discuss Crowe's fictional music universe, including one of the bigger fake bands out there: Stillwater.

Once again, we take a subject and give you a fictional band for every letter of the alphabet!  This time, we look at alien bands, since it's around the anniversary of the Roswell discoveries.  We look at fake bands from all the different Star Trek shows, Doctor Who, Marvel Comics, Daft Punk, Futurama and Future Folk.  Be sure to listen before you get abducted again!
