EarWax: An Amoeba Podcast
Hosts Hilary and Cody chat about new releases and in-store events, so you are always up to date on the goings on of the world's largest independent record store.
Each week, we tell the story of one particular album. How was it made? Where does it exist in our history? What effect did it have then, and how does it affect us today?
EarWax is two longtime record store clerks doing what we do best - learning about and sharing the stories behind the albums we love.

Ep. 52: Melvins - Houdini
Bolt down anything that might shift due to the crushing weight of the heaviness, EarWax is going sludge!
Hilary and Cody discuss Melvins' legacy through the lens of arguably their most famous record. The story behind Houdini is a little sad, but ultimately this record serves as a fantastic gateway into a band that casts an extremely large shadow.
A great mix of heavy and slow with a few speedier tracks for balance, Houdini has just a hint of Kurt Cobain's presence throughout.
Turn up your speakers all the way and prepare yourself for the glory that is Melvins, and for the ass-kickery on Houdini.
