Everybody thought Art Garfunkel was going to be the Shawn Michaels of Art & Garfunkel, but - as we all know now - he was the Marty Jannetty. Paul Simon’s self-titled 1972 solo album didn’t sell well compared to Bridge Over Troubled Water or even as well as Graceland eventually would, but it proved to the world that he was truly the brains behind A&G. Combining his trademark fingerstyle folk with inflections of reggae, blues and Latin rhythms, it won a Record of the Year award from Stereo Review magazine.
Paul Simon’s Paul Simon is also the 425th Greatest Album of All Time according to Rolling Stone magazine, so Christopher and Liam have done a deep dive on it and now they’re going to bash it up hobo-style. Featuring digressions on everything from !!!, radical priests, Julios, schoolyards, losing your virginity in a forest clearing to a religious preacher girl, and chinese food. All that plus the return of Secret Posho, Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week, Is This Emo? and Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo. Enjoy!
