Ep. 205: Black Friday - Blackout with Chris Czynszak

Episode Summary

In observance of the retail event of the year that is Black Friday, InObscuria took it upon ourselves to have way too much Wild Turkey the day before and thus completely blackout… We’ve invited our friend and co-host of the Decibel Geek Podcast: Mr. Chris Czynszak on to help us put the pieces together in an in-depth discussion of the blackout era of Alice Cooper’s career. If you are not aware of Alice’s obscure, creepy, and quirky output from the early 80s; you are in for a treat! Grab some cheese and wine and join us for a little cracktastic Cooper!

What is this InObscuria? Every week Robert and Kevin exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week’s episode features the Lost era of a very mainstream artist. There aren’t many artists like this that have a period of their career where they are still releasing content but have gone “dark” to most of the record-buying public. Hope we turn you on to something new from a guy you thought you already knew!

  1. Alice Cooper – “Pain”from Flush The Fashion(1980)
  2. Alice Cooper – “Headlines” from Flush The Fashion (1980)
