Derrick Bostrom's History of The Meat Puppets: Too High and Beyond
Episode 9
Tuesday, 29 September, 2026
After an entire season spent searching for the stories hidden in the grooves, we finish by hearing from someone who put them there. Last time, Derrick Bostrom helped us straighten out the Meat Puppets' first decade into their stint on London Records. Now, things get weird.In the final episode of Discography's season exploring The Meat Puppets, founding drummer, Derrick Bostrom, shares with Marc With a C end of the SST years into the band's major-label era: the unlikely explosion of Too High to Die, the end of the original trio, the years when Curt Kirkwood carried the Meat Puppets name forward without Derrick or Cris Kirkwood, and the even more unlikely road that eventually brought all three of them back together - And Derrick brought tapes.Hear Too High to Die-era recordings that have never circulated among fans, including the elusive title-song itself, plus not one, not two, but five different versions of the long-rumored track "Don't Touch My Stuff". Derrick shares the saga around the album that unexpectedly put the Meat Puppets in front of a massive audience—and what the familiar version of that story leaves out.This is anything but an exercise in settling scores. Derrick discusses the years when Curt kept the Meat Puppets alive without him and Cris, and why keeping that name and music moving ultimately mattered. Then we arrive at 2017, when Curt, Cris and Derrick reunited onstage for their induction into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame for their first performance together in more than twenty years, and how that reunion ultimately opened the door to another chapter of the band. Misconceptions, alternate histories, and lost songs are demolished in real time. At the end of this long road, we're not going to pretend we've completely figured out the Meat Puppets, because Derrick Bostrom made the whole story even weirder than we previously knew!
