Asylum: The KISS Podcast

Not technically the opening week of the month (okay, not at all…) we decided to do an “opener” topic.

The Kousins continue the celebration of Paul Stanley’s birthday from last week and do a “listening party” of the 2006 release Live to Win. All the Kousins could pretty much agree they didn’t really want to listen to the album, but some turned out to more than just like it. You’ll have to guess which … Live to Win

The Kousins wish the Starchild, Paul Stanley a happy 71st birthday on January 20. They each compiled 5-10 songs that they’d rank among their favorites of Paul’s lead vocal moments.

The Kousins have done album showdowns before. But, in some instances, that just doesn’t seem fair to some of the songs on the two albums. This week, Kousin Marvin put his #1 (on his ranking list), Hotter Than Hell, against Roadie Ray’s #1, Love Gun. What makes this cool is that these two albums are … KISS Album Gladiator Showdown – Hotter Than Hell vs. Love Gun
