This Might Be A Podcast

Episode 257 - Mr. Me

Kamuela Kaneshiro makes his debut on the podcast to talk about the Lincoln favorite "Mr. Me." We talk about ghosts and pirates, while checking out the kitchen-sink-percussion demo and brass-filled versions of this classic tune. 

Episode 256 - McCafferty's Bib

Alex Sanchez makes his debut on the show to talk about one of I Like Fun's most experimental tracks, "McCafferty's Bib." We talk about microtones, ring modulators, and hear one of the most insane remixes ever.

Episode 255 - Tiny Doctors

Tyler Colton of Goodbye Viking joins me to talk about a fan-favorite deep cut, "Tiny Doctors," which never even made it to the Dial-a-Song machine, finally being released on TMBG Unlimited. We ponder about how deep to read into the lyrics and whether this song should have been fleshed out and put on an album, and then we hear a crazy amount of covers for how obscure this song is.  

Episode 254 - The Poisonousness

Gabby Crouch is our guest this week to talk about the Robin Goldwasser-lead track "The Poisonousness," the closing song for The Escape Team. We talk about the lovely Hand Witch, ask "where are the guitars?" and discuss the importance of "woo woos."

Episode 253 - Hearing Aid

Robert Writhe of The Writhers is here to talk about an often-overlooked Flood track, "Hearing Aid." We discuss the sample-heavy arrangement of the track, guest guitarist Arto Lindsay, and the controversial 2022/2023 tour version.

Episode 252 - Space Suit

Seth Hershman makes their TMBP debut to talk about the closer of Apollo 18, "Space Suit." We talk about how its origins are tied to the origin of the band, hear the song's original form under a different title, and hear live versions through the years, some more successful than others.

Episode 251 - Bread Hair

Continuing our streak of bizarre early songs, Lauren Davis returns to the show and brings along a friend, newcomer Matt Molaro. We talk about old synths, John C. Reilly, and try to figure out what the hell is up with this song. 

Episode 250 - Mr. Klaw

On our 250th episode (!!!), music professor and co-author of the Flood 33 1/3 book, Alexander Reed, returns to the show to talk about another wild early song of the band. We talk about Linnell's guitar playing, Mr. Ed, and the importance of downbeat placement, as well as hearing it live and a surprising amount of covers.  

Episode 249 - Sally Boy Candy Bar

Cartoonist Kyle Carrozza is here to talk about one of the earliest, wildest TMBG songs, "Sally Boy Candy Bar," a Dial-a-Song track not officially released until the TMBGUnlimited series. We get an inside look at the world of cartooning from Kyle before we delve into possible meanings or lack of meanings with these lyrics, how the sonics of the track were created, and hear the only cover in existence. 

Episode 248 - 200 Sbemails & Crystal Fortress

My Exquisite Dead Guys bandmate Jerome Hemersbach is here to talk about TMBG's collaborations with Homestar Runner, "200 Sbemails" and "Crystal Fortress." There is much Homestar fan service and voice impressions, and we commissioned the only Sbemails cover into existence.
