EPISODE 300! - Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head

WOAH. It's episode THREE HUNDRED! I'm about 1/3 of the way through the TMBG catalog! Friend of the pod since nearly day one and many-time guest Avren Keating returns to the show for this momentous occasion as we talk about TMBG's first single, "Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head". We reminisce about podcasts past, hear about my recent live tmbg experience, dig into Dig a bit, and delve into the band's early days talking about this Flans-led banger. We hear some crazy live versions from throughout the years, get some killer covers, and hear an extra-special gift from the Covers Crüe.

Episode 299 - Eyeball

Joel Shaughnessy returns to the show to talk about a very fresh TMBG track, "Eyeball", off of this January's EP of the same name. We briefly discuss the whole EP and speculate on the upcoming album, and then break down this wheelhouse Linnell track. We also get covers from the reliable Covers Crüe, including one from Joel himself!

Episode 298 - We've Got a World That Swings

Will Hoffknecht joins us for the first time to talk about "We've Got a World That Swings", a cover TMBG included on the S-E-X-X-Y EP. We discuss the original and famous crooners, try to make sense of the song's small but important lyrical variations, and revisit a kickass cover. 

Episode 297 - Skullivan

Zach Heagy makes his debut on the show to discuss the The Spine Surfs Alone EP track, "Skullivan". We ponder about who the Skullivan really is, chat about Linnell going wild in the studio, and hear a cover from  Zach and his girlfriend.

Episode 296 - Our Cannibal Friends

Chris Tull returns to the show to talk about the deepest of deep cuts, "Our Cannibal Friends", a song which got played live three times in 2007 but never recorded. We talk about musical robots, cannibal art, and I join Chris' band My Altamont for a cover.

After a nice break from the show for us to get married and honeymoon, Darcy makes her debut on the show to discuss the amazing wedding gift given to us by members of the Covers Crüe, a custom TMBG covers album called This Might Be a Wedding! We talk about each amazing, thoughtful track and play them in full. We also chat about seeing TMBG in Nashville last month.
