Episode 207 - Here in Higglytown

Fresh-faced fan Belle Steiert joins me to talk about a song she heard a lot as a kid, "Here in Higglytown," the theme TMBG wrote for the Disney show Higglytown Heroes, and collected on Here Come the ABCs. We chat about this silly show, nesting-doll Johns, and even get a custom cover for the song!

Episode 206 - Prevenge

Contributor to both McSweeny's and the Onion (amongst other things) Maura Quint is on the show to talk about "Prevenge" from The Spine. We lust for that sweet prevenge and wonder what a "headfo" is, while checking out the live debut and getting a custom cover, the only "Prevenge" cover in the world.

Episode 205 - My Evil Twin

Dan Leary makes his third appearance on the show to talk about the Apollo 18 classic, "My Evil Twin." We try our damndest to get to the bottom of this song, and along the way hear live versions from decades apart, some drastically different covers, and a Dan-engineered mashup. 

Episode 204 - Never Knew Love

Tom Miller makes his debut on the show to talk about the Join Us track "Never Knew Love." We attempt to figure out if this is a happy or sad song, find a live version with a twist and play a couple of unique covers. 

Episode 203 - The House at the Top of the Tree

Fresh off her first TMBG live experience, Jaya Crites is here to talk about a song they did not play and have never played live, "The House at the Top of the Tree" off of No!  She tells us about her concert experience and her rad dad getting her into TMBG as a kid, and then we talk about this fun, winding tune which has inspired quite a few covers for being a relatively deep cut.  

Episode 202 - Asbury Park

Jacob Freer-Balko is here to talk about the Stone Pony, immortalized on the Venue Songs track "Asbury Park." He tells us all about the venue, and we give many props to Marty and Danny as we discuss this swingin' tune. 

Episode 201 - Whirlpool

Thomas Tutt makes his debut on the show to talk about TMBG's cover of the Meat Puppets "Whirlpool" from the Why Does the Sun Shine? EP. We talk bari sax models, the Mountain Goats, and about embracing your true nerd self. 

Episode 200 - Daylight

On episode 200 (!!!) Cristina Fernandez makes her first appearance on the show to talk about "Daylight" off of Phone Power. We discuss Don Quixote, hear a duo performance of the song, and get a percussion question answered by Flans.

Episode 199 - Atlanta (Variety Playhouse) w/Jonathan Strickland!

Jonathan Strickland of the iHeartRadio podcast Tech Stuff joins me to talk about "Atlanta," a song he was lucky enough to see debuted. He tells us all about that experience and the amazing venue The Variety Playhouse and we also talk Yoko Ono, and one not-so-pleasant TMBG live experience of his. 

Episode 198 - Computer Assisted Design
