Joel Shaughnessy is here to talk about the TMBG & McSweeny's collaboration compilation track "R U Together." Chances are a lot of you are unfamiliar with this track and perhaps the project as a whole, but Joel will get you caught up, telling us about the album and the book that accompanies it. Is this song any good? Listen to find out, and hear two awesome covers, one by Homework Party aka Joel himself!

My BFF Steve Clark returns to the show after long last, to talk about the divisive TMBG Factory Showroom single, "S-E-X-X-Y." Let's discuss why this song doesn't deserve the hate it gets as we hear many remixes, live versions of different arrangements,  and fun covers.

Sunday May 19, 2024

Matt Meyer makes his debut on the show to talk about the Apollo 18 classic "Hall of Heads." We talk at length about the interesting introduction and the oddly placed key change, and ponder why they've barely played this great song live.

Friday May 10, 2024

Friday May 10, 2024

Our good friend Noah Daniel returns at long last to talk about the More Murdered Remains song "Tractor." We attempt to figure out the metaphors of this odd, catchy song, and hear great covers from a bunch of friends, and Noah himself.

Friday May 03, 2024

Moth Moroz returns to show after a long absence to talk about the <i>Phone Power</i> favorite "I Love You for Psychological Reasons." We ponder about the narrator of the song, examine the amazing rhyme schemes, and hear the Johns critique their own live performances.

Friday Apr 26, 2024

Friday Apr 26, 2024

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. 

Friday Apr 19, 2024

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

Friday Apr 12, 2024

Friday Apr 12, 2024

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.  

Friday Apr 05, 2024

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

Friday Mar 29, 2024

Friday Mar 29, 2024

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.
