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.
You can download the album for yourselves on Bandcamp!
THANK YOU Covers Crüe!

John Walker returns after many a year to talk about the classic TMBG b-side "When It Rains It Snows." With John being a fellow podcaster (FYIz), we get pretty chatty about music nerd stuff, so join us on this musical adventure as we dissect "When It Rains It Snows" and talk time signatures and lyrics, and next week in part 2 you'll get the remainder of the discussion, live versions, covers and scoring.

Jonathan Leonard returns to the show for a record-setting 6th time to talk about the Phone Power banger "Shape Shifter".
