Isabel Banks, our youngest guest to date at 16 years old, makes her debut on the podcast to talk about a song she's loved since she was little, "Can You Find It?" from Here Come the ABCs.

Episode 245 - Climbing the Walls

Fellow teacher Suzy VanSchenck joins me to talk about "Climbing the Walls", one of the biggest bangers from The Else. We talk shop as teachers, one of her kids joins in for a bit, and we hear a wide swath of covers.

My first South American guest, Alejo Gacioppo from Argentina, is here to talk about the My Murdered Remains track "Applause Applause Applause." We talk about some Argentinian film and music, get into American politics as applied to the song, and talk cymbal technique.

Phil Dickey and Grace Bentley of the band Dragon Inn 3 (Phil was also in the band Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin) are here to talk about this parody song found on Here Comes Science.

Episode 242 - Your Mom’s Alright

The members of Cartoon Violence are here to talk about this Mike Doughty / Elegant Too collab with TMBG, a Mink Car b-side. We ponder the origins of the song's writing, try to decipher the lyrics, and hear a couple very unique covers.

Ky Gilmore, at the time of their first episode was the podcast's youngest guest. Now, Ky is all grown up and in college and here to talk about what is perhaps Lincoln's strangest track, "You'll Miss Me." We listen to several demo and live versions that get weird in all kinds of ways, and we enjoy some covers "live" on air capturing our first reactions.

Gracie Davies is here to talk about the classic b-side "I'll Sink Manhattan". What's with the narrator of this song? Let's try and figure it out, hear some live versions throughout the years and find some cool covers.
