Episode 239 - You’ll Miss Me

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.

Episode 238 - I’ll Sink Manhattan

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. 

Episode 237 - Hovering Sombrero

Lou Reid returns to the show after long last to talk about the Mink Car tune "Hovering Sombrero." We examine the confusing jumble of demo versions, a wacky ABC's one, some live takes and various awesome covers including one from TMBP favorites We Are Number Three.

Episode 236 - Madam, I Challenge You to a Duel w/ Laser Webber!

Laser Webber, solo artist formerly of The Doubleclicks, joins me to talk about "Madam, I Challenge You to a Duel" from Glean. We go back in time to watch some Johnny Carson and learn about the inspiration for this song... you'll see. We also hear Flans botch the story hilariously in its live debut, and find a bunch of kickin' covers.

Episode 234 - Counterfeit Fake / Counterfeit Faker

Brian Haigh joins me to talk about two "fake" songs, the early dial-a-song classic "Counterfeit Fake" and Long Tall Weekend's "Counterfeit Faker." We get deep in the trenches with these tunes, talking about their weird connections and song history, and we got an amazing amount of covers for this strange couple.

Episode 233 - Mr. Xcitement

David Baker returns to the show, this time live from Velour Underground Studio, as we attempt a YouTube live stream episode for the first time. Hear (some of) our struggles with the streaming software (cut out most of the most annoying tech issues lol) as we discuss the unwarranted dissing of Mr. Xcitement by certan groups of the TMBG fandom. We will defend its honor as we talk about Mike Doughty, the Elegant Two, drum programming and synths and lots more. 
Watch us chat Mr. Xcitement on YouTube! Here's Part 1, and here's Part 2.
