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. We talk about the original song, Phil and Grace's son Davy, and then they play a cover of the song live on the episode.

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.

Saturday Oct 07, 2023

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.

Monday Sep 25, 2023

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. 

Monday Sep 11, 2023

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.

Friday Sep 01, 2023

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.

Kim Lumpkin makes her debut on the show to talk about the TMBG kids song classic, "Lazyhead and Sleepybones" from No! We debate a possible demo, hear a rare live version, and partake in a wide variety of quality covers. 

Saturday Aug 12, 2023

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.
