Show notes

Thanks to "This Time Around," the jangly jam by '90s alt-rockers Luna, we're digging into bands worth loving for 25 years, our grandmothers' strangest advice, and our favorite concert memories.

Episode 193: Nelly, "Ride Wit Me" Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

While talking about "Ride Wit Me," we realize that Nelly can basically do everything. From poetic flourishes to inspiring biography to exceptional celebrity connections, we're discussing it all! 'Round about minute 17, we're also losing our fool minds.

Episode 192: Marvin Gaye, "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

Talking about Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" means talking about how covers can redefine songs, and how Gaye himself can always make us feel things. We also navigate Mark's disdain for the movie Practical Magic and once again let ourselves revel in Pip shade.

Episode 190: Sinéad O'Connor's "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got," Ranked Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

We've both had Sinead O'Connor's album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" stuck in our heads for 30 years, but ranking it proved challenging. How do we choose among so many evocations of pain, love, and three babies? Our path includes political rage, feelings you can't understand until you're older, and, of course, and the William Tell overture.
Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, as heard on the Brassed Off soundtrack. Want to leave us a voicemail? Just call 646-389-0767!

Episode 189: Yola, "Faraway Look" May 18, 2020

Show notes

The passionate throwback pop that Yola delivers on "Faraway Look" gets us talking about how stories dictate performances, how to sneak stupid stuff into serious moments, and how to suffer with toast. And thanks to a patron's request, we're also talking about Annie Lennox's "Little Bird" video and the many costumes therein.

Episode 188: An "Always On My Mind" Hat Trick May 11, 2020

Show notes

We go deep with "Always On My Mind," discussing versions by Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, and Pet Shop Boys. In the midst of discussing storytelling structure, vocal choices, and the magic of an extra chord, we also take a break to deliver a listener-requested playlist of stay-at-home dance songs.
Our intro is by Laura Barger and Jack Baldelli, and our outro is by Patsy Cline. Want to leave us a voicemail? Just call 646-389-0767!

Episode 187: Björk, "Big Time Sensuality" May 04, 2020

Show notes

We're talking about Bjork's "Big Time Sensuality," which means we're talking about blue raspberry ice cream, people with flowers for heads, and throwing up on rollercoasters. Because Bjork is surreal, see?!?! We're also talking about our preferred musical balance between experimentation and discipline, among other musical things.

Episode 185: Songs With Dubious Heroes, Ranked Apr 20, 2020

Show notes

We're ranking songs with dubious heroes -- meaning tunes about people who are quite possibly jerks. We're also talking about the legacy of Kenny Rogers, the reason not to discuss babies in an Arby's, and the worst approximations of calypso music.
