"Insensitive" by Jann Arden (f/Robert Bacon) Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

In 1996, the Christian Slater rom-com Bed of Roses was released. While it was a disappointment at the box office, it helped launch Jann Arden's 1994 single “Insensitive” onto the US Billboard charts. While Jann is a massive star in Canada, this was her only success in the States. Today, we’re joined by 91 Donkey Lane's Robert Bacon, who shares why this song is the ultimate karaoke jam, and together, we push the envelope of what we can accomplish on a podcast by writing a new verse to the song. How do you rid the sweat after the body bliss? How do you slow your blood after the body rush? We’ll answer these questions (and many more) on today’s episode.

"Bad Day" by Daniel Powter (f/Lex the Lexicon Artist) Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever had a bad day? Sure, we all have. Has Daniel Powter’s 2005 hit “Bad Day” ever made that day better, or has it only served to make it that much worse? This week, we’re joined by rapper Lex the Lexicon Artist to answer this question and help us decide if this Canadian singer-songwriter deserved a few more good days on the Billboard charts.

"Flava in Ya Ear" by Craig Mack (f/Wordburglar) Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

Craig Mack’s “Flava In Ya Ear” was the first single released by Bad Boy Records in 1994. Despite the track’s success, his album was overshadowed by the massive hype behind labelmate Notorious B.I.G.’s debut record which was released only 7 days later. Mack was left in the shadows, but his story only gets crazier from there. We are joined by podcaster, rapper, and hip-hop fanatic Wordburglar to discuss why the late Craig Mack deserves more credit for his futuristic flow.

"Get Free" by The Vines (f/Matthew Milligan) Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

Wheatus bassist Matthew Milligan makes his third appearance on the show this week. Instead of going the usual route of discussing an artist he loves, he changed it up by choosing a band that he was unsure about. The Vines were once considered “the saviors of rock n’ roll” by some publications, but in a strange turn of events, at least one of these outlets later apologized for the delivering the crown so flippantly. Should we all have paid more attention to The Vines, or were we lucky to “Get Free” of them when we did? Stay tuned to find out.

"Low" by Cracker Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

While the 90s were full of bands that got signed during the peak of grunge, few bands had the long history and the genre-bending talent of Cracker. The band first broke with their song “Teen Angst”, but it was “Low” that really delivered them into the ears of the mainstream. Our Patreon supporters wanted us to discuss this one, so we took a crack at it.

"Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer (f/Russ Burlingame) Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

Christian folk group Sixpence None The Richer had an unexpected mainstream explosion with their song “Kiss Me”, after it was featured in the 90s teen film “She’s All That”. Beyond a few low charting cover songs, however, they quickly fell out of the public consciousness. This week, we’re joined by Russ Burlingame - author of the new book “Best Movie Ever: The Oral History of Elfont & Kaplan’s Josie and the Pussycats” - to discuss the band whose music will always be associated with Rachael Leigh Cook.

"Here It Goes Again" by OK Go (f/ David Shockley) Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

Few bands have ever been helped more by a music video than OK Go. They had faith in their own music when their record label didn’t, and they took advantage of internet virality to launch their career. Unique, eye-catching videos continue to be their thing, but the choreographed treadmill routine of “Here It Goes Again” will forever be the legacy of the band among people who only know them in passing. Is it worth going the extra mile to listen to more of their music though? Tune in to find out!

"Lucas with the Lid Off" by Lucas (f/Tony Hartman) Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

1994 was a landmark year for both music and film. Somewhere in that whirlwind of Dookie and the Shawshank Redemption, the Downward Spiral and Forrest Gump, and The Blue Album and Pulp Fiction was LUCAS. No, not the 1986 Corey Haim movie…we’re talking about the Danish rapper Lucas, and his single “Lucas With The Lid Off”. The song was in regular rotation on MTV, thanks partly to a Michel Gondry directed music video. This week, Tony Hartman returns to the show to discuss this jazz rap / electro swing jam. Did we catch the vibe, or was he was a ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba ba-blunder? Tune in to this week’s episode to find out!

"King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

We let the members of our new Patreon page vote for an episode, and they overwhelmingly chose Go West’s song “King of Wishful Thinking” from the Pretty Woman soundtrack. Did we listen to the talk of the town, or were we just trying to fool ourselves when it comes to one of the MOST adult contemporary songs ever? Tune in to hear us break down this simultaneously happy and heart-wrenching (emphasis on the WRENCH) pop jam.

"Cumbersome" by Seven Mary Three (f/Trevor Leonard) Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

When you Google the adjective “Cumbersome”, the first thing that comes up is the definition of the word, which is “large or heavy and therefore difficult to carry or use”. The second thing that comes up, however, is a giant YouTube thumbnail image of Seven Mary Three leader singer Jason Ross. Most people, in fact, instantly think of this 1996 modern rock single any time they hear the word, and this week’s guest Trevor Leonard is no exception. Are Seven Mary Three too heavy, too light, too black or too white, too wrong or too right? Tune in to this week’s episode to find out!
