Show notes

Come watch the stars play on a new episode of OHWOW, featuring the story of eternal teen Rivers Cuomo and his unkillable band, Weezer. Also, Rick Rubin shows up and we play the first incarnation of our new game show, What's Weird Al Gonna Do Next? It's just what the doctor ordered.

Ep. 11: "How Bizarre" by OMC (#4, 1997) Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

How bizarre to see a new episode of OHWOW, about the New Zealand trailblazer OMC, no less! In this episode, we get back to our roots with the story of Pauly Fuemana and Alan Jansson's 1997 smash. Plus, we take LSD, get abducted by robots, and surmise our demises. If you're interested in the rest, please contact our lawyers about the rights.

Ep. 10: "Take on Me" / "The Sun Always Shines on TV" by a-ha (#1, 1985) / (#20, 1986) feat. Bears and You Feb 14, 2019

Show notes

A-HA! For our first two-hit wonder, Maxton ropes in one of his old bandmates (Nick Bottomley of Bears and You & Christmas, Somewhere) to nerd out over the perennial 80s juggernaut, a-ha's "Take on Me", and pay tribute to its forgotten sibling, "The Sun Always Shines on TV". Prepare to be taken.

We're back and more emotionally intelligent than ever. On our eighth episode, we dive deep into the legacy of Talking Heads spin-off group Tom Tom Club, sponsored by IQ points and intra-band animosity.
