Show notes

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 Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

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.

Madam, I Challenge You to a Duel w/ Laser Webber! Sep 01, 2023

Show notes

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 235 - Lazyhead and Sleepybones Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

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.

Episode 234 - Counterfeit Fake / Counterfeit Faker Aug 12, 2023

Show notes

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 Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

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.

Episode 232 - Stalk of Wheat Jul 29, 2023

Show notes

Carmen Montoya makes her debut on the show to talk about one of the best tracks off The Spine, "Stalk of Wheat." We examine what makes this song special on this album and their discography as a whole, find a whole slew of live versions, and a wealth of fan covers.

Episode 231 - Bee of the Bird of the Moth part 2 Jul 09, 2023

Show notes

We're back with Josh Pilch and myself talking "Bird of the Bee of the Moth" from The Else. We go through some different live performances, a wealth of covers of all styles, and score the song.

Episode 230 - Bee of the Bird of the Moth pt1 Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

This one was such a doozy it'll give you TWO weeks full of TMBG fan content. You'll see why this got so long right away - our guest Josh Pilch is an animator who has worked on WEIRD: the Al Yankovic Story as well as the music video for "Your Horoscope for Today" so you'll get some solid inside info on Weird Al stuff, THEN the TMBG stuff! On part 1 we discuss the actual hummingbird moth and dissect the song. Part 2 you'll get to hear so sweet live versions of the song, rad covers, and our scores.

Episode 229 - Renew My Subscription Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

Eve Gasse visits TMBP from that Frenchie part of Canada to bump the ranking of "Renew My Subscription" way up the TMBW song charts (be prepared to go score it on the wiki, for real). The song started as an exclusive from The Spine and then got a physical release on Venue Songs, but still has been relegated to deep cut status. Together we show you how impeccable the songwriting is, and how wild the lyrics are.
