Episode 28: Meet her in the bathroom? Yeah! There's a bathroom on the right!

Brian Faughnan and Cort Winsett unpack song lyrics that take on an entirely new meaning depending on who's listening. They start with Brian's The (English) Beat analysis and then talk through Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, and the Beatles as just a sample of the lyrical misunderstandings. 

Mondegreens, and music appreciation! Also, Dave Grohl and unveiling the legacy of a Rock Ambassador for an entire generation through somebody else's podcast!

Episode 27: ScarJo should sing a White Claw commercial.

In this episode the guys talk about Break Up by Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson, and then they can't help but revisit their talk about multi-hyphenate artists and spend what is maybe a little too long on a discussion about ScarJo and her potential in music. 

Going a little off-concept, they dive into a discussion about popular reality game shows, and they go deep with their current obsession, The Traitors, which leads to a debate about what the best competitive game show format is. 

Brian gives a review of the podcast "Bad on Paper." The guys discuss Brian's excitement regarding the upcoming album release from The Decemberists. Cort gives Brian a new assignment, which reveals the musical mentality of an 80s adopter. Finally, the episode concludes on the always entertaining, Random Podcast Generator segment.

Episode 25: Guilty Pleasures

Wherein we discuss the podcast Valley Heat, go off on a tangent about 70s/80s rock bands, and of course arrive home with conversation about music that is a guilty pleasure.  And oh so much more.

Episode 24: Our most commercial episode so far.

 Brian's the one who has listened to "something new lately," and it's going to be a bit of a feisty podcast. Kevn Kinney lives! But maybe Feist's Let It Die should stay dead.  Then there's all those songs from commercials. No guests. No rules. Just right.

Episode 23: Why don't you ever want to play? I'm tired of this piece of string.

So, this [is] the thing that we do. This is a podcast for listeners by listeners. We've said this before ... [we] don't really create or produce anything worth listening to, BUT we consume a lot of stuff. We really like to listen to things.  Almost every time we sit down to talk, we have something new we've listened to ... this episode is The Weakerthans' Reconstruction Site!

Episode 22: Now Powered by a Jumbotron

In this episode Brian Uses big words.  The guys discuss the podcast Crime in Sports, and after their rather "subdued" opinion is expressed they move onto one of the top 30 new indie albums of 2023 Wishes to Fulfill by Another Michael.  Brian really digs deep to describe who these artists remind him of.  Matthew Sweet is mentioned?  They talk Saviors, but there's nothing to report, and then of course no podcast would be complete without an in depth discussion of Memphis infrastructure.  Check it out.

Episode 21: Stomp stomp clap? More like stomp clap stomp!

Do you remember that Off-Broadway percussion/dance show that came around in the 90's? No, not Blue Man Group! The other one.  The dudes with the brooms and trashcans! STOMP!  Yeah, this episode has nothing to do with that. Join Brian and Cort for a conversation about the rapidly ascending musical star of Noah Kahan.  There's some holiday recapping to be done, because who doesn't love a good holiday recap, and also a teensy tinsy mea culpa from Cort.  Join us, cuz we've got magic to do, and we'd love some company, even if we don't love "Company" (jumbled Broadway references will all be made clear if you'll just listen)!
