"Here It Goes Again" by OK Go (f/ David Shockley)

Episode 104

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)

Episode 103

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

Episode 102

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)

Episode 101

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!

"Mother" by Danzig (w/Jim Logrando)

Episode 98

This week, we are joined once again by Jim Logrando to talk about Danzig’s only mainstream hit “Mother”. It took 5 years from the song’s original release for it to climb the charts, but it left an unforgettable impression. Almost three decades later, it’s still Danzig’s signature song.

"Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley (w/Katie Elsasser)

Episode 97

This week, we are joined by Geekscape’s own Katie Elsaesser to discuss Gnarls Barkley’s 2006 megahit “Crazy”. With not much more than a spaghetti western soundtrack sample and some off-the-cuff vocals, the collaboration of CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse found themselves at the top of the charts. There was something so pleasant about that place, but unfortunately, Gnarls Barkely were crazy to think that they’d ever reach those heights again.

We talk about our memories and history with the song and also go down a very strange tangent about Island Boys. This is sure to be an all time great!!

"Candy Rain" by Soul For Real

Episode 95

This week on the show, Chris accomplishes the near-impossible by choosing a song that Matt has never heard: the R&B masterpiece “Candy Rain” by Soul For Real. It took 8 different writers to create this monster jam, which may have been a small piece of why this band of brothers was never able to match the success of their iconic hit single.
