This is the 50th episode of this podcast! I'm joined by friend Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats, Bonny Light Horseman) to talk about handclaps. We talk about handclaps in the songwriting and recording process, play some of our favorite songs featuri
This episode features all songs whose titles are questions, even though some aren't punctuated as such. There are many songs that would qualify for this theme that aren't included, but I tried to gather a bunch that are all pretty different fro
Songs in this episode feature two-part harmony for most of the song! Also, they're all good. Hopefully it isn't new information that the songs on this podcast are good. Songs discussed in this episode: The Beatles - There's A Place (1963) Wee
Here are pairs of songs that share some feature (melody, chord progression, instrumentation, etc) and therefore remind me of each other. I hope that when you hear them you also go "hey!" or maybe just "oh yeah, okay", that works too. Songs di
All songs in this episode feature use of chromatic scales. Have you thought about doing a bunch of half steps lately? Something to consider! Songs discussed in this episode: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman - The Phantom
Here's a selection of songs featuring "If" in the title. We're getting conditional, baby (if you're into that). Songs discussed in this episode: Blonde Redhead - If (2023) Cat Stevens/Yusuf - If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out (1970) Guided By
Today's playlist contains all songs with finger-picked guitar parts! Or at least I'm pretty sure that's right, I don't play guitar. The songs are all good though. Songs discussed in this episode: Elizabeth Cotten - Freigh Train (1957) Elliott
Today's playlist features songs whose titles are people names (names only, not names in a phrase). Songs discussed in this episode: Basement Jaxx - Romeo (2001) Pixies - Allison (1990) Jennie Lawless - Annie (2021) Ween - Gabrielle (2005) Pau
My friend Joel Spence is here to talk about The B-52's 1983 album "Whammy"! We also talk a lot about The B-52's in general and I manage to also sneak in "Janitor" by Suburban Lawns.
Today's playlist is all songs featuring both male and female singers. Sometimes harmonizing, sometimes in unison, sometimes call and response, sometimes doing background for each other. Fun! Songs discussed in this episode: Marvin Gaye, Tammi T
Today's playlist contains songs with numbers 1-10 in the titles! Kind of a flimsy theme but they're all good songs so I guess deal with it. Songs discussed in this episode: The Lemon Twigs - The One (2020) Frank Black - Two Spaces (1993) Paul
Today my friend Mel Cowan joins me to talk about a sampling of our favorite album openers! We didn't have time to play and talk about every possible entry in this list, but we mention a ton that weren't discussed and you should check out. Son
Today we're talking about time signatures - what are they, and why are songs with non-traditional time signatures so cool sounding? This is not super math heavy or expert-level analysis, but in it I share some of my favorite songs with weird ti
This week we're exploring one facet of how stupid the written system of English is by featuring songs that feature words containing various pronunciations (all 6!) of "ough". Discussed in this episode: Fleetwood Mac - Although The Sun Is Shi
Today's theme is doing something more than once, so all titles reference that concept. Musically repetitive songs will be a theme for another time! Discussed in this episode: Grizzly Bear - Yet Again (2012) Ty Segall - Repetition (2024) Rober
Today's theme is geography, so these are all songs with geographical names in the titles. And - get this - the songs are all good. Discussed in this episode: Sufjan Stevens - Flint (For The Unemployed and Underpaid) (2003) Parquet Courts - Be
Here are a bunch of songs that would have been from my childhood if I had been born 40 years earlier. I say in the episode that the songs are in chronological order and now that I'm typing it out I see that that's only mostly true, please forgi
Today I'm joined by Will Hines (Screw It We're Just Gonna Talk About the Beatles, Comedy Bang Bang) to talk about the 2007 Of Montreal album "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?"! Other Of Montreal songs played during the episode are "So Begi
Here is a large handful of great songs that are not in English! Songs discussed in this episode: Özdemir Erdoğan - Gurbet (1989) Marina Herlop - La Alhambra (2023) Volta Jazz - Bi Kameleou (1977) Emillia Contessa - Malam Minggu (1982) Cafe T
I'm back! We're back! We all made this happen! Kicking off season two with a return to the theme of movin' and groovin'. Songs discussed in this episode: Jorge Ben Jor - Africa Brasil (Zumbi) (1976) Yellow Magic Orchestra - 手掛かり (Key) (1981)
This episode is about pairs of songs that have the same title but are totally different (i.e. not covers or alternate versions of the same song). There are more examples than could be included in one episode, so maybe a part 2 is in the future!
These are all songs that have opposite pairs in the titles (with the exception of one that has "opposite" in the title and that's good enough for me). I think I also misspoke and said that the Elliott Smith album was called "From A Basement On
Songs featuring keyboard/mallet percussion! We're celebrating the struck idiophones today - vibraphone, xylophone, glockenspiel, marimba, tubular bells, and more! Songs discussed in this episode: Bobby Hebb - Sunny (1966) Harumi - Hurry Up No
Numbers - ever heard of 'em? All the songs in today's episode feature counting! Not count-ins, count-ins don't count as counting. Songs discussed in this episode: Len Barry - 1,2,3 (1965) Feist - 1234 (2007) The Beatles - All Together Now (19
