In the Mix

The boys are back and trying to be a little less dour, so with the help of returning champ Jessie "Truck Yeah" McCormick we're talking about some of the songs that get us hyped up like no other. The songs that get us singing, dancing, screaming along in our cars, all of it. It's a journey that takes us from 2000s pop punk to 80s soul, indie dance to queer surf rock, British new wave to the damn Dave Matthews Band.

In the Mix

Katie Wright returns to talk about songs that touch on a grizzly, gruesome topic: MURDER. Are these songs terrifying odes to violence, or silly make-believes written by little scamps? From Broadway showtunes to ambient indie, horror punk to 90s alternative, Johnny Cash to Tom Waits, what makes for a great ode to killing and what makes it such an intriguing song topic?

In the Mix

It may be Valentine's Day but we're not here to help you seduce your loved one this year. We're going the other way and talking some of the worst, dumbest, most annoying and least sexy love songs ever put on record. How did one of the worst Billboard number one hits in history ever get made? Could this one Nickelback song undo all the backlash to the backlash? Is Bryan Adams the evil Darius Rucker? All that, plus an awed conversation about how successful Shinedown is, to get you and your partner in the mood.

In the Mix

Joined by returning guest Bill Lambusta (Fake Pockets, The Great Albums), we discuss some songs produced by some of his favorite mixers, engineers and/or gurus along with some of Steve and Dave's favorite produced songs. From Blondie to Stone Temple Pilots, 90s industrial to 2000s emo, we're talking production value! We also discuss the various ways someone can be a good producer and how they can help bring out the best in a band, whether fixating on their guitar tone or just being the adult in the room. We also briefly talk about aliens, and how Tom Delonge has for sure seen one.

Haterade: Popular Songs We Don't Like show art Haterade: Popular Songs We Don't Like

In the Mix

We've been too positive lately about music, talking about things we enjoy. Not this week! This week we're gatekeeping and playing devil's advocate, steadfastly refusing to let you enjoy things. We talk about ten popular songs from the last 50+ years that we, for whatever petty reasons, just don't like. Beloved classic rock songs, megahits of the last few years, and sappy ballads all get put on notice so that we can indulge in being haters for a little bit.

Santa Claus Comes Tonight: Horny Christmas Songs show art Santa Claus Comes Tonight: Horny Christmas Songs

In the Mix

It's the holiday season! In the past, we've talked good Christmas songs and we've talked bad Christmas songs. This year, with returning guest Chris Fox of Ruby Bones, we go in a bit of a different direction, gazing into the abyss that is horny Christmas songs. From coy jazz numbers to lusty slow jams, killer soul tracks to queercore, we get a wide variety of tunes about having sex on Christmas. Do you know who Blowfly is? You should, and will after this episode. Did you know AC/DC had a Christmas song? You shouldn't, and unfortunately you will after this episode. Sorry about that.

In episode 3 of discussing Steve's favorite albums, we have already made the choice to go negative! We're talking 10 songs from these albums that just didn't feel up to par and wondering why. Why did The 1975 try to be Radiohead for a song? Why does it hurt so much when you find a Carly Rae Jepsen song boring? Why would The Wonder Years put an okay acoustic song on an otherwise perfect album? And why does Dave Matthews apologizing to someone sound so skin-crawlingly weird?
