Episode 256 - McCafferty's Bib
Alex Sanchez makes his debut on the show to talk about one of I Like Fun's most experimental tracks, "McCafferty's Bib." We talk about microtones, ring modulators, and hear one of the most insane remixes ever.
-
Episode 255 - Tiny Doctors
Tyler Colton of Goodbye Viking joins me to talk about a fan-favorite deep cut, "Tiny Doctors," which never even made it to the Dial-a-Song machine, finally being released on TMBG Unlimited. We ponder about how deep to read into the lyrics and whether this song should have been fleshed out and put on an album, and then we hear a crazy amount of covers for how obscure this song is.

Episode 254 - The Poisonousness
Gabby Crouch is our guest this week to talk about the Robin Goldwasser-lead track "The Poisonousness," the closing song for The Escape Team. We talk about the lovely Hand Witch, ask "where are the guitars?" and discuss the importance of "woo woos."
-
Episode 253 - Hearing Aid
Robert Writhe of The Writhers is here to talk about an often-overlooked Flood track, "Hearing Aid." We discuss the sample-heavy arrangement of the track, guest guitarist Arto Lindsay, and the controversial 2022/2023 tour version.

Episode 252 - Space Suit
Seth Hershman makes their TMBP debut to talk about the closer of Apollo 18, "Space Suit." We talk about how its origins are tied to the origin of the band, hear the song's original form under a different title, and hear live versions through the years, some more successful than others.

Episode 251 - Bread Hair
Continuing our streak of bizarre early songs, Lauren Davis returns to the show and brings along a friend, newcomer Matt Molaro. We talk about old synths, John C. Reilly, and try to figure out what the hell is up with this song.
