Music, Maria...& Drake!

Join Maria and Drake, two music-loving millennials living in Iowa with two extremely different musical tastes, as they seek to go into each other's worlds.

    Episode 45 - Back From The Dead

    (orig. recorded 4/14/24) Wowza! From falling off the face of the planet and back again, we're back! Don't adjust wherever you get your podcasts from, we're here to grace your earholes once again with our riveting commentary, stout opinions and shenanigans. Today, Maria talks "Radiant Bloom" from Massachusetts band Astronoid and Drake talks "Born Sinner" from J. Cole. We also talk about the Kendrick/Drake beef where it currently stood (as of time of recording) so have fun listening to how THAT aged. Opening disclaimer courtesy of LuckyBoyCharm on Fiverr!

    Episode 44 - The Girlies Are Fighting!

    Wow! We're back! You know what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Or something like that. We're back, to talk about some underappreciated bands, not to be confused with underRATED bands. These are artists that are very renowned and acclaimed by their peers, but we just feel like maybe they don't get enough love sometimes. Today, Drake is talking "The Gifted" by rapper Wale and Maria chats about STYX's "The Grand Illusion"! Plus, we chat about some fun hip-hop goss between Kendrick, Drake, J. Cole and everyone in between. Join us! Opening disclaimer courtesy of LuckyBoyCharm on Fiverr! Opening music "Powerful Beat" by penguinmusic courtesy of Pixabay!

    Episode 43 - Pronounciations? In THIS Economy?!

    Hello friends! New pod rule: If you don't hear from us within a week, assume we're off touching grass. If you don't hear from us within a couple of weeks, uh...we're probably doing something important. Maybe. Who's to say? But fear not! We're back this week, talking about some fun albums that we've gotten recommended to us by non-pod friends. Drake will be talking the self-titled album from rock opera group East Village Opera Company and Maria chats about "Foregone" from Swedish heavy metal band In Flames. To make up for our absence, tune to hear some Drake's velvet-like tones and Maria attempts to growl. Heavy on the word "attempt". Opening disclaimer courtesy of LuckyBoyCharm on Fiverr!

    Episode 42 - We Ran Out of Things to Talk About!

    Hello, all! As per the title, it's a lawless land this week. We couldn't think of a theme for today's episode, so the theme of this week...is that we don't have a theme. Today, Drake will be talking about "Tha Carter III" from Lil Wayne -- while Maria chats about "The Odyssey" from Symphony X, with a special guest! Tune in to listen who crashes our recording, live and in person! We even have diagrams! Opening disclaimer courtesy of LuckyBoyCharm on Fiverr!

    Episode 41 - Drake vs. Ozzy at Wrestlemania

    Another week is upon us, friends! Do you have that one album that gets better every time you listen to it? We sure do! Today, Drake talks "The Black Album" from Jay-Z and Maria dives into "Labyrinth" from Italian group Fleshgod Apocalypse...with help from Maria's mom? Plus, Drake responds to being called out for not enjoying Ozzy Osbourne! Opening disclaimer courtesy of LuckyBoyCharm on Fiverr! Opening music "Powerful Beat" by penguinmusic courtesy of Pixabay!

    Episode 40 - That's Right, Another MGK Episode

    Hi, friends! We're back this week for the big 4-0 to discuss bands who've drastically changed their sound and we couldn't be more stoked to bring this to your earholes. Maria will be talking "Blackwater Park" from our favorite Swedes Opeth and Drake will be chatting about MGK's introduction in mainstream pop punk with "Tickets to My Downfall". Listen in as Maria once again goes toe to toe with geography and Drake talks about why it's important to not be a poser when entering a new genre.

    BONUS EPI - It Was The 80s (feat. GYASI)

    Hi, friends! We're back this week with some bonus content for your earholes. While Drake was away, I got the esteemed pleasure of hanging out with our good pal, Minneapolis' own Gyasi Dwayne. Noted aficionado of all things frontmen, we pit some notable leading faces of music against each other to see who comes out on top! This talk was incredibly fun and incredibly chaotic, so we hope you enjoy! We'll be back next week with our regular content, take care for now! Opening disclaimer courtesy of LuckyBoyCharm on Fiverr!
