    Episode 58 - To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)

    Special guest, Diana Parry-Cruwys, finally gets another chance to pick a song of her very own with this week's "To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High) by alt-country, prolific rocker, Ryan Adams.  Not the guy who sang "Summer of '69".  We discuss how unlike My Bloody Valentine this song is, how hard it is to pick just one song when you write an album a year, how drugs are bad.  Stay in school kids.

    Episode 57 - I Learned the Hard Way

    A return visit from Jack Every to the TPOS studio gets us bringing the funk.  Noise may be brought as well.  Regardless, we spend a pleasant time talking about the amazing Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' "I Learned the Hard Way".  What makes this modern take on the Motown sound so cool? And does anybody know how to make a hang-up click on a cell phone? We're plumbing unknown genres this week, folks! Also, a rare TV recommendation unrelated to music but correlated with deliciousness.

    Episode 56 - Gimme Shelter

    After comparing our local classic rock stations (RIP, radio), super-guest and music encyclopedia, Chris Hornbostel, and I get into the deep talk about The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter".  Buy why is it an amazing song? Not just because it captures the turmoil of the 60's, not just because it's a secretly scary song, not just because of Keith Richards blusey, jazzy guitar, not just because of Mick Jagger's excellent lyrics, not just because of Merry Clayton's virtuouso performance, not just because of Charlie Watts' perfect snare beats, but...well, listen to the episode to find out.  Let's celebrate the end of the peace and love era together, shall we?

    Episode 55 - Mr. Blue Sky

    Rob's solo-casting it up this week with one of his personal favorite's, ELOs "Mr. Blue Sky".  Listen in horror as he attempts to describe fancy orchestral words! Stare in sympathy as he consults his thesaurus to come up with new words for "awesome"! Flee from the overwhelming gushing of good vibes and joyousness! Feel happy emotions deep inside your soul as you realize that you've already started humming the chorus.  Don't hide away for so long, listener: embrace the sun before Mr. Night comes to ruin the party.

    Episode 54 - Cannonball

    Matt Summers makes a triumphant return with a song that has absolutely nothing wrong with it, The Breeders' "Cannonball".  Is it true that the Ewoks provide backing vocals to Kim Deal? Is anything cooler than early-90s distortion effects? And is being a great band with an awesome single the same as being a one-hit wonder? Have a swig of this delicious shimmy shake while you listen.

    Episode 53 - Imagine

    While I messed up and forgot that "Imagine" was actually from the album Imagine, special guest, Terry Parretti, lifelong educator and dancer, forgives me in the name of  John Lennon's message of peace, humanity, and love.  We discuss what happens when we die and if it even matters, the power of music in teaching, and just how crummy the 70s were.  Stay tuned until the end for some free choreography consultation.

    Episode 52 - Almost Summer

    This week we sip lemon gin with writer/comedian/nice person, Hunter Gardner. to celebrate the season with a discussion of "Almost Summer" by Jason Collett.  We wonder why summer sounds so sad in this song, opine on the indignities of youthful intoxication, and embarrass each other with bad date stories.  Our pants remain securely around our ankles.

    Episode 51 - Summertime Smorgasbord

    Because they did me the favor of visiting me, I forced a good 40% of my extended family into the ol' podcast studio to discuss our favorite songs about America and the summertime, but mostly the summertime. Hang ten and put your wayfarers on for a deep conversation on topics like what's the opposite of America, when's the best time to barbeque, is Dave Matthews music a substitute for Ambien, and just how awesome is a bottle of Zima? And in a They're Playing Our Song first: country music! Then a somber tangent about regret, past joys, and growing up as summer vacation hits the halfway point. Please very much nostal-joy! If you want to join us in thinking fondly about the songs we discussed, here's the final list: "It Must Be Summer" by Fountains of Wayne (Rob's choice) "Surfin' U.S.A." by The Beach Boys (Heejean's choice) "Hot Fun In the Summertime" by Sly and the Family Stone (Brendon's choice) "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (Justin's choice) "Heavy Metal Drummer" by Wilco (Diana's choice) "Cold Beverage" by G. Love and Special Sauce (Jessica's choice) "Summertime" by Kenny Chesney (Mike's choice) "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley (Sara's choice) "Summersong" by The Decemberists (Rob's original summer choice) If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Download Mp3
