TnT's Hit Songs From Mars Tom Thompson, Tyler Ralston

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, the lads travel back to the disco era where they shake their boo-tays to none other than...Pink Floyd? As they try to dig the dark Floydian disco groove, they critique some hits (and misses) of rock bands attempting disco and marvel at how the genre penetrated every nook and cranny of the era that bears its name. Ty also offers Tom an olive branch for his unrelenting dissing of producers, which Tom preempts...with a gift. All and all, it's j...

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, the lads become possessed by the unnerving creepiness of Mike Oldfield's unlikely hit "Tubular Bells", the theme music from the 1973 horror classic The Exorcist. Thankfully, special guest Joseph Trivers performs a successful exorcism on the dreadful scene, through his exploration of minimalist music and the mechanics of how it confounds, delights, and offers unforeseen avenues of expression. Join the trio for a totally tubular episode of TnT.Songs...

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, the lads got them a pod that's as big as whale and it's about to set sail! On route to the B-52s' "Love Shack" they head down the Atlanta Highway and pick up some shiny happy people including REM, Iggy Pop, Nile Rodgers, and Don Was (Not Was) and...the legendary John Lennon himself?

Send us a Text Message.In this episode Tom presents his Dissertation on Delay to Professor Ralston, who must choose the Hit Songiest Song From Mars from a number of worthy (and not so worthy) candidates.

This ignites a compelling discussion on the unlikely bedfellows of Goth Rock, Reggae, Motown, Psychedelia and of course...Bauhaus and Van Halen! It's a ball of confusion you do not ...

Send us a Text Message.Now that the Falalalala season is over, time to get into the Trololo! Join the comrades as they revisit the "Golden Age" of YouTube (and perhaps the internet itself) with Eduard Khil's legendary non-lexical vocable masterpiece. As they travel along the Information Superhighway, they find the lost songs of their youth, search for the Sugar Man, and take an unexpected trip to Africa. C'mon and mash it up under the double rainbow with TnT!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Da...

Send us a Text Message.O come all ye faithful and join the lads as they say pogue mahone to Christmas, with that most un-Christmassy of Christmas carols "Fairytale of New York." As they attempt (and fail) to find the true meaning of Christmas, the fellows examine the multi-year process that went into the making of this unlikely holiday classic, debate which Pogues album marked their peak, and examine the life and legacy of the late, great Shane MacGowan. Happy Christmas your arse, we pray god...
