Pretty Good Vibrations analyzes and celebrates pop and rock music and its crucial role throughout our lives. Podcast veteran and host Dan Koch (You Have Permission Podcast) has been a professional musician for most of the last 20 years: songwriter for the emo-pop band Sherwood, then as a commercial composer since 2012. Multiple episode styles include bracket-style tournaments, chronological walk-throughs, and deep dives into genres, artists, and eras.

Soundtrack Shootout: Pulp Fiction v. Forrest Gump
Two music-centric films. Two different generations. Both released in 1994, Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction call upon the same period of popular music but in distinctly different ways (with very different budgets). Michael Parker (Pickwick) and I try out a new episode format -- you could say we take it for a spin in a vintage Chevy while enjoying an overpriced milkshake -- where we pit the soundtracks against each other, track by track. We also talk about the films a bit. And we hear some GREAT songs.
Let me know if these are fun!

2000's Emo Deep Dive & Mega-Tournament (Part 5)
THE GLORIOUS FINAL CHAPTER.
* Also we talk about YouTube, but this episode is audio-only (and further episodes, most likely!) *
We went for it on this one. 45 bands. 5 parts.
Dashboard Confessional. Saves the Day. Paramore. Further Seems Forever. Anberlin. Brand New. Taking Back Sunday. Cursive. My Chemical Romance... and THIRTY-SIX other bands.
I am joined by returning guest Jeff Martin (This Day & Age) for the most ambitious and thorough tournament yet attempted on Pretty Good Vibrations. But here's the thing -- we keep things fairly breezy throughout and don't linger on any particular band tooooo long... If you lived through this era, then we almost definitely talked about most of your favorite bands.

2000's Emo Deep Dive & Mega-Tournament (Part 4)
* This is part 4 *
** There was an issue with Jeff's mic, creating some little pops and audio artifacts throughout the episode. For some it might be too annoying, but I haven't found a way to solve it and I think it'll be livable for most listeners **

Customer Reviews
Loving these
I love music but have almost no musical ability or technical knowledge. It’s great to listen to Dan + (insert guest) talk about music I love in a ways I couldn’t get to on my own.
My wife is less annoyed
I often analyze music and genres to my wife that doesn’t care about that. So it is fun to have this outlet to listen to Dan and his friends “nerd out” on the inescapable music that has been stuck in my head for the past 41 years!
I needed this
Just when I started to wonder if one of my favorite groups is overrated Dan reminded me why I loved them and how their innovations are still relevant. Thanks!!
