Episode 263 - Moonbeam Rays
Having appeared on a BOOK-themed Patreon episode years back, Ian Hutchings is finally appearing on his first regular weekly episode. We talked about the Book single "Moonbeam Rays", discussing which version of the tune is better - the album or music video version. I play audio of the song from the Covington, KY show I went to, we play four covers - three from the Covers Crüe - and find out Ian is moving to my town!

Episode 262 - R U Together
Joel Shaughnessy is here to talk about the TMBG & McSweeny's collaboration compilation track "R U Together." Chances are a lot of you are unfamiliar with this track and perhaps the project as a whole, but Joel will get you caught up, telling us about the album and the book that accompanies it. Is this song any good? Listen to find out, and hear two awesome covers, one by Homework Party aka Joel himself!

Episode 261 - S-E-X-X-Y
My BFF Steve Clark returns to the show after long last, to talk about the divisive TMBG Factory Showroom single, "S-E-X-X-Y." Let's discuss why this song doesn't deserve the hate it gets as we hear many remixes, live versions of different arrangements, and fun covers.
-
Episode 260 - Hall of Heads
Matt Meyer makes his debut on the show to talk about the Apollo 18 classic "Hall of Heads." We talk at length about the interesting introduction and the oddly placed key change, and ponder why they've barely played this great song live.
-
Episode 259 - TRACTOR
Our good friend Noah Daniel returns at long last to talk about the More Murdered Remains song "Tractor." We attempt to figure out the metaphors of this odd, catchy song, and hear great covers from a bunch of friends, and Noah himself.
-
Episode 258 - I Love You for Psychological Reasons
Moth Moroz returns to show after a long absence to talk about the Phone Power favorite "I Love You for Psychological Reasons." We ponder about the narrator of the song, examine the amazing rhyme schemes, and hear the Johns critique their own live performances.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful
It’s hard to believe that you can get two people talking about a 2 1/2 minute song for 1 1/2 hours, and have it be entertaining. And yet it is.
So great for a TMBG fan
Greg’s ability to connect with all of his cohosts is a gift. The commentary is fun, thoughtful, informative, spontaneous, and entertaining. I’m very interested in seeing his final scores at the end of the tour.
Fellowship of TMBG
Apart from my immediate family, life as a TMBG fan has been mostly a solitary pursuit. It’s like a breath of fresh air to have somehow even found my way here to this podcast. It’s a small miracle, really. Each day there are wee victories for this old school/pre-internet era gal, and this is one of them. I’m thankful for all the hard work and creative energy that is poured into the making of each episode. I have only listened to a few so far, but I am sincerely enjoying what I’m hearing. I’m glad to have found a landing pad to camp out on where my favorite band and their incredible body of work is debated and celebrated! This is not such a solitary pursuit after all. Not to put too fine a fine point on it, I am Thankful!
