Blink And You'll Miss It

It’s finally time for the second cover song of Season 1! It’s a +44 cover of a very good Smashing Pumpkins song and I think that’s very interesting because, in another universe, I did this show about Smashing Pumpkins and called it Smashing Idea, James! or Let’s Get Smashed! or Billy Don’t Be a Zero! … Continue reading Episode 67 – I Am One →

This is the kind of song you write when you’re a good songwriter and you decide to address the issues that you’re actually dealing with, as opposed to the issues that you recall dealing with when you were in High School. It’s a sad, beautiful song, indeed. Episode 66 – Home is Such a Lonely … Continue reading Episode 66 – Home is Such a Lonely Place →

Hey! It’s the one time that the calendar has synced up with the song being talked about and I didn’t know it so we don’t talk at all about how this is going up on Memorial Day, though we DO mention Memorial Day.

This is a very quick song that feels basically ripped from the headlines of Mark Hoppus’s life. Mark is on record as basically saying “yeah, it’s a neat little tune” NOT THAT HE HAS TO EXPOUND ON IT IF HE DOESN’T WANT TO! Episode 58 – Go Here’s a great version from an AOL session … Continue reading Episode 58 – Go →

Here’s a song about being who you are and fuck all the haters! And also…well, also about hating everyone who doesn’t like what you like, which I’m not ENTIRELY on board with. But, you know. It’s a pretty good song! Episode 57 – Give Me One Good Reason And here’s a pretty good acoustic version … Continue reading Episode 57 – Give Me One Good Reason →

I really like this song a lot and reading more about it only solidified that position. No, it doesn’t sound like Blink from Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. Yes, it sounds like the idealized version that I have in my head of Angels and Airwaves. And apparently, the verses sound VERY similar to the … Continue reading Episode 56 – Ghost on the Dance Floor →

One time, someone spiked Mark’s drink and he got really high and really scared. The moral is: don’t spike drinks. It’s super scary to be high when you weren’t expecting to be high. Here’s a song about it! Episode 53 – Fighting the Gravity I couldn’t find a live performance of it, but here’s a … Continue reading Episode 53 – Fighting the Gravity →

Well, we’ve arrived at the first title that I just don’t know what it means at all. It won’t be the last, but it’s certainly the first. Urban Dictionary says that it means “One which excels in stupidity, otherwise known as a loser” So I guess I could have looked that up before I recorded, … Continue reading Episode 52 – Fentoozler →

Get ready for action! Today I’m joined once again by Leon (@leonhuxtable) from Yeah G’day (@yeahgdaypodcast) to discuss the first single from the un/self-titled album!

I’m really hoping that this episode is coherent. It felt like it was when I recorded it, but I was also recording it at like 1:30 am, so I guess we’ll see! This is a good song, but aside from that, I didn’t really find anything that struck me to comment on. They can’t all … Continue reading Episode 48 – Even If She Falls →
