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.

Moth Moroz returns to show after a long absence to talk about the <i>Phone Power</i> 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.

Friday Apr 12, 2024

Tyler Colton of Goodbye Viking joins me to talk about a fan-favorite deep cut, "Tiny Doctors," which never even made it to the Dial-a-Song machine, finally being released on TMBG Unlimited. We ponder about how deep to read into the lyrics and whether this song should have been fleshed out and put on an album, and then we hear a crazy amount of covers for how obscure this song is.

Gabby Crouch is our guest this week to talk about the Robin Goldwasser-lead track "The Poisonousness," the closing song for The Escape Team. We talk about the lovely Hand Witch, ask "where are the guitars?" and discuss the importance of "woo woos."

Seth Hershman makes their TMBP debut to talk about the closer of Apollo 18, "Space Suit." We talk about how its origins are tied to the origin of the band, hear the song's original form under a different title, and hear live versions through the years, some more successful than others.
