We're outta here! More accurately, our longtime buddy Tony Ross is outta here. Tony's leaving LA after many years and we'll miss having him around. We've always enjoyed having on the pod, going as far back as 2012! Tony's getting out, which inspired us to celebrate the art of getting out with our latest, TOP TEN SONGS ABOUT GETTING OUT. We needed more fun so we recruited Tony's partner in crime, the great Matt Dinan to join us. Things go off the rails quickly,  but in a good way, as picks 10-6 in our epic countdown are featured here in Part 1. 

Check out all the horrortastic weirdness that goes on at Matt Dinan's brainchild - the L.A. Frankenstein Youtube Channel!

If you're lucky enough to get old, think of all you've gained. First off, you're alive, which is better than the alternative 100% of the time. Secondly, you can use all of the wisdom and knowledge you've collected over a lifetime of experiences, and you can use it to find ways for you and others around you to be happy. In this already ridiculous year of 2026, we're working hard to stay positive, and music is almost always the key. Thankfully our good friend Dustin Prince feels the same way, and was more than up for helping us count down our favorite songs about that touchy but important subject. Picks 10-6 are revealed here in Top Ten Songs About Aging Part 1 of 2.

Now that we've seen it, we can confirm there are cool things to do and cool people to hang out with in the upside down part of the world. For example, if one were to jump on an airplane and fly 15 hours from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia and spend a week hanging out with Love That Album and See Hear podcast host/producer Maurice Bursztynski and his lovely family, one would come away with a memorable experience they won't soon forget. We're here to share a small part of that experience in the form of our latest pod - Top Ten Essential Power Pop Bands Volume 2, in which Maurice helped us count down another batch of amazing bands that are steeped in that hook-laden, heart-on-sleeve power pop tradition, with more all-time legends and a couple of hidden gems we think everyone should know about. Picks 5-1 are featured here in Part 2. Power Pop Forever!

Just one year ago, ATTT finally dipped our toes in the warm inviting waters of Power Pop. We knew right away that there had to be a Volume 2, and quickly. Well we're as good as our word, and right on time. Presenting Top Ten Essential Power Pop Bands Volume 2 - another batch of decade-spanning jangle-tastic rock groups to tug on your heart strings with their own personal brand of catchy, hook-filled songs. This pod was taped last October in sunny Melbourne, Australia at the home of our humble host and this episode's special guest, the mighty Maurice Bursztynski, who, as it turns out, actually exists in real life. Shannon Hurley joined us for color commentary as we got into some more power pop magic. Picks 10-6 are revealed here in Part 1.

Back in the before times, aka 2014, one of our favorite recurring guests got it in his head that ATTT needed to be paying attention to all the great new music being made by making an annual 'songs of the year' episode happen. Daskal also said that we needed to include the delightful Shannon Hurley and in the process the three of us will get to at least attempt to keep up with what's going on in music. 11 years later we're mighty glad we took that advice and now it has become the episode event of the year for us. We hope you all enjoy this playlist of current musical excellence. Picks 21-15 are revealed in Part 1 of 3 in our overloaded countdown of the best songs of the year.
