Mike & Dave Hit the Stage

These are the songs that remind you of summertime. For the New york guys, that means ice cream trucks, open fire hydrants (Johnny pumps), playing out in the street until the sun went down, and barbecues. we look at songs that remind us of the simpler time when all we wanted was to not go to school. Also, this notion extended well into our 30s trading school for work.

the 70 had emergence of Disco, punk, and yacht rock. a smooth sound for those who didn't want to be ramped up into a frenzy. Oddly enough this genre contains some of the most badass tracks, so much so that these songs have been sampled time after time. With our Guest Mike the angry wizard we look at some of the most stylized offerings in the genre. Hail Michael McDonald?

There are so many songs with a woman's name as the title that we had trouble making a short list. be prepared for a repeating segment on this podcast with the many girl name songs. 

Women's names song titles

There was no way to say it better. Rock and metal guys wear a lot of black, the music we listen to is dark. Why wouldn't the song titles have the word "black" in them. we picked just a few songs that feature the color in the title. there are so many more that it was hard to narrow down for this list.

It's Dave's birthday week!!! we are celebrating by checking out bands that changed their sound and stuck around. Some of these changes are so drastic, that you couldn't imagine them being the same band. we look at these shifts in style with an open mind and open ears. anything else you want to open is up to you.

This is our first time really delving into cinema. We take a look at scenes from movies that had the perfect song to match the action or moment. there's something amazing about how music can shape or even frame an entire scene.
