This week's Mixtape Rewind takes us back to season 2 when Matt and Sam put together a mix centered around songs that ask questions. 

We kick off with The Who asking the most direct opener imaginable, then slide into Third Eye Blind heartbreak, Snoop Dogg identity, and a newer Snoop cut that feels like confidence distilled. Along the way we hit War’s endlessly singable “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” A Tribe Called Quest proving some songs never age, and Joe Jackson’s sharp little spiral of “Is She Really Going Out With Him.” The questions get bigger and weirder from there, with Pixies capturing that drifting, upside-down feeling that somehow still fits modern life.

The back half turns reflective without losing the fun. We talk about how arrangement can change meaning in “What’s So Funny ’Bout Peace, Love, And Understanding,” why “What’s My Age Again” lands harder the older you get, and how the Bee Gees remind everyone they’re more than disco. We close with Michael Jackson’s “Will You Be There,” plus a heavy dose of 90s soundtrack nostalgia and the memories that come packaged with the music.
