May 31, 2021 Recap 7: Mare of Easttown - Episode 7 - Sacrament
Here we are at the end. My theory proved correct!! Almost everything is wrapped up but somehow it is all still a bit underwhelming. Nonetheless, everyone continues to give great performances. Plus we talk about what is to come in our next recaps.
Music:
We Belong - Pat Benetar
Recommendations:
State of the Union (Sundance/AMC)

May 29, 2021 Episode 11: You Don’t Know... Covers?
I love a good cover. It makes you think about a song in a completely different light and oftentimes connects the dots across artists from different genres and generations. There is a surprising amount of Al Green, here. We also find Nirvana covering psychedelic rock, multiple Beatles covers and dig into the long legacy of Louie Louie. Don't look at the list of songs below, yet, try to play along. Enjoy.

Hmmm, that whole Ross family has issues. It looks like the show has laid out its cards, but has it? We don’t have to wait much longer to find out. I have a theory and Sona actually likes it. One episode to go...

Ian and I go beyond Purple Rain and talk about Around the World In a Day (one of my least regarded turns out to be one of his favorites) but we agree on the brilliance of Parade and (especially) Sign O' the Times. Show notes below. There are so many songs I am certain I missed many...

May 10, 2021 Recap 4: Mare of Easttown - Episode 4 - Poor Sisyphus
The even numbered episodes are the good ones (just like the Star Trek films). Sona and I both like this one. A whole lot of stuff happens. There is indeed some evildoer around abducting girls. And somehow this episode is still pretty funny.
Music:
Who You Are - Mannequin P*ssy

May 06, 2021 Episode 8: You Don’t Know... Prince (no really, you don’t)?
email:[email protected]...
Just past the fifth anniversary of the untimely death of the still prolific and revolutionary Prince, I reconvene with Iain to dig into his history. We make lists of our favorite songs (minus all the hits, to make it interesting) and work through his career in order. This is a longer than usual episode (and there is a lot more to come) but it is worth it. Keep checking below for the full song list (I am still compiling it).

Songs:
I Wanna Be Your Lover
When Doves Cry
Bambi
Uptown
When You Were Mine (Cindy Lauper... Prince)
Controversy
1999
Little Red Corvette
Erotic City
The Beautiful Ones
Darling Nikki
Let's Go Crazy

May 04, 2021 Recap 3: Mare of Easttown - Episode 3 - Enter Number Two
Email me: [email protected]
Enter number Two? Episode two was actually good. This one is a bit of a mess. We do learn lots of new stuff. Sona and I have many notes. Mare proves herself a good detective (but a morally questionable one).
