57 min - “Stick ‘Em Up” by Quarashi (f/ Dave Losso)
If you’re traveling back in time to the early 2000s to compete in the X Games, can I suggest an Icelandic rap-rock group to serve as the soundtrack for your halfpipe drop in? Yes, I’m speaking of Quarashi, a band that was one part Beastie Boys, one part Rage Against The Machine, and all EA Sports video game menu music. This week’s guest, comedian Dave Losso, wanted to discuss their closest thing to a hit: the upbeat “Stick ‘Em Up,” a song that will probably make you say, “oh yeah…I THINK I know this!” Should Quarashi have had more hits? Did they even HAVE a hit? What exactly is going on here? Tune in to find out!

58 min - “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!)” by Blu Cantrell
In the Summer of 2001, Blu Cantrell looked poised to become the next household name in mainstream R&B. Her debut single “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!)” was topping charts and earning her Grammy nominations, and industry titans such as L.A. Reid and Dallas Austin were singing her praises and putting their talents to work to further her career. When she released her sophomore album in 2003, she achieved some international success, but things seemed to stall out back in the States. Within a year or so, Blu’s music career seemed to have abruptly ended, fueling speculation of all sorts. Was her departure from the limelight just another age old story of bad timing and record label shenanigans, or was something MUCH more scandalous at play? This week, we explore Blu Cantrell’s life and career to try to find out if she was one of SOMEBODY’S 99 problems.

9 min - “Bulletproof” by La Roux (f/ Joshua Napier)
In the summer of 2009, La Roux released “Bulletproof,” an irresistible pop gem that combined a synth-heavy 80s sound with an instantly memorable chorus. The English duo’s androgynous vocalist Elly Jackson also provided a visual aesthetic that stood out from the crowd, and the single could be heard everywhere from dance clubs to public pools. With a hit song and soon a Grammy in hand, La Roux seemed on track for a long and prolific career…so why does this episode of One Hit Thunder exist? This week, we’re joined by Joshua Napier who has INDEED been there, done that, messed around with the music of La Roux for over a decade, but why didn’t the rest of their catalog sweep the world off its feet? Tune in to find out.

About One Hit Thunder
From the publisher's feed
Yes, One Hit Thunder in a long-running podcast about one hit wonders, and yes, it’s hosted by Chris Fafalios of the band Punchline and Matt Kelly of the Geekscape Network, but don’t let THAT be…
what convinces you to listen and subscribe. Instead, read the words of this 1 star review left by Royalsfan83 with the subject line “Garbage”: Yet another music podcast by insipid, try-hard millennials who amaze themselves at how edgy they are. You can get this content from countless other shows minus the delusional leftist rants. Hard pass.
