Rhapsody In Reverie

(Warning: Explicit Content Ahead) They may be a couple of weeks late, but Adrienne and Katarina are back in time to celebrate the end of Cuffing Season! That’s right, Valentine’s Day is over and so is keeping our love songs playlist on repeat. Now it’s time to talk about Anything But Romance, whether you’re feeling mad, feeling blue, or just...in the mood...we have a tune for you! Laughs aplenty are to be had. Dive in, and share your favorite breakup song/bedroom jam/you-do-you tune with us!

Hey there listeners! Season 2 is over, but we went to PodCon last weekend and recorded a very special Bonus Episode live from the LiveU Recording Studio at PodCon 2! Listen to us talk about PodCon and our favorite songs and live performances from 2018. You can also head to our YouTube Channel to watch us podcast it up in person and hold you over until we come back for season 3! Huge thank you to Ben Ratner and LiveU for recording us!

Snow is snowing, hot cocoa’s on the fire, and the trees are trimmed: it’s Christmastime! Adrienne and Katarina celebrate the end of season 2 with an episode all about the best kind of music, namely Christmas music. Snuggle up to this cozy episode as our hosts talk about the wonders of starting the Christmas season with the right music, singing cowboys, Mariah Carey’s modern classic, Eartha Kitt's strangely sexual ‘Santa Baby,’ and more. So get your family together, set the cookies out for Santa, and grab some pie, because our hosts are ending the season with a bang!

And from our family to yours, have a very merry Christmas!

We’re almost finished with season 2, and we’re bringing out the big guns! Adrienne and Katarina dissect the discography of Hozier, in an episode that starts off as a promising walk into the marsh. Will Katarina stop gushing about the intertextuality of Hozier’s music? Will Adrienne finally understand what “It Will Come Back” actually means? Will our hosts be able to pinpoint what exactly makes the music of Hozier so terrifyingly beautiful? Only time will tell!

In the antepenultimate episode of the season, Adrienne and Katarina dissect the California band The Neighbourhood and their incredible albums such as I Love You, Wiped Out!, and Hard to Imagine The Neighbourhood Ever Changing - the perfect way to celebrate that sweet, sweet sweater weather. Join them as they talk about existential ennui, their use of ‘weaponized ambiance,’ and possibly...witchcraft. Anything is possible this week, as Rhapsody in Reverie shows that there really isn’t any band that can compare to The Neighbourhood!

Happy Thanksgiving, Rhapsody Fam! This week we’re thankful for the music of Andrew McMahon. Adrienne and Katarina discuss how full of life his work is, no matter what project he’s currently operating under - whether it's Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, or Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, and how amazing it is when an artist can take emotions you didn’t even know you possessed and bring them to the surface. Join them as they talk about his latest record Upside Down Flowers, the beauty of art, life, and the work of a truly inspirational musician this week. (That is, if the turkey hasn’t put you into a food coma yet).

It’s time to get spooky! Adrienne and Katarina don their best Halloween costumes and spooky voices for their Halloween music-themed episode. What’s that? Halloween music isn’t a thing? Of course it is! Our hosts break down what qualifies as Halloween music, what songs make their parties the spookiest in town, and some Up & Comers they’re just dying to share with you! And don’t worry: they’ve included their phantasmic party playlist so you too can be the ghostest with the mostest.

This week our dynamic duo takes on the incomparable emo titan, My Chemical Romance. Though they disbanded in 2013, the musical group left a lasting impact on millions of teens through their hit songs such as “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” and “Teenagers”. So come learn why this band is perhaps the most notable of the emo trinity, how Adrienne and Katarina first fell for them, and why this band deserves its own solo show during our Punktober celebration. Welcome to the Black Parade, folks.

Part 2 of our take on Emo/Scene music is finally here in celebration of Punktober! Adrienne and Katarina take on the genre at full force, dissecting the hits of the early 00s from artists like Taking Back Sunday and Paramore that shaped a generation. They laugh, they sigh, they struggle to set clear definitions for what emo music truly is. Do they succeed? Do they care? Probably not. They aren’t professionals.

In the first part of a very special 2-part episode, Adrienne and Katarina kick off Punktober by diving into their favorite Scene and Emo hits from artists like Hellogoodbye, The All-American Rejects, and Cobra Starship, while simultaneously reliving what is arguably the most embarrassing and confusing time of our lives: the teen years. You’re sad, you’re mad, you’re sexually frustrated, and only thing that “gets” you is the music blasting through your speakers. So come laugh, come jam, come relive the highs and lows of the early 00s scene, and discover what Emo means to you.
