Skip/Shuffle/Repeat episodes

  • White Zombie - Astro-Creep: 2000 (1995)

    Here's the deal, they can't all be bangers.  When diving into the cd collection of a teenager, you are gonna find some that you just don't really like any longer (or never did, in Tara's case).  Join us as we laugh our way through the fourth and final cd by White Zombie, the album very sillily titled "Astro-Creep: 2000 (Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head)". You're Welcome.

    Companion playlist of top songs and bonus tracks coming soon to Spotify.

    And if you can't get enough of the pod, join us on Patreon for more sass. Check it out here!

  • Sublime - Sublime (1996)

    We're in the mood, get ready. This episode we jump into Sublime's third and final album, Sublime, and reminisce about summer parties when everyone knew every word to every Sublime song playing on the radio.  Plus we learn what one of Tara's top 7 karaoke songs is!

  • Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Toward Ecstasy (1993)

    Today we're discussing Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Toward Ecstasy (1993) cause it turns out we really love that early '90s sound! And, we're tackling some very serious questions on this episode: Does everyone (not so) secretly love Sarah McLachlan? Is there a significant difference between sad-piano-girl music and sad-guitar-girl music? Is VH1-y an adjective?

  • Led Zeppelin - Untitled Fourth Album (1971)

    Melody and Tara explore one of the most popular, most sold records of all time; Led Zeppelin's oddly untitled fourth album that everyone just calls Led Zeppelin IV (or Runes possibly, if you wanna get weird about it).  Join us as we discuss fantasy lands and taking chances with time signatures.

    The companion playlist of top songs and bonus tracks is up now on Spotify.

  • Pixies - Doolittle (1989)

    The Pixies' second album, Doolittle, takes us back to the late 1980s for some "surrealist" surf rock. Tara and Melody attempt to reconcile how to love someone's music if they're a real-life jerk... the classic "love the art / hate the artist" conundrum. One thing's for sure: we love Kim Deal!   

    The companion playlist of top songs and bonus tracks is up now on Spotify.

    And if you can't get enough of the pod, join us on Patreon for bonus episodes, including a very special one about the Pixies documentary film (coming soon!). Check it out here!
