November 27, 2018 THE HITS OF 2008 w/ Nikki Glaser
Nikki Glaser: is she human or is she dancer? On this week's episode, we'll attempt to answer Brandon Flowers' grammatically incorrect question as we revisit the hits of 2008. Why 2K8? Bust out the corkboard and red string and maybe you'll figure it out.

November 15, 2018 BOB'S MIX CD - The One That Worked ('04)
In 2004 Bob made a Mix and mailed it to an old friend he had a massive crush on (no, not Dan). A couple of weeks later they reconnected in person and, well, you read the title. Jason Zumwalt joins Dan and Bob in the garage to help over-analyze the 12 songs Bob assembled to woo a girl in Maryland back when guys sent mixes instead of dick pics. It's totally awkward and undeniably cringe-y... and this is the one that worked.

November 02, 2018 DAVE MATTHEWS BAND - Under the Table and Dreaming w/ Jason Zumwalt
Considering this is and always has been a Dave Matthews Band Podcast (despite the fact neither host is a fan of Dave, or listens to Dave, or calls him "Dave") it was just a matter of time before "Under The Table And Dreaming" got its due. Friend and legitimate Matthews-stan, Jason Zumwalt, joins Bob and Dan in the garage for a Dave-athon of epic proportions. WARNING: if you have an aversion to overused bad Dave Matthews impressions you MIGHT want to skip this one.

October 25, 2018 SEMISONIC - Feeling Strangely Fine
Here it is. You've found it. The only podcast on the planet dedicated to Semisonic's debut 1998 album Feeling Strangely Fine. So why are we hitting this overwhelmingly forgotten offering from a 90's one-hit-wonder? Well, because Dan Wilson is GREAT and Dan Hanzus made this his dealer's choice (er, selection.) Animal crackers not included.

October 18, 2018 AEROSMITH - Get A Grip
On April 20th 1993, America's Creepy Uncle and his friends unleashed a radio-friendly long-player that would go on to sell over 20 million copies AND awaken young Dan's sexuality in ways he never could've imagined. On this episode, Bob, Dan, and a cricket try to get a grip on how a 70's rock band reinvented themselves in the 90's and managed to turn Alicia Silverstone into a superstar along the way. It's amazing.

October 04, 2018 BLUR - Parklife
Our Britpop Patreon Poll wasn't even close: Parklife destroyed the competition. Travis, Pulp, and Supergrass couldn't hold a candle to this classic LP from the U.K. But how will it play in a garage occupied by two unabashed Oasis-stans? Mr. Gorrilaz and his merry band of posh Essex boys are about to find out.

September 22, 2018 SEPTEMBER '96 - Top 10 Countdown
Perhaps if Bob and Dan paid a little more attention to the advice Nada Surf was dispensing they would've been a little more popular and wouldn't have ended up counting down the Top 10 Alternative Rock Hits of 1996 in a rented garage. But that's where we're at. So stop standing outside that broken phonebooth with money in your hand and travel back to the era of Peak Alternative... before we sputter out.

September 13, 2018 KORN - Follow The Leader
Great journalism can bring down a President. It can also make two dudes in a garage listen to an entire Korn album for the very first time. "Cocaine, Speed, and Gallons of Jack Daniel's: The Last Rock 'n' Roll Superstars Were... Korn?" by Steven Hyden for The Ringer inspired Bob and Dan to put their distaste for nu-metal aside and check in on "Follow The Leader" 20 years after it first dropped. The results are... well, they're pretty much exactly what you expect. "GO!"

August 30, 2018 EMPIRE RECORDS - Soundtrack
In 1995 Liv Tyler, Renee Zellweger, Ethan Embry, and Rex Manning came together to make a comedy (comedy?) about a group of eccentric teens working at a record store. Naturally, this music-centric movie needed a killer soundtrack. Naturally, the Gin Blossoms, Better Than Ezra, and Toad The Wet Sprocket delivered. Our Patreonies voted (sorry, Clueless!) and the-little-movie-that-could, Empire Records, came out on top. Now why don't you all just fade away.

August 23, 2018 BLIND MELON - Blind Melon
It's Dealer's Choice Week (sponsored by [email protected] & the world-renowned Cliney), which is why Bob dug into his dusty old CD collection and pulled out Blind Melon's self-titled 1992 debut album. Will it hold up? Will Dan make fun of Bob for writing "Shannon Hoon 1967 - 1995" on his backpack in high school? And will Bob be forced to get a Blind Melon tattoo after a massive online outpouring? The answers may surprise you! (not really. it goes: nah, yes- a lot, and I guess we'll see.)
