Speed-listener Chris Conaton joins us for the first time to talk about one of the weirdest songs on BOOK, If Day for Winnipeg. We go over the history of If Day during WWII, talk about relvant sonic comparisons from elementary music boomwhackers to gamalan music, and demonstrate what how a ring modulator plugin effect works.

Australian friend Belinda Van Helden is on the show to talk about the classic TMBG kid's song Four of Two. But is it a kids song? Find out about the song's life before the album No! and learn all about the location of famously-stopped clocks.

Lydia Sekscenski visits the show to talk about Icky off of Nanobots. Who's that Icky guy? We try to get to know him in our discussion of the lyrics, the intriguing chord progression, and an instrument rarely used throughout TMBG's canon. Greg contributes a cover that's... loud.

Garrett Secret joins us to talk about a tune deep in Glean's tracklist, Aaa. We get our hands dirty trying to make sense of the chord progression, talk percussion, and find a surprisning amount of covers.

Ariana Harris makes her debut on the show to talk about the Flood classic Whistling In The Dark. We discuss the disputed meaning of the title phrase, marching bass drums, and live recordings from all eras of the band.

I Lost Thursday was the first single released from BOOK, well ahead of the album. Patrick Crowling makes his first appearance on the show to talk about this funky pandemic-born track, and we get two custom covers, one from Patrick himself.

I Can't Remember the Dream was the third single released from BOOK and the first one to receive the music video treatment. Here to talk about it is the director himself, Alex Italics! He shares stories about every single TMBG video he's directed before we break down the song musically and lyrically, discuss the recent alternate version, and check out an awesome custom cover and a crazy mashup, both made by friends of the show.

It's our first BOOK episode! Chris Oliveira returns to the show to talk about a song deep in BOOK's tracklist, Part of You Wants to Believe Me. We try to parse just what's going on in the word, debate instrument tones, and listen to some awesome custom covers.

Bryce Hurst is here to talk about this Join Us deep cut. Learn about the complexities of this seemingly simple song, hear its Quiet Storm version and Bryce's rad cover.
