This Might Be A Podcast

*Listen to the pre-episode introduction for a special "get well soon" message from the TMBP listeners.*

OG fan Stanley Allen makes his first appearance on the show to remind Greg of the greatness of Rowboat Mayor, another My Murdered Remains track. They discuss music of all types that informed their fandoms of TMBG and ponder young Flansburgh's own fandoms of punk and post punk bands that could have steered the rowboat of his tastes, even so much later on in life  when writing a song like this. We also hear two great custom covers, now also featured on the Covers by Order compilation to benefit the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Go to our bandcamp to purchase and donate.

Brit Nick Jackson finally makes his first appearance to talk about a tune far, far down on John Henry's tracklisting, "Out of Jail." We talk at length about how this song deserves more love, why the demo rules, why it should be played more live, and demonstrate the massive amounts of fan love for this song by rounding up a bunch of sweet covers, including Nick's own cover, which Greg jumped in on for drums.

Iowan Rachel Jones makes her first appearance on the show to talk about the weird little old TMBG rarity "Birds Fly". We dig around to try and figure out the true age of this song, unearth the one and only live performance of the song, and get two custom covers including Rachel's own cover from the Purple Toupee comp!

This episode (and the next 5) is edited and mixed by the amazing Avren Keating of the Waves Breaking podcast, because I'm in Spain! 

Joel Yalowitz, known around TMBG cover communities as Guest/Host, is here to talk about the More Murdered Remains tune Prepare. We talk about the tragedy that song got booted from Nanobots, dissect what makes it so cool, and listen to a few awesome covers, one by Joel himself.

Meredith Pryce makes her debut on the show to talk about this beloved early b-side. We talk about the 80's children's book and how John Linnell is lying that he never heard of it, we talk about what makes this song the best b-side in their entire career and we find a million great covers in a million styles.

Adam Goren aka Atom & His Package returns to the show to talk about the song we covered for the Purple Toupee compilation, "Alphabet of Nations" from Here Come the ABCs. We have a ball talking geography, teaching, this rad song obviously, and also learn about his awesome new band Dead Best.

New friend Lydia Snow makes her first appearance to talk about her young journalism career and communicating with TMBG management leading to writing an excellent BOOK review, then we get to the song to break it all down, and hear the only cover yet in existence. 

Greg Behan appears on the show after long last to talk about the Lincoln banger "Where Your Eyes Don't Go." Fellow Gregs always deliver, and boy howdy do we get into it with this classic, breaking down every element of its greatness, playing tons of great live clips spanning decades, and curating the best covers out there... plus a cover from each Greg!

Old friend of the show Dana Williamson returns to the show to talk BOOK and specifically the bangin' opener Synopsis for Latecomers. We get into the weeds with music theory elements of the songs so you all know the genius of JL, and try to decode the frightening scenario of the lyrics. We also play a couple of custom covers from the crew for you all to enjoy.

Join me, poet and podcaster Avren Keating and photographers Eve Gasse and Ian Hutchings to discuss Brian Karlsson's photography and Paul Sahre's typography in the book of BOOK.
