This Might Be A Podcast

On an epic episode, Greg calls NYC to talk to Jon Uleis, Peter Gritsch, Abi Bash, Mike Buffington and Dave Idmarx, who all went to the Pawling and Bowery Ballroom shows that kicked off the 30th anniversary Flood tour last weekend. We talk at great length about all the cool stuff they did at these shows, and include a lot of sound clips from the shows recorded by Peter and Mike. Enjoy!!

On only our second Glean song episode, Greg and radio host Michael Neimeyer discuss Answer. They go long with analysis of not only the song, but debate the transistion from classic Giants to modern Giants, their favorite modern albums, and Greg debuts his own wacky cover of Answer.

Holy cow, I'm excited to share this one with you! Adam Goren aka Atom and His Package was a solo synth punk legend from Philly who toured the world from the mid 90s to the early aughts, and he has returned to the show (he appeared in the See The Constellation episode last spring) to talk about John Linnell's State Songs tracks 4-6, South Carolina, Idaho and Montana. This one came out so great. Enjoy!!

TMBG bassist extrondinaire Danny Weinkauf returns to the show to talk about the newest Red Pants Band single, Superstar. We look into the career of the Danny's friend, former bandmate and song guest vocalist Britta Phillips, including her young role as the singing voice of the 80s cartoon Jem. Greg and Danny also discuss the upcoming Flood tour and TMBG's recording plans for the upcoming record!

Musician Jon Cunningham, known by his stage name Corn Mo, talks with Greg about the TMBG song that he sings lead vocals on, No Cops, from the 2015 Dial-a-Song cycle and later appearing on My Murdered Remains. Corn Mo gives insider info on the song recording and video shoot, and we also give a primer to those uninitiated in his eclectic musical career.

Tracy Stephen, co-host of the BarenakedABCs podcast, comes on the show for our first episode on a Here Comes Science song, Meet The Elements. Greg appeared on his show last spring to talk about the Barenaked Ladies song Daydreamin, and now he returns the favor as the two talk about how this TMBG song is both educational and awesome.

Spencer Parks returns to the show to talk about The Darlings of Lumberland off of Nanobots. As two band nerds, Greg and Spencer dissect the complicated and amazing horn arrangement at length and talk about Flansburgh's especially cryptic lyrics.

On this special episode, Greg is joined by three violinists, Dana Williamson, Cari Hearn and Lisa She to discuss the use of orchestral string instruments in TMBG songs. Songs discussed include XTC Vs. Adam Ant, Kiss Me Son of God, Dig My Grave, Exquisite Dead Guy and more.

Greg talks with Lou Reid from Edmonton, Ontario about the song Careful What You Pack off of The Else. She uses her knowledge of Coraline to try and help them get to the bottom of why this song was left out of the movie and what happened to the rest of those songs.
