Dessa Asp makes their weekly show debut with an epic episode on the Pamphlet EP song, "Buckle Down, Winsocki." Many people might not realize this is a cover, and even fewer will know the history behind it. Dessa does the hard work in researching the song's journey through musicals and movies. In addition, despite this being such a deep cut we are graced with three amazing covers thanks to the Covers Crüe. 

Part 2 of our two-song episode with TMBG artist and video director David Cowles. On this episode we focus on "Rock Club",  another My Murder Remains track that David animated the video for. 

Artist and director David Cowles is here to talk about two songs he directed videos for, and here's part 1 - "The Summer Breeze" off of My Murdered Remains. 

The one, the only, MARTY BELLER of TMBG is here to talk about his song "Alphabet Lost and Found" from Here Come the ABCs. He explains the songwriting process for this song, how exciting it was to perform live as a frontman, and we learn all about his soundtrack career outside of the band. 

Part 2 of the epic conversation between former TMBG bassist Hal Cragin and myself about their cover of Cub's "New York City." 

Hal Cragin toured with TMBG on bass in 1997-1998 and played on some Factory Showroom tracks, and was the bassist for John Flansburgh's Mono Puff project. Listen as he tells us about his chance meetings with Flans and how he became the bassist in Mono Puff and TMBG. Then we delve into TMBG's cover of the Cub tune "New York City." Part 2 to come next week! 

Having appeared on a BOOK-themed Patreon episode years back, Ian Hutchings is finally appearing on his first regular weekly episode. We talked about the Book single "Moonbeam Rays", discussing which version of the tune is better - the album or music video version. I play audio of the song from the Covington, KY show I went to, we play four covers - three from the Covers Crüe - and find out Ian is moving to my town!

Joel Shaughnessy is here to talk about the TMBG & McSweeny's collaboration compilation track "R U Together." Chances are a lot of you are unfamiliar with this track and perhaps the project as a whole, but Joel will get you caught up, telling us about the album and the book that accompanies it. Is this song any good? Listen to find out, and hear two awesome covers, one by Homework Party aka Joel himself!

My BFF Steve Clark returns to the show after long last, to talk about the divisive TMBG Factory Showroom single, "S-E-X-X-Y." Let's discuss why this song doesn't deserve the hate it gets as we hear many remixes, live versions of different arrangements,  and fun covers. 

Matt Meyer makes his debut on the show to talk about the Apollo 18 classic "Hall of Heads." We talk at length about the interesting introduction and the oddly placed key change, and ponder why they've barely played this great song live.
