This Particular Album is Very, Very Important to Me episodes

August 27, 2019 Janet Jackson’s The Velvet Rope with Kulap Vilaysack
Kulap Vilaysack sits down with Deborah and Joel and shares her love for Janet Jackson’s The Velvet Rope. She explains how she escaped walkable Eagan, wound up in very un-walkable downtown LA and later found herself making out with her (yellow-tinted sunglasses sporting) future husband in his very drivable Camry (We don’t take any money from Toyota...but we will). We discover a brand new hilarious take on a very very important moment in Deb’s history we’ve discussed before. Sorry Deborah’s mom! Learn how nine-year-old Joel stunned his parents with his album pics when the whole Spence family decided to do that Columbia records eleven records for one penny thing. We discuss the joy of making playlists and current concert going strategy when one is in the...”current situation we’re all in.” Tune it to find out what that is! This Particular Song: “Firestarter” by the Prodigy and “Nightshift” by Lucy Dacus. Subscribe, Listen, Enjoy, Rate and Review please!

August 20, 2019 Devo’s Freedom Of Choice with Al Yankovic
Season Two starts with the great Al Yankovic (weird ex-college DJ) sharing his love of Devo’s third studio album, Freedom of Choice. **Almost coincidence alert** Deborah almost went to the same college as Al but when visiting the campus got turned off when she saw other students wearing...shoes? Too fancy for our Deborah! Joel shares yet another memory about learning about love from Air Supply and that isn’t even the most embarrassing thing he admits in this episode. That nice girl caught him doing what? Tune to find out! Also, what does one do when one finds out the drummer of one of one’s favorite bands is now an electrician? Al asks him to make a bid on work on his house, naturally. Guys, we know “Hey Jealousy” came out in the early to mid 90s and not the late 90s. Get off our back. Also, sorry for being so defensive about this. For reals, Al Yankovic is a national treasure and Deborah and Joel feel fortunate they were able to spend time with him.

September 25, 2018 Radiohead’s OK Computer with Ty Burrell
Ty takes Joel and Deb through the year - the year when apparently all music was made - when he was overwhelmed, broken-hearted, let down and hangin’ around. Radiohead’s 1997 album got him through a tough, life-changing year. Deb likes Radiohead but is happy to give his ticket to Joel. There’s a moment on the album where for Joel it feels like his best friend (which just happens to be a robot) is hugging him and telling him everything’s going to be OK.

September 11, 2018 The B-52's Wild Planet with Drew Droege

September 04, 2018 Ted Leo and the Pharmacists' Hearts Of Oaks with Alex Fernie
Alex Fernie shares his love for Ted Leo and the Pharmacists' and their thrilling 2003 album. We explore all that makes Ted Leo so great and still leave stuff out. We go back to that time when things were emerging from great national tragedy and relive our hopes and great optimism for change that ran flat into…..“damn.”

August 28, 2018 Alison Krauss’ Forget About It with Lennon Parham
Lennon shares her experience teaching high school French in the deep south for two years….in her early 20s The hardest thing she had ever done and a time to do some “real growing up.” She wouldn’t have gotten through it were in not for karaoke night, community theatre, the catfish served at the school (catfish that non-students would line up at the school to eat) and of course, those kids she taught. Also helping her, the mournful songs on Krauss’ 1999 album.

August 21, 2018 Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill with Janie Haddad Tompkins
Joel and Deborah feel all the feelings with Janie Haddad Tompkins as we discuss both their particular songs and then this explosive 1995 album. We hit the jackpot here with brilliant and cathartic singers. We talk about those angels that appear in our lives when they’re most needed. We talk about how heroic Alanis’ music is and how her lyrics are, in some cases unfortunately, STILL timeless. We’re full of gratitude for these artists and what they’ve gifted us. Lots of chills in this one.

August 14, 2018 The Dead Kennedys’ Plastic Surgery Disasters with John Ross Bowie
Joel and Deborah still struggle with pleasantries but then dart off in two different directions with their songs that are important to them. Deborah’s beautiful choice can make her cry and we get it. Joel’s song can make him cringe and we get it...but...oh, what the hell..it’s a foot tapper! Love whatever song you want! Be an individual. What’s more punk than that!?!
