We had to go out in style for the last show of 2023! 😎 For the second half of TNT's series on disco Thanh + Tim are talking about the 1977 album from the "Father of Disco" - a man who was one of the early progenitors of house and electronic dance music: Italian composer and producer Giorgio Moroder and his third solo album “From Here to Eternity.”

Break out yer bellbottoms and platforms folks - TNT is going disco! 🪩 Join Thanh + Tim as they dig into 1978's "C'est Chic" by disco-funk legends Chic. This show covers Chic's short - but hugely popular - apex, Nile Rodgers' second act, and touches on the late 70s backlash against disco. Make sure you eat your disco biscuits for this one.

This month on TNT, your hosts Thanh + Tim dive into the debut solo album from Japanese electronic maestro, composer, producer, artist, actor and activist Ryuichi Sakamoto, and his 1978 output “Thousand Knives.” This marks the second in our two-part series on artists that have recently passed, with Sakamoto sadly departing this world for the great beyond on March 28, 2023, at the age of 71.

Join us on TNT this month as we celebrate the extraordinary life of Ethiopian nun and master pianist Emahoy Tsegue Maryam Guebrou, who passed away on March 26, 2023, at the age of 99. An accomplished pianist and composer - not to mention philanthropist and speaker of 7 languages(!) - your hosts Thanh and Tim uncover her fascinating story and dig into her 2023 Mississippi Records release, "Jerusalem."

For July, TNT has gone back to the well of 1970 to focus on someone who MLK famously called the “Queen of American Folk music,” and someone who influenced a generation of folk and pop musicians in her time - we’re talking about the album “Odetta Sings” by Odetta. Her cover of Randy Newman's "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" is worth the price of admission alone 😎

For May 2023, TNT dives into a classic in the world of folk, country and rock: Neil Young’s third solo album, 1970’s “After the Gold Rush.” We’re joined by a very special guest - musician, avid record collector, Neil enthusiast, and friend of the show Denis Candy. Join us as we three learn about the genesis of the album, how it was originally viewed when it came out, and of course Neil's steadfast politics.

It's April 2023 and TNT is yet again diving deep into another international jammer, 2021's "Comfort to Me" by Amyl & the Sniffers. Turn this one up loud and get moving - these Aussies aren't messing around and neither is this album. Tim and Thanh dig into the band's meteoric rise, the growth demonstrated on this album by the band and play a little trivia along the way. See you in the pit!

On the show this month, the boys at TNT attempt to take on the absolute ripper of an album from Japanese punk band Otoboke Beaver, 2022's "Super Champon." If you need any further convincing to dive into this one with us, take it from Dave Grohl, who said of the band, "It’ll blow your mind, dude. It’s the most fucking intense shit you’ve ever seen."

Originally recorded on February 22, 2023, this live episode is TNT's second installment for Season 4 and wraps up our deep dive into the mash-up album. This month, Thanh and Tim tackle 2004's "The Grey Album" by Danger Mouse. Famously legally ambiguous at best and flat out illegal at worst, this project is the combination of the acapella raps from Jay Z's 2003 "The Black Album" mixed with the deconstructed samples from The Beatles' 1968 eponymous album AKA "The White Album." Don't worry - Hova and Paul McCartney were cool with it!

This episode officially kicks off season 4 of TNT! We’re mixing it up in 2023 by starting off the year with a two-part series focusing on the mash-up album, and up first is the 2008 party-starter “Feed the Animals” by Girl Talk. Originally recorded on January 29, 2023, Thanh and Tim dig into the frenetic madness (genius?) of Gregg Gillis aka Girl Talk, the genre and history of mashups, the legal issues of using over 300 pop-music samples to create an album, and much more. Play your part!
