Turn It Down episodes

  • Emily Montes - Emily Montes (full album)
    Emily Montes is five years old. She likes playing Roblox and going outside, and judging by the tone of this 5 minute long 14 track album, she's kind of having a hard time these days.

  • 10. Elon “EDM” Musk - Don’t Doubt Ur Vibe
    In this episode, Joe and Steve come crawling back to the pod to beg Emo G Records founder and ruling-class clown Elon Musk for $1000 (certainly chump change to a guy like him). Is this what happens to you when you smoke weed with Joe Rogan? Who will be the first pop star on Mars?

  • 9. Incubus (feat. Big Pun) - Still Not A Player

    It hurts us as much to type "Incubus (feat. Big Pun)" as it probably hurts you to read it. In this one, Joe and Steve examine a definitely ill-advised and possibly unethical cover of Still Not A Player by Incubus, the band you like before you know any better.

  • 8. Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do

    In this one, Joe and Steve dive into the maze of linked-in-article tabloid listicles that comprise the social media based literary component of the three minute and thirty-two second Gesamtkunstwerk that is Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do. We also discuss the potential for the development of user-data based, algorithmically generated music in the post-Internet era of capitalist pop music. Maybe can we call it Algopop (copyright Turn It Down, 2019 - we're litigious). O brave new world that has such people in it!

  • Mike Posner - I Took a Pill in Ibiza
    Is it an existential crisis or a boring song? In this episode, Steve guides Joe on an illuminating journey into the expanding consciousness of dorm-room pop singer/producer turned poet and podcast philosopher Mike Posner through a thorough critical exegesis of his 2015 song 'I Took A Pill in Ibiza' to celebrate the start of his highly publicized walk around the entire United States (no, really). Mike, we hope the walk is going well and we're really sorry we thought your music was bad.

  • 6. Greta Van Fleet - Highway Tune (with Ruby Lucinda)
    Boys will be boys? In this episode, Joe, Steve, and special guest Ruby Lucinda listen to a song called “Highway Tune” to try to figure out how a gaggle of ignorant, privileged phonies known as Greta Van Fleet won the 2019 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album by playing Led Zeppelin covers to impress their dads.

  • Train - Hey Soul Sister
    We're back with a trip down memory lane to 2009, a simpler time, when stomps, claps, "whoas", and inauthentic ukuleles dominated the airwaves. Let Joe and Steve be your conductors as we hop aboard the runaway train that is Train's "Hey, Soul Sister".
    1 hr 1 min
  • Owl City - Fireflies
    Is there an entomologist in the house? In this episode, Steve and Joe debate the merits of unadulterated wholesomeness and try to grasp the advanced mathematical concepts presented in Owl City's Fireflies.

  • Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime (Holiday Spectacular Pt. 2)
    In this second and final part of our first annual Holiday Spectacular, Steve and Joe peer into the bongwater-filled snowglobe of Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime".
