It's a WAYLT Crossover week as Jenn joined Matt Sidhom on the Super Awesome Mix podcast last week to trade picks that connect by title, lyric, and mood with the focus on the words 'may' or 'might'.
 
We start with the Bee Gees in their pre-disco glow, then jump to Led Zeppelin and the “May Queen” line that still feels like a life lesson about choices and changing course. From there, we test a common music debate: is “new country” actually bad, or did a certain pop-country era poison the well? Zach Bryan’s “Fifth of May” becomes the case study for modern country songwriting that feels specific, honest, and lived-in.
 
The ride keeps swerving in the best way. We talk Bruno Mars as a talent machine, Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska era grit, and the hidden story inside the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Slide” when you actually listen to the lyrics. Then it’s The Cars, They Might Be Giants, and Metallica in a sequence that proves a good mix can handle whiplash if the theme is strong. We even slow down for “It Might Be You” and a real question about Tootsie, comedy, and whether nuance survives modern pop culture.

2. Hollywood Waltz - Eagles

3. Shy away - 21 Pilots

4. A Million Miles Away - The Plimsouls

This week Jenn wanted to share her Desert Island Mix that she shared a few years ago on the Super Awesome Mix podcast.  Chances are, there may be some changes since then but no doubt these songs are still very meaningful to her.  

From 80s powerhouses to modern indie storytellers, Jenn maps the songs that shaped her life and the moments they still soundtrack.

We start in montage mode with John Waite’s Change and a spirited Vision Quest detour, then settle into anchor territory: the Eagles’ warm-road harmonies and Led Zeppelin’s tender Tangerine. Joy spikes with The Police’s Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, a steel-drum smile fit for any beach, while Taylor Swift’s Invisible String wraps pandemic-era time into something curious, mystical, and finally wondrous. Jenn’s love for storytelling shines through John Mayer’s Walt Grace’s Submarine Test, a cult-favorite narrative that sparks debate about reinvention, risk, and what it means to surface somewhere new.

Modern textures pull the set forward. Glass Animals’ Life Itself examines belonging with kinetic honesty, Iron & Wine’s Call It Dreaming offers lyrical grace for anyone carrying old loves, and Young the Giant’s Superposition turns physics into romance—finding beauty in overlap, uncertainty, and dual truths. We celebrate Annie Lennox’s vocal fire on Eurythmics’ Would I Lie to You and the candid power of sister-trio Haim on Forever. And to close, Jenn lands on Madonna’s Borderline, a timeless 80s gem that still blooms on every listen.
