They're Playing Our Song

This week we talk about Jump, Little Children's beautiful "Close Your Eyes".  Diana is surprised that, after so many years of marriage, we would have a different interpretation of the lyrics while I wonder why more songs don't remind us of old Bert and Ernie adventures.  Everyone agrees you need to go buy the album (or at the very least use your Amazon Prime subscription to download almost every song for free)...

Serenaded by a string quartet, my guest, Jackie MacDonald, and I take a trip across Pont Champlain while discussing Stars' "Your Ex-lover Is Dead". We talk metaphor, life-changing events, and our love of Canada. No podcasters were set on fire during this recording. Please very much enjoy!

It's a family affair this week as we discuss one of my personal Muppet favs, "Movin' Right Along".  Our discussion of this classic Muppets tune devolves into Yoda impressions as my middle son hijacks the podcast.  Baby squeaks throughout.  Still better than the first attempt at recording.

We delve into the 36 chambers with special guest Mark Brillon, ever after to be dubbed our hip-hop expert, to discuss "All That I Got Is You" by Ghostface Killah.  It's autobiographical from all angles as we learn about Ghostface's upbringing, Mark's brush with the man himself, and where I hide all my CDs.

I'm typing this one handed with a sleeping baby in my arms.  Yet our love of Michael Andrews and Gary Jules cover of "Mad World" can't be stopped by such trivialities.  Thus the podcast rolls on with special guests Diana Parry-Cruwys, Donnie Darko, Marcus Fenix, and a band of wandering thespians.

After waiting for two weeks for the thrilling conclusion of our Summer Song theme, without further ado, Episode 5, a.k.a., Talking About Summersong by The Decemberists. Please very much enjoy!

The theme: Summer songs.  The guest: Carolyn Beaumier with what I think is better audio than last week.  The song: "Somebody That I Used To Know" We actually recorded about two of our favorite summer songs; we had so much audio on the subject that I'll be breaking it into two separate parts so each song gets full attention from the audience. Please very much enjoy part one! If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Subscribe on Download Mp3

Special guest Carolyn Beaumier joins the show to talk about Otis Redding's posthumous hit "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay thus pulling us out of our 90's rut. Pardon for poorly balancing my microphone creating some tinny audio. Also sorry about the rain tapping on the air conditioning unit. And someone turned off our lights so we recorded in the dark. Good times! If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Subscribe on Download Mp3

Very exciting to talk about one of my personal favorite songs on this week's episode: seminal, alternative tune Tonight, Tonight. Special guest, Diana, joins in to what is otherwise a 15-minute gushing over this track.  Pardon the tinny audio...not sure how to improve that quite yet. Please very much enjoy!
