Sports!

Whether you’re being taken out to the ball game or pumping up the jam… or maybe even being wowed by the Skate Circle DJs in Central Park… you can’t deny that sports and music go hand in hand. And this week, we’re revisiting the World Cup music of today and yesteryear and doing a deep dive into the sweet sounds of roller rink tunes to get our blood pumping and give our ears a workout!

Futuristic

The future is now, or maybe a second from now. THE FUTURE is also a vibe, and we’ve got music to match it or maybe set the stage for it. No transhumanistic fantasies here, just some transcendent tunes to cope with the downfall of humanity perpetrated by tech billionaires.

Unexpected Jams

Have you ever been on hold and all of a sudden you find yourself dancing to the sweet, sweet hold music? Or maybe a friend sends you a song saying, “Hey, I think you might like this!” And even though you don’t think you will… you do? Well, welcome to the unexpected jams episode! We’re going to dive into some weird places where the music is unexpected and yet still hits.

Pity Party!

What started as another theme turned into a real life pity party when Christine and Christina recorded in person for the first time EVER. And we had a rich conversation about one of music’s most self-pitying artists—Harry Nilsson. We hope you join our pity party this week!

Cover in Another Language

Ever hear a song and say, “Yeah, this is nice. But what would it sound like in French/Spanish/Greek/Swahili/Urdu?” Well, then, friends, you’re in the right place. This week we take songs that are already good in English and some how get even better in a foreign language. And the best news? No one picked “Yesterday”!

Pride!

Happy Pride Month! Queer and LGBTQ music is incredible for ALL audiences, every day of the year (not just Pride month, of course!). This week we share some under the radar gay anthems and celebrate the queer musicians who made them.

Shorties

Shortest songs don’t always yield the shortest episodes, but they do pack a punch! And while this isn’t technically our shortest episode, it packs a punch with zero hint of a Napoleon complex.

Grunge

The Seattle sound. Flannel shirts. Rejecting conformity. Embracing dirty hair. What is “grunge”? Join us this week as we dive into a couple of grunge songs (and make some interesting connections to musical influence on the grunge scene).

Next Chapter

You ever feel like skipping ahead to see what’s in store in the next chapter? It’s understandable, but it’s probably best to let your next chapter unfold naturally. That’s what we’re doing this week–embracing the next chapter and the music we listen to as we mentally settle into a new path.

Singalong Showtunes

Memorable melodies. A theatrical flair. A note only a Broadway star could hold. It’s showtime, baby! This week we’re puttin’ on the ritz and singing along to our favorite showtunes. Join us in the chorus line, won’t you?
