  • Oh, honey, let's ride!! We're celebrating Connor's birthday (DEFINITELY not forgetting it again!) with his newest pick: The Strike's 2022 album The Lost Years! We first discovered their single Overtime on our Singles Episode (#15) and now we're going All The Way with a dozen Painkillers that are anything but Nothing New. It's a feel-good, good-time alt-pop extravaganza, driven by its energetic instrumentals and unique saxophone solos! The Mixtaper's back with an inflated ego after his last bout with Connor and he's done the unthinkable... Will facts about bomb shelters, ambulances for snowmen, and bad bowling stump him? We also wrap up with a live-listen to their brand new single The Getaway! If you like desert drives, brass instruments, and custom combs... this is your episode!

  • Looking California and feeling Minnesota? Well you've come to the right place! James and Connor are breaking our Rusty Cage this week and exploring the Mind Riot of Soundgarden's 1991 album Badmotorfinger! We'll talk about the actual garden of sound that gave the band their name, the science of cryptozoology, and the black hole that almost had a very famous name. From Chris Cornell's legendary vocals to Kim Thayil's exceptional guitar solos, this album of experimental time signatures and guitar tunings (you instrumentalists will get it) helped secure the band's legacy as grunge legends and is sure to keep you on your toes. We're getting faster and weirder than ever before!!

  • Bonus Content! In Episode 142 we rocked down the highway with The Doobie Brothers and their Toulouse Street record, but James is convinced he could have done better. We're backtracking to Minute By Minute, the band's eighth album, featuring hits like What A Fool Believes and a handful of newbie Doobies that have changed the band's style and sound pretty drastically. Will the iconic vocals of Michael McDonald and instrumental complexity win Connor over, or was Toulouse Street the right choice after all?

  • Woah-oh, Listen To The Music! That's right, we're Rockin' Down The Highway with The Doobie Brothers and their breakthrough sophomore album Toulouse Street! We trace the band's Pud origins as a biker band and watch them grow into one of the foundational pillars of rock for more than a decade. We'll talk about a Beatle-beating record, the mysterious and unknowable origins of Doobie (Do-Bee?), and the explosive hobby that sent Skunk Baxter to Congress. Their tight vocal harmonies and country rock-inspired fingerpicking set this album apart.. Whether you're a Snake Man or Jesus Is Just Alright With You, there's a whole lot to love on this record. And Connor would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you kids and your.. ugh, you know.

  • ...---... You know what that means: Time to talk about SZA's expansive, Grammy-winning sophomore album SOS! In an ambitious, intentional attempt to blend all her influences and styles into one melting pot, this 23-track record incorporates rock, pop, R&B, hip-hop, and more into hits like Kill Bill, Shirt, Low, and Snooze (and Conceited)!! James & Connor talk about SZA's Olympic dreams, her doomsday bunny, and more. The Mixtaper stumbles upon the most truth-filled lie he's ever made up. Between the content and the various strong Spin Cycle tie-ins, how will we compare SOS to the Album Of The Year it lost out to in Midnights? Did SZA deserve the Grammy instead? All this and more will be answered in this episode!


    And if you can't get enough SZA or Spin It in your life, head over to our website and check out the B-Side Extended Episode! We'll share our thoughts on every single one of these 23 tracks, get a little deeper into streaming royalties and Album-Equivalent Units, and face off against the Mixtaper with two bonus facts about shelved ships and the wrath of Athena.

From the depths of heartbreak (and a lamplit cave), we'll explore everything from resilient teeth and homemade paper to lipomyelomeningocele. With captivating lyrics, provocative imagery, and the 249th-best guitar playing the world has ever seen, Snail Mail is coming out of her shell at her very best this week!

  • Meet me at midnight... for another Spin It Grammy Special! We've got plenty of award winners and performances to discuss. Find out how we were right and wrong about last week's predictions! And you best believe Taylor Swift is still Bejeweled... her latest record Midnights is the 2024 Album Of The Year! We'll talk about what she's been up to since we covered Red (it's a lot), break down her record-breaking Grammy wins, and dig into her surprise announcement of a new album, The Tortured Poets Department! Our resident Anti-Hero the Mixtaper is, of course, the Mastermind behind another round of Fact Or Spin, bestowing awards about elbows, corny husbands, and coveted convoluted handwriting. Can we push through the Lavender Haze and get to the bottom of this record, or will Karma track us down?

  • It's Groundhog Day! Back in Episode 45 Connor introduced us to George Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue, and described it as his "going mad montage" where he tried to catch a pesky gopher. So we decided today should be Gopher Day instead! We're celebrating by revisiting George and Ira Gershwin and some of the iconic music that made their careers the stuff of legends. From the banks of the Swanee to Porgy & Bess and every concerto, suite, and show tune in between, these brothers were international pioneers of America's musical pantheon. We cover their lives end to end (and then some) with 13 of their greatest works, learn about their secondary careers, experience gastric dysfunction, and discuss the differences between groundhogs and gophers. Time to reap what we've sown... It's a new kind of holiday special you'll go-pher time and time again!

  • Every Day We Have The Blues, and today we're getting to know the King-- B.B. King, that is! His 1965 concert album Live At The Regal has often been hailed as one of the best blues records of all time. How Blue Can You Get? James & Connor will find out as they discover Blues Boy King's exceptional tractor-driving skills (and tractor-wrecking skills), his iconic guitar(s) Lucille, and an explosive career that made him one of the most legendary names in music. We'll learn about the historic Regal Theater, the Eggwich, and the dangerous hobby he carried into his 70s. Find out if our second-ever live album lives up to the hype as our Sweet Little Angel or if We Done Lost Our Good Thing Now.

  • Sarah's off on a turnaround, but James and Connor are on to another album! This week we're spinning Daryl Hall & John Oates' 1973 sophomore album Abandoned Luncheonette! It's a perfect example of their blossoming signature sound, with a blend of tracks that might just end up being magical. We'll talk about the shootout origins of one of rock's most recognizable duos, the legal woes they just can't seem to stay away from, egregious luncheonette litter, and more. Join us as we get to the bottom of what "&" means, prepare for doomsday, and get our hands covered in gravy! Had we known this album better then, we might have been alright when the morning came!

  • Bonus Content! In Episode 130 we talked about Florence + The Machine's record How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful... but did we make the right choice? James went back and forth between that and their fourth record High As Hope. After the episode he made Connor go listen to it, and now we're comparing notes! We'll talk about the differences between each record, how their sound evolved over the few years in between, what we liked better, and ultimately answer the question we posed in the episode: was this the right choice, or do we have to Backtrack?

  • How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful! James and Connor are building a Ship To Wreck and talking about the smash-hit third record by Florence + The Machine. From emotional introspective rockers to soulful ballads, Florence Welch can sing it all (with her impressive 3-octave vocal range)! We'll talk about her favorite smells, turbulent travel, and throat-donor fans during Fact Or Spin, and Connor will have some VERY tough decisions to make. It's an album that's full of water-free water songs that have both peakish and valleyish tendencies. Can we get some intrachorus consistency from the Queen Of Peace, or will we be Caught in the Various Storms And Saints? Find out!
