This week's Mixtape Rewind takes us back to season 2 when Matt and Sam put together a mix centered around songs that ask questions.
Who Are You? by The WhoHowâs It Going To Be? by Third Eye BlindWho Am I? by Snoop DoggWhat U Talkinâ Bout? by Snoop DoggWhy Canât We Be Friends? by WarCan I Kick It? by A Tribe Called QuestIs She Really Going Out With Him? by Joe JacksonWhere Is My Mind? by Pixies(Whatâs So Funny âBout) Peace Love and Understanding? by Elvis Costello & The AttractionsWhatâs My Age Again? by blink-182How Deep Is Your Love? by Bee GeesWill You Be There? by Michael Jackson
We kick off with The Who asking the most direct opener imaginable, then slide into Third Eye Blind heartbreak, Snoop Dogg identity, and a newer Snoop cut that feels like confidence distilled. Along the way we hit Warâs endlessly singable âWhy Canât We Be Friends,â A Tribe Called Quest proving some songs never age, and Joe Jacksonâs sharp little spiral of âIs She Really Going Out With Him.â The questions get bigger and weirder from there, with Pixies capturing that drifting, upside-down feeling that somehow still fits modern life.
The back half turns reflective without losing the fun. We talk about how arrangement can change meaning in âWhatâs So Funny âBout Peace, Love, And Understanding,â why âWhatâs My Age Againâ lands harder the older you get, and how the Bee Gees remind everyone theyâre more than disco. We close with Michael Jacksonâs âWill You Be There,â plus a heavy dose of 90s soundtrack nostalgia and the memories that come packaged with the music.

One word can send a playlist in a dozen directions. We set the rule to âMayâ and âmightâ and then let the songs do what great songs always do: open doors we didnât expect. Jenn Tully fills in for Sam and joins Matt to trade picks that connect by title, lyric, and mood, and we keep the curation human, leaning on memory and instinct instead of outsourcing taste.
First of May - Bee GeesStairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin Fifth of May - Zach Bryan I Just Might - Bruno MarsAtlantic City - Bruce SpringsteenSlide - The Goo Goo Dolls You Might Think - The Cars Birdhouse In Your Soul - They Might Be Giants Wherever I May Roam - Metallica It Might Be You - Stephen Bishop I May Be Used (But Baby I Aint Used Up) - Waylon Jennings May Ninth - Khruangbin
We start with the Bee Gees in their pre-disco glow, then jump to Led Zeppelin and the âMay Queenâ line that still feels like a life lesson about choices and changing course. From there, we test a common music debate: is ânew countryâ actually bad, or did a certain pop-country era poison the well? Zach Bryanâs âFifth of Mayâ 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 Springsteenâs Nebraska era grit, and the hidden story inside the Goo Goo Dollsâ âSlideâ when you actually listen to the lyrics. Then itâs 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 âIt Might Be Youâ and a real question about Tootsie, comedy, and whether nuance survives modern pop culture.

This week's Mixtape Rewind is an important one. We put together a âsongs you should definitely not play at a weddingâ mixtape a couple of years ago and we think it still works. We've got wildly overplayed crowd-pleasers, feel-good hits with breakup lyrics, and nostalgic bangers that get real weird the moment you listen closely.
We start with the classics that seem harmless until you have heard them at 30 receptions, then move into songs that DJs love because they are âsafeâ even though the message is anything but. We dig into why certain fan favorites land wrong for the bride and groom, how a catchy chorus can distract from uncomfortable verses, and why some tracks create instant vibe-killer confusion on the dance floor.It is a practical guide for couples, wedding planners, and DJs who want a packed dance floor without accidental cheating anthems, cringe singalongs, or âwhy is this playing right nowâ moments.
1. Brown-Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
2. Ho Hey - The Lumineers
3. Celebration - Kool and the Gang
4. Marry You - Bruno Mars
5. Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega
6. Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People
7. Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard
8. Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes

Matt and Sam are back with new music for the month of April!
Dance with Me - Bruno Mars Unraveling - MuseElevator - Fantastic Cat Everytime You Touch Me - Moby and BOOO!G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs - Jack WhiteSungazer - The Temper TrapThe WhatsApp Shakespeare - RAYECame Back Haunted - Nine Inch Nails & Boys NoiszStep - Snoop Dogg featuring Swizz BeatzFirst Light - Lana Del ReyAwake Tonight - AFROJACK, Sia & David GuettaFocu âRanni - Rosalia
We start in bright, timeless territory with Bruno Mars and a throwback pop approach that feels built for wedding dance floors, then slam the door into heavier energy with Muse leaning into hard rock and metal textures. From there, we dig into Fantastic Catâs sharp songwriting, where a simple hook hides surprisingly dark, observant lines about how we package history and tragedy. Moby shows up with a dance track thatâs louder than an old mall store and stickier than it first appears, and Jack White reminds us why great guitar tone and fearless rhythm still matter in modern rock.
A big takeaway comes from The Temper Trap: playlist sequencing changes your experience. Put a lower-energy track in the wrong spot and it can feel like a full brake, even when itâs a great song. We also geek out over Rayeâs musical-style album storytelling, the dark EDM chemistry of Boys Noize teaming with Nine Inch Nails, and Snoop Doggâs effortless âstrut mixâ confidence.
Then thereâs Lana Del Rey delivering a Bond-worthy theme for a new James Bond video game, plus an EDM closer from Afrojack, Sia, and David Guetta that feels like a momentum switch flipping on. We wrap with Rosalia and the reminder that translating lyrics can reveal a whole second song hiding inside the beat.Go to My.SuperAwesomeMix.com and start using our new app on any device - mobile or laptop.

Prepare to immerse yourself in the 1980s rock scene as we explore the electrifying world of Van Halen. Matt and Samer take you on a fascinating journey through the band's evolution, sharing personal insights and experiences that bring the music to life. Learn why the band's famous concert rider demanded no brown M&Ms and how this quirky detail ensured the safety of their elaborate stage setups.
As we reminisce about our favorite Van Halen tracks, you'll discover the stories behind unforgettable hits like "Beautiful Girls" and "Everybody Wants Some!!". Feel the energy of Eddie Van Halen's iconic guitar riffs and Alex Van Halen's masterful drumming that turned their live shows into legendary rock experiences. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to their sound, Samer's fresh perspective will make you appreciate the band's legacy in a whole new way.
Witness the dramatic shift in Van Halen's musical style as we discuss the transition from David Lee Roth to Sammy Hagar. We delve into the band's search for their new frontman, exploring their surprising approaches before landing on Hagar, and how this change influenced their sound from edgy rock anthems to synth-driven, relationship-focused tracks. We also examine the band's later years, including the impact of albums like "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" and "Balance," culminating in a tribute to Eddie Van Halen's lasting legacy in rock history.

Matt just turned 49, and instead of doing a normal birthday playlist, we turned it into a rule: only songs from the years he hit perfect-square ages. That one idea creates a timeline you can actually hear, jumping from 1978 to 1981 to 1986, then into 1993, 2002, and 2013, with two tracks per year and a lot of life packed in between.
We talk through why each pick makes the cut and what it carries with it. Kenny Rogersâ âThe Gamblerâ becomes a family story about risk, immigration, and gratitude. The Whoâs âWho Are Youâ turns into a birthday question that never stops being useful, while Rushâs âTom Sawyerâ and Journeyâs âDonât Stop Believinââ bring the pure classic rock adrenaline. Later, Paul Simon and Van Halen hit the sweet spot of memory and ambition, then Tony! Toni! Tone! and Prince add sharp lessons about money, attention, and the weirdly perfect connections you only notice looking backward.
The mix gets heavier and more honest too. We get into Bruce Springsteenâs âThe Risingâ and its 9/11-era weight, and Matt shares the personal story behind Eminemâs âWithout Meâ and how a song can show up at the exact moment you need it. We close with Macklemoreâs âCanât Hold Usâ tied to a daughterâs dance solo, and Fun.âs âCarry Onâ as a message for anyone in a long season of parenting, grief, or rebuilding.
https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/matt-2026-birthday-mix/pl.u-MzBDtNqbr81. The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
2. Who Are You? - The Who

This week's Mixtape Rewind takes us back to Season 1 when Instagram picked our summer soundtrack, and we just tried to keep up. We asked listeners to send their best summer songs, then built a real mixtape out of the chaos: 12 tracks that feel like heat haze, long evenings, and that first day when summer finally clicks into place. Along the way, we shout out the people who submitted picks and admit where we couldnât resist sneaking in a few of our own.
The fun part is how quickly âsummer musicâ stops being simple. We get nostalgic with LFOâs âSummer Girlsâ and the oddly unforgettable lyrics that still scream 1999, then jump to Sylvan Essoâs âRooftop Dancingâ and talk about why rooftops are basically the city version of a pool. Weezerâs âFeels Like Summerâ brings that bittersweet edge, and from there we keep pulling on the thread of sunny songs that hide something darker underneath.
Lordeâs âSolar Powerâ nails the new-release summer vibe, The Kinksâ âSunny Afternoonâ turns out to be way more cynical than it sounds, and Childish Gambinoâs âFeels Like Summerâ smuggles climate change anxiety into a laid-back groove. We round it out with true summer essentials like DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Princeâs âSummertime,â a pure-pop hit from Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen, a âConstructive Summerâ pep talk from The Hold Steady, and a cover-song detour with The Ataris and âKokomoâ before Poison closes the night with âNothing But A Good Time.â
One more tease: thereâs no Bruce Springsteen on the main mix, and yes, we noticed. Hit play, share this with a friend who hoards playlists, and leave a review if you want more listener-built mixes. Whatâs the one song you swear belongs on every summer playlist?You can find the mix here on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2xecia1iK9SH9fpDGGyElY?si=60cde1613e264ad0

Spring shows up and suddenly the release calendar explodes, so Matt and Sam do what we always do on Super Awesome Mix: sift through the chaos and hand you a March new music playlist thatâs actually worth your time.
We start with U2âs âYours Eternally,â a collaboration that pulls in Ed Sheeran and Ukrainian artist Taras Topolia and frames a protest minded moment with an unexpectedly hopeful finish. From there we jump into Death Cab for Cutieâs âRiptides,â a track that captures modern burnout in one chorus, then test the line between country and pop with Megan Moroney and Sheeran. The mix keeps pivoting: Charlotte Sands brings a hard rock jolt, King Tuff turns time into a hook youâll quote all week, and Blackpink proves again how effortlessly K-pop can play as mainstream pop and hip hop.
On the rap and rock side, we dig into Killer Mikeâs soundtrack cut and the idea that honesty beats a friendly facade, then crank up The Pretty Reckless, Freddie Gibbs with DJ Paul (adult ears only), and Sevendustâs âUnbreakableâ for anyone who needs a little volume to get through the day. We close with Bleachers pushing back against outside noise and a Mumford and Sons collaboration with Chris Stapleton that somehow feels both simple and huge.

This week's Mixtape Rewind take us back to the end of 2022 as we countdown our final 12 songs of the year. We argue, laugh and occasionally get a little existential about the songs that earned repeat plays, the lyrics that wonât let go, and the artists who made the whole internet stop and listen.
Empty Stomachs and Bloodshot Eyes by Jake Swamp and the PineAnti-Hero by Taylor SwiftStay With Me by Calvin Harris, Justin Timberlake, Halsey, Pharrel WilliamsAngelica by Wet LegThe Greatest Day Of My Life by Zach BryanBULERIAS by ROSALIAJU$T [Toy Selectah Version] by Run the Jewels, EL-P, Killer MikeSugarMan by Regina SpektorTraining Montage by The Mountain GoatsTonight (feat. Ezra Koenig) by PhoenixThe Last Dance by St. Paul & The Broken BonesUnited In Grief by Kendrick Lamar
We start in motion with a driving track that brings back the pre-smartphone road trip era and the simple thrill of turning everything off and just going. Then we jump straight into pop gravity: Taylor Swiftâs âAnti-Hero,â why one perfectly timed line can become an earworm, and how that hook can even mess with your morning self-talk. From there, we bring the party back with a feel-good Calvin Harris collaboration that somehow feels underrated, plus Wet Legâs sharp, funny lyrical detours that reject the constant stream of judgment and noise.
The second half widens the sound on purpose: Zach Bryan surprises us with real emotion and a reminder that memory isnât linear, Rosalia delivers genre-bending Latin music that hits even harder when you translate the words, and Run The Jewels combine protest bars with a remix approach that shouldnât work but absolutely does. We also hit Regina Spektorâs âsugar vs loveâ warning, The Mountain Goats as the perfect workout song, Phoenix with Ezra Koenig for pure nostalgia, and Kendrick Lamar closing the door with grief, trauma, and the strange way we can be united even when everyone mourns differently.Go to My.SuperAwesomeMix.com and start using our new app on any device - mobile or laptop.

A steel town becomes a stage, a chorus becomes a dare, and a new record asks what weâll do when the comfort runs out. We sit down with XBYRDX (aka Bird), a southern Indiana singerâsongwriter, to trace six formative tracksâSpringsteenâs Youngstown, The Jesus and Mary Chainâs Just Like Honey, The Clashâs White Riot, The Replacementsâ Unsatisfied, The Cureâs Plainsong, and HĂŒsker DĂŒâs Donât Want to Know If You Are Lonelyâand hear how noise, melody, and place turned him toward cinematic songwriting.
Then we dive into Anthems for the End Times, where XBYRDX threads big themes through tight hooks. âAyn Randâs On Welfareâ challenges a polished indifference that calls itself selfâreliance and reminds us that posting isnât voting. âMAGA Girlâ wears a pop sheen while charting a romance split by worldview. âShrineâ confronts flags and monuments, arguing for context over erasure and the courage to tell full history. âPrize Fighterâ is the bellâring: get off the ropes, organize, and claim agency. The title track sounds apocalyptic but hides a stubborn optimismâno savior is coming, so we move now, together. âWhite Noiseâ closes on our algorithmic silos, urging listeners to step past the echo and find signal.
Across the conversation, XBYRDX talks craftâlayered synths, texture over solos, melodies that carry weightâand the artists who taught him to let songs feel like weather. If youâre drawn to protest music with heart, indie rock with teeth, and storytelling that sees people before positions, this oneâs for you.Stream 'Anthems for the End Times' on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you get your invisible music, and let us know which track hit you first.

This week's Mixtape Rewind has our friend and the host of the podcast What Are You Listening To?, Jenn Tully, joining Matt and Sam to present her Desert Island Mix.....which may have changed since we recorded this episode.
From 80s powerhouses to modern indie storytellers, Jenn maps the songs that shaped her life and the moments they still soundtrack.
Change by John WaiteOlâ 55 by EaglesTangerine by Led ZeppelinLife Itself by Glass AnimalsEvery Little Thing She Does Is Magic by The Policeinvisible string by Taylor SwiftWould I Lie to You by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, Dave StewartCall It Dreaming by Iron & WineWalt Graceâs Submarine Test, January 1967 by John MayerForever by HAIMSuperposition by Young the GiantBorderline by Madonna
We start in montage mode with John Waiteâs Change and a spirited Vision Quest detour, then settle into anchor territory: the Eaglesâ warm-road harmonies and Led Zeppelinâs tender Tangerine. Joy spikes with The Policeâs Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, a steel-drum smile fit for any beach, while Taylor Swiftâs Invisible String wraps pandemic-era time into something curious, mystical, and finally wondrous. Jennâs love for storytelling shines through John Mayerâs Walt Graceâs 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 Animalsâ Life Itself examines belonging with kinetic honesty, Iron & Wineâs Call It Dreaming offers lyrical grace for anyone carrying old loves, and Young the Giantâs Superposition turns physics into romanceâfinding beauty in overlap, uncertainty, and dual truths. We celebrate Annie Lennoxâs vocal fire on Eurythmicsâ Would I Lie to You and the candid power of sister-trio Haim on Forever. And to close, Jenn lands on Madonnaâs Borderline, a timeless 80s gem that still blooms on every listen.

Blizzard warnings outside, sonic weather systems inside. Matt and Sam pulled together twelve new tracks that cut through the February haze, from Bruce Springsteenâs lightning-fast protest release to Charli XCXâs orchestral, slow-burn elegance. The throughline is momentumâhow artists old and new push ideas forward, whether by turning up the amps, sharpening the story, or stripping a feeling down to its essential parts.
We start with the tradition of the protest song and how the modern pipeline lets Bruce write Friday, record Saturday, and shake feeds by Sunday. That urgency echoes across the mix: Moby and Jacob Lusk descend into winter stillness with a haunting piano rework, while Metric flips the phrase âvictim of luckâ into a catchy meditation on fortuneâs fallout. Foo Fighters slam back to a vintage roar, asking heavy questions with a grin, and Joe Jackson proves legacy doesnât mean nostalgicâhis bright, narrative pop still lands clean.
Midway, the energy pivots. Andrew Bird and Gavin Brivick give us a short, tender plea that lingers, then Young the Giant wrestle with belonging and the quiet art of not letting go. The Black Keys deliver a bluesy reminder that losses make the wins sweeter, and J. Cole sets 'Two Six' ablaze with tight imagery and shape-shifting flow. Charli XCX steps into cinematic mode for Wuthering Heights, weaving strings and restraint to let the emotion breathe.
We close with memory and maintenance: Joyce Manorâs snapshot of the bar that shaped a moment, and The New Pornographersâ vow to keep the small flame aliveââmy hands are cupped around a match.âIf youâre here for thoughtful lyrics, rock that punches, indie hooks, and a few gut-punch lines youâll carry all week, queue this one up and ride the arc with us.
