    Episode 261 - S-E-X-X-Y

    My BFF Steve Clark returns to the show after long last, to talk about the divisive TMBG Factory Showroom single, "S-E-X-X-Y." Let's discuss why this song doesn't deserve the hate it gets as we hear many remixes, live versions of different arrangements,  and fun covers.

    Episode 259 - TRACTOR

    Our good friend Noah Daniel returns at long last to talk about the More Murdered Remains song "Tractor." We attempt to figure out the metaphors of this odd, catchy song, and hear great covers from a bunch of friends, and Noah himself.

Wonderful

It’s hard to believe that you can get two people talking about a 2 1/2 minute song for 1 1/2 hours, and have it be entertaining. And yet it is.

So great for a TMBG fan

Greg’s ability to connect with all of his cohosts is a gift. The commentary is fun, thoughtful, informative, spontaneous, and entertaining. I’m very interested in seeing his final scores at the end of the tour.

Fellowship of TMBG

Apart from my immediate family, life as a TMBG fan has been mostly a solitary pursuit. It’s like a breath of fresh air to have somehow even found my way here to this podcast. It’s a small miracle, really. Each day there are wee victories for this old school/pre-internet era gal, and this is one of them. I’m thankful for all the hard work and creative energy that is poured into the making of each episode. I have only listened to a few so far, but I am sincerely enjoying what I’m hearing. I’m glad to have found a landing pad to camp out on where my favorite band and their incredible body of work is debated and celebrated! This is not such a solitary pursuit after all. Not to put too fine a fine point on it, I am Thankful!
