10/10 You're Great

Ciara joins us for the 3rd time to talk the 3rd record by Billy Talent (google Pezz with the two zs and then filter "Canadian") as it turns 20! That's right its a birthday extravaganza and we "Try Honestly" to get it right. I know that's not the name of the song but it is close, so give it to me. Also up for 2scussion: Golden crocodiles, wherefore art thou? World of Warcraft is the ideal way to discover music, and Sy Snoodles is put on blast. Also hey! Charlie wrote a retrospective on the album for The Alternative here.

This week we cannonball into the 90s with the help of music critic Abby Jones, who walks us through The Breeders' classic record Last Splash, and if you want better writing than this sentence provides, you can check out her work at https://www.abbyfjones.com/Also up for splashscussion (that's discussion in a tidal pool): We demand to pull the blur lever at Pitchfork, what is the quintessential 7.0 record?, and Chris attempts to goad Abby into slandering her previous employers for some reason.

It's a music podcast! And Shrek is one of the most musical movies out there! Kind of! Also this one is really bad and does not leverage the hits-- so look forward to our intimate disection of this Dreamworks classic. Also up for donk-shreking: A new hybrid bev that is better than the hybrid donkey dragon monster babies, we wear Julia's jeans for a night, and who could've seen it coming but Chris has a showtime and its the same as it was the last 30 times.

This week it’s Tim with Will and Chris and Charlie and Lucas and Donald and Ronald and I only made up two of those names so get guessing, clue hunters! Speaking of sleuthing: Will (of Melvic Centre, which is spelled Australian style like Colour or Raisin Brean) joined us to explain The Replacements’ fourth (?!) studio album, Tim. That's right it's Tim Time and I wish we had said that on the episode.Also in Tim Time: The Simpsons got Australia totally right in just a few ways, an investigation into the Melvic/Pelvic controversy, and we ask Will to name every credit card he's ever seen.

Our episode naming conventions make it sound like we just got married to Kade but no! No one gets married in this episode except for us getting married to the idea of loving Get Married! Let me start this over this isn't working: This week, we are joined by Kade of Swiss Army Wife (linktr.ee/swissarmywifeband) who walks us through Glocca Morra's secret masterpiece, Get Married.Also up for discussion: Tortellinis are a dangerous kitchen food, it's actually totally normal to wear nothing under a sweatshirt, and we all love Portland, Oregon (Maine not mentioned).Editor's Note: We are aware Top Gun is in Fallon and NOT Las Vegas. We are also aware that much of TOP GUN (1986) takes place in San Diego. Remarks made at the beginning of the episode were part of a purposeful misinformation campaign.

This week we three sidekicks (under communism, no one gets to be the main guy) discuss The Sidekicks' Awkward Breeds. It's underrated and it has got a bird on the cover and basically all we do is list similar facts such as that. Also up for breeding (discussion): This is now a presidential impression podcast, soda enemas are in (the wrong holes) and Boy Meets World, What About Boy Exits World: the Abraham Lincoln Story.

This week on TTYG we return to The Cure's classic record Pornography and it goes about as well as you'd think.Also up for discussion: A bev from a California far away is slurped and turfed, M.I.A. gets K.I.A. for reasons of being evil now, and we are not medical professionals please do not listen to us.

This week! You scream, I Scream, We All Scream! That is a pattern in 2026 and we believe in patterns! Hey, that's almost the name of the album we discussed on this episode. That's right, music critic, screamo-knower and fellow Alternative-head Elias joined us this week to walk us through I Would Set Myself On Fire For You's second record, Believes in Patterns. Almost certainly I messed up the title case somewhere in there so it's good Chris often forgets to read these.Other reasons to set yourself ablaze this week include: Haircuts in today's dollars must be put on a payment plan, is metalcore like metal ore in Minecraft, and also we all loudly agree that underscores rules which is great because it's true.
