There's a little bit of something Rob Thomas in everything in you.. We're entering a Mad Season with the sophomore album from the new millennium's hottest pop-rock band, Matchbox Twenty! We'll learn the true stories that inspired songs like Rest Stop and Last Beautiful Girl, and ponder the softball jersey that gave the band their name. The Mixtaperoo will teach us how to Tour The Rainbow and give us a quote for a standard barber shop expansion. We'll get Angry, get defensive, and sleep in this Bed Of Lies... but one thing we'll NEVER do is talk about Santana's Smooth (or the shrine to it that Rob Thomas may or may not have in his spare bedroom).

It's time to get Good At Falling with the 2019 debut album from The Japanese House! After a long journey of anonymity and EPs under the mentorship of The 1975's Matty Healy, this indie pop record explores loneliness and dreams through vast soundscapes. As usual, We Talk All The Time as we learn about lilos, accidental catfishing, and party tricks. The Mixtaper will teach us what she really means when she says "I saw you in a dream," and we'll wash it down with a whopping glass of royal wine. Maybe Everybody Hates You. Maybe You're The Reason! Either way, we'll Seem So Happy as we explore this record.

Hello, Darkness, my old friend.. This week we'll hear everything BUT the Sound Of Silence as we journey across a Bridge Over Troubled Water with Simon & Garfunkel! They wrote and recorded their final album while the breakup was imminent. We'll talk about this career retrospective and try to count all the times these childhood best friends quit speaking (spoiler alert, it's a LOT). Then the Mixtaper has a golden ticket as he takes us from Jasper and Jinx to a worldwide boycott! Learn about the Peruvian anthem Paul Simon accidentally stole, the tape recorder party that birthed Cecilia, and the hundred hours the duo poured into The Boxer with us!

Peel slowly and see what we have in store this week-- it's The Velvet Underground And Nico! What happens when experimentalists Lou Reed and John Cale join forces with eccentric pop artist Andy Warhol? Turns out they make one of the most influential and regarded cult classic records of the late '60s. Its raunchy, suggestive, and provocative lyrics kept them off the radio, but won over fans worldwide. We'll talk about their unusual origins and eventual disbanding. The Mixtaper reactivates our arachnophobia, bargains with art, and introduces us to a couple who can't seem to stick together.

Ahoy! It's another Connor Pick, and he's taking us sailing on the seven seas with the self-titled debut of The Wellermen! Born from long-distance collaboration in the midst of a TikTok sea shanty craze, the group's signature deep bass folk style brings new life to 13 classics (although some are more classic than others)! After a shocking surprise reveal we'll learn their backstory and dive into songs that range from traditional Viking music and pirate shanties to Ed Sheeran chart-toppers and everything in between. The Mixtaper squares off against Connor again with facts about action figures, limos, alps, Donut Boy, and MUCH more in a historic Fact Or Spin first! Get ready to Hoist The Colors, sail her home to Mingulay, and raise a Parting Glass to The Wellermen! Soon may they come!

Bonus Content! In Episode 165 we took a stroll by the Green River with Creedence Clearwater Revival. Now we're back to dive into their THIRD album from 1969 (and fourth overall), Willy And The Poor Boys! James struggled to choose between the two but is standing by Green River... Will this very similar record with a scrapped concept win us over? How do hits like Down On The Corner and the juggernaut Fortunate Son stack up to what we've already heard? Connor's done some math and presents a convincing case to support his hypothesis. Will we burn an Effigy for Green River or will we leave Feelin' Blue? Find out!

Well! Take a walk along the Green River with us as we cause a Commotion about Creedence Clearwater Revival's era-defining third album, and their second record in just under a year! We'll learn how the band Golliwogged and Gossamer Wumped their way into a record contract and how they slowly imploded under John Fogerty's scrutiny. The Mixtaper challenges our understanding of what's possible with questionable "facts" about allergies, the USSR, and a tense induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Behold what the Bad Moon Rising represents, learn how the Lodi locals feel about being stuck there, and find out the ill-fated fortune that put Fogerty in a Tombstone Shadow this week. CCR Wrote A Song For Everyone, so fire up this record, cite your sources, and Keep On Chooglin' (and Spinning) with the most accurate source of information on the internet!

And we're free... Free Fallin' into another album this week with Tom Petty's most successful record Full Moon Fever! It was released as a solo project in 1989 at the height of his popularity and workload, and contains a handful of his greatest hits. We'll learn about the movie star encounter that sent him Runnin' Down A Dream, and cover everything from his petty (pun intended) squabbles with record labels to his time with The Travelling Wilburys (and, of course, The Heartbreakers). The Mixtaper shares how he got burnt out on tires, foiled foo, and met Bobby Hill during Fact Or Spin. From attempted arson to Grand Theft Auto VI trailers this episode is a Long Road, and we Won't Back Down. Just be prepared to ask for forgiveness.

Spin It is getting Splanky! We're talking about Big Band royalty, the one and only Count Basie! His 1958 instrumental record The Atomic Mr. Basie is the culmination of the talent of dozens of musicians and decades of bandleading experience. Find out how The Kid From Red Bank went from being the town's (second) best drummer to one of the genre's best pianists! On E=MC2, the Count joins arranger (and Batman theme song composer) Neal Hefti to create a pop-friendly swing record that holds tight to jazz tradition. Will they accomplish their goals? The Mixtaper teaches us about Spain, space, and a namesake kingdom that's 472,000,000 wide. Fight the Foo Birds, watch the Fantails, and hop along with Teddy The Toad as we give Basie a good ol' Double-O this week! And remember... it's all about the notes you DON'T play.

Come on, come on! We're Space Truckin' our way through prog metal this week with Machine Head from Deep Purple's Mark II. After a devastating casino fire ruined their plans (and inspired their biggest hit, Smoke On The Water) they created this album with a mobile studio truck in an empty hotel. We'll discover the interesting concept behind the band and their many members, become Highway Stars, and rock out to seven intense jam sessions from the world's certified loudest band! The Mixtaper's purple is deeper than usual with facts about Jesus, Judas, and a pair of semi-iconic performances that were real to the people. It's a perfect record for the Year Of Discovery.. If you like guitar solos, Hammond organs, and heavy metal, maybe this album's for you... or Maybe You're A Leo.
