Calling All Phantogram fans! We're keeping Mixtober rolling with their 2016 album Three (or Ӡ if you're cool)! Their unique, shoegazey style of sample-laden dark electropop makes for a captivating backdrop for this record that's anything but the Same Old Blues. We'll explore Big Bois and sound toys, learn how to be the best a man can be, and figure out if hurt people hurt people. The Mixtaper will tell us all about his Bill Murray bender, and he needs an Answer. It used to take one, now it takes four... will Phantogram get us high anymore?

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. Run Run Run and check out this episode... we promise you'll still have time for All Tomorrow's parties! Happy Mixtober!!

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.

Frontwoman Mandy Lee laments the end of an 8-year relationship and takes us Over The Rainbow with Wizard Of Oz references to explore the poppy fields in the desert and find growth in hardship. We head all the way to Rock Bottom before Coming Up For Air, but we never lose sight of the brass, funk, and creative arrangements that give MisterWives their groove. Mr. Mixtaper also has a series of facts about the noisiest man in the world, a mythical tome called the Encleanopedia, and confusing soups (with a fun minigame at the end)!

H to the Izzo, V to the Izzay! The Ruler's Back and this week it's a Jay-Z Takeover! James and Connor are heading to the Heart Of The City with Hov's legendary 2001 record The Blueprint. We'll cover young Shawn Carter's rise to the top, discuss his ambitious business ventures, and more as we learn about the feuds, friends, and experiences that inspired this album. The Mixtaper helps us see the world in proprietary Jay-Z Blue, hatch a dragon, and encounter Michael Jackson in the most unexpected places. No one can make a Song Cry quite like Small Hov, and no one can rank a Renegade like Spin It! Will pure exposure therapy and soul-infused hip-hop finally break through to Connor?

It's another Birthday Episode! James and Connor (they used to call us Junebug and Jester) are talking about one of James' must-know albums: We All Want The Same Things, the third solo album from The Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn! His effortless worldbuilding introduces us to a whirlwind of characters who are down on their luck and looking for something to hope for. From the disorienting progress of Preludes to the sting of divorce in Be Honest, no stone is left unturned. The Mixtaper will wax poetic about Walt Whitman, spill the tea about teapots, and introduce us to a new (and impossible) birthday matching game! If you've never been to Chicago and you've got nothing going on tomorrow... maybe you can listen to this episode tonight. Sit back, relax, and widen out the angle for all of Craig Finn's Tracking Shots.

We're as smooth as Tennessee Whiskey this week and we've got Nobody To Blame but Chris Stapleton! His breakout 2015 record Traveller took the evolving country music scene by storm and skyrocketed this Kentucky songwriter to the top of the charts. He created this reflective, personal album with the help of his wife, friends, and long-time musical collaborators. With raw vocal power and neotraditional instrumentals, hits like Parachute and Fiiiiiire Away pack an unrivaled emotional punch. The Mixtaper will lead us on a fantastical journey through tales of miner music, TV show cameos, and stolen pizzas. From mandolins to harmonicas to a really cool cowboy hat, Stapleton and his music have it all... but can Traveller's greatest hits make up for its slowest moments? Give it a spin and see!

What a beautiful face we have found in this place.. it's the face of a tambourine! We're entering the Year Of Discovery on a strong note and talking about In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, the second and final album by the mysterious and eclectic Neutral Milk Hotel. This cult classic record is a sonic journey through Jeff Mangum's haunted carnival of lucid dreams and WWII imagery, with a little bit (lotta bit?) of Anne Frank sprinkled throughout. We'll explore goopy, disjointed lyrics, innovative distortion techniques, singing saws, and more as we head back to Holland, 1945. The Mixtaper is teaching us about donkey cheese and expensive chess in another installment of Foxtrot Oscar Sierra! From those red lips to the Two-Headed Boy, we hit it all this week! How strange it is to be anything at all, and this album might just be even stranger.

The Year Of Healing comes to a dramatic conclusion this week with Connor's riskiest pick yet: Endless Summer Vacation by Miley Cyrus! We talked about Plastic Hearts in Episode 20 (check it out!), and Connor's never forgiven James for his thoughts. In this episode we'll talk about what Miley's been up to over the last few years and then take on her first Grammy-winning record, from the "song of the summer" in Flowers to the synthscape of Handstand to the piano ballads like Wonder Woman. The Mixtaper has a lot to make up for too, and we help jog his failing memory as we try to end this year of Fact Or Spin in a 50/50 tie! Plus he has all new facts about tonsils, weddings, and balloon animals... with a twist that nobody saw coming. Maybe we Used To Be Young. Maybe James was Jaded, or Connor was looking through Rose Colored Lenses. Endless Summer Vacation is definitely a lot more mature and nuanced than the maximalist Plastic Hearts, but will it be enough for Connor to achieve his ultimate goal of landing an album in James' Top 100? Will we find the Violet Chemistry and finish the Year Of Healing fully healed? Find out!

Happy 4th Of July! We're celebrating ironically with Born In The U.S.A., the legendary seventh studio album by the pride of New Jersey, the Boss himself! Bruce Springsteen's iconic title track is one of the most misconstrued songs in popular music.. We'll get to the bottom of why it's so misunderstood and relive our Glory Days as we talk about the record's unique cassette demo origins! The Mixtaper is bringing No Surrender with REALLY old songs, a smelly duplex, and offspring-steen equestrians. It's an album full of compelling characters facing everyday life, told through powerful vocals and in memorable melodies. From the outskirts of Darlington County to a chain gang Working On The Highway, Born In The U.S.A. is sure to keep you Dancing In The Dark. (And if you're out there, Bobby Jean... The Boss has you on his mind!)

We're going down, down in an earlier round, and Sugar, We're Going Down spinning! This week we're talking about Fall Out Boy's quintessential 2005 pop-punk record From Under The Cork Tree! With hits like Dance, Dance and song titles longer than we can fit in the episode description, it's a great intro to the band that would go on to Save Rock And Roll. James & Connor talk about Fall Out Boy's history and make very persuasive arguments for their scores. Plus, The Mixtaper (real friend or sham friend?) is setting interview records, getting paid in pizza, and teaching us about anarchoprimitivism during Fact Or Spin! Of all the podcast feeds in all the world, you found this episode in yours. So douse yourself in cheap perfume and do it for the scars and stories.. we don't blame you for being you. Is it our Sophomore Slump, or could this be our Comeback Of The Year?
