Get into the Groove

The Grammy Awards are in a few days, so of course, we must step in and interrupt with our snatchy attitudes and give out the most prestigious awards on the PLANET! Join us for the AntiGrammy Awards, with a very special in memoriam.

Brandon, Melissa, Jeannie & Colton are back, just in time for the holidays! And the crew is joined by none other than Calvin Arsenia, and he's here to tell you just exactly who is the Queen of Christmas. (Spoiler, it's Mariah Carey)

Jeannie takes the crew through Doja Cat's 2021 award-winning album "Planet Her", and they dive deep into the reasons why her music screams women's empowerment.

At long last, we visit the album, the movie, the moment that solidified Whitney Houston as a superstar. Melissa guides the crew through the The Bodyguard soundtrack, and dives deep into the music AND the movie, why they exists, and why it was a cultural shift.

Colton takes the crew through Dennis Wilson's solo record - "Pacific Ocean Blue". Even though it was his first record, Dennis managed to outsell The Beach Boys (after kicking him out of the band).

Brandon, Jeannie, Melissa, & Colton are joined by new friend of the pod, singer/songwriter/actress Marah McFadden. And everyone fangirls out over the truly epic debut record from Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman - "Bat out of Hell"

Miss Jean spearheads the crew through the turbulent debut album from the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's - the beginning of the Karen O legacy. What a ride it is.

Melissa guides the crew through the debut album from the sensationally sensual duo of Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak - a band Bootsy Collins likes to call Silk Sonic.

It is truly roughly 20 minutes of Colton, Melissa, Jeannie & Brandon eating nachos and reacting to whatever's happening on the television - which, at no point, includes football.

Colton leads the crew through Jack White's solo debut record,

Brandon tries his absolute best to get through all forty-two tracks of the original Broadway cast album that reached an audience far beyond The Great White Way, the soundtrack to the pivotal musical that reaches way down deep and tears you inside you 'till you're torn apart... Rent!

It's been a whole damn year! And we're filling the void the Grammy's left in your heart when they postponed. It's the AntiGrammy awards! The award show where we talk about artists that were NOT nominated for a Grammy award. Who will win? Who will lose? Who wore it best? Find out. Listen now!

For our season finale, Jeannie brings on new friend of the pod Katie and the two enlighten the crew about The Mountain Goat's latest release "Dark in Here".

Brandon takes the crew through Perfume Genius' 3rd studio album, "Too Bright", and the answer the age-old question: don't you know you're queen?

The crew is joined by bassist and DJ Geoff Winningham to discuss the disco-punk - and often purposely pretentious - group LCD Soundsystem and their final record... before they reunited seven years later.

Jeannie leads the crew through Tyler the Creator's 2019 record IGOR. The crew dives deep into this unrequited-love story with a splash of queerness.

New friends of the pod Christina & Lisa stop by and join the crew to talk about the new drug menace that's destroying America's youth in alarmingly increasing numbers. It's Reefer Madness!

The crew is joined by their very first friend of the pod, Calvin Arsenia! And they take a listen to St. Vincent's brand new record - "Daddy's Home".

This episode is a real wild ride. If you've seen the NPR Tiny Desk Concert series, you've for sure been introduced to Tank & the Bangas. We go back to their very first record and dive deep into this jazzy, bluesy, spoke-wordsy album.

Straylight Run was a short-lived emo band in the late aughts that was fronted by Taking Back Sunday's John Nolan. Even though they only lasted a short while, their sophomore album packs an emotional punch that lingers for at least a decade.

Jeannie brings a Car Seat Headrest album to the crew. Originally released as the 6th album, Twin Fantasy (Face-to-Face) is a rerecording of an old work. They discuss the differences between the two albums and what it even really means.

This week the crew dives into the Kickstarter success story, "Theatre is Evil", a record Amanda Palmer crowdfunded and raised $1.2 million dollars. But is it really worth every dollar spent? ... Spoiler alert: yes.

This week, Melissa shows us international pop sensation MIKA and his debut album "Life in Cartoon Motion".

The crew takes a listen to a band that is the definition of "flash-in-the-pan". Dear & the Headlights had only two albums, but they packed 'em both with lyrics that will stand the test of time.

We're back! And we're here to tell you that there was more to music in 2020 than Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift. Check out our picks that absolutely should've been nominated for an award.

In the finale of our first collection, Colton shows the crew a recording of a Bob Dylan concert from 1966. In this bootleg recording (part of The Bootleg Series) Dylan powers through the show while the unruly audience heckles the band and protests his new, electric now.

"Sign 'O' the Times" is widely considered to be Prince's masterpiece. But WHY?! Brandon, Colton, Melissa & Jeannie get into it and gain newfound respect for this strange album.

As we near the fifth anniversary of his death, Jeannie takes the crew through Mr. Bowie's final album - "Blackstar".

The crew dives into the shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen, knotted, polka-dotted, twisted, beaded, braided, powdered, flowered, confettied, bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied musical called HAIR!

Brandon, Colton, Melissa & Jeannie revisit an album from their angsty teenage years, and Melissa convinces the rest of crew why this rock opera should be a full blown musical!

Colton forces his friends to listen to 'Pet Sounds' and tries to convince them it's worth a damn.

It's our first episode! Melissa, Colton, and Jeannie sit around with me and we nerd out about Marvin Gaye's album. (This was recorded back in September.)
