Love Songs is a podcast from FineFineWhatever, a married couple with two kids. We are an English teacher/musician and a therapist/all-around genius. On each episode, we choose two love songs we can't stop listening to and unpack what makes them so awesome.
In which we discuss hitting the wall, pushing to keep going, and finding light at the edges.
Only one song title emerged from this discussion: "I Miss Hugging My Friends." That sounds like a song. This episode also has a bonus track shhh
This episode's song is titled either "The Same Alone" or "{The Context is Wrong) Real Real Wrong." Vote on our Facebook page. We talk about sharing isolating experiences and then trying to feel more organized.
One week in....talking about love and home and fear and the no-plan plan.
This is our first episode of a new show where Yoni plays some guitar and then Laura and Yoni talk. This is happening during a pandemic.
The Fines are having a hard time talking about anything besides Steven Universe these days. Luckily, that show happens to have produced one of the best ever songs about love. The whole family gets together to talk about this one.
We have a lot to say about James Blake again. And Yoni chooses another pop song, this time a sad, sweet one from Ariana Grande. #byekitty
It's been a while. We return with a track from our favorite album of 2018 (DJDS), and Yoni makes Laura feel guilty for scoffing at Kacey Musgraves.
The truth comes out on this one. Laura doesn't love Beyonce. Yoni deals. We still talk about The Carters for a long time, and then Laura's Kishi Bashi pick reminds us what really matters.
No punk this time. Promise. You'll probably like Laura's Lola Marsh song. You might like Yoni's Natalie Prass. I mean, Laura doesn't, but you might. These songs gave us a lot to talk about.
What do a lovely Laura Marling song and a raucous Joyce Manor song have in common? It's not just that they're love songs, y'all. They're basically about the same thing. We break it down while enjoying each other's company. Please join us.
It's Season Two! Thanks for your patience as we went into podcast hibernation. Leon Bridges kicks it off with a pretty traditional love song, and then Laura brazenly takes on Bon Iver, somehow connecting the two. And that's what Love Songs the Podcast is all about.
We test our thesis that all songs are love songs this week with a Big Thief song about an old friend and a Nathaniel Rateliff song about personal struggle. Don't worry - we did it. They're also love songs. Join our conversation about stardust, rabies, and not knowing anything. It's good!
On this episode we talk a lot about telephones. Also shampoo commercials, Wall-E, and two really aweome songs: an old one by Labi Siffre and a newer one from Syd.
Happy New Year! Our winter break - and these two songs - have helped remind us that we are good to each other and that it feels good to fall back into place. Beach House and Whilk and Misky's cover of "So Good to Me" provide this week's inspiration.
It's our first ever holiday special! We can stretch the definition of hanukkah song even farther than our definition of love song. Disclosure and James Blake w/Justin Vernon help us usher in the Festival of Lights. Happy Hanukkah!
There's a theme here, as we "Go" and then "Remain." Laura's Gracie and Rachel pick transitions so smoothly into Yoni's Jay Som song, you'd think it was planned or something. Listen with us as we once again talk about music, love, and crepuscular creatures.
This week we're feeling Rostam's sad-but-sweet song, "Half-Light" and HAIM's sassy rocker, "Little of Your Love."
Laura has two songs about the importance of taking a break, and Yoni shows everyone how to take a break. Join us in giggles over songs by Netherfriends and Geographer.
Today Laura heard a Raury track that immediately became vital as it says a lot about putting more love in the world. And Yoni's song has no words, because all he wants to listen to right now is Four Tet, so there.
Work-spouses, synchronicity, exploding stars, dappled ponies...we discuss all these and more on episode 11 of Love Songs the Podcast. This week, one of us couldn't stop listening to the Kurt Vile/Courtney Barnett collaboration, while one of us didn't ever want to listen to that and instead was listening to a lovely Ben Zaidi song.
We've made ten episodes! As a special thank you to our listeners, we've made this episode just like the others, but this time we talk about a song by Overcoats and a Bright Eyes oldie.
FineFineWhatever is back to talk about two songs about love we're loving right now. They're by Hundred Waters and Allan Rayman. If you have thoughts about blankets - or swooning for bad boys - you should listen with us!
This week's conversation is about how our relationship has given each of us the gift of freedom to be fully ourselves. Nina Simone and Jim James helped us out.
After another moderately heavy week, we're grateful for love songs that have some darkness in them. We've got some Father John Misty and a chilling cover of "Landslide" this time on Love Songs the Podcast.
We're back with some Iron and Wine and some Frank Ocean. We talk about love, of course, and other things, of course.
An old Yo La Tengo song and new song by Luca (feat. Tei Shi) are the love songs on our minds this week.
Love Songs #4: I Love Me/The Wilhelm Scream by FineFineWhatever
We're back for episode 3! Will we talk about Neil Young, Neil Diamond, or Willie Nelson? To find out, listen to our conversation about two more love songs that we love.
It's our first second episode! We talk about songs by Hot Chip and Mates of State. And love. And fights!
Episode 1 of Love Songs from FineFineWhatever. We discuss "Any Party" by Feist and "Twirl Me" by Wildlight.
