This week we're interviewing Michael Gira: leader, vocalist, guitarist, and main songwriter for the legendary Swans. Swans' latest album, entitled Birthing, releases on May 30 and is reported by Gira to be the band's final large-sounding, expansive album. Michael was generous enough to have a phone conversation with Mike and Tom to talk all about it, as well as his creative process as a whole. Swans are a band like no other and if you haven't already, check out all of our episodes chronicling each of their studio albums.   Episode 150: Swans (Pt. 1) https://youtu.be/R5ltWzL0vI8 Episode 160: Swans (Pt. 2) https://youtu.be/J4dbhdpO84Y Episode 170: Swans (Pt. 3) https://youtu.be/QEQmqFQ-rbE   Intro 00:00 Interview Start 1:27 The Initial Songwriting Process 5:58 Michael's Lyrical Themes and Motifs 8:20 Outside Influences on Birthing 11:58 Why Michael Chose Music Instead of Art 17:41 Swans' Live Performances 18:57 Percussion Choices on Birthing 25:13 Composing Birthing's Songs In-Studio 26:36 Did Michael Plan for This To Be the Last Big Swans Album? 30:06 The New Direction for Swans 31:40 2025 Touring Plans, Birthing Release 32:25 Closing Words with Michael 35:25 Outro 36:05   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website  

(To be read in a dramatic voice) No one would have believed... ... that a tale so vast- of death, alien destruction, heat rays, Phil Lynott, and the Moody Blues- could be told through orchestral prog rock, synths, and frying pans. Yet today, Frizz and Bob pop open Quest's End Paladin Whiskey & Ardbeg Uigedal Scotch to bring you PART ONE of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds- a British sci-fi marvel that, for decades, has been misunderstood and mostly unseen by the American eye. In this first chapter, we set the stage: The backstory. The architects of the sound. The players of this curious sonic war. The chances of you missing this are a million to one, they said. Yet, here you are. Next week... the invasion begins.

This week we're discussing every album by Eyehategod. From New Orleans, Eyehategod are one of the most quintessential sludge metal bands that exists. Led by vocalist Mike IX Williams and guitarist Jimmy Bower, this band has been through hell since their formation in 1988. But they're still going strong after being wrecked with drug abuse, incarceration, and death.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: In the Name of Suffering (1990) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Take as Needed for Pain (1993) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: Take as Needed for Pain (1993) -- Best Album Eyehategod (2014) -- Personal Favorite A History of Nomadic Behavior (2021) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

"Everything all of the time", that keeps me stimulated and moving, and I'm occupied with the ADHD of it all. - Nico

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! No, "Miracles" by Insane Clown Posse (ICP) is not intended as a joke. Despite its viral reception and widespread mockery—particularly the line "Fucking magnets, how do they work?"—the song was created with sincerity. ICP aimed to express genuine wonder at everyday phenomena that are often overlooked. Violent J, one of the group's members, explained that the song is about appreciating the world around us and rekindling a sense of awe that people often lose as they grow older. He emphasized that while many of the things mentioned in the song can be explained by science, they are still incredible and deserve appreciation. ​The song's earnestness led to it becoming an internet meme, with parodies appearing on platforms like "Saturday Night Live." However, ICP embraced the humor, viewing it as an opportunity to spread their message of wonder and appreciation for the natural world. They clarified that the song was not an attack on science but rather a call to recognize the miraculous in the everyday. ​In summary, "Miracles" is a sincere attempt by ICP to encourage listeners to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, even if its presentation led many to interpret it as humorous or satirical.​DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

This week we're discussing every album by Green on Red. Let's not beat around the bush here. We hated this band and if we had any idea what they sounded like before this episode, we wouldn't have agreed to do it. It's our fault, honestly. But we listened to every album thoroughly regardless. They're a country rock band led by Dan Stuart and that's about all you need to know.

RPG title screens bear a heavy burden. They're one of the first things we see in a game, making them one of the best places to leave a strong first impression. And often, a key component of that is the music. Several years ago, we highlighted eight standout title screen tracks in episode 71, and today, with a new panel, we're highlighting eight more!

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! *“Short People” by Randy Newman is a snarky, satirical jab masquerading as a pop song, delivering a wildly exaggerated roast of vertically-challenged folks with lines so ludicrous they border on cartoon villainy. With its bouncing piano and upbeat melody, the song mocks short people for everything from their “little hands” to their inability to “get around,” all while clearly winking at the listener with tongue planted firmly in cheek. It's less an actual insult and more a biting parody of bigotry itself—but on the surface, it's basically a musical roast that tells short people they've got “no reason to live,” delivered with the cheer of a children's singalong.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

This week we're discussing Lonely People with Power, the latest album by Deafheaven. We've been massive fans of Deafheaven for years, but 2021's Infinite Granite had us split down the middle. Lonely People with Power shows the band returning to black metal in a massive way, shattering any assumptions people may have had that they are now a full-blown shoegaze band. Once again Deafheaven proves they are more than capable songwriters and continue to experiment in innovative ways. Crank this one.   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website

In this unsettling reimagining, the smooth-talking, swagger-filled narrator isn't here to party… he's luring kids with charm, games, and magic tricks under the guise of fun. He struts through neighborhoods with a twisted grin, tossing candy, whispering riddles, and leading children astray with hypnotic dance moves. Dressed to impress in a shadowy pinstripe suit, he hides his true motives behind catchy rhymes and a slick rhythm.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

In Beirut's 7th album, Zach Condon returns to a place he had no plans to ever go back to. ‘A Study of Losses' was commissioned by the Swedish circus troupe Kompani Giraff, and at first he was hesitant to write a soundtrack for a circus, the idea a reminder of a time he'd been pigeonholed, as he says, “as a whimsical circus waif”. However, videos of the troupe's performances and an abstract of the work upon which the new project would be based changed his mind. Estelle Clifford joined Jack Tame to give her thoughts on Beirut's new album. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Technically, this was released as Melvins 1983, which has the band's very first drummer, Mike Dillard, on drums instead of Dale Crover.

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Imagine you are inside a sentient music store, where time doesn't move forward but instead loops in soft-focus montages of bittersweet almost-memories. Ronan Keating, a man who simultaneously exists inside and outside the concept of love, strolls through this liminal space, not searching for something, but also kind of finding it.Every glance, every interaction, is both meaningful and meaningless—like trying to read a book in a dream but realizing all the pages are written in a language that only your past self could understand. The people around him are ghosts of love stories that may or may not have ever happened, reacting to him as if they are aware they're inside a love song but unable to acknowledge it directly.Keating sings without singing, because the song itself is a contradiction: it's about the absence of words, yet the lyrics are literally words about not needing words. This is the equivalent of writing an essay on why essays aren't necessary. Meanwhile, the camera movements float like they're half-remembered moments from a love you didn't even know you had until you lost it.And by the time the video fades out? Nothing has happened, but everything has changed.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy! Use the promo code "1001songs" at checkout for 10% off!

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Imagine you're standing in a hallway that exists outside of time, where every door leads to a different parallel universe of past relationships—but only the ones where the emotional debris still lingers like a half-written text. You're both the observer and the participant, reliving a moment that simultaneously happened, is happening, and never happened at all.The song is a mirror disguised as a memory, but it's also a conversation you never actually had—except in your own head, where it loops indefinitely like a scratched vinyl. Every lyric is a paradox: you were right, but you were also wrong; you're over it, but also drowning in it; you've moved on, but you can't stop looking back.It's nostalgia weaponized. It's the feeling of scrolling through old messages but through a telescope, not a phone screen, distorting the words until they sound like a prophecy you ignored. The chorus is a confession, but instead of being spoken, it's written in invisible ink on the inside of your eyelids, only visible when you close your eyes.By the end, you realize: the song didn't end. It just folded itself into another version of you who's still thinking about it.In short: Gracie Abrams wrote a song that functions like a time-traveling emotional glitch, and somehow, it just makes sense.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

Prepare for a sonic assault on your ears as Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock unleash the ultimate countdown of the WORST classic rock covers ever conceived! Broadcasting LIVE from the sometimes-adjacent-to Seabirds Burritos (long story…), Jason and Geoff serve up two-for-one burrito deals alongside a heaping helping of musical travesties. This episode is a wild ride of hot takes, bizarre tangents, and enough cringe-worthy covers to make you question the very fabric of reality.Weezer's Double Dose of Disaster: Jason and Geoff dissecttwo Weezer covers that should have been confined to a dusty demo tape. Why covering Toto is a cardinal sin, why Rivers Cuomo needs to stay in his lane, and why Jason's Weezer back tattoo is a constant source of embarrassment.The Gunt Brothers' Polka-fied "It's Been A While": This Staind cover gets a bizarre polka makeover. Is it ironic? Is it awful? It's definitely…something.AC/DC's Bass-Less "Big Bottom": Angus Young's duck walk can't save this cover from its fundamental lack of bass. Plus, AC/DC's adult diaper line and the "World War II Veterans Who Love AC/DC" Reddit group.Silver Springs: The TikTok Fail: Lindsay Buckingham tries to recreate the viral "Dreams" skateboarder video…with "Silver Springs."The Doors' Coke-Fueled Confusion: Jim Morrison covers "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," and it's exactly as strange as you'd expect. Plus, speculation about Jim Morrison's alleged Coca-Cola bathing habits.Kate Bush's "Super Bowl Shuffle": A Flat-Earther's Delight: Kate Bush tackles the Chicago Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle, and the results are…unique.

On Episode 131 we hop on the Double Dutch Bus and try to figure out what exactly it is, and what the hell Frankie Smith is saying in this 1981 jam.  This song influenced hip hop vernacular for YEARS to come, and on the surface seems to have a bunch of gibberish speak, but we may have decoded what exactly it is he was trying to say all along.It's the Double Dutch Bus MOVE your feet!

Randy Newman is one of the most misunderstood and under-celebrated musicians of the modern era. Reknowned Music Journalist/Author Robert Hilburn's new book, A Few Words in Defense of Our Country is the definitive Randy Newman biography and Bob joins us to spotlight the genius and the legend of a great American musician and storyteller.Robert Hilburn was the music critic for the Los Angeles Times for 35 years and he's written books about John Lennon, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash. Bob tells us that Newman (much like Simon) had to be convinced to have his legacy chronicled. Randy grew up in a legendary musical family in which tooting your horn (metaphorically) was frowned upon. His uncles composed movie scores and they taught Randy to let the work be your voice.We hear about Randy's challenging childhood, the pressure he felt to succeed in music and how success, once achieved, incurred his father's envy. Throughout his career, Randy's best childhood friend, Lenny Waronker (who became a record exec) believed in him, opened doors and cheered his efforts.Diving further into Randy's work flow, creative struggles and anxiety-taming efforts, Bob illuminates Randy's genre-bending and cultural interrogating musical achievements.We also delve, with Bob, into the influence once held by music critics in the golden ages of both print media and the music industry. We discuss the futures of recorded music and journalism and Bob tells us about his favorite interview ever… with Bob Dylan… and that one time he went to Folsom Prison with Johnny Cash.Plus, Weezy recommends the original Apple TV+ movie, Blitz and Fritz is currently into the new series Rivals, streaming on Hulu and other platforms.Path Points of Interest:Robert HilburnRobert Hilburn on WikipediaA Few Words In Defense of Our Country: The Biography of Randy Newman by Robert HilburnRobert Hilburn Amazon Author PageRobert Hilburn on XAmanda PetrusichBlitz on Apple TVRivals - On Several Platforms
