Musician Erik Garlington (Proper.) took our prompt of "a song you always put on a road trip playlist" and turned it on its head!

Writer, comedian, and Missy Elliot superfan Kelley Quinn (Straight Marriage, Eating Shit and Loving It) is here to talk about Lil Wayne's "Mrs. Officer," a song that Wikipedia says, "goes so far as to reference the famous rap song 'Fuck tha Police' (though in a literal sense)." Kelley tells us why she's been thinking of Lil Wayne recently and shares a story of self-realization en route to a Rilo Kiley show. We discuss whether or not "Mrs. Officer" would be released in 2021 and Kelley sparks a lovely socialist dialogue about defunding the police, abolishing prisons, and medicare for all.

Writer and actor Elena Skopetos (Songonauts, Magnet Theater) is in the studio to talk with Evan and Pat about Robyn's masterpiece "Dancing On My Own." This powerhouse song has it all – a little sad, but a lot of fun – and inspires everyone to get out on the floor and dance.
Megan Gray (Artistic Director at Magnet Theater) joins us in the studio to talk about "The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe. The song came to Megan when her boyfriend Louis gave her a mixtape just before she embarked on a foreign exchange trip way back during her freshman year of high school.

It's part 2 of 2 in the "Pat in Los Angeles" series! We have Landon Charles Hughes (Comedian) on the show to talk about "Breathe Me" by Sia. This song connected with Landon in a significant way.

The song brings up numerous memories for all three boys gathered around the table and you'll find a lot of conversation about beautiful and sad songs in this episode. We talk about how a cover can make you reconsider a song, when bands are accompanied by orchestras, soundtracking your life, The Weakerthans' Virtue series, and most importantly…how Evan found God.
Todays episode features Jamie Coletta, the director of marketing at Side One Dummy Records. This is our first episode recorded out of New York, our first without Evan, and our first with a label we absolutely adore. Jamie was excited to discuss the new Paramore album which Pat enjoyed as a soundtrack to drive around California.
We covered a lot of ground in this one! The Paramore song had us discussing identity, expectations, and the seemingly dramatic shift in genre they took. Then we talked about how Jamie got into the industry, doing what you love, what it's like to hunt for new bands, and how the labels community naturally formed.

We talk about album closers, living abroad, growing up, life changes, friendship, and love. It gets deep! Mikki Hommel returns to the show and plays a killer cover of "My Body Is a Cage." She also plays an incredible improvised song and one of her original tunes!
A "blizzard" prevents our original lineup from getting to the venue so we instead play host to the incredible trio of Christina Cola, Chrissie Gruebel, and Cory P Willis who all join us for this spontaneous multi-guest episode. We discuss "Hazard" by Richard Marx, "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) by Pete Rock & CL Smooth, "Today" by Tom Scott & The Honeysuckle Breeze, and finally, "The Shakes" by The Menzingers.

This one certainly was surprising. We had Annalise Domenighini come in a few months ago and she chose Wheatus' "Teenage Dirtbag" as her song. Turns out Twitter is excellent and we managed to get Wheatus' main man, Brendan B. Brown, come in to talk to us about Steve Winwood's "Valerie."
We talked to Aparna Nancherla (Late Night with Seth Meyers, Inside Amy Schumer, Whiplash at UCB) about Styx's "Show Me The Way (Desert Storm Mix)" and got to discuss growing up outside of DC, making your own decisions about music, and of course, US military propaganda.
