In this episode, the lads become possessed by the unnerving creepiness of Mike Oldfield's unlikely hit "Tubular Bells", the theme music from the 1973 horror classic The Exorcist.  Thankfully, special guest Joseph Trivers performs a successful exorcism on the dreadful scene, through his exploration of minimalist music and the mechanics of how it confounds, delights, and offers unforeseen avenues of expression. Join the trio for a totally tubular episode of TnT.Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyBrian Eno - 1/1Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (Pt.1)John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter And Daniel Davies - Main Theme from "Halloween"Michael Jackson - ThrillerHoward Shore - The Uruk-haiPhilip Glass - KoyaanisqatsiThe Shining - He Saw it on the TelevisionAl Bowlly & Ray noble and His OrchestraMike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (1971 Demo)Johannes Brahms - Brahms' LullabySilence of the Lambs - Fava Beans and a nice ChiantiLa Monte Young - Composition 1960 No.7Terry Reilly - Poppy Nogood and the Phantom BandSteve Reich - Come OutEighth Blackbird - Two PagesJohn Cale & Terry Reilly - Church of AnthraxSteve Reich - It's Gonna Rain, Part 1Steve Reich - Piano PhaseTerry Reilly - A Rainbow in Curved Air The Who - Baba O'ReillyAnn Southam - Rivers Set 1: No. 1Julius Eastman - Evil N***** (Live)Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster & Panaiotis - NikeConnect with us:Instagram

In this episode, the lads got them a pod that's as big as whale and it's about to set sail! On route to the B-52s' "Love Shack" they head  down the Atlanta Highway and pick up some shiny happy people including REM, Iggy Pop, Nile Rodgers, and Don Was (Not Was) and...the legendary John Lennon himself?

In this episode Tom presents his Dissertation on Delay to Professor Ralston, who must choose the Hit Songiest Song From Mars from a number of worthy (and not so worthy) candidates. The challenge pits Love and Rockets against The Temptations, Edwin Starr, Tina Turner, Anthrax and Duran Duran. This ignites a compelling discussion on the unlikely bedfellows of Goth Rock, Reggae, Motown, Psychedelia and of course...Bauhaus and Van Halen! It's a ball of confusion you do not want to miss!

Now that the Falalalala season is over, time to get into the Trololo! Join the comrades as they revisit the "Golden Age" of YouTube (and perhaps the internet itself) with Eduard Khil's legendary non-lexical vocable masterpiece. As they travel along the Information Superhighway, they find the lost songs of their youth, search for the Sugar Man, and take an unexpected trip to Africa.

O come all ye faithful and join the lads as they say pogue mahone to Christmas, with that most un-Christmassy of Christmas carols "Fairytale of New York." As they attempt (and fail) to find the true meaning of Christmas, the fellows examine the multi-year process that went into the making of this unlikely holiday classic, debate which Pogues album marked their peak, and examine the life and legacy of the late, great Shane MacGowan.

Join the lads as they put on their skates and travel back to the roller disco era, grooving to the melodious tones of the Andrea True Connection's "More, More, More."  As they try to keep their balance, the boyz marvel at the crisis turned opportunity that spawned not one but two top-ten hits (more than two decades apart, no less), ponder the origins of the death metal sound, and just try to stay out of the way of the roller derby jammers.  How do you like your TnT?  More, More, More!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyGarfunkel and Oates - Present FaceAndrea True Connection - More, More, MoreSex-O-Rama - The Money ShotJimmy Sturr - Beer Barrel PolkaJobraith - I'm a ManDavid Bowie - RightFixx - Saved by ZeroJim Croce - Roller Derby QueenBlood Spasm - We Got CactusBee Gees - Stayin' AliveBee Gees - MassachusettsKenny Rogers and Dolly Parton - Islands in the StreamAndy Gibb - Shadow DancingBuena Vista Social Club - Chan ChanStan Rogers - Barrett's PrivateersLen - Steal My SunshineBooks:Carrie Harris - Demon Derby
Chaise Longue - Wet Leg

Chaise Longue - Wet Leg

2023-10-3001:02:53

In this episode, the lads kick back (all day long) on Wet Leg's "Chaise Longue." As they consume a six-pack of warm beer, they examine the Sprechgesang  (speak-singing) approach to music and uncover a long history of talk-pop dating back to the 1960s. They also wrestle with life's bigger questions such as: how a chaise longue became a "lounge," the (in)significance of the Grammys, what makes a hit song stand the test of time, and whether or not your muffin is buttered. So quit sitting over there in your underwear, join TnT and get your degree!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyWet Leg - Chaise LongueSpinal Tap Spontaneous Combustion (Video)Jimi Hendrix - All Along the WatchtowerThe Police - Synchronicity IIdles - Model VillageWet Leg - Ur MumWet Leg - Oh NoTaylor Swift - You Need to Calm DownRamones - Judy is a PunkBig Thief - Real LoveWolf Alice - SmileThe Hold Steady - Navy SheetsDry Cleaning - Hot Penny DayPet Shop Boys - West End GirlsCake - The DistanceThe Velvet Underground - Sweet JaneJohnny Cash - The Ballad of Ira HayesPavement - StereoLou Reed - Coney Island BabyLeonard Cohen - Closing TimeThe Fall - Totally WiredThe Stranglers - PeachesDry Cleaning - Scratchcard LanyardBlack Flag - DepressionBest of Henry Rollins (Video)Laurie Anderson - Speak My LanguageRadiohead - MyxomatosisConnect with us:Instagram
Canon in D - Pachelbel

Canon in D - Pachelbel

2023-10-0456:32

In this episode, the boyz go for baroque and bet the pot on Pachelbel's smash 1680 hit Canon in D.  With the stakes high, the lads call the bluff of the artists who have incorporated Pachelbel's Canon into their music, up the ante on the idea of a collective unconscious, and are all-in on the importance of being in the right frame of mind to truly appreciate a work of art.  With their cards on the table, Ty calls out Tom's pronunciation of "mauve," but Tom keeps his pokerface, knowing he has an ace-in-the-hole with his cup of Red Rose tea.  Who rakes in the chips?  Tune in and find out...Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyPalliard - Canon in D - Arthur Fielder - Sleigh Ride Vangelis - Chariots of FireAphrodite's Child - Rain and TearsDémis Roussos - Forever and EverTop Pops - Oh Lord, Why Lord?Parliament - Oh Lord, Why Lord?Bob Marley - No Woman No CryAlphaville - Forever YoungTwisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take ItU2 - With Or Without YouBeatles - Let It BeMaroon 5 - MemoriesBuddy Emmons - Canon in DRaf - Self-ControlBeatles - BecauseBach - "Bouree"Beatles - BlackbirdWalter Murphy - A Fifth of BeethovenGustav Holst - MarsBlack Sabbath - Black SabbathGodspeed You!

This week, the boyz take a trip down the Old Town Road to Baseball Country with special guest Bryan Ruby, professional ball player and up-and-coming country phenom. Along the way, the trio discuss the true meaning of country, songs that come out of left field, and the arduous climb to recognition in the music industry. With the bases loaded they pay homage to the legendary John Fogerty and watch Bryan hit it out of the park with his brand new rockin' cover of Centerfield.

In this episode, the lads revisit the summer of '91 and marvel at the gathering storm that will change music forever.  The bleach-blonde remnants of hair-metal are blown into the gutter of Sunset Strip, making way for the arrival of grunge, funk-rock, and heavier genre-bending possibilities.

Hurt - Johnny Cash

Hurt - Johnny Cash

2023-07-1156:35

In this episode the boys untangle the knots surrounding the unlikely pairing of Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash. Despite initial mistrust on both sides, the Reznor-penned "Hurt" takes on new depth and meaning sung through Cash's deep bass. Making it all happen, Rick Rubin walks the line with gentle persistence proving the power of a producer, as Mark Romanek completes the ring of fire with his emotionally-charged video. And if that weren't enough, Ozzy makes an appearance proving that anyone can fly high again with the right guidance and a bit of Calamine lotion! Join the high rollers as they descend into the downward spiral and emerge unscathed, save a mild case of poison ivy.Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through Technology"The Peace of Wild Things" by Wendell Berry, A Poetry Film by Charlotte Ager & Katy WangKate & Anna McGarrigle - The Log Driver’s WaltzStyx - Mr. RobotoJohnny Cash - HurtNine Inch Nails - HurtNine Inch Nails - Head Like a HoleRed Hot Chili Peppers - Give it AwayWaylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson - HighwaymanJohnny Cash - Personal JesusJohnny Cash - The Beast in MeJohnny Cash - Tennessee StudBonnie “Prince” Billy - Hard LifeStrawberry Fields Forever (isolated mellotron part)Elliott Smith - King’s CrossingJohnny Cash - Hurt (Video) Johnny Cash - Hurt Behind the Scenes (Video)Ozzy Osbourne - Flying High AgainJohnny Cash on the Hurt VideoConnect with us:Twitter
In this episode, the dudes take it to the max and travel to LA's San Fernando Valley where they rock out to Frank & Moon Zappa's totally tubular 1982 hit "Valley Girl."  After stopping by Ridgemont high for their goat yoga class, they ponder the deeper question of "does art imitate life, or does life imitate Zappa?"  Join the boyz as they embark on what promises to be the most paused podcast in history.  Gnarly, dude!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyFrank Zappa - Valley GirlFrank Zappa - The Jazz Discharge Party HatsSurvivor - Eye of the TigerSex-O-Rama - The Money ShotBridgette Bardot - Je t'aime...mon non plusDeep Purple - Smoke on the WaterThe Byrds - Turn, Turn, TurnDweezil Zappa - MontanaFrank Zappa - Ya HoznaTim Curry - Sweet TransvestiteBuffalo Tom - Staples

Mr. Roboto - Styx

2023-05-2901:06:51

In this episode Tom and Ty sit down for a late-night session and attempt to decipher the strangeness that is Styx's 1983 sci-fi classic, Mr. Roboto. With their beer goggles on, they prove that they are just men whose circumstances went beyond their control: Tom flees for Panama on a horse with no name on the run from those Damn Yankees while Ty searches for a heart of gold, only to discover his moonlight desires. Join the humanoids as they try to unpack whether machines will save our lives or if they dehumanize. Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyTom T.

Parlez-vous français, y'all?  This week, join les garçons as they take a trip to Belgium where they rock out to Plastic Bertrand's unique 1978 hit (along with its evil English twin). Along the way, they examine the unlikely connections between punk and surf music, marvel at the wonder of the wah wah, and bring closure to a 50-year misunderstanding between two guitar legends.  As if that weren't enough, Tom finally becomes "experienced" and the boyz get into a complicated Ménage à trois with none other than Brigitte Bardot..or was it (gulp)...the Singing Nun?  No square heads allowed on this one, you cheeky monkeys!Songs:Plastic Bertrand -Ça plane pour moiThe Singing Nun - DominiqueBridgette Bardot - Je t'aime...mon non plusREM - It's the End of the World as We Know ItElton Motello - Jet Boy Jet GirlThe pUKES - Jet Boy Jet GirlMina Mercury - Jet Boy Jet GirlRamones - Sheena is a Punk RockerRamones - Rockaway BeachDick Dale - Mr. EliminatorLink Wray - RumbleLink Wray - Ace of SpadesCramps - Sunglasses After DarkDead Kennedys - Holiday in CambodiaJimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?Sex-O-Rama - The Money ShotDavid Bowie - Suffragette CityPete Drake - ForeverGrupo de Experimentación Sonora - Cuba va!

In this episode, the boyz bite off more than they can chew as they delve into some, shall we say, tender topics?  Join T & T as they examine the Buoys' surprise 1971 hit "Timothy" and the consequences of trying (and failing) to get your own song banned.  Along the way, they ponder the nature of fear and horror, reel at the medicalization of society, and converse with....trees?  Bon appetit!Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyThe Buoys - TimothyRupert Holmes - Escape (The Piña Colada Song)Rammstein - Mein TeilHall and Oates - ManeaterWeddings, Parties, Anything - A Tale They Won't BelieveMötorhead - Eat the RichCannibal Corpse - GuttedFine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me CrazyDrake - God's PlanPhoebe Bridgers - KillerTalking Heads - Psycho Killer
For this episode Tom gets on the rock'n'roll pulpit and preaches the TnT gospel as Ty removes water from the bottom of the ocean. As the boys dissect the Talking Heads classic Once in a Lifetime, they marvel at the genre-bending nature of this song which features one of the most iconic bass parts in music history, a 2-note stroke of genius. You may find yourself in an eastern Kentucky trailer, or you may find yourself freezing your ass off in Ottawa, you may ask yourself "how did I get here?"...but regardless of where you find yourself, join the lads for this once in a lifetime experience...same as it ever was!Songs:The Killjoys - Sick Of YouJon Spencer & The Hitmakers - Death RayTalking Heads - Once In A LifetimeTalking Heads - I ZimbraTalking Heads - Once In A Lifetime Bass StemBrian Eno & David Byrne - The Jezebel SpiritPolyrhythm Demonstration (Video)Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime Vocals StemThe Velvet Underground - What Goes OnTalking Heads - Psycho KillerTalking Heads - Burning Down The HouseMarisa Monte (Featuring David Byrne) - Waters Of MarchT-Rex - Telegram SamGary Oldman - My WayTalking Heads - Don't Worry About The GovernmentParliament - Chocolate CityDown And Out In Beverley Hills TrailerKermit The Frog - Once In A LifetimeDavid Boon - Once In A LifetimeFront 242 - Hey PoorMartin Luther King Junior's Last Speech (Video)T.L.

In this episode Ty takes a break from teaching Tom to sing and focuses his efforts on world peace and harmony, with a lemon twist. As the boyz delve into the New Seeker's "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" made famous by Coca-Cola, they discuss the fine line between making a living in the music industry and selling out. In the process they question the legitimacy of a message delivered by your corporate sponsor and grapple with the deeper question of whether a harmony can exist without a melody. Grab yourself a cold one but stay away from the home brew cause there ain't nothing like the real thing!  Come and sing in perfect harmony...with TnT.Songs:Reverb Syndicate - Better Dancing Through TechnologyDolly Parton - 9 to 5New Seekers - I'd Like to Teach the World to SinHollies - Long Cool Woman in a Black DressDavid and Jonathan - Lovers of the World UniteFortunes - You've Got Your TroublesFortunes - Here Comes that Rainy Day Feeling AgainKinks - Lola (Coca-Cola version)Kinks - Lola (cherry cola version)Neil Young - Unknown LegendCaetano Veloso - Alegria AlegriaFeist - 1234Rush - YYZQueens of the Stone Age - MexicolaKathleen Edwards - Sweet Lil DuckTalking Heads - Love for SaleNeil Young and the Bluenotes - This Note's For You

2023-01-1601:11:22

In our first Listener's Pick edition of the podcast, the boys look into the remarkable success of Tubthumping by Anarcho-punk pranksters Chumbawamba. In the process they enter a spirited discussion of whether politics has any place in popular music and whether massive commercial success taints the revolutionary message.

In this special holiday edition of the podcast, David Bowie descends from Mars and gives a lesson on the true spirit of Christmas. Joining forces with Bing Crosby, the Ghost of Christmas Past himself, the two conjure up one of the most unlikely (and perhaps surreal) Christmas classics of all time. Along the way, the fellas are joined by special guests Mariah Carey, The Pogues, Mötorhead, The Kinks, Krampus and many others in this all-time holiday classic. The Grinch also makes a special appearance, taking aim at some Christmas turkeys from the past, including Paul McCartney's steaming yule log "Wonderful Christmastime".
