Jason and Jon return for this very special holiday episode of SP - A to Z. They catch up on all things SP, including the Spirits on Fire tour and ATUM. They discuss a few songs that slipped through the cracks and let listeners know about the future(embrace) of the podcast... some might say this is the last song they'll sing for you.
They said it couldn't be done, but Jason and Jon finish up the alphabet in this 105th episode of SP - A to Z. They discuss all the Y songs and then all the Z songs, pick their faves from several albums, and reflect on what a long, strange, tra-tra-tra-trip it's been. This take, don't give a f*ck. Thanks for listening!
In this jam-packed episode, Jason and Jon tackle all the X songs, including a MCIS epic, an acoustic live track, a studio outtake, a live medley, and much, much, much more!
Jason and Jon finish up the letter W and still manage to get confused about whether or not they should pick a least favorite song from the batch! Along the way, they discuss a Chicagokid song with several versions, a Mashed Potatoes track, a Machina fave with a surprising connection to the first song ever discussed on the podcast, and two CYR tracks.
Jason and Jon discuss five songs that all begin with "with," including a Machina gem, a Gravity Demo (the final one!), one of Jon's faves from SAOSB Vol. 1, and more!
Jason and Jon continue through the letter W and discuss five rather mellow tunes, including the closing track on Oceania, a Gish fave, a song from James Iha's first solo album, a rarity with several incarnations, and an MCIS demo that may have had a second life on Adore.
Jason and Jon celebrate this landmark 100th episode of SP - A to Z with the third special episode devoted to CYR! Thanks for listening! We, like strawberries, love you!
On this 99th episode of SP - A to Z, Jason and Jon discuss a classic Siamese Dream outtake, an obscure song used in a film that no one seems to know much about, a pair of Chicagokid songs, the rawest track off Machina II, and a little Teargarden track that Jon wants to write a whole 33 1/3 book about!
Jason and Jon continue through the W's with this question word-focused episode. Lots of great songs in this batch, including back-to-back Zwan, a rare power-trio tune, an MCIS classic, a mysterious "outtake," and the SP jam to end all SP jams!
Jason and Jon continue through the W's and discuss a somewhat odd batch of songs in this episode, including a Starchildren jam that has unexpected connections to proper SP songs, a Djali Zwan tune from the "Spun" soundtrack, a James Iha-penned SP track from 1991, and much more!
Hot on the heels of the 16th anniversary of the release of TheFutureEmbrace, Jason and Jon begin their journey through the letter W, and end the episode on the first single from BC's first solo album. Before that, they discuss a little Djali Zwan and a whole lot of "Waiting."
Jason and Jon take on all of the songs that start with the letter V from the Billy Corgan songbook. In this rarities-heavy episode, they talk demos from different eras, a jam from the 666 tape, and 1 album track that gets Jon cursing the name of a prominent music blog.
Jason and Jon discuss all of the "U" songs in one go! Instrumentals, epics, uglies, and untitleds abound!
Jason and Jon finish up the letter T on this "literary" episode. Stick around to hear them pick their favorite (and least favorite) T songs. I've got to know, I've got know, I've got to know, I've got to know....
Jason and Jon are joined by friend of the pod and songwriter extraordinaire Joe Bourdet to discuss a wide range of SP/BC songs, including one that sounds Jon and Joe on a tr-tr-tr-trip down memory lane. You'll hear Joe's new single, "Songbird Revisited," off his forthcoming album "Meadow Rock." To pre-order, check out: https://joebourdet.bandcamp.com/
Jason and Jon continue their trip through the letter T! They talk Adore (and pick their favorite and least favorite tracks from the album), Zwan, Teargarden, and two variations on an MCIS classic for the ages.
Join us for a very special episode, as Jason and Jon discuss five songs off the most recent SP record, CYR!
Jason and Jon cover a lot of ground in this episode, from the only b-side for TheFutureEmbrace, a Siamese Dream staple, an understated MCIS tune, an acoustic Zwan track available only on DVD, and the first song on Cotillions (which is also the last song on Cotillions for this podcast to cover).
Jason and Jon continue through the letter T and discuss some heavy hitters on this episode! Listen as they discuss a group of songs that will almost surely include their respective favorite T songs... but what songs will that be? Only time will tell...
Jason and Jon discuss a handful of T songs, including a tune rejected by David Lynch, a curious oddity that no one seems to know how to properly listen to, a polarizing (?) CYR number, a Zeitgeist classic, and an early demo that resurfaced some 20 years later.
