Strong SongsApril Makes Fools of Us AllOn this episode... a prank.April Fools’ Day has run its course, which means it’s time to update this episode description to accurately reflect what’s in the episode. Hopefully this joke made some listeners laugh, and didn't ruffle too many feathers.The actual full episode on Miles Davis’s “So What” should be live as of this update, and next in your feed.To give credit where it's due:Song: "Never Gonna Give You Up"Artist: Rick AstleyAlbum: Whenever You Need Somebody (1987)Written by...2020-04-0110 minStrong Songs"Toss a Coin to Your Witcher" from The WitcherWhat's that you say? You'd like a bonus mini-episode all about the cheeseball fantasy earworm "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher"? Well, Kirk is happy to oblige.This mini-sode started as a segment in next week's mailbag episode, but it became involved enough that Kirk decided to spin it out into its own little thing. Hopefully it gives all you Witcher fans out there a better appreciation for why you can't get this song out of your head, and if it gets the song BACK in your head in the process... well, sorry. Or maybe you're welcome?2020-02-1016 minStrong Songs"Lovefool" by The CardigansYou don't have to cry, pray, or beg - Kirk is happy to break down one of the 90s' most iconic pop hits without any further encouragement.Yes, it's time to take apart The Cardigans' 1996 hit "Lovefool," a song that sounds one way when it's that Romeo + Juliet song that's on the radio all the time, and another way when it's the centerpiece of First Band on the Moon. Kirk zooms out a bit more than usual to place this song in the context of its (fantastic) corresponding album, and to hopefully help everyone better appreciate the...2020-01-2249 min
Strong Songs"Kiss From a Rose" by SealThere is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say... especially if that man is named Kirk, and the thing he's telling you about is Seal's "Kiss From a Rose." Kirk goes back to the 90s for a close look at Seal's Grammy-winning, Batman-adjacent power ballad and finds a song that's much more interesting than he even remembered. It's an indulgent world of thick counterpoint, long phrases, harp flourishes, and oboe solos, with some of the richest vocal arranging this side of a chamber choir.Band/Artist: SealAlbum: Seal II, 1994...2019-10-1652 minStrong Songs"Paranoid Android" by RadioheadBrace for a pressurized descent, as Kirk braves the undercurrents of Radiohead's alt-rock masterpiece "Paranoid Android." It's a structurally distinct, sonically adventurous, harmonically varied, and unexpectedly Bohemian Rhapsodyesque journey into the human psyche as Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and the rest of their not-so-merry band plumb the depths of 90s alienation.Band/Artist: RadioheadAlbum: OK Computer, 1997Composed by: Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Colin Greenwood, Philip SelwayListen/Buy via Album.LinkALSO REFERENCED/DISCUSSED:"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen"Fitter Happier" from OK Computer"Hyper Music"...2019-07-2455 min
