This week we are coming to you live from Jerome, AZ. Okay.  We aren’t.  We would have loved to have made the trip and recorded live in the sliding jail, but we can’t afford those things.  So instead, we just talk to you about the song “Jerome”  Jerome  Appearances  What is Jerome?  Jerome Is there really a sliding jail?  Jerome’s Sliding Jail – Jerome, Arizona – Atlas Obscura  Making of Jerome (on...

I have a new title. I was just elected the Wizard of Magicland.  But if you ever wondered before who that is, well, I can tell you now that it’s only me.  I’m the one and only.  But this week, we are not the only podcast talking about this song. Our friends over at “Barenaked Ladies are Us” podcast are joining us to discuss this deep cut. (and somehow we all missed mentioning the grunt at the begi...

We’re at episode 150.  Is there anything original for us to say?  Or have we said it all before?  I think we have an original take on this song, so we’ll prove Steven wrong, that it hasn’t all been done.  And who better to join us on such a discussion than the pop culture anthropologist, Allison McBride?   Appearance  Title song for Baby Blues TV show  It’s All Been Done with David Duchovny playin...

Sorry for that incredibly annoying screeching sound.  I’m sure you were asking “Is a crow being strangled somewhere?”  You really should have asked “Is somebody singing?” because the answer is “yes… it was me”.  Luckily I don’t sing this week, but listen to us discuss BNL singing with Chris Hadfield, as we talk with writer/actor Jimmy Kustes.  Live performance of ISS  See Jimmy’s movie at: www.bod...

You know what BNL needs. An Indy Car. And over the radio, they need to play one song. This week’s song. The whole race. That guy will drive so fast to get out of the car. But is that just from the monotony or because this week’s song is that bad? And does Ali McBride agree with us? Listen to find out “In The Car” online  Appearance  BNL had their own stock car (#29 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet Monte Ca...

That’s right. We didn’t talk about this quintessential song enough last week, so we invited Steffan and Jeff to join us this week for their opinions.

This week we discuss the multiple implications that could have been Steve Squared’s inspiration for this song.
