Mike & Dave Hit the Stage

working late at night is a completely different world and experience. Time doesn't function the way you expect it to, there are long gaps where you think so much time has passed and the hands on the clock are stuck in place. The kind of women you meet at 3am are not the kind of women you want to admit to having met, and the music hits differently before sunrise.   Working the Night Shift playlist

whose idea was this? oh, that's right. Mike and Canadian Mark had the genius idea to make us listen to AOR. don't know what AOR is, come and listen to find out.   AOR BS playlist

Why? How? When? These are some of the stupidest questions we will answer this week. do you believe in aliens? do you think they've been in contact with us? what's with all the butt stuff?   Storm Area 51 playlist

How many times are we gonna do 80's lists? apparently at least 3 so far. The decade gave us so many great songs that it bears rehashing and exploring again and again and again.   80's part 3.... we think? playlist

Is there something in the air? Something in the water? What is it about Florida that makes people lose their minds? Bath salts, the gators, the sun, who knows what causes it.   Florida man playlist

Singles are one thing, but there is something about a complete album that is pure magic. Sean Jumps in for Mike to go into why LPs with their side A and Side B are just a better way to experience music

What happens when you outshine the original? When you cover a song, and put your own spin on it, do you ever imagine it overshadowing what came before it? Sean jumps in for Mike on this very special episode.   Covers that are better than the original playlist

Barefoot on stage? are you mad? some people can't give the same performance with a shirt on, feeling like they're being held back. some people don't wear shoes. here we look at these interesting people and their unique on-stage fashion choices.   No shirt, No shoes, No Service playlist

does one recommendation lead to another? One good song reminding you of another classic song or band.   if you like blank, then you'll like blank playlist

this is where the hatred takes root. Where we voice our distaste for some truly horrible bands and songs. Are we just doing this to annoy each other? Absolutely.   Let the hatred flow playlist

100 Episodes in and the non-violence clause is still in effect. we celebrate our first 100 run and start the clock on the next 100.

Have you ever tried to lift one of these things? you'll blow an O-ring trying to get it out of the trunk if it even fits in there. It's amazing how much crap we have to lug just to be the easily ignored. and bass solos are not cool!!!   It's hard to fit a bass amp in a small car playlist

How much more different can you take? I say "take it all" we have stuff you would never expect from us. with stories to add to the weirdness and a record amount of time spent on the first song.   and now for something completely different playlist

Music from around the world and it sounds just as sweet in some cases. in other cases its a just another bag of garbage in a different language.   International Incident playlist

Why would you name yourselves that? How could you think that would fit the musical style you chose? This time we look at bands whose names don't fit them at all really.   Wrong Band Name playlist

There's something about how a song can make a movie feel all the more immersive. The way it can take hold in your mind and etch a permanent memory, something that can never be erased. An image caught in time.   Movie Soundtrack classics playlist

There's something special about the last song, it's finality of the artists work. it may very well be their last song. you never know. we look at how artists choose to end their albums. is it with a sense of hope, despair, rage, or something more introspective?   last song on the album playlist

Yelling fire in a crowded theater is obviously dangerous, which also makes it illegal. There's legal ramifications for inciting panic in a public space. this list has almost nothing to do with that notion. this is songs about fire. we are morons. nothing we say should be taken as a good idea Yelling fire in a crowded theater playlist  

In a return to the absurd, we look at songs about weather. Did you know that Mike went to Virginia and thought he was in mortal danger?   Unusual weather We're having playlist

Well, we're just breaking all the rules. We said "No politics, No religion" and I guess we lied. We talk about song based in belief or disbelief. We also really go deep into our own beliefs and feelings. This isn't a laugh riot and for that we are sorry, but we had to get it out.   We're not gonna talk about religion playlist

Hiraeth - a deep, inborn sense of yearning for a home, a feeling, a place or a person that is beyond this place of existence. this episode is not about that, we just wanted to seem smart.

who is lurking in the dark? who's watching you when you are all alone? these monsters have been talked about over and over but we rarely recognize the way they have impacted the arts. Whether it's pop art or music. the multiple murderers have changed the landscape forever.   serial killers playlist

what is there to say about war? well, we don't really say it at all. surprise, surprise, we don't exactly know what we're doing at any given time. tangents are aplenty and sarcasm is on tap. we are also monumental dolts.   war! what is it. yadda yadda yadda playlist
