Mike & Dave Hit the Stage

Obvious Goonies reference? Check! Songs about dead things? Check! The worst hat you've ever seen? Double Check!   Dead things Mikey, Dead Things! playlist

this week, we look at beyond the band's biggest song and take a look at not only deep cuts but in some cases a complete change in direction.   Beyond the Hit playlist

Song intros are so important. Too weak and you can't get into the flow of the music. Too strong, and the rest of the song seems to have almost no purpose. we look at interesting, and in some cases, downright amazing intros.    In The Beginning playlist

There's no such thing as "linear thought process" when it comes to Mike and Dave. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it's a complete jumble of information. we look at the non-linear process that these two call "thinking"   Stream of Consciousness playlist

Sometimes a song can turn it all around. When you feel low, it can make the day a little better. When you feel great it can only add to the momentous feeling.  we look at songs that make us feel good or boost our confidence.   Uplift playlist  

Have you ever looked up to the sky at night and wondered what's out there? we talk about the sun, the moon, and the stars and their effect on music and our well being. More insane stories and dare I say, tomfoolery.   Look To The Stars playlist

Have you ever had a Dream so vivid, that waking up was a genuine surprise that it wasn't real? Have you ever had a nightmare that you felt would never end? why is it so hard to remember dreams? none of these questions will be answered this week, but more will be raised.   Dreams vs Nightmares playlist

sometimes a cover is just what you needed. hearing a fresh take on a song you may have heard hundreds of times can give it a fresh feeling. Sometimes that old house needs  a fresh coat of paint. here we judge of the cover does justice to the original. is it possible for the cover to be better than the original? I guess you'll have to listen and find out   We've got you covered playlist

magical, mystical, erroneous, and other descriptive words. we look a songs about magic and witchcraft and other mystical things. We talk about the power that words give and how they effect us, as well as Dave's expanding waistline.    Spellcasters playlist

we all have met a creep at one time or another. we all have moments of being creepy ourselves. we look at songs that are just plain creepy to hear about, talk about, and listen to. we veer so far off the subject that you'll just love it.    So very creepy playlist

After 8 long months, we are back!!! Not much has changed, but we have so much to catch up on. This time we look at songs that stop and go. we are rusty and easily distracted, give us a break.   Stop and Go playlist

Sometimes, the greatest struggle is within your mind. Sometimes, you simply need to hand out a fresh beating. We look at the struggles in life and how they effect us and the music we enjoy. There are some serious classics on this list that should be celebrated here.    Struggle playlist

Mike doesn't like my Grammar. so here we go. Does something ever disgust you to the point of wanting to puke? Does the world make you feel sick? We look at people who see the world this way and don't know how to change it.    Episode 73 - You make me sick

"Ugh. why is this stuck in my head!" have you ever muttered this to yourself when a song comes on the radio or in the shuffle? you may be entitled to compensation... just kidding these artists made a big splash with one song and then nothing. tangents, goofs, insults and odd movie reviews were on deck this time.    Terrible one hit wonders playlist

Mike is one impatient boy. he decided to start making lists rapid fire and Dave has been trying to keep up. this week, the boys talk about waiting, parking lot etiquette, and of course, food.   Well... We're waiting playlist

After a week off (again), Mike and Dave return to talk about weird loners and whiny musicians. ranting about dead frontmen, goth music and flutes. I don't think anyone reads this anyway.    Antisocial social club playlist

Come on! Of course we are immature. Who would resist using the reference to everyone's favorite number and act? We are surprisingly tame compared to what we could say, but you know it gets crazy.   Episode 69 - nice!

Is the end really nigh? Is it doom for us? Are Mike and Dave breaking up? The answer to all of these questions is no! we look at songs with some real finality, the doom and gloom is in the songs and we are here to celebrate the end. there is also a fair bit of food talk so be wary of listening while hungry.   This is the end playlist

This time on Mike and Dave hit the stage, we look at stress and pressure. some songs about it, and some that make you feel it. Mike is in his car and it is hilarious.    Stress and pressure playlist

It's time to look at awesome female musicians in 2024. we celebrate the fairer sex in style, mostly by making fun of ourselves and showing how amazing these artists truly are. technical difficulties as usual and fun times had by all.    Women in music 2024 playlist

we might be 2 of the least qualified people to talk about freestyle music, yet here we go. The wheels come off fast in this one. We skew from the topic so often and so far we eventually give up on it altogether. Great conversation and hard laughs are had, and the list is secondary.   Freestyle playlist

Inspired by one of our favorite "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" quote, we look at hard and fast songs. some are brutally fast and some are wild and untamed. Dave's audio sounds like absolute trash (New mic being returned immediately) and video is sketchy at best.   Hard and fast playlist

This is our 2024 celebration of black culture in music. we appreciate the style, sophistication, technical ability, and overall foundation of music that black, African-American, POC peoples have brought to music and the arts.    Black History month 2024 playlist

Not much to talk about here, but we have more to talk about than usual. randomness is up and Mike almost gets assaulted. Good time had by all.

There is something so special about live albums. They capture a moment in time that will never happen the same way again. This makes for some really special and personal experiences, and the studio versions are ok too. Man, oh man does the live album feel special.   studio vs live playlist
