This One Goes to 11

Brush up your Irish brogues, y'all. This week Kerstin Vaughn is taking us to church as she makes a case for the 2014 eponymous debut album from Hozier. It's an album that may have caused her to wrestle with her Christian upbringing, and to that we say, "Welcome to group!" She talks about her family's eclectic listening habits, her transition from band geek to theatre geek, an...

Go ahead, you can laugh all you want. We were never cool in school, but we sure as hell hope you remember us. We are back, booked, blessed, and in the same room together for our first episode of season 9! And we're talking with OUR favorite piano man - Aaron Aptaker - about HIS favorite piano man and the eponymous debut album from Ben Folds Five. (Which might not really be an eponymous album,...

One more look back (but certainly not in anger) before we officially break for the summer! This week, Tyler shares a bit of what he loved most about the first 100 episodes, presents some curated back catalog clips, and calls out the albums he thinks you need to listen to right now. Cheers to y'all once again, thanks so much for listening. Onward and upward, I say. You can also find this episod...

Before we go on hiatus for the summer, we're each looking back on the first 100 episodes. This week it's Michael's turn, and he's taking you on a walking tour of Canton, New York, as he remembers some of his favorite moments on the podcast. Also, and this is totally unrelated, did you know he likes Pearl Jam? You can also find this episode on our  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube channel...

In Part 2 of the celebration of our 100th episode, we get up to more hijinks with our buddy Ashlyn Lozano! We look to the future and discuss our vision of where we’d like to go next with the pod. There might also be some mention of a few of our dream guests?? And we officially, jointly nominate Queens of the Stone Age’s “Songs for the Deaf” for inclusion in the pantheon. Ash is a loyal listener an...

Man, it’s a milestone day! 100 freaking episodes. Time really has flown since we started chatting music with y’all. We’ve loved every minute so far. As such, we are marking the occasion with our very first VIDEO EPISODE. Your boys are catching up with the times. I’m no Thelma Schoonmaker so goodness knows the video editing will be a little rough around the edges. But fear not, I intend to sharpen...

On this week’s very special episode of This One Goes to 11, Michael and Tyler welcome DJ Jeff Tammy into the virtual living room. You do not want to miss this one. This episode also comes as a playlist on our  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .

We just couldn't make it to episode 100 without covering one more musical. We're theatre boys, after all. So we invited Mike's dear college friend Madelaine Strickland to make a case for the soundtrack to a very contemporary musical - Lempicka by Carson Kreitzer and Matt Gould. Never heard of it? Not surprised. It didn't last 2 months on Broadway. But Madelaine thinks it deserved b...

We've been covering quite a few female artists this season, but finally, at long last, we have arrived at the Queen of Lilith Fair herself - Sarah McLachlan - and her early 90s masterpiece "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy." (Which is NOT the one with the song that plays in all those commercials with the neglected puppies.) Our guest? Arguably better than ice cream. It's Chicago-based mu...

We're back with some bonus content. This time we're talking with Mars Wolfe about the album that kicked off the pandemic for so many music enthusiasts out there - "The Slow Rush" by Tame Impala. Theme music composed by  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Damien Figueras⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ . Got a question, comment, or suggestion?

Well hello there, ya made it back for another edition of This One Goes to 11, did ya? We’re darn glad ya did. We quite enjoy making this piece of podcasting for you. It’s a good thing in my life. This is Tyler, btw! Michael and I split up editing duties and I edited Mars’s episode. (Michael’s better at editing than I am, for surrrre. I’m not mad about it! He's a wizard.) But I digress. MARS WO...

It took us 95 episodes, but at long last, we're tackling a country album. Or are we? Who cares, y'all? Because we've got the Spotify-proclaimed dancing queen herself - the hilarious Julianne Lang - and she's here to talk about The Chicks' "Wide Open Spaces." She's also here to deliver a stirring rendition of the bridge of her standout track, to tell you the correc...

Our newest segment is back! This week Krissy Vanderwarker has a thing or two to say about the deliciously queer cotton candy of Chappell Roan's "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess." Theme music composed by  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Damien Figueras⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ . Got a question, comment, or suggestion?

When I tell people about this podcast, there are some names that just keep coming up when people say “Oh cool, has anyone talked about XYZ??” And the artist we’re talking about this week is one of our MOST requested. Yep, that’s right we’re finally talking about the one and only Fiona Apple and her stunning debut album “Tidal”! And who, you might ask, is taking up the task of arguing this album’s...

It felt right to bring another member of the Cherubs family onto the pod this season, so we invited multi-hyphenate theatre artist Tim Giles to make a case for Haim's debut album - Days Are Gone - to join the pantheon. He talks about meeting this album around the same time he met his wife, blaring this album through car speakers in the summer, and embracing this album's 80s pop sound. He a...

SURPRISE! We've got something new for you. It's our newest special segment - 1 That Got Away - where we give one of our guests the chance to make a case for one of the other albums on their list. This week our buddy Nate Simpson sleazes things up with LCD Soundsystem's "Sound of Silver" - an album so good that it closed out his wedding. Theme music composed by  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Y’all. We love all of our guests but this one’s one of those damn special ones! Nathan Simpson. Pink Floyd. The Dark Side of the Moon. I mean, come on. Nate is one of Tyler’s very best friends. He is a supremely talented, charismatic artist and just an absolute top-shelf-caliber human being. He brings us one of those truly toppest shelf albums too. Pink Floyd have been on our “highly anticipated”...

Those other music podcasts out there? They don't love you like we love you. And we were happy to make time for our new friend - and this week's guest - Gabbie from New Bands for Old Heads. She brought us back to the dawn of Urban Outfitters profiting off of the art-rock indie-sleaze movement of the early 2000s with 2003's debut album from Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell . We talk about...

This week on TOGT11, we give a warm welcome to Tyler’s buddy and former classmate, a mensch, a real “wife guy” - ladies and germs we give you Joseph Ruiz!   And he of the eclectic tastes brought us an album and artist *neither* of us had ever heard of before. You know we LIVE for that. Have you heard of Austin-based outlaw-esque, Americana-ish singer-songwriter David Ramirez and his 2015 album “Fa...

WE'RE BACK! And though we may not be in black, we are decidedly thunderstruck by our first guest of season 8. This week we're talking about AC/DC's 1978 album "Powerage" with real live rockstar Mike Maple of the band Liquid Mike , whose killer 2024 album "Paul Bunyan's Slingshot" earned them write-ups in Rolling Stone , Consequence , and Stereogum . (It's legit, y'all.) This might not be the album...

Note: This trailer is best appreciated on VIDEO! We've got something big to celebrate this season! And no, we're not starting an OnlyFans. Tune in to see/hear what we've got in store. Theme music composed by  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Damien Figueras⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ . Got a question, comment, or suggestion?

To celebrate the holidays, we invited back Allison Heishman to talk about the 1979 Christmas album the Muppets made with John Denver - A Christmas Together . But honestly it was just an excuse to embrace our inner chaos and talk about the Muppets for an hour. We hope you enjoy. Happy holidays! Tell us who YOUR Muppet 3 are in the comments. (Or help us figure out who sings each of the verses on the...

It’s that time of year again: a chill in the air, lights strung up with care, Spotify Wrapped getting roasted over an open fire. Which means it also must be time for our annual roundup of our favorite songs and albums of the year! Join us as we present and noodle on the tunes that stuck with us the most in 2024. Our choices are supremely *us*. Plus there’s a bit of resolution making and some festi...

It's the season finale, dear listeners! And what better way to close out our pretty folk-heavy season than by chatting with the Head Cherub himself - George Keating - about Peter, Paul, and Mary's live 1967 recordings from Japan. Best known for their recordings of songs like "Puff the Magic Dragon," "If I Had a Hammer," and "Leaving on a Jet Plane," Peter, Paul, and Mary clearly have lifetime memb...
