We're back! With a new season and everything!!

This season, we'll be taking a look through a variety of tunes as Steve tries to determine his 100 favorite albums, from the most critically acclaimed classic albums to the least essential pop punk one-hit wonders. On the first episode, we talk the greatest live album of all time, the varied career of AFI, how Gorillaz handle impending climate change, and how to possibly get into Coheed and Cambria without getting bogged down in lore.

Hey everyone. No new episode this week due to scheduling issues. Luckily, though, we forgot to post about last week's episode. We have always promised to never get better at this and we will continue to make good on that.

Last week, Chris Fox of Ruby Bones (as well as our theme song) joined us to talk about some famous, infamous, and sometimes outright forgotten disco songs. The catch: these were not made by disco artists, but instead other popular artists trying to cash in on the trend. Are they any good? Listen here to find out for yourself: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-mix/id1149672766?i=1000513900754

We'll be back next week with our season finale, we got some fun crazy stuff planned for that. In addition, we'll be sharing some tunes throughout the week. This season was all about reevaluating music with poor reputations. To see how it turned out, we'll be posting some of our favorite songs we listened to this season... and some of the worst. 😈

On this week's episode of In the Mix, Steve and David are joined by another Dave to get into the political...music that is! From a spectrum of songs from the 70s to now, the trio dissect, deconstruct, and ponder on just what the heck political songs really got to say, the context of their releases, and most importantly, if any of them are any good. Take a nice big ol' listen.

Do you remember a time in your life where you thought rap should be spelled 'crap' and pop was for babies? And there was nothing better than the sweet angst of some middle aged bland dudes singing about how hardcore they were over generic rock instrumentals? Well, sounds like you might have been infected by the Butt Rock bug!

On today's episode of ITM, David and Steve come together to give a nice re-examination of all that 'hard rock' music that seemed so popular in the late 90s and 00s and try to determine if there was any gold in-between all that anger and post-grunge grime. At the very least, everyone needs to experience 'Bad Girlfriend.' It is beyond terrible.

Do you remember those New Age-y ambient albums from the 90s? Did your parents own several Enya albums? Does your brain vaguely recall songs of Celtic and Peruvian inspiration? If so, you're probably remembering some PURE MOODS baby!

On this week's episode of In the Mix, David and Steve are joined by Bill Lambusta and Brian Erick to discuss those worldbeat and soft ambient music that was so popular in the 80s and 90s and figure out if there was anything worth listening to. Have a download won't you?

Everyone knows Jimmy Buffett in some sense. He's the king of island time. He loves cheeseburgers. His fans call themselves 'parrotheads.' But for the uninitiated, do you really know Jimmy Buffett?

Well, on today's episode, Steve and David decided to finally take a look into this artist's work and see what's what. And boy howdy, did it turn out to be a very surprising journey as Buffett turns out to be a lot more than just freewheeling island tunes. In a career stretching from the 60s to now, the boys take a look at a musician beyond the margaritas and cheeseburgers who's been a little bit country, a little bit folk, a little bit outlaw, a whole lotta melancholy, and always a lot of fun. Take a listen.

Another week, another reevaluation from David and Steve. And this week we have our toughest challenge yet: finding value in the failed attempts at pop stardom from celebrities.

With the help of our friend Lenny Burnham, host of the Chapter Surfing podcast, we listen to some of the most notorious bombs from celebs trying to make it in music and see if any of them are actually good. From socialites to actresses to athletes to whatever you would say Kevin Federline did, we cover them all. Let's find out if stars really are just like us... and if stars really are blind.
