Remember that broadway musical about Spider-Man with songs by Bono and The Edge? If not, hear us out: There was a broadway musical about Spider-Man with songs by Bono and The Edge. Keep an open mind; we’re in this together now.

Ralph and Michael have very different opinions about superheroes and very different opinions about musical theater, but they’re doing their best to find some good in the songs from this notoriously troubled production.

Later, we talk to a freelance New York photojournalist with a lot to say about the real Spider-Man. It gets a little tense.

Then, Ralph puts on his Green Goblin costume and performs “A Freak Like Me Needs Company.”

If you’re the sort of person who scoffs at the ever-shifting boogyman of “today’s Country music,” sit down and listen. Clover-Lynn is here to guide Michael and Ralph through two very different examples of contemporary pop-country: Lainey Wilson’s Hillbilly Hippie and HARDY’s The Mockingbird and the Crow.

Why are people so opposed to pop-country? Is it a matter of classism? Is “Americana” just gentrified country? Why do bands in vests inspire skepticism?

Later, Ralph breaks out the banjo and performs “Smell Like Smoke."

Aaron Carnes is back! For a non-ska episode! What’s the deal with this album? Why is it the one Daft Punk album that people don’t adore?

Is this album fun? Is it dark? What was Daft Punk trying to tell us, and were we just not ready to hear it?

Later, Ralph performs “Steam Machine” in the style of Incubus. (It’ll make sense once you hear it.)

Check out Aaron’s book In Defense of Ska and his podcast of the same name.

Miles Davis made a hip-hop record. This should be an easy episode to do, right? I mean, we like Miles Davis. We like hip-hop. But… we also read Miles Davis’ autobiography. This wasn’t the episode we set out to make, but here we are.

We’ve got some stuff to tangle with. And it’s been brewing for some time. Our experience with music is shaped by our ideas about the people who make that music. Your mileage may vary, of course, but we’ve got a lot to unpack here. Bear with us.

On a lighter note, Ralph made a beat for Michael to improvise over. You know, like on Doo-Bop. But things went horribly awry. You’ll see.

Megadeth sure did a thing here. And Megadeth fans sure didn’t like it. But why not? Calibrate your expectations and let us help you find a way to enjoy this thing!

Also in this episode: Ralph and Michael attempt to banter like normal podcasters. And they talk about that movie Highlander, for some reason. But it’s more on-topic than you would think.

Is Risk the perfect album for a day by the pool? Maybe. And maybe that’s the problem: Megadeth fans don’t go swimming enough.

Plus, we read listener mail and Ralph performs “Wanderlust” like you’ve never heard it before!

Ann Powers is here to share her insight into the creative life of Joni Mitchell in the 1980s. We delve into the influence of new musical technology, a shifting musical landscape, and Joni’s romantic and creative partner Larry Klein.

Don’t you think it’s time you checked out some of those Joni Mitchell albums you haven’t heard yet? Start here. Also, check out Ann’s wonderful book Travelling: On The Path of Joni Mitchell.

And welcome back, listener. Thanks for joining us! This is going to be a really good season. We can already tell.

Oh, also in this episode: Ralph performs “The Beat of Black Wings.”

Ralph and Michael have been assigned a Disney tribute album featuring Sun Ra, Tom Waits, Garth Hudson, one of The Beatles, Sinead O'Connor, Bonnie Raitt, Michael Stipe, Herb Alpert, The Replacements, and more.

Hear us out. It's... eerie.

Later, a response from a Disney Adult and the return of Saucy Walter.

Thanks for listening to our second season. We liked making it, and we'll be back soon with our third season. In the meantime, circle back to the episodes you missed and tell your friends about us.

This episode was recorded before we heard the sad news of David Lynch's passing.
