  • Tubular Bells (Pt. 1) - Theme From "The Exorcist"
    Apr 10 2024

    In this episode, the lads become possessed by the unnerving creepiness of Mike Oldfield's unlikely hit "Tubular Bells", the theme music from the 1973 horror classic The Exorcist. Thankfully, special guest Joseph Trivers performs a successful exorcism on the dreadful scene, through his exploration of minimalist music and the mechanics of how it confounds, delights, and offers unforeseen avenues of expression. Join the trio for a totally tubular episode of TnT.

  • More, More, More - Andrea True Connection
    Nov 22 2023

    Join the lads as they put on their skates and travel back to the roller disco era, grooving to the melodious tones of the Andrea True Connection's "More, More, More." As they try to keep their balance, the boyz marvel at the crisis turned opportunity that spawned not one but two top-ten hits (more than two decades apart, no less), ponder the origins of the death metal sound, and just try to stay out of the way of the roller derby jammers. How do you like your TnT? More, More, More!

  • Chaise Longue - Wet Leg
    Oct 30 2023

    In this episode, the lads kick back (all day long) on Wet Leg's "Chaise Longue." As they consume a six-pack of warm beer, they examine the Sprechgesang (speak-singing) approach to music and uncover a long history of talk-pop dating back to the 1960s. They also wrestle with life's bigger questions such as: how a chaise longue became a "lounge," the (in)significance of the Grammys, what makes a hit song stand the test of time, and whether or not your muffin is buttered. So quit sitting over there in your underwear, join TnT and get your degree!

  • Canon in D - Pachelbel
    Oct 4 2023

    In this episode, the boyz go for baroque and bet the pot on Pachelbel's smash 1680 hit Canon in D. With the stakes high, the lads call the bluff of the artists who have incorporated Pachelbel's Canon into their music, up the ante on the idea of a collective unconscious, and are all-in on the importance of being in the right frame of mind to truly appreciate a work of art. With their cards on the table, Ty calls out Tom's pronunciation of "mauve," but Tom keeps his pokerface, knowing he has an ace-in-the-hole with his cup of Red Rose tea. Who rakes in the chips? Tune in and find out...
