"Violator" by Depeche Mode - with Sam Plattner
Screw It, I'm Just Gonna Talk About Music Or WhateverShow Notes
My brother Sam is here to talk about the 1990 Depeche Mode album "Violator" with me! I talked about that I should listen to this album on the previous episode, and then I did and I freaked out all week. Sam and I go through the album, which somehow includes me playing songs by two artists who are in no way related to Depeche Mode. Also at one point I say something about "when we were a kid" - were Sam and I conjoined or is this something I should take to therapy? You decide!

I'm joined for this episode by my close friend Kate Riley! We each contributed songs whose lyrics strike us as very funny and don't seem to be a joke on purpose (i.e. unintentionally funny). Send us your picks for songs on this theme! Buy Kate's amazing debut novel "Ruth", out 8/19/25!
Back again with more songs that have the same titles but otherwise have nothing in common!
This is a pretty flimsy theme BUT all the songs are good so let's all just cool it. The theme is prepositions. Songs that have prepositions in the title. That's it. Anyway, they're good songs.
We're all gonna die someday! Also it's almost spring, and that's nice.
This is the 50th episode of this podcast! I'm joined by friend Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats, Bonny Light Horseman) to talk about handclaps. We talk about handclaps in the songwriting and recording process, play some of our favorite songs featuring handclaps, and also have a bunch of digressions about other stuff.
