Hi ho! And sorry for the delay! We got this out late because our "editor" was on "holiday vacation" like he "told us about" and couldn't turn it around in two days because we "slacked off on recording until the end of the month again." Anyway, it's The Muppet Movie! With special guest... it's just us. Yayyyy!
2023-07-03 15:49:19 +0000 UTC View PostPickitup pickitup pickitup pickitup. I mean, seriously, pick up your plaid fedora and matching pants because we have a ska matchup! And boy, did those ska bands like covers. So we have two ska covers songs to pit against each other today, which is the best, Save Ferris's "Come on Eileen" or Reel Big Fish's "Take on Me"?
2023-06-30 16:34:18 +0000 UTC View PostIt is the '80s and it is Morning in America! Or is it?? Two legendary rock and roll firebrands are here to tell you that the Reagan era was bad actually, and they're going to kick ass doing so! So which is your favorite anti-American pro-American rock song of the '80s, Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" or Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World"?
2023-06-18 18:22:55 +0000 UTC View PostBelieve it or not, we couldn't get a full podcast out of a ten minute cartoon so we did view some supplemental material.
2023-05-31 19:50:15 +0000 UTC View PostAnd this time I remembered to make it multiple choice!
2023-05-24 23:36:19 +0000 UTC View PostIt is, at last, time to debate the biggest pop stars of 1997. The Backstreet Boys are just minor upstarts. Britney Spears is an unknown. 'N Sync, nowhere to be found. But the late '90s pop explosion is beginning with these two songs. Tell us, now, which is the better pop blockbuster of 1997, "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls or "MMMBop" by Hanson
2023-05-24 21:29:42 +0000 UTC View PostEngland's got a new king! And after watching all that pomp and circumstance, I think it's time that we remind ourselves that Britain is bullshit and we should tear it all down. So which punks rock the River Thames harder? Is it the Sex Pistols bringing "Anarchy in the UK" or The Clash's "London Calling"?
2023-05-12 19:24:53 +0000 UTC View PostApologies for being slightly delayed again, unforeseen circumstances and all that.
2023-05-01 18:56:46 +0000 UTC View PostAs I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize that it's time for a new poll! So what is the best legendary '90s hip-hop track from a young G's perspective? Is it Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre at the door with "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" or is it "Gangsta's Paradise" by the late great Coolio? The way things are goin', I don't know!
2023-04-27 17:35:40 +0000 UTC View PostOur $20 patrons picked the options and you choose the winner! Which will be podcast! (Sorry, repost because one of the options was accidentally omitted)
2023-04-22 17:51:36 +0000 UTC View PostIn the '80s the art-pop hipsters became big MTV stars! Which of these legendary new wave tracks is your favorite, Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" or Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House"?
2023-04-14 03:25:48 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the delay! Due to a lot of reasons -- the length of the viewing, Todd's illness, our audio editor was out of town -- this is a tiny bit late, but here it is!
2023-04-04 04:09:37 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome back to Song vs Song's Monthly Music Club, where we share actual new music we like every month. That’s right! New music! Did you know new music is still coming out? It is! Every day!
Oops, it's the end of March and a lot of the music I'd planned on recommending has gotten tons of press at this point. It's all still in the playlist, but I'll try to mostly hone in...
2023-03-25 13:24:35 +0000 UTC View PostPop divas in the '00s want you to know that they're still real! They keep it real! But who keeps it realer, Jennifer Lopez's "Jenny from the Block" or Fergie's "Glamorous"?
2023-03-25 01:15:32 +0000 UTC View PostSome interesting choices this month!
2023-03-21 00:59:25 +0000 UTC View PostIs it tricky to rock a rhyme? Or are we trashin' hotels like it's going out of style? Time to put on your oversized chains and Adidas and argue over the best second-best old-school Def Jam track, "It's Tricky" or "No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn"!
2023-03-09 20:57:27 +0000 UTC View PostWe're on a mission from God.
2023-02-28 01:59:30 +0000 UTC View PostHello and welcome to the inaugural entry of Song vs Song’s Monthly Music Club, where we’ll be sharing actual new music we like every month. That’s right! New music! Did you know new music is still coming out? It is! Every day!
Todd usually focuses on pop hits. Lina usually digs into the indie stuff. Recently we've shared what we listened to with each other. And these are the tracks we're sharing with you.
Lina picked tracks she and Todd both like. Todd chose some songs he fo...
2023-02-25 00:36:05 +0000 UTC View PostWow, a lot of requests this week.
2023-02-23 00:12:07 +0000 UTC View PostAt long last. I don't think this one needs an introduction. Please vote between Creed's "With Arms Wide Open" and Nickelback's "How You Remind Me."
2023-02-22 23:49:39 +0000 UTC View PostWow, thanks everyone for getting us to 100 episodes! Time to start on the next 100! And we're going to get funky, so which is the funk jam about freaky ladies? The Commodores' "Brick House" or Rick James's "Super Freak"?
2023-02-11 17:58:06 +0000 UTC View PostYou remind me of the pod (what pod)? The pod for the movie (what movie)? The movie with puppets! What pets? Muppets! Mup what? Look, I don't know, we just did a podcast about "Labyrinth." Enjoy!
2023-01-31 17:24:49 +0000 UTC View PostIt's our 100th episode!!! And we are choosing two songs near and dear to our hearts. No buildup necessary for these two: It's Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" vs. Nine Inch Nails's "Closer"! Vote now!
2023-01-30 22:06:11 +0000 UTC View PostApologies! We forgot to include an option so to be fair to the patron who paid us good money, we had to delete and repost. We are very sorry for the inconvience, but please vote again!
2023-01-25 19:59:16 +0000 UTC View PostWe are going back to 1980, back when music videos and new wave still belonged to the nerds and freaks! Who is the best beloved new-wave legend (to the people in the now)/one-hit wonder (to the rest of the world)? Vote now on Devo's "Whip It" vs. Gary Numan's "Cars"!
2023-01-12 19:29:27 +0000 UTC View PostLot to choose from this month! Vote now!
2022-12-24 01:32:16 +0000 UTC View PostWe're gettin' Lilith Fair up in here! There are two women with guitars and they have some questions about your well-being. Vote now between Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy" and Jewel's "Who Will Save Your Soul"
2022-12-22 09:05:56 +0000 UTC View PostOh, wouldn't it be loverly to do a podcast. One of the greatest and most beloved musicals, and one of Todd's least favorites, although maybe his opinion has changed now that he's viewing it with fresh eyes. Just you wait, Todd in the Shadders! Does this cinema classic make the Song vs. Song duo dance all night on the street where you live?
2022-12-14 20:50:18 +0000 UTC View PostYes, we're dropping this poll a little early! The holidays have scrambled our schedule a little so we're getting this one out of the way so that all you lovely people have time to vote. Anyway, it's our annual 2022 year-end matchup and we've got two self-loathing #1 hits by probably the two hottest pop stars alive (except Bad Bunny). Vote now between Harry Styles's "As It Was" vs. Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero"!
2022-12-05 20:35:56 +0000 UTC View PostHappy holidays, everyone! Hope you're enjoying some turkey and football and it's time to look forward to the upcoming Yuletide season! What is your favorite deathless Christmas tune from the '50s, Bobby Helms's "Jingle Bell Rock" or Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"?
