Episode 109: Set 'Em Up, Knock 'Em Down

August 23, 2025

It was a struggle but there will be a Best Songs of the Summer episode next week heads up on that, but not this week. This week is just more dancefloor bangers, weird ass indie music, and a rare pop track kicking off the episode that I actually think is pretty great. Circling back one has to wonder with the absence of a clear song of the summer and what I see as some more quality indie rock and left field hip hop hitting the earholes out there whether we are in the midst of some sort of cultural shift.


Only time will tell and that's why you play the games -- to see what happens.


If you are somewhere out there sitting in a beach chair and you think you can take on The Magic Organ guy, I invite you for the umpteenth time to throw down the gauntlet and roll out with your playlist. Email is listed below.


As always thanks for listening!
