This is probably the longest episode that we've put out, but a reason for that will become evident as we move through this one. Before I focus on this year's music party, we must talk about Yungblud (again) and a fun Uber ride. Once we get to the party, the first song we discuss revolves around my friend Chris Morin, whom we have mentioned numerous times over the years. He is a singer-songwriter and has just debuted his website topherinsolitude.com, where you can read about his life with music and listen to a plethora of tunes he has produced over the years with his bands. Ladies dominate most of the discussion of the music party, and one particular female artist dominated the top 50. The party featured 2 song games, one for the current year and one for 1995, the year John and I moved into our house. The #1 song for the 1995 list has a back story involving Jeff and his wife, Jen. In the end, the ladies win again. I also reveal a little secret concerning a female led 90's band. The last third of the episode focuses on the solo album by the lead singer of my favorite band of the last 10 years, the Struts. There is a through line from Bond music, Jacques Brel, Jellyfish, Lennon & McCartney, Broadway, and finally Queen (one of our most oft talked about bands). To round out the episode, Jeff needs to touch back on the brit band Sleep Token we talked about in the previous episode. Definitely some head scratching involved. In the hour and 16-minute episode, we mention over 65 songs or artists. I believe that is a record.
