On ThemeLounge we feature a set of songs chosen to fit a different theme each episode. My teenage son Alex joins me during each show to play a song with a more alternative vibe. Check our site to get all of the shows to date. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.
Show #82 - End. Despite the title, this is definitely NOT the End. It just took us a while to get to this one, but there's definitely more to come! For now, though, here's a great bunch of End songs from The Avett Brothers, The Bravery, Joe Jackson, The Pogues and more.

Show #81 - White. Hi! Well, we'd love to tell a little White lie and say that the dog ate our podcast, but that just wouldn't be cool. We're sorry for the delay, and we hope you enjoy this new show, which was months in the making! Here's a bunch of great music, featuring White songs by The Killers, Lyle Lovett, Howard Tate, Linda Ronstadt and more.

Show #72 - Way. Help, we've lost our Way! We were supposed to post a new show some time ago and somehow it got away from us! We feel just terrible about the whole thing. But we think you'll enjoy this tardy episode anyway, as it contains some great music from The Meters, Tift Merritt, Nirvana, U2 and more.
