    #126 PHIL COLLINS pt. 2!
    It's part 2 of our excavation of Phil Collins' memoir Not Dead Yet: The Memoir. We've reached the mid-1980s and the boy is absolutely everywhere...can he sustain the breakneck pace of being one of the most celebrated (and oversaturated) Brits in pop music history? We cover his stressful transcontinental Live Aid experience, his Disneyfied '90s, his vibrant but turbulent romantic life, his big band era, and much much more. The book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/538475/not-dead-yet-by-phil-collins/ Songs in order: Phil Collins - Against All Odds (8-Bit cover by HumanDaikon) Phil Collins - Invisible Touch Led Zeppelin - Rock And Roll (Live At Live Aid) Phil Collins - Everyday Phil Collins - Sussudio The Phil Collins Big Band - Pick Up the Pieces (Average White Band cover) Phil Collins - You'll Be In My Heart Phil Collins - No Way Out (Theme from Brother Bear) Phil Collins - Uptight (Everything's Alright) (Stevie Wonder cover) Phil Collins - Take Me Home

    #125 PHIL COLLINS pt.1!
    I can feel it coming ON the air tonight...a podcast about Phil Collins. Well, the first part of a podcast about Phil Collins. We're talking about his child actor youth, his mod adolescence, his rock 'n' roll grindset that got him a slot in Genesis, his scoot from the drumset to the front of the stage after Peter Gabriel's departure, and the hella divorced energy beginnings of his epic solo career. All through his own words, his memoir Not Dead Yet: The Memoir. Plug in your drum machine and don't f*ck up your shot at playing the bongos on a George Harrison record...because folks are saying there's still time to make it an Abacab summer. The book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/538475/not-dead-yet-by-phil-collins/ Songs in order: Katy Perry - Women’s World Leo Karpatze - The Monster Fuck Genesis - Dancing With The Moonlit Knight Genesis - Supper’s Ready Genesis - Dance on a Volcano Genesis - Follow You, Follow Me Genesis - Burning Rope Phil Collins - In The Air Tonite Phil Collins - Tomorrow Never Knows Genesis - Behind the Lines Genesis - Turn it on Again Genesis - Abacab Phil Collins - Can’t Hurry Love Phil Collins - Against All Odds

    #119 DAN BOECKNER!
    We're joined by musician Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Divine Fits, Handsome Furs, Operators, Arcade Fire) to chat about his life and career in music. We touch on everything from terrible tour stews, leveling up to arena shows, burning CD-Rs in hotel rooms, telemarketing, too much fog machine and more. We also spend a good deal of time on the constantly shifting landscape of online and digital music distribution, how it's affected his career, and why it's so difficult to buy a simple dang .WAV file. Finally, Dan teases some upcoming projects that the Boeckner! heads will really enjoy. Dan's back on social media, please follow him so he can promote his stuff: Twitter: @d_boeckner Insta: @boec_kner Also, if you're not listening to Pretty Dim Wonder, the narrative fiction comedy podcast Dan does with Charles from Episode 1, you absolutely should. I think most And Intro heads would get a kick out of it: https://pod.link/1618321478

    #118 STEELY DAN! (ft. Alex Pappademas & Joan LeMay)
    We're going back, Jack, and we're doing it again with another angle on the Steely Dan story. Last time we were listening to Donald Fagen complain about hotel pools with Matthew Perpetua; this time we're talking about the freaky characters of Steely Dan's lyrical universe with writer Alex Pappademas and artist Joan LeMay, who together created the book 'Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan.' We get into the gentleman-loser trope so common in Dan tunes, marvel at the absurdity of Steely Dan's recording budgets, and ponder the existence of the Squonk and its tears. Enjoy! Buy the book: https://utpress.utexas.edu/9781477324998/ Songs featured: "Do It Again (8-Bit)" - 8BitRenditions "Deacon Blues" - Steely Dan

    #117 BONO! pt. 2
    Bono part deux — for a relaxing time, make it governance time. We hit the second half or so of Bono's book Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story and get into his advocacy, his lobbying, his product-launch mindset, his south of France hedonism, his relationship with God and his overall reflective vibes. Unos dos tres catorce bitches!

    #116 BONO! pt. 1
    Yeah I'm thinking we're back. Back with a big one. Back with Bono. He wrote a memoir called Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story and we're podcasting all about it. Well, not all about it, but about half of it, because Bono's book is so meaty that it requires a two-part podcast. We dig into Bono's early life in bubblin' Dublin, the crucial single week where he asked out his wife and joined U2, his political awakening and initial transition into "foreign dignitary," and the time he made a Parmesan cheese sandwich at Paul McGuinness's house. It's a wild ride, and an Irish one.
