Spin It!

Ahoy! It's another Connor Pick, and he's taking us sailing on the seven seas with the self-titled debut of The Wellermen! Born from long-distance collaboration in the midst of a TikTok sea shanty craze, the group's signature deep bass folk style brings new life to 13 classics (although some are more classic than others)! After a shocking surprise reveal we'll learn their backstory and dive into songs that range from traditional Viking music and pirate shanties to Ed Sheeran chart-toppers and everything in between. The Mixtaper squares off against Connor again with facts about action figures, limos, alps, Donut Boy, and MUCH more in a historic Fact Or Spin first! Get ready to Hoist The Colors, sail her home to Mingulay, and raise a Parting Glass to The Wellermen! Soon may they come!

Sucker for the pain, huh, honey? This week we're Forever (Sailing) into forlorn indie pop with Valentine, the heart-wrenching sophomore album from 1999-born Lindsey Jordan, better known as Snail Mail! From the depths of heartbreak (and a lamplit cave), we'll explore everything from resilient teeth and homemade paper to lipomyelomeningocele. With captivating lyrics, provocative imagery, and the 249th-best guitar playing the world has ever seen, Snail Mail is coming out of her shell at her very best this week! The only question left to answer is this: so why'd you wanna erase her?

Meet me at midnight... for another Spin It Grammy Special! We've got plenty of award winners and performances to discuss. Find out how we were right and wrong about last week's predictions! And you best believe Taylor Swift is still Bejeweled... her latest record Midnights is the 2024 Album Of The Year! We'll talk about what she's been up to since we covered Red (it's a lot), break down her record-breaking Grammy wins, and dig into her surprise announcement of a new album, The Tortured Poets Department! Our resident Anti-Hero the Mixtaper is, of course, the Mastermind behind another round of Fact Or Spin, bestowing awards about elbows, corny husbands, and coveted convoluted handwriting. Can we push through the Lavender Haze and get to the bottom of this record, or will Karma track us down?

For more about Taylor Swift check out Episode 113 (and the extended B-Side version on our website) about Red! We go in-depth about her career beginnings, Taylor's Versions, the Eras Tour, and MUCH more!

Looking California and feeling Minnesota? Well you've come to the right place! James and Connor are breaking our Rusty Cage this week and exploring the Mind Riot of Soundgarden's 1991 album Badmotorfinger! We'll talk about the actual garden of sound that gave the band their name, the science of cryptozoology, and the black hole that almost had a very famous name. From Chris Cornell's legendary vocals to Kim Thayil's exceptional guitar solos, this album of experimental time signatures and guitar tunings (you instrumentalists will get it) helped secure the band's legacy as grunge legends and is sure to keep you on your toes. We're getting faster and weirder than ever before!!
