  This week's Mixtape Rewind takes us back to our second Spring Break Party Mix!

  Mixtape Rewind: Songs That Ask The Big Questions 14.05.2026 36min

  This week's Mixtape Rewind takes us back to season 2 when Matt and Sam put together a mix centered around songs that ask questions. We kick off with The Who asking the most direct opener imaginable, then slide into Third Eye Blind heartbreak, Snoop Dogg identity, and a newer Snoop cut that feels like confidence distilled. Along the way we hit War’s endlessly singable “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” A Tribe Called Quest proving some songs never age, and Joe Jackson’s sharp little spiral of ...

  May And Might Mixtape 07.05.2026 47min

  One word can send a playlist in a dozen directions. We set the rule to “May” and “might” and then let the songs do what great songs always do: open doors we didn’t expect. Jenn Tully fills in for Sam and joins Matt to trade picks that connect by title, lyric, and mood, and we keep the curation human, leaning on memory and instinct instead of outsourcing taste. We start with the Bee Gees in their pre-disco glow, then jump to Led Zeppelin and the “May Queen” line that still feels like a life l...

  Mixtape Rewind: The Do Not Play Wedding List 30.04.2026 30min

  This week's Mixtape Rewind is an important one. We put together a “songs you should definitely not play at a wedding” mixtape a couple of years ago and we think it still works. We've got wildly overplayed crowd-pleasers, feel-good hits with breakup lyrics, and nostalgic bangers that get real weird the moment you listen closely. We start with the classics that seem harmless until you have heard them at 30 receptions, then move into songs that DJs love because they are “safe” even ...

  Super Awesome April New Music Mix! 23.04.2026 30min

  Matt and Sam are back with new music for the month of April! We start in bright, timeless territory with Bruno Mars and a throwback pop approach that feels built for wedding dance floors, then slam the door into heavier energy with Muse leaning into hard rock and metal textures. From there, we dig into Fantastic Cat’s sharp songwriting, where a simple hook hides surprisingly dark, observant lines about how we package history and tragedy. Moby shows up with a dance track that’s louder than an...

  Mixtape Rewind: Intro to Van Halen 16.04.2026 41min

  Prepare to immerse yourself in the 1980s rock scene as we explore the electrifying world of Van Halen. Matt and Samer take you on a fascinating journey through the band's evolution, sharing personal insights and experiences that bring the music to life. Learn why the band's famous concert rider demanded no brown M&Ms and how this quirky detail ensured the safety of their elaborate stage setups. As we reminisce about our favorite Van Halen tracks, you'll discover the stories b...

  A Birthday Playlist Built On Perfect Squares 09.04.2026 31min

  Matt just turned 49, and instead of doing a normal birthday playlist, we turned it into a rule: only songs from the years he hit perfect-square ages. That one idea creates a timeline you can actually hear, jumping from 1978 to 1981 to 1986, then into 1993, 2002, and 2013, with two tracks per year and a lot of life packed in between. We talk through why each pick makes the cut and what it carries with it. Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler” becomes a family story about risk, immigration, and gratitud...

  Mixtape Rewind: Season 1 Listener Built Summer Playlist 02.04.2026 31min

  This week's Mixtape Rewind takes us back to Season 1 when Instagram picked our summer soundtrack, and we just tried to keep up. We asked listeners to send their best summer songs, then built a real mixtape out of the chaos: 12 tracks that feel like heat haze, long evenings, and that first day when summer finally clicks into place. Along the way, we shout out the people who submitted picks and admit where we couldn’t resist sneaking in a few of our own. The fun part is how quickly “summer mus...

  Super Awesome New Music Mix - March 2026 26.03.2026 31min

  Spring shows up and suddenly the release calendar explodes, so Matt and Sam do what we always do on Super Awesome Mix: sift through the chaos and hand you a March new music playlist that’s actually worth your time. We start with U2’s “Yours Eternally,” a collaboration that pulls in Ed Sheeran and Ukrainian artist Taras Topolia and frames a protest minded moment with an unexpectedly hopeful finish. From there we jump into Death Cab for Cutie’s “Riptides,” a track that captures modern burnout...

  Mixtape Rewind: The Best of 2022! 19.03.2026 31min

  This week's Mixtape Rewind take us back to the end of 2022 as we countdown our final 12 songs of the year. We argue, laugh and occasionally get a little existential about the songs that earned repeat plays, the lyrics that won’t let go, and the artists who made the whole internet stop and listen. We start in motion with a driving track that brings back the pre-smartphone road trip era and the simple thrill of turning everything off and just going. Then we jump straight into pop gravity...

  Singer Songwriter XBYRDX talks about 'Anthem for the End Times' 12.03.2026 48min

  A steel town becomes a stage, a chorus becomes a dare, and a new record asks what we’ll do when the comfort runs out. We sit down with XBYRDX (aka Bird), a southern Indiana singer‑songwriter, to trace six formative tracks—Springsteen’s Youngstown, The Jesus and Mary Chain’s Just Like Honey, The Clash’s White Riot, The Replacements’ Unsatisfied, The Cure’s Plainsong, and Hüsker Dü’s Don’t Want to Know If You Are Lonely—and hear how noise, melody, and place turned him toward cinematic songwriti...
