In this episode, we listen to dancehall, tropical house, and Rihanna to ask about fairness, recognition, and labels when local sounds go international. 1075 full tunerpodcast@gmail.com (Brian Barone & John Lagomarsino)nomusic,theory,pop,popular,remix,talk,analyze,analysis,college,study https://soundcloud.com/tunershow/house-of-the-rising-hanson Mon, 16 May 2016 19:14:14 -0400 tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/264464100 Brian Barone and John Lagomarsino Hanson’s “MMMBop”—one version of it, anyway—turne… Hanson’s “MMMBop”—one version of it, anyway—turned twenty years old this March. While discussing the anniversary in a recent interview, the Hanson brothers revealed that we’ve all been singing it wrong this whole time. In this episode, we take a listen to the mid-90s smash hit to sort out what they mean—and find that this classic has a more complicated history than we remembered. 983 full tunerpodcast@gmail.com (Brian Barone & John Lagomarsino)nomusic,theory,pop,popular,remix,talk,analyze,analysis,college,study https://soundcloud.com/tunershow/11-with-a-little-helper-from-my-friends Mon, 04 Apr 2016 04:03:36 -0400 tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/257216843 Brian Barone and John Lagomarsino More often than not, April Fools' jokes just aren… More often than not, April Fools’ jokes just aren’t that funny. Especially when they’re part of a company’s branding strategy. But this year General Mills bucked that trend with the release of a five-track, Hamburger Helper-themed mixtape—cuts that the internet has deemed ‘fire.’ In this episode, John and Brian talk to some of the MCs and producers behind the mixtape to learn the story of how it was made. 792 full tunerpodcast@gmail.com (Brian Barone & John Lagomarsino)nomusic,theory,pop,popular,remix,talk,analyze,analysis,college,study https://soundcloud.com/tunershow/10-here-there-and-everywhere-you-look Fri, 04 Mar 2016 01:10:44 -0500 tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/250123506 Brian Barone and John Lagomarsino The opening of ABC’s “Full House” is full of memo… The opening of ABC’s “Full House” is full of memorable moments: the Golden Gate Bridge, the beautiful old house, the family out on a picnic. But most memorable of all is the show’s theme song, “Everywhere You Look.” When Netflix launched a sequel to the show, they tasked Carly Rae Jespen with covering the theme. So this week we take a listen to her version to find out about covers, feel, and listening itself. 930 full tunerpodcast@gmail.com (Brian Barone & John Lagomarsino)nomusic,theory,pop,popular,remix,talk,analyze,analysis,college,study https://soundcloud.com/tunershow/9-can-you-seal-the-love-tonight Mon, 08 Feb 2016 00:58:52 -0500 tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/245988025 Brian Barone and John Lagomarsino Fans love to debate musical genres: which ones we… Fans love to debate musical genres: which ones we like, which ones we don’t, which songs fit into which genres—you know the drill. But, it turns out, genre is really hard to define. This week, we use the idea that genre might be more like a contract than a quality to listen to Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose.” And we discover that Seal is a very crafty negotiator. 1004 full tunerpodcast@gmail.com (Brian Barone & John Lagomarsino)nomusic,theory,pop,popular,remix,talk,analyze,analysis,college,study https://soundcloud.com/tunershow/8-aint-no-valli-low-enough Mon, 25 Jan 2016 00:43:26 -0500 tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/243654280 Brian Barone and John Lagomarsino In the pantheon of pop classics, Frankie Valli’s … In the pantheon of pop classics, Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” has to rank near the top. A funny thing about classics, though, is that their fame and reputation can lull us into thinking that they’re all-too-normal. So, this week, we’ll listen for all the odd and surprising things about “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” and we’ll wonder if sometimes classics aren’t at least a bit accidental. 1079 full tunerpodcast@gmail.com (Brian Barone & John Lagomarsino)nomusic,theory,pop,popular,remix,talk,analyze,analysis,college,study https://soundcloud.com/tunershow/tinytunerchristmas Thu, 24 Dec 2015 20:01:17 -0500 tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/239010682 Brian Barone and John Lagomarsino Twenty-one years after its debut, Mariah Carey’s … Twenty-one years after its debut, Mariah Carey’s Christmas anthem “All I Want For Christmas Is You” finally broke into the Billboard Top Twenty for the first time this year.
