The truth is out there. Today on The Good Music Show, we close out season 2 with a creative narrative-based playlist episode. We assembled songs that we would show to an X-files-esque supernatural being, and we both went with alien extraterrestrial stories.

First, Danny takes us through the last playlist he will hear as he reckons with the imminent destruction of Earth. Join him on his crazy farewell/going away party where he remembers the good times before the Moon gets shot right between the eyes.

Then, follow a sketch of the core of human history with Julius, where they are tasked with helping an alien with a school project about Earth. This journey sums up humanity and the spiritual archetypical journey of love and hate and war and back through love.

Thank you to everyone who has been listening, and we look forward to releasing more episodes in the near future!

Farewell Party - Gene Watson

For the Good Times - Al Green

Content warning: this episode contains lengthy discussions about death and drug use, and a brief mention of suicide.

On this episode we tackle two albums we've never heard before... until we listened to them for the first time for this episode! That's right, instead of perfectly curating a classic album for a prompt, today we are spinning some albums we've been meaning to check out but have not heard a single song from.

First we discuss Julius's pick. As a big fan of the Stooges, they never got around to checking out any solo Iggy Pop. Produced by David Bowie, The Idiot is Pop's first solo album and was recorded while both Pop and Bowie were trying to kick their drug habits. Does it meet the high standard set by the Stooges? Find out by listening!

On to Danny's pick, we talk about Tonight's the Night - the final installment of the unofficial "Ditch Trilogy." This era saw Neil Young eschewing the sounds of Harvest that skyrocketed his career. Instead, he made albums infused with raw emotion stemming from tragic losses in his life and struggles with substance abuse.

If you're a listener and you have either one of our personal phone numbers, you have a special power to get us to spend an extra 40 minutes after recording to get us to talk about something music related!

Today, after a recording session (main ep coming soon!) we do a quick overview of recent Tiny Desk Concerts that we enjoyed! First talk about a close personal friend of Danny, Rico Nasty, who recently cemented her status as a genuine Tiny Desker after previously being an At-Home Tiny Desker. Then we get into Clipse and their celebratory set featuring drummer Daru Jones. We wrap up with a day-of-release reaction to MIKE, who delivered NPR staff an emotional, lyrical masterclass with his set.
