The ONLY Songs That Matter

Episode 15

This week, the song behind the most-played video in MTV history; a song that's been sampled by the likes of Beyoncé, Lord Tariq/Peter Gunz, AND Tone Loc; the "best song of 2011" that Micah just doesn't get; and more. (Plus, a new favorite liner.)  [3/5/12 episode.] === SONGS: "Sledgehammer", Peter Gabriel | "Black Cow", Steely Dan | "Midnight City", M83 | "Red Alert", Basement Jaxx | "Moneygrabber", Fitz and the Tantrums

Episode 14

Just good music. BAM. C'mon! ... as Micah says at least 5 times this episode. So what? Channeling one's inner G.O.B. Bluth can't be a bad thing. [2/27/12 episode.] === SONGS: "Jump", Van Halen | "Vitriol", Bluejuice | "No Diggity", Blackstreet f/ Dr. Dre and Queen Pen | "Sunday Morning", No Doubt

Episode 13

Talk of the Super Bowl, the Grammys, the Olympics, basketball, comedy, a brief death reel, requests (?), and all the other ridiculousness that's taken place this Black History Month. We'll have at least one cover you may've heard, and one of Micah's favorite songs by one of his favorite bands. Plus, the show actually starts with a song near the top, for once! [2/20/12 episode.] SONGS: "Groove Me", as performed by Etta James | "D.A.N.C.E.", Justice | "T.S.O.P.", MFSB | "I Have Nothing", Whitney Houston | "The Scientist", as performed by Willie Nelson | "Coffee & TV", Blur

Episode 12

Oh, you know. Micah goes on and on about whatnot -- bad Wi-Fi, football "picks", the National Anthem, public transportation interactions, quality time with family -- and play some music all the while. What are you, new? We also take a request! Plus, we open with the world premiere of "Keep On Frockin' in the SeaWorld"! (Consult the end of Episode 11 for context, there.) [1/30/12 episode.] SONGS: "Keep On Frockin' in the SeaWorld" (parody of "Keep On Rockin' in the Free World") | "I Need A Dollar", Aloe Blacc | "West Coast Poplock", Ronnie Hudson & the Street People | "California Love (Remix)", Tupac Shakur f/Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman | "Whip It", Devo | "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough", Michael Jackson | "Intergalactic", Beastie Boys | "Too Much", Dave Matthews Band

Episode 11 (w/special guest sneaki)

Special guest sneaki (http://www.myspace.com/sneaki) joins Micah for this week's podcast! Together, we cover tantric sex, diapers, swim meets, Cleveland Brown, Karen Carpenter, and... SeaWorld? Basically, all of the big issues of the day. Also, we fail to identify the name of the Michel Gondry video with multiple Kylie Minogues, as well as Jack White's Stripes former partner, and we totally ignore Foster the People. Oh, and stay for the Aerosmith and another last-minute song audible (so to speak). [1/23/12 episode.] SONGS: "Kiss From A Rose", Seal  | "Heart of the City", Jay-Z | "Tongue Tied", Grouplove | "Everybody Everybody", Black Box | "Mr. Saxobeat", Alexandra Stan | "Don't Stop (Color On the Walls)", Foster the People | "Dashboard", Modest Mouse | "Pin", Yeah Yeah Yeahs | "What It Takes", Aerosmith

Episode 10

Back after a typically impromptu 4-month hiatus! A special guest stops by; a little "singing" happens; an odd shout-out occurs; Micah discusses politics, Tebow, and Skrillex; plus, some Danger, the anti-Rockwell, and yes... somebody calls my momma. All in the 10th episode of The ONLY Songs That Matter Podcast. [1/16/12 episode.] SONGS: "'Till the World Ends", Britney Spears | "Cinema", Benny Benassi (Skrillex Remix) | "Somebody Call My Momma", Jim Johnston | "Pride (In the Name Of Love)", U2 | "The High Road", Broken Bells | "Sexy And I Know It", LMFAO

Episode 07

This week, Micah unveils samples from another fun mix of the week's songs, gets hit on by Salt or Pepa or Spinderella, and incorporates some cheesy wet sweepers (hey-oh?) for his own amusement. [8/29/11 episode.]
