David Bowie: Blackstar

The Greatest Non Hits ·

2026/02/13

A final album isn’t supposed to feel this alive. Blackstar greets us with ominous symbols and then, almost mischievously, turns the lens toward warmth, groove, and human detail. We trace Bowie’s late-era reinvention through a razor-sharp Manhattan jazz band, hip‑hop inflections, and lyrics that carry the weight of myth—eyes as portals, solitary candles, bluebirds hovering between a wink and a benediction. The journey moves from the ritual gravity of the title track to the aching candor of Laz...

Kings Of Leon: Only By The Night

The Greatest Non Hits ·

2026/01/30

The songs everyone knows from Only By The Night aren’t the whole story. We set aside the monster singles and go searching for the cuts that turned a big rock record into a lasting companion—tracks with space to breathe, edges that scrape, and melodies that stick for reasons other than radio. From the haunted hush of Closer to the grit and drive of Crawl, we unpack why these performances work and how the band’s family chemistry locks the groove into place. We trace the band’s journey—early bu...

Death Cab For Cutie: Narrow Stairs

The Greatest Non Hits ·

2025/12/04

We have a love hate relationship with this album. We dug the music but the lyrical themes are too focused on unhealthy emotions like isolation, obsession, anxiety, mortality and fear of loss that it takes the fun out of a show likes ours, so we dunk on it a little.

Willie Nelson: The Great Divide

The Greatest Non Hits ·

2025/10/24

Forget the neat boxes and old assumptions—The Great Divide shows Willie Nelson coloring outside the lines with a full palette of collaborators, writers, and styles. We roll through all twelve tracks and talk honestly about what soars, what sags, and why this 2002 curveball still sparks debate. From the radio-ready snap of Maria (Shut Up and Kiss Me), penned by Rob Thomas, to the string-laced ache of Mendocino County Line with LeAnn Womack, the album keeps pivoting—sometimes smooth as velvet, ...

Radiohead: Kid A

2025/08/07

Greetings to all our listeners! Tim and I had a blast recording this episode. Kid A is so out there. You can hear a huge leap from a guitar-dominant sound to less commonly used synthesizers like the Ondes Martenot and the Mellotron.

Kidding aside, the episode is informative at the beginning and becomes more comical and lighthearted as we get into playing the songs. The music is phenomenal, and we hav...
