Hits N' Giggles (Gen X Files)

By hits N' giggles

Do you know how to save a TDK 90 tape from death by car stereo by using an HB pencil and the patience of a saint?
Holy Chiko Rolls and fluoro socks, have we got a show for you!
Hits N' Giggles is the comical intersection of 2 (only slightly tragic) music lovers with an answering machine full of memories and stories to share… Where pop meets grunge meets hair metal and novelty rap… Where the Bus Stop meets the mosh pit meets the Macarena...
Hits N' Giggles is for Gen X and Y, those who remember 3XY, and those who love them.
Cheekily nostalgic, frequently geeky and oftentimes hilarious.

#31 — BEST SONG OF THE 80s — as voted by our listeners

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

We asked, and you all jumped at the chance to remind us of the singles that represented the decade of big hair, shoulder pads, and pop megastars. We countdown the best songs of the 80s as voted by our audience and came up with a mixtape worthy of a John Hughes film. And Pete finally gets his chance to punk Jules and hilarity ensues.

#30 — What's Rockin' Your World — Daisy Jones & the Six and the Sheepdogs

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

In which the team find themselves having their own 'Almost Famous' moments. Jules reads ... well, actually listens to the book Daisy Jones & the Six, and then watches the series and continues to croon over Billy Crudup. Pete goes to the see the Sheepdogs live and swoons over hairy dudes with guitars and flares.

#29 — LETTING 1993 LINGER — Lenny Kravitz, Nirvana, the Bodyguard, and Snow

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

Back in the early 90s, life was changing every day in every possible way. It was a time of siamese dreams when we were dazed and confused by dinosaurs, bodyguards and big days out. Yes, dear listeners, 1993 we lived a lonely life. All we had were the Simpsons, Seinfeld, and the X-Files and CD singles of the latest pop the record company machines (which we tried to rage against) would sell us vs the radio friendly unit shifters from indie rock bands. All apologies if we get too nostalgic in this episode, we promise we won't leave you numb.

#28 — WHAT'S ROCKIN' YOUR WORLD — Eagles & Dave Grohl

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

What's been rockin' our world?

In this episode, Pete waxes lyrical over the uncool coolness of America's favourite country-rock band, Eagles (please, no definite article required). While Jules swoons over the singular awesomeness that is Dave Grohl and his recently published memoir of the life of the hardest working dad in rock 'n' roll.

So what's been rockin' your world? Listen, laugh, and leave a comment.

#25 - POWER BALLADS and the PASSION - Van Halen, Heart, Guns N Roses and more big hair...

#25 - POWER BALLADS and the PASSION - Van Halen, Heart, Guns N Roses and more big hair...

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

We just couldn't fight this feeling anymore...

We've been waiting for a theme like this to come into our lives, and we did it all for the glory of love!

Yes, we donned the big shoulder pads, puffed up our hair (except Daryl), and took on this project with an over-the-top sincerity that would outdo even Meatloaf himself.

POWER BALLADS

We all secretly love them, we know every word (except Pete), every guitar solo, every key change, and every drum fill and took ourselves halfway there.

In this episode: what specifically is a 'power ballad'? Who are the kings and queens of power ballads? And who is asking the big questions? Van Halen (of course), Bon Jovi, Heart, Guns N' Roses, and .... Whitney Houston?!?

Welcome to Season 2 of Hits N' Giggles.... now in a NEW! IMPROVED! PODCAST FORMAT!!!

#26 - 1986 ... The Extended Megamix - Ferris Bueller, Kenny Loggins, Paul Simon, John Farnham, The Bangles

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

We're not holding back the years. It's 1986, the year of shoulder pads, Halley's Comet, and the Cold War. Were you dancing on the ceiling, or giving love a bad name? Well, if you watched Stranger Things season 4, you'd think we were all listening to Kate Bush. Might as well face it, we were all addicted to something. In this episode, Pete and Jules throw their arms around the movies and music of this iconic year, ask what happens if a team member leaves, and make themselves the subject of schoolgirl fantasies. So everybody have fun tonight and listen as we take your breath away with 1986 ... the extended megamix!
