Tunes & Tumblers

Come paint California with us, fam. This week, we welcome the Atwood Magazine favorite Noah McBeth -- better known to the world as NoMBe -- into the studio for a light chat about the nature of time, space, and the human condition. If that sounds like too much to chew on, fear not. We also have a delicious sherbet-floated cocktail to wash it all down while toasting his light, yet thematically profound sophomore album CHROMATOPIA. If your jam is psychedelic summer vibes, this is the record for you. Cheers to spectrum, y'all. LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE and as always, cheers!

Try not to "shy away" from the "terror of other people" in a post-pandemic world. This week's edition of Century Club sees us toasting to the latest hit single by alt-pop heavyweights Twenty One Pilots, "Shy Away." Like the rest of us, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun felt scaled back and isolated over the past year, and that manifests in their new sound and the tongue-in-cheek title of their album Scaled and Icy. Tune in to hear how we distill that frosty sensation down into a minty-fresh shot that's infinitely more chuggable than your mouthwash.

Stick around to the second half of the episode to hear what happens when Mercury retrograde rears its ugly head. After a stellar interview with up-and-coming indie rock pair Pacer, the technology gods sought to wipe it from all existence, so we tempted fate and conducted the same interview AGAIN to what we consider the best do-over of all time. The guys even saw to bless us with an exclusive performance of their song "Waiting for the Punch," a choice cut off of their new EP The Terror of Other People. Don't miss any of the insanity, fam. Cheers!

We ain't playing games, fam. We really did this episode in person! Indie pop songwriter Tessa Violet joins us at the Tunes & Tumblers HQ this week to talk all about her latest single "Games (feat. lovelytheband)" and share a mocktail that will make you doubt your senses. Thick, murky, and dark, the Gaslighter nevertheless pops with flavors of fresh mint and tropical fruit. It's the perfect inventive twist for a pop song all about kicking f***boys to the curb. Here's to hearing the actual clink of glasses again. Cheers!

It's Pride Month at Tunes & Tumblers! This week we break out the rainbow flags and raise a glass to two fabulous queens. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lady Gaga's masterpiece Born This Way, Mother Monster is releasing a special edition of the album featuring Big Freedia's New Orleans bounce take on the smash hit "Judas." Break out of your quarantine with one of the hardest hitting tracks we've drunk to yet and perhaps the most deadly Century Club shot to date.

We also welcome Korean-American singer-songwriter Jen Rim onto the pod to debut her very first single "Hanging On." It's a moody, yet confident opening statement for the new artist and a glowing indicator for what she has to come. Hear it first on this episode and stream it everywhere Tuesday, June 16th. Cheers!

Dance while you cry on this week's episode of your favorite podcast. Joining us is the "California Queen" herself -- pop singer, songwriter, pianist, dancer, artist, and one-time physicist sad alex. As if we didn't feel inferior enough, her latest single "until" finds us swimming through the liminal space between happiness and despair without a life raft. At least we have a delicious take on a mojito to see us through the sadness. Cheers to the sad bangers!

Put on your headphones and get ready for a little ASMR. This week we invite singer-songwriter Adam Melchor into the studio to chat all about his quarantine album Melchor Lullaby Hotline, Vol. 1 and his latest single with Lennon Stella "Light Year." Drift off with your favorite podcast and a coffee-based mocktail to wash down this sweet dose of sonic Xanax. This is a lullaby you don't want to miss. Cheers!

With a little luck, we're almost out of the pandemic. And to celebrate the imminent return of both live music and our favorite bars, we're interviewing an expert on both. Today's guest Damian Anastasio owns and operates Harvelle's Santa Monica, West LA's oldest venue and historic blues club. Tune in as we discuss his 40+ years history as a bartender and mixologist, the artists who have graced the Harvelle's stage over the years, and what we can look forward to as the veil of quarantine slowly lifts. Pour your favorite half-priced well drink and enjoy the show. Cheers!

After a 14 month hiatus, the bar is once again open for business. The gang dusts off the barstools, plugs in the jukebox, and shows off their vaccination cards as they gather in person once again. To celebrate, our three amigos toast to the latest offering from bilingual, deep velvet mood-setters The Marías. "Hush" is an audio-visual treat from their forthcoming debut album CINEMA, and it plays just like a film of sensual pleasures as you listen. Fitting then that this week's accompanying shot brings those dark, afterhours vibes to mind. Recipe below to soundtrack your own NSFW movie. Cheers!

This one's been a long time coming. After over a year's delay (thanks, COVID), synth pop multi-hyphenate and Trailing Twelve label owner NYIKO finally arrives in the Zoom studio to talk all about his debut album Honesty and toast a gorgeous Bleeding on You cocktail that Pedro graciously mailed to him (regretfully failing to send one to Anthony as well). Buckle up, folks. This could very well be the last remote episode of the pandemic era. Siri, queue up "Here Comes the Sun". Cheers!

We have a special treat for you lovelies today. Tunes & Tumblers welcomes one of the most impressive voices we've ever had to the airwaves. Thao Nguyen of Thao & the Get Down Stay Down steps onto the mic to discuss her latest project For the Record, a blog documenting the process of writing and recording of her forthcoming 7th album. Pedro also mixes one of our most ambitious cocktails to date. The Marrow pays homage to both Thao's 2020 album Temple and her Vietnamese heritage. Peep the recipe below and dive in. Cheers!

Jump in your phone booth and take a trip back to the early 70's on this week's episode. The reigning indie rock queen herself Annie Clark (better known to the world as St. Vincent) sets fire to the heavens with her latest track "The Melting of the Sun" and we have the perfect shot to chase it. If only Icarus had this track on his boom box, he'd still be alive today. Stick around to the second half of the episode for an interview with up-and-coming pop singer Lisa Heller, who drops by to discuss her new track "Red Flags" and debut the song live on the show. Hear it here first before it hits streaming platforms this Friday, April 9th. It's a whirlwind show, even if we do talk about fonts too much. Cheers!

We're back! This week, we make up for our unexpected break with another stellar interview. Renowned singer and guitarist Patrick Droney takes the hot seat to tease his forthcoming album State of the Heart. Prepare yourself for a deep dive into the human condition, the inescapable march of time, and the memories that pull us back over and over again. Hope you like getting into your feels. Cheers!

We're kicking off Women's History Month this week by ticking off yet another dream guest. Provo pop rock quartet The Aces join us in the studio to gab all about their acclaimed sophomore record Under My Influence, share a refreshing beverage, and pitch the ultimate club experience complete with vegan ice cream and Lactaid. Don't get "Sleepy Eyes" on us now, fam. Tune in and turn up. Cheers!

Today we're rebooting our old quarantine format because a year in and the pandemic is still raging (surprise, surprise). We're going to try not to think about it too hard and instead enjoy a 90's throwback with Post Malone's cover of the Hootie & the Blowfish classic "Only Wanna Be With You." Released for the 25th anniversary celebration of the Pokemon, the song gives us an excellent opportunity to relive the craze of our youth. What's Ryan's favorite Pokemon? Does Pokemon encourage dogfighting? Is Cubone more goth than your high school girlfriend? Tune in to find out.

We also welcome Dallas pop singer JMES onto the pod to debut her blistering new track "Porcelain." Stick around to hear that piece of audio candy and download it yourself when it hits streaming services this Friday, March 5th. Cheers!

This week on Tunes & Tumblers, we're joined by the real Tiger King. Globetrotting rapper and singer Abhi the Nomad takes a break from slaying with his rhymes to discuss his quarantine EP Abhi vs. Kato that he created with renowned producer Kato on the Track. Plug in to hear about the world tour that brought him to Austin, TX, how he lays down his bars, and why Raising Cane's describes him better than anything else. Get "Boppin" with us. Cheers!

We couldn't send you into 2021 without one last hurrah. Joining us once again are the Atwood Magazine Editors to discuss the moments of 2020 that hit us in the feels despite our better judgment.

Enjoy our voices one last time. And until Season 3, cheers!

We've come to the end of Season 2, but we can't send you off without a suitable farewell. This week we're joined by our sugar daddy himself, Atwood Magazine Editor-in-Chief Mitch Mosk, as well as editors Nicole Almeida, Frankie Rose, & Adrian Vargas to discuss our favorite albums of 2020 and whether or not the Beatles are mentioned too much. Southern California indie pop duo Casual Vice also drop by to debut their single "Antihero," which hits streaming platforms this Friday, December 18th. 

2020 has been a dumpster fire. Join us in kicking it straight into the sun. Cheers!

Cheers!

Indie pop rising star Chaz Cardigan stops by the pod to discuss his latest EP Holograma and enjoy a smoky take on a PB&J provided by mixologist extraordinaire Pedro. The gang talks everything from TikTok comment wars to monk-tier meditation, and Sun-Ra induced panic attacks. It's almost like the Before Times TM again. Cheers!

It's a Monster Mash this week on Tunes & Tumblers. Though we're still stuck inside, we wanted to bring you all a Halloween Spooktacular with all the frights and haunts of the season.

Did you miss us? After our government mandated break (don't ask which government), we've come roaring back with a brand new episode. And since our roaring voices are kind of weak, we've let the raging alt-rocker Beabadoobee take up the call. This week we're discussing her track "Together," a cut of 90's throwback fuzz from her debut album Fake It Flowers. We're better together with you lovelies, and Pedro has mixed a pair of shots for the occasion. Stick around to the second half of the episode for a live, on-air interview with rising indie pop singer-songwriter Megan Lara Mae, who drops by to discuss her new track "Headfirst" and give all of you an exclusive performance. It's our best quarantine show yet, and we're not just saying that because Drew told us to. Cheers!

Another week in quarantine, another episode for you lovelies. This week, the gang gets into their feelings with the latest from 88Rising superstar Joji, "High Hopes" featuring pod favorite guitarist Omar Apollo. Of course it wouldn't be Tunes & Tumblers without another masterwork in a glass from Pedro, deep dives into mental health issues, and the latest craze -- coin shooting. Austin country group The Barrens also drop by to tease their lastest single "Unfinished" from their EP Young, due October 16th. Please tune in responsibly.

We've reached the lucky 13th episode of Century Club and the pandemic is still going. Lucky us. But the Tunes & Tumblers gang is still broadcasting live to your quarantine to keep the blues away. This week is all about Gus Dapperton's latest jam "Bluebird," Tik Tok teens, and the existential dread of growing old. If that doesn't sound like fun, electropop duo Ryal also stop by the show for an exclusive live performance of their song "Closure" and a peek at how their quarantine has treated them. Bottoms up, lovelies! Please tune in responsibly.

Remember 1999? TLC, Cher, and Ricky Martin may have been blowing up the pop charts, but an unassuming trick skating game brought punk rock to the suburbs en masse. If you're geezers like us, you'll remember how Tony Hawk's Pro Skater drove a dump truck through the pop landscape, introducing a whole generation to punk, ska, and of course Goldfinger's "Superman." Sony dropped us into a time machine a couple weeks ago when they re-released Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 for a whole new generation of gamers. With it comes a soundtrack of 37 new artists on the bleeding edge of the underground. One of whom, Aussie garage punk prodigy Alex Lahey, takes the center stage with her addition to the game "Misery Guts." And in keeping with the DIY focus, LA punk group Brain Anchor drops by the pod to grace us with a quarantine session performance of their song "New Park" plus an unreleased track just for Tunes & Tumblers fans.

As we quickly approach the end of a monstrous year, it's easy to get caught up in the constant dumpster fire surrounding us. Take a moment to center yourself with us as we discuss Diplo's first ambient album MMXX, now previewing exclusively on the Calm app. We've also thrown in a guided meditation and a Lotus Flower shot to make the experience complete. We're also joined by Nashville singer-songwriter Don Pedigo who is premiering his new song "Burgundy Wine" on the show today. Stick around for a bonus wine cooler pairing to help you through the remaining scorching hot summer days. Namaste, lovelies!

This week sees the gang saying farewell to a young artist lost far too soon. Jarad Anthony Higgins, better known by his stage name Juice Wrld, passed away from a drug overdose in December 2019, leaving many lingering questions about where his fledgling career could have gone. With the release of his posthumous album Legends Never Die, it's clear we lost one of the greats. Taking the pop-punk EDM fusion of "Come & Go" (produced with mega-DJ marshmello), Pedro whips up Some Medicine to help it all go down smoothly. Folk wunderkind Bomethius also drops by the pod to debut his hopeful new single "Goodbye, Covid-19" (dare we dream?). Cheers!

Quarantine has brought many surprises, but we didn't think a new Taylor Swift album would be one of them. This week, the Tunes & Tumblers gang departs for a cabin in the woods to discuss "cardigan," the lead single off the prolific pop star's eighth album, folklore. For this little folk-pop detour, Pedro's whipped up a shot as warm and comfy as the old sweater you keep under the bed (seriously, clean your room). Also, return guest John Moses of Youngbloods Records and KCRW rises from the ether to gift us our first round of #MOOD in months! It's a show you don't want to miss. Cheers, lovelies!

In quarantine, we find ourselves reaching for our phones way more than is healthy, seeking those endorphin droplets from a world outside our isolation bubble. Don't fall for the hype! This week, the gang takes a techno-cleanse with The Aces and their track "My Phone Is Trying to Kill Me," a fresh caught off their brand-spanking-new album Under My Influence. Turn on Airplane Mode and knock back a Going Dark Shot with your favorite podcasters, chased an exclusive guest performance by indie singer-songwriter, composer, and performer Jacob Jeffries. Cheers, lovelies!

The gang gets LoveStoned on the sexiest and somehow loneliest of holidays with special return guest Liz Brownstein. They raise a glass and drop a needle on some mood music courtesy of the love doctor himself, Justin Timberlake. “FutureSex/LoveSounds” is a Delorean trip to a simpler time and yet holds its own as one of the sexiest albums of the new millennium. Cheers to the lovin,’ lovelies.
