If you want to deep dive analyze a song, oh and you would like to do it with lots of humor and with two good friends with great rapport, well then Punch Up the Jam.
Miel Bredouw & Demi Adejuyigbe are your hosts and they are funny as hell. The only issue with this podcast is that you WILL have the songs stuck in your head. The format is simple. The duo pores over each song. Sometimes line by line. Sometimes you get to hear the isolated lyrics or other instrumentation. Once the song is over, they do their “punched up” version. Then you get song recommendations at the end.
Past songs that I highly recommend are:
Doobie Bros. – What a Fool Believes
Guns & Roses – Welcome to the Jungle
The Cure – Friday I’m in Love
Boulevard The Jam would be and excellent choice to drink while listening or you can grab one of the Dogfish Head music series. On a local note, if on tap, Mumford Brewing usually has an IPA with music connections or they may even have their Saison du Miel, a honey saison.
