Guest mixologists Mxology Shay and Gabby Perret join us for our annual end-of-the-year roundtable, where we shamelessly pander to the algorithm by slowly and repeatedly enunciating the titles of our favorite singles, EPs, albums, and artists of 2023. Literally who needs Spotify wrapped when you have us? And speaking of wrapped, we’ve reached the official end of Season Five of Tunes & Tumblers! We wanted to give a big thanks to everyone for listening and supporting us on this journey. We’ll see you again next year for more tunes (and, perhaps, more tumblers!)  *** Please drink responsibly *** *Spiked Gingerbread Cappuccino*  2oz Cap Morgan (or spiced rum of choice) 1oz Kalua 2oz Ghia - non-alcoholic apéritif 1 cup of hot coffee, poured down metal spoon 4oz creamer (TJ’s oat creamer, cinnamon bun flavor) Whipped Cream on top Dry shake Captain Morgan, Kalua, and Ghia in a shaker.

This week our Atwood editors are deconstructing the Christmas song across all genres: from the cynical punk crescendos to the cash grab classics. Turns out, any song can be made into a holiday hit with just a sprinkle of tidings, good cheer, and bells. No seriously, it’s just bells. Don't believe us? Throw a bell behind your favorite track of 2023 and come back to us. Now that we’ve essentially given you a hack for free Spotify royalties, join us at our extra special holiday roundtable as we discuss our favorite albums of 2023 and reminisce those cherished memories of our holiday’s past— you know, the ones we celebrated before capitalism consumed life's greatest pleasures. Bah humbug, am I right? * Tunes & Tumblers on Instagram Tunes & Tumblers on Twitter Tunes & Tumblers on Facebook Tunes & Tumblers on Spotify  Call or Text the Tunes & Tumblers Hotline: (626) 604-6477 Cover art by Travis Williams Learn more about your ad choices.

This week the Tunes & Tumblers bar welcomes Danish musician and producer Oh Land, whose latest experimental album, Loop Soup, is not only a sonic triumph, but also a thoughtful examination of humanity itself. Naturally we’ll take any opportunity to get existential, so sit back and enjoy this week’s You Soup cocktail as we channel the Sandman, brush off our Pokemon battle skills, and de-romanticize the mental health crisis in the music industry. Turns out depression may not be the key to the billboard charts.

Special guests Gabby Perret and Charles Rojas join us for this year’s Thanksgiving Roundtable, where we break a solemn tradition and share the things we aren’t so thankful for. Here’s a spitball list: Jack Antonoff’s production, posthumous Beatles tracks, Elon Musk (in general), the Recording Academy nominations, the Recording Academy in general…. Hey, what can we say? There’s only room for one Grammy this holiday season, and ours makes sweet potato pie.    But in all seriousness, we are all so thankful for all of you listeners who make this show possible. The community we’ve built here is truly so special, and we’re looking forward to bringing you more great interviews and exclusive content in the future! So, here’s a big thank you to you!

Today we're giving thanks to the act that has united communities, broken boundaries, and salvaged many a holiday season since the dawn of time: day drinking. Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Chris LaRocca joins us at the bar today as we get to the square root of the math rock genre, construct a biopic dream cast, and discuss his debut album, i cried my eyes out. Which reminds us- speaking of dread, make sure to write down our 'Mood' playlist recommendations for the commute back to your parent's house. Gotta lock in that 'cool cousin' slot before it's too late. *Please drink responsibly* Manic Maple 2oz Bourbon 3/4 oz of Lemon Juice 1/2 oz of Maple Syrup Ginger Beer Cinnamon Nutmeg Cinnamon Stick Lemon Slice Shake bourbon, lemon juice, and maple syrup with ice.

In the spirit of the spooky season, this week the gang gets together to tackle the most horrifying, spine-chilling monster of them all: late stage capitalism. Special guest mixologist Mxology Shay joins our monthly roundtable as we delve into our favorite Halloween Hits and construct a utopian streaming service that actually pays its artists fairly (*cough cough*) And speaking of Halloween Hits, where are the new ones people??? We can't keep listening to Monster Mash. Seriously, there's plenty of modern monsters out there for inspiration... have you heard what happens if you say 'Bezos' three times? Go ahead, ask Alexa.

Ready to have an existential crisis in a mosh pit? Neither were we, but look at us now! This week drummer Macky Bowman of the explosive garage-punk band The Bobby Lees joins us in the junkyard as we explore the complexity of the mocktail with a spicy citrus refresher. Tune in as we dive into the aquatic ambience of Donkey Kong Country, the band’s latest album ‘Bellevue’, and the collaborative songwriting process that continues to evolve.   But first, here’s a spontaneous haiku penned by Macky himself on why you should give them a listen, in case we somehow weren’t convincing enough: The Bobby Lees are dope as f**k bro, please collect  your thoughts and love us *** This one’s virgin, so feel free to enjoy irresponsibly *** *Junkyard Juice*  Ingredients 6ox Fresh Lemonade 3 Whole Cloves 1 Stick Cinnamon Bark 2 Round Lemon Slices 4-5ox Sparkling Water 1 Bunch of Thyme Leaves Directions Shake lemonade and spices with ice Strain into mason jar and add lemon slices back in Fill remainder of the jar with sparkling water Garnish with thyme The Bobby Lees on Spotify The Bobby Lees on Instagram The Bobby Lees on Facebook Tune & Tumblers "What Have You Been Listening To?"
