Mike & Dave Hit the Stage

There's something about how a song can make a movie feel all the more immersive. The way it can take hold in your mind and etch a permanent memory, something that can never be erased. An image caught in time.

Movie Soundtrack classics playlist

There's something special about the last song, it's finality of the artists work. it may very well be their last song. you never know. we look at how artists choose to end their albums. is it with a sense of hope, despair, rage, or something more introspective?

last song on the album playlist

Yelling fire in a crowded theater is obviously dangerous, which also makes it illegal. There's legal ramifications for inciting panic in a public space. this list has almost nothing to do with that notion. this is songs about fire. we are morons. nothing we say should be taken as a good idea

Yelling fire in a crowded theater playlist

In a return to the absurd, we look at songs about weather. Did you know that Mike went to Virginia and thought he was in mortal danger?

Unusual weather We're having playlist

Well, we're just breaking all the rules. We said "No politics, No religion" and I guess we lied. We talk about song based in belief or disbelief. We also really go deep into our own beliefs and feelings. This isn't a laugh riot and for that we are sorry, but we had to get it out.

We're not gonna talk about religion playlist

have you ever had the rumblies in the tumblies. The bubble guts. something you ate just didn't sit well with you. step one, don't eat what you can't handle.

Don't eat that playlist

Hiraeth - a deep, inborn sense of yearning for a home, a feeling, a place or a person that is beyond this place of existence. this episode is not about that, we just wanted to seem smart. This time we are looking at songs that talk about specific places in the world.

it's a magical place playlist

Does Dave have rhythm? yes he does! Does he like music? Certainly! Does Dave ever get out there and Dance? NOPE! We look at Dave''s idiosyncrasies and why he never wants to cut an rug, only munch it.

Dave doesn't dance playlist

who is lurking in the dark? who's watching you when you are all alone? these monsters have been talked about over and over but we rarely recognize the way they have impacted the arts. Whether it's pop art or music. the multiple murderers have changed the landscape forever.

serial killers playlist

what is there to say about war? well, we don't really say it at all. surprise, surprise, we don't exactly know what we're doing at any given time. tangents are aplenty and sarcasm is on tap. we are also monumental dolts.

war! what is it. yadda yadda yadda playlist

Obvious Goonies reference? Check! Songs about dead things? Check! The worst hat you've ever seen? Double Check!

Dead things Mikey, Dead Things! playlist

this week, we look at beyond the band's biggest song and take a look at not only deep cuts but in some cases a complete change in direction.

Beyond the Hit playlist

Song intros are so important. Too weak and you can't get into the flow of the music. Too strong, and the rest of the song seems to have almost no purpose. we look at interesting, and in some cases, downright amazing intros. 

In The Beginning playlist

There's no such thing as "linear thought process" when it comes to Mike and Dave. Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it's a complete jumble of information. we look at the non-linear process that these two call "thinking"

Stream of Consciousness playlist

Sometimes a song can turn it all around. When you feel low, it can make the day a little better. When you feel great it can only add to the momentous feeling.  we look at songs that make us feel good or boost our confidence.

Uplift playlist 

Have you ever looked up to the sky at night and wondered what's out there? we talk about the sun, the moon, and the stars and their effect on music and our well being. More insane stories and dare I say, tomfoolery.

Look To The Stars playlist

Have you ever had a Dream so vivid, that waking up was a genuine surprise that it wasn't real? Have you ever had a nightmare that you felt would never end? why is it so hard to remember dreams? none of these questions will be answered this week, but more will be raised.

Dreams vs Nightmares playlist

sometimes a cover is just what you needed. hearing a fresh take on a song you may have heard hundreds of times can give it a fresh feeling. Sometimes that old house needs  a fresh coat of paint. here we judge of the cover does justice to the original. is it possible for the cover to be better than the original? I guess you'll have to listen and find out

We've got you covered playlist

magical, mystical, erroneous, and other descriptive words. we look a songs about magic and witchcraft and other mystical things. We talk about the power that words give and how they effect us, as well as Dave's expanding waistline.
