SUMMARY:Radiohead - "Dollars & Cents"
DESCRIPTION:The twenty-second Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Dollars & Cents” by Radiohead off their 2001 album Amnesiac. \nWhether you love them or hate them\, there’s no denying that Radiohead is one of the most prominent and influential rock acts of all time. Many of today’s biggest musical acts — including Muse and Coldplay — started out by copping the Radiohead formula. \nAt a certain point though\, Radiohead stopped having any interest in commercial success and started actively pushing just how far the band could go and still be “Radiohead.” That trend started with the album Kid A and its companion piece Amnesiac. On the latter record\, the song “Dollars & Cents” represents a band still in somewhat of a transitionary period\, while also showing a side of Radiohead we seldom heard up until that point: political activists. \nIn this Skipped on Shuffle episode\, Scott and Jason discuss how they first were exposed to Radiohead and what they think of the band now as they’ve gotten stranger and stranger. They also discuss the politics behind “Dollars & Cents” and their personal connection to the song.

SUMMARY:deadmau5 - "Pets"
DESCRIPTION:The twenty-first Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Pets” by deadmau5 off his 2014 album While(1<2). \nElectronic dance music is sometimes put down as not really being “music\,” per se\, in that it isn’t created organically with traditional instruments by traditional musicians. However\, just because music lacks an organic origination doesn’t necessarily mean it is without merit. \nIn the case of electronic producer deadmau5 (pronounced “dead mouse\,” actually the pseudonym of Joel Thomas Zimmerman)\, some truly beautiful and wonderful music has come out of some clicks of a mouse and some tweaks of a few knobs. With his popular song “I Remember\,” deadmau5 set a new bar for just how pretty electronic music can be. \nIn the Skipped on Shuffle episode centered on deadmau5\, Scott (an electronic music fan) and Jason (a music listener with little interest in electronic music) discuss dance music in general\, as well as people’s penchant for navigating away from music without lyrics. The deadmau5 song “Pets” is used a launching pad for this conversation.

SUMMARY:Tom Waits - "Martha"
DESCRIPTION:The twentieth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Martha” by Tom Waits off his 1973 debut album Closing Time. \nTom Waits might be the most enigmatic presence in popular music. His huge catalog has the distinction of being some of the weirdest and most confounding music available\, while simultaneously being an influence on nearly every songwriter living today. \nWith Waits’ debut album Closing Time\, though\, his music was much more straightforward. The sounds of bizarre percussion and lyrics spoken in his raspy voice are nearly non-existent. Instead\, Closing Time is a simple\, jazz-oriented pop-rock album filled with songs of loneliness\, sadness\, and late-night walks through a nameless\, dirty city. \nOn the track “Martha\,” Waits creates a pair of characters who feel as real as anyone you’ve ever known. The song is so melancholic and so sweet that it’s hard to listen without dropping everything you’re doing to focus on the story. Although Waits would continue with songs like these throughout his career\, very few songs can match “Martha” when it comes to simple beauty.

SUMMARY:Rage Against The Machine - "Snakecharmer"
DESCRIPTION:The nineteenth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Snakecharmer” by Rage Against The Machine off their 1996 album Evil Empire. \nRage Against The Machine has a very small output of albums\, especially when you consider the amount of incredible influence the group has over the world of heavy rock music. Of the three original studio releases from the group\, Evil Empire stands out as being a bit weirder\, stepping away from the more formulaic sounds of the band’s debut and its final album\, The Battle Of Los Angeles. \nOn Evil Empire\, the track “Snakecharmer” stands out not only because of its non-formulaic structure but also because of its lyrics. Unlike most other Rage songs\, vocalist Zach de la Rocha seems to get much more personal on “Snakecharmer.” \nIn this Skipped On Shuffle episode\, Scott and Jason break down what makes Rage “rage” as well as examine the distinct personalities of the band’s two most famous members. They also discuss their own personal connection to Rage Against The Machine’s music and message.

SUMMARY:Genesis - "Burning Rope"
DESCRIPTION:The eighteenth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Burning Rope” by Genesis off their 1978 album …And Then There Were Three… \nGenesis began as a semi-obscure but much-loved progressive rock band\, fronted by Peter Gabriel. Upon Gabriel’s departure from the group\, Genesis drummer Phil Collins stepped in to take over vocal duties. \nDuring this transition period\, the band had a choice: continue on with its prog-rock sounds or evolve into something else. The band eventually chose the latter option\, but the 1978 album …And Then There Were Three… represents a band stretched out between two worlds: its past and its future. \nThe song “Burning Rope” has many elements of the “past” when it comes to Genesis\, as well as incorporating many aspects that would come to define its later years. It’s an interesting document of a band making a change — and the band has no idea that change will make them superstars.

SUMMARY:The Cure - "A Strange Day"
DESCRIPTION:The seventeenth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “A Strange Day” by The Cure off their 1982 album Pornography. \nThe Cure is one of the most popular bands in the alternative music scene\, with legions of fans around the world who revere the group — and its leader\, Robert Smith — as a kind of second coming. However\, the band wasn’t always so popular and iconic. \nIn 1982\, the band was making waves with its gloomy post-punk sound\, but the release of its fourth album\, Pornography\, confounded critics. The slow\, dark\, and overall difficult album was heavy on mood but soft on songwriting and radio-friendly singles. \nDespite the album’s critical dismissal\, Pornography is very much the album The Cure intended to make at the time\, with Smith citing the record as a way for him to channel his suicidal thoughts. Today\, the album has been reappraised as a masterpiece and major influence on modern musicians. \n“A Strange Day” is one of the few songs on the record with a potential pop hook\, but is still a difficult listen. In the Skipped on Shuffle episode\, Scott and Jason break down what makes The Cure so special and why this song and album are very much worth the work to fully appreciate.

SUMMARY:Alice In Chains - "What The Hell Have I?"
DESCRIPTION:The sixteenth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the standalone single “What The Hell Have I?” by Alice In Chains. \nIt’s impossible to turn on any rock radio station without hearing a handful of Alice In Chains songs in the rotation. Along with 90s grunge contemporaries Nirvana\, Pearl Jam\, and Soundgarden\, Alice In Chains literally defined heavy rock music for a decade or more. \nHowever\, Alice In Chains is a band that drowned in problems\, everything from in-fighting between band members\, financial disputes\, and — of course — copious amounts of drug use. The latter issue claimed not one but two members of the influential group\, and “What The Hell Have I?” is a song that encapsulates the feelings of dread and remorse that a heavy downward spiral can create. \nIn the Skipped on Shuffle episode centering on “What The Hell Have I?”\, Scott and Jason discuss their love for the band while also lamenting the pain and suffering that went into the creation of its material. They also discuss how “What The Hell Have I?” is a great primer for new listeners to give them an idea of everything Alice In Chains does.

SUMMARY:Marvin Gaye - "Sparrow"
DESCRIPTION:The fifteenth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Sparrow” by Marvin Gaye off his album Here\, My Dear. \nChances are good you’ve heard many Marvin Gaye songs in your lifetime\, as his musical output features some of the most iconic hits of the 60s and 70s\, including some of the biggest hits of the entire Motown catalog. However\, chances are also good that you don’t know about his album Here\, My Dear\, which was a critical and commercial disappointment when it was released in the late 70s. \nWith Here\, My Dear\, Marvin dives deep into his darkest hour as he goes through a painful and angry divorce. His soon-to-be-ex-wife was slated to receive most of the royalties from the record\, which made it even more difficult to write and record. However\, Gaye rose to the occasion and delivers one of the most passionate\, musical — and hard-to-listen-to — albums of all time.

SUMMARY:Shakira - "Why Wait"
DESCRIPTION:The fourteenth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Why Wait” by Shakira off her album She Wolf. \nHere in the United States\, most people think of Shakira as a famous pop singer who’s had some pretty big hits. However\, worldwide Shakira is a literal phenomenon\, and her hit single “Hips Don’t Lie” is the best-selling single of the entire 2000 — 2010 decade. In a phrase\, Shakira is very\, very popular. \nNot every song the Colombian singer has released has been a hit\, though\, and “Why Wait” is a passed-over gem she created in collaboration with The Neptunes. The dark\, sexy track harkens back to the pair of humungous hits The Neptunes penned in the early 2000’s\, namely “Milkshake” by Kelis and “Toxic” by Britney Spears. \nIn this episode\, Scott and Jason discuss just how famous Shakira is\, as well as her refusal to pigeonhole herself into any one genre. They also discuss how difficult it must be for an artist of her stature to straddle the line between English-speaking pop stardom and Spanish-speaking world recognition.

SUMMARY:Annie Lennox - "Legend In My Living Room"
DESCRIPTION:The thirteenth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Legend In My Living Room” by Annie Lennox off her album Diva. \nAfter her stint with the popular and groundbreaking synth duo Eurythmics\, vocalist Annie Lennox set off on her own for a solo career. Her debut album\, Diva\, was a critical and commercial smash\, in some ways outdoing her work with her previous group. \nAlthough Diva has some incredibly famous songs like “Walking On Broken Glass” and “Why\,” there are still some buried gems in there which don’t get as much attention. “Legend In My Living Room” is one such song\, and it showcases Lennox’s soul roots as well as her power as a vocalist and storyteller. It also acts as a parable for her own personal struggles before she rose to rame with Eurythmics\, and acts as an empowering — if still satirical — feminist anthem.

SUMMARY:Muse - "Citizen Erased"
DESCRIPTION:The twelfth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Citizen Erased” by Muse off their album Origin of Symmetry. \nAlthough Muse has achieved immense popularity here in the United States\, it wasn’t always that way. Their first record got some scathing reviews and sold pretty poorly outside of Europe\, and their second album — Origin of Symmetry — didn’t even get a proper U.S. release. It wasn’t until Absolution in 2003 that Muse finally got some legs in America. \nAs such\, most casual American Muse fans don’t know much about the band’s pre-Absolution output\, which consists of music much darker\, louder\, and angrier than their recent works. “Citizen Erased” is one such track\, which has the hallmark lyrical themes of Muse (Orwellian paranoia\, narcissism\, etc.)\, as well as the prog-rock motifs which Muse has expanded upon (and made much more poppy) on their most recent records.

SUMMARY:Peter Gabriel - "Sky Blue"
DESCRIPTION:The eleventh Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Sky Blue” by Peter Gabriel from his album Up. \nPeter Gabriel’s long and storied career has something which many musicians can only dream of: virtually universal acclaim from critics as well as chart-topping success. With the album So in 1986\, Gabriel’s music became a hallmark of the 80s with “Sledgehammer\,” “Big Time\,” and especially the classic “In Your Eyes” making him into a household name. \nIn his later years\, Gabriel has become less interested in writing pop-friendly hits and instead focused on crafting deep\, introspective\, incredibly detailed music. “Sky Blue” is one such track\, off his most-recent full-length album of original material\, 2002’s Up. The track features a guest spot from The Blind Boys of Alabama\, whose involvement Peter cites as one of the reasons the song made it to release after languishing in the vaults for years.

SUMMARY:Beck - "Hollywood Freaks"
DESCRIPTION:The tenth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Hollywood Freaks” by Beck off his album Midnite Vultures. \nBeck started out as a busker\, then became a slacker icon\, then became a Grammy-winner\, and now is one of the most enduring indie artists of the past twenty years. Somewhere in there\, Beck released the way-ahead-of-its-time record Midnite Vultures\, which was a critical and commercial disappointment. \nHowever\, the album has some of Beck’s most danceable\, fun\, and addicting music of his career. “Hollywood Freaks” is one such gem\, which toes the line between comical white boy hip-hop and earnest\, streetwise commentary. If you can look past some of the more absurd lines (“Hot milk\, mmmm\, tweak my nipple”)\, you find a song that has quite a bit to say about Beck’s love/hate relationship with Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:The Doors - "You're Lost\, Little Girl"
DESCRIPTION:The ninth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “You’re Lost\, Little Girl” by The Doors off their album Strange Days. \nIn many respects\, The Doors are the band that best defines the sixties\, while also being the band that defines the transition from the hippie sounds of the sixties to the dirty\, loud\, and angry sounds of the seventies. \nAlthough the band’s breakout debut The Doors all-but cemented their status as rock legends practically from day one\, their second album Strange Days often is ignored by casual listeners. This could be because it only features a handful of the groups most well-known songs or the fact that it was released in the same year as their debut. Whatever the case\, “You’re Lost\, Little Girl” is a gem of a song on a gem of an album that casual Doors fans should give a full spin.

SUMMARY:The Smashing Pumpkins - "Love"
DESCRIPTION:The eighth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Love” by The Smashing Pumpkins off their album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. \nIn the nineties\, the idea of a grunge band releasing a double album was preposterous — at least\, until The Smashing Pumpkins did just that in 1995. Twenty-eight tracks sprawling across two compact discs made Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness a behemoth of a record. But\, luckily for the Pumpkins\, the record’s success matched its length. \nDespite the fact that millions of copies of the album are out there\, many music fans have barely scratched the surface of what the record has to offer\, simply because it’s so long. Luckily\, Scott and Jason focus this episode of Skipped on Shuffle on the song “Love\,” which on any other Pumpkins record would have likely been a huge hit. However\, since there were already four massive rock hits from the album\, there simply wasn’t enough time to release another.

SUMMARY:David Bowie - "The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell"
DESCRIPTION:The seventh Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell” by David Bowie off his album ‘hours…’ \nDavid Bowie is easily one of the most iconic\, prolific\, and important musical artist of the previous century. While his musical output in the decade before his death in 2016 was critically lauded as some of the best of his career\, his albums from the nineties and late eighties were disappointments both critically and commercially. \nHis 1999 album ‘hours…’ is usually pointed to as one of his weakest\, but Scott and Jason think it is an underrated masterpiece. The song that is the focus of this episode — “The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell” — is the work of an artist getting through the idea of becoming old and irrelevant\, yet it harkens back to some of Bowie’s greatest works. In a catalog as huge as Bowie’s\, it’s impossible for every song to be a legend\, but this one at the very least deserves a second listen.

SUMMARY:Pearl Jam - "Light Years"
DESCRIPTION:The sixth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Light Years” by Pearl Jam off their album Binaural. \nIt’s hard for Jason to hide the fact that Pearl Jam is his favorite band\, and he gushes about it quite a bit in this episode. But both he and Scott connect with the song’s lyrical themes\, especially as they pertain to death and dealing with loss. \nEddie Vedder is often derided for having “mumbly” vocals\, and the hosts are quick to point out that really listening to what he says in this song can help you get through some things you may be having trouble getting through.

SUMMARY:Led Zeppelin - "For Your Life"
DESCRIPTION:The fifth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “For Your Life” by Led Zeppelin off their album Presence. \nHas anyone not heard of Led Zeppelin? Probably not\, but even hardcore Zeppelin fans tend to ignore the band’s later works\, like this slow-burning rocker from Presence. Incidentally\, this song made its live debut in 2007 when the group reunited for only the second time since it disbanded. Why was this song selected out of the many others the band could have put in its place? \nScott and Jason discuss the history of Led Zeppelin and extrapolate on the potential state of mind of the group’s members during the tumultuous recording of this song and the album it appears on.

SUMMARY:Coldplay - "We Never Change"
DESCRIPTION:The fourth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “We Never Change” by Coldplay off their album Parachutes. \nColdplay had zero indie cred when they burst onto the scene with their debut album Parachutes\, but that didn’t stop them from becoming one of the biggest bands of a generation. However\, Scott and Jason discuss in this episode how the Coldplay on Parachutes\, and on a song like “We Never Change\,” is a wholly different group from what we hear today. \nIn this episode\, our two hosts find themselves lamenting the loss of a great band and their disappointment of the new band that’s popped up in its place.

SUMMARY:Depeche Mode - "The Love Thieves"
DESCRIPTION:The third Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “The Love Thieves” by Depeche Mode off their album Ultra. \nIn their decades-long career\, Depeche Mode has seen and done it all. However\, they remain mostly obscure when it comes to mainstream audiences\, especially here in America. But their influence is evident throughout all of modern pop and rock music\, due to the band’s incredible songwriting and Dave Gahan’s amazing vocals. \nThroughout this episode\, Scott discusses his lifelong love of the group\, while Jason talks about his discovery of the group later in his life. Both convene on the power of Martin Gore’s songwriting and how this song\, in particular\, moves them to new heights.

SUMMARY:The Who - "The Punk & The Godfather"
DESCRIPTION:The second Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “The Punk & The Godfather” by The Who off their album Quadrophenia. \nThe Who are one of the most famous and influential bands in all of rock history\, but that doesn’t mean they are universally loved. Pete Townshend\, the driving force behind the group\, grapples with insecurity that permeates through all of his work\, none more so than this powerful rocker from his group’s magnum opus Quadrophenia. \nScott and Jason talk about the plot of the rock opera\, where this song falls in that plot\, and how it is a parable for both The Who and Townshend himself.

SUMMARY:Fiona Apple - "Werewolf"
DESCRIPTION:The first Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Werewolf” by Fiona Apple off her album The Idler Wheel… \nIn this debut episode\, Scott and Jason discuss how Fiona Apple burst onto the music scene at the tender age of seventeen and was suddenly burdened with a reputation she didn’t care for. Refusing to capitulate to the demands of fame\, she has remained elusive and cautious\, only releasing albums after several years of silence. \nHer song “Werewolf” is a passed-over gem from her latest record\, which perfectly captures the pain\, intelligence\, and lyrical prowess of this amazing singer/songwriter.
