Season 3 Episode 17: Osmosis Jones

from The Midlife Critics Podcast · host The Midlife Critics

This week's #FreshCuts Songs of the Week for Vol. 58 are a treasure trove, a secret stash, and a collection of all kinds of musical genres. We go further out there this week than we have in the past. Burke Wasson is joined this week by Bryan Mosby, Wellington Davis, Steve Strait, and Nathan Ferrell. We get into the songs, make some predictions and give some reveals on future #FreshCuts, and Mosby and Wellington try to talk Burke into ska by visiting its 1960s roots of 1st wave ska. One of us ponders if Kurt Cobain had made a jazz album. Another of us tells of a personal encounter with Samantha Fish. Someone else likens a live hip-hop performance to a poetry reading. And one of us agrees that Dave Grohl’s best drumming has not been with Scream, Nirvana, or Foo Fighters. Who is whom? Find out on this very entertaining episode. We cover all of our Songs of the Week, which was a very twisted one.
