It took a minute, but we got Prime, Bean Enchiladas, And Quick Hitz to reward your patience. In this APEisode we explore keeping our heads on straight while life rears up and calls for attention. We swing through with some corrections, PRIME CUTS featuring the likes of John Mayer, The Knack, Poco, Gene Vincent, Rage Against The Machine, They Might Be Giants, and more. Then, in BEAN ENCHILADAS we eat our words referencing Superstitious, When I Fight Authority, Beast Of Burden, BaBaBa Barbara Ann, a few others, and finally finish our Bean Enchiladas. Man, I'm stuffed.
We wrap it up with QUICK HITZ, including discussions on Peter Gabriel, Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Rolling Stones, Heart, The Clash and more, more, more!
Come on don't be mad, it's worth the wait! Check it out! And if you're really upset, send us an email and tell us how it ruins your day if we're late with an APEsiode. You know we love you guys! REALLY.

Hello again! Apparently, he's SCRUMPTRULESCENT, and I'm fine, but not quite dandy! With 'nods' to Will, and the best ever, George, we kick off APEisode 11. We offer a NEW segment, PRIME "Twist and Shout". In the new segment, the challenger has to come up with a couple of lines of lyrics, prompted by a song name. Not always as easy as it sounds. We have clues from Ozzy to Squeeze, from Jane's Addiction to Jethro Tull, and for a change, we get most of them right!
Our Uncontrolled Substance session is a blast, talking about some of our favorite covers, and a bunch of faves from listeners. We "COVER" (sorry, I just can't help it) covers from RHCP, Ghost, Limp Bizkit, Elmore James, Metallica, Hendrix, Judas Priest, Melvins, and that's not even half of them. And I am betting you won't guess the hands down favorite cover our listeners shared.
So make sure to cover all your bets, and download the latest MixedApez APEisode of You Should Know This Song, THE ROCK LYRIC CHALLENGE PODCAST!

Welcome to our 10th APEisode. We kick it off discussing the 2024 nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Plenty of entertainers, and plenty of opinions. Nominees include Cher; Foreigner; Peter Frampton; Jane's Addiction; Dave Matthews Band; A Tribe Called Quest; Kool & the Gang; and 8 other acts. Wherever you stand, the vote is open to fans until April 26th.
We move onto our Prime challenge, You Should Know This Song. Plenty of chatter about artists as varied as Otis Redding, Love & Rockets, Todd Rundgren, Smashing Pumpkins, Dire Straits, (the forbidden) Steely Dan, and a whole lot more.
We discuss the origin of the word WIKI, and we tip our hats to our families, and especially to our listeners. Come celebrate our 10th podcast with us, and get in on the ground floor. After all, it's where we spend most of our time.

Who knew? As old as we are, (VERY) we can still learn something. We go long in this one, and WAY far afield. Beginning with YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG, we cover Mojo Nixon stories, discuss the ?first? 'boy band', wonder about Paul Westerberg, and a bunch more music related rambles.
Moving to Quick Hits, there's a brief discussion on the song writing teams from the famous Brill Building in Manhattan. We touch on music by (OG) Elvis, JT, The Animals, Stray Cats, Uriah Heep, and other great artists. Fun, informative, BS from our resident APEZ.
We wrap with Ask and Ye Shall Deceive, where the answer to the questions reveals the song. There's a bit about KSHE FM, one of the longest running continuous Classic Rock stations in the US. We 'old guy' for a few about "Late Night" Rock TV shows from the 70's & 80's. (Yes, they had TV in the 70's & 80's, kids). Add in comments on music by The Lovin' Spoonful, The B-52s, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, and even the Commodores, and we just can't stop.
It's a great time, with lots of APEZ type chatter and us bone-heading our way through it all. Check out the website for more info and come listen to the MixedApez. All the cool kids are doing it.

Who Do We Think We Are? (We're Probably Not Sure!) APEisode 8

We haven't been able to determine WHY, but apparently some of you want to know how we became MixedApez. I think we were just born this way, but for everyone who wanted deets, here's a bit of MixedApez Lore.
This APEisode starts with the segment we've come to call 'Your Mother Should Know'. We play around with lyrics from Bob Marley, 3rd Eye Blind, Billy Idol, Squeeze, The Ohio Players and a bunch more. Then we spend some time on the Apez origin story. We talk about how this all started, and the road into the weird jungle we inhabit.
So, check out the 8th APEisode, guess along with what everyone's mother should know, and hang out for a bit. We can't wait to get swinging!

Welcome to our little corner of the rainforest. We begin the episode correcting SEVERAL mistakez we've made since we started. After all we're only human, wait, APEZ are simians, right? Whichever, we've erred, and we're sorry.
Then we launch into another Bean Enchiladas segment (OH NO!) . We claim it's misheard lyrics, but it's really just an excuse to be sillier than usual. We butcher lyrics from Jethro Tull, Journey, Eurythmics, Bon Jovi, and so many more. Thankfully, we eventually segue into a segment called Your Mother Should Know, a 'lighter' version of our Prime segment, where everybody and their mother should be able to answer the challenges.
Come on and join us in the monkeyshines (APEZ, monkeys, haha, amiright?)
I know, it's lame. But I've gotta put something here...

Welcome back to another journey with MIXEDAPEZ. This APEisode starts off with our YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG challenge and then we take a hard left back to 1973, to revisit the music released that year. The APEisode was recorded near the end of 2023 while we still building content, and we looked at albums that turned 50 years old. If you want to follow along, you can find our source material here.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG!
Rock lyrics. Everybody knows 'em. Or do they?
We've been trading lyric challenges for over 20 years. We've had so much fun, we decided to share. We have a few different kinds of challenges, but mostly we just want to talk about the music, the bands, the shows, random factoids, and whatever else (Rock related) comes up.
We're here to share our thoughts and commentary on the music we know and love. But we also want to hear from YOU.
ARE YOU MIXEDAPEZ?
We think there are plenty of us out there.
Listen to the podcast and join us in the jungle! There's plenty of weird to go around.
