You Should Know This Song

Quick, let's clean it all up! We have company coming! Join us in welcoming our 1st Guest on APEisode 31

Welcome into our space, and PLEAZE help us WELCOME our very first MIXEDAPEZ guest. Wayne, a friend of the podcast is sitting in. We asked him to share his thoughts on the more METAL side of ROCK, but he's good for anything that get's you going. Of course, we still have a playlist, and you can find it here.
We start off with some thoughts on a couple of upcoming shows Rayce is lucky enough be be attending. And of course, we always suggest you GO SEE LIVE MUSIC and SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BANDS (that's all caps because Rayce is really loud about it.) We reminisce a bit about some acts we've seen, and the legendary St. Louis venue, Mississippi Nights. Then, Reid continues with some albums out recently, and it's definitely stuff you may want to track down.
After all that great talk (and we had a blast, seriously) we do get in a few challenges. We'vew got Deep Purple, Triumph, Queen, AC/DC, UFO, Quiet Riot, and somehow we end up on Doja Cat? So come on, listen in, play along and have some fun. It's APEisode 31 with MIXEDAPEZ!

Dirty Thirty?!? Is it possible? 30 is the new 20 right?? Dig in to APEisode 30 with us!

What's good MIXEDAPEZ world? Ready for some YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG?  You can grab the playlist to APEisode 30 HERE. We packed in a lot for the joyride playing ROUTE 66. We're traveling with Bob Seeger, ZZ Top, The Dead, Steely Dan, George Thorogood, and The Good Rats, to places like Miami, Negril, Hollywood, Detroit, Frisco Bay, Santa Fe, and of course back to Rayce'z Wentzville,Oasizzzzz. 
WHAT THEN YOU ASK? Well, Your Mother Should Know! (queue circular logic comedy routine). But also, Only You Know And I Know, and that's Bloody Well Right! You're thinkin, Ain't That Peculiar? Can you Guess Who the American Woman is? She's a Free Bird, who's on a Free Ride to go out Twistin' The Night Away. 
If that don't blow your skirt up, check out Starting Linez and please do better at guessing them than we did. 'Til Tuesday, Squeeze, Argent, Prince, Rolling Stones, XTC, Deep Purple, Queen....actually Reid of Apez pretty much fails on this part of the show. Shame of Apez is hard to rebound from, but THE SHOW MUST GO APEZ!    OH AND HEY! Check out the PLAYLIST after the show! On You Should Know This Song! THE ROCK LYRIC CHALLENGE PODCAST!

Hey Tommy! Can you hear us? If you need assistance to hear to APEisode 29, We Can Make IT Happen! Yeah... APEisode29

What's transpiring APEZ peoplez? Welcome to more of YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG, on MIXEDAPEZ RADIDIO, from Rayce'z Oasiz! Aside from the fact we've got playlistz now......HAVE YOU HEARD?? PLAYLISTZ! Playlist for this APEisode is available here. 
After some "Jane you ignorant slut", and nezt-keeping about Uriah Heep and about Love N Rockets, it's on with some chat about The Tokens and the song Lion Sleeps Tonight and Solomon Linda, and Neil Sedaka, and other related Tokens stuff. Then the cool idea of choosing a theme band/artist/era/genre for vacation or a trip or maybe project. Rayce tried to make Cake his vacation band. 
NEXT: We got our hands on the set lists for the St. Louis area 90s cover band 'Hello Newman', and we're using them as our show list material. First talking about the songs kinda 'Uncontrolled Substance' style, then MixedUpz challenges for a while too! Silverchair, LIVE, Sponge, Sublime, Harvey Danger, Toadies, STP, RHCP, Collective Soul, Foos, Black Crowes, and a couple dozen more. It's gonna be a BIG playlist! CHECK IT OUT WITH US on You Should Know This Song! THE ROCK LYRIC CHALLENGE PODCAST! Apeisode 29! 

Playlists? You're talking about Playlists, You kidding me? Playlists? It's APEisode28!

Welcome to APEisode 28 of YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG! We start off with some big news We have PLAYLISTS for EVERY APEisode! you can find the one for this episode here. We're kind of a big deal now. 
And after we bellow about playlists for a while we roll on. Reid recalls the band Trapeze, leading Rayce into his mea culpa about not knowing his back end from a hole in the ground when it comes to the different Deep Purple line-ups. We talk about Connections, (not the song the PBS series) for just a minute, and 
FINALLY we get to some (ONE SIDED) challenges. Beatles, 10CC, Jackson Brown, Dire Straits and the Stones all make appearances. We just can't help it. Come on, let's go! It's APEisode 28!

WE'RE SLICING CAKE! Learning To Crawl. Aaannndd Digging In The Dirt. HEY! Get your Apez in here! Get APEisode 27 now!

ReidApez has a dumb road trip game idea for the listeners. His first dumb idea maybe? Hhhmmm....The actual show is MixedUpz. It's rock challenges in a blender!! From Hollywood Vampires, to People Who Died, to Dead Milkmen, and Joe's Garage. Get the playlist HERE, or at www.youshouldknowthissong.com/APEisodes
 
From The Beginning, there's No New Tale To Tell, but I Want To Hold Your Hand (did I just make it weird?). Weirder when we start gargling on about the continuum of cycles of rock music over the decades, remixing and reanimating old as new again. It gets Kinks-y for a bit. Alabama Shakes it up, and before you know it Closing Time. But you KNOW we just keep rollin. 
 
Come on in!!

Back to it, break's OVER! You're No Good, your Good Lovin's Gone Bad, but still, you Make Me Smile! It's APEisode 26

We're back to business (APEZ Businezz). After going blabber only in our 25th, we're tossing challenges again in APEisode 26. And there's a bunch!
BREAKING NEWS! Going forward, all our APEisodes will have an accompanying playlist. Find this episodes playlist HERE. We are also filling the old APEisodes as well. 
Starting w Prime Twizt & Shout, we include songs from Bad Co, Foghat, Chicago, R.E.M., and a bunch more. Of course we rumble our way through the jungle of clues, and come out pretty much OK (mostly!).
We start Quick Hitz by STEALING EACH OTHER'S CLUES! We've got songs from Billy Idol, the KING, Wang Chung, Aretha, and the Boys from he Beach, just to name a few. 
Closing with Starting Linez, (that doesn't sound right?) we visit with Donovan, Joe Jackson, Deep Purple, Don Dixon, Rick James, and a bunch of other artists from all over the genre. 
It's good to get back on track, and deliver the goods to the APEZ out there. Let's ROCK & ROLL!

SILVER APEZ! A SPECIAL 25th APEisode. We're ALL TALK (what a surprise /s). APEisode 25 is HERE!

We can hardly believe it's our 25th APEZiversary. To celebrate, we changed it up a bit. This APEisode is all talk. (All the APEisodes are all talk, how does this differ?). But this is different. Really!
For this go round there are no challenges. We wanted to share the kind of thing we do when we're just sitting around blabbing (like we do on every APEisode). Seriously, it IS different. I mean we're talking about music (isn't that what we always do?).  But there's digressions and BS and the conversations go sideways in this one (exactly like all the other ones).
Well, this time we made a playlist of the songs we mentioned in the APEisode, and you can actually listen to the songs we talked about. Hopefully, you'll finish listening to the podcast first (PLEASE!?!). Click the link to check it out. Hear HERE. (get it?) We're gonna try to do this for every APEisode going forward, and eventually, for all the previous ones too.
OK, OK, so it's only a little different. It's still two APEZ monkeying around with microphones, acting like what they say should be recorded. And we're still having fun, commenting on the music we want to share. With YOU. That's what it's really about.

BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS - CICADAPALOOZA is over. At least it's safe to drive Route 66 with the top down again. APEisode #24

So, what's up in APEisode 24, you ask? Well, Rayce has a Cicada public safety announcement. Reid went to see the MJ stage show and his wife says HE has something to say about it. Welcome new Certified Official APEZ Member Amity-Of-Apez! Get your official membership, just by stickin' your nose into our business. We'd love nothing more!
Musically, we determine that Vinegar Joe should have been a bigger deal that they were. KSHE classics come into the chat. No Shelter from Looks That Kill with a Sledgehammer, by an Evil Genius, is just Coincidental MOYDAHHH. And, friend of the show Matt from the STL area band 'Hello Newman' is going to participate. 
Come on! You gotta find out what all of that means right?!?! Check out APEisode TWENTYFOUR!
