Guest mixologists Mxology Shay and Gabby Perret join us for our annual end-of-the-year roundtable, where we shamelessly pander to the algorithm by slowly and repeatedly enunciating the titles of our favorite singles, EPs, albums, and artists of 2023. Literally who needs Spotify wrapped when you have us? And speaking of wrapped, we’ve reached the official end of Season Five of Tunes & Tumblers! We wanted to give a big thanks to everyone for listening and supporting us on this journey....

This week our Atwood editors are deconstructing the Christmas song across all genres: from the cynical punk crescendos to the cash grab classics. Turns out, any song can be made into a holiday hit with just a sprinkle of tidings, good cheer, and bells. No seriously, it’s just bells. Don't believe us? Throw a bell behind your favorite track of 2023 and come back to us. Now that we’ve essentially given you a hack for free Spotify royalties, join us at our extra special holiday roundtable as we...

This week the Tunes & Tumblers bar welcomes Danish musician and producer Oh Land, whose latest experimental album, Loop Soup, is not only a sonic triumph, but also a thoughtful examination of humanity itself. Naturally we’ll take any opportunity to get existential, so sit back and enjoy this week’s You Soup cocktail as we channel the Sandman, brush off our Pokemon battle skills, and de-romanticize the mental health crisis in the music industry. Turns out depression may not be the key to...

Special guests Gabby Perret and Charles Rojas join us for this year’s Thanksgiving Roundtable, where we break a solemn tradition and share the things we aren’t so thankful for. Here’s a spitball list: Jack Antonoff’s production, posthumous Beatles tracks, Elon Musk (in general), the Recording Academy nominations, the Recording Academy in general…. Hey, what can we say? There’s only room for one Grammy this holiday season, and ours makes sweet potato pie.    But in all seriousness, we are all...

Today we're giving thanks to the act that has united communities, broken boundaries, and salvaged many a holiday season since the dawn of time: day drinking. Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Chris LaRocca joins us at the bar today as we get to the square root of the math rock genre, construct a biopic dream cast, and discuss his debut album, i cried my eyes out. Which reminds us- speaking of dread, make sure to write down our 'Mood' playlist recommendations for the commute back...

In the spirit of the spooky season, this week the gang gets together to tackle the most horrifying, spine-chilling monster of them all: late stage capitalism. Special guest mixologist Mxology Shay joins our monthly roundtable as we delve into our favorite Halloween Hits and construct a utopian streaming service that actually pays its artists fairly (*cough cough*) And speaking of Halloween Hits, where are the new ones people??? We can't keep listening to Monster Mash. Seriously, there's...

Today we’re joined by a long-time Tunes & Tumblers favorite. He’s a daytime disco legend, the king of the mood, and possibly the Batman of Malibu? This week Jeff Paradise of Poolside comes to the bar to talk his latest album, Blame It All On Love, while we discuss the harsh truths of love in all its forms and sip on a color-changing cocktail (*smokes cigarette* it’s a metaphor…) Sit back in your pool chair and unwind as the team chats over soothing ambient sounds pulled from Jeff’s own...

Ready to have an existential crisis in a mosh pit? Neither were we, but look at us now! This week drummer Macky Bowman of the explosive garage-punk band The Bobby Lees joins us in the junkyard as we explore the complexity of the mocktail with a spicy citrus refresher. Tune in as we dive into the aquatic ambience of Donkey Kong Country, the band’s latest album ‘Bellevue’, and the collaborative songwriting process that continues to evolve.   But first, here’s a spontaneous haiku penned by Macky...

It's that time of the month. Pour yourself a PSL, pick out your Spooky Season costumes, and join Anthony, Kaylyn, and Erik as they rehash all of September's wildest moments in music. Rounding out our already round table is LA electropop singer-songwriter Madeline Maye who makes her TnT debut after a few stints behind the 1's and 0's. Check out her debut single "Try" on BandCamp and then slide back to the show to hear our regulars discuss Spotify's will-they-won't-they affair with AI, the NFL...

In the midst of their annual "eater" EP series, Magnolia Park's Tristan Torres joins the Tunes & Tumblers regulars to chat about their dual-EPs Mooneater and Souleater. All the while we sip on Kaylyn's strongest bev to date, a drink that does exactly what it says on the box, "The Passion Eater". Tune in for talks of Anthony's obsession with the Everworld series, Magnolia PArk's innermost traumas, and the 100 gecs origins of a beloved MP tune. Cheers! *** Please enjoy responsibly...

The time has come again to gather at the bar, pour a glass of whatever you'd got on hand, and re-hash the tops, bottoms, and whatever else you're into of the past month. Join Anthony, Kaylyn and Lilly for a roundtable of knightly stature as we discuss Hozier's newest masterpiece, what to call the new American HYBE partnership, and our deepest darkest fears and judgements. Oh yeah, and also SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON. PLEASE. Cheers! Tune & Tumblers "What Have You Been Listening To?"...

Following the epic return of Erik, the guy who zoned out of existence for a while, the Tunes & Tumblers regulars sit down with Matt and Will of Wilmah. While we talk about bad women and the rushing rapids that are LA right now, we sip on the sourest of exes and spin "Dead To Me," Wilmah's newest single.

Cheers! *** Please enjoy responsibly *** "Interstellar Experience" Banana Syrup 3 Ripe Bananas 1/3 Cup Water 1 Cup Sugar Simmer broken up bananas, water and sugar in...

This week the gang sits down for our monthly gab about all the stuff we loved and hated (no in-between) from July, what we're digging these days, and what we're looking forward to in the month to come. In the spirit of Leo season, we did our favorite thing ever: put Anthony in a conversation with only Leos. We celebrate the greatest season of the year by officially welcoming our newest drinking buddy Jamie to the pod, letting Lilly go on a rant about Christopher Nolan, and Kaylin's flawless...

This week, Curtis Waters sits down with the Tunes & Tumblers regulars to chat about his newest album BAD SON but also, more importantly, his dream to one day create a video game where you can beat up Jeff Bezos. And with Kaylyn OOO on medical leave, Anthony was left to his own devices and whipped up a few Himalayan Himbos, aka our first cocktail to feature a splash of Gatorade. Because dear listeners, electrolytes are important. So pull up a stool and join us. Cheers! *** Please enjoy...

This week the Tunes & Tumblers regulars sit down with special guest MisterWives for an episode of a podcast where we talk about podcasts. And though it might not replace the F**k Boy Book Club-sized hole in our hearts, we do our best to stay on topic (kind of) as we tell tales of gross greek mythology, the cutest darn ID we've ever seen, and blowing ghosts (idk, listen for context). All the while we spin Miterwives' newest album, Nosebleeds, and sip on a bevski that digs deep into the...

This week, the footloose and guest-free regulars gather for America's big 2-4-7 and get real about our feelings about the place and how we cope (drinking. It's drinking.)

Is there really such a thing as too many sunglasses? We hold a scientific study to analyze that a plethora of other question in this week's episode of Tunes & Tumblers. Join the regulars as we sit down with Ryan Ritual, fulfilling the prophecy that was foretold at the show's genesis. While we discuss his debut solo album The Weight of Love (aka not another break-up album), we sip on a light and fishy Love Lost and reveal how to not get sick of your The Smiths. And I'm legally required to...

We’re back from BottleRock Napa Valley and oh boy, we’ve got some stories to share. Tune in as we sit down with The Struts, Dayglow, Phantogram, Starcrawler, Maude Latour, & Honeyboys to get the low-down on twin flames, glam, stripping it back, and what it's like to play one of the premiere events of festival season. Now it's time to put up our feet and pour ourselves a drink. Cheers! *** Please enjoy responsibly *** Tune & Tumblers "What Have You Been Listening To?" Playlist:...

We all need a slay era, especially LØLØ. The intrepid pop punk queen joins the regulars in the T&T bar today to educate us on how to emerge from our sad girl spring and take back the mic. Hint: it has to do with blasting her latest single "5,6,7,8 feat. girlfriends" and toasting with one boozy take on a strawberry marg. We're not sad, you're sad. Cheers! *** Please enjoy responsibly *** LIFE CYCLE 2 oz Tequila 4 oz Strawberry Marg Mix 2 Strawberries (stems removed) 3 oz Lemon Frozen...

Today, with fidget spinners in hand, the Tunes & Tumblers regulars sit down with Waterparks’ Awsten Knight to sip on a spirit-free glass of cherry, cherry and, surprise surprise, tuna fish. Jk, it’s more cherry. While we discuss everything from synesthesia to Lilly’s cynical takes on music’s industrial commodification, we bop our heads and tap our toes to the tune of “Brainwashed,” Waterparks’ newest single off their upcoming album Intellectual Property. Cheers! RED DRINK 1/2 Jar...

Today, we uncover a comeback story for the ages while chatting with Beach Weather’s Reeve Powers.

Throw on your finest tie-dye Grateful Dead t-shirt and drink lots of water, cause we’re getting psychedelic, baby. This week the Tunes and Tumblers regulars sit down with mazie to spin her newest album blotter baby, and discuss her totally trippy influences, the intersections of art, and the thrill of a chance (just a chance, nothing more) of death to the tune of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. All the while we sip on a shroomy little treat (that won’t give you a bad trip)....

Today in the bar, the Tunes and Tumblers regulars are joined by Quarters of Change who, in the midst of their national tour, share some insights to their newest record Into The Rift.
