146 - Favorite Albums of 2019

We're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. After last week's NICE LIST it's time to put some coal in some stockings and talk about some tracks that we're about to diss. These are holiday songs are our personal not-favorites. The yuletide earworms, the specters of the December radio, and the songs that we wish we wake up and hear no more a la Scrooge on Christmas morning. Everything from deep cut classics to some contemporary hits that hit us right in the feels. But not the good feels.  Keep in mind, this is all for fun and we wish everyone a very happy holidays.    Email us: popmusicpodcast@gmail.com     Get a Popular Music t-shirt!:  https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/4134024-classic-pop-music-logo?store_id=205839    Chat pop music with us in our Facebook group!:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/647416295647220/     This week's Spotify Mix:         Find us on all the socials!   twitter.com/popmusicpodcast instagram.com/popmusicpodcast facebook.com/popmusicpodcast   Follow Analise: twitter.com/lalalanalise Follow Omar: twitter.com/omarnajam    Podcast logo by Javier Solórzano  https://instagram.com/jav_solo/

145 - JINGLE JAMS: THE NAUGHTY LIST

HEY SIS, IT’S CHRISTMAS! Omar and Analise begin this month’s theme: JINGLE JAMS by making a list and checking it twice with their picks for holiday songs that made the cut for the NICE LIST! These are holiday songs are our personal favorites. The ones that tug at our heartstrings, remind us of the true spirit of the holiday season, and connect us to the kid within ourselves. We bring up everything from classics from Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway to the royalty that is RuPaul.

143 - NEW WAVE NOVEMBER: TOP TEN

No guilt. Only pleasure. A podcast about pop music hosted by @lalalanalise and @OmarNajam. New episodes every Monday.

This podcast does an amazing job of reminding me of tons of songs I thought I had forgotten! As a prior music student, I appreciate the combo of history and theory. Thanks for such a great podcast and keep up the good work guys!

So many recovered memories!

Long time Fan, but two great things have happened to this podcast recently — 1) the driving playlists and the quick reaction podcasts are really fun, and 2) pulling back to 30 minutes is huge improvement, keeps things vital. Way to go guys!

Nice

Popular Music: The Podcast

IT IS THE ONE-HUNDREDTH EPISODE OF POPULAR MUSIC: THE PODCAST AND WE ARE YELLING BECAUSE WE ARE BOTH HAPPY AND SAD!  In this milestone episode, we sadly say goodbye to Steven - as it is his last as a co-host, but we welcome brand spanking (with consent) NEW co-host, Omar Najam (Sunnydale Study Group/Thank You For Questing/2 Broke Geeks)! We could think of no better way to celebrate the duality of this episode than to talk FOR TWO SOLID HOURS about the myriad of emotions on Carly Rae Jepsen’s touchstone album named, what else, EMOTION. It’s a full album review and I doubt you’ll find a more intense, joyous, attentive, and loving review of this album, Carly. PS. Come on the podcast.   No guilt. Only pleasure.

103 - 1999 (Charli XCX & Troye Sivan) feat. Mini Bear

ALRIGHT! First of all, if you think this *isn’t* a Halloween song, think again. In this EIGHTY-SEVENTH episode of Popular Music: The Podcast, Steven and Analise break down how the Backstreet Boys hit manages to hit all the right spooky spots for us (the chords, that VIDEO, I mean come on).

087 - Everybody (Backstreet's Back)

Genre-defying and catchy AF, Omar and Analise talk about *arguably* one of the most defining (if not THE most defining) songs of 2019 so far - and it all began as a Tik Tok challenge! Omar will talk about why Billboard charts are completely unfair (spoiler: it involves not letting this be categorized as a country jam) and Analise will teach everyone about what she likes to call the “cowboy interval” and why it reminds her of two dudes at a saloon or something (that’s what happens in westerns yeah?).
