  Jack White, Frozen Charlotte & the Satanic Controversy

  Aug 22, 202649 minS5

  On this episode of AnyMan with a Microphone , we dive into Jack White’s new album, Frozen Charlotte , and the controversy surrounding his decision to invite Twin Temple to open for him after country singer Charley Crockett dropped the self-described “satanic doo-wop” duo from his tour. We look at the music, the feud, and the larger questions it raises about faith, art, and humanity—all from a Catholic perspective. We also talk about the surprising relatability of Johnny Knoxville during the recent Jackass: Best and Last movie tour, along with a few other cultural detours along the way. And all of that leads into our next episode, when we turn our attention to the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day .

  They Might Be Giants (Boy!)

  Mar 5, 20261h 5mS4

  Some bands chase trends. Others chase hits. They Might Be Giants chase after being themselves and let the music happen. For more than four decades, John Linnell and John Flansburgh have been building a strange musical universe where songs can be about night lights, dead presidents, particle physics, palindromes, or the quiet existential panic of everyday life—and somehow still get stuck in your head for the rest of the week. Emerging from the New York underground in the 1980s, the duo first made their mark with drum machines, accordion, and an approach to songwriting that treated pop music like a playground. Their early “Dial-A-Song” project let fans call a phone number and hear new recordings long before the internet made that sort of thing normal. Since then, they’ve written everything from cult radio favorites to television themes, children’s science albums, and songs that manage to be funny, unsettling, and oddly profound. In this episode, we discuss the world of Linnell and Flansburgh: the songs, the stories, the strange corners of their catalog, and why a band that refuses to stay in one lane has managed to stay relevant for so long.

  Djo & the Music of Stanger Things

  Jan 22, 20261 hourS4

  On this episode, we dig into The Crux by Djo—and how Joe Keery uses modern rock and synth-pop to process nostalgia, identity, and a shifting moment in rock culture. We explore how the album channels its influences without imitation, landing in a sound that feels both deeply personal and perfectly timed. We also dive into Stranger Things, and how its music functions not just as a soundtrack, but as a character in the story itself.

  BECK

  Nov 12, 20251h 5mS4

  In this episode, we step into the eclectic world of Beck—genre-bending musician, Grammy winner, and one of the most inventive artists of the past three decades.
