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…

Hello, and welcome to APEisode # 23. We're outdoors, ya know. Starting with Prime, we hit (and miss) on a couple of lesser known deep cuts from Status Quo, String Driven Thing, and The Rainmakers, among some more well known PRIME cuts from Cake, Toto, and Joe Jackson, just naming a few. Then on to Starting Lines w Floyd, Hagar, Montrose, and appare…

We are again in the wild for APEizode 22. Are you joining us? We are in the outdoorz for this APEizode. After a LONG intro, we finally get down to businezz. APEZ businezz, that iz. After shout-outs to worthy fellow APEZ, we cover some correctionz and clarificationz. And then we start on our most MixedUpz MixedApez antics yet. No format, just a comb…

Fresh air, sunshine, and shouting over the cicadas! (JK!). We are outdoors in our favorite setting, as it should be! We've got shout outs to FLOMO rock show, Hello Newman, Doorward, Dog-A-Boni, and all of the MIXEDAPEZ listening out there! Hey, we even announce a new official APEZ crew member too! Paula of APEZ! After all that working up an appetit…

Somehow we've managed to create 20 of these and inflict them on the planet! (Planet Of MixedApez??) Celebrate with all of the MixedApez for a minute, as we play on, talk on, laugh on, ramble on, carry on, babble on, and game on with THE PREMIER Rock music challenge, commentary, and factoids podcast, You Should Know This Song! We've been doing the p…

Our latest APEisode is almost out of the teens, but don't think that means we're gonna grow up anytime soon. We begin with Starting Lines, offering only the first few words as a challenge. Nick Lowe, Pearl Jam, Kansas, Stealer's Wheel, RHCP, Iggy Pop, and others are included in the clues, and we keep em flowing fast and furious. Our second segment …

This APEisode, the APEZ joy ride down Route 66 stopping in on the places in songs from CCR, Beatles, Cracker, 3 Dog Night, Wings, Mountain and more. Who knew Route 66 would go Back In The USSR, to Katmandu, and Spain?!?!?! Then in Prime Cuts it's the expected hilarity and stupidity you've come to know and love. And maybe some talk about songs you l…

If only we'd learned the truth at seventeen... then we might not be bringing you this delightful new 17th APEisode. We start with some MIXEDAPEZ Twist & Shout. A twisted segment where the song comes first, and the LYRICS are the answer. Frankly, when I was 17, I THOUGHT the lyrics WERE the answer. Either way, we've got songs by Bob Marley & the Wai…

Sweet Sixteen with MixedApez at Rayce's Oasiz! How can it go wrong? You'll see. Rayce makes up the word BLAZZ! It's a keeper! Let's play ASK AND YE SHALL DECEIVE with Joe Jackson, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Deep Purple, Jolene, more!

APEisode 15 has us chatting through the acts above as well as ABC, No Doubt, U2, Genesis, The Buggles, Bruce Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Crowded House, Ministry, Bill…

Hey there. Welcome! Is this your first time? Don't be scared, we're friendly APEZ. Weird and friendly! Very weird, but still friendly. We've returned with more commentary and silliness about Rock music and lyrics. This APEisode begins with our Ask & You Shall Deceive segment. We include lyrics from CCR, the Byrds, Toto, The Blues Brothers, Tommy Tu…

HEY! We just couldn't resist getting in a little MIDWEEK MAYHEM, so we whipped up a mini-episode to mention a bunch of bands that "YOU SHOULD KNOW" touring in the next couple of months. We'll run through part of the summer's touring announcements that MAY be showing up in a venue near you. And just for fun we toss out a challenge to all of you, wit…

We are still stupefied by the fact that Judas Priest has been making METAL albums for 50 years. On the other hand, we're not very smart and neither one of counts very well. In APEisode 13, we open with our Ask and You Shall Deceive segment. Discussing songs by John Hiatt, Counting Crows, REM, Led Zeppelin, Eddie Money, and even Ronnie Spector, we c…

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 …

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 …

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 unti…

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…

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, …

How can you miss us if we won't go away? We are back with APEisode 7 of our MIXEDAPEZ challenges. We have 3 great segments for you this time, starting with our "Prime" challenge, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG, then we roll right into ASK & YE SHALL BE DECEIVED. Lastly we finish with a little bit of QUICK HITS. Challenges include lyrics from all kinds o…

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…

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 fol…

Surprisingly, we're still here. This episode begins with more of our "Prime" challenge, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS SONG, and we discuss everything from Three Dog Night through the Amboy Dukes to Blondie and even Shel Silverstein's contribution to Rock & Roll. There's also a shoutout to the old heads in the Chicagoland area. We also debut Your Mother Shou…

Join us for a 3rd foray into MIXEDAPEZ territory. We start off with a segment called Bean Enchiladas. Named for the misheard lyrics to "The Pina Colada" song, the segment explores some VERY SILLY misheard or mis-interpreted lyrics. We follow with a ramble on the unsung heroes of the Motown era, known to some as the Fabulous Funk Brothers. Lastly, w…

We're back with Episode 2. We show off the Quick Hits Challenge for the first time. It's a rapid fire segment. We also premier Uncontrolled Substance, a chance for us to rant and ramble about any musical subject we want. This time it's our FAVORITE live albums. Come on and listen, we're not gonna stop (talkin).…
