Show #67 - Wild. Several factors have made life pretty wild of late, but we finally managed to push past it and finish our latest episode: surprise, it's the Wild show! You'll hear wildly enjoyable music from Talking Heads, Poe, Tom Petty, Steel Pulse and more. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

Show #65 - Guns. This show's got a real kick to it -- we've loaded it up with songs about Guns, you see. Turns out there are a lot of great songs on this topic! You'll hear cool tunes by The Beatles, Shawn Colvin, Warren Zevon, the Black Keys and more. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

Show #64 - Black. Check it out - a bunch of songs focusing on the color Black! Plus it's the debut of my son Ian as co-host for the end segment! So much good stuff here, including great songs by Melvin Taylor, Richard Thompson, Blitzen Trapper and more. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

Show #63 - Know. Okay, this episode is finally the one with the surprise inside! So make sure you listen to the whole thing, all the way to the end, okay? I just Know it'll be worth your while, with sweet tunes by Dionne Farris, Blind Pilot, Kenny Loggins, Nirvana and more. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

Show #62 - Hey. Hey, did your teacher ever tell you, "Hay is for horses?" What was that all about? I mean, aren't teachers supposed to tell you stuff you DON'T know? Anyway, this is the "Hey" show, and we've put together some songs that'll make you stand up and say, "Hey, this is great music!" Enjoy selections from Steely Dan, Fountains Of Wayne, The Pixies and more. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

Show #61 - Cry. Hey, we kept our promise and we're back! That's something to, er...cry about? Well, actually we hope you're happy about it, but then again the theme of this show is Cry, so we don't want to confuse you emotionally. In any case, you may actually weep tears of joy upon hearing the great songs we've included here from Godley & Creme, Marty Stuart & Steve Earle, Stevie Ray Vaughan and others. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

Show #60 - Open. Um...hello again. After an almost three-year hiatus, I'm VERY pleased to say that ThemeLounge is back! There's plenty of apologizing and explaining to do, but why take up space here when you can just listen to the show and enjoy my whining in full 16-bit stereo? I sure didn't plan it this way, but this show's theme serves as a nice opportunity to say that ThemeLounge is Open for business once again! I really hope you enjoy the selections from Gotye, John Hiatt, Santana, Snow Patrol and more. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

Show #59 - Bad. Hey, it sure is nice of you to come back to ThemeLounge after we ignored you for so long. Sorry for behaving so BADly, but we got caught up in a bunch of other stuff and before you knew it, nearly two months had gotten away from us! But we're back just like we promised, and I'm hopeful that we'll be able to avoid such a BAD delay for our next episode. But this is the Bad show, and it turns out to be a good opportunity for you to hear some GREAT music! In this episode you'll hear songs from Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, the Jayhawks, NRBQ, Sublime and more. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

Show #58 - Moving. Hey, welcome back to ThemeLounge! Sorry it took a bit longer than I expected to produce the follow-up to our triumphant return in Episode 57, but I'm hoping you'll find it worth the wait. This show features songs specially chosen for the theme of Moving. There are some very cool tunes in here – some familiar, some listener requests, and some new discoveries. You'll hear from Monte Montgomery, The Kooks, The Cars, The Sweet Remains and more. Licensed with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

Show #57 - Secret. Well, you asked for it (okay, SOME of you asked for it) and now you've got it -- the return of ThemeLounge! There's so much to explain, so much apologizing and groveling to be done...but if I take up time doing that, I'll just keep you from diving into this new show! And it's an awfully cool one, because it features a "lost" segment with Alex that was recorded TWO YEARS AGO, in a SECRET location! Not only that, but this show carries on the ThemeLounge tradition of top-notch songs expertly chosen for their relationship to the theme -- some chosen by me and Alex, and some chosen by listeners like you. You'll hear tunes from The Corrs, Feist, Jeff Fielder, The Toasters and more. Enjoy the show, and we'll be back soon with the next one. Really. Licensed with ASCAP and BMI.

Show #56 - Out. Hi there, everybody! Sorry, didn't mean to sneak OUT on you there. We know we kinda disappeared for a while....we hope you weren't too put OUT by it or anything. But we're back now, and we managed to crank OUT this show! In case you hadn't figured it OUT yet, it's a bunch of cool songs, all about OUT. You'll hear from Crowded House, Joe Jackson, Pat Travers (!), Todd Snider, Shawn Colvin and others. Please enjoy it, and we'll try to send OUT another new show real soon, okay? Licensed with ASCAP and BMI.

Show #55 - Roll. Hey there! Thanks for Rollin' into the ThemeLounge. You picked a good week to drop by, because this show about Roll is gonna be a winner. With carefully-selected standout tunes by The Cars, Paul McCartney & Wings, Little Feat, Del Amitri and more, how can you go wrong? Hope you like it -- oh, and be sure to fasten your seat belt for Alex's segment. Licensed with ASCAP and BMI.

Show #54 - Fools. Happy New Year, everybody! It's great to be back, and we apologize for the long wait. We've been Fools to leave you showless for so long. In a sincere effort to make up for that, we offer you these songs about Fools by Rockpile, Quarterflash, The Amazing Rhythm Aces, Jon Cleary, Lloyd Jones and more. Please enjoy, and come on back next week! Licensed with ASCAP and BMI.

Show #53 - Birds. Greetings all -- thanks for winging your way over here for the Birds show. Clearly I can't think of a single turn of phrase that would be even borderline clever for this, so I'll just tell you that this episode features great music from The Ramones, Fleetwood Mac, The Alan Parsons Project, Dar Williams, Elton John and more. These tunes will have you soaring! (sorry...) Licensed with ASCAP and BMI.
