Abracadabra - Ep. 152

Put your paws up, because she's back baby! This week we've got our resident Lady Gaga expert, Joey Konkel joining us to get into all things MAYHEM. We may even go song-by-song with our hot takes.  @hausofjo @boporfloppodcast @theehren @therealestsimon

Know what day it is?? NOT FRIDAY. It's Thursday, which means there's a new review incoming!! This week we're reviewing Rebecca Black's latest album(?) "Salvation". Will we enjoy it? We asked ourselves that question and then we listened. And now... we have an answer. @boporfloppodcast @theehren @therealestsimon

Slip on your tiniest pair of shorts, bikini top and a pair of pointy toe heels cuz it's time for Tate McRae's new album, So Close To What. You may think you're listening to NPR with this one, but we promise it isn't! We're just feeling our intellectual oats. But also there are a ton of tangents. It's a fun one, folks!   @theehren @therealestsimon @boporfloppodcast

This week we review Sharon Van Etten's latest project, where she teams up with a band and makes an album with them: Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory. We also chat about the Super Bowl performance, nabbing exclusives, and so much more.

With a wave of a wand and a wink of an eye, your wish is our command. We are spending our entire episode this week dedicated to Lady Gaga's surprise release single, Abracadabra. What will Simon and Ehren have to say about this magical, mystical song? What else will they talk about??? One way to find out!! @boporfloppodcast @theehren @therealestsimon

Cmon' season 6, let's get....EUSEXUA!!!!! That's right, the boys are back for another season of Bop or Flop! fka twigs released her highly anticipated third studio album, and Sam Stark answered the call to guest (again). Also featured, Oscar nom tangents.   @boporfloppodcast @therealestsimon @theehren @samstark

It doesn't take a scientist to know that 150 is Mewtwo's Pokedex entry, but equally important... it's our 150th episode! There's nothing uniquely special to see here, it's just our annual episode recapping this year's albums that we listened to, reviewed, and loved. To those that have stuck with us since the beginning, THANK YOU. To those of you that haven't, you probably aren't reading this so screw you! @boporfloppodcast @therealestsimon @theehren

Jingle Jangle, y'all! We're reviewing Jennifer Hudson's new christmas album, "The Gift of Love" this week with special guest Eric Nitz. Pull that warm cup of hot cocoa out of your pocket and buckle up as we answer the question, "Is it a bop or a flop?" @ericjnitz @boporfloppodcast @therealestsimon @theehren

Let's start talking about trauma. It can come from kids bullying your little sister and your father yelling at you for defending her, it can come from your father disowning you straight out of the womb, and it can come from your sisters torturing(?) you by playing the Wicked (Original Broadway Cast) soundtrack on repeat during your formative  childhood years. The latter is the reason our dearest co-host, Simon isn't joining us this week. Instead, Sam Stark and Alex Reese (two AVID Wicked fans) join Ehren as they review the Wicked movie and soundtrack. Will the movie and album be BOPular or DeFLOPPING Gravity? Tune in to find out. @fancyboyreese @samstark @theehren @boporfloppodcast

Skip the first 10 minutes if you wanna avoid us groaning over election stuff, but THEN!! we review the up-and-coming pop girl group FLO's debut album, Access All Areas. This has been a long time coming, but we were so stoked to dive in. Side note: can someone please explain what a "bag" is in the context of In My Bag??? @boporfloppodcast @therealestsimon @theehren
