I don’t know which one of you ratted us out to the animal rights activists, but now that they’re on to us, we’ve been forced to flee Build-a-Band HQ in search of greener pastures. Actually, browner pastures, because we’re seeking asylum beneath the surface in the domain of the mole king. As they say in subterranean circles, holy moly! We’ll have to temporarily put the podcast hold while we navigate the rocky world of underground politics, but keep your ear to the ground. We will return–mark my worms.

We’re proud to announce that the scientists and engineers at Build-a-Band have finally done it. They’ve completed a device that allows two individuals to completely switch bodies. The only caveat? They both have to be music podcast hosts.

Happy April Fools Day! As part of the Great Podcast Switcheroo of 2019, we’re bringing you an episode of Decomposition: a music podcast dedicated to “hyper-analyzing all your favorite terrible songs.” You can find their feed at decompositionpodcast.simplecast.fm, where new episodes come out every Wednesday.

Special thanks to the Your Brain On Facts podcast for organizing all the foolishness!

Imagine you woke up one day to find your life completely changed. You might feel like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, or a person living their first day in witness protection. You might feel like an unbroken bar of staples at an office supply store liquidation sale. You might feel like God’s perfect drumsticks had been hissing at you all along.  You might feel like the FDA would feel if budget cuts forced them to cede responsibility to an animatronic band based on the dangers of foodborne illness. Now stop imagining; this week’s episode of Build-a-Band is about to change your life completely.

In a world where Beck can still win a Grammy, there’s no time to serve your debt to society. Not while the music industry is more ripe for exploitation than we ever could have imagined. Taylor’s busting out of podcast prison, and we’ve got the daring escape recorded for your listening enjoyment! Between what should be long, uneventful stretches of tunneling, we’ve got a compilation of some favorite past bits to pass the time.

Build-a-Band has never been this democratic, or this exploitative! This week, we’ve got just the social media challenge to help you build a bouncing baby band of your very own. But you may want to act fast because if our math is correct (don’t @ us, we studied), we don’t have long before the fourth wave of ska washes over us like a cleansing flame to purify the industry. Take that, fantasy music chart gamblers.

Build-a-Band is back, and there ain’t no deep ocean valley low enough to keep us from getting to the next animal-themed lo-fi sensation. Tentacles? Gooshing? Check and double check. Support of the oceanographic community? We’ll get back to you on that. For now, we’ve got plenty of new signees to sink your teeth into. Try the avant-garde act that’s fascinating dentists and psychologists alike, or the comedy album that’s confounding conspiracy theorists, but save your appetite for a long-overdue revolution in fast-casual Tex-Mex and hype man apprenticeships.

Get up, come on get down with the Christmas! This holiday season, Build-a-Band has all the jingles and jangles you need–and then some extras we couldn’t anticipate. We’re here to stuff your stocking with gingerbread house shows, special Santa ops, and a bro band to keep your family holiday party inclusive. But maybe it’s all moot; maybe the future of Christmas music marketing has been with us all along, hiding in plain sight on the Billboard charts like that last hidden present under your tree.

“If everybody had glaciers / across the U-S-A / then everybody’d be skurfin’ / but global climates change.”

True to Build-a-Band form, we’re taking lemons and making lemonade in the form of a new brand of surf rock that can only grow in popularity as the ice caps shrink in size. Whether we grew the lemons ourselves isn’t important. Whether we had the lemons stolen from your doorstep by a band of porch pirate metalheads is none of your concern. Your grandchildren may have to deal with it, but then again, they might also be distracted by all the cows in the cathedrals.
