Script:
Hey this is Mike McCready, your host on episode 70 of The Hookblast Podcast. This is the podcast where we discuss the the standard model of quantum relativity and general mechanics, hehehe…. ok I’m just kidding…. this is the podcast where we discover a few new catchy songs. Thank goodness… For a minute there I almost bought it and thought I was gonna have to wing a whole podcast about physics… or something…. I think my T-shirt threw me off.
You can navigate to hookblast.com to vote for your favorite song on today’s episode. The song with the most votes two weeks ago on episode 68 was Our Story by g rikki. Yeah ok… I thought that song was pretty good.
OK. Now that the pandemic is over I decided to go visit my childhood home this past week. I knocked on the door and asked if I could come inside because I was feeling nostalgic, but they refused and slammed the door in my face… My parents are the worst.
Let’s just play some hooks.
Summer Anan comes to us today with a song she co-wrote with producer Christian Medice, who has produced with Pink and Halsey…. I wonder if producing more than once with Pink & Halsey would count as re-producing. hehehe ok. I better stop before I get myself in trouble again.Love You Like That is a great Dream Pop ballad to add to your playlists
That’s Love You Like That from Summer Anan
I’m really glad you tuned in today. And I really want to commend you on your taste in podcasts. I think a lot of people listen to this podcast for the great music, but I know you also come for the helpful life tips I throw in. Here’s one…. OK. Ok… turns out that “I’m sorry” and “I apologize” mean pretty much the same thing… EXCEPT when you’re at a funeral.
And that’s today’s tip. You can thank me by leaving a 5-star rating and review in your podcast app.
OK. Up next on the show today is In This Ole Town by Kerry Ballard. Ballard said when he was just out of high school he moved to a small town that inspired this song.
I’m from a really small town where everyone knows everyone. One time, someone called my mom to tell her they saw me trying to buy alcohol at the grocery store….. I was 42! This is In This Ole Town.

You’re listening to IJWK….which stands for I Just Wanna Know, by Royal D Black. It’s a break-up song…. for when you just wanna know why you got broken up with. I know something about that… I hate breakups. Especially when they try to let you down easy. “It’s not you, it’s me. I just need some space. We can still be cousins.This is IJWK.
OK… staying on theme, on the heels of I Just Wanna Know is Cile Vandi with Quit Playing Games With My Heart
That’s a powerful song about the angst of young love. I’ve learned some things about that from experience. You know that tingly feeling you get when you really like someone? Yeah, well that’s your common sense leaving your body.
This is We Are The Underdog from Viridiann
Despite lockdown and this group being separated by the Atlantic Ocean – this song was created proving that …. well, that the internet works as advertised and you can collaborate with people from all over.
OK. That’s all the time we have for episode 70 of The Hookblast Podcast. All songs are used with the permission of the rights holders.
