We've reached the end of a road, friends. This is the last episode of Songwriting Idiots and we are going out with a bang!
Here's the weird thing. We've been doing this show for over two years now. We've tackled almost 20 genres and yet ... somehow we still haven't talked about the biggest genre in the world right now: Hip Hop. Well, boys and girls: Today it is tim
The sound system's booming through the streets, deep bass caressing your chest and sweet sweet autotune taking you to a place of pure bliss – a place where nothing matters. Well ... that's at least one way to describe Dancehall. Here we go!
Here we go again. Season 3 of Songwriting Idiots is here and oh boy – what a strong start it is! This month, you asked us to tackle to iconic German genre of "Neue Deutsche Welle" or German New Wave. It's pure 80s bliss all about the relatable
Just before the start of season three of Songwriting Idiots, we were wondering one last time. Wondering about one-hit wonders. So we are taking on another all time classic this time: Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners. And what an utterly
We are in between seasons here at Songwriting Idiots and we were wondering ... Wondering about one-hit wonders. It just all seems so terribly unlikely. One would think a band or artist either cracks the code and they don't. It's either a big ca
Time flies when you're having fun. We just started into the new season (or so it seems) with Death Metal and now it's already over again. This means it's time for our review special where we look back at the season that was and talk about what
It's January. A wonderful time: Peak skiing season, peak Corona season ... (we wonder if there is any connection?). Ah well anyway, we are luckily not here to talk about any of that. Because this is the big finale of season two where Dan and Ra
Oh the wonderful world of Folk music! It can truly be everything and nothing – never have the Songwriting Idiots been challenged by such a hard to define genre. But truth be told: We both enjoyed it tremendously and you can listen to the result
Do you wanna hear something that will blow your mind? None of us is a woman, let alone a girl. So ... you know ... just one question: WHY THE F*** DID YOU GIVE US GIRL GROUPS AS A GENRE?? Just wanna get a couple things clear here. One: Girl gro
Remember the year 1991 also known as the year that changed music forever? Nirvana released their second album "Nevermind" including the hit single "Smells like teen spirit" and the world was never again the same. Or so the story goes ... But do
We want to make one thing very clear: While we are both enthusiastic guitarists, this one did not necessarily fill us with confidence. Cause if there's one thing that terrifies us, it's having to (pretend to) play Jazz. But what can you do. Her
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to PARTY! Because this month, the Songwriting Idiots are tackling the genre of Disco. So get your perms ready, put on that white suite and get your body moving. We are about to hit the dancefloor with a Nigerian
Do you want to know a secret? We both LOVE our instruments and believe it or not ... by now we even know how to use them (kinda). This makes what you guys did to us even more painful. Because for this month, you beautiful people out there decid
Season 2 of Songwriting Idiots is starting with a bang! Or more accurately: A beat. A blast beat. That's right. For our first episode of the new season we are tackling the ridiculous genre of Death Metal! Take a listen to find out how Dan's tru
It's April 2021 and we are nearing the end of our break. Season Two of Songwriting Idiots will commence in May! But there is of course one thing still missing ... We need to know what genre and topic our first two songs will be about! Let us te
This is the last of our in between seasons specials and man ... have we got a treat for you! Our guest today is Tommy Krappweis. Originally we got him on the show to talk all about the blues. And we do - kinda. We also discuss everything from w
In this special episode, we talk to Lyon based songwriter and long-time listener of the show, Livv! Livv is a singer and ukulele player originally from Mali, who started sharing her music on Instagram a couple of months ago. We took the chance
This is a very special episode for us: This week, we released our very first single with our band! Now ... you might be thinking: What band? You guys never mentioned a band! Was everything you ever did just a big lie?! And you'd be right to thi
Luke Leighfield is a London-based songwriter and got himself into an utterly ridiculous project for 2021: He wants to write and release a new song every single week! We here at Songwriting Idiots find it hard enough to come up with a song each
This is the first in a series of special episodes coming your way until Season 2 hits off in May. Today, we are talking with Mirco, the man behind the "USR", a project he doesn't like to call electronic music (opinions do differ). For his curre
Guys ... it's incredible. We made it through an entire season of this madness we call Songwriting Idiots. Crazy. As promised though, we've got a whole series of in-between-seasons specials lined up for you, starting today! In this episode, we t
It's that time of the year. The time we've all been waiting for: End of season time here at Songwriting Idiots! And to end season one of the show with a blast, we take a bow to the other thing happening right now: Christmas. Or more specificall
Ralf dreaded this episode and not even Dan was excited (which means something, that man has no standards). You charged us with writing a Ska song about our aunt's obsession with Crocs shoes ... Well truth be told: We enjoyed it more than we tho
For this episode of the Songwriting Idiots Podcast, you have once more forced us to introduce a new language. After having done songs in English, Spanish and Italian, it is now time to get into some German here! And not just any German, mind yo
