• Instrumental Song That Could Have Been a Radio Hit

  Straightforward, right? And yet...But really, what constitutes a hit? Isn’t that subjective? Should Christina and Christine have stricter parameters when playing this game? Is it even a game at this point?  Or is this really just an excuse to share some mind-blowing music? Videos:Air: La Femme D’argent (1998)Emahoy Tsegye-Maryam Guebrou: Homeless Wanderer (1960s)Extras:Korg demoHonky Tonk Nun (BBC Sounds)Ethiopique: Revolt of the Soul Emahoy Tsege Mariam Music Foundation Salah Ragab & The Cairo Jazz Band’s “Egyptian Strut”Connect with us on Instagram, Spotify, and Stereothematica.blog If you like what you’re hearing, please subscribe, and if you love it, a five-star rating and review would send us into the exosphere of excitement.

• Predictions

  How well do Christina and Christine know each other's musical tastes? How well do you think you know theirs? Too soon to tell?  This week they predict what song they have in their respective music libraries that the other person will also have in theirs. Here’s the catch: the other person is supposed to like the predicted song a lot more because it’s supposed to be more up their alley.If this sounds convoluted that’s because it is! But why would you expect anything typical from this wacky duo?Videos:Sam Evian: Jacket (2024)Reyna Tropical: No Me Quieres (2018)Extras:Boz Metzdorf: Sails Across the Sea (1979 - Originally on Signs of Seasons)Drugdealer: End of Comedy (2016)Liner Notes Debate on the Vintage Obscura RedditConnect with us on Instagram, Spotify, and Stereothematica.blog If you like what you’re hearing, please subscribe, and if you love it, a five-star rating and review would send us into the exosphere of excitement.
