Ass-Kickers! We present to you one of our Rerank episodes, where we take a pre-determined list and sort of… undetermine it. We chop it up, rearrange it, flip it and reverse it, and wright all the rongs of the original list. We then present the highs and lows of our shiny new lists, and give you the rest (along with the appropriate ride-along playlists) over on https://fairlykickass.com.
This episode specifically is around the year 1996. As a kid growing up in 1996, I distinctly remember two things: Bill Clinton playing saxophone (the famous clip from the Arsenio Hall show happened in 1992, so I know nothing), and the Olympics in Atlanta. Oh and the Nintendo 64 launched! I’ve been told that there were games on the console not called “GoldenEye”, but I don’t buy it.
But I digress! Check out the episode, and let us know what you think in all the usual ways:
Ass-Kickers! This is our One Song episode, in which we take an artist’s entire discography, listen to every song, and pick the best of the best of the best. With honors.
We each get two minutes to make our individual cases for our One Song, and then the other hosts discuss their thoughts. Finally, we present our choices you, Dearest Listener, in hopes that you will pick us accordingly.
Check out the episode above, or wherever you get your podcasts. Once you’ve listened to all of our submissions, let us know if we got it right – or very, very wrong – in all the usual ways:
Make sure to follow us on your podcast platform of choice, to be notified of new episodes. We have our schedule… well, scheduled… out through mid-August, and let us tell you that there’s some good stuff on the horizon. Stay tuned for that on your podcast platform of choice.
And if you could just do us one more favor, we would like to request that you Keep. Kicking. Ass.
What’s good Ass-Kickers! We’re here with a fun one today. Now, yes, it may not seem fun, based on title alone… but let me tell you all that this one was a blast. After a brief detour into Fortnite Festival, we launched into the episode, with each of us putting our own unique spin on our favorite songs for those good ol’ end times – hopefully a scenario that won’t come to pass for many generations to come. So grab a beverage, heat up your favorite flavor of Hot Pocket, and settle in for this fun episode.
The ride-along Spotify playlist is available at the top of this article, or directly on our Fairly KickAss Spotify account (https://open.spotify.com/user/w8i7um7s27sbuuav0ou8hrgwc). Here are a few other links for your perusal as well:
Make sure to follow us on your podcast platform of choice, to be notified of new episodes (which was hopefully something that worked for this episode). Also, we’ll be bringing our first Spotify-exclusive episode over next month, as well as a slew of great new content coming throughout the next several wee, so keep your ears peeled for all that.
And last (but certainly not least), I hope that you all Keep. Kicking. Ass.
Make new friends, but keep the old; those are silver, these are gold. New-made friendships, like new wine, age will mellow and refine. Friendships that have stood the test—time and change—are surely best; Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray, friendship never knows decay.

We gather here today for the beginning of the next chapter of the Fairly KickAss Podcast. From our beginnings in April of 2020, to being a Spotify-exclusive podcast in October of 2020 (where you can still find over 150 episodes), to now being back to publishing wherever you get your podcasts – we’ve had ourselves a journey.
First and foremost, to the new listeners, I’d like to offer each and every one of you a warm welcome. If you listened to our podcast trailer, then you got the gist of what we do already! If not, then just know that we are one of THE music podcasts there is. Not one of the best, mind you, but one of THE nonetheless.
We’ll bring you a ton of music-related content with an episode every week. From monthly reviews to top 5 lists, from finding the best song in an artist’s entire discography to deep dives throughout an artist’s life and music, and more. We like to make sure that everyone has something that they enjoy. No matter the episode type, you can always expect a few things:
shenanigans from our regular hosts, Dan, J, and Zack, along with surprise guest hosts every so often
music takes that range from “meh” to “delete the podcast immediately”
all of that made to sound sterling, thanks to our esteemed Producer Nikki
This week’s episode is our monthly review episode for April. J and Zack will cover the newly-released albums that they liked the most, and Dan will rank all the newly-charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, covering the top and bottom of that list.
An accompanying playlist will be available on our website, https://fairlykickass.com. (Editor’s Note: That’s here! You’re here! PLEASE DON’T LEAVE) Website overhaulin’ is a work in progress, so bear with us as we spruce that up! Also go check us out on many of the major social media platforms:
Make sure to follow us on your podcast platform of choice, to be notified of new episodes. Go check out our Spotify-exclusive back catalog, which we will be bringing over to all the platforms slowly but surely.
And above all else, whether you’re the new friends or the old, always make sure to Keep. Kicking. Ass.
