Beats on Repeat Podcast

Ok crew welcome to EP27! This one has some wild swings between hard earned emotional growth and just hysterical levels of terror. Should be fun! Or at least should be easier with some beers. We try out the gorgeous new pilsner by Strange Fellows and try out a cream ale by Blackberry Farms all the way out from Tennessee. Our album deep dive is called Crushing, by rising Aussie folk rock star Julia Jacklin which focuses on the million broken pieces a relationship can be smashed into.

Hello friends! Welcome to EP23 of the show! In this round we celebrate the addition of our new studio cat, Missy Elliott, and she's a real gem. We recorded on a dreadful snowy Monday so we were fortunate to have a couple Double IPAs from Superflux brewing to keep us warm. Our album introspective was the debut album by Father John Misty, 2012's Fear Fun. Mick and Tristan debate what all of the Hunter S Thompson-esque narcotic antiques really means, and have a heck of a time doing it. As our last couple film picks have been focused on some real world stress and anxiety we switched back over to some Sci Fi action with the 1987 Schwarzenegger classic, The Running Man- and oh ya it's just as good as you remembered (well sort of). New and noteworthy music from Men I Trust, Kid Koala, Jamila Woods, and Girlpool. As always check out all the tracks we play in the show on our Apple Music playlist.

Ok friendos EP22 is up! In this round we talk about our recent experience seeing Snail Mail at The Imperial (it was fun!) Mick explains the difference between a traditional pale ale and a fresh hoped ale while Tristan is mildly awe struck at the label of our beer pick this week, The Return Of The Simcoe by Gigantic Brewery in Portland. Our album pick is Solange's remarkable 2016 release A Seat At The Table. For movie time with Tristan and Mick we watch the 1992 classic Glengarry Glen Ross, and oh man is there a lot of swearing in it. New and Noteworthy music from Dabrye, Little Simz, Jeff Tweedy, and Sharon Van Etten. We break out one of our best Simpsons's references yet in this episode and Tristan explains what the best gin to shoot straight is- which is sadly not nearly as hypothetical as it sounds.

Ok friendos let's do EP21- it's a grand time! In this round we ring in the year 2019 by... doing pretty much the same thing as always- crack open a beer. We try out the Duex Amis Saison by Coal Harbour Brewing, but not before Tristan spills half of it on Mickey's floor. Pete the Cat was there to clean it up at least. For our album introspective we listened to the punishing, aberrant, intoxicating masterpiece of an electronic album- I Care Because You Do by the legendary Aphex Twin. If that album seems dauntingly complex and unintelligible, our film pick isn't much easier to parse through. We watched the 2015 release The Big Short. Mickey tries to sort through the complex circumstances that broke the global economy as depicted in the film, while Tristan just gets inconsolably angry. New and noteworthy by Priests (YES!), Connan Mockasin, Amen Dunes, and Ralph. Tristan makes a wicked Principal Skinner reference and Mickey is not impressed; maybe you will be!

Alright crew EP20 is up! can't believe we made it this far. To celebrate Micky picked a real heck of a beer. We try a beer from Brossard, Quebec brewery Les Trois Mousquetaries- the  Grande Cuvee Porter Baltique Lager Noire. For our Album introspective we take a deep dive into the world encompassing, culturally aggrandizing, and politically complicated 2007 record, KALA by M.I.A. There's a lot to talk about in this album and not of all the themes or intents are clear cut leading to a myriad of ways to interpret KALA, but we try! speaking of a dizzying array of styles, we watch the chaotic, and visually overwhelming 2001 anime Metropolis. Listen to our thoughts to find out which classic video game that's near and dear to Tristan's heart has some shared DNA with Metropolis. For new and noteworthy we listen to Jon Hopkins, Leifur James, Little Dragon, and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Make sure you subscribe and rate us on iTunes.

In this episode we mix things up a little with a guest co host. Hearing Tristan and Mick drone on and on can get a bit stale so friend of the show Kasha Toolsee swings by the studio to teach the boys a thing or two about music and film. Kasha is local Van City DJ and works in film so she know's her stuff. To mark the occasion we have not one, not three, but two beers from Field House Brewing. Our album pick is the 2016 release Friends and Lovers by Argentinian psych punk pop rockers Las Kellies. For our film introspective we examine the 1999 directorial debut from Sofia Coppola- The Virgin Suicides. Thank goodness Kasha was there to help Tristan and Mick navigate this one as- just at the movie implies- sometimes boys are just ill equipped to figure certain things out. New and Noteworthy music from Kaytranada, Grimes, and Ian Sweet.

In this episode Mick and Tristan talk about their recent experience at The Mr Twin Sister show at The Biltmore. Tristan met Andrea Estella and died just a little, and Mick drank 2 (TWO!) non alch beers- madness! Tristan is convinced the new 33 Acres tasting room is a riff off of Kramer's apartment from Seinfeld (levels, Jerry!) and it turns out Mick speaks French- who knew! Our beer pick for this episode is a brew from Mick's past as as traveling Vagabond/merc for hire- The Rogue Ales Morimoto Soba Ale straight out of Portland, Oregon. Our album introspective is from indie folk hippies Blind Pilot; their 2008 debut Three Rounds And A Sound. If the disposition of that album is a little too sunny and optimistic, don't worry because our film pick is the oppressively sinister high concept sci fi noir thriller Dark City. New and noteworthy music from Mr Twin Sister, Marie-Pierre Arthur, Low, and Chilly Gonzales. Be sure to check out our Apple Music EP18 playlist for all of our featured tracks.
