Earbuds And Earworms

Amy and Mitchell spend this week checking out the dumpster offerings and curbside pick-up to find treasure underneath the used cat litter and soggy couches. They take their mother’s advice and only try to say nice things. Metal Johnny finds a way to gross even Amy out and Mitchell finds ways to compliment horrible songs against his better judgement.

Music:

Corey Feldman - Ascension Millenium

Bo Daddy Harris - Queen of my Heart

IceJJFish - On the Floor

Greta Van Fleet - When the Curtain Rises

Fall Out Boy - Uma Thurman

The Very Nice Interesting Singing Man - Trash Collector Man

Crazy Town - Butterfly

Michelle Branch - Everywhere

Stryper - To Hell With the Devil

Lee Greenwood - God Bless the USA

Benny Mardones - Into the Night

From First to Last - The One Armed Boxer vs. The Flying Guillotine

While they come across as sweet innocent podcasters, Mitchell and Amy are carrying some bitter, sarcastic, snarky grudges that don’t seem to be dying anytime soon. In this magnificent example of how great the songs made out of bitterness, Amy cusses quite a bit and Mitchell admits how much he loves this theme.

Music:

Charlotte Cardin - Main Girl

Carly Simon - You’re So Vain

Fiona Apple - Get Gone

Magnetic Fields - Meaningless

Hannah Grace - The Bed You Made

Cee Lo Green - F*** You

L7 - S*** List

Shellac - Prayer to God

Loretta Lynn - Fist City

PUP - If This Tour Doesn’t Kill You, I Will

Shannon and the Clams - Point of Being Right

They Might Be Giants - When Will You Die

This week is all about the tunes that we are slapping on repeat and listening to over and over again. The Earbuddies present all sorts of songs that keep us wanting to relisten and contemplate how the musicians constructed the songs.

This week was a little punchy with Mitchell and Amy getting in the weeds about the mechanics of self-cooling and headbanging. There was surprisingly little harpsichord and waltzes but a wide range of instrumentations. Theremin (maybe) makes an appearance and Amy confuses a vibraphone with a guitar.

Deerhoof - Rainbow Silhouette of the Milky Rain

In this episode featuring songs about the night life, Mitchell and Amy realize that the Earbuddies are probably not raving as hard as previously thought. Enjoy this collection of thoughtful musing on what happens while we are awake at night (and it is not sipping exctasy).

While Amy tried to make this an all ska all the time episode, this is actually about those brassy, brassy horns (and totally includes saxophones but not flutes). Mitchell, as usual, brings all the knowledge and maybe, just maybe, has legit trumpet roots while not marching in marching band with all the cool kids in high school. Horns, horns, and more horns.

This week is all about one of Mitchell’s favorite musical elements (not the la la la’s but the other element). Layered vocals creating harmonies all over the place over here. Amy also learns which band Iggy Pop was not in.

The album opener is the song that just opens up the door to the album and this week is all about those songs. Some songs are just an eclectic choice and some songs set the mood for the entire album. Even though this is a normally quite eclectic podcast, this week really shows off how eclectic the Earbuddies can be.

Music:

M83 - Intro

Brian Eno - Sky Saw

David Bowie - Speed of Life

Big Business - Just as the Day was Dawning

Monument Valley 2 - Impossible Worlds

The Pixies - Debaser

Massive Attack - Angel

The Police - Synchronicity 1

Incubus - Privilege

Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock

Starflyer 59 - The Contest Completed

Best Coast - Boyfriend

This week is all about the ladies but in the opposite way as that creepy dude on Instagram who slides into the DMs. This is a celebration of talent and joy and music made for, by, or about women as our way of marking Women’s History Month (which is apparently March much to Amy’s surprise.)
