Earbuds And Earworms

Some stuff has been going down in politics for a couple of years that ranckles quite a few of us, but generally the show has not gotten overtly political. So, this week, we decided to give up the charade and go super political with an episode about political songs. Mitchell and Amy don’t hide their political views, so yeah, something you may not agree with won’t be excluded. Buckle in and let’s get political.

Music:

The Honey Dippers - Impeach the President

The Long Winters - Make America Great Again

Husker Du - Divide and Conquer

Randy Newman - Great Nations of Europe

Risky Whispers - Endangered Species

Sleater Kinney - Combat Rock

The Mice - Not Proud of the USA

Cosby Stills Nash & Young - Ohio

Young Statues - True Liberty

Shoji Meguro - Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There

Simon & Garfunkel - Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream

This week is all about knocking off the haters and having brightened days. The Earbuddies have a vast array of day brighteners and Mitchell shares his love of Hanson. Past Amy called to correct Present Amy, maybe? It is a pretty giddy show that will bring some rays of light!

In celebration of the autumnal briskness in the air, Mitchell and Amy decide to have a song of the fall collection! Music theory discourse is had and while Amy understands what 12/8 means, she is simply going to ignore it. Mitchell keeps Amy on track on exactly which song has insects and there is a voicemail!

The whole spectrum of feels are represented this week while Amy and Mitchell discuss relatable songs. We all get awkward with people we like and get nagged by our own brains. Feel squishy, feel awkward, get better about health, and ponder if there is a need for Ritalin this week with the Earbuddies.

The Earbuddies stepped up this week to share their stories of live bands that have seen and one Earbuddy’s story completely wrecks Amy’s composure for the rest of the show. Mitchell enjoys using the word “titular” and also joins in on destroying any composure that Amy even attempts to put together. Beards are woven together and mustaches are entangled.

Mitchell and Amy take and run with a suggestion from Earbuddy Craig. This week is all types of interpretations of what in the world a collaboration is. Mary J. Blige saves a U2 song and Amy has a medical moment about muscle death. Mitchell also explains what could make U2 better.

Earbuddy David suggested parody and novelty songs and Mitchell and Amy wade into the deep waters of parodies. Amy gets plenty tongue-tied and forgets the name of a Beatle and also forgets how to talk. Mitchell saves the day and brings knowledge!
