Earbuds And Earworms

This week, Mitchell and Amy discuss the songs that we think are “that one good song” from a band that we otherwise think may be “generic garbage.” (Not my words!) While we end up defending many of the bands to the Earbuddies, Steam Powered Giraffe is not one of them. Also, Mitchell sings! Don’t miss your chance to vote for E&E in the Best of Memphis 2018 (Link below).

This week, at the prompting of Earbuddy Naomi, Mitchell and Amy tackle the subject of diss tracks, most specifically diss tracks to other genres. There are a surprising amount of genre diss tracks and even personal grudge songs. They get introspective about the territorialism within musical genre fan groups and share a pretty unpopular hot take on “a voice of a generation.”

Amy has just discovered Vaporwave because of Mitchell’s mild case of love for the genre (it is probably more than mild.) Jacques requested it and E&E went with it in their first ever exploration of a single genre. It has a wide range of sounds within the genre and Amy says “like” quite a bit and confuses Justice Clarence Thomas with Justice Potter Stewart.
