This week, inspired by Earbuddy Jenny, he show is about those songs with that weird trivia behind them, like the song written by an NFL player, or the goth metal song that is really about a kitty cat.

After a couple of internet conversations (read: arguments) with folks that have fallen too far into the internet, Mitchell and Amy tackle paranoia and conspiracies through song this week. The Earbuddies have had their fill too and bring all the songs that give that unease, followed, and conspiratorial feeling.

This week is pretty much the definition of Earbuds and Earworms. The songs that we got from friends and mark special moments in our lives and our friendships. Whether we are traveling cross-country to meet internet friends, building treehouses, trying to pull a sneaky and introduce new music, or just driving in cars, bonding over sharing music is what Mitchell, Amy, and the Earbuddies do.

Look, the theme of the show isn’t Amy mispeaking over and over, but it happens, we have acknowledged it. Just tweet complaints at her manager, because it is absolutely shameful. The actual theme is covers, which hasn’t even been mentioned for two years...that’s pretty shameful as well. Anyhoo, Covers! Songs we love, but different!

This week, a very tired Amy and self-isolating before it was cool Mitchell, recorded a show that finally acknowledges the current global pandemic. They had been pretty quiet about it, but like, umm, they had to record remotely from each other. The Earbuddies brought some absolute perfect gems. This week’s show picture is from Jamie Harmon’s Shelter in Place Project.

Drafting off of last week’s theme of having an episode publish and not being edited properly, this week’s episode is about miscalculations, mistakes, and general oopsies. Let’s all just settle in and admit we all aren’t perfect and mistakes are just the human in us showing through with a playlist of whoopsi-doos.

Idlewild - Mistake Pageant

Bill Wurtz - Just Did A Bad Thing

This week, Mitchell and Amy collect songs about large bodies of water and Amy gets progressively more caffeinated as the show progresses. There is some really dumb levity in this one and cracking jokes is one of the ways to weather this week in the news.

As with any event in their lives, Mitchell and Amy make a theme of it and boy, oh boy, are there many many songs about vision, eyesight, eyeballs, and seeing.

In the early light of noon, Amy awoke from sleep to come up with a theme. The theme was “notable people” and that is what is on the plate this week! Mitchell, as always, has well thought out and researched commentary and Amy, for once, googled information on more than a single song. A flugelhorn is also buried in this episode as well, so listen closely.
