Earbuds And Earworms

This episode is all about chilling with some background music that isn’t too obtrusive but interesting enough to warrant a “Hey, who is this band?” Playing card games, sharing some drinks, just doing homework with some buddies, or racing around a video game track all needs a soundtrack and here we have that soundtrack.

In probably one of our most Christmassy of Christmas song shows, the Earbuddies brought some of the best tunes yet! Mitchell and Amy tell their shared story of what they think Epiphany means and the epic Van Halen/Billie Eilish “controversy” even gets a shout-out! Mitchell also took over the board and solved all the problems.

There are weeks when everything is just too much for a theme to encapsulate and that is when say “grab bag” and whatever is on your turntable, CD player, or iPod, is acceptable. Turns out that Matt Patton can move anybody to swooning and doom metal has been around since the late 1970s (like, for realz.) Still goofing around with a soundboard and it isn’t perfect but we aren’t as fuzzy as episode 164. Three cheers for audible improvement!

This week is all about the worker condition because everybody needs those dollah dollah bills to eat, sleep, and if we have time, be merry. Musicians write quite a bit about money, which Amy and Mitchell discuss. Also, fun fact, the two podcasters attempted recording a different way and well, much like all experimentation, it doesn’t always work perfectly the first time. Think of this as the punk rock distortion guitars of podcasts (just the vocals though, the music is as balanced as normal.)

Music:

Frank and Maury - Money Talks

Barrett Strong - Money (That’s What I Want)

Pink Floyd - Money

Nefarious Damn Thing - Money

Skeleton$ - STEPPER a.k.a. Work

Calloway - I Wanna Be Rich

Aloe Blacc - I Need a Dollar

Against Me! - Money Changes Everything

ZZ Top - Just Got Paid

The Comsat Angels - Ju Ju Money

The Equals - I’m a Poor Man

Louis Cole - Money

Sometimes Amy completely takes over the idea making and writes a prompt that isn’t as clear as she thinks it might be. Mitchell bears with her as she confuses Flock of Seagulls and Built to Spill. Much like the prompt, Amy is wandering around in what can only be a haze of a simple cold and meanders around the topic. The amazing tunes totally make up for the tangents. Also, listen thoroughly to know what kind of Mastodon fan you are. (Also, Amy gets some facts wrong on this episode, just tweet at her, she knows what she said wrong.)

There are a ton of songs about love and happiness that this show has given lots of love to but this week is all about those songs of jealousy, anger, and downright negativity. Mitchell and Amy reflect on when their dads told them they weren’t “angry, just disappointed” and what exactly jealousy is. The Earbuddies bring all the negativity to great effect and this is a really cathartic episode.

Music:

The Soft Boys - Insanely Jealous

Megadeth - Angry Again

The O’Jays - Back Stabbers

Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him

Type O Negative - Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity

This is an especially tangent filled spooky episode where the mystery of the bass drum blankie is explained as well as a dubious claim that the piano is a percussion instrument. Mitchell and Amy discover new things about metal concept albums about grandmas and what Ryan Gosling does in his free time.

Time could be a flat circle, or like, there are a couple of planes of time. Who even knows? Mitchell and Amy contemplate what even the heck time is and if it dilates or not, while the Earbuddies bring some tickers and tockers to the table. Big exciting times ahead!

In this meta beyond meta episode, this music podcast focuses on music about music. Yes, it hurts to even think about the layers but dang is it great! Lots of giggling from a sleep deprived Amy who learns how to pronounce a new word and won’t just let it go. Bless Mitchell, for he knows all the chords.
