Earbuds And Earworms

This week is all about that quiet time that one either enjoys or totally doesn’t enjoy. Mitchell and Amy celebrate the wanted or unwanted isolation in which to make weird instruments and funky paintings in Sweden.

In an attempt to tie one episode thematically to the previous, Mitchell and Amy attempt modern/ first world problems like having the mill break down. It gets reminiscent of the hopeful days in October 2016, but also tackles why ladies don’t want to date you (Dose is so cute). Amy makes weird sounds and Mitchell knows the complete history of Why?.

There are simply so many questions. Questions about life, love, and is that the guy who punched me in the face? Amy pushes through her morning voice while Mitchell reminisces about the coffee he left in the car while crafting this show that is all about questions.

It’s an exploration of the olfactory sense through song. Amy has opinions on rotting fruit and Mitchell is convinced Amy’s cat is not the most evil thing on the planet. That  sentence does make sense, we assure you.

Since evading the theme of drugs for nearly three years, Mitchell and Amy finally tackle one of the Earbuddies favorite themes (ya’ll sure had a lotta songs in your pockets). There is plenty of giggling and conversations about stereotypes. If you missed listening to terrible selections from Amy, this is the show for you.

John Hartford - Holding

Amy had to go to a class this week and has decided to get dorky so Mitchell and Amy get songs from the Earbuddies about CPR, heart stuff, and generally “stayin’ alive.” There was actual research from Amy that happened on more than one song. Added bonus, Mitchell sings quite a bit on this one.

Music:

Bee Gees - Stayin Alive

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

The Cars - Heartbeat City

Herman’s Hermits - Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat

The Torn ACLs - Two Four Six Eight

Nine Inch Nails - We’re In this Together

P.O.D. - Alive

Hurl - Forget to Breathe

Metric - Help I’m Alive

The Magnetic Fields - Epitaph for my Heart

Cave In - Reanimation

Much like a game show, Mitchell and Amy ask the listeners to start a dance party with one song. Turns out, Amy just wants to sway lightly and Mitchell has all the alien dance moves that David Byrne may be able to compete with. There may be some infuriating forgetting of a certain possible punk’s first band’s name. You know, like normal.

From washboard wrestling to tubular bells, this week’s song selections remind us that hey, we are are making it and getting better at whatever it is! No matter how many times we miss the green light by just a smidge, there is always a brighter side.

Some songs are meant for kids and some songs just sound like they are for kids but maybe aren’t. Earbuddy Brandon suggested that Mitchell and Amy should tackle unexpected and alternative children’s songs. Amy uses her easily available small expert to get the child’s take and well, Ru holds no punches.
