CONTENT WARNING: Discussion (but not really spoilers) for the video game Disco Elysium, including mention of some of the dark themes it covers and the fact that it has a LOT of the use of a specific homophobic slur.

Hannah Davey and Tyler Hartman are here to talk about music! Tyler is a dad rock (formerly punk) musician with industry knowledge and music production experience, Hannah Davey is a media enthusiast, writer, and podcast producer with opinions.

Hannah Davey has, in an unusual twist, fallen in love with a video game! Very unlike them. They discuss a bit of what playing Disco Elysium is like (not a happy time, but an interesting and occasionally hilarious time) and the playlist they built to capture the feeling of the game and the way that they experienced it. Tyler is so impressed with people who take art and make it their own, making the world bigger and cooler because of their interpretation. We also discuss covering songs and what that means to Tyler, and he discusses his plan for covering a song from the movie ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ that hit him hard.

The band Murder by Death made it to Hannah Davey’s Top Band of Spotify 2022 on their Spotify Wrapped, and it was up there on Tyler’s Spotify Wrapped for 2022 as well. It’s been a while since we recorded our thoughts on music, but HD is ready to talk about the MBD vibe and Amigo the Devil’s in-concert charisma, and Tyler shares his past experiences listening to both bands and seeing them live.

Tyler is very excited to talk about Nick Lutsko’s latest album, ’Swords.’ He compares Nick Lutsko to Tim Kasher’s album ‘Cursive,’ Hannah Davey sees some Lemon Demon in this, and the two of them talk about the beautiful value of song composition. Tyler recommends Nick Lutsko's music videos, too, especially to the song “All Shook Up,” which is his favorite song (not on the ’Swords’ album). This leads us into discussing the value of brats and hot dogs. Stick around for a couple minutes after the outro to get a little glimpse into HD’s Texas non-adventure, too—this conversation has a lot of layers.

Tyler and his friend Derrick reminisce about their experiences playing various venues in Minneapolis, like the Red Raven, where it was a struggle to get an audience but a great space with great potential. Hannah Davey and Tyler interview Derrick about his process of making music, which is lyrics-heavy work compared to Tyler’s song-first-then-lyrics process. We get into what got all of us into hip hop music, too, and we have a whole list of albums to check out if you like nu metal (thanks, Derrick and Tyler) and esoteric indie rap.

It can be hard to make a name for yourself in the music world, but what if the name you choose is disgusting? We say a lot of really bad words and troubling phrases in this episode as we talk about wet and nasty bands you can’t wear merch for if you’re going to be seen in public. Good music, though! Always good music.

Tyler put out an album of covers, and he goes into the process of what that was like. There’s horror stories and a triumphant ending. Hannah Davey loves a good bureaucracy story, because they’re very unwell. We blame Napster for not crediting art correctly. We also briefly talk about the importance of paying for art you like, directly supporting creators, and the importance of paying for your adult special fun time content.
