International Internet Strangers

Damon & Xen kick off the second part of Damon's first contribution. They discuss an accidental quarantine anthem, herding drunks around London, and how Damon was accidentally thoughtful and mature. Songs are:

Jellybelly - Smashing Pumpkins

Pass It Along - Chumbawamba

Shameless (live) - Ani DiFranco

Creep - Radiohead

Teenager - Deftones

History of a Boring Town - Less Than Jake

When I Fall (live) - Barenaked Ladies

Damon & Xen ask each other about things in their respective countries. Damon kinda forces a boring civics lesson, they talk about the naming history of a certain wrestling promotion, and discuss people in the national news

Damon & Xen wrap up the first disc of Damon's first mix. They finally discuss Chumbawamba at an appropriate moment, un-follow-upable singles, and Xen declares their favourite track on the disc.

Songs covered: "The Man who Sold The World" - Nirvana

"I Will Survive" - CAKE

"Hungry Like the Wolf" - Reel Big Fish

"Kiss Off" (live) - Violent Femmes

"Healthy Body" - Operation Ivy

"All You Need" - Sublime

"Maxwell Murder" - Rancid

"G.S.F." - MxPx

"Comedown" - Bush

"Wish You Were Here" - Wyclef Jean

"Scapegoat" - Chumbawamba

Full Playlist on YouTube and our best approximation on Spotify

Damon & Xen tackle the middle bit of Damon's first mixtape in their exchange. They refrain from talking too long about Chumbawamba and damn Dave Grohl with faint praise.

Damon & Xen take their first crack at Damon's first offering in the mixtape exchange: 154 Minutes Spent Pondering Issues Related to Nothing At All, a title vainly hoping to suggest Fiona Apple. You can find the whole playlist on YouTube or Spotify, though they only get through the first five songs:

"Mellon Collie and the Inifinite Sadness" - Smashing Pumpkins

"O Maria" - Beck

"Why Can't I Be You?" (Acoustic) - The Cure

"Dead Man Walking" (Live on Conan) - David Bowie

"Pool Shark" (Acoustic) - Sublime

Damon & Xen get together to celebrate the music of David Bowie and their experiences with it. There's trivia, and live bootlegs, and slightly inaccurate details. Rest assured, beautiful babies, that they looked up the correct details immediately, but if you need to let them know something, there's Facebook and Twitter and Email

You may rightly assume from the title, and if you've been following our social media, that this horror movie discussion was supposed to go up on Christmas Day. There is exactly one person upset by the technical delays of this episode, and that's Damon. One must assume that all our delightful subscribers are simply elated at new content. Damon & Xen discuss their favourite movies in the subcategories of Slasher, Creature, Paranormal and Body Horror. It's an episode full to the brim with movie suggestions, we'd love to hear if you watched anything because of this episode

Damon & Xen take a moment to talk about Christmas movies that aren't Christmas movies, Mormon holiday traditions (or the lack thereof), and Wes Anderson. The corrections department would like to point out that Hugo Drax was the villain in Moonraker and the underwater Bond movie that Damon was thinking of was The Spy Who Loved Me.

Damon & Xen finish off the first mixtape and finally determine whether you can separate the art from the sins of the artist.

Damon & Xen return again to 2002 to tackle Indian cinema, the struggles of writing your second album, and the value of songs that mention places you know.
