In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie examine Anthem by Rush. I shouldn’t need to say much about this one, it’s literally based on an Ayn Rand book’s themes. It’s also a kick ass rock song without being overly complex in lyric or musicality.

This week in I Heard This Happened: different Jazz’s. Does that make sense? I said it cause it sounds confusing..

Nicky’s album this week is Underwater by Elephant Gym. Somewhere between jazz, funk, modern prog and hip hop, this album is great of purely thinky music. It keeps spiraling down, down, down. It’s primarily instrumental but does incorporate a few different vocalist on the second half. My favorite part is where the MC on Bad Dream keeps shifting between what I assume is Japanese and English.

Lizzie brings us Sprinkled Eyes by Dotschy Reinhardt. An interesting jazz guitar slash singer songwriter album by an German artist. It has moments where it carries the breezy feeling of Corrine Bailey Rae but with a more complicated guitar emphasis. Clearly trying to show off some jazz chops. Uber-feminist that I am *chuckle* I’m always happy to promote lady guitar players, maybe it’ll rub off on my daughter and get her away from Rihanna. I’d like to add that the english as a second language accent is endearing to me, especially since it;s jazz.

This week’s interview is with Alex Shaw, host of The Classical Liberal Podcast. Alex is I believe our first non-Ancap but I couldn’t resist having him on because his pod is super-duper entertaining. And as a guest he delivered the goods. (Seriously, sign up for the patreon because i had to cut out too much for time reasons.)

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie examine Cult Of Personality by Living Colour. Aside from being one of the greatest collection of musicians to ever perform, they also never shied away from making a statement. This particular song has always been a favorite. Where does it stand in my life after Ancap-ism?

This week in I Heard This Happened: some posthumous soul & one of the greatest band names i’ve ever seen..

Nicky’s album this week is Black Velvet by Charles Bradley. This dudes story is amazing enough but they did him right with this release. It captures the earnest soul of his previous releases but broadens the palate in great ways. My personal favorites are Luv Jones and Stay Away (a beautifully reimagined Nirvana cover.)

Lizzie brings us Schlock Value from Harmonica Lewinsky,  lo-fi garage-punk surf-sploitation contradiction that does more than enough justice to earn their name. Somewhere between the old B-52s & your cousin’s friends jamming in his basement, there is something to be said by meeting expectations and getting a warm sense of alignment.

This week’s interview is with Johnny Rocket, host of the once upon a time Johnny Rockets Launchpad and current host of Blast Off! With Johnny Rocket and the founder of our home The Launchpad Media. He is the one and only Rock & Roll Libertarian not to be confused with me, The Libertarian Music Guy. What a great interview tho...

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie examine Holy Wars...The Punishment Due by Megadeth classic. I think there is still some dispute over which angle it officially takes, anti religion or antiwar? Where did we end up?

This week in I Heard This Happened: some dark progressive shoegaze and a little bit of Indonesian pop-punk.

Nicky’s album this week is The Fall by SOM. I’m not sure why i’ve been on such an art rock kick but bandcamp never disappoints here. The album is way heavier than I consider shoegaze but its definitely droney as hell with super melodic airy vocals. Maybe even a spaced out version of Boy’s Night Out. It holds you in a dark soupy mess for the duration and makes you feel all sort of weird confused teenagery feelings. Don’t listen to if you need to adult that day.

Lizzie brings us Congratulations, You’re Getting Old by Linger. A fun upbeat album that waffles between classic Weezer and Bracket. It’s not quite a 90’s pastiche but hits all the notes the old skate punk used to have while maintaining a modern pop-rock production aesthetic. It’s also fun to listen to punk songs sung in English with foreign accents ala Millencolin, Hi-Standard, Wizo, Funeral Oration, Nicotine...

Honorable mention goes out to Melted by Pealds, a home studio album that almost brought it. Great songs but not quite there on production.

This week’s interview is with Tricia Stuart, one of the only Type-A libertarians I know and a fellow LPMC-Ohio member. We liked the conversation so much we had to do it twice...and bury some of it behind a pay-wall. Check out Tricia’s work here: @dailytaxation on twitter, or @ingodweme or @dailyupdatesonwhethertaxationistheftornot on Facebook. After that make her happy by stopping by her favorite charity @savethechildren/Yemen

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie examine the Joni Mitchel classic, later re-popularized by Counting Crows, Big Yellow Taxi. Nick you may or may not know is a big fan of nature and listening to an economic illiterate try and throw shade at the wrong places may have gotten under his bonnet.

This week in I Heard This Happened: some progressive instrumental rock with a dire message, a creative saxophone jazz offering and a bonus pop-punk offering from a previous feature.

Nicky’s album this week is Fire By The Silos by Toska. If you’re a fan of progressive music and you aren’t on bandcamp at least weekly, you are doing life wrong. This is yet another killer find of mostly instrumental prog-rock. The title track which is the only track with lyric, can easily be taken as a support of a libertarian worldview paints a get-wrenching portrait of how central planning can destroy individuals, not just nations.

Lizzie Brings us Becoming by Mammal Hands. After a difficult time finding an album to get into this week, Nicky threw her some of his scraps and she found something she could get behind. This album is a 3-song EP by a piano, sax, drums trio performing some form of improvisational jazz with some other more modern stylistic influences. Definitely an edventure and keeps the morose feel Lizzie so often likes.

As a bonus we mention Strings by Scott Sellers. I’m not sure how he cranked another out so fast but he builds on his previous offering and brings us a slightly more modern sound thats equal parts No Use For A Name  and Four Year Strong.

This week’s interview is with Jack V Lloyd of The Voluntaryist Comic and other various web sources. This is not the interview Nick had planned in many ways but was literally world shaping in others. Absolutely a Must Listen!

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie examine the 90’s party banger Doo Wop (That Thing) by Lauryn Hill. We feel like this one is especially prescient considering al the hubbub Kanye has been getting in for his critiques of his culture. Nothing new if you ask us.

This week in I Heard This Happened: pirate kids songs & more sad bastard music.

Nicky’s album this week is Sea Songs For Little Pirates by Jason Andre. Perhaps a break with character since it’s usually Lizzie bringing the kid’s songs, but I this was a last minute saving grace find. There’s a claim it’s even educational but really we’re just in it for the Args.

Lizzie per usual found us more of that sad bastard music she seems to love so much. Her choice this week is Ennui by Animal Sounds. While very in vein sonically this one does break character with the addition of some out of character bluesy guitar.

This week's interview is with Zama Rripa a musician bringing the liberty, love and peace with his newest record American Soul. We had a grand time talking about music and life and Mises with a very conscious and well read musician.

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie examine the Flobots classic Handlebars and take a look at what we can only see as the most confused rebuttal of capitalism ever conceived. Why didn’t this one make the cut? Let’s find out.

This week in I Heard This Happened: the world’s most musical hardcore, & the next model Todd Rundgren.

Nicky’s album this week is NoiSays by NoiSays. The album is something like what I imagine would happen if Miles Davis was born in the 90s and a product of divorce where mom & dad keep buying guitars and lessons to prove how much they love him but he only gets more angry. This is hands down one of the most musical hardcore records i’ve ever heard. I think they’re technically some variant of math-rock but they’re quite heavy. Highly recomended.

Also this week: Lizzie found the next incarnation of Todd Rundgren. Low Poly Breakfast by Nova Bound is a great pop-rock offering with hints of Wings, Metronomy and all the best of 70’s soft rock all milled about in there. Both of us really enjoyed this one.

This week’s interview is with Daniel Johnson of We Do Better. The organization is dedicated to making sure government money gets into the hands of organizations that get results. We had a blast with our conversation and sadly some of it was cut for time. Join the Freedom Choir to get the full interview.

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie begin by taking a look at Rabbit’s Revenge by Tom Morello featuring Bassnectar, Big Boi & Killer Mike. Things get heated on a number of fronts and it makes a nice prelude to the featured interview.

This week in I Heard This Happened: shimmery doom & synthy-pop?.  

Nicky's pick this week is Calm Black Water by REZN, out of Chicago. A dark (as name suggests) but shimmery (like icy water?) offering...maybe they named it more perfect than I can describe it...

Lizzie's pick is Marea EP by Telegraph Tehran, of Bolgna, Italy. Lizzie calls it pop, im not sold on that. Tell me I’m wrong.

This week we sneak in a quick bonus interview with a local Ohio Libertarian running for Geauga County Commissioner, Candace Loyd.

This week’s interview is with Antony Sammeroff of The Scottish Liberty Podcast. Lizzie geeked out at the idea of talking to a real live scottish person and maybe it was a tad unproductive. Easily our most combative episode, find out why!

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie break from the norm and approach a guest suggestion with perhaps the most incomprehensible lyrics we’ve ever addressed; specifically Carrot Rope by Pavement...I’m not sure we ever really grasped what it was about...

This week in I Heard This Happened: educational rap for kids & sad rainy sunday songs.  

Nicky's pick this week is Skylight by Pinegrove, a leathery alt-country/ folk offering. These are the least Jersey Jersey boys i’ve ever heard. Go check it out if you need to feel balanced on a crappy day. Lizzie's pick on the other hand is Baba Got Bars Vol III by Baba Bomani. This educational hip hop for kids is super entertaining. The standout track is The Black Entertainer which gives a history of black people in music over the Scott Joplin tune that paved the way for this history.

This week’s interview is with a personal favorite podcaster, Marc Clair of Lions Of Liberty. We talk to Marc about all the concerts we don’t get by not living in LA, his dark past as a Karaoke Host & even those formative years in good ol...

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie look at Take Back The Power by The Interrupters. Which side of the anarchist divide does it fall on?

This week in I Heard This Happened, Nicky visits Japan & Lizzie finds the warm safe spaces only classic pop rock can bring.

Nick’s choice Summer Touch by マクロスMACROSS 82-99, is a future-funk hip-hoppy, smooth-jazzy escapade, that encapsulates the best parts of summer nicely for year-round consumption. Lizzie on the other hand brings us Too Long So Long by Everett Almond, an Elvis Costello knock-off in all the ways you want that done, and at 4 tracks well worth the time investment.

This week’s interview is with the one and only Mr. Robert P Murphy. We cover a bunch of territory including karaoke, Les Mis, The Beatles & The Beastie Boys so i wont belabor further. Just listen.

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie make a contentious decision on Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On during analysis time. Nick was ready to hand out the coveted Eric July award but Lizzie brought him back to reality...how far did it slip?

This week in I Heard This Happened Nicky heads to thinky-dreamy land and Lizzie gets lost in the muck of some instrumental 60s throwback jazz.

Nicky brings us the cerebral The More I Sleep The Less I Dream by We Were Promised Jetpacks. An equally atmospheric and heavy offering these gents from the UK manage an ebb and flow hard to pull off and still sound cohesive let alone structured. Lizzie brings us Stop Thief! By Andre M which is something akin to pulling the fun swinging music from the terrible Austin Powers movies.

This week we break with the norm of an interview to talk about movies! In particular Music Movies. We take a look at five very different films: Rockstar, Ray, The Commitments, Idlewild & American Graffiti
