Song Buzzards

December 16th, 2019  •  We got another episode in before Christmas! Normally around Christmas you enjoy an increase in gifts, but this episode has 2 fewer songs than usual. We’ve done this to teach you to appreciate what you have before it’s gone. That’s a good holiday lesson. Also, that’s a lie, Devon just forgot how many songs we were doing this season. Never trust Devon. That’s another good holiday lesson. Join us this week as we talk about chanting, nudity, and Tom Petty. If that doesn’t sound like a cult I don’t know what does. Happy Holidays everyone!

November 4th, 2019  •  I hope everyone is prepared to expand their electronic horizons! This episode, we all bring at least some electronic music, but our guest host Olivia speaks about the genre in a way that Devon & Cory never could. Join the 3 of us as we discover that Devon doesn’t take notes, Cory brings 5 songs in 1, and we all bond over our love for MGMT. Also, how much are you into canvas 6-pack bags? If you own one, this may be your favorite Song Buzzards episode of all time. Did I mention that even the beer Olivia brings is called Techno?

October 15th, 2019  •  This episode has been catered to Cory’s likes. We talk about Cory’s birthday, listen to bands with horns, point out interesting snare drum notes, play a Motown-inspired track, and go on-and-on about Blink-182, all while Cory solves a Rubik’s cube. If you’re Cory, this episode has it all. If you’re someone else, this episode has a few things. So sit back and listen to our Extreme tangent about Extreme the band, while we try and fail to make it through this episode before Devon is fired.

September 23rd, 2019  •  Welcome to the first episode of recent release that did not take a year and a half to produce. To prove we still got it, please enjoy our riveting discussions about laundry, mowing the grass, lamp posts, and perhaps some music when we remember. We’ve got songs named after lakes, songs about fear of snakes, and songs recorded in a haunted place. Honestly, not enough people even read these descriptions to warrant the amount of time I spent rhyming that last line. Or the amount of time I spent googling how to spell “rhyming”. Stop reading. Press play.

September 1st, 2019  •  Season 3.2, Episode 1. Song Buzzards Episode 45. New format, new location, new year, new bands, new songs, new episode graphic. We’re back! With 10 discoveries per episode, plus 1 bonus song, we take things back to our Song Buzzards roots: Less talk, more rock. We’ve been away for so long that most of you will get this new-episode notification on your phone and think it’s a virus. All things considered, that isn’t far from the truth. It’s like an ear infection, but you want to get it. Feel free to use a vacation day at work. This episode is worth it.

May 21st, 2018  •  Listen.  It took us a bit to record this episode.  Don’t worry.  We’ve both had multiple haircuts since our last episode to ensure we bring you our best selves.  On this episode we agree that The Flash’s real name must be Caleb Quick, Cory’s unhealthy obsession with ghosts continues, and Devon almost becomes a ghost via electric shock.  We also discuss two very underrated instruments (the sad trumpet, and the space echo), convince wives that too much vinyl is never a bad thing, and succumb to the power of science.  We will try our hardest to not take another break-long month.  We will pencil it in.  On a stone.

Easter happened.  There was ham, there was chocolate, there was pineapple, and much like this new episode of Song Buzzards – it was a solid 6 out of 10.  In this accidental easy-listening-themed episode, Devon gets no sleep, Cory features a not-so-super group, and we all reminisce about MTV’s Best 100 Music Videos of All Time.  Did you know that 1979 was popular in 1995?  Did you know that the best part of a song is typically when the silence stops, and the music starts?  Did you also know that bees have a second stomach just for honey?  Find out these and other interesting facts on this episode of Bee Buzzards.

March 26th, 2018  •  Welp, not even a Spring blizzard could stop Episode 42, however it did do a great job delaying its arrival.  A Spring blizzard is about as rare as Nada Surf playing ‘Popular’ live, or Radiohead playing ‘Creep’, or Song Buzzards releasing an episode on schedule.  This episode we talk about how album covers make all the difference, and discover that bonus points are awarded if the music has tempo changes, or makes you feel like you’re in danger.  Also, we learn that Devon’s dog hates Apple and Spotify, Devon’s pronunciation sucks, and that Devon loves the name Darlene.  We learn nothing about Cory.

March 1st, 2018  •  You guys!  It’s Season 3!  Music still exists, and therefore, so must Song Buzzards.  Who will be the INHEAVEN and Charly Bliss of 2018?  Well, bust out your Radel Tanpura Box and play along with us, as we pack Coen Brothers references into the first 8 songs of the year.  Devon discovers that he accidentally made a fire-themed playlist, Cory can’t stop cussing, and we talk about how some songs are just “more favorite” than others.  We have a lot in store for Season 3, and it begins today with a brand new closing segment born out of Devon’s newfound vinyl obsession.  So enjoy the beginning of the new Season.  We’ll try to make it our best one!
