Song Buzzards

June 8th, 2017  •  This week’s episode has the Buzzards succeed at the south-of-the-equator challenge, but fail to find an artist from Antarctica or Madagascar. Don’t you worry!  We still have a healthy dose of marijuana cigarettes, coughing, and burping, as we educate the audience on the origins of thall and djent.  This episode runs through the six degrees of Surf Dads, adds another band to Cory’s “missing bands” list (spin-off series?), and asks the age-old question: Why you so short?

All kidding aside, this episode pays tribute to the best dog that ever lived, and our unofficial mascot, Roxy.  May you forever be stinky.

May 24th, 2017  •  This episode of Song Buzzards encountered a slew of technical difficulties, but ultimately makes its way to your ears.  After a 3 week Mother’s Day break, this week has the Buzzards talking about an almost-forgotten concert, the best cartoon ever (Doug), and just how many sticks a certain Bono can fit up his butt.  Also, Cory attempts to decide whether invisibility is a better super-power than shape-shifting, Devon mentions his favorite band: THE RADIOHEAD, and the boys ponder how much caramel could be in Carmel By The Sea, California.

Always remember:  If a dance party breaks out, you gotta put it on the podcast!

May 3rd, 2017  •  This episode of Song Buzzards is filled with silliness as our heroes rekindle their love for the bands they’ve (re)discovered from movies, toy around with the Wu-Tang Clan name generator (can you guess which one is Annoyin’ Genius and which is Quiet Professional?), and spout Seattle factoids (it rains a lot there). Also, the boys are segue masters, Cory coerces Devon into liking one of his bands by listing other bands, and Cory finds the Soorleys! You can bet your buckarooskis that this episode is gonna be excellent (unlike the Fyre Festival)!

April 12th, 2017  •  This week’s episode of Song Buzzards is remarkably mysterious. There’s the case of the missing band (which deserves a Song Buzzards spin-off, à la Serial), the mystery of how to use Twitter and Snapchat (seriously, can someone clue us in?), and the enigma that is Steve Urkel (did I do that?). Plus, the guys bring their picks for family bands including a band with twin brothers, as well as a band with sisters/husbands/brother-in-law, Devon’s kids rock out to Slothrust, and Cory schools everyone on grime music.

Also, please take a listen to these sounds with notes:

March 29th, 2017  •  This episode of Song Buzzards is truly an out-of-body experience (really?). The guys chat about quarter-life crises (not real) and the genre post-indie (probably not real), as well as tackle a pretty heavy-hitting discussion about origami (really…). The Buzzards also get a bit retro by name dropping Pink Floyd, Guns N Roses, and Janet Jackson, as well as discuss a few 80’s movies (a certain movie about a certain big foot totally holds up!). They also contemplate/argue about what the most important horn is in a ska band (the baritone, duh!).

So spit out that gross beer saliva and consume these yummy songs instead:

PLAZA - Origami (2:21)

Toyko - Stronger Love (13:05)

Loose Buttons - Am I the Only Reason? (24:02)

Yvette Young - The Tide (1:18:35)

March 15th, 2017  •  There are so many reasons to listen to this week’s Song Buzzards (né Vacuum/Yarn/Crime/Cowl Buzzards), especially witnessing our guest host, Corrin Magditch, confess her love for Hanson – so much Hanson knowledge is revealed! Corrin discusses Scandinavian crime dramas, Devon admits his disdain for climate change deniers, the group agrees that daylight savings needs to GTFO, and Cory’s sexism is at an all-time high (apparently all girls know French).

February 28th, 2017  •  After a nice long breather, the Song Buzzards are back to bring you fresh new music discoveries while mispronouncing way too many names (sincerely a return to form). During the hiatus they sought out new music (not seeked or sooked!), they reluctantly pledged their souls to the social media gods (@songbuzzards), they completed development of their handsome new website (you’re lookin’ at it!), and they finally recorded a new music discovery ditty (sorry, no more beeps and boops). Shit is straight up legit around here! So if you’re as smart as a whip you’d better start listening now!

December 15th, 2016  •  On this week’s episode of Song Buzzards, our heroes explore the many James Bond themes, which ones they love and which ones they loathe (we’re looking at you, Material Girl!). Listen as they chew on the term “gumshoe”, discuss the “6-keyboard super weapon”, and come up with an awesome new business: Tinder for bands (anyone need a bass player?). Cory will kind of bum you out at one point, but the web of bands surrounding Modern Baseball is certain to cheer you up. We also reveal the two things Silence of the Lambs and Jurrassic Park have in common (and it’s not Templeton the Rat).
