Song Buzzards

November 10th, 2016  •  On this week’s Song Buzzards thing, although our heroes have opposing views on both Daylight Savings and the definition of “meh”, they can agree on one item: Kangaroo Gulch, Australia is a real place! Aside from joking around about Pure Moods, French lullabies, Google Translate, and disgusting food combinations, Cory breaks Devon’s heart, Devon gets creeped out by an album cover, and they both struggle to identify Bob’s Burgers characters. Also, plenty of Crickets, some southern accents, and a really obscure Ghostbusters reference.

This episode may not be your favorite, but it’s better than okay! Plus, these things rule:

October 26th, 2016  •  This time on Song Buzzards, our heroes prove their age by talking about concert parking (of all things!), Cory has a bitter realization that he doesn’t know how to read international numeric dates, Devon gets confused about the differences between MOCA and MOMA, and most of Devon’s songs remind Cory of The 1975. Also, the guys listen to songs that feature Kazoo and Ukulele sections as well as meowing cats, bond by figuring out together what Placebo song they both love, and pitch the idea of a new podcast starring Devon’s dad and Cory’s mom.

October 11th, 2016  •  On this extended edition of Song Buzzards, our heroes field their first ever fan-submitted question (from their one-and-only fan) making the intro long as hell. The guys talk about hipster cassette collections, dispute the existence of the yawn gland, and figure out the correct pronunciation of Ray LaMontaGooGoo’s last name. Cory admits his passion for converting foreign currency, everything comes full circle, and maybe (just maybe) Song Buzzards can change the world!

September 28th, 2016  •  On this week’s riveting Song Buzzards episode, our heroes laugh, cry, and fight over the last note on the “Music Discovery” theme song. But all is forgiven when they bond over conversations about their first concerts, the wizardry of Phil Collins, and their love for Q-Tip and Q-Tips. Devon reveals his past connection to Alanis Morissette’s lyrics as a 15-year old, while Cory looks up South Dakota on a map, and they try to put their heads together to figure out what genre best fits Lana Del Rey. There’s also some talk about David Lynch and surrealist pornography, and some tips on how to stay away from cabins in woods. You’re gonna need some milk.

September 14th, 2016  •  After celebrating Labor Day for 3 weeks straight, Song Buzzards is back with a barrel full of new music discoveries! Devon’s back with stories from his crabby vacation and ready to scrub his ears out with ear bleach because Cory’s back with his love for obscure instruments like flugelhorns, Rhodes pianos and cowbells! And, among some weird discussions about epic off-Broadway musicals and voodoo rocking horses, our heroes have brought their most eclectic music to date. Including the challenge of bringing an “unknown” band that has broken up, which sparks plenty o’ nostalgia.

And although their random discussions about The Clapper and Chia Pets may make you giggle, the guys “get real” this episode and really focus on the hard-hitting issues including how criminals are really a good thing, cannibalism in Papa New Guinea, The Muppets, and their pal Wynona Ryder. Cory reveals his money-saving techniques while recording at the studio, Devon feels the need to write a poetic intro for each of his songs, and the guys discuss their upcoming (fake) trip to Belgium.

As Devon belts out “God Bless ‘Merica,” they reminisce about trips to Broadway to see musicals and visit the Virgin Megastore, profess their undying love for deviled eggs, and make fun of their parents for being tech-myopic.
