🎙️The Crow Rises Again: Metermaids, Madness & More! Episode 66

Listen Later

🔥 The DOD45 Show with Tai of ArtByTai proudly re-releases one of its most beloved episodes featuring Swell and Sentence of Strange Famous Records’ iconic duo, Metermaids! Originally aired on June 17, 2023, this absolute banger of an episode is back—thanks to Spotify’s boneheaded move of terminating the podcast’s account. But no worries, we’re back, better than ever, and ready to make you laugh, think, and groove all over again.

❤️ Tai, Adrienne, and the Metermaids formed a bond that only deepened after this episode aired—like breaking bread with Swell in his Brooklyn neighborhood diner and admiring Sentence’s unmatched kindness and authenticity.


🎨 Here’s What Went Down:

  • Tai created a jaw-dropping, one-of-a-kind piece: Cru from Rad reimagined as a crow on a BMX bike 🦅🚴. This artwork was inspired by the magnificence of the movie and Metermaids’ poignant song Kill the Crow from their Rooftop Shake album, featuring Sage Francis and Buck 65.
  • The crew faced laugh-out-loud Sophie's Choice moments like Shawn Kemp vs. Sean Bradley and CVS vs. Walgreens (with Swell hilariously banned from CVS—yes, really 🤣).
  • A hilariously terrifying tale about a pool ball stuck in someone’s mouth 🏊‍♂️🎱, Adrienne's legendary GWAR nap confession 🤯, Swell’s unexpected assless chaps story, and a wild Aardvark tale that has to be heard to be believed.
  • Reflections on their album A Line in the Sky, Swell’s undying love for Bruce Springsteen, and everyone’s unforgettable first concerts: Sentence rocked with Living Legends, Swell jammed to Bush, Adrienne went Hammer Time, and Tai vibed with Depeche Mode!


    • đź’¬ Special Segments:

    • Sage Francis’ Social Media Lurk inspires an unexpected baseball debate âšľ.
    • A dive into Interstellar’s mind-blowing black hole visuals 🌌.


      • 🎧 Must-Hear Recommendations from the Episode:

      🎵 "Everybody" by Wax Tailor (ft. Del the Funky Homosapien & Mr. Lif) – Underground perfection.

      🎵 "Funkier Than a Mosquito's Tweeter" by Nina Simone (Jazzeem's All Styles Remix) – Jazzy brilliance.
      🎬 "The Hummingbird Project" (2008) – A hidden gem of storytelling.
