The Low Standards and Pours Musicast

Tonights podcast was about the band we saw at Masonic Temple in Detroit, MI. October 23rd 2024. The The from London, UK. 

The The and Matt Johnson put on a soulfully mix of songs that included 2 sets. The first in its entirety "Ensoulment" and the 2nd set from all their classics, including: Sweet Birds of Truth, Infected, GIANT and Uncertain Smile. A concert that will go down into the record books as one most respected and enjoyed. 

Remember, you never paid for any of this...its always LIVE and unrehearsed and unedited. We give the music to you the listener. 

It's always an Unguarded Moment. Thanks for supporting us, we appreciate it. 

See you next week-

Tonight we showcased a group of bands that are associated with one of the most unique, influential and creative music producers of all time. An eclectic mix of genres that together has become some of the most recognized songs we continue to hear today. From Rap, to R&B, to Metal and Funk. Songs that will never get old. Songs that tell a story. Bands like The Beastie Boys, Run DMC, The Cult, Adele, Johnny Cash, The Junk Yard Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, System of a Down and many many more...a producer respected on creativity and reputation. His name is Rick Rubin.

Thanks for listening and check us out next week. Always live, never researched and never edited

It's an Unguarded Moment

Tonight we changed the format a bit and showcased a few bands, The Cure and their new song Alone, The Tragically Hip and a beautiful solo artist Sarah Mclachlan both from our neighboring country of Canada. For us in Detroit, a 20 minute ride to the border...The Hip is a rock band fronted by poet and songwriter Gord Downie that passed in 2016. Their music was revered as an anthem to the country of Canada...respectfully singing about both the Canadian folklore and history it has to offer. The Hip did their way. Respected in the world of music. 

Sarah Mclachlan is also one of the most respected female solo artists of the 1990's and 2000's and the creator of Lilith Fair. She also is Canadian. Her voice is undeniable on of the best. 

Please watch the 4 part series on Prime TV: The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal

and also their last live show ....Man, Machine, Poem. You can find it on Youtube-

Thanks for listening and remember, it's always an Unguarded Moment

Tonight we played "Stump the Chump" and our Co Host El Carpe was the .....well, with a little help...you listen and decide (he cheated, just like his golf game). We showcased eclectic, iconic, diverse brilliant singer song writers that have stood the test of time. We previewed musicians and bands from the 60's through the 90's (except for one somewhat overrated "musician/artist"). They all have unique qualities that separate themselves from everyone else heard today, literally. Our focus was to remind you of lost music that you no longer hear on the radio (thanks Bill Clinton). Who the heck listens to the radio anymore anyway. These are all a reminder of the beautiful music that is becoming more difficult to experience. Buy that vinyl and invite friends over...read your liner notes. Who are we talking about? 

The Pixies, REM, Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance), Dave Mathews Band, Patti Smith, The Replacements (please go buy the album "Let it Be"), Queen (Rolling Stones voted number 1 band to see LIVE for nearly a decade), Carly Simon, Paul Simon, Nirvana, Sugarcubes and.....well, nevermind....not mentioning the last one.

Remember, our show is never edited, rehearsed, researched...its always LIVE just like Memorex (probably too young to remember). So, dig into your parents vinyl and CD collection and give them a spin, you wont regret it. Most of today's music sucks.

It's ALWAYS an unguarded moment. Thanks for listening. We might be on next week, and maybe on time, El Carpe.

SUMMER TIME !  Sure, it's almost over, but we sure wanna talk about the songs that make us remember good fun summers - listen in and see if some of these tunes take you to a fun summer event in your life's history.

Join us for a fun, silly and barely informative show about SUMMER TUNES !  (or at least what we could come up with after a long weekend of sun and fun.)

We talked about and listened to bands like:  The Surfaris, Bananarama, Tom Tom club, Fun Boy Three, Link Wray, Eddie Cochran, The Kinks, Booker T and the MG's, the Beach Boys (of course), Katrina and the Waves, Smash Mouth, The Hollies, the Stray Cats, Oingo Boingo, and more and more Link Wray... we love them tunes.  

Yes, another award winning show in the can and archived in the Library of Congress.  We know we left out about 396 other amazing summertime classics... but we only have so much time... hopefully we touched on some that you might like and say "holy wow, I forgot about that one" and give them another listen or seven.

Thanks for joining in, and remember - to join our super schitty committee - all ya gotta to is call in, or message us during the show... "Pour Me Another Brother" - and you are part of our crew !
