  • Episode 127: Car Situationists
    Rory pitches the Alloy TV show and reports in from Goodwood, including chance encounters (positive and negative) and how it still manages to be cool & feel good. Plus, Peter reports back from IMSA... how's that going, man? Oh boy.
    As always, keep up with Rory over at Alloy! Here's that Muzquiz piece: https://alloymag.com/alternatives/ and Amy Shore's photos: https://alloymag.com/lens-goodwood-revival-26/ (p.s. if viewing that Goodwood recap on your desktop browser, just click and drag the photos with your mouse to look through Amy's cool pix!)
    Latter audio interstitial (instrumental) is a looping gtr intro from Peter's gig in Ithaca because I (matty) get to pick the music cues hehehe :) And you can hear more of his instrumental stuff here: https://peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/album/dissociation-loops
    Earlier audio interstitial with the line about "Debordian guile" is from "The 101st" by Franklin Bruno, released on Shrimper 7" A Sand Dollar Relief Map in 1995. (Franklin's newer band The Human Hearts has a new record coming out in November called Faith & Credit that is very good!!)

    Your producer pal Matty got a real job and it's really harshing his whole vibe, but episodes will continue to be edited after the 9-5 grind.

  • Episode 121: Why Am I The Guy On The Roof?
    Peter and Rory bring a Watkins Glen anecdote, Matty explains why the pod is his only source of income again, and we ask: when the Air Quality Index does that, what exactly are we all supposed to... do?

    Your producer pal Matty would like to thank you all for sticking with us during the slow summer updates. We're trying to get back to recording twice a week!
    Production note, also: usually for music interstitials I've been using Peter's music, but just for on-topic funsies, the short interstitials in this episode include Nothing Painted Blue's "Going to Fontana" and an instrumental selection from Charlie McAlister (RIP) in "Darla Come Down From Jackson" from his classic Mississippi Luau, and also "Raise This Barn" by Wckr Spgt. There's also the other thing but that's in the background. It's fine.

    Your producer pal Matty would like to apologize for any audio weirdness you experience in this episode. Same EQ settings in the mix as always! But on phone speakers, one of the midrange frequencies may buzz a little behind Rory for unknown reasons.
