Earbuds And Earworms

Jason is back from Florida and tells about his adventure meeting his sister.  This week’s theme brings a menagerie of songs about animals which is absolutely gleeful.  Listener Feedback also holds some delights and a fantastic pair of stories from Earbuddy Bet.  Cuddle up next to your favorite critter, turn up the volume, and enjoy this fuzzy episode.   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Music: Neon Trees - Animal B-52’s - Rock Lobster The Handsome Family - Octupus Pink Floyd - Dogs The Flaming Lips - I Can Be A Frog Primus - Winona’s Big Brown Beaver Neko Case - Maybe Sparrow Umphrey’s McGee - Hurt Bird Bath Yellow Ostrich - Whale Gorilla Biscuits - Cats and Dogs Survivor - Eye of the Tiger Super Furry Animals - Fuzzy Birds Johnny Cash ft.

Jason is off meeting his sister for the first time, so Amy brings Mike Frizzell of Little Red Bandwagon to the show where they go “inside to the power of inside” and recreate TBTL’s “Defend Yourself: IPod edition.”  Mike and Amy both bring songs that may not be the most popular but do have sentimental stories behind them.     Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Music: The Youngbloods - Get Together Kenny G - Sentimental Joe Jackson - Kinda Kute NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye Graham Parker - Wrapping Paper Doris Day - Que Sera, Sera Cake - Never There Chris Gaines - Lost in You Adele - Don’t You Remember   Show Picture: http://interlochenpublicradio.org/post/so-we-made-you-mixtape-week-green-room#stream/0

Jason and Amy put on their spiky vests and board the subway train to the pod-workplace to discuss commuting and getting to work.  There are more overt signs of rule bending on this episode but they still seem to make each song about commuting.  Jason makes his way to a plane to meet a sister and Amy explains some plans for next week’s episode.  Make sure you queue this one up for that treacherous road to work.   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Kriss Kross - I Missed the Bus The Eversons - Going Back to Work The Seven Dwarves - Heigh Ho Motörhead - (We Are) The Road Crew Valerie June - Workin’ Woman Blues Duke Ellington - Take The A Train Bob Seger and the Silver Bullets- Makin’ Thunderbirds Radiohead - Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box Dolly Parton - 9 - 5 Barney and Friends - Cross the Street Song Sesame Street cast - Subway!

Jason and Amy meander in sluggishly before getting pepped up on songs about coffee. Jason saw some animals and Amy missed a question on a quiz which she finds quite bothersome.  In the feedback segment, a voicemail confuses Amy.     Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837 Music: The White Stripes - One More Cup of Coffee Deathcab for Cutie - Wait Frank Sinatra - The Coffee Song Mississippi John Hurt - Coffee Blues EmmyLou Harris and Rodney Crowell - Black Caffeine Otis Redding - Cigarettes and Coffee Squeeze - Black Coffee in Bed Lagwagon - Mr. Coffee Don’t Trust the Radio - Coffee and Kerosene Dana Louise and The Glorious Birds - Coffee Morning Musume - Morning Coffee Ken Woodley - Coffee Lova

Both Amy and Jason are sleepy this week and a poll said that sleep won for theme of the week.  Amy comes prepared with her jammies, bathrobe, and wine while Jason is forced to put on pants to record.  Get your blankets out and your slippers on, it is going to be a chill ride.  Flute is still in the shop, guys, the podcasters are very sad about it.

Amy and Jason totally dive into the the bands that you haven’t even heard of (or you give quizzical looks to when your friends mention the band and you don’t acknowledge that the band is the bestest ever).  Pretty much, they get super meta and Amy’s flute is in the shop….Jason’s drum is not...be warned.   Grupo Jobu - The Man Who Died of Laughing Alt J - Breezeblocks Holy Gallows - 250 Very Quick Deaths Mild High Club - Windowpane Princess Chelsea - Yulia Common Law Cabin - Simple Songs Nate Augustus and the Gladezman - Fallin’ Off the Wagon Judgement of Paris - The Lessons Life Without Buildings - The Leanover Manchester Orchestra - Every Stone

Jason and Amy are back at it again with the podcast!  Jason gets Amy back for trolling him and they get into “spoken word” in music.  There is a total geek out on British baking and it doesn’t get ugly, no matter how many of the sponge cakes have soggy bottoms.  Plenty of Earbuddies’ suggestions bring back nostalgia and glee. Amy is working towards making a special flute segment just for that one special cohost of hers.   Music:   Leonard Cohen - A Thousand Kisses Deep Suzanne Vega - Tom’s Diner Lou Reed - Dirty Blvd Isaac Hayes - By the Time I Get to Phoenix The Books - Venice Listener - Wooden Heart KRS-One and Saul Williams - Ocean Within William Shatner - Common People 2pac Shakur - California Love Commander Cody and his lost planet Airmen - Hot Rod Lincoln Tom Waits - Jockey Full of Bourbon Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - My Oh My

Amy trolls Jason in this travel episode and tries to convince him that she can join Deep Purple and win the Grammy award for Best Heavy Metal Group.  They got some fantastic feedback from listener Mike and this week’s Earbuddies segment is a shining gem of traveling tunes!  Pack your bags and make the sure the TSA doesn’t take your toothpaste!   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Voicemail Line: 731-400-BUDS Website: www.eandepod.com Music:   Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Take Me Home Country Road Tom Chapin - A Long Way Home Johnny Cash - I’ve Been Everywhere Deep Purple - Highway Star Those Dancing Days - Run Run Cake - The Distance The Kinks - This Time Tomorrow The Wind and The Wave - My Mama Said Be Careful Where You Lay Your Head Jim Croce - I Got a Name Counting Crows - God of Ocean Tides Blouse - Time Travel

Jason and Amy stumble upon a plethora of Earbuddy suggestions this week and delve deep into many covers of songs in all sorts of genres.  Jason tells about a famous astrophysicist taking off his shoes and Amy misses her Honda Fit this week.  They also get their very first sharpshoot about a song played on last week’s show!   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Phone: 731-400-BUDS Website: eandepod.com   Songs Iron and Wine - Sick of You GWAR - Carry On My Wayward Son Seu Jorge - Life on Mars The Sundays - Wild Horses Thursday - Ny Batteri Earth Wind and Fire - Got To Get You Into My Life Reel Big Fish - Unity Angéle Anise with Charlie Coffeen and Tyler Berg - B!tch Don’t Kill My Vibe Erykah Badu - Hotline Bling Coheed and Cambria - The Trooper Letters to Cleo - I Want You to Want Me Ryan Adams - Wildest Dreams Obadiah Parker - Hey Ya Show Picture: Still from Hi Fidelity

In this extended length episode, Amy and Jason come together again to keep the protesting going on.  Also, they wanted to cram as many Earbuddies songs in and finish up that interview!  Don’t listen with the young ones because we do have a cuss-filled conversation and explicit lyrics.  Also, Woodie Guthrie wrote a lot of protest songs.   Important Links: Modest Mouse Rant: https://youtu.be/jZCiUrkkElU   Guthrie’s Feelings on Fred C.

Jason and Amy break with their unspoken agreement to leave politics out (well, except that one episode which we don’t talk about anymore) and hash out some political feelings.  Protests are the name of the game this week and next week!  Craig, from Eureka Podcast, joins Jason and Amy for their very first interview that sometimes swerves off of music.  Get your markers and your posterboard!

Jason gets to let his inner old man shine while picking this week’s theme!  Grab your prune juice and rub your knees as Amy and Jason discuss the WEATHER!  Weather here, weather there...some old southern impressions and spoilers from Twin Peaks (the show is only 27 years old!) are in store for the listener this week.  Get out your ear horns and flip to the weather channel!   Reach out to us at eandepod@gmail.com or 731-400-BUDS if you want to own the final song!   Music: The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble - Couldn’t Stand the Weather Garth Brooks - The Thunder Rolls Bobbie Gentry - Stormy Neko Case - This Tornado Loves You 10,000 Maniacs - Like the Weather The Weather Girls - It’s Raining Men Len - Steal My Sunshine The Doors - Riders in the Storm Eddie Rabbitt - I love a Rainy Night Slowdive - When the Sun Hits

Jason and a tipsy Amy discuss music that reminds of movies that we love.  That ten albums viral copy-paste thing, yeah, they finally get around to that and list them...Amy’s list is as lame as you think it is and she isn’t sorry.  Jason uses Craig’s email feedback to quiz Amy...now you have to listen to how well she did.  Also, Craig tried to kill Jason with his list.   Music: Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul to Squeeze Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody The Bee Gees - Night Fever Metric - Black Sheep The Jesus and Mary Chains - Just Like Honey Twenty One Pilots - Heathens Moby - God Moving Over the Face of the Waters Simple Minds - Don’t You (Forget About Me) The Pixies - Where is Your Mind

Jason and Amy have an uproarious time deciphering the misheard lyrics of the music world.  Amy has run off with a ukulele gang this week and Jason has had some electrical hybrid car problems, but everything is better because “In Pizza they trust.”  A new listener dropped an amazing email and Amy is in danger of being replaced by the much more knowledgeable Craig.   This theme is brought by Earbuddy Ashley!   Music: Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Elton John - Tiny Dancer The Beatles - I Want to Hold Your Hand Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps Bon Jovi - Livin’ On A Prayer The Gap Band - You Dropped a Bomb on Me Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - Blinded by the Light Links: Buzzfeed’s contribution https://youtu.be/KbumV5bQTuM

We all have those bands that we love dearly and in this episode Jason and Amy explore the bands/musicians that they hold dear and that the Earbuddies love.  The theme is brought by Earbuddy, Naomi, and wow, is it a music filled time!  Amy groans at Jason’s love for Iron Butterfly but Jason giggles at her love of blasting Xiu Xiu in a ‘96 Grand Caravan.  Fun is had and this is truly sincere episode with lots of love.  Also, Joe-Joe writes the best emails! Music: Don’t Be Scared - The Handsome Family Lover Come Back - City and Colour Art Star - Yeah Yeah Yeahs Soul Experience - Iron Butterfly Breathe Me - Sia Your Hand in Mine - Explosions in the Sky Mystery Dance - Elvis Costello Bunny Gamer - Xiu Xiu Karen - The National Colours So Fine - Miranda Lee Richards  

Jason and Amy memorialize some of the artists that passed with a little bit of light heartedness and everyone keeps it together long enough to make it through the show.  There are banjos and psychedelic riffs a plenty! Also, congratulations about making it through 2016 and good luck in 2017!   Music: Queen - Another One Bites the Dust Elvis Costello - (What’s So Funny ‘ Bout) Peace Love and Understanding U2 - New Year’s Day Asylum Choir - Death of the Flowers Ralph Stanley - Oh, Death Leonard Cohen - A Singer Must Die Prince - When Doves Cry Merle Haggard - If We Make It Through December David Bowie - Five Years

Amy and Jason attempt to make an episode without too many common songs that have been plaguing you for the past month (since Thanksgiving).  It ranges from Naughty to Nice and there is a plethora of listener feedback in this episode!  The cohosts rejoice as they unwrap their very first voicemails and emails!  And really, the Snoop Dogg Song has some great social commentary.   Link from Jim (Larry): https://youtu.be/uzzVdi3HOfU   And the Modern “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” https://youtu.be/amK4U4pCTB8   Music from this episode: The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping The Flaming Lips - Christmas at the Zoo Bill Murray and George Clooney - Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin’ Lydia Liza and Josiah Lemanski - Baby, It’s Cold Outside I’ll Be Your Santa, Baby - Rufus Thomas *NSync - Under My Tree Clarence Carter - Back Door Santa Snoop Doggy Dogg - Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto The Kinks - Father Christmas Stan Freburg - Nuttin’ For Christmas Marscheaux - We Met Bernard Sumner at a Christmas Party Last Night

In time for the holidays, Jason and Amy tackle a heavy topic with Mental Illness in music.  They have some straight talk about why discussing it is important and then delve into the music.  There is plenty of heaviness that is deflected with laughter and stouts because sometimes nervous laughter can help.   Music: The Doors- People are Strange The Bleachers- I wanna Get Better Blink 182 - Adam’s Song The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Manic Depression Joy Division - She’s Lost Control Seal - Crazy Geto Boys - Mind Playing Tricks on Me Morrissey - The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get Counting Crows - Colorblind The Handsome Family - Too Much Wine   If you find yourself in need: Please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255

  Amy and Jason tackle the music of sweating while musing about disco and tie-dye.  Let’s face it, it is cold outside and you don’t want to be out there, so listen to this while staring into the middle distance before throwing the running shoes into the corner for the next two months.   Music: IT Crowd theme Physical - Olivia Newton-John Bicycle Race - Queen Ain’t Been Done - Jessie J The Hustle- Van McCoy Harder Better Faster Stronger - Daft Punk Get Loose - Talib Kwelib & Hi-Tek Ft.

After recording three shows in five days, Jason and Amy are not as focused as usual. Many tangents over cowboys, their stuffing of their famous horses and cows in the middle of the road occurs but then they get down to brass tacks and talk music! Also, there is another review on iTunes!  Asia still led the way, so be like Asia!
