School bells are ringing and all the kids are trudging back to class with their newly sharpened Ticonderoga pencils.  Instead of that silly dirge music, Jason and Amy take Timothy’s theme suggestion and play songs about the long hot free days of summer coming to an end.  Plenty of feedback from the Earbuddies and a special announcement from international intern, Joe-Joe.   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Merry Christmas EP:  https://t.co/7GsrUHKX6I Merry Christmas Music Video: https://t.co/t2tXP9bL1C Earbuddy Chris’ Donation Page:  http://hunksinheels.org/christopher-waddell/   Music: Love - Bummer in Summer Miniature Tigers - Swimming Pool Blues Belle and Sebastian - Summer Wasting The Rolling Stones - Summer Romance Briana Marela - Farthest Shore Thursday - Standing on the Edge of Summer Dashboard Confessional - Age Six Racer Loudon Wainwright - Summer’s Almost Over Emmanuel and Phillip Hudson - First Day Back Frank Sinatra - Autumn Leaves The White Stripes - We Are

Jason and Amy tackle the theme suggested on Earbuddy Chris’s drunk dial. Remember those songs from 30 years ago?  The podcasters try to find covers of those hits and are helped by the Earbuddies!  In the final days of Summer break, Amy has decided to be the true Jane Fonda that she is to Jason’s straight-up Lily Tomlin.     Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Music: Presidents of the USA - Video Killed the Radio Star Evergreen Terrace - Mad World We Are Scientists - Take My Breathe Away Nouvelle Vague - I Melt With You Postmodern Jukebox ft.

Jason and Amy build the summer reading list according to Sean’s specifications.  Jason is back from his Florida journey to the Fountain of Youth.  For a random reason, many impressions are made but probably because they recorded right after an appearance on The Game Show Podcast.  Enjoy this Cliff’s Notes version of many very long books.   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Music: David Bowie - 1984 Billy Bragg and Wilco - Walt Whitman’s Niece Ruth B. - Lost Boy Crosby Stills & Nash - Guinevere Meg & Dia - Rebecca St. Vincent - Birth In Reverse Lali Puna - Faking the Books Kenny Loggins - Pooh Corner Red Hot Chili Peppers - Yertle the Turtle The Kinks - Picture Book Led Zeppelin - Ramble On Paul Westerburg - Bookmark

Jason and Amy take Chris’ suggestion and make a whole show about songs that completely throw the mood off.  Amy continues her streak of radio unfriendly tunes and Jason seems to be into giant shoes.  The nature of this episode is pretty spicy so the earbuds will be necessary.   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Music: Samwell- What What (In the Butt) Hampton The Hamster - Hamsterdance Deep Blue Something - Song To Make Love To Crispin Glover - Clowny Clown Clown Cruel Youth - Hatef*ck Ray Anthony ft.

Don’t worry!  The crew isn’t going anywhere!  Just a little spoof about the show’s theme has run amok.  This week, Amy and Jason take Earbuddy Naomi’s suggestion for songs to be played at their funeral.  A heavy subject that they try to be respectful about and also get some giggles in about.  Much deflecting and quite a few very charming, interesting, and thought-provoking songs are shared so they went ahead and decided to make this a two part series.   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Music: Band of Horses - The Funeral Van Morrison - Into the Mystic Sia - Breathe Me Tommy James and the Shondells - Crystal Blue Persuasion Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains The Misfits - Where Eagles Dare James Taylor - Fire and Rain The Clash - (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais Gladys Knight - The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me Green Day - (Good Riddance) Time of Your Life Billy Preston - Nothing from Nothing William Shatner - You’ll Have Time The The - Love Is Stronger than Deat

On this week’s episode, Amy and Jason groove to the rhythm within us all. There is a special announcement from a celebrity warning us that the Rhythm is gonna get us if we aren't careful.

Jason and Amy delve into their childishness to romp around in the Mesozoic Era.  Jason had been worried there wouldn’t be many songs about dinos but turns out, the Earbuddies helped the podcasters realize how many there are (almost as many as species of dinosaurs)!  Get out your shovels, brushes, and khakis to excavate dinosaurs in music.   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Music: Land of the Lost Theme B-52’s - Bedrock Twist Johnny Cash - Dinosaur Song King Crimson - Dinosaur Ke$ha - Dinosaur Flula - Dinosaur DJ Hollywood Argyles - Alley Oop Was (Not Was) - Walk the Dinosaur The Punch Brothers - Reptilia They Might Be Giants w.

Jason and Amy walk through the park with songs that are sometimes about parks and sometimes about walking...occasionally one about walking in the park.

Jason and Amy take Asia’s suggestion and explore the depths of “weird” love songs.  The depths of this theme may not be able to be plumbed but darn it, they tried!  The Earbuddies worked extra hard on finding songs and there is an enigmatic voicemail, that maybe an Earbuddy will admit to recording.   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Music: Björk - Hyperballad John Mellencamp - Circling Around the Moon Kimbra - Settle Down Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention - Wowie Zowie Yellow Ostrich - Ghost Pete Yorn - Life on a Chain Lily Allen - Not Fair Harry Nilsson - Joy Jukebox the Ghost - Under My Skin Failure - The Nurse Who Loved Me Marvin the Paranoid Android - Marvin, I Love You Björk - Like Someone in Love Andrew Bird ft.

Jason and Amy strap on their bibs and dig into the delicious songs about food that they found at this really fancy restaurant.  The Earbuddies serve up sides of chicken ice cream topped with Mayonaise that is sure to please, so set the table and get the napkins.  Earbuddy Chris provides a challenge at the end so listen really hard to see how he is messing with us.   Email: eandepod@gmail.com Website: www.eandepod.com Phone: 731-400-2837   Music: The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever The Presidents of the United States - Peaches School Cafeteria - Weird Al Yankovic Booker T & the MGs - Green Onions Government Cheese - Fish Stick Day Tim O’Brien, Dirk Powell, John Herrmann - Cluck Old Hen Cibo Matto - Sugar Water Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonaise Sarah McLachlin - Ice Cream Descendents - I Like Food Jimmy Buffett - Cheeseburger in Paradise Hollyn (Featuring TRU) - Alone
