Earbuds And Earworms

This week, we tackle the most amorphous of genres: Indie. What is Indie? What does it sound like? It is many things and while it tends to lean indie rock in this curated list, it isn’t just that. There is a voicemail...from a while ago. Oh, and go ahead and notice how wacky the sound of our voice is. Amy tried. Music: Excuse Me. - My Garden Sled Ellis & Danke Shane - Homebody Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes Down Deathcab for Cutie - I Was a Kaleidoscope Spellling - Blue (American Dream) Sebadoh - Gimme Indie Rock Ovens - I Can’t Hang Frightened Rabbit - I Feel Better Close Lobsters - What Is There To Smile About The Thermals - A Pillar of Salt Pavement - Summer Babe Freeloader - Not that Smart

Mitchell and Amy get themselves together and record an episode after some time spent with too much work. From cuffed jeans to how amazing sundresses are, this episode covers it all. Shockingly, there are no songs about comfy socks here, but surely there are songs about them. Also, Mitchell and Amy had no idea how tall the other one was, so there is a hefty bit of conversation astonished about each other’s height. The Music: The Cardboard Swords - Flannel Brian Hyland - Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini T Pain - Apple Bottom Jeans Ben Folds Five - Song for the Dumped Claud - Cuff your Jeans NOFX - Jeff Wears Birkenstocks The Promise Ring - Red and Blue Jeans Portugal. The Man - Creep in a T-Shirt Tiny Moving Parts - Sundress The Equals - Michael and the Slipper Tree Nelly ft Kyjuan, Ali, Murphy Lee - Air Force Ones Summer Villains - Hoodie Weather

This episode is all about that time we need for ourselves, you know, self-care. The world is still stressful and being kind to ourselves is definitely what is needed. Have a lazy day, take care of yourself, and have a home spa day. Music: Mac Miller - Self Care Ben Harper - Walk Away Sesame Street with Daveed Diggs - Rubber Duckie Alex Lahey - I Haven’t Been Taking Care of Myself Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song Bad Brains - Attitude Le Tigre - Eau D’Bedroom Dancing Sparks - Falling in Love With Myself Again The Blue Sky Project - Pirates and Mermaids The Everly Brothers - Mary Jane New Radicals - You Get What You Give Teen Idols - Midnight Picture Show

So, the theme is “long distance” but there are so many revelations in this show that it cannot even be embodied in a description. Mitchell doesn’t lose socks, for one. Like, Mitchell does NOT lose socks. That is the most amazing talent. Also, Cat Power is not just short for Catherine Power. Music: The Hang Ups - 50,000 Feet The Byrds - Eight Miles High The Plimsouls - A Million Miles Away The Amazing Transparent Man - The Ocean is a F*** Of A Long Way to Swim AJR - Adventure is Out There Garth Brooks - Baton Rouge Cat Power - Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again The Wedding Present - A Million Miles Siouxsie and the Banshees - Song From The Edge of the World Pinback - AFK Aesop Rock - Long Legged Larry

This episode is a revisit to a great theme from a couple of years ago: non-english centered music from wherever (no Klingon was submitted, sorry to say). A wide array of styles and influences from a few decades. A true international treat.
