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.

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.

While this is the second time we have covered sad songs, this episode really gets downright emotional. Mitchell breaks in with absolute heartbreak and it is layers upon layers of how to construct a proper sad song from there.  Also, Amy audibly unravels, which is a kind of ridiculous weird thing to do.

On this runaway bassline hit parade, there is massive exploration of all the groovy lower end rhythms that carry songs. Seeing as Mitchell and Amy first met because of bass, there is some nostalgia before Amy declares that all bassists have the family name of Butler. This is pretty much a funky wild ride with the slightest amount of music theory.

In a year where the world has been in various states of stand still, Mitchell, Amy, and the Earbuddies bring what was actually good this year, the music! So many good albums have come out and some of it has flown completely under the radar or musicians that have taken a break have come out with some new stuff. Amy may have totally credited Kaylah with liking show tunes,which may or may not be true, but she for sure loves Genesis (even has a tattoo!)

It is the end of the year and since not all songs can go into a theme, this is a random selection of songs on our minds. In recent tradition, Amy remembers some vague music thing and Mitchell, without exasperation, finally clears up scales, circle of fifths, what is an 808, and the natural seventh. Enjoy this winding journey to finish out 2018.

Amy realizes, yet again, that Hall & Oates are not a country band and Mitchell decides that at least one song can tell him what to do. Mitchell also teaches Amy how not to use “stinky” as a musical descriptor.

So, this week, we decided to give up the charade and go super political with an episode about political songs.

This week, at the prompting of Earbuddy Naomi, Mitchell and Amy tackle the subject of diss tracks, most specifically diss tracks to other genres. There are a surprising amount of genre diss tracks and even personal grudge songs. They get introspective about the territorialism within musical genre fan groups and share a pretty unpopular hot take on “a voice of a generation.”

Amy has just discovered Vaporwave because of Mitchell’s mild case of love for the genre (it is probably more than mild.) Jacques requested it and E&E went with it in their first ever exploration of a single genre. It has a wide range of sounds within the genre and Amy says “like” quite a bit and confuses Justice Clarence Thomas with Justice Potter Stewart.

This is an absolute lovefest of music that we learned about by making the show and listening to the show. Memories of shows past, like how Craig does have the best taste in music, and there is a beard parody song band, as well as a show theme idea come up. Also, towards the end, both Mitchell and Amy admit that they watch TikTok videos as a form of stress relief.

Amy and Mitchell take very large breathes in attempt to get through titles of names and bands that are extremely long. Someone finally says the whole Fiona Apple album title; yeah, that one. The titles are long, but the songs are good, except that one song.

Mitchell threw down the gauntlet way back and Craig finally picked it up right before dismantling his podcast studio. The guys go head to head with four song picks a piece to prove their taste in music is the supreme. Amy adds a little flavor but relaxes because she didn’t have to choose a song at all this week. Vote in the poll on the Earbuds and Earworms Podcast group on Facebook to decide who wins.

Note: There were some technical difficulties in the recording of the show so be forgiving to Amy, who really only had one job.

The world of elevators as themes in music and venues of music is vast, which Mitchell and Amy soon discovered. They are now taking up residence in various elevators to archive all the music that they would either leave the elevator during or decide to push all the buttons so they can finish out the song. It is a very up and down episode, with very few forwards and backwards.
