This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in EVENS
“This album is your lovely kind-hearted grandparent that unintentionally says something racist every now & again. Not because they are an intentionally shitty person, but because times are very different now and the goal posts are very not where they used to be.”
EPISODE 083 kicks off with Dominant Legs singing about their girls, and before Califone closes things up with Stitches, you'll hear Benjamin Shaw remixing Frog, Jessie Winslow, Angelo de Augustine and a bunch more. So locate the play button and grab your headphones.
“Swim. I'm in Austin at the moment, living here in a very hot climate. Swimming is something you need to do to cool down and enjoy the sun. Whether it's just paddling, dipping, diving or doing some laps; you should 100% get out there.”
“Delicate is the perfect title… fragile yet powerful… the kind of album that gets into every part of your brain, heart and soul. I'll be on this one for a good bit now.”
“Go outside! Life is so much better when you have real air and real sun and all that good stuff. Maybe even go camping! But if you can't go camping... just make sure you go outside at least one time when the sun in shining.”
Things kick off with a Hayes Carll tune that hits closer to home if you've recently started anew in a new town, and before things close of with The Supremes, you'll hear: a dope "Paint It Black" cover, Molly Burch, Jim Ford and a bunch more.
“The next time you travel, don't stay in a hotel, hostel, Air BNB, or whatever. Just see what happens. Yeah this might seem silly since you can book a cheap place in minutes now. Fuck that. The stories you'll come home and the people you'll meet will be well worth it.”
“The 'Benjamin Button on college trip to Aspen' cover pulls you in. The 'every track could be a last song of the night slow jam' holds you close.”
“This one is hard. I'm still working my way through a haul of chocolates that good old Chris Cringle brought at Christmas (it's like Willy Wonka's storeroom in the house) so maybe I could recommend a few cocoa-based treats?”
“This hardly sounds like the Aerosmith that I knew when I was listening to them in the 90s. Which makes me feel less dumb when remembering how a young me once thought that 'Dream On' was a Led Zep song.”
