As promised we recorded a bonus episode to make up for the audio quality on the Do Make Say Think episode.  John and Chris discuss/debate Apple’s decision to auto-download the new U2 album to iTunes, touching on the desperation from both parties, how out of touch with current culture they are, and impact on future … Continue reading Season 1 Bonus Episode! →

Firstly, we would like to apologize for the terrible audio quality of this weeks podcast. We’ll be recording a make up episode for our listeners soon.  But honestly you’re not missing much: Chris is his normal acerbic self, Robert talks about his feelings, and John disappears partway through the episode for about 5 minutes.  Who … Continue reading Season 1, Episode 12: Do Make Say Think →

Listen to us talk about Saturday Night Live, beer, and Billy Corgan.  Also Elvis Costello is mentioned. https://ia601402.us.archive.org/4/items/ElvisCostelloPodcast/Elvis%20Costello%20Podcast.mp3

Woefully under prepared for the actual artist we were supposed to talk about, we instead each picked 5 acts that you should check out.  So listen to this, then listen to them. https://ia601402.us.archive.org/9/items/CheckOutTheseBandsPodcast/Check%20out%20These%20Bands%20Podcast.mp3

 Journey with us back to high school as our wives pick artists we should discuss. https://ia902304.us.archive.org/3/items/WifeCastPodcast/WifeCast%20Podcast.mp3

 A surprisingly thoughtful discussion on Illidelph’s finest, going in to social commentary and musical impact.  Maybe not so surprising as John isn’t in this episode and we’re joined by Tom Hutch. https://ia802308.us.archive.org/17/items/TheRootsPodcast/The%20Roots%20Podcast.mp3  

John barely contains his lust for Jenny Lewis.  Robert and Chris merely sit back and go for the ride. https://archive.org/download/jennylewispodcast/Jenny%20Lewis%20Podcast.mp3

We hop in our dirigibles and take a trip to the Pacific North in an episode filled with songs about wars and sea shanty’s about mariners. The sea fairing kind, not the baseball team. https://archive.org/download/thestaticpodcastepisode6thedecemberists/The%20Static%20Podcast%20Episode%206%20-%20The%20Decemberists.mp3

Looking back on Kanye West’s first album we truly realize how white we are.  Also, “Two Words” is an amazing song. https://archive.org/download/thestaticpodcastkanyewestjune282014/The%20Static%20Podcast%20Kanye%20West%20%28June%2028%202014%29.mp3

John, Chris, and guest host Tom Hutch sit around and wax poetic on Ben Gibbard and friends.  While Robert, away at Bonnaroo, makes his thoughts known on Chris and his habit of talking. https://archive.org/download/staticseason1episode3deathcabforcutie/Static%20Season%201%20episode%203%20-%20Death%20Cab%20for%20Cutie.mp3      

Guitars! Jazz covers! Musicianship! Honestly, we barely talk about them in this episode, but still a fun listen. https://archive.org/download/thestaticepisode2rodrigoygabriela/The%20Static%20Episode%202%20-%20Rodrigo%20y%20Gabriela.mp3

It begins.  Like the Wayne family being murdered in front of Bruce, or Uncle Ben dying before Peter, from tragedy we shall rise to become something greater than all of us.  Really we’re just three guys who like music.  We hope you enjoy! https://archive.org/download/thestaticpilotbrucespringsteen/The%20Static%20Pilot%20-%20Bruce%20Springsteen.mp3
