Podcast 36 – Revenue Streams

Want to make more money in 2019? Well, have we got some slap-bang ideas for you! Also, how to get a celebrity to sing on your album, why Facebook is Totally Over, and John metaphorically cuts his hair. Also, the Monkees. And our music is excellent as always:

Song We Like: Open Door by North by North

Song We Like: Open Door by North by North

North by North sounds like Queen+Foreigner+Supergrass, plus a big dash of the White Stripes. Operatic and road-weary, they are a Meg and Jack for 2019. Featured on our #36 podcast, Revenue Streams.

Song We Like: Like Everybody Else by Hairy Nipples

For the first time in 2000+ years, here is an all-new take on conformity (we love it). John thinks they sound like the Monkees, and he also thinks that is a compliment. These Spanish mambo-punks will win your heart. Featured on our #36 podcast, Revenue Streams.

 

Song We Like: Switchblade Heart by The Holy Knives

Sounds like Chris Isaac, only much, much more interesting. This song is worth studying for the production alone. The Holy Knives is our new favorite San Antonio band. Featured on our #36 podcast, Revenue Streams.

Song We Like: Cut My Hair by Secular Pains

Song We Like: Cut My Hair by Secular Pains

Loud, fast and funny. Kind of like a song a bunch of drunk men would sing on a ship. It will make you seriously consider cutting your hair, and it will also make you want to listen to the whole album. Featured on our #36 podcast, Revenue Streams.

John gets stuck in a dress. Profanity is newly-offensive. Dead Singers fucking speak to us: specifically, Simon LeBon -who is still living- gives John permission to be a sexy poster boy. Also, a special guest appearance by sexy dead poet Walt Whitman himself. And our music is excellent as always:

Song We Like: Losing Things by BROTHRS

Song We Like: Losing Things by BROTHRS

We don’t merely like this song, we LOVE it. Two charming brothRs from the sticks of Western North Carolina are out-popping and out-souling some of the greats here, and they sound like they’re not even trying. We will enjoy saying we knew you when, and when we do, we’ll also say we told you so. (Featured on our #35 podcast, Walt Whitman)

Song We Like: Hail Damage by Flight to Dubai

Song We Like: Hail Damage by Flight to Dubai

This is not background music. The singer hurls himself into your presence, whether you like it or not. If you’re playing this song in a car, anybody who is talking or thinking about something else will immediately come to attention and say ‘what is that?’ (It’s an interesting social experiment. Try it and see.) (Featured on our #35 podcast, Walt Whitman)

Song We Like: Dead Singers by Rebecca F

Song We Like: Dead Singers by Rebecca F

I mean, she pretty much says what we were all thinking. Some singer who is disconnected to you, never met you, and is, moreover, dead, can be your soulmate and truly good friend. It is one of life’s great mysteries, and it’s something everyone has experienced. Way to exploit both profanity and metaphysics, Rebecca F! Good work. (Featured on our #35 podcast, Walt Whitman)
