      21: Carpenters
      May 4 2025
      Support the Official Release You can listen to Carpenters’ self-titled 1971 release on: Apple MusicSpotify Or purchase the LP on: Amazon Music Notes Carpenters’ discography up to their self-titled: 1969’s Ticket to Ride1970’s Close to You Carpenters’ Christmas Portrait, which we discussed at length in Episode 18.Eagles’ Desperado, which Michael wrote on at length here.The Beatles’ self-titled, most commonly referred to as simply The White Album. Marc mused off-hand that Carpenters’ strikingly simple album art reminded him of The White Album’s cover art. Craig Braun—credited for the design of Carpenters’ iconic typographic logo—is most well known for his work on the The Rolling Stones’ “Tongue and Lips” logo. Michael mused that Carpenters’ logo reminded him of Lucasfilm’s logo, which similarly showcases typographic symmetry. Richard’s ridiculous shirt in the LP’s gatefold. Despite his love of the record, Michael said Lord Huron’s Strange Trails sometimes drags (mentioned when noting how brisk and easy Carpenters is for any given listen). Listen to Episode 2 for a full deep-dive.John Bettis, who shares in songwriting credit with Richard throughout the album.Gerry Rafferdy, Randy Newman, and Devendra Banhart to Marc’s ears all had similar inflections or delivery to Richard.Paul Williams and his original performance of “Rainy Days and Mondays”, which caught Michael’s ire since to his ears Paul’s delivery had an unusual cadence and timing that failed to properly match the backing instrumental.The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine”. Fun song, terrible anchor for a Jimmy Buffett concert.Lord Huron’s Vide Noir & Tame Impala’s Lonerism Michael felt both rode the fine line of being almost too over-baked, but were able to stick the landing and make it work.“Groupie (Superstar)” by Delaney & Bonnie, which while performed adequately, Marc & Michael both felt didn’t capture the track’s core essence like Carpenters did.“Superstar”’s backing instrumentals were performed by none other than the Wrecking Crew, famous collection of studio musicians who performed for the likes of Sonny & Cher, The Mamas & The Papas, and of course the Beach Boys on Pet Sounds.Don’t lie, you love that scene from Tommy Boy, too.Abbey Road’s Side 2 Medley, arguably the most well known rock medley in history.Lonesome Dove, the miniseries Michael mentioned on the show and has been trying to get me to watch for years.The Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle, which Marc felt “Druscilla Penny” could slip right into.Henry Menchini, highly regarded as one of the greatest film composers in history. Go home, Apple Music, you’re drunk. 1970’s Lovers and Other Strangers, featuring the original recording of “For All We Know” by Robb Royer and Jimmy Griffin.Michael found Fighting Shadows by Jefferson Bethke and Jon Tyson to share similar themes in its use of “shadows” as Randy Sparks’ use in “(A Place To) Hide Away”.In “For All We Know”, Michael found it shared some lyrical connections with Fleet Foxes’ “Montezuma”.Lord Huron’s Lonesome Dreams, a record Michael similarly finds to be extremely familiar, comforting, and extremely easy to listen to start to finish. References Karen’s performance on “Superstar” was recorded in a single take: the first one.The Wrecking Crew getting their name from the grey hairs at the company that felt “Rock ‘n Roll” would ruin the industry.Carpenters were indeed the first to record Sometimes. The instrumental recording Michael referenced was released in 1972, a year after Carpenters’ performance on their self-titled.“Sunday Firesides: Be Someone’s Atmospheric Getaway” on Dying Breed, which Michael said exactly described the way Carpenters makes him feel; Carpenters is an emotionally warm sonic getaway. “What are you telling your partner? Well as far as I can tell if you live with someone [prior to the commitment of marriage] here’s what you’re saying to each other: ‘you’re the best I can manage at the moment’.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson in “Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Live With Your Significant Other Before Marriage” Art ♫︎

      20: Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
      May 7 2024
      Support the Official Release You can listen to Jimmy Buffett’s Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes on: Apple MusicSpotify Or purchase Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes on: Amazon Music Links Michael’s writeup on Jimmy Buffett’s A1A mentioned during the show.Kenny Chesney, the other artist that was on heavy rotation during family vacations while growing up.Only you can stop ruining songs by mindlessly repeating them: “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey, among the heaviest played Journey tracks and one which Michael famously detests as a result.“Yesterday” by The Beatles, among the heaviest played Beatles tracks and one which Marc famously detests as a result. Steve Goodman’s “Banana Republics”Jimmy Buffett’s autobiography A Pirate Looks at Fifty, which Michael references throughout the episode.“Johnathan Baham, songwriter of Lovely Cruise”, the BuffettNews.com forum discussion of the mysterious songwriter mentioned on the show.“In the Shelter”’s many appearances 1971’s High Cumberland Jubilee1977’s Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes2003’s Meet Me in Margaritaville Jesse Winchester’s “Biloxi”The Toledo Blade front-page interview with Fingers Taylor on his departure from the band. References “Key West is like an old dirty carpet; you shake it out and everything falls to the bottom. Everybody from the whole East Coast wound up at the end of the road in Key West at one point or another.” Jimmy Buffett quoting friend P.J. O’Rourke in the Delaney “I Have Found Me A Home” video interviews “The pavement runs out at the little village of Tambor, and we stop for cold drinks. Where the pavement ends and the dust begins is also the place where the time warp takes over. It has been only two days since we were opening Christmas presents in Palm Beach, but now we are bouncing along a dirt road in another world. When you are traveling on a trip like this in the right frame of mind, time and space will change. Things that seemed absolutely necessary two days ago slip from your mind. You find yourself looking out the window of the plane, boat, or car and daydreaming about going native. Time becomes something to be used, not saved. Many years ago, when I first experienced this feeling, I wrote a song about it called ‘Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes.’ It worked then, and it’s working now, as we drive west to the ocean in the land of pura vida.” Jimmy Buffett’s autobiography, A Pirate Looks at Fifty “As we drive to the airport the next morning [in Guadeloupe], we talk about the sentimentality we both seem to hold about the places we came from. Kino is a world traveler, but he is still attached to his roots in Guadeloupe. That kind of connection to the land is also a very Southern trait. I too move around the globe in an almost constant state of motion, but when I think of home, I think about Pascagoula and the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, not Long Island or Florida. Home is where you come from. It is not where you live at the present time, and though I doubt I will ever live in Alabama again, I will always think of it as home.” Jimmy Buffett’s autobiography, A Pirate Looks at Fifty Taylor is proud of the musical achievements of Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band, particularly the first three albums, but he feels that somewhere along the line their leader became more interested in making money and using gimmicks onstage than in making quality music. “We had a lot of fun, but we were always negotiating for more money and of course he’s never been one to let go of that stuff,” Taylor said. “I had some issues with him over money and a retirement fund, which we never had, although he did put a little something together for us eventually.” The concerts began to lose their appeal for Taylor. “It had all gotten to be a rote deal. The same old crap, the same show biz stuff, dancing girls and exploding props, this that and the other. I was tired of that. He’s a big-time businessman now and I think that’s what he really enjoys the most. Music is secondary. And music has always been the most important thing to me.” Fingers Taylor in his interview with the Toledo Blade “Life is a journey that’s measured not in miles or years but in experiences, and the route your life takes is built not of roads but of songs. How far is it from Key West to Miami? To some it is 147 miles. To me, it is about eleven songs.” Jimmy Buffett’s autobiography, A Pirate Looks at Fifty Art ♫︎

      19: Infinite Arms
      Aug 6 2023
      Support the Official Release You can listen to Band of Horses’ Infinite Arms on: Apple MusicSpotify Or purchase Infinite Arms on: Amazon Music Links Marvis Pro, the iOS music player Michael mentioned using to see his play counts.Vacationer’s Relief, the only album that came close to Infinite Arms’s play count number in Michael’s library. You can read Michael’s previous review on the record here.Michael mentioned having a Fracture print of Infinite Arms, which is a picture printed directly on glass for a minimal, sleek presentation. This is his current collection. Sun Kil Moon’s Benji, the album Marc claimed to be a perfect foil to the easily digestible and repeatable Infinite Arms. You can listen to our previous discussion on the record in Episode 8.Band of Horses’ new lineup during Infinite Arms, and would remain unchanged for years—the first “true” Band of Horses lineup: Benjamin BridwellCreighton BarretRyan MonroeBill ReynoldsTyler Ramsey The star at the center of the pivot point in the album art is Polaris (more commonly known as the “North Star”). The star seems to stand still in long exposure photography while the rest of the northern hemisphere stars spin around it due to the North Star being in a (mostly) direct line with the Earth’s rotational axis with respect to the North Pole.Christopher Wilson, the Photographer for Infinite Arms’s cover art and all the band’s album art up to that point. (information courtesy of the Albums app on iOS).Michael’s insane graph of “vibrancy”/”energy” by track number 53rd Grammy Awards in 2011, the same year Arcade Fire famously secured Album of the Year with The Suburbs. You can read Marc’s thoughts on The Suburbs here.Marc found “Factory” to share similarities with Paul McCartney and Wings’s “Let Me Roll It” off 1973’s Band on the Run and Vacationer’s “Turning” off 2018’s Mindset. You can read Marc’s review of Band on the Run here or listen to our discussion on Mindset in Episode 14.“Factory” utilizes both a Memotron and Theremin. The Theremin also appeared in Lord Huron’s “Love Like Ghosts” & “Way Out There” off 2015’s Strange Trails, and you can listen to our previous discussion on that record in Episode 2.Michael’s writeup on Jimmy Buffett’s A1A mentioned during the show can be found here, the finest publication on the site thus far.The Last Bison’s Quill, a record Michael felt was similar to “Compliments” since they both are high in character and charm in large part because of their imperfections.Grizzly Bear’s Yellow House, the record Marc felt similarly leaned into “everything & the kitchen sink” production.Eagles, a classic rock band Michael could very easily see playing “Laredo”ChrisCorradi’s comment on the “bullet in my Kai Lorenzo” lyric on genius.com“Band Of Horses Survived… Barely”, The SPIN interview Marc mentioned where Ben touches on his then-recent separation with his spouse.“Grumpy Old Men” (the 1993 film) and “Old City Bar” by Trans-Siberian Orchestra both evoked similar feelings and visuals in Michael as “Blue Beard”.The Explorer’s Club, a classic rock & roll and classic pop-influenced band that Marc found strikingly similar to Band of Horses’ experiments in “Blue Beard” and “Dilly”.“I need more cowbell!”Long in the Tooth and Repo Records referenced in the show are Marc’s favorite record haunts in the Philly area. Support your local music stores!Marc kept saying “Dilly” was very “70’s” but meant to say “60’s” (oops).Ludo’s “Good Will Hunting by Myself”, the song Michael mentioned takes the stereotypical “I’m better off without you, anyway” attitude from pop breakup songs and cranks it up to a comical extreme.Admiral Fallow, the band Michael mentioned was also sometimes similarly “rough” in vocal delivery like in “Evening Kitchen” and also works because of those edges.Arcade Fire’s “We Used To Wait”—which explicitly and intentionally makes the audience “wait” for a final chorus that never again returns—Michael cheekily claimed to be the antithesis to the infinitely repeating chorus in “Older”.“Basement Shows” (also known as “House Shows”), a staple of Philadelphia college life.“Are You My Neightbor?”, a deep cut Marc made to the classic VeggieTales episode. Yes, this was a real thing.Grizzly Bear’s “Colorado”, a song Marc found just as boring as “Neighbor”. Yes Michael, I will put it down there.The Arcade Fire lyric Marc was flopping around trying to remember is “Took a drive into the sprawl / To find the house where we used to stay”, where their usage of “house” instead of “home” is meant to communicate emotional distance and lack of attachment to the physical place they grew up.Please use a good podcast player!Rooibos tea is best tea.Premium Steap and August Tea are incredible tea suppliers and are “Marc & ...
