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.Music:Excuse Me. - My GardenSled Ellis & Danke Shane - HomebodyArctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes DownDeathcab for Cutie - I Was a KaleidoscopeSpellling - Blue (American Dream)Sebadoh - Gimme Indie RockOvens - I Can’t HangFrightened Rabbit - I Feel BetterClose Lobsters - What Is There To Smile AboutThe Thermals - A Pillar of SaltPavement - Summer BabeFreeloader - Not that Smart

Our Band Name is Emotional Trash

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.The Music:The Cardboard Swords - FlannelBrian Hyland - Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot BikiniT Pain - Apple Bottom JeansBen Folds Five - Song for the DumpedClaud - Cuff your JeansNOFX - Jeff Wears BirkenstocksThe Promise Ring - Red and Blue JeansPortugal.

Ben Folds Five Pairs of Cuffed Up Jeans

This episode is all about that time we need for ourselves, you know, self-care. The world is still stressful and being kind to ourselves is definitely what is needed. Have a lazy day, take care of yourself, and have a home spa day.

Just a Lil Chill Time

So, the theme is “long distance” but there are so many revelations in this show that it cannot even be embodied in a description. Mitchell doesn’t lose socks, for one. Like, Mitchell does NOT lose socks. That is the most amazing talent. Also, Cat Power is not just short for Catherine Power.

Cat "Goes the Distance" Power

This episode is a revisit to a great theme from a couple of years ago: non-english centered music from wherever (no Klingon was submitted, sorry to say). A wide array of styles and influences from a few decades. A true international treat. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

International Tour in 30 Minutes

The US just came out of an epic “snow everywhere” incident which affected Memphis (and these streets)! So, let’s stay topical and talk about ice, snow, winter, and like, did I mention ice? Oh, and icicles! Turns out, there is quite a bit of chilly themed songs out there and here are some just for ya’ll.

Three Snowmen in a Trenchcoat Disguised as a Podcast

This week is all about the shows that haven’t quite been seen yet (and may or may not be able to be seen in the future). Many references to technical difficulties that happened beforehand. Mitchell and Amy also got an amazing email and it is legitimately worth listening to! (Yes, the last sentence did end in a preposition, which is fine.)

Listening to the White Whale

Continuing the good vibes from last episode, Mitchell and Amy are covering songs found out in the wild. Amy just assumes all music is from Kroger and Mitchell illuminates how amazing the playlist at his retail establishment is. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

Punk Walgreen’s of My Dreams

Sometimes, a good vibes show is what is needed and heck, every show may be a good vibes show because E&E is trying to smudge the room of 2020. It may take a couple more smudges, but we are making progress. Enjoy this heckin good feeling show and block out the haters. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

Singing in Positive Cursive

We’re all tired this year, so we are ending this year on an old fashioned grab bag where the Earbuddies can share the songs that are on their minds. Lots of poppy tunes and a couple from TikTok, everyone’s favorite short attention span theater platform.

The 2020 Year End Grab Bag

Look, this year is weird, and it is almost over. It has been hard and different than any year, so we might as well have a Christmas episode that represents the complicated feelings we are collectively having about this holiday season.

Christmas 2020, Better Than Expected!

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!) Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

We Found Some Good Stuff in 2020

Hey, we needed a feel good about humanity episode, so we made a feel good about humanity episode. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

Group Hug

Mitchell brings his November social media project to the show this week with his Nu-Metal November theme. Turns out, Amy legit didn’t know she loves most of Nu-Metal that doesn’t have sad dolls on the front cover. Oh, yeah, and Cher has only two children (this will make sense after you listen to the show, so don’t tweet too quickly.)

Episode 214: #nüvember

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. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

We Learneded Some Stuff

Two friends with opposite tastes in music come together to bond over music and discuss what they learn that week. A weekly music show for the everyday listener.
