Today be sure to get a head start on Monday’s episode by checking out this week’s songs and artists on the Show Companion Playlists.
For Episode 176, Aaron and Brent base their song picks around the very concept that helped birth this podcast: Mix-Tapes.
Before the days of instantly discovering new music through Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube, you had to rely on word-of-mouth from friends or a meticulously-crafted collections of songs on cassette in order to unearth a band you never knew existed.
This week, the guys exchange three songs with each other that they introduced someone to or they themselves came upon through musical referral.
Aaron picks out “Lucky” from Seven Mary Three, “Small Wonders” by Dog’s Eye View, and Damien Rice‘s “9 Crimes” for Brent to hear.
Brent pulls out “Grey Cell Green” from Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, “Whoever You Are” by Geggy Tah, and “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 1” from The Flaming Lips for Aaron.
The episode will be available Monday, August 21st wherever you listen to podcasts.
