Jacob Collier - Djesse Vol. 3

Recorded in January of 2022. We listened to the 2009 album Feel the Steel, by Steel Panther. Knowing very little about what we were in for, we dove in and just had to face the music...so to speak. Join us as Bryn asks for forgiveness and Angie and Emily learn where their respective lines are when it comes to musical parody humor. 

For our return episode we decided to review something we're all familiar with that's celebrating it's 25th anniversary this year! 1998's Moon Safari by Air. Comfortably fitting into the Relaxtronica genre, we had a great time reminiscing as we revisited this old friend

Once upon a time, we had a podcast, then it seemed like we didn't....but we do. We wanted to explain ourselves and see if you'll take us back

On this episode we listened to three bothers and another guy throw it down Frankenmuth-style, it's Greta Van Fleet with their album from 2017, From the Fires! Marvel as we talk about how they aren't Led Zeppelin; how Bryn is a music gear nerd, and Angie fills us in on how she fills out a SPANX Podcast Theme Music by Devon Rose  

On this, our fifty first episode we are taking a listen to another of Emily's picks, An Evening with Silk Sonic from 2021. A strong album featuring Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, with Bootsy Collins... but can they bring in both the noise and the funk? Podcast Theme Music by Devon Rose  

For our 50th episode we've stretched ourselves way out of our comfort zones with Bryn's pick of Jacob Collier's 2020 release, Djesse Vol. 3. Not only did we learn that it's the piano that's out of tune, but we'd need to know a lot more about music theory to scratch the surface on what he's doing. Needless to say, Angie had some feelings on this... Podcast Theme Music by Devon Rose  

On this episode we listen to one of Angie's picks that she took right out of a Heineken beer commercial, she thinks....Gin Wigmore's 2011 album Gravel & Wine. This New Zealand artist has a voice as powerful as the landscapes of her home country, although these days you can find her in Palm Springs running a hotel, and hopefully destroying on karaoke night in the hotel's lounge, but that's just us dreaming.

Emily comes back to join Angie and Bryn as we establish our new normal with the three of us, and brings her first album choice to the pod with Broken Bells' 2014 sophomore album, After the Disco. We all agreed it was a strong start to her suggestions and despite wandering into tangents, many of which ended up on the cutting room floor, we found lots to discuss about this band.   Podcast Theme Music by Devon Rose  

We kick off Season 3 officially with our new host Emily who last joined Bryn and Angie on our Rocky Horror Picture Show Episode. This week we were listening to the 2016 album Funs Cool by The Prettiots. A one album band that seems to have come and gone too quickly. Will their sweet ukulele jams, tongue in cheek attitude and pointed lyrics be enough to win us over? Podcast Theme Music by Devon Rose  

After talking about how they wanted to revisit these albums since the podcast started, Bryn and Angie have finally let themselves listen to the Canadian phenomenon that was the Big Shiny Tunes compilations. Focusing on the two most important in their lives they've gone with #2 and #3 from 1997 and 1998 respectively.  Podcast Theme Music by Devon Rose
