Podcast Episode I, "Delicious"

LYHD Podcast: Episode I

That's right motherfuckers, it's our very first podcast. It's a janky one, because none of us know what the fuck we're doing, but they're getting better as we record them. This being the first post about it, I should lay out the format. It's a basic radio show, hosted by me (Drew) with the help of one Douglas Sweeney, and a revolving cast of characters that happen to involve friends and other writers on this blog (Amir Razmjou and Thom Seiniger, most notably) in which we each pick a few songs, usually set to a loose theme.

In this episode we talk about a flurry of things involving: swine flu, sad ravens, me being mistaken for a girl, Salvadorian strippers, why New Orleans sucks, Captain Beefheart's birthday, Amir's Birthday, Kristen Stewart, gift ettiquette, and the Muddy Symphony.

My volume is too low, Amir's is too high, we break nearly every rule in radio, but hey, you get what you pay for.

No theme this week, here's the playlist in order of appearance:

1. Spider Bags – “Eileen” (Teenage Eyes 7”)
2. Buzzcocks – “Nostalgia” (Love Bites)
3. The Frogs – “I’ve Got Drugs (Out of the Mist)” (It’s Only Right and Natural)
4. Broadcast – “America’s Boy” (Tender Buttons)
5. Oblivians- “Clones” (Sympathy Sessions)
6. Ty Segall & Mikal Cronin- “Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk” (Reverse Shark Attack)
7. Titus Andronicus – “My Time Outside the Womb” (The Airing of Grievances)
8. Royal Baths- “Nikki Don't” (Litanies)
9. The Sun City Girls – “Cruel and Thin” (330,003 Cross Dressers from Beyond the Rig Veda)
10. Velvet Underground – “Pale Blue Eyes” (The Velvet Underground)
11. Ducktails- “Don't Make Plans” (Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics)
12. Joe Meek – “I Hear a New World” (I Hear a New World EP)
End Bumper: Vera Lynn – “Goodnight, Wherever You Are”

Our live cover on this episode: Velvet Underground - "White Light/White Heat"

More to come soon (and hopefully a website to host them on).

That's all for now, filthy animals.
