Ignored 178: Bloom by Beach House
In Podcast on April 12, 2018 at 6:50 pm
Let’s get hazy, dreamy, swoony and spacey with Bloom, the 2012 fourth full-length from Beach House. Cam and Sammy love this band and it shows! They touch on the fleetingness of anticipating new music that comes with age, the timeliness of Beach House itself and do a 101 on French composer Michel Legrand and whether movie scores and title tracks qualify as “hits”. The episode wraps with a chat about new tunes from Stephen Malkmus, a detailed discussion about the video for Phil Collins’ “Against All Odds” (including the scary mask and scary James Woods parts) plus a really quick shoutout to Ric Ocasek and the Cars.

Ignored 177: Talkie Walkie by Air
In Podcast on April 12, 2018 at 6:48 pm
We’re going to France and our passport… is… uh… music! It’s the third studio full-length from Air and it’s called Walkie Talkie, a sadly under-remembered album that sounds as smart and sophisticated in 2018 as it did in 2004. Cam and Sammy remember the times Air were basically the soundtrack to cafe livin’ in the late 1990s and early 2000s, why some bands (i.e. this band) don’t need to be seen live plus why comparing Air to Daft Punk is lame and lazy. The episode ends with a look at Lana Del Rey (her music and her marketing) plus Twin Shadow and a teeny tiny chat about Doug and the Slugs (again).
