Today is an interesting one because I wasn't sure if it belonged in this podcast within a podcast or not, but Erin was and she set me down the slippery slope to understanding. gln0PN1G4a_mLNIQt2qQ8YGirIadYV-T Fri, 01 Nov 2019 12:00 +0000 00:00:00 yes full Episode 23 - Marlboro Man 182 2 James Anderson In this episode, Corbin from Paudeville (@paudeville) and I discuss this song that appeared on both of the demo albums, and appears to be a nihilistic examination of smoking. Corbin is a delight and played in a pop-punk band in his youth!

Parker to talk about this Instrumental Outtake from Enema. It was a conversation that was so good, I saved a 13 minute version. So, probably look for that at some point as bonus content. Possibly Scavengers Patreon content? Anyways, look for the very subtle nod to the Finish It podcast and enjoy the rest!

And I have Mike from Back to the Futurama (and other projects coming soooon) on to talk about this song that honestly should have been in Season 1. The clip I have is from the 1997 Radio Promo, but if you look on Spotify you can find the 2001 remastered version. If you're interested in the Radio Promo with Mark adlibs at the beginning, email me and we'll see what we can do! tjzKQPNAO9IgUVfzqTcZkW2Xk4wRoQQa Fri, 25 Oct 2019 12:00 +0000 00:00:00 yes full Episode 18 - I Really Wish I Hated You 177 2 James Anderson Today I'm joined by Kevin (@theKFM) from the Comics Canon (@thecomicscanon) to talk about NINE track "I Really Wish I Hated You". We talk about how the lyrics are very good but we wish they'd taken a side about the tempo of the song, rather than going for the middle of the road. Also, please forgive the quality of my audio. Kevin recorded the Skype call and I just decided to use that file and not my locally recorded file. 8hcqmcJZ8V8dM8Ii3nzfnMH3BfKEmD2A Thu, 24 Oct 2019 12:00 +0000 00:00:00 yes full Episode 17 - Hungover You 176 2 James Anderson Today I'm joined by Katelynn from Unnatural 20's (@unnatural20s) to talk about this song from NINE. We talk about how Matt kills it on this song and the 3-song mix that the band seem to be pushing us towards! I feel a little bad because in editing, I cut this one way down. I need you to know that it's not because Katelynn didn't have a lot to say. It was a great conversation that edited down to either too short or too long. Katelynn is a delight and she'll be back for Season 3 Q_01p6Jd-E6EPBSpCksPmEBsXITRUNu9 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 12:00 +0000 00:00:00 yes full Episode 16 - How to Live 175 2 James Anderson I am joined once again by Diana (@maudcaster), but this time we're talking about a Simple Creatures song. It's weird to hear this episode now because, at the time, I hadn't listened to more than this song and Adrenaline by the band, but now I believe I've heard it all. So you're going to hear an earlier version of me, who didn't know the other songs!

It honestly feels like Blink should have recorded more Descendents covers in their times. But, as I say in the episode, there may yet be one that we haven't featured yet. This is a good cover and I'll be listening to it a lot from now on! niQitFZEtaYarTZ02h6UB9TF48Ac1reU Mon, 21 Oct 2019 12:00 +0000 00:00:00 yes full Episode 14 - Heaven 173 2 James Anderson CW: Gun Violence Today, I'm joined by Elizabeth (@thelovliestliz) from Your Fave is Problematic and FMK All Day to talk about this song that is supposed to be about a mass shooting, but doesn't really talk about it or make a statement in any meaningful way. It was a FANTASTIC discussion and I think I did a fairly decent job of getting the best parts. The only part I had to cut that I think might result in an interesting discussion is this question: How could you make this song more clearly about what it's about without being exploitative of the victims?

This is a very good episode and I really hope you enjoy it. Also, if you're feeling lost and alone, and you've had thoughts of suicide, call someone. If not a friend or loved one, then the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (1-800-273-8255). tGiHTCNHA4BZatFxEOqUHoOyuF4x7BeF Thu, 17 Oct 2019 17:27 +0000 00:00:00 yes full Episode 12 - Generational Divide 171 2 James Anderson Today I am joined by Scavengers Network President/CEO/Podboss/Best Friend Colin M Parker to discuss this, the fastest, shortest song on NINE.

We're talking about a song called "Family Next Door" and that's probably all you need to know to have a pretty good grasp of the content of the song. We also briefly discuss my dumb misunderstanding of a related Weird Al song. Follow Erin at @UnabashedlyErin!

Find out what my favorite parts of the song are and what 2008 single parts of it remind me of! zj9U6HPDp4ljXAQH3sRzbZ6Qyyx56H6B Thu, 10 Oct 2019 12:00 +0000 00:00:00 yes full Episode 7 - Darkside 166 2 James Anderson @david_parke from @jimmyeatpod joins me once again and this time we're talking about the song with the youthful music video, the song that MIGHT be about a certain Geena Davis-adjacent character. As you can tell it was a blast you won't have to wait to wait to wait to wait to wait for it.

And ONLY from that demo. I talk about an unexpected influence and how I don't believe the lyrics that Genius has posted. Also, why this song surprised me. bsOQJ6ehXKgtZipsCtYU9E9x7629pBfK Wed, 02 Oct 2019 12:00 +0000 00:00:00 yes full Episode 1 - Adrenaline 160 2 James Anderson In this first episode about actual music, I am joined by My Friend David, From the Internet to talk about a Simple Creatures song that I am told is vastly different from the rest of the EP, but as of the writing of this description, I still haven't heard anything else. We had a discussion about the music video and I said it felt like they were doing a guest shot in Castle Rock.
