If you've never listened check out this gem of a ballad from their hit album, Bump City.

But he was so much more than that. Though he died far too young, his unique and inimitable style has continued to inspire. This song, the title track from his only studio album, Grace, showcases what was great about Buckley.

It's an unrequited love song, yes, but it's so much more. Simple structure, but lush instrumentation. Common themes, but also, in-your-face and unsettling. This song is quintessential PJ Harvey if you've never heard her before. As a bonus, you also get a cell phone interruption and an obnoxious exhaust note from a muscle car driving by Dan's house. And lest we forget, you also get a link below to a live performance by PJ Harvey herself and a li...2021-08-0116 minBrothers in SongMini Episode: Guiseppe Verdi - "The Quartet" from RigolettoSo you say you don't like opera, huh? Well, if you have ears you should really like this. The Quartet from Rigoletto is extremely complex, yet when it's done well, the music and performers make it seem effortless and undeniably beautiful. "Seem" being the operative word. Spend some time with it, and we're sure you'll agree this is some of the best music on Earth. Follow the link below to hear the version of the piece we listened to for the show.

In this one we finally talk about Pearl Jam, a band we've mentioned a number of times on the program. Alive is a great song that still holds up today, and it's now a classic rock staple. But it's a little weirder than you might think and doesn't have a whole lot of conventional elements that make up most hit songs. In any case, it's one of our favorites. Check out the links below to enjoy a live performance by Pearl Jam. And also merch!

The brothers talk about life, loss, the wonder of nature, and of course, the humbling void of outer space. Don't worry. Somewhere in there is music to discuss. But that's what the best music does, right? It gets you to think and feel things! Per usual we ask you to check out the links below to help you enjoy the episode. Thanks for listening, friends!

Pet Sounds is definitely one of those landmark albums that fans would admonish us for because we didn't listen sooner. On this installment Joe pays tribute to some of his favorite composers, and Dan falls down the research rabbit hole. We also try to identify a bunch of weird instruments. There's a lot to tackle here, so take the trip with us. Check out the links below for a bunch of fun videos featuring Joe's favorite composers and other goodies.

We always end the show with the tagline, "Listen to some new music. You may surprise yourself." This was definitely a surprise to us. It only goes to show that repeated listening can lead you to hear things you hadn't heard before and change opinions.

If you didn't think it was possible for Joe and Dan to talk for 41 minutes about an 11 minute piece of music, you haven't been listening to the podcast very long! As usual, you'll get a couple of tortured analogies from Dan, and Joe uses his expertise to put everything in it's proper context.

Turns out there's a ton to like. Joe takes issue with some of the more "experimental" moments on the record, while Dan can't remember anyone's name. Not even Youssou N'Dour who contributed the distinctive vocal improvisations at the end of the aforementioned, In Your Eyes. As usual we've included a bunch of links in the notes below that will hopefully augment this episode and fill in the gaps in Dan's memory. For best listening, raise a boom...2021-05-2345 minBrothers in SongNat King Cole - The Very Thought of You"Madison Avenue is afraid of the dark." That's what entertainment pioneer, vocalist extraordinaire, and American icon, Nat King Cole said after his variety show, the first on network TV host by a Black person, was cancelled. Fortunately, though he did not have a long life, Cole left a huge body of work for us to enjoy. In this episode, the brothers go full on music nerd while discussing the finer details of his 1958 album, The Very Thought of You.

First, we have a lively talk about Parton's cultural impact and recent resurgence in popularity. We spend the second half of the episode on Jolene. It's a short album, only 25 minutes long. But there's so much to hear and discuss, from Dolly's lyrics and voice to the highly skilled session musicians.

Every edit you fake... Every hot take... Every mic you break, I'll be watching you..."
There are some bands that you just forget how good they are. The Police are one of those bands. Not that every track on this 80's classic is a gem. But the ones that are... Holy Hell! Joe makes an astute connection to composer Phillip Glass, and Dan manages to talk about Pearl Jam... again. Check out the link below so you can see why we like Stewart Copeland so much.
