TMC Podcast: Summer Edition #6

Friends and lovers,

Excuse my tardiness in posting TMC's 6th podcast. It was my monumental 21st birthday last week, and I was slightly more absent from the internet than usual. Listen as we discuss giving/receiving compliments, emailing, and more Olympics controversy with special guest Cameron! As always, we've got some bangin' beats. So check us out!

Note: If you download and listen through to the end before 8PM today, you'll notice that I forgot to fade out the last song. Whoops. It will be fixed shortly.

Thanks for listening and check back for this week's podcast later this week. Happy almost Friday!

Life After 50.. with Cyndi Lauper

We closed this past week's show with Cyndi Lauper's "Into the Nightlife," an infectious club track from Lauper's upcoming album Bring Ya To The Brink. Check out this interview with Lauper below and more importantly, shake your moneymaker to "Into the Nightlife."

In a battle of Cyndi Lauper vs. Madonna, I'm gonna give this one to Cyndi.

We appreciate your listening and hope you're enjoying our amateur creations. Thanks for all your support!

Podcast Failure #2

Well, show #4 has come and gone and unfortunately, the recording did not work out as planned. So loyal friends/listeners, stay tuned for next week's show. Lauren will finally be back and TMC will return with more light-hearted banter and good music!

Here's Goldfrapp's A & E, which we played on this week's show. Mellow with a bit of a build-up. It's a chick flick embodied in a song, if there is such thing. I dig the dancing bushes/leaf creatures.

Fleet Foxes at Black Cat

Robin Peckhold, lead singer of Fleet Foxes, has the humility of a much less hairy Japanese man. He brushed aside his long hair like a timid maiden and thanked the crowd repeatedly, almost bowing. From behind his beard, he seemed to be genuinely surprised at the size of the sold-out crowd at the Black Cat. "This a staggering amount of people... staggering."

Fleet Foxes have sold out venues for their last few dates, been named band of the week by Slate Magazine, have received 4 stars from Rolling Stone for their self-titled debut, and given a 9.0 rating on Pitchfork. Can someone alert Robin to his own greatness, please? That's not to say I didn't appreciate their humble attitude. TMC was charmed by their rugged lumberjack attire and liberal amounts of facial hair. My heart melted when the guitarist drank a can of coke and Robin sipped tea from a mug. Collective "aw."

The harmonies were stunning, as you can hear by listening to the recorded show on NPR's Live in Concert. Perhaps the only thing I would've appreciated more is a little momentum of the set; there were frequent pauses between songs, but I will forgive them because Robin was under the weather.

Long story short, buy the Fleet Foxes album (and their Sun Rises EP) and get tickets to their nearest show. The recent praise of Fleet Foxes is highly deserved and with tickets as low as $10, it's a bargain spiritual experience. Men with beards and sweet angelic harmonies? Count TMC in.

TMC's Second Podcast

Friends and lovers,

TMC recorded a podcast for our third show of the summer! Topics of talk include prostitution, the word "lovers," and more! Of course, there's good music to be heard. Please excuse our charming technical flubs.

We sincerely appreciate all the downloads of the first show, and we hope everyone continues to listen in the future. Thanks for all your support!

Mates of State on KEXP
