Cat "Goes the Distance" Power
So, the theme is “long distance” but there are so many revelations in this show that it cannot even be embodied in a description. Mitchell doesn’t lose socks, for one. Like, Mitchell does NOT lose socks. That is the most amazing talent. Also, Cat Power is not just short for Catherine Power.

International Tour in 30 Minutes
This episode is a revisit to a great theme from a couple of years ago: non-english centered music from wherever (no Klingon was submitted, sorry to say). A wide array of styles and influences from a few decades. A true international treat. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

Three Snowmen in a Trenchcoat Disguised as a Podcast
The US just came out of an epic “snow everywhere” incident which affected Memphis (and these streets)! So, let’s stay topical and talk about ice, snow, winter, and like, did I mention ice? Oh, and icicles! Turns out, there is quite a bit of chilly themed songs out there and here are some just for ya’ll.

Listening to the White Whale
This week is all about the shows that haven’t quite been seen yet (and may or may not be able to be seen in the future). Many references to technical difficulties that happened beforehand. Mitchell and Amy also got an amazing email and it is legitimately worth listening to! (Yes, the last sentence did end in a preposition, which is fine.)

Punk Walgreen’s of My Dreams
Continuing the good vibes from last episode, Mitchell and Amy are covering songs found out in the wild. Amy just assumes all music is from Kroger and Mitchell illuminates how amazing the playlist at his retail establishment is. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

Singing in Positive Cursive
Sometimes, a good vibes show is what is needed and heck, every show may be a good vibes show because E&E is trying to smudge the room of 2020. It may take a couple more smudges, but we are making progress. Enjoy this heckin good feeling show and block out the haters. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

The 2020 Year End Grab Bag
We’re all tired this year, so we are ending this year on an old fashioned grab bag where the Earbuddies can share the songs that are on their minds. Lots of poppy tunes and a couple from TikTok, everyone’s favorite short attention span theater platform.

Christmas 2020, Better Than Expected!
Look, this year is weird, and it is almost over. It has been hard and different than any year, so we might as well have a Christmas episode that represents the complicated feelings we are collectively having about this holiday season.

We Found Some Good Stuff in 2020
In a year where the world has been in various states of stand still, Mitchell, Amy, and the Earbuddies bring what was actually good this year, the music! So many good albums have come out and some of it has flown completely under the radar or musicians that have taken a break have come out with some new stuff. Amy may have totally credited Kaylah with liking show tunes,which may or may not be true, but she for sure loves Genesis (even has a tattoo!) Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

Episode 214: #nüvember
Mitchell brings his November social media project to the show this week with his Nu-Metal November theme. Turns out, Amy legit didn’t know she loves most of Nu-Metal that doesn’t have sad dolls on the front cover. Oh, yeah, and Cher has only two children (this will make sense after you listen to the show, so don’t tweet too quickly.)

We Learneded Some Stuff
This is an absolute lovefest of music that we learned about by making the show and listening to the show. Memories of shows past, like how Craig does have the best taste in music, and there is a beard parody song band, as well as a show theme idea come up. Also, towards the end, both Mitchell and Amy admit that they watch TikTok videos as a form of stress relief. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

Mom, May I Have a Nap?
This week, month, year has been exhausting, and while this next week is even exhausting to think about in America, we are just going to focus on how ding dang tired we are and listen to music about how ding dang tired we are.

Let's Get Aspirational
Aspirations, we all got aspirations! Be it the end of this year, holding someone’s hand, getting them dollahs, it is all covered here! Also, Amy wants to know the reason for Graham’s song is used to mess with Jeremy. Reach out! Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: eandepod@gmail.com

The Chillest of Beats
Coming off of last week’s anxiety-fest, it seems suiting to have the next theme be about being calm, chill, and generally relaxed. All the atmospheres of chill are here, from jazzy to lo-fi to psychedelic.

Circuitous Worry
If there is an unspoken theme of Earbuds and Earworms for the last near seven months, it is probably our low-key constant anxiety. This week, it gets spoken and discussed, and that catharsis is great to remind us that maybe we do need to relax our jaws and find our little escapes (like F*cked Up suggests).

Oh, the Mundanity
Surprisingly, “mundane tasks” has not been a theme before but oh, what a well! Mitchell, Amy, and the Earbuddies delve deep into songs that cover washing clothes, checking the cell phone, flipping through TV channels, and any number of mundane things we even do. Amy found some slugs, so that is also a topic.

Birthday Fiscal Year
Amy gets way too excited about birthdays and Mitchell goes along with the exuberance and the Earbuddies work with the theme like All-Stars! From Pop Rock to Comedy Metal, there is a birthday song for everyone here.

Digital Show about the Radio
Amy gets very geeked multiple times about Griffin McElroy and Esperanza Spalding’s interview on Wait! Wait! Don’t Tell Me! and Mitchell drops some knowledge about secret super influencers that are living a quiet life in Memphis. Actually quite shocking that this show wasn’t made earlier, because Amy always tells people that a podcast is just talk radio that you can choose when to listen to.

No Strings Attached But Without NSYNC
This episode is a journey as Mitchell and Amy attempt to nail down if they have seen the same NSYNC concert at the pre-Bass Pro Pyramid. There is also discussion of specific synths, vampires, Lars von Trier (who is creepy), and Bjork.
