This week, we tackle the most amorphous of genres: Indie. What is Indie? What does it sound like? It is many things and while it tends to lean indie rock in this curated list, it isn’t just that. There is a voicemail...from a while ago. Oh, and go ahead and notice how wacky the sound of our voice is. Amy tried.

Mitchell and Amy get themselves together and record an episode after some time spent with too much work. From cuffed jeans to how amazing sundresses are, this episode covers it all. Shockingly, there are no songs about comfy socks here, but surely there are songs about them. Also, Mitchell and Amy had no idea how tall the other one was, so there is a hefty bit of conversation astonished about each other’s height.

This episode is all about that time we need for ourselves, you know, self-care. The world is still stressful and being kind to ourselves is definitely what is needed. Have a lazy day, take care of yourself, and have a home spa day.

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.

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: [email protected]

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.

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.)

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: [email protected]

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: [email protected]

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.

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.

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: [email protected]
