The Low Standards and Pours Musicast
This Podcast is autonomously driven by a couple Detroit aged flavors...ALWAYS live and unrehearsed, never edited, unprofessional and sometimes controversial...most of the times we stink, literally. A passion for music is our soulful transportation...well, until the mothership finds us... So, if we sound mindfully interesting, get in, buckle up, it’s an unguarded moment.

It's all about Detroit Blues bands, bands from Detroit that don't play the blues, just bands, bands with colors in their name, El Carpe and his exotic dancing career....the Romantics, Toby Redd, Detroit Blues Band, The Sights, Six and the Sevens, White Stripes, Twistin' Tarantulas, Figures On a Beach, and probably some others... we were drinkin' so maybe we forgot some...
It's Low Standards and Pours. Just say, "Pour me another Brother".
Oh ya, don't be a Swiftie-

One of our best shows so far! ... Thanks to Boogie and Fiddybritches we talked some new music, Kentucky and Indiana natives. (plus a Dos cameo)
It's the improptu craziness you expect from two amazing professionals like us... ok - yer right, but still - we had a blast talking about the Eclipse coming up, El Carpe drinking illegal beer in Ohio with his kids, music with Eclipse references, some useless El Crape trivial news - but we still made it fun for us.
We listened to some Andrew Bird-Take Courage
Wizard Ink-(still searching), Moby, Manfred Man, David Bowie, Sade, Pink Floyd and Fatboy Slim. (and of course The Hangrenades and 6&7's)
We had a blast making this show, hopefully you get some new music out of it.
It got more interesting (to us) as the show progressed - if you can survive the first 20mins - you'll be rewarded by the rest. (maybe)
NPR - Father Dad. (a short story narrated by NPR, written by a friend, definately worth a listen)

that's a link to a great story...
As always - be part of our mess, and say "Pour Me Another Brother"
(don't forget about 'Six and the Sevens', 'The Handgrenades' and others from the local Detroit music scene... good stuff)

Unprepared, unrehearsed, unfunny? - it's the Magic Bag Show... listen in to find out why. Eric and El Carpe make up from the severe vitriol of last week's brotherly lambasting of each other... we are good now.
Bands we talked about... The Verve Pipe, Speedy the Spider, Matthew Sweet, The Bangles... Eric gives us the Husker Du / Bob Mould / Sugar linkage... much more stuff too...
We connect with our listener and have some mixology chats - drinks baby !
there wes a ton of fun happening tonight, at least we thought we had fun...
We would like you to join us, comment and share and whatever else people to that boosts our show in the world of the All Powerful Algorithm.
As always... Pour Me another brother.

Our award-winning show received another "Dishonorable Mention" as one of Michigan's many music podcasts. Our listener from all over the planet has affored us the multi-single-dollar media system (with screwdriver) and our lack of support staff keeps us streamlined and able to provide you a superiourly mediocre show.
tonight's topics;
SHOEGAZE - the craze that lasted less than a year ... ish... talked about Slowdive, Lush, Swervedriver, Blur, Ride, Chapterhouse... and some others.
Eric's Stopify Collection - Scott Von Ryper, Khruangbn & Leon Bridges, Dandy Warhols & Debbie Harry, Jenny Lewis and Moon Duo.
We had fun poking fun at each other the way brothers who like each other but don't want others to know ...
Pour me another brother - cuz the mother ship is coming for El Carpe next week.

Quiz Night ! (maybe) - El Carpe gives Eric a test of his musical knowledge (holy carp, he passed).
Here's 6 bands that had amazing debut albums... go ahead Eric, who are they????
The Police - The The - Nine Inch Nails - Dire Straights - Heart - Dandy Warhols... and we chat about why each debut album was amazing.
Then there's "Eric Tunes" which all freakin' rock. We listen to stuff from bands like The Black Keys, The Inbreds, Cold Stare, Muddy Magnolias, and wait... Material Issue !?!?!
yeah, we had a blast together chatting about music we love - join us for a romp through some silly and if you really like the tunes we play, don't be shy and go ahead and pay real money for the music - find the band's website and get stuff directly from the artists (it's better that way)
We had a ton of fun together - we hope you enjoy our goofy and tell both of your friends about our silly show.
Join us weekly-ish - call in and be part of our show - be a part of the ever-increasing volume of our amazingness - and be a Low Standards "Lowie" - call in and say "pour me another brother".

One of our three thousand fans showed up to chat with us about AMAZING debut albums by various artists... El Carpe did at least 12 minutes of research and found a large number of amazing bands for us to discuss - and most are not in his tiny bubble of the '80's New Romantics. Go figure. Old farts can change. (maybe)
We had a blast chatting about Weezer, The Stone Roses, Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, the Cars, Fine Young Cannibals and the Smiths. There was a bunch of very specific reverence to Chris Cornell. (RIP)
There was a brief discussion on Sigor Ros and Dead Ghosts - both great.
We played music, chatted, basically had a great time together - give this one a listen if you wanna hear two good buddies chatting about, and playing music they love.
Lower your Standards, join us for what we thought was a fun time - and be one of the three people who are not related to us who enjoy our show.
As always... Pour Me Another Brother.
and here's the extra... was letting youtube play after one of the many windows I had open... and this came up ... I kinda like it - and may want us to add to a show for 'something new'... ok, at least new to me.
Dream Cars - Irony is a fine vacation

Well… this was silly. (as usual)
Great tunes were heard, illegible words were spoken, and a show was completed… we still don’t know how this all works (old man syndrome - mostly El Carpe's fault).
Tonight, we did a “reaction show” to tunes – from bands like Ride, Earl Greyhound, Hosier, Kosikk, Killing Joke and some others that may surprise you – Stone Roses and more…
Eric and I enjoy chatting about tunes together – we hope you enjoy being a voyeur into our conversations about the music we like… one of these days we’ll be famous (not today, obviously) and Joe Rogan will wash our feet (obvious religious overtone intended).
Thanks for listening to our mess – we would appreciate any contributions to our cause if we knew how to ask for that, or how to accept it. Cash or check is fine. Contact Eric for details... somehow.
“Pour me another brother”… and as always… rock on.

Ohhhh, boy....El Carpe tonight, hmmmm. All the songs are about crazy... An attempt at a light intelligent discussion about Alien/UFO/Paranormal/Spiritual...buttttt. Anyway, join us for a challenging discussion :) through some wild topics, and enjoy some "crazy" tunes.
Where did this went go tonight.... El Carpe's brain gets fried... Eric gives me crap about being so horribly rational and a bit tunnel vision'd... it's a complete shitte-show !
Need to thank our 1000+ listeners tonight who barely enjoyed our rambling of show, and let us know how much you wanted to kick El Carpe in the pants with your comments somewhere ... wherever comments can be made. We might actually read and reply. (no guarantees)
We do appreciate all of you who listened this evening :) See you Thursday!

We're BAAAACCCKK in the saddle again... some famous band said that a while ago... but that's us baby !
New year - new craziness - same two old coots.
Join us for the "What's The Heckels Were We Thinkin'" show - if you can guess what the theme was supposed to be - you're ahead of us...
Turns out we had a show in the pipe and we talked about:
Bad Liquor Pond, bnny, La Hell Gang, New Candys, Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound, Thee Oh Sees, The Warlocks, Levitation Room, The Spyrals, Froth, Moon Duo, The KVB, Allah-Las, The Spits, Elephant Stone, The Black AngelsTV, New Candys, Ghost Woman, and maybe more? we lost track... oh, and this talent at "Moonic Productions"... this kid rocks...
We are under the mistaken impression this was a good start to a hopefully fun and crazy year ... to be determined.
Thanks to both of our fans who regularly listen to us while doing menial tasks at home - we couldn't do it without you.
Pour me another brother !
