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.

Hey Eric ! Pogue Mahone ! (listen in to see what I meant by that) - tonight we honor a talented disreputable drunk who made some amazing music - and touched lives, probably on accident, but did so anyway. yes Shane MacGowan - lead singer of The Pogues.
Eric throws some unique new music my way - "The Mystery Lights", and others... made me go Wow - then throws "La Hell Gang" and others at me - good stuff !...
Then there's that crazy Cat Power chat... that gal has an awesome voice. We have a "Cat Power - music battle" which works well for everyone exept those of you listening...
The Pogues... Shane MacGowan - if we could do a proper tribute, we would... but this show is all we can do.
Thanks for listening (both of you). Rock on and "pour me another brother"

Tonight was another injustice to a great band... The Talking Heads ! We pretended to know many things, we did not. But we sure did play some cool tunes from STOP MAKING SENSE which was/is an iconic music concert movie. We forgot to say things like "this was very uniquely filmed" and "David Byrne's movements on stage were hypnotic" and stuff like that. We DID acknowledge the amazing music.
Then we went off into the weeds (again) and discussed the Smiths, James, other bands and a variety of movies... so another potentially great show damaged by us actually talking to each other and having fun.
Both of our listeners who are not related to us, told us this show was almost moderately interesting. Give it a listen and you be the judge.
Thanks for being part of our adventure in music !
Pour Me Another Brother !

We apologize in advance. El Carpe (co host) and his 1980's technology. hey look - we are two crazy Detroiter's that decided on an impromptu chat about local Detroit music...we got a little squirrelly and had a shiite pile of fun.
We talked about The Handgrenades, The Sights, The Warlocks, Boubon Squirrel - and others... closed with Six and the Sevens - "Go all night".
Join us for some unscripted, unedited, unrehearsed, under technology, live commentary from 2 Detroit aged flavors - and maybe you'll hear some tunes that flip that album and maybe you'll wanna get these tunes ...
Rock on and Pour Me Another Brother.

Iconic Sounds... of the not-super-famous kind. Tonight we stumble through a discussion about some really rockin' bands that maybe you haven't heard about.
The Cult with Ian Astbury (who also was lead vocals for The Doors revival band), The Black Keys - with two guys on stage put forth a massive wall of sound to kick ya in the pants, Rival Suns - another rockin' band which Eric has many good things to say about, and of course - The Black Crowes - who have a unique but comfortable sound that we can all get behind.
TOMMY B from Tennessee stops in to give us some energy... and crazy stories...
Scooter from The Beans and Weenies Show actually stopped by and hung out for a while (probably too long for his tastes)
Join us for a romp through some fun - music - silly conversation among friends... no one cried this time. (I promise)
Also, no bagpipes were played in this show, no ears were damaged and there was a large pile of goofiness to be had by all.
Rock on... and Pour Me Another Brother !

BEN Harper ! we went to see him this week and was a great show ! Join us for a discussion about the concert, and hear us go off on a tangent that somehow relates to Ben Harper... we crazy man.
We stumbled upon "The Cush" from somewhere, and Volebeats (from Hamtramck)...
It was fun for us making this show for ya, hopefully the two of you who are not related to us who might listen all the way through will have as much fun as we did... but that's doubtful. (I've met us)
rock on and Pour Me Another Brother !

Finally... these two buddies who love music get back together to chat about stuff... Peter Gabriel was in Detroit recently and El Carpe got to go - and the two of us are going to see the Volbeats open for Ben Harper next week... will be an eclectic show !
We talk about great guitar work - started with Ben Harper, then Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen... then into the weeds with Merry Clayton & the Stones - gimmie shelter !
We give props to Playing for Change (great Charity) and many other emotion wrenching songs.
Join us for the silly. We had a great time - hope you do too.
(support your local musicians whenever possible)

Well...you heard it folks. We defined todays ERA of music. I think. What is it? We showcased The Beatles, Queen, Ziggy, Prince, Madonna, ELO and a host of other bands that defined us...50 year olds. What defines music today? Has social media damaged todays ERA? Or has it allowed songwriters to be heard without identifying with an ERA? You decide. Thanks to Lady Rebecca and Father Brian from Planet ADHD for their partcipation. Tommy B from Biz Meets Global...we'll catch you next time! Just say, Pour me another brother. See you next week! Maybe.

I like American Music... Baby. Tonight we play all sorts of great American bands - music - stuff... then we quickly roll off into the weeds - pretty much like we always do. but we had fun making this show - hope both of our listeners enjoy this one as much as we did makin' it.
the law offices of Statler, Waldorf, Jamison, and other whiskey have provided us with the legal protection against copyright strikes and barely guarantee that Eric won't go to jail soon... (El Carpe is already there)
Join us for a trip, slip and fall down and don't sue us please. At least three of our listeners enjoyed our show tonight... you might too - Let's have some fun chatting about American Music...
This just in:
Covid 19
Deroit Lions 21

The Hammond B3 Organ... Instrument? Vocalist? Accent? You decide. This instrument has a FAnominal history that we barely touch upon... but we sure do chat about the songs where it's featured...
It's difficult to say what popular music would be, would have become without this instrument...
Enjoy some barely informational chat about this great instrument... more importantly enjoy the tunes we played tonight.
Remember folks, (both of you) - You haven't paid for this, so when you're disappointed ya got nothing to complain about !
Join us for an impromptu invasion of Planet ADHD with Father Brian and Lady Rebecca on Sept 7th - we fully intend to have a ton of fun there.
If ya like the 'cut of our jib' - join us again live (we'll talk to ya and stuff) next time.
Thanks to both of our listeners who aren't related to us for supporting our show, and we hope we've passed the audition. (did ya get the Beatles reference? sheesh man.)
