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.

QUIZ SHOW NIGHT THINGY, sorta...
This one is all about trying to guess the original artist based on the Cover version that made it big(ish).
There's some real gems here - only 2 turds - you figure it out and feel free to comment which ones are which.
As you listen, ask yourself these things - Do you remember when you first heard the cover - And did you realize it was a cover?
Please enjoy this high-quality, technically superior show that we threw together in 8 minutes with 5 toothpicks, some scraps of duct tape and a moldy sponge.
We'd like to thank the Law Offices of Jamison, Walker, Statler and Waldorf for their continued support keeping us both out of prison for whatever dumb things we didn't allegedly do. Also, thank you to our listeners who are not related to us who join us on occassion - yer both the bestest.
Tell all your friend about our show.

Tonight is all about that Land Down Under ! Australia has produced some amazing bands - many you know VERY well, many you don't - and we are about to introduce (or re-introduce) you to a whole bunch of great tunes... give us a listen...
HEY ! Please comment on this one... If you were able to meet your favorite band ever... what are the Three Questions you would ask them... we will be interviewing many bands coming up this next year - and want your input... so do that please.
We went through the 70's (The Saints, AC/DC, Cold Chisel, Skyhooks, INXS, etc..) and the 80's briefly (Divinyls, Hunters & Collectors, Nick Cave, Crowded House) the 90's (Savage Garden, Regurgitator, The Vines, The Avalanches, The Sleepy Jackson) and after that... 2000 and beyond... Jet, Cut Copy, Pendulum, Howling Bells, Wolfmother, and Empire of the Sun.
Look - you don't have to like all the music we discuss... but it's totally fine to appreciate the artists. If there's something you liked hearing - go buy stuff directly from that band.
Thanks for joining in on this conversation between two buddies who love music, and love talking about it.
Support your local artist !

This show was all about friends, fun and music... and within 3mins it got weird. So pretty much like all our other shows.
Tommy B joins us from the road in EL PASO - so we played a relevant song... and then a buncha fun other trucking songs!
In the background we had El Carpe's playlist stuff... "ZiLENTNOIZE xxx" find this guy on the tubes of you, or googlay - great mixes, great tunes (according to El Carpe) - just a good hour each of click, play, listen - and do the stuff you do when you do that thing listening to music like you do.
Shows coming soon - Eric's Playlist, Listener Questions & Comments, Upstairs at Eric's (downstairs) - we'll explain later... and of course the never requested, and often lamented "El Carpe's Playlist".
We'll keep you updated on the upcoming silly !
Pour Me Another Brother !

Welcome back from our crazy winter break ! Tonight we talk about all sorts of stuff - music, moving, stories,... it got a little weird - but it's us, so what do you expect?
Playing for Change... look that up, listen, and buy a high quality t-shirt if you like the message and cause.
We had a romp through "Eric's Playlist" - including The Gories, Welshy Arms, mygut, Flat Duo Jets, Giant Drag and many others.
There was that interlude about El Carpe's "finding the family" story - and we'll keep you abreast of any developments there...
Thanks for joining our bit of silly, and the traipsing through our musical shennanegans...
We appreciate both of you, and hope we passed the audition.
Pour me another Brother.

“The Romantics... whatever happened to these chart-toppers of the early 80's? Here's a small chunk of the story. (as much as we could be bothered to "research") Also, we have our long-standing, super-popular segment where we take a brief peek into "Eric's Playlist". Tonight we play some tunes, make up some history based on mostly facts we are almost aware of, and then stuff happens…
We played a ton of The Romantics music tonight, and stumbled drunkenly down memory lane - but our horrible attempt at crafting a show that totally respects this band's talent and artistic flair... failed miserably - so here's the band's website - if you like, liked, will like, want or will want anything Romantics related - go here and exchange your real money for their real merchandise/music/etc. It's all about rewarding the artists for their efforts that affect our lives. https://www.romanticsdetroit.com/
Eric's Playlist included: Longwave "Wake me when it's over"; Bear In Heaven "Autumn" and a 90's classic underground tune by Kitchens of Distinction "Drive That Fast".
Here's your musical zen thought of the week that El Carpe rattled off during the show:
"Music and songs have different meanings to different people - but as long as it inspires thought, feeling, or emotion - it's worth it. Even if you interpret the artists message wrong - your brain got exercise. buy some songs, give them two braincells a workout."
Join our super-schitty-secret committee... "the Inebriatti" - all ya gotta do is type in comments during the show "Pour Me Another Brother" and you're in. there's no test, no initiation, no membership fee... we have Low Standards... duh."

ERIC'S PLAYLIST ! ! !
Girl... I'm just a Jeepster for your love... holy wow this show went off the rails early - and we did that for your entertainment only... Tommy B from Tennessee showed up to give us his take on Eric's playlist, along with El Carpe's drunken mumblings - we hear from bands like (no actually) Mr Airplane Man, The Veils, Magic Shoppe, Ghost Woman, Lord Huron, The Spyrals, La Hell Gang, Lightnin' Hopkins, The Koolaid Electric Company, and Al Lover... yep - El Carpe gives his critique of Eric's playlist and it's fun as all get out. (at least to us, and we have Low Standards)
Look folks, this is always unplanned, unprofessional and unscripted - live reactions to music - it's really two buddies talkin' about the tunes they like - if you wanna listen in, we totally welcome you.
Music is to be shared. Music is to be enjoyed with others... Music can save the planet... ok, maybe just enjoyed & shared - but seriously - we hope you enjoy this show as much as we have fun making it for you.
Join our super secret schitty committee = just say "pour me another brother" and you are in - remember, we have Low Standards... doesn't take much to be one of us.
rock on.

Tonight we attempt (poorly) to enter into the world of electronic music. Detroit has such a rich history of electronic music and festivals - give us a listen for a mis-informed discussion of Movement Electonic Music Festival (every Memorial Day weekend) and the Electonic Forest festival occuring sometime during the year - both in Michigan.
We listen to, and discuss bands from 2022 Detroit Movement Electronic Festival - like, Duck Sauce, Huey Mnemonic, PooBon, Moon Rocks, and others... and El Carpe almost turns into a weeping child over the message behind Fred Again featuring The Blessed Madonna with a song called "Marea (We've Lost Dancing)" - the things we lost due to Covid... but the underlying message is that we have the ability to re-connect through music, festivals... and yes, Dancing. (you listeners can insert the appropriate Footloose courtroom scene quote here if you remember that one)
Kick out the jams, get on the dance floor, hug somebody... and go buy some music... and share the musical experience with someone else.
Thanks for joining us on this mis-adventure in music. Join our super schitty committee... the super secret society "the Inebriatti"... just listen live on Thursdays around 8:30 EST and type in ... "Pour me another brother" - and you are IN !
We also appear on lagoonanautmedia.com - more on that to come !
