Durds is one of my all time favourite rm people but I’ll never take pod recommendations off him ever again after the Dax Shepard debacle.

Do you like Reply All at all, Trag?
This one might be right up your alley. It's about a guy trying to track down a song that he remembers but no one else knows. It's awesome.

Re: What podcasts are you listening to?
I haven't listened yet, but it's getting a ton of hype. Apparently it's about a search for a song forgotten to time or something. Up my alley but I just haven't had a chance yet.tragabigzanda wrote:you gotta sell it better than that bub

Re: What podcasts are you listening to?
Similar to this episode's theme, I've had one or two measures of a specific synthesizer melody playing in my head clear as day since around 1997. I swear it's part of a song that was popular on the radio at the time, but I can't construct the rest of the song. Whatever song you name, that won't be it. It's maddening.

Re: What podcasts are you listening to?
The instrument sounds soft, analog and kind of synthy. Almost like a Stereolab song. Except Stereolab was never a thing on my local radio. Slowish tempo. Maybe mid tempo.
Again, circa 1996-1997.

Re: What podcasts are you listening to?
Was that really news to anyone?
Record companies for decades,would sign bands with the intention of never doing anything wth them at all but just to use them as channels for tax write offs. It’s always happened.
