Season 3 Episode 31: #FreshCuts Vol. 71 Countdown

from The Midlife Critics Podcast · host The Midlife Critics

In this countdown format episode of our songs of the week from #FreshCuts Vol. 71, your host Burke Wasson is joined by Travis Boots, Bryan Mosby, Jesse Morgan, Wellington Davis, and Steve Strait in a voyeuristic turn sneaking up on us in the studio. You’ll hear some new audio features and clips from some fantastic songs. Travis marvels at hearing “the only Billy Joel song that matters.” Burke and Travis discuss the surprising influx of synthwave into #FreshCuts and bemoan shoegaze. Mosby is in “a mood,” yet bloviates both positively and negatively, especially at some of our group members for not voting for a certain song. Mosby also contemplates how much he sings and dances every day. Jesse discusses finding new music from “behind my son’s bedroom door.” Wellington remains the coolest dude in the group. Burke shares a story of a late night misadventure and feeling “obnoxious” while listening to prospective #FreshCuts. And we close this episode with our #1 song of the week, which had the most combined votes in #FreshCuts history. If you enjoy this podcast, you can donate any amount, big or small, to keep it going through the following apps:PayPal at [email protected] at @Burke-WassonCashApp at $BurkeWassonThank you for your support.
