Episodes

Our Band Name is Emotional Trash
This week, we tackle the most amorphous of genres: Indie. What is Indie? What does it sound like? It is many things and while it tends to lean indie rock in this curated list, it isn’t just that. There is a voicemail...from a while ago. Oh, and go ahead and notice how wacky the sound of our voice...
-
Ben Folds Five Pairs of Cuffed Up Jeans
Mitchell and Amy get themselves together and record an episode after some time spent with too much work. From cuffed jeans to how amazing sundresses are, this episode covers it all. Shockingly, there are no songs about comfy socks here, but surely there are songs about them. Also, Mitchell and…

Just a Lil Chill Time
This episode is all about that time we need for ourselves, you know, self-care. The world is still stressful and being kind to ourselves is definitely what is needed. Have a lazy day, take care of yourself, and have a home spa day. Music: Mac Miller - Self Care Ben Harper - Walk Away Sesame…

Cat "Goes the Distance" Power
So, the theme is “long distance” but there are so many revelations in this show that it cannot even be embodied in a description. Mitchell doesn’t lose socks, for one. Like, Mitchell does NOT lose socks. That is the most amazing talent. Also, Cat Power is not just short for Catherine Power.…

International Tour in 30 Minutes
This episode is a revisit to a great theme from a couple of years ago: non-english centered music from wherever (no Klingon was submitted, sorry to say). A wide array of styles and influences from a few decades. A true international treat. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: [email protected]...

Three Snowmen in a Trenchcoat Disguised as a Podcast
The US just came out of an epic “snow everywhere” incident which affected Memphis (and these streets)! So, let’s stay topical and talk about ice, snow, winter, and like, did I mention ice? Oh, and icicles! Turns out, there is quite a bit of chilly themed songs out there and here are some just for...
-
Listening to the White Whale
This week is all about the shows that haven’t quite been seen yet (and may or may not be able to be seen in the future). Many references to technical difficulties that happened beforehand. Mitchell and Amy also got an amazing email and it is legitimately worth listening to! (Yes, the last…

Punk Walgreen’s of My Dreams
Continuing the good vibes from last episode, Mitchell and Amy are covering songs found out in the wild. Amy just assumes all music is from Kroger and Mitchell illuminates how amazing the playlist at his retail establishment is. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: [email protected] Music: Wild...
-
Singing in Positive Cursive
Sometimes, a good vibes show is what is needed and heck, every show may be a good vibes show because E&E is trying to smudge the room of 2020. It may take a couple more smudges, but we are making progress. Enjoy this heckin good feeling show and block out the haters. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837)...

The 2020 Year End Grab Bag
We’re all tired this year, so we are ending this year on an old fashioned grab bag where the Earbuddies can share the songs that are on their minds. Lots of poppy tunes and a couple from TikTok, everyone’s favorite short attention span theater platform. Music: Midnight Sister - Blue Cigar Royal &...
-
Christmas 2020, Better Than Expected!
Look, this year is weird, and it is almost over. It has been hard and different than any year, so we might as well have a Christmas episode that represents the complicated feelings we are collectively having about this holiday season. Music: Lo Fi Geek - Jingle Bells LoFi Remix Gus Johnson - All…
more -
We Found Some Good Stuff in 2020
In a year where the world has been in various states of stand still, Mitchell, Amy, and the Earbuddies bring what was actually good this year, the music! So many good albums have come out and some of it has flown completely under the radar or musicians that have taken a break have come out with...
-
Group Hug
Hey, we needed a feel good about humanity episode, so we made a feel good about humanity episode. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: [email protected] Music: Geggy Tah - Whoever You Are The Replacements and Tom Waits - I Can Help The Rembrandts - I’ll Be There For You Old Crow Medicine Show -...

Episode 214: #nüvember
Mitchell brings his November social media project to the show this week with his Nu-Metal November theme. Turns out, Amy legit didn’t know she loves most of Nu-Metal that doesn’t have sad dolls on the front cover. Oh, yeah, and Cher has only two children (this will make sense after you listen to...
-
We Learneded Some Stuff
This is an absolute lovefest of music that we learned about by making the show and listening to the show. Memories of shows past, like how Craig does have the best taste in music, and there is a beard parody song band, as well as a show theme idea come up. Also, towards the end, both Mitchell and...
-
Mom, May I Have a Nap?
This week, month, year has been exhausting, and while this next week is even exhausting to think about in America, we are just going to focus on how ding dang tired we are and listen to music about how ding dang tired we are. Music: Tegan and Sara - Wake Up Exhausted Townes Van Zandt - Rake Edwin...

-
The Chillest of Beats
Coming off of last week’s anxiety-fest, it seems suiting to have the next theme be about being calm, chill, and generally relaxed. All the atmospheres of chill are here, from jazzy to lo-fi to psychedelic. Music: The Babe Rainbow - Morning Song The Mercury Program - You Give Me Problems About My...
-
Circuitous Worry
If there is an unspoken theme of Earbuds and Earworms for the last near seven months, it is probably our low-key constant anxiety. This week, it gets spoken and discussed, and that catharsis is great to remind us that maybe we do need to relax our jaws and find our little escapes (like F*cked Up...
-
Oh, the Mundanity
Surprisingly, “mundane tasks” has not been a theme before but oh, what a well! Mitchell, Amy, and the Earbuddies delve deep into songs that cover washing clothes, checking the cell phone, flipping through TV channels, and any number of mundane things we even do. Amy found some slugs, so that is...
-
Birthday Fiscal Year
Amy gets way too excited about birthdays and Mitchell goes along with the exuberance and the Earbuddies work with the theme like All-Stars! From Pop Rock to Comedy Metal, there is a birthday song for everyone here. Music: Lesley Gore - It’s My Party The Crests - Sixteen Candles Stevie Wonder -...
-
Digital Show about the Radio
Amy gets very geeked multiple times about Griffin McElroy and Esperanza Spalding’s interview on Wait! Wait! Don’t Tell Me! and Mitchell drops some knowledge about secret super influencers that are living a quiet life in Memphis. Actually quite shocking that this show wasn’t made earlier, because...
-
No Strings Attached But Without NSYNC
This episode is a journey as Mitchell and Amy attempt to nail down if they have seen the same NSYNC concert at the pre-Bass Pro Pyramid. There is also discussion of specific synths, vampires, Lars von Trier (who is creepy), and Bjork. Music: Hańba - Racyje Wardruna - Dagr The Young Gods - Fais La...

Rest in Power Trip

Music: Justin Townes Earle - Louisiana 1927 Mac Miller - Good News Amy Winehouse - Back to Black Cave In - Trepanning Lou...
-
What is the prime factorization of 203?
In an attempt to focus on some more obscure genres, Mitchell and Amy celebrate math rock. Mitchell shines with his innate understanding of what a time signature is and Amy looked up a Youtube video and a whole Reddit graph to help her choose a song. Also, Joe-Joe brought GDJYD’s Durian What What...
-
Blim Blam Laugh
Yeah, sure, we could go for some meaningful lyrics that dig deep into our souls and pull the tears out. This week is not about THOSE lyrics, it is about the inscrutable, gibberish, what the heck lyrics. Music Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol Pavement - We Dance Beck - The New…
more -
What is the Statute of Limitations?
This week has NOTHING to do with the episode number (only Memphis will understand). Mitchell and Amy bond over their possible life of crime, which is not provable. Don’t come at them! Also, what is the statute of limitations of stealing your own art from your now defunct high school library?…
more -
Let’s Do the 2,0000th, er, 200th Show
It’s all about the action and this week, super action jam packed with action songs and imperative songs (and one triple negative multiplier). Amy forgets how to actually speak and Mitchell drops all the Sweeney knowledge on us. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: [email protected] Music: Smash...
-
It’s Been A Week, So Now It Is A Grab Bag
Amy just wanted to shoehorn a specific song in so Mitchell had the illuminating idea to let everyone shoehorn their songs in! It is a cavalcade of genres that are absolutely amazing. Did you know India had nu-metal bands? Neither did we! Music: Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker Spoon - I Summon...
-
Exploding Confidence and Charisma
When you’re the greatest and you’re a musician, you make music about being the greatest. This week is all about those narcissistic self-hype songs that get us all bopping. Somehow it managed not to be an entire episode on Run the Jewels. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: [email protected]...
-
Bringing Out the Enchanted Castle
Turns out, Disney holds a special place in our hearts. Let’s just face it, Disney made the Millenials and Amy gets extremely excited about every song and Mitchell makes a case for the Fire Gang. Music: Star Wars Theme (Kaylah asked and we delivered) Hercules - I Wont Say I’m in Love Moana - We…
more -
Finding Our Joyful Noises
This week is about songs that bring us joy, or songs about the things that bring us joy, or however you define this theme this week. Mitchell gets that bittersweet tune in before Amy refuses to introduce her song so people will listen to it. There is a horns section before folks start taking...
-
Dabbling in Saxuality
Mitchell is the foremost expert on the gratuity of saxophone in songs and this week is all about determining if the sax usage has been appropriate. It is a range from when the singing is superfluous to when the sax has just gotten out of hand completely. Also, must all sax players be shirtless...
-
Summertime in the shade
This summer is going to be a little different than previous summers. There is this, like, massive thing going on worldwide, and we really can’t hang with each other around pools, beaches, or grills. The theme this week is focusing on the songs that make us feel like summertime is happening. Grab...
-
Group Project
It has been a full two years (about) since the subject of musical collaborations has come up on Earbuds and Earworms. Mitchell sings Icona Pop’s I Love It. Amy confuses Slayer and Stryper (like any good Christian child would). Also, just forgive the fact that Lovage and lavage are two separate...
-
Facing Our Uncomfortable Truths and Changing Them
This past two weeks have been a mirror of America’s past. Mitchell and Amy confront their white privilege and focus on songs that highlight the themes of hope, protest, and discontent in these current times. There is always something that we can do better within ourselves and within this culture....
-
Venue Reminiscing
This week is about reminiscing about the live shows in the before times. Remember live shows? Those were great. Mitchell got see a final show in a beloved venue not knowing it was the final show there. And yes, Amy does realize that she brought a cover song by Ben, but like, it is still like the...
-
Grab the Helmet and Kneepads
This week is all about the perceived dangers of the world. The bad relationships, terrible ideas, and fireworks that can cause bodily harm. It gets pretty terrifying, but of course, Amy is terrified of everything. Mitchell also discovered the scariest Metallica song. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837)...
-
A Still More Glorious Podcast Awaits
In this exceedingly vast theme (the cosmos), Mitchell, Amy, and the Earbuddies, suggest just a couple of songs about the universe. There are aliens, there is romance, there are some sick beats, then there is Sun Ra. It gets pretty epic. Music: Foo Fighters - February Stars Helium - Leon’s Space...
-
Yucking the Jam Yum
This week is all about yucking your own yum music style. You know that total jam that you love, well, criticize that. And if you ever wanted to hear Amy’s version of a southern accent, you have indeed come to the correct episode. Music: Cher - Believe Broken Note - Meltdown Viagra Boys - Sports...
-
Softcore Satanism
In this week’s episode of haunted audio, Mitchell and Amy annoy some spirits, talk about choosing the wrong candles, and other creepy spellcasting mishaps. Wizards, witches, portals, and pastels. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email: [email protected] Music: Deja Vu - Witchy Woman Heart - Magic…
more -
Pop-Up Earbuddies
This week, inspired by Earbuddy Jenny, he show is about those songs with that weird trivia behind them, like the song written by an NFL player, or the goth metal song that is really about a kitty cat. Amy shows that she only knows one vague thing about one song and Mitchell brings all the…
more -
Conspiracies in the Comment Section
After a couple of internet conversations (read: arguments) with folks that have fallen too far into the internet, Mitchell and Amy tackle paranoia and conspiracies through song this week. The Earbuddies have had their fill too and bring all the songs that give that unease, followed, and...
-
Treehouses and the Songs that Made Them
This week is pretty much the definition of Earbuds and Earworms. The songs that we got from friends and mark special moments in our lives and our friendships. Whether we are traveling cross-country to meet internet friends, building treehouses, trying to pull a sneaky and introduce new music, or...
-
Hiding in the Covers
Look, the theme of the show isn’t Amy mispeaking over and over, but it happens, we have acknowledged it. Just tweet complaints at her manager, because it is absolutely shameful. The actual theme is covers, which hasn’t even been mentioned for two years...that’s pretty shameful as well. Anyhoo,...
-
Quarantunes
This week, a very tired Amy and self-isolating before it was cool Mitchell, recorded a show that finally acknowledges the current global pandemic. They had been pretty quiet about it, but like, umm, they had to record remotely from each other. The Earbuddies brought some absolute perfect gems.…

I Apologize. To Everyone Involved.
Drafting off of last week’s theme of having an episode publish and not being edited properly, this week’s episode is about miscalculations, mistakes, and general oopsies. Let’s all just settle in and admit we all aren’t perfect and mistakes are just the human in us showing through with a playlist...
-
Sailing the Seas of Tunes
This week, Mitchell and Amy collect songs about large bodies of water and Amy gets progressively more caffeinated as the show progresses. There is some really dumb levity in this one and cracking jokes is one of the ways to weather this week in the news. Voicemail: 731-400-BUDS(2837) Email:...
-
One of Us (Welcome to the Bespeckled)
This past week, Mitchell has finally received his first pair of glasses and it is either to correct his astigmatism, or hide his superhero alter ego. As with any event in their lives, Mitchell and Amy make a theme of it and boy, oh boy, are there many many songs about vision, eyesight, eyeballs,...
-
Notable Songs About Notable People
In the early light of noon, Amy awoke from sleep to come up with a theme. The theme was “notable people” and that is what is on the plate this week! Mitchell, as always, has well thought out and researched commentary and Amy, for once, googled information on more than a single song. A flugelhorn…
