The Low Standards and Pours Musicast

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.

It's all about Detroit Blues bands, bands from Detroit that don't play the blues, just bands, bands with colors in their name, El Carpe and his exotic dancing career....the Romantics, Toby Redd, Detroit Blues Band, The Sights, Six and the Sevens, White Stripes, Twistin' Tarantulas, Figures On a Beach, and probably some others... we were drinkin' so maybe we forgot some... 

It's Low Standards and Pours. Just say, "Pour me another Br...

One of our best shows so far! ... Thanks to Boogie and Fiddybritches we talked some new music, Kentucky and Indiana natives. (plus a Dos cameo)   It's the improptu craziness you expect from two amazing professionals like us... ok - yer right, but still - we had a blast talking about the Eclipse coming up, El Carpe drinking illegal beer in Ohio with his kids, music with Eclipse references, some useless El Crape trivial  news - but w...

Unprepared, unrehearsed, unfunny?  - it's the Magic Bag Show... listen in to find out why.   Eric and El Carpe make up from the severe vitriol of last week's brotherly lambasting of each other...  we are good now.

Bands we talked about...  The Verve Pipe, Speedy the Spider, Matthew Sweet, The Bangles...  Eric gives us the Husker Du / Bob Mould / Sugar linkage...  much more stuff too...  

We connect with our listener and have some m...

Our award-winning show received another "Dishonorable Mention" as one of Michigan's many music podcasts.   Our listener from all over the planet has affored us the multi-single-dollar media system (with screwdriver) and our lack of support staff keeps us streamlined and able to provide you a superiourly mediocre show.   tonight's topics; SHOEGAZE - the craze that lasted less than a year ... ish... talked about Slowdive, Lush, Swerv...

    Quiz Night !  (maybe) - El Carpe gives Eric a test of his musical knowledge (holy carp, he passed).      Here's 6 bands that had amazing debut albums... go ahead Eric, who are they????   The Police - The The - Nine Inch Nails - Dire Straights - Heart - Dandy Warhols...  and we chat about why each debut album was amazing.   Then there's "Eric Tunes" which all freakin' rock.  We listen to stuff from bands like The Black Keys, The...

One of our three thousand fans showed up to chat with us about AMAZING debut albums by various artists... El Carpe did at least 12 minutes of research and found a large number of amazing bands for us to discuss - and most are not in his tiny bubble of the '80's New Romantics.  Go figure.  Old farts can change. (maybe)   We had a blast chatting about Weezer, The Stone Roses, Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, the Cars, Fine Young Canni...

Well… this was silly. (as usual)

Great tunes were heard, illegible words were spoken, and a show was completed… we still don’t know how this all works (old man syndrome - mostly El Carpe's fault). 

Tonight, we did a “reaction show” to tunes – from bands like Ride, Earl Greyhound, Hosier, Kosikk, Killing Joke and some others that may surp...

Ohhhh, boy....El Carpe tonight, hmmmm. All the songs are about crazy...  An attempt at a light intelligent discussion about Alien/UFO/Paranormal/Spiritual...buttttt. Anyway, join us for a challenging discussion :)  through some wild topics, and enjoy some "crazy" tunes.     Where did this went go tonight....  El Carpe's brain gets fried... Eric gives me crap about being so horribly rational and a bit tunnel vision'd... it's a compl...

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 t...

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 (ag...

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 t...

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 ...

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...

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 guarante...
