Ep. 10: Caramia
THE INDIGO GIRLS in concert at the Fargo Civic Center in May 1995. Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my 10th episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, I'm writing to you from Grand Rapids, Mich., where I recently took in a live taping of the All About Agatha podcast with host and author Kemper Donovan, discussing his debut mystery novel "The Busy Body," which I reviewed around the 20-minute mark in Ep. 92 of my other, more media-centered podcast, VideoFuzzy. https://bit.ly/49U5dQX Kemper was in fine voice, handing off hosting duties to Schuler Books events coordinator Elizabeth Bosscher and giving so far the most detailed look at that novel, released earlier this year, on his podcast, check it out if you get a chance, it's sure to post shortly. As for this podcast, most of my entries so far have been driven by the alphabet – all the artists in my collection who begin with the letter A, or the letter C and so on. But with the Indigo Girls, I've got seven LPs and a few singles to talk about – more than 80 tracks in my collection altogether – as well as a VHS tape of concert footage. They're artists I've been listening to since I was in my teens. I've attended at least one, possibly two of their concerts. They've influenced my musical tastes and woldview more than I will ever know and I enjoyed this opportunity to talk about them. Format was a bit different this time. I talk a little about my earliest encounters with their music, then I talk about their single "Caramia" as a title track, pulling up "Burn All the Letters" as a feature later on. Under "Influences," I tried talking about the LPs in order of release, but quickly found that didn't really convey my experience of their music in my life. So I approached it in general topics, like spirituality, and exploration, and activism. I talked about a vibe I was getting from their song "Burn All the Letters" and emotional ties that song sparked in me. I talked about a couple songs from "All That We Let In" that seem to explore different sides of the same conversation – "Fill It Up Again" and "Come On Home" – and close with "Go," one of the strongest get-out-the-vote motivators I've ever heard. As always, any "music" anyone thought they heard in this tiny indie podcast was simple sketch reference included for illustrative purposes to prompt listeners to track down and explore commercially available music through officially licensed sources and is by no means meant to infringe on anyone's copyright, licensing or distribution agreements.

Ep. 9: Flagpole Sitta
Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my ninth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, titled "Flagpole Sitta," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter H. My intro includes a reprise of the scrap of "At the Closing of the Year" from the "Toys" soundtrack arranged by Hans Zimmer. (link: https://bit.ly/3UaASsX) I shared a passage in Ep. 91 of my VideoFuzzy podcast, but I felt it had gotten a little overproduced and I wanted to take a cleaner, more bare bones run at it here. Under Title Track, I talk about "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger (https://bit.ly/425uCoB) and other songs on their 1997 LP release "Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?" In Lost Tracks, songs that did not transfer properly from one PC to the next, I added "Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)" (1972) by The Hollies back into my collection, and talk about it alongside their 1966 hit "Bus Stop." In my Influences segment [full LPs], I talk about The Heart Throbs' "Cleopatra Grip," and Hootie and the Blowfish's "Cracked Rear View," highlighting "Not Even the Trees" (https://bit.ly/4b4GMlz) In my Breakouts segment [multiple tracks] I talk about Halestorm's "I Miss the Misery" and their cover of "Bad Romance."

Ep. 8: Houses
Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my eighth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, titled "Houses," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter G. This one explores some overlap between my two podcast projects, music and media – particularly music I've encountered in shows and movies and added to my Apple Music catalog. Under Title Track, I talk about "Houses" by Great Northern and "Take on Me" by aha! I added "Houses" after the song appeared in the fourth season finale of "The Magicians."

Ep. 7: Immortals
Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my seventh episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Immortals," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter F. Under Errors, I get a bit of help explaining a goof I made in "Ep. 6: Taking Over Me" from Schatzy Eichmann, whom you can see in the Dakota Stage Ltd. production of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," those details available here: https://bit.ly/3LzwfDH In my Title Track, I talk about Fall Out Boy and their song "Immortals" from its appearance in "Big Hero 6" and their 2015 LP release "American Beauty/American Psycho." You can watch the video here: https://bit.ly/48sFyzd or here: https://bit.ly/457Kwyp, and here is the Fall Out Boy channel on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3EUBuKG In Lost Tracks, songs that did not transfer properly from one PC to the next, I replaced missing or damaged songs by Fall Out Boy, Falco, Fleetwood Mac, Faithless, Foo Fighters, Franz Ferdinand, Fountains of Wayne and Fannypack. In my Influences segment [full LPs], I chat about the two-disc compilation "Forever Freestyle" with my friend Jesse Zimmerman, who posted the Spotify playlist here: https://bit.ly/48pnZjD and I countdown my top five. Also, comments on Fastball and Fiona Apple.  In my Breakouts segment [multiple tracks], I talk about The Fifth Dimension and Felicia Day, Ferron, Foo Fighters, the now miscategorized Fleetwood Mac and Foreigner, and the now correctly categorized Falco. I include a brief scrap of conversation with my late father under this heading as well, with a link to his memorial here: https://bit.ly/3EVaMkQ In my Sparks segment [single tracks], I chat about Faithless, Face Vocal Band, Franz Ferdinand, Flock of Seagulls, Florence + The Machine, The Fratellis, Frankie Gaye, Fountains of Wayne, and then I highlight entries from soundtracks, which is how I come to have several artists' singles including multiple entries from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," as well as Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Fifth Dimension, Felicia Day, Fall Out Boy, The Flaming Lips, Fisher and Fannypack.

Ep. 6: Taking Over Me

Ep. 6: Taking Over Me
Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my sixth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Taking Over Me," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter E. In my Title Track, I talk about Evanescence and Amy Lee's haunted, ethereal vocals paired with delicate piano and thrash metal. Specifically I explore their song "Taking Over Me" off the "Fallen" CD and Lee's comments that the song is an exploration of obsession. I also talk about other compilations in my collection including their live LP "Anywhere But Home" and "The Open Door." In Lost Tracks, songs that did not transfer properly from one PC to the next, I added "Llorando" by Escencia, and "Veronica" by Elvis Costello. Then under Influences, artists with entire LPs in my collection, I talk about Enigma and Enya, Eve 6 and Edie Brickell. In my Breakouts segment, bands with multiple tracks in my collection, I talk about Elton John and I want to share a couple of side-by-side comparisons I found on YouTube. First, the side-by-side video for "I'm Still Standing" that appeared in the movie at https://youtu.be/VSKKfDT083o. Then, I found where someone put together "Rocketman" vs. Elton John videos at https://youtu.be/6WLXin59owM -- truly astonishing presentation. Also, comments on Eminem, Earl "Fatha" Hines, EmmyLou Harris, En Vogue, Elvis Costello, the Eurythmics and covers of early Tori Amos releases by E-Clypse. In Sparks, artists with one song in my collection, I chat with my friend John Allen about Ed Sheeran's "Give Me Love," largely on the strength of his having called it "the worst song ever" in a Facebook post a thousand years ago, and me taking the opportunity to broaden my insights into the music in my collection. Other artists I chat about Eric Heatherly, Everlast, Erasure, Elastica, E.G. Daily, Edwyn Collins, Elliot Goldenthal, Eliza Gilkyson and Eileen Barton.

Ep. 5: Listen to What the DJ's Spinning
Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my fifth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Listen to What the DJ's Spinning," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter D. In my Title Track, I sneak my way on topic by a deep cut from Deee-Lite, "ESP" with the line: "Listen to What the DJ's Spinning." I chat with my friend Drew Brady, a DJ in Denver who has produced hours of ambient music, available on Apple Music and Band Camp. I chat with him about his background, his influences and what drives him in his creation. I was even able to share some of his original work, which he shared in a video on his Facebook page. Drew has a performance scheduled at the Wax Trax record shop in Denver in July, and you can check out his other work on his Brother Saturn Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@BrotherSaturn I also mention ambient soundcraft put together by my friend Leonard Mason including GhostLodgeMusic's "Glacier" (1-hour) at https://youtu.be/uOzvjgmkn3Y and GhostLodgeMusic's "Glacier" (12-hour) at https://youtu.be/AE0-5C3Yo4o For Influences, artists with entire LPs in my collection, I talk about Deep Purple's "House of Blue Light," Dorthy Fix "Yourself" with a Dorthy Fix YouTube playlist at https://bit.ly/3M20e6Y and the Abandoned Scout Camp Soundcloud listing with Dorthy Fix tracks at https://bit.ly/3Bo0kAM. While talking about the Dandy Warhols "Come Down," I mention my friend Aunt Arlene's fanvid for the Scissors Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" at https://youtu.be/XBM8-NHcVTs, check that out. Plus, Duran Duran -- I'm looking for helpful suggestions for alternate titles for their "Greatest" LP, send to tjaman1970@yahoo.com -- closing the segment with Dido's "No Angel." In Lost Tracks, I reacquired four songs from Dolly Parton along with the new release from her "Rockstar" LP, "World on Fire." I just bought Duran Duran's "Greatest," The Dandy Warhols "Come Down" and "We Used to Be Friends." I got Hall & Oates "Maneater" and Debbie Gibson's "Foolish Beat." Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man," Duffy's "Mercy," Dixie Cups "Iko Iko" and Dr. Hook's "Cover of the Rolling Stone." Also, Destiny Child's "Bootylicious," and songs by Death Cab for Cutie and the Decemberists. In my Breakouts segment, bands with multiple tracks in my collection, I celebrate the de-groovy and de-gorgeous energies of Deee-Lite, grateful for the sneaky backdoor title track from their "ESP" entry and its ties to Edgar Allen Poe, as well as their "What Is Love" single and of course, "Groove is in the Heart." I get after Dolly Parton some for both-sidesing and vaguebooking her message in "World on Fire," available at https://youtu.be/MLIGxNZeW78. Plus, songs by the Dave Matthews Band, Def Leppard, Dokken and Dio. In Sparks, songs by DISL Automatic -- that work available at DISL Automatic official site: https://getbigonem.com/, Disturbed, Detroit Cobras, Dokken (they fit better to talk about up there but actually go here), Dryadia, Dia Frampton, Dusty Springfield, Donna Summer, Doxology, David Lee Roth, Dullen and Dwayne Johnson.

Ep. 3: I Need To Be Bold
Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my third episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "I Need to Be Bold," I lead with comments on, well, episode 2 -- this project is still a little bit "seat of my pants" and I'm still figuring things out, formatwise. This episode focused on artists in my collection beginning with the letter B. But I do get into my title track commentary soon enough, talking about having taken in a couple of Brenda Weiler concerts in the 1990s and the circumstances around having four album releases worth of material in my music library and three tracks from a fifth. I dig into her lyrics and explore the song "Bold" from her 2000 "Fly Me Back" release, link to that one here: https://youtu.be/zGdxQ475ah0 In Lost Tracks, I talk about welcoming her "Cold Weather" LP back into my collection and wonder aloud about the other eight tracks of her 2007 "End the Rain" release that I seem to be missing. Other additions for this category include Buster Poindexter's "Hot Hot Hot," Bruce Springsteen's "Radio Nowhere," Blues Travelers' "Hook," Billy Joel's "Pressure," Blue October's "Hate Me," Brooke's cover of "Time After Time," the Bangles cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter," Big Red Button's "Let The Old Ways Die," Better Than Ezra's "Desperately Wanting," and Beth Orton's "Anywhere." In Influences, I talk about Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" and "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" in my collection and almost seeing her in concert a long time ago when Tori Amos opened for her in Minneapolis. Then I talked to my friend Marc Bailey about Black Lab, a group who based on his recommendation I purchased their "Greatest Hits" compilation. We also talked about their LP "A Raven Has My Heart," and Black Lab lead singer Paul Durham's 2023 solo LP release "This Sweet Life." Link: https://www.blacklabworld.com Then I interview Minot, N.D., artist Brent Braniff about now three album releases in my music collection, including "So Who Am I Supposed to Impress?" and "Saving the World," his past work with producer Chad Wheeling, and his 2022 solo release "Proof," as well as his plans for upcoming projects. I also include a comment from Brent after my closing, shaping some of his longtime musical philosophy. Brent's work is available to review and purchase on Apple Music. Other influences in my collection include "Time Capsule: Songs for a New Generation" by The B-52s, "Star" by Belly and "A Slow Dance" a DJ friend of mine in Denver named Drew Brady released as Brother Saturn. Also, "Kept the Key to Get His Stuff" by Ben Wilinski, "No Parking" and "Wasteland" by Brakelazy, "On Flame with Rock ‘n Roll" by Blue Oyster Cult, Blind Melon's self-titled release, "Church of Scars" by Bishop Briggs and "Sixteen Stone," "Razorblade Suitcase" and "The Science of Things" by Bush. As well as "Heaven on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle, "All I Want" by Bernadette Moley and "From the Mouth" by The Blenders. My Breakouts section includes "If U Seek Amy" and "I Wanna Go" by Britney Spears, "Bottoms Up" and "Kick It in the Sticks" by Brantley Gilbert, "Livin' on a Prayer," "Keep the Faith," "It's My Life," "We Weren't Born to Follow" and "Have a Nice Day" by Jon Bon Jovi, "French Kiss" and "The Middle" by Bosco Rogers, and an EP titled "Fathers as Robots" by Billy Schuh & The Foundry, now Foundry Field Recordings. And under Sparks I talk about "Radio Nowhere" by Bruce Springsteen, "It's All About Me" by the Bit Players in "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," Baz Luhrman's "Sparkling Diamonds" suite from "Moulin Rouge," Billy Crystal as his Fernando character with "You Look Mahvelous" and Bree Sharp's "David Duchovny." I had Broadcast's "The Book Lovers" and Burt Bacharach's "What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love" from the "Austin Powers" soundtrack, The Black Keys' "I'll Be Your Man" from the "Rescue Me" soundtrack, Bone Thugs n' Harmony's "Look Into My Eyes" from the "Music from and Inspired by Batman and Robin" soundtrack, and I added Bloody Civilian's "Wake Up" feat. Rema, Burna Boy's "Alone" and Blue Rojo's "Inframundo" from the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" soundtrack. Also, Billy Thorpe's "Children of the Sun," I heard that as part of the second season of "Fargo" on FX. I also touch on Bryan Adams' "Run to You," Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues," Breathe Carolina's punk cover of Miley Cyrus' "See You Again," Blu Cantrell's "Hit 'em Up Style" and Blondie's "Rapture." Finally, I want to thank my friend Paul Johnson [his bitingly clever "Luminol (Circumstantial)" is available on Apple Music and Spotify] for introducing me to Bo Burnham's comic original "White Woman's Instagram," which I thought was a fun cultural comment.
