Join Courtney and Shane as they peel back the layers of reality and dive deep down into “Going Up”, the first song on the first album from, you guessed it, Echo & the Bunnymen. An interrogation of Ian’s lyrics leads to investigations into quantum physics, the etymology of the words “ain’t” and “thou”, the Truman Show, William Blake, Dr. Who, life, the universe, and everything. They discuss the influence of the band Love and Probe Records, the epicenter of Liverpool’s musical zeitgeist. (Thank you Hitoma Drone and Andrew Male!) And they learn about Cosmic Scouse. Finally, Shane offers a musical/harmonic/theoretical analysis of the guitar and bass parts. Let’s get the hell outta here!

Episode 24 - Letters and Labels
In our first episode of the post-COVID world, we dive into some listener letters about language and the atlas adventures. Then the episode devolves as Courtney begrudgingly delves into one of the many topics she loathes to consider: record labels and the music biz. Fear not, though, Shane maintains a sunny disposition about the subject at hand and the duo pull through. Courtney manages to describe the riveting missed connection between Tony Wilson and Roger Eagle as they have a near miss at collaborating on a split-label record release, and Shane teases at the emerging shared destiny between Bill Drummond and the Bunnymen, while unwittingly becoming a fan of OMD and the Durutti Column in the process. Sorry for the delay in release. Things have turned upside down since the troubles began. We hope to make up for our tardiness with duration and depth of analysis.
