Barry and Abigail discuss Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians and sample Cherry Limeade, Peach Kill All The Golfers, and Yacht Rock from B. Nektar Meadery in Ferndale, Michigan.
Cherries are, in fact, both deciduous fruits and stonefruits.
Edie Brickell and Steve Martin released a bluegrass album together in 2013, Love Has Come For You.
The “flanged” guitar in the breakdown of What I Am reminded Abigail of Peter Frampton speaking through his guitar in Do You Feel Like We Do - Live.
Abigail learned all about Edie Sedgwick and Little Miss S. from this article!
Air of December reminded Abigail loosely of a poetic form called a sestina.
Abigail entered The Wheel into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to I Fought the Law by The Clash. Abigail also wanted to remind everyone that the concept of the multiverse was first proposed by Hugh Everett III, the father of E of Eels. Listen to our episode on Eels: Owlectro-Shock Brews (Eels and Dangerous Minds Brewing Co.) or read this great biography of Hugh Everett III.
Abigail compared the mystery percussion in Love Like We Do to the percussion in This Means War by Marianas Trench.
Content-wise, Abigail compared Circle to THE GREATEST by Billie Eilish. Barry thought it was more similar to Transit Town by Harborcoat.
She prompted Abigail to educate Barry about the concept of the manic pixie dream girl. Lyrically, it reminded Barry of Mean girls by Charli xcx.
The “fact” we learned in Carlo’s Corner has been partially debunked. If you’re interested, you can learn more about Niels Bohr, Carlsberg, or Jarlsberg.
Barry took an opportunity to plug our friend Kevin Richberg’s Slate Fill Edible Forest.
Nothing reminded Abigail of the Greek myth of Odysseus and Polyphemus. Barry brought up the hypothesis that fossilized dwarf elephant skulls may have inspired myths of Cyclopes. (And dinosaur bones dragons! And rhinos unicorns! And manatees mermaids!)
Abigail then entered Nothing into the A.H.S.O.S.S.A.M. with a comparison to Crazy Love, Vol. II by Paul Simon.
Listen to our resequenced playlist of this album, which we have called Retooling Rubberbands at the Stars.
