Episode 46: Lenny USM – 50 Something

The Casual Sound Podcast

Sure, it’s our 46th but it’s Lenny’s 50th. Our co-host misses his 3rd show – but he’s got a good excuse – he had one of those bigger birthdays that everyone’s having. So, Jake and Tyler put together a playlist just for him. Maybe you too. Also, Tyler blew it in the first break – just blew it. The referenced podcast is called We Will Rank You – not We Will Rate You – Some fan he is. Also, the song is called “The Man Don’t Give A Fuck” – not The Man Doesn’t Give A Fuck. We here at The Casual Sound apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Episode 43: Details Emerge

The Casual Sound Podcast

A little something new bringing us into episode 43. In fact, you’ll probably find some new loves that are recent releases and those that we’re blowing the dust off of. This is all before we dive into a discussion around the exhausting and constantly relevant question about separating the artist from their art. I’ve gotta say, we present a lot of old information about old songs that I think we news to all of us. We don’t research our shows often… maybe we should. It’s more interesting.
