Episode 24: Tyler Clicks “Stream Now”

The first ever live broadcast of the Casual Sound on Twitch. Thanks to the 327 people who watched someone else’s twitch channel and the 9 who watched ours. Be sure to follow Tyler on Twitch because we’ll do this again (with Jake and Lenny)

Episode 22: The Jake Ryan’s Shelter In Place Playlist

Episode 21 – The End of a Decade

The Casual Sound Weekly Indie Music Podcast Logo

There’s no commentary on this episode, so you’ll just have to imagine Tyler at the wheel, Jake riding shotgun, and Lenny in the back, traveling up to the casino town of Central City, Colorado, listening to this playlist that we all contributed to. It begins with Northside’s “A Change Is On Its Way”, as both a tribute to their recently passed guitarist Tim Walsh and also for the lines “It tastes like heaven and it feels so nice / to roll that 7 on the lucky dice.” This was a craps trip after all – and one that was quite successful. Enjoy this episode of The Casual Sound – one that ends the decade. We’ll see you in 2020… I’m sure of it.

In this episode, Tyler says something that just pissed Jake Ryan right off. But you’ll never know what it was cos his anger occurred off air – and it wasn’t really anger – more like just a general disgust in humanity. It didn’t help that the irons had just a draw.
