About this listen
We trade tea, jazz, and arcade nostalgia for a deep dive into “Highwayman,” breaking down guitar lines, phrasing, and why the 80s video refuses to go to space. Simple games, simple songs, and how restraint can feel wide open.
• what our show sounds like and why it’s equal parts music and nonsense
• Stuff the band, Julian Lage, Grover Washington Jr, and Parcels as the week’s soundtrack
• Jimmy Buffett’s Fruitcakes and why ballads stick
• Shredder’s Revenge mechanics, characters, and couch co-op chaos
• Harry Connick Jr’s rhythm trick and audience psychology
• Highwaymen context, Jimmy Webb’s writing, Glenn Campbell’s version
• guitar tones, B minor to D lift, and tasteful fills over flash
• the infamous 1985 video choices and verse-by-verse imagery
• dream covers, supergroups, and the power of minimalism
