About this listen

The Velvet Hammer Episode 17: Our wildest episode yet! You’ll want to stay to the end for this one! As Argentinian Labor Day passes, we mourn the end of summer and the gorgeous weather while celebrating a hopeful end to the mosquitos. Covering a bit of word news, we have apple orchards being chopped down by Heineken and some angry environmentalists. Then the shock of Tesla’s supercharger team being fired in one fell swoop – what did they do wrong? We share some tornado stories as twister season befalls the US before launching into our deeper discussion of music. Does vinyl sound better than cd? Tom helps explain the difference. From there a quick segue to suburban nightlife rowdiness in California and anecdotes about Firestone tires. With eggnog season approaching, we ask about the difference between brown liquors and Tom helps us clarify what they are; which leads to a complete loss of control as we share yet more lively anecdotes that leave us stitched sideways with laughter at the close.


Coming every Thursday, this is The Velvet Hammer with your hosts, Jonny, Tom, & Tadeo, three American expats recording from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Brought to you by One Eleven Entertainment.
