I think a cool one if it hasn't already been submitted could be the history of covers and how some covers can often improve the original, (i.e Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower.) What are some of your guyses favourite covers?

Jason Dafnis

Both of the artists on this week's episode say these albums come largely from a place of anger (ITANOMTHUD is angry about Black oppression, Around the Fur is angry about relationships and the difficulties of being in a touring band). Is there anything that makes you angry enough to write music about it? What would that music sound like?

last year, numero group released the remastered works (two albums and a few EPs) of late-90s slowcore band Duster, whose music has exploded in popularity within the last decade, due in large part to it being shared on online message boards and spreading beyond. to my surprise, they also recently released the remastered works by Duster which were released under the name Valium Aggelein. previously the only versions of these works i could find were pretty low quality, so this remastered release was an incredible surprise and has been on frequent rotation for me. with whisper-quiet vocals and more drone-y sound, this is somehow even more chilled out and spacey than Duster's mainline discography. the release statement for the remastered collection calls it a "skeletal space nap for the prozac generation" and i doubt there's a more fitting description. Valium Aggelein - Dream Scientist https://open.spotify.com/track/6rQUSevKLH1NAwgb48vI34?si=ElNhchUlRtyMHKt_YegTVA

Hi y'all! So glad to be hearing Matt Helgeson's voice on podcast again, and I can't wait to hear Alex get super nerdy about music!!! Ben Hanson is okay too, I guess :-P Around The Fur is actually one of my favorite "angry drive" albums, with the songs Rickets and Headup being the hardest not to smash the pedal to. It got me thinking, what are some of your favorite songs or albums that are a bad influence on your driving speed?

Howdy MinnTrax Crew! I would like to add the song "Prime Mover" by Rush to the MinnTrax Community Playlist! https://open.spotify.com/track/2SBKGHPQmo65mz9MxV30Fr In addition to that, if it isn’t too off-topic, my question for the show is: What band do you regret missing the chance to see live? To me, it is Rush. I kick myself seemingly every day because I never saw them perform live. Thanks for doing all that you do!

It’s no question that the longer bands are around, the more they’ll inevitably change in one way or another. In your opinion, what band has evolved the most but retained the spirit and feel of who they are as musicians? And in the opposite vein, what band have you continued to follow, but not been a fan of how they have changed in one way or another?

I submitted a question but it appears to have disappeared. Was it deleted?

Hey Traxxers, Frequently I've heard from people that their music appreciation solidifies with age, what are your thoughts on this? For example, I've heard some people often develop and maintain their musical taste from around 13 - 25. Personally, I find I still add new bands or genres into my library despite getting older. Thanks for the music appreciation!

Hey guys, Do streaming services make new music forgettable in a way? I have a hard time listening to new albums for longer than a week when before I bought an album and listened for what it seemed like an entire season. Am I in the minority here or does anyone else feel this way? I'd like the song WAV Files by Lupe Fiasco To get added to the community playlist. A powerful song about the transport of slaves. https://open.spotify.com/track/0BWve9OJvo7ONwfR36Ty6Z?si=HUG0sjeGRhGPbFarwN2MuQ

Mx is probably my favorite song on the album. I find Annalynn's vocal helped make the track memorable to me. Do you enjoy when artists add additional vocals to a track or does it take away from the experience of the band you are listening to?

Steven Vella

What are your favourite albums or tracks discovered from a TV show or movie? I discovered Khruangbin from the end credits of an episode of Barry on HBO. They're a psychedelic rock/jazz band, mostly instrumental. Con Todo el Mundo has quickly become one of my favourite albums to listen to when I'm stressed and need to chill out.

Jason Wojnar

Hey folks, what's the single craziest thing you've ever seen at a live concert? My friend played in a band called Jugger-nut that is fronted by an old coney-island freak show performer. When I saw them, the singer put a nail into his urethra and hammered it in. To top it off, this was all at my friend's wedding reception. Since one of the albums is a classic hip-hop record, I figured I'd recommend one of my favorite rap songs, "The Greatest Show On Earth" by Aceyalone. Not only is he an incredible rapper, but this song is in 6/8, a time signature you rarely every see people rap over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGaQBoxzq5c

What is your Favorite song that came out during or inspired the quarantine? Mine is Twenty One Pilot’s Level of Concern.

This is a super random question, but I am curious to hear why Matt chose Bob Dylan’s “Went to see the Gypsy” as his “farewell” song to be played over his last episode of the GI show.
