About this episode

The episode discusses Andrew Bird's album 'The Mysterious Production of Eggs' and the concept of world building in music.

HWSC & Logues return for Episode 5 and we're singing the praises of Andrew Bird. This one is about world building. As in, building the world you want to see from the sound that's inside your head... Whatever that looks like for you. Andrew Bird knew what he was doing when he took some time off the gypsy jazz and went back to Galena, IL to hammer out the unique sounds that would become the Mysterious Production of Eggs. An album that literally sounds you've been swept away to some sort of dream world with weird weather systems and noble beasts.   Listen to us on Fountain.fm and holler at us on Wisp (or your nostr client of choice). If you can't do that, email us at hotwaxclub@proton.me .   Find the Companion to this episode on nostr and on https://hotwax.club (where we have also added some new easter eggs like the Club Constitution) We forgot to announce on this episode, but Radiohead is next (spoiler). Someone recently asked for a special episode on Jay Reatard dedicated to the plebs. Was it you? We casually threw out some albums we might do this year, but we're relaxing. We're freeestyling, dawg. You can find the list in older episode descriptions, but it's no…
