Episode 99 - 2025-06-23

How can a non-musician discuss the future of music from anything other than a consumer point of view?

These people make decisions for the bulk of us without consulting any of us Sales and distributions of our futures If this world were fair and right, they'd give up the car keys this very night Hello everybody, it's Sats and Sounds You're listening to episode number 99 For June 23rd, 2025 We're on that count up to 100 That comes next week We're live again by the way Hello to the few remaining people on the stream, thanks for being there

So on this count up to 100, these last couple of shows here, we are going to just Cover some of the bands that have been my favorites Either bands or tracks that have been my favorites For the last couple of years that I've been doing this We're going to start out with one of the more mainstream bands That definitely was probably the band I listened to most Since doing this

And that is The Retrograde And this is the first track off their album, That's the Spirit Called "I Need a Little" I make the music in my head that makes you wanna tap your shoe I paint the feelings in my shed 4780 cobalt blue Ooh my love I'm thinking of the things we used to do Ooh my love oh my heart I guess that's over too one time I need a little I need to get up Something over nothing keeps me by your side I need a little I need to get up Try to race for so much you can never hide

Till you tell me that you want it Always thinking of it never leaving it behind I need a little I need to get up Never mind I need a little I need to get up In prison now for choosing you never wanted the apology And now I don't know what to do when you tell me I'm the one to blame Ooh my love I'm thinking of the things we used to do Ooh my love oh my heart I guess that's over too one time I need a little I need to get up Something over nothing keeps me by your side

I need a little I need to get up Try to race for so much you can never hide Till you tell me that you want it Always thinking of it never leaving it behind I need a little I need to get up Never mind Till you take it back to say That we'll never find a way No, no I won't take all the blame 'Cause because I need a little I need to get up Something over nothing keeps me by your side I need a little I need to get up Try to race for so much you can never hide Till you tell me that you want it

Always thinking of it never leaving it behind I need a little I need to get up Never mind [Instrumental]

[Music]

This obviously is going to be Longy and it's one of the first songs I've played by him it's called "Trust in Life" [Music] You got to trust in life when you're on the floor You got to trust in life you'll never sell all You got to trust in life when you're on the floor Let the mind body flow with the feeling [Music] You got an answer to every fear But when the feeling comes to digging in You quit the first time you come up against Why you not thinking confidence

I am the answer, the fire, the source of all Nature, but I need your answer for the truth is just a joke I am the apple, trust me though the power of this hour Is it too far too much to move our heart away You got to trust in life when you're on the floor You got to trust in life you'll never sell all You got to trust in life when you're on the floor Let the mind body flow with the feeling [Music] You got to trust in life when you're on the floor You got to trust in life you'll never sell all

You got to trust in life when you're on the floor Let the mind body flow with the feeling You got to trust in life when you're on the floor You got to trust in life you'll never sell all You got to trust in life when you're on the floor Let the mind body flow with the feeling [Music] Man that dude can rock, that's Longy and Trust in Life

Another person I've played a lot of songs from Is Nate Jonavan or Nate Jonavan Projects This is Monkey Robot War and Parrots [Music] I brought you up to my doctor She tried to silence you with pills But I can still hear you whisper You say it's the diagnosis that's making you ill You said fight me like a man Draw your stupid lines in the sand [Music] You said the closest to Paris That I'll ever meet Is a plaster on my wrist from these stupid figurines You said the closest to Paris

That I'll ever meet Is a plaster on my wrist from these stupid figurines You said it just to be mean You said it just to be mean [Music] You've been there since I remember Since the first I heard the word no You grew into an albatross of velvet ropes Tell me when and where to go [Music] You said the closest to Paris That I'll ever meet Is a plaster on my wrist from these stupid figurines You said the closest to Paris That I'll ever meet Is a plaster on my wrist from these stupid figurines

[Music]

You told me that I'm never alone What about you? [Music]

Without me you'd be a fake man in degradation A river bed made of limestone [Music] Fight me like a man Fight me like a man Winner gets control The man's conflicted soul Fight me like a man Winner gets control The man's conflicted soul You can fight me like a man You said the closest to Paris That I'll ever meet Is a plaster on my wrist from these stupid figurines You said the closest to Paris That I'll ever meet Is a plaster on my wrist from these stupid figurines You said it just to be me

You said it just to be me You said it just to be me [Music] Well, I got another one coming up from Nate Jonavan right after this break. You're listening to Sats and Sounds. This is a value for value music podcast. And that means you need a Modern Podcast app to participate.

So you go on out to modernpodcastapps.com. Go pick one out for yourself or you can go to my website SatsandSounds.com and get one from there. I've got links to Castamatic Fountain Podcast Guru, Podverse, CurioCaster, and TrueFans. And what you do is you load up the wallets in there and you can stream Bitcoin micro-payments as you listen. Each band, while they're playing, has a separate wallet.

And so whatever you're streaming to them, whatever you're streaming at that time, 95% of this podcast goes to the artist. You can also do something called sending a boost, which is you hit a boost button in the app and you can send some extra Sats for something maybe you like in particular. Or you can include a message, and that's called Boost-A-Gram. And we'll get to some boosts right now. I got 222 Sats from the New Music Nudge Unit via Fountain. During River People by The 54 Plates, they say,

"High five River People on Sats and Sounds. Turn it up!" 210 Sats from Beer via Podverse during Another Breakup Song by Alicia Stockman, no note. 5,000 Sats from Holy Smokes from Head Starts via Fountain during the song "High Gravity" live at the Pickle Pickle by Joe Martin, he says, or he or she says, I shouldn't assume, Joe Martin showing us the way. And 2,000 Sats from the one and only Rock and Roll Break Heart via Podverse, with no note.

So we will be getting to at least one track that's a freshly rendered bit from this past week. That's going to be from Two Weeks in Nashville. But, at first, but first, a podcast can never be completed without me screwing it up.

So as I promised, next up is Nate Jonovin, another song called, not another song, this song is called, "It Can Be Erased."

I won't be the reason that you slow down I can't be there though when you're spinning out Don't worry about anything Nothing is planned, if it's written it can be erased I'll take care of all of it You'll be remembered as the saving grace I am, if you are, I could be done I am, if you are, I could be done You ever feel the bass through the wall when you're downtown You can't resist trying to hit, it's a gravitational sound Don't worry about anything

Nothing is planned, if it's written it can be erased You'll take care of all of it You'll be remembered as the saving grace I am, if you are, I could be done I am, if you are, I could be done I am, if you are, I could be done I am, if you are, I could be done The lady's chosen, it's a long walk home Can't take her with you, but you'll never be alone

Now we've got Herbivore It's a fun track for me I don't know why it's a fun track for me, but I find this a fun track It's called "Anne Cecilia" Can't you see my love for you, Anne Cecilia Because I thought by now that I made it quite clear And all I'd ever need is to be near you And hold you every single day of the year So open up your mind and flow into me 'Cause you can tell me what you think and how you feel And when you're down I'll be around to pick you up

And take you out into town to show you how my love is real Just call me, you'll pull out a few white homies And if I can call you my girl, I hope it's just a phase You're the only one for me, Anne Cecilia But that just didn't happen overnight Maybe it was that gaze that saw right through me On the way you moved your feet by firelight Well I stumbled to that cabin just to see you And to tell you what I think and how I feel But in my drunken state of mind I forgot the words to every line

That I rehearsed a thousand times and haunts me still Just call me, you'll pull out a few white homies And if I can call you my girl, I hope it's just a phase I want you to come a little closer Because I miss you baby I want you to come a little closer But don't you miss me baby I want you to come a little closer Because I miss you baby I want you to come a little closer But don't you miss me baby I want you to come a little closer

I think it's fitting that the freshly rendered bits are coming from another band that I played quite a bit This is Two Weeks in Nashville This song is called You and Me I think it's fitting that the freshly rendered bits are coming from another band that I played quite a bit

This is Two Weeks in Nashville This song is called You and Me I got you, you got me What we will be, don't you see I can't breathe, picture the scene When one becomes two, you're living the dream I love my lessons on the way home Now I'm up and sitting on the edge now I've been up all night, gone up late And you've been on my mind, can't escape it 'Cause I know you You've had my love since 22 And I won't go Falling in love, falling in love with you Falling in love with you

Not gonna swim far from this island Change my name and go into hiding Not gonna swim far from this island Change my name and go into hiding 'Cause I know you You've had my love since 22 And I won't go Falling in love, falling in love with you You've had my love since 22 And I won't go Falling in love with you Alright, heading into the final block

Alright, now this next artist Is somebody who I think puts out some He's got one of the most unique voices and sounds out there in the value verse But he doesn't put out enough stuff So I don't know where he is or what he's doing, but I wish he would put out more songs I am of course talking about

Just Loud This is his song, Prisoner to Love Forever I'm on the run Meet Jehovah from hell Gypsy blood to the rain Since the age of twelve Nympho for the yard Mighty God Na na For cigarettes and cocaine Baby they dancing for you Don't you be nervous boy They may not stir for you You better play it cool Ecstasy for my transition Portal to black hole Would you unlock my body Unlock my soul Prisoner to love I be in and out, in and out of love Prisoner to love Prisoner to love

Alright, last track of the day is from Lumba I've played her many times This track is called "Sailavi" [guitar] I take and give but not completely Don't make the same mistakes that led them here I bleed but don't you die You're only fifteen Swing and keep your aim very high Kiss and touch but don't cross the line And if she turns you down, well, you just turn around And bury the angry baby in the ground But you drip yourself as you run from the gallows

And you bruise your heart and suppress the lovers' quarrels Just another broken soul in a cliché narrative Yet you get yourself thinking you could outrun the shadows Take a lip of faith, it's only science Past mistakes I don't define as now So you'll swing 'til I list every sin And call you by my father's secret name Swig and swish the bottle doesn't understand And the rest of the world, well, they can judge us now Fourteen years by the goddess, do they know me now?

But you drip yourself as you run from the gallows And you bruise your heart and suppress the lovers' quarrels Just another broken soul in a cliché narrative Yet you get yourself thinking you could outrun the shadows It's too late now, it's how we're programmed And I'd give you all my heart but it's almost numb I know you alone, you were cold even when we're close Some of you, what did you think when I said we won't always be happy But you drip yourself as you run from the gallows

And you bruise your heart and suppress the lovers' quarrels Just another broken soul in a cliché narrative Yet you get yourself thinking you could outrun the shadows Some of you, what did you think when I said we won't always be happy And that is Show 99
