DIAL #DAN

aka Pleasure Systems comes on the pod to discuss: his new album, an AI musician ripping off his song two days before it's release, madonna's new singles, the movie Michael, the trailer for Whalefall with josh brolin, the Tony awards, talking to celebs and not knowing who they are, getting too close with the owner of the liquor store, fire island in the winter, forgetting your bodega guys names for eight consecutive years, and so much more!
LEAVE IT IN THE SAND <--- stream

the origin of Bandsplain podcast and it's theme song, our first concerts, ballet classes, Criminal Minds, extensive Taco Bell tea, the classic NY vs LA conversation, Mother Mary review, charli xcx's 'rock music' comes up over and over again, but mostly chummy minutia that warms the heart and soul; real heads will absolutely ascend <3

the glorious nature of spring in upstate new york, being heartbroken by the discovery that the insta reel/tiktok sound byte "oh no no no" was a shangri la's song, live reviewing the aerosmith cover of said song, pitting two women (charli xcx and slayyyter) against each other, finding office furniture at a new jersey habitat for humanity ReStore, bourbon chicken at the palisades center mall, shopping for shorts, atrocious lighting at the independent book store, exploring the "Local" tab on upstate new york tiktok, and so much more <3

Buying kitchen gadgets (Le Creuset non stick skillet and Kitchenaid Japanese steel knife set full review), visiting Sarah Lawrence college for the Naomi Fry reading and randomly meeting an A Lister along the way, the Bargain Barn in Sharon Connecticut moving, trying to outsmart Wegman's frozen lasagna and Trader Joe's butter chicken with my new air fryer/toaster oven combo and failing miserably, an overall abundance of neighborhood and general Upstate minutiae while I beg the ultimate question- am I living in the shadow of myself???
