Edie Brickell & New Bohemians: Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars

The Greatest Non Hits

Have you ever found yourself lost in the rhythms of a forgotten tune only to have it transport you back in time? That's the magic we unearth as Tim and I, your hosts, reminisce about Edie Brickell & New Bohemians' seminal album "Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars." Join us for a heartfelt expedition through the origins of this iconic band, as we salute the late Brad Hauser and bypass the hits to spotlight our personal favorite deep cuts. We'll explore the rich tapestry of folk, rock, and pop that catapulted Edie and the gang to stardom, all while Tim's guitar strings echo the soundtrack of our musings.
As the strumming continues, we weave a vibrant discussion that transcends mere music critique and delves into the philosophical and cosmic connections that tie us all together. This episode is an eclectic cocktail of culture, laughter, and introspection, garnished with a twist of whimsy. From comparing music to the unassuming grin of a dog to contemplating our shared stardust heritage, we invite you to ponder the profound and chuckle at the absurd. Be ready to get a glimpse of Edie Brickell's life post-New Bohemians, interspersed with references to the ever-quirky "Zoolander."
Closing out the show, we discuss the yin and yang of musical moods and the importance of variety to cleanse our auditory palates. Whether you've spent your week with the grunge of Pearl Jam or the progressive tunes of Yes, we're here to ease you back with something a little more soothing. Our conversation is a reminder of the rejuvenating power of music and its ability to guide us through the ebb and flow of life's moments. So, as you step into the upcoming week, take a moment to refresh your playlist and your soul with the eclectic sounds we've celebrated today.
