We Own This Town

The White Lily – Cream

Michael Eades | Posted Wed July 18, 2018

This collaborative album from The White Lily and Atlanta artist Where They Sleep is a mere four tracks; each delicately executed, resulting in a dreamy, swirling atmosphere. The lead track, “Half Lite”, was featured on Volume 112 of our WOTT Music podcast but the entire EP is worth immersing yourself in.

The cover art features a sketched woman in repose, eyes closed with a book at her side. This image sets the tone for the entire EP – dreamy and wistful. The songs within reflect that tone, often feeling like the accompaniment to a Studio Ghibli montage where the viewer is whisked away to some far-off, otherworldly, place.

Regardless of the emotional response, it’s a successful collaboration between two (and sometimes three) artists that is frustratingly short. Hopefully there’s more where this came from.

Western Medication – “Taste” (Official Video)

Michael Eades | Posted Mon July 16, 2018

The folks over at New Noise Magazine premiered the latest video from Western Medication for the song “Taste” – the titular track off their new album, Taste.

The video itself does a great job of capturing the upbeat spirit of the song as it shifts from bonkers party video, to performance video, to smooshy face singing, to illustrated explosions and back. Seriously, it does all those things over and over again; which is delightfully satisfying.

Much like the “Devils Sing” video, there’s a decidedly “90’s” tone to it but only in that it feels like it was made with the distinct purpose of showcasing a good time.

Volume 112

Michael Eades | Posted Mon July 16, 2018 from WOTT Music

If there were more distinct episode titles for this show this one would be called “The Lonely Biscuits Apology” – as I learn a hearty lesson about judging a band too harshly simply by having an opinion on their name and not their actual music. Aside from that massive bit of egg-on-face that happens about midway through the episode, there’s a good half hour of new music, collaborations and unique output from our fair city here.

fan/fiction Season 1.5

Michael Eades | Posted Fri July 13, 2018

Happy Friday! Today we announce the release of Season 1.5 of fan/fiction with Andrew/Zach, our podcast that explores the world of creativity through the lens of fan/fic.

What’s a half a season? Well, it’s both an opportunity to follow up on subjects and ideas from the first season and a chance to release a few nuggets of entertainment that might not fit into a proper collection of shows. So, herein, we have five new episodes that cover a good amount of ground. From a deep dive revisitation on My Little Pony and Puffs: The Play to One Off stories (think of the neglected Mr. Holland’s Opus fan/fic) to The Pilot Episode and bits that hit the Cutting Room Floor; Season 1.5 has a lot to indulge in.

As with Season 1, the entire body of shows is being released at one time so if you feel like binge listening, you can. Here’s Episode 8, the My Little Pony deep dive, to get you going.

Thanks for listening and if you have any topics you want to hear covered in Season 2, get in touch.

S1E12: Cutting Room Floor

Michael Eades | Posted Fri July 13, 2018 from fan/fiction w/ andrew/zach

Season 1.5
Fan/Fiction returns with a bonus half season of follow-up episodes. Season 1.5 revisits some intriguing topics, takes some deeper dives into subjects from Season 1 and lets Zach/Andrew get a few oddities out the door like the show Pilot and previously cut banter.

This one is like the deleted scenes section of a dvd. These are fun, silly, and often humiliating snippets from the podcast that have been cut. Now they have been stitched together and brought back to life! If Frankenstein is your favorite monster, this is the episode for you!
