The Projectmill is back with a new episode of “Milling About,†which of course means we’re back with great new music. Download the podcast for free from iTunes, and check below for free downloads of this episode’s featured music, only available here at ENS.
In this episode:
How does one do the Monkey Foot? We don’t know either, but you’re going to want to figure it out for all the great music on this episode.†Don’t blame us if “Bourgeois Shangri-La†by Miss Li causes you to break into a spontaneous dance, musical-style, as you’re walking down the street. And there’s the toe-tapping, head-scratching “Oh! Centra†by Javelin, which might have the most laid back use of a chipmunked voice in the history of music. There’s also a new song from Jonsi, and while it’s a break from his day job the lead singer for Sigur Ros, “Go Do†has the same fantastic, driving sense of wonder found in the Icelandic band’s songs. But first up is the tender “This Sweet Love†from James Yuill, who takes the solo singer-songwriter mold and manages to actually make it interesting.
But what goes on in between the great new tunes? For starters, Ken and Mandy measure Oscar picture nominees on a scale of Lifetime Network awfulness to Hallmark movie tolerability while peanut gallery members Ben and Yusef choke down some past-its-prime Christmas candy. It all makes for plenty of “That’s what she said” moments. Plus, Mandy interviews new city councilwoman/original member of Phoenix Laurie Quinlivan, who gives us the lowdown on why the city didn’t get a hefty grant from the federal government for the Cincinnati streetcar. What businesses and chambers of commerce are behind the plan? Listen to find out. Doesn’t sound like you’ll be able to take the streetcar to Paul Brown Stadium any time soon, hint tint.
Also, there’s sexual tension at a goth bar in Orlando, and awesomely dressed listener Joshua calls the Milling About hotline to get their take. Or maybe he was just drunk dialing.
All that and more in this episode of Milling About! Boom-shocka-locka!
