ep 006: i only have ice

we're back with another edition of hit disciples where we analyze the 1959 flamingos hit "only have eyes for you." it's a dope song. and we have fun. compare and contrast it to last week's "what becomes" and theorize what chord "YOU" is. taking a break from depressing discussions of classical music, but don't worry. those will be back soon. for now enjoy! link to our messy stupid analysis scribbled on some random paper: https://imgur.com/4egGyrz

ep 008: opposite day

we have a nice discussion on opposite day about if genres are changing. and what they used to be. and what they are now. and what they are becoming. and the death of rock coinciding with the rise of hip hop and that that's not nothing. hit disciples back soon.

ep 009: we don't speak spanish

hit disciples is back with a club banger from the buena vista social club presents ibrahim ferrer. it's called bruca manigua and it's the first non-english song we've done. it's also the first one where we objectively suck at understanding what's happening and struggle a lot. so enjoy listening to us sound dumb. skip to about 1:09:45 to get past the part where we suck at hearing music. pics of our analysis: https://www.instagram.com/deadheirrecords/ follow, subscribe, like, comment, stay tough xoxo

ep 010: a few pointers

i hope ya'll like the 80s. hit disciples is back and we talk about the pointer sister's song "automatic." 1983 hit that revels in the joy of giving up caring about important things so that you can become a capitalist party robot. we all should be so lucky. pics of our analysis can be found on our ig: https://www.instagram.com/deadheirrecords/

ep 011: bored the platform

it's opposite day again and we switched table sides once more to talk about the music bidness. we come at from the angle of "what is a platform" for music in this day and age and why most of them suck. then we tell you want we want you as bad as uncle sam wants young american men. join us, send us your tracks, and talk to us. we want your opinions and your music real bad. happy thursday. new hit disciple next week. xoxo deadheirrecords
