Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 173 – Every Sense of the Word
In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast Mark Lindsay is encouraged about the direction of music formats after a trip to his local big box retailer. The sudden appearance of some so-called “obsolete” goods were prominently displayed, which put a surprising amount of spring in his step for the rest of the day. This morphed into a discussion with Eloy Escagedo of our 5 senses, and everything we take for granted until they’re lost. There’s a lot to digest in this discussion, but we think you’ll find it palatable. There are a lot of digressions, segues, philosophical points, and just general rambling in this episode of the Trampled Underfoot…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 130 – From Here to Timbuktu
In Episode 130 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast; If you take a trip from here to Timbuktu, what do you do to prepare?

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 126 – This Messy Thing We Call Existence
In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Mark Lindsay says; “We get one ride, we might as well have some fun with it.” We start our conversation about how we deal with life from our vantage point.

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 125 – A Stoic Place For My Stuff
In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Mark comes from out of left field with a topic that kind of throws Eloy off his stride. The topic is people who are well known for one thing, but are virtuoso level good at something else that’s unrelated. What surprises Eloy is Mark’s comments are almost exactly the topic he wanted to discuss. We talk about our friend Sterling Davis’s short comedy videos, our friend Daniel Harju’s amazing skills at woodworking, Stoic philosophy, Marcus Aurelius, collecting a ton of CRAP (Collectibles, Rare And Precious) over the years, and awesome quotes. All of this, plus a lot more in this fun episode…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 105 – Tale of Two Cities
Episode 105 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast is a trip back to the podcast’s roots. Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay have always been fans of music. But how was it that these rock stars started out as seemingly ordinary people, then became so amazing at their craft? And what was up with the 60s trend of the music industry releasing singles that weren’t on the newly released album they were promoting at the time? The discussion winds its way around to the injection of Hip-Hop into Rock and Roll. How does this trend compare to to the infusion of Disco and Rock back in the 70s? Is the blurring of…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 99 – 99 Ways From Sunday
In Episode 99 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay talk about the mental images that pop into your mind when you hear a group or musician’s music. Love them or hate them, performers like Mick Jagger, MC Hammer, Milli Vanilli, or Mark Knopfler make you think of certain scenes or pictures, and in some cases the images are not good! Then the duo get into the behind-the-scenes drama that a lot of groups go through. Some of that drama breaks up the group, and some of it makes them write some of their best music. Why is that the case? The pair discuss it. We record…
