Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 177 – Copyright or Copywrong?
In this fun-filled episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, we start off the discussion with a trip to the grocery store. Eloy set out to buy a bottle of vegetable oil. Seems simple enough, right? How could this start any controversy? Let’s just say that pricing was an issue – and not in the way that you’re probably thinking. Totally switching gears, Mark Lindsay introduces a topic that was inspired by a recent YouTube video he watched (go figure, right?) The video featured a gentleman who plays classical music pieces on piano, and the score to that music is displayed on the screen as he plays it. As an April…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 166 – Left Ear Meet Right Ear
In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay discuss the exploitation of stereo when it comes to producing and engineering music. Long gone are the days of sonic exploration via stereo. Certain aspects such as panning are still used, but the fine art of “playing with the mix” to produce sonic psychedelia have been relegated to the status of “relics of the past.” Do you agree with that assessment? Next, what’s in a band’s name? Can a name make or break a band’s image? Can the choice of a name spell success or failure for a group of artists? We share our opinion, and let…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 164 – It’s All About Style
In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay open with a couple of series Eloy has been enjoying on Netflix, one of which being Cobra Kai. In this series, based on the Karate Kid movies of the 80s, the perspective is changed from that of the good guy to that of the perceived villain. In the re-imagined series, we see the villain of the movies wasn’t actually a villain at all. This brings up the topic of producers, directors, and performers taking characters we hold dear, and re-imagining them, sometimes changing genre, other times just changing the perception of those characters from a different point…

Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 143 – Music From The Mud
In 1974, Ronnie Van Zant sang. “Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers. And they’ve been known to pick a song or two,” in the song Sweet Home Alabama. What the heck did he mean by that? In Episode 143 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Mark Lindsay shares facts about a very well made documentary titled Muscle Shoals that explains it.

How did it happen? Why that time…

In Episode 137 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Flat Earthers. Do they really believe their theories? Are they just trying to keep an argument alive? Are they just doing it for the lulz? Or are they just after attention? Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay delve into it. A brief discussion of the Placebo Effect follows, which leaves folks scratching their heads. The hosts get into a discussion about the absurdity of taking a little bit of information, and running to the extreme with it, not even knowing why, and use Pineapples as the example. (Hint: Pineapples aren’t just for breakfast anymore…) Finally, Eloy asks Mark to name a song, a…
