Podcast: In the Distance, Oblivious

 

Frequent Obliviites know that we sometimes take our show on the road to record in odd places like beach motel rooms or state park campgrounds. This month we carried our laptops, mascots and various sounds effects up to the roof of the OML Studios for our July episode. So listen up as we bring you you eleven great songs, plus bonus sirens, traffic, train horns, jet flyovers, and other general city sounds! We always try and keep it entertaining for you, and remember, “this is not a professional podcast”.

June brings you another one of our themed playlists! Even in our regular playlists, we love finding more obscure and under-the-radar music, so all the artists we’re featuring this month had to be under 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify (and never featured in our playlist before). We think we found you some good ones that you’ve (hopefully) never heard before? Let us know what you think!

April’s playlist brings us a few returning artists, a few brand new artists, as well as some people who have should have been in our playlist a lot who we’ve overlooked over the years. What do you think?

The songs that Al submitted this month had a theme. Phoebe’s songs largely (and unwittingly) fell into the same theme. And the eleven songs that ended up in the playlist this month are very much about… ambition. What do you think?

Long-time listeners know that every eleven months, we get together for a very special Greatest Hits playlist, featuring our favorite songs from the previous months. It’s one of the highlights of our year, and we hope you enjoy these great songs we’re bringing back for you!

As Phoebe likes to point out, February is the Month of LOOOOOOVE, and we love the music we found for you this month. Join us for our usual mix of dark acoustic, some folk, some rock and roll, and lots of quirky fun.

This month, both Al and Phoebe might have ended up liking each other’s songs maybe more than their own. Here’s November’s version of our playlist, with some obscure tunes and whatever else we’ve been listing to in the last month.

A lot of older songs this month means a lot fewer videos for you to see, but we’ve got another great mix of songs, a few you might’ve heard before, but a lot of pretty obscure ones too. That’s sort of what we like best.
