Episode 117: The Routers

the Millennial Throwback Machine

Today's episode is just one and not split into two parts because i will be taking next week off for my Bday and will come back the week after for my interview episode with someone around my age who will ask me hopefully some interesting questions about 60's music and hopefully that will be good. in the meantime enjoy this really cool episode on a genre of music you don't really hear too much of anymore unfortunately but it was a VERY popular genre of music in the 60's, and today is all about the history behind this song and interestingly enough, I don't break down the song's lyrics because the song doesn't really have any lyrics. yes, it's an instrumental song, so I talk about what makes this song so cool musically then I immediately get into the history behind it. this includes where it was recorded, who were the musicians on the track and the history behind the song's original demo as well. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uiUfKG0mrY You can also follow me and reach out to me on Instagram right here: https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/ You can also check out more of my original music right here: https://www.samwilliamsmusic.net Please as per usual check out the official Spotify and Youtube playlists for my podcast, there you'll be able to find all of the songs I have talked about on my show so far and listening to this playlist gives you any ideas for the kind of songs I should talk about next on my podcast, please email those ideas to me at [e-mail] or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=Z7yOhyPpSFW5iUBP8SSTVQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7Nf Please do also check out the official Redbubble Merch Store for this podcast. there you'll be able to find this super cool logo that I personally came up with the idea for but I didn't design, attached to all of these really cool merch items that are all priced accordingly to each item. if you love the logo and decide to purchase something from this store, please email me at [e-mail] or you can also reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies: https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-owner If you liked my analysis on this week's song or recognized it from being at a sports game and you were like "Oooh! so that is where that chant comes from!" and you found that fascinating and your a millennial and your around my age, you can email me at [e-mail] or you can reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies. also, don't forget if you want to hear snippets of my new original music that isn't out yet, I will be going live on instagram at 2pm American Pacific time to share with you guys some snippets of my new original music that will come out next year. please join me then and I"ll see you the week after next week.
