The Casual Sound

Are you ready for a mega episode? We’re serving up 92 minutes of pure audio joy. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn… you’ll probably say, “On with it, guys. Would you just shut up and play some tunes?” Local businesses we mentioned in the episode are below. This episode is NSFW. Do not judge these fine business owners by our ridiculousness. But, please, follow them and transact with them. Source

It’s been 7 months since we did an episode and even that was just a recording of some live sets from Casual Friday. Well, we’re back at it – at least for this week. If you’re in Denver, come to Casual Friday this Friday April 25 at Skylark Lounge (no cover) Then, we’re opening for Stereo MC’s on May 11 at the O. Get your tix. PLAYLIST… Source

The day podcast session started with the ritual of scratch hashbrowns, now featuring bell peppers and onions, eggs Sunnyside up, and a slice of the holy ghost. “Football” on the “Telly” and whackin’ on some of the finest tunes you’ve ever heard – in. your. life.

Could it be that not only did Lenny, Tyler, and Greg record an episode, but it’s actually not getting tossed. I know – unheard of… or more literally, heard of. The music on this episode: Sublime. The banter: On Par with Expectations. You: In love with the experience of it all. PLAYLIST... Source

Usually, only paid subscribers get the bonus episodes – but seeing as we don’t have any paid subscribers, we don’t usually produce bonus episodes. This one was done last week while Tyler we in New Orleans – visiting bars and picking up COVID from the local merchants. Jake references spinning records this Friday, which was last Friday which didn’t happen cos… Tyler got the ‘rona. We’ll reschedule I... Source

This episode is meta as fuck and it’s about football – and not the American type. Does Lenny support Man United or Man City? Only way to know for sure is to listen to this episode.
