Support the Official Release You can listen to Band of Horses' Infinite Arms on: Apple Music Spotify Or purchase Infinite Arms on: Amazon Music Links Marvis Pro, the iOS music player Michael mentioned using to see his play counts. Vacationer's Relief, the only album that came close to Infinite Arms's play count number in Michael's library. You can read Michael's previous review on the record here. Michael mentioned having a Fracture print of Infinite Arms, which is a picture printed directly on glass for a minimal, sleek presentation. This is his current collection. Sun Kil Moon's Benji, the album Marc claimed to be a perfect foil to the easily digestible and repeatable Infinite Arms. You can listen to our previous discussion on the record in Episode 8. Band of Horses' new lineup during Infinite Arms, and would remain unchanged for years—the first “true” Band of Horses lineup: Benjamin Bridwell Creighton Barret Ryan Monroe Bill Reynolds Tyler Ramsey The star at the center of the pivot point in the album art is Polaris (more commonly known as the “North Star”). The star seems to stand still in long exposure photography while the rest of the northern hemisphere stars spin around it due to the North Star being in a (mostly) direct line with the Earth's rotational axis with respect to the North Pole. Christopher Wilson, the Photographer for Infinite Arms's cover art and all the band's album art up to that point. (information courtesy of the Albums app on iOS). Michael's insane graph of “vibrancy”/”energy” by track number Infinite Arms was nominated for “Best Alternative Music Album” for the 53rd Grammy Awards in 2011, the same year Arcade Fire famously secured Album of the Year with The Suburbs. You can read Marc's thoughts on The Suburbs here. Marc found “Factory” to share similarities with Paul McCartney and Wings's “Let Me Roll It” off 1973's Band on the Run and Vacationer's “Turning” off 2018's Mindset. You can read Marc's review of Band on the Run here or listen to our discussion on Mindset in Episode 14. “Factory” utilizes both a Memotron and Theremin. The Theremin also appeared in Lord Huron's “Love Like Ghosts” & “Way Out There” off 2015's Strange Trails, and you can listen to our previous discussion on that record in Episode 2. Michael's writeup on Jimmy Buffett's A1A mentioned during the show can be found here, the finest publication on the site thus far. The Last Bison's Quill, a record Michael felt was similar to “Compliments” since they both are high in character and charm in large part because of their imperfections. Grizzly Bear's Yellow House, the record Marc felt similarly leaned into “everything & the kitchen sink” production. Eagles, a classic rock band Michael could very easily see playing “Laredo” ChrisCorradi's comment on the “bullet in my Kai Lorenzo” lyric on genius.com “Band Of Horses Survived… Barely”, The SPIN interview Marc mentioned where Ben touches on his then-recent separation with his spouse. “Grumpy Old Men” (the 1993 film) and “Old City Bar” by Trans-Siberian Orchestra both evoked similar feelings and visuals in Michael as “Blue Beard”. The Explorer's Club, a classic rock & roll and classic pop-influenced band that Marc found strikingly similar to Band of Horses' experiments in “Blue Beard” and “Dilly”. “I need more cowbell!” Long in the Tooth and Repo Records referenced in the show are Marc's favorite record haunts in the Philly area. Support your local music stores! Marc kept saying “Dilly” was very “70's” but meant to say “60's” (oops). Ludo's “Good Will Hunting by Myself”, the song Michael mentioned takes the stereotypical “I'm better off without you, anyway” attitude from pop breakup songs and cranks it up to a comical extreme. Admiral Fallow, the band Michael mentioned was also sometimes similarly “rough” in vocal delivery like in “Evening Kitchen” and also works because of those edges. Arcade Fire's “We Used To Wait”—which explicitly and intentionally makes the audience “wait” for a final chorus that never again returns—Michael cheekily claimed to be the antithesis to the infinitely repeating chorus in “Older”. “Basement Shows” (also known as “House Shows”), a staple of Philadelphia college life. “Are You My Neightbor?”, a deep cut Marc made to the classic VeggieTales episode. Yes, this was a real thing. Grizzly Bear's “Colorado”, a song Marc found just as boring as “Neighbor”. Yes Michael, I will put it down there. The Arcade Fire lyric Marc was flopping around trying to remember is “Took a drive into the sprawl / To find the house where we used to stay”, where their usage of “house” instead of “home” is meant to communicate emotional distance and lack of attachment to the physical place they grew up. Please use a good podcast player! Rooibos tea is best tea. Premium Steap and August Tea are incredible tea suppliers and are “Marc & Michael Approved”. Don't just drink Lipton and say our tea tastes like soap, anonymous coworker of Michael's. References Listed in order of reference on the show. “We actually started with a tonne of songs—about twenty-five or so—so we didn't even know which ones would make it, or which ones were good or bad really. So you don't really know until you're recording them, because we weren't really playing a lot of them live, so once they're recorded you're like, ‘Okay, this actually sounds like a real song, and this one sounds like a joke'—we're just taking the piss out of some soul song or something, you know? So we kinda learned as we went, like, ‘Oh wow, is what the record sounds like'.” “Band Of Horses Interview”, CLASH “‘We have this time off before we gotta go back out on the road again—let's just go do it ourselves. We'll get another engineer… We think we know what the songs sound like—let's just go for it'. And so we were like, “This is actually really fun”. That's when we really discovered we don't have to beat each other up on this, we can just have fun with it and enjoy the process.” “Band Of Horses Interview”, CLASH “I did stretch myself pretty much to being broke, at the same time we didn't have to worry about anybody even coming in and hearing mixes or anything, we could really take our time with it.” “Band Of Horses Interview”, CLASH “It's the first time the line-up hasn't been this revolving door. With this record it's a real band that I'm part of. No one's going anywhere, everyone's contributing to the songwriting process and this is our coming-out party.” “Band of Horses: Infinite Arms Q&A with Ben Bridwell, Uncut Magazine (archive)” “… But that's the best part about it—the fact that it is a mystery. People get the lyrics wrong—I do that all the time with my favorite songs. You read the lyrics five years later, or hear it differently, and you're like, ‘Oh, I always kinda sang something to that effect when I was singing along, but I didn't really realize what they were talking about', you know? In a way it's like little hints come around and the mystery kinda reveals itself, but the fact that people don't really know is my favorite part, because that's what I appreciate about songs as well.” “Band Of Horses Interview”, CLASH [With Regards to “Factory”] “I was listening to a lot of Nick Drake and was really enamored by the string arrangements in his songs. Also, I was trying to make it a bit dramatic sounding in a Bittersweet Symphony kinda way.” “Track-byTrack: Band of Horses' Infinite Arms”, THE SKINNY “I was actually out writing songs for the new record, and I had some crazy stuff going on. That song just kind of ended up tapping me on the shoulder. Even though some of it is a bit maybe too autobiographical for my own tastes, a lot of it dances around subjects like all my songs do. I try not to be too specific.” “Infinite Arms: A conversation with Band of Horses' Ben Bridwell”, Mike Ragogna of HuffPost Entertainment “We got to the point where we were touring so much that nowhere was really home. So I figured, at least if I'm gonna come home after these long stretches of traveling, it would nice to be around my family; my parents, and my brother and sister are having babies. So it was like, when I come home, at least I'm close enough so I get to see them at least twice a year compared to like maybe once a year.” “Band Of Horses Interview”, CLASH “This song [‘Infinite Arms'] deals a lot with the major theme of the record, and being the title track that's maybe a little obvious, but this is one I'm not quite ready to unveil the mask on. But I can tell you that it almost didn't make the record.” “Track-byTrack: Band of Horses' Infinite Arms”, THE SKINNY “We went bonkers with Infinite Arms, because we could. It was a challenge to see what we could do, but we also overcooked some shit.” “Band of Horses: Mystery Riders”, Magnet Magazine Art ♫︎

Inflation is bad enough for folks living on a budget with some money to spare, but it's devastating for those relying on credit cards. We'll talk about that and the best solution to the problem today with Neile Simon today on MoneyWise. Neile Simon is a Certified Credit Counselor with Christian Credit Counselors, an underwriter of this program. GROWING DEBT On today's program, Simon shares troubling data from the Federal Reserve. The Fed just issued a report about credit card debt in the 2nd quarter of this year, and it's surging as people struggle with inflation. Americans took on $46 billion in new credit card debt from April through June, almost a 6% increase from the previous quarter. There was also a 13% jump in new credit card accounts, the biggest increase in over 20 years. Why is this happening? The Fed report lays the blame on inflation, which is now running around 9%, and people being unwilling or unable to adjust their budget for higher prices. Some 233 million new accounts were opened in the second quarter. We haven't seen a number that high since 2008. One seemingly positive in the report is that it says delinquency rates for credit card debt are still relatively low. However, that really just means the burden of servicing that debt hasn't caught up to people yet. But it will. Total credit card debt jumped $100 billion in the 2nd quarter to reach a whopping $890 billion. And it's not over. Lending Tree just did a survey in which 43% of respondents said they will likely add to their debt in the next six months. THE WAY OUT There's a way out of credit card debt that doesn't involve bankruptcy that destroys your credit rating or debt consolidation loans that can get you deeper in debt. That's where Christian Credit Counselors comes in. CCC's process is debt management, not debt consolidation or debt settlement. When people get on a debt management plan with CCC, they make only one monthly payment. Christian Credit Counselors has arrangements with all major credit card issuers to lower interest rates dramatically, which can help clients to pay off credit card debt up to 80% faster than doing it themselves. Developing a spending plan (a budget) is an important part of the process. And CCC's team helps clients to set up a spending plan that works and puts them on a path to break free from debt. To learn more, visit ChristianCreditCounselors.org or call 800-557-1985. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ● What is a payable on death provision for bank accounts? ● Does it make sense to take out a life insurance policy at age 75?

The Mandalorian is pretty unique in that he keeps his face hidden almost the whole time. This is very rare in TV and movies, the rule is that we HAVE to see the actor's face, so they rarely even keep on hats let alone remain fully masked! Yes, there are examples of it but they're few and far between. It's very cool that they've allowed the character to remain hidden for most of the show and he's much cooler for it because it allows the audience to fill in what he really looks like or just imagine him as a cool faceless avatar of awesome. We chat about the coolness of masked characters. There are many in the Star Wars universe: Bobba Fet, Darth Vader, even the storm Troopers but not so many elsewhere. What makes them cool? How do we recognise them as human, robots, or aliens? We can somehow tell the difference. The Mandalorian's style of masked helmet has its roots in antiquity: it's inspired by the Greek Corinthian style Hoplite helmet, one of the Mandalorians even has a helmet that specifically references that style. The Corinthian war helmet lends the wearers that same type of cool anonymity, you can just imagine the effect they would have had on opponents 2700 years ago! The Roman gladiator Murmillo helmets even more so. This week Gunwallace has given us the theme to Way Out There - Are you ready?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Blame Mr Banes for this one, he's also the man responsible for the great cover art! Haha, he originally came up with the Quackcast topic: How do you build tension in a scene? There are a lot of ways! We talk about some of them here… Time limits on a scene, impending deadlines, a character dying but they can still be saved, misunderstandings, something the audience knows but the characters don't, decompressed scenes, closeups of faces, weird angles… NEXT WEEK'S QUACKCAST: Commentary on the movie Fire and ICE This week Gunwallace has given us the theme to Molly Lusc.

As a teenager his parents got him out of the city by signing him up for the Boy Scouts in the Catskill Mountains. Harris learned compass and other outdoor skills, quickly surpassing his family and friends’ hiking skills.Way Out There: Adventures of a Wilderness Trekker, takes readers along with J.R. on many adventures from Alaska and the reaches of Canada to Peru, Australia and Tasmania.We talk for quite a long time about his trip on the Canol Heritage Trail in 1997. He found a Backpacker Magazine on a subway at 3AM where he found a story of the trail. J.R. not only hiked the majority of this 255 mile trail, but he also deeply researched the history of the area.He met a surviving member of an all African American battalion which was stationed in this far north Canadian territory during World War II building what would shortly become a failed pipeline. It was feared that Japan would try to destroy the United States fuel coming from Alaska. These men endured hard times.We talk about his preparation for these many adventures.
