Episode Description

Show some respect because this week on the podcast we are joined by the pride and joy of Rochester, Daniel Armbruster of Joywave! In this episode we discuss if the return to the golden age of travel is in the cards and why Daniel won't even get near an airport without his trusty Adidas tracksuit. We also take a moment to press the "easy" button and learn about his time working at Staples and internalizing Steve Winwood songs. Speaking of music (or muzak?), we go straight to Europe to learn about the history of the PURE MOODS compilation albums. From Enya to Enigma to the X-Files Theme song, why were these albums so influential and who the hell is the enigmatic graphic designer, Joe Cheese? Finally in a round of CHANGE DOT DORK we discuss if Daniel should be a character in Fortnite, does Rochester need a casino and is there room in the drug store aisle for Baja Blast-flavored Tums? You'll have to listen to this episode to find out!
