My Title Track for this one, "Dead Man's Party," opens with Oingo Boingo's single by that name, which inspired my to commission a piece from my artist friend Daryl James in Ohio.

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my 18th episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Carnival," I celebrate artists in my collection beginning with the letter N.
I open with a nice comment from my friend Joe Koppinger about episode 17. You can learn more about what he gets up to pop culture and comic book-wise at his YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CrazyHungarian/
Then, in a bit of Housekeeping, comments on potential parallels between a couple millennial releases and punk era music I'd touched on in episode 17, and a few new unmarketed features I've encountered in my Apple Music app functionality on my PC and share a few workarounds I've discovered.

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and breaking format a bit, my 16th episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, titled "Angels Would Fall," is an artist-focused episode about Melissa Etheridge.
Yup, my Apple Music collection features six LPs by this artist, including her self-titled release, "Brave and Crazy," "Never Enough," "Yes I Am," "Your Little Secret" and "Breakdown."
I open with a discussion of my first encounters with this artist, her music video for "Similar Features" and buying her self-titled LP release.
In "Title Track," I talk about the music video I recorded and sent to my now husband in the early days of our relationship, recording myself walking the residential streets of Minot, North Dakota, and my emotional connection to the song "Angels Would Fall." I share a clip of that video to VideoFuzzy's Instagram account here: https://www.instagram.com/videofuzzy.
I then talk about her "Yes We Are" tour with the Indigo Girls, which I missed hearing about by days when they were through my part of the world. Instead, I was able to check out her performance at the Fort Lauderdale War Memorial Auditorium on Jan. 21, 2025, posted to YouTube by the Skip Roper Sings account. You can check that out here for as long as it is posted: https://bit.ly/3MUZ9lq
Finally, I talk about some of the themes she explores in her discography, including sensuality, openness and commitment.
Also, this episode marks my second-ever entry in VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack: The Video! which you can check out here: https://youtu.be/NpO-5nIjXbo Enjoy!

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my 15th episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Everybody Knows," I celebrate three years of this project and artists in my collection beginning with the letter L.
First, in a bit of an update, I share my review of Guadalajaran artist and DJ Benjamin Koll's release of "Dance Love Dream" https://bit.ly/4627Hys which he was hard at work completing when I met with him this summer. It came together beautifully, and is the topic of my first ever "VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack .. The Video! Ep. 1: Benjamin Koll's Dance Love Dream" at https://youtu.be/Ho7lQ9IIUas -- enjoy!
My Title Track for this one, "Everybody Knows," I lift from a spirited and delightful conversation with Shreveport, La., teacher John Allen, friend from my theater days in Minot and friend of the pod, appearing in ep. 6 to chat with me about Ed Sheeran. This time we explore the work of Leonard Cohen through the lens of "Hallelujah" (referenced at SNL cold open https://youtu.be/BG-_ZDrypec?si=nz0uTkbquwKRVzLq ), as well as "Closing Time," "Anthem," "The Future," "First We Take Manhattan," "Who By Fire," "Tower of Song" and closing with "Everybody Knows."
Quick show so far, as of this episode, I've not chatted about all of them, but I've covered nearly 2,400 songs by some 350 artists, which is astonishing to me as I've still got more than half of the alphabet to cover -- looking forward to it!
In other Influences, artists with full LPs in my collection, I chat about Lady Gaga, Led Zeppelin, Letters to Cleo, Lennon, Leah Andreone, Loreena McKennitt, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Linda M. Smith, Lisa Loeb, Live, Ludovico Einaudi, Lorie Line and Loom.

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my 14th episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Osito," I dive into and celebrate the World Music entries in my collection, along with artists in my collection beginning with the letter K.
My Title Track "Osito" is from the past three years or so I've been listening to Spanish artist by way most recently of Mexico, Benjamin Koll (channel: https://bit.ly/4627Hys) a creative force going back to Madrid in the '90s. I have five of his LPs in my collection. The half-year delay in this episode was a scheduling issue; if I could wait til July, he'd be DJ'ing an event eight hours up the road from me and ... I just so craved this opportunity to meet with him in person I erred on the side of delaying this production so as to make that happen. In all reality [looks back at the last seven episodes of big sister production, VideoFuzzy] I had plenty to do in the meantime.
Along with our conversation, my Influences [full LPs/World Music] for this set under world music included Benjamin Koll's "Songs for a Better Future" from 2017, "All Systems Go" from 2020, "Once in a Lifetime" from 2021, "Osito" from 2022 and "8 Days in a Bear's Life" from 2023, with a peek at a release he has slated for this fall, very exciting. Also, Kashtin's "Akua Tuta" from 1994, Kukuruza's "Crossing Borders" from 1993 (Kukuruza "Porushka Poranya" - https://bit.ly/4621YbX), and Twelve Girls Band "Eastern Energy" from 2004 (https://bit.ly/46uwWcQ). Also, Robbie Robertson and The Red Road Ensemble's "Songs for The Native Americans" from 1994.
In Influences [full LPs/standard] for this set, K artists with full LPs in my collection, I talk about Kate Bush "The Whole Story" from 1986 (Kate Bush "Wuthering Heights" https://bit.ly/46Aoitl and https://bit.ly/40END1q), Kiss' "The Very Best of Kiss" from 2002, which I chat about with my friend Jason Lund from high school, who I'd say was a solid influence on my musical interests at a formative time.
In Breakouts, artists with multiple songs in my collection, world music edition, I have multiple songs each by Shakira and Falco. Standard collection, I have multiple entries from Kesha, Kansas, Korn, k.d. lang, Keith Forsey and Kim Richey.
In Sparks, artists with one song in my collection, standard edition, I have songs by K7, KT Tunstall, Kim Wilde ("Keep Me Hanging On" https://bit.ly/40dBErw), Katy Perry, Kendall Kelly, Kelly Clarkson and Karla Devito.
In Sparks, world music edition, I talk about songs by STi, Las Ketchup, Saez, Tommy Heavenly 6, The Mars Volta and Vitek or Origa ("Inner Universe" https://bit.ly/4eLpzQt), along with an overview on world music generally.

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my 12th episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Hiding Behind the Moon," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter J.
My title track takes me in a different direction for this set. Straight out the gate, I highlight the late Jeff Hanson's "Hiding Behind the Moon" is only in my collection in the first place because I heard it in a first season episode of "Nip/Tuck."
And so many songs by J-named artists trace their pathway into my collection by way of soundtracks and other media engagement I decided to lead with my Sparks entries, because with a few exceptions, most of them are by artists with one song in my collection. Apart from Jeff Hanson, this list includes Jace Everett, Jack White and Alicia Keys, Janet Seidel, Jem, Joshua Henry, John C. Reilly, Joe Purdy, Joyce Kennedy, Julia Migenes, Jan August, Jack Johnson and Jared Halley.
In Influences, artists with full LPs in my collection, I talk about Jefferson Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow," Joss Stone's "The Soul Sessions," Jewel's "Pieces of You" and "Spirit" and Joan Osborne's "Relish."
In Breakouts, artists with multiple songs in my collection, I talk about finding a couple Journey tracks in my collection I know were taped off the radio back in the 1980s, some of the most Gen X music I own. Also, more from Joshua Henry and Jared Halley and songs by Jason Mraz.
And in a second pass at Sparks, other artists with one song in my collection, I Have Jay-Z's collaboration with Linkin Park, Jethro Tull, Jesus Jones, Johnny Cash, John Lennon and John Denver, Janis Ian, Johnny Rivers and Joss Whedon.

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my 11th episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Relics of Things Past," it's my second installment of artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter I.
Yup, "Ep. 10: Caramia" focused on the 80+ songs in my collection by The Indigo Girls. Part 2 of the I's starts out with an interview with a college friend of mine, Mark Leonard Mason, and he talked to me about a band he was in at the time called "Ice Nine." Since conducting and editing that interview, I received the tragic news that Mark lost his life in a car accident. I added some words ahead of the interview and beyond it to reflect our loss.
Under Influences [full LPs] I talk about Inspiral Carpets, Incubus and Ibeyi. Under Breakouts [multiple tracks] I talk about Iggy Pop and INXS. And under Sparks [single tracks] I talk about Ice Cube, Inara George and Information Society.
Pics in my Instagram of Ice Nine cassette and CD artwork, Mark Leonard Mason from the '90s, and screencaps from Ibeyi's performance of "Deathless" from their 2017 release "Ash" on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in March of 2018.

THE INDIGO GIRLS in concert at the Fargo Civic Center in May 1995.
Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my 10th episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, I'm writing to you from Grand Rapids, Mich., where I recently took in a live taping of the All About Agatha podcast with host and author Kemper Donovan, discussing his debut mystery novel "The Busy Body," which I reviewed around the 20-minute mark in Ep. 92 of my other, more media-centered podcast, VideoFuzzy. https://bit.ly/49U5dQX
Kemper was in fine voice, handing off hosting duties to Schuler Books events coordinator Elizabeth Bosscher and giving so far the most detailed look at that novel, released earlier this year, on his podcast, check it out if you get a chance, it's sure to post shortly.
As for this podcast, most of my entries so far have been driven by the alphabet – all the artists in my collection who begin with the letter A, or the letter C and so on. But with the Indigo Girls, I've got seven LPs and a few singles to talk about – more than 80 tracks in my collection altogether – as well as a VHS tape of concert footage.
They're artists I've been listening to since I was in my teens. I've attended at least one, possibly two of their concerts. They've influenced my musical tastes and woldview more than I will ever know and I enjoyed this opportunity to talk about them.
Format was a bit different this time. I talk a little about my earliest encounters with their music, then I talk about their single "Caramia" as a title track, pulling up "Burn All the Letters" as a feature later on.
Under "Influences," I tried talking about the LPs in order of release, but quickly found that didn't really convey my experience of their music in my life. So I approached it in general topics, like spirituality, and exploration, and activism.
I talked about a vibe I was getting from their song "Burn All the Letters" and emotional ties that song sparked in me. I talked about a couple songs from "All That We Let In" that seem to explore different sides of the same conversation – "Fill It Up Again" and "Come On Home" – and close with "Go," one of the strongest get-out-the-vote motivators I've ever heard.

Hiya! I'm Terry J. Aman, host of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, and in "Ep. 10: Caramia," comments on the Indigo Girls, the Indigo Girls and oh yeah, the Indigo Girls! This one stood out because as I started talking about artists in my collection that began with the letter I, this veteran feminist folk duo with seven, count 'em, SEVEN LPs in my collection clearly needed to be their own episode, focused on the contributions to my life and energy by Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, celebrated folk duo The Indigo Girls.

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my eighth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, titled "Houses," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter G.
This one explores some overlap between my two podcast projects, music and media – particularly music I've encountered in shows and movies and added to my Apple Music catalog.
Under Title Track, I talk about "Houses" by Great Northern and "Take on Me" by aha! I added "Houses" after the song appeared in the fourth season finale of "The Magicians."

Hiya! I'm Terry J. Aman, host of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, and in "Ep. 8: Houses," I look at the the overlap between my two podcast projects with songs I've added to my collection because I've encountered them in TV shows and movies, like the appearance of Great Northern's astonishing "Houses" in the season four finale of "The Magicians" and so many more. That and some suggestion the Gorillaz might have been making music for decades earlier than their self-titled LP. For that, plus comments on Green Day, George Michael, GTR, Gin Blossoms, Glee, Ghost, Good Charlotte, Garbage, Gotye, Gavin Creel and the cast of "Hair," add, follow and subscribe to VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack, wherever you get your podcasts!
Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my seventh episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Immortals," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter F.

In my Title Track, I talk about Fall Out Boy and their song "Immortals" from its appearance in "Big Hero 6" and their 2015 LP release "American Beauty/American Psycho."

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my sixth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Taking Over Me," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter E.
In my Title Track, I talk about Evanescence and Amy Lee's haunted, ethereal vocals paired with delicate piano and thrash metal. Specifically I explore their song "Taking Over Me" off the "Fallen" CD and Lee's comments that the song is an exploration of obsession. I also talk about other compilations in my collection including their live LP "Anywhere But Home" and "The Open Door."
In Lost Tracks, songs that did not transfer properly from one PC to the next, I added "Llorando" by Escencia, and "Veronica" by Elvis Costello. Then under Influences, artists with entire LPs in my collection, I talk about Enigma and Enya, Eve 6 and Edie Brickell.
In my Breakouts segment, bands with multiple tracks in my collection, I talk about Elton John and I want to share a couple of side-by-side comparisons I found on YouTube. First, the side-by-side video for "I'm Still Standing" that appeared in the movie at https://youtu.be/VSKKfDT083o. Then, I found where someone put together "Rocketman" vs. Elton John videos at https://youtu.be/6WLXin59owM -- truly astonishing presentation. Also, comments on Eminem, Earl "Fatha" Hines, EmmyLou Harris, En Vogue, Elvis Costello, the Eurythmics and covers of early Tori Amos releases by E-Clypse.
In Sparks, artists with one song in my collection, I chat with my friend John Allen about Ed Sheeran's "Give Me Love," largely on the strength of his having called it "the worst song ever" in a Facebook post a thousand years ago, and me taking the opportunity to broaden my insights into the music in my collection. Other artists I chat about Eric Heatherly, Everlast, Erasure, Elastica, E.G. Daily, Edwyn Collins, Elliot Goldenthal, Eliza Gilkyson and Eileen Barton.

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my fifth episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "Listen to What the DJ's Spinning," I focus on artists in my music collection whose names begin with the letter D.
In my Title Track, I sneak my way on topic by a deep cut from Deee-Lite, "ESP" with the line: "Listen to What the DJ's Spinning." I chat with my friend Drew Brady, a DJ in Denver who has produced hours of ambient music, available on Apple Music and Band Camp. I chat with him about his background, his influences and what drives him in his creation. I was even able to share some of his original work, which he shared in a video on his Facebook page. Drew has a performance scheduled at the Wax Trax record shop in Denver in July, and you can check out his other work on his Brother Saturn Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@BrotherSaturn
I also mention ambient soundcraft put together by my friend Leonard Mason including GhostLodgeMusic's "Glacier" (1-hour) at https://youtu.be/uOzvjgmkn3Y and GhostLodgeMusic's "Glacier" (12-hour) at https://youtu.be/AE0-5C3Yo4o
For Influences, artists with entire LPs in my collection, I talk about Deep Purple's "House of Blue Light," Dorthy Fix "Yourself" with a Dorthy Fix YouTube playlist at https://bit.ly/3M20e6Y and the Abandoned Scout Camp Soundcloud listing with Dorthy Fix tracks at https://bit.ly/3Bo0kAM. While talking about the Dandy Warhols "Come Down," I mention my friend Aunt Arlene's fanvid for the Scissors Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" at https://youtu.be/XBM8-NHcVTs, check that out. Plus, Duran Duran -- I'm looking for helpful suggestions for alternate titles for their "Greatest" LP, send to tjaman1970@yahoo.com -- closing the segment with Dido's "No Angel."
In Lost Tracks, I reacquired four songs from Dolly Parton along with the new release from her "Rockstar" LP, "World on Fire." I just bought Duran Duran's "Greatest," The Dandy Warhols "Come Down" and "We Used to Be Friends." I got Hall & Oates "Maneater" and Debbie Gibson's "Foolish Beat." Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man," Duffy's "Mercy," Dixie Cups "Iko Iko" and Dr. Hook's "Cover of the Rolling Stone." Also, Destiny Child's "Bootylicious," and songs by Death Cab for Cutie and the Decemberists.
In my Breakouts segment, bands with multiple tracks in my collection, I celebrate the de-groovy and de-gorgeous energies of Deee-Lite, grateful for the sneaky backdoor title track from their "ESP" entry and its ties to Edgar Allen Poe, as well as their "What Is Love" single and of course, "Groove is in the Heart." I get after Dolly Parton some for both-sidesing and vaguebooking her message in "World on Fire," available at https://youtu.be/MLIGxNZeW78. Plus, songs by the Dave Matthews Band, Def Leppard, Dokken and Dio.
In Sparks, songs by DISL Automatic -- that work available at DISL Automatic official site: https://getbigonem.com/, Disturbed, Detroit Cobras, Dokken (they fit better to talk about up there but actually go here), Dryadia, Dia Frampton, Dusty Springfield, Donna Summer, Doxology, David Lee Roth, Dullen and Dwayne Johnson.

Hiya! My name's Terry J. Aman and in this, my third episode of VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack titled "I Need to Be Bold," I lead with comments on, well, episode 2 -- this project is still a little bit "seat of my pants" and I'm still figuring things out, formatwise. This episode focused on artists in my collection beginning with the letter B.
But I do get into my title track commentary soon enough, talking about having taken in a couple of Brenda Weiler concerts in the 1990s and the circumstances around having four album releases worth of material in my music library and three tracks from a fifth. I dig into her lyrics and explore the song "Bold" from her 2000 "Fly Me Back" release, link to that one here: https://youtu.be/zGdxQ475ah0
In Lost Tracks, I talk about welcoming her "Cold Weather" LP back into my collection and wonder aloud about the other eight tracks of her 2007 "End the Rain" release that I seem to be missing. Other additions for this category include Buster Poindexter's "Hot Hot Hot," Bruce Springsteen's "Radio Nowhere," Blues Travelers' "Hook," Billy Joel's "Pressure," Blue October's "Hate Me," Brooke's cover of "Time After Time," the Bangles cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter," Big Red Button's "Let The Old Ways Die," Better Than Ezra's "Desperately Wanting," and Beth Orton's "Anywhere."
In Influences, I talk about Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" and "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" in my collection and almost seeing her in concert a long time ago when Tori Amos opened for her in Minneapolis. Then I talked to my friend Marc Bailey about Black Lab, a group who based on his recommendation I purchased their "Greatest Hits" compilation. We also talked about their LP "A Raven Has My Heart," and Black Lab lead singer Paul Durham's 2023 solo LP release "This Sweet Life." Link: https://www.blacklabworld.com
Then I interview Minot, N.D., artist Brent Braniff about now three album releases in my music collection, including "So Who Am I Supposed to Impress?" and "Saving the World," his past work with producer Chad Wheeling, and his 2022 solo release "Proof," as well as his plans for upcoming projects. I also include a comment from Brent after my closing, shaping some of his longtime musical philosophy. Brent's work is available to review and purchase on Apple Music.
Other influences in my collection include "Time Capsule: Songs for a New Generation" by The B-52s, "Star" by Belly and "A Slow Dance" a DJ friend of mine in Denver named Drew Brady released as Brother Saturn. Also, "Kept the Key to Get His Stuff" by Ben Wilinski, "No Parking" and "Wasteland" by Brakelazy, "On Flame with Rock ‘n Roll" by Blue Oyster Cult, Blind Melon's self-titled release, "Church of Scars" by Bishop Briggs and "Sixteen Stone," "Razorblade Suitcase" and "The Science of Things" by Bush. As well as "Heaven on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle, "All I Want" by Bernadette Moley and "From the Mouth" by The Blenders.
My Breakouts section includes "If U Seek Amy" and "I Wanna Go" by Britney Spears, "Bottoms Up" and "Kick It in the Sticks" by Brantley Gilbert, "Livin' on a Prayer," "Keep the Faith," "It's My Life," "We Weren't Born to Follow" and "Have a Nice Day" by Jon Bon Jovi, "French Kiss" and "The Middle" by Bosco Rogers, and an EP titled "Fathers as Robots" by Billy Schuh & The Foundry, now Foundry Field Recordings.
And under Sparks I talk about "Radio Nowhere" by Bruce Springsteen, "It's All About Me" by the Bit Players in "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," Baz Luhrman's "Sparkling Diamonds" suite from "Moulin Rouge," Billy Crystal as his Fernando character with "You Look Mahvelous" and Bree Sharp's "David Duchovny."
I had Broadcast's "The Book Lovers" and Burt Bacharach's "What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love" from the "Austin Powers" soundtrack, The Black Keys' "I'll Be Your Man" from the "Rescue Me" soundtrack, Bone Thugs n' Harmony's "Look Into My Eyes" from the "Music from and Inspired by Batman and Robin" soundtrack, and I added Bloody Civilian's "Wake Up" feat. Rema, Burna Boy's "Alone" and Blue Rojo's "Inframundo" from the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" soundtrack. Also, Billy Thorpe's "Children of the Sun," I heard that as part of the second season of "Fargo" on FX. I also touch on Bryan Adams' "Run to You," Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues," Breathe Carolina's punk cover of Miley Cyrus' "See You Again," Blu Cantrell's "Hit 'em Up Style" and Blondie's "Rapture."
Finally, I want to thank my friend Paul Johnson [his bitingly clever "Luminol (Circumstantial)" is available on Apple Music and Spotify] for introducing me to Bo Burnham's comic original "White Woman's Instagram," which I thought was a fun cultural comment.
