Once again we've been pointed out by the deified fingers of the gang from Trust the Wizards. This time whey chose to play Ctrl-Alt-Del, a track from our newest album. The Wizards discuss some parallel thoughts of other computer behavior/human behavior similarities and go on to play quite a few other great tunes including a song from one of our all-time favorite albums, Trompe le Monde by Pixies.
Please check out the Trust the Wizards podcast. Their silver tongues will delight you, we promise.
The Efts were once again a part of Trust The Wizards podcast! Hoorah! This time they played our song called Beat Walker and discussed some of the correspondence between ourselves and Rebel Rikkit, one of the esteemed members of the show. The entire 2 hour program is delightfully funny, fantastically eclectic, and definitely worth hearing. We are completely in awe of their broad taste in music, and feel very lucky to have been a part of their productions. Thanks so much Wizards!
We were recently contacted by one of the esteemed members of Trust The Wizards, a group of music lovers who produce a fantastically eclectic podcast on a regular basis. They were interested in one of our older songs called Your Turn Now. The song appeared on their most recent podcast which also includes Wu Tang Clan, The Clash, King Curtis, and many more musical groups (see? Eclectic! Yesss!). We are begging you to listen to Trust The Wizards. The show's hosts play music from their enormous collection, then discuss each selection in a witty and intelligent manner. Thanks so much for reaching out to us Wizards!
The Efts have led generally charmed lives. We've had wonderful things happen to us over the years. Among those wonderful things is the fact that we've crossed paths with The Most Popular Girls on the Internet. We've managed to once again become the featured breaky-break song on TMPGOTI's podcast this week. We strongly suggest you head to their site to check out the episode so you can hear Tara and Sassy discuss Game of Thrones (without spoilers!), Everquest Landmark, gallbladder problems, the psychological consequences of playing video games, being in the Grant County Press and much more.
Once again we'd like to thank TMPGOTI for being our favorite venue. We love you Tara and Sassy!!
For the first time ever, a podcast has played one of our songs before we've had a chance to release it. The Most Popular Girls on the Internet made our snow day even better by surprising us with adding our newest song 'You're Not Afraid of Color' to their 230th episode over the weekend. Both of the wonderful hosts of TMPGOTI are members of our music beta team. As a result, they heard this several days before we've had a chance to put on the song's finishing touches and get some associated art for the release. We once again implore you to check out their show. Listen as Sassy gushes about her favorite Bond actor and debates about the amount of time allowed before spoilers can be unleashed upon the interwebs. Hear all about the continued alpha action as Tara works her way through Everquest Next: Landmark and rants about the whole Comcast/Netflix debacle. Hilarity will ensue as Sassy tries to use words with her mouth. We love you TMPGOTI! Thanks for giving our music a home.
As usual we're playing the same video games as The Most Popular Girls on the Internet. Currently that game is Grand Theft Auto 5, arguably the best game ever for generation 7 consoles. This week brings a new TMPGOTI, and with it brings tales of Tara and Cassandra playing GTA, drawing penises, and a fun new Drunknowlegy. They also play our version of Waiting Room. Needless to say its a riveting episode that shouldn't be missed so why are you still reading this? Check out the link above!
This past weekend we got to go hang with our very good friend Andrew Treat. On our way to his place we joyously listened to the new episode of The Most Popular Girls on the Internet, something we love to do while cooped up in our truck. We had some good laughs throughout episode 204, and learned more about the hardware differences between the upcoming Xbox One and the Playstation 4. We also learned about Sassy's limited game title memory concerns. TMPGOTI also included our recent cover of Baba O'Riley as their featured breaky break song. Thanks for making our weekend even more fun TMPGOTI! And happy birthday Tara!!
You know its going to be good when they start the podcast already inebriated. Tara and Cassandra provide a couple hours of solid entertainment in their most recent episode of The Most Popular Girls on the Internet as they discuss games, movies, books, Game of Thrones etiquette, and have a relatively serious discussion regarding big brother monitoring the internet. They also play The Efts version of True Colors during their mid-show breaky break. We've said this several times on our blog, but we'll say it again: LISTEN TO TMPGOTI. We are addicted to their weekly antics and look forward to each new episode.
We had a fantastic weekend. We watched 15 new episodes of Arrested Development, spent some time with our co-couple Dylan and Deanie, had Monday off, and spent all day Saturday with Tara and Cassandra as they celebrated their 200th episode of The Most Popular Girls on the Internet podcast LIVE. We were star-struck and thrilled as they included us in the festivities. We got to be interviewed during the program prior to the official unveiling of a song we wrote for them. It was the cherry on top of a phenomenal weekend, one we'll never forget. Thanks (x1000000) for the many hours of joy you've given to us Tara and Cassandra!
The Efts love The Most Popular Girls on the Internet
They've made us laugh for hours. They've informed us of the various facets of their lives which have oddly paralleled our own. They are wickedly smart and nerdily fascinating. They are The Most Popular Girls on the Internet. Each week we welcome our favorite podcast hosts Tara and Cassandra into our home via our interlines. Catching up with TMPGOTI has become such an important part of our lives that we wanted to thank them via this gift-song. We are literally begging anyone reading this to check out their site and become addicted to their ways. The Most Popular Girls on the Internet: brightening the lives of the geek community for almost 200 episodes.
Lyrics:
Every time they put their voices on the microphone
they send it to the speakers found within my car and home
They don't need a Y to go with their X chromosomes
They are the most, the most popular.
Every week I get some weekly geeky stereo love
As a geek I need to know about all this stuff
Once a week is never ever really enough
of girls on the internet.
They are the most popular
They are the most popular
They are the most popular
girls on the internet
They may talk about the news from in Ice Station C
They may chat about the games that they have played lately
They may drink and shout about something that's on TV
We learned something last week. We learned how to create unholy burps using common household liquors. Want to know more? Check out the above link and listen as The Most Popular Girls on the Internet explode digestively. They also discuss Hunger Games, Guild Wars 2, Devil May Cry, women as gamers, and still have time to squeeze in our latest song Holding Hands for Forty Years. Hearing Tara and Cassandra (aka Gassy Sassy) congratulate Shannon's folks on their 40th anniversary was a surreal and wonderful experience. Thanks (as always) go out to our favorite podcast for continuing to support us.
Radio is a dismal affair in the rural area in which we live. None of the stations that reach our tiny woodland cabin play anything of interest, which is why we turn to podcasts for our ear-tainment. Along with The Most Popular Girls on the Internet and the now retired Radio Free Hipster, we have been listening to several Guild Wars 2 podcasts. Our favorite of the latter is The Siege. The Siege is hosted by legit fans of the game who seem to love sharing their stories and knowledge with their listeners. We were very excited to hear our guild's theme song played on the most recent episode. Thanks, The Siege! You've continually enhanced our enjoyment of GW2, and we look forward to hearing many more episodes of your excellent podcast.
Perhaps you heard a distant explosion this morning. That was the sound of our egos exploding with sonic delight. Delight I tell you! We've once again been featured on The Most Popular Girls on the Internet, this time with Brandon's Theme. After listening to so many episodes of TMPGonI lately, hearing one of our songs on their show is surrealishly satisfying. For those of you who have never checked their site, you should do so immediately. With 180 episodes, 250+ hours of content and a never-ending supply of unadulterated geekiness, we're completely head-over-heels in love with this show.
Tara and Cassandra (The Most Popular Girls on the Internet) are awesome for a lot of reasons: they can game with the best of us, they are very smart, very funny, and have enchanting voices. In other words they are the best case scenario for a Vented party member in any mmorpg you might have tried. They have been promoting geek culture for years on their site, which is probably already familiar to most of our nerdy fans. We've been included on their podcast today with our song This Love Is A Robot. They said some wonderful words about our music and it made us feel great. We beg you to become part of their dedicated crew of listeners, support their endeavors, and make their podcast a weekly part of your lives. Thanks so much Tara and Cassandra! You are loved.
We play a lot of Guild Wars 2 these days. We'd love to play all the time, but occasionally we have to stop for work, driving, eating, shopping, etc. Luckily there are some options for those non-gaming moments in our lives, namely podcasts like The Siege. The crew of GW2 experts at The Siege provide an excellent weekly tour of the latest news related to our current gaming focus. We're thrilled to have been included in their latest episode. Hearing the The Siege team discuss our devotion to Chris A Ivey was a genuine delight. If you share our love of GW2, we implore you to check The Siege often. Listen to their words and let their guidance make you the envy of your server.
We're delighted to have been included in episode 144 (!!!) of the podcast arm of nerdcore catalyst Hipster, Please! Our fourth appearance on Radio Free Hipster shares Lolo's 2012 birthday song with the podcast's listeners. Z continues to inspire us with his constant stream of music. Our lives have been very positively impacted by his work over the years, and we implore you to explore his site on a regular basis. Thanks so much Z! We send positive nerdly rays of love in your direction.
Yessssssssss!!! We've been honored with another appearance on Radio Free Hipster, the podcast arm of the musical juggernaut known as Hipster, Please! Our sincere thanks go out to Z for his years of dedication to our musical genre. Hipster, Please! has been a source of inspiration for us for a long time. For example, after reading several of his posts a few months ago we wrote Revolves Around You. The instrumentals and words we created for that tune were all sprung from the Hipster, Please catalyst. This particular Halloween episode of Radio Free Hipster is packed with great tunes. The final song (the new version of Still Alive by Jonathan Coulton) is one that I replayed many times. Thanks again Z for including us in episode 120!!
Perhaps you've been hearing a dinging sound. That's the sound of the sparkle of our teeth as we smile uncontrollably. The source for our happiness? Our recent inclusion in episode 33 of The GeekSpin with Brad Bowyer. Brad has been making great quality podcasts for a long time and we are deeply overjoyed to hear one of our songs on his program. The GeekSpin is a wonderful source of nerdy music, and has been a catalyst for our inspiration. Thanks Brad!!!!!
Deep breaths. Deeeeeep breaths. We continue to be overwhelmed. Another podcast has decided to include us in a recent episode, this time with our tune In Between Games. Radio Clash, a constant emitter of superior sonic signals from across the pond, has been pumping out podcasts for years. We're humbled and honored to be a part of his ever-growing legion of listeners.
We're overwhelmed with unabashed waves of positive thought! We just discovered our inclusion in the 70th episode of GeekDad's HipTrax from Wired. Once again, our thanks go out to Z for adding us to the mix with chiptune maestros Comptroller and Dot.AY. Cheers!!
