How can a non-musician discuss the future of music from anything other than a consumer point of view?
These people make decisions for the bulk of us without consulting any of us
Sales and distributions of our futures
If this world were fair and right, they'd give up the car keys this very night
Hello, it's Sats and Sounds, episode number 95
For May 26th, 2025, it is Memorial Day in the United States when we reflect on the lives lost in order to keep this country free
And otherwise known as the official start to summer
Some freshly rendered bits from a band called Hollow Sky and this one is called To Die For
Slow down and tell me what you think about that you can't tell me
You know it's not healthy to keep it in, try it out
It's not a diet, it's a given that you're gonna feel free, I need help me, let's begin
First step, let's open it up and tell me what you really think, did you really think what that diamond ring can pinpoint
Come on, would you stop giving a fuck, trying to show you that I love you but it's never right
Give me something to live for, play for, die for
I've been thinking of you and I and I've decided I am drowning slowly in thoughts of death and I don't get it
You want the fucking cucko race, but didn't you hear me, I guess you had the last laugh, he is the first ass, isn't he?
Lend me, I'll show you what a nightmare is, and what a fucking mess, and forgot the closure, now I start to mold her for how she left me all alone
I'm abandoned, God damn it, I can't stand it, oh
I've been thinking of you and I and I've decided I am drowning slowly in thoughts of death and I don't get it
I've been thinking it's dark to see the pain inside, behind
Give me something to live for, play for, die for
Please don't make me die
I regret that I let you go today
The truth is not too good for me anyway
The rest is history, what will happen you will see
Before you let I once cry
If I kept my sweetest deal where you're a smile, the emptiness is my living hell, I'd still see you around, when I smile I still hear the sound
It was nothing at all, but I'm tempted by life, oh Lord
Picked up the pieces and tried a new start, self-hating me and his guarded arm
When I left, he didn't say goodbye to me, wasn't strange, I was tied up and left, but I still wear your smile
The emptiness is my living hell, I'd still see you around, when I smile I still hear the sound
It was nothing at all, but I'm tempted by life, oh Lord
I believed everything you told me, and I was all to you all this time
It was great, it was me, and I would know everything, I was not such a kind
You were there every night in my side, listening to everything that came from my head
And all your words, all your thoughts, to a single, I would stick with what's next in my bag
And everything you told me was lies, lies, lies, and now I can't believe my own eyes
I cry and every day I'm just a walking line of slides, and every time I do this to my heart, it dies, it dies
You keep me warm, keep me sane, be with me all my life, listen to all my cries
'Cause every night, every fight, every time we were saved, every look deep in my eyes
Think of me, think of you, we were once every now, one last kiss tonight
And all this time I was blind, I still cried, but I don't know if I'll ever get to this
Love, shot, kiss, miss, fear, stand
And everything you told me was lies, lies, lies, and now I can't believe my own eyes
I cry and every day I'm just a walking line of slides, and every time I do this to my heart, it dies, it dies
And I believed everything you told me, and I was always here to draw this time
It was great, it was faint, I would know everything, I was at such a rhyme
You were there every night at my side, listening to everything that came from my head
And all your words, all your thoughts, do the same, well I would sting, 'cause I sit in my bag
Love, shot, kiss, miss, fear, stand
And everything you told me was lies, lies, lies, and now I can't believe my own eyes
I cry and every day I'm just a walking line of slides, and every time I do this to my heart, it dies, it dies
So what do you think? Sounds like a GarageBand, no? Has that GarageBand kind of energy.
On this Memorial Day, I got some pictures from my grandkids. They were over in the Netherlands.
My son-in-law works for the State Department. And they were out there planting flags on the grave sites of the soldiers out there in the Netherlands.
It just kind of dawned on me that they're getting a better education about Memorial Day than I ever received in the Chicago Public School System.
But it was kind of a sobering sight, you see these little children carrying all these flags.
I mean, it was like a lot of flags and a lot of grave sites out there.
And they were just in there doing their thing for the embassy out there in The Hague.
This is a Value for Value music podcast. I'm also on episode number 95, running count up to 100.
Will I make it to 100? I don't know. But you need a Modern Podcast app to participate.
Go to modernpodcastapps.com or go to my website, satsandsounds.com, where I have links to Castamatic, Fountain Podcast, Guru, Podverse, Curio, Castor, Podfriend, and TrueFans.
And you get one of these Modern Podcast apps. You can load up the wallet with some satoshis.
You need to learn what satoshis are.
And what you do is, while you're listening, you stream Bitcoin micro payments, satoshis or sats, to the artists as the song plays.
And when each song changes, when the track changes, the wallet changes, so your sats go to the artist.
And on this show, 95% of everything that you send in goes to the artist.
So get yourself a Modern Podcast app and participate in this brand new, well, it's almost two years now, brand new medium of Value for Value music.
You can also do something called sending a boost. That's where you send a few extra sats. You hit the boost button in the app.
Or you send a boost to Gramm. That's where you send extra sats along with a message.
And from the last week, we got some boost to Gramm's.
Some boosts, 777 sats from Gagglepot, which I had to look that up. It's Kyle Bondo of Floan Hour fame, another music podcast by TrueFans.
And I asked him a question on TrueFans, but he didn't answer me, so I'm not sure.
Because TrueFans did not send the information over on my helipad about what song that you were listening to at the time.
But I think it was during the whip by Fable. And he says, "Well, I love the vibe of this song. Heard it on Sats and Sounds.
Got 100 sats from the NMNU New Music Nudge unit by Mountain during 'A Thousand Kisses' by the 54 Plates.
They say thanks for playing our newest band in the Valueverse. 'A Thousand Kisses' by the 54 Plates is their first track in the Valueverse.
Fun fact, Nathan Abbott plays guitar in this band too."
Didn't know that until I copy and pasted that on over.
So I was yammering on too long and I've run out of music on this break.
So we are continuing on with "Let 'Em Riot" and "Something Real."
[Music]
Getting tired all the time
Passion never lasts, I tell myself
I've got nowhere else to be
Keep me becoming someone else
There's a sign above the window
Out of business, everything must go
You could be my something real
Just save me
Yeah, won't you just save me
The way you look so absolute
And when you call my name so meaningful
Leave it all behind with you
Enjoy the comfort in the ritual
I could keep searching for a reason
But I fear I'm just wasting time
You could be my something real
Just save me
Yeah, won't you just save me
[Music]
Just save me
Yeah, won't you just save me
Just save me
Yeah, won't you just save me
[Music]
Wake me up, I don't want to sleep anymore
Velvet lungs, pins my tongue, gold soil
You don't see me like you used to
All these drugs I've made will see through
All my doubts and imperfections should've carried on my chest
But I'm comfortable being numb with you anyway
Maybe I'm lost in a maze of time
Watching the years go by
Knowing I'll never be allowed to change your mind
I don't know how to control myself
I'm getting older, hell
I can't find myself alone inside my mind
I can't sleep, counting sheep for days
Liquid sway, lips afraid of time
She was a girl who cried confession
Chased her twice, then learned to miss you
Wild child with a silver tongue
Carried her heart like she carried a gun
But I'm comfortable being numb with you anyway
Maybe I'm lost in a maze of time
Watching the years go by
Knowing I'll never be allowed to change your mind
I don't know how to control myself
I'm getting older, hell
I can't find myself alone inside my mind
I don't know how to control myself
I can't show you
I can't see you
Even times could be
Losing my mind, I can't
Even times could be
Losing my mind, what then
I'm uncomfortable losing my mind again
I'm uncomfortable losing my mind
Maybe I'm lost in a maze of time
Watching the years go by
Knowing I'll never be enough to change your mind
I don't know how to control myself
I'm getting older, hell
I can't find myself alone
If you're still listening out there, Salty, he's got a podcast called Upbeats
and I added you guys to my pod roll.
So just for your information, here's Jawbone and Paper Scissors Stone.
Paper Scissors Stone
I find myself here alone again
It was never a game to me
But you were playing the best of three
I tried to keep the score
You always got a whole lot more
I never quite worked it out
But I always had my doubts
It's just a game to you
You're a saint climbing up that ladder
There's a name for you
You're never there when it really matters
You never ever lost the part
'Cause I'll always lose my heart
My heart
Nights across this tic-tac-toe
You always win no matter where you go
It was different when we were young
Now you've found another way to have your fun
I knew you cheated when we were kids
But now it's harder to forgive
You choose to live your life
Just by rolling dice
It's just a game to you
You're a snake climbing up that ladder
There's a name for you
You're never there when it really matters
You never ever lost the part
I'll always lose my heart
My heart
[Instrumental]
I stand up to walk away
I throw my cards down and say
I can't play this game alone
So won't you come back home
I tried to give and take
And bear the rules before they break
Now I know that you can't leave
'Cause God is up my sleeve
It's just a game to you
You're a snake climbing up that ladder
There's a name for you
You're never there when it really matters
You never ever lost the part
It's just a game to you
You're a snake climbing up that ladder
There's a name for you
You're never there when it really matters
You never ever lost the part
I'll always lose my heart
My heart
So when I was talking about pod rolls
In the modern podcast apps
There's something, if they enable the feature
There's something called a pod roll
And you can add other podcasts that you listen to
Or podcasts that you recommend
So I don't know why I didn't do it before
I put in my other lame podcasts in there
Into this one
So just this week I changed it
So I put in there four different music podcasts
Upbeats by Salty Crayon
Lightning Thrashes by Sir Libre
Mountain Music Happy Hour by Randy Black
And Flonar from Kyle Bondo
Which I read about his boost earlier
So if you're in one of those apps
You can just click on the pod roll thing
And you can find their podcasts very easily
Getting back to the boosts
I got 2000sats from Rock and Roll Break Heart
Via Podverse with NoNote
And then another 2000sats from Rock and Roll Break Heart
Via Podverse
He says "Catching up! I wear my Sats and Sounds T-shirts all the time!"
Thanks dude!
And as I drive across the country
And I drive multi-state at least three times a year
I've got the stickers from Rock and Roll Break Heart
And I stick those up in the most random places
So hopefully you're getting some listens from those
Got another 333sats from NMNU
Which is a new music nudge unit via Fountain
They say "Big up to Kevin Bay for playing Fable's song 'The Whip'
Thanks to shows like yours, new talented bands can get global discovery
A band from Essex and Manchester

Moving forward we've got freshly rendered bits
From Ivy Loomy and Berliner Luft
Hope I pronounced that correctly
They say I'm lost, I'm barely walking
Don't know where I am or where I'm going
It's so strange, the air flows like nowhere else
And it's never enough for fun
After sunset before sunrise
This is your life
I'm afraid
This is your life
I'm afraid
This is your life, I'm barely visiting
Have you ever held onto my story?
Would you agree?
The air runs like nowhere else
I can't even tell anymore
If you taste like a minty brass wand
A bittersweet
Please share
How rewarding, how real
I get to meet the devil himself
This is your life
A bittersweet
Please share, this is your life
A bittersweet
Please share
This is your life
This next artist, if this is your real name, it's a very unique name
Kavi Anointen
Never, I mean that's such a weird combination
I shouldn't say that, it's your name
And it's your song "You"
Yeah, yeah
Which kind of life I've never seen before
Which kind of love I've never felt before
I stand high, don't wanna see me fall
Deep in love it's like a trip to gold
You're high in my mind, I cannot let you go
Love is blindly the way I go
Be so smart, no good to be alone
And you defy the laws of my mind, yeah
And if you are the one for me, yeah
Why would you make yourself available
That kind of love I go show, yeah
You make me wanna laugh so much, yeah
And if you are the one for me, yeah
Why would you make yourself available
That kind of love I go show, yeah
You make me wanna laugh so much, yeah
You, you
You'll be the only one I've been searching for
You, you
Feeling sick baby, you'll be my girl
You, you
If I'm missing out what you'll see no more
You, you
Yeah, yeah
You, you
You'll be the only one I've been searching for
You, you
Feeling sick baby, you'll be my girl
You, you
If I'm missing out what you'll see no more
You, you
Girl, tell me why
You told me that you have the same feeling tonight
I, oh why
Now it's so far from me
Can't see you, feel you, touch you, kiss you tonight
But the feeling is so right for me, yeah
Please
Be mine
That would feel alright for me, yeah
If you are the one for me, yeah
Why would you make yourself available
That kind of love I go show, yeah
You make me wanna laugh so much, yeah
Girl, I call up
You make me call up
Take a photo and send it to me
And then you where you are
And send it where you are, yeah
You, you
You'll be the only one I've been searching for
You, you
Feeling sick baby, you'll be my girl
You, you
If I'm missing out what you'll see no more
You, you
Yeah, yeah
You, you
Walk away, walk away, walk away
I'm beating you out
Walk away, walk away
Getting up, start thinking about you
You, you
Oh
And now for something completely different
This band is called Leader Fuzzy
At least that's how I read it
And the song is called Dicker Dicker
Nigger Kuss
And I had to look this up, it's German
And I guess there was some candy
Some chocolate confection called Nigger Kuss
And it became sort of a racial slur
Because it's "Nigger" meaning "Nigro"
And I guess the rest of it was to do with the candy
Go figure
Many, many years ago
No idea which day
A weakness in me started
The pleasure I was
Not noble spirit, but blue stupidity
Beautiful sounds or art of love
Nothing is more a pleasure to me
Than a dicker
Nigger Kuss
Crispy baked, top with a classic pattern
A waffle plate, round and fine
Which is lying at the feet of the snow
White foam, lovely and tender
Swaying, heavy, loose to the top
From crunchy, tender, melt to the top
Sometimes with, sometimes without
Coat, without seam, except from below
Chocolate glaze in symphony
Lovely foam on golden waffle
Who knows you, never forget
Dicker, Dicker, Nigger Kuss
Airy, light, look and pleasure
Surrounded by tender chocolate
I never get enough of you
Dicker, Dicker, Nigger Kuss
High point of tender pleasure
What would be more satisfying
Are many, many, Nigger Kusses
Sometimes I get a desire
Endless, big like space and time
Can be alone, only silent
With foam, sweet sensibility
This airy, light treat
I can hardly resist
Since my childhood
I can't get over it
As I used to say, I say today
Love full, not provocative
Nigger Kuss and Nigger Kisses
There is nothing negative about it
Dicker, Dicker, Nigger Kuss
Airy, light, look and pleasure
Surrounded by tender chocolate
I never get enough of you
Dicker, Dicker, Nigger Kuss
High point of tender pleasure
What would be more satisfying
Are many, many, Nigger Kisses
I totally support Nigger Kisses
Whether big, small, dark or bright
Is the package open for the first time
I eat them quickly
Dicker, Dicker, Nigger Kuss
Airy, light, look and pleasure
Surrounded by tender chocolate
I never get enough of you
Dicker, Dicker, Nigger Kuss
High point of tender pleasure
What would be more satisfying
Are many, many, Nigger Kisses
By the way, I like...
I think they're lamenting the loss of names
Names of products like here where we renamed the Angemima
Pancake Syrup and took the Land O'Lakes lady
Off the package
I guess they didn't like losing the name
I don't know when it happened
I looked it up and I just don't remember
Interesting song, very passionate about the Nigger Kuss
