Lune The Pod

CONTENT WARNING: SUICIDE This week Nathaniel does a deep dive into the LTB song "Time Moves On". They talk bluntly about the dark thoughts they've had, and the different traumas that fed them. This is a frank and direct conversation about abuse and how that often leads to suicidal thoughts. Please, if you're thinking about harming yourself, talk to someone. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-...

This week Nathaniel speaks to the moment we dwell in. The dark and violent times, where The State, and Capital allow racist and corrupt police to wield violence to keep the machine we call America moving. They pull no punches as they plead with us all to not look away, and not accept the norm, but for us all to rage against the dying of the light. There is power in community. There is power in sol...

This week Nathaniel talks about the Squirrel Nut Zippers and how this odd jazz band was lumped into the neo-swing revival of the 90's, and was their doorway into the large complex world of jazz.

We're at it again!!!! This week Nathaniel takes a deeper dive into "Tequila Sunrise" off of Don't Give Up The Ship. They stumble through an explanation of how finding someone attractive doesn't mean you get to put that on them, or think they care. It's a messy explanation of some important and messy ideas.  Lune The Band:   https://lunetheband.bandcamp.com/ I Don’t Speak German:   h...

That is a long fucking title. This week Nathaniel talks about an interaction with a drunk guy in an Indianapolis bar, and how it show the symptoms of a disease in the hearts and heads of men in America (probably everywhere). They dig into the shit and talk about a lot of uncomfortable things, in a soft spoken, obscenity riddled, way that you've come to love. Then we all get to listen to a beautifu...

TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDAL THOUGHTS This week Nathaniel talks about guns. Why some folks may want to use them. How the government is probably not going to take them away, and what it means to own a firearm. There's talk about mental health, and suicidal thoughts. It's a frank talk about a thing that is built into White America. Then They talk about listening to folks in marginalized communities whe...

This week Nathaniel takes another dive into the dark waters of their younger self. Talking about the meaning behind the lyrics of the fastest LTB song to date.

This week Nathaniel is hijacked by a thought that leads to a memory from high school. They talk about it, the hardship of feeling alone in the wake of abuse, how that leads to the abused person doing shitty things themselves, and the importance of crying, of loving art, of talking about your feelings....and so much more. It's a rambling thing, which is how we fucking do it here on team LTB.  Also,...

TRIGGER WARNING: DESCRIPTIONS OF SEXUAL ABUSE, AND PHYSICAL ABUSE This week Nathaniel answers a listener question, which takes him back down the road of his childhood abuse. He doesn't get graphic, but it is discussed at length. Then a hard pivot to a couple of songs by the Nashville garage rock band Be Your Own Pet. It's a hard honest, and hopefully good episode. Lune The Band:   https://lun...

This week Nathaniel does a dive into the LTB song "Falling Off The Wagon" from 2011's Don't Give Up The Ship. It's a very honest look at a song that has some not great things to say about the person who wrote it (it was Nathaniel, Nathaniel wrote it). Nathaniel also briefly touches on some current events. Lune The Band:   https://lunetheband.bandcamp.com/ I Don’t Speak German:   https://...

This episode finds Nathaniel trying to explain whats happening in the land of Lune The Band, while also forgetting exactly what they're saying.

Also a brief discussion of where we are as a country.  Indiana Abortion Fund:  https://abortionfund...

This week Nathaniel talks about the now signed into law abortion ban in Indiana. What might change that, what almost certainly won't, and what we all need to be thinking about and doing.

This week Nathaniel talks about a couple of bands that he first got into in the mid 2000's and were a part of his departure from the metal scene he had been a part of, and into the Roots music scene he would strive to be in, the Old 97's and Those Darlin's.

The fucking world is a dumpster fire, and we all could use a few minutes to vibe out. This week Nathaniel plays a couple of songs that help him do just that. Short community update at the top of the episode, and just a brief bit about both bands, mostly, its music. Music is nice. Lune The Band:   https://lunetheband.bandcamp.com/ I Don’t Speak German:   https://idontspeakgerman.libsyn.co...

This week Nathaniel dives into 1995's smash hit Jagged Little Pill, specifically the song "Head Over Feet" and how it added to a decade of toxic messaging to men about how they should function in society.
