Dug By Us

It's another show packed with mostly positive vibes. "I think that's the perfect soundtrack for this pretty drab winter. I think it's a nice escape for us this week. " Which song is Cassie referring to here? Hopefully it's one you like too. She isn't crazy...... MUCH! Brace for a mighty angry rant from her! "I'm bloody over it. I'm sick of rules. I'm sick of getting fresh air with a mask on my fac...

Dancing in the kitchen. So much fun. You will please me, damn it! Hope you're feeling OK. We're not as sad as it sounds like we might be in parts of this, but times are tough in Melbourne - to quote Cassie, everything is not cool. But we're here to help each other. We have a private Facebook group now, search Dug By Us and join in with us. This week Cassie claims someone is the Freddy Mercury of o...

The episode that made Cassie feel like a little girl at Christmas! So excited. I think she wants a pony. We don't deliver a pony in this 11 minute audio piece but we do discuss some incredible songs. 4 from probably 4 mutually exclusive genres. I love that about Dug By Us. Even the first 2 we review today - from IDLES and Jack Garratt - they weren't exactly from each others' go-to vibes, but the r...

From having a tangent 20 seconds in, we kept this baby on the rails... for at least the next 6 minutes. Train wreck declared. "It's like I just stole your little lunch", Cassie exclaims, laughing at an obviously wounded Chris. Earlier Cassie thanked all those responsible for the music: "I am so filled with joy whenever I put the headphones in to my ears, and it's just a really great time because w...

Gee wiz. How much caffeine is too much? We're assured it's not a police matter. Don't patronize me. Is hole a naughty word? Cassie's bedroom looks great now. She also lives in the gutter. The Beths, DMAs, My Morning Jacket, Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard all receive mentions but no nominations!! They go to Margo Price - with a song that isn't a nursery rhyme - and Holly Joyce, who may possibly need prote...

You can't wave - it's a podcast. Dug By Us brings you more new music reviews and recommendations, in less than the time it takes to walk to the café, wait for your coffee, then walk back. Many thank yous and many diversions in this. Cassie likes sucking lemons. She's a rebel with a cause: to bring some brand new new music to you. 2 news. Yes. You'll hear it here first! The show must go on. Her son...

Hopefully this feels like a nice, warm, dressing gown cuddle. Unless you're a badass in a leather jacket. (These references will make sense when you listen). Then have a lounge room dance party. Cassie has the sniffles and powers through like the boss she always is. Do you wanna move? Wanna dance? Get some trombone in to ya. Leon Bridges and Witchskull receive thumbs up for last week's songs - let...

This begins with Cassie bringing nothing but sunshine and positive well wishes. Then Chris goes *whack* with the rudeness. Boom. It's unbelievable to witness, really. Thanks so much to Cassie's pop, Patrick, for providing moral support as a rare audience member. What a legend. Off the top of our heads we can't remember if 2 new songs have been as dynamically opposed as these - but for that reason...

4 bangin' new song reviews in under 10 minutes - full value. Quotes you'll hear in this episode: How to pluck hairs out of your eye. The diggingest of diggest. I get excited; you get de-cited. I want to be housemates with them so I can borrow their clothes. We're just a bunch of fools. The Main Squeeze and The Merindas provided big ticks last week... how will the two new recommendations go? We hav...

Within the first minute Cassie says she deliberately ignores Chris and shuns his requests. Well ain't that great teamwork. Luckily this week was a rare display of respect and we move forward with camaraderie and an Iggy Pop-style lust for life. Thank you Miiesha for blessing us with your new album Nyaaringu. Thank you Nothing But Thieves for your 4 minutes of fun. We each give a shoutout to songs...

Apologies for Chris' mic quality! Hopefully you dig what he says. Hopefully you dig Cassie's singing too... listen out for that tasty little easter egg. If Muse weren't millionaires, what would they sound like? Which song should Nicki Minaj absolutely not perform? What will Ian's new name be? Who needs to shut up? All vital questions posed in yet another thrilling edition of Dug By Us. Like what y...

Who is she? You'll have to listen to discover the truth. OoOoOoOoh. So apparently the song Chris brought in last week had too much saxophone for Cassie to handle, even though she has a wardrobe packed with pink pastel. Either he needs to know where to draw the line, or Cassie needs to let the line breathe. You decide. Let us know @dugbyus. Also, 2 F bombs! It's full on here!!! Sorry Mum. We censor...

Alternative titles include: 1) "It's like moist, you know? You just know", or 2) "More Keith Richards than Moon", or 3) "I have to do what is in my heart". You can choose which you prefer. Sentimental or silly? What's your vibe this week? Well trust that there is a song in the Dug By Us playlist for you, no matter how you're feeling. There are some crackers recently. Today Voiid and Chitra receive...

There's some really joyous stuff in this and there's also whatever the hell Chris was on about when discussing the latest from The Used. Four awesome 2020 songs discussed, an internet drop out, and a potential permanent rift in the collaboration that may never heal. But it probably will. Because we love doing this and hope you do too. Honestly, we're still vibing on Sauti Sol ft. Soweto Gospel Cho...

Happy vibes to everyone. It was never in the plan, but somehow the last bit of this chat is dedicated to Mark Holden. Certainly it was Chris' time to get the sillies this week, and he meant no offence to any members of Blink 182, The Used, S Club 7, Josh Homme, Vanessa Amorosi or The Mamas & The Papas. 2 of them weren't mentioned in this episode. Birth Taxes Metallica Death. Like what you hear? Le...

Jeans are not comfortable! There, we said it. Throughout April, Chris + Cassie have rested the well-worn jeans and everyone's happier as a result. More tracksuit pants. More pyjamas. (Cassie's have Jimmy Barnes' face on them). Dim the lights, light a candle and get around the 4 songs we feature this week. The Datsuns get name-checked twice, even Gaga manages to pop her head back in here somehow. B...

Cassie sucks at French. She wore headphones in the bath. She has a pink water bottle. But she's not the only one providing personality in this thing... have you seen Chris' beard? (Apparently it's ginger!) Isolation is providing each of us with a justified opportunity to make a fashion mistake we will regret the rest of our lives. TAKE IT! He certainly is. Video calls? Shmideo Shmalls. Hope you li...

There is nothing wrong with wanting to dance in your lounge room and shake your butt and just have a really fun time. It doesn't matter if you dance a bit dorky or you're a bit goofy, because everyone's accepted. A wholesome message from Cassie there, which somewhat makes up for the vomit-tinged shade she threw Chris earlier on. Then he got a little salty. But it's all good. Hahaha this is the epi...

We've been recording these live on Instagram, so get involved there if you dare see our faces. Socially distant episode number 3. Mics working properly today! For the most part, we enjoy the songs the other suggests, although Chris is taking a huge risk with his choice this week. He believes he's reached a JPI, but we'll be the judge of that. Don't Go Outside! Our Spotify playlists are BOOOOMING....

\m/ Coz we got two devil references! \m/Straight up Chris would like to apologise for his audio quality... he somewhat failed 2nd attempt at home isolated recording. This was recorded while on Instagram Live, which was awesome, but we think he was distracted. We learnt Cassie has a rocket ship at her house, that in isolation we don't have to wear makeup, CAN grow beards, and that she officially ha...

Our first episode recorded in a socially distant world. EPISODE-19. Cassie raves about a song so much her hands were going bananas. Both of us were feeling the weight of the world and the more we spoke the brighter our moods became. Times are tough and the more positive vibes we spread, the more personal interaction we can make, we'll all be better for it. Even if things aren't face to face. We ca...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSIE. We recover from last week's mega-special Harts chat with a nice, quick, tight 18th episode. We go through new LPX and BATTS - not a lowercase letter to be seen. Get that spark in your eye. Like what you hear? Leave us a review, it helps us reach more listeners and find some fresh blood. Review: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dug-by-us/id1490210326 Want to crack a chat...

Joined by Harts, this is a mega special episode. Insight, passion, it's all music and it's all fascinating. Fresh off involvement with the record-breaking T20 Women's World Cup, reaching #5 in 2019's Hottest 100, new shows and new songs, Harts hooks right in to the Dug By Us vibe and we're all here for it. Like what you hear? Leave us a review, it helps us reach more listeners and find some fresh...

Less than 9 minutes. Get to the point! 3 songs to review and 2 to preview. And all things seem pretty positive, despite Cassie's husky asthma-affected voice. Prepare for blasphemy! Is Pomplamoose the new Hoobastank? Does Iggy Pop? All these questions and more answered within. We dig stuff. Do you dig stuff? Get that shovel and spread the glory far and wide. Like what you hear? Leave us a review, i...

Does Incubus sound like Incubus? Who do you sound like? Another special guest joins us today, so strap yourself in. More songs, more passion, and we may or may not have our first repeat artist! Thank you Tom Martin for sharing your opinions in this safe and wholesome environment. Warrnambool score their first mention so congratulations. Please send us any feedback - songs you're enjoying, what you...
