21. Five Dollar Couch - Part One

This month Scot turns his sights to a couch he got in college for only five dollars. Why was this so huge and how can we get from pleasant memories about a couch to a quest to make music?   It's since AI music has become much more common that Scot now needs to be a little more self-sufficient in his music sourcing needs. To be more sure of it all being sometimes significantly flawed human creation.   Join Scot on a fraught-filled path that brings him in contact with a whip salesman, and two music podcasters from New York, Nick and Jon, who lend a hand with the quest this time. How does a story about a Five Dollar Couch lead to a foolish musical quest and an 8 foot long leather whip? Listen in to find out.   Webpage for the episode with pictures and links! https://perfectshowpodcast.com/21-five-dollar-couch-part-one/ Part one of two. —--------- Pearshall Couch Link https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/sectional-sofas/1960s-spanish-revival-modular-sectional-sofa/id-f_41439752/ https://www.instagram.com/p/C_RmCFWvH_i https://www.pinterest.com/pin/448741550388744571/   Nick and Jon Make a Song https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nick-and-jon-make-a-song/id1805865811   David Hilowitz Bontemi Chord Organ Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAxjF-viqAI   Music from this episode by: Shawn Korkie - https://www.fiverr.com/shawnkorkie Isehgal - https://www.fiverr.com/isehgal Yashchaware  Raghav - https://www.fiverr.com/trappy808_ Dony Larsan - https://www.fiverr.com/dony_larsan Aandy Valentine – https://www.fiverr.com/aandyvalentine

20. Superman In 3 Pieces

This is an episode all about Superman, told through the lens of three different pieces of art. Scot picked 3 pieces that have been really special to him and others over the years, and talks about them and what makes them such good representations of the things that make Superman so special.   Scot looks at a page from All Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, a page of Superman For All Seasons by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, and a Superman sketch by Chris Samnee.   Scot talks Superman through comics, also touching on movies and tv, and celebrates what version of Superman is so special to him. Then Scot interviews Liam Burke about the piece of Superman art that he owns, and Scot attempts to use his own x-ray vision to try and see what's at the center of this nearly 90 year old character.   All Star Superman Page: https://bit.ly/SupermanPiece1   One of many posts about that page: https://www.comicsbeat.com/dc-round-up-how-one-page-from-all-star-superman-saved-my-life/   Superman For All Seasons Page: https://bit.ly/SupermanPiece2 Chris Samnee Superman Drawing: https://bit.ly/SupermanPiece3 Webpage with all the images and more: https://perfectshowpodcast.com/20-superman-in-3-pieces/   Liam Burke | Swinburne University: https://experts.swinburne.edu.au/1709-liam-burke   Check out Liam Burke's book Superheroes Beyond here: https://www.amazon.com/Superheroes-Beyond-Cormac-McGarry/dp/1496850106   Movie Friends Superman 2025 Episode: https://pod.link/1662559445/episode/a55f2d8a1ee96ac66cf744094e7b785e   Cover Lover Podcast: https://pod.link/1718482750   Chris Pecoraro's Full Superman (2025) Guitar Music: https://youtu.be/OG5w80Fp8e0   Luca Giannotti's Superman (1978) Guitar Music: https://youtu.be/dKc1Q14UVlA Music from this episode by: Shawn Korkie - https://www.fiverr.com/shawnkorkie Luca Giannotti - https://www.fiverr.com/lucagiannotti Chris Pecoraro - https://www.fiverr.com/cpecoraro18 Brrrrravo - https://www.fiverr.com/brrrrravo Bastereon - https://www.fiverr.com/bastereon Komiku – https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Komiku Aandy Valentine – https://www.fiverr.com/aandyvalentine
