24 | White Girl Spring: the Quarterly Pop Girl Run-Up // Maren>>HAIM>>Aly+AJ>>Ariana>>JoJo>>Tate + More
Buckle up, loders - spring has sprung and we have a pack of wildflower pop girlies all making their first moves on the Summer 2025 chess board. Alec is back for the quarterly unpack. We start by catching up on the life and times of the Albuquerque gay men's chorus, check-in on some of our 2024 main girlies Muni Long and Jade, and finally stretch out under spring 2025's Teletubby sun where the cabbage patch is all coming up alt pop white girls.

23 | Mariah ch.1 BONUS - The Grunge Album + The Tokyo Dome
*** A BONUS ***BEFORE we leave the early+mid 90s ... did you know Mariah wrote and recorded A GRUNGE album simultaneously to Daydream? AND it’s on YouTube? Before there was Hannah Montana, there was Chick, and Mariah. Elusive chanteuse indeed - at the pique of both her personal life frustrations, and her commercial and vocal prime, Mariah took solace in living a double life: secret grunge wailer, and pop songstress at the Tokyo Dome (often hailed as one of the greatest concerts of her career.)

22 | THE MARIAH CAREY DIVA DIVE - CHAPTER 1: 1990-1996
The reason the Diva Dive was born - the elusive chanteuse, the woman with 19 #1s as an artist and 18 as a writer - the head Butterfly AND Lamb - and the former title holder for longest running #1 on the billboard charts: Long Island's own, Mariah Carey.Before smartphones and the ubiquitous internet, before auto-tune and lip-syncing ran amuck, 1990-1996 Mariah defied all the rulebooks by writing and singing her way to the top. From Vision of Love to One Sweet Day, let's cover the diva's most Olympic of vocal seasons, bringing her into her prime as a global vocal talent. I explain the vocal mechanics and techniques that set her apart as well as explore how a voice like Mariah's reminds us all to connect to our throat chakra.

19 | WICKED PART 1 // \\ REACTION PART 1
My pulse is rushing // My head is reeling // My face is flushing /// What is this feeling? Fervid as a flame .... does it have a name? WI-CKED!! WI-CKED!!! ....WIIII - CKKED Yes folks. It's good to [hear] me, isn't it? What a time to be alive: the Wicked soundtrack and film have dropped, and we need to talk - as much as we need to hold space. Today, it's not just me: we have the EAR LODER DEBUT of friend-of-the-podcast, Wicked super-fan, Boston vocal idol, and one of my bffs, Joe Pratolongo. Join us in dissecting the lore, the adaptation, the updates, the opt-ups, the vocal producing + comping, the arranging, and the cinematographic choices in Wicked Pt. 1, in our own Pt. 1 of 2 (because no, 1 hour was not enough.)

17 | the autobiographical episode no one asked for
Somehow, it's been 4 months since my last upload. Also - hey - Alex, here. Welcome back; and welcome anew, to Ear Lode. Ready for your first?I wanted to take a different approach to this "comeback" moment and share, in addition to some music, some of my personal 2024. I have barely edited this ep; it's a raw take, scarcely outlined and delivered organically (still up to 40% GMO). I think some of this approach may, as they say, stick.If you are here for the fun music vibes only, go right ahead and take a pass on this one. Your next ear lode always awaits.Included music:- Freedom: Jordan Rakei- Bitter Melon: Cola- Lately: Rufus Du Soul- Coldstar.: Gallant
