Welcome back to Constellation! This time around, the Brothers Moriarty welcome executive producer Dustin Furman and Punching Up co-host Gene Park. Gene waxes poetic about his concert-going experiences, and inquires about which live acts are best (and worst). Dustin keeps the music theme going with a deep-dive into our listening habits over the years, with a particular eye paid to the format we were using, whether tape, CD, MP3, or something else entirely. Dagan wants to know where our heads are at with advertising. Do we ever fall prey? What's some of our favorite advertising ever? Is the old-school era of advertising truly over? Finally, Colin gets into dream jobs, the employment we'd seek if we had complete control over our lives in every facet. Sure, our gigs now are awesome, but they can be even better...

I absolutely recommend seeing Korn live in concert. I’ve seen them twice, once with Breaking Benjamin as well…they absolutely kill it! They sound just as good in person as on record, with such good energy!

Hearing Dustin talk about Cornerstone really resonates with me. When people hear “Christian band” it’s usually met with negativity. But Underoath fucking rocks. Also a huge Relient K fan still to this day. Dustin, I also was playing shows starting in 8th grade in shitty post-hardcore bands. I feel like we’re kindred spirits. Always great to hear you talk about music.

Definitely recommend seeing Kendrick Lamar if you can Dustin. The Big Steppers was the most well-produced and choreographed concert I’ve seen.

Col, why wouldn’t someone ask you for advice? You’re level-headed and successful. “Uncle Gene…yes.” 😄 Gene with that 3-6-Mafia story. Adding more and more to his legendary book of tales.

Some of the best live acts are often musicians not known by the masses. Widespread panic, tedeschi trucks band, billy strings, govt mule, etc. I suppose it also depends on what you want. Some people really enjoy the “act” part with mega productions and theatrics like Taylor Swift etc. but going by just raw live music...some of the bands I listed are must see imo.

Woah Dustin sweet Dustin, stand DOWN! The Zune was fantastic and many of us miss it's greatness. 🥲

One of my favorite things about Iron Maiden is that all the guitarist play Strats. I love a Stratocaster, but you just don’t see it in metal from that generation. It’s awesome.

Loved the conversation about dream jobs. The way I've always thought about it is "your job should, at absolute minimum, allow you to enjoy your life in some way." For some people that comes through the job itself, but I think for a lot of people it's more about the idea of having enough time/money to do what you really like. My dad, for example, loves aviation, but quickly realized he didn't want to be a pilot (shitty hours, time away from family, etc), so he pursued a career as an ER physician (which he likes well enough) to ensure enough financial stability and time off to be a private pilot in his spare time. THAT's the true dream for a lot of people, I think—have a job that you don't mind + do what you love outside of work so it doesn't feel like a job = an enjoyable experience overall.

I feel like if you got Colin and Gene in the same room, Colin might just laugh himself to death.

Dustin, Thrice is on tour with a band called Holy Fawn, I urge you to check them out, quite a unique and incredible band.

We get a ton of pharmaceutical ads in EU, in fact they make the majority of tv and radio ads.

2023-06-14 12:40:48 One thing I find funny about advertisements is some commercials are so funny you forget what is being sold to you. One my best friend & I bring up all the time was a scene at a dinner & waitress brings a plate with a burger. Guy says, "I said no mayo" & waitress grabs the top bun & scrapes the mayo off with the table edge.
