Nine People Can't Come Up With A Name For This Episode

Today is a very special episode of Ignorant Bliss with Dave and Adam and Leah. Why is that? There's no Dave. Or Leah. Its complete and total ANARCHY!

Episode 15- Nine People Dont Know What To Call This Episode.mp3 - Josh And Adam And James

This week, Adam had special guest hosts James Higgins and Josh VanHooydonk on the show, and the change was hardly noticeable. Josh and James would also like all you lovely people who use Facebook to know about this group.

The Most Listened To This Week was pretty all over the place. Unfortunately, time constraints meant that only Adam's got played (he has that kind of power).

Josh's Most Listened To: Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Die- 4 Year Strong
James' Most Listened To: Love Graffiti- Afternoon Zero
Adam's Most Listened To: Cola Bottle Baby- Edwin Birdsong

The episode this week was different than the other episodes (other than the complete lack of the two other people in the show's name). Not a lot of time was spent talking about movies. The guys definitely talked about music a fair bit. Adam decided that this episode would be about sampling in music, both in rap music, and in other genres. Josh was quite the font of knowledge about rap music, and provided valuable information about current rap music.

Adam talked a whole bunch about artists that have sampled (for example M.I.A., Vanilla Ice, Daft Punk, Justice, and many more), and he also talks about the songs that they have sampled.

James and Adam reminisce of seeing Say Anything at the Vans Warped Tour last summer, and James offered up a delightful story about homelessness in the Detroit area while attending another Say Anything concert, and Josh spoke of elderly rage outside of a concert hall waiting for an Atreyu concert.

Adam played a bevy of songs on this episode. Wonder what they are? Wonder no more!
Sunny- Boney M.
Cola Bottle Baby- Edwin Birdsong
Mathemateam- Mathematikal
Stand On The Word- The Joubert Singers
I Love You More- George Duke

Also, the song that Will Smith used in "Wild Wild West" was "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder.
Also, check out PartyBen. He's worth it.

Adam spoke quite a bit about this band. They're absolutely fantastic, he says. They are a band that has the largest amount of the most recognizable disco songs ever. They have been the inspiration for artists to sample or come up with ideas based on their songs, and Adam can't say enough good things about them.

Video Of The Week time!
Check it out!



Here's that video that James and Josh were talking about.
And here are those very very cute cat videos that Adam was talking about. Also, check out this lady. Will you ever be as cool as her?

The Song For The Lovers this week is a bit of a mystery. E-mail ignorantbliss@live.ca with your answer to this question. "What song (and band) samples this song?" Don't look it up. Use your ears. The song is: I Love You More by George Duke.

Ignorant Bliss Episode 13- The Ghosties!!!!

Hey everyone! Ignorant Bliss is back after the Christmas break with a brand new season. Its Ghosties time!

The gang managed to get some pretty big names to headline the musical portion of the show.
Dave got The BOSS himself! Bruce Springsteen!

Leah managed to revive Jimi Hendrix for a little while.

Adam even managed to get Phil Collins and Bloc Party to collaborate!

Listen to it right now!

Episode 13- The Ghosties.mp3 - Ignorant Bliss With Dave And Adam And Leah

Listen to the upsets! The surprises! The everything! Laugh at Jack Black while he eats steak!

Also, the band that showed up WASN'T the band that was booked. Where Adam introduced the Love Unlimited Orchestra, the band they had originally booked was Young Holt Unlimited. Must've been the "Unlimited" that caused the confusion.

Episode 13- The Ghosties

A Christmassy Bliss!

Hey everyone! We here at Ignorant Bliss would like to extend to you our warmest holiday wishes.

This is what I (Adam) have to say: "It BETTER be a merry Christmas, or else I'll have to start cracking some heads around here..."
Leah says this: "Christmas? I think I read about it during my studies as a fourth year English major. Its alright."
Dave has this wonderful message for all the world's children: "Fuck."

NOTE: All of these were thought up by me. Adam. This of course is my interpretation of their thoughts and feelings on the subject of Christmas. I'm probably right, though.

ANYWAYS. Everyone go to Cullen Live!

Episode 12- Nicole Kidman Works But Once A Year

This is the FINAL EPISODE of SEASON ONE OF Ignorant Bliss with Dave and Adam and Leah! You can listen to it right here!

Episode 12- Nicole Kidman Works But Once A Year (NC) - Dave And Adam And Leah

Season two begins January 8th, 2009!

Episode 12 is chock full of goodies. What do Dave and Adam and Leah talk about? All sorts of things!

They talk about their Most Listened To Song Of The Week, for instance:
Adam's Pick: Tombstone- The Midnight Juggernauts
Leah's Pick: Girl On The Wing- The Shins
Dave's Pick: Life On Mars??- David Bowie

Moving swiftly from the Most Listened To, Dave regales Adam and Leah with a tale of a far away land called "Australia", and of its king and queen. It sounds like a wonderful place.

Now the gang goes into uncharted territory. They talk about TELEVISION! Leah talks about the David Duchovny show "Californication", but mainly they talk about their three favourite shows. Someone cheats. Guess who (David).

Dave's favourite television shows: Six Feet Under, Father Ted, Pushing Daisies, AND The Office. AND Extras!

Leah's favourite television shows: The Office, Lost, and Firefly
Adam's favourite television shows: Dexter, The Office, and multiple children's shows, such as Eureka's Castle, Reading Rainbow, Today's Special, and all those other lovely shows.

The Video Of The Week is semi-Christmas themed. Well, its directed by Tim Burton, and he likes snow. So there it is. Also, its an amazing song.

Episode 11 of Ignorant Bliss with Dave and Adam and Leah is missing something. Leah. She's in France, setting things in motion. She'll be back next week with tales of wonder.

This week, Dave and Adam went with a cocktail theme, musically. The music they chose really represented an era when theft was an art.

The Most Listened To This Week was:
Dave's Pick: Mushaboom- Feist
Adam's Pick: Barato Total- Gal Costa
Leah's Pick: Aguas De Marco- Antonio Carlos Jobim

Dave and Adam then spent a large portion of time disussing movies. Adam watched (in no particular order) My Name Is Bruce, A Cross The Universe, and Mulholland Drive. Dave watched (in no particular order) Tropic Thunder: The Director's Cut and Wall-E, not to mention the essential Cable Guy, with Jim Carrey. Leah didn't watch anything. She was busy.

And now it comes to the heist. Dave and Adam detail at length their plans for pulling off the biggest heist in history ever. Lets just say it involves the Louvre. And Spanish buyers. This intricate scheme will be pulled off most cunningly, with nary a hint of a problem. In fact, many of the events in the "Ocean's" movies were inspired by David and Adam's actions. That lady behind the counter won't even see it coming....... what?

Neither David NOR Adam mentioned the Video Of The Week because, well, it goes without saying that this is possibly the funniest video ever:



The Song For The Lovers this week finished the theme of cocktail music in the best way possible, thanks to the Charlie Steinmann Orchestra with "It Is Such A Good Night".
