episode 5 of the cast where our boys ask "what makes a hit hit?" we wanna know why music is so bumping. so we're going through all of it. year by year. bar by bar. chord by chord. word by word. inaugural test episode of this concept. first of many to come. what becomes of the broken hearted by jimmy ruffin, from 1966. enjoy babies xoxo doodle we made of song structure: https://imgur.com/uav6OjD

we're back with another edition of hit disciples where we analyze the 1959 flamingos hit "only have eyes for you." it's a dope song. and we have fun. compare and contrast it to last week's "what becomes" and theorize what chord "YOU" is. taking a break from depressing discussions of classical music, but don't worry. those will be back soon. for now enjoy! link to our messy stupid analysis scribbled on some random paper: https://imgur.com/4egGyrz

we have a nice discussion on opposite day about if genres are changing. and what they used to be. and what they are now. and what they are becoming. and the death of rock coinciding with the rise of hip hop and that that's not nothing. hit disciples back soon.

hit disciples is back with a club banger from the buena vista social club presents ibrahim ferrer. it's called bruca manigua and it's the first non-english song we've done. it's also the first one where we objectively suck at understanding what's happening and struggle a lot. so enjoy listening to us sound dumb. skip to about 1:09:45 to get past the part where we suck at hearing music. pics of our analysis: https://www.instagram.com/deadheirrecords/ follow, subscribe, like, comment, stay tough xoxo

i hope ya'll like the 80s. hit disciples is back and we talk about the pointer sister's song "automatic." 1983 hit that revels in the joy of giving up caring about important things so that you can become a capitalist party robot. we all should be so lucky. pics of our analysis can be found on our ig: https://www.instagram.com/deadheirrecords/

it's opposite day again and we switched table sides once more to talk about the music bidness. we come at from the angle of "what is a platform" for music in this day and age and why most of them suck. then we tell you want we want you as bad as uncle sam wants young american men. join us, send us your tracks, and talk to us. we want your opinions and your music real bad. happy thursday. new hit disciple next week. xoxo deadheirrecords

hit disciples is back with the last podcast of 2017 and we analyzing "heart of glass" by blondie from the 1978 album parallel lines. we're talking bout what makes hits hit, and why this song bugs us but makes us happy still. and how the there's nice parallels between the lyrical idea of deception and the constant duality of the structure, harmony, and rhythm in this hit. there's two versions of everything in this damn song. it's cool. link to our ig where the analysis for this is posted: https://www.instagram.com/deadheirrecords/ follow us. get at us. let us know if u love it, hate it, what we missed, and want you want us to look at. happy 2017 y'all. it's been fun. xoxo deadheirrecords also shoutout to dave.

i'm not gonna say the name of the song we analyze cuz i feel like it increases the likelihood of some algorithmic robot finding us and killing us. like the squiddies in the matrix. remember them? but this might be our last soundcloud podcast if we get flagged for copyright, so keep us in yr prayers. also a funny podcast about hip hop where we screw up a lot, but are very emotional cuz we love the song so much. do not worry if we disappear. we will never die and will figure out how to come back. thx for all the support. xoxo deadheirrecords

hit disciples is back with special guest: anonymous # 3!!! who joins us with a nice cute song of their choice. we talk about where home is. and i repeat many a time that the cantina band from star wars is evoked in this song. and macklemore sucks. and hey we're still here and not taken down yet so long live dead heir records may she die again a hundred times!!! hit us up with what you think of our analysis and send us your song requests! deadheirrecords@gmail.com and follow the ig: https://www.instagram.com/deadheirrecords/ falcon PUNCHHHHH xoxo

it's a party in the bronx and we've stuffed a bunch of people into our little room to record a group hit disciple that our boy matt requested--we talk harmonic shop, and then conversation devolves into sexuality, boy bands, 90s vulnerability, and whatever else we can think of. special thanks to isaac and matt for showing up and recording with us. check out their music at https://matthewschneeman.bandcamp.com/, https://hevysyrup.bandcamp.com/, and art stuff here: https://www.isaacmann.com/produce ig with cute pics from the ep: https://www.instagram.com/deadheirrecords/ xoxo enjoy everybody

hit disciples back and we analyze a song we love way too much. lucki's "count on me" from the chicago rapper's 2013 album "alternative trap." he was 16 when he made this track. that's nuts. we lose our minds about how good it is for like 2 hours. and we saw you all liked our last hiphop episode, so we hope you like dis one too. we talk about how music stresses us out, giant beach balls, child prodigies, and much much more. links to our ig here: https://www.instagram.com/deadheirrecords/ i also notated a 26 page score of this song as best as i could, and if u want it email me at deadheirrecords@gmail.com for a copy. lucki's sound cloud: https://soundcloud.com/boob7 and ig: https://www.instagram.com/deadboylife/?hl=en hytman's ig: https://www.instagram.com/prod_by_hytman/ these guys r legends give them some love please xoxo happy thursday everybody deadheirrecords

it's groundhog day. and in the spirit of lowering the bar even further, we don't even talk about music. we dig deep in the archives of our recording sessions back to when we first bought our mics to bring you a conspiracy theory as that runs as deep as the darkest burrow. please come and celebrate a dead heir birthday and the greatest holiday of the year with us. back to our regularly scheduled programming next week. thanks for sticking with us everyone. here's to a long winter. directed by dick wolf xoxo happygoundthog day.

the boys speak to classical music guilt and how we've dealt with it. we go back to the roots of our evil and try to figure out where it all started, and how it fueled us through juilliard. then we address a bigger issue--that of the ghosts of composers haunting all of us. we establish a glenn gould fan club and talk about his great relationship with guy fieri. but most of all we want to hear from you and know if this hits close to home. because we might just be guilt ridden little shits. but it would be nice to hear if we're not. oh all music is live performances by us btw xoxo dead heir records

so we analyzed a song none of us like. as an experiment. to see if it would make us like it. it didn't. not gonna mention its title because there's a very good chance it gets taken down. we might be a little hard on this song, but you know what? anthony kiedis has $120 million according to some google in 2012, so he can handle 3 boys making fun of them in their spare room in the bronx. thanks to our special guest for joining us once again--listen to his other episode on the talking heads a few pods back! we don't like white boy soft rock funk rap punk jam music from the early 2000's. back to songs we actually do like next week. hopefully this doesn't get us taken down. pray for us. xoxo happy thursday deadheirrecords

we talk about an old favorite song by leonard cohen called "suzanne." and we get really confused by the weird ass switch from 6/8 to 4/4 in the beginning of the song. and then we theorize about pronouns in music and what they mean in this day and age. what happened to the chorus that makes up our chorus? who is you and who am i in a love song? do i really love any of you? does anyone really love me? leave us a rating and a review if you like us it means a lot and helps a bunch >:) xoxo deadheirrecords

we like video games. and we like video game music. so we each picked a good track of video game music to talk about. they are ninja gaiden: act 3 part 1, sonic 3: angel island act 2, and neir automata: memories of dust. if you all like video games too, you should go check out 8bit music theory: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeZLO2VgbZHeDcongKzzfOw which was a big inspiration for the channel. our lil analysis can be found on our ig: https://www.instagram.com/deadheirrecords/ shoot us a message if you like video games and music. and tell us why. and tell us your lyrics for your favorite games. and remember we don't want the devil but we NEED the devil xoxo
