Marc with a C is back! After his appearance on TaCD back in 2017, he’s rested, got a new album out, and he’s doing a pretty amazing podcast himself called Discography.
On this episode of Odd Numbers, we each chose a few songs to play, and a few more songs that speak to us at a lyrical level. You’ll get to know us both more (maybe too much?), so listen up!
And, if you want, support local indie musicians like Marc through his Patreon page.
Marc’s playlist from the show
- I Can See for Miles by The Who

Marc’s choice of lyrics
Robyn Hitchcock And The Egyptians
My Wife and My Dead Wife
My wife lies down on the beach
She’s sucking a peach
She’s out of reach
Of the waves that crash on the sand
Where my dead wife stands
Holding my hand
Now my wife can’t swim
But neither could she
And deep in the sea
She’s waiting for me
Japanese Breakfast
Till Death
Sing me to sleep, soothe this insomnia
Haunted dreams, stages of grief
Repressed memories
Anger and bargaining
Your embrace, healing my wounds
Teach me to breathe, teach me to move
PTSD, anxiety, genetic disease
Thanatophobia
Juliana Hatfield
There’s Always Another Girl
Boy genuises can be ugly and fat
But they don’t cut their girls any slack
Girls are advised to not think about the future or the past
It matters not where they came from or whether or not they endure
What matters is if they can make all heads turn
’cause there’s always another girl
Sloan
Fading Into Obscurity
And for that matter
This cake is baked but I much prefer the batter
Perhaps in part because it had so much potential
To be delicious and still be influential
Pete Townshend
The Sea Refuses No River
The sea refuses no river
Whether starving or ill
Or strung on some pill
Just ”cause you own the land
There’s no unique hand plugs the dam
The sea refuses no river
And the river is where I am
Nick’s playlist

Nick’s lyrics
Brother Ali
Forest Whitiker
You might think I’m depressed as can be
But when I look in the mirror I see sexy-ass me
And if that’s somethin that you can’t respect then that’s peace
My life’s better without you, actually
Frightened Rabbit
My Backwards Walk
I’m working on my faults and cracks
Filling in the blanks and gaps
And when I write them out they don’t make sense
I need you to pencil in the rest
The Mountain Goats
The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton
When you punish a person for dreaming his dream
Don’t expect him to thank or forgive you
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Will in time both outpace and outlive you
Aimee Mann
King of the Jailhouse
The king of the jailhouse
And the queen of the road
Think sharing the burden will lighten the load
So they pack up their troubles
In an old Cadillac
That’s her in the mirror, asleep in the back
David Byrne
The Great Intoxication
Who rocks out?
Who’s spaced out?
Who brings you?
Who sings you?
Who’s still workin’ on his masterpiece?
