It's another supplemental episode of Anima where it's just Eric and Jeff because Gus doesn't want to work the two extra episodes. Jeff doesn't know. Yeah. It's going really well and I got to say, Eric, I was about to tell you I really look forward to these supplemental episodes and I don't know why. And then it hit me when you said that Gus isn't in them.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think we talked about that before. It's not a dislike for Gus. It's just, you know, is a different thing and Gus isn't here. It's just, it's nice not to have to deal with his bullshit. The negativity, I think, is what we really zeroed in on.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I think when we went to Desinudo for a second time. Yeah. I tried going back to Desinudo. This is probably like a couple weeks ago or whatever, and it was just like mid-morning, I tried going back to Desnudo. This is probably like a couple of weeks ago or whatever. And it was just like mid-morning, whatever. Dude, the line was outrate.
Starting point is 00:01:11 I just, I looked at it and I never mind. And I left. It was crazy. Yeah, I love that place. But it's already a bit of a drive for me to get there and then a drive to get there in San Juan for a half hour. I am a double trouble guy now. That's become my new jam.
Starting point is 00:01:24 You know, I really like it. And you gave me another thing of beans, the double trouble blend, which I've been really, really on. And it's, man, it's so fucking good. That double trouble blend is so good. Typically, I'm not a blend guy. I don't really like, I like a single origin coffee,
Starting point is 00:01:42 but that blend feels like, oh, they figured out like two different kinds of coffees that marry like really well together. So it's really different. Yeah, I really love it. Really surprised. I'm impressed. I'm glad you liked it. That's great. Thank you. How how how's your how's your how's your last couple of weeks doing now that we're going to get back into Ann Mason? Good. Good. I, uh, I'm ready for, you know, in the background for the last year I've been in the process of getting married. I mean, it didn't take me a year to get married, but it takes a year to plan a wedding and to pay for it and all those things.
Starting point is 00:02:17 And so now that we're past that, I'm, I think Emily and I are both are very excited to slip back into regular life where you don't have that hanging over your head, you know? Yeah. And I feel like I can finally, like, relax and I'm really, really excited to slip back into regular life where you don't have that hanging over your head, you know? Yeah, and I feel like I can finally relax and I'm really, really excited to get back into all three podcasts because I feel like, even for the last six months, especially for the last three months, even though I was all in and loving everything I was making, I still had this impending wedding
Starting point is 00:02:41 and all the stress that that entails in the back of my head. And so I'm happy to be relieved of that pressure. Yeah. It's definitely a thing where it's not like it hindered our plans or anything. No, definitely a thing where it's like, oh, we can't do something this day. Jeff has his good taste cakes or, oh, we have to go get fitted for stuff or, oh, it's like, there's just like a lot of stuff like that where it's not, it's like, oh, okay, we just have to move dates. I just don't think we're gonna have to move dates very fast.
Starting point is 00:03:09 No, I mean, we'll have the holidays to contend with, but post that, I'm so excited to slip into a rhythm again. And it's not even like, it just occupied a spate, an amount of space in my brain, and my subconscious, and sometimes conscious thought that just, I'm just happy. I'm happy, well, and I conscious thought that just, you know, I'm just happy. I'm happy, well, and I'm happy that it's, it was great.
Starting point is 00:03:29 It was a great time. But I think the thing that we should talk about now, now that we're doing a supplemental. Let's talk about music. Let's talk about music. Let's talk about music. So the last time we had supplemental, we were both sort of on this track of like,
Starting point is 00:03:45 eh, I haven't really been listening to like a ton of different stuff. Ah, I haven't really, like, there's not really like stuff I wanna talk about, like that kind of thing. But when we said, oh, we're gonna do some more supplemental's this time, we both landed on like, do I got a bunch of music I wanna talk about.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, I've, it's funny, I like the ebb and flow that you and I both seem to ebb and flow in the same cycle, but yeah, I, since that last one, we decided not to talk about music because neither of us had a lot to bring to the table. I've just, it's just like been an explosion of new stuff. So. What have you been, what have you been like really on?
Starting point is 00:04:14 Is there like a genre or like a thing that you've been like really about? Uh, I don't know if this apply it. Well, I guess sort of, I didn't think so. But I put together a playlist today, just have stuff to talk about, just so that I would have it easily in front of me and I would have to be scrolling through my main playlist to far. Of course, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:34 And it seems to be a lot of like 60s garage and blues. What got you there, just nothing you just grabbed it out of nowhere. I don't know, man. I mean, I've always been a fan of like garage music and so that's always kind of in the periphery And then a lot of what I've been picking up lately is from trucks with Bernie and Antonia Oh, we have the players going in the background at all times and they listen to so much music And so I just been picking up little bits here and there and for whatever reason, you know, they let they have a Similarly to us. They have a wide range of musical tastes. Yeah, but for whatever reason that's the stuff that's just been sticking out to me So I've just been collecting it all what what have you been listening to specifically?
Starting point is 00:05:15 Okay, so the first song I'll talk about is this song called I'll carry on by a guy named by Jean I guess his name is GE-E-N-E. Okay. The name is just Gene, comma, the team beats. But anyway, All Carry On, it's a fucking awesome, awesome, awesome. I could say awesome a few more times if it really drives the point home, but just a really good garage rock and roll song.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Is it like vocals and stuff or is it more instrumental? Okay. No, it's vocals and stuff and it's just catchy. It's just real fucking catchy. Like two and a half minutes song, real short song. That's cool. I've been sort of in that vein. There's a band that I like called Dady Allen in the Aeros. I don't know if that's ever a thing that
Starting point is 00:06:03 you were ever like really into or whatever, but they're very, it's instrumental and it's very sort of like the ventures, like really heavy fuzz kind of sound and everything. And if you're looking for an album Blues theme is a really good one, they just have a lot of, they have like a lot of themes and stuff from old, I think shows and things like that from the 60s. And I think that it might, if that's what you're into right now,
Starting point is 00:06:32 Davey Allen in the arrows might be like, right up your alley. Okay, I added Blues theme. Yeah, yeah, give it a shot. It might be something you're into, it might not. It might be something where you just go, well, that's not this. But I do think that it's probably pretty close to where you're landing with it might not. It might be something where you just go, well, that's not this, but I do think
Starting point is 00:06:45 that it's probably pretty close to where you're landing with some of this stuff. What are you? Oh, but I just got on a kick again of listening to Jim Croci. Oh, yeah, I'm always on a Jim Croci kick. Yeah, it like, I'll put Krocheon and it is so what a mix of upbeat and sad He died when he was 30. Did you know he was only 30? Yeah, that's fucking very young crazy his plane hit a tree
Starting point is 00:07:17 Should have probably died at 27, but he eats that for three years. All right. Well, I heard 30s the new 27 So oh there you go. Yeah I heard 30s of the new 27, so. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Yeah, he, uh, when, I mean, I've always loved Jim Kroche. A lot I grew up listening to him with my mom, you know, it's definitely my mom's era. But I used to sing or we used to sing operator to Millie when she was a baby together. It's great.
Starting point is 00:07:40 God, I love that song. It's just like an easy lullaby kind of song to sing. Yeah, I think that's such a great, he has such a great sound and he wrote so many great songs and I just, man, I just really love him. The dude could make something so emotionally evocative in such a simple way. It was really, it was all, interestingly, how he could strip down and to just like, I don't know, express a beautiful or heart-breaking point. Yeah. And a very weird, like, little connection to San Diego. He had a restaurant, or I guess his family, like, in the name, had a restaurant in San Diego
Starting point is 00:08:22 called Croachies. Really? Yeah. They had moved to San Diego right Crocs. Really? Yeah. They had moved to San Diego right before he died. I don't know, like I don't know if people know that. It was, I think like a month before he died or whatever, him and his wife had moved to San Diego and then she'd opened this sort of like jazz bar.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Not really like nightclub is like a restaurant sort of jazz restaurant kind of thing called croquis downtown. It's closed now like everything else, but yeah, it was a cool little spot just downtown. And you'd been there? Yeah, yeah. Croquis was on like, I think it was on like fifth and it was just a place where dinner and drinks and jazz and all that kind of stuff. Very cool spot. Crochies and San Diego.
Starting point is 00:09:06 It's, I mean, so when did it close down like pandemic? Oh God, no, no, probably like, probably like 20 probably like 2014, 2016. And his family was still running it. Yeah, yeah. I think I think they still had it. I don't think it was still. I think that his, not his wife, but like his family had taken it over or whatever. And then I think they still had it. I don't think it was still, I think that his, not his wife, but like his family had taken it over or whatever. And then I think it just got to a point where it was like, I don't think there's any money in this and they had to get rid of it.
Starting point is 00:09:32 So, but yeah, it's a very cool little spot in CDU called Croche's. I always thought that was a nice little connection. Look at a food. It was like a really like small plates kind of thing. So it was like, you know, appetizers in a cocktail and listening to cool jazz like that. It was just like that kind of spot. Nice. Yeah. It was very, it seemed like a place where if he had been alive and then it had opened and done all like that stuff, it would have been a place where a lot of like smaller
Starting point is 00:09:59 acoustic stuff probably would have come through through like the 70s and everything, which I think would have been really cool. Now is it heavily Jim Krochi? No, it was just kind of like in name and I remember there being like a couple of like, maybe like pictures on the wall, but, um, it was really more just, it was in the name and then it was very much like you knew that that was like the music spot. Right. There were always bands that came was like the music spot. Right. Right. There were always bands that came through.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Bands you'd never heard of. I knew about this thing because of, I worked for a smooth jazz radio station in San Diego for four years. So they would do, they would do like brunches or different like events like a croquis. They would have sort of like bands come through every once in a while and then you'd have to go drive the van downtown and Set up the it's sticker. It's giving out thing and it's just that What what else have you been hidden? What else you've been listening to?
Starting point is 00:10:54 Let's see. I'll try to encapsulate it. So you know, I've been listening to a lot of African Music, yeah a lot of and so I'll just name a couple of musicians all at once music. Oh, that's right. Yeah. A lot of and so I'll just name a couple of musicians all at once. There's a song called It's Not Easy by Opegi. I believe it's how you say it. O-F-E-G-E, which is a really fantastic song. Just really good like soulful rock and roll song. There's a song. I think we played it at my wedding actually calledour My Friend, K-H-A-L-A, my friend, by Ammanaz, AMA and AZ. And that's like a dislike, just like this, like just with real sweet slow song, where a guy's just talking about a friend that's going on a journey and he's gonna miss them and he hopes they don't go. What else? William O'Neill, of course. And if you listen to the So All Right podcast,
Starting point is 00:11:46 which is the other podcast, the solo podcast I do, I actually cover music a lot more than often than I realized. I just did a whole episode on William O'Neill-Bor, who was this African Nigerian, like rock and roll and electric music pioneer. And so, atomic bomb I put on the playlist for that. That's about all that I pulled from Africa. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Or at least from that portion of the music I'm listening to. So, Ofegi, Aminaz and William Onya-Bor. That's good stuff. That's great. Yeah, those three songs are just fun. Like you can't listen to those three songs and not fall in love with that music. Yeah, you were telling me and Gus about it
Starting point is 00:12:28 before you're recording Anma or just about that stuff that you've been listening to and how into it you were and sort of like the story behind some of it and everything you're talking about kind of putting it together for so all right and everything. And I thought it sounded so cool. I think that's so awesome. Yeah, it's just like, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:46 I think we as Americans get so trapped into the idea that when it comes to music and movies and entertainment, we export to the rest of the world and we very often through hubris or just, I don't know, media bias, we never ingest music coming in from the rest of the world. And yeah. And sometimes stuff breaks through. William O'Neill broke through like in 2010.
Starting point is 00:13:09 I think you, you know, almost, he was almost dead at that point. But there's these whole swaths of like, of scenes around the world that we just, they just don't ever touch us. They're so fabulous and so full of, you know, just wonderful music or movies or comedians or whatever it is TV. And so I'm trying to be better about looking outside of my bubble for music now. I think that's great.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I think that's, I think getting out, I don't know, hopefully that, this does that for people that are listening to this because I think this is a great little thing to be like, hey, here's just what we've been into, check it out, and then see, you know, kind of like take the pieces and put together a new car, like from the parts that we give you. And absolutely. And I think that's always really exciting. If you are, do you know shadows of night?
Starting point is 00:14:00 No. If you're into that sort of like 60s, like, almost like garagey kind of sound, I would say shadows of night have a song called Gloria that I'm sure you've heard a million times and you just didn't realize it was them. Okay. I would say check out Shadows of Night. That's a band that I think that you'd be into. I didn't get to my playlist now.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Another band that I don't know if it would be your speed or not, but I just found out about a band called The Bug Club. Yeah, great, great name. Very... The album I've been listening to is called Rare Birds Hour of Song, and it is just one hour mix of music, and then in between is, I don't want to say it's spoken word, tabloes from a bird's point of view, because that's what it is, but it doesn't sound like it.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I want to say this might be a hard one to just jump into because it is one hour long and there are 47 songs. Sounds like a bit of a concept, Elbow. It is a concept album. If you ever liked Moli Peaches, I think that this would be a thing that you'd want to check out. The song that they have called Marriage is,
Starting point is 00:15:28 I think that's probably your speed. Maybe the other 46 tracks on this album aren't gonna be for everyone, but definitely check out the song Marriage from the Bug Club off of Rare Birds, Hour of Song. All right, I'm gonna add marriage. I have to add marriage. You might like it.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I think it has like a lot, it has like some really good energy. It sounds older garage, like there's definitely a lot of like older garage sound to it or like early 90s pulp. It's just, it's very strange. And it came out this year and I don't listen to a ton of new music but I
Starting point is 00:16:07 actually got turned on to it from this woman on TikTok that she does a series called new albums for old heads and she's like hey do you not like new music check out these albums and I'm like well this is actually pretty good is she turned me on to that one and it's like I I really like it. It's very, it's just really bizarre. It's really hard to like, you have to put on the whole album. I don't know how you could just put this on shuffle and be like, they haven't come up on track. 16.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Yeah, Burns Wern's Hot Emptiness. Yeah, it's just, it's very strange. It's very, very strange. But I think you check out the song marriage and you might enjoy that. Also, have you heard Andre 3000's new album? Yeah, his flute album. I've got a couple of songs.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Bookmarked, I've been listening. Yeah, what do you think of it? I like it. Yeah, I can't listen to, if I listen to more than two songs at once, it sounds like music. Yes. But if I just listen to one song,
Starting point is 00:17:12 and it doesn't really matter which song, but if I just listen to one song, I'm into it. I can't listen to too much other at once, if that doesn't. It sounds really good when you have it on in the other room and then you're going into the kitchen to make coffee. That is, I think, the best way to experience Andre 3000's newest album. Either that or getting a massage. I think those are the two ways to experience new blue sun. It can't be a thing where you sit down and like you like make it your focus, it is way more on beyond than it is like studio sound for you to like really drill into. You
Starting point is 00:17:57 know what I mean? Yeah. I really enjoy it. I think it's really nice. I think it's a great, again, putting it on and making coffee and sort of like the, the, the sun, like the lazy kind of like morning sun is like kind of like coming through like your blinds and you're going like this is fucking great. Like that's, we've done it. We've, we've really figured this out. This is beautiful. Um, I think I was gonna say go ahead. No, I was gonna say you, but you're definitely right. It sounds like music. I think, I was gonna say, go ahead. No, I was gonna say, but you're definitely right. It sounds like music. I think the best part of this new album coming out is everybody reposting the old key and peel sketch they did, which is so fucking funny
Starting point is 00:18:35 and so, so prescient, yeah, whatever we are, very, very clever. And I forgot how great key and peel was, but man, people have been shoving that short down my throat. Got no kidding. That's what happened last week. George Penga, who works in marketing, is from Atlanta. He's a huge outcast fan.
Starting point is 00:18:54 And so I was talking to him about like, how do you feel about this? I mean, it was before it came out. I'm like, how do you feel about this album coming out? And he went, look, whatever he's going to put out, I'm going to be into. That's just what's gonna happen. He's like, you're issued ATLians like at birth and then you're just sort of like, here you go. You're along for the ride.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah, yeah, you're end out cast, sorry. This is your music, whether you want it or not. Yeah, exactly. So I talked to him about after it came out and he said, there's a lot, he's like, I don't know how to like, kind of settle into it, but he said it makes my brain feel really nice He's like once the work week is over and you put it on He said I hate the term it's a vibe, but I don't know a better way to describe it
Starting point is 00:19:35 And I went that's kind of a great way to this. That's kind of really it is that is a vibe But then we also went into conspiracy theories about outcasts coming out with an album next year just because we're trying to will it into existence. So I just don't think it's going to happen, but boy, I want it to happen. So, so, so bad. So bad. I wonder though, like I'm with you, I also would love it to happen, but I wonder if it's kind of like Eddie Murphy where it's like, it's been so long everybody wants to see Eddie
Starting point is 00:20:02 Murphy do stand up, but could it possibly live up to the expectation at this point? You know what I mean? I think that big boy is still so involved in music and Andre 3000 is still so involved with like young rappers that like, there's no way it would be bad. I mean, I would love it regardless and you're right about it.
Starting point is 00:20:20 I won the interesting things in the post-outcast world is I've learned I was a much bigger big boy fan than Andre 3000 fans. Isn't that so crazy? Yeah, I didn't know that during an outcast at all. Had no idea. I'm like, dude, Andre's the guy. Big boys just like, I don't know. Like, Andre's like all the flavor and all this stuff and you listen to it again.
Starting point is 00:20:38 You're like, big boys, he's so fucking good in everything in every facet of every way of that band. His solo album since and he did a collab with Fanta Graham. Yes, yes. Album called The Grams that was, that's like seven years ago at this moment, it was so goddamn good. It's so good. And he was pushing the envelope way more than I realized. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:01 And Andre is so out there and he's so like, has this like such an ephemeral personality that you just associate all of the groundbreaking aspects of that band with him, just not the case. I mean, I mean, not that he doesn't deserve, but it was much more of a collaborative effort than I realized. If like, I think it just really showed
Starting point is 00:21:19 that what you think you know when you're, you know, listening to stuff and trying to like figure music out. And then years later, it has a totally different effect on you is like, oh, this isn't, there's not really one way to do this. There's not really one way that this is supposed to be sort of ingested or taken in or whatever. It's gonna change with you as you kind of go.
Starting point is 00:21:41 And I actually have that with a lot of, I got back into a veil and hell yeah. Yeah, like after we talked about it, like 98, I was like, yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe that in lifetime or two bands that I was like, oh man, not really super hot on, I liked, but in love and then I picked up Jersey's best answers again from lifetime and I went, fuck, this is so fucking good.
Starting point is 00:22:05 It's so good. And then over the James was like that, that available from 98 is just like, man, so good. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ So Lifetime was from Jersey. Yes, yeah. And I lived in Jersey for the last little bit of their existence
Starting point is 00:22:29 and then right after they broke up, and they were like the Beatles to know the punk. I mean, they were so fucking big that you couldn't help but absolutely love lifetime because it was just like, and I don't mean this in a bad way, but it was just crammed down your throat constantly because they were the biggest and the best thing going on. And then like kid Dynamite was kind of born out of that scene,
Starting point is 00:22:48 which I thought was kind of like a spiritual successor to what they were doing in lifetime. Leasing your name was already cats. I got to meet him once in Redbink, New Jersey, really nice guy. But yeah, I'm right there with you. I've always been a huge lifetime fan. And I always have like one or two lifetime songs in my playlist, just about always. It's one of those bands that it says, there's always, like I always have like one or two lifetime songs in my playlist, just about always.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Is this one of those bands that it says, there's always, like I always have like one song dangling. I just didn't, again, when I was younger and I listened to it, I'm like, oh, I like this. And then it was just sort of a thing I fell away from. And then I listened to it again. I was in Jersey's best answers again. And I just went, oh, everyone ripped this off.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Yeah. Everyone just everyone ripped this off. Yeah. Everyone just fucking ripped this off. And I didn't, and I was too dumb to like look at it and realize like, you know, in 1999, when I was like, what's this? I was too fucking dumb to realize that it was just, oh, everybody took from this and nobody gave back and it's really crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:41 It's nuts. It's so cool. If you like, it sounds like you do, but if you're interested, after lifetime, he did, the lead singer Ari, he did a band, I think I just put out one album, I think it was he and his wife called Zero Zero, and it's like poppy dance music.
Starting point is 00:24:00 And it's really good. I wanna say it's on J-Tree. I mean, it's a little more complicated than poppy dance music, it's like, but it's really, it I want to say it's on Jade Tree. I mean, it's a little more complicated than Poppy Dance music. It's like, but it's really, that's essentially what it is. You ever listen to a, oh fuck, I can't think of the mates of state. Kind of reminded me of mates of state a little bit.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I think I know what you're talking about in terms of more difficult dance music, I get it. Yeah, like a lot of precautions and a lot of like sing-song-e, male-female vocals bouncing back and forth and just kind of frantic, but in a pop sensibility. I don't know, I really enjoyed that. I haven't listened to that album since it came out,
Starting point is 00:24:39 probably in the years, but. I've checked that out. That's true. Look at that a few chance. I'm sure it's around somewhere. Thing thing that I, I think I tried to turn you on when we had a photo shoot a couple months ago was a, Fay Webster's Atlanta Millionaires Club. Yeah. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:24:57 What? I can't stop listening. It's, I've been listening to this album for four months and I can't stop listening to this album. I think it's so fucking good. I love the sound of it. You turned me on to her. I've been listening to Room Temperature and hurts me too. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Oh my God. It's so, God damn. Like that, those two songs are great. It's like the first track and the third track on the album. The song, the second song on the album, the one that you skipped right side of my neck, is the song that I heard first, and I went, this is incredible.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I think it's so good. Faye Webster Atlanta Millionaires Club, I can't recommend enough. It is, it's like, everyone started ripping off Phoebe, Phoebe Bridgers kind of sound and this to me is pre that. It's a very like not not foaky alternative sort of female singer songwriter with a guitar but not trying to get that Phoebe Bridgers sort of like feeling to it. I really like it.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I really like it a lot. Yeah, I'm really glad you turned me feeling to it. I really like it. I really like it a lot. Yeah, I'm really glad you turned me on to it. I've been enjoying it consistently since that day. Maybe the worst album cover I've ever seen. But it's so, I love the album. I can't, I don't want to look, Jeff, I can't look at this fucking image anymore.
Starting point is 00:26:26 I know. I can't, it's disgusting. It's disturbing. It's fucking awful. I don't wanna look at it anymore. I hate it so much. Oh man. What else have you been hitting?
Starting point is 00:26:40 Okay, I'll stand it out. So much, I'm looking, I put 54 songs on my playlist. Oh, no, shit. We'll get to like eight of them. Uh, I'm 54 songs on my playlist. Obviously we're not gonna get. We'll get to like eight of them. I'm gonna lump a couple together. So I've been listening, there's this band I like a lot called, I hate myself. And I think I might have recommended them last time,
Starting point is 00:26:54 but I discovered a new song of theirs called Song 2. And then I realized, and so I've lumped a couple of bands in together, I hate myself, Song 2 horses on fire by die-hoff nun, and then protest song 00 by a band called American Nightmare. I've decided that this is Celine Dion for aggressive 40-year-old deuce. Whoa. It's just like songs of a heartbreak,
Starting point is 00:27:18 scream-y songs of heartbreak with a lot of heavy guitars. So if you want, if that instructs your fancy at all, I definitely recommend Song 2 and Pro Test Song 0-0. Pro Test Song 0-0 is a song of the little seducence that came out, but Song 2 I just discovered. But to mix it up a little bit, I have been in love with this dude Orville Peck. I don't know if you've heard of him. He's pretty popular. I mean, I think he's like, he's having a moment.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I don't know if you've heard of them. He's pretty popular. I mean, I think he's like, he's having a moment. He does like old, old, like Hank Williams S Country music. Oh yeah. He has a new album that's called Pony and the whole album is good. But if you're gonna listen to one song,
Starting point is 00:27:56 listen to Turn to Hate. And the thing about him is he's, I don't think this is the thing about him, but A thing about him is that he's gay and so a lot of his songs are like gay cowboy songs Or like gay trucking songs like and it's just an interesting take on that genre and he's got this just really sexy Throaty voice and his the music is just like you'll listen it's one of those songs where
Starting point is 00:28:21 You listen to one song and you're instantly a fan. So if you get a chance, listen to Turn to Hate by Orville Peck and I think you'll absolutely love the whole album. I think he really figured out how to get people to notice him by wearing that mask first. And then I think like, you know, having a gimmick is an easy way to get noticed for like this stuff. And then it just turns out that his music is really, really, really good. And so the mask was just sort of the launching pad to get people to notice his very, very good music.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Yeah, he's got like a cowboy outlaw mask on. He always has like different versions and their B did or very, it's kind of like the country version of MF Doom. It is, a little bit, it's a little bit like that. And I think again, I think people immediately took notice of that part of it and didn't really notice the music. And then now it's been long enough
Starting point is 00:29:11 that people are really noticing the music. And it's like, damn, he just keeps turning in like good stuff. And I've listened to all of his music now and he gets better every album. Which is a priority. Yeah, like he and Lana Del Rey are some of the only people I know that can consistently improve. Yeah, I think it's definitely it's a confidence thing
Starting point is 00:29:29 and it is a like, it's a knowledge and sort of age thing with him where it just keeps going and it's like, man, he just, he knows his stuff and it's so good. And he just feels like he's perfecting it as he is. Yeah. Yep. Another one I've been really interested, I really enjoying is this band called Pagan Alter,
Starting point is 00:29:47 who, Bern, Berndog turned me on to. It's like early Doom Metal, I guess. Listen to the time, Lord. It's just like, if you like heavy metal songs about spaceships and lasers and swords and shit, like it is that. It is like all the best of, that's my favorite kind of metal.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Like space metal, if that makes sense. Kind of like the sword, like the sword or sleep. Like those kind of themes, it doesn't sound like that. It sounds a lot more like 70s inspired, heavy metal, but it's just those same kind of themes of like space metal, which I'm just a big fan of. I'm learning as I get older. Do you ever listen to a hawk wind? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Yeah, same era, I think, in hawk wind. That's definitely what it just the look of it reminds me of that I'm gonna check out pagan alter. This is sick. All of pagan alter stuff's good, but the time lord for me is just the best fucking song. The time lord is such a fucking cool, like that's awesome. I know. So fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:30:42 That's just sick name. I love that. I just love that. I wish I was a little bit older so that I could have lived in that's awesome. I know. So fucking awesome. That's just a sick name. I love that. I just love that. I wish I was a little bit older so that I could have lived in that area of the 70s when it was just about like smoking pot and thinking about spaceships and space operas. Like it was basically like everybody saw Star Wars
Starting point is 00:30:57 and then thought like that's the future. Let's sing songs about it, you know? And then it was really only for like three years that people did it. Yeah, yeah. This is the future of it. Yeah, yeah. Guys, this is the future of an entertainment. Oh, fuck. I discovered a country dude, I really like a current
Starting point is 00:31:10 country dude. Actually, someone from one of the listeners to so all right, turned me on to it after my country episode. And a guy named Willie Carlyle, there's a song called Cheap Cocaine, that you'll like. Nice. And it's just like an acoustic country song about like just doing cheap cocaine in different scenes, like in a punk scene and just around, kind of traveling around. And the lyrics kind of gets a little silly toward the end, but the song is still fun and strong.
Starting point is 00:31:39 And I mean, I just looked it up and he has something called, I don't know what critter land is, but I'm all about whatever critter land is about. That's a, that's a fucking fucked up look and possum. That's awesome. Critter land, I'm way it, I gotta check this out. I gotta check this out. He's got some other songs that I've liked, okay? But nothing like that song.
Starting point is 00:32:04 That song's been a lot better than anything else I've discovered of his, but it's good. That's nice. What else? Have you talked more? I've been listening to a lot of old stuff that's like popular, but I've been really into, so I'll just blow through that.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Yeah. This is just like shit that people would know that I've just been stuck in my head. So Country Feedback by Arem, I have decided is the best Arem song, and I'm gonna like shit that people would know that I have just been stuck in my head. So country feedback by R.A.M. I have decided is the best R.A.M. song and I'm gonna listen to this song until I die. It's never gonna leave my playlist. I'll never gonna get Saka sick of that song.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I've been listening to Heart, I hear you beating by Wayne Newton is a fucking banger. I don't know if you've ever listened to old Wayne Newton and the album cover, he looks like he lives with mother. Yes. Oh yeah. And might be a ventriloquist. It's a little weird.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Uh, what else? Oh, yes. I've been listening to a lot of yes. Wow. Really? Yeah. Where did that come from? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:33:00 I don't know. Melon, you remember that song? I've got a brand new pair of rollercoats. Oh yeah. Yeah. Melonie, brand new key. I've got a brand new pair of roller skates. Oh yeah. Melon-y brand new key. I've been listening to that lately. Van Morrison Astral Weeks. Oh cool.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Awesome song. I've been really digging. Do you wear a bell and Sebastian? I've been listening to the stars of track and field. The Beatles, I'm only sleeping. I don't know why. I've been listening to that a bunch. Just kind of like expect, I don't know, more popular stuff, listening to that a bunch. Just kind of like, like expect, like, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:33:25 more popular stuff, but it, oh, another one, dude, I have not been able to stop listening to Whisper You Love Me Boy by Daniel Ross. Okay. Huh, such a great song. I was doing a lot of like mayor, like we had to put together a playlist for the wedding for the DJ.
Starting point is 00:33:42 And so I was listening to a lot of lovey music. And that's probably where some of that came from. Interesting. You are, you really got all over the place with like the old stuff. That's all over the map. Yeah. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:56 That's cool. We got to wrap up soon. This is where I know. If I can throw a couple out at you, old, old country guy, Charlie Loovin, uh, real L-O-U-V-I-N, uh, let me see what song would I write if you could only pick one song off of what I've been listening to. Probably see the big, let me see. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Uh, God, they're all, it's all the saddest country that you've ever heard. Uh, like, okay, listen to less and less. Okay. Boy, it's really, fuck, it's so good. See the big man cry is so good. It's just all him. You have to listen to it. You have to.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I will. It's just like the most sad music. And you go, oh, this is fucking great. That's good. Good old country. Um, Ramones rode to ruin in rocket, to Russia. I've been listening to a lot. Uh, I love both of those albums. Uh, I think that Serfenberg is an underrated, you know, became like a kind of like a meme or whatever. I think Serfenberg is like the fucking coolest song in the world. Serfen Bird makes me insane. You put on Serfen Bird and it's just like,
Starting point is 00:35:09 oh my god, this is so much fucking fun. It just keeps going. But Road to Ruin, I think, is a way better album with needles and pins and bad brain. It's a long way back. I really, really love the Ramones for, is that your favorite album you think? Road to ruin?
Starting point is 00:35:25 Probably. There's such an easy band to knock because a lot of their music is so like, you know, it's so same Zee, whatever. I would never knock the Ramones out of anybody's house. I don't think so. Like I think if you put on two tough to die and then you go back and you listen to like the stuff
Starting point is 00:35:44 from like rock and roll high school, it's different. It's all just really different stuff, and I don't know. It's, I really love the Ramones. I know there's a lot of people that don't necessarily love the Ramones, I love them. I think most people consider their first three albums to be the best, but I love into the century. And to the century is.
Starting point is 00:36:03 What is your spectral so much? I think it's really under, I think it's an underrated album. Oh, yeah. I love into the century. And to the century is. What a little specter. So much. I think it's really under, I think it's an underrated album. It's maybe not necessarily what I want to hear a ton of from the Ramones, but I love that they did something that wasn't what I wanted to hear a ton of from the Ramones. I just think that's so, I think it's so cool and it's very good. Plus, I can't make it on time.
Starting point is 00:36:22 And Danny says, are two the best Ramones songs. Man, it's great shit. They're so good. They're very good. Plus, I can't make it on time. And Danny says, are two the best from own songs. Man, it's great shit. They're so good. And I think that's an easy band to get into, that's how I feel. An album that was recommended to me by my friend Jason, we were talking a lot about Bruce Springsteen, because we were talking about Billy Joel.
Starting point is 00:36:40 He did a bunch of art for the Billy Joel, like 50th anniversary thing. Jason, my friend Jason Cryer, they came out to visit. Okay. He did a bunch of stuff for the Billy Joel 50th anniversary. And then we were talking a lot about Billy Joel and then talking about sort of like that Northeast music kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:36:58 It's like, oh, I could definitely see being from like New York and going like, oh, Billy Joel's like the fucking shit. But the thing I never understood is Bruce Springsteen. And he's like, me neither. I don't get it. I don't understand it. It's not my speed.
Starting point is 00:37:11 I don't like the sound of it, whatever. He said, until I heard the album Nebraska, and that is the only album that you should check out from Bruce Springsteen, I think it's worth your time. And I listened to it and I went, man, this is really good. So Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen is I think it's worth your time. And I listened to it and I went, man, this is really good. So Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen is definitely one I've been listening to a lot of.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Well, I'm sorry, Nebraska, is that what you said? Yeah. Yes. Let me add that in, because I've never been a huge person. I don't get it. I think Highway Patrolman and State Trooper,
Starting point is 00:37:40 like the two sort of like middle songs there are incredible. I think they're so good. Do you know a little bit of like, because you mentioned Bruce Springsteen and the Ramones, I don't think we've talked about this together, but did you know that Bruce Springsteen wrote a Ramones song? No, what?
Starting point is 00:37:56 Yeah, apparently he was a big Ramones fan early on and he met Joey Ramone somewhere. Uh, and I guess it has been parked. and Joey Ramon asked him to write a song. And so he wrote hungry heart as a Ramon song, but he liked it so much. He kept it. What? Yeah. And if you listen to that song now, you'll hear it and you go, oh yeah, that is a Ramon
Starting point is 00:38:17 song. He literally wrote that song for the Ramon and then decided, now I like this too much. I want to keep it for me. I got it. Okay. I'll have to listen to a heavy heart right as soon as we end this. That's so funny. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:38:27 That's insane. That's so crazy. Never. Wow. Okay. We'll get to know. You would never know, but. No.
Starting point is 00:38:35 All right. We got to wrap up. We're over time on this. But any last ones, any last shots you want to throw up there. Let me leave with one. Let me see. What's one song I want to leave everybody with. How about the river by Fival is Gloke?
Starting point is 00:38:55 It's like, what did you just say? What? Well, first a Fival is Gloke is a FIEV email is and then Gloke is spelled G-O-A-U-Q-E. It's, I don't know anything about this band, but if I had to describe it, I would describe it as French indie dance music. It's beautiful. It's just beautiful. Anything they put out is good,
Starting point is 00:39:15 but the river is a really good song. So I'll leave you with that. Okay, that's a great one. There you go. Well, that's been music. We'll get together in eight weeks and see if we want to talk about music again. But, you know, get together in eight weeks and see if we want to talk about music again.
