  It's Deprogrammed, the podcast where we try to get you into a
• 0:24
  band. That's right, we've done all the
• 0:26
  work for you. All you have to do is press play
• 0:28
  and listen. My name is Justin and I am band
• 0:31
  curious and normally what we do on the show is try to compile a
• 0:36
  top 10 starter kit list for you to get into an artist.
• 0:40
  It's not what we're doing today. It's not a normal episode.
• 0:43
  It is a daily episode of Deprogram.
• 0:44
  So if you've stumbled upon us on this episode, high welcome.
• 0:51
  These are just little short episodes that we just kind of
• 0:54
  talk about music or in today's instance, we're talk about the
• 0:58
  history of the show. And I feel like we'll do maybe
• 1:03
  this one and maybe the next year.
• 1:05
  So this would be your 4. Obviously, if you've clicked the
• 1:08
  title, you know, this is year 4 and then Year 5 probably seems
• 1:12
  like a good place to cut this off because first of all, that's
• 1:15
  half of the show and Year 5 is 2020.
• 1:18
  So, you know, we'll, we'll talk about that as we as we cross it.
• 1:21
  But we're, we're in entering into like some really pivotal
• 1:26
  points in the show's history. It's 2019.
• 1:29
  We've got like epic shows that happened this year, some big
• 1:35
  time changes, some big time setbacks, all sorts of great
• 1:38
  stuff in 2019. And it's all starts off with
• 1:42
  some people have said it's the best episode of Deprogrammed
• 1:46
  ever. I get that.
• 1:49
  It's got everything you could want in an episode of
• 1:51
  Deprogrammed. It's the Guns N Ros episode.
• 1:55
  We've talked about this ad nauseam.
• 1:56
  We talked about it on the Peter episode.
• 1:58
  We talked about it on several After the Facts.
• 2:01
  I've talked about it with a lot of people.
• 2:04
  Poor Peter having to be on the line when it's Fredo, Bob Fresh
• 2:11
  and myself all in the same room for the first time in.
• 2:15
  So if we recorded that probably late 2018 for the first time in
• 2:20
  the same room making show in six or seven years together, the
• 2:27
  three of us anyway. And because Bob was in town from
• 2:31
  Ohio, so we all just kind of went nuts.
• 2:36
  Yeah, I it is a very popular episode of the show and there's
• 2:42
  reason for that. We also covered Fozzie that
• 2:45
  year. Reverend Horton Heat death cab
• 2:48
  for cuties. Funny, I talked about that on
• 2:50
  the Peter episode as well because I kind of crushed
• 2:53
  Peter's dream almost immediately with a song choice.
• 2:58
  The Strokes, Gaslight Anthem, Adam and the Ants.
• 3:01
  Best of Toady's A pretty sure Jodi is in before Toady's but I
• 3:09
  remember Jodi being on Toady's for certain Coheed And Cambria
• 3:14
  Wu Tang Clan, so I'm still in the apartment at this point.
• 3:17
  Megadeth is the return of Talbert and Andy.
• 3:21
  Hum is a a critical point because Hum is the entrance of
• 3:27
  John F who we just recorded like his 102nd episode just the other
• 3:33
  day. And tonight we record 103.
• 3:37
  Wild. I, I told him I was like 1/5 of
• 3:42
  the deprogrammed episodes you've been on officially.
• 3:45
  That's crazy. We're gonna do those like the
• 3:50
  interview episodes, and we'll talk about that more for that.
• 3:56
  Did we just. Yeah.
• 3:56
  We just went backwards, unfortunately.
• 3:58
  All right, let's go forward into 2019, then Fold 5.
• 4:06
  Space Hog was great because I finally had an excuse to dive
• 4:10
  into the other two records. I think it was that I'd never
• 4:13
  listened to a Space Hog. It was a really quick turn
• 4:16
  around. It was John A, who I hope is all
• 4:19
  right. He lives in North Carolina and
• 4:22
  there was a huge hurricane a couple years back, you'll
• 4:24
  remember, and his his area was affected by that and we haven't
• 4:29
  heard much from him since, but I know it was because like total
• 4:34
  devastation. So hopefully he's all right.
• 4:38
  But that was fun because it was like such a quick turn around.
• 4:40
  I it was less than a week that we turn that around.
• 4:44
  I think I couldn't land the plane on something else and we
• 4:49
  just were like, can you guys do space hog?
• 4:52
  Like I feel like we could turn that around quick and boom,
• 4:55
  there we do it. We did exactly that.
• 4:58
  Aha. Was up here a surprise for me
• 5:01
  because you expect Take on Me and while while Take On Me is a
• 5:08
  great song, it's not exactly that.
• 5:11
  They're much better than than I thought they were going to be.
• 5:14
  Coldplay I think was presented as a please explain because I
• 5:19
  wasn't willing to do the work. Janelle Monáe.
• 5:23
  I've really grown respect from for Janelle Monáe since then.
• 5:28
  Trying to keep tabs on her. I'm lost on her discog
• 5:34
  unfortunately, but I'm keeping tabs on her as an artist.
• 5:37
  Amy Winehouse we cover there. Ke$ha was fun because it was my
• 5:41
  wife and her best friend from childhood and it was Lawrence
• 5:44
  first show. We've only done a couple but
• 5:47
  that one was fun. System of a down.
• 5:51
  Sonic Youth. So I told you all last year,
• 5:56
  Genie World is the reason for new trash protocol.
• 6:00
  I don't think up until this point we had used it.
• 6:03
  Sonic Youth, I'm 100% is the first time we had to use it.
• 6:08
  We've only had to use it like maybe one other time, and right
• 6:11
  now that's escaping me of when that happened.
• 6:15
  But Sonic Youth for sure we had to dig into the trash to fill
• 6:18
  out our list. When the jewels shellac shellac
• 6:23
  is one of those bands where like I couldn't wait to do shellac
• 6:29
  because it's crazy. I, I mentioned a couple of these
• 6:33
  ago where when the show first started, it was only going to be
• 6:39
  bands that I was familiar with because I didn't think it was
• 6:43
  going to have legs. I didn't think, I didn't think I
• 6:46
  was going to be doing 51 episodes a year.
• 6:50
  So Shellac kind of got shoved to the side in that first year to
• 6:55
  start covering bands I wasn't familiar with.
• 6:58
  So and then Shellac took at this point, what, almost four years
• 7:03
  to get to 3 something Edwin Collins.
• 7:07
  Oh boy. We talked about this on the
• 7:10
  Peter episode as well, where it was a discovery for all three of
• 7:15
  us. And it turns out the one song is
• 7:18
  really the only song that we like.
• 7:20
  All just loved and I've never come back to the guy.
• 7:25
  Sorry, dude. The Verve, no doubt Fiona Apple.
• 7:31
  So this is one of the few this there's a no band again episode
• 7:35
  in July of 2017. In my at the time, I think I was
• 7:42
  mostly I was never getting ahead.
• 7:45
  I think at best I was getting ahead by like 2 weeks.
• 7:48
  And so if I didn't have an episode, I needed something.
• 7:52
  And so it looks like I talked for 9 minutes, who knows what I
• 7:57
  talked about. It's clearly not a very popular
• 8:00
  episode, so I, I must not have said anything of note on that,
• 8:05
  but I did, I did put out an episode that week.
• 8:10
  I'm very stubborn in that regard.
• 8:13
  Yellow Story, so far, one of Joe's favorite bands covering
• 8:19
  them. PJ Harvey.
• 8:21
  I think we're getting into the area.
• 8:23
  I think PJ Harvey is where my 'cause we're about to get into
• 8:28
  some like serious audio troubles.
• 8:31
  PJ Harvey, I think is where it happened.
• 8:34
  Where like I want to say either my board blew up or my computer
• 8:41
  died. It was one or the other.
• 8:42
  Something happened here where I was having trouble with audio
• 8:48
  for like the next handful of episodes.
• 8:50
  And if you've listened to these episodes, I I apologize.
• 8:54
  Some of these I had planned and or still hopefully plan to kind
• 8:59
  of replace with we did this on the Paramore episode.
• 9:01
  We did this on, you know, a couple other more recent
• 9:05
  episodes where the audio gets crapped.
• 9:07
  And I tried to just do a tribute to that episode where we just
• 9:13
  kind of talk about why we love the band, talk about the list
• 9:16
  that we came up with, and then just replace the audio.
• 9:19
  So some of these that'll happen. I can't remember if the audio
• 9:22
  does officially crap out on PJ Harvey or not, but I'm, I'm
• 9:26
  pretty sure this is the line. This is where it happens.
• 9:29
  Yeah, 'cause you look at Alice In Chains, which is the next
• 9:33
  episode, and it's only 39 minutes.
• 9:36
  So I think I was having problems with at the time I think we were
• 9:40
  using Skype. So any anything that was in
• 9:44
  person wasn't hard, but anything that was Skype, which PJ Harvey
• 9:48
  had Doctor Tim on Skype I think and then Alice In Chains was
• 9:55
  Dennis on Skype. I think it Alice In Chains might
• 9:59
  have been Dennis and Jody and maybe they were both on Skype.
• 10:03
  But either way, like I was having an issue with Skype and
• 10:10
  anytime anybody was in person, it was fine because we were all
• 10:13
  on the same board. Because as you can see, The
• 10:16
  Killers is fine. It's a normal episode filter.
• 10:19
  Yet again, 39 minutes. So there was audio issues that I
• 10:23
  had to trim out. Morphine, same thing, 32
• 10:25
  minutes. Yeah.
• 10:27
  So morphine was Peter and Jenny. So Jenny, I think, was in
• 10:31
  studio, and Peter obviously lived in Florida, so he was on
• 10:36
  Skype. And so I presume Morphine filter
• 10:41
  and Alice In Chains probably have bad audio.
• 10:43
  If you're somebody who's listened to those episodes, let
• 10:46
  me know. And any of these that I can
• 10:48
  replace. I'm still going to try to, I
• 10:51
  don't know how I do morphine, how I replace morphine.
• 10:54
  Since we lost Peter, I guess I could could gather Jenny and we
• 11:02
  could kind of do what what that would be.
• 11:06
  And I don't know, we'll cross that bridge as we get there.
• 11:10
  Brand new. Yeah, we had a full year this
• 11:12
  year. Brand new Angels and Airwaves.
• 11:14
  Citizen Cope was the Darrows. And we it, it was at my old
• 11:20
  house and there was like glow bars everywhere.
• 11:23
  And glow bar became the joke. I don't remember if it seeds
• 11:26
  into the episode, but it was for certain on the after the fact.
• 11:32
  And there was glow bars everywhere.
• 11:34
  And Keith and I kept joking about glow bars and Sarah was
• 11:39
  just exhausted with us by the by the end of the the day, Cyndi
• 11:43
  Lauper, Lady Gaga, the weaker lands.
• 11:49
  Lana Del Rey is an important one because Lana Del Rey is Brian
• 11:53
  Lewis and Hector. And then afterwards we talked
• 11:59
  for like another hour at least just about music and didn't hit
• 12:04
  record like we just did it. We just talked, I mean, you
• 12:09
  know, as was kind of tradition, like we would have these
• 12:11
  conversations afterwards. They didn't always last that
• 12:13
  long, but we would always have these conversations.
• 12:17
  And so let's move on to the next part and see if I can remember
• 12:21
  exactly when it happens. We're almost at 2020, though.
• 12:27
  Yeah. Only a couple left.
• 12:28
  Mr. Bungle Pink. Two man gentlemen manned Taylor
• 12:33
  Swift, Alkaline Trio, Bad Religion, the rentals, the
• 12:38
  shins. OK, so two things to point out
• 12:42
  here. I would think that either Mr.
• 12:45
  Bungle or Pink is where the after the fact starts because
• 12:51
  after the fact as a podcast starts because of that Lana Del
• 12:55
  Rey episode, because we talked for an extra hour.
• 12:59
  So if you're a patron, you know this already, but there's a
• 13:03
  conversation that happens after the show that gets posted to the
• 13:08
  patreonpatreon.com/oh. Hi Justin.
• 13:10
  A dollar a month gets you in that door.
• 13:12
  And so we would have those conversations and it would just
• 13:17
  go up to to patrons only. So somewhere along this line
• 13:21
  that happens. And of course, the Taylor Swift
• 13:25
  episode, before I moved my podcast hosting the Taylor Swift
• 13:31
  episode blew up. It was like 30,000 something
• 13:34
  downloads and the program became literally one of the most
• 13:38
  popular podcasts in the world. Like no joke, we had climbed up
• 13:42
  to single digits I think at some point and it was insane.
• 13:48
  And then I moved platforms. And I mean, we're still in a
• 13:53
  high percentage worldwide, I'd I'd be willing to bet.
• 13:58
  But yeah, it's it's never been the same Alkaline Trio.
• 14:04
  Let's see, we went over these Bad Religion, I think was
• 14:06
  Randy's first episode. But this run here as we'll get
• 14:12
  into. So it's Alkaline Trio, Bad
• 14:13
  Religion, the rentals, the shins and then the promise ring from
• 14:18
  the next year. Those five episodes are from the
• 14:21
  one and only John sessions, John F sessions that we did.
• 14:25
  Hilarious when you look at it rest retrospectively that we did
• 14:29
  a 5 episode run with with John in his first year.
• 14:35
  So John probably at this point is already almost a double digit
• 14:38
  episodes in one year. That's crazy.
• 14:42
  But we did those five in. I think we did a after the fact
• 14:46
  for the whole session for anybody who who could come in.
• 14:49
  But I look at like the rentals, the rentals I still go back to a
• 14:52
  lot. Crazily enough, the out of the
• 14:56
  five of those, the rentals is probably the one I go back to
• 14:58
  the most. I occasionally go back to
• 15:00
  Alkaline Trio. I should get back into the
• 15:03
  promise ring. It's actually kind of shocking
• 15:05
  that I that I haven't. So that's 2019.
• 15:09
  We'll do one more. We'll do 2020 next year or next
• 15:13
  year. We'll do 2020 next week and more
• 15:16
  on that as we go. But you know, how do you end
• 15:21
  these? We'll see you tomorrow.
• 15:22
  Goodbye.
