Latest / Deprogrammed Music Podcast / Cracker
Transcript
- 0:33To program the podcast where we try to get you into a band.
- 0:37At today's band is a cracka and yd.
- 0:40Please graça, you gonna talk cracker today.
- 0:45Hi, I was just a bunch of white people just on the internet,
- 0:48which is the bunch of white people talking about cracker
- 0:52Jenny, I believe this is, this is your brainchild of one day in
- 0:56the Discord. He said, you know, I ain't never
- 0:59listen to No cracker. What's up with crack?
- 1:02So what made you put them up there so they were supposed to
- 1:06be playing a local show in Virginia Beach in July and I was
- 1:12going to be getting into the discography any way to prepare
- 1:15for that show because like I listen to their earlier stuff
- 1:19back in the early to mid-90s. And I was like, you know what, I
- 1:24want to get into that again. Like I absolutely loved kerosene
- 1:28hat back in the day, absolutely loved it.
- 1:31It. And I was like, I think I need
- 1:33to hear more of their songs before the show.
- 1:35So I decided to dive in invite you guys to come along with me
- 1:38on this journey coming along on the journey and one of the
- 1:41people who said that they would go on the journey like almost
- 1:44immediately Scott. You jumped in, but I think you
- 1:48maybe are in a similar boat with Jenny.
- 1:51Yes, soon as though we live together and literally boat.
- 2:21Happy to learn to like these other albums and actually had a
- 2:26hard time coming up with my list.
- 2:28So mmm. Interesting.
- 2:30Interesting because you know, we'll get into that in a second.
- 2:33But Peter again I think I think you're somewhere in the same
- 2:36boat as everybody else here. Cracker, what's it all about for
- 2:40you? Yeah, same boat different state.
- 2:44I had carrot, I had kerosene hat back in the day and I like that
- 2:47album but Like most 90s one-hit wonder is like they just kind of
- 2:52disappeared off my map after that.
- 2:54And when the topic was brought up I was like yeah.
- 2:57I want to see if the if they got some other group shit and they
- 2:59do. Yeah, fuck.
- 3:02Yeah, they do. Unlike you guys, I guess I'm in
- 3:05a tinier boat. I'm in.
- 3:08I'm in a dingy dingy dingy. I can't believe both Scott and I
- 3:13reached for dingy, that's that that makes me happy.
- 3:17Your reach for dinghy. So I'm pretty much was only
- 3:31going into this familiar with the radio songs and not even all
- 3:34of them pretty much only like two.
- 3:38So, you know, I, I had no idea what to expect from this band at
- 3:43all from any of it. You know, I guess there's a
- 3:48because they're really Honestly, like when you listen to the two
- 3:50songs that I need going in, you can't even really base a
- 3:54perception of the band off that either really because those two
- 3:58songs are not exactly similar. So let's talk about list
- 4:04building. I know it was hard to get to it
- 4:08Jenny. But when when when pressed, when
- 4:11you, when you came to do the list, how how did yesterday how
- 4:19What was it this this go around. It was it was very difficult.
- 4:23So I had to approach a little bit different than I usually do
- 4:27like you know I've got I've got my own version of the
- 4:29spreadsheet that you use and I kind of like use it to count
- 4:33everything up for me and just keep track.
- 4:36And this time I couldn't do that for one reason or another, and I
- 4:39just did it on pen and paper like the old days and and I
- 4:45decided I was not going to care about album representation.
- 4:49Because I really felt like you could listen to their first
- 4:54album and you could listen to their latest album and they
- 4:57sound so similar that, you know, you know, they've got their
- 5:02sound, they've got their style and they've kind of stuck with
- 5:06that through the years. So I was like, I don't care, I
- 5:10don't care. But then just before the show, I
- 5:12punched it onto the computer and I found out what happened.
- 5:15What? I don't count albums and I don't
- 5:17look at album representation. There is a one or two that ended
- 5:21up really heavy. So I did try to balance it out a
- 5:28little bit at the end and I tried to represent their sound
- 5:34and all the different facets of it.
- 5:37Because they, like I said, they definitely have like, like kind
- 5:41of a country rock, but it's not really country.
- 5:45I don't know how to describe it. It's it's very Specific to them.
- 5:50It's cracker Soul. Yes, cracker Soul.
- 5:53Yeah, they say, yeah, it is so Scott, I again, I know you I
- 5:58know you had trouble getting to it, but once you got to it was
- 6:01it was it difficult. Keeping your list.
- 6:05Yep. Game time decisions.
- 6:19Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. From time to time.
- 6:22Yeah. Yeah.
- 6:25But I think you know, just like Judy said, I think they do have
- 6:30a sound, I kind of wish the O cracker Where Art Thou was in
- 6:37the mix. Yeah, which we can maybe talk
- 6:42more, lovable load, but that later but you know, I really it
- 6:48was really, yeah, it was hard. It was just hard.
- 6:51It was I there was this too many, too many that I wanted to
- 6:54keep in and I just had to go and just chop.
- 7:00So so same question to you. Peter, we, you and I were
- 7:02talking a little bit about this before before we came on what
- 7:07was it like putting your list together for this?
- 7:12This time, I didn't go for album representation, and it's pretty
- 7:16much because of what Scott? And Jenny were saying, was that,
- 7:19like, they have a consistent sound, like throughout their
- 7:22whole career. So, like, as I was going further
- 7:24and further and further into their discography, I was kind of
- 7:27like, okay, I have heard this before, all right, you know,
- 7:31like they don't have like are has really, I don't think so.
- 7:35Like I just kind of picked the songs that like represent the
- 7:38different. Styles that they dip into with
- 7:41each album and this kind of went from there.
- 7:45But yeah, like as the later albums went on, like I was just
- 7:48kind of like I kind of see your bag of tricks here, guys.
- 7:52Like okay yeah. There was there's only like a
- 7:58couple songs where I was like. Oh, okay.
- 7:59This is they're changing it up here.
- 8:01But Yeah, I don't have a sound, I don't think that's a bad thing
- 8:07either. No, it's not.
- 8:08It's not it made it difficult for me towards the end so like I
- 8:12had. So I it's been so long since I
- 8:14was on the show that I legit forgot how to make my list.
- 8:18I thought I had to pick 10 songs and I was like wait a minute, I
- 8:21can choose 20, holy shit, this is a game changer and I got to
- 8:2516 and then I was like well where do I go from here?
- 8:28Because I hit like all of what I wanted to represent and what To
- 8:32discuss. And then what do I do with this
- 8:35last four songs? And that was the most difficult
- 8:38part. Honestly.
- 8:40I so for me, like I'm some where around around where you all are,
- 8:45but I think I'm going to be wording it differently because I
- 8:49like to be difficult. I feel like strange laugh
- 8:54because I was telling Peter that it was difficult and in some
- 8:57ways, yes, it was. But what I realized is that it
- 9:01was An easy. Listen and I had a lot.
- 9:05After my first pass, what was difficult was cutting stuff.
- 9:11That was later in the discography because I really
- 9:14enjoyed it because because as you guys have all mentioned the
- 9:19consistency of the records. So anytime I had to cut
- 9:22something later, it hurt a lot more because it's like, this is
- 9:25really good but I've already got that sound represented from the
- 9:29front half of the catalog. And so like, Found.
- 9:34It wasn't so much difficult, it just hurt because there's all
- 9:37these great tunes that are in the later, part of the disc God,
- 9:39and it's like, well, you know, I only have 20 songs here, so,
- 9:43something's got to go and I might as well grab the stuff
- 9:46that, that has the fire in the first couple records.
- 9:49So, I, I'm, I'm pretty front-heavy here.
- 9:52I'll let you guys know that. So that brings us to, of course,
- 9:57based on this conversation, this isn't a massive discography.
- 10:00There's, there's a good amount of stuff here but it's not It's
- 10:04not Untouchable but there are four of us.
- 10:06So Jenny based on that, how many do you think will get through
- 10:09unanimously for the final say? I think I'm going really low on
- 10:13this. I think we're going to be it,
- 10:17it's just going to be whatever hits us personally.
- 10:20And I think we're going to be kind of all over the place with
- 10:22this. I think it's going to be like
- 10:25three, you're going really low. So we'll low be part of that.
- 10:30Guess we'll see guess. We'll find out Scott.
- 10:36I think on these things, Peter, I was going to say five I think
- 10:49that's going to be a lot of twos and threes here.
- 10:51So I'm going to go with 44. Yeah, that seems to be.
- 10:55It seems to be right. So now get again.
- 10:58I'm in the position of Do I go Ultra Optimist?
- 11:02Because I do feel like six is probably super super Optimist or
- 11:09do I go dick mode and go to that.
- 11:13Feels like a like a real dick move.
- 11:16I almost said to honestly, I mean maybe but I agree with you
- 11:24guys. I feel like it's going to be a
- 11:25lot of twos and threes. It's going to be hard to hit
- 11:28those those, you know. Animus I'll go Optimist.
- 11:32I'll go 60 go six even though I do feel like that's high.
- 11:35So all right we're going to find out which one of us actually
- 11:39gets the final say, we're going to take a quick pause and we'll
- 11:41be back with some more the program.

- 12:28discography, or at least what was available to us and plucked
- 12:31out. 20 songs are now mashed together in an attempt to create
- 12:34a top 10 circuit for you. In case, you have never given
- 12:37cracker the time of day. And the song was already
- 12:40mentioned. It's at the top of my list.
- 12:43I remembered loving. It was when it was on the radio
- 12:46back in the day and you know, hearing it, this was one of the
- 12:51two songs I knew going in. But hearing it again now.
- 12:54Like I don't know. Even remember the last time I
- 12:57had heard it, hearing it now, brought me back then but also
- 13:01was rather enjoyable. Now like it's that's a hard line
- 13:04to walk low. Yep.
- 13:10Yep, I don't have it. The first three, I think I'm
- 13:21gonna be a spoiler on this episode.
- 13:23I really do. Alright, I like the song it's
- 13:28just like it's one of those that got really overplayed and I
- 13:31listen to it in the context of the album but I don't listen to
- 13:34it individually. Okay.
- 13:37So we all got, we all got some reasons.
- 13:40It's got three and on an episode of 43 is almost as good as a
- 13:44unanimous. All right?
- 13:45Jenni yeah. All right.
- 13:48God, this is like probably my favorite song and it's not.
- 13:53It's I wouldn't say it's a good song, but it's so much fun and
- 13:56it's one that me and my friends used to sing and just be really
- 14:00obnoxious and sing like, walking down the boardwalk in Ocean City
- 14:04or wherever the hell we were and it's eurotrash girl.
- 14:09Yep. Yep yep.
- 14:13There we go. There we go.
- 14:21I said no every friggin word to that song.
- 14:25Every goddamn one. They played it like a like
- 14:29before. It got them like an album.
- 14:31They said played at their, you know, apparently the pair of the
- 14:34concerts a lot before they. That's why I got included as
- 14:37that. Hmm, like the bonus.
- 14:39Shrek Trek 69. Yeah.
- 14:46Forgot that this one takes like a second to get going.
- 14:49It does. Yeah.
- 14:53Apparently like when they put that out to I was reading about
- 14:58they could tell like when a lot of people put up bootleg
- 15:02versions of it or copies of it because they didn't realize the
- 15:05track was there. So they just want the
- 15:07traditional, like whatever it was like 13 tracks are where a
- 15:11lot of bootleg tracks at didn't have that track on it so far
- 15:16out. All right, we got one Scott.
- 15:24So one of my favorites because I think it's like a it's like a
- 15:28it's just a wacky song and it's like you know, is dr.
- 15:32Bernice God damn it. I love that one.
- 15:37Oh man. No I can't save you.
- 15:39I was hoping that one was gonna. Somebody was going to save you
- 15:42there. I feel like it tells a great
- 15:51story. It's like it's like a whole
- 15:53story and song and it kind of evokes like like Western like
- 15:58desert like type stuff. I took a long look at this one.
- 16:05These first two records are going to be hard.
- 16:08I think the find each other. Yeah, this definitely made my
- 16:11first pass and it almost got in like, it was remember what like
- 16:15right before the show where I was like, I just got to pick one
- 16:17that I like, yeah, I just got to do it.
- 16:19That was one of the ones I was looking at.
- 16:22And I went with like I always have like a weird pick like a
- 16:25super weird pick and that was like, right there with it. all
- 16:31right, Peter I'm gonna get the other hit out of the way teen
- 16:37angst. Yes yes yep.
- 16:41Yep I got it. Hey well there's my two Oh wait.
- 16:49No, I went the other way around 66.
- 16:54Because this is them, but it's also very different from the
- 16:57low. Yeah.
- 16:59For sure. For the record, I did think that
- 17:03these two songs were going to be unanimous.
- 17:05That's like, if I was betting on to, those were the two.
- 17:09Well, you are the spoiler on love, I know.
- 17:14Can't help it. I love the video, dude.
- 17:16That was a great video. Alright.
- 17:26Alright, where do I go? Hmm.
- 17:33I don't really feel this way but I hate my generation.
- 17:39I got it. I don't have that one.
- 17:43I do not it was on my first past.
- 17:45Same. All right.
- 17:47So it gets the to, that's fine. Justin and Peter Hanging On by a
- 17:55thread. All right, Jenny.
- 17:59All right. Where do I want to go?
- 18:00Oh my God. Somebody's just I have picked
- 18:05somebody just stupid songs just the stupidest shit.
- 18:12I think I would avoid the stupid for right now, for the moment,
- 18:19James River on gentleman's Blues, just because he's from
- 18:22Richmond. And its local representation.
- 18:26I've got it. Yep, me too.
- 18:28Okay, good. I do not, but it's still alive.
- 18:33Nice. I didn't realize he was from
- 18:38Richmond. I mean, I saw James River and I
- 18:40was like, oh, is that our James River, mmm-hmm?
- 18:45Honestly, I didn't know until like, I think Scott told me,
- 18:48like, within the past couple of years.
- 18:50For some reason, I always thought that they were from
- 18:52like, Arizona or California or I think camper van Beethoven was,
- 18:58is Richmond. Oh okay.
- 19:01Okay. All right, Scott.
- 19:06Let's see. Night falls off of Greenland.
- 19:21Nope. No, no, nope.
- 19:32So to kind of represent that and it kind of felt like an
- 19:36interesting. I surprisingly like Greenland
- 19:41and it had, it had a 60s, kind of vibe to it and I can now that
- 19:45you say that I could definitely hear that.
- 19:48Comparison. Now, this is again, another one
- 19:54of those bands, like because it's cracker, you think
- 19:57one-hit-wonder in, like, by the time, you're in the back, end of
- 20:00the discography, you're thinking, okay, well, this will
- 20:02be the easy part and I just go and wait, no, I like this.
- 20:07Oh shit, no, I like this. Oh shit, this is really good
- 20:10too. I really got in a Greenland.
- 20:15Yeah. All right.
- 20:18Peter About sick of goodbyes. I love that one.
- 20:26But I don't have it. I do not mean either of these
- 20:32nose. Let's see.
- 20:38No not sock sick. Oh my god, with the O's already.
- 20:43There we go. Rose Bowl face.
- 20:47Oh Goddamn consistent, such a consistency, such a great
- 21:01consistency, you know, you're listening to Cracker.
- 21:07I definitely think I had a weird bias against kerosene hat
- 21:11because listening to the songs out of context of the album like
- 21:15I've listened to the album front to back, I don't usually pick
- 21:19out like one song and listen to it.
- 21:22So like I just want to hear the entire album when I listen to
- 21:26this, you know? Yeah.
- 21:29All right. So.
- 21:29Well let's, let's Trot that theory out.
- 21:31Let's find out because I'll stay on kerosene hat, get off this
- 21:38No. Yes again that was one of the
- 21:43other two that I knew going at or the other one that I knew
- 21:46going in. All right, we got to for that
- 21:51alive. Actually at this point actually
- 21:53rather alive to 0 or rather alive.
- 21:56So we only got a couple threes, I think.
- 21:59All right, Jenny. Okay, let me let me go with
- 22:04stupid now because Scott and I were talking about this just
- 22:07before I realized that I could add more than ten songs and this
- 22:10was like the first one that went on El comandante.
- 22:15Oh man, are you serious? Fuck me.
- 22:23It's just a bag of weed, man. Like have it don't have it.
- 22:30I don't either I I realized I had a double like and I had one
- 22:37extra song right before we went on today and oh I had it down to
- 22:44that and one other song that's like nobody else is going to
- 22:46pick this. It was like my number 11.
- 22:52I was like I really want to include that. so I did, that was
- 22:57bad, bad move, but I did pick another Berkeley to Bakersfield
- 23:01song, so, L, coming down day. All right, Scott Well, I guess
- 23:10we can stick in Berkeley to Bakersfield March of the
- 23:13Billionaire's. Yeah, I've got that me too.
- 23:17Hey, there we go. And I think that would be
- 23:20unanimous. I always loved that the ones
- 23:24that you I thought this was like it's a nice twist to what they
- 23:32do. It's a great rock song
- 23:47at three. All right.
- 23:51Peter Going to go back to Greenland the Riverside.
- 23:59Oh, I think I have that one. Yeah, yeah, yep.
- 24:05Well no, I'm the asshole. There's no.
- 24:10I wouldn't have liked that. I got a broke down.
- 24:13Rowdy, I guess is the best way to describe it.
- 24:17That's a completely different way than.
- 24:22So, like, what I was mentioning earlier with the, the 60s kind
- 24:25of vibe in Greenland, like, I felt like this one.
- 24:29Had a really slow burn and it builds up and you get this like
- 24:32psychedelic kind of vibe towards the end that I absolutely loved
- 24:36because it was something that was still them, but it was
- 24:40different. Fuck.
- 24:46So, we're back to Mia. Hmm.
- 24:52Okay, well, there's quite a bit of this with their hits
- 24:57nostalgia. No.
- 25:00Fuck. Nope.
- 25:01I don't have it. Well fun, My Own by myself, it
- 25:10was bound to happen. Can't all bet 1,000.
- 25:16And a sports ball. What else can I say?
- 25:25That's them. It really is.
- 25:30All right Jenny. So since you mentioned
- 25:33Nostalgia, it's it's interesting that, you know, I've always felt
- 25:40like I got this nostalgic vibe from the album even when I first
- 25:44heard it, like there was something about it that just had
- 25:47this feeling of like like remembering something.
- 25:51Long time ago, and that song didn't hit for that for some
- 25:55reason. But what can I say?
- 25:57And there's like, the whole album kind of hits that vibe to
- 26:01me, and I was like, right down to the wire, trying to pick
- 26:05which song, I felt best represented that and I went
- 26:09with, I want everything. I want somebody to not say no
- 26:21for the record. I didn't expect this one to get
- 26:22through. I just wanted to mention it
- 26:26because I love it. It has that like I said that
- 26:31sense of just longing of like wanting something whether it's
- 26:37from a long time ago, or now or whatever.
- 26:40And I really love this song That's good song.
- 26:50All right, Scott. Let's see here.
- 27:02Where is it? Sorry my computer just shit the
- 27:11bed. Where did he go Greenland
- 27:14Greenland? Where did you go?
- 27:16I'm so glad she ain't never coming back.
- 27:23It was covering it was coming up our song.
- 27:25What is it called? And it's short.
- 27:34I don't have it. Nope, me neither.
- 27:39I did like that one specifically just for the title.
- 27:42I thought it was great. They're so snarky just jerks.
- 27:48It's stupid. I love it. all right, Peter How
- 28:02about 100 flower power maximum Buck?
- 28:05Yes. Fuck no I can't.
- 28:12It's got two though. It's got two before I we got
- 28:17three unanimous, so Jenny's right on the spot right now and
- 28:22we've got six in the conversation but that's
- 28:26including twos. So three of those are threes.
- 28:30So there's some twos at this if the show were to end right now,
- 28:35some twos would get in and something would get in from the
- 28:37trash. So, all right, all right, well,
- 28:45I keep looking at this one and I keep scrolling past it but uh,
- 28:48not no more. Can I take my gun to Heaven?
- 28:51Yes, you can. And also I have that song I do
- 28:55not don't have it ok to. Well at least nothing's getting
- 29:02in from out of the trash at this point.
- 29:05Officially all right. No ntp no ntp All right, Jenny.
- 29:13Oh man, I got to choose now. So since I was mentioning their
- 29:19snarky stupid vibe that they have mr.
- 29:23Wrong. That was a late cut.
- 29:28Damn, yeah, it was for me too, so I'm mrs.
- 29:30Wrong you so wrong. I cannot save you.
- 29:36I like how he's just like oh, you're looking for mr.
- 29:38Right, a meet. Look at me, I'm just a wrong.
- 29:42That ain't me. What a baby.
- 29:45What up, girl? Scott.
- 29:56Lonesome Johnny Blues, fuck me. I don't know.
- 30:05We are in the weeds here. Wrong wrong wrong.
- 30:08We're in the weeds here. All right, Peter.
- 30:16This is Cracker soul. I got it.
- 30:20No, do not. All right, so it's got to And we
- 30:27officially have conversation in it looking like some twos are
- 30:32given. Then there's plenty of gameplay.
- 30:34I don't know why I'm saying that I still have like 10 or 11 left,
- 30:38so yeah. Okay.
- 30:44How about this one? I'm a little rocket ship.
- 30:48Oh, your little no, yeah, nope. All right, Jenny.
- 31:04Oh, how about some more stupid? Just because I like how he says
- 31:09chicken fried steak in this. It's the dumbest fucking thing,
- 31:14but it makes me happy. Every time I hear him say you
- 31:17can make me some chicken fried steak.
- 31:20How can I live without you? Nope.
- 31:26No I ride my bike.
- 31:39I really don't but I don't have it.
- 31:43I thought I did but I guess I don't.
- 31:46I do not have it. Mmm.
- 31:50Yeah. Trying to find all these songs
- 31:53on the thing. Where is it?
- 32:02I can sing it for you. Well, I'm trying to find it on
- 32:06on the list. Does it go?
- 32:24Easier to look at. Ini.
- 32:30Are. There we go, Jesus.
- 32:31All right. Peter How about nothing to
- 32:39believe in? Yes, I don't either.
- 32:48I'm glad somebody else mentioned it because I like that one.
- 32:52That one must have been a rather lie cut because for some reason,
- 32:56that's another one where I thought I did have it.
- 33:01Okay, that's one of the songs that hits that Vibe of like they
- 33:04sound like they're doing classic rock, like the new modern
- 33:06classic rock. How about?
- 33:21How about hand me? My inhaler.
- 33:26Nope. Nope.
- 33:27Nope. That one I do.
- 33:31I knew I don't know why I there's a lot in the trash on
- 33:35this episode. Yeah.
- 33:37Oh yeah. There is All right, Jenny.
- 33:40All right I got to mention this one.
- 33:43I love it because it just sounds like it sounds like something
- 33:48that you would hear in a cutscene in Red Dead, torches
- 33:53and pitchforks and they specifically mentioned
- 33:56Pinkerton. So I'm sure that had something
- 33:58to do with the bias on that one. No, I took a good hard.
- 34:04Look at that one too. I love it.
- 34:09Okay, what y'all think? All right, Scott and say, I just
- 34:13like it. Yeah, I hate it.
- 34:16I'll just get this one out of the way.
- 34:18He's gonna have it, but I didn't have very many off of
- 34:22gentlemen's blues, and I'd probably say, it's the least
- 34:25favorite of all the albums, but trials and tribulations, Nope.
- 34:33I only had one from gentleman's Blues.
- 34:35I I didn't really care for that album.
- 34:40That's probably the only one that I didn't like that much.
- 34:44All right, Peter. Someday someday, I'll get it
- 34:52right. Not not today.
- 34:57Yes, yeah. There we go.
- 35:02Saved. Man, some twos are getting in
- 35:06this list for sure. Whatever.
- 35:10You know. Oh, no, it's fine.
- 35:12I just, you know, we are all good that three.
- 35:16That three pick? Yeah, looking pretty good.
- 35:18Yes, that's true too. Alright, I keep going past this
- 35:25one, so it's time to stop that don't fuck me up with peace and
- 35:28love. Ah, I got it.
- 35:33I do not. Great.
- 35:36Don't that was in that last round of consideration for me.
- 35:42It's two conversations going to be fucked.
- 35:45All right, Jenny, good question. Let's see where we at here?
- 35:51All right, let me let me roll up my weird pick because I like
- 35:55Walt. See things that sound like
- 35:58you're just lost on a raft in the middle of the ocean.
- 36:02That's how I feel about things. Sometimes Minotaur.
- 36:10I got it. Scott.
- 36:26I could be wrong. I could be right and I'm
- 36:27probably wrong. I'm sure give another thing.
- 36:32I got it. Okay, this is from Greenland and
- 36:51like like Jenny of saying, like they were doing some psychedelic
- 36:55stuff on this album and this I think that was really
- 36:58experimental for them. I'm not expecting this to get
- 37:02through, but a city, if me. God damn it.
- 37:07I wanted to put that and I didn't because I didn't think
- 37:09anybody else would have it. Yes, a my yeah, again it was on
- 37:15my list of 40 but I need to switch it back to album because
- 37:23he said Greenland. If I could spell.
- 37:36All right. That's how many misses we've had
- 37:40that. I stopped playing Clips.
- 37:43I noticed I was like well I guess we just saw get anymore.
- 37:46That's fine. Yeah there's just so many how
- 37:50about Where have those days gone?
- 37:56Hold on. That man.
- 38:02No. No.
- 38:04Nope. I'm okay.
- 38:11It was right there. That was the one.
- 38:14I had double because there's another version of that on
- 38:17Berkeley to Bakersfield. All right, Jenny.
- 38:24Well, speaking of Berkeley to Bakersfield and speaking of just
- 38:28striking out, I don't expect this to go in, but I love.
- 38:33I just love when they're just silly and I like Story songs,
- 38:38San Bernardino, boy, No, nope. Nope, it's fine.
- 38:45You know, I wanted to represent something that sounded like
- 38:48really country there and like that was that was the pick for
- 38:53me. Album.
- 39:00Mmm. I looked at California country
- 39:02boy for a minute. But what?
- 39:04I listen back to that one day. It was just like so like
- 39:07earnestly country sounding and this one was more like taking
- 39:11the piss out of country music and I had to go with that.
- 39:16Always go with taking the piss. All right, Scott, we all shine a
- 39:23light. No, no.
- 39:32The WWE have everybody from from this album.
- 39:37I don't know why. It wasn't a total mess.
- 39:41It just wasn't my favorite Peter.
- 39:48How about the title track kerosene hat?
- 39:54That was it was very close for me.
- 39:58I love that one. I love how it's like, it just
- 40:01sounds so lazy and like, but it has that poetic imagery in it.
- 40:06Fucking amazing, but I didn't pick.
- 40:09All right, so I've got five left.
- 40:11Maybe we do one more round and then dumped out that sound like
- 40:14a plan for everybody. Sounds good.
- 40:17I can't count. So I can't tell you how many I
- 40:19think. I've only got five left.
- 40:25Had so many misses, everybody should be roughly somewhere
- 40:28around there. Mmm.
- 40:35Well which one feels like it. Might get there.
- 40:41I'll go up near the top. How about movie star?
- 40:45Yes, I got it. Do not.
- 40:49Okay, we'll get three I couldn't get that damn song.
- 40:55Out of my head. I'll take a late.
- 40:57Late three. All right, Jenny.
- 41:02Um, I'm gonna go with. So like going with that classic
- 41:08rock, kind of vibe. There was a song, this is not my
- 41:11pick, but sweetness sweep. This will buy.
- 41:15So the tongue twister for some reason, really had that Vibe,
- 41:18but something about this one. Gave it the edge, like, it was
- 41:21kind of like again, kind of snarky and stuff.
- 41:24Like it's called I see the light.
- 41:28No, what happened was that Cracker the first album?
- 41:34No, I had a maybe on that one. I just like how he's like I see
- 41:40the light. Please tell me it's not a train.
- 41:45Like, I've literally had that exact same thought, like, oh I
- 41:49feel like I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but
- 41:51it's really just trained come to run me over coming to get me.
- 41:55Yeah. All right, Scott.
- 41:59Take me down to the Infirmary. Nope, like every everyone that I
- 42:06said no to on kerosene hat hurts.
- 42:09I don't have it. All right, Peter.
- 42:17Say Kaiser tan tan. Yu has I pronounce it.
- 42:22I don't have one, I don't know. all right, so Just to dump out
- 42:31here Ginny just brought this one up, but I have this one.
- 42:35Sweet. This whole pie, I have it.
- 42:41I do not but it sounded like a CCR song, like Jenny was saying
- 42:48how about wedding day. Nope.
- 42:56Wedding day one time machine. No, no, no.
- 43:08And last but not least, beautiful.
- 43:11Oh, I have that. I don't.
- 43:14Nope. Okay, to look bad.
- 43:18I loved listening to that when I was like, God, this this song
- 43:21could be in like their first or second album.
- 43:23Hmm. Like it just sounded exactly
- 43:25like their earlier stuff. All right, Jenny.
- 43:32So now I got to go through and find because I kept track of my
- 43:34list really weird today, and I got a fine.
- 43:37And what I had a bicycle Spaniard, just because it had
- 43:42like a weird James Bond, kind of a vibe to it, no better times
- 43:50are coming our way. I wish that's why I liked it
- 43:55because if you listen to it like they're like better, things are
- 43:58coming our way. But as you're listening to it
- 43:59you're like I don't think they really believe that.
- 44:02Like this story is not telling a good story.
- 44:07This is not going to be happy ending.
- 44:13See, I regret this choice now that I'm looking at it.
- 44:14Like I liked it when I listen to it, but it's the title track for
- 44:18the first track off. Sunrise in the land of milk and
- 44:21honey yalla yalla. Let's go.
- 44:25Nope. Nope.
- 44:27Let's no, let's no. It had that opening track energy
- 44:36to it. Yeah.
- 44:37But it was kind of like it was just kind of whatever.
- 44:43All right. Is that the last one?
- 44:46Yeah, that's it. All right, I got it.
- 44:48Okay. So I did a terrible job, keeping
- 44:49track of all my stuff so maybe repeat.
- 44:51And also I think I think I found one that I think it was Justin
- 44:56that said earlier, I Hate My Generation.
- 44:59Oh yeah, we doing next that one. Okay, so that was on my list.
- 45:02Okay. Okay, so that's a 3 now.
- 45:05Yeah, boom, my bad on that one. So I had happy birthday to me.
- 45:11Nope, give me one more chance. Give me one more chance
- 45:17Greenland. Nope.
- 45:20And life in the big city life in the big city.
- 45:25No. All right, just for fun, Peter.
- 45:29You want to whatever you got left.
- 45:32I had. Let's go for a ride.
- 45:35I forgot I was at, oh wait, no, I also had Big Dipper.
- 45:43Big Dipper. So many of these were like in my
- 45:46first pass or like came really close to being my list and know.
- 45:52We like I marked off pretty much everything that we that we said
- 45:57and like, dude, we have out of 91 90 songs.
- 46:02We must have marked off like half of them.
- 46:03Yeah, easily. It looks like at least 53 52 or
- 46:0853. Gerd between the four of us.
- 46:12We got three through unanimously which means Ginny you.
- 46:16Yeah. The final say, so you're a trash
- 46:18girl, much of the billionaires and teen angst are in.
- 46:23You got one, two, three, four, five, threes, which would bring
- 46:29us up to 8 which would mean we'd have one to convert.
- 46:32A to to converse. And then Jenny's final say,
- 46:34anybody have any problem with the threes going in now?
- 46:40Not good. All right, so do it.
- 46:42All right, brings I Hate My Generation, James River, low
- 46:47movie star, and the Riverside are now in as well.
- 46:53All right, so for the 2's in this will have you have 100
- 46:59flower power, maximum beautiful. Can I take my gun to Heaven?
- 47:03Don't fuck me up with peace and love.
- 47:05Get off this, I could be wrong. I could be right Minotaur,
- 47:09nothing to believe in someday sweet.
- 47:12This up high and this is Cracker soul.
- 47:15Is there anything Scott? That is kind of jumping out at
- 47:18you as like oh you know what this would round out our list?
- 47:20Well, get off. This is a great song and and and
- 47:31some days the kind of a different song that I feel like
- 47:33maybe we don't have like a I'm trying to remember the ones that
- 47:37we have, like some days kind of like a slower song.
- 47:41James River is a little bit of a slower.
- 47:43One, two! Yes, true.
- 47:48We managed to get really good representation on accident.
- 47:52Yeah, when we have three from kerosene hat.
- 47:54So it like if we want that to come into the conversation, We
- 48:01have get off. This is the only thing left from
- 48:04cares. Yeah.
- 48:05I was going to say, I know my opinion doesn't matter much
- 48:07because I didn't have that one, but I think we could lose that
- 48:11get off. Get off the list.
- 48:14Yeah, I think it's but like if we had like three songs to play
- 48:21with, I think it would still be alive.
- 48:23But the fact that we only have two, I feel like we probably
- 48:26between eurotrash girl in lo, I think we've got got At the hits
- 48:30covered. All right, so and teen angst.
- 48:35Oh yeah. And teen angst, my bed.
- 48:38Okay. Peter is anything jumping out at
- 48:43you? I want to say 100 fly 100 flower
- 48:50power maximum because it's in my notes I said, is cats.
- 48:54Punkish? Okay. even though the title is
- 48:59totally like hippie, let me cuz this one of the few that have
- 49:06that came up that I for some reason.
- 49:08Like it wasn't even, I'll come on.
- 49:17It's so quick to disconnect. Yeah, I would say we don't
- 49:21really have have this. It's super high energy.
- 49:28Yeah. And they they tend to be like
- 49:30middle to low energy. So like having something like
- 49:33that is I think it's a bonus. Any objections Scott.
- 49:45Yeah, that's fine. All right so that brings us up
- 49:52to our nine and that leaves Jenny with the final say oh my
- 49:58God, I should not have the final say on this.
- 50:02I'm going to be, I'm going to make a terrible choice.
- 50:07Let's see, we have one from that gets three.
- 50:17Oh my God. Could you could you play don't
- 50:25fuck me up with peace and love. Hmm, I remember that was really
- 50:29close for me. Hey, it's cracker.
- 50:54Like, even though I said they're there doesn't necessarily need
- 50:57to be album representation. I kind of want to make sure that
- 51:02we include something else from that first record.
- 51:08Okay, could you also play some day?
- 51:13Should I honestly don't know that one off the top of my head
- 51:16by title. Oh my God.
- 51:29I like the lyrics though. Yeah.
- 51:35My phone decided to leave the playlist of course.
- 51:44Okay. First thing I thought of was
- 51:58Soul, Asylum, but obviously, his voice is nothing like that,
- 52:03dudes. My first thought was literally
- 52:07runaway train, never going back. Oh dude, there is one song and I
- 52:12like I I kept wanting to add it because I liked it, but every
- 52:16time I listen to it, it sounded exactly like one headlight,
- 52:21waited my whole life. Yes.
- 52:26Yeah, this guy definitely sounds more like Jakob Dylan than the
- 52:29guy from Collective. Soul play.
- 52:32Play on that topic, play. Wait, am I whole life?
- 52:37And just just for funsies like, once it really gets into the
- 52:47verse, You just expect me to be like, but one Halo dancing
- 52:57around Gilmore. Yeah, it has.
- 53:02That Vibe so long ago, I don't remember when - it And I like
- 53:14the song like a yeah if I hadn't heard the Wallflower song it
- 53:18would have been fine. Okay, so when we listened to
- 53:26before, that was some day, right?
- 53:28I'm going with that one. Alrighty, it had that, that
- 53:32country vibe that I think is very important for their the
- 53:36representation. I don't think we hit anything
- 53:38with that kind of sound. Mmm, let me do this.
- 53:48All right. Let me also click and make this.
- 53:52Yes, that it is 10. Alright, so here's our 10, your
- 53:55trash girl, March, the Billionaire's Teen Angst.
- 53:58I Hate My Generation James River.
- 54:00Whoa, movie star. The Riverside. 100 flower power
- 54:04maximum and someday. Now, Jenny of those 10, which
- 54:12one of them is the one All of them.
- 54:20Okay. I have I have three thoughts.
- 54:22I'm going to put out there. You're a trash girl, just
- 54:26because I love it so much. Teen Angst is just so
- 54:31representative of them, but everybody's, I don't say, I
- 54:36wouldn't say everybody's heard it.
- 54:37I feel like a lot of people our age who would probably like
- 54:42Cracker have already heard it. But 100 flour, 100 flower power.
- 54:49Maximum has a has a draw for me too.
- 54:56What do you think? It's got?
- 54:58100% eurotrash grow because I think it represents them the
- 55:02best because it's got that storytelling aspect to it.
- 55:05It's a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
- 55:15I love your trash girl, but I don't think it works as a track
- 55:19one because it's a very slow build, so it's a long song.
- 55:24Yeah. So I'm leaning towards teen
- 55:26angst. I was looking at Teen Angst,
- 55:30Irlo. Honestly, I think more people
- 55:35have probably already heard low. I'm sure I heard Teen Angst, but
- 55:41it kind of got lost in the shuffle of life.
- 55:44And it didn't automatically come back to me.
- 55:49There's something always to be said about track one on the
- 55:53actual playlist. So, like track one album one,
- 55:57and it got me. So there is something.
- 55:58To say for that. Low is also a track one, isn't
- 56:04it? Yep.
- 56:05Yep, I think so. Yeah, I do like this.
- 56:08I'd like that. Like that, snare hit.
- 56:12I love that. I as much as like I said,
- 56:19they're their Energy's like mid to low and that's very
- 56:22representative of them, I think Teen Angst.
- 56:25Also I would pick Teen Angst over low, just there's the
- 56:31lyrics in it. It's so represents like that
- 56:34that snarky Vibe like what the world needs now is another folk
- 56:38singer. Like I need a hole in my head.
- 56:42Yeah. What the world needs now is
- 56:44another Frank Sinatra, so I can get you in bed like it's it's
- 56:50kind of trashy but it's also great and just just snarky and I
- 56:57love it. It's them.
- 56:59Hmm. It's a great Town Center.
- 57:05I also feel like they have a little bit of REM in their
- 57:07sound. I can definitely hear that.
- 57:10Yeah. Like the jangly guitar?
- 57:15So that we're going Teen Angst. I'm good with it.
- 57:19All right, number one, number one.
- 57:24So let's do that. Lock it in.
- 57:28Oh, how dare you? Let's rewind it and start from
- 57:30the beginning Teen Angst. What the world needs now,
- 57:35eurotrash? Girl, March the Billionaire's.
- 57:37I Hate My Generation, James River, low movie star, the
- 57:40Riverside, 100 flower power maximum and someday.
- 57:44Day rounds out our 10. Let's let teenagers get a little
- 57:49moment in the Sun. All right, there it is.
- 58:10What the world needs now is to pledge to oh hi Justin on
- 58:14patreon Patron. On.com slash.
- 58:16Oh hi Justin well doesn't really need that but I do.

- 59:08That would be cool. But also if you want to come
- 59:11play you hate everything we just said about cracker cool.
- 59:15You want to come play the signup.
- 59:18Sheet is right there. You scroll down just a little
- 59:19bit signup sheet, tell me what band you want to talk about, you
- 59:23know, if it is a band that we've already talked about maybe we
- 59:26might think of because we're thinking about getting some list
- 59:29contested out there. So like if there's a list you
- 59:31would like to contest, let me know.
- 59:33I'll figure out how we can how we can make that happen but just
- 59:37expect you know, we're going to be coming across some of these
- 59:39Lists again soon. So, and if you just want to talk
- 59:43about a band, we haven't talked about.
- 59:45I'll put it on a list and we will figure out we talk about
- 59:48cracker today. I'm just saying, like, we come
- 59:51on, we'll figure it out. Somebody put Hilary Duff on the
- 59:56list the other day, man, like that's going to happen.
- 59:58That's why I'm excited that shows going to happen.
- 1:00:01So just saying come play where a podcast I guess that's should be
- 1:00:07number one thing. But, um, You know, cool.
- 1:00:13I would like you to subscribe. That would be awesome.
- 1:00:15I would like you to, like, and comment those both those things
- 1:00:18would be awesome. But to me, the absolute best way
- 1:00:20you can help me is by telling somebody else that you listen to
- 1:00:22deprogrammed that helps beyond anything that I could ever say
- 1:00:29in an ad at the end of the podcast.
- 1:00:31So instead of talking more, what I'm going to do is say cracker,
- 1:00:35let him love and people will see you next week.
