• 1:32
  Speaker 10: What's up, and welcome to Movie Meltdown's Attack of the
• 1:34
  Speaker 10: Killers soundtrack. I am Brian, and with me this week,
• 1:37
  Speaker 10: we have very special guest, co-host, Jonathan, who you may remember,
• 1:43
  Speaker 10: if you've been paying attention, last year sat in with
• 1:45
  Speaker 10: us for the second of the West Fest episodes, so...
• 1:49
  Speaker 10: If you want to hear that, you should go back.
• 1:51
  Speaker 10: I believe it's Attack of Wes Anderson 2, which was
• 1:54
  Speaker 10: on about a year ago. And you can actually hear
• 1:56
  Speaker 10: some awesome live music from him and his band Nelly Pearl.
• 2:00
  Speaker 10: So welcome to the show.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: Thanks for having me, Brian. It's a pleasure to be here.
• 2:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I really liked what we had going on last time.
• 2:07
  Speaker 10: So yeah, since then we've been like, we need to
• 2:09
  Speaker 10: sit down and do like a regular version for you.
• 2:12
  Speaker 10: That was a very specific shoved into the Wes Anderson
• 2:15
  Speaker 10: thing last time.
• 2:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: Which, that was okay. Wes Anderson's a favorite of mine.
• 2:20
  Speaker 10: He's got a lot of potential and stuff, yeah, that's
• 2:23
  Speaker 10: sort of all over the map with him. Things you
• 2:25
  Speaker 10: wouldn't expect to be in a Wes Anderson movie sometimes. So, yeah,
• 2:29
  Speaker 10: it's interesting what he pulls from. But this time, it's
• 2:32
  Speaker 10: just your show. We're just handing it over to you
• 2:35
  Speaker 10: so you can go wherever the hell you want. Anything
• 2:38
  Speaker 10: featured in a movie, I like just kind of throwing
• 2:41
  Speaker 10: it out there.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: So.
• 2:43
  Speaker 10: I'm turning most of this over to you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 2:46
  Speaker 10: Do you want to kick things off with the band,
• 2:50
  Speaker 10: like discussing you guys just put out a new album?
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we can talk about that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 10: And then we'll get into your picks.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely. So Nelly Pearl is my band, and we
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: are located here in Louisville, Kentucky. We just came out
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: with a new record, Lonesome No More, on Friday, February 26th.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: So far, we're doing pretty well. We've had some success
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: with the album on Radio Play and on Spotify and
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: got a feature on the Huffington Post.
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: That's pretty impressive.
• 3:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah. That's pretty impressive.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: We're excited about some of the things that are happening.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: We've been working for a while, and we manage ourselves.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: We're not on a label. We finance ourselves.
• 3:33
  Speaker 9: I mean, at this point, as most fans, it seems like, that's.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: I don't know, man. Like there's there's definitely independent artists.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: It's coming back for sure. But there's there's still a
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: lot of big money in music. And I mean, it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: it's hit and miss.
• 3:48
  Speaker 10: Like there are people doing it that way and still
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: not make anything. And then there are people that have
• 3:54
  Speaker 10: signed it and are making decent money and can live.
• 3:57
  Speaker 10: And then there are other people that are independent and
• 3:59
  Speaker 10: doing both.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: So.
• 4:00
  Speaker 10: It's like there's no set way to do it, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 10: no guarantee either is going to work for you.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: That is true.
• 4:05
  Speaker 10: It's a battle for you guys.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: We came up with a business plan a couple years
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: ago and just kind of mapped out where we wanted
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: to be and what we wanted to do, and we
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: came up with these ideas, and we started meeting every week.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: There would be three or four of us that would meet.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: We had a buddy of ours, Matt Davis, started working
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: with us as management, and we would just brainstorm ideas,
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: and we'd all tackle one thing or another, and it
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: made it so much easier Um, cause for a while
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: I had started the band and so for a while
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: I had done everything, you know, I was booking all
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: of our shows, but we weren't nearly as active and
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: nearly as big.
• 4:40
  Speaker 10: And so it gets overwhelming. I know just doing this
• 4:43
  Speaker 10: and trying to keep on top of all the things
• 4:45
  Speaker 10: I need to be doing every week. So it's yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 10: probably more complicated once you get into.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: That comes every week too. It's like, Oh, we need
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: to do this now. We got to do that. Oh,
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: somebody is going to handle this. And so having the
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: team to do that has really helped. And we put
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: together a plan to raise money on Kickstarter for this record.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: And we raised $ 10, 000 in pre-sales.
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: That's amazing turnout.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: It was pretty good. We were scared. It was stressful
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: the entire time. And we've made it with just a
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: few hours left on our campaign. We got the goal.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: And so we were able to keep the money. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: we easily went over budget on our record. It's probably
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: easy to do. Months after that. Well, you guys went.
• 5:27
  Speaker 9: Out to the studio.
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: You left town.
• 5:29
  Speaker 9: Where did you go to do it?
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: We recorded in Michigan.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: We recorded in Plymouth, Michigan. Our drummer is from the
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: area and has some buddies that run a studio there
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: that's incorporated with the school. And they get grants every
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: year to keep their gear updated and make sure they
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: have have the stuff that the kids and the students
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: need to go into the field. And so we got
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: access to a lot of that gear. It was really
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: something awesome.
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: I'm glad to say what little I could, I contributed.
• 5:59
  Speaker 10: And I only mention that because I hate that I've
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: had to ask for money over the years.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: You contributed $ 40, right? Somewhere in that neighborhood. $ 50 pledge, maybe? $ 700.
• 6:09
  Speaker 10: $ 700. No, but even if it's just like what little
• 6:16
  Speaker 10: I can on those things. And that's why I because
• 6:19
  Speaker 10: I see such little return when I try to do
• 6:20
  Speaker 10: those things. So now I'm like, well, I don't want
• 6:22
  Speaker 10: to be one of those jerks that's trying to do
• 6:23
  Speaker 10: it and then doesn't support anybody else. So now, like
• 6:26
  Speaker 10: the last two or three years, like every time I
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: see one that somebody I know and want to help support.
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: even if it's 10 bucks, like I try to kick
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: in something just because if everybody does that, it does
• 6:37
  Speaker 10: make a difference, but everybody doesn't do that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: So, but it's okay. You know, cause there, some people
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: do do that. Some people pledge five bucks and a
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: couple people pledged a thousand and that it, it was
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: all necessary. It was all, it all went somewhere that
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: needed money to go to.
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: Well, I really, as much as people kind of, have
• 6:58
  Speaker 10: issues with it. I'm like, I think it's a really
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: good process because it, it gives the, you know, you're
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: not just randomly giving them away money. Like you're getting
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: what you're eventually going to get anyway.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: It's just paying for it up front. That is the
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: struggle of the campaign. That is, it's convincing people or
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: not convincing them. It's just letting them know that you're
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: not donating.
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: It's not a charity situation.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: It's a pre-sale. So we tried very hard. We did
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: a lot of homework. I'm kind of OCD in certain ways,
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: I guess. And I guess I was just scared, too,
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: that if we're going to say, hey, we need this money,
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: I wanted to make sure we had our stuff right.
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: You can back it up. Here's what we're doing with it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: We did tons of research on Kickstarter campaigns, and we
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: picked out a few campaigns that were active, and we
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: followed those to see what they were doing. And we
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: studied a bunch of failed campaigns and what they did
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: wrong compared to ones. There's a band from Bloomington and
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: kind of from Louisville, Murder by Death. And they've done
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: two Kickstarters for their last couple albums. They're a huge band.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: They raised like $ 300, 000 or something, $ 150, 000 on their first record,
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: and then $ 250, 000 or something on their second record. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: we're like, whoa.
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: I have not had that response on my endeavors into fundraising.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: We modeled our Kickstarter after theirs. I studied that thing
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: down to every nook and cranny, and it was like, okay,
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: this is foolproof right here. What they've done here is perfect.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: And as long as we can get it out there,
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: and people just watch the minute-long video or just read
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: one paragraph and see that pre-sale, and they like our
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: music already or they were going to buy the record,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: and we can make it happen. We did have to
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: bug the hell out of everyone we knew. I am
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: certain that there's a lot of people out there that
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: were upset with me because I haven't talked to them
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: in years, and they got a Facebook message from me
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: asking for money.
• 8:44
  Speaker 10: Hey, what's up, money?
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: Two weeks later, got another one. They're like, dude, we're
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: not even really friends, man. I'm certain that I, a
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: couple people wrote me back were like, please don't write
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: me anymore. I was like, I'm sorry. It's just, this
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: is my future. All right. I got to do it again.
• 8:59
  Speaker 10: I feel that I, even with just like trying to
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: spread the word about anything at this point, I get that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: Like recently I was just trying to put out like, Hey,
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: here's this new episode we did with this person. And like,
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: I had one person that was like, why are you
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: sending me a message? Like, I'm like, you're fans of this.
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: I'm just telling you it's a thing that's out there.
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: And he got, really pissed. And I'm just like, what
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: is your deal? All I'm doing is telling you this
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: thing exists. You don't even have to go listen to it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 10: And then I've had that same group of people. I
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: had somebody who'd never heard the show before. And was
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: thrilled and was just like, hey, this is awesome. Hey,
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: I'm checking out other. You never know what you're going.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: To get from people. It's like door-to-door sales, man. You've
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: got to be shameless self-promotion.
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: But just in general, people calm down. It's not killing
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: you or anything. If you don't care, just ignore it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: But the fact that people get upset about that stuff,
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: I'm just like, it's the internet.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: If you don't sweat any of this nonsense or spam
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: or people asking you to like click on a link
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: then you shouldn't be on the internet like.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: I'm not a robot doing it i am a human
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: being and i'm telling you about this nonsense that i
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: did with my life if you don't like it just
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: ignore it like everybody else yeah he's probably had a
• 10:07
  Speaker 10: bad day well i know last time i i did
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: a little bit of you know how the band come
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: together and and We covered some basics, so again, go
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: back and hear that if you want. The only thing
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: I didn't really, because we talked a little bit about,
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: you talked about how the guys came together, and we
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: did a little on the setting it up to have
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: dueling lyricists and singers, and that was my question. Where
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: did Rachel come from? Because I think that adds such a,
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: dynamic to nelly pearl that is different than i'm assuming
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: any other band you've done and just yeah it gives
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: you guys such a distinctive sound and you two work
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: so well together because your your voice is so great
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: anyway but then balancing it out with hers is kind
• 10:51
  Speaker 10: of amazing so where what planet did she come.
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: From that is the question right there i do have
• 10:57
  Speaker 11: i have theories we like to in nelly pearl we
• 11:02
  Speaker 11: we say planet Zuton is actually where she came from.
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: And Greg, our bassist, is also from that same planet.
• 11:10
  Speaker 11: They are of the same species. We're not sure exactly
• 11:14
  Speaker 11: what Zutonians are like, but they really are a couple
• 11:18
  Speaker 11: of weirdos. And the whole band is a bunch of weirdos.
• 11:21
  Speaker 11: But Rachel and Greg have kind of a unique chemistry.
• 11:27
  Speaker 11: Both of them, their favorite band was the B-52s when
• 11:30
  Speaker 11: they were in high school. but they're like 20 years apart,
• 11:33
  Speaker 11: 25 years apart. And so they went to high school.
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: Kind of sounds right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: He went to high school in the, in the, in
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: the late seventies, early eighties.
• 11:42
  Speaker 10: Well, that's when they were like a cool up and
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: coming band. And then she caught it when they were
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: almost retro.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: She, yeah, he, I, he told me the story about
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: when he got turned on to the B-52s and I
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: thought it was a great story. Uh, cause we do
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: a B-52s tribute now called Jelly Swirl. And, um, uh,
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: it's because they love the band so much. I had
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: always written the band off of love shack and never
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: loved it and never, uh, never given a chance.
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: Kind of like the kiss of death for them. Like
• 12:09
  Speaker 10: it's your biggest hit. It's what you'll be known for forever.
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: And Oh yeah, that's what you'll be known for forever.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: So I made a millions of dollars to tour it
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: all over the world at great success. But I, the
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: songs I ever played, we play it and it's not
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: that terrible. I guess it's no rock lobster. It's not
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: rock lobster. Um, so, uh, I got into the B-52s
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: through those guys. I listened to their first record and
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: was like, man, that album is just incredible.
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: Well, and so original at that time.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I'm like, nope.
• 12:38
  Speaker 10: I mean, now people do that kind of weird stuff.
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: But at that time, nobody did that nonsense.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: They were super weirdos. So Greg says that he told
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: me that he discovered them up until that point that
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: he had listened to them. He had, I don't know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: been into like, More rock, I would guess. Maybe even
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: some hair metal and stuff. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: He likes Boston.
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: I know that. Now we're classic rock.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: And so he said he was getting in, I think,
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: an MG midget, the car. He drove a little convertible
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: two-seater car.
• 13:17
  Speaker 10: The old school ones, yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: And he said it was set real low to the ground.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: And he was getting in the car. And it was
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: up next to the curb. And he looked down. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: there was a B-52's cassette of their second album.
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: Nice.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: I believe. What is that? Wild Planet? Is that what
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: that's called?
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: The universe wants you to be a B-52's fan. You
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: can't argue whatever planet you're from. You can't argue with
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: the universe.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: And so he saw it and he was like, man,
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: what's that? And he said he put it in and
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: just never heard that before. And so, yeah, you're right.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: They wanted.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: The gods wanted him to be a fan.
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: You can't fight him.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: So anyway, he's from outer space. Rachel's from outer space
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: as well. Theory is confirmed. I actually met Rachel on
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: a dating website. And I don't remember. I think it
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: was plentyoffish.com.
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: I've never heard of it. That's a scary place, by
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: the way. I've never been there. It's been a long time.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: It's freaking scary. I haven't been single for a couple
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: years now, so I haven't... It's still scary. Yeah, I figured.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: I never had much luck on there, honestly, at all,
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: meeting anybody. I went on a few dates, and it
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: never really worked out. But I saw Rachel, and if
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: anybody that's listening knows what she looks like, then... You'd
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: know what you would experience if you're on a dating
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: website and you see a picture of this girl.
• 14:44
  Speaker 10: Especially that dating website. You see her. It's a whole
• 14:47
  Speaker 10: other world.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: She's holding a... I remember the picture because she was
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: wearing this skin-tight white dress that I've seen her wear since.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: And she was playing with a different band. She had
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: played in one other band before, Nellie Pearl. She was
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: playing with this band. I don't remember their name. She
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: played a couple months with them. And they stuck her
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: on bass guitar. Even though she didn't play bass guitar...
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: And she was holding this.
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: That's what girls do in bands.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Exactly. They're like, you can sing. You can also play
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: bass guitar. You have to hold a bass. She's like, whatever.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: So they gave her this bass guitar. She didn't even
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: own one. And it's a Fender.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: Or a gibson firebird uh bass just a gorgeous cool
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: bass guitar and i said like and it's her holding
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: this like it looked like she was playing so i
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: was like.
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: Who is this girl you're messaging her but you're like
• 15:33
  Speaker 10: yeah who cares about you.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: Let's talk about that guitar let's talk about that she's
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: like oh this isn't gonna go well and so we
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: you know like we we messaged back and forth and
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: she came out to this gig that i like a
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: weekly gig i was doing i played three or four
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: hours of covers at a bar and And she got
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: up and sang one or two with me and she
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: was really good. And then, you know, we did that
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: a couple times. And then I got this gig playing
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: a law firm's Christmas party and I invited her to
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: play with me. It was like four hours long and
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: I invited her to come and sing like 30, 45 minutes.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: And just cover songs like Fleetwood Mac. And I'd play
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: guitar and she'd sing away. And she did great. And
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: I made like 600 bucks at that gig. And so
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, I was like by myself.
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: I was like, dang.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: It was a good deal. It was the nicest single
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: payday I've had in music playing live.
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: So more law firms, kids. Yes. Go hang around law firms.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: The Christmas party, they were generous. Well, they tipped me
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: really well and everything. And so I was just, I was, man,
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: I was really happy. We had a good night.
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: I was like, let's go out and celebrate.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: And so we went out and we got pretty toasty.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: We were drinking and, and we kissed and like, I
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: liked her. We had been on a couple of dates.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: And so like, we like made out a little bit
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: and I, I really liked her. And the next day,
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: I text her and didn't hear back. And the next day, nothing.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: It was like three days go by and she doesn't
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: call me back or anything. And then finally, I sent
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: her a message. I was like, hey, I really like you.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Do you want to go on another date or something?
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: I was like, really? I think you're cool.
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: And she was like, oh, dude, I'm.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Not really into you like that. We could be friends
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: and all this. And I was just like, you know what?
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Screw this girl. So I didn't talk to her for months.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: She hurt my feelings because I liked her and she's like.
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: I'm right there with you. This is most of my
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: life right here.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: You're just great. So I was like, screw this girl.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: I don't want to hang out with her. And I
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: was playing in Nelly Pearl. And then I went to Mexico.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: I've done that several times. I just hitchhiked down to Mexico.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: And while I was down there, our current singer at
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: that time quit. And me and her had started the group.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: And she decided she wasn't really into it and she
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: was going to move to nashville and start a new
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: thing for herself down there doing another business and whatever
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: it's perfectly fine it left us in a bit of
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: a bind because we had a gig booked uh it
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: was like a month the gig was like a month
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: away i was in mexico and our singer quit and
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: so the guys are like well we need a new
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: singer you know anybody and i.
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: Was like Yeah, but I'm mad at her.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was like, I know somebody. I was like,
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: I don't like her very much right now.
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: She's really good, and she's a stupid head.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and so we brought her to a rehearsal, and
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: she just knocked everybody's socks off. Just like, jeez. Just,
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: you know, she crushed it. And so the rest is history.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: You know, she just fit in so nicely and added
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: such a new, weird dynamic. All of us were born
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: in different decades, right? And all of us were born
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: in different states and it's just, you know, it's just
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: a weird, weird mix.
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: It's an interesting mix.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: And it works out really well.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: She, she fit in, she fit in like a charm.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: It took her a minute to really like see how
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: we work. We're all like, Nelson is from Michigan. Greg
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: lives in Northern Indiana now. And I'm from kind of
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: the Indy area in between here and Indy. And I've
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: spent a lot of time up there and, we all
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: act more like Yankees and Northerners when we're just going
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: at it, you know, we, we love each other and
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: we're not personally offended, but we got to get this
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: crap done, man. Like what the hell was that? And
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: it took a while for Rachel to, to adapt to that.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: I don't know. Like we, we definitely, I had to
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: learn patience in certain ways and we all had to
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: adapt to having a, you know, a young, more sensitive, um,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: being in the, in the group. And, uh, but she
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: also had to, had to toughen up a little bit.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: And she did. She, she calced over to a degree
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: and she can take it. She can throw it back.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: She knows how to deal with that. She's dude, just
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: shut up sometimes. Like, all right, you're right.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I will.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: Well, for people who may not be familiar with, it,
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: what do you want to kick it off with to
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: kind of give people, I'm assuming from the new album,
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: what's a good intro for people if they aren't familiar
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: with you?
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I'd say the single that we have out right now
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: is great. We got added to the Pulse of Americana playlist.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: It's an official Spotify playlist. It has like 150,000 followers.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: And they put that song in there last week. And
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: we've seen like 15,000 spins since then on it. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: it's doing really well. And I think it's a great tune.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: It was that tune that wasn't going to even make
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: it to the band. It was the tune I wrote.
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: I didn't even want to play it for anybody. And
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: I played it for the right person. And she said,
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: you got to do something with that. And we did.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: And it's going really well. So Live Die is the
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: name of that song.
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: Let's go into that right now.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: .
• 21:03
  Speaker 12: .
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: So I spent
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: some time alone.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: And got to know me What better place than there
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: where I.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Was laying on the ground? Well I don't wear dope
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: suits and I don't drink red fancy wine I don't
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: drive a car that even exists But I do what
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: I do And hell.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I'm doing fine Money won't determine my.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Wills Live before you die Everybody Well, this goes out to.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: All of my friends with sleepy eyes That have learned
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: it sneaks up on you fast Get.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Up on the.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Plow, wake yourself from dreary times Cause sleepy days can
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: very easily last.
• 23:05
  Speaker 13: I was sinking fast, falling straight down through the floor.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Like so many times, myself, I've not felt right.
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: Our honey is so sweet.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: It's better than before.
• 23:22
  Speaker 14: If we could learn to only sleep at night.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Live before you. you die before you die before you
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: die before you die before you die before you die.
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: All right, so at least we've got a feel for
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: Nelly Pearl now. So I guess we will let you
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: just dive into the soundtrack picks. So you last time
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: seemed like you were a pretty big movie fan anyway.
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: Has that always also been in there with the music?
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's been strange. I've gone through periods
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: of my life where I was more into film and not.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: These days, I don't know, man. I don't get excited
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: about a lot of movies these days.
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: It's a different... world, really. It's one of those, because
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: yesterday I heard.
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: Somebody go, they just don't make good movies anymore.
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: But they were referencing something from the 90s when they
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: said it. I was like, wait, the classic era of
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: film you're going with is the 90s? So I was
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: just like, you know, I'm not even going to get
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: into that conversation. But I was thinking, I'm like, there's
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: great stuff out there now. It's just sometimes you have
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: to look for it. Sometimes it's not the kind of
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: stuff you would expect. It's still a really good you know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: film situation to come into now, but it's just weird.
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: It's just different.
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: It's not the same as it was even 10 years ago.
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: Definitely not 20 or 30 years ago. Like, it's just
• 25:22
  Speaker 10: a weird scenario now.
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: That's true.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: I also don't own a TV. I did own a
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: nice flat screen for a bit, and I enjoyed watching
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: films on there, and I find myself watching more, like,
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: I don't know, like The Last Waltz or something like
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: that from the band Scorsese. Like, I love that. And
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: that was a really artistic look at a show, but
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: also a documentary. Yeah, a version of it. Stuff like that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: But now, if I watch TV, I just have my computer,
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: and I don't really like watching movies. I don't want
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: to do a movie in Injustice by watching it on
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: a crappy computer.
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: It's not ideal.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: I do it.
• 26:01
  Speaker 10: Occasionally now you can kind of link everything up to
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: your tv so i don't have to do it as
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: much anymore but yeah for a while there i was
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: doing a lot because it was the only way i
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: could find some stuff or it was whatever was streaming
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: but yeah now you can kind of jack it to
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: your tv so i went through.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: A phase when i lived in portland when torrents first
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: came out and they weren't never heard of them i
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: don't know anything.
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: About that i don't endorse so like um I.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: Got into film when I lived in Portland a few
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: years ago when I found out about opportunities and ways
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: to watch films at less cost. There was a nice
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: theater that I went to out there. It was an
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: old historic theater, and they served local beer and beer.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: handmade pizza by the slice and the movies were $ 4
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: brand new movie for four bucks.
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: Trying to pitch that kind of idea around here. I
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: don't know that we'll ever get it together. It was
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: nobody supports that kind of thing.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know if this, I don't know how this
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: place stayed afloat.
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: Really?
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: It was a tiny little theater, but it was right
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: next to a couple bars on like a smaller street
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: and smaller neighborhood, you know, it was like a, so
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: there was a lot of foot traffic right there, but
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: it wasn't too busy and, And so that's why we
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: liked it is because we go in there and the
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: place wouldn't be packed and wouldn't be loud. And I
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: went in there and watched. Alice in Wonderland, the Johnny
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: Depp version.
• 27:22
  Speaker 15: Oh, Lord.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: When that came out. I'm sorry. Well, I drank some
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: mushroom tea before we did that.
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: You're experiencing Alice in Wonderland, probably the way it was
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: meant to be.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: That was the only time I've seen that movie, and
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: every time I bring it up, people are like, ooh,
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: that movie.
• 27:36
  Speaker 10: I was like, I didn't think it was that bad.
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: It was amazing when you're in the movie.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: I was experiencing it on another level, so.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: Let's jump into some of these movie picks I think
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: the first one I have to go with is the
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: earliest one I can remember affecting me in childhood is
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: the Disney's Robin Hood soundtrack I think there's probably a
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: lot of folks around my age that probably would agree
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Roger Miller did a lot of the music for that
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: if not all of it and he's a notable country
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: songwriter A very notable country songwriter.
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: I just referenced it on the Facebook page because the
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: guy who did the voice of Robin Hood just died. Oh, really? Yeah,
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: this last month, I think.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: I didn't hear that.
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: And he wasn't really a voiceover. He'd done mostly theater.
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: Really? So it's interesting that they just sort of imported
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: him in from the theater and he did a couple
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: of voiceover jobs and not really much in movies.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: That's funny.
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: I always loved that one as a kid. It was
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: one of, I didn't, They were like hit and miss
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: ones with Disney. I guess every kid has whichever ones
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: they latch onto. But I always liked that one. I
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: think because it is more of the adventure kind of thing.
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: It wasn't like the princess versions. It was more action-ish.
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: So yeah, I think I always got into that. And
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: I think I just like the way that they assign.
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: I like that he's a fox and John's the bear.
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: It's kind of a fun way that they attach the
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: animals that they usually throw into the movies into that
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: classic story.
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: Roger Miller was the rooster.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: No, yeah.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: He was the banjo picking, the gourd banjo.
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: The minstrel-ish.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the traveling minstrel. Yeah, he, I mean, there's several
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: songs on there that I thought were really notable in
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: that he would just be kind of like picking around.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: There's a scene, and the song that I chose is
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: in Nottingham, and I believe the scene is where they're
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: all in jail. Robin Hood's disappeared or been thrown in
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: jail himself, and the, what is it, Prince Prince John
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: has everybody thrown in jail for tax evasion and whatnot
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: and the roosters chained up in jail too and all
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: the little mice are chained up in jail and all
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: the animals are in there and he's still got his
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: banjo and he picks this song not in Nottingham and
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: I always thought that was very poignant moment in.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: That movie Every town has its ups and downs. Some
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: towns ups outnumber the downs. But not in Nottingham. I'm
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: inclined to believe If we weren't so down.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: We'd up and leave.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: We'd up and fly if we.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Had wings for flying.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Can't you see the.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Tears we're crying.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Can't there be some happiness for me Not in Nottingham.
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: Funny is I think that's the one I always remember
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: and maybe it's just the most catchy of them yeah
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: because that's the well it's just every town yeah yeah
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: that's the one I I all again I kind of
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: remember that there's music in the rest of it but
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: that's the one that I always kind of knew some
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: of the lyrics like it actually stuck with me even
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: to this day so.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: And it also now as a country fan I love
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: it because it's clever. It's still country clever, not in Nottingham.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: It's just like no reason to do that except for
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: the fact to try to be a little clever. And
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: that's one thing that I love about songwriting and why
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: I'm a songwriter is sitting down and I don't really
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: like puzzles so much, but this is the kind of
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: puzzle that I like.
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah, figuring out the way to make it work is
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: its own puzzle.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what can I put in there that rhymes? I
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: did it yesterday. I had this song I was working on,
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: and I had everything written out, but I just didn't
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: like two lines. So I was like, hmm. And I
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: sat there and worked with it for a while and
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: then I figured it out and I rearranged some stuff and.
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: Was like, yes!
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: I literally went, yes! And my girlfriend was like, what
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: is that? I was like, I just figured it out.
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: Country clever.
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: I nailed music.
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: It's all done now. I figured it out. I'm done.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: My life's work is complete.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Alright.
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: What is next on the list?
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: Next, I would have to say a really significant soundtrack
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: in my life. As a kid, was Saturday Night Fever.
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: Nice.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: Surprisingly, the movie was not, I don't remember the movie
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: as much as the soundtrack.
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: We just had an episode of the original recipe show
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: where one of the guys was discussing how he hadn't
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: seen it and he just knew it by the way
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: that we all kind of know of it in pop culture.
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: And when you watch it now, It's a very different experience.
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: And it's not really what he expected or wanted. So
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: it's a whole different. If you go back and watch
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: it now, you may be surprised what you find. But
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: the soundtrack is its own thing.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah. And my mom loved it. My mom loved the
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: movie and the soundtrack. And she had the soundtrack around.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: So that's where I came about with listening to that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: And I remember I wore, because it was a double disc.
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: It was on CD by the time I got it.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: And I wore that out and eventually just stole it
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: from her and just listened to it so much because
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: there was so much interesting stuff on there. I love
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: the Bee Gees.
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah, everybody thinks of just the Bee Gees, but it's
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: funny when you see some of those other tracks on
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: there and I'm like, oh yeah, I forgot about that one.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: One that I really wanted to point out was A
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Fifth of Beethoven by Walter Murphy.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: A Fifth of Beethoven by Walter Murphy Thank you.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 35:29
  Speaker 12: Thank you.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: That one is really interesting. And that was one that
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: I remember as a kid, just like, cause you know,
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: the song, you know, the melody, but it was just
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: done in a different way. And at that time, uh,
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: when I was first got into it, I bet it
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: was like early nineties is when I started listening to
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: that soundtrack. Um, electronic music wasn't so overproduced that you're
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: just like oh gosh another one of these like i
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: don't know who the hell's doing that or who's making
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: that sound but like this is interesting enough yeah he's
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: like man like i know like that could have very
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: well been an orchestra playing that or they could have
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: you know they could have been slicing that up but
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: it's very artistically done i dig that track.
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: In the 70s they're just kind of figuring that stuff
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: out you know it's like they've been working with you
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: know organs and whatnot for years but like they really
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: started getting weird and experimental by the time he hit
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: the 70s yeah yeah it's a.
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: Weird disco classical music yeah it's wonderful yeah I like
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: that one a lot but I also like and I
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: mean the Bee Gees though knocked it out of the
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: park they they made me a lifelong fan through the
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: disco which I you know got to a point where
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: I started liking Nirvana and was like man disco really
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: does suck and now as an adult I can see
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: that I'm allowed to like them both. And the Bee
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: Gees are a really incredible band that, as an adult,
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: I got to dig into, that I was a fan
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: of their disco. And then I was like, wait, they're
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: not just a disco band? They didn't just do this
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: one soundtrack?
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: They had a whole career before that that nobody remembers now?
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: I recently saw a video of them. I follow Barry
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: Gibb on Facebook. And it looks like he posts his
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: own content because it's... It's a lot of stuff, but
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: it's like, oh, here's a picture of the family from
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: Christmas in 94. It's very personal stuff sometimes.
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: I kind of like when people do it. If you're
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: going to bother to do it, I kind of like
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: when it's like, hey, here's what I'm doing. If you care,
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: you can add this. If not, then don't worry about it.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Him and Brian Wilson are both the same. Post a
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: lot of pictures of their family and their friends and
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: just like, hey, just smiling today. Hope you're smiling too.
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: Super positive guys.
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: I have a few like that that I'm really glad
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: that I, again, rare that I like things and find
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: them useful on the internet, but Every once in a while,
• 39:04
  Speaker 10: there's a page that I'm like, I'm kind of glad
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: I see their feed coming off there.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: He recently, Barry Gibb recently posted a video of them,
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: the Bee Gees, in like 60, 66 maybe, 65. And
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: they're Australian. And so I think it was on an
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: Australian TV show. I never heard of it. And Barry's
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: a good, like eight, 10, almost a foot taller, eight,
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: 10 inches taller than the other than the twins. And
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: I didn't realize that, that they had been doing this
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: for so long that these, uh, Robin and Maurice were like,
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: I bet they were 12 or 13 in this video
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: and they're already on TV and they're like a huge audience.
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: You know, they were already singing some hit songs that
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: they had. It's like, man, I had no idea that
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: they were that young when they put it together. And
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: to see that they conquered almost like folk and 60s.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I kind of associate them with the
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: birds and that kind of sound, that folky, jangly, 60s sound.
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: But then to move into the 70s and a time
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: when rock was getting grittier and nastier, they became the
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: face of an entire genre of music.
• 40:15
  Speaker 10: Whether they wanted to or not.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: Because I think they had no idea what they were
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: getting themselves into and probably would have avoided it had
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: they seen what happened.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: There's a chance. They definitely probably saw their creativity be stifled.
• 40:29
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: And make, make things a little harder.
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: It's that same thing.
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: It's like, here's the biggest hit of your career and
• 40:36
  Speaker 10: it's going to define you whether you want it to
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: or not. So it's, it's, it's always the.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: Double edged sword with things, but you know, whether, whether
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: they like it or not, you should be dancing and
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: jive talking are two incredible tunes that I remember from
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: my childhood that made me dancing. So I've always appreciated those.
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: They're really good, really good tunes. Which of the two, uh,
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: You should be dancing. Yeah.
• 41:02
  Speaker 10: Everybody's probably heard the other one more. So, yeah, let's
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: go with that one.
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah. You should be dancing.
• 41:08

• 46:37
  Speaker 6: Alright, so... We're kind of, I guess, going through chronologically here.
• 46:43
  Speaker 10: I instinctively kind of do that with stuff, but I
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: don't enforce it upon everyone else. That's the best way.
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: I kind of do that when I get these things going, yeah.
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: Let's keep it organized.
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: OCD.
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: Well, another, this one was actually a movie that I
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: loved and an artist that I loved. It was UHF.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: I'm a huge Weird Al fan.
• 47:07
  Speaker 10: That opened him up to a lot of people. Again,
• 47:11
  Speaker 10: he was pretty far into his career, really, but it
• 47:14
  Speaker 10: was just the weird Dr. Demento kids that knew who
• 47:17
  Speaker 10: he was before that, because I remember hearing all of
• 47:21
  Speaker 10: those early songs on there. But yeah, when he hit
• 47:25
  Speaker 10: the movie world, which is what usually happens to most artists,
• 47:27
  Speaker 10: once you get big enough that they, oh, we want
• 47:29
  Speaker 10: to sign you to a movie, suddenly everybody in the
• 47:32
  Speaker 10: world knows.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: Who you are. Yeah.
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: I actually got into Weird Al with his album Weird
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: Al in 3D, which came out before I was born,
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: I think. I was born in 1986.
• 47:44
  Speaker 10: It was probably the closest thing to mainstream before he
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: hit the UHF level. I mean, once you're doing Eat It, it.
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: Became almost as big a hit as Beat It.
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: It's like it is.
• 47:55
  Speaker 10: Interesting how close they were to each other and how
• 47:58
  Speaker 10: both of them still became a huge hit.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: That album came with 3D glasses, too, which was awesome.
• 48:05
  Speaker 9: As all things should.
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: I remember as a kid when I found that, I
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: think my aunt owned it, and I found it in
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: their house, and my grandma was like, what is this guy?
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: I've been a fan ever since. I got really into it.
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: He came out with Bad Hair Day in, like, 96,
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: I think, which I would have been in fifth grade.
• 48:26
  Speaker 9: Got hardcore.
• 48:27
  Speaker 10: Streets.
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: I bought that. brand new at the Walmart in my
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: hometown when it came out and just memorized every single
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: word on it. And so I didn't see UHF when
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: it came out. I'm sure I was too young for that.
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: My parents were ultra conservative. My parents didn't want me
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: to listen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers Californication album
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: simply because of the title. It says fornication. So they
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: probably weren't going to let me go to see the
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: Weird Al movie. um but i uh i caught it
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: uhf the song the the theme song is on his
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: greatest one of his greatest hits that i had and
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: i love the song and you know like eventually is
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: 12 or 13 or into the movie and so i
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: watched the movie and it's completely appropriate for a 13
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: year old it's possibly.
• 49:17
  Speaker 10: The most appropriate. If you're 13, like it's made for
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: the 13 year old brain is, I mean, even now,
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: like if you like it as an adult, you're probably
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: just reverting back to your 13 year old self going,
• 49:29
  Speaker 10: this is the best movie ever.
• 49:30
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking of Twinkie Wiener sandwiches right now.
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: I constantly go, Spatula City, Spatula City. And a handful
• 49:37
  Speaker 10: of people get what I'm doing, but most of the
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: time it's just me talking about spatulas like a weirdo
• 49:42
  Speaker 10: that I am.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: Man, I love that movie. I was just talking to
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: my girlfriend on the way over here about it. She'd
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: never seen it, and she didn't know Michael Richards was
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: in that movie.
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: What is wrong with you?
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: Just kills that role. That was pre-Kramer.
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: That was.
• 49:59
  Speaker 10: I mean, he... He came off Fridays, which was the
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: knockoff other network's version of Saturday Night Live.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: And I think that's the first time he really had
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: any national recognition. And then UHF, I think, came right
• 50:15
  Speaker 10: after that.
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 50:16
  Speaker 10: And then it was pretty quick before, by the time
• 50:19
  Speaker 10: another year or two, I think he ended up- When
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: did Seinfeld start?
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: 89?
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: 89?
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: It's maybe right at 90s. I mean, it's such a
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: 90s thing. But, yeah, I can't remember if it kicked
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: in right at the end of the 80s, but it's
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: right there. So it's like it's coming off of UHF.
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: Like that's his career meteoric rise and then fall.
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: Early Kramer is very, very reminiscent. Yeah, very, very much. Yeah,
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: that's a great, great film, and I remember watching that.
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: I remember who was the guy that co-starred with– uh
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: with weird alan that i can't i can't remember his
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: name and i can see his face and i was
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: trying to uh i was trying to trying to pin
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: that down when i was coming in anyway um great
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: radio uh to the googles i was explaining to to
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: claire about how it's the classic uh classic 80s movie
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: you know they see the old tv shown or tv
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: station want to fix it up but then the corporate
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: man tries to get them down and they have to
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: raise $ 20, 000 in 24 hours or something.
• 51:25
  Speaker 10: It's the save the rec center, you know, everything becomes,
• 51:28
  Speaker 10: come on, we got to get together and save this.
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: Empire records.
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: Isn't that what they break into?
• 51:36
  Speaker 10: Electric boogaloo.
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: Classic. Great cinema at its finest.
• 51:42
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: But I just, I don't know. It's always weird. I
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: really made me want to be a songwriter and, my
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: earliest interesting my earliest songs were were parodies i listened
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: to him and was just like man this is so
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: freaking hilarious and i felt like i could do it
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: and so some of my first songs i just rewrote
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: lyrics to songs that i that i liked and then
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: once i started playing guitar a lot of my first
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: songs were probably the first year that i wrote songs
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: they were all funny and they were all silly i
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: was the class clown and i like to make people
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: laugh and and uh then i found this like Like, wow,
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: I can actually really write songs, though, too. And I
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: can write stuff that's, like, a little, has a deeper
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: meaning than talking about, you know, Kentucky's blue people and
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: incest and silly things like that. Like, I can write
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: songs that mean something to people and that they can
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: connect with on a different level. And it was hard
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: to make a transition in my hometown. playing for people
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: because they're like well play that that song about you
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: know like yeah whatever i can't they're all so inappropriate.
• 52:51
  Speaker 10: It is really hard to i've noticed this in general
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: it's hard to be able to do funny and then
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: change gears and do straight like you can be one
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: or the other and people will take either of those
• 53:02
  Speaker 10: kind of seriously and funny in its own right but
• 53:06
  Speaker 10: it's really hard for a serious band to do something
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: even a little jokey where people are just like, what
• 53:11
  Speaker 10: the hell is that? They totally can't handle going back
• 53:14
  Speaker 10: and forth between those.
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: Tenacious D tried to come out with a serious album
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: and be like, no, I'm sorry.
• 53:20
  Speaker 9: Nobody wants that.
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: They get so set in their ways of what they
• 53:23
  Speaker 10: expect from a band.
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: I've been writing some parodies and coming up with some
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: ideas recently, and I've been thinking about putting out an
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: album called billy blunt's weird album and uh the first
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: the first one i have is is piss on my
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: list and it's a play on hollow notes and it's
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: about uh it's about uh somebody whose employment would be
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: going around to offices and taking urine samples to drug
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: test them and So we might see that happen. But
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: Nelly Pearl can never get away with that, you know?
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: That would be a hard sell for the rest of
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: the band. A magician isn't going to be on the
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: next Nelly Pearl record.
• 54:04
  Speaker 10: Well, it's funny. I mean, hearing you say that, it's like, okay, sound-wise,
• 54:09
  Speaker 10: I wouldn't have expected that. But the more I think
• 54:11
  Speaker 10: about it, I'm like, that's the thing I've always given
• 54:14
  Speaker 10: Weird Al credit for. It's like, it's not just that
• 54:16
  Speaker 10: he's funny. It's not just that he's really silly. He's, like,
• 54:20
  Speaker 10: really good at writing songs.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Like, and.
• 54:23
  Speaker 10: Number one, he can do those parodies perfect and find
• 54:26
  Speaker 10: just the right way to parody it. But you go
• 54:29
  Speaker 10: with his originals, they're also really well written. A lot
• 54:32
  Speaker 10: of people don't know he even has original songs. Yeah,
• 54:34
  Speaker 10: he's not just skilled at parodying other people's stuff. He
• 54:37
  Speaker 10: also writes really smart lyrics to his own songs. So
• 54:41
  Speaker 10: from that angle, I can see you wanting to try
• 54:43
  Speaker 10: to emulate him as a songwriter because he is a
• 54:46
  Speaker 10: really good songwriter.
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: He's also an extremely impressive musician and band leader.
• 54:53
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 54:53
  Speaker 6: His band goes from playing Billy Ray Cyrus to Nirvana
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: like nothing and then Dire Straits and it's just nothing.
• 55:01
  Speaker 6: And now they're doing stuff like they do Missy Elliott
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: and Taylor Swift and stuff like that. And so it's
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: just like they have all this stuff to cover. He's
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: doing like a 75 date North American tour this year.
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: I would love to go see him live. Had his
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: first number one record last year.
• 55:15
  Speaker 10: That's funny that like after all this time and that
• 55:19
  Speaker 10: it was the one that was totally like I'm going
• 55:22
  Speaker 10: to stop doing them like this. That was his, I'm
• 55:25
  Speaker 10: done with doing regular traditional recording.
• 55:28
  Speaker 9: He's just going to do his own thing from here
• 55:30
  Speaker 9: on out.
• 55:32
  Speaker 6: I really love Weird Al. I really love UHF. Are
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: you talking.
• 55:35
  Speaker 10: About the guy who becomes the mad scientist guy? Everybody
• 55:40
  Speaker 10: else is like David Bowie.
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: That's who it is.
• 55:46
  Speaker 10: We just lost David Bowie. He was a wonderful songwriter. Oh,
• 55:50
  Speaker 10: no way.
• 55:50
  Speaker 9: That's not him at all.
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: Is that not how you pronounce that? I don't know.
• 55:53
  Speaker 10: That's the thing. I'm like, I don't know. I do
• 55:54
  Speaker 10: kind of remember it's been so.
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: Long since I watched it. I can't think of anything
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: else he's in. He kind of looks like Phil Collins. But, yeah,
• 56:03
  Speaker 6: there's no evidence of this gentleman.
• 56:06
  Speaker 10: He's been in many, according to his filmography here. Ooh,
• 56:10
  Speaker 10: he's on The Mentalist. Days of Our Lives, oh, Lord. Oh,
• 56:15
  Speaker 10: he's in Rubber. Mr. Hughes in rubber. So yeah, he's,
• 56:19
  Speaker 10: I may have to investigate more and figure out. Yeah,
• 56:22
  Speaker 10: it's a lot of TV work now. And drill bit Taylor.
• 56:26
  Speaker 10: So yeah.
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, huge star now.
• 56:28
  Speaker 10: Top quality films. But yeah, just to finish your question there.
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: Yes, David Bowie.
• 56:38
  Speaker 10: So what track? Are we talking theme song?
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely. The theme song from UHF was significant.
• 56:46
  Speaker 17: ¶ Put down your remote control, go out your TV.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: And die ¶ ¶ Put away the jacket, there's no
• 57:06

  Speaker 11: So deadly.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: He's Conan the Librarian.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: Can you tell me where I can find a book
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: on astronomy?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: Conan the Librarian.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 16: These books are a little overdue.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 6: Conan the Librarian.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 9: Tonight, only on U62.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 6: I also really like Spam. It's R.E.M. Stan, because I
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 6: don't like R.E.M. very much.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 10: They were hit and miss. It's like they were kind of...
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 10: It was one of those, like, I go through, because
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 10: wherever I end up, I swear they always end up
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 10: putting it on some sort of, because everything's a streaming
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 10: channel now. But they're, like, more restrictive than traditional radio. Like,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 10: when you pick a band, it then picks, like, five bands,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 10: and you get those all day long, which is kind
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 10: of why I'm not thrilled with streaming radio. You should
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 10: just listen to awesome podcasts like this one. But seriously, though, like,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 10: wherever I end up, whatever band somebody else will pick,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 10: somehow R.E.M. gets attached to it. And I'm listening, and
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 10: I'm like, the really old stuff? Like, I'm not one
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 10: of those, like, they were good when they started. They
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 10: were pretty, like, those early, early records.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: It was much better.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 10: Like, the one I love I still think is an
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 10: amazing song. And then they get to that sound. They
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 10: get super polished and super, like, everything in that middle area.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 10: And then I'm just like, I don't really care. I
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 10: tune out for all of that. But then Monster comes back,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 10: and I'm like, they threw the rules out and became
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 10: an entirely different band for one album.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 9: And I'm like, I can listen to anything off of Monster,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 9: and then everything.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 10: After that is useless. So it's like they're such a
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 10: peaks and valleys band for me.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: Well, their first album came out in 79, right?
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: I think so.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 6: They started in 79. It's incredible.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 10: They damn near invented that college rock thing where it's like, hey,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 10: you guys have a station? Play this stuff. So all
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 10: those early albums were just like, that's the only way
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 10: anybody ever heard of them.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 10: And I remember knowing somebody that was just like, yeah,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 10: I remember listening to them when that first thing hit
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 10: and everybody wants to claim, I was listening to them early.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 10: So I remember hearing even when that first hit they
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 10: had came out, I had somebody pulling that of like, well,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 10: they were better when they first started. So I'm like, Jesus,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 10: this weird little game we have of claiming our bands
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 10: before they got famous and sold out. I mean, they
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 10: are one that I think that kind of was the
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 10: worst thing for them because they got so polished. It's
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 10: so generic sounding in those middle albums.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: By the time I came to, R.E.M. was making music
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 6: that was not interesting. Yeah, it was not interesting. Yeah,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 6: I was not into it. But yeah, so UHF and Spam,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 6: I thought those were both cool songs. Weird Al nails the.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: R.E.M., Think about nutrition.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 15: The tab is there to open the can. The can
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 15: is there.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, Spam on the table at home. Spam in four.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 10: Think about selection.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: Are there different flavors? Spam in my.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 6: Office at work.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: It's the best. Think about the stuff it's made from.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: Wonder if it's mystery meat. If you need a spoon.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 15: Now use it for spackle Think of expiration Better read
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 15: the label.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: Now Spend breakfast, dinner, or lunch It's the best Think
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: about how.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 18: It's been Pre-cooked wonder If I just eat it cold
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 18: now once you.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: Start in you can't put it.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 15: Down don't leave it sitting or it'll turn.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: Brown the key is.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 15: Going to open the pin the pin is there to
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 15: keep the spam in oh.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: Spam spam Spam in the place where I live. Have
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: some more. Think about addiction. Wonder if I'm a junkie now.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 15: Spam in the place where I work.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: You're all set.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Spam.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 6: Maybe they should take a couple pointers.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 9: I think they're done now.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 10: Michael doesn't want to do it anymore.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's right. Please, no, Michael. Please get R.E.M. back together.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 10: I would almost be more impressed if they didn't do that.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 10: Because every band's like, that's it, we're done. And then
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 10: two years later they have a reunion tour. So I'm like,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 10: he seems pretty set and like, yeah, I don't want
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 10: to play that anymore. I might play something by myself,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 10: but I don't plan on ever doing that again. I'm like,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 10: that's pretty cool if you're that bold about it. Be like, nope,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 10: I don't care if I have a lot of fans.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 10: I don't want to do that anymore.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 10: He's such a weird guy anyway. I don't know what
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 10: to think of him, but if that Ends up being true.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 10: That's kind of cool that he's just like, nope, done.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: I don't think anybody ever expects a band to not
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 6: play again when they say they're not going to play again.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 10: Especially now. Like, I guess the first Rolling Stones farewell tour,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 10: maybe they were just like, oh, we have to go
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 10: see them.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 11: This is it.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 10: But like since then, when it became the joke of the,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 10: it's our quote, farewell tour. Like, yeah, we'll see you
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 10: two years from now later.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I went and saw Fish on their last tour.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 6: They did a hiatus and then got back together two
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 6: years later.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 6: And then two years into that, they said this was
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 6: going to be their last tour. They're going to play
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: the last shows up in Maine. And I was like 17,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 6: and they were my favorite band. And my parents were
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 6: still ultra-conservatives. I don't think that's changed.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 10: And they let you listen to Phish.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 6: Well, they didn't really let me listen to Phish, but...
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 6: They probably would have stopped me, I guess, if they
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 6: could have. But they stopped me from going to Seafish
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 6: in Maine. That was something that I wanted to do.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 6: But they were like, you're 17. You can't drive to
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 6: Maine by yourself. Damn. I did get out to go
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 6: see them twice in Indianapolis at the Deer Creek. Which
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: was great. And they crushed it. And I was so
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 6: happy and sad at the same time. And then I
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 6: watched their last concert. They had it broadcast to theaters
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 6: all across the country. And I was a senior in
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 6: high school. And I went with some friends and we
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 6: watched it in the theaters. And it was so sad.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 6: And then they got back together like.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 10: Two years later. I was like, what the hell, man?
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 6: I've seen them once since then. I didn't for several years.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 6: I was like, screw those guys. Because that was, let's see,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 6: it was 2005 or 2004. 2004 that they played their
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 6: last show. It was like August, September of 2004. They
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 6: played their last show ever. And then it was 2000, 2006, 2007.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 6: They got back together. I saw them in 2000. in
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: 2013 and they were awesome. It's really good, but I
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 6: was still mad at them. Grudges. I like grudges.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 10: I hold them a long time.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 6: Trey got clean and then, you know, or Trey needed
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 6: money and then got clean or something.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 10: I don't know what happened, but it's usually how these
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 10: reunion tours come together.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Shit, I have a mortgage. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 10: On this giant house I bought when I had lots
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 10: of money.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this Land Rover is expensive.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 10: I have three kids, and they all want to go
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 10: to private school.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, fish.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 10: All right, so what is next on the list?
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 6: Let's see. Next on the list, I think I have
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 6: two more soundtracks that I'd like to cover. that were
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 6: pretty significant. The first of which was Running With Scissors,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 6: which was a memoir written by a gentleman named Augustine Burroughs,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 6: I believe.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 10: I remember the title. I don't remember if I've seen it,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 10: but it is one of those video shelf ones. I
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 10: remember seeing it on the shelf, and now I'm like,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 10: did I ever actually end up watching it? I don't know.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: It's an incredible movie. It was one of my favorites.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 6: I think I got into that when I was like, 1920.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 6: I was doing some traveling for the first time, and
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 6: I got a hold of the book, and the book
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 6: blew my mind. I watched the movie. The film stars
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 6: Annette Bening as the mother of the gentleman. She's honestly
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 6: probably the crux of the movie. She's the nutty one.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 6: For those of you who aren't familiar with the film,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 6: it's the.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 6: Basically the diaries of a kid who grew up with
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: kind of an absent father who's a professor and a
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 6: schizophrenic mother who was a poet and a writer and
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: they divorce and the boy learns from a young age,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 6: he's homosexual and eventually his mother gives him, signs her
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 6: guardianship over to her therapist and he moves in with
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 6: the therapist and his family and he's a nut job
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 6: and I mean it's all a true story is what
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 6: the gentleman claims he was about 13 or 14 I
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 6: think when his mother signed over guardianship at which point
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 6: he started a relationship a gay relationship with like a
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 6: 35 year old patient of the doctors and there was
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 6: a very significant relationship in his life and The daughter
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: of the doctor was also his best friend. The daughter
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: was played by Evan Rachel Wood in the film. I'm
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 6: a huge fan of Evan Rachel Wood.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 10: Does it do as much now?
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: I have not seen her. I think she had a baby.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 6: I think she got married.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 10: I've heard her on a show recently. I think she's
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 10: getting back into it.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 9: But yeah, it kind of.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 10: Dropped off for a while.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 6: I've always appreciated her in the sense that kind of
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: like edward norton and a few actors where they chose
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 6: their films yeah very strategically or just so you know
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 6: we're very thoughtful about what they what they got involved
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 6: in didn't just adam sandler the situation and.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 10: Or sometimes it becomes the strategy like the will smith
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 10: strategy of like i need a science fiction movie i
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 10: need an action movie like yeah that becomes a very
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 10: specific move but then there are ones that are just
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 10: like super artistic about it and they're just like I
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 10: want to do what I'm interested in, whether I'm successful,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 10: whether it makes me any money. It's like they don't care.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 10: They just pick what they want to do.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: I felt that from her. Well, she starred in Across
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 6: the Universe, which was a really interesting take on not
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: just the Beatles, but culture in the 60s and some
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: really high friction areas like Vietnam and protest. And I
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 6: thought she was great in that. She was also in
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 6: a movie with Dustin Hoffman, King of California. Yeah. I
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: don't know if you've seen that.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 10: Again, I know the title.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 6: Kind of an adventure film. He plays a nut job.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 6: He's been searching for this treasure all her life, and
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 6: she's the daughter that keeps him in line.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 10: Is it Michael Douglas?
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: No, it's Hoffman. Is it Hoffman?
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 10: It's Rain Man.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah. I think I'm thinking of another one because there's
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 10: another one Michael Douglas just did where he's that same thing.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 12: Really?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 10: Like it's him older and he's starting to lose it,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 10: but he thinks there's some sort of treasure.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: Maybe it's just the thing old guys do. They start
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 10: looking for treasure. I'm going to start digging out my backyard.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 6: So anyway, she stars in Running With Scissors. And I
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: just remember after reading the book, you know, a lot
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 6: of times the movie can let you down. And I
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 6: watched this movie and was just thrilled with the film
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 6: as well. I thought, I don't remember the young man
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 6: that played, that starred as Augustine Burroughs. I don't know
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 6: if I've seen him in much since then. Alec Baldwin
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 6: is the father, plays the father. And there's a few.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 6: I'm sure if you watch the film, there's several faces
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 6: that'll pop up. But it's just an interesting take on on, uh,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 6: on life. Uh, Brian Cox plays the therapist and I, I,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 6: you know, I knew him from super troopers. I thought
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: he was great in that. And he, um, like the
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 6: doctor does some crazy things. Uh, like one day has
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 6: a bowel movement and, uh, his, his poop is coiled
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 6: and it's sticking up out of the water in the
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 6: toilet bowl. And he thinks that this is how God
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: is speaking to him now. So he has his daughter
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: take a spatula and take his poop out and set
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: it on a picnic table in the backyard. And he
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 6: has her do this every day for a month or
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 6: two because that way he can read how God's speaking
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 6: to him and see the progression. And eventually he becomes constipated,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: which is a sign that God is not going to
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 6: be speaking to him in that way anymore. Just crazy
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 6: stuff like this. Insanity. Christmas tree up year-round.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 10: There's a lot of people that do that.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 6: Just nutty, nutty stuff. So the soundtrack was also extremely
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 6: something that I got into. It was like, man, I
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 6: never experienced that where I love the book, I love
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 6: the film, and I love the choice that they have
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 6: for the soundtrack.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 10: It's hard to get all those to work at the
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 10: same time.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 6: Um, the, but it was pretty diverse and they, they
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 6: had some new stuff. There was a, an artist from Portland,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 6: Oregon and Catherine Feeney that was on that soundtrack that
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 6: I discovered that way. And I don't think she ever
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 6: blew up or anything. Uh, I know that that song,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 6: I think it was Mr. Blue was, was a nice
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 6: hit for her. Um, the two songs on there that
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 6: I love the most were poetry band by Phoebe Snow,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 6: which is an old sixties folk song, very reminiscent of
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 6: Joni Mitchell, who I, Wasn't a fan of at the time,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 6: but now have grown to love quite a bit.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 8: You make me laugh. Cause your eyes, they light the night.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: They look right through me. You bashful.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 7: You're hiding something sweet.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: Please give it.

  Speaker 7: All I ask for is your smile each time I
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 7: run the land.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: When I am with you, I have a giggling teenage crush.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 7: Then I'm a sultry lamb, yeah, a sultry lamb.
• 1:18:18

  Speaker 3: Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah So once again It's time
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: to say so long And so we call.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 8: The law of life You're going home now.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 7: Home's that place somewhere you go each day to see
• 1:20:13

  Speaker 3: You're the poetry man.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 8: You make things all right.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 6: But the biggest one, the one I remember, the one
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 6: that made me want to get the soundtrack, was a
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 6: song called Year of the Cat by Al Stewart.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 5: On a morning from a Bogart movie In a country
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 5: where they turn back time You go strolling through the
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 5: crowd like Pete DeLorean contemplating a crime She comes out
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 5: of the sun in a silk dress running like a
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 5: watercolor in the rain Don't bother asking for an explanation.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 5: She'll just tell you that you came in the year
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 5: of the cow. She doesn't give you time for questions
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 5: as she locks.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: Up your arms.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 5: And you follow to your sense of which direction completely disappears.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 5: By the blue-tiled walls near the market stalls, there's a
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 5: hidden door she leads you to. These days, she says,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 5: I feel my life just like a river running.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: Through the air of the cat. Well, she looks at
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: you so coolly.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 5: And lights shine like the moon in the sea. She
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 5: comes in incense and patchouli. So you take.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: Her to find what's waiting inside. Thank you.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 5: One morning comes and you're still with her And the
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 5: bus and the tourists are gone And you've thrown away
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 5: your choice and lost your ticket So you have to
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 5: stay on But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 5: And the rhythm of the new born day.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 10: You know sometime you're.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 5: Bound to leave her But for now you're gonna stay.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: In the ear of the cat Here are the cats.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 6: It's a really strange song. I never heard anything like
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: that before.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 10: It's funny that that was a hit. It's so unconventional
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 10: for any song, really. But yeah, that's funny.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 6: I don't think he had anything else after that. I
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 6: think that was it for him.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 10: That became his song. Once again, defined by one song.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 6: Lots of one-hit wonders. Well, I really just have one
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 6: more movie that I'd love to cover some songs on.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 6: So I'd say... probably the most influential album soundtrack ever
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 6: in my life was Into the Wild soundtrack by Eddie Vedder,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 6: which is strange because I was never a Pearl Jam
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: fan until after this album. I talked a little bit
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 6: about hitchhiking on here, talked a little bit about that
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 6: with you, Brian. I've done a lot of that stuff
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 6: and did some of that stuff before I read the
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 6: book Into the Wild, which is an account of a
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 6: young man who gets his degree in psychology maybe from
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 6: Emory University in Atlanta in 92 or 93. Comes from
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 6: a fairly wealthy family in Virginia and took $ 24, 000 that
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 6: he had left over from scholarships, just money that he
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 6: could do whatever he wanted with, just left over from
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 6: school and grants, and he donated it to a non-profit.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 6: I believe it could have been like the NAACP. I
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 6: believe it was something to do with helping underprivileged or
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 6: low-income African Americans in Atlanta. donated $ 24, 000, got in his
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: little Datsun, and didn't tell anybody where he was going,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 6: and drove out to Las Vegas. Car got flooded, and
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 6: he just had this, like, you know what? I'm going
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 6: to do something different. Burned all of his money that
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: he had left, which that was kind of silly. Like $ 100, $ 200.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 6: Burned the money, made a little teepee, burned the money,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 6: and just walked away from the car with everything that
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 6: he could carry, and that was his new life. And
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: he spent, I think, four or five years hitchhiking and
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 6: traveling around the country in some of the most extraordinary ways.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 6: He canoed, uh, down the Colorado river, uh, into Mexico
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 6: and then into the Baja and then, uh, walked back
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 6: up the Pacific coast and, um, you know, worked as a, uh,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 6: a combine driver, a grain farmer in North Dakota for
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: a while and, uh, eventually traveled to Alaska and, passed
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: away in Alaska. And the story is, I don't know,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 6: really hit home to me. I'd done a lot of
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: the same things he had done. I'd been to some
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 6: of the same places he had been and, you know,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 6: been to some of the same hot springs in California
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: and heard people talked about how they knew him and
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: heard tales and stuff like that. And so the story
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: really meant a lot to me. Sean Penn directed this
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 6: film too, which I don't know how familiar you are
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 6: with it, but I thought he crushed it.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 10: Again, he's another one of those weird characters. It's like, artistically,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 10: he can do some pretty impressive things. Personally, he seems
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 10: like a crazy person.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 10: But again, those go hand in hand sometimes.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 6: I never think that Spicoli would be such an artistic director.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 10: And how weird and super serious he is most of
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 10: the time now versus the, yeah, the idiot. Hey, bud,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 10: let's party.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 10: Hey, bud, let's party. Let's party.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 6: What are you doing, Spicoli? Eating pizza, Mr.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: Hyde?
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 10: The fact that I now picture him being like really
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 10: serious and getting into that, you know, that character to
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 10: deliver that scene. And maybe he was always like that.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Maybe.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 10: What was his breakout?
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 6: I am Sam.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 10: That was, that was when it took that turn of
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 10: like super serious. Like he was already getting kind of
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 10: serious before that, but that was like, there's no turning
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 10: back after that one. Yeah.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 6: Well, I've always appreciated his acting, even as Piccoli. And
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 6: so when he directed that, I was blown away. I
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 6: was really impressed. But the soundtrack was really what did
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 6: it for me. Emile Hirsch starred in that, and he was...
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 6: I think Kristen Stewart is in that film as well.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 10: I think so.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 6: And... Yeah, the soundtrack, though, was what really knocked me
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 6: out of the park. Eddie Vedder wrote... most of the
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 6: songs on the soundtrack. He did not write all the songs,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 6: which disqualified him from Grammy nominations or Oscar nominations.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 10: We just were discussing that on the Oscar episode, how
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 10: there's all these weird stipulations, which is why when I
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 10: did our awards, I threw that out. I'm just like,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 10: was it in a movie? Good enough. So I know
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 10: they aren't going to run their operation like that, but
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 10: I like just finding really cool songs that are used
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 10: in really cool movies. So it's like that. I like
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 10: when those two just sort of come together.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 6: I get the stipulations with the Oscar. If I were
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 6: John Williams and I scored... the new Star Wars film,
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: and then I lost to, like, Zach Braff, who just, like,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 6: basically put together a cool playlist.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 10: It's okay, everybody hates Zach Braff.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: This is a little different. I don't feel like your
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 6: soundtrack is the same as my soundtrack.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 10: But I feel like that should be its own setting. Like,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 10: there needs to be a third option now. You can have, like,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 10: best song written originally for it.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 6: Best original soundtrack, yeah.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 10: Best score, and then there can be, like, best assemblage
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 10: of old stuff into something cool, and then Tarantino always
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 10: wins it.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Tarantino wins. Surprisingly, I didn't hit any Tarantino on
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 6: this episode. Tarantino's definitely been influential.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 10: It's so easy, though. We've played so much over the years.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 10: I'm always impressed with people. I always have to go
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 10: out of my way to not do another. It's always
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 10: so easy to pull off of his stuff because it's
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 10: all so good.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 6: He definitely made a point in my life with the
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 6: surfy spaghetti western guitar. I love surf music. When I
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 6: saw his films and those.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 6: Link Ray's Rumble is in a Tarantino film I think
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 6: Kill Bill and it's just freaking perfect I think he just.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 10: Brought it to that whole new generation it's like not
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 10: like surf rock wasn't around it had it's huge following
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 10: but like it would only the people that were into
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 10: it were all that knew anything about it and then
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 10: like he shoved it into the mainstream in 94 and
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 10: people were just like oh this is a thing and
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 10: then you get all these kids coming up that are
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 10: weird indie film kids that are also like look at
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 10: all these albums out there it's like so now you've
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 10: got them all finding the ventures and like and delving
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 10: into old records.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 6: Somewhere so that's that's cool when that happens too well
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: sorry eddie that you didn't get an oscar um i
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 6: think he's been all right since i think he's doing
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 6: okay he's hanging in there i've since seen pearl jam
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 6: and they blew my mind live i was man i
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 6: was so impressed ben harper opened and then came out
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 6: and played lap steel with them and like they're a
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 6: wild rock band. He came out with that lap steel
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 6: and plugged it into some distortion pedals and just killed it.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 10: It was really good.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 6: Eddie Vedder drank an entire bottle of wine on stage.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 6: Like 45 years old. He really impressed me on this
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 6: Into the Wild soundtrack. He did so much weird stuff
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 6: and it really changed the way that I viewed albums
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 6: and it changed the way that I wrote songs. and
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 6: it definitely was an influence on how I put together
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 6: Nelly Pearl's recent album, Lonesome No More, and the next one, too,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 6: with some tunes on here, like The Wolf, which is
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 6: just kind of an organ, a droning organ, a big
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: pipe organ, and he's howling like a wolf, and it's
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 6: just really it. It's very ambient and spacey, and it
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 6: comes and goes, and I really like that. I really love...
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: musical interludes and i really like you know like i
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 6: hate the idea that i have to make a record
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 6: an album that just has songs that you know like
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 6: people might have two or three of their favorites and
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 6: they skip right to that song it's like i want
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 6: a song that you like and i want something weird
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 6: in between that ties it with the previous song you
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 6: like and i know you're never going to skip to
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 6: this long instrumental organ tune but like It's there, and
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 6: it's there for a reason, and that's why I love
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 6: Into the Wild, is he'd put a bunch of weird
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 6: stuff in there and mix it up, the wolf being
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 6: one of my favorites.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: ¶ ¶.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 6: I Far Behind, also another original that he did that
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 6: I thought was incredible, but the last of which on
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 6: the that album uh was a cover called society i
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 6: think he only did two covers on this which it's
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 6: funny that only two covers disqualified him um from nominations
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 6: doesn't take much but he uh he covered the song
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 6: society it came out in the 80s i believe uh
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 6: i don't remember the original writer of it he was
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 6: a no-name artist i don't know how eddie even found
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 6: the song um but it's I just assumed that he
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 6: wrote the song. It describes the story of Chris McCandless
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 6: in Into the Wild so well. It just seemed like
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 6: Eddie wrote the song. But he found it.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: It's a mystery to me We have agreed with which
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 4: we have agreed.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 19: You think you have to want more than.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 4: You need until you have it all. You won't be free.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 20: Society you're crazy breed I hope you're not lonely without me.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: When you want more than you have You think you
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 4: need And when you think more than you want Your
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 4: thoughts begin to bleed I.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 19: Think I need to find a bigger place Cause when
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 19: you have more than you think You need more space
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 19: Society I hope you're not lonely Without me Society Crazy
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 19: and deep I hope you're not lonely Without.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: Me guitar solo I'm going to use the same method
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: as before. I'm going to use the same method as before.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: I'm going to use the same method as before.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 19: There's those thinking more or less, less is more. But
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 19: if less is more, how.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 3: You keep in score.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 19: Means for every point you make your level drops. Kind
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 19: of like you're starting from the top.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 4: And you can't do that.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 19: Society. You're a crazy breed I hope you're not lonely
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 19: Without me Society Crazy and deep I hope you're not
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 19: lonely Without me Society Have mercy on me I hope
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 19: you're not angry If I disagree, society's crazy indeed. I
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 19: hope you're not lonely without me.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 6: I've always been really jealous of that experience. Like he said,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 6: he got a call from Sean Penn and Sean Penn
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 6: approached him, you know, he, would you be interested in
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 6: writing some songs and doing this? And Eddie had never
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 6: done this. This is, uh, into the wild was essentially
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 6: his first solo record outside of Pearl jam. And it just, um,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 6: he's like, man, I guess. And he got to read
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 6: the book and then he got to read the, the
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 6: transcript of the movie. And then he got to like,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 6: take the time and go to the studio and work
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 6: on that. I was like, man, so jealous of that experience.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 6: to be able to try to get into the mind
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 6: of somebody I greatly admire is, is where that, that
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 6: comes from, but just a cool, cool experience. And I
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 6: think that, that Eddie Vedder knocked it out of the park.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 6: I would, I would say that you would be hard
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 6: pressed to find a better man for the job.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 10: I'm not even, I'm not even touching it.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 11: Don't have to hit that one.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 10: But it is, it is something that's, it's its own
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 10: special thing. Like you were talking about, especially like the
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 10: interludes and it's something that they don't always do anymore.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 10: And I think it's because those, you're never going to
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 10: have like.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 9: A single with that.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 10: Like everything is so geared towards like, what can we
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 10: do with this track? And like, you do something like that.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 10: It's 30 seconds. All you can do is lead from
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 10: one scene to another. All you can do is lead
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 10: from one song to another. So it's like nothing works
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 10: on its own when it's like that. And they always
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 10: want to be able to market them or, or so.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 10: It's rare that you see people that sort of assemble, uh,
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 10: Because that becomes almost more of a concept album. It's like, okay,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 10: we have this whole album, we have this story to tell,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 10: so I've got these things that are going to weave
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 10: in and out of stuff. The one I just ran
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 10: across when we did the vinyl episode earlier this year,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 10: I dug out a bunch of old vinyl stuff and
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 10: came across Where the Buffalo Roam. Home on the Range? Well,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 10: it's the first time they ever did a movie of
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 10: Hunter S. Thompson, played by Bill Murray.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 6: Whoa.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 10: Okay. Nobody remembers this movie. And the only way they
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 10: ever released that soundtrack was it had a bunch of
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 10: music rights issues because there's like Hendrix on there and
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 10: other stuff that I'm sure they'll never pay for again.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 10: So they put it on vinyl and that's the only
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 10: way it's come out. But the concept part of it,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 10: the score part of it was Neil Young. And he
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 10: does one or two like more traditional songs, but he
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 10: does all these other things that are just these weird,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 10: it's his usual weird electric, orally electrified stuff, but he'll
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 10: weave in and out of Home on the Range, and
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 10: he'll do, at one point, it's like he's doing the
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 10: National Anthem. It's just weird stuff, and there's four or
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 10: five different times that it just cuts to that, and
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 10: it might be a minute and a half, and one
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 10: might be two and a half. They don't follow any
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 10: set pattern. It's just stuff that they would use, I guess,
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 10: to go from one scene to the other, but on
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 10: this it just goes from one song to the next
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 10: and you've got this weird you know 90 seconds worth
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 10: of electronic noise and sometimes it's a song and sometimes
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 10: it's not so much and So that was a weird
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 10: one I just ran across doing this show this past
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 10: year that I was like, I had no idea this existed.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 10: I'm going to have to.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 6: Check that out.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 10: It's another one of those, you're never going to hear
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 10: one of those interludes on the radio unless some weirdo
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 10: is playing it. But it is interesting that they used
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 10: to do that, and every once in a while it
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 10: still comes back. But yeah, it's not a marketable thing.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 6: We have three instrumentals on our record, and we'll have
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 6: more on the next one. Maybe not more than three,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 6: but we'll have... more interludes. I love it. And I
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 6: think it's, it's such a nice way to be able
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 6: to express personally, express myself without forcing anything. And it's
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 6: just like, man, I come up with this piano bit
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 6: or a guitar bit and it's just like, huh, like
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 6: what can go next? And I can't figure it out
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 6: and I can't figure it out and I can't figure
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 6: out what goes next. And it's just like, nothing has
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 6: to go next. Maybe it's just like, that's it right there.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 6: And it's just like, like, People don't necessarily respect the
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 6: instrumentals as much as they did, but I don't know.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm into them. I'm also kind of a
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 6: jazz kid, so I appreciate it. That's cool. We'll bring
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 6: them back. Surf instrumentals. That's what's up. That's what's happening.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 10: Well, again, you referenced putting that new album together, so
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 10: I think that's how we'll go out is we'll have
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 10: you pick another one. Before that, what's the best way
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 10: for people to find this new amazing album?
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 6: Man, they can find it all over the place. We're
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 6: on Spotify. We're on iTunes. We're on SoundCloud, Google Play,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 6: any of those, Amazon, any of those major players. You

  Speaker 10: I know those guys.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 6: They're awesome. I really like what they do there. I mean,
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 6: they're almost all they do is instrumental. So that's, that's something,
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 6: something special.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 10: Well, again, having, gotten mine for for you know kicking
• 1:46:58

• 1:47:00

• 1:47:02
  Speaker 10: some really great songs and like you do have like
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 10: your interlude stuff but then you come back to like
• 1:47:08

• 1:47:12
  Speaker 10: got to see you play live last week and that's

  Speaker 6: got to play in the studio was this big, huge upright.

• 1:48:25
  Speaker 6: of microphones behind me and I just got to sit
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 6: and play. And so you can kind of hear the
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 6: piano bench move and the pedal move a few times.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 6: And as I adjust in the song, and I always
• 1:48:36
