0:42
but I do Alexis on fire and this one's been a long time.
0:48
Yeah this one's a long time in the making a show you put them
0:56
on the board. Actually before violent Soho.
1:00
Somebody who Kind of disappeared from deprogrammed lore had
1:06
signed up. And so it kind of got back
1:07
burner talk to me about Alexisonfire.
1:09
And, and why is this a band that we needed to cover?
1:14
You talk. I'll go to a bit of a story.
1:16
I hope that's cool. Absolutely.
1:19
I got given the South title is like a burnt CD so yeah that's
1:23
how long ago I got it in. The Mac is car park.
1:28
I just loved it. Like it was just so good as
1:31
hooked on that album. And luckily at the time, watch
1:34
out was also a out, which is my favorite albums.
1:36
I've got to get straight into that too.
1:39
Nah, it was all I listened to for a while.
1:42
One day was a good invited to my girlfriend's house and her
1:47
parents weren't home and I was pretty A excited.
1:49
I was like this is gonna be I don't know what's gonna happen
1:52
but I'm Keen to find out and Yeah well I was riding my
1:56
pushbike there. My BMX and I was listening to
1:59
Alexisonfire at the time and it was actually sidewalks when she
2:03
walks was playing Nana nowhere. Car run me over.
2:08
What? Yeah and I like flew through the
2:12
air as it was a pretty bad accident.
2:14
I was in the ground. There's quite a bit of blood.
2:16
My bike was destroyed. And I'm the guy who hit me.
2:22
He got out of the car is like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
2:24
I'll take you to hospital and all this.
2:25
And I was only 16 at the time. I said, don't worry about
2:28
Hospital. You got to get to Laura's.
2:30
Like, we gotta go, we gotta go there and, and I rang her, and I
2:35
was like, I don't think I can come.
2:37
I think, like, just been hit by a car and, and she's didn't
2:41
believe me. This is kind of the reason why I
2:43
wanted to get to her house to prove to her.
2:46
That I had been hit by a car, Now the house and knocked on the
2:52
door, she opened it. She saw me.
2:56
The arms of his man who hit me, because he kind of had to
2:58
support me up, and she's like, this is real as yeah.
3:02
I didn't like that hit by a car and then she broke up with me,
3:06
but he was worried. I wasn't going to come out of
3:08
the accident. Looking that good.
3:12
Wow, she closed the door on the guy who Hit me he kind of laid
3:19
like you're not like didn't just drop me but he was like oh okay,
3:23
see ya and he left and my bike wasn't my bike was destroyed.
3:28
So I had to walk. I don't even have a phone and
3:32
just because of the timeline and I had to yeah, walk home that's
3:35
getting hit by this guy. Luckily nothing was broken.
3:38
It's just kind of blood and and grazes and everything but I was
3:41
pretty sore but I lost my girlfriend bike and the guy that
3:45
hit me buy my car in the only thing I still had one.
3:48
Is that Alexisonfire CD? Hey, you did Jesus ever see also
3:53
great band but I loved it. Did she did she at least say hey
3:58
Ash, we are the end crazy dude, I did not see that story coming.
4:12
No dude. Wow.
4:16
So at At some point, Joe you just went on like a sign on, you
4:21
know, sign on spray and just signed on to a bunch of stuff
4:25
and this was one of those banned so it finally kind of made it up
4:27
to the top. What was it about Alexisonfire
4:29
that made? You want to jump on?
4:32
I don't remember if it was a, I definitely know that I went on
4:35
the signup spree, but I thought what I remembered was and again
4:39
this could be concussions here talking, but I thought there was
4:42
like a conversation of between you and Ash and you were like
4:46
Joe, this might be a band for you.
4:48
Yeah, ya think I'm I think I was like, yeah, let's do it.
4:52
I think that's how it came about if I'm not mistaken.
4:54
I think you're right. But yeah.
4:56
So I mean and I feel like at that point it was just like,
4:59
yeah, let me redo all these bands because like obviously
5:03
music is my thing. So yeah, really, and I guess we
5:08
kind of get into it like Funny story is that I knew
5:14
Alexisonfire, but it was really more of a discovery for me going
5:18
through this mmm. So I did have probably five to
5:24
seven songs that were just in my like songs from Spotify.
5:27
Just from, you know, obviously I play music all day every day at
5:31
the gym. So they've come up here and
5:33
there but during actually getting ready for the show.
5:39
I really thought that At a lot of the songs that I was
5:42
listening to from Alexisonfire thought I was listening to under
5:46
oath, oh, before, and so it was kind of a discovery like holy,
5:51
this isn't definitely is not under oath.
5:54
What was, I had no idea. So, like have known about
5:59
Alexisonfire for a long time but for whatever reason I thought
6:02
that was under oath. Wow, it was a cool Discovery to
6:07
go through this whole process and Definitely not under oath.
6:11
I mean you know kind of same time lines for both bands but
6:15
Alexisonfire is definitely not under oath.
6:18
So again it's just really cool to be like oh crap, I thought
6:22
that was under oath, and it's like some fire.
6:24
So here we are good time. So for me, this is clearly, and
6:29
at this point in the show's history, anybody who's, who's
6:32
listening to this knows that chances are.
6:35
I don't know the band going in, and this is yet another occasion
6:38
where I vaguely. vaguely knew the name like I feel like it had
6:42
popped up like a lot of my friends when I was doing YMS
6:46
like this was a band that they were into and they would use
6:50
this as a reference point for like what they were trying to
6:52
sound like and so you know, they're saying that and it's
6:56
flying over my head because I don't know it, but it's, it's
7:01
cool to finally eat some of these get put on the board and
7:04
it's like cool to finally put a sound to to the name because
7:10
it's Like I said, it's been years on the list so it's nice
7:13
to finally go through discography and go.
7:17
Okay. So this is what they sound like
7:19
but to that point, you know, we got to talk about, you know, how
7:25
was it putting your 20 together for this ash because what I
7:30
gathered is this is a really, really consistent banned from
7:36
start to finish. So how did you, how did you have
7:38
a plan or Or did you just kind of grabbed whatever whatever
7:42
your faves were? As I said earlier, as really had
7:48
to drop that last three, I got it, I just couldn't shake three
7:52
songs to get my list complete and a little while to drop
7:56
those, like, just kind of in and out, but for me, it's like,
8:00
yeah, they're like everyone says they're consistent.
8:02
There's definitely an album in there that I don't love and I
8:06
went a bit album representation and and and did take two songs
8:10
off of it, but I'm not the biggest fan of old crows, young
8:13
Cardinals. I don't love it so I don't know.
8:16
No, if I, this is that they're the most consistent.
8:19
They're definitely changed heaps.
8:21
Like we're we're talking about Soho.
8:22
Last time, it's like start to finish and just his natural
8:26
progression but Alexis is like a huge shift every album and then
8:31
yeah, I do. I reckon that shift has gone
8:33
down a little bit on one but there's a new one out now and
8:37
that's pretty good. So kind of had to jump back.
8:41
For You, Joe? What was because again, like
8:45
realizing that it was a band that you knew more about than
8:47
you thought? What was it like, what was your
8:49
process like for putting your 20 together?
8:52
Yeah, I mean, I feel like I feel like this one was actually
8:55
pretty easy for me because again I've essentially known this band
9:00
and I just thought they were another band playing so and I'll
9:05
piggyback off Ash to I feel like while they have Have been
9:10
consistent but also each album, kind of brings a little
9:13
something different. And I feel like, really, I think
9:16
that just the hardest part was kind of the same thing like
9:19
figuring out, which because I did up with in my first pass was
9:24
like, 30. And I was, because I had already
9:27
had liked songs on my, you know, like I already have like songs.
9:32
Like I said, that was already a torso.
9:35
So really finding the last chunk wasn't really that.
9:40
Hard, I guess, because I guess I kind of toned into what their
9:44
sound was and what I thought, what I felt like some fire was,
9:48
so it was it wasn't that hard. The hardest part was cutting the
9:51
last for, like, which ones do I want to cut?
9:54
And I did also kind of go with album representation because I
9:59
think it's really important for this band actually just because
10:02
of their, their sounds on each album to be represented.
10:07
I want to jump on that last point there.
10:10
Is because I did the same thing as far as album representation
10:13
which to me made it harder because then it's becomes which
10:18
songs from each album and each album is consistent in its own,
10:23
right? So they defined the sound in
10:25
like the first couple songs you know like okay that's the sound
10:29
but they've nailed that sound for that entire record and so
10:33
it's like figuring out which ones you want to grab as a
10:36
representation for that album. That was the problem I was
10:38
having. And quite sure.
10:42
Every album is pretty much start to finish Banger.
10:45
So it's like Norah Jones Greatest Hits.
10:47
There's no real low Point. Yeah.
10:49
It's, I mean, they're complete rather, that's accurate.
10:51
Yeah, they're accurate. Yeah, they're absolutely
10:53
complete records, you know, well, thought out, you know,
10:56
track orders like, these are these are their front the back
11:01
for sure. I was, yeah, I was going to say
11:03
with that before you said that Justin was like there was
11:06
definitely a couple of times where I had to check and see if
11:08
it was the Same album. Yeah, or like we're in the
11:11
album. It was like, is this a different
11:14
song? Because I feel like they do a
11:16
really good job of flowing into the next one, on their albums.
11:20
So I had to, I had to check a couple times like this song is
11:24
this. So, yeah, I really, I appreciate
11:27
that in music. Just letting it flow.
11:31
I also want to Echo ashes, ashes thought on old crows young
11:36
Cardinals, which I think is a really good record, but Were
11:40
laying them out as far as favorites.
11:43
That one was probably near the bottom for me and strangely, the
11:46
one I had the biggest problem with was there their most recent
11:52
effort, other nests was the one that that kind of found a Justin
11:56
sweet spot. And so, when you're taking into
11:59
account this band and what we're trying to do here, like I had to
12:05
I had to very much go against my own instinct which is To go with
12:10
stuff. I like I had to go cool.
12:13
Yes. But a lot of the earlier stuff
12:16
isn't this? And I don't think this getting
12:19
you take, Miss would get people into what they used to do.
12:24
So I had to fight against that a lot because like I said like I
12:28
like other nests a lot. Interesting.
12:31
I really I'm the odd man out here.
12:33
So I really liked old crows young Cardinals.
12:35
I wouldn't necessarily know that it's my favorite album of theirs
12:38
but I Lee Doug that album when that well, that came on again at
12:43
this point. Now I'm like, okay, this is
12:44
Alexisonfire not under oath, right?
12:47
So old crows young, Cardinals comes on for whatever reason.
12:51
When that came on again, I wouldn't necessarily it's my
12:53
favorite albums. I was like, okay, I I dig this
12:56
sound so I'm the odd man out here.
12:57
I really, I enjoyed that album again, not say it's my favorite,
13:01
but I really enjoyed old crows young Cardinals.
13:04
I want to take that point to the next level because I don't
13:07
think, I don't think that state, That statement for any of the
13:11
three of us is actually going to hold any weight in the
13:15
conversation because we've all kind of said that we tried to be
13:18
kind of equal but that takes us to the next level, the
13:22
conversation, Ash. And this this I feel like this
13:26
could be wild here. What do you think we're going to
13:30
get through unanimously? How many songs do you think?
13:34
Other night kiss. I was thinking a bit hot but
13:37
having are you saying that you weren't the biggest Alexis fan?
13:41
And like, you've done your homework today?
13:43
I think I'd have to drop it a little bit.
13:44
I'm gonna go five. Okay.
13:48
I hope you're right. Joe Dave, yeah, what do you
13:51
think in Joe? Yeah, I mean, I hope you're
13:54
right, man. I just feel like I felt it was
13:56
going to be a lot of two's. We're going to kind of find each
13:58
other, but I just have this feeling that we're going to be a
14:01
little bit off, it's going to be a great conversation.
14:03
Asian but I'm going to, I hope it's I hope I'm wrong.
14:07
I honestly hope I'm wrong but I'm going to I Gotta Go My
14:10
intuition saying to fuck you. I hope I'm wrong.
14:15
I really hope I'm wrong. Honestly, you took my number
14:17
though. That's the one.
14:18
I've been thinking, I just to your point like yeah.
14:25
Well the thing is like it's only said I hope we get 10.
14:27
That'd be great. Yeah, I want to be, I want you
14:31
to actually have undershot. If I'm Honest, I love being
14:35
surprised but I feel like, I feel like there's a lot of
14:40
ground to cover 75 songs, and I think, I think with the
14:45
consistency of of each record, it's easy that me and Joe could
14:52
pick songs 179 where ashes picking like two four and six or
14:57
something. And like Joe said, we end up
14:59
with a lot of twos and and the same thing like, I feel like how
15:05
do I say this? I feel like, okay, once the
15:08
discography we all heard in other shows, like it's we heard
15:12
different versions of a band, right?
15:14
In other shows, we're talking about, I feel like in this in
15:17
with Alexisonfire, I feel that we all heard the same band but
15:23
again because of our, our tastes and what we liked and we were
15:28
picking out for like, okay, this is a good, you know, the reason
15:31
the show, this is this is Alexa. Some fire for a new listener.
15:36
I feel like we heard we all heard the same band but picking
15:39
the songs for that band is where we're going to miss each other
15:43
on, you know I'm saying. Absolutely.
15:47
So I'm going to go one step more pessimistic than Ash.
15:50
I'm going to go for which as mentioned I feel like might be
15:54
high, but I'll also say this. There is no record to break as
15:59
far as lowness because last week on whilst we did zero.
16:03
So alright cool. So and kick it - yeah.
16:08
As long as we can clear that bar.
16:09
We're good. All right.
16:11
We're going to take a quick pause and when we come back,
16:13
we're going to play the game. It's the programmed.

16:58
deprogrammed. The three of us have combed
17:00
through the Alexisonfire discography and plucked out 20
17:03
songs that were now going to mash together in an attempt to
17:05
create a top 10 starter kit for you.
17:08
In case you are like me and have never given Alexisonfire the
17:11
time of day and this is one of the few songs I feel good like
17:15
absolutely good about choosing like everything else is out you
17:19
know out in the open and you No it could you know I could find
17:22
you guys like maybe not this one.
17:26
I don't care if it hits or not. I'm absolutely right because I
17:32
love and I don't care how many times I've said this on the show
17:35
I love when I can push play on the playlist in the first song
17:40
tells me what I'm in for. So I've got 44, caliber love
17:44
letter, Oh yeah, that was gonna be my pick.
17:48
All right. How I ended that was gonna be my
17:53
exact, my exact words. Justin is like, boom.
17:57
This is this is in your face. And I love all this opening.
18:04
And then, so, it tells you the story of Alexisonfire without
18:09
realizing that you're hearing the story of Alexisonfire.
18:11
Because here you have like this kind of these pretty good tar
18:17
Parts bouncing off of each other, right?
18:20
Which, you know, I come to realize later on.
18:22
There's a lot of at the drive-in in Alexisonfire and that will
18:27
come into play later in the discography for sure.
18:30
Even later on this record for sure.
18:33
But, um, this is kind of a fake out and normally that would
18:37
throw me off the scent and I would be like, nah, but Hold on.
18:44
Where are we? We're 50 seconds in and we
18:46
haven't gotten there yet, and again, it's yeah, but it's so
18:50
worth it. Just creates a signal.
18:52
I'm coming like, what's gonna happen.
18:54
And luckily what happens is amazing, right?
18:58
And so here, you have like the next layer you bringing the
19:00
drums and you're like, oh, this is what they are.
19:03
Yeah, but you got to wait another second to really hone
19:09
in. Again, we're a minute 15.
19:11
This is normally a turn-off for me.
19:16
Me two, usually got to you got to hook me right away.
19:19
But I definitely stuck around for this.
19:26
Come on, you know? Where are you saying Ash?
19:37
Like the phone is like a text message tone.
19:46
Unlike the old Nokia, 3315, if that means anything, there's a
19:50
like everyone whenever you got a text that was the end of the
19:59
message time, but yeah. Oh yeah.
20:04
Oh yeah, I did not but Joe did. There we go.
20:10
All right. Ash Second Pig, I'm gonna go,
20:17
I'll just jump down and get that out.
20:19
Maybe that I hope we come back to it.
20:22
Oh God, no trend. No, no transitory.
20:34
Yeah, I don't have that one. I don't have that one either.
20:39
Yes, I do actually start. You said?
20:40
Yes. Yes I do.
20:41
Yes. I do.
20:41
Yes, I do. So okay.
20:43
Yeah, there we go. All right.
20:46
So it's too. It's too.
20:48
All right, Joe. I'm just going to stay on the on
20:53
the self-titled there and go with Adelita.
20:59
Mehmet. Was that a?
21:01
Yes. Ash.
21:09
I think that was a, yes, My internet might be breaking up to
21:13
him saying I don't have oh you don't okay my bad.
21:17
All right in the trash into unfortunately.
21:22
We're going to get a lot of that.
21:24
All right, unfriendly. But like as you hear these, you
21:31
know, you're going to realize that none of these are wrong.
21:37
Hey, oh yeah. And you know against like
21:42
Especially with, with this. A lot of them, I couldn't even
21:45
tell you why I didn't pick it or why I did where I kept it.
21:49
It just He just it's what what hit my ears.
21:53
I was like all right. Yep this stays yep.
21:57
Well, that's why sled with 44 caliber, that's the one like
22:00
hey, I know for sure. Well, I think in self-titled for
22:03
sure, they did kind of a lot of that too big intros and then
22:08
give you a little tease and then hit you with something totally
22:11
different. It's like okay, alright.
22:12
Well melt my face that way. Alright yeah.
22:16
Okay. Mmm.
22:22
I'm gonna stay with Ash on watch, watch out.
22:27
How about accidents? Have it.
22:33
Okay, so Ash does Joe does not, I don't know, but I should have
22:40
honestly that was that was I know that was one of the first
22:43
songs that I ever heard from them but I kept it, I kept it
22:50
for something else. Well, there you go, all right.
22:54
Ash Do it with just jumping around albums.
23:01
Just for the fun of it. I'll go with rough hands.
23:08
No, I don't have that. Prof.
23:14
Hans prices. All right, I really should play
23:20
the song first before trying to find it on the other list.
23:25
So there's no signage dead air. Yep.
23:34
I really don't think anybody who listens to the show like that
23:39
listens to the show. Not the band is going to
23:43
understand how difficult the task this was I like it a lot,
23:51
too. Coheed.
24:00
That's its new locket to to Coheed, like as far as you know,
24:09
it's not story-driven like Coheed but it is It is there's
24:16
interludes and like a an outer lewd if you will.
24:21
It's just there's I think the easiest way to say is there's no
24:25
easy outs. Like not there was hardly
24:28
anything that I went no to. So all right Joe well I'll just
24:35
throw it out there. Now since we just brought it up
24:38
and Ash talked about it in the beginning, I hey I kept sidewalk
24:41
when she walks and got rid of Ants.
24:44
Oh, Did good song. It was real hard for me to not
24:52
so to get rid of that. But no, I don't have it.
25:14
I love all of this. All right, being in the are
25:42
hearing the song still play. Like I was in the air kind of
25:45
time slow down while I could see people's faces of shock.
25:49
But I remember that I still could.
25:50
It was able to hear the song while I was flying.
25:54
Does that make the stage? Like that's gotta make the stage
25:58
right right to write. And to be honest, the truth is,
26:03
that story was the goes on way more and has a lot more jokes,
26:09
real At it and a bit of an more epic ending on this day but I've
26:13
switched out just to resonate with your audience more switched
26:17
out that it was sidewalks when she walks and putting Eminem
26:21
Lose Yourself which is no English fun and I hate that that
26:26
gets a laugh more than me saying oh yeah it's Alexisonfire.
26:34
Okay. I don't know where to try to
26:42
find you guys. How about?
26:48
Hmm. This could be anywhere in the
26:52
world. I have that.
26:56
I have that too. Hey right, okay, Well I'm song
27:05
to see them do live as well like it.
27:08
Yeah I've seen him a few times since that album came in and
27:10
it's just goes off every time it sound real
27:23
mmm, lot of great guitar riffs and tones and sounds Mmm.
27:37
All right. Can we be at Joe's number Ash,
27:42
you're up? That's I'm so Go with.
27:48
My faith Alexisonfire song of all time of the Pod but my
27:55
favorite Alexisonfire song of all time, maybe one of my songs
28:00
of all time, please have it on your list.
28:03
I will go with. Hey, it's your funeral manner.
28:08
I'm sorry, buddy. I got it.
28:10
I got it. It's alive.
28:11
I got it. Justin saved.
28:13
You just insane? Yep.
28:16
It's still alive. All right, kind of start hearing
28:21
weight coming into it more. Does guys know that like paid
28:25
the other guitarist singer? He really starts singing a lot
28:29
more in crisis, but hey, it's your memory, he comes in with a,
28:34
with a line. And yeah, it's like, it's unreal
28:38
just to see he's kind of like progression through that into
28:40
the bear. You just need to see any, I
28:42
mean, using the being the whole time, but yeah.
28:44
All right, Joe, I'm going to go to other nests and we always
28:50
talk about track ones and committed to come to the con You
29:00
don't have it. Do you?
29:01
I don't I don't. Damn.
29:05
I just yeah, that that beat man, I mean, once you play the
29:10
audience will hear it. But I'm just like I couldn't, I
29:13
couldn't not get rid of it for me.
29:16
I'll tell you it fell victim to that, like like I was saying in
29:20
the open, like me trying to direct hey, is this, is this
29:26
going to direct towards? Because this was, if I had to
29:31
put a guest to it, like 23, like it was one of my last cuts for
29:34
sure. Fat Brown.
29:39
I don't know, man. It makes me horny up stuff.
29:49
Just because of the Australian hate.
29:50
But yeah, yeah, yeah, right. All right.
30:00
Where am I? Where should I go?
30:05
Something we all have yeah, really.
30:13
Actually it's your funeral. Mama was gonna be my next place.
30:16
So how about Happiness, by the kilowatt.
30:22
Got it. And it's such a good song and to
30:29
be honest, like, it should be on there.
30:31
If we come back and we just have to put something through.
30:34
That should be it because that's the song that they end on every
30:38
show. That's me.
30:41
Rough hands is Connor that similar Vibe but I just prefer
30:46
rough hands a little bit more about happiness by the Killer is
30:48
such a good song. No, I don't have it.
30:51
Okay. It's got to still alive and I
30:55
guess. Let me take a quick look for
30:57
that record. So we've got the two through
30:59
unanimous and we've got four still alive.
31:01
So we're doing all right, there's still a ton of gameplay.
31:06
All right, so Happiness by the kilowatt was me Ash.
31:08
It is your turn. Counterparts, and number them.
31:17
Apparently not, I do not have that.
31:21
I don't I again this this happens a lot where I don't have
31:31
I don't have the reason I'm just right off the bat it slaps to I
31:36
really I really should have this song like this is To me, that's
31:40
a me song and that's a MeetMe problem to.
31:42
I should have put that on there. Well, as I was listening to, you
31:53
know, leading up to us recording like a lot of these songs on the
31:58
first record, I'm like, shit, I can't believe I don't have that.
32:07
All right, Joe, I'm going to go off crisis.
32:12
I'm not going to say. It might be one of my favorite
32:14
Alexisonfire songs because then you guys definitely won't have
32:16
it. So it's of Crisis, drunks
32:19
lovers, Sinners and Saints. I'm striking out today.
32:31
Well the thing is look it seems like we're all yeah we're all in
32:36
the same ballpark. That's exactly what exactly what
32:40
I said at the top there. Yeah, we're just just some
32:43
different different parts of of this of the same band.
32:49
I wish that thing, that's pretty cool about Vanden itself is you
32:54
can you can take 10 people all who really enjoy like some fire
33:00
and those 10 people are all going to have a different
33:03
favorite songs. Potentially That's cool.
33:06
That's that's a sentiment. How great a band is?
33:10
I think yeah, I get the feeling you hit, you hit, you hit people
33:13
and all different, all different levels.
33:15
We're going to end up covering a lot of the discography today.
33:21
Okay. How about Boiled Frogs?
33:33
I think I got a bad connection. Boiled Frogs.
33:38
Yeah, Boiled Frogs. Chili between that and drunks
33:45
love. Sinners sites for me.
33:46
I went with Boiled Frogs. All right, there it is.
33:50
All right, the unanimous. All right.
33:54
Hey, we just had to boil some frogs.
33:57
That's all that no big deal. Play, there we go.
34:08
And we beat Josie like to like Crisis, they to me anyway, in my
34:13
ears when necessary say that they.
34:16
Found their sound because again, we've already talked about where
34:20
album is kind of represented with, with a whole different
34:23
sound. But crisis to I feel like there
34:26
was just Extra. I don't know bangers like it's
34:33
all I can say is just bangers man.
34:35
Like just but it was seemed like new level reached for putting
34:41
out bangers in my eyes. Here's looking at it.
34:45
There's I've got four from from that record.
34:48
So we've covered three, two of them to the ones I already had.
34:53
So, All right. Bullfrogs was me so Ash.
35:03
Haven't, we haven't touched on it yet.
35:05
So I'm just gonna jump there to old crows album and I will pop
35:09
on the Northern. Got it.
35:12
Okay, I don't but it's alive the northern.
35:21
All right, joke. I'm going to go back to other
35:25
nests and I want to play additional love.
35:32
I got it. That's a to Joe and again I
35:45
think it's just his mic. Yeah.
35:51
All right. Conditional.
35:54
Love was Joe. So it's back to me and we're in
35:59
between Jose to in my for. So ashes 5 is not looking as
36:05
crazy as I thought anymore. I didn't more know.
36:08
We're we've done. Good last couple rounds.
36:10
Hey, and actually, I hit one there.
36:12
So all right. Cool.
36:13
Yeah. Okay.
36:20
Hmm. She is.
36:24
How about we are the sound? I do not have that 100 made. now
36:42
that we bring it up there like Really kind of.
36:50
Honed in on crisis. you did I did like I feel like I don't
37:00
want to say it's their best but but there is something to it
37:03
like the way they came together as a band on that record like I
37:08
know that's yeah, I think that's I think you're devastating the
37:11
same thing that I was saying to is something about it.
37:14
Something about that record. Again, they've let me talk about
37:19
how to sound each each record. So it wasn't a sort of they were
37:22
coming into their own but they on a different level.
37:25
Mmm. This album.
37:29
All right, Isis. All right.
37:33
Ash favorite songs from them first album pulmonary artery at
37:42
it. Okay good.
37:45
I was gonna be really upset. I don't have it, but at least
37:50
it's got to so it gets to hang around for another day. 30 and
37:59
we're officially out of ntp to so worst case yet.
38:03
Worst case scenario everything that's gotten through so far,
38:06
wouldn't make it. So all right Joe well I don't
38:14
really know where to try to hit you guys honestly.
38:18
I'm just going to. Okay, I'm going to go back to
38:23
Young Cardinals even though you guys didn't really like, it run
38:28
Cardinals. I'm gonna play.
38:30
No, Rest, hmm. Nope.
38:43
I do not have it. Okay.
38:46
Oh shit. All right, I'm going to assume,
38:51
that's a no from ashes. Well unless he comes in and
38:54
says, no, you're wrong. Inside the camper.
38:58
But sorry, dude. All right.
39:02
Oh worries. No.
39:04
Rest for the wicked right. Whoo.
39:07
I wish my Spotify would start crashing.
39:09
Why is that happening so much lately?
39:13
Oh, now that I'm listening to it, it's like there are bangers
39:20
here but for some reason like it must have just hit me the wrong
39:24
way. When I was going through my
39:27
past, I mean, that'll happen. I suppose, you know again feel
39:32
like Taking into a band, like Alexisonfire again for the 12th
39:41
time while they had a different sound, each album Still hearing
39:45
kind of a lot of same in a way. So some things could get lost.
39:51
Yeah, And I'll try out one of my old crows, young Cardinals.
40:04
How about that? How about midnight regulations?
40:09
I do not. Add something to it was the last
40:15
one Ikat. But yeah, don't have it.
40:23
It's a damn good open, though. That's funny.
40:36
I'm just now realizing that Death Letter.
40:42
Is just softer versions of some of these songs.
40:49
Okay. Alright, good.
40:54
Good on you. Justin, you are smart.
40:56
All right. Ash And it could be a hit
41:06
because it's on an EP. Did you guys dance to listen to
41:11
the switcheroo series, Maybe? I don't think so.
41:19
It's just in America. Passing out America.
41:26
Yes, I got it. Glad I don't have it.
41:31
All right so it's not unanimous but it makes it makes the next
41:35
round. Pas SI I totally I totally
41:39
missed that to be honest like a split with manin the band, they
41:47
cover some songs and then there was two new Originals on there
41:51
that in another unreal song called Charlie Sheen vs.
41:54
Henry Rollins and yeah passing out in Erica.
41:58
It's a great song. It's got to still alive.
42:03
All right, Joe boil boil boy. Okay.
42:08
Um, I'm just gonna go still with old crows, young Cardinals sons
42:13
of privilege. Nope, that's it.
42:18
Sorry dude. Alright okay.
42:30
certainly has the energy that's Alright.
42:38
Um, I'll stay there with you, Joe.
42:41
I'm going to stay on that record.
42:43
How about heading for the Sun? Don't.
42:58
I think I think we're finding it out right here because these are
43:02
all songs that they jump right into which I think explains why
43:07
you like it more. Because these are all bangers
43:14
right off the bat like no waiting.
43:16
No, hesitation. All right Ash What a ways?
43:25
I do not nor do I cannot save you there.
43:31
That's the first albums, great song.
43:33
Fun video would recommend. Watch her.
43:39
Then we know Ash. All right.
43:43
Joe Joe Pye should say that until a microphone.
43:47
Yeah, maybe let's see. I'm almost Tapped Out.
43:52
Yeah, it's like you. okay, I'm gonna I don't know that it's
43:59
gonna matter. Okay, I'm just going to play off
44:02
crisis. Keep it on wax.
44:04
Nope. Oh shit.
44:17
So good, so good. I think what we'll do here is,
44:21
we'll do one last round and then just dump out because a lot of
44:26
stuff hitting the pile, anyway. Alright.
44:30
Um, so technically, I took The Death Letter version of this,
44:45
but I think that the old crows is acceptable as well.
44:49
How about burial? I do not have barium.
45:00
I wish I had paid more attention like the the fact that they did
45:06
these and they sound so different is fucking cool.
45:21
I just thought it was a nice fucking change of pace and I
45:26
guess, just for the record. This is the album version I
45:32
guess, similar ish. So yeah, similar but the Spin on
45:39
it though. Is what's it is cool.
45:41
It's pretty cool. I mean it's like on death letter
45:44
and it sounds like a death march kind of, I just thought that was
45:46
cool. All right.
45:49
Ash It Was Fear of Myself That Made Me Odd.
45:57
I I don't have. I don't have that honor.
46:00
That's not my song. That was just a confession.
46:03
I'll go get it. Nice slow starter it and it's
46:23
pretty epic. Like the building this song is
46:25
unreal. Dallas really comes through on
46:29
it. That is pretty sick.
46:43
Maddening, why do I do this show?
46:45
All right, Joe, I know right cute.
46:52
Let's see. I'm all right.
46:55
So I'm going to go. Going off self-titled.
47:01
Kennedy curse. Yes.
47:05
Don't have it now. All right, well, I got Justin
47:08
there, so All right, so I think I've got six left.
47:19
So I'll just start at the top here control.
47:25
Don't have it. Great song.
47:26
Don't have it. All right.
47:30
Mailbox arson. I have it and I have it.
47:35
All right, Gray. Damn it.
47:40
Okay. Sands Soleil I have it.
47:46
I have it. I did.
47:48
I say five blue Spade? Don't have it?
47:54
Yay. Yay.
47:55
All right. Get something in there.
48:02
Justin 11. And Ash.
48:07
All right, in my final two season of the flood.
48:13
I have it. And familiar drugs.
48:20
What have they have it? All right.
48:23
So we're able to land a couple more twos there.
48:25
That's cool. All right you want to see if you
48:28
can find Joe, Ash farted. Don't have it.
48:41
I don't have it. Wait, dreams of other than this.
48:46
I do have that. I mean, I've only got two left
48:53
to reverse the curse. And to a friend.
48:59
I don't have that either. All right, so just 45 is if I
49:04
can. Yeah, it's not like anybody but
49:06
you burn first Emerald Street. I'm Cardinals, and sharks and
49:13
danger. Yes, a lot of those were on my
49:17
Horizon. All right, then I'll say this to
49:20
my very last cut. 21 was a dagger through the heart of st.
49:23
Angel, he's dude, that one I was.
49:26
I mean, I'm glad nobody picked it because obviously, we None of
49:29
us had it, but that one was one. I was listening to right before
49:33
we went on, I was like, fuck. How do I not have this?
49:35
I need to find space and then I just, I ended up not doing it.
49:39
All right, that was literally, like I said before we before I
49:42
jumped on here, I made that last cut of, and it was just
49:45
literally any many money, you're done.
49:48
Yeah, whatever. Whatever it takes to get it off.
49:51
Okay, so we got three through unanimously, which mean, which
49:54
is just enough for none of us to be able to have the final say.
49:58
So, 3, we've got 44 caliber love letter, that could be any or
50:03
this could be anywhere in the world and Boiled Frogs.
50:06
All right, and what do we have in the conversation?
50:10
We've got 12 that we need to narrow down to seven.
50:13
So, let me go over here and we'll run through this list.
50:22
We've got. The Kennedy curse pulmonary
50:26
artery accidents. Hey, it's your funeral.
50:29
Mama, no, transitory Happiness, by the kilowatt passing out in
50:34
America. The northern sweet dreams of
50:36
other nests conditional, love blue, split the blue Spade.
50:40
I can talk and familiar drugs. Ash is there anything there?
50:45
That's kind of jumping out at you as hey, that really should
50:48
have been unanimous accidents and yeah.
50:54
Kilowatt both. I think I mean it doesn't show
50:58
this on Spotify but I think they're the two biggest songs
51:02
you go to any Alexis show, never heard them before.
51:05
It would probably be pretty good to know those two.
51:08
They're definitely going to play think that the end every show on
51:13
happiness. Why the kilowatt definitely
51:16
every time I've seen him that's the closing song.
51:20
I definitely back on accidents, should be unanimous like I
51:25
that's a me problem, I jacked that one up.
51:28
All right, and a she's putting up happiness.
51:32
So let's put that one through that one gets us to five.
51:38
Same question to you, Jose. There's something that you're
51:40
looking at. You're like, man, I can't
51:41
believe that that didn't get in. Um, can you get?
51:48
I mean, I feel like the northern should be in, for sure, but I
51:52
already had that so I'm not remember who is the odd man out
51:54
on that looks like it was me and I mean again we talked about how
51:58
important album representation was and we don't have anything
52:03
like that is the only thing that got more than one from old
52:06
crows. So I think using our own
52:11
conversation that probably should get in based on that.
52:14
Alone based on our own criteria. Definitely have something from
52:19
old crows. Even if you know, even if I was
52:22
the odd man out there, but I feel like it's an important
52:26
sound to hear of them. All right, so now we got to
52:32
start thinking about because we're at six and there's two
52:37
through from watch out. There's two still alive.
52:42
There's okay so it doesn't matter with crisis, there's two
52:46
through crisis but none of them. None others got more than one,
52:52
so we probably need to tackle other nests first.
52:57
We've got sweet dreams of other nests conditional, love blue
53:00
Spade. Is that going to be like a, we
53:03
just take one. Do you think?
53:10
I think we should definitely. Yeah, I was going to say like I
53:14
feel like we should at the very least like one of those now and
53:18
if we have to come back then we can okay back to it.
53:21
So which one jumps out at you the most Ash Say of the two that
53:29
I picked, I'd that didn't get through.
53:31
I'd say other nests over blue spag, but that might just be
53:36
because it's the big single and came out.
53:38
It's near the album's named after it.
53:43
Yeah, but I also think it's an unreal song.
53:44
Really cool Vibe build up my favorite song on an album with
53:50
it. Let's do that one that takes us
53:52
up to 7. All right and now let's tackle
53:56
the idea of. So we've got the let's put that
54:00
through. There we go.
54:02
Now do that. What the hell?
54:07
Do? What I tell you to do, please.
54:13
And there. Did they actually do it this
54:16
time? Yes.
54:18
Okay let's talk about. So we've got passing out America
54:25
from the switcheroo and we've got familiar drugs, those aren't
54:31
on any of the records but they did find two of our lists.
54:36
Is that enough to get them in or are they odd man?
54:40
Out at this point I mean, I feel like there's definitely I feel
54:47
like we definitely make a case for them both to be on the on
54:51
the master list honestly. Amelia drugs?
54:56
Yeah I don't know if like passing out in America needs to
55:01
be as much but familiar drugs was it was huge when it He came
55:06
out looking at the Spotify just admit maybe like two or three
55:10
years ago. Okay.
55:12
And it was real bag, real big and there's like a lot of hope
55:15
that that meant they were going to come back together and they
55:18
did this big show like a big concert live concerts on
55:20
YouTube. Now, I'm going to huge and it's
55:24
in line with new album, Maybe if the time worked out that it
55:29
probably would have been on there.
55:31
Hmm. Maybe familiar drugs passing
55:33
out, America. Just so fun though.
55:35
Guess I guess that brings up the.
55:40
So, maybe we take familiar drugs and just leave We leave passing
55:47
out America alive and come back to it because that takes us up
55:53
to 8 so we only have two spots left.
55:55
Anyway. All right, so now we've got the
56:00
Kennedy curse pulmonary artery. Hey it's your funeral mama no
56:03
transitory passing out, America conditional, love blue Spade,
56:07
all fighting for the last two spots.
56:11
So now again that the album representation come conversation
56:15
comes back into play because we've got two from watch out.
56:18
There's two still alive. Do those Hit the Floor now, do
56:21
you think or are they still very much in the running?
56:27
It's me. Hey it's your funeral.
56:28
Mom is my favorite song. So yeah, on this one Joe.
56:33
Yeah. I mean I'm fine with that.
56:35
Okay. So look, grab the funeral and
56:39
drop transitory. Out.
56:45
And then now we're we're at the official nitty gritty.
56:52
One last song If you had, if you could only pick one of these Joe
56:56
that Kennedy curse pulmonary artery now transitory passing on
56:59
America conditional, love blue Spade, which one would it be?
57:03
Well, I had three out of four of those.
57:05
So, you know, you know what, I'm going with my my gut intuition
57:13
tells me pulmonary artery. Hmm.
57:18
I think I should He's with you. Am I getting that correct?
57:23
And it's not about that. Such a good song.
57:26
Yeah on a lock, probably means nothing but Karen Hewitt.
57:31
If she's listening to the pod in Yunnan she didn't like any of
57:35
this music and then one day pulmonary artery was playing and
57:38
she said, I love this. This song's called like, cool.
57:41
Here's another Alexisonfire songs.
57:42
Like, I hate this. What is this trash I've always
57:50
remembered that Karen knew it locks Alexisonfire pulmonary a
57:54
tree and that's it. She doesn't like any of the
57:57
music from this genre except for that one song.
58:00
So maybe we do it for her. Yeah there we go.
58:02
I'm gonna do it for her do for can for sure.
58:05
I had that for a long time so maybe she's her own hardcore
58:14
bands. Yeah, maybe.
58:17
Yeah. But also I like, Like that cause
58:21
pulmonary artery ends that album to.
58:23
So if it ends the top, 10 would be kind of prolific, I think.
58:26
Yeah, alright. So now let's crank up the heat a
58:29
little bit. So we got our 10.
58:31
So 44 caliber, love letter, this could be anywhere in the world,
58:33
bullfrogs accidents Happiness, by the kilowatt.
58:36
The northern sweet dreams of other nests, familiar drugs.
58:39
Hey, it's your funeral mama and pulmonary artery Ash of those
58:42

58:45
one? we got you guys gotta stay awake

59:01
tonight and I'm probably going to regret this decision, the
59:04
whole like our trip but Egg. Hey, it's your funeral Mama.
59:10
It should be accidents penis because I think those two and
59:15
the big, the two biggest Alexisonfire songs, one of them.
59:19
I can't decide. But I think it, yeah, somewhere
59:23
in there. What do you think Joe?
59:26
I mean, yeah. I think you have to go with
59:29

1:00:36
the song. I mean, this one.

1:00:41
because it's not like they were just snoozing and, you know,
1:00:45
bouncing some guitars around like they they get to it.
