Odds do program the podcast where we try to get you into a
0:37
band and sometimes the guy who speaks first trips over his own
0:41
words. What happens?
0:42
What are you going to do? My name is Justin and I'm band
0:46
curious. We've done all the work for you
0:48
here. And really it's it's a chance
0:51
for me to talk to my friends about bands that they love and a
0:54
chance for me to learn why they love them and try to love them
0:57
myself. As I said, my name is Justin and
1:01
I believe we're so we're talking about Mets today and I believe
1:05
John, this is on. This was on one of those massive
1:08
lists you gave me, I think. Yeah.
1:11
Yeah. So, you know, we're slowly but
1:14
surely getting to to some of those early lists.
1:18
Talk to me about Mets and and why you wanted to talk about
1:20
them on the show. Yeah, I think when I first put
1:23
them up, they only had three albums out and now they've but
1:27
that's what is it 6 or something?
1:29
And they've broken up. So we've where we've kind of
1:32
like followed their career and now we've we're we're getting to
1:34
do this at the at the right time now that everything's done.
1:37
But yeah, Mets is one of the great bands of the 20 tens.
1:45
They were one of the first ones I think to go back to that 90s
1:49
kind of nostalgia sound. They really like talk.
1:56
You talk about Nirvana as an influence helmet, a lot of
2:00
things like that. They when I first when I first
2:04
heard their their first date, the debut record, I was like
2:07
this. This band is going to save
2:08
rock'n'roll like the the late 2000's, the late odds, the early
2:12
20 tens. Not a great time for for rock
2:15
music. But when I heard Mets, I was
2:18
like this. These are the saviors, like the
2:20
they're going to save heavy music and bring it back.
2:24
That exactly didn't happen. But I did get to see them on
2:29
that first album tour at a very small club in Atlanta.
2:32
And it was, it's an interesting story because like I was working
2:36
and I, I had to be up at like 4:00 in the morning to be work
2:39
at 5:00. So I go to the show, I'm like,
2:42
I'm not going to miss this. But they didn't go on.
2:44
And like opening band goes on at like 11:00, you know, like then
2:47
the next opening band goes on at midnight.
2:50
I'm like, oh, like, I can't leave.
2:52
I have to see them. But I'm going to, I'm going to
2:53
pay for it tomorrow. But I stayed and they went on
2:58
about, you know, 1:00 in the morning and just the energy in
3:03
the room, like, I'll never forget, like, you know, when you
3:05
see a band sometimes and you're like, there's like an
3:08
electricity in the room. And like, did this club probably
3:12
help 75 people, 100 people? People are literally bouncing
3:16
off the walls. Like it was one of the most
3:19
insane experiences that I've had at a concert in a in a very long
3:24
time. And like, Mets has that energy
3:27
where I was like, yeah, this, this is what it must have been
3:29
like to see Nirvana in like, 1989 or like 1988 when they were
3:33
first starting. Like, they have that element
3:37
that those great bands had where they can mix the abrasiveness
3:42
and the chaos and like, the with the beauty and the melody.
3:48
Like that's very difficult to do, but Mets as songwriters were
3:53
able to do that. And like you mix in some of the
3:56
like the like the militant like rhythms of like a helmet or
4:03
something like that. And like even like, you know,
4:05
you kind of put these threads together like we did Killing
4:07
Joke a while back. Like you can tie even Mets some
4:12
of their stuff back to Killing Joke.
4:13
Like it's, it's part of that lineage that goes through
4:17
Nirvana and Helmet in those 90s bands into the the 21st century.
4:22
And like, they're, they're just incredible.
4:24
And I've, yeah, I've been waiting to talk about them for a
4:25
long time. So in my light research that I
4:31
did right before the show, found out that Mets are a Canadian
4:35
band and our, our recent resident Canadian Andrew, I, I
4:42
don't know if that plays into how you come across Mets, but
4:46
you, you talked about some of these same themes that that John
4:48
was talking about before we came on Mets.
4:52
Why? What is it about them that that
4:54
brings you to the table today? At first I didn't get into them
5:03
with the first album originally, like when it came out.
5:09
It's just something that I missed.
5:14
I was just in a different, different kind of place, I
5:19
guess, with the kind of music I was listening to at the time.
5:24
I didn't end up discovering them until I think around the time
5:30
the third album came out. But I was just immediately like,
5:38
I just loved them as soon as I heard them at the first album I
5:41
heard was the first album I just I was kind of in starting to get
5:47
into. As you mentioned, that was
5:51
around the time I was really getting into Killing Joke and I
5:55
was just trying to branch out into more like funk and funk
6:01
adjacent stuff. Like, I wasn't unfamiliar with
6:05
punk, but I was into a lot of stuff that wasn't really in this
6:14
kind of end of the spectrum, and I was kind of getting into that
6:19
stuff the time. And yeah, like just immediately,
6:22
like listening to that first album, Don said it perfectly.
6:27
It's like it was like when you hear Nirvana for the first time,
6:34
it's just like the whole thing is so I'm laying and just hits
6:40
you in the face. But it's got hooks.
6:45
Like it's all hooks. Like every single song.
6:48
It's ugly and it's dissonant and it's like metallic, like not in
6:56
the way of like being heavy metal, but it's like, it's like
7:01
it's being played in a in a factory.
7:03
It's so loud, so catchy. Like, yeah, I just, and they and
7:08
then I those first three albums when I first discovered them
7:17
that were out, like I loved all of them.
7:19
And then, you know, when Atlas Vending came out, it was just
7:23
like a whole new like, level to what the band was doing.
7:29
And that made me love them even more.
7:31
That's like still to this day, like, I like, I listen to Atlas
7:35
Vending all the time start to finish.
7:37
It's so good. And then, you know, the swan
7:41
song album, Oh my God, I can't remember what's called Up on
7:46
Poppy Hill for Something Something poppy.
7:51
I got it up. On Gravity Hill, Up on Poppy
7:57
Hill is a jubilee movie. Yeah.
8:01
Up on Gravity Hill. Yeah.
8:03
And that, that album, it's just like it's a little more toned
8:06
down and, you know, the older you get and, you know, the more
8:11
you appreciate those kind of like deviations from something
8:16
being just like constantly pummeling.
8:18
And. Yeah, it was.
8:19
It was a really great book and to their career.
8:23
Yeah, he had done a solo project that had come out on Sub Pop a
8:27
couple of years before that there was a little more
8:28
atmospheric, a little more dreamy, a little more like
8:31
poppier. And I think they made a
8:33
conscious decision to like go in more of that direction for that
8:37
last album. OK, I didn't know that.
8:40
I'm going to have to check that out the the solo, Yeah.
8:43
What's the let me find out what it's called this weird
8:46
nightmare? That's what it was.
8:48
Yeah. Alex from that's had a thing
8:50
called weird nightmare and it got a lot of it.
8:54
It was just it intended to be I think like this little thing,
8:57
but it ended up getting a lot of traction.
9:00
Like a lot of people. It was pretty critically
9:02
acclaimed and yeah, I think they they were kind of going in that
9:06
direction. So it's it's a little more like
9:08
what that last records like. OK, Yeah, I see it here on the
9:13
the the covers like looks like kind of like a collage.
9:15
Mm, hmm, yeah, it's. Pretty good.
9:19
It's it's not Mets for sure, but it's, it's like, it's
9:23
interesting. Yeah, well.
9:26
Interesting, like I, I find, I don't know if this is just my
9:29
age, but I, I find a lot of the bands that we're coming across
9:33
now on the show, I've I'm using that word interesting and how
9:36
much more important that is to me when I listen to them now,
9:39
like, because especially when it comes to I find Mets interesting
9:46
like yes, like the especially the first 2-3 records are very
9:52
pummeling And you know, that's the easy way in for me is just
9:56
being pummeling. But you know, how you deviate
10:00
from that without letting it go is what I found it interesting
10:04
about these guys. And, you know, we'll get into
10:05
all the, all the, you know, intricacies of songs and whatnot
10:09
and, and what I thought was neat and but let's let's go back to
10:14
the beginning of this is a band that's kind of just kind of been
10:20
they unwillingly or unknowingly got me through a lot of hours of
10:25
GTA5. And I never even clocked the
10:29
name of the band. But they have a song on one of
10:33
the radio stations on GTA5. And that's two out of the last
10:37
three episodes that that I've done where this is this is the
10:40
case. But so many nights listening to
10:44
Vinewood Blvd. radio, which that song was on and it that song wet
10:51
blanket would get me through driving up the they dealing
10:56
drugs in stupid UPS trucks that you have to drive over a
11:00
mountain. It's ridiculous and slow, but
11:03
you need the songs because the if you listen to the mission
11:06
music, it'll drive you nuts. So you listen to the radio
11:09
instead and Mets had a song, as I mentioned, Wet Blanket on that
11:16
station that I listen to all the time.
11:17
So they got me through hours upon hours of GTA5 Online.
11:25
But what bumped them up to you know, my, you know me thinking,
11:31
Has this name band been put on our list yet?
11:34
Was they randomly showed up on John Mulaney Live his Netflix
11:41
show and like he gets a lot of and turns out like it was like a
11:45
one time only. As you guys mentioned, they
11:47
broke up. So it's like a one time only
11:49
thing. They just came and did him a
11:51
favor and played on his show and like they started playing the
11:55
song. I'm like, holy shit, who who is
11:57
this band? And so I had to start looking it
11:59
up and I had to go listen to the song.
12:01
And I go, John, this band Mets, they they were on Mullaney last
12:07
night. And I was like, didn't you put
12:08
them on the board? He's like, yeah, so here we are.
12:12
You know, just goes to show you like some things can kind of
12:15
live in in the back of your mind.
12:17
And then you just kind of put the two to two together.
12:20
So strangely enough, for a band I am just now getting into, they
12:24
have plenty of nostalgia for me. So let's talk about they don't
12:29
have a I'll say this before we before we get into this level.
12:33
I love that they're not they there's 10 albums with 10 songs
12:38
on them. So they don't overstay their
12:40
welcome, but they're not married to that either.
12:44
They're willing to go past that. But with that, you know, it
12:47
brings us to like what I think it was like 63 songs, John.
12:51
So it's it's not an an overly extensive discography, but
12:57
there's some heavy hitters here. So like as you're going through
13:00
it like what are you looking for to bring to the table for your
13:03
20 on this one? Yeah, just like those songs that
13:08
capture that, that mix of like beauty and chaos that I was
13:13
talking about, like where you can find the melody in the like
13:20
abrasiveness and the and the power of it.
13:22
Like that's when they really, that's, that's when I think Mets
13:25
is at their best. And like there's, there's a lot
13:28
of songs that have that. It was, it was tough.
13:30
Like there were, there were a few tough cuts at the very, very
13:33
end. But yeah, I mean, like those,
13:36
those first couple of records I, yeah, I was very, very familiar
13:39
with. I did, I, I kind of like once
13:43
once I realized that they were not going to be the saviors of
13:46
Rock'n'roll and that they were not going to be the biggest band
13:48
in the world like I had hoped. I did kind of like trail off and
13:53
like I didn't always keep up with them as as it got on
13:55
through Atlas vending and and up on gravity hill.
13:59
But going back and listen to those, they're just as good.
14:03
Like there's just as much power in those and melody as some of
14:05
the early stuff. So very, very consistent
14:08
geography. A lot of times when a band is
14:11
around for a long time, you'll see like they'll be peaks and
14:13
valleys, but with a band like Mets, they around for 10-11
14:17
years busted it out. Like there's that even Automat
14:20
the singles collection, very, very good stuff on there.
14:23
So yeah, this, this. It's tough when a band has a
14:25
very, like, consistent, deep discography like this.
14:28
So Andrew, was this because you, you almost immediately said,
14:34
yeah, I can turn this around quickly.
14:36
Did that feel like a foot in the mouth moment or or was it a a
14:40
fairly quick and easy move to get your 20?
14:45
It definitely felt like a foot in the mouth moment I got to.
14:51
I got it down to 34 pretty quick and then it was a struggle to
14:59
get it to I think it was 25, right around 25.
15:08
And yeah, just these past few days at, and like, just like day
15:14
by day, I'm getting rid of 1A day.
15:17
I, I, I remember saying that I was ready there I think a couple
15:22
two or three days ago, but I still had 22 and I was still, I
15:29
was like, well, when it comes to crunch, if it comes down to it,
15:31
I'll just, you know, I'll pull the trigger on a couple of them,
15:34
but I won't be happy about it. And you know, it was still that
15:38
it was 21 today. And up until just a couple hours
15:43
ago, I just kept, I'd listen to like the first 30 seconds of
15:46
every song to just remind me of what the songs, what each song
15:52
sounded like. And I was just like, man, I'd
15:56
like, I can't, I can't do this. I'm not going to be able to get
15:58
rid of one. But I mean I I eventually did
16:04
get rid of 1 so I I am at 20. But yes, this was the hardest
16:08
one I've done yet for getting down to 20.
16:13
The my first pass netted me 34 and I remember thinking, OK,
16:18
that's about half that seems about right, you know, You know,
16:22
none of them were. I think there was like there's
16:26
maybe a few like interlude type songs.
16:31
It's like, OK, thankfully that's an easy 1.
16:34
I don't have to take that. But for the most part, like kind
16:38
of everything was in play. And then I'm like, all right,
16:41
well, it's only 34, This won't be so bad.
16:44
There's got to be something that I kind of let through just
16:46
because I wanted to give it another spin.
16:49
And I remember saying to you guys, like as I was finishing,
16:53
like just how brutal 34 down to 20 was.
16:56
Like it was just every single song is just like, I, this feels
17:02
like it should be here. Oh man, this feels like it
17:06
should be here. And you know what?
17:09
Ultimately I ended up keeping, you know, hint, hint, hint, some
17:12
nostalgia plays. I ended up keeping some.
17:19
There's an urgency to this band that I, I wanted to make sure
17:22
was like, well, on display. Not that it's hard to find it,
17:25
but I wanted to make sure that the urgency was present.
17:30
You know, you guys have mentioned the chaos and the
17:32
beauty and so like I wanted to to make sure I kind of had a
17:36
little bit of of all that and it's a beautiful mess on my
17:41
list. And we'll see what that amounts
17:43
to cause again, 63 songs, John, it seems like this we should
17:47
make short work of this, but I think it'll be agreeable.
17:51
But I also don't it it could be really messy here, right?
17:55
What do you think for the final say?
17:58
Yeah, I mean the, the math, the analytics that I've been relying
18:02
on recently and it's been working out better for me.
18:06
Tell me that this is this is going to be, it's right down the
18:09
middle, right? There's not, it's not a 45
18:12
where, you know, the math might work out differently.
18:14
It's not an 80. So I'm going to shoot right down
18:17
the middle and say 5. OK.
18:18
Yeah, that seems right. It feels like there's maybe two
18:22
or three like quote UN quote gimmies and then maybe we we
18:26
just land on two that we're kind of like, oh, wow, that's the
18:29
one. All right.
18:30
What do you think Andrew? John's taken the middle.
18:37
I'm going to go that was thinking right around the
18:40
middle. I'm just going to go 6.
18:43
Yeah, this feels like it could go either way for me.
18:47
Like this feels like this truly feels like we could we could
18:51
surprise ourselves and get 10 like but but equally feels like
18:58
some so many twos and so many like so many.
19:03
You know, that was last. Oh God, I don't know, man.
19:10
So do I go one up or one down? I'll go one down.
19:16
This one does feel like I have a couple songs here that I could
19:20
probably pick if I do win one song specifically if if it
19:24
doesn't get in, I you know, that'll be the one I go to bat
19:27
for. So OK, all right, I'll I'm I'm
19:32
locking in on four. I usually try to go more
19:36
positive, but I feel like if I'm I'm in play, I guess is what I'm
19:42
saying. So all right, we're going to
19:43
take a quick pause and when we come back, we're going to play
19:46
the game jackets to programmed. And with that, the name of the
19:56
game is deprogrammed. The three of us have come
19:58
through the Mets discography and plucked out 20 songs they were
20:02
now going to mash together in an attempt to create a top ten star
20:04
kit for you case. You are like me and have never
20:08
given Mets the time of day. I think I have to start with the
20:17
first record and I think I have to start.
20:20
With the song that has lived in my heads what when did I get GTA
20:24
5/20/17 which was already like God knows how late in the game
20:32
but that this song has I already told you guys it's it's stayed
20:37
up till 3:00 in the morning playing GTA5 with me many many a
20:41
nights it's wet blanket. Yeah, I got it.
20:46
Yep. Yeah, there we go.
20:49
You know that was a. Late, late ad for me.
20:51
I originally didn't have it, but then going back and listening to
20:54
it, I was like, yeah, because I was, you know, I was worried
20:56
about taking too much from the first record, but that one had
20:58
to be on there. I mean, no, go ahead, Andrew.
21:03
I'll tag in after you. Yeah, I was going to say that
21:07
was like how I was saying I had a really hard time getting down
21:13
to 20 and there was like two or three that I had on the chopping
21:18
block and that was actually one of them.
21:21
But then I was just like, it's a wet blanket.
21:23
I I'm not getting rid of it. I will say that this is the only
21:28
specific song that I got answered.
21:31
I did get some people who said all of them and then one person
21:36
said their whole first record, but the the only time I got one
21:43
song specifically was Wet Blanket.
21:46
I'm glad it made it back on, but I also could understand because
21:50
that first record feels like we're we're going to collide
21:53
because I mean, it's 10 songs, you know the math.
21:57
But like that whole first record could easily be on this list.
22:02
So all right, absolutely very happy about that.
22:06
Wet blanket is in all right, John all.
22:10
Right, I'm going to go with the first Mets song that I heard
22:14
wasted. Fuck me.
22:16
Hell yeah. I'm glad that that's a 2.
22:20
That's one I wanted to make space for when I was coming back
22:24
around. I was listening to it.
22:25
I initially, it was definitely one of my first 34 for sure.
22:30
It's kind of the reason you almost cut wet blanket.
22:33
I didn't want to keep the whole first record.
22:36
I'm I'll be an easy pass on this or an easy pushover on this one
22:40
if we get around. But no, I didn't have it.
22:44
Unfortunately, there's you know, there's no reason.
22:47
I just didn't have space for it. So we take the two there.
22:51
I feel bad. I'm going to cry and then ask
22:55
Andrew which song he wants to play.
22:59
I'll stay on the first album and go with Greg.
23:04
Probably one of my favorite ones, if not my favorite just
23:06
because it it does have a slightly different vibe.
23:10
Like it's just a little bit slower tempo than the rest of
23:14
the songs I find on the first album.
23:17
Sad pricks. I so easily could have had that
23:23
I didn't. I got it.
23:26
Good, good. I so easily could have had that.
23:31
I mean, again, definitely on my first pass.
23:34
Like for sure, what am I 34? It's hard to cut anything off
23:40
the first album, really. It is.
23:43
It all it all. Perfect out.
23:45
It it it all fits exactly what I want to send people to Mets They
23:51
they all and. That minute long noise track is
23:53
really good. It is, yeah.
23:54
Nausea. Yeah, yeah.
23:58
Oh boy. Well, I guess maybe I can kind
24:03
of. I'll venture out, even though
24:05
there's there's still songs from the first record I have.
24:09
I'll venture out. I'll venture on over to the
24:12
second record. How about nervous system?
24:20
No. No very late cut.
24:23
Wow, my first binner. OK, nervous system in the bin,
24:28
John. All right, they are a band that
24:33
has amazing last tracks. And Justin, your first track
24:39
guy, people know this, that they listen to the show.
24:41
I learn more towards the last track.
24:43
So let's go to the last track on that second record.
24:45
Kicking a can of worms. I think that's the only last
24:55
track that I might not have. I'm looking at looking at the
24:59
list right now and I think I have, I think I have a few of
25:03
the last tracks, but yeah, now I I don't have it.
25:07
Really good song man. I I wish I could save you.
25:10
I will say again yet again not that this matters because I will
25:14
say this a lot at least 14 times definitely on my first pass.
25:19
Definitely a hard one to cut and definitely agree with you that
25:23
they are great last track band. They are phenomenal at it and
25:28
especially since like not that their song, their sound is the
25:31
same, but like the track ones are great.
25:37
But it's it seems to be like the same energy on each track 1 and
25:43
for each album. Whereas I feel like the last
25:46
track is where they kind of, you know, change it up a little bit
25:51
and sometimes slow it down, but sometimes space it out.
25:55
So I did like that one. Just can't save you.
25:59
All that to say no Andrew. All right, I'm going to.
26:10
I got quite a few from Atlas Spending, so I'm going to go to
26:13
Atlas Spending and I'll go with the first track folks.
26:24
No. Yes.
26:27
All right. You guys are driving, you guys
26:31
are vibing and maybe. Like that, that song kind of
26:34
when I first heard that, like, 'cause you're so used to Mets
26:38
like coming right under the gate and like slapping you across the
26:42
face with like a, you know, like a minute and a half banger.
26:46
And then Pulse comes in and it's just like that booming kick
26:50
drum. And then they come in with the
26:52
panic chords and then they're smashing the snare at on like
26:56
the 5th beats and stuff. Like man, it's so, so good.
27:00
Just like reminds me of like when like Converge would get
27:05
like slow and do like a like a sludgy or noisy type ref.
27:16
OK. I'm just going to keep I'll try
27:24
strange piece this go. How about mess of wires?
27:29
Yeah, I got it. Yeah.
27:31
Hey, all right, That is 1 I didn't expect.
27:37
I like that. Let me queue that up and then
27:42
we'll get on with it. Mess of wires.
27:47
Oh, that's a track one. Surprise, surprise.
27:56
Is strange piece the one that they worked on with Albini or is
27:59
that the next one? Yeah, that's one.
28:04
That's one with Albini. That's a third record.
28:07
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one they did with
28:10
Albini. So like that was something I
28:12
meant to say in the in the, you know, in the opening things is
28:16
like there's definitely like a shellac influence.
28:19
You mentioned like sounding like industrial, like not like
28:24
industrial music, but sounding like metallic.
28:27
And that is something that especially in shellac, like
28:32
they, I think he played with like like copper wires and like.
28:37
Even even more like Big Black like his pre shellac band.
28:41
Yeah, that's. Kind of.
28:42
It's more back to Big Black, yeah.
28:44
So yeah, just a machine. This album for sure was like,
28:50
OK, yeah. I mean, I, I heard it from the
28:52
first record. But then not even knowing that
28:56
they worked with him, I was like, Oh yeah.
28:57
And then I looked that up before, before we went on and
29:00
say, oh, OK, so they worked with him.
29:01
That makes sense. Quick aside Justin, have you
29:05
have? Have you heard Big Black or no?
29:07
I think maybe in passing before, but I've never actually like
29:10
listened, listened so. OK, we got to, we got to get
29:13
them on going then. Eventually, yes, because I know
29:17
I'll love it. There's no way I won't.
29:19
Yeah. All right, so mess of wires is
29:22
in. That was me.
29:23
John, you're up. All right.
29:27
I think this one's going to be has a pretty good shot.
29:30
It's it's another last track. It's one that they used to close
29:33
with live, and it is the one that has been mentioned
29:37
previously as being the one that they reunited to play.
29:41
About to drown in. Fuck yeah.
29:43
Oh yeah. Oh good, yeah, that I won't have
29:46
to save that one. I God bless it.
29:49
I love this song. Yeah, yeah, All my favorites
29:53
now. I think it is mine now, granted,
29:56
I don't have any past with them and it was technically speaking,
30:02
my my introduction to them, even though I had been previously.
30:06
It was the first song I heard by them that I knew was by them and
30:12
I saw them play it live, which obviously is yet another
30:15
different thing. And then I was like, OK, well,
30:17
let's go listen to see what this this sounds like.
30:21
I was like, oh, it's even more oh, what's the first line?
30:28
Something like which I'm not going to reference words a lot
30:31
here, but this song I am because it keeps getting caught in my
30:36
head. Watch out, watch out or wait.
30:41
Something coming at midnight because if we don't leave now,
30:44
we're not getting out alive. Like that line, just like, like
30:49
pierced my brain. Yeah.
30:52
I think I misquoted it, but it is something along those lines.
30:55
I'm bringing up the lyrics. I don't care.
30:56
Before we leave it. Hold on tight.
30:59
We're leaving at midnight. And if we don't leave now, we're
31:00
not getting out a lot. That's that's what it is.
31:02
I was close, but yeah. And then like they.
31:07
Had some weird cool videos too and that's that's one of the
31:10
weird videos. I bet like it's just, I don't
31:13
know, man. It's just, you know, we talked
31:15
about, I think this one's like a neat exploration of their sound.
31:20
Like it's pretty simple in it's like construction.
31:25
As far as I know. He's playing on.
31:29
I think it's AC cause let's see 8th fret.
31:34
Yeah, I think that's AC and it's pretty much just that.
31:39
But the over that he's got another and then to me, you
31:45
know, so you, you've got all these elements and then after 8,
31:50
after an 8 count that it's heavenly and. 7 1/2 minutes
31:58
long. Yes, so.
32:00
Longest song. They punish you for like 3
32:02
minutes straight too. And it's just like that same
32:05
like the with all these like awesome stops and and then at 3
32:12
minutes it just kind of everything evaporates but the
32:14
Katar and it's he just kind of not even really noodles.
32:19
It's just like a couple like drawn out almost drone chords
32:23
before everybody comes back in. And then he kind of takes his
32:27
guitar up and over above it and it's like kind of floaty but
32:30
also noisy and awe. It's just it's lovely.
32:33
And look, man, I don't know that I'd necessarily say that this
32:41
isn't a number one, but it is for sure in my contention
32:45
because it's everything about why, why I wanted to jump this
32:51
band up the line because it delivered live.
32:54
Then I listened to it. And then the difference between
32:57
listening to it in the car, the listening to it in the buds, and
33:00
then listening into my cans just before we went on like, oh, like
33:04
it's just three different experiences, all of them great.
33:07
So anyway, all that to say, hell yeah, it's in.
33:13
Oh, that makes me happy. That was definitely the song
33:16
that I was going to like bring in if I somehow won.
33:19
So I mean, there's definitely other ones, but like, that was
33:22
the one I was like, if that somehow doesn't get in, I got to
33:25
I got to figure that a way to get that one in, but no need.
33:29
It's in. All right, Boat to drown in is
33:33
in. And Andrew?
33:40
I'm going to go to the second record and let's go spit you
33:49
out. Yes, Sir.
33:53
Yeah. Hey.
33:56
Nice. Hey, just like that little feel
34:01
out period there. I mean, still plenty of plenty
34:04
of play to go, but. They're so good at like creating
34:13
tension. I find like like what just with
34:17
the the chords they use and the manner in which they use them
34:23
and just going back to a boat to drown in like how they just like
34:27
hang on a note and it's just it's good.
34:32
Like you don't need to play. They they prove that you don't
34:36
need to play a bunch of notes to sound good.
34:39
You just play and it, I don't know, it just you can just feel
34:44
like how good the song is. And then they like they always
34:51
build up that tension by like holding those notes and using
34:55
like wonky chords and stuff. And then they drop out, you
34:59
know, drop down an octave and like hit like a, I don't know,
35:04
just like a really good riff. I I don't know, I don't really
35:07
know what I'm trying to say, but.
35:10
That's something that Nirvana also did very well.
35:12
And like those early Seattle bands like, you know, Green
35:16
River, Soundgarden, you know, Skin Yard, that there's a lot of
35:20
that in this, too. Yeah.
35:23
It is, you know, it is great to hear like all those, all these
35:29
bands coming up that I thought, you know, as I was listening to
35:33
it, especially like Nirvana and like the fact that they took it.
35:39
You know, you mentioned you thought they were going to save
35:43
Rock'n'roll but they didn't. But you know, there if, if we do
35:51
our job, firstly, maybe we put it into ears of, of people who
35:54
are going on to, you know, write rock'n'roll songs.
35:57
I know I can say for a fact that, you know, I'm older so I
36:02
can't I probably can't save rock'n'roll with with my dump
36:05
band. But like I'm already like trying
36:08
to take in what I've gotten from Mets and work it into my guitar.
36:14
Like, you know, these last couple songs especially like
36:17
boat to drown and specifically like I want to work in work that
36:22
into what I'm doing on guitar somehow.
36:27
And the more that happens, you know, the more the youth
36:31
gravitates toward towards it and maybe they, you know, bring it
36:35
forward and maybe they do save rock'n'roll and kind of a
36:38
roundabout way, all that to say. And it's it's, you know, like
36:44
being in like a time of like where music, So it's like fast
36:50
food and it's all tik toks and this and that.
36:52
Not to sound like a fucking boomer, but like, you know what
36:57
I mean though, It's like it's all videos of someone like
37:01
playing some crazy riff or something that you know, you
37:07
need a degree in mathematics or something to understand.
37:13
Like and then you know, that's just Max is just so much better
37:18
than all that shit. And they don't they don't do any
37:22
of the noodly shit. They just, I don't know man,
37:26
they just play hard and it's so good.
37:29
I, you know, it, it, it feels funny because this is a podcast
37:33
and we, we try to say a lot of words, but sometimes, man, like
37:39
sometimes that is all it is. Andrew is they're just fucking
37:42
good. And you know, like if we end up
37:45
just saying they're just fucking good, a lot of times they I'm
37:48
sorry that maybe you, the listener, will feel like we're
37:51
being repetitive. Listen to the band and and
37:54
you'll understand so well. That's that's kind of what I,
37:57
what I was saying before we went on Justin is like the with those
38:03
first few records. It's just like I I kind of
38:06
forget which songs are which, like not knowing them by name,
38:10
knowing them by, by riff, because it's just, it's all just
38:17
it all rips. Like it all just rips from start
38:21
to finish every song. And you know, yeah, no, you're,
38:27
you're absolutely right. Like you can only say so much
38:30
about it when at the end of the day it's just really, really
38:34
fucking good. Yep, all right, spit you out in.
38:39
We're already at my 4, which means we can easily pass my 4,
38:43
which is great. John mentioned Automat, so I
38:52
found myself really drawn to Automat considering how much I
38:56
enjoyed everything prior to it. I thought it was weird that I
38:59
found myself further drawn into Automat, but let's let's dig
39:04
into that. A.
39:06
How about? How about pure auto?
39:12
I don't have that. No.
39:15
Bend, OK. I feel OK getting bend at this
39:18
point. Their singles are real good
39:21
though. Yeah, I'm.
39:22
Going to talk about another one in just a second.
39:24
All right, John. So after the first record came
39:28
out, it might have even been like shortly after a King with
39:31
the Loser edition and Soap op or something.
39:33
There was a 7 inch that came with it with two songs on and I
39:37
remember thinking like man, like these songs are just as good as
39:40
the stuff on the record. Like the Spade's amazing and the
39:43
one that really stuck on these dirty shirt.
39:45
Let's go with that one. Fuck me.
39:49
I don't have. It you know what I'm going to
39:51
say, you know what I'm going to say, I, like you, thought both
39:58
of them were excellent and you know, had every right to be on
40:04
the 1st record, but also wouldn't change a thing about
40:06
the first record. I just, I didn't keep it.
40:11
I may or may not. That's so good.
40:13
I know. I know, man.
40:14
So I can let you down, Andrew. Let's go with the the swan song
40:24
on the swan song, Light your way home.
40:26
Oh. Man, no.
40:30
The only last track I didn't take.
40:33
Oh God damn. Nothing against it at all.
40:39
Yeah. I just didn't have room for it.
40:41
That's. Yeah, I I just like how
40:44
different it is. Like I don't think they have
40:47
another track with acoustic guitar in it.
40:50
I'm almost positive they don't I.
40:52
Could be wrong, but and then like the the guest vocals in it
40:57
are just really like super pretty.
40:59
It was just a really, really cool way for them to play
41:05
themselves out. All right, John kind of gave a
41:12
spoiler. I had no in.
41:14
I was going to go here anyway, so I think I at least got one of
41:18
you. I'm going to go back to the
41:20
first record. How about negative space?
41:25
I don't have it. And I of course do.
41:30
That was where I knew I was like, oh shit, yeah, they're
41:32
going to be last track guys, all right, Space grabs that too.
41:40
And John all. Right.
41:44
How about throw out a one of these, one of these deep cuts to
41:51
see how that goes? How about framed by the comet's
41:53
tail? Like Pat, very late cat, OK.
42:01
I can't tell you where that that fell out.
42:04
No idea. All right, Andrew.
42:12
I'm gonna stay on Atlas spending and go with Blind Youth
42:17
Industrial. Park, yeah.
42:21
Yep. Hey, get right right off of that
42:24
four. Thank you.
42:27
Pressure is off, even though I would have been fine with
42:30
picking any of these fine, fine songs.
42:35
But still not out of NTP though. That's true.
42:39
That's true. Boom, boom, boom.
42:42
Let's get that queued and we're back around to me.
42:51
Eh, I'm scrolling through this the the big playlist like as I'm
42:57
trying to bring this song up to the top and I'm like, man, I
43:01
can't believe I didn't have that song.
43:03
I didn't have that song. Can't believe I don't have that
43:06
song sucks. Never have I been so close to
43:14
like the songs that that got dropped off.
43:17
All right, what do we got here? Maybe.
43:36
Come on, how about? I'm trying to try another
43:48
strange piece. How about common trash?
43:53
I don't have that. Oh no.
43:56
Block another one to the bin. That's all right, John.
44:03
All right, let's go into our last track.
44:06
How about raw materials? Fuck.
44:10
No, I don't have that one. You know what I'm going to say
44:13
that one was for. Sure, here we go.
44:16
For sure and the, the 14, I hope somebody's keeping track because
44:25
I, I don't know how many times I've said that yet.
44:30
All right, Andrew, go. Lost in Blank City.
44:40
Oh fuck. Another weird one.
44:46
That's another one that was definitely in that 14.
44:51
You know that that was #21. Yeah.
44:57
That's one of the ones I was just talking about.
44:58
As I was scrolling past the the playlist.
45:01
I saw it and I was like, oh man, I don't have that one.
45:03
I hope nobody else picked it. It's it's one that I really
45:07
like, but it just, there was another one that edged it out.
45:12
All right, oh man, we still, what are we at the five through
45:18
unanimous 4/4 twos? All right, and I'll try it up on
45:35
gravity. How about how about wound tight?
45:40
No, I don't have. Nope.
45:45
All right, job all. Right, let's try to get back on
45:51
the back on the bus here. How about headache?
45:54
Yes, Sir. Yeah, I got it.
45:57
All right. You know what's great is like it
46:01
does the thing. I didn't lead with it because I
46:04
didn't need to. There's so many Met songs that
46:06
do the thing, but like, I also had to have it because it does
46:12
the thing. So yeah, I love that.
46:18
You know, again, what are you? What are you getting into with
46:22
his band? Well, listen to Headache and
46:25
you'll know. And there you go.
46:28
But that was the moment. I mean, I already knew I was
46:30
going to like this band, but you never know.
46:32
Like maybe the two songs I'd heard, you know, were outliers
46:37
and maybe they did something else.
46:39
But I heard this. I was like, Nope, it's exactly
46:41
what I was hoping. All right, And just like that,
46:48
we're at Andrews 6. Andrew, it's your turn.
46:53
Oh, and out of NTP, John's bad. Sorry, dirty shirt.
47:01
I think I'll go with one that I think is a slam dunk crack one
47:09
from the second album. It's a Tate.
47:11
Yeah, I got it. Would you say sorry?
47:15
Acetate. Yeah, I got it.
47:18
Hey, there we go. It is funny, like I mentioned,
47:24
you know, they're not, they're definitely last track guys.
47:27
Not to take away from their track ones, you know, but
47:32
because they also have really great track ones.
47:36
Yeah, that was a slow burn too. Yeah.
47:42
Oh, man, I really love this band.
47:44
This it's I I have to mention this.
47:47
You were on a streak there for a while, John, where like every
47:49
time you came on, it was a band that I want, like I fell in love
47:54
with and want. Like, this is too straight for
47:56
Andrew that I've fallen in love with and like, really?
48:00
I knew this was going to be a Justin band.
48:02
Yeah, yeah, for sure. This has.
48:05
This has Justin written all over it.
48:10
So all right, acetate is in up and over.
48:15
We have actually have a conversation now for the twos
48:19
with still plenty of gameplay left, I believe.
48:21
Let me make sure before I say that. 12345678 Yeah yeah, you
48:31
guys should have less than me. I think I have 800-7467 eight.
48:39
Yeah, I still got 8 left. OK, All right.
48:45
John must not have gotten binned very often.
48:49
It's happened a couple of times, but yeah, been been with you
48:53
guys mostly. All right, so I say maybe we'll
48:58
do three more rounds and then dump out.
49:00
That sounds like a plan, I think.
49:08
I'll try out another automat. How about?
49:10
How about soft white out? Now I don't have it.
49:16
Nope. OK, another binner, John.
49:23
All right, let's go. I only picked one off of up on
49:26
gravity hill, not because I didn't like it, just because
49:28
there was just too much on the other ones that I had to go
49:32
with, but this one really stuck out.
49:34
It's no reservations slash love comes crashing.
49:38
That was a late cat. Very good.
49:40
I don't know where it dropped out, but I'm pretty sure it's
49:44
one of those 14. That's where it starts to get
49:46
murky. I'm almost positive that was on
49:48
my first pass. All right, Andrew.
50:01
Well, maybe I'll go with another one that I think is another slam
50:05
dunk. I'm just going to keep saying
50:07
that and then it'll it'll will it into existence.
50:11
Yeah, off the first album. Rats.
50:14
Fuck me no. Oops.
50:19
No. Oh God damn.
50:22
I mean, to be fair, I. Don't feel great about it.
50:25
No, to be fair, you're right. That easily could have been.
50:30
Like it's not. You weren't wrong like it could
50:34
be, it just unfortunately was. Not yeah.
50:37
The problem was I already had seven for that record.
50:40
Yeah. Yeah.
50:43
That's the problem with that first record is there's so much
50:46
available. All right, How about cellophane?
50:56
Wait, cut. No.
50:59
All right. Bummer, John.
51:04
Mr. Plague. Fuck.
51:07
No, I don't have that one. That's the other one that I was
51:10
like, God, why? Why didn't I find room for that
51:14
one? We have to be getting towards
51:17
the end of my 14 because I'm I'm 99%.
51:22
That's wonderful. This list of this list of the
51:24
trash is looking pretty good. Yeah, I know, I know.
51:30
Brutal. Brutal.
51:34
That was one I felt I that may have been, though they may have
51:37
been 21 because that might have been the one I cut and messaged
51:41
you guys immediately about how brutal those last ones were.
51:47
All right, Andrew. I still got some left from Atlas
51:53
ending here, so I'll stick there.
52:01
No ceiling. No, no, I still think I still
52:09
have one left from Atlas vending, but that is not it.
52:12
I do as well. So since we're going to our last
52:14
round, I will try my Atlas vending.
52:18
Try to find you, John. How about hail taxi?
52:25
That's it. Yes.
52:28
Oh, Hail Mary with the hail taxi.
52:31
Yeah, did not see that one coming.
52:33
We'll take it though. Love that love.
52:38
That there's there's never, there has to have never been a
52:39
time when there's been twice as many in the 10 as there is in
52:42
the conversation. We have 8IN.
52:46
We have 8 in the list and only four in the conversation.
52:48
It's it's wild. It's either in or it's in the
52:51
bin. Like no in between.
52:54
Wow. Which is crazy.
52:56
Well, I mean, I don't know, man. Like that feels right on brand
53:00
like when you think about the depth of this discography.
53:05
Right. Like it.
53:07
I would have thought more twos but honestly like this actually
53:11
unfortunately makes more sense. Get this up to the top.
53:16
Hail taxi. That's one of the ones I did not
53:20
think was unanimous though I would, I want to hedge bets on
53:24
that being at best of two. All right, it's in though.
53:29
And John? I've only got 2 left.
53:35
They're both, I believe, off the first record, so got to go with
53:41
get off. Yes, Sir.
53:45
No, I don't have that. I don't feel good about not
53:48
having it. Yeah, Right.
53:51
Right. There's a lot of that going
53:53
around. There's a lot of that going
53:55
around. All right, Andrew.
54:02
Well, for my this is the last round before the dump.
54:06
I'm going to go with one that I really like, but it's kind of a
54:10
deep at home. I'm not too confident that it'll
54:13
have another one, but the second record landfill.
54:18
Very good, no? Nope.
54:23
No reason. I don't think it was on that my
54:29
first pass. I think I'm finally out of of
54:32
those 14. I I find myself really drawn to
54:36
when they kind of like slow the tempo down a bit, but like get
54:42
really like grungy heavy like Melvin Z with the way they riff,
54:49
just like heavy single note reps.
54:52
Yeah. Yeah.
54:54
I love, I love a single note like I don't, I, you know, I, I
55:00
think it might be overlooked at how effective a single note can
55:06
can be if you use it right. Yeah, that one, like the
55:11
opening, it's just like they're just beating on the Toms and
55:14
then they have what they're playing one note slowly, but
55:18
like kind of bending the note a bit so it gives it that kind of
55:22
like, you know, sludgy kind of feel.
55:27
You know it. I believe it was Jack Black who
55:29
said, you know, dude, it's fucking one note.
55:33
Actually, I think it was Rage Cage who said it back to Jack
55:36
after you played the dude. I did.
55:37
I told you to put the bendy thing in there.
55:41
All right, so dumping out. I'll start at the top here off
55:45
of The Dirty shirt single I got. Leave me out.
55:50
No, I don't have it. No.
55:52
Love it, but no. Ripped on the fence?
55:57
Don't have it? Nope.
56:01
All right, Heaven's Gate. Don't have it?
56:06
Nope. Did a little bit of overthinking
56:09
I think. And then last but not least, off
56:12
of Up on Gravity entwined Street Light, Blood Buzz.
56:17
I do have that. Hey.
56:20
Oh wow, I'll. Take a 2 there.
56:23
Nope. Yeah, that Two's all right
56:25
though. All right, so none of us are
56:28
going to win. What did we end up at?
56:30
8 I think. Yeah.
56:33
That's great. I love that.
56:37
Nobody's going to win, so we are going to have to work our way
56:40
back to 10. But by my count, you have one
56:45
left, John. Wrecked knife in the water.
56:51
Oh fuck. Don't have it?
56:57
Yeah. All right.
56:59
And then Andrew, whatever you got left.
57:03
My last three are the mules. Fuck.
57:07
Drained lake and the mirror. All right.
57:14
Well, a couple of the ones that or like really hard cuts did not
57:18
come up like I had IOU as like a really hard cut for me.
57:23
Yeah, that's a good song. Was the one I have the mirror,
57:27
the mirror. I think I had the mirror.
57:29
I think the mirror might be my true last of the 14 I think
57:35
because I remember having that on my first pass, but it may
57:39
have been like 35. Who knows?
57:42
Well, fellas. Swimmer too.
57:43
That was a that was a late one for me.
57:45
The swimmers, great. Nobody mentioned it, but that
57:48
was that was a late cut for me. I really thought about adding it
57:51
at the last minute. So when you when the numbers
57:54
bear out and you know, I'll run over the list here in a second,
57:57
but when the numbers bear out you can see what happened.
58:00
We all really love the first record because the only thing
58:03
that didn't come up is the noise track nausea.
58:06
The other 9 tracks we all had we had.
58:09
So we covered the entirety of that.
58:15
Everything else is kind of like, you know, we covered a lot of
58:19
Atlas vending, maybe half a strange piece, half of 2.
58:26
All right, let's let's get to work here.
58:28
The eight that are in wet blanket mess of wires, a boat to
58:32
drown in spit you out, blind youth, industrial park,
58:34
headache, acetate, inhale, taxi are in all right.
58:39
So we've got 2 spots to get two of these twos wasted.
58:43
Sad pricks. Pulse negative space, get off
58:48
and entwined how big it this is all this is all self-titled,
59:02
mostly self-titled. Then one Atlas vending and one
59:05
up on gravity hill. How important is representation
59:11
here? Because we have the one up on
59:12
gravity hill. That or gravity.
59:16
I keep keep saying that is gravity hill.
59:19
If we think representation is important then we should take
59:23
that. But I'm also open to not because
59:26
we only have two spaces. Yeah, my thought is that we have
59:34
enough Atlas vending, as much as I like Pulse, and if we had a
59:38
third spot, maybe if Hail Taxi maybe hadn't gotten in, I would
59:42
have fought for Pulse. But I think it's wasted and
59:47
entwined. I think that rounds it out very
59:50
nicely. What?
59:51
Do you think Andrew? Those would have been the two
59:55
that I would have picked as well.
59:57
Wasted just because I feel like that's a free in spirit.
1:00:02
Yeah. And entwined because.
1:00:06
Just for both the representation and because it's it's different,
1:00:13
it's unique. It's kind of a unique part of
1:00:18
their discography. The last album was where it's a
1:00:21
little bit more melodic and a little less, you know, in your
1:00:25
faith. And I think that song kind of
1:00:30
perfectly thumbs up where they were at the end of their career.
1:00:37
Yeah, I mean, no need to argue. I mean, there's, you know, I had
1:00:41
even mentioned that Wasted was so close for me anyway, it may
1:00:46
have been 21. I know it was on my first pass
1:00:49
when I was listening to it beforehand, I was like off why
1:00:52
don't I have this? And funnily enough, I think
1:00:55
maybe it comes, I think it's close to wet blanket and wasted
1:01:00
is what comes up on the screen when you die in GTA5.
1:01:04
So like, you know, whatever, that's a dumb little thing, but
1:01:09
it is a tie in for me. So easy pushover on that one.
1:01:12
And you know, not to beat a dead horse, but I yeah, entwined, I
1:01:15
think round us out nicely. So no need to argue about it.
1:01:19
That rounds out our ten. We run it down 11 real quick and
1:01:24
we will we will turn up the heat a little.
1:01:27
So we got wet blanket Mesa wires, a boat to drown in, spit
1:01:30
you out, blind youth, industrial park headache, acetate, hail
1:01:34
taxi wasted entwined street light buzz.
1:01:37
Of those 10, John, which one do you think is the one?
1:01:42
Oh it's, it's easy, it's a boat to drown in.
1:01:44
Fuck yeah. Agreed.
1:01:46
Yes, Oh thank God. Oh man, it is.
1:01:50
Do you realize how? Rare I could make.
1:01:53
I could make arguments or I could make an argument for
1:02:00
headache, yeah. But sure, just.
1:02:03
Cuz, you know, first track, first album, it's fucking sick.
1:02:07
But a boat to drown in is there, you know.
1:02:15
It's their, it's their opus. It's their masterpiece.
1:02:17
Like, that might be their Best Song.
1:02:19
Yeah, absolutely. There's a reason that they
1:02:22
picked that song of all the songs to play on John Mulaney
1:02:27
and but look, man, like it's rare that I'm that right, You
1:02:35
know what I mean? Like it's rare that I am this
1:02:38
right on a band and you know not.
1:02:39
Give yourself a little bit of credit, man Come.
1:02:41
On well, what I mean is like, not to pat pat myself on the
1:02:44
back here, but like it is rare that the song that I that found
1:02:50
me that not only everybody agrees on, but agrees to that
1:02:55
degree. Like it just, it makes me feel
1:02:59
really good and it really speaks to the song, which I think does
1:03:05
things on multiple levels for for it, you know, as being our
1:03:09
number 1. And I think I think it has that
1:03:13
in your face element while still kind of getting Spacey towards
1:03:17
the end, as we mentioned before. Like I think it does everything
1:03:21
we want it to do. And then on top of that, it's
1:03:24
also cool because it's 7 1/2 minutes long, which rules.
1:03:29
So yeah, I think I think we nailed that and it it just, it
1:03:33
really makes me happy to hear the unanimous consent in that,
1:03:38
that there there's arguments to be made for sure, but like that,
1:03:42
that's the one that we that we're going with.
1:03:45
So I'm all that to say, I'm great.
1:03:49
I figured it out. All right, let me get that
1:03:52
queued up and then I'll run it down one last time and then
1:03:54
we'll get on out of here. A boat to drowning is our number
1:03:59
1 and I highly recommend because you're only going to get to hear
1:04:03
a few seconds of it on its own in a minute.
1:04:06
I highly recommend, if nothing else, you listen to this this
1:04:09
song. But A boat to drown you in A
1:04:12
boat to drown in is our number one.
1:04:14
Wet blanket, mess of wires spit you out, blind youth industrial
1:04:17
park headache acetate hail taxi wasted entwined streetlight
1:04:21
buzz. Really proud of this list.
1:04:22
We we nailed this one, fellas. With that, let's let A boat to
1:04:27
drown in get a moment in the sun.
1:04:39
Messy an urgent. God I love that.
1:04:49
I was hoping we were going to be able to get to that, the first
1:04:51
breakdown part before the verse, but Spotify would like kick me
1:04:56
in the nuts for doing that, so sorry.
1:04:59
Hey, we've done all the work for you.
1:05:01
As mentioned, you are now a Mets fan.
1:05:03
You're very, very welcome. And no, we're not talking about
1:05:05
the baseball fan, because if you are a baseball fan of the Mets,
1:05:09
as I am, I'm sorry. But I'm really happy that you
1:05:13
were about to be a fan of Mets of the band because they rule.
1:05:16
They are great and you'll be happy with having them in your
1:05:19
life as I am. Hey, but maybe you disagree with
1:05:23
our list. I don't know how you could.
1:05:25
I don't know how you could listen to this list and and see
1:05:27
these songs and be like, Nah, man, you're wrong.
1:05:30
OK, Hop in the comments though, if you're going to do that.
1:05:33
If you disagree, if you're listening on Spotify, we can now
1:05:36
have a comment thread. So hey, I disagree.
1:05:40
These are the songs I would have put in and then I could comment
1:05:42
back. I agree.
1:05:44
But which songs would you take out?
1:05:46
See, Not so easy, is it, huh? How about that?
1:05:50
But yeah, we can go back and forth on that.
1:05:51
But if you're going to do that, please give the show a five star
1:05:54
rating. Very much helps us get seen in
1:05:56
the algorithm. Same thing for Apple podcast.
1:05:59
If you're going to leave a review, please give five stars
1:06:02
that go along with it. Would appreciate that a great
1:06:04
deal. If you want to go a little extra
1:06:07
mile, that would be cool. patreon.com/oh Hi Justin.
1:06:11
A dollar a month gets you in the door.
1:06:13
It gets you access to the conversation we're about to have
1:06:15
after the fact. It gets you deprogrammed before
1:06:17
the rest of the world, yadda, yadda, yadda, other things.
1:06:20
It also gets you access to our Discord channel or Discord
1:06:24
server, certain channels in our Discord server.
1:06:27
So yeah, a dollar a month gets you in there and you can come
1:06:31
hang out and you know, we have finding panelist channel where
1:06:36
if you want to come talk about a band, you just say, hey, I'd
1:06:39
like to talk about this band. And then maybe somebody goes,
1:06:41
yeah, I'll do that with you. Probably John.
1:06:44
John says yes to a lot of things.
1:06:46
Yes. Yeah.
1:06:47
So there's that. We also have a music league
1:06:51
channel in there where we do music league in most weeks.
1:06:54
I don't do well, but it is fun. Like it's it's a way to keep
1:06:57
points and try to beat your friends at music.
1:07:00
It's it's. I might, I might win this one.
1:07:02
Oh really? I haven't even looked at the
1:07:04
standings. I'm pretty sure I'm doing
1:07:05
poorly. So we also have a channel where
1:07:09
we're growing a tree, a channel where we're counting, which is
1:07:12
great. John pointed out it sounds like
1:07:14
we're in kindergarten. Maybe there is a channel where
1:07:17
you're not allowed to do bits. All that happens in the Legion
1:07:20
of Stupid Discord. If all that sounds interesting,
1:07:22
but you don't want to pay the dollar to back channel in
1:07:25
through the Patreon, Legion of Stupid Discord, just search and
1:07:28
you can hop in or ask me for a link and we'll we'll get you in
1:07:32
there and come have fun. It'll be great.
1:07:34
Good times. Let's see.
1:07:37
We're a podcast, subscribing, rating, commenting, all that is
1:07:39
super helpful. We're also on IMDb, which I
1:07:43
mentioned a couple times recently.
1:07:46
I don't know how we got there, but we are.
1:07:48
I think Chris put a couple panelists in there just saying
1:07:53
we're we're there. I don't know if you can listen
1:07:55
to the show from there, but we're there and rating and
1:07:59
commenting and all that is helpful.
1:08:01
Sharing is helpful. But the best way you can help is
1:08:03
by telling somebody that you listen to the show.
1:08:05
Hey, I listen to you programmed and you should too.
1:08:08
And that would be super helpful. And I wouldn't even be able to
1:08:12
put into words how much I appreciate that.
1:08:14
And with that, Mets learn them loving people.
1:08:17
We'll see you next week.
