• 0:05
  Speaker 1: just to touch to get you through. Yeah, me too.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to Disgraceland, the after party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a little thing we like to call the after party.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: This is the show after the show, the party after
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the party, the bridge to get you from one full
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: into the dirt. On this episode, we are talking just
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a teen s weensy a little bit about this week's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: full episode of Ariana Grande and digging into a ton
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of your voicemails, your texts, and your dms. We took
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the week or fourth of July off and didn't have
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: an after party episode, so consider the same makeup episode
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and a heavy engagement dive with you.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We talked me to your rock star heroes, more Arrowsmith,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the greatest hip hop groups of all time. All right,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: disc goes, let's get into it. Microphone check one one
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: one one one one one one. Okay, Discos, welcome back
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: from the break that is, assuming you had one. Hopefully
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you did. Hopefully you're over your hangovers, and you still
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: got all your digits on your hands and your feets,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and there's been no fireworks accidents. You guys are ready,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: ready like I am, to talk about what we here
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in Disgraceland are constantly obsessed with, and that is music
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and the gloriously flawed and talented men and women who
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: make it. I know that I am all right. This
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: week in Disgraceland, our full episode is on Ariana Grande,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and quite honestly, it's one of my new favorites. It
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: is literally action packed thirty minutes of compressed drama detailing
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the terrorist attack at her concert in Manchester, England, back
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in May of twenty seventeen. So this is one of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the more recent subjects that we've done. I highly encourage
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you guys to check this episode out. Normally, as you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I dive into the episodes here and after party give
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a little peak behind the creative curtain or some other
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: kind of context about the episode of that subject. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to skip that this week so that we
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: can spend more time talking to each other and so
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I can cover more of your voicemails and more of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: your texts. I've been asking a lot of questions. You
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: guys been calling in, You've been texting, you've been answering me,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you've been dming me setting in those answers, and quite honestly,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm going to do. There's so
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: much incoming and so little space to respond. And I'm
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: very grateful. I have a lot of gratitude for this
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: conversation that we have going on. I got to figure
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: out a way to engage further. It's hard to get
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: through all the voicemails, all the texts. I try. I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: try to respond. I try my best. I am not complaining.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Don't take this as a bitch. It's not. But in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: this episode here of the after party, because we didn't
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: have an after party last week, is of the fourth
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of July holiday week, I'm gonna spend more time answering
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you guys. Okay, so let's let's party, right shall we.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Billboard magazine. Fucking Billboard magazine. As I've mentioned this week
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: on social media and in our mini episodes, it's got
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: this list. You guys know about this, the top fifty
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: rap groups of all time. And I think, well, I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: think their top five is all out of whack. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: asked you guys, what your top five rap groups are,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: your top ten rap groups, your favorite hip hop groups
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of all time, your faves. Here's what you had to say.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I just want to hit on this. It's a little bit.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: We're almost through with this subject here, let's check in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: with what the nine O.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Nine I had to say, Hey, Jay, Elli er Daz here.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So I think the number one rap group of all
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: time is Lutank Clent And I'm probably being biased because
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I grew up listening to them, but they were literally
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: what saved my life in like a.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Ton of ways, and I gotta say they are original,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: raw and only survive on the dream that they had.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Ellie, thank you for the voicemail. I totally get the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: love for Wu Tang as the number one rap group
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of all time. Not my choice. I go with NWA,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: but I can see Wu Tang over Billboard's choice of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Outcasts and bonus points to WU for saving your life.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you're around, Ellie. Thank you for the call.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: More on the subject here. The greatest rap group of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: all time? Like I said on social and the Instagram page,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm also on threads right now. I know, like the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: whole fucking world is all of a sudden, It's one
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: more app we gotta deal with. So if you're there,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I'm there, and I'm talking about this over there, just
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: like I am everywhere. Kind of pissed about the Billboard list,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: but whatever, I'll get over it. Lots of awesome hip
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: hop content coming our way. We've got the fifteenth anniversary
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of hip hop coming up. We're gonna have an announcement
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of our own regarding the big celebration soon, so keep
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: an ear out for that this week. In the week off,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: we got a ton of incoming voicemails and texts. On
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the last episode of Disgraceland on Arrowsmith, our last full episode,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: some of your reactions, your reactions on meeting the band.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I also asked you, guys, have you met any of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: your heroes? What was that experience like your musical heroes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: This is all in reference to the anecdote I told
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you about meeting us or kind of meeting or not
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: really meeting Steven Tyler as a little kid. So let's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: start out this voicemail from the four h six.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: My name is Jeff. I'm leaving a message about hating Arrowsmith.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: I was actually a fan club member and could get
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: good seats. I lived in Montana and we traveled all
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: the way to the Columbia, George and they cambled because
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: it was too cold. That really set me off with
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: the whole thing. I quit the membership and the hell
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: with them.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: That is a tough hang, my man. You drive miles
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: upon miles to see your favorite band and then they
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: bail because it's too cold. I'm gonna add insult to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: injury here and just let you know. They're from fucking
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire and New England, some of these guys, so
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: no strangers to the cold. I don't know how cold
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: it was, but you got a right to be upset. Okay.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: As in reference to my specific feelings toward Aerosmith and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: their music, the eight five six called in with their oad.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Take hey, Jake Mark from New Jersey. I was just
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: listening to the Aerosmith after party. I share your feelings
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: about Ariostifton was my first concert at a young age,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: and I am love hate with that things.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: So eight five six the reason for my love hate
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: relationship with Aerosmith. You know, to me, it's all about
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the music. I say that, but obviously you heard the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: story told in the last after party about being a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: little kid and running into them backstage and whatever, whatever, whatever.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I don't want to beliebor that. But I don't know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: like when I think about, oh God, Aerosmith, they annoy
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the shit at mean, I don't think of that moment
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: at all. If anything, they were made Tom Hamilton made
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the band cooler my estimation during that incident. So it's
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: just the music. It's like, on one hand, you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: it's not like the Rolling Stones. Like the Rolling Stones
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: had obviously like the sixties, the seventies, and then there's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a huge dip in the eighties. They weren't really that active,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and then the nineties. You know, it's like the emotional
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: rescue stuff, like that stuff I go back to now
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and I love it. I didn't like it at the time.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I love it now. Sorry I said emotional rescue. That's
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: someone I meant. I met Steel Wheels, then you got Arrowsmith, right,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and they peek in the seventies, and again the eighties
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they're not all that active. There's the run DMC thing,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and then they make the big comeback at the end
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of the eighties. I think that was like eighty eight,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: eighty nine. I could be wrong. It was eighty seven.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know run DMC things started it off, however,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and they've got there's some okay stuff Angel, then there's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: this stuff on Pump, which is pretty okay later, but
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: then there's that whole like Alicia Silverstone era Aerosmith. Nothing
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: against Alicia Silverstone, but god, that stuff is just awful
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: awful when they're cheesy, They're just so cheesy. I can't
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: get over it. It's the music, it's not the meeting them,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: all right, another one on the meeting Aerosmith thing. Let's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: get into the two five to six.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: Hey, Jake, here's a story about meeting your heroes. It's
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: a bit long. I'll try to make it as quick
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: as I can. I was playing acoustic percussion backing a
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: singer songwriter friend of mine at a Mexican restaurant outside
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: hunts By, Alabama, about eight years ago. We were in
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: the middle of our first set when a large group
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: entered and made their way to a small, semi private
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: area on the opposite side of the bar where we
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: were playing. A couple of minutes later, an instantly recognizable
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: rock legend walked in to join them. Gray Skullcap sunglasses,
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: black leather duster, and an orange beard reaching down past
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: his chest. That's right, the Reverend Billy S. Gibbons himself.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: My friend and I looked at each other, each of
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: us with our eyes as wide as they could get,
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: as it's really happening. We got our confirmation a few
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: minutes later. I'm not sure why, but he walks around
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: to our side of the bar, orders a glass of
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: red wine, and essentially chugs it. He did this three
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: to four times during dinner. My guess, being that we're
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: on the heart of the Bible belt, is that some
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: or all of the group he was with did not
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: approve of alcohol, and that he came to drink by
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: himself to keep from offending them. I say that because
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: he seemed to be a very respectful man. He spent
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: nearly our entire first break speaking with my friend and me.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: He complimented my percussion set up, and he shares some
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: wisdom with us that I pass along. Whenever I have
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: the chance, get rid of tower speakers. People are walking
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: around all day subjected to noise pollution assaulting their ears.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: Don't have the speakers at ear left, use wedge shaped
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: speakers on the floor to send the sound up and
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: out to draw the people in ignite the atmosphere. He
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: repeated that phrase several times, ignite the atmosphere. For ten
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: to twelve minutes we held court with rot Royalty. He
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: was very gracious with his time and seemed genuinely interested
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: in us. At one point, a nine or ten year
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: old kid walks up, smartphone in hand, undoubtedly sent over
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: by his boom or dad, to snap a pick of
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: the guy he probably had never heard of. Mister Gibbons
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: just sort of shewed the kid away, as if to say,
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: not now, kid. The adults, the musicians in the room
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: were talking. Mister Gibbons exited during our second set with
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: a nod and a subdued two finger wave with his
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: hand by his side as we played the Marshall Tucker bands.
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: Can't you see a subtle acknowledgment that, for one night,
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: a living rock and roll legend treated us not as posers,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: wanna bees or amateurs, but as peers rock a rolla all.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Right, all right, ritter, ritter, right, all right, cool story,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: cool story. Thank you for calling it and sharing that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Let's stay on on this topic here with this message
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: from the four to nine.
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: Hey, Jay Chris here, I was just calling on reference
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: to you, talking about musicians to let you down or
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: lifting you up. My very first concert was under Oh.
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: The drummer Aaron Gillizie came up to the side of
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: the stage. I was reaching my hand out and he said, hey, man,
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: I better see you in that pit. I know he
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: wasn't watching for me in the pit, but just the
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: fact that he had acknowledged me and spent the time
• 11:32
  Speaker 9: to talk to me for a quick second just sealed
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: the deal. I continue to listen and still listen to
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: this day.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: All Right, brother, have.
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: A good one.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: All Right, I love this. I love this. It's on Aerosmith,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: but I still love it. These little moments. Uh, when
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: we're kids, we're so impressionable, especially in the hardcore world,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the punk world. It's fantastic when you know the band's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: break down, that barrier between stage and crowd. They just
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: it means so much much. If you're a young kid
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: in a band and you've got an audience in here
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: for some reason, you know you're listening, you get a
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: chance to hear this, just know how you interact with
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: your fans, it means so so, so so much. You
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: probably already know that, especially if you're a hardcore band.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: It's part of it's part of the whole deal. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: love hearing this stuff from you guys. Keep it coming,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: all right. This next voicemail is from the three one too,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and it is epic.
• 12:23
  Speaker 10: Hi, man, love your podcast. I was just driving here
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: and you're asking about rockstar encounters. It's been lucky enough
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: to have a bunch of them. But one that really
• 12:34
  Speaker 10: stands out is I was a sponsor rep one tour
• 12:36
  Speaker 10: with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant in ninety five, I think,
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: and we were supposed to get a bunch of autographed
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: guitars done for a food bank that Page and Plant
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: wanted to support. So this was basically their idea, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: I worked it out with their people and set up
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: all the guitars to be signed at the Rosemont Horizon
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: in Chicago, and little paint sticks every five or six guitars,
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: just in case they ran out of paint. And as
• 13:03
  Speaker 10: Jimmy Page walked in with his assistant, apparently he had
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: forgotten about this arrangement and looked at me and called
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: me a fucking By Jimmy Page, I got called a
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: fucking which was awesome. And I got called there's dressing
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: him later that night and he apologize and it was cool,
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: and I said, Man, I got called au Ju Page,
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: you made my made my day.
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: So there you go.
• 13:27
  Speaker 10: There's one rock and rolling counter.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: Thanks man.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Wow, amazing story. And I gotta say, I love your
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: attitude about this. You know, I don't know how I
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: would feel if it were me. I'd like to think
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I would feel the same way way you feel. You've
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: got a great attitude. You're definitely positive about this. You
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: obviously get the humor in it. I like the Jimmy
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Page apologize to you. That's pretty awesome. Maybe he was
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: just having a bad day. People have bad days. Shouldn't
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: take it out on other people. Though, How to bleepb
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: out the C words? There's just three of them. That's
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a bit much even for this show, all right. From
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the let's end here from the seven to eight one.
• 14:07
  Speaker 11: Hey Jake, what up? Your boy is from Boston? Keep
• 14:10
  Speaker 11: up the great work. Here's a little story about the
• 14:13
  Speaker 11: time myself and my twin brother met Stephen Tyler on
• 14:16
  Speaker 11: a plane coming back to Chicago. We're leaving the airport,
• 14:21
  Speaker 11: we're getting on the plane, and I hear a familiar
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: voice coming from the cockpit. I look over and Steven
• 14:28
  Speaker 11: Tyler talking to the pilot. Tell my brother, Hey, that's
• 14:33
  Speaker 11: Stephen Tyler. In the meantime, as I always do, I
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: give the flight attendance some treats to show them my appreciation.
• 14:43
  Speaker 11: All of a sudden, Stephen goes, hey, what is that
• 14:46
  Speaker 11: would you do? I said, I gave some treats to
• 14:50
  Speaker 11: the flight attendants because I appreciate them. He says to me,
• 14:54
  Speaker 11: in all my years of traveling, why haven't I thought
• 14:57
  Speaker 11: of that? All of a sudden, my brother and him
• 14:59
  Speaker 11: sof talking about sobriety. My brother sober for five years,
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: Steven Tyler for fourteen years. They face some sober shit
• 15:06
  Speaker 11: to each other, They smile, they hug, and we go
• 15:11
  Speaker 11: on our way and then I say, hey, Steven, if
• 15:14
  Speaker 11: you guys want to hang out later, let me know.
• 15:17
  Speaker 11: Obviously we didn't hang out, but it was a cool
• 15:20
  Speaker 11: moment and I'll never forget it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Keep up the good works, rock and Roller, right on ish.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I love this story. I love this Stephen Tyler was cool.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I've been hard on him past couple of weeks and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: past couple of minutes. Actually, and it's it's cool to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: hear a positive story about the dude and hear the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: experience you and your brother had. So thanks for the voicemail.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. I want to close the book on this
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: other question we have going on on musical mashups, weird
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: weird ones, that is, weird musical collaborations, and I'm playing
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: this one more for myself than for everyone else. Let's
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: check out the five oh five.
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: Hey, you we're talking about weird mashups. I mean this
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: is well, yeah, it would be a weird mashup, but
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: it actually happened, and it's just weird because they're weird,
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: but it's a perfect matchup. It was a friend of
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: mine saw Tom Waits and Leon Redbone together in concert.
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: I wish I was there, but I missed it. You're
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: awesome later, Jake Niall in the five oh five.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, this one isn't all that weird. It's not,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: but it is a reminder to listen to Tom Waits. We
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: all need to be reminded to listen to Tom Waits
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: more often. Consider this a public service announcement from yours truly,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: prompted by the five oh five, All right. I told you, guys,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I was going to go deep on engagement. Apologize to
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: those of you who left messages and didn't yet get responses.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I can't have an episode. This is just a bunch
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: of voicemails that I play. I got to cut it somewhere.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: If I didn't respond here in the episode, I'm going
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to try to respond via text. And if you left
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: messages regarding bad Lands, those, of course are going to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: get answered in this week's wrap party. In the bad
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Lands feed, I'll probably go a little deeper there with engagement.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Let's do one more final voicemail and then we'll take
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a break.
• 17:11
  Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, this is Curts from Connecticut and quite thank
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: you man.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Everything you do is gold.
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: I'd really like to hear a little bit about yourself, man.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: What make sure who you are?
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: You do a lot on an amazing amount of artists,
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: but what makes you you? Man?
• 17:29
  Speaker 11: Let's hear about that.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Yo, curtis my man. Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: going to answer this question not out of narcissism, but
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: just in a in a moment, in a sincere, sincere
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: effort to connect with you guys. And I said earlier
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: that I have a lot of gratitude for this conversation
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that we're having, and I do, and that's that's how
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to approach this. What makes me I am?
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: What makes me me? I guess you know. To answer
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: your question, is you got to go back to young
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: me who was obsessed with all kinds of music. I'm
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: trying to answer this question, Curtis trying to answer your
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: question in the context of why we're all here because
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: of Disgraceland because of music. I was obsessed, obviously, particularly
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid. I was obsessed with aggressive music,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: going as far back as, like, you know, fourth grade
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and getting into a CDC and heavy metal for the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: first time. I was an angry little kid, and angry
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: music opened me up. It made me less angry in
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a weird way. It just you know, boys, as you
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: probably know, you are one, you were one. You have
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of aggression, get a lot of testosterone, you
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: get a lot of stuff swirling through. I have two
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: little boys myself. They go fucking crazy, they're lunatics regularly.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: They have to get this energy out. I did too,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and in angry music, aggressive music was what helped me
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: as a young kid and then the other thing I
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: had going on because my father's influence as a musician.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: He was in everything, and I saw firsthand that you
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: can be into everything. So when kids in my neighborhood
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: were just like siloing themselves off, I'm I'm a metal
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: head er, I'm a punk rocker, or I'm whatever, that
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: didn't truck with me at a young age. I knew
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: how I knew how ridiculous and limiting that was. My
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: dad had great taste, and he was, like I said,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: he was into everything, and I emulated that even as
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: a young kid, even to my to the detriment of
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: my physical safety at times. Nowadays, I know it's gonna
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: sound weird, but for what I'm trying to grasp at,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: how it relates to your question, you know, what makes
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: me me and relative to disgraceland. What I'm trying to
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: grasp at these days creatively how to tell these stories
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and the best possible way that I can, what I'm
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: always doing is I'm reaching back into that bedroom that
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I grew up in, that I shared with my little
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: brother as a little teenager in and I'm trying to
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: entertain that version of me that kid, Not to say
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to entertain young kids with Disgraceland or with
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: what I'm making. I'm not, but I am trying to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: entertain the younger version of me. I wanted to know
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: everything I could about my heroes, the musicians that I loved.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And this was in an age, in an era that
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: was pre Internet, and it was particularly hard to find
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: information on artists that were not mainstream, and those tended
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to be as well. As I got older, those tended
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to be the artist that I was more interested in.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: So I poured through Rolling Stone, Spin, Maximum Rock and Rolls,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Suburban Voice, Anti Matter. I just always wanted to learn,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to learn more, to listen and learn, to listen and learn,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and beyond that, to be entertained. And you know, life
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: in a little Massachusetts milltown was fucking boring, super boring,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: like paint drying on the walls, boring. I always had
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the sense that there was this fucking annoying sense that
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: there was always something better happening somewhere else, and music
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: was an escape, first figuratively through the records I listened to,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and through the articles I read in the books I read,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and then when I started going into Worcester, into Boston
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and going to see shows. Then it was a literal escape.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: When I joined a band, it was an escape that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I could kind of control. And now it's still an
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: escape as a you know, a middle aged dad, you know,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: trying to try to make a living doing something that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: interests him. It's still an escape. Music has always been
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: an escape, and I've never really, you know, articulated it
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: that way or thought about it that pointedly until now,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: until answering your question, Curtis, So thank you. I appreciate that.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I hope that answers. I hope that answers you. You know,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: let me know what you were, what makes you you man?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Write in, call me, text me whatever, let me know.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: All right. I think all all of this background though
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: that I just mentioned, I think all of it ends
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: up somewhere in Disgraceland. I hope it does anyways. Like
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I said, yeah, appreciate the question. And if you've got
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: specific questions about me, any of you, Kurt, anyone else,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: feel free to ask. Happy to get to know all
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: of you a little better. Six one seven nine oh
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: six six six three eight. I'll be back after this
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: break with your texts, all right, you know, on the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: subject to getting to know each other better, like we
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: were just talking about. I was thinking about this even
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: before Curtis left that voicemail. I was thinking about this
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: over the weekend while watching the TV show The Bear.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Are you guys watching? The show? Show is fucking incredible?
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I talked about it before season one, but season two
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is strong. Anyways, There's this episode about hospitality and about
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: serving people. And I know a lot of you probably
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: work or have worked in hospitality. I did when I
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: was a kid, but I never did it. I never
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: did it as an adult. I had other versions of
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: jobs like that when I got to be a young adult.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: But there's this great episode on hospitality and serving people,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and it got me thinking, you know, serving specifically, you
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: know in the television show, it's about serving fans of
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the specific restaurant, and it just, you know, just hit me.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Not that I didn't know this or I haven't I
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: haven't done this before or experienced this on both ends before,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: but just how awesome it can be to make people happy,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: especially people that you don't know, but who you know
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: admire you and appreciate what you create, and when you
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: can surprise them, when you can reward them the joy
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: that it can bring them. I know that for me
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: as a fan, when someone, when an artist that I admire,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: takes the time to engage with me, it is special
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and it still happens to this day. And Disgraceland has
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: done that for me. It's opened up these conversations with
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: literal like musical heroes of my icons, like people I
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: never in a million years would would have dreamt of
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: meeting or talking to. And I've had a version of
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: this experience as a fan going back all the way
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: back to when I was a little kid. I've talked
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: about this before, and you know, I joke about the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Arrowsmith thing we talked about, we talked about, but I've
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: had I've had great experiences too where I've met dudes
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and bands who I looked up to who were just
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: so fucking cool to me. And it leaves a mark.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: And in this episode of The Bear, they really show that, uh,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: you know, and I'm more interested in this concept coming
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: from the other way, from creator to supporter or to fan. Okay,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: when I was playing in bands, it was very easy
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: to do this sort of thing. It's harder as a
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: podcaster though. We're so I'm so separated from you guys.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: You know, I send out I used to send out
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: posters and pins and shirts, and I still do that
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to some degree, and I always will. It's the DIY.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: But I'm trying to find something that's a bit more personal,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a bit more connected. And it's hard. I've found out
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: in watching this, you know, and watching this episode of
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: The Bear, I found out that I don't really know
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you guys. It's hard to make a personal connection with
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: you. You know, it's just you know, you know, we have
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: this this larger connection music. Broadly speaking, you're obsessed with
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: music like I am. That's what dis Graceland is really about. Sure,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it's about musicians getting way with murder and behaving very badly,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and it's about music, and it's about true crime. But
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: it's really about the details, the obsessive details, the edge
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: of your seat, storytelling that that music heads, music obsessives
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: like yourselves, like like me, that we geek out on.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I know this because I'm you, you are me. We
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: are the same. But I don't know you, not really,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: So how do we get to better know each other?
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Every week I come on here and I tell you, guys,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: what I'm into. I tell you what I'm listening to,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: what I'm reading, and what I'm watching. Some of you
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: guys text me, write me, dm me. You let me
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: know what you're what you're into. Mainly around television and film,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: we do a lot of that wrap party, but just
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: generally speaking, I don't know what you guys are into.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I've received some messages quite a bit about some personal
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: stuff that you guys are going through, and I'm always
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: happy to engage in that to the extent that I
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: can and to help out where I can. But I
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: just want to say I'm here to get to know
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you and whatever that means. However we open up this conversation,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure, but I'm just letting you know
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I'm here for dm me six one seven nine oh
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: six six six three eight, text me, send me a voicemail.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Just tell me about yourselves, what you're up to. Start with.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: You know what you're listening to or when you're listening
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: to music, when you engage with it, when you listen
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: to my show, how you engage with it? Whatever you know,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: anything like that, some band you're into, some album, some
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: artists we should cover. You're great with the artists. Suggestions
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: we're allowsy with them. We get a ton of them.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: But just hit me up. Give me the goods so
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that I can give you the goods. That's what I'm saying.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I guess, all right, the more I can understand you, guys,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the better I can provide you with content that you need.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: All right, doesn't have to be formal. Get at me,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: let me know what you're into musically, otherwise whatever, six
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: one seven nine oh six six six three eight. Now
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: for your texts. As I dive into the text, just
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: a quick note. The voicemails I kind of curate, I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: pick out. I try to answer them in some sort
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: of like order that makes sense. I find that answering
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the text is a better experience if I don't know
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: what the fuck I'm doing, so I just do them
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: in real time. So these are gonna be all over
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the place. All right, Here we go, all right? From
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the three six, Oh hey, Jake, it is Megan from
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the PNW. I don't know what that means. Pacific Northwest.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: That's what that means. I'm guessing.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Megan goes on to say nwas should have been number
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: one without hesitation. As for the T swift if factor
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I can only speak from my experience as someone who
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: has always found comfort in her lyrics. Hi fellow gen
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: x A still unpacking decades of chaos and music has
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: always been my safe space, lifeblood. All right, Megan, we
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: got a lot in common. Megan goes on to say here,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: as for Taylor Swift, not only do I find her
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: a masterful storyteller in the way she writes her lyrics,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: she's got a genuineness in her oft and rawness and
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: has relatable experiences to her main target audience. Took my
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: now twenty two year old to her first ever concert,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: which was the Red Tour, and it's been a fun
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: evolution watching them sort of both grow into themselves. Megan
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: goes hot to say, this is already long enough, but
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: since you're also a punk guy who probably does MxPx,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: grew up with them. Literally, if you've not listened to
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the one rockabilly album Mike Herrera did with a group
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: name tumble Down, I'd highly recommend you checking it out.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Please never stop what you're doing, looking forward to more
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: bonus episodes and hearing what's on your mind. Thanks Megan,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: that's a perfect text to kick this off. I appreciate it.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: We were talking. I was asking, I think in one
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: of the mini episodes, you know, I was talking about
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the Taylor Swift phenomenon, just asking what is it? What
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: is it that just pulls you in as a fan.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: And that's where that came from from Megan, and obviously
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: thematically she hit on a lot of other stuff here
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: that we've been doing discussing. So let's keep going the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: four h nine, says Hi Jake. It's the honesty that
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: connects with our hearts and keeps us listening. That goes
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: for you, Taylor Swift, King, George et cetera. You feel,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: we feel your true love for the genre, what you
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: do and what you are creating. We believe you. That's
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the hook that keeps on giving. Keep up the great work,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: big fan, Lisa A, Lisa, thank you. I appreciate that, Lisa.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: That means a lot. And you know, it's it's funny
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: as a creator, you don't often stop and go, God,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: what what's working? What's making this connection happen? You know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I tend to stop and ask it about other people,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and I don't often get to think about it in
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: terms of myself. So it's it's interesting to hear how
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you're contextualizing it. Guys, that's true. Text down roll. Let's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: keep going here with from the five four oh more
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: on this hip hop thing says Billboard is full of shit.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I agree with your list. With one edition, two Leve
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Crew pushed the limits and made a really good party
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: hooking up with the music deuces.
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Uh two Leve Crew two Love Crew did a lot.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: They did a lot. They're getting an episode at as
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Grace and sometimes you and I don't know if they
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: make it into my top five though, but when that
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: shit came out forget about it?
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: All right?
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: What else? All right? For the seven to one six Hey,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Jake and Crewe discos, et cetera. This last fourth of
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: July episode struck me nicely. Haven't usually listened to these
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: extra content episodes, but so engaging. I won't stop. Just
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: want to say, uh, phone on random in the car
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: immediately fortunate song came on. Loved it? Still appropriate today?
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Cheers all Jeremy from the seven to one to six piece.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Thanks Jeremy, It is still appropriate, isn't it? Fucking great song?
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: All right? I gotta read this one from Lindsay just
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: gonna close the book on this sex talk, Lindsay in
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the two eight one says, I literally have a sex time, sorry,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a sexy time playlist, and it's just about in order too.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: It's a collection of classic sexy alternative songs from the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: late nineties that's too sexyes in one text from the
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: late nineties, and sentimental ones from my eighteen year old
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: relationship with my husband. Try guessing which is which eighteen
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: year I don't understand that at last part, but congrats
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: on eighteen years and still keeping it fresh in the sack, Lindsey,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: all right, what do we got here? All Right, we
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: were talking. I guess I throw over the best five
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: MC's because that's what this list is. Jay Z, nas
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: L Cool J, Big L Andre three thousand from the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: seven eight one seven eight one I Gotta Do a
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Big L Episode five six one. Number one rap group
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: is the undisputed legendary hardworking Philly's own shore Shot the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Roots and the number one MC Black Thought. Shared the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: stage with Black Thought a couple of years ago. Uh
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: goes on to say thank you for asking. I'm a
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: fan and discovered the podcast on a madcap sleepless road
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: trip one night driving from Kentucky to West Palm Beach, Florida.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Love it beautiful down in West Palm Beach. Flow him,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: great text, Thank you all right. So we asked about
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: favorite Fourth of July songs. Born in the USA on
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the fourth of July. No, that is not a patriotic anthem.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: This is from the three oh three. I'm not a
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: big country music fan, but I'll take Lee Greenwood's God
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Bless the USA or Toby Keith the Angry American. Now
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: listen here three oh three. I hear you loud and clear.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: But America is not beyond criticism, and I'm not piling
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: on either. That's not what I'm saying. Born in the
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: USA is a is a song about about a specific
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: point of view from a specific character that you can
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, Springstey might tell you differently,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: but I think if you asked him, I don't even
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: if you told me something different, I probably call bullshit
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: on him. I don't think Springsteen meant that as a
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: anti American cry. I think it was more, you know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: like I said, from the point of view of one character.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: That's how he writes songs. And I think when Reagan
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: adopted it foolishly and without much thought. What was Springsteen
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: gonna do? But I hear your Fourth of July you
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: don't want to fuck with anything negative. I get that.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I get that three or three so you can have
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: your Lee Greenwood and I'll crank born in the USA.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: And you know I'm also one of the patriotic stuff
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: as well. It's not just it's not just all piss
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and vinegar. That's all all right, Let's say what do
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: we get here? From the seven eight one, my favorite
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Fourth of July song is American by the Descendants. I
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: don't know that I've ever heard that. I must have
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: a right. From the nine to two Oh says, maybe
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: being at punk keeps you from digging on Phil Linet
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: and the rest of the boys in Thin Lizzy. Maybe
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: you think the boys are soft? What the fuck are
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: you talking about? Nine to us say is maybe knowing
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Phil shot Heroin with Sid and Nancy and later formed
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: a band called the Greedies with the sex pistols won't
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: inspire you. I don't know what you're talking about. You
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: seem to have me confused with somebody who doesn't like
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Thin Lizzy. That is not me. I love Thin Lizzy. Okay, yeah,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Everyone listen to thin Lizzy. I'll take
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: thin Lizzy over the sex pistols. How's that? How's that?
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: And shooting heroin does not make you cool in my eyes?
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: You seem to have that mixed up in your head too.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Somehow is this text even to me? I don't even know?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: All right, what else we got? Uh, that's a lot.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of texts. I'm gonna jump here. Uh
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: six one seven nine oh six six six three eight
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: two text and a voicemail and I read them here,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: you know the drill. I'm gonna take a quick break.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: It's getting late, and when to come back. I'm gonna
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: read the recommendations part, all right, the recommendations part. This
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: is the recommendation's part, the part where we recommend the
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: things that need recommending. The recommendations part. What I've been
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: listening to so Billboard magazine, you know all about it. It
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: got out of my skin. But it's sent me on
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: this old school hip hop tip. I can't listening to
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: ninety stuff mainly played my five year old mister Bob
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Dobelin Aboud, Delda Funcky, Homo Sapien almost Safian excuse me
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: on the way to Baseball can today. He nearly shot
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: his pants laughing, and I you know, most of it
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: is because he just thinks the name Bob is the
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: funniest thing that he's ever heard. I have no idea
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: why he's a weird kid. Coincidentally, perhaps because the universe
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: is listening while Billboard is under my skin. Do the
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Right Thing is on my television, and it was the
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: other night, and I was an extra reminder to me
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: to cue up to Fight the Power video by Public Enemy. Great,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: great video. You all know the song, but check that
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: video out. I feel like it gets overlooked. There's a
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: story there too. What's the story behind that video? It's
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: so random. Somebody needs to write an oral history on
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: how that all went down. Or maybe someone could just
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: write me an email or call in or whatever. Let
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: me know if they know anything about the making of
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the Do the Right Thing video, because it is incredible. Yeah,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: lots of hip hop this week. Two hip hop oriented
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: playlist I've been listening to on Spotify that I want
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: to pass along to you guys, the Spotify generated I
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: love my nineties hip hop playlist as basic as it
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: is it's exactly what you'd expect, and it's fucking glorious.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: And you know, back on the Public Enemy tip, it
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: reminded me of the Spike Lee movie He Got Game
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: because of that that Public Enemy song. I've never seen
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: this movie, by the way, I've never seen He Got Game,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: but I heard this Public Enemy song before He Got Game. Right,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: that's the name of the song. The name of the song,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: the thing with Steven Stills, you know what I'm talking about.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: It's based on the Buffalo Springfield song. For what it's worth,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I can't stand that fucking song, but I love this version,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: this Public Enemy version of it, all right. Came on
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: in the mix. Music was great. Fucking song is great,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: and now I love it. My tastes are constantly changing.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. Check that song
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: out and let me know. The movie is good. If
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: you have seen it, I'm probably gonna watch it before
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: you get back to me. But I mean I'm intrigued now,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: all right. Another hip hop related playlist I've been digging
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: on is the hip Hop and R and B Jazz
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: covers playlist. That's it. That's what it's called. The hip
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Hop and R and b Jazz cover playlist on Spotify.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: It's not an official thing. Some user made it. Parts
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: of it are awesome. It's exactly what it sounds like.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: It's full jazz bands covering nineties hip hop songs. It's
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: almost all instrumental, no vocals, no samples. It's fucking great
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: and all this public enemy. You know, it sent me
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: back to the Last Poets. And if you guys don't
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: know the Last Poets, I encourage you to search out
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the Last Poets, specifically their self titled album from nineteen seventy.
