Eddie Vedder · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:32
It's deprogram. The podcast.
0:33
We will try to get you into an artist and sometimes we may have
0:38
been gargling glass. This is the third time since the
0:40
call started that I've said this about Randy.
0:43
But today, we're talking about Eddie Vedder and this man that
0:47
we will be talking about today has done this to your voice,
0:50
Randy. So I hate to go to your first,
0:53
but you're the one responsible here.
0:55
So as as best as you can, in your current condition, Eddie
1:00
Vedder talk to me about it. Obviously, this is a whole Pearl
1:07
Jam group that's going to be here and for people that have
1:09
heard my episode. So it's before I've I'm pretty
1:13
loud and I'm pretty, you know, I'm fat equipped stuff and today
1:17
is just not going to be that day because I've had to to Pearl Jam
1:21
shows that I've had to see him last week and I'm ready, for
1:23
four more, right? Yeah, this is me preparing for,
1:26
for more talking, on more podcasts.
1:29
So I wanted to pick Eddie solo stuff because I Like it's so
1:35
much more different than Pearl Jam and I didn't like at first,
1:38
it was just like an opportunity to say, well, let's do any
1:41
better and then when we talked about it on after the fact, last
1:44
time when we did met at work and fried it was like wait, Pearl
1:49
Jam has like non depressing music like yeah, a little bit.
1:54
But really when it's Ed's solo stuff, that's where he gets like
1:58
more most of his, like, the happiest music out.
2:01
Like, you know, the ukulele songs.
2:04
There's some Sad songs and ukulele songs too, but like he
2:08
takes a different approach when he's writing for himself and
2:11
when he's running for Pearl Jam, it seems like when he's writing
2:13
for Pearl Jam, its writing with a purpose and like, you know, he
2:16
goes a little bit more political a little bit more
2:20
socio-political, he gets into kind of deeper topics.
2:24
And yeah those topics can be a little bit.
2:27
You want to call them depressing a little bit more darker.
2:29
Sure. And I, you know, I'm not like
2:32
there aren't dark topic. With a solo stuff.
2:37
But mostly it's kept pretty light-hearted.
2:40
So, I wanted to kind of dig into that side of Eddie and show
2:45
that. And there are a lot of people
2:47
out there that seemed to, like his solo stuff, more than, than
2:50
Pearl Jam stuff, which is just very confusing to me, but it
2:53
nonetheless. It is very, very good.
2:55
So excited to somewhat talk about it today.
3:00
This is the shortest, Randy has ever gone.
3:02
Take notes fellas. So up, next this, so I could,
3:07
this could go two ways. We're going to go with John
3:09
because I believe Eddie came up on like, an after-the-fact or
3:13
something. So, John, Eddie Vedder, I mean,
3:15
I feel like it's semi self-explanatory, but why'd you
3:19
have to be here today for this? Yeah.
3:21
Um, it's Randy's, right? It is different than than what
3:28
Pearl Jam think. It, it does appeal to a little
3:32
bit of a different audience, you know.
3:34
Pearl Jam is more more of a there.
3:40
Are there. An established brand, right?
3:43
You know, BB you remember them from the 90s when they were the
3:45
biggest band in the world and they've kind of done a hard
3:51
thing, which is they've aged gracefully, which is very hard
3:54
to do in rock and roll. If you look at your your Rolling
3:58
Stones and some of the 80's and 90's bands that go around and
4:01
tour and try to recapture, you know, Sure, their youth Pearl
4:05
Jam has not done that. They've managed to kind of turn
4:08
into the Elder, Statesman that, that Eddie I think has always
4:12
wanted to be and I think his his solo stuff.
4:16
He really gets a chance to kind of wear his influences on his
4:20
sleeve, a little more and kind of be the the Springsteen, Tom
4:25
Petty, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, that he has that.
4:30
He's always wanted to be. And now that he's, you know,
4:33
going to be hitting 60 in a cup. Years.
4:35
He's, he's getting into that that category, so I think it's
4:41
going to be it's going to be different.
4:42
Like it's the music is definitely different, each album
4:46
kind of has its own distinct sound.
4:48
So I'm curious to see how it all plays out in, what kind of list.
4:52
We, we put together of all of the kind of conglomeration of
4:56
the different different sounds. He's come up with.
4:59
So up next I think in really didn't mention this but I do
5:03
think part of Of us doing this was because he wanted to do an
5:08
episode with you Brian and so Brandon, I am very true.
5:11
I'm Cloud. Nothings will come at some point
5:13
but yes, this is very true. So like I'm putting that out
5:17
there but also I feel like again, it's kind of we don't
5:23
have to explain kind of its kind of self-explanatory, but Eddie
5:28
Vedder, why are you here today, Brandon?
5:30
Damn it. I was recruited.
5:33
Yes, I got called. From the bullpen they said
5:36
Brandon we're talking 80. So you got to come on out and
5:40
say okay, stretched out and got warmed up and took my Peds.
5:48
I mean, my Gatorade. Yeah, that's it.
5:53
And came out. And I'm here.
5:55
I'm ready to I'm ready to play yet?
5:59
Orange, slices. Afterwards, for you.
6:01
Whoo. As long as I get one.
6:04
This, I believe, I believe it was a similar situation where
6:08
they kind of get already out. I mean, again, kind of
6:14
self-explanatory, but Eddie Vedder, why are you here to get
6:20
the starters? Going to do 7 here and I can
6:23
just be the eighth inning guy before the closer comes in to
6:26
throw smoke. If I'm the least important
6:29
person, here are the five and I just got to kind of lay out a
6:32
little bit so it's not as easy. Turns out short like that, I am
6:41
glad to participate. I think we'll be talking a lot
6:45
about, maybe not necessarily these songs like in a vacuum but
6:53
how they're kind of a window into Ed songwriting process and
7:01
like maybe what could and Couldn't be a Pearl Jam song or
7:06
maybe is both and like John touched on.
7:12
How each of these albums is really its own, totally unique
7:15
Vibe. And maybe we'll talk about how
7:20
some of these ideas are more complete than others.
7:26
So, I want to touch on something.
7:29
You said there Curtis like the the idea that because coming
7:33
into this, it's Eddie Her. So obviously I'm going to lean
7:37
Pearl Jam, you know, like that's going to be when you hit play,
7:41
that's going to be what not necessarily expect.
7:44
But so like that's what I'm trying to disprove and listen to
7:48
this, I guess. But in listening to it you
7:52
realize that there is plenty of songs that are gladly both.
7:59
Like they work perfectly as an Eddie Vedder song and if you add
8:04
a couple All different layers, they would work great as a Pearl
8:07
Jam song. So getting that in mind and
8:11
again, feel free to be brief. Randy put in your 20 together
8:15
for this. How hard was it just not?
8:20
I knew these front to back, I had to kind of go through some
8:24
of the flagged, a soundtrack stuff, because I really listened
8:26
to that much, and I had to go through the ukulele album once
8:31
or twice, and I really kind of had an idea.
8:34
They wanted to do there were some that I caught that I was
8:37
like, you know what, how's that was a little tough but in the
8:41
way that I kind of wanted some, some things to be evened out
8:44
because if I were to pick more than that on the other, it would
8:47
have felt a little bad for, for certain representation, so it
8:52
was not hard. I think the one thing that I
8:55
tried to keep in mind was less of.
8:59
I tried to think less of what could be a Pearl Jam song in
9:01
some aspects and more of like what defines just said?
9:04
She is a songwriter and Eddie is an artist himself.
9:07
Here we go. John, what were you thinking?
9:09
Putting your 20 together. Oh yeah.
9:12
It's it's it's a lot of the same stuff because I am really
9:17
familiar with, with all this, just from being kind of in the
9:21
universe for a little while. So I definitely had my
9:26
favorites. Like there are probably 10 or 12
9:28
the like, oh no brainer. Like, obviously that's a, that's
9:32
one of my one of my favorite songs that he does.
9:35
So then, that was just digging through the new one, which when
9:40
it first came out, Out. I really didn't give a lot of
9:43
listens to a catalyst to it a couple of times and kind of put
9:45
it aside. This is a matter of revisiting
9:48
that and and picking and choosing Brandon I'm willing to
9:56
this trying to play the game more because my previous
10:01
appearances, I'm not good at that aspect of this podcast.
10:06
So I went for Eddie's full-on sort of Pop angle here because
10:17
that's that's something that he brings to Pearl Jam.
10:19
Is he has a definite sort of Pop angle that he Which is the
10:24
bandwidth. And then with his solo stuff, he
10:29
doesn't have the rest of the band to to cut that with.
10:34
And so you get a very different side of what he brings to the
10:40
table without everybody else diluting him.
10:43
So I tried to get the most probably representative songs of
10:50
stuff that might sound good with the Of the band because I think
10:55
if you like Pearl Jam and you get into Eddie solo stuff, there
10:59
can be a lot of stuff that's kind of like and kind of make
11:04
you wince a little bit. But the the stuff that I'm kind
11:08
of looking at is the stuff that's more sort of universal.
11:11
I think in their appeal, there we go, Curtis On the this
11:20
playlist is a very easy. Listen, I think you can consume
11:27
all of this stuff like pretty easily and even like someone
11:32
who's real reticent to see that Pearl Jam sound Branch out into
11:39
some different ideas that Ed has here.
11:42
I don't think it's all that weird.
11:45
Weird as far as putting it together.
11:48
I mean I probably had 12 to 15 without even looking at it.
11:55
All right, could have I guess I wanted to kind of come in fresh
11:59
listen to it. All the two most recent albums
12:02
like our main it's half the stuff is recent covid covid era.
12:08
So it's maybe a little fresher but not as Deep in my mind or
12:16
like, a deep relationship with it.
12:18
So some of it, it's, you know, the fourth and fifth listens to
12:23
it that I've ever had, I think, ID did, okay, trying to offer
12:30
some variety but Yeah well we'll see that how this all kind of
12:37
plays out. So I I I try to do like a little
12:44
bit of a balancing act and then I realized as I was combing
12:48
through because I got 20, I poked 23 through after my first
12:52
listen. So there's only three cuts that
12:54
needed to be made and I found one album relatively easy to cut
13:00
from and that's those. That's where the This came from,
13:04
so I'm front-heavy. I'm back heavy if if you dig
13:09
what I'm saying? Yes.
13:12
All right. So let's figure this out,
13:16
because there's five of us. There's not a lot of music, so
13:20
it could be disaster, or it could be, it could be
13:24
deprogrammed history. How many do you think for the
13:27
final, say, Randy, I'm gonna do you think we'll get through
13:30
unanimously first? I just want to give a shout out.
13:33
Out to the song that was not on Spotify that maybe one of my
13:39
favorite Ed solo songs out there, it was on the Twin Peaks
13:43
soundtrack, and it's called out of sand.
13:45
And I'm very, very disappointed. Cannot make this list because
13:49
I'd be fighting for that for a top 10 because it's just a
13:52
terrific song with a lot of influence from John Lennon.
13:57
Going to go on a more optimistic side.
14:00
I'm going to say five Very interesting.
14:04
All right for just just easy, they're just kind of you draw to
14:08
them. They're easy ones.
14:10
Wildcard me though. All right John.
14:13
It's true. I'm gonna go eight.
14:15
I think this is good. I think there's going to be a
14:18
breeze. Okay.
14:20
Brandon Did we lose them? Numbers.
14:33
Brandon, he's crunching numbers, crunching numbers.
14:40
Really good deal with this whole group star ego crap.
14:43
Now, I'm leaving that in. I'm I'm going along with with
14:55
John. I think there's it's there's
14:58
some obvious ones and I think I'm think it's 77.
15:02
All right and Curtis I'm five people's a lot man.
15:10
I think for would be really, really good.
15:13
Yeah. All right, I'll be the ass.
15:15
I'll go, too. I mean, there's not very many
15:19
other numbers to take. Anyway guys that's true.
15:23
Okay. All right, so we're going to
15:24
take a quick pause and we're going to come back and we want
15:26
to play the game with Eddie Vetter songs.
15:30
You know, that's a local H song to.
15:31

16:16
Sorry, we totally should have included songs about Eddie
16:19
Vedder, play it. All right?
16:21
If I was any better, there's a couple more too.
16:24
Yeah. What that dog?
16:26
Yeah. Ben Lee has a new one too.
16:28
That's right. Listen to Because lazy but also
16:31
because with that, the name of the game is deprogrammed, the
16:36
five of us have come through Eddie vedder's solo discography
16:39
and plucked out 20 songs. They were now going to mash
16:41
together in an attempt to get a top tenth circuit for you, in
16:44
case you have never Into Eddie, vedder's solo work and I think
16:48
for me I've got a look at the order.
16:54
I'm going to go look man, I hate to be that guy.
16:59
The me of the group but track one album.
17:05
One is always a great town, whenever it set.
17:08
Well, I'm going to sit and forth.
17:12
Yes, yes yes. That's everybody.
17:17
Okay, yeah, I never got 5 on the D program.
17:21
That wasn't a championship Edition before.
17:25
This is this is new territory. So this is great because this is
17:32
a song where you listen to it and you're like, okay, this
17:34
could be Pearl Jam, but there is a subtle difference.
17:38
So it's like, if you add Pearl Jam to this, this works on that
17:41
level. Without it, it works on this
17:44
level, I like it, and, and a minute and a half, that's great.
17:50
It's great about all of those Into The Wild soundtrack songs.
17:53
He needed to get them to fit the actual the score because that's
17:59
what it was. So eight, I think there was a,
18:02
what was it Guided by Voices or something?
18:04
Like that, that he went and he really did a hard job in like
18:08
trying to get influenced by them to try to write shorter songs
18:12
and that's what that's what that album ended up being that movie
18:15
ended up being. That makes a whole Pearl.
18:18
Jam is actually been known to do.
18:20
Song ever since I think it was Matt Cameron, a few years ago
18:24
was like, hey guys, what about, what about a we do setting
18:27
forth. So they'll though, they've been
18:29
known to break it out from time to time, see and they believe
18:33
Eddie plays all the instruments on the Into The Wild soundtrack
18:37
to. So like he's got, he's playing
18:40
all the drums and everything like that too.
18:42
So it's nothing too complicated for some of the songs and, you
18:46
know, sometimes it's just him in the guitar and it really Lee
18:51
sort of captures what he's capable of both as a an asset
18:58
and as a as a detriment to to like it's like, well I can only
19:04
do this much. So that's that's that's my Peak
19:06
there. So I can't really go beyond it
19:10
too much. There we go.
19:16
Randy. Hey, go a controversial pick for
19:19
my first pick, you know. Justin, you probably had no idea
19:23
but there are a couple only Into The Wild soundtrack that are
19:28
covers and I don't really see this being coverage because Ed
19:32
made those pretty popular and famous.
19:34
However I'm taking a song that is technically not a cover, but
19:38
it wasn't released on Eddies album.
19:42
First is actually released as a Pearl Jam song first.
19:45
I'm taking because if you did a Pearl Jam one, this Get lost in
19:48
the shuffle. This is a very it's an awesome
19:51
song. It's a great song and it was
19:53
written by Eddie. Well before the riot act album
19:55
came out I'm taking can't keep Yes.
19:59
Hell yes. I got it.
20:03
I don't have it on mine. I do have it.
20:07
That's four. That on a five.
20:12
We know that on a five. A4 is really good.
20:18
All right, and John. All right, let's stick with with
20:24
into the wild about rise. Yes.
20:29
Yes, I do. I Bryce, no.
20:36
Justin and Curtis. All right Brandon, I'm going
20:43
with my favorite and possibly the best track on Earthling.
20:46
Try. Yes.
20:49
I got it. Yes.
20:55
Was that a? Yes?
20:57
From Curtis. No, for me.
21:00
Okay, so it's a for, it's a for. All right, let me scroll on
21:05
down. All right.
21:09
Curtis How about on into the wild, the wolf?
21:18
No, he everything off into the wild, so everything was a tough
21:21
cut. Yeah, I don't have any either.
21:24
Oh no. I because I don't need it in
21:31
this format. Oh my gosh, it's very
21:34
surprising. Come on.
21:37
There we go. I will say that this record was
21:43
hard to cut from really hard to cut.
21:45
Yeah. So, all right.
21:57
I don't have anything that's really jumping out of me here.
22:02
This could be anything, but so, how about guaranteed?
22:05
Yes. Yes, yep.
22:08
Yep. All right.
22:12
All right, Justin, the one that isn't like the Pearl Jam
22:16
Aficionado has has the unanimous for both of us picks.
22:23
When you're right, you're right, maybe it just makes sense.
22:26
You know. No emotional baggage.
22:30
They're just really pretty. All right, Randy.
22:47
Play one from earthlings. I think this is probably the
22:50
most powerful song off the Record written about Chris
22:53
Cornell brother the cloud. Yes I have it.
23:00
Yes, yes. Stop.
23:08
My phone is like, Quick, I'm just scrolling how dare you.
23:16
That's a nice little. I didn't know that it was.
23:19
About Chris? Yeah.
23:24
I really enjoyed Earthling a lot.
23:27
It is yeah. I didn't you already have 24
23:35
Earthling on your list, John had to say.
23:37
No, you really don't like it. I don't I don't have to tell you
23:40
the truth. Let's just get into it.
23:43
The dude poop produced. It is doing the next project and
23:49
in June and Andrew Watt and it's it's a little divisive.
23:58
So People's opinions on this album, maybe our up a little bit
24:03
colored by that, and I'm definitely included in that
24:06
group. I think what I liked about it
24:08
is, by the time I get to Earthling as I'm listening to
24:12
all the, all of them, I want something that is a clear step
24:15
away from Pearl Jam, and a lot of the songs are a clear step
24:18
away from Pearl Jam. So that's what I liked about it.
24:24
John. All right, let's go to ukulele
24:28
songs. How about satellite?
24:31
Yes, I have it. No me, neither.
24:38
Trish threes, good. Three good shit at this point to
24:44
might still be good. Randy, Jon and Brandon.
24:50
All right, Brandon Um, let's stay on ukulele songs and go
24:59
Longing To Belong. Yes, I do not have that one.
25:07
No, nope. All right, Curtis some kickoff.
25:23
Flag Day. Who else has my father's
25:25
daughter? You know, I considered it for a
25:29
while but knowing take it. That was now.
25:33
Yeah, that was absolutely one of my last Cuts I have it but I
25:37
wasn't sure. I was like, I don't know if it
25:41
counts because it's most, it's his daughters thinking, I would
25:46
say, I would say count spin, it's written by him and she does
25:50
the vocals. It's like, you know, stone stone
25:53
Gossard counts for Pearl Jam. So, she counts for Eddie the, I
25:58
maybe, I like the idea of this more than the We'll finish
26:02
product like the idea of like creating a piece of art with my
26:08
daughter and being able to put it in the world and is like,
26:12
that'd be like the coolest thing in the world.
26:14
So maybe in a vacuum, I don't know.
26:20
I'm glad we talked about it. I got to be honest, like the the
26:23
strength of the idea alone almost got it in my 20.
26:26
So I mean, you're not, you're not off base.
26:31
To continue talking about baseball.
26:33
Um, let me go somewhere in the middle here.
26:38
How about sleeping by myself? Yes, oh no, no, no, no.
26:43
I don't have it. No.
26:45
Okay, so pretty it is a Pearl Jam song, Justin.
26:49
It's not a very good Pearl Jam song.
26:56
Okay? It's it's yeah, Really, it might
27:01
as well not be all right? Randy, dudes.
27:05
We gotta go for a heavy hitter Society.
27:08
Yes. I got it.
27:13
Yep. Yeah, there we go.
27:17
It stops is one label too. Society 12345.
27:25
Where does that put us at our for or if we're on Curtis is for
27:31
I'm glad that I was wrong. Just go past.
27:38
I sure did. Society is one of the songs that
27:43
I mentioned before, that is wasn't right Maddie.
27:49
No, I'm heart. Son was Jerry Harmon.
27:51
Forget whose Society was There's a bunch of stuff on ukulele
27:58
songs to it's not my. All right, John I um, let's go
28:08
back to ukulele songs. True.
28:12
No, no, I don't have it. It's save you.
28:17
Wow. Okay, can't save you.
28:20
I will say this though, as I've mentioned before, like I like to
28:24
listen to the whole playlist before we go on and this came on
28:29
and I was like do I have this? No, I don't.
28:36
Glalie songs was hard for me. That and like a lot of other
28:43
tracks on that album. It's the idea of something that
28:46
I would probably like, but it's maybe not as fleshed out I think
28:51
what frustration me, if I would if I would have looked at the
28:54
name of the record before I started listening to the
28:56
playlist, I think that would have saved me a little because
29:01
it's all these ukulele songs, like the fuck is going on here.
29:08
Yeah, something else please. But I will say that that record
29:13
is that I like it way more now than I did 10 years ago and I
29:16
came out and that's not saying much book.
29:21
All right. So you're to was John.
29:26
All right, Brandon Randy mentioned it.
29:29
So let's go hard, son. Yes, I got it.
29:34
Yes. Hey, there we go.
29:36
Yeah, that's where we are. That was the closing track when
29:42
I saw him live. Yeah, it's pretty much as Yellow
29:46
Ledbetter we. Walked out of our wedding, my
29:52
wife. And I to this song, That just
29:57
left you're reading. You're like screw this man,
29:59
we're out of here. We're just walking into signing
30:06
has its hard-won. See a common-law.
30:09
Nothing for me mother. All right.
30:14
Curtis Let's keep going. Far behind solutely I got it.
30:26
Yep. Yep.
30:28
Yeah baby less sex. Nobody
30:48
All right. Back around to me, huh?
30:57
How about this rather be home? What was that rather be home.
31:05
That's a Flag Day owner. You know it's you know.
31:08
Okay. All right.
31:12
Took a shot with that one. I like Glen Hansard, as well.
31:21
That are me some points. All right, Randy.
31:30
It's mentioned that heart son is what he walked out of his
31:32
wedding, too. I'm going to mention a song that
31:36
was used as a passage in my wedding and that's without you.
31:40
I have it. I do not know.
31:46
Yes, that's a three, so I've still alive, but barely, we
31:53
don't, we don't have any uke songs in the top ten yet, so we
31:56
got to fight for at least one, two, three.
32:03
All right, John, all right. How about better days?
32:16
No, I don't have it. It's a too.
32:21
Not dead, but it might as well be at this point.
32:25
Yeah, we have 11 without the twos.
32:29
That's Randy and John. All right Brandon?
32:36
Fallout today? We're falling.
32:39
Do I have that? I got it.
32:44
No, no. All right.
32:49
Three is not bad. All right, Curtis Invincible.
33:02
Yes, I got it. I don't, I do that's for, that's
33:14
pretty strong for them. I never, I didn't like that one.
33:19
At first, I thought it was way too 80s.
33:22
Listen to him or like, you know what, be damned, it's on.
33:25
It's funny, is again talking about song like listening, right
33:28
before I added it right before, like I came up to Earthling.
33:33
I heard it. I was like, do I have this?
33:34
Oh no, I don't. Okay, let me find room.
33:37
You should have to pay a Peter Gabriel.
33:39
All the royalties for them. Yes, that's like it was a lot of
33:43
people royalties from that record.
33:45
Yeah. Yeah, the puddings father.
33:48
What it, I'll ask the weird Alex, but what's the terminology
33:53
they use? Where you would like, do a genre
33:56
in the style of an artist? I don't know that he and I are
33:59
parody. Yeah.
34:00
All right, I think that's pretty much what he would refer to it.
34:03
As I was listening to Liam Lynch before we went on to.
34:05
He does that to where it's like he parodies a style at much less
34:11
a or instead of a song. Yeah.
34:15
It weird I was doing Peter. Gabriel style post Genesis like
34:21
Style parody that be Invincible most of the Waffle King.
34:24
That's there you go on a lapel. Is it all right?
34:29
So where are we me. Yeah, okay.
34:35
I'll try this one. How about Broken Heart?
34:38
No, no, no. Okay.
34:44
All right. All right, moon cheese.
34:48
I want my phone. Open Fields.
34:50
Giving me all sorts of problems tonight.
34:54
Supposed to make things easier and wants to do whatever the
34:58
hell it wants to stop. Where is it?
35:05
Oh well, whatever we're skipping it.
35:07
They just announced the new iPhones if that's what you got.
35:10
And everybody says that iPhone start crapping out when they
35:12
announce new ones planned obsolescence that's
35:16
unfortunately true and mine is like an eight I think because
35:22
you know I think Yeah, I know, that's why I'm keeping my eight.
35:27
I like the eight and it's frustrating that it's starting
35:31
to crap out. I mean it's about time.
35:35
Yeah I guess. But so what is the new 117 or
35:38
something 14:46 14? All right, Randy.
35:48
I'm gonna have to apologize to Curtis for potentially taking
35:51
this before him. There's something just romantic
35:55
about, you know, falling in love with the baseball team from when
35:59
you're, you know, a child the young child and going out there
36:02
to games. And he's told many many times
36:04
about all of his cub stories, you know, Ernie Banks and José
36:07
cardenal and everybody that used to wrote for back in the 70s.
36:11
And then Ernie Banks told him, you should write a theme song
36:14
for the fucking Cubs and think of what's going through his
36:17
mind. When he That not only that but
36:20
that becomes an Anthem for them. And now since they won the World
36:23
Series, after all those years was 116 years or something like
36:27
that. You know, he's able to finally
36:29
just relax and never have to play the song again because but
36:34
however, I think the idea of is fantastic, I pick all the way.
36:39
Yes, of course. I don't have it.
36:42
I don't either, no. Okay, I'll do my little thing.
36:47
I've talked about this on pots before game.
36:49
Five of the 2016 World Series Eddie Vetter saying the seventh
36:53
inning stretch and it was my 35th birthday is like a moment
36:59
that was like created just for me and they played twice earlier
37:04
that year. Some people on this call for a
37:08
few shows too. And they play Pearl Jam, played
37:12
the song four times and I was lucky enough to see it three.
37:18
The, it romantic is the exact appropriate word.
37:24
Exactly, exactly. Randy after they won in game.
37:28
Seven after the Cubs won, they interviewed Ed and like,
37:35
whoever. I don't remember who interviewed
37:37
him but she had like a brilliant brilliant.
37:39
Question. It was, what would you say to
37:42
yourself as a kid for staying faithful to this team?
37:46
All those years? And this like really, really,
37:49
really made the song perfect? To me and he said, what would I
37:54
say to my younger saw? I'd say, you were right.
37:58
There we go. We go love letter to baseball a
38:02
lovely. Yeah, the Cubbies.
38:05
All right, John even though I hate the Cubs, Mets fan.
38:09
All right right now. Definitely the Cubs.
38:11
Oh yeah. Down by four in the bottom of
38:14
the eighth with the fuck. Yeah.
38:16
Why are we losing a lot in one of the series?
38:19
All that shit teams. Yep.
38:21
Sorry. Curtis.
38:21
But how you shit like 58 games this year?
38:28
We're giving you 59. Yeah.
38:31
All right John. All right I can't believe this.
38:34
One hasn't picked it up. No ceiling.
38:37
Yes. Well, now I feel bad because no,
38:42
I don't have any either. Wow.
38:45
Wow. See if we can find it.
38:48
Yeah, keep it live on three legs.
38:50
Hey 6. Yeah, let's see.
38:59
I think I got one two, three, four.
39:01
Yeah, I got 62 so Brandon Europe.
39:08
I'm going to be sentimental. In a completely different way
39:13
and go with say hi, no, no no, that's Eddie's best job of
39:25
creating a song. For a nice reason to the tune of
39:29
Norwegian Wood. Oh God.
39:32
And it fucked up and say hi when I see you like I come and say
39:39
hi. The first thing I thought when I
39:41
I heard that. Did you back him up on that one?
39:43
Curtis, I didn't pick it. No.
39:46
Okay. So it's a 10K.
39:48
All right, you're up. Another the a cider be side of
39:56
that. Same record matter of time,
40:00
you've learned how to play piano and write this song.
40:03
Yeah. Actually that was my one, John
40:06
to our one and only interview with Joe better.
40:09
When she said that. He she bought him a piano for
40:13
his 50th birthday and he just wanted, he didn't use it for
40:17
years. They just want their sat there.
40:20
Simulated. That's what I came up with.
40:23
Did you guys have this on? That story?
40:25
Is that true? Yeah, I'm she told us.
40:30
It's the first we've heard of it.
40:31
No. No.
40:32
Is it? I thought that was in our view
40:35
that we do with her? Maybe it was beforehand.
40:38
John. Do you remember that?
40:39
I don't remember. I thought it was in there but I
40:41
do have the song regardless I don't.
40:44
So do I don't have it either. It's got three.
40:47
It's got three. The three it's alive.
40:50
Okay. So, one, two, three, four, five.
40:56
At this point I feel like maybe we just dump out One two, unless
41:01
somebody has I got for life, so sure.
41:04
All right, I'll start at the top long nights.
41:08
No, no, yes. He's only two, All right.
41:20
Justin and John. All right next power of right?
41:27
No, no, good and evil. I have it.
41:40
I love this one. Wouldn't take it.
41:42
Okay, so no 33. Okay, scroll down.
41:49
Justin Curtis. Okay, mrs.
41:57
Mills. Yes, I have that.
42:03
No, nope. Okay, gotta take hers.
42:08
Yeah, I do. Cool.
42:10
Yells. Royalties to roller coaster for
42:12
that because he literally played on and last but not least I'll
42:17
be waiting. No, no, nope, okay, you're gonna
42:24
have us, we're going to have us a conversation here.
42:27
All right. Randy.
42:32
How many people have Rose of Jericho?
42:33
Come on. Yes, that's all.
42:37
Nope. Nope, to push.
42:41
Okay, end of the road. No, no, no.
42:49
I like that one, too. More than, you know, No, nope.
43:01
That's it. John I had goodbye.
43:09
No no and like today. I have that.
43:16
And I did take out of sand because I needed a 20th one and
43:19
I really like that one. See, I didn't want to get to the
43:24
point where it's like, well everybody ended up taking it
43:28
anyway, so that was a stir going because I would have fought for
43:33
it if it was more than two. All right, and I mean anything
43:41
you have here could still if you if you match with Curtis Brandon
43:44
could still be alive so whatever you got left.
43:49
Well, I have run that nobody else has either from the Every
43:53
Mother Counts. CD skipping.
43:56
I like that one but I didn't put it on there.
43:59
Yeah, wasn't my on Spotify. So I only had two other songs
44:07
Tender Mercies and drive for Flag Day.
44:11
Privacy REM song. Yeah that's excellent.
44:16
And I love REM song, but little little say me, say me.
44:19
But like that. I like a lot Tulum and I picked
44:32
this little, like, sound vignette that he just did on
44:35
this recent soundtrack cartography, a cool little one
44:39
too. It's pretty hard that I really
44:43
like the way I feel like I have to mention that Tulum is
44:46
basically the Genesis of what just breathe would become.
44:51
Makes perfect sense. I did not know that.
44:53
Yeah. Yeah.
44:54
We picked almost like we covered.
44:56
Almost every song, you know, a couple misses off of ukulele in
45:01
a few offer clean. But I think a Fokker, get that
45:08
one. And to that, to that point,
45:17
John. Nobody got the final say because
45:18
we got six. Wow.
45:21
So we got so close. We got some kids are seeing
45:24
everybody and we also have only three fours.
45:27
So yeah, so you automatically put in those forms, let me still
45:30
gotta argue. Yeah, let me do these fives.
45:33
We got setting forth, far behind hearts.
45:35
On society, guaranteed and brother.
45:38
The cloud. Those are in the three fours are
45:40
can't keep Invincible. Try.
45:44
Do we take all three of those and then just figure out what
45:47
number 10 is or starting at 3. He's I'd say can't keep and try.
45:52
Yes. Invincible.
45:54
Maybe needs to be part of a conversation and arguments.
45:58
Yeah, great. Can we agree that I think we're
46:00
probably at our limit of into the wild songs?
46:04
Notified on here. Oh, here's the thing.
46:07
I want to I specifically want to fight for one thing that's a
46:10
three and that's without you because a, you know, can't keep.
46:16
Yeah. It's from the ukulele sent songs
46:18
but it's also everybody's like well, The Pearl Jam's on without
46:21
you that that album is like definitively love songs or
46:26
heartbreak songs. And I think that without you is
46:29
the strongest love song, that's off that record.
46:31
So, I would like to, I would like to put in my I'm done with
46:35
that, I think. Yeah, I think without you would
46:37
be a good representation on the on the list there are that fight
46:41
for that one to do -, you know, it's I mean it's between me and
46:45
Curtis I you know, I've no problems unless Curtis is.
46:50
Like now we can't have that. Then the song in this like part
46:55
of rani's wedding. I'm going to fight against it
46:57
here. You jackass, you can just knock
47:05
me over with a feather. That was a latex patch.
47:09
It's a little, it's kind of like sparse.
47:12
And some of these songs are just, I'm not in love with them
47:15
because there may be, like, I get frustrated that their ideas
47:19
that aren't totally Style for life.
47:22
Just I got the lyrics pulled up this songs.
47:25
This song is hard like this is would be lyrically like right in
47:31
the Wheelhouse of Pearl Jam like his some of his better stuff.
47:35
So yeah. That let's let's add that if you
47:38
want to do, we're okay with can't keep and try as well.
47:40
Yeah, yeah yeah I'm gonna try that.
47:47
Alright, so now we just got to talk about number 10.
47:51
So being the only four remaining and Invincible should be at the
47:56
top of the list, but it does obviously doesn't have to be the
47:59
one on if there's a 3. Anybody would like to fight for
48:03
it? Now is the time thing, matter of
48:06
time, interesting really would would be a nice addition.
48:13
Think different then than everything else on the list.
48:16
If you're looking at it through the lens of light, Like what's a
48:21
good playlist and get a sense of what it can do this?
48:26
I mean, it's different than the other night that's for sure.
48:28
That's right. So we're Randy and Brandon where
48:32
they'll the holdouts on that? We were.
48:35
Um, I mean it's the only way listen to it a lot and you know
48:41
the only reason I didn't take it is because it's so unlike
48:45
anything and and that's a good reason to take it as well.
48:48
I just like you know, No is very gospel e and things like that,
48:51
and it's just not a style that he really worked with a lot.
48:55
And they were so much off of earthlings that were kind of
48:58
working out of his wheelhouse to, you know, one of the few
49:02
songs that didn't get taken for this for this list is his
49:06
picture and like that's way out of his wheelhouse doing what
49:10
dumb John. So you know what, like I Love
49:16
Invincible. I'd love to see it on the list
49:19
but That's okay if it doesn't happen, there would only be two.
49:25
Yeah, I guess there would only be two or three songs on here
49:27
right, brother, the cloud. And try.
49:30
You want to think about in Invincible instead of try No, I
49:35
like try. I feel like you need try in
49:37
there because the harmonic is just it's just that's a banger
49:41
man. Stevie Wonder.
49:46
And that's part of something that you can explain about
49:49
earthlings to is that they just had this like extremely explore
49:52
important cast of characters on their outside of like Chad Smith
49:55
and clean offer and and W I guess W important too.
50:02
To me to, like, round out, the 10, with something different,
50:06
kind of leads the pack where you at, with this, Brandon, which
50:11
song is it again matter of time. That's the the hymn playing
50:20
piano, right? Yeah, yeah.
50:22
You had say hi but we all went with the other one.
50:33
Yes. Forms a different sort of songs.
50:36
I think it would. Fit in there.
50:42
Well, with all this other stuff just because it's one of the
50:47
representation of what he's capable of by himself and
50:55
undiluted. All right, so let's do that then
51:00
and then we'll get a final run down here and then we'll crank
51:04
up the heat. All right so we got setting
51:06
forth far behind hard son Society guaranteed brother.
51:09
The cloud can't keep try. Without you and matter of time.
51:14
Now, Randy of those 10 which one is the one.
51:22
Oh, it's tough to have a real definitive answer on this.
51:26
It really is. You can go with like, what I
51:32
think, Ed solo stuff. The first thing that comes to my
51:34
head is that its acoustic? And it's very much, just add.
51:39
There's like no backing to it or anything like that.
51:42
So I think it's easily for me Society.
51:46
Okay. What do you think a job?
51:50
Setting forth. All right, Brandon.
51:56
Yeah, I think setting setting forth or hard son are probably.
52:03
My contenders for lead off. What do you think Curtis white
52:09
woman Society or my 1 and 1A is setting forth because of tone
52:26
setting. You know, it's the one that we
52:29
let off with and it's it's already a track one.
52:33
It's a minute 37. So it's impossible to get bored
52:37
like, it does exactly what you hope it does.
52:42
It's an it's enough Pearl Jam that you can go, okay, I can
52:46
ease into this and it's just enough Eddie Vedder that you can
52:49
go, okay, but it's not Pearl Jam and I'm also thinking of what's
52:54
going to actually get Fredo to listen.
52:57
If it's a minute and a half, oh, come on, it's a cop-out for
53:01
that, you know, you know, you know, it's a song that like Like
53:06
it's a song that leaves, you wanting more.
53:07
It's like, it's the one that that sets up everything else, an
53:13
amuse-bouche? Yeah, yeah, I'm still a little
53:20
bit because I just feel like that's a song that you just like
53:25
your you get up like a vision into editors thing editor and
53:31
add soul and like he really brings up that that A bit that
53:36
last verse coming in, you know, the solo is really cool too.
53:39
It's like, got a, like, a really nice campfire, e vibe to it.
53:42
And then the last part, you know, I don't want to sing it
53:45
because I obviously can't, but, like the whole line, I love that
53:49
line when less is more than how you Keepin score.
53:51
Like that's like the big point in the song.
53:53
It's just gets really exciting and the you can't do that.
53:57
Like it's it's just it's got like a different vibe to it.
54:02
It's very, you know, I almost like that.
54:05
It's It's not Pearl. Jam me and I kind of would
54:08
rather have a representation that is less Pearl Jam me than
54:11
more. Did you sing it?
54:13
Again, I really didn't get a feel for it.
54:17
What the fuck? I mean, look, I'm I'm with that
54:26
idea to Randy like the idea of, you know, don't you know, get
54:32
away from from a Pearl Jam sound for the song.
54:36
I'm with that too. I'm just saying my inclination
54:40
was setting for so See how you gonna hook them.
54:45
If it's, I think you have a better chance to sort of set the
54:51
tone with something that's a little bit more similar for what
54:55
people expect from solo, Eddie Vedder with, you know, a Setting
55:02
forth her hard son. And then, you know, it goes off
55:08
into the other stuff, you know, matter of time and you know, the
55:11
ukulele stuff where it's kind of like, oh okay, it's got some
55:14
different stuff in there. If you like, you get it, you get
55:17
it, he's immune to it yet. I have some sugar with that
55:20
medicine there. I think Society is more in, like
55:25
it's more closed in I think setting forth is way more open
55:29
and inviting and it Really kind of sores and and gets it would
55:35
get like a more. I think casual listener more
55:37
excited. Well, no, bring up this argument
55:40
here, because I think right in between the two of them is the
55:43
other one that has been mentioned in here.
55:45
That's hard, son. And I think that hard son
55:48
definitely doesn't really sound like a Pearl Jam song but
55:50
definitely is very definitive every veteran, definitely sores.
55:54
So I think I'd be more on for Howard son.
55:57
That I would be for setting forth that I get most of my
56:00
number two. Yeah.
56:01
I get that setting forth was like, you know that that brings
56:04
you into the whole thing. I get that it's the lead off of
56:07
the album and it really does its job.
56:08
I'm not arguing that at all. I just think that like again,
56:11
going back to it's like you want Eddie Vedder you want to hear
56:15
how Eddie Vedder sounds and not how, like, Eddie Vedder would
56:19
sound. I did not have, like, Pearl Jam
56:21
sounds but it's just Eddie, you know what I mean?
56:24
But let's not. Oh, I'm not taking anything away
56:27
from setting for, as I just think that harder hard, son, and
56:30
Society, I think are a little bit better.
56:31
Choices. If you're just saying, this is
56:33
the ID Better Sound. It's funny because sitting over
56:37
here, like the arguments until this point.
56:40
The arguments have been made for setting forth in society, but
56:43
like quietly underneath all that, every last one of you has
56:47
mentioned hard, son. So, I think I think that says
56:51
something about it. Like I said that was his closer
56:54
when I when I saw him. That was the one that like
56:56
brought the house down when I when L saw him touring on that
56:59
record and rightfully so the song is sick.
57:02
He sounds the whole thing on it. Yeah, it's bring the house down
57:07
type of shit. So I think for the end of it and
57:10
move it, so I think that that I think that's our one.
57:15
All right, let's do that. I'll phone white, white play
57:21
with me tonight. Kali and then you're playing the
57:28
wrong song Too. There we go.
57:32
All right, there we go. So that we've got our 10 hearts
57:37
on is our one setting forth, far behind Society, guaranteed
57:42
brother. The cloud.
57:43
Can't keep try without you and matter of time.
57:47
Let's let hearts on get its moment in the sun.
57:50
Randy, sing us out. See you alone.
58:06
Here we go. We have done it.
58:10
We've done it. Six, we got six through.
