Speaker 1: the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland the after Bernie, Welcome to
1:20
Speaker 1: the Disgraceland Bonus episode, a little thing we like to

1:27
Speaker 1: the party after the party, the bridge to get you
1:29
Speaker 1: from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other, the
1:31

1:39
Speaker 1: Disgraceland community and what makes you all so awesome. We're
1:42

1:52
Speaker 1: as always, a whole lot of Rosie. All right, disc goes,
1:56
Speaker 1: Let's get.
1:57
Speaker 2: Into it, all right.
2:09
Speaker 1: We are here in the Disgraceland Bonus episode, in what
2:11
Speaker 1: we call the after party, the place where we discuss
2:15
Speaker 1: the music and the sometimes flawed and sometimes larger than
2:18
Speaker 1: life characters that need discussing. And I've been reflective lately,
2:23
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier at the top here, I recently
2:25
Speaker 1: moved had some a little more alone time on my hands,
2:29
Speaker 1: and I figured I would be having allowing me to
2:32
Speaker 1: just sort of, you know, while I'm moving and unpacking
2:35
Speaker 1: the stuff from the family, I'm thinking about what are
2:37
Speaker 1: we even doing here in this disgrace land that we've built.
2:42
Speaker 1: I put these bonus episodes together with the team to
2:45
Speaker 1: help with the team here at Double Elvis, and a
2:48
Speaker 1: lot of times I'm just caught up in the motion
2:50
Speaker 1: of doing it. I wanted to kind of pause on
2:52
Speaker 1: that this week and just sort of share my thinking
2:55
Speaker 1: with you guys. When I started Disgraceland, I did it
2:58
Speaker 1: in part to make the podcast that didn't yet exist
3:02
Speaker 1: but that I wanted to hear. And before Disgraceland, there
3:05
Speaker 1: was no music in true crime podcast. And what's grown
3:09
Speaker 1: out of Disgraceland is this community, you guys, the discos,
3:13
Speaker 1: and as we've grown together beyond music and true crime.
3:17
Speaker 1: It's not just about the piano player who got away
3:19
Speaker 1: with murdering his wife, or the hip hop star who
3:22
Speaker 1: got gunned down on Crenshaw or the horror core artists
3:25
Speaker 1: who aid his roommate. Now it's about you, and it's
3:28
Speaker 1: about me, and it's about the relationship that we have.
3:30
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about what I bring to this relationship.
3:33
Speaker 1: You got to do that every once in a while
3:34
Speaker 1: to keep things fresh. You guys know this, You guys
3:36
Speaker 1: who are married, you guys who were in long term
3:38
Speaker 1: relationships with other men and women and significant others, You
3:41
Speaker 1: got to know when to stop and just sort of
3:44
Speaker 1: do a little personal assessment. Okay, reflect. I've been thinking
3:49
Speaker 1: about what I like, I said, what I bring to
3:51
Speaker 1: this relationship, and I've been thinking about what you guys
3:53
Speaker 1: bring to this relationship as well. This engagement that we
3:56
Speaker 1: have in these bonus episodes, it's turned into this unexpect
4:00
Speaker 1: to gift for me. When I started doing the bonus episodes,
4:04
Speaker 1: I mean, quite honestly, it was a contractual obligation. That's
4:06
Speaker 1: how it started, as one of the deals that I
4:08
Speaker 1: had earlier in the in the lifespan here of Disgraceland.
4:12
Speaker 1: And I didn't like just, you know, hacking up this
4:14
Speaker 1: bonus episode and packaging it up and sending it out
4:17
Speaker 1: to you guys. I thought there'd be a new, a
4:19
Speaker 1: more interesting, more nuanced way to do things. So we
4:23
Speaker 1: we found a way to do this with some old
4:25
Speaker 1: school telephone wire, some rotary telephones, through voicemail and text
4:32
Speaker 1: and of course, the modern tools of social media, and
4:34
Speaker 1: now I had this other place for me to talk
4:37
Speaker 1: to you and for us to talk together once a
4:39
Speaker 1: week in a real and tangible way. And what's come
4:44
Speaker 1: of that, you know, beyond all that, what's what's more
4:46
Speaker 1: important is that you guys provoked me to think about
4:50
Speaker 1: music and to think about musicians that we cover in
4:53
Speaker 1: a different way, which is refreshing. It is totally refreshing,
4:57
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of gratitude for it. What
4:59
Speaker 1: I like to believe that I bring to the relationship
5:02
Speaker 1: is similar. It's a unique point of view on the
5:04
Speaker 1: musicians that we cover and the music that we love
5:07
Speaker 1: or the music that we are in love with learning
5:10
Speaker 1: about We are music lovers. All of us were obsessives.
5:14
Speaker 1: It's not enough to know that old dirty bastard had
5:17
Speaker 1: spent time in prison. We want to know and feel
5:20
Speaker 1: his state of mind in the moment while he experienced
5:22
Speaker 1: hard time. It's not enough to simply read on rollingstone
5:26
Speaker 1: dot com that ACDC was accused of inspiring a serial killer.
5:30
Speaker 1: We want to peek inside the state of mind to
5:32
Speaker 1: that serial killer and find out what he was doing
5:34
Speaker 1: when he was listening to a CDC it's not enough
5:37
Speaker 1: to be told by Billboard Magazine that Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska
5:41
Speaker 1: was inspired by real life gangsters from Philadelphia. We want
5:44
Speaker 1: to be sitting on a corner across the street in
5:46
Speaker 1: South Philly at that moment when they blew up the Chickenman,
5:48
Speaker 1: and when they blew up his house too. In the
5:51
Speaker 1: New York Post might interview me about Taylor Swift and
5:53
Speaker 1: her many stalkers, But you want to hear the lunacy
5:57
Speaker 1: and derangement that contributes to those stalkers scale walls and
6:00
Speaker 1: bypassing the security of the biggest pop star in the world,
6:03
Speaker 1: and to try to understand the reason behind all of that.
6:07
Speaker 1: These artists, they're all entertaining, but that's just the tip
6:11
Speaker 1: of the iceberg. That tip of the iceberg is all
6:14
Speaker 1: throughout the mainstream music press. It's easy to find in biopics,
6:19
Speaker 1: it's easy to find in biographies. But the things that
6:24
Speaker 1: these artists do, they're crimes. The things that happen to them,
6:27
Speaker 1: they're attackers, and the things that inspire them provide a
6:31
Speaker 1: whole other level of entertainment for us to explore here
6:35
Speaker 1: in Disgraceland, a new kind of storytelling that we can
6:38
Speaker 1: tap into edge of your seat storytelling spawned from music
6:41
Speaker 1: and true crime. And we've got a whole different but
6:43
Speaker 1: similar thing going on with bad Lands, which I'll address
6:46
Speaker 1: in our Rap Party Bonus episode. One of these weeks
6:49
Speaker 1: you get us subscribe to that over in the bad
6:50
Speaker 1: Lands Feed, But here in the Disgraceland Feed, this is
6:54
Speaker 1: the place for the true music obsessives, for the freaks,
6:57
Speaker 1: the geeks, the stoners, the burnouts, and the gearheads, and for,
7:01
Speaker 1: like I said, the obsessed. For those who want the
7:03
Speaker 1: story behind the story, That's what I've always wanted. For
7:07
Speaker 1: those who want to be transported into the story, That's
7:10
Speaker 1: what I've always wanted as well. For those long rides,
7:13
Speaker 1: those lonely nights, those endless commutes, and those rare moments
7:17
Speaker 1: of you time when it's just you and your headphones,
7:20
Speaker 1: you're walking the dog, you're doing the dishes. Who the
7:24
Speaker 1: fuck knows what you're doing. It's you time. You can
7:26
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. You have great taste. You drive
7:29
Speaker 1: the conversation here as much as I do. Try doing
7:32
Speaker 1: that at Rolling Stone or at Billboard, or at Pitchfork
7:35
Speaker 1: or anywhere else. Of consequence, they aren't going to listen
7:38
Speaker 1: to you. They have their own agenda, they have publicists
7:41
Speaker 1: to answer to, they have records to sell. Here we're
7:45
Speaker 1: behind the board together, mixing our own music, and we
7:47
Speaker 1: do it Old school and new school Telephone six one
7:51
Speaker 1: seven nine oh six six six three eight, voicemail and
7:54
Speaker 1: New school six one seven nine oh six six six

8:00
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com on email. I can't wait to
8:03
Speaker 1: hear from you guys this week on all things music
8:05
Speaker 1: and true crime. I'm gonna be back in two seconds
8:07
Speaker 1: right after this break with your voicemails, your texts, and
8:10
Speaker 1: your dms. All right, we're back in real quick. Before
8:36
Speaker 1: we get into your voicemails, text and dms, I want
8:38
Speaker 1: to illustrate what I was talking about in the earlier block.
8:41
Speaker 1: So here are some recent headlines from the major music
8:44
Speaker 1: sites right now. From Billboard dot com, this is an
8:47
Speaker 1: actual headline. Jason Moras's Motown Nightjive brings season best scores
8:51
Speaker 1: on Dancing with the Stars. Also from Billboard dot com.
8:54
Speaker 1: Bts Young Cook shares golden concept photo ahead of album release.
9:00
Speaker 1: Rollingstone dot com Tizo Touchdown is the future of rap rock,
9:04
Speaker 1: and one more from Rollingstone dot Com. From kindles to
9:07
Speaker 1: Crest White Strips, these are the best October Prime deals
9:10
Speaker 1: worth shopping? Now, are you fucking kidding me? Does any
9:13
Speaker 1: of this interest you? No? Of course it doesn't, because,
9:16
Speaker 1: like me, you aren't interested in dancing with the stars,
9:18
Speaker 1: k rock, rap rock, or giving a flying fuck about
9:21
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone's take on Crest White Strips. And why would you?
9:25
Speaker 1: This is a best asinine clickbait about music that doesn't
9:28
Speaker 1: interest you, or at worst advertising disguised as music content.
9:32
Speaker 1: Here's what you care about. Josh from the eight oh
9:35
Speaker 1: one on the question of how we discovered music before
9:37
Speaker 1: the Internet.
9:38
Speaker 3: Hey Jake, this is Josh from the eight oh one
9:41
Speaker 3: calling about how we found music before the Internet. For me,
9:46
Speaker 3: it was skateboarding videos. You could hear anything from Johnny
9:50
Speaker 3: Thunders to GZ in the same video, so you got
9:53
Speaker 3: a good mix of everything.
9:54
Speaker 4: And then it was a nineties kid So the Internet came.
9:57
Speaker 3: Out shortly after that, But yeah, skateboarding the magazines were
10:01
Speaker 3: mostly how I found music. Thanks love the show by.
10:04
Speaker 1: Right on, Josh. I was never a skater myself, but
10:08
Speaker 1: most every kid I hung out with was a skater.
10:11
Speaker 1: So I know exactly what you're talking about. Skate videos
10:13
Speaker 1: from the eighties and nineties nineties, especially Treasure Chors of
10:16
Speaker 1: great Music and Dogtown and z Boys, the sort of
10:20
Speaker 1: higher end skate documentary, great documentary, one of the greatest
10:23
Speaker 1: documentary I've ever seen. Champagne narrates it it really I
10:28
Speaker 1: know it's not a skate video, but it really drives
10:31
Speaker 1: your point home. With the soundtrack for that film, it's
10:34
Speaker 1: an incredible mix, as you probably know here, Josh. It's
10:36
Speaker 1: an incredible mix of early metal, classic rock, pre punk
10:39
Speaker 1: stuff that you would have heard during the time of
10:42
Speaker 1: skateboarding's origins, which is what Dogtown Sea Boys is all about.
10:46
Speaker 1: All right, let's check out with Chris from the five
10:47
Speaker 1: seven three on how he got into music.
10:51
Speaker 4: Hey, everybody, this is Chris from the five to seven
10:54
Speaker 4: to three. I was going to comment on your request
10:58
Speaker 4: to talk about musical I had a summer where the
11:03
Speaker 4: parents had gotten divorced and I did proverbial stay at
11:06
Speaker 4: the grandparents for the summer Newtown. I think I was
11:09
Speaker 4: about a third grader and I meet a kid named
11:13
Speaker 4: jesse Lee, and the first thing jesse Lee did was
11:16
Speaker 4: hand me a TDK to set tape that it said
11:20
Speaker 4: these three words guns and roses. You know, prior to that,
11:25
Speaker 4: I was probably on a path towards marching band with
11:28
Speaker 4: my little saxophone and it was Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.
11:32
Speaker 4: I just didn't have any other experiences. No Jesse Lee's
11:38
Speaker 4: were in my world prior to that. But I listened
11:40
Speaker 4: to that tape, shut her off and said, I don't
11:43
Speaker 4: know what those guys are talking about, but I want
11:45
Speaker 4: to be like them. Also, I was going to see
11:48
Speaker 4: if you had ever heard the theory that Garth Brooks
11:51
Speaker 4: is a serial killer. There's a lineage, not a lineage,
11:56
Speaker 4: but there's a comparison to murders in each of the
11:59
Speaker 4: cities he's played. At every city he goes to, there's
12:02
Speaker 4: been a murder or there's an alarming amount of coincidences
12:06
Speaker 4: that there's murders in each town that Garth Brooks has played.
12:10
Speaker 4: And so I think it was Burt Kreischer that connected
12:13
Speaker 4: the two details, and he's been saying that Garth Brooks
12:18
Speaker 4: is a serial killer. That might make a good April
12:21
Speaker 4: fool Day episode possibly, But anyway, you guys keep doing
12:24
Speaker 4: what you're doing. Thank you for everything.
12:25
Speaker 1: Cheers, Chris jesse Lee, You guy, jesse Lee sounds like
12:29
Speaker 1: a gen X delinquent kid that I would have known
12:32
Speaker 1: grown up as well. And I can relate to the
12:36
Speaker 1: summers at my grandmother's. That's why that Nirvana Grandma take
12:39
Speaker 1: me home. That hit fucking hard man. Anyways, I've never
12:43
Speaker 1: heard the Garth Brooks serial killer story, but hot damn, Chris,
12:46
Speaker 1: I am listening, all right. I'm loving the music discovery stories.
12:51
Speaker 1: Keep them coming. Let's check in with Patrick from the
12:54
Speaker 1: nine oh four. Out there eating up asphalt, working hard,
12:56
Speaker 1: deliver a beer for you guys in the great state
12:58
Speaker 1: of Florida.
13:00
Speaker 5: Isaac looks up its patricks, got men in sane ougously in.
13:02
Speaker 3: Florida driving a truck delivering beer.
13:05
Speaker 5: Loved the podcast you were talking about discovery music stories.
13:10
Speaker 5: I got one for you. I was a kid and
13:13
Speaker 5: I was exploring this building that had been in construction
13:16
Speaker 5: and abandoned, walking around, checking it out, you know, and
13:21
Speaker 5: inside this little hole in the wall, I saw a
13:25
Speaker 5: backpack and whatnot and thought someone was in there. Said hello,
13:28
Speaker 5: got no response, went in, checked it out. Looked like
13:32
Speaker 5: the stuff belonged to like a traveling kid. It was
13:35
Speaker 5: a backpack, guitar from cardboards with markers and a CD case.
13:41
Speaker 5: I was a little kid, so I decided, let me
13:43
Speaker 5: look through this CD case see what I can find.
13:47
Speaker 5: Kid obviously took some stuff with him on the road
13:49
Speaker 5: to listen to. But I found the Funkadelic Cosmic Flop
13:54
Speaker 5: album well CDs and it looked cool. I never heard
13:59
Speaker 5: of it before, so I stay at home. Don't know
14:02
Speaker 5: if you can say this on the pod. I got
14:03
Speaker 5: a little stone listen to it and it blew my mind.
14:07
Speaker 5: And to this day I am a huge Funkadelic fan
14:10
Speaker 5: and cannot hear them without thinking of that story. So anyways,
14:15
Speaker 5: love the show, brother, keep up what you're doing. I
14:18
Speaker 5: listen to you while I'm driving around doing my saying Gee.
14:21
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. Patrick. Dude, the beginning of your
14:23
Speaker 1: of your story sounds like the opening scene of a
14:26
Speaker 1: horror movie. What a wild and daring way to discover
14:32
Speaker 1: none other than Funkadelic Cosmic Slop. Yes, incredible album, and
14:37
Speaker 1: yes and even more incredible album when you're stoned. At
14:40
Speaker 1: some point, dude, we're going to do an episode on Funkadelic.
14:42
Speaker 1: Thanks for this, Patrick, and thanks for working herd out there.
14:45
Speaker 1: All right, let's switch topics and hear from Ian maybe
14:48
Speaker 1: up in Canada on top five Halloween songs.
14:53
Speaker 6: He hey, Jake, this is Ian maybe several five fuck
14:56
Speaker 6: from Canada. I'd have to give you my top five
15:01
Speaker 6: Halloween sells, in no particular order. Got Belle Lugosi's Dead,
15:07
Speaker 6: Ministry every day it is Halloween. That's got to be
15:10
Speaker 6: Man Love and Rock, It's Haunted, Swish Blade, Symphony, Witches,
15:16
Speaker 6: type of negative black number one, And if I had
15:19
Speaker 6: to give an honorable mention, it would be Uncle Acid
15:22
Speaker 6: and the Dead Beats. I'll cut you down, all right,
15:25
Speaker 6: rock and roller.
15:26
Speaker 1: Fucking great list, and none of which would have been
15:31
Speaker 1: on my list but will be now. Great titles, especially
15:34
Speaker 1: Bella Lugosi's Dead. If you're interested in Quentin Tarantino's latest book,
15:38
Speaker 1: centem A Speculation, It's got a great insert on the
15:41
Speaker 1: death of Bella Lugosi. It's absolutely fascinating and worth checking
15:45
Speaker 1: out for that alone. But the whole freaking book is incredible,
15:47
Speaker 1: as you would imagine. There will be a bad Lands
15:50
Speaker 1: episode on Bella Lagosi at some point. All right, so
15:53
Speaker 1: let's recap just real quick. Some of the artists, you
15:55
Speaker 1: guys brought up already on these calls and text Johnny
15:57
Speaker 1: Thunder's guns N' Roses Bauhaus Funkadelic to the earlier point
16:02
Speaker 1: of why we are here in this feed right now together.
16:04
Speaker 1: It's not just to dig into edge of your seat
16:06
Speaker 1: storytelling about insane rock star behavior, but it's to talk
16:09
Speaker 1: about great music and the people who make it. And
16:12
Speaker 1: you guys have great taste, and I hate to break
16:13
Speaker 1: it to you, You're just not going to get Johnny
16:15
Speaker 1: Thunder's guns N' Roses Bajas Funkadelic. You're not going to
16:19
Speaker 1: get them on the pages of Rolling Stone right now
16:21
Speaker 1: or Billboard or really anywhere else with the level of
16:23
Speaker 1: context and perspective that we're dealing with here, You guys
16:27
Speaker 1: built the space, the space where we are unashamed to
16:30
Speaker 1: make classic rock great again, where we know in our
16:32
Speaker 1: bones that there isn't a hip hop artist on the
16:34
Speaker 1: charts right now who could ever hold the mic to
16:36
Speaker 1: any number of nineties or early Adds mcs. It's right here,
16:40
Speaker 1: right here, where metal, punk, dance music, hell even disco
16:44
Speaker 1: takes flight through wildly entertaining transgressive behavior. And it's here
16:48
Speaker 1: where the DIY can do hustle of hardcore music and
16:51
Speaker 1: blue collar blues country in soul, where it inspires us
16:55
Speaker 1: to always search for and unpack the most entertaining stories
16:58
Speaker 1: from music history, the same old textbook bullshit pedaled by
17:02
Speaker 1: the mainstream music press or the hackney biopics, entire biographies
17:06
Speaker 1: right here in Disgraceland, right here because of you, the
17:09
Speaker 1: Disgraceland community, the discos. This isn't a podcast. This is
17:13
Speaker 1: a revolt against shitty music, a call to arms against
17:17
Speaker 1: boring music history discos. Fire all of your guns at once,

18:29
Speaker 1: I agree with that favorite Halloween songs don't have to

18:35

20:19
Speaker 1: Seven seventy five Jane from the three oh six right saying, Hey, Jake,
20:23
Speaker 1: you asked about discovering music slash fants, et cetera. I
20:27
Speaker 1: was a kid when smash Mols released I'm a believer,
20:29
Speaker 1: and I had zero concept of what a cover song was.
20:32
Speaker 1: We were in the city with my dad, who usually
20:34
Speaker 1: only listened to talk radio. When the song came on
20:36
Speaker 1: the local station. We're absolutely blown away when dad, a
20:40
Speaker 1: child of the sixties, knew the words to this quote
20:43
Speaker 1: unquote cool new song. It opened the doors to the
20:45
Speaker 1: monkeys and beatles and all sorts of great music and
20:48
Speaker 1: still a favorite memory of my dad. From Jane. Awesome story, Jane,
20:54
Speaker 1: appreciate this, appreciate you should say, and a little bittersweet
21:00
Speaker 1: as a singer from smash Mouths just passed away a
21:01
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Great text. Let's check in with
21:05
Speaker 1: Sad from the four to two, who writes in, Hey, Jake.
21:09
Speaker 1: Thad from the four h two formerly from six to
21:11
Speaker 1: one to two, loved the series on Wu Tang. Worked
21:14
Speaker 1: at a mom and pop record store in the early
21:16
Speaker 1: nineties and sold a ton of Wu in associates. I'm
21:19
Speaker 1: fifty three and finally going to give them a listen.
21:21
Speaker 1: Couple of suggestions, Okay, three Black Flag Hawkwind or maybe
21:25
Speaker 1: Jesus Lizard saw Jesus listenor open for Rollins band on
21:28
Speaker 1: the Goat tour. Was never so scared for my life.
21:30
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work, rock a Rolla. I think
21:32
Speaker 1: I saw Jesus Lizard on that tour with Rollins in
21:36
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, Providence, Babyhead. I've seen Jesus Lizard like three times.
21:42
Speaker 1: I believe I saw them downstairs at the Middle East,
21:44
Speaker 1: and I think I saw them at the Paradise as well.
21:48
Speaker 1: Of course, my memory is very foggy and I could
21:50
Speaker 1: just be making this shit up. No, I'm not. Jesus
21:53
Speaker 1: Lizard is one of the greatest bands I've ever seen
21:55
Speaker 1: in my life, one of the greatest last shows I
21:57
Speaker 1: have ever ever ever seen. And Henry Rollins is doing
22:02
Speaker 1: a spoken word to her, and he's doing a gig
22:05
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes from my home, and I think I'm
22:07
Speaker 1: gonna go see him in a couple weeks, and I
22:08
Speaker 1: hope to meet the man. Been a fan forever. Also,
22:11
Speaker 1: there's a dude in my gym who wears a Rollins
22:13
Speaker 1: Van shirt, and I'm gonna introduce myself one of these days.
22:16
Speaker 1: I almost did it yesterday, but I didn't. I was like, eh,
22:19
Speaker 1: shirts inside out. It's kind of fucking weird. All right,
22:22
Speaker 1: Let's keep going here with the text the four one six,
22:24
Speaker 1: where its in hey have you done an episode about
22:26
Speaker 1: Ministry and Al Jorgensen and I respond with, Hey, no,
22:30
Speaker 1: I haven't, but I might at some point. I used
22:36
Speaker 1: to work in a moving company where the original drummer
22:38
Speaker 1: from Ministry worked. He worked there before I got there,
22:41
Speaker 1: like a couple of days before, and he was legend.
22:44
Speaker 1: And I don't know what the original drummer for Ministry's
22:48
Speaker 1: name was. I think at the time they even had
22:50
Speaker 1: a drum machine. So this could all be moving company
22:53
Speaker 1: myth for all I know. Anyone connected to Dan's Van
22:56
Speaker 1: in Somerville from back in the day, hit me up
22:57
Speaker 1: and let me know what I'm talking about. All right,
23:00
Speaker 1: Let's do another text here from the four two three,
23:05
Speaker 1: who writes in yo Jake Warner MC and Colorado here
23:09
Speaker 1: not really a band, but I'd love to hear a
23:11
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan album produced by Rick Rubin. I'll lot Johnny
23:14
Speaker 1: Cash's late career American albums. Dylan being backed by Fish
23:18
Speaker 1: would be a personal preference, but doubtful it would be
23:20
Speaker 1: any good. I love it. You're suggesting it, and you're
23:27
Speaker 1: doubtful it'll actually be any good. You're just there for
23:30
Speaker 1: the chaos of it all, which I can get with.
23:32
Speaker 1: You go want to say, speaking of Fish Farm Aide
23:34
Speaker 1: and backing Legends, did you know that after backing Neil
23:37
Speaker 1: Young for an absolutely scorching down by the River at
23:39
Speaker 1: Farm in nineteen ninety eight, Neil approached Fish to back
23:42
Speaker 1: them on tour, but the band declined. One can only
23:45
Speaker 1: imagine how cool that tour would have been. Thanks to
23:47
Speaker 1: all the great content and keep up the great work,
23:49
Speaker 1: Rock a ROLLA. I love the idea of Rick Rubin
23:53
Speaker 1: producing Bob Dylan. I don't think it'll ever happen, but
23:56
Speaker 1: stranger things have happened. Maybe will who knows. I fucking
23:59
Speaker 1: love it though for it, I can't believe I didn't
24:01
Speaker 1: think of that. That's like something I would think of
24:03
Speaker 1: but you did so. Cheers to you, four two three,
24:05
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Let's do this one from the four to
24:08
Speaker 1: four zero. Hey Jake Sean from Cleveland, Ohio, long time listener.
24:13
Speaker 1: My question for you is, I know you do Disgraceland,
24:16
Speaker 1: bad Lands twenty seven Club, but on the tracks dead
24:18
Speaker 1: and Gone and the research that goes into these subjects,
24:21
Speaker 1: what's the day like for Jake Brendan. Do you do
24:23
Speaker 1: all the recording in one day? Do you do one
24:25
Speaker 1: week of this show and next week focus on that show?
24:28
Speaker 1: Whatever and however you do it. It's working. I look
24:30
Speaker 1: forward to everything every week for a new episode and
24:33
Speaker 1: for the new seasonal shows as well. Lastly, I just
24:35
Speaker 1: wanted to say you're awesome with how you interact with
24:38
Speaker 1: the fans. A lot of podcast hosts won't do that,
24:40
Speaker 1: and you do and it's really cool. Take care man,
24:42
Speaker 1: You got a Sean answer your question, it's yes I
24:47
Speaker 1: do the research. Yes I do the writing, but I
24:51
Speaker 1: have a whole team here who does research and writing
24:53
Speaker 1: as well, and we pretty much divvy up the episodes.
24:56
Speaker 1: It depends. Used to be that used to be that
25:00
Speaker 1: I did everything, but that's not the case anymore. It's impossible,
25:02
Speaker 1: as you can probably imagine with all the content. But typically,
25:06
Speaker 1: and generally speaking, a week for me is either a
25:10
Speaker 1: research week or a writing week, and I alternate and
25:14
Speaker 1: I typically split my days generally speaking. Again, generally speaking,
25:18
Speaker 1: I split my days in half. The early morning. I'm
25:21
Speaker 1: a very early riser. In the first half of my
25:24
Speaker 1: day are dedicated to either researching or writing, and the
25:27
Speaker 1: second half of my day I'll typically take a break.
25:30
Speaker 1: I'll go work out, go to the gym, or go
25:32
Speaker 1: for a swim, and then I eat, and then the
25:35
Speaker 1: second half of my day is done. Is this stuff
25:39
Speaker 1: here talking into a microphone and doing that part of
25:41
Speaker 1: it or reviewing mixes, which I have such a great
25:46
Speaker 1: team here on the music and mix side that I
25:49
Speaker 1: barely even review the mixes anymore. Matt Bowden is sort
25:53
Speaker 1: of our mixar, and I have a lot of faith
25:55
Speaker 1: and trust in him to handle that. So that's a
25:59
Speaker 1: general speaking how I do things now. I've been moving
26:02
Speaker 1: for the last it seems like months, a few months here,
26:05
Speaker 1: so everything's been upset and disrupted. But I will say
26:09
Speaker 1: the team here at Double Elvis, Zeth Lundy, Seankhalin, Matt T. Hainey,
26:12
Speaker 1: Matt Bowden, Brady Sadler, Jammie Demas, Dennis Brennan, everybody involved,
26:17
Speaker 1: whoever I'm forgetting off the top of my head, chips
26:20
Speaker 1: in and helps with these episodes, touches them in one
26:24
Speaker 1: way or another and makes it possible for us to
26:26
Speaker 1: deliver so much goddamn content. And we have even more
26:30
Speaker 1: in store for you. And I just got off a
26:31
Speaker 1: call about an hour ago talking about a new idea
26:35
Speaker 1: that I think we're gonna try to bring to life
26:36
Speaker 1: next year as well. So I hope that answers your question, Sean.
26:40
Speaker 1: Let's do one last one here from the two one
26:43
Speaker 1: five it says, Hey, the season's hip hop episodes have
26:46
Speaker 1: been incredible. Can't wait for Liquid Swords and like an
26:49
Speaker 1: era bad Lands has been on point as well. I'm
26:52
Speaker 1: spreading the word to all in Philly that these podcasts
26:54
Speaker 1: are the ones to follow. I'm about to mellow out
26:56
Speaker 1: with some slow, funky West Coast vibes and Tupac Radical
26:59
Speaker 1: Truth on my lunch break. Keep up the good work,
27:02
Speaker 1: double Elvis. You got a two one five. Appreciate that.
27:06
Speaker 1: As you know, we're in the middle of this Wu
27:09
Speaker 1: Tang Clan serialized season ten episodes on the WU one
27:12
Speaker 1: each for each member, one episode for each member. We
27:16
Speaker 1: just delivered, just launched our Old Dirty Bastard episode that's
27:19
Speaker 1: in your feed right now. Odb was beloved. I can
27:23
Speaker 1: tell from the response I'm getting from you guys on
27:25
Speaker 1: social media. He was one of these incomparable artists and
27:29
Speaker 1: just a crazy true crime story connected to him as well.
27:33
Speaker 1: He's charged with attempted murder of an NYPD officer, chased
27:36
Speaker 1: down by rot Wiler's shop by men at ski masks,
27:39
Speaker 1: addicted to cocaine, arrested ten times in just a few
27:41
Speaker 1: months time, suffered through some harrowing experiences while doing time
27:46
Speaker 1: at a notorious prison. Of course, you can hear all
27:49
Speaker 1: about this in the brand new episode that I just
27:51
Speaker 1: mentioned that's available in your feeds. But you know, just
27:54
Speaker 1: while we're in the after party here, I want to
27:56
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about this gonzo thing that Odeb
28:00
Speaker 1: you perfected. And as we say in the episode, old
28:02
Speaker 1: Dirty Bastard was not Russell Jones. Old Dirty Bastard was
28:06
Speaker 1: a character, just like all the guys in Wu Tang
28:08
Speaker 1: are to some extent characters alter egos. Odib himself said,
28:13
Speaker 1: quote dirty is just the negative side of me, the
28:16
Speaker 1: pressure that builds up inside me. Then when somebody gets
28:19
Speaker 1: on my nerves, it's got to come out. Which that
28:22
Speaker 1: quote got me Jake Brennan thinking, here, what are some
28:26
Speaker 1: of the best alter egos in music history? Some of
28:29
Speaker 1: the best alter egos? Is it David Bowie as Ziggy Starts?
28:33

31:17
Speaker 1: dirty bastard certainly did it. Ellie Ordes writes in on Instagram.
31:21
Speaker 1: Hey Jake, I just heard your latest bonus episode and
31:23
Speaker 1: I got me thinking about my cosmic connections to music.
31:26
Speaker 1: Super long story short. When I was a teenager, I
31:29
Speaker 1: had this little yellow AMFM radio and I exclusively listened
31:32
Speaker 1: to a rock station called k Rock LA, and it
31:35
Speaker 1: changed the way I see music in general, because I
31:37
Speaker 1: was introduced to all these different bands that most of
31:39
Speaker 1: the kids I went to school with knew of already.
31:42
Speaker 1: But I was so sheltered in a racist as heck
31:45
Speaker 1: household where my grandfather would only ever let us listen
31:49
Speaker 1: to and watch anything and just Spanish. So finding my
31:52
Speaker 1: way into music enlightenment it was rather difficult, at least
31:55
Speaker 1: at first, but once I got to keep listening and
31:57
Speaker 1: in between listening to other stations too, I pretty much
32:00
Speaker 1: spanned my music selections as most people these days, I
32:03
Speaker 1: listened to a little bit of everything. And as for Spanish,
32:05
Speaker 1: It's absolutely within my heart and soul and I'll always
32:08
Speaker 1: flock to it from time to time. Great music discovery
32:11
Speaker 1: story there from Disco Ellie Ordez, Thank you so much.
32:15
Speaker 1: Let's check in with Michael lane Heath on Facebook real Quick,
32:20
Speaker 1: who writes in Hya Jake got hip to your Disgracelam
32:22
Speaker 1: podcast the other day, and I'm impressed by your noir
32:25
Speaker 1: delivery and awareness of culture facts, etc. And the melotron
32:29
Speaker 1: intros for what it's worth. A few yunks back, I
32:31
Speaker 1: did a collection of interviews with Lou Reed. You might
32:33
Speaker 1: have seen my week Beats. Your year paperback will be
32:37
Speaker 1: out soon. Nice to reach out, keep in touch and
32:39
Speaker 1: keep on keeping on. All the best from san fran MLH. Michael,
32:43
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you're gonna hear, I responded in the
32:46
Speaker 1: in the Disgraceland I'm sorry in the Facebook app. Thanks,
32:49
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I've heard of your book, by the way,
32:52
Speaker 1: your collection, I believe I even I even read some
32:56
Speaker 1: of it when I was researching Lou Reid. And as
32:58
Speaker 1: I mentioned in my message back to you, I did
32:59
Speaker 1: this whole double episode on lose origin story that's almost
33:03
Speaker 1: entirely fictionalized, but based on the facts that I think
33:06
Speaker 1: you're gonna dig. It's basically me copying Raymond Chandler in
33:10
