Sunbeam Sound Machine · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:35
Try to get you into a band. That's right.
0:38
We've done all the work for you. All you have to do is push play
0:40
and listen in this week. Sunbeam is more than a loaf of
0:44
bread. Maybe I'm making that up.
0:47
I don't know if I am or not. But, um, listen, when you have
0:50
Aziz on the show, sometimes they bring you Aussie music.
0:53
You've never heard of today, we're talking about Sunbeam
0:56
sound machine. You reached out about this Josh.
1:01
Josh, actually, I think do I have this backwards?
1:05
Did Jamie? Put it on the board just you
1:07
reached out to me about, hey, we should do it.
1:11
Yeah bit of a joint effort. There we go.
1:15
Well yeah you put the name through so well I guess we'll
1:21
start. We'll see.
1:23
We'll start with Jamie then because you know a little role
1:26
reversal will put Jamie on blast first you put them up on the
1:31
board. Why did you why did you want to
1:32
talk about this band? Well, the just like he's a
1:36
really good chil-seong producer. Like, when you're listening to
1:41
his music, it kind of puts you in a good relaxed State.
1:47
Some of it, kind of opens I put you on edge but gives you that
1:52
kind of really deep brooding, feel to the songs, it's very
1:58
much my vibe. And yeah, the fact that He's
2:04
Australian. And from the same city I'm in is
2:08
kind of a bonus. So yeah, he's a melburnian.
2:11
So so Josh you reached out to me and said, hey I've got time
2:17
coming off, I think Jamie would be Keen to do Sunbeam sound
2:21
machine, I'm obviously that can't be the only reason you
2:25
want to do it. Maybe that's a reason why I
2:27
bought them up, but what is it you like about this artist?
2:32
Yeah, I was kind of like Jamie's alluding to.
2:34
I've always found it. The music's really immersive.
2:38
And while the The Melodies that Sunbeam sound machine have a
2:43
quite Poppy. The production is on, a lot of
2:46
the tracks is quite murky. And it, I don't know, I think it
2:49
lends itself to repeated listens like they're a band.
2:51
It's grown on me over time. I feel like, you know, I only
2:56
had in total, maybe three full lessons.
3:00
I had thought that one though the first time through
3:03
everything, second time through making cuts and then third time
3:07
through listen to my 20 today. And already I could feel myself
3:14
gravitating towards the songs that I picked.
3:16
So I think you're spot on with that.
3:18
I think this this there is something rewarding about a band
3:23
like this. That is that is kind of murky
3:25
and melty at points. Like definitely a lot of melty,
3:28
sounding guitars that to me that it speaks to me like it is this
3:33
a band that I'm going, you know, to pull out as hey, this is my
3:38
top band. Now is this like you guys had
3:41
put me on to nothing last time? It is this like a band that's
3:44
going to Skyrocket. No.
3:45
But like this is definitely to repeat the point.
3:48
Something that is well worth your time to listen to because
3:52
you are going to get rewarded for that.
3:54
So this isn't a deep discography Jamie like how how did you go
4:01
about plucking, your 20 out for it?
4:05
So I think I just listened to each album and picked out the
4:12
songs that stood out. And then so getting my list of
4:19
initial songs wasn't too bad. I did it over a couple days,
4:21
listening to an album once a day.
4:24
And what have you? But then what I really struggled
4:29
with was just which ones we're going to make the 20.
4:34
So I think because unlike yourself Josh and I had kind of
4:39
been curating L top 20 for quite a while.
4:44
So at the start of the Year, for me is when I started doing it
4:48
and I think after a month I'm like, okay, top 10 solid and
4:53
then Took like another month ago.
4:55
Okay, I think I've got 15 that last five.
5:00
It was so difficult for me to figure out what stays in.
5:04
So yeah, it like a cuz I also couldn't help myself listening
5:11
to my top 10 because it's just so solid like he's best tracks
5:16
of just they hit the spot. Hmm, so same question to you
5:22
Josh like how'd you know, know Now that the cat is out of the
5:25
bag, you guys have been working on this one for a while.
5:29
Like what are you looking for? As you're putting your 20
5:31
together? Is there something you're
5:32
leaning or trying to pluck out? I find that the Sunbeam tracks
5:39
seem to to going to different categories, fairly easily, not
5:43
in terms of picking me my 20 G's, I just wonderful bargain.
5:46
Then puking meet when me but I think like over the album's that
5:52
they've got real different production values and I find
5:55
that, you know, you can, you can pick off different sounds to add
6:00
to the playlist. The first album definitely have
6:05
this far. Why Mickey sort of psychedelic
6:09
quality to it, whereas the production over time gets a bit
6:12
more. I would say, poppy, but cleaner
6:16
and maybe almost like a high fire compared to the older
6:20
stuff. So I think it's finding a mix
6:23
from their early stuff in their latest stuff because I think the
6:27
songwriting quality is pretty similar.
6:29
It's just the production style has changed over time. 1,000
6:34
where you going to say something, Jimmy, I don't want
6:35
to cut you off. I was more thinking like I agree
6:39
with Josh. I wouldn't they Papi but the
6:42
term I used in a lot of my tracks when I'm going through
6:47
and writing my notes is boppy. So I get that.
6:52
Can you point? So very similarly to what you
6:57
were saying, Josh like I found myself, like I locked in
7:01
immediately We as like, okay, so this is what it is, and not not
7:06
finding it too difficult to find.
7:08
What? I'm what I'm going to pick to
7:10
come through the second round. And then when I get to Wanderer,
7:15
I'm like, oh wait, you put a little bit of production to what
7:20
he's doing and suddenly it's on this whole other level and it's
7:25
got my attention in a whole different way.
7:27
And, you know, that's not to discredit anything that became
7:30
before it, because, as I mentioned, I Jointed.
7:32
I'm finding I'm finding it, easy.
7:36
But that first record for wonderer, that's where it all
7:41
got difficult for me, because like, as I'm going through,
7:43
wonder, I'm like, oh, this, this this works, this works, this
7:48
works. And then, you know, you get, we
7:51
had a couple of singles in between that and goodness,
7:53
gracious. And like, I was like, oh my God,
7:55
I like these a lot 200 and then goodness, gracious, has that
7:59
next level them like, oh, okay, he's just the production's just
8:03
going up, which is great. But it it made I ended up in
8:09
that same dilemma. You did Josh like and do I lean
8:12
towards production because it might be more accessible to
8:15
people or do I just lean on songwriting.
8:18
So like I tried to have this nice mix and I I agree with what
8:24
Jamie's like I'm somewhere in between here because possum is
8:29
the most recent work and like my my instinct is to go.
8:33
Yeah, that's really poppy but like it. isn't it's that like
8:37
degree off from pop, it's kind of similar to I'm trying to
8:44
remember which, which back record.
8:47
It was. There's a Beck record where it's
8:48
like, I'm going to write a pop record and I'm going to take the
8:51
dial and turn it just one to the right.
8:53
And so it's like not exactly pop, that's what possum felt
8:57
like to me. You spoiled one is foot on there
9:02
and I think as well so now that I know that it's an ex I was
9:06
B's. The guy that he's the band's
9:09
kind of like time in polymers just Kevin Parker but it's This
9:13
is the songs are on the you know, the sun being named but I
9:17
kind of think as well. You can sort of hear it and hear
9:21
the sound of someone may be getting better at production,
9:24
maybe, like refining this song writing style because it's all
9:28
his music and he, you know, he's paying everything and etc etc.
9:32
And I feel like and and that's another thing that comes into
9:36
choosing the tracks, like with mentioned wonder, and even the
9:39
tracks will fall out. There's this like, sort of
9:41
naivety to them. And, and like, This charm to his
9:44
earlier stuff and maybe it's kind of warts and all even
9:47
though it's very densely product produced, whereas possums more
9:51
refined and he's probably he's getting better at writing songs
9:54
and whilst sometimes you lose a bit of charm when you get later
9:58
into your time and becoming better at producing or even just
10:02
music in general, as a songwriter, it sounds more
10:06
professional. Whereas, the earlier stuff,
10:08
might sound a bit I wouldn't say amateur is because it's Sounds
10:13
great. But it's got a whole different
10:15
charm to and I'm thinking maybe that comes into it as well.
10:17
That that's my interpretation when I hear it.
10:19
Anyway because I've read a few articles saying that he pretty
10:22
much, he records it at home and then plays at him.
10:27
So yeah like I get that because I'm I think when I delved into
10:32
initially the one because I usually listen to my music by
10:36
albums and I think I listen to pretty much goodness gracious
10:42
that was just the old one, my listen to, which is probably the
10:45
neutral part of it, where, you know, possum is a lot more
10:50
towards that Poppy side and Wanderers a lot darker and
10:53
brooding where goodness gracious is probably the in-between so
10:58
that's probably a good neutral album if people who like
11:01
listening to bands from albums to come into them with I want to
11:08
hammer home Josh's Point here and about him recording at home.
11:13
And it sounds like such a negative when, when it comes up,
11:18
in this way. But like, it's not, like, I
11:20
can't do that. I've done home recordings.
11:22
They don't, they don't come out sounding this well, but like,
11:26
there was that feeling of like, I don't know how familiar you
11:29
guys are with like a car seat headrest, shoot waves.
11:36
But like yeah, it has this feeling of this dude, is just in
11:41
his garage or in his bedroom or in his closet or something and
11:44
just sit and do himself right music and, you know, technically
11:49
like sound-wise. I'd put this above those two
11:54
that I mentioned, but like, it does have that.
11:58
That almost not quite low fi, but like, almost there like
12:04
homemade like in in the most loving way, possible homemade.
12:09
Hmm, and I found that to use Josh's where Charming like it,
12:14
it brought me in. And then when the production
12:17
starts kicking up, then I go like, okay.
12:20
Like it puts the songwriting more on display which is like oh
12:24
cool. Like he's getting better at
12:26
production and Songwriting. I can't you know any artists
12:31
should be doing I would assume but that brings us to the the
12:36
always scary layer of the conversation, you know, because
12:41
you never know how this is going to go.
12:43
Again, this isn't like some massive discography.
12:45
I think it's like 22 hours and 43 minutes like 40-something
12:50
songs. I think but Jamie, let me grab
12:54
my What do you think based on everything we've just said, how
13:00
many do you think we get through unanimously?
13:04
So I think last time I was with nothing, I was very optimistic
13:10
with five. I think again I look at my list
13:14
and go how can we not get a solid ten out of ten?
13:17
But being realistic with the fact that people have different
13:24
opinions and thoughts to me. I'll go 3.
13:29
I can see that. What are you thinking?
13:31
Josh? Yeah, I think for is the way to
13:37
go, man. You never my number four was the
13:42
one I was eyeballing. I I just feel like While it's
13:48
agreeable, it is still hard to nail the exact.
13:54
So now the question is, do I go further - and go to Tink to
13:59
seems entirely too low? five doesn't seem to be out of
14:03
the question, but Five. Seems like at least close to the
14:12
for that I wanted. So I'm going to go with five.
14:15
All right. We're going to take a quick
14:17
pause and when we come back, we won't play the game.
14:21

Need enjoying the hustle today. And with that, the name of the
15:02
game is deprogram, the three of us have come through this sound.
15:05
Be son. Be, I can read Sunbeam sound
15:08
machine discography and pluck out 20 songs that were now going
15:11
to mash together in an attempt to get top 10 starter kit for
15:14
you, in case you have never given them a chance or maybe
15:18
never even heard of them. You know.
15:19
This is this is what excites me about this show because again,
15:22
this is a band. I've never heard of and chances
15:26
are, if you're listening in America, you've probably never
15:28
heard of them. So you got a chance Us to push
15:31
play on a new band. So now the question goes, do I
15:37
do the thing that I normally do and lock in on the sound, or do
15:44
I go where the band locked me in feel, like I need to do that
15:49
one. I feel like I need to go.
15:50
This, this is the moment. I went.
15:54
There's more to this band than I thought.
15:57
I'm going to go with wandering eye.
16:00
Yes, sorry to let you down, boys.
16:03
Ah, okay, so it's not unanimous but at least I didn't, you know,
16:09
You know, throw a dart and completely miss, you got to
16:13
that's all right. All right.
16:15
Jamie I'm gonna go with what I think is top song of his and
16:22
that's talking distance. Nope, I got it.
16:28
All right. Nice.
16:29
I will. I will give that song credit.
16:31
They played that live and I feel like it's kind of different to
16:35
literally. I was songs.
16:36
It muscular if that makes sense and sort of Relentless at a real
16:40
chunky sound life, which some of the other songs a bit more
16:43
eerie. So I'll give her props for that.
16:45
But now I wasn't too much money. It's funny because I'm my note I
16:48
also got awesome. Listen live.
16:50
So Eerie that's that's the other word I wanted to bring up
16:57
because it's not quite spooky, you know.
17:00
It's not quite like scary but you know melty was the think
17:04
closest thing I come to but Erie, that's definitely the word
17:08
I was looking for. There is often an eerie sound
17:13
throughout this discography. All right, Josh I think I'll go
17:19
with favor dream. I just think it's like a perfect
17:22
mix between sort of shoegaze and psychedelia.
17:26
I got it. I got it.
17:29
There we go. And So It Begins.
17:33
Imma do it. I think it's plain.
17:42
Let's go to sleep a long fight in, which is like, no good for
17:46
the program, but that is 108 in. I don't know.
17:50
I feel like this cool progression.
17:53
I don't know, it's kind of magical way out how it plays.
17:56
It's just a really evocative track and it's probably I think
18:01
admires the best version of that sort of intense effect late, an
18:06
atmosphere that Wanderer has kind of like walking through a
18:11
dark Forest. It's that night Vibe all I hope
18:15
not. It is, I've been with us before
18:18
and hearing someone go. Who in the forest that Sorry
18:26
it's better. I wouldn't even call it an
18:28
in-joke Justin but it was a scary experience that we've
18:31
Jamie no experience with some of our mates and you know, maybe
18:35
that's for after the fact, one of you I'm going to make a note
18:40
of that walking in the woods. In the woods, we'll come back to
18:47
that and I want to keep one of the end, we didn't die.
18:49
So clearly after the fact, folks, if you want to, if you
18:54
want to get in it on it, patreon.com slash.
18:56
Oh, hi Justin. Alright, we're back to me.
19:05
I was listening to these earlier and shoot both of these songs
19:10
that kind of like. Oh my God, I like both of these
19:13
a lot more than to Josh's Point earlier like each time I listen
19:18
to them like the first time I listened to what are they?
19:20
Okay, you know, this is definitely first pass material.
19:23
Second time I listen to it, I was like Yeah, clearly this is
19:28
on my 20 and then when I listen to it, today, I'm going to go
19:30
with the second one. When I listen to today, I was
19:32
like, oh wow, I am so glad I picked this one getting Young.
19:43
Yes, I don't believe that's on my list either.
19:46
Oh and this is the often repeated comment that we heard
19:53
it nothing but that was in me. Spare five or six after like 20
19:58
for fifth on the list. I think it was.
20:01
So what got me today was like At one point in song, he goes, take
20:06
me back to 95 and I'm like, okay, that's the refrain right?
20:09
And then you get the next time it's no take me back to 94.
20:13
Take back the 1993 92-91. I was like oh you just counting
20:17
backwards? I don't know man.
20:19
I'm a sucker for that. Kind of Simplicity.
20:21
Sometimes I think the chooses because if we did go back to
20:27
those years, eventually we wouldn't be on the podcast
20:31
because we wouldn't even be on the planet.
20:34
We would be 10 if we went to the 1990s.
20:37
So, all right. He whiffs, it was bound to
20:41
happen. I'm glad that I'm the first one
20:43
to do it. So, all right.
20:45
Jamie, gotta go with another solid hitter in your arms.
20:52
Yeah. Yes.
20:53
Yeah. Yep.
20:55
Here we go. That one felt like a gimme.
20:59
I don't know why, but it just did pretty much Beautiful.
21:06
Beautiful sound. Yeah.
21:08
Like because I've had the luck of saying something twice live,
21:15
when this song came on the first time I saw him, it was like,
21:20
everyone just up there, try to go and God.
21:21
We're so glad he played this song and that that wasn't odd.
21:25
Gig for many reasons, partially, because it's the first gig I've
21:29
been to where the headlining at came on at 5:00.
21:33
And it was in the first Civil or anything.
21:35
So never been to an afternoon gig before, but that was the
21:40
first and a really good one to I, you know, I believe in
21:45
afternoon gigs but I'm also a really old man get me home by
21:51
8:00. I'm good.
21:54
It was weird. Like, it's 5:00.
21:56
I'm like, I guess like it dinner now, like that's grass.
22:01
It's funny how you look at things when you're younger and
22:04
you're like, yeah, that that sounds kind of silly.
22:08
Like obviously afternoon heat would also like everybody used
22:10
to be like God sitting down a gig.
22:12
Why would anyone do that? And then once I like the full
22:15
scene to doing that, just pray code.
22:16
Like this is grass like my feet aren't in agony.
22:20
Like I've got this point. I've got this horrible routine
22:23
of just like sort of like popping up and down to the drum,
22:27
beat the bass drum. Every time I go to a geek
22:29
sitting down, like it actually probably kept a couple of years
22:33
of my life, I think. All right.
22:39
Josh. Okay, I think I'm gonna go with
22:44
I dreamt, I saw you in a dream. I just love how that that song
22:47
progresses. You know, got a really all be it
22:51
was before Wanderer but I feel like I don't know.
22:55
This was the first song that got me into the band and it's still
22:59
a song that like I'm captivated by I got it.
23:06
I don't. Well, thank god honestly.
23:10
I love how chaotic this song gets at the very end like the
23:14
symbols the acoustic guitar petition progression, and
23:18
everything is just, it's such a fun.
23:20
Listen. Yeah, I'm just a just a sucker
23:24
for dynamic shift. And whilst I usually before a
23:26
dynamic shift, like, the van it is quiet loud.
23:29
Like, this one's more drawn out experience but it still it hits
23:33
that Pika just builds and builds and builds and by the end, you
23:36
know, it's just beautiful, Crescendo.
23:39
Hmm, I hate that. I don't have a real, a real
23:42
answer. I think this just became like as
23:45
we were talking about before this just became a I'm trying to
23:50
even things out. Loss, you know, I don't think I
23:55
have a true reason, but I will, you know, since were there on
23:59
that record I'll pick. I'll go with one of the ones
24:01
that I did have my love. That was 21.
24:10
Yeah, I don't have that one. I should I should have called
24:16
the audible right there. I could have called the audible
24:20
and said you know what? I'm gonna drop my love and make
24:24
I dreamt, I saw you but the Integrity of the ilist is far
24:28
too important for me. So I am an okay song though.
24:35
Like will be Like I didn't pick it but it would be an
24:38
interesting addition to a playlist because it is a lot
24:41
different to his other stuff. And other to me, like, sort of
24:44
like got this slight 60 sort of soft rock vibe to it.
24:48
Lutely. Absolutely, for whatever reason,
24:51
like there's a song that Specifically is coming to my
24:56
mind, but the name of it is escaping me.
25:00
So maybe listen to after the fact, maybe it'll come come to
25:03
me by then. All right.
25:06
So you boy, mrs. All right, Jim.
25:12
I'm going to try. Hit another home run.
25:14
See if worrywart sticks? Yeah, yeah, I got it.
25:21
Jamie, look at you. Look, I just know what's good.
25:31
I like the carpet. Well, you know, blah, you never
25:33
told me about how the set on progresses over time.
25:36
This is like in my mind, the closest he's gotten to
25:39
recreating that early atmosphere from wonderer for, like, the
25:43
last few years. Like it's just, it's got a huge
25:47
atmosphere, but like it's a really nice harmonies in.
25:51
It, it seems that sounds like the old like wind sounds and
25:56
games. Like I didn't, that's a horrible
25:58
description. But I'm sure you know what?
26:02
Yeah, you're dead on man. Like it.
26:06
There is this this is like what if we produce some of the early
26:10
stuff a little bit better and it's like, Atmospheric is the
26:15
other word that I somehow left out of my description, but like
26:19
this puts the atmospheric like beautifully on display.
26:25
Yeah. Josh.
26:33
Mmm, I was going to say I'm trying to think tactically now
26:37
but that would be a lie. I'm just choosing this song so
26:39
like I think I'm going to go for song called two summers.
26:43
It's a song of his latest album and I just think it's a parting
26:50
on like a broken record but it's other day.
26:54
She's got this really nice, sort of Bittersweet, feeling to the
26:56
song. I got it.
27:20
And I had two big long speech last go around and I'm going to
27:24
pick the other song Cloud breaks.
27:28
Yeah, I don't have that one in my list.
27:33
Stuffy two twos are good right now.
27:39
Get us out of that. Ntp at least we don't want to be
27:43
one of those episodes. All right.
27:46
Jimmy, I'm going to go with, I promise that I'll try to give
27:53
you all my love. Yeah, yes.
27:59
So I don't have the final site looks like, but that's okay.
28:02
We're getting more home runs. You are on fire today.
28:07
Jimmy again. I just I know what's good.
28:17
Doesn't look like Madness anymore.
28:22
This this song is just like I wrote down so sweet.
28:25
So positive I don't know a different feeling to a little
28:29
different other songs. I love how this is.
28:32
This is precisely what we're talking about.
28:34
It's like it is on its front, it's Poppy but if you listen it
28:39
is that dial to the right? It's like a saccharine, sweet
28:45
pop record butt-dialed just to the right and And that
28:51
combination on this song, it just, it works beautifully.
29:00
Josh. I'm going to go with the song
29:05
called Cosmic Love Affair. Sorry mate.
29:16
I can't help but wonder if you're tanking to hold on to
29:19
that final said I'm too stupid to figure something out.
29:36
Yeah this song I just sometimes the songs like if you like he's
29:43
not in any sort of Rubik here he sounds super frustrated.
29:48
It has a big Lo-Fi sound to it. You here in a second.
29:53
I think I've forgotten the progression of the song with
29:56
when it eventually. And alerts coming, right?
30:04
Yeah, it about 2 seconds, flat. Almost clearly invented a single
30:14
version in my mind. You know, this this is something
30:23
I dreamt, I saw you in a dream. I was even thinking of that, but
30:27
I've listened to it obvious. There we go.
30:29
But as long a light but the start of the song just continues
30:33
over and over, I'm like I would cut that if I was putting on the
30:37
radio but this is going to be played in a radius.
30:39
As you said, it's a bit too much doll to the right.
30:43
Hmm. Even though the great self, All
30:47
right. I still don't feel like I've
30:52
clicked into you here yet Gents. Let me take this swing.
30:59
Let's see how about anyway. Anyway, I got it.
31:05
Nah. Sorry now I'm wishing I would
31:08
have taken a note to that earlier and now I can't remember
31:10
what song reminded me of. Actually, the one thing I like
31:14
about that song with a couple things, I feel like it's sums
31:18
up, the goodness gracious album quite well, it might be the fact
31:23
that he says the name of the album and the song, I don't
31:26
know. But does that but it also, I
31:30
don't know why but the kind of high guitar that's in the song.
31:33
For some reason, reminds me of the Spyro soundtrack and some of
31:38
the songs in that, I remembered what it was have.
31:43
Either of you guys seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,
31:48
Is that the one Will Smith? It's Jim Carrey and Kate
31:53
Winslet. Oh, that sounds very familiar.
31:57
Okay, well I will I will short, you know, short frame it for
32:04
you, Jim Carrey's dating Kate Winslet, they break up and there
32:09
is a machine that can erase your memories of that person.
32:14
Kate Winslet goes and does that. And then Jim Carrey finds out.
32:18
He's like, okay, I'm gonna do it too.
32:20
And so the movie takes place in Jim Carrey's memories and he's
32:25
trying To stop them from being deleted because he's changed his
32:27
mind. There's a lot of music that
32:30
sounds like anyway, anyway, in there.
32:32
And so like when it struck that chord with me, I was like
32:36
there's no there's no I can't. I can't remove the song, the
32:40
second it connected on that level for me.
32:43
I was like, okay well this one's in.
32:45
So all right, good one. So anyway, anyway was me so
32:52
Janie. I don't know if I'm going to hit
32:56
a home run with this one, but I do really love this song.
33:00
Is it possible? Yeah.
33:04
Is this the Crime Stoppers guy singing like yeah, Tafe voice.
33:10
I don't have it but I choose to use good.
33:15
I just love it. Like the first kiss, when I
33:17
listen to him live the first time I wasn't super into his new
33:22
album and its really grown on me.
33:24
The more I've listened to it, but this song was so left field.
33:28
When I was listening to it live and just hearing how he this
33:31
doorknob, The stores, but changes his voice and deepens it
33:34
live. Using the foot pedals.
33:36
It's a fun experience to watch. So just like that, we officially
33:41
have a conversation, folks. We have the four unanimous and
33:46
seven in the combo with plant. Plenty of gameplay. 123456789, I
33:52
still got 10. So yeah, we got plenty plenty of
33:55
time left to break this for Josh.
33:58
You're up. Well, I'm going to go for
34:02
whistle while you. Wait, next.
34:04
I'm partially. Any songs that sound like, I
34:06
could play it on the drums, which is probably, but only it
34:11
sort of reminds me of that sort of Relentless, drumbeat, from
34:15
the song sing by Blair is just like fairy shoegaze.
34:19
You just dumb? Dumb, dumb dumb dumb.
34:23
I don't know why I love every song.
34:24
It sounds like that but I just I got it.
34:29
I do those. So, my reason for taking it, And
34:37
obviously I went with wandering eye first, but this was the song
34:41
that I was weighing against leading off with because I like
34:45
to lead off with whenever you know song one album one.
34:49
If you tell me what you are from the jump and I think this does a
34:53
great job but like I went with wandering eye first because I
34:57
feel like I felt it more important to show the evolution,
35:01
and then we can go backwards, but I think whistle while you
35:04
wait is a great introduction to what you're about to get with,
35:09
but some being so, We'll try out some of my possum stuff here.
35:19
How about timing is everything? Mmm.
35:23
Yeah, it's good. I do not.
35:26
Okay. It's got a tube and all we're
35:33
doing is making the conversation harder.
35:34
Jamie just saying yeah. All right, you're up Jimmy.
35:42
All right. I think this is a not a home run
35:46
but we'll say Paradise. No, I got it.
35:54
So you're almost there wasn't quite a home run but it wasn't a
35:59
bum. So I don't know what that is.
36:01
A baseball built a single, yeah, an easy run to the plate.
36:08
Fielder's choice. It just might come up with
36:13
crooked analogies. My I'm totally out of my depth
36:15
when it comes to the bank. All right, Josh.
36:24
I want to go with silent era, Julie, because when I heard it
36:29
live, that the estimate my estimation of the song went up.
36:34
Yeah, I've got it. I can't make that unanimous.
36:39
It's got to be brutal. It's funny because it's like the
36:44
next one on my list. So we're just knocking it down
36:48
in order. Okay 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, maybe we do
36:57
like two more rounds and then dumped out.
37:02
I keep passing by this one. I might as well might as well.
37:05
See. Sound of glass breaking?
37:10
Nope. Nope, wow.
37:16
That's why I kept passing it by, but I would love if that song,
37:24
total though, some stupid reason.
37:26
Make like maybe like that sound effect randomly throughout the
37:31
show, just like it relates. What relates?
37:42
All right Jing the next one I really like the more I listen to
37:49
it. The more I really enjoyed it and
37:51
it's somehow no, I think that's my first Miss but I'm okay with
38:05
it because I found a song that probably to me an underrated
38:09
song of his Just because I've had dark and brooding it is.
38:14
And then when the vocals come in as well, Yeah, look Geraci.
38:19
First Strike, man. Josh.
38:31
I think I'm gonna go with real life in this round.
38:38
Yes. That's kind of a bit like
38:44
cloudbreak. I don't know if you've got a
38:48
good Niche, it writing songs like that, that sort of
38:52
widescreen, psychedelic pop. Yeah, it's got a great Sound
38:57
Stage to it. I think.
39:01
Hmm. you know, I'm going to go with this one, just because I do
39:10
feel like I feel like the name of this song is also a
39:16
description of his music, a tunnel.
39:23
Yes, spot on. But to knows it's too nice.
39:29
Sorry. Sometimes taking risks, I went,
39:34
I wouldn't for the joke instead of a real play.
39:39
You know what? Yes, it's a joke but it's
39:41
actually spawn are put on end of summer in my OneNote.
39:45
So some of the song, so like that is Autumn.
39:47
Yeah, especially Wanderer. Like, I feel like there's
39:53
something very October know what, you know, it's October
39:57
November for us to Wanderer like something.
40:01
About leaves falling and you know like it it's on par with
40:08
Smashing Pumpkins a door like it gives me that same kind of vibe
40:12
like as far as like where it puts my mood so.
40:16
Alright Jing, I'm gonna go with Mutual Life.
40:25
Yes. This conversation is gonna be
40:33
brutal. All right, Josh.
40:39
On a gray van connection and what sort of puts it over, I was
40:44
songs that would seal because I think it does sound a lot
40:47
different to ease the rest of these discography.
40:50
It's got a sort of a more typical Langley vibe to it.
40:55
I got it. I do not.
41:00
All right. So I got one too.
41:02
I only got three left. So I'm going to I'll just dump
41:04
them off in Rapid succession here.
41:09
Hold me back. No.
41:13
See I was right mind you I've got that one.
41:18
That was amiss pairs. Last but not least easy.
41:33
I've got that one. Nope.
41:36
Again, real third wheel Vibes coming on here.
41:42
It's obviously you listen to them for different reasons to
41:44
us. So, I've got near memory.
42:02
Yeah, just stuck in v. Yeah.
42:10
Wow. And I know you don't have this
42:14
one. Josh just from talking to you
42:16
outside of the podcast songs about you only because it is
42:23
different from all these other tunes and having that feature in
42:27
it. And just for fun, dump out,
42:35
whatever you got. Yeah, cease fire.
42:42
That's in my Comp List. Yep.
42:46
True love. Space face devotion and
42:51
elsewhere. So we got four, right?
43:01
We didn't pass it, unanimous for.
43:03
So Josh, you will be getting the final say here.
43:07
So the four in already in your arms fever dream worrywart and I
43:12
promise that I'll try to give you all my love.
43:16
And so we've got, let's see, 18, that we need to whittle down the
43:23
6 and well technically 5 because one of them, one of them will be
43:27
Josh's. All right, so we've got whistle
43:30
while you wait. I dreamt, I saw you in a dream.
43:33
Odd connection, wandering eye, real life, Cloud breaks.
43:39
Anyway anyway talking distance mind, you silent era.
43:44
Timing is everything. NG Mutual Life.
43:47
Is it possible? V?
43:50
Two summers, easy paradise and near memory.
43:55
Fuck delicious guys on. Doesn't it just does it just
43:58
does. So, you know, the first one I'll
44:00
admit I was wrong about because this one was a close one for me
44:03
as I dreamt I saw you in a dream unless anybody has any
44:07
objections. I feel like we can pop that one
44:10
through. Yeah, listen to that.
44:12
Listen going, that's got to go through a hundred percent.
44:15
Don't do that. First.
44:19
All right. So was there another one that
44:21
kind of came up? Jamie that you're like I can't
44:23
believe that one didn't did hit all of us.
44:30
I think. Anyway, anyway, I believe is
44:33
probably a good one to have in that list any objection Josh.
44:42
That I feel strongly enough about say, no, it was in my
44:44
spares look 25th. So go for it.
44:48
All right, so and then same question to you Josh.
44:50
Is there one that you can't believe we didn't get through?
44:56
Maybe not can't believe, but I think for the purposes of the
45:01
playlist in I think putting in Solitaire are being nice one.
45:06
Very slightly different Vibes. All right, I'm I mean up there,
45:10
so I'm less you object Jamie. Now let's do that.
45:18
So that you know that part is the easy part 7 down, two to go.
45:25
So now the question of you know, do we care about representation?
45:28
It looks like we've done a really good job of it on
45:30
accident. Yes.
45:34
So do we think that comes into play at all?
45:37
Or do we just say best best three remaining?
45:43
I mean, I tend to lean more on his newest album seven newest
45:49
three, although even though it was a small album, his
45:56
self-titled, one does have a decent representation for how
46:00
many songs? It's got overall in my list of
46:04
29, so I'm looking at. So we've got, we've got one
46:10
through on possum, which we got through unanimously, right?
46:15
And by the looks of what's remaining, we all agreed that
46:19
possums. A good record because there's 1
46:21
2, 3, 5 8 song, still alive from that record.
46:26
That's the album. Okay.
46:28
I think honestly Paradise should be in that list.
46:33
Okay, mmm, it's either that or two summers.
46:40
The, you know, that wasn't I'm is purely because I just think
46:47
it's the better song but and long.
46:52
Yeah. I'm willing to go with two
46:57
summers. So Justin, this is the song that
47:00
has the note has that Bittersweet end of summer
47:03
feeling to it. So, sort of altom full.
47:06
Yeah, got it going for the bit. All right, so if we grab two
47:13
summers, that brings us up to eight, he's so we one more and
47:21
then Josh gets a final say so I guess the next question is do we
47:28
take another from Possum or do we call it quits on that and
47:30
look elsewhere. Wonder got aside from Possum or
47:40
still from possum. Yes, I'd from Possum.
47:44
Okay. So whistle while you wait odd
47:47
connection. Wandering eye real life.
47:51
Cloud breaks. Talking distance in mind.
47:54
You solely wondering I, right? I mean, look, I don't want to
48:00
throw around any any kind of wait here.
48:02
But wandering, eye is definitely where I locked in on to.
48:09
This is something different than what I thought it was.
48:13
We're locked into what he's progressing into like I locked
48:18
into this is when I locked into the Artist as a whole and I was
48:22
like from that moment on I was paying a lot more attention for
48:27
whatever. That's worth.
48:30
Hmm, I can't, I can't say no to that justification.
48:34
It wasn't in my top 20 odd. But like the point of this
48:39
playlist is to make sure that someone new You're getting into
48:43
it or stands out to someone and they get talked to the band.
48:47
And you've made a really captivating sort of reason for
48:51
why should be Nepali. So I think yeah, lock it in any.
48:54
There we go. And that takes us up to 9 and
48:59
you can pick outside of the list.
49:00
That's remaining. I, of course, would prefer it
49:02
being alive song, but you don't have to do that.
49:07
This is sorry. Justin can I get you to repeat
49:10
the songs that are left in again?
49:11
Sure. So I'll still alive.
49:14
I dreamt I saw you in it. Sorry, I'm on the wrong list.
49:17
There we go. Listen, I say I'm pretty sure we
49:19
got those off whistle while you wait.
49:21
I'd connection. Real life.
49:24
Cloud breaks talking distance mind.
49:27
You timing is everything. Mutual Life, Is it possible?
49:31
V EZ paradise and near memory? Oh God, before I before I go to
49:39
actually choosing a song just to make a joke, Jammer about two
49:45
songs being in there or that we've already have that song in
49:48
the playlist. I think you should be the one to
49:51
say that because in the last nothing podcast, you put the
49:54
same song Twice into your top 20.
49:56
So I'm going to remind you of that again because it just goes
50:01
directly back to what you just said but anyway yeah I thought
50:05
that stuff. That's really tough in my order
50:10
I had. Is it possible the highest?
50:12
But in terms of playlist competition, I think cloud
50:16
breaks is a type of song that should be in there.
50:24
Or particular part of their sound.
50:26
So I think cloudbreak, this is my choice for that one.
50:29
Just, there we go. I will take final scene next to
50:35
it. Not that anybody ever gets to
50:36
look at these lists. But it's a little it's it's
50:40
bookkeeping, if you will all write the history.
50:44
Yep. Here we got.
50:46
I dreamt, I saw you in a dream in your arms fever dream
50:50
worrywart. I promise that I'll try to give
50:52
you all my love. Anyway.
50:54
Anyway, silent era, two summers. Wandering.
50:58
Eye cloud. Breaks is our final say.
51:02
Now, let's crank it down to that next level of those 10 Jamie,
51:06
which one is the one? The one.
51:15
I would be leaning towards a promise that I'll try and give
51:20
you all my love. Okay.
51:24
What do you think Josh? As much as I love that song, I'm
51:31
just going to go into playlist mode in my head.
51:35
And, and that's as I said, I really enjoy that song, and it's
51:38
going to really nice positive vibe, which is just sweet.
51:42
But I feel like if you were to choose a song to lead off a play
51:45
this such as this, you sort of need something that as close as
51:49
possible represents all the ears of the band terms of sound.
51:53
And for what we sort of said I said before, I think worrywart
51:56
is that Graham between they really atmospheric Mickey early
52:01
stuff, but that also like I'll call it widescreen quality in
52:06
terms of like really like well produced well like lovely song.
52:15
I don't know, I'm worried, what something I'd be sticking my
52:18
head out for, for the the leadoff.
52:21
So, you read my mind. I, you know, this isn't to go
52:26
because Jamie played exceptionally, well, this
52:29
evening but to me, like, for that for and I wouldn't have
52:34
picked it going in. I wouldn't have guessed, you
52:37
know, worrywart is the one. But when you really think about
52:40
like where it lines up and how it sounds, I feel like it has
52:44
the Best best accessible version of what they are.
52:51
And you can you can put this at the top of a playlist.
52:55
You can give this one song to somebody go.
52:57
Hey this is what they do and if they're willing to have the
52:59
conversation kind of go. Yeah they get a little mucker
53:02
before this and then a little after it gets you no more like,
53:06
you know, depressing and fall. Like there's there's a lot of
53:09
ground to cover here but I think worrywart is a great way to pop
53:14
it off. And you know what?
53:15
I don't disagree with that. More than happy for that to be
53:19
number one. Look at that.
53:22
It's just hard as like you just look at the list, you like it.
53:27
So this is what's fun about the program but also kind of
53:30
torturous is that you're arguing against songs you love for this
53:33
one. Yes, that's why I was but for
53:37
the playlist I just try to think about what I'd do.
53:39
If I was getting someone into the band.
53:41
Yeah. And are you want?
53:44
I suppose that was The first, I know I drink this on your dream
53:46
is the first one I've got into. But worrywart, was the first
53:49
one. I like played the the skin off
53:51
the vinyl. So this would be all right even
53:55
though it's technically not on an album.
53:58
Yeah, you're right. It's just kind of out there on
54:01
its own. All right, so worrywart is our
54:03
number one. I dreamt, I saw you in a dream
54:06
in your arms fever dream. I promise that I'll try to give
54:09
you all my love. Anyway.
54:11
Anyway, silent era. Two summers, wandering eye.
54:14
My and cloudbreak surrounds out of 10.
54:17
Let's let worrywart get its moment in the sun
54:38
like you're at the beach too long.
54:42
Don't know. I don't know what that is.
54:44
That could be what the worrywart is preparing to possibly.
54:49
I worried that I was I was at the beach too long.
54:52
I'm sorry. All right that's it apparently
54:57
he is from a town in Melbourne called Seaford so I actually
55:01
think you're up here. Wow.
55:03
Okay maybe instead of maybe that's think isn't a wind sound.
55:07
