Championship Edition - R.E.M. Pt 4 · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:02
Yeah, we're getting to the nitty gritty here, deep, deep into the
0:10
championship edition of R.E.M. We're in round four of the
0:13
preliminary rounds and as a precursor, we're going to go
0:19
over the 30 that have have already reached the finals
0:23
before we get our last 10 that go into the finals today.
0:27
And you know, if anybody, anybody wants to chime in, they
0:31
can. Otherwise, I'm just going to
0:32
read 30 songs in a row. You guys do what you will.
0:36
Starting at the top in the first round.
0:38
It was sitting still. Lot of murmur here.
0:41
Lot of murmur here. Sitting still.
0:43
Radio Free Europe, talk about the passion.
0:46
Perfect circle, strange currencies.
0:50
What's the frequency? Kenneth, world leader, Pretend,
0:55
the Great Beyond and Pilgrimage rounded out that first 10 before
1:02
we move on. You know, John, when when you
1:07
mention this, hey, did you want to go over these songs?
1:10
Like already just looking at these 10 before you even get to
1:13
the next 10, like thinking about not all not all those 10 are
1:19
going into the final ten. I mean, is it already getting
1:24
brutal just before you even even take on the rest of the the rest
1:28
of the list? Oh.
1:29
Yeah, I think that's, that's the reason why I like doing this is
1:32
to give it a little bit of like some of the ominous feel like,
1:36
oh man, what what have we done? Like to get it from like before
1:41
we get to the last, the last of the the first round, quote UN
1:45
quote. We bring in the like, we've
1:46
still, after we read these songs, we still got to add 10
1:49
more to go through, and we're only going to get to pick 15 to
1:52
move on final 10. And they can, yeah, there's
1:55
going to be some of these like out of these thirty that you're
1:58
going to read like there's at least 15 that I would fight for.
2:00
And we still got to add 10 more. So yeah, just a little bit of a
2:05
little bit more pressure before we get to the last movie.
2:08
All right, so let's let's get to the next 10.
2:11
We got Orange Crush South Central Rain electrolyte finest
2:15
works song Don't back, don't go back to Rockville.
2:18
Bittersweet me exhuming McCarthy disturbance at the Heron house
2:23
the one I love harbour coat and B mine rounds out that 10 Peter
2:29
now you've got a good look at at 20 here like are you looking at
2:33
some of these and go man, I I can't believe that one made it
2:36
or or is anything where you're like man like I'm glad that
2:39
one's there. I you know I is your list
2:42
starting to shape up already, you think?
2:46
A little bit I'm I'm really glad that be mine got there, but I'm
2:50
not sure if it'll end up on the final ten.
2:55
I know that it'll it'll be on my list for sure.
2:59
Show those parts and. I think the amount of murmur is
3:04
going to get cut down significantly for the final 10.
3:08
Yeah, that's the thing, yeah. Careful, careful.
3:13
Well. You know, it's just matter of
3:15
numbers here, all right, and then the the last 10 here, me
3:18
and honey losing my religion these days, I believe fawn me
3:23
all the way to Reno. You're going to be a star
3:25
country feedback Cuyahoga low. What if we gave it away?
3:29
And before I I pass it off to you, Gavin, I I got to tell you
3:32
guys like I forgot how much I loved Cuyahoga.
3:35
I listen to it like a whole bunch since the last time we got
3:38
together. It's like, oh, yeah, I love this
3:39
song. So I mean, Gavin, you've got a
3:42
good look here at at these 30. I mean, it is.
3:46
Are you feeling like regret for for jumping on to a project like
3:50
this yet? Oh, man, it's brutal.
3:53
This is going to be a total kill your darling situation, you
3:56
know, where you're just like having to hack off Lens.
3:58
It's really because I know just like me, all these guys have a
4:04
lot of love for this band and all these songs are really
4:07
special. And the thing about R.E.M. is
4:09
you have all these different songs that were have been really
4:11
special in different parts of your life because it's there's
4:14
such a such longevity. And so, yeah, it's like cutting
4:18
off pieces of your biography, you know?
4:22
Chris, you know, just real quickly because I I didn't get
4:25
to you and Brian, we'll get you guys in here real quick as as
4:29
I'm listing off those 30, are you are you going OK?
4:32
I can see a couple these going into my list or.
4:35
Or do you feel like again, is is regret seeping in yet?
4:42
I mean, I'm just here to see it out at this point after last
4:47
week. I, I really, I mean, to be
4:52
completely honest, I almost, I thought about quitting.
4:56
I'm just saying I can't see it through.
4:58
Once radio song was voted out last week, I talked to Jenny a
5:03
little bit about it and, and my wife and my wife was basically
5:08
like, suck it up, you've gone this far, you have to finish it.
5:13
I said yes, I I do have to finish it, but let the record be
5:18
known. That really, really fucking slew
5:21
me last week. I mean, yeah, it's, it's a,
5:24
it's, I mean, these songs cut, they cut, Brian.
5:29
Like if if your song doesn't get in, it can, it can like it feels
5:35
like you're taking a slice out of yourself.
5:37
I mean, again, I hate to repeat the question, but is the regret
5:40
seeping in? I like, is this, is this looking
5:43
like, hey, man, yeah, this is exactly what I signed up for.
5:50
I mean, I don't know if I have any regret.
5:53
You know, I have been looking at the list of 30.
5:57
And then I'm like, you know what, like, like some of the
6:01
ones that got on unanimously may not get to that final like,
6:06
certainly. Yeah, you know, and I do.
6:10
And there is stuff like I like I regretted it, it, you know,
6:17
actually like, you know, you know, not to like, you know, add
6:21
on, add on. But like I, I, I do regret
6:24
taking some songs that I put on only because I was, you know,
6:32
playing deprogrammed or something and, you know, getting
6:36
them, you know, closer than I thought, you know, that they
6:39
should have been. And then not taking other songs,
6:43
you know, based on, I don't know, almost like a need to have
6:48
certain songs there, you know, like I, I, I did fight with
6:53
myself a lot on what's this on It's the end of the world.
6:59
And I was like, no, it doesn't belong there.
7:01
It's not as good as songs, other songs.
7:03
And then, you know, it ended up getting caught and I'm like,
7:06
see, I could have added on to something else instead.
7:09
And it's like I wasted a pick on that so.
7:13
See, we've, we've twisted the knife already, John.
7:16
Let's, let's twist, twist it a little harder, man.
7:18
Let's, let's get some real pain going here before we we hop into
7:22
this part 4. Like there's only a few left
7:26
here. But like you even mentioned this
7:28
last week, like you like this last one to be really difficult.
7:32
So what? What's on the table tonight?
7:35
Yeah. So, you know, like we talked
7:36
about, I had kind of broken their career up into those four
7:39
errands. And for this one from the from
7:44
the first area, we have fables of the reconstruction from the
7:48
second area, the big one automatic for the people like
7:51
that. I definitely wanted to save,
7:53
save that one for last. And then from the from the third
7:56
group we have up, which is I think a really underrated record
8:00
and it's gonna be interesting to see how that plays out.
8:04
And from the final group, we have Accelerate, which is also a
8:08
kind of a, a sneaky good record from late in their career.
8:11
And then on top of that, we threw in the Chronic.
8:16
Yeah, so you know, nothing easy here.
8:19
Did you find picking your songs for this one easy though?
8:25
No, I did not actually. And I was, I actually made made
8:29
a change about 10 minutes before we where we started, which I
8:34
like, like once I have it like it's done dusted.
8:38
I don't I don't even look at it again.
8:40
But yeah, that it's, it's going to be, I think this is going to
8:43
be we, Chris, we, none of us might come back for the, for the
8:49
finals. So, so Peter, like as you're,
8:55
you know, let's find out where you are with these specific
8:59
R.E.M. records and then talk to me about like, you know, how,
9:02
how hard the, the song choice was.
9:04
Like how did you go about picking your 20?
9:09
Automatic for the People is not just my favorite R.E.M. album,
9:12
but it's one of my top five albums of all time, so obviously
9:17
the scale is tipped towards that for me.
9:22
Fables I like, but I like it the least of their 80s albums.
9:28
I think the band agrees with that too.
9:30
I think they've said some not too fun things about it.
9:35
Up is an interesting record. Up is Up is them trying to find
9:41
their footing after Bill Berry left and it's very much the
9:46
sound of a three legged dog trying to find its way.
9:48
And there are songs there that do stand up with the best of
9:53
R.E.M. though and accelerate like they.
9:57
Like you said before, it was just a sneaky good late era
10:00
record and putting Chronic Town here was just cruel.
10:08
Oh boy. So, Gavin, where are you at with
10:11
this run of R.E.M. Records.
10:17
This one wasn't as hard for me. I I really love Chronic Town.
10:22
I remember, you know, when we all thought that that was like a
10:27
goth record, you know, because Bill Berries were an eyeliner on
10:31
the back and you know, there's a gun on the front and you just
10:36
wear your R.E.M. Pin next to your Cure pin and
10:38
your Susie and the Banshees pin. I love that.
10:43
Abel's Abel's used to be my least favorite of the 80s and
10:47
and I have like really grown a new sort of love for fables.
10:54
The reconstruction. I I saw that tour in Berkeley.
11:00
I was really young and I remember I'm a college student.
11:05
A girl was in line and she called Michael Stipe a sex God.
11:11
And I couldn't, I was like, couldn't believe she said that.
11:13
I'd never heard anything like that.
11:15
I was like, Oh my God, that's amazing.
11:17
So I have a lot of love for fables.
11:20
You know, up like really Up is like kind of a really
11:25
interesting record and I and I forgot how many cool weird
11:31
little songs are on there. So yeah, it wasn't so bad for
11:38
me. I'm feeling good going in.
11:40
I just want to also say to Chris like that you know, your love
11:46
for like radio song. I totally appreciate it all
11:50
about and like I think that's what makes good radio or good
11:56
programmed episodes is like the pain and suffering and like you
12:01
know, some of these episodes when I listen to you guys, I'm
12:04
like yelling at my phone like what the fuck?
12:06
You know, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
12:09
We were all like in agreement. We may as well just fucking go
12:12
buy the greatest hits album or something, you know?
12:14
It's like your pain. Like, do a really good episode,
12:21
you know? True.
12:23
It's. It's true.
12:25
I hope some people get some pleasure from my pain.
12:28
If, if that, if that gets, you know, if that's what builds the
12:33
ratings or whatever, then you know, I'm glad it happened.
12:39
As as Anthony Kiedis once said, I like pleasure spiked with
12:43
pain, Chris. Like, where are you with this,
12:47
this run of R.E.M. records? And how difficult was, is there
12:51
a radio song here that you were like, Oh my God.
12:54
Not, not really. There's a couple that I'm pretty
12:58
attached to. I Fables was a great record back
13:03
in the day. I enjoyed that.
13:05
I enjoyed Jesus. What is it?
13:11
Chronic Town is a great beard record.
13:14
Automatic for the People is it's the last R.E.M.
13:17
I heard. I kind of stopped listening to
13:20
them, not because it was a bad record, I really liked that
13:22
record. I just kind of got into other
13:25
things in the mid 90s and R.E.M. never really got back on my
13:30
radar. So those other two records I had
13:33
never heard before and I enjoyed them.
13:36
They're they're both really cool albums.
13:38
I like to punch the songs off of both of them.
13:43
Yeah, this one was not bad. Like I said, there's 3 or 4
13:47
songs that I I really love, especially off of Automatic for
13:53
the People and Fables, but this list was not.
13:59
This was not too tough to get through.
14:02
So, so far, John's attempt to, like, really be brutal to
14:06
everybody sounds like it was only brutal to Peter so far,
14:09
Brian, Like, was this a brutal one for you?
14:14
I'm kind of with Chris here, Fables and automatic.
14:19
I really like fables. I and you know, everyone's, you
14:22
know, I hear people say, oh, you know, like it was my least
14:25
favorite of the 80s. Then I'm like, what?
14:27
I really like it. Like it's, you know, it's kind
14:29
of weird and like I liked it. Then I'm like, then I started
14:32
thinking about it. I'm like, yeah, you know, like I
14:34
would put document above it. Like I would put murmur above
14:36
it. A life rich pageant is like, you
14:40
know, like my favorite of the 80s.
14:42
So that so like by default like it might.
14:47
Be. Yeah.
14:49
Like, you know, by default, like I don't listen to Green that
14:52
much actually, so I don't know. And Automatic, I was going to
14:57
say right now that I will obviously I couldn't take all of
15:02
Automatic. Yeah, which is tough because
15:04
it's a, it's like their perfect album.
15:07
It's a pen. And I, I, I will pay for any
15:12
song that comes up off Automatic, but obviously I can't
15:16
take the whole album. I, I was not very familiar with
15:22
Accelerate actually. This is like my first time
15:25
actually like listening to it, which I'm not sure why up I was
15:33
kind of familiar with, familiar with a couple of the songs.
15:39
But yeah, we'll see. Yeah, we'll see how this goes.
15:45
I mean, you know, when, you know, again, maybe not everybody
15:49
had a brewery time picking their 20, but it might be once we get
15:53
to like the gameplay, John, that it gets brutal.
15:57
So let's get to the gameplay and and see what happens here.
16:00
Where is it that you would like to start?
16:04
Yeah, like I've like I said the last time I I think about this,
16:08
like do I want to go with like an obvious one?
16:11
Do we want to get off on like started, start with like a
16:15
Gimme, like a layup hopefully and get something on the board?
16:18
But I don't think I want to do that.
16:21
I think I want to try to throw out one just to kind of see
16:25
where everybody's at and we'll see how this goes.
16:31
I'm going to go to up and let's go with the let's go with
16:34
Daysleeper. All right, Daysleeper, Peter.
16:40
Yeah, I've got it. Gavin.
16:45
Yeah, I love that song. Chris no, sorry all.
16:50
Right. And Brian?
16:53
I do. Hey, that's a decent omen.
16:58
Yeah, that's a decent omen. Not a bad start, all right?
17:02
Half of me is going yeah, sorry. The other half of me is still
17:06
still really butt hurt and going, no, I don't have it.
17:09
Fuck you guys. All right, Peter.
17:17
I'm going to play it safe and go for an obvious one.
17:20
Man on the moon all. Right.
17:25
How did I scroll past it? I don't know how that happened,
17:28
Gavin. I didn't take it.
17:31
Oh. What?
17:34
Yeah. Oh, Chris.
17:37
I don't think we need man on the.
17:40
Moon now it's yeah, this is one of the ones where I'm like, now
17:43
I'll go to bat for the song I really love Man on the Moon.
17:46
All right, Brian. Yeah.
17:50
Absolutely. All right.
17:52
And John. Yes, All right, we'll take that
17:56
4. Interesting.
18:00
I mean, again, this is a decent omen, even though what what
18:06
could be argued as a home run was a triple.
18:10
All right, Gavin. I'm going to go to up.
18:15
I'm going to take I'm going to pull a Justin and take a track
18:18
one on up the weird Eno esque ambient song Airport Man Nice.
18:25
Chris. No, sorry.
18:29
And Brian? No.
18:32
John. No.
18:36
And Peter? Sorry I can't save you on this
18:40
one. Wow.
18:40
To. The Bennett goes Yikes.
18:46
All right, Chris. Wow.
18:51
I mean, every time I say no, I always go no sorry because I
18:54
always feel bad when I don't pick somebody's song.
18:59
So I wasn't sure what song to go with, but I'm going to go with
19:03
this one given that I always say sorry the apologies.
19:11
All right, Brian. I do.
19:15
Nice. Lot of up so far, John.
19:20
Oh no. If I if I had room for a couple
19:23
more, yes, but didn't make the final cut.
19:26
Peter. I'm sorry, so sorry.
19:32
See, we're all we're all the apologists here.
19:36
And Kevin? No.
19:38
No, all right. Well, you know, wow.
19:41
As it as it goes to it's a. Good song.
19:44
Who's OK? Yeah.
19:45
They're, they're all good songs. I, I, I can't think of any
19:49
R.E.M. song. Honestly, after going through
19:52
their entire discography, they're unlike, you know what?
19:55
That's not a good song. I really can't.
20:00
All right. And Brian round out this from
20:03
first round. All right, I'm gonna go for one
20:07
that I think should be a home run.
20:11
One of my favorite waltzes, night swimming.
20:16
Night swimming, John. Yes, absolutely.
20:23
Peter. 100% yes. Gavin.
20:28
Yeah, I love that piano. And Chris?
20:32
Yeah, that's a great song. Absolutely.
20:34
Yes, yeah, that one feels like it kind of has to.
20:40
That's another one of my Yeah, I'd have gone.
20:45
I'd have gone to bat for that if it hadn't gone.
20:48
Yeah, that is absolutely. That's an Apple song.
20:50
Like we when I lived there, like you, you would find these pools
20:55
that like 11:00 at night. There's one of like in this
20:57
apartment complex that we'd always go to though, that that's
21:00
an Apple song. That's awesome.
21:04
Not a bad first round fellas. 1 unanimous, a couple fours, A2
21:09
and A1. All right, back around to you,
21:12
John. All right, so this one mentions
21:18
a a very small town in in Georgia and I give a shout out
21:23
to my friend from college. James actually went to the small
21:28
town and to check it out because it's name checked in this song
21:32
and reported back that you should not go there.
21:37
And it was it was very scary and not a place to be if if you if
21:42
you didn't know anyone, the the small town is Philo Mass and the
21:46
song is Can't Get there from here.
21:49
Right. Can't get there from here.
21:52
You know Peter? Yeah, I've got it, Gavin.
22:00
No. Chris.
22:03
Yeah, I talked that song a lot. Brian.
22:08
No, I, I was late cut all right. Three, you all have to go to
22:15
five O Math now. So I mean, it is shaping out to
22:22
be kind of bloody already. Like when you look at it, you
22:26
know it's fives, fours, threes, twos and ones like kind of all
22:31
over the map already, Peter. I'm going to RIP this Band-Aid
22:37
off now. This is one of my favorite
22:40
songs. It's it's a really pretty song
22:43
and it's one of the purest love songs that they've written.
22:47
It's at my most beautiful from up.
22:52
Blah, up Gavin. I don't have that.
22:56
I'm sorry, Peter. Chris.
23:00
Yeah, same. Sorry.
23:02
Brian it was caught and John. Yeah, that song has a special
23:15
personal meaning to me, so you'll say to that.
23:18
Wow, there you go. It's got a Beach Boys vibe to
23:22
it. Oh, for sure.
23:25
Yeah. And up and again, up and
23:27
accelerate renewed to me. I liked and again, I liked a lot
23:32
of the stuff on them, but I could only pick so many from
23:34
each record all. Right, Gavin?
23:43
I'm going to go to Chronic Town like an amazing song.
23:47
Do you guys have a carnival of sorts?
23:51
Chris. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
23:56
Brian. I don't all.
24:00
Right, John. Yes, I think this is the one
24:04
that Bill Barry originally refused to play live and he is
24:07
wrong because it's a good song, he said.
24:11
All right. And Peter?
24:13
I almost want to say no out of spite, but yeah, I do have it
24:16
it. Goes to a four.
24:22
Yep, that's a four all right, Chris.
24:29
We got left. All I got left is jokes at this
24:31
point. So let's go with how we're all
24:36
going to be feeling by the end of this fucking show.
24:38
I know it's a big radio hit. It might not make it, but you
24:41
know, everybody hurts. Brian.
24:47
Oh God, I absolutely still the song still still hurts me like
24:54
30 years later, yeah. Yeah, John.
24:59
Yes, Peter. Yep.
25:04
And Gavin, EW, All right, we'll take I'm.
25:09
Going to be the total automatic spoiler in this episode and I
25:13
yeah, sorry. You can't.
25:17
I feel like I. Feel like there's a lot.
25:20
It's a great song. There's a lot of bands that
25:22
could have written that song. A lot of.
25:24
These we're talking about, there's only one band that could
25:27
have written that song. It's R.E.M.
25:29
You know what I mean? Yeah.
25:33
All right, so everybody hurts was Chris Bryant.
25:39
I'm going to jump to Fables, Let's go maps and Legends.
25:49
All right, John. Yeah, that was the one I added
25:52
about 10 minutes ago. Oh.
25:54
Nice, yeah. Nice work.
25:56
Peter. I've got it.
25:59
Gavin. I do.
26:03
And Chris? No, I'm sorry.
26:05
We'll. Take that 4.
26:10
I don't think we're missing a lot of fives tonight, yeah.
26:16
No, but the amount of fours is encouraging.
26:19
These records run a gamut of sounds.
26:21
They're all, they're all so very different and we're all so very
26:26
different. So yeah, I think there might be
26:28
a lot of disparity in this this round you.
26:31
Know the way it's going. All these fours might not make
26:33
it though. Yeah, seriously, because there's
26:36
so much gameplay yet. All right, back around to you,
26:40
John. 2 rounds down. Cool, let's go back to Chronic
26:46
Town. And how about wolves Comma
26:51
lower? Peter.
26:55
Yeah, I've got it. Gavin.
26:58
No, I love that song. I was trying not to pick
27:00
everything off Chronic Town but Wolves Lower.
27:03
Is such. Cool.
27:05
It sounds like like the early cure like you were talking
27:07
about, like I. Know.
27:09
Got the dance song, yeah? Great.
27:13
All right, Chris. Yeah, yeah, I got it.
27:17
Yeah. And Brian?
27:20
Spoiler again? Oh my God.
27:23
It's a 3 though. 03 of those 4. Yeah, it's three.
27:28
Gavin didn't have it either. That was a long no for me.
27:34
All right, Peter. I'm almost afraid to play
27:41
something at this point. How about gardening at night?
27:51
Well, I wouldn't say that's something you should do.
27:54
I would say that you should probably do that during the day.
27:57
But what do I know, Gavin? Totally.
28:01
I love that song all. Right, Chris?
28:04
Yes, that's an absolutely amazing song.
28:08
Brian. Yeah, in in doing like research
28:13
for this, not only just listening to the songs, but just
28:18
try not to influence myself, but going through and looking at fan
28:21
pages of the best R.E.M. songs, this song was in like everyone's
28:25
top five. Well.
28:27
So yeah, John. So before I say I have AI have a
28:34
conspiracy theory about this song.
28:36
So if you guys are familiar with the actor Adam Scott, he was in
28:41
Parks and Recreation. He did a podcast with Scott
28:45
Arkham about R.E.M. They went over every song he was
28:48
in the are. You talking R.E.M.
28:50
To me. Exactly.
28:52
So he's in the show Severance, I don't know if you guys are
28:55
familiar. So there was an episode of
28:58
Severance where they one of the characters was explaining like
29:03
trying to lie about something she had seen and brought up.
29:08
She brought up the night Gardner.
29:10
And I have to think that that is on footballs that Adam Scott
29:15
brought that to them and said we is as a reference to this song.
29:18
But that's my that's my conspiracy theory.
29:23
You you can know with the postcards on the wall and the
29:27
the thumbtacks and the string. But that's a long way to say
29:30
yes, I do have cards. Rain story.
29:35
I'm with it. All right, hold on.
29:39
Let me queue it up here for us and there we go and I've lost
29:53
where we were guard was guarding at night that.
29:57
Was me it? Was Peter.
29:58
Peter. All right, hold on.
30:01
Just one second. My computer is being slow.
30:04
I'm trying to do too much, I think.
30:08
All right, Boom. That was 5 right again to be
30:11
all. Yeah, Everybody OK.
30:12
Yeah. It's 5 all right, Gavin.
30:18
I took driver 8 off fables all. Right.
30:24
Oh my God, Computer. Oh my God.
30:27
Computer, Chris. Yeah.
30:29
Oh yeah. Brian.
30:33
I do. John.
30:37
Yes, this is the first cool R.E.M.
30:39
Song that I liked when I was a kid.
30:42
And Peter? I do.
30:45
I do. Nice.
30:46
Cool. Yeah, that's a great song.
30:49
There's like there's a quote from Buck.
30:52
I think they're when they're trying to go in a different
30:54
direction maybe I don't know, when they're making automatic or
30:56
something. And he's like, if we play
30:59
anything that sounds like Driver 8, we're fucking cutting it, you
31:02
know? Nice.
31:09
All right, Driver 8 is in. And just like that, like John
31:14
was saying, these fours are looking wobbly all the sudden.
31:19
All right, Chris. I was going to do gardening at
31:25
night, but that was already taken.
31:28
I don't want to go back to automatic people yet because
31:30
we've done some of that already and I don't feel like we've done
31:33
a lot of Accelerate yet, which is a neat record.
31:40
I think my favorite off that record is I'm going to DJ all.
31:45
Right, Brian. No.
31:51
John. No, I do have a couple off that
31:55
record, but that's not one of them.
31:57
Peter. That was #21.
32:02
And Gavin, no. It's all right.
32:08
Yeah. Yeah.
32:09
I'm not super familiar with that record.
32:11
There were a few of that I really liked, which obviously
32:15
made the list. That's all right.
32:18
All right, Brian, I. Don't know where to go, I'll go
32:26
back to up walk unafraid. John.
32:35
Yeah, I got Peter. When I saw them live they played
32:41
the song and I wasn't expecting it at all and did fucking rocks
32:45
live so yes. Walk on a freed Gavin.
32:50
No, that was 21. I would not argue against that
32:53
song, Chris. Yeah, yeah, I got it.
33:01
All right, I'll take that 4. Since it was 21 for Gavin, just
33:04
put it on the list already I'd say.
33:08
The lyrics are based on something that Patti Smith said
33:11
to him. Oh.
33:12
Nice, that's cool. Just like that, I don't know.
33:18
We've got a couple more fours that can get bumped in here.
33:22
All right, Where are we now? Back to John or is it Brian?
33:30
Yeah, we're back to John Don. Holly.
33:33
OK, all right, I mentioned this song in the My Little Conspiracy
33:43
Theory rant last time, so let's go with Drive.
33:49
Peter. Adam Scott is in the video for
33:54
this. Yeah, I've got it.
33:57
Drive Gavin. I don't have it.
34:01
Chris. Yeah, I got drive.
34:04
And Brian? Oh yeah, And I'm, I, I was
34:10
constantly in the search. I, I remember when I was a kid
34:14
seeing a version of drive that was like funky.
34:18
It was like fast. And then it took me forever to
34:21
figure out it was during like like a Video Music Awards or
34:25
something. Then I found the video and then
34:28
like like I wish I could find like fast drive like like a
34:33
recorded or something. What was that 4?
34:39
That was a four. I think they put that version on
34:42
one of the best of so it's like a extra.
34:47
Oh, really? Yeah.
34:48
I gotta do a deeper dive and look for it because it was
34:50
awesome. It was like a just like a like a
34:53
like a funkier version. All right, Peter.
35:00
I'm going to go to fables failing gravities pull.
35:08
Gavin. Yeah, the creepy track 1.
35:12
Nice, Chris. I do not, sorry.
35:17
Brian. I do I have it.
35:21
And John? Yeah, that's a sequel.
35:25
Another 4. Another four it's going to be.
35:27
Brutal. It's.
35:28
Going to be a long night guys. All right, Gavin.
35:36
I'll stand on fables and do a weird southern kind of song.
35:39
Do you guys have good advices? Chris.
35:45
I do not, sorry. Brian.
35:49
Yes I am. I am clicking with Gavin
35:51
tonight. John.
35:55
No. And Peter?
35:59
Sorry, that's. All right.
36:02
All right, probably dead in the water, but we'll see.
36:06
So I mean, yeah, as it is, we got all those fours.
36:09
So still some gameplay left here.
36:16
All right, Chris. Well, let's stick with weird
36:20
Fable songs and go with Wendell G.
36:27
Brian. Yep.
36:31
John. No.
36:35
Peter. No.
36:38
Gavin. Yeah.
36:41
Oh. Right.
36:42
Like it's on a lot. Just seems just a little story
36:46
song, no chorus, just a little little story.
36:49
Diddy. I like it a lot.
36:51
Yeah, they they put that out as a single in England.
36:54
I think they were really reaching for singles.
36:56
It's kind. Of a hard record, Full singles,
36:58
yeah. Yeah, no, that's a hard record
37:00
to sell, but I liked it. What was that 3?
37:04
That was a three. Yeah, Brian.
37:13
Let's let's go to the title track for Accelerate,
37:17
Accelerate. John.
37:22
No. Peter.
37:25
I have stuff from the album but that song is not it.
37:29
Gavin. No.
37:31
And Chris? No, I'm sorry.
37:35
Open to the bend. OK.
37:38
Yeah 'cause my list is getting low.
37:40
I was going to say we, we got to be getting close here.
37:43
Yeah. All right, back to John.
37:48
That's still got six. I'm going to stay on Accelerate
37:51
and see if we can we can find one.
37:53
How about Supernatural? Super serious.
37:56
Peter. No.
37:59
Gavin. Yeah, nice.
38:02
I love that song. Chris.
38:05
Yep, Doug, that one. And Brian?
38:09
No, I don't have. It at 3, clinging on to life
38:15
barely. And I just want to note here
38:21
that that is the first song that both John and Peter didn't have.
38:27
Like that's the first different difference in their list.
38:32
All right, Peter. This is a great closing track.
38:40
Find the river from automatic for the people.
38:44
Gavin. No, I'm sorry.
38:47
Chris. It is a great closing track, but
38:50
I I don't have it, I'm sorry. Brian.
38:54
I don't. And John?
38:58
Wow, I am. I'm shocked that I thought that
39:01
was going to be a big sleeper. Oh, yeah, the the Peter and John
39:05
Streak is back. Yeah, I got it.
39:08
Wow, let's get the 2. That's really that's that's one
39:15
of the great, great and great songs.
39:19
Probably in the bin. I mean, we'll see when we get
39:21
there, but probably in the bin, Gavin.
39:26
Not feeling a lot of hope for this but I took green grow the
39:29
rushes off fables. Chris.
39:37
No, I I really love, love, love that song.
39:41
Yeah, I didn't keep it. I believe it's a remake.
39:51
Oh no, I guess it's not. There is another.
39:54
It's an Irish tune, Green Grow the rushes.
39:56
But it's it is different. My bad, my bad.
40:00
But no, it's I didn't keep it. Brian.
40:05
I don't. Alright, John.
40:09
No that that back half the table was tough.
40:13
And Peter? I don't have it.
40:18
I I think I may have hoped that it was a remake of the Irish
40:21
Green Grow the brush this button.
40:24
Cut, Yeah. All right, Chris.
40:32
If there's any song left that I'd like really feel somewhat
40:36
strongly about, I guess we'll go back to Automatic and The
40:40
Sidewinder Sleeps tonight. Brian.
40:45
Oh yes. John.
40:49
No. Peter.
40:52
The song where you can hear Michael Stipe audibly laugh in
40:55
the verse? Yeah.
40:56
Yeah, absolutely. Gavin.
41:01
Yeah, I got it. I love that song.
41:03
There's a four to contort this list, make it a little lot of
41:09
more difficult, All right, And Brian?
41:18
I don't know how many songs we've set off Chronic Town so
41:21
far if we've hit them all but 1,000,000.
41:27
John. No, Peter, not.
41:32
Gavin. No, but nice pick.
41:36
And. Chris yeah, no, I I wanted to
41:39
keep that record. I really did.
41:42
Every single song on it is good, but that was one that I got.
41:46
All right, so back around to John, I think four or five,
41:52
four, OK. All right.
41:53
Where you want to go? All right, this one was on the
41:59
original deprogrammed list, so let's give a shot about sweet
42:02
Spotless. Peter.
42:05
Yeah, absolutely. I love him.
42:08
Yeah, absolutely, Gavin. Yeah, yeah, that's a lovely
42:12
song. Chris.
42:17
No, sorry. Yeah, absolutely.
42:21
And no, sorry, on the same thing.
42:23
Song is so great, Brian. Oh.
42:28
No, it's a 3 hanging on to to life.
42:37
We'll see when we get there. We'll see when we.
42:39
Get. I'll wait for John to say.
42:40
We'll see. Yeah.
42:43
We'll see when we get there. All right, Peter.
42:51
This was a weird song for them, but it also happened to be a
42:54
single Lotus from UP. Gavin.
43:00
I didn't take it, but I really like that song.
43:02
I'm wondering why I didn't take it.
43:06
Chris. No, sorry.
43:10
Brian. I don't.
43:14
And John? No, that was the one I cut for
43:17
maps and legends all. Right, Gavin?
43:26
I took hollow man off accelerate.
43:31
I assume you're means yes? I took it.
43:34
Yeah. Yeah, I got.
43:35
I got that. Wow, I.
43:37
Didn't think I'd find anybody on that.
43:40
Brian. No, I don't.
43:43
John. No.
43:45
And Peter I. Think we all pick different
43:48
songs from Accelerate I don't have.
43:51
Right. Yeah.
43:52
Yeah, we might end up playing like the whole album,
43:54
Accelerate. I don't know.
43:57
I got I I got to do more shows with Gavin though, because he's,
44:00
he's up my alley on a lot of these stuff.
44:04
All right, Chris. Shit, there's got to be
44:09
something off Accelerate. We agree on horse to water.
44:14
All right, Brian. It's a fucking rocket song.
44:17
I like this a lot, no? I don't have it.
44:20
All right, John. No.
44:23
Peter. No.
44:25
And Gavin? No, sorry.
44:30
The bin. Like accelerate might go to the
44:32
bin. Yeah, just the whole thing.
44:34
The whole fucking record. We've got we've got one that has
44:37
a three and that's it. Yeah.
44:40
All right, Brian. Jeez, I have I have 4:00 left.
44:47
I have 4 less and three of them from from accelerate.
44:49
Oh my God. So I'm not going to go there.
44:57
We're going to go to automatic. Monty got a raw deal.
45:02
John. No.
45:05
Peter. That was a no for me.
45:10
Gavin. No.
45:14
And Chris? I can't help you man I'm sorry.
45:18
Something Brian got a raw deal. I had that.
45:22
I had that loaded ready to go, yeah.
45:24
Right, all right, back around to John all.
45:29
Right, I got to know what these Accelerate songs on you guys
45:32
have. I thought living well is the
45:33
best revenge. Peter.
45:38
Yeah, I haven't that one. Gavin.
45:41
No. Chris.
45:44
No. And Brian?
45:47
Yep, all. Right.
45:48
Wow. Yeah.
45:52
You know, at least there's a discussion that can be had when
45:55
we get there about Accelerate songs, you know, depending on
45:59
how much anybody wants to fight for that.
46:02
We'll see, Peter. This is my last one, no stormy
46:11
kitten all. Right, Gavin?
46:15
No. Chris.
46:18
Yeah, I got that. I love that song.
46:21
And Brian? No.
46:25
And John? No.
46:27
Actually knew that, Brian. I didn't have to ask you.
46:31
I forgot. I only have two songs left to
46:33
accelerate. Yeah.
46:35
And that's it. All right.
46:36
So unanimous is off the table, but we can still, we can still
46:42
make it difficult this next round, Gavin.
46:47
I took Hope off of Up, and that's a song they have to give
46:53
Leonard Cohen songwriting credit for because people said it
46:57
sounded like Suzanne, which I don't hear at all, but really
47:01
like the. All right.
47:05
Hope, Chris. No, sorry.
47:08
Brian, no wait. No, John.
47:13
Yeah. No.
47:14
OK, Chris. No.
47:21
No, it's your turn. Oh it's my turn.
47:24
Yes that's right. I was like I already said no
47:27
I've only got 2 left, which one do I go with?
47:35
I guess I'll go back to Fables. It's obviously naughty,
47:39
unanimous, but life and how to live it all.
47:42
Right. Well, we don't have to ask Brian
47:44
because we know Brian doesn't have it, John.
47:48
No, I'm sorry. And Gavin?
47:51
Yes. Nice, yeah.
47:53
You take. You take a. 2.
47:55
I got to look at what Gavin signed up for and sign up for
47:57
some of those. They could be they could be fun
48:01
shows we could agree a lot all. Right.
48:06
So let's see what one of these accelerates is Brian.
48:11
Let's go well. This is the father I've haven't
48:13
gotten sports dot team and can I please get some more time?
48:17
Thank you. You're welcome.
48:19
Sorry my kid is freaking out over the Roblox high limit.
48:24
So sorry about the interruption. Until the day is done all.
48:31
Right, John. No.
48:35
Gavin, no and Chris? No, sorry all.
48:40
Right, OK, back around to John all.
48:51
Right. Try not to breathe.
48:52
Another sad automatic song all. Right, Gavin?
49:01
No. Chris.
49:04
No. And we know it's Brian.
49:06
Don't have it? No, I don't, no.
49:11
Gavin. I took Kahotek off fables.
49:17
Chris. No.
49:20
John. No.
49:23
All right. And what's your last one, Chris?
49:27
My last one is Parakeet. Off up.
49:32
All right, hold on, John. Nope, my last 1 is awful but
49:39
it's not that one. And Kevin, no, All right, so
49:48
Chris is out and what's your last accelerate, Brian?
49:54
Last song sing for the submarine.
49:57
All right, so and so if John's last song is from up, we know
50:01
that that he doesn't have it. Gavin.
50:07
Is it my turn? No sing for the submarine.
50:10
No, I don't have it. OK, so Brian is out.
50:15
John, what's your last song? Sad professor all.
50:21
Right. Yep.
50:23
Wow. All right, so that leaves John
50:28
out. How many do you got left, Gavin?
50:32
1. OK, perfect.
50:34
What's your last one? Just for funsies.
50:36
I took Why not Smile off of up because it sounded like suicide,
50:41
like with the weird drum machine all.
50:45
Right. So strangely enough, we didn't
50:47
clear anything out. Even Chronic Town didn't get
50:50
cleared out. But hold on, let me shift this
50:53
around so I can give There's two from automatic New Orleans and
51:00
Ignore Land didn't get taken. 2 off of Fables, Old Man Kenzie
51:04
and Auctioneer didn't get taken. Good 4 from up didn't get taken,
51:10
and three from Accelerate didn't get taken.
51:13
All right, let's do some some heavy work here. 5 through
51:17
unanimously night swimming, gardening at night and driver
51:19
eight are in. Let's look at these fours
51:23
123456789 The easy thing would be to take take and cut two of
51:31
those right and and just go from there.
51:34
So here's the force day Sleeper man on the moon, Carnival sorts,
51:41
everybody hurts. Maps and legends walk unafraid.
51:44
Dr. Feeling gravity's pull. Sidewinder sleeps tonight.
51:52
I mean, should we tackle the two biggies?
51:55
Man on the Moon and everybody hurts first, John, because at
52:00
this point, do you need both? Gavin seems to think you don't
52:03
need either. Well, he's also an insane
52:09
person. Guilty.
52:13
Guilty as charged. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I I'd like
52:22
to play the either or game early on so we don't start just
52:26
throwing in too many and then have to have to backtrack later.
52:31
So if we're playing either or, I would probably go with Everybody
52:38
Hurts just because I know, I know.
52:43
But by, you know, by hair, I think that's the the better
52:48
song. Like the I think like what I'm
52:52
looking at too is the, you know, the I want to go with like the
52:57
serious and I lean towards the more serious side.
53:02
And you know, Man on the Moon, yeah, it was huge hit, but it's
53:06
always going to be linked with the like, Andy Kaufman movie and
53:12
that whole thing like, yeah, that that that maybe just slots
53:17
it just underneath everybody. All right.
53:20
So just for clarity, if we're doing either or, is this an
53:25
either or for in or is this an either or to stay alive?
53:31
Oh, per in they're they're they're both they we don't have
53:33
to cut one of them right now. I'm just like I'm saying either
53:36
or to get in. OK, as an either or Peter man on
53:41
the moon, everybody hurts. I mean I wouldn't cut either of
53:46
them, but if I had to pick one over the other I would say Man
53:51
on the Moon. I would just say like that's the
53:53
definitive R.E.M. Song.
53:56
Interesting, interesting point. All right, so now we move over
54:01
to you, Gavin, who very specifically said Man on the
54:05
Moon isn't necessary. If this was an either or
54:09
situation, firstly, would you be willing to concede one of these
54:12
songs? And then secondly, if you were
54:14
to concede one of these songs, which one would it be?
54:17
Yeah, I mean, they're both great songs, but for the sake of
54:20
argument, I'll argue why, you know, they're not, I guess, or
54:25
why I didn't pick them. I, I, I think, I think every,
54:29
like I said, I think Everybody Hurts could have been done by a
54:34
lot of different great songwriters.
54:37
I don't think it's particularly like important to attach it to
54:42
R.E.M. I know that a lot of people have
54:44
had a lot of special moments to that song, which I'm not going
54:47
to try to argue with. It's hard to argue.
54:50
It's a heart song. So the people that love it are
54:52
going to love it beyond any kind of argument.
54:55
I think that Man on the Moon is a spectacular song.
54:59
And but for the same reason that John said, I think Andy Kaufman
55:04
was brilliant, but eyeing it to a figure, put some kind of stamp
55:12
on it where either it it outdates it, or if you don't
55:18
care about Andy Kaufman or, or, or have any kind of, you know,
55:23
resonance with that, with that story, then it's a it's weird.
55:28
I wish they hadn't done that. I think it's like an amazing
55:30
song, but just not for me. All right?
55:36
I would choose Man on the Moon because I think it's a better
55:39
song. The song, the songwriting, all.
55:44
Right, Chris, if this. Is, I mean, given those two, if
55:48
I had to make a choice, I mean, I have very strong feelings
55:53
about. I watched Andy Kaufman like when
55:56
I was a kid on Saturday Night Live and Taxi and I loved
56:01
everything he did. I loved that fucking movie.
56:06
And also, it's an amazing song. And like Gavin said, I agree
56:09
with that. I could hear any number of bands
56:12
doing a song singing. Everybody hurts.
56:15
I agree with that. If I had to cut one of them, I
56:17
would say anybody. Everybody hurts.
56:20
Not to disparage anybody's personal feelings towards it.
56:23
I don't have those feelings towards it.
56:25
It's a great song. I love it, but I love Man in the
56:28
Moon more. But I also have an attachment to
56:32
Andy Kaufman, so. Yeah.
56:34
All right. This is an either or situation,
56:36
Brian. Which one would you pick, man on
56:38
the moon or Everybody Hurts? This whole conversation is
56:41
kooky. This is this is a conversation
56:45
that we should be having like next week.
56:50
We're trying to figure out everybody hurts or man on the
56:53
moon. Like this is not, this is not a
56:56
conversation for, for this week, this conversation for next week,
56:59
because both of these songs should, should, should, should
57:02
be on this list. Well, I, I don't know.
57:06
I'm, I'm, I'm looking at like the automatic songs we have, we
57:11
have, you know, right now half our list is automatic, you know,
57:15
like you know, does it, does the, does the conversation
57:19
extend like drive versus Sidewinder or?
57:24
Man Moon. Drive, you know, like, or is it
57:29
like Automatic is a fucking perfect album, and much like
57:33
Murmur, it deserves a big presence in the in the final,
57:39
and we should just take these five songs and move on.
57:45
That's that's how I feel about out of time and and my 4 turned
57:49
into a one last week so. I also, I also want to be clear,
57:54
like like John said, we're just picking one that's going to go
57:57
in now. All right.
57:59
We're not, we're not killing everybody hurts or man on the
58:03
moon. We're we're putting one in right
58:06
now. They both still have a really
58:08
good job. Yeah, all right.
58:09
Well, then, I mean, Michael Stipe doing an impression of,
58:13
of, of, of freaking Elvis. I mean, come on.
58:17
Yeah, yeah. All right.
58:20
So we're going to go ahead and put Man on the Moon in here and
58:27
then let's move on to like the the next heartbreak.
58:32
All right, I feel like those were like the behemoths, right?
58:36
You know there there's more to talk about like with automatic
58:40
and whatnot pier, but like, is there another one you kind of
58:43
want to bring to the table for next entry?
58:45
I. Think.
58:53
I think Walk on Afraid deserves a place there.
58:59
All right. I mean, you look at it, it's
59:01
it's a four from up. Let's see, Gavin, you were the
59:05
odd man out on on walk on afraid.
59:07
Was that just not enough? Room.
59:10
I think that's a great song and we don't have anything from UP
59:13
yet. I'm fine with that all.
59:15
Right. Is there one that you want to
59:19
put up for the next round of conversation, Gavin?
59:23
I would put up Carnival of Swords off of.
59:28
Again, we're vibing. That was going to be my choice
59:31
to put up all. Right.
59:36
All right, Brian, you're the odd man out on Carnival of sorts.
59:41
I mean, there's a lot out there, but this gets something from
59:45
Chronic Town through another thing from Chronic Town through.
59:49
Yeah, no, I'm, I'm, I, I love Chronic Town.
59:52
It was just, it was, I mean it, it was tough going up against
59:56
fables and automatic. Yeah, I know.
59:59
I'm I'm fine putting mode, putting vote behind it.
1:00:03
All right. Was that bring us up to 76?
1:00:08
So it would be Did we throw in? Is walking afraid in?
1:00:13
Yes. Oh, I would have said day
1:00:16
sleeper over that. Well, me too.
1:00:20
Oh yeah, Oh D Sleeper, God damn it.
1:00:25
Why not both? Well, I was going to.
1:00:28
Say that and I would and I would throw him over lower over
1:00:32
chronicle of sorts too. I think that's better small.
1:00:40
Yeah, I'm buying D Sleeper. Well, we're back around to you,
1:00:44
John, and this time we're not doing the either or.
1:00:48
So let's put another one up here for for conversation.
1:00:53
Like are we looking to cut or are we looking to add?
1:00:59
Looking at the fours, I would like I said I would.
1:01:05
I would much prefer Taste Sleeper over walk on the parade
1:01:07
and maybe to. Well, to address that, I think
1:01:12
like like Peterson, is there room for both?
1:01:15
I mean, technically, obviously there's enough room, but like.
1:01:18
Yeah, I think, I think we can cut.
1:01:20
I mean, I was the odd man out on Sidewinder sleeps tonight.
1:01:23
But like I think that's more of the more kind of joke year.
1:01:28
So I mean, yes, like the moment where he where he cracks up and
1:01:30
laughs funny. But they only put it on that
1:01:32
record to give it a little bit of levity.
1:01:34
Like I don't think that as we get into the next round, I don't
1:01:37
think that one really has a shot to stand up.
1:01:41
So I would maybe shoot to get rid of Sidewinder.
1:01:46
Does anybody? Because again, it's got to stand
1:01:50
against those other 30 songs that we talked about in the
1:01:52
songs that are already in. Does anybody have anything
1:01:55
against Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight Hitting the floor?
1:02:01
I mean, I would, I would if it was day sleeper versus
1:02:04
Sidewinder, I would take day sleeper all.
1:02:08
Right. So let's let's make this a
1:02:12
little easier going forward and drop sign wonder.
1:02:15
All right, so hold on. Where we at six computer wants
1:02:22
to be real slow. And how many do we have left?
1:02:24
12345. So I mean, are we looking to do
1:02:28
another cut here or put another one through?
1:02:32
We've got days sleeper everybody hurts maps and legends drive
1:02:36
feeling gravity's pull. I mean, it feels like this is
1:02:39
the natural time because if there's, if we're doing one more
1:02:43
cut, is this where everybody hurts?
1:02:47
I, I feel like this is the point where everybody hurts, has to
1:02:50
put up or shut up, right? Somebody has to make a
1:02:52
definitive case for it to get in or or it it's done right.
1:02:58
Yeah, I mean, I think you guys said that like, you know, I
1:03:01
heard there was, oh, you know, anybody could, but they wouldn't
1:03:05
do it as well as as oriented. That's like, that's a classic, I
1:03:09
think like losing my religion. Like yes, you heard it all the
1:03:12
time. And yes, the video play
1:03:15
constantly, but that that performance that site gives on
1:03:19
that song is presented on that block, it still holds up.
1:03:23
So let me. I'm OK with everybody hurts.
1:03:27
OK, so if you conceded on everybody hurts, what would your
1:03:32
cut be here Gavin? Right.
1:03:37
Oh, OK. So see, see we had we had some
1:03:48
descent there. So I mean does.
1:03:53
Or Caught One and keep one of the two Fable songs, Feeling
1:03:59
Gravity's Pull and Maps and Legends.
1:04:03
All right. Yeah, I think that's that's an
1:04:05
either or all. Right, so let's do an either or
1:04:08
with maps and legends and feeling Gravity's pull if you
1:04:11
had either or Gavin. Wow, that's a good they're both
1:04:15
kind of creepy, fucking weird songs.
1:04:17
I think. I think I'd go for maps and
1:04:19
legends because there's just that maybe he's caught in a
1:04:23
legend is really beautiful thing to say.
1:04:26
I I'm going to take maps and legends.
1:04:29
All right, either or, Chris. Maps and legends.
1:04:32
Feeling Gravity's pole. I I, I didn't give much of A
1:04:35
shit about either of those songs.
1:04:36
Honestly, no. Neither of them were on my list.
1:04:41
So I I feel weird picking one of them.
1:04:46
Let me listen to a few seconds of each of them here, I'm sure.
1:04:53
Well I guess I if I had to choose I'd keep Mac maps and
1:04:56
legends all. Right, Brian.
1:04:59
Yeah, I concur. Maps.
1:05:03
All right. I mean, I'd rather keep
1:05:07
Sidewinder over that, but that's me.
1:05:10
But I'm not also, I'm also not going to bat for any of these
1:05:14
songs this week because I'm going to go through the shit I
1:05:16
went through last week so. All right, either or, John.
1:05:20
Yeah, I think Maps and Legends, if I remember correctly, is the
1:05:23
one they were about Howard Pinster, such like an important
1:05:28
figure to them, the influence in those days.
1:05:30
He's from a Benet man in the woods in northwest Georgia,
1:05:34
where I was born into Trine Rome, which is pretty close by.
1:05:38
So I'd go with maps and. All right.
1:05:41
And Peter? Yeah, I'd go with maps and
1:05:48
legends too. All right, so that's a clean
1:05:50
sweep. Let's put that through and we
1:05:54
will kill feeling gravity, gravity's pull.
1:06:00
And then I'm going to ask this just, you know, to see if
1:06:03
anybody wants to shed more blood.
1:06:06
We can just take everything else that's on the table, the the
1:06:10
last one's day sleeper, everybody hurts and drive which
1:06:15
that's the easy way out. Or somebody can stick up and
1:06:19
vouch for a three at this point. Do you want to take the easy way
1:06:23
out, John? No wolves lower I think.
1:06:28
Because everyone should have asked Chris.
1:06:33
All right, I, I, I, I wouldn't even going back like I wouldn't
1:06:37
have put walking a freight on there over some of these songs.
1:06:42
All right, Peter, John has posited wolves lower.
1:06:49
Well, let me before I move on to Peter.
1:06:52
If if you're going with wolves lower, which one of those three
1:06:57
that are remaining would you drop, John?
1:07:01
I would drop walk on a freight. Yeah, I'm good with that.
1:07:08
All right, so John's positing dropping walk on afraid out of
1:07:14
unanimous. But that means that Bay Sleeper
1:07:19
has to go in, right? Yeah.
1:07:24
It's like a domino. Yeah.
1:07:27
So if we're taking walk on a freight back out, then everybody
1:07:34
agrees day sleeper, right? No.
1:07:37
Yeah. No, no.
1:07:39
No, absolutely not. No, I would say no.
1:07:46
Walk unafraid and move slower and cut day sleepers.
1:07:55
All right, Brian. I'm still trying to give a way
1:08:02
to get Sidewinder back in the. Conversation.
1:08:04
Me too. Actually, me too.
1:08:06
I love that. I I thought that was already off
1:08:09
the table. I really love that film.
1:08:11
Well, I mean, look, here's what I'll say.
1:08:14
Again, I don't want to get hurt again.
1:08:18
Hey, I'm fighting with you this time.
1:08:20
I I I said I said we should just take all 5 from automatic and.
1:08:25
Like when I say last week hurt. Like like I'd lost sleep last
1:08:30
weekend over fucking radio song. Give me care.
1:08:36
Care asked one. Thing So if so John, John is
1:08:48
still has positive wolves lower. No two people completely
1:08:53
disagreed with walking afraid coming out of the list.
1:08:58
So that means either we just move forward and take the three
1:09:05
and wolves lower is done for the day.
1:09:10
And I mean, this is majority rules situation.
1:09:14
Gavin agreed with getting wolves lower in there.
1:09:18
Chris agreed with getting wolves lower back in, but dropping day
1:09:21
sleeper to do it. Where are you at on this, Brian?
1:09:29
I know, I know, you said, you know, just take all the
1:09:31
automatics, but yeah. Yeah, take the automatics and
1:09:37
walk on Afraid and Day Sleeper. So well, I mean, if that's if
1:09:43
that's true, then you would vote just take the three that are
1:09:47
left day sleeper, everybody hurts and drive and beep and
1:09:49
call it a day. You guys like drive better than
1:09:52
sweetness follows. Yeah, I had.
1:10:00
Both. I had both said I I would pick
1:10:05
Sweetness follows but drive got the four and I do love drive too
1:10:10
but. Hey, listen, like I, I, you
1:10:15
know, I, I can only, I can only pitch back to you guys what I'm
1:10:18
hearing so. Yeah.
1:10:20
Drive is such a good track, one song like it sets the mood for
1:10:23
that album immediately. Yeah.
1:10:26
That is true and. When the electric guitar comes
1:10:30
in like goosebumps. Yeah.
1:10:41
So where, where are you? Let's just, let's just.
1:10:46
Pull something like crazy. Let's say like Winge.
1:10:53
Where are you at with this Peter?
1:10:54
Cause again, like when it was posited to take walk unafraid,
1:10:58
you said no, you you vetoed that.
1:11:00
Are you team just take the three remaining fours or do you see a
1:11:05
way Wolves lower gets in? Kind of leaning towards just
1:11:13
taking the fours as much as I like wolves lower.
1:11:17
Yeah. But I mean, at the same time,
1:11:21
I'm still upset about at my most beautiful only getting two.
1:11:24
Yeah, like, yeah. See.
1:11:26
That hurt. I know everybody hurts, but that
1:11:31
hurt me, yeah. Sorry, sorry, not sorry.
1:11:36
Yeah, I didn't have it either, so.
1:11:38
It feels like we're not making any headway for me to kind of
1:11:42
direct this, John. OK, so how does it OK, So what
1:11:48
if what if we take day sleeper, everybody hurts and drive, But
1:11:54
then we talk about I mean, because do we need to go through
1:11:58
Because then like if we because if we do lower wolves, I'd be 3D
1:12:02
chronic town song, which is a lot of the five South.
1:12:06
I would say I would rather have lower wolves lower than carnival
1:12:09
storage boxcar. But we could, instead of pulling
1:12:12
off walk on a raid, we could pull off carnival storage, throw
1:12:16
in wolves lower, and then then everybody gets kind of what they
1:12:22
all. Right, So what do you feel about
1:12:26
that losing Carnival sorts Gavin for Wolves lower?
1:12:32
Oh I I I think that Carnival sorts a better song than Wolves
1:12:35
lower, but what about? But I'm OK with that switch.
1:12:42
Does does that get Sidewinder in?
1:12:46
No, no. Yes.
1:12:48
No, that would be. I'm worried.
1:12:52
Yeah. I'm worried about Chris's mental
1:12:55
health so that's. Fair.
1:12:59
I mean, I again, I don't give a shit about day sleeper.
1:13:05
I could see that. I really I didn't dislike it but
1:13:09
it it does nothing for me. That song is important for me.
1:13:13
Like I I worked overnight with. That was a big song.
1:13:16
So let's. Let's Radio song was important
1:13:19
to me and it went in the bin, yeah.
1:13:21
So let's let's start with part Part 1 of this move.
1:13:24
Let's go up with the guilt thread now.
1:13:25
Yeah, right. Let's take carnival sorts out
1:13:28
and move wolves lower in right. Let's do that.
1:13:33
Wait, but is everybody cool with that?
1:13:35
No one wants to like we good that's.
1:13:39
What it says look to me the. Reason I'm good with it is
1:13:42
because it's another song off chronic talent, but I don't
1:13:45
think it's the right choice. But I'm not going to argue it's
1:13:48
fine. All right, so and then we're
1:13:54
going to take these fours the day sleeper.
1:13:58
Everybody hurts drive, right? Well, can I, can I throw a
1:14:04
wrench in this again? Let's take so I'm, I'm, I hear
1:14:09
like this thing. So I was the I went out on
1:14:13
sidewinder and I kind of, I didn't want to like I didn't
1:14:15
mean to like steamroll it off the list.
1:14:16
Like we didn't really talk about that.
1:14:18
So what if we do everybody hurts and drive and then we talk about
1:14:23
day sleeper versus sidewinder? OK, so.
1:14:25
Oh, one last either or. Anybody against one last?
1:14:31
Either or. Sidewinder.
1:14:36
Yeah. John, do we have any from the
1:14:39
past episodes? Do we have any of their goofy
1:14:42
side that, you know, like their silly side we voted out?
1:14:50
We have we have Rockville, which maybe can go with that.
1:14:57
What's the frequency? Kind of could be kind of silly.
1:15:00
What's the frequency? The Great Beyond is a little bit
1:15:04
of that, maybe not a lot. Yeah.
1:15:10
All right. So there's a valid, you know
1:15:13
valid call for it. So let's start with that.
1:15:17
Either or situation majority gets the 10th spot day sleeper
1:15:21
versus sideliner, John. Day Sleeper.
1:15:26
All right, Peter. That's a tough choice,
1:15:36
Sidewinder. All right, Gavin.
1:15:40
That is a really tough song and they're too tough choice and
1:15:43
they're two totally different songs.
1:15:46
I'm going to I'm going to slightly tip towards Sidewinder
1:15:49
on this. Chris.
1:15:53
Sidewinder. And Brian?
1:15:57
Yeah, I'm going to say Sidewinder.
1:15:59
All right, majority rules. Sidewinder finds its way back in
1:16:07
and we are done. Let me read this out.
1:16:10
I mean, it ended up being the bloodbath you thought it was
1:16:12
going to be, John. Those fours didn't get in.
1:16:16
That's for rough. Yeah.
1:16:19
You guys got your run of automatic songs?
1:16:23
Yes, I know. You know I said that 20 minutes
1:16:27
ago. We should.
1:16:31
Wait, hold on, what am I missing here?
1:16:33
Do. We need to talk about
1:16:35
accelerating or just. Hold on, why do I have?
1:16:37
No. Why do you have only 9?
1:16:41
What am I missing? Yeah.
1:16:43
Why do I have 9:00? Night swimming, guarding at
1:16:47
night driver, eight man on the moon, walking afraid.
1:16:51
Maps and legends. Everybody hurts.
1:16:54
Dr. Sidewinder sleeps tonight. Wolves lower.
1:16:59
That's right. I didn't put the second two in
1:17:02
there. That's right.
1:17:05
It didn't register. Boom, boom, boom.
1:17:11
We're making records. Where is it again?
1:17:14

1:17:31
Boom boom boom, a little bloodbathy, but we got there in
1:17:34
the end, John correct. You were very correct in in how
1:17:41
that turned out. But it I mean, in the end,
1:17:45
diplomacy wins. And now that he gets cranked up,
1:17:49
yeah, for for the finals next week.
1:17:53
I don't know how I'm going to take 15 songs out of this.
1:17:55
That's going to be excruciating and painful.
1:17:59
So actually do I have the yeah, I'm going to run these 40 down
1:18:05
and then then I'm going to, I'm going to cut it so.
1:18:09
Wait, we have to pick 15, not 20?
1:18:12
Yes, 15 out of 40. Yeah.
