  SPEAKER_03: Um well I got a couple things I I wanted to to mention.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_03: We cause we talked about was it last week?
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_03: No, it wasn't last week.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_03: It was a couple weeks ago.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_03: Um in the in season four that we were talking about um uh Led Zeppelin.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_04: And how I'm still amazed that we didn't get uh shot down or got that podcast yanked off the air.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_04: That too.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_04: Um I just I I I I still, you know, I was half expecting for that episode to get pulled because we played Led Zeppelin songs without the written express, you know, consent of Led Zeppelin and Major League Baseball.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, and and and they're one of the biggest Rip Biotto talks about this all the time.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, exactly.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_04: I mean he's tried to do episodes of their songs and they just you know take them down.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_03: And I don't understand why.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_04: I don't either.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, wouldn't you want your songs out there?
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_03: I I would think you would.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_04: You want people to discover you.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, you know.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_03: Not that they need discovering.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_04: No, but I mean, even you know, there's kids coming up that don't know Led Zeppelin, that don't know the Beatles, that don't know the rolling stuff.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_04: This is absolutely you need to you need to get your, you know, get these music this music out there.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_03: What I was what I was talking about though, because we mentioned that um kind of in a joking manner, but true, that Led Zeppelin was one of the biggest thieves.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_03: You wouldn't call them thieves because or they wouldn't call themselves thieves because they were paying tribute and they were they were reimagining the classic songs.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_03: But a lot of people and and I have to dispel this myth because like um a lot of the songs that they did that people think, oh Led Zeppelin, that you know, they're amazing.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_03: Which they were for their for what they did.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_03: Like Gallows Pole.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_03: Uh it's a great song.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_03: It's a cover.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_03: It's a cover of an old blues song.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_03: Um but people think that they did it.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_03: They they made it their own, for sure, but it's a cover.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_03: So I found this thing on ultimate classicrock.com.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_03: Um they do a thing uh called uh Story Behind the Song Um and they're tackling Led Zeppelin right now.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_03: When the Levee Breaks.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_03: Now, when you think of Le When the Levy Breaks, you think of that.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_04: I think of Beastie Boys.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_04: Do you?
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_04: Why could they sample it?
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they sampled the drum beat.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_04: Well, everybody?
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_04: It was off the Oh Sabotage.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_04: It was No, no, no, it wasn't Sabotage.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_04: It was uh it was off the uh license to ill album.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_04: Was it?
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_04: Uh I can't remember the name of the I can't remember the name of the song.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_04: Slow it wasn't slow and anyway, everybody sampled it.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_03: But you think of that drum intro.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_03: The John Bonham.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_03: And I'll tell you a little story about that because um they wanted to make the song into a trance because this, believe it or not, is the original.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_03: Memphis Mini.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, it is a woman.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: Let it go to pray.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_03: Now you you could argue that a lot of blue songs like this are a tr are kind of a trance anyway.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_03: You know, but the whole idea according to Jimmy Page was to make it into a trance.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, if you notice, something new is added to every verse, and I guess I never paid attention to that before.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_03: Um, the phasing of the voice changes, lots of backward stuff is added.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_03: At the end, uh everything starts moving around, but the vocal always stays the same, it always stays stationary.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_03: Uh and he and so John Bonham's drum performance.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I wonder if I could play that.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_03: So that drum sound took a lot of work.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_03: Um so the rest of the band went out for a drink.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, and Andy Johns, the late great Andy Johns, stayed behind with John Bonham and they were working on it.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_03: It was not getting the sound that he wanted.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_03: So Andy Johns got his drum got the drums, put them in the hallway, and then put rhyming and stealing.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_04: Jesus crow.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, was that really bothering you?
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, it was bugging me.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_04: I couldn't remember.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_03: Um, they put his drums in the hallway, put two MI60 mics from the staircase, and pointed them towards the kit.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_03: So, like, not c not up close.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_04: Uh his well, a lot of a lot of your really great drum sounds come from atmospheric money, of course.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_04: Which is which is really interesting.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_04: Of course.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, he says his kit was very well balanced internally.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_03: Each drum's uh volume was consistent with the others.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_03: Um and he said that um he put he put the output through two channels on the uh mobile studio and compressed them.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_03: And he said he I remember sitting there thinking it sounded utterly amazing, so I ran out of the truck and said, Bonzo, you've got to come in and hear this.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_03: He said, Well, that's it.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I've been hearing.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_03: So it's that drum sound that's what John Bonham.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_04: It's a very distinct.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_04: Well, John Bonham is a very distinct drum sound anyway, but this one is special.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, uh Alex Van Halen wanted that drum sound on the uh for Unlawful Carnival Knowledge album, so they brought Andy Johnson.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_03: Anyway, I just thought it was an interesting story.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_03: Um, especially the fact that it was it was a cover.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_03: And Gallows Pole was a lead belly song, by the way.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_04: Leadbelly, yeah.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, there we go.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_03: I just thought it was kind of an interesting story, and you could read it on ultimate classicrock.com uh if you're so inclined.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_03: But um they they've been doing uh a behind the song behind the song for I think they're on Led Zeppelin now, they but they kind of do a a different thing for different artists.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_04: That's cool.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_04: I like that.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_04: I like I like learning the uh you know the ins and outs, right?
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_03: Ins and outs of songs and stuff like that, yeah.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_04: Yep, I agree.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_04: Especially the big ones.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_04: Like uh when Rick Beato did the whole he does that uh he breaks down like popular songs, like when he did Boston's uh More Than a Feeling.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_04: I mean he I mean he broke it down into different, you know, different tracks.
• 14:05

• 18:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.

• 19:26
  SPEAKER_04: Uh 50 artists from Maine?
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_03: You we won't know like half of them.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I was supposed to say, I probably um because I imagine who was them either.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of them are Portland based bands that they're not they're not like mainstream bands, but they're these are ranked.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_03: It's from ranker.com.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.

• 19:48
  SPEAKER_03: I'll give you another I'll give you uh one.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_03: Um the number one main band was Rustic Overtones.

  SPEAKER_03: But let's do the Common Crossing song of the of the week.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_03: So what I thought we would do is because we're we're we're running out of songs.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_03: And hard to believe.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_03: As many songs as we have, it's hard to believe.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I mean, we've done seventy-something episodes.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_03: True.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_03: You know, and of course we we didn't start doing the Common Crossing song of the week until It was late in the season one.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_03: It was late in the season one, yeah.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_03: So what were you gonna say?

• 36:10
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know what's going on.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_03: So, um we we were gonna do the I mean, I thought it would be kind of cool to do um a song that we have not recorded yet, uh, called She Comes to Dance, which is written for a good friend of ours, yes, Angie.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_03: Um but you were right in pointing out that you don't get the full effect unless the the whole band is playing it.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that especially that song.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_04: I mean a lot of our songs are we wrote them acoustically.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_04: But this one I don't think we did acoustically.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_04: No, we didn't.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_04: This was like Yeah.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_04: This was like at a you know, we were like.

• 36:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_03: And that's because she just she loves uh us uh as as a band and she just loves us as people.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_03: And we love her.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 36:56
