Transcript
- 0:33Program. The podcast where we try to get
- 0:35you into a band. That's right.
- 0:37We have done all the work for you and my home.
- 0:41I have we done the work for you. It's all going to be okay
- 0:45because that's their still song. We're doing Modest Mouse today
- 0:49and strangely I think technically, Matt Wade, put put
- 0:55Modest Mouse on the board. And I think it was after The
- 0:58Flaming Lips episode, I think both Matt and Peter were like,
- 1:01yeah, let's do monster. Smouse, we put the panel
- 1:04Together. Matt didn't Matt.
- 1:06No showed it, scheduling snafu and and we lost Peter last
- 1:12minute. So now, you officially become
- 1:16second chair, Christina. So Modest Mouse honored, Modest
- 1:22Mouse, tell me about it. You know, you jump, you jump
- 1:25onto the Modest Mouse panel, what is the better about Modest
- 1:27Mouse? And, you know, how will how hard
- 1:31did you have to work? You know, gosh, so this this
- 1:36panel was when I was first deciding to join deprogrammed.
- 1:41I put my name down on a bunch of bands, right?
- 1:43Out the gate back in April of 2020 if that sounds right.
- 1:50And Modest Mouse was one of the ones that was in the handful
- 1:52that I've then they've been a band that I've loved since I was
- 1:58in Middle School and You know, you you have a different
- 2:03relationship with bands as you grow up and as you change and
- 2:06I've seen them now three times and seeing them that's really
- 2:09changed, my perception of them as a band.
- 2:11And my partner, Adam, I asked him when we first started
- 2:16dating, I was like, what's your favorite band of all time and he
- 2:19told me Modest Mouse. So it just kind of like
- 2:21solidified that I wanted to do this band just to talk about
- 2:26music that he loves and music that I've Loved forever.
- 2:28But Oh boy a doozy. We'll talk about that in the
- 2:31making our list section. But yeah, this this band has a
- 2:36song for every moment, you know. Yeah.
- 2:40Now I talked about, you know, the list, getting Bound for the
- 2:44panel, getting bounced around a lot.
- 2:45Let's talk to the man who's responsible for getting them
- 2:48bumped up up to the top of the list.
- 2:50The reason, the reason it got put into motion.
- 2:53Adam you jumped in and you signed up for a couple bands,
- 2:57this being one of them talk to me about Modest Mouse.
- 2:59What? Why is this the first time you
- 3:02hear? Why Modest Mouse?
- 3:06Well, Justin, thanks for the introduction.
- 3:08I think what is best to me? Is my favorite band.
- 3:13I first heard them in 97-98, I think and her trailer trash on a
- 3:19radio show about new albums and never heard it mother spouse
- 3:24before, tried to find the CD and couldn't find it.
- 3:29And then I I sort of forgot about them to be honest for
- 3:34quite a few years until float on.
- 3:38They don't get a lot of AirPlay in Australia so it took a while
- 3:42for me to get back into into them but once I did, I became
- 3:45pretty obsessed, to be honest. So listen to your show quite a
- 3:49few times and I love the show and I was really excited to be
- 3:54able to come on and talk about Modest Mouse and I think it's
- 3:58the music and the lyrics and the influences.
- 4:02I think pavement and pixies, it's or two of my other favorite
- 4:06bands and certainly big influences of Modest Mouse,
- 4:09especially early on. Yeah, absolutely.
- 4:14So my relationship with Modest Mouse.
- 4:16It's funny Tina. You said you've seen them three
- 4:18times. I had one chance to see them
- 4:21live in 2007. They were at virgin Fest and
- 4:26guess who they were playing at the same time as anybody tell me
- 4:31it's Do you know, obviously? How do you sleep was there but
- 4:38it wasn't them. All of the guys Built to Spill.
- 4:42Nope, well, I'll take the guesswork out of it, because it
- 4:49was the right. It was the reason I was there.
- 4:52The reason I was in Maryland was to see the Smashing Pumpkins for
- 4:55the first time ever, and I should have known and the
- 4:59Smashing Pumpkins are playing. I'm seeing them for the first
- 5:02time ever there on the reunions to where they just had just
- 5:04gotten back together. And they were touring Zeitgeist,
- 5:09and as they're playing, I hear Modest Mouse behind me, I'm
- 5:13like, well, I guess I'm not seeing Modest Mouse tonight.
- 5:15I mean, there was definitely, one of the bands that I was
- 5:19looking forward to seeing because, so, 07 I mean by the,
- 5:23by that time, good news had been out for a little while, but so
- 5:32I'll encapsulate it with this before we move on to the next
- 5:35segment. Good news was all I knew from
- 5:38them but good news was when I got it.
- 5:44I was fully enveloped by that album like I completely was
- 5:49owned by that album. I could not stop listening to it
- 5:54and I listened to it so much that my wife got into it and we
- 6:00still like every once in awhile, we busted out and if it makes it
- 6:03into the CD player, it doesn't come out for a While it still
- 6:07has that effect on me but you know, more on that as we get
- 6:10into this next level, you said something.
- 6:14When you first came on Christina, we, when we were
- 6:16talking, you know, just kind of leading up to the show and you
- 6:21said, you were really feeling the we're going to do the work
- 6:25for you with this. So I take it that this 20 was
- 6:29not very easy for you. No, I didn't think it would be
- 6:34with, with a band that I've Loved for so long.
- 6:37I've done this show enough times with bands that I love that.
- 6:40I should know better. but, especially with the band with
- 6:46such a wide discography as its It's so hard to narrow it down
- 6:51to songs that you think are going to serve the purpose of
- 6:53this show. And I think I did that, I don't
- 6:59necessarily have my favorite songs on my list and I think
- 7:04that that is the hard part of making a list, you have to kind
- 7:09of separate yourself, but this this album representation is a
- 7:14little interesting for me. I don't have it super even but
- 7:19that early stuff I think speaks more to me now as an adult than
- 7:23it did when it you know, its first hitting my ears when I was
- 7:26in Middle School in high school. But I just saw the Lord, some
- 7:31crowded West 25th anniversary tour about a month and a half
- 7:34ago and it changed that album for me and By early, sorry.
- 7:37Genitals it was it was really, really great and definitely
- 7:42changed my view on a lot of songs.
- 7:46Justin is it sounds different when you hear it live?
- 7:49But on the album something that I've kind of noticed about the
- 7:53early stuff. Is that the about them?
- 8:06Go out rose that they feel kind of like introspective and
- 8:08thoughtful but you need the time to sit and listen to them and I
- 8:13don't think that those songs are going to be the songs that get
- 8:15somebody interested in this band unless you're fully ready for a
- 8:1910 and a half minute. Explosions in the Sky Type.
- 8:25Instrumental, look at every depressive thought you've ever
- 8:28had. So it's sifting through that to
- 8:33get to the meat of it. I think that was really tough
- 8:35and to listen to it seven hours in a row, got real sad.
- 8:40So maybe don't don't listen to the early stuff all in row.
- 8:45Yeah, but I got there, you know, I went with my gut and I'm
- 8:48pretty happy with my list overall.
- 8:51So this being your first time here, Or Adam, you know,
- 8:55Christine, and I were talking. I they said, you know, about all
- 9:00the work and I kind of tagged it with it's very, I know even
- 9:03thought about it. It's very much Winter Music.
- 9:06You were telling us that you were, you were adding stuff like
- 9:09as he were going on. So yeah.
- 9:11So how did you go about with your you're making your first
- 9:14list for this? Some my first, my very first cut
- 9:19was 51 songs and I think I had about 15 That I was trying to
- 9:24get into that 51 so that was a really good start.
- 9:28I did then get down to 20 reasonably quickly thinking that
- 9:33I do my homework and get there but then started adding songs
- 9:37back in. So, and my final 20 looks
- 9:40different than my first 20. If that makes sense.
- 9:44But I probably might have we might have a few differences of
- 9:50opinion because I've probably been slightly more selfish than
- 9:52my song. Ian, I have been thinking a
- 9:55little bit about what the experience would be for a new, a
- 10:00new listener, but I can just kind of get past some of that
- 10:03that earlier stuff. And and I do I have a bit of a
- 10:08suck up, some of the longer longer songs, to be honest.
- 10:11I'll fit the epicness of those songs so that that probably not.
- 10:19Sorry. Yeah, I'll good good.
- 10:21We we might find each other but we might not get to so many
- 10:24wonderful chains. Yeah.
- 10:28But I thought I was trying to get a bit of a reasonable album
- 10:36representation, but that sort of didn't really pan out without
- 10:40giving away too much yet. It didn't pan out the way I
- 10:43thought it would. And there's one album in
- 10:45particular that I really absolutely love and only only
- 10:49got two songs through to the end because most of their other
- 10:52songs sort of fit in that 20 to 30 range for me.
- 10:55So I still love them. But they're just not quite in
- 10:58their top 20 but I hope we I think we can come up with a good
- 11:02list to get someone into the band though because there's such
- 11:04a great so much for for everyone there.
- 11:07I reckon. So I think my process was rather
- 11:12similar to yours - the adding more songs in.
- 11:15I'm a grizzled that I've done. I've done 300 something to these
- 11:20so I know better. Yes I will keep the state
- 11:24finally, that's for sure. But um, so There's a point with
- 11:29this band where you're going through like, as I'm going
- 11:33through that first pass and I'm not making very many Cuts, I'm
- 11:36not dropping anything in like shit.
- 11:38This, this is already bad and my first pass just like you, I
- 11:42think I said 51. I mean, it it's some, it was
- 11:45somewhere in that range, which we left.
- 11:48I think an album, maybe two out, so get fat sloppy, sucker off
- 11:54and never, right? And so and strangers to
- 11:56ourselves. We left off as well.
- 11:58Okay, so we have. Yeah.
- 11:59So we we had 100 of we still had 100 songs though even after
- 12:04taking those out 115. Yeah, girl.
- 12:07So, every bit of a numbers guy. So yeah.
- 12:09So you know, as you're going through like I was only able to
- 12:13cut 51 and so like then it's that that refinement.
- 12:19The set the second go-around and I'm realizing to Christina's
- 12:22point, I'm cutting songs that I love like that, I didn't think
- 12:28The I didn't think there's no chance that this doesn't make my
- 12:31list. And like, so many great songs
- 12:34just hitting the floor. And I'm like, oh no, like this.
- 12:38I mean, the whole thing is like, trying to figure out, you know,
- 12:43which way do I? I point a person that wants to
- 12:47go ahead and make this list or make make this leap and so,
- 12:52like, I had that a lot in my mind and I found myself leaning
- 12:57towards The earlier stuff because I feel like if you can,
- 13:01if you can gravitate towards that, then everything from good
- 13:06news on will be easy, like you'll automatically get there.
- 13:12So like again, yeah, I had to fight myself over good news
- 13:18because my first pass I'm just like, yes, yes, yes yes yes,
- 13:21yes, yes yes, yes. And then like as I'm going
- 13:24through it, I'm like, man, I I love this but I feel like I can
- 13:30get this sound when they were still figuring it out.
- 13:34And like I said, just so many greats Tunes just hitting the
- 13:39floor and making me really, really sad.
- 13:45I also want to point out at this point, Peter has sent us his
- 13:48list so that we can use it for any kind of tiebreaker
- 13:52situations if needed. I feel like he can make, he can
- 13:56make a 2, a 3 or a 3 or 4. He can't make anything
- 14:02unanimous. So like he can't, he can't make
- 14:06a wanna to. So like, basically, he can bump
- 14:09bump up to into the conversation or a three to the top of the
- 14:15list. I think that's how we'll do
- 14:16that. But um, based on everything
- 14:19we've said so far, Tina, what are you thinking?
- 14:22Because this, this way, Go a million different ways for the
- 14:26for the final say, what do you think?
- 14:27How many, how many do you think we'll get through unanimously?
- 14:31You know, I have tried in the new year to be a more positive
- 14:35person I'm going to say. So there's a there's a lot of a
- 14:41lot of music here and a lot of variables with having a
- 14:47first-person like a first time doing your panel, you know.
- 14:52Because I know, you know you but I I feel like it'll be a
- 14:58learning experience. I'm going to say for or
- 15:01optimistically. Okay.
- 15:03Okay, I like that. What do you think?
- 15:06Adam? When we had a panel of four
- 15:10sitting here, thinking a very large number because like I said
- 15:14before, 115 songs and I think there's an argument to be made
- 15:18for probably 60 to be in someone's top 20, at least maybe
- 15:22even 70 of the song. So, But with only three of us on
- 15:29the on that I think I might even go a little bit more.
- 15:31Mr. Can say 5, all right, all right.
- 15:35Yeah, I I agree with you. I feel like I don't think we're
- 15:38going to tear it up. I don't think we're going to
- 15:40burn it up. I don't think it's going to be
- 15:41like an 8 or 9, you know. I just think there's just too
- 15:45many too many songs to be able to, to all land on eight or nine
- 15:52for seems like the right number. I think, I think Tina may have
- 15:55Nailed it. But um I think she wanted to I
- 15:58think I got so the question is do I go more optimistic than
- 16:01Adam or do I go? Pessimistic to Tina.
- 16:10I'm shoot six feels too high, but I'm going to go six.
- 16:15It feels too high but I'm going to go I'm going to go optimistic
- 16:18because I want people to think optimistically about this band.
- 16:21So we're going to take a quick pause and when we return, we
- 16:25won't play the game. It's the program.
- 16:31Kickstart your road to Fitness with the hard work, Works,
- 16:33fitness app for all ability levels full gym.

- 16:59succeed, and join the hustle today.
- 17:04And with that, the name of the game is deprogrammed, the three
- 17:08of us have, combed through most of Modest Mouse discography and
- 17:11plucked out 20 songs that we're now going to mash together in an
- 17:14attempt to create a top 10 circuit for you.
- 17:16In case you have never given Modest Mouse a chance.
- 17:21I've actively avoided playing this song for this reason, on
- 17:30several of the most recent episodes of the program because
- 17:33I feel like it was my wheelhouse, but I feel like it's
- 17:37fitting with this band. There's nothing much.
- 17:40I love more than pushing play on a playlist and knowing
- 17:44immediately what I'm getting into.
- 17:46So I've got Dramamine. Yep.
- 17:51Yes. There we go.
- 17:53I felt it. Feels like a gimme.
- 17:55Um, here let me, let me cue it up here.
- 18:03Says it's on the Mac, is it? It's one of those songs you
- 18:06never get sick of and it does everything you wanted to do.
- 18:14As the second, these guitar, these guitars come in.
- 18:17I like yep, that's in. Like I had an idea of what
- 18:22Modest Mouse was going to be based on, you know, based on
- 18:26good news what I knew about them already and so when this sounds
- 18:31like earlier, good news. I'm like, okay, yeah, this this
- 18:34has to be in. There was never a doubt when I
- 18:40came back to it. Like I said, I hate being
- 18:43predictable. When it comes to that reason.
- 18:48But if it's right, it's right. And for the record Peter would
- 18:53have made that unanimous as well.
- 18:54So like it, this was getting in no matter what?
- 18:58Yes, so, all right. Well then That is a good start.
- 19:04I feel. I feel good about that.
- 19:06Is that the end though? I guess we're about to find out
- 19:11what teenagers? Christine, oh, where you going
- 19:14to start? I didn't make my list in album
- 19:17order this time Walker. I know, I put it, I led with my
- 19:25heart and it's in mostly hard to order.
- 19:30So I'm going to start with third planet.
- 19:34Yes, me too. I got it.
- 19:37Wow, well I got it. What?
- 19:41No there's there's something God.
- 19:48What is it? The universal shaped exactly
- 19:51like the Earth. 20 straight long enough.
- 19:53You'll end up where you work. I hate when.
- 19:58So the problem obviously, when you have this much music is
- 20:03other than the songs that I already knew, I couldn't Deep
- 20:07dive that far into the lyrics. Don't worry, I did for you - do
- 20:13I have this song is just so beautiful and so I just always
- 20:21get a really good feeling after this in the song.
- 20:23If even though, I think it's a real sad elements to it as well.
- 20:28They played this one at the the show back in December, and it
- 20:32was so good. I think hearing it with the, you
- 20:37know, lens of adulthood where I'm at now.
- 20:39I'm in my 30s now and the first time I heard this song, I was
- 20:43definitely not. And I think you have a different
- 20:48lens on it. Hmm.
- 20:50Now versus then yeah, it was really good.
- 20:54It's funny, as I listen to this now and it's like I would have
- 20:57been into this now but to further your point, I would have
- 21:00been into it. But I think at surface level
- 21:04like you know just because I think it sounds cool.
- 21:09Whereas now there's something as I'm listening to it, it's more
- 21:12in my bones. Like I may not have been
- 21:14absorbed. Lyrics.
- 21:16But like I I think that that is like the core of why, why?
- 21:22I was attracted to some of these songs.
- 21:26I think I think with the lyrics A lot of these songs they're so
- 21:31dense. And so so much imagery that you
- 21:35could almost do a book club on each something and you'd have
- 21:39different opinions and it'll be right and that all be wrong.
- 21:42It's just so so so much in When you really get into the lyrics,
- 21:47I also want to point out that yet again, if Peter was here,
- 21:51this would have been unanimous as well.
- 21:54So that says, something else that says something about the
- 21:57strength of these two songs like that this deep as discography,
- 22:02those two would have been in no matter what.
- 22:04So all right, Adam. No pressure.
- 22:10The fact that we got to unanimously first but no
- 22:12pressure on its object it to go with another one that I think
- 22:18could be a slam dunk. But I white at this point, I'm
- 22:24going to go with one of my personal favorite songs which
- 22:28could easily end up hitting the floor.
- 22:32So And that is, it is on loads of crowd of West bankrupt, on
- 22:37selling know. I had, I had to cut it.
- 22:44Okay. One, two, three, four, five,
- 22:49six, seven, eight, nine, ten songs off of one, some credit
- 22:52West in my original palette which I think I did.
- 22:57I had I had 11. Yes, yeah.
- 23:04Okay. I just absolutely love and the
- 23:07lyrics again, all the apostles sitting there sell as sitting in
- 23:13swing sounded. So off their Savior for a set of
- 23:15new Rings. Just just an amazing song all
- 23:21about greed and a beautiful song.
- 23:23But is that which one was it talking shit?
- 23:29Bankrupt. Okay.
- 23:35It's one of three. Yeah well I mean it was bound to
- 23:43happen friend. I'm I'm yeah, I mean if here's
- 23:50one thing that you're learning on your very first episode,
- 23:53never lead with your favorite, you wait.
- 23:56Yeah you wait for the heartache later.
- 23:59I think the heartache was coming no matter what though on an
- 24:02episode like this. There's just there's just It so
- 24:04much. I'll rip the Band-Aid off early.
- 24:07Yeah, yeah, so I mean, I don't some people play that way, some
- 24:10people would prefer prefer that and then there's no more pain,
- 24:13the rest of the, the rest of the way.
- 24:14So all this pudding welp I become absolutely.
- 24:20Oh, okay. He was a song that was even
- 24:29though I knew it, I'm going to good news.
- 24:31Here was a song that was on my radar to get in, but I assumed I
- 24:37was going to end up cutting and I had it Square against another
- 24:40song. That feel felt like technically
- 24:46should have been a slam dunk, but isn't this one might not be
- 24:49one. And I might be saying entirely,
- 24:51too much for our song that maybe nobody else has, but I got
- 24:56Bukowski. Yes.
- 25:01So there's a reason I don't have Bukowski, I cut it, okay?
- 25:07But it's because there is a term in it that technically, I
- 25:13probably wouldn't sing out loud in this day and age.
- 25:18You know, this happened to me yesterday, um, with Dire
- 25:21Straits. Your boy, I'd probably needs to,
- 25:24like, turn his hearing aid on or something.
- 25:27Like, I don't know how I keep missing these things.
- 25:30It's quite embarrassing frankly I try to be on top of that
- 25:34stuff. It's like a it said one time and
- 25:38it's not like you know it's not like a like a slur necessarily.
- 25:42It's just something that I like wouldn't necessarily like say
- 25:45out loud but like the wind who would want to be such an
- 25:49asshole. I mean yeah I get it but like
- 25:54there's yeah it's in one of the verses I'll send it in the chat
- 25:57later but that's why I cut it. I love That song, but I just
- 26:02didn't want it to be like, oh, I was ignorant of like some, some
- 26:07things that we used to say that we just don't say now, with,
- 26:09with the knowledge and the growth that we've done, you
- 26:15know, for the record it would have been too no matter what
- 26:18Peter does not have that one. So he can't, it doesn't bump up
- 26:21to a three. It's hanging by a thread, but
- 26:24it's still alive. All right, Christina. so, I also
- 26:35really love good news for people who love bad news.
- 26:37I think that that record like Introduce a lot of people to
- 26:42Modest Mouse. Like we're talking about before
- 26:45this, I'm in like the early aughts when this was like Coming
- 26:50out and was the thing to listen to you.
- 26:51So I am going to throw one out there off of good news.
- 26:57And play bury me with it. Oh yeah.
- 27:06Okay, let's get to I love the song.
- 27:08I love it though. It's beautiful song.
- 27:10So I absolutely love that in that one, that one felt like a
- 27:16slam dunk but as I was listening earlier, I thought, let me
- 27:21retract. I thought that one was me just
- 27:26being so tied to that record but when you listen to the rest of
- 27:30the discography, yes, it's it's an evolved version but it Also I
- 27:35feel like it really encapsulates.
- 27:38Well, what they do and then watch your please bury me when
- 27:46I'd like that has stuck with me since the first time I've heard
- 27:49it. Like, there's random times in my
- 27:52life, where that line just, that part will just pop into my head
- 27:56and I'll be like, well, damn. That must be good.
- 27:59So, yeah, the, the vocals in that song, Especially I mean,
- 28:05it's, I say this a lot about a lot of different vocalists were
- 28:09like, Certain certain vocals are just not for you and I think
- 28:15that Isaac Brock is one of those people that like, has a very
- 28:18distinct voice that's just not for everybody.
- 28:22But like for the people he is for this song shows off why he
- 28:27is for you. Absolutely.
- 28:30Yeah and it's definitely channeling Frank black hole but
- 28:33Francis a fair bit there too I think times.
- 28:36Yeah. And I also I like I like the
- 28:40weird like it's not a direct call guitar, like it's dangling
- 28:48thing. Any, like I even me saying like
- 28:50that isn't doing it justice like it's it's kind of weird and not
- 28:55necessarily off-tempo but it feels off Tempo and there
- 28:59there's just a feeling to it and then then you put those words
- 29:02over it and it's like this is very Modest Mouse.
- 29:05This this works for me so it feels kind of dissonant.
- 29:08Yes. Precisely precisely exactly
- 29:12that. That was the word I was looking
- 29:13for. All right.
- 29:16It's got a to it's an it ain't dead.
- 29:19Adam I caiied up to the T again. Hopefully, I'll get something
- 29:24this time. I'm going to stay on let's and
- 29:26create a waste. And I think I think one of the
- 29:30things I love about modest Mouse's, there!
- 29:32They're opening songs are just so amazing and we've really got
- 29:35to through so I'm hoping that T5 God's shoeshine gets through to.
- 29:41Yes, yes, yes absolutely. Let's see, well, hold on, let me
- 29:48do it like guns. I see if yes, I got it.
- 29:53That song is so so good. There's no way I would have made
- 29:57this list without them. Yeah.
- 29:59It's I think that's the song that where I actually realized I
- 30:02was deeply going to become deeply.
- 30:04Obsessed with this path. I just, I think, I just sat
- 30:08there in or it's, it's got about four songs in one.
- 30:13It's epic, the twists and turns. Yes.
- 30:16And that whole ability to bring so many ideas into one song.
- 30:21This is incredible. This one looks like Peter didn't
- 30:30have. So this one would have been a
- 30:33three not a for but there's three of us.
- 30:35So it's in to see the the show with the 25th anniversary of
- 30:41loans and credit West where they open with this song and like my
- 30:46partner, Adam might be kind of confusing with the same name but
- 30:49he has love on a smells like his whole life.
- 30:52And the second they start with this song, his face is just lit
- 30:57up and to see you like this album.
- 31:01Start with this song through his eyes.
- 31:03As someone whose love this Dan forever, it was just something
- 31:05that totally changed. Unless it's So good.
- 31:11I think you may have just hit on something that that maybe we can
- 31:14talk about on after the fact. Whoo.
- 31:18Yeah, I mean, ought to ought to think on it.
- 31:21I wonder if I have, I don't know if I have that that specific but
- 31:27I think I probably have something to that effect, okay?
- 31:35But where do I go? There's a there's one other one
- 31:39that feels I'll take, I'll take a swing of something earlier.
- 31:47Exit does not exist. Yes.
- 31:52It was in my top 50 but I don't know.
- 31:56That was my 20th. Wow, barely made it, but it made
- 32:00it made. It barely made it.
- 32:04Like I said, I think instead of looking every time, we'll just
- 32:08use Peters in the next round for like tiebreaker type stuff.
- 32:11If we need it, I think I'm going to look at it for stuff that
- 32:15gets your unanimously just to see if it would be like a true
- 32:18unanimous. But all right, so that's got to
- 32:21its Still around where we at? Anyway, like 33 Eunice.
- 32:28And three in the combo. Okay.
- 32:31That's not bad. Was that?
- 32:33That was my third one. So we're only on round three.
- 32:37All right. Christina.
- 32:40When I sent a photo of my list to my partner earlier he's like
- 32:45interesting. I'm like interesting because I'm
- 32:49surprised you put this song first and then I switched it
- 32:52first or third planet. So this song was originally
- 32:55first on my list and he said, interesting.
- 32:59This is so we'll see how this goes over off of.
- 33:04We were dead before the ship even sink dashboard.
- 33:10No, sorry. Yeah, me neither.
- 33:12I had that on my my first pass made safe.
- 33:18And why wouldn't you? I honestly don't like, I don't
- 33:23think you're wrong here. You know, I know.
- 33:28I'm thinking about it from the again, like I said, in the
- 33:30intro, as I'm thinking it of it from the, what is going to get
- 33:34somebody to listen to Modest Mouse.
- 33:36And so, a lot of like, this kind of music is stuff that's like,
- 33:40absorbable versus like a 10 and a half minute long, which I
- 33:44love, I do, will mention one of those songs later, but like,
- 33:48it's It's got a good vibe to it and it's not super, super long,
- 33:55it's singable. Yeah, I dig it.
- 34:00I think you made a mistake. I think not having it.
- 34:04It's kind of like, jangly a little bit, and it's got a weird
- 34:06horn section. It's like, very modest mousy but
- 34:10still very like approachable. I think if I'm honest, if I'm
- 34:15really honest with myself, so it got radio play, which doesn't
- 34:20necessarily give give it a negative check, but it all it is
- 34:25going to weigh a certain way. When I'm going through stuff but
- 34:32I also it makes me think of like what what Modest Mouse LED like
- 34:37the stuff like. And this isn't like it led to a
- 34:41lot of the four on the floor stuff like it led to a lot of
- 34:44like Of Monsters and Men type of music where it's got the that
- 34:49that boom, boom, boom, bum, bum, drum beat.
- 34:52And again, this is a bad thing not necessarily in.
- 34:56This is a very good version of it.
- 34:57This is actually a great Song, which is why it made my first
- 35:01pass but I you're looking for for the reasons to drop them.
- 35:07I'm like you know what, this is later work.
- 35:10This is this is just, It's gotta go.
- 35:16I guess I'm saying a lot of the I think.
- 35:18Yeah I think I also think that I don't think it necessarily opens
- 35:23the door to the earlier stuff and love and loving the earlier
- 35:26stuff even though I actually do love this.
- 35:28So a great song but there's a lot of people that I've played
- 35:32it to that, like it, but then they don't like out this so
- 35:36maybe, but it's a mess isn't for them.
- 35:38Really in its entirety friends, what we're trying to achieve, I
- 35:41guess for someone getting to the band, you know, I think, I Think
- 35:44It's tricky because I think on its surface.
- 35:47I think Christine is 100%, right?
- 35:49Is it's easily accessible in it, I think it does open the door,
- 35:53but the question is if you open that door with that song, does
- 35:57it Are they open enough to hear what Modest Mouse is?
- 36:04So I mean, I don't think exactly why there's a song later than I.
- 36:07Absolutely didn't even put on my first Passover.
- 36:10God dude, this is hard. Now that will come to that.
- 36:15Maybe I'm sure possibly sure we will.
- 36:18All right. Adam, you're up.
- 36:21Okay, I must study on did before the ship even saying parting of
- 36:27the century sensory. No unfortunately.
- 36:34Nope. Same.
- 36:35Okay. I had a feeling, I think.
- 36:46The last two minutes of this song where it's just someone
- 36:52would take, take your carb something or something, someone
- 36:55will steal your carbon. Some is Like A demented jig of
- 36:59all about, right. It's just that it's crazy song
- 37:03but I just love it. And for the record I did enjoy
- 37:09the last like the the last two line or album that we used or
- 37:14that we included. I didn't take a lot from them.
- 37:21It's not even that they didn't fit.
- 37:22It's just I found myself just in the front end of the
- 37:25discography. So MIA.
- 37:29Um well How about this one? Never ending math equation.
- 37:41Yeah, no, but so close. We're hitting the wall.
- 37:52I honestly hate to say this because like, obviously I would
- 37:57like all of modest Mouse's records, but I like that one,
- 37:59beliefs that album or compilation, the building
- 38:06nothing out of something. Least favorite of the ones that
- 38:11we listen to. It's not that.
- 38:16I didn't like it. Yeah, just that out of the ones
- 38:18that we listen to. It was the one that I cut from
- 38:21the most that one in the last one to look at.
- 38:26This is the one, this is the that's the album for me, which I
- 38:29absolutely love but they're not, not too many are in my top 20.
- 38:34So I've got a lot that's probably in my you know, that 30
- 38:38to 40 range. It is a great, still a great
- 38:42album and feels like an album doesn't feel like a compilation
- 38:44even though it's not actually a studio album.
- 38:47It's really actually feels like an album.
- 38:49I think I wouldn't have even known that.
- 38:51It wasn't until now. So yeah.
- 38:54It's a Compilation, All Right? Nope.
- 38:58Christina isn't it your turn? I just, I put that one.
- 39:02Never-ending you did that one? Yeah, okay.
- 39:05This is my, my brain is all over the place.
- 39:07Okay. Okay so this song actually I've
- 39:14been talking about this a lot is like in any show I've done is
- 39:17that seeing a band Live? Can change how you feel about
- 39:20them and I got to see them perform this song to only like
- 39:2750 people ahead of the show that I saw last month and it
- 39:32absolutely changed the way I felt about this song and now
- 39:36it's in like one of my favorite modest.
- 39:37My songs is paper thin walls. And be a lot of no I'm sorry.
- 39:46I didn't expect this one to go super far.
- 39:49But Please please, please listen to paper-thin walls.
- 39:53It is So it's like, jaunty and upbeat and like exactly what I
- 40:01would want out of like, later Modest Mouse, but like early.
- 40:04Hmm. Yeah, it is a great pop chain,
- 40:07isn't it a little late? Yeah, sorry.
- 40:12My seriously with me, neither. No, I love paper-thin.
- 40:18Hopefully, show that we don't see.
- 40:20It was the perfect way to kick off the show.
- 40:25I mean, this is a good time to remind everybody number one, I
- 40:30recommend whenever listening to these episodes, make a playlist
- 40:34and collect all of the songs, You Know, listen to our 10
- 40:37first, and then listen to the ones that don't make it.
- 40:40But also these first, three records were so hard to cut
- 40:45from. I absolutely so much from them
- 40:49on my first pass. So, I had 25 in the first pass
- 40:55from the first three records. Yeah, I think that's right.
- 40:58Yeah, that's exactly what I had. I think I was just under I think
- 41:04I had like 21 somewhere between 21 and 24 for sure because I was
- 41:08like damn that's like 70 record. Mmm, all right.
- 41:12Adam Let It Go From Here. I might go back to the start
- 41:19long. Drive talking.
- 41:22Shit about a pretty sunset. Absolutely.
- 41:27No probably not. Okay.
- 41:32I got it. It's just an incredible.
- 41:38So I think this is one of the first real epic songs where
- 41:42talked about it before but with so many different sections to
- 41:45the song and different it has a two minute out tried this just
- 41:49incredible that starts you know and with the violins kick in and
- 41:55I just it's just an absolutely jaw-dropping song for me.
- 42:01For bed, it almost falls off. It falls apart to, it's almost
- 42:04like a cola is a collapsing. I like the when they do this,
- 42:07the song sound like they're almost falling apart, but then
- 42:10they pull them back together again.
- 42:13That whole first record has a beautiful collection of strings.
- 42:17Mmm. It really does.
- 42:26Alright, I'm gonna go here. How about heart Cooks brain?
- 42:31No no, it's about 23. I think 23 or 24 for me so close
- 42:38and it was in my list at one point it was one of those ones
- 42:40that got swapped see, you overthinking?
- 42:45It did are probably on, did you in All right.
- 42:51Christina. That's the one that's one for
- 42:53me. That I think the Pixies
- 42:56reference really comes through they and I love the also, loved
- 43:00the church. There's a bit of turntable,
- 43:04scratching in that Sumter, which is pretty cool.
- 43:08I kind of get the feeling that like, the Silversun Pickups
- 43:11sound the way that they do, because Modest Mouse sounded the
- 43:14way that they did Fair. Yeah, I think so, yeah, that's a
- 43:17good cool. Very cool.
- 43:20Then I turn you know, I have to Wade through some of my lonesome
- 43:28crowded West stuff and if it hits the floor, Hit the Floor
- 43:32trailer trash Yes. Okay, nope.
- 43:36But to so To all right, my first song that I had, so I had to put
- 43:45it in hell. Okay, I'll go to the moon and
- 43:54Antarctica and pick tiny cities, cities made of Ashes.
- 44:00Yes, yes, yes. I'll think that song is so good.
- 44:06That's amazing. Such an angry song.
- 44:14All right, I'm so glad that one made it.
- 44:17I don't look like, put it in my 20 because I was so scared.
- 44:20I'd be the only one that loved it.
- 44:24I love that song. That's my favorite record of
- 44:27theirs but Mesa me too. It's so good front to back, so
- 44:32good. I think a lot of the music, so
- 44:40beautiful but this song is, is actually a bit ugly and it's a
- 44:44dude, it's all about the environmental destruction and
- 44:48and what we're doing to the planet and it's heart-wrenching
- 44:53but it's just it's a song that needs to be listened to be now,
- 44:56really For the record Peter had this as well.
- 45:00This would have been a unanimous number one.
- 45:03So so far, the four that are unanimous would have been
- 45:07unanimous. So it's, that is so interesting
- 45:11to see and now that I'm listening to this, I think this
- 45:15might have been more to the point.
- 45:17Why I didn't take dashboard. I know, they're not, it's not
- 45:23Apples to Apples, but like, because it's definitely a
- 45:27different vibe. I'm than dashboard.
- 45:29But like I think it's scratched musically, the same pitch that
- 45:34dashboard does for me tonally. It's obviously different as Adam
- 45:39pointed out. It's kind of ugly and but it but
- 45:43it day both kind of have that Groove to them.
- 45:47So the by the base is just like a listen to that bicycle guy.
- 45:54I love. I love when a song that no one
- 45:57really thinks is going to be unanimous ends up unanimous
- 46:01because it's kind of like this validation of, okay?
- 46:04I was right now it's time for me to be wrong you know, winning
- 46:13attitude? Yes.
- 46:14Well, I'll tell you why because I've got shit look.
- 46:17And that's also the song I'm choosing shit look.
- 46:21Dude, for me to cut shit. Look was painful, I love The
- 46:26Lonesome. Crowded West.
- 46:29I'm sorry. I cut it.
- 46:31You're at a lot chest. You're out of luck just and so
- 46:34here we go. See that sounds so much.
- 46:39Like I said I had 10 from long-term progress, the some had
- 46:42to hit the floor. I think it's appropriate though.
- 46:46That shit luck. I had shit luck with shit luck.
- 46:50Very impressive. All right, Christian.
- 46:57Oh, there's one I want to switch out now.
- 46:58Too late. Too late.
- 47:03Jesus Christ was an only child. No, unfortunately, I cannot save
- 47:09you there. Right.
- 47:14I'm trying to just get rid of the stuff I have iPhones and
- 47:16crowded. West is a lot.
- 47:19Just to get away from it. Okay.
- 47:25It's a monkey. Yep.
- 47:28Sorry Vega now recovered from my first crash on the first round.
- 47:35And I'm going to go with another person.
- 47:36Five. That may not get there, often
- 47:40read an entire to get is lives. Nope, like you said, the cats, I
- 47:55kept five off of that record and that was not one of them.
- 48:00It's just it's one of those songs for me that It's actually
- 48:06a really positive song little wise even though it doesn't
- 48:09sound like it is but it's really to me is talking about not
- 48:12comparing your life to others and just living your life the
- 48:15way you want to live your life and it's just got all those
- 48:18twists and turns that I love about Modest Mouse.
- 48:20Lots of different ideas. All in one song it's just
- 48:24amazing. Beautiful strings as well.
- 48:31I still have 10 left so maybe we'll do a couple more rounds
- 48:34here. I mean, unless we heat up, if we
- 48:36heat up then we'll just keep going.
- 48:37But There's a few still out there.
- 48:44I think that will land on possibly.
- 48:47Maybe possibly, you never know, you know, I didn't even realize
- 48:52how many track ones I had until until I'm looking at the list
- 48:57now, I have a strong fat one band.
- 48:59Absolutely very good tone Setters.
- 49:02How about marching to the Sea? 23 or 24.
- 49:08It was just a cup for me. Unfortunately, I love the song
- 49:12where it was bound to happen. Again I was trying trying to
- 49:23find what works because there's plenty to enjoy off that record.
- 49:29But I was trying to find what fits with what I was trying to
- 49:32do with the band. So And it's also kind of takes a
- 49:38second to get going. All right, Christina.
- 49:47So there is a song that I put in there off of that same record,
- 49:52you were dead before the sugar, even think I put it on my list,
- 49:55and I will play it now because I think it is a better version and
- 50:00example of the song that shall not be named.
- 50:06And I might miss here, I might, because again, it's like a rate,
- 50:10it's like a hit, you know, but missed the boat.
- 50:17You're missing the boat. It really, really like cut for
- 50:22me, it's a great. So it's if the other song makes
- 50:25it into the conversation and this one we are all going to
- 50:29come to blows. I swear.
- 50:34For the record. I actually wholeheartedly agree
- 50:36with you and I'm not, I hope I'm not tipping my hand, but I'm
- 50:40probably tipping my hand. This song does everything that
- 50:44that other song. Does but like where Modest Mouse
- 50:50will still play this song live and they don't want to play the
- 50:52other one. Yeah okay Adam the other one is
- 50:59good, it is but just not as okay, okay?
- 51:09By to let some crowd of West Doing The Cockroach.
- 51:14No. Nope.
- 51:16I feel like you and I have the exact opposite songs off of one
- 51:19process is a little odd that but I love all of them, but it's
- 51:25just so weird. Yeah, we just picked exactly the
- 51:30opposite. One, we have covered a good
- 51:32portion of that record already, but I yeah, it looks like We had
- 51:39teeth like God's so shy. We all got that one.
- 51:42Yeah okay but basically what you're seeing here is what
- 51:50happens when you're doing a panel with 115 songs on it.
- 51:55Like it's there's just a lot to cover.
- 51:57So and where are we? Where are we?
- 52:00Still on Tina's for yes we are. So yeah and actually let's see
- 52:06what We're still not out of the ntp boat.
- 52:10So I mean, there's plenty of plenty of songs left.
- 52:15So all right. This is another this is another
- 52:22thing to Christina's point about the last song they played.
- 52:31I feel like the song that hope may or may not get mentioned.
- 52:37I feel like this song was a better single.
- 52:44It didn't have the same success but I feel like it represents
- 52:48the band a whole lot. Better Ocean, Breeze, salty,
- 52:53Yes, yes. Hey, there we go.
- 52:56Yes. That's a great song.
- 53:00I feel like it's infinitely better than the other one.
- 53:04I agree and lyrically that song is.
- 53:06So let's see if Peter would have made that.
- 53:15You wasted life. Why wouldn't you waste the
- 53:17afterlife? God, how fucking good.
- 53:21Yeah, he's got Ocean Breeze. Salty, too.
- 53:22So that would have been yet another.
- 53:25There we are at five though. Like to go from.
- 53:27You a sad life. Why wouldn't you waves death to
- 53:29end the song with you wasted life?
- 53:31Why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
- 53:32It's just so it's beautiful. It's good.
- 53:48But then it has like so it has this like this awkward Tempo,
- 53:56Modest Mouse thing, but then it slows down in the courses, and
- 53:59it's kind of got these big beautiful guitars and way Venus
- 54:02and the ocean. Like it definitely makes me
- 54:06think of like a ship. It's just something about it.
- 54:11I love it. All right, so Ocean Beach, salty
- 54:15was me. Tina.
- 54:20I'm sick of playing songs off of wanting friend, but I think it's
- 54:26going to miss on all of them. Okay.
- 54:38I didn't do mine in order. So now it's very weird.
- 54:41Um, I came as a wrap off of moon and Antarctica.
- 54:46Hmm. No, it was about my first pass
- 54:50but now I'm pretty sure that, I mean, I don't know what that
- 54:53saying because 50 but I definitely it was on my radar.
- 55:00I don't know where it dropped out.
- 55:02I don't know how or why it dropped out.
- 55:04I think that is just one of those ones that you like Mom.
- 55:07Something's Gotta Go. Something's Gotta Give.
- 55:18And we're covering almost all of this record too.
- 55:23It's all right. Adam.
- 55:26Probably by the cycle. There is a photo of a song
- 55:28explosion, it's really good. Yeah, but you know, you can't
- 55:35fit 15 to 20. I'll stay on the same record.
- 55:40And one of the songs that this thing's got their real epicness
- 55:44to it, and kind of takes you takes you there, the stars are
- 55:50projectors. It was on the first pass.
- 55:59The famous, the famous line I don't have it.
- 56:03It was on I had less than you guys had.
- 56:05It was on my first test. Yeah, so it makes it means that
- 56:08people then All right, so what I think we'll do here.
- 56:14Let me see. One, two, three, four, five,
- 56:20six, seven, eight. Yeah, maybe we'll do two more
- 56:25rounds and then we'll dump out. I think that sounds right.
- 56:30I have to fix. Yeah, so okay.
- 56:33Let's go. I think I've got seven.
- 56:44I think. Yeah, that sounds about, right?
- 56:46So we're all in that same range, so we'll do two more in and then
- 56:49we'll dump. So, where do I go?
- 56:55Where do I go? How about space travel is
- 56:59boring. No, I well, apparently, I'm
- 57:05boring. Who knew?
- 57:10Well, no, don't believe that for a second.
- 57:13I think, I think, most people knew that Justin is boring.
- 57:22There it is right there. That's why I couldn't ignore it
- 57:24because it comes out swinging. Sometimes I'm simple like if if
- 57:29you come out swinging I'm gonna be like oh yeah and that's
- 57:34sometimes reason enough. All right, Christina.
- 57:40I'm going to. Play the only song I picked up a
- 57:44building. Nothing is whenever you breathe
- 57:49out. I breathe in.
- 57:54No, but I love it. You two have got to.
- 58:00I've got to off that one. I'll still see you.
- 58:05Yeah. You know I'm looking at.
- 58:06We have not played much from that.
- 58:08This is only the second song. All right.
- 58:17Find it on this list. I think maybe I didn't even
- 58:23notice it as I was listening to it, but I think I agree with you
- 58:26T. I think this ended up being one
- 58:28that was easy for me to cut from like now that I'm looking at my
- 58:32list. I mean, I definitely have I
- 58:34think two more, but some of these, you know, I'm not
- 58:39remembering at all as I'm looking at it.
- 58:44Excuse me. All right.
- 58:45Um, Adam When I sleep, it might be a what?
- 58:56So, I will leave those for for the dump out of think.
- 59:00So, But I'll go back to Long Drive, Beachside property.
- 59:08I got it. I'm so glad you've got because I
- 59:12know actually, I'm sorry. Are you coming?
- 59:15I cut it. I did have it at one point.
- 59:21Adam was rejoicing, I was a great Thomas, you know, before
- 59:29we get to the dump out, going into the last round, like worst
- 59:32case scenario, the five that have to Sr in.
- 59:35Because they will round out our list so no discussion will be
- 59:39had but this is pretty much how I thought this was going to go.
- 59:46So the fact that we got five is amazing.
- 59:56Let me. How about I'll go back to the
- 1:00:00beginning. How about Ohio?
- 1:00:03No, no. I Ohio
- 1:00:24All right, Christina. I'm really sorry.
- 1:00:28If you can hear the cat meowing, he will not.
- 1:00:33He wants to play. Um, this is sad because I know
- 1:00:39it's like I'll just going to be a letdown There is also an
- 1:00:47honorable mention song. Don't let me forget.
- 1:00:49I have to talk about it, but I don't have a list but the one
- 1:00:53I'm going to play is polar opposite.
- 1:00:59I don't know where I drop that, but it was so so late.
- 1:01:03That that's what does last three songs polar opposite of Polar
- 1:01:10Opposites bankrupt on selling. And start with my boots, it's
- 1:01:14probably one of my favorite three outro songs on an album.
- 1:01:19Styrofoam Booth is yeah, poet. Polar Opposites was one that I
- 1:01:25just couldn't let go. I tried.
- 1:01:33I don't know what you do with these.
- 1:01:34First three records. It's Now I'm listening.
- 1:01:37I'm like yeah I probably should have kept that.
- 1:01:41That's the curse of this show. All right.
- 1:01:44Adam Make sure why. Although go to no one's first of
- 1:01:53your next baby blue sedan. Nope no our past but now Bab
- 1:02:04why? That song is very good, so sad.
- 1:02:12So sad. Yeah, it sounded so it's just
- 1:02:15yeah I'm a sucker for those something.
- 1:02:18I've kind of adjust now we're talking about before you joined.
- 1:02:21Was that like when I was talking about doing the work for you,
- 1:02:25that's really like a lot of it is that it is just a lot of.
- 1:02:28It sounds sad. Yeah.
- 1:02:30Like it's a 50/50 shot. It's like, it's really upbeat
- 1:02:33and loud in your face and like John T or it's like the most
- 1:02:38depressing shit you've ever heard in your life.
- 1:02:40Yeah but in a beautiful way in a way that I'm not using the
- 1:02:43Beautiful All right, so I mean, there's still a chance I suppose
- 1:02:50that we might sneak one here in the dump out, but chances are,
- 1:02:55we're probably at 5, so we'll see.
- 1:02:57All right, so I'm going to start at the top.
- 1:02:59You guys already mentioned it. So maybe that means you don't
- 1:03:02have it. Styrofoam boots.
- 1:03:03It's all a nice. All right.
- 1:03:05Yes, I don't have styrofoam boots.
- 1:03:08It was my last last cut. We officially have a A
- 1:03:15discussion because some at least one song at this point, is now
- 1:03:19going to have to get cut. So Justin and Adam have that one
- 1:03:25that's a to, all right? How about a different city?
- 1:03:30No. That is one of my favorite songs
- 1:03:34that I couldn't keep in the top 20.
- 1:03:38But I absolutely love that song and I just felt like it might be
- 1:03:43too much for a first listening. I thought baby tidy City made us
- 1:03:47better. Bastions was enough for them to
- 1:03:49digest. It's a great it's a great song.
- 1:03:52Yeah. How about great, ice water.
- 1:03:57No, it was in my first passport night.
- 1:04:03It's funny. It's like, I feel like that one
- 1:04:06kind of encapsulates that feeling weird, like not sound
- 1:04:08like song title kind of capsule. Eights Modest Mouse.
- 1:04:15How about other people's lives. Now.
- 1:04:24First pass. I got.
- 1:04:35Two left, Florida. No, no, but it's great.
- 1:04:51It's a really great pop song that one, I think underrated
- 1:04:54song. Yeah, and then the only one I
- 1:04:57took from be very last record. Is, we are between, no, no, no.
- 1:05:05I couldn't get anything on the last record, but it would have
- 1:05:07been more one if I had one. Yeah, I think I took it for that
- 1:05:11sole purposes. I probably should have something
- 1:05:14from this. So I only took one off.
- 1:05:17That record as well, not that one.
- 1:05:20All right, so, It's up to you to get anything else in the
- 1:05:24discussion Tina if you want to dump out.
- 1:05:28Well, I know this will be missed since it's after the last
- 1:05:30record. I think we were lucky and then
- 1:05:35the last three I have other than that are invisible.
- 1:05:43Satin in a coffin. Last is dark center of the
- 1:05:49universe. No.
- 1:05:55Universe. I don't think I've ever had this
- 1:05:59many of my pics at the floor. It's except maybe maybe during
- 1:06:04its rise. I feel like that.
- 1:06:05Yeah, maybe. But I've had 11 hits.
- 1:06:09Yeah. This is just it's it's just
- 1:06:12expansive like it's it's just too easy to get into different
- 1:06:16corners. All right, well, just for shits
- 1:06:20and giggles as it were Adam, do you want to just dump out?
- 1:06:22Whatever you got low, so no one's face and your neck.
- 1:06:26So I broke. And I had the view on the good
- 1:06:35news, little Motel, which is one of the prettiest eyes ever.
- 1:06:47My opinions do. Good to cut that one.
- 1:06:52And spitting Venom on this. Oh my God.
- 1:06:56I screenshotted those two little motel and spitting.
- 1:06:59Venom, we're too that I actually screenshotted when I was
- 1:07:01listening to them in the car Christina.
- 1:07:04I feel like we were so close to hitting each other but not quite
- 1:07:07yeah. We just like circled each other.
- 1:07:13All right, so um I think we just made this easy though, because
- 1:07:19we got five which means Adam, you are going to get the final
- 1:07:22say the five we got in our Dramamine teeth like God's
- 1:07:26shoeshine, third planet tiny cities made of Ashes, ocean
- 1:07:29breeds salty and in the convo. There's only six so exit does
- 1:07:35not exist talking. Shit about a pretty sunset
- 1:07:39trailer trash. Styrofoam boots bury me with it
- 1:07:43in Bukowski. So basically, you can either
- 1:07:48choose which one is out. And we'll just use the other
- 1:07:52five, or you can, we can discuss, which four are in and
- 1:07:58you can pick, you know, something out of out of the bin
- 1:08:01if you'd like, but it's up to you.
- 1:08:05It's your, it's your pick. Wow, it's a lot of pressure.
- 1:08:11All right, let's start with this look.
- 1:08:14Would you rather us discuss for? And then you pick the last one
- 1:08:20or would you rather? Okay, so let's let's figure out.
- 1:08:23Um, I feel like we can do this list without Bukowski at this
- 1:08:30point. I agree.
- 1:08:34We have it originally, but I think that good news for people
- 1:08:37who have bad news while it's a A really great heard.
- 1:08:41It is the record that anybody who casually knows the name
- 1:08:46Modest Mouse would have heard. Hmm.
- 1:08:49That or we were dead. And so like, like you Justin,
- 1:08:53you had heard good news, you had already done that. so if we're
- 1:08:59trying to get somebody deeper into Modest Mouse or to get
- 1:09:03somebody to try Modest Mouse, In a way that they're not already
- 1:09:06familiar with a really good news isn't really going to be the way
- 1:09:09to do it. Let me shift this thing around a
- 1:09:13little bit here to make it easier to read.
- 1:09:16So let's drop the Kowski. So we drop the Kowski, then all
- 1:09:20five of the rest, go in well, technically because Adam has the
- 1:09:2610th pick so if he wants something other than one of
- 1:09:30those five, which I guess would be my next question.
- 1:09:34If you want one of these, Something other than those five
- 1:09:39look, the allowing that pull out of the trash.
- 1:09:42It's also, it's always available.
- 1:09:44I prefer people not do it, but it is always available since
- 1:09:50since we had somebody win the final say I feel like it is up
- 1:09:55to you. Adam if we if we continue
- 1:09:58talking and get four or do you want to just take the five that
- 1:10:01are left? I'm having an us, I'm having a
- 1:10:04good time. So brother, Cates sulking and
- 1:10:09and I think just to try and be a little bit difficult exit does
- 1:10:13not exist, wouldn't be wasn't really even on my top so it was
- 1:10:19leaving any of my passes. So I like the song but I
- 1:10:22wouldn't be putting it on a top 10.
- 1:10:24So if we drop exit, how about we put in talking shit, trailer
- 1:10:31trash and styrofoam foam. So that brings us talking shit
- 1:10:36has to go in. Yep.
- 1:10:37Okay so I mean I was the odd man out on two of those anyway.
- 1:10:44All right? Like, I'm good with, like, I had
- 1:10:46bury me with it on my list, I think that good news has a
- 1:10:51place, but I don't think it needs like a zillion know
- 1:10:57because we only have Ocean Breeze salty, right, right.
- 1:11:01I think what about bringing in some up?
- 1:11:04Is selections. Okay.
- 1:11:05Well to help differentiate perhaps.
- 1:11:08Yeah, let's see what we got here.
- 1:11:11So let's see Dramamine. He had see Black Cadillacs, he
- 1:11:16had which did not make this obviously, hey, he had Florida
- 1:11:19as well. He had pretty sunset and I
- 1:11:23didn't so we already took that one.
- 1:11:27He had trailer trash which I did not.
- 1:11:29So we already put that one trailer trash is great.
- 1:11:31Yeah yeah if he this is a stupid question just because I want to
- 1:11:36talk about this song, did he have truckers Atlas Yes he did.
- 1:11:40Oh God. What I wanted to talk about that
- 1:11:42song, so bad and the only reason I didn't put it on there because
- 1:11:45it's 10 minutes and 57. Yeah, me too me too.
- 1:11:50I love it. It is so beautiful too long.
- 1:11:54He also had little motel and spitting Venom that doesn't
- 1:11:56really help with our our conversations, both are so good.
- 1:12:01I had both of those. Yeah.
- 1:12:03Um, So we're at eight, so basically, we're discussing
- 1:12:08nine. So like we're dropping exit,
- 1:12:11right? So we'll drop exit.
- 1:12:14So, I guess basically it's between styrofoam boots and
- 1:12:18Barry with bury me with it. For number nine, I could I can
- 1:12:25be swayed on either. Technically, wait, hold on.
- 1:12:28Let me make sure my maths, I think my math.
- 1:12:30Yeah, yeah. So as far as start from boots
- 1:12:33go, so I had asked, Screenshot of this song in my phone from
- 1:12:37like a month and a half month ago, maybe where I was and it's
- 1:12:46more like a lot of like service industry folks go and there's no
- 1:12:49windows. It's all carpeted.
- 1:12:50You only pay cash so that kind of late and I screenshotted The
- 1:12:57Touch Tunes, which is just like your jukebox or whatever that
- 1:13:00you can have on your phone and I screenshot it because styrofoam
- 1:13:02boots were plant was playing and to People across the way were
- 1:13:07just belting this song to each other.
- 1:13:10Like not just out loud but to each other having like the best
- 1:13:15time to styrofoam boots. And yeah, there's something
- 1:13:21about it. It's like not a bar song.
- 1:13:22But these two people like made this song Feel so different.
- 1:13:28You know it made it feel like a bar song for a minute.
- 1:13:32I feel you know if it's two songs in 10 it feels like it is
- 1:13:38kind of like a War Pigs. Luke's.
- 1:13:40Wang situation is the way. Yeah.
- 1:13:42Yeah the way it's presented. It seems like to and drownded
- 1:13:47it's like Mafia. I mean that's the hottest.
- 1:13:49Love that line so much. Look, if I'm being honest, I'm
- 1:13:53okay with grabbing both of those and then leaving Adam with his
- 1:13:57number 10. I know we've kind of talked
- 1:14:01circles around, you know, how much do we put through from good
- 1:14:04news? I don't think, I don't think. 22
- 1:14:08songs is taking up too much of the list.
- 1:14:11I agree. So, I feel like if we do
- 1:14:13styrofoam boots and bury me with it, to take us to 9, I think, I
- 1:14:19think. I think we got it.
- 1:14:22All right. What do we have from Antarctica?
- 1:14:26Justin third point and Tiny success and Tiny cities Nash's.
- 1:14:34So, I mean, you know, if album representation matters, let's
- 1:14:39see what do we have? We've got to from Good News 3,
- 1:14:44from Lonesome, to, from moon and to, from this long-distance, our
- 1:14:49long drive, rather Andre. Yeah.
- 1:14:52I mean, the only have four of the seven albums.
- 1:14:54We did on there is mmm, it's crazy.
- 1:14:57Not a shock to me at all. Right.
- 1:15:00But like it is a shock for me that there's nothing from we
- 1:15:02were dead. Yeah, yeah I think we should
- 1:15:07Rectify that well I mean it's your call to your call, you
- 1:15:10know? Like Like I said, I prefer it be
- 1:15:14one that's alive but also you know it's completely your call,
- 1:15:18you can pull something that that came out of or that went into
- 1:15:22the bin. That's that's the way it works.
- 1:15:28Christina way you look really close on to their I think little
- 1:15:33motel and spitting Venom is that right correct.
- 1:15:40Yeah, I screenshotted both of those on my way to Costco today.
- 1:15:46If I hadn't. I think spitting Venom is more
- 1:15:50upbeat like little Motel is like kind of sad if I remember
- 1:15:55correctly, but I've also driving to Costco and, you know, that's
- 1:16:01a whole stressful Endeavor in it's awful.
- 1:16:05But if I get together a list with, we probably haven't
- 1:16:10represented the quiet Mouse as much as the loudmouth.
- 1:16:13Yeah. Just just on talking shit about
- 1:16:16a pretty sunset, I think. Yeah.
- 1:16:18Yeah, that's property here. And the rest of pretty much loud
- 1:16:20Mouse and think what a motel. I would be happy with that.
- 1:16:26I mean it was such a close. I I think that us not having
- 1:16:30anything on we from we were dead on the final list is of shock.
- 1:16:33I had a tan. My first pass, 1 2 3 4 8 I8 off
- 1:16:38of that record. I can do it alone.
- 1:16:42Why little Motel is very close for me so I'd be fine with
- 1:16:48either of those things but also to your choice, Yeah, it's a
- 1:16:54little eyes out so I think I think based on the what we've
- 1:16:59got already through and trying to get a little bit more range
- 1:17:02in the in the top 10, I'm at devastated, we don't have
- 1:17:05anything, you know, once first of your next is, I think with
- 1:17:08undersold that album today, but yeah.
- 1:17:15You can't fit it all in, it's can't.
- 1:17:16Yeah, it's not. Sometimes that just be the way
- 1:17:19it is. All right, so make sure that we
- 1:17:25have 10. Indeed, we do.
- 1:17:27Alright, so we have Dramamine teeth like God's shoeshine.
- 1:17:31I can read third planet. Tiny cities made of Ashes, Ocean
- 1:17:34Breeze. Salty talking shit about a
- 1:17:35pretty sunset trailer trash, styrofoam boots.
- 1:17:38It's on Ice. All right, or it's all on Ice,
- 1:17:40all right, bury me with it and little Motel. all right, now,
- 1:17:47Christina of those 10, which one's the one This isn't even
- 1:17:53hard for me. Usually I'd read it when you
- 1:17:57pick me first for this no teeth. Like, got to shine, if I think,
- 1:18:03what do you think Adam? That was going to be mine.
