Latest / Deprogrammed Music Podcast / Sequencing Chat
Transcript
- 0:20Ah, it's Deprogram, the podcast where we try to get you into a
- 0:24band. That's right, we've done all the
- 0:26work for you. All you have to do is press play
- 0:28and listen. My name is Justin.
- 0:31You can call me band Curious because I am indeed curious
- 0:33about bands. What that normally means is we
- 0:37would be talking about a band and compiling a top 10 starter
- 0:40kit list to present to you so you could get into whatever band
- 0:44we're talking about. That is not the case today.
- 0:46It's a Friday. It's actually rather late in a
- 0:48Friday. Normally I would have these
- 0:50released overnight. Couple things.
- 0:56Retrieving a child from school number one just kept me too busy
- 1:03yesterday #2 I, I did not get a chance to really kind of get it
- 1:08out there that I was looking for questions for AQ and a, so we're
- 1:12not going to do a tried and true Q&A because I ain't got no As
- 1:17for the cues that I didn't get. So that said, I'm going to put
- 1:24it out there that anytime you have a question for the for the
- 1:27pod, just, you know, pop it where, wherever you keep up with
- 1:32us at. So I can definitely make sure
- 1:39that we we get it answered for you.
- 1:43I also wanted to note that we got some answers about Joe's top
- 1:50gigs rundown and some interest on on Brian Cohen said he would
- 1:56like to do 1 and we're going to try to get that lined up for
- 1:59he's got the like a break in his busy schedule coming up here in
- 2:05well, it's May so this month. So we're going to get that lined
- 2:09up. So that means Jay Jay, Joe and
- 2:14John have both been out there. Brian is willing to do it.
- 2:17If there's anybody else that would like to do their top five
- 2:20gigs, let me know. And you know, we'll basically
- 2:24open up the floor the same way we we did with Joe and John.
- 2:28Same same thing. You know, I'll, I'll say a
- 2:30couple words and then let you go.
- 2:33A couple other things of note. Actually, Hazzah said the part
- 2:41about blink makes me want to listen to that episode.
- 2:45What would really be cool you can check out Joe and I did a a
- 2:51short run. Technically the pod isn't dead
- 2:54we just haven't gone back to it Called Reckless abandons and
- 2:58it's a blink 182 pod where I think we only did like 6 maybe 7
- 3:04episodes. We didn't do a lot, but if you
- 3:08are interested in that, it exists.
- 3:11And I'm not sure the idea was going to be we were going to do
- 3:15track by track from for each album and just kind of run it
- 3:21down. And the whole idea was to not
- 3:24have a time pressure on it. That's why I say it's not dead.
- 3:26It's just whenever we have time to do it again, we might do it
- 3:30again, who knows, But that is something that exists.
- 3:37If you'd like to hear Joe and I talk about Blink at length.
- 3:41So that happens there. Not that the episode's bad, the
- 3:45episode's fun. It's just we hadn't found what
- 3:48the show was yet. And it really was just Joe and
- 3:52I. We didn't have a third person,
- 3:54you know, at the time when it was still a radio station.
- 3:57We didn't. I, I had to have the show
- 4:01together Tuesday by, I think we were on at 9:00.
- 4:05So if I didn't have enough people to go by Tuesday at 9:00,
- 4:11we went with what we had. And sometimes I had nobody.
- 4:15I had no band. So that's why you'll find some
- 4:18episodes will say no band this week and it's just a
- 4:21conversation between Matt Wade and I.
- 4:25I think that only happened like twice.
- 4:27There was one that came out, I think we did live on the station
- 4:32and I may have put it out on the Legion of Stupid or I'm sorry,
- 4:36the WRFR Patreon, but I don't know that I ever put it on the
- 4:41deprogram feed. Who knows?
- 4:44That's that's not a me question. It should be a me question, but
- 4:48that's not a me question. All right, so the real thing
- 4:53I've been kind of teasing about sequencing and I never got
- 4:58around to it talking about sequencing here.
- 5:01And the the whole idea was kind of like in, in preparation for
- 5:06the release of domesticated, what became domesticated
- 5:11nostalgia, the Undercutters EP. So I was going to walk through
- 5:19like how we kind of put the tracks together and, you know,
- 5:24kind of ask for what you expect and hope in a first and last
- 5:29track and, and things like that. But it all kind of came together
- 5:33really quick for us. I think within two weeks we kind
- 5:37of were like, yeah, I think that's going to be the sequence
- 5:39we we started with. I'll let you in on a secret.
- 5:44So we the the EP opens with Tiny House, which was a suggestion by
- 5:50Joe who produced the the record, Joe Welch, not Joe Leon.
- 5:55He produced the EP and he said you guys don't do anything else
- 6:02like that, you should open with that.
- 6:05And then we followed it up with Psych Out twofold #1 Psych Out
- 6:09is our opening track or our opening.
- 6:11We open every show with Psych Out and we feel like it's the
- 6:15energy of the band. And so it was originally going
- 6:23to be the opening track, but we all agreed with Joe because the
- 6:29name of the song is Psych out. It's sometimes silly reasoning.
- 6:34And also honestly, Josh really doesn't like that version of
- 6:39Psych out. So he's like, I can get behind
- 6:43the fact that we are we are psyching people out by putting
- 6:47psych out second. And it's a version of the song I
- 6:49don't like, he said. It's it's also kind of closer to
- 6:52what what we are as a band. So that's how we ended up with
- 6:57Tiny House being the opener, Psych out being second.
- 7:01Dud typically follows up again. Everything else is kind of show
- 7:06order, like how how it would go in the set.
- 7:12Yeah, dud then hedonism bot and then NT slings with arrows.
- 7:20HRBT. The thing that I found in doing
- 7:24this and and Josh said this as well, is that last four run.
- 7:28I really like it goes from to slings with arrows to HRBT to as
- 7:36is tradition and I I love that run of songs like they flow
- 7:42really well together, like one right into the to into the
- 7:46other. So I guess this begs the
- 7:50question for over the weekend. Are you an opening track person,
- 7:57a closing track person? This is a conversation we have a
- 7:59lot on the after the facts. It comes up a lot on on the IT
- 8:08comes up on a lot on the show because I've become an I've
- 8:11always been an opening track guy.
- 8:13And so often times that bleeds into the way I play the game.
- 8:18So are you an opening track person, closing track person, or
- 8:24is it more like a all around? And I appreciate all the
- 8:29feedback we've already gotten for Domesticated Nostalgia.
- 8:32It's gotten a really warm reception, a lot more than I
- 8:37presumed it was going to get. And a lot of kind words coming
- 8:41our way that I'm very appreciative of that.
- 8:45Anybody took I'll say this, it's 18 minutes.
- 8:49So like if you can spare 18 minutes, I'd I'd appreciate to
- 8:53hear what anything you got to say about about those 18 minutes
- 8:58and I'll try to relay it to the boys.
- 9:00So again, I appreciate you all. I'll make this one quick pitch
- 9:06because we're going to the weekend patreon.com/oh.
- 9:09Hi Justin is a way you can support this program
- 9:12specifically undercutters.bandcamp.com is
- 9:17where you can go if you'd like to check out the band.
- 9:20I probably won't do a ton of promotion of the band on this
- 9:25show, but because it's lining up so perfectly with the release
- 9:30felt like it it it bared, it made sense to bring it up.
- 9:37So it's also part of the reason why I'm a little late with the
- 9:43episode is because it's Band Camp Friday as I'm recording
- 9:46this. So Band Camp Friday is the day
- 9:49that this episode is getting released.
- 9:51So there you go, some behind the scenes stuff.
- 9:54Have a great weekend everybody. We will see you on Monday.
- 9:57Goodbye.
