  Odds Deprogram, the podcast where we try to get you into a
• 0:25
  band. That's right, we've done all the
• 0:27
  work for you. All you have to do is press play
• 0:30
  and listen. My name is Justin, and you can
• 0:33
  call me Band Curious because I am indeed curious about bands.
• 0:36
  And if you take that as actually coming up and calling me Band
• 0:41
  Curious as my nickname, whatever, man, that's fine.
• 0:44
  Somebody may have done that. It may have been wanky and it
• 0:47
  may have been in a Discord server.
• 0:49
  Who knows? Who really knows?
• 0:52
  We're going to find out, aren't we?
• 0:53
  So what we would normally do on Deprogrammed is we have a band
• 0:59
  and we're going to get together and we're going to talk about
• 1:01
  the band we're going to, we're going to love bond the band, and
• 1:05
  then we're going to come together and create a top ten
• 1:08
  star kit list for you to get into that band.
• 1:10
  It's not what we're doing today. Today we're talking about one
• 1:13
  band and one band in particular because we're talking about one
• 1:16
  song from 1 band in particular. Because it's Earworm Wednesday,
• 1:20
  which I guess is getting another week because I, as I was
• 1:26
  planning, as I was thinking I didn't have, I didn't have a
• 1:29
  song in mind. And I was looking at an old
• 1:32
  playlist and a song off of The Smashing Pumpkins record.
• 1:35
  Seer was on it. It was it was The Color of Love.
• 1:40
  And I considered that briefly. And I really do enjoy that song.
• 1:46
  But whenever I think of ear worms from that record, I think
• 1:51
  of Save Your Tears. And so we're going to talk
• 1:53
  briefly about Save Your Tears first.
• 1:55
  Firstly, we're going to talk about Seer just in general.
• 1:58
  I understand and I will take people saying it's a little
• 2:02
  bloated because it's I think 22 songs.
• 2:06
  It came out 2020, maybe 2021. So it was like a COVID project.
• 2:13
  I really enjoy the sound. I I glommed on to SERE almost
• 2:18
  immediately from the lead single to like they did 5 or 6 singles.
• 2:22
  I think I enjoyed all of them, but Save Your Tears was one that
• 2:27
  jumped out to me when the record came out.
• 2:31
  Like immediately. It has like the way it sets the
• 2:37
  tempo immediately it it's not a guitar record.
• 2:42
  So if you're looking for guitars, you know this isn't
• 2:46
  going to be for you. But it's it's kind of, it's a
• 2:52
  nice mish mishmash of what Billy's doing vocally.
• 2:58
  He's not doing like a lot, even though it's Billy, so he is
• 3:02
  doing a lot. And to me it is all about the
• 3:07
  release from the hook, which is just a simple swoon.
• 3:13
  And that's what I mean, it's a hook.
• 3:16
  That's what keeps me coming back, the swoon and the swell of
• 3:24
  the music. And it is just a great release
• 3:28
  and it's without changing any kind of tempos.
• 3:30
  It's just kind of like a whoosh. And I don't know if you have an
• 3:37
  open mind and an open ear, maybe you've already heard it and
• 3:40
  maybe you disagree with me. That's fine.
• 3:43
  But maybe you haven't heard it and you have an open mind and
• 3:46
  are willing to. If you're trying to work out,
• 3:50
  this is probably not going to be work for you.
• 3:53
  It it's not that kind of song, but if you have an open mind, if
• 3:59
  you're into, I don't know, I don't know how to explain.
• 4:03
  I mean, it's Cynthia. All of Seer is is kind of
• 4:07
  synthy. So if you like synthy type
• 4:10
  music, give it a go. Maybe you'll like it, maybe you
• 4:14
  won't, but that's what we're going with today.
• 4:18
  Save your tears off of The Smashing Pumpkins record Seer.
• 4:21
  I also wanted to briefly mention because I, I loved these two
• 4:24
  songs that Joe sent me, sent them to me last week.
• 4:28
  I, I, I don't have a lot to say about them.
• 4:32
  I, I was trying to make some more space to, to make sure I
• 4:34
  could talk about them a little bit more.
• 4:38
  He sent ME3 songs. One was youth Fountain was the
• 4:43
  name of the ACT. Deadlocked was the name of the
• 4:45
  song. 1 was overstepping by a band called Belmont, both
• 4:51
  rippers. I think Belmont was the one he
• 4:53
  said was from Australia and put on a killer live show.
• 4:57
  Funnily enough, the other song he sent me, The Amity Affliction
• 5:01
  is a turn style cover of Holiday on Triple JS, like a version
• 5:08
  which is Australian and it is a really good cover because it is
• 5:16
  a note for note turn style cover with a flare of what I presume
• 5:22
  this The Amity Affliction has very good cover.
• 5:26
  Very much recommend that. We'll tag that.
• 5:29
  And then I'm going to tag one more song here because we went
• 5:33
  on the road trip and you know the frogs is going to come up.
• 5:37
  It's Jenny and I traveling, so the frogs are going to come up
• 5:41
  and suck me off. It's the end of the world is is
• 5:44
  a song that's kind of been flying around in my head the
• 5:47
  last couple days. So we're going to put up those
• 5:49
  four songs in the links. And while we're at it, before we
• 5:54
  get out of here, I just wanted to mention I appreciate all the
• 5:58
  kind words that I've gotten, especially Joe.
• 6:00
  You know what you've done, you know what you did.
• 6:03
  I really appreciate the kind words I am attempting with these
• 6:10
  to give you Justin and because while I think you get Justin
• 6:16
  from the regular deprogrammed episodes, I think it might help
• 6:21
  connect the dots of where I'm coming from with my picks and
• 6:27
  and who is making those picks and why.
• 6:29
  I might be way off from what you, a fan of that band, might
• 6:35
  think I should be picking. I don't know.
• 6:38
  And maybe it's to keep you from yelling at me.
• 6:41
  Not really. Nobody really does that.
• 6:42
  Some people are mad at, at some of the songs that we pick.
• 6:45
  But yeah, I, I just, I'm very appreciative of, of all the kind
• 6:49
  words. Everybody seems to be on board
• 6:51
  with these dailies. So I'm going to keep them up.
• 6:53
  Some days they're going to be short, like today.
• 6:54
  We're going to try to keep them, keep them nice and tight.
• 6:57
  And some days they're going to be longer.
• 6:59
  So if this is coming out, this is coming out on Wednesday,
• 7:01
  which means tomorrow, if you could.
• 7:04
  I already have a couple questions.
• 7:05
  So we're good to go. But if you hear this on
• 7:08
  Wednesday, get that question and I'm going to try to record on
• 7:12
  Thursday and looks like we're recording X probably tonight.
• 7:18
  So big thumbs up. And with that, we will see you
• 7:22
  all tomorrow.
