0:31
Program the podcast where we try to get you into a sport, no,
0:37
it's a Bandits American football and by rocks, like by the way,
0:43
things kind of shook out because this one's been on Ice since
0:47
never Burton. Alex, you know, I'm not trying
0:49
to put you on blast here sir, but please check your DM's.
0:53
I think you become the pilot here.
0:57
John, I think you, I think Ryan put them on the board.
1:02
I think you signed up and then Alex signed.
1:05
I'm I might have, but yeah, it probably was him.
1:09
Yeah again I I mean we put this panel together in November who
1:14
knows when it got put on the board.
1:16
So so American football. Tell me about it.
1:20
Why was it important that you were here for this band today?
1:23
Well, American football is one of the bands that came out of
1:29
the lineage of the kinsella brothers.
1:32
Hi Tim and Mike and Nate I believe.
1:35
Nate is the one in American football which was were born out
1:39
of cabbage as one of the great kind of early, you know, 90s
1:46
mid-90s emo bands. Basically, that's kind of
1:50
spawned a lot of those bands that became popular later on.
1:54
You know, the promise ring was another one of those bands that
1:57
came out of that Joan of Arc owls like the list goes on.
2:02
On and on and basically anything connected with the kinsella
2:08
brothers, is is worth worth mentioning and worth talking
2:12
about, because they're all very talented and in different ways
2:15
and I believe Nate was the was the drummer in chem Jazz for a
2:20
little while or for most of it. And now he is for American
2:23
football, he kind of steps out and plays guitar and sings and
2:27
shows, kind of what he can do. So we've got like a, we've got a
2:30
drummer coming out from behind The kit and and and becoming the
2:34
frontman situation, which is always interesting.
2:37
And yeah, there there's a two because, you know, they were
2:41
around kind of in the late 90s, early 2000s and and then I
2:46
believe and then went away and then they came back a couple
2:50
years ago with the with a big, big reunions record.
2:54
But the real story is is this house?
2:56
I mean this American football house that's on the cover of all
2:59
these records has become like this.
3:01
This thing of In the in the kind of underground in the community,
3:05
I think. So I'm just here to talk about
3:06
the house, all right? It's the house that American
3:11
football built. And I'm going to tell you this
3:13
story real quick because Court actually saved the day here.
3:18
You know, the way the way it shook out is this was initially
3:23
a four-person panel, then I was going to be a five-person panel.
3:25
So a couple weeks back, we were doing Motion City.
3:32
And I said, you know, hey, you know, we're working on a couple
3:35
in court asks, which ones I said American football and exact
3:38
words put me in coach. So here you are cord.
3:43
Why, why is this a put me in coach situation?
3:46
Why were you anxious to get in here?
3:50
I mean emo and like Midwest emo is just like, that's like my
3:56
wheelhouse for genre. Like I absolutely love all of
3:59
that stuff if you couldn't kind. Already tell by the shows that
4:03
I've been on, for the program's here.
4:05
Um, and American football is one of those bands where when I was
4:10
first, like, back in high school, I found out about, like,
4:16
I grew up in the era of like the quote unquote, like Molly Mao
4:20
stuff. Like we're talking, you know, I
4:23
mean, Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday.
4:25
We're like the real emo bands out of the way, but then you had
4:28
all like, the, My Chemical Romance, and the Fall Out, Boy,
4:30
and all that stuff. And that was my Sort of
4:32
introduction. Quiet, trying to stay quiet,
4:34
calling them all emo, okay? That's the distinction, the Hot
4:41
Topic email. So that's kind of what my
4:43
introduction to it was and then late high school.
4:48
I ended up finding just on like online music.
4:51
Forums about ended up finding out about this like more Indie
4:57
flavored Midwest emo stuff that started in the 90s and then
5:01
eventually Led to the wave that was happening around the time.
5:04
I was graduating high school which was bands like snowing and
5:07
Algernon Cadwallader and like, you know, look Mexico and a
5:12
bunch of other bands. So I started getting into those
5:15
bands and then you know, in the same circles was being shared, a
5:19
bunch of people were finding this American football LP from
5:22
1999 and like as I have heard it, you know, like my kids, I've
5:27
heard like a interview with Mike kinsella, where he talks about,
5:30
like, no one cared about Pus in 1999 and then 15 years later, a
5:34
bunch of kids on the internet were like, whoa, this bands.
5:36
Cool. And that was kind of where I
5:39
came in and American football really grabbed me, because it
5:42
was like, I mean, I already started to fall in love with
5:46
this particular emo sound. But American football, had this
5:49
flavor to them that was like nostalgic for me even though I
5:54
know for a fact, there was no way I would have ever heard them
5:56
before, you know, my like junior senior year of high school.
6:01
And so I just kind of began to fall in love with this band.
6:04
And then with, you know, exploring the kinsella, brothers
6:08
of, like, you know, finding out about cap and Jazz.
6:11
And Mike can sell has solo project after In football called
6:15
Owen. And yeah, so, American football
6:17
has been like, they're one of these bands that like I wouldn't
6:22
put them in like, a high spot for like a big emotional
6:27
connection banned for me, like they're definitely in that
6:29
wheelhouse for sure, but I think more than anything, they're just
6:32
consist like a consistent. Listen, since I have found them,
6:36
we're like American football is always somewhere in my
6:40
periphery, you know, since I've found that band there.
6:44
Just always around in what I'm listening to.
6:47
I do I do want to piggyback on on some of these days because
6:50
Justin he he did drop some some names of some newer bands that
6:54
kind of like are in this kind of Revival sound, the Algernon
6:58
Cadwallader and snowing and stuff like that.
6:59
And you might not be familiar with those bands, but free-throw
7:03
is also kind of one of those bands, and you will be familiar
7:05
with them. So, that's kind of the thing
7:07
he's talking about God. Yeah, gotcha.
7:10
So I think this is yet another band that kind of was Is
7:14
floating around in The Ether. Like, I'd heard the name and,
7:19
you know, I just American football.
7:21
I get it. Hey.
7:21
Oh, you know, chucklehead me and and, you know, 2010 or 2011 or
7:27
whatever. And I just, I never bothered
7:34
giving it the time of day and I hit play and you know we'll get
7:42
into like they're the specifics of this and it's funny.
7:44
You mentioned that Nostalgia chord.
7:47
There's no way. I'd never heard this band
7:50
before. There is literally, no way that
7:53
this could be Nostalgia for me. But there is this baked in
7:57
Nostalgia to their sound, that takes you to, like a lake house
8:00
or that takes you, it takes you places.
8:03
And John, this might be one of my like you've put up a lot.
8:08
Of bands that are kind of like in this wavelength and I think
8:12
this might be my favorite one that you've put up to date.
8:15
Like, I, I loved this band. It reminds me a lot of theirs.
8:20
Now obviously the band I'm about to say actually comes after
8:25
American football but there's a local band, long division and I
8:28
bring them a lot up a lot on the show and right down to the
8:32
trumpet. Like and I got to put you on
8:36
blast, Joel. If you're little Better be
8:38
listening to this episode. He commented on on the post he
8:41
didn't he didn't put up any songs but he said he was going
8:44
to jump in and then he didn't so Joel.
8:47
I'm now that I found out that you've listened.
8:51
You listen to this show, you have to sign up for episodes but
8:55
so they are they named after the fugazi song Long Division?
8:59
I possibly, I feel like they told me the story when they were
9:02
on You music show and that was like, a long long time ago.
9:06
I don't remember. But I'm pretty sure they are
9:10
named after a song, there's also a death cab song called long
9:15
division. I mean, it could be it could be
9:17
either of those because I guess I would probably lean towards
9:21
Death Cab because their sound is more like this, the Death Cab
9:26
American football type of, you know what they're doing.
9:29
Only, they're all instrumental. So, Joel, again, you're
9:33
listening, you can tell us the story, feel free to sign up,
9:37
leading to stupid.com. Shut up, Joel.
9:39
I haven't talked to you in forever man.
9:41
All right, so I can't remember was this like did we chop this
9:45
discography? Or was there, just not much to
9:48
it and because it and we ended up with 32 Songs.
9:51
I know you put it all together. John.
9:53
Yeah, there's there's only the three LPS and they're pretty
9:57
much, I think eight to ten songs each.
9:59
Like it's not very much and then we added, I think I added a
10:04
couple of ups and the recent thing that they did Song like a
10:09
live song from a live EP in a cover.
10:12
So kind of flush it out a little bit, to get to 30, but yeah, it
10:15
was, it was tight. We're closed.
10:18
So being that it's at 32 limit, that means you only get 15
10:21
songs. Did that change?
10:23
How you how you did this or, or did you do it the same?
10:28
Pretty much the same. I think 20 probably would have
10:30
been a little bit overkill for this mean, you're looking.
10:33
That's looking at two out of every three songs that doesn't
10:37
that's not very I'm doing so I think 15 is a good, a good
10:43
number for this. Like I was able to get a lot of
10:46
the stuff that they're really jumped out at me and, you know,
10:49
we'll still kind of still going to have that middle area between
10:52
like 13 and 17 where you're like.
10:54
All right. Like I like these songs but I
10:56
kind of have to have to make a decision, like, you want to have
10:58
to make a decision, you know. So you have to get worked out,
11:02
fine, didn't have a problem with it and cord.
11:04
You jumped on only a couple weeks ago so like how I mean
11:09
hearing that it you may have made just be hearing that it's
11:12
only 15 but uh how did how did your song selection go?
11:18
Yeah. No like honestly it was a so
11:21
this was kind of a fun experience to go through because
11:25
I'm like first EP first. LP are like heavy in my rotation
11:31
and then like the later half the discography is not like
11:34
necessarily. I something that I listen to and
11:37
disliked It's like never like I have maybe listen to him once or
11:42
twice and never made them into my like regular rotation.
11:45
So like, yeah, it was honestly, I had the rare occasion where I
11:52
hit 15 on my first pass. So, yeah, there, yeah.
11:57
I mean, that is so, so, so rare. I mean, like John said, you
12:03
usually want to make those decisions because they hurt but
12:08
like, Like also, if you can do it without the hurt, you know,
12:11
why not? I think I think my first pass
12:13
was 19 and, you know, just enough to where you have to make
12:17
a couple difficult choices. And as I was listening before,
12:24
you know, I always try to listen to either at least, you know, my
12:28
15 or my list or I try to listen to the whole playlist and record
12:33
you came in, I was like I was jamming I think I had just
12:36
finished the first LP And I'm very hesitant to throw the word
12:41
perfect around, but God damn that first LP is enough.
12:47
I mean I mean I'm gonna tag the wordperfect to it but I'm I
12:54
don't know that I can say the full sentence so you know, you
12:57
do the math. But yeah, I got a ton of that
13:01
first one but still found a. I still found that the other two
13:07
LPS in The EPS that that we added, they're all great.
13:11
You know, there's just something.
13:13
You know, we talk about like the Nostalgia of that first record
13:16
without having been there. Like there's a, there's a
13:19
feeling of, I know this there's a feeling of warmth and coziness
13:24
to that first record that I could not, I couldn't get away
13:27
from. So, now again, there's this
13:31
becomes a little bit easier as it ends up.
13:34
You know, you hate how it came down to only three people But
13:38
you know, five-person panel even with 15 songs is going to be
13:41
kind of difficult. John, what do you think for the
13:44
final say how many do you think we're going to get through
13:45
unanimously? You know, I think I'm gonna, I'm
13:49
gonna go with a pretty bold number because like we've only
13:52
got thirty two songs. I think I'm going to say seven.
13:57
All right. All right, I like it.
14:00
What do you think cord? Um, I'm also going to be
14:03
optimistic, but I'm hanging a little more in the middle.
14:06
I'm feeling five. Okay.
14:10
Oh boy. Everybody always does this to
14:13
me. I should start going.
14:14
I should start going first so I can show, I can take my number
14:19
man, where do I? So seven was my inclination.
14:23
Do I split the difference and go six.
14:26
Go a little bit more optimistic than chord, A Little Less
14:28
optimistic than John or do I go full-on optimistic and take it
14:33
up to the 8th. Is the question.
14:36
I feel like because for does seem too low.
14:40
I think I'm gonna go six. I'll split the difference that
14:43
way. We've got five six, seven right
14:44
in a row. All right, so we're going to
14:47
take a quick pause and when we come back, we're going to play
14:50
American football. Well, you know what?

American Football discography easy for me to say and plucked
15:40
out 15 songs that we're now going to mesh together in an
15:42
attempt to create a top 10 starter kit for you, in case you
15:45
have never listened it to American football.
15:48
And you know I mentioned this on the Modest Mouse episode
15:51
yesterday. I've tried to shy away from this
15:54
play because it's very it's very Justin but there is nothing I
15:58
love more than when I push play on the first track and Knowing
16:03
exactly what to expect from the band.
16:05
So I'm going with never meant solutely.
16:09
Yep. Yeah, man, you can't not have
16:12
never meant like, it just It sets you up for everything,
16:20
you're about to get and this to the turn down now, okay?
16:27
I mean there it is right there. Right there, playful guitars
16:34
that warmth. There is this Nostalgia to it.
16:45
All right. That's the sound.
16:49
You're going to hear a lot tonight gents.
16:51
I'm going to yeah. I'm going to do a lot of em.
16:55
All right. John I'm just going to keep
16:58
going straight down the line, the summer ends.
17:01
Yeah, man. Yep.
17:06
Yes, I mean again you're going to hit play a lot here and
17:11
you're going to know immediately.
17:15
I hate I hate being repetitive. I easily could have taken the
17:19
first record and called it a day.
17:20
Sure. Yeah.
17:22
I mean it just it is it's it's perfect like it's it's
17:27
everything you want from this band.
17:29
So it's worth your time doing the whole discography.
17:35
Yeah, for sure. But if you're unsure, just
17:38
listen to this first LP and I promise you, you'll want to
17:40
listen, listen to the rest. All right, chord.
17:46
I guess I'll go with all. I'll keep on the trend and play
17:49
honestly. Yep, that was number 16.
17:55
Oh okay. All right, it was bound to
17:57
happen. It was bound to happen.
18:02
All right, it's got to though. So it's still there.
18:04
Um, all right. Maybe I'll stay on this first
18:09
record. Yeah, I'm going to say on the
18:12
first record because I got a couple more here.
18:14
I'll see you when we're both not so emotional.
18:18
I did not have that one. No.
18:29
That one may be a the title just being too much.
18:33
Yeah, you know what's funny is? I don't I almost took it out
18:37
because I transfer it from my Spotify list to my notebook here
18:44
and I'm writing and I'm like I'm still riding this one song.
18:46
What the hell? So yeah I get that.
18:50
All right, John Let's go to the third record and this one stuck
18:57
out to me because it sounds like sunny day real estate like the
19:01
how it feels to be something on era.
19:03
Let's go Silhouettes. I did not have that one man.
19:08
No me neither. All right, I think if I had to
19:15
guess that was 16, but it absolutely was one of those 19.
19:20
Oh, and this is gonna be another.
19:24
This is going to be another one of those bands where I don't
19:27
have a reason. Yeah.
19:29
No, sorry. All right.
19:34
Gord. Um, I'm gonna go LP 2 and play.
19:40
My instincts are the enemy Yes. I couldn't read my own
19:47
handwriting. Yes, I have.
19:48
That one is high. There we go.
19:52
There we go. God, that riff that paws, like,
20:00
amigo. Oh God, that I heard this in
20:05
like as I was coming back around for my second like to make the
20:10
cuts. It's like, why did I keep this?
20:11
And then that pause hits. I wasn't, that's why.
20:15
Yeah, it just it makes that riff so much.
20:20
Not bigger but like, I don't know how to describe it.
20:25
It just made me go. It literally was heart-stopping.
20:29
Yeah. Oh, fucking pretty.
20:35
Okay. All right.
20:38
Where we at RD3, right? Yep, um-hmm.
20:52
How about where are we now? Nope, yes.
20:58
Okay, saved the conversation is just going to be all the
21:03
question marks on its, the question marks that threw us
21:08
off. All right, John let's stick with
21:15
with lp3, how about a doom in full bloom?
21:20
No. I know, LP, I know LP one is the
21:27
classic in good that lp3 is may be right behind it from you.
21:31
I enjoyed that one a lot. I can't argue like, I don't.
21:35
Yeah you know I've got a couple from that album.
21:37
We're just not hitting the same songs.
21:39
Yeah I think I think that's the that's gonna be the thing.
21:42
Well I've got more so we'll see ya.
21:46
All right Court. Okay, well if we're if we're
21:49
going lp3 how about uncomfortably numb.
21:55
Yes, I got with your girl Hayley Williams on the track.
21:59
I mean, normally that would be a not let that would be a No-No
22:03
for me. Like, especially with a
22:05
discography. This small, I wouldn't have to
22:07
keep it out, but I love Haley and hearing her with them.
22:14
It just worked on this level that a lot of the I'm not going
22:19
to be able to explain a lot of this, but it worked on this
22:22
level that that I just I can't explain and I just I loved
22:26
hearing her with this music. So yeah.
22:31
See, she does nothing for me and then I really don't like the
22:34
Pink Floyd song, Comfortably Numb, so that I remember he was
22:37
comes down for me. All right.
22:42
Um, so back around me, huh? But I stay on that record with
22:50
y'all about life support. Nope, yes.
22:56
All right. Are we like out of ntp already
23:04
know? I don't think so.
23:05
No no, no it just feels like it because I mean almost everything
23:10
was hit. All right, John.
23:13
All right. Let's go back to lp1.
23:16
How about stay home? Absolutely.
23:19
Yes, yes, eight minutes. Yeah, eight minutes and every
23:23
second is perfect. Hmm.
23:26
Ah, again as I was listening to it before like I had thought I
23:33
cut it, as I was listening to it and I'm like because again you
23:37
mentioned eight minutes like normally that's a No-No like
23:40
especially if there's some their songs like in that for three and
23:44
a half four minute range, where I feel like you can do it but
23:47
like if you want what this band is, I could make a case that
23:55
this is the one. I don't know that it is.
23:57
We'll get there. I could absolutely make this the
24:00
case because yeah you should you should listen to this beautiful
24:06
song for fucking 8 minutes. You should or you'll get a
24:10
chance to make that case. Yeah yeah.
24:14
All right, so stay home was John Court.
24:19
Um, let's give the EP some love. I'm going to play letters and
24:24
packages. Yes, yes.
24:29
No. I think that was the one I was
24:32
jamming out to you, when you came.
24:33
Yeah, I was gonna say maybe cheating a little bit because
24:35
you were definitely listening to that when I came in.
24:38
I mean, I was just listening to everything in a row, so yeah.
24:44
Wow. One, two, three, four.
24:47
I'm only got five left. I mean, we might as well just
24:50
keep going. We're still, we're still playing
24:52
well. How about?
25:00
Born to lose. No, no.
25:05
All right because I said we're playing so well. all right, John
25:23
Let's go back up III. How about Heir Apparent?
25:27
Yes. No There's a really cool.
25:33
They did a tiny desk session and the version of Heir Apparent on
25:39
Tiny desk is super cool because they actually bring in like a
25:41
children's choir for the end. Hmm, we are officially out of
25:48
ntp as well. Officially official, all right,
25:53
so are parent was Johnny cord. Um, go back to LP to, I'm going
26:01
to play a song that's kind of out of character, but very, it's
26:06
kind of fun. Desire gets in the way.
26:09
No, no. Yeah, it was kind of a reach.
26:18
I mean you say that but like as I'm listening to it on, what is
26:22
it? That opening riff is so fun.
26:25
Yeah, I guess maybe that would be like Maybe that's what took
26:32
it out of the running for me. I don't know.
26:35
I honestly don't have have an answer.
26:38
Let me stay right there with you, though.
26:39
How about everyone is dressed up?
26:43
Nope. Nope, you are right with me also
26:47
in the trash. All right, John How about the
26:58
one with the Wurlitzer? You know yes sir again I didn't
27:04
want to because it's it's it's a instrumental.
27:12
Yeah. But when the instrumentals that
27:15
good, it is so good. Then yes, I will get behind that
27:20
one. Also that is the only song that
27:23
somebody answered with Chris Lewinsky who has done a lot with
27:27
you John. Yeah.
27:29
Yeah. I've only got two left.
27:32
All right cord. Um well let's keep with the same
27:37
theme, the one with the tambourine.
27:42
I know for a fact that was like 17 or 18.
27:45
No. Yeah, bummer Just bums me out
27:53
when I don't have with an answer to to tell you why, all right?
27:58
I've only got the two left, so I'm just keep going.
28:01
Give me the gun. Yes.
28:05
No. I mean, at least this is, I
28:10
mean, we're not we're not getting a ton of Unanimous.
28:17
But like, at least, it's not like painful.
28:20
Yeah. All right, John All right, my
28:25
last one from from LP 1, but the regrets are killing me.
28:30
No, I mean it's all in the title.
28:36
It's all in the title, should have known help.
28:40
Again, this is one of those songs that was listen to like
28:43
beforehand. Those like do I really not have
28:45
this one? I don't like you said I don't
28:53
have a good reason just it just happened.
28:55
That way. I know I have to hear it and be
28:57
heard about it. All right, Court. um, I'm gonna
29:07
play how about home is where the haunt is.
29:12
Hmm. Nope, this one gave me Big O and
29:17
Vibes like very similar to Mike conselho solo stuff, which I'm
29:22
in love with was that one of the ones that I think they we got to
29:25
talk about. We didn't talk about this at the
29:27
beginning even though I'm into, we got to talk about their
29:29
videos where they always have like random people playing them
29:34
as the bandits never them. It's always like be like three
29:38
Asian guys or two girls and a kid and Like it's it's they
29:43
always they never are in their own videos as themselves.
29:46
They always have like other people playing them in the band
29:49
is very very cool way to do that.
29:51
I think I need to clarify to I think of the beginning I said it
29:55
was Nick and Sally who played drums and cam Jazz?
29:57
It was my kinsella, you're right who know how to do.
29:59
Yeah, own and things like that. So I almost forgot to do.
30:03
But I didn't, I didn't want to be pedantic know you.
30:05
You should have thank you. All right, so this is my last
30:10
one I'm done. After this, rare symmetry Nope,
30:18
I hate to send you out on it on the trash, but don't have that
30:21
lamp. We started off strong and then
30:25
fell off. Yeah, I mean, we just, we had a
30:28
lot of, a lot of. I mean, there's a lot of want.
30:30
There's a lot of everything. So yeah.
30:32
All right, John. Should I just jump out?
30:35
Yeah. All right, all right Court.
30:38
I've got I've been so lost for so long.
30:41
No, I need a drink or two or three know.
30:46
Every wave to ever rise. No, and mine to miss now man.
30:55
We're going to cover everything. We cover everything.
30:59
All right. Whatever you got left.
31:01
I mean just for fun cord. All right, I had five silent
31:04
miles so. Yes, I did.
31:05
Put the entire first EP on my list.
31:09
I can't feel you from lp3 and then the Fade Into You cover was
31:13
too good to me to not put the cover on.
31:16
Because I know that was tough because that's it, it's a great
31:19
song and it's a great cover, but he has didn't have room for it.
31:22
Yeah, absolutely. I agree.
31:25
All right. Well, what did, where did we
31:26
land here for no final? Say, no final say I almost had
31:32
it. I should have four fellow.
31:34
I should have went with for. Yeah.
31:37
But I will say this, eight got through on twos so we really
31:41
don't. We only need to cut two songs.
31:43
So yeah this isn't You know, I guess we'll see which ones are
31:48
the ones that are alive. So here's the, here's a, the
31:52
ones we got through unanimously, never meant the summer ends.
31:54
Stay home, my instincts are the enemy.
31:58
All right, so we got here, one, two, three, four, five, six,
32:01
seven eight. Where does it start?
32:03
So we've got honestly question. Mark, the one with the Wurlitzer
32:08
letters and packages. Where are we now?
32:10
Give me the gun uncomfortably numb, Heir Apparent.
32:15
And Life support, is there anything?
32:17
That's really kind of, you know, again, we only need to, we need
32:21
to Cuts, or do you want to start making cases for songs?
32:24
That should be in Jonna, I'll leave that up to you.
32:28
Well, I want to, I want to cut uncomfortably numb because for
32:31
the reasons that I stated earlier, I just yeah, it just
32:35
rubs me the wrong way for for other reasons, than the actual
32:38
song. But yeah, I would I would like
32:40
to cut uncomfortably numb on principle now.
32:44
I would I would put Fight here. But like I do feel like we can
32:48
probably do this without that song as much as I liked it.
32:52
I feel like we can do. Yeah, that that's my thing too.
32:55
I think my only like slight argument for it is that I think
32:59
a lot of people who haven't heard of this band would have
33:02
their ears perk up a little bit. If they heard that Hayley
33:05
Williams was on a song, they didn't know that's bad, it
33:07
might, it might them might make them a little more inclined to
33:09
check it out. But honestly, as far as like the
33:13
actual music we have in the conversation, if we get rid of
33:15
it, I'm I'm not going to be mad because it's all still wonderful
33:19
and it's all like it's all American football doing exactly
33:23
what they do best. Well they're not that you guys
33:25
on the next cut about that. If we do this you guys can can
33:28
figure out the next one. I won't fight you.
33:30
So yeah, deal. Alright.
33:31
And so, this is also the point where I'd like to point out, is
33:36
a great idea, especially, with a load discogs, like this, take
33:39
everything that we've said and put it into a playlist.
33:42
Especially that song. If Hayley Williams, Is your
33:46
girl. And you want to go and listen to
33:48
that first to perk your ears up, as course, record said, and then
33:51
listen to our list by all means. All right, so we're taking that
33:57
out. We've got one other cut.
33:58
So what do we? I feel like we don't really care
34:03
about about album representation.
34:08
Do we, I mean, it feels like It's available to get everything
34:16
in there. So maybe, yeah, maybe we should.
34:19
But yeah, I mean as long as we keep like letters and packages,
34:23
that means we have one from the EP, right?
34:26
And I would say, you know, and I did say I was going to stand as
34:28
a little bit but I would say maybe keep Heir Apparent and
34:33
life support. So that that so that op3 does
34:36
have some representation. Yeah, for sure.
34:38
Okay. So let's do that grab those real
34:42
quick. And that way we can start like
34:45
really really hot joining in on what we want.
34:50
But yeah, keep life support, keep letters and packages.
34:52
Keep Heir. Apparent, is it going to come
34:57
down to the question mark songs? Maybe, I think for me, I had I
35:04
look at the one with the Wurlitzer.
35:06
I want to keep that because I feel like we need the
35:08
representation of like American football.
35:11
Also doing great. Instrumentals I also had given I
35:14
had give me the gun. I was one of the two on that and
35:17
I'm I'm pretty fine with letting that one go.
35:19
Okay. All right, so then then we take
35:22
honestly the one with the Wurlitzer where we now and then
35:26
that completes our list. Yeah.
35:29
That sound like a plan, everybody looks for and I like
35:32
it. So let's do that.
35:33
One to a three and then Out. And then, let's make sure that
35:39
comes up to 10. Indeed, it does.
35:41
All right, so we've got never meant the summer ends.
35:44
Stay home. My instincts are the enemy
35:46
letters and packages are apparent life support.
35:48
Honestly, the one with the Wurlitzer, and where are we now
35:52
now John based on those 10, which one is the one.
35:59
Um, you know, before recording this, I probably would have said
36:03
never meant but I think I, you know, I we talked about the song
36:07
and you kind of talked about and I we all were kind of in
36:10
agreement. I think stay home is probably
36:13
the one that I would that I would pick.
36:15
I'm going to go stay home. What are you thinking chord?
36:20
I have a hard time arguing with that, like never meant is Like
36:25
if you have heard an American football song, it's been never
36:29
meant because it's almost like a meme at this point.
36:32
So I feel like it might be on some people's Radars but like
36:36
stay home is just like I don't know, it feels pretty bold to
36:42
put an 8 minute song as our number one with a bullet, but
36:45
like, I'm pretty confident in doing that, because stay home is
36:48
so good, Plus freight is going to hate it.
36:51
Oh, for sure. He will undoubtedly hit it.
36:54
But I also, I would point out that, like, normally in eight
36:57
minutes song, even one that I love is a slog, but this never
37:03
feels like that, like it? No, no, it never have.
37:08
I have stay home. Come on multiple playlists and
37:11
it's never a song that comes on and I go, oh I don't want to
37:14
listen to all eight minutes of this.
37:15
I never skip a song, right? So like I don't know.
37:18
I think I I think I agree. I think that's our one.
37:20
Let's do it. Let's lock it up.
37:22
Let's lock it up. All right, so stay home is our
37:28
number one. Let me read this list, never
37:30
meant the summer ends. My instincts are the enemy
37:33
letters and packages are apparent.
37:35
Like support. Honestly, the one with the
37:37
Wurlitzer, and where are we now? Now, rounds out our 10, let's
37:41
let stay home. Get a moment in the sun, you're
37:45
not getting all eight minutes. Eight minutes to stay home, but
37:47
we're going to let you play for a sec.
37:49
I'll come on, it's short episode, let it play.
38:00
This is so anti everything that a number one should be, but
38:05
pocket Nails. What I want from them.
38:08
Honestly, I think this is the most stoked I have ever been
38:11
about a number one. This right here is is exactly
38:21
like that familiarity. We're talking about like it's,
38:24
yeah, I feel like I'm hanging out.
38:28
I'm hanging out with friends, like in a cottage somewhere.
38:32
Probably tonight. Yeah, no, that's exactly it.
38:35
This song has accompanied me on so many, like, late night
38:39
drives, God man, and he hasn't even like gotten to it yet.
38:45
Like oh yeah, put a put on that. Start that first record at like,
38:50
1:30 in the morning and and you'll have you'll have an
38:53
experience. Yeah, and that we gotta, at
38:58
least let this play until it really kicks in.
39:00
Oh yeah, their main riff. Man, it's just so much fun World
39:06
building in song building. Yeah.
39:19
A minute and a half in and I'm not bored.
39:22
Yeah. Look like, Know by now I'm
39:27
skipping ahead. I'm like, okay, let's get to the
39:30
point. This is the point, I guess.
39:32
Yeah. Is the point we're making here.
39:34
This is the point. Yeah, I'm all about, like, in my
39:41
as like, a personal philosophy, slowing down to like enjoy the
39:45
little moments and I feel like this is that in song form.
39:48
Fuck yeah. And it just so happens to be
39:54
called, stay home. Crazy how that works.
40:05
I'm gonna get popped for this one.
40:08
Two and a half minutes. I will tell you just just to
40:14
have a little story over this, pretty instrumental.
40:16
I have a very like sentimental attachment to this song because
40:21
I used to put this record on. And usually this song on my way
40:25
home from shows at our local venue called the New Direction,
40:28
which has since shut down. And so, I have many Memories of
40:34
leaving shows at the New Direction and driving down
40:39
University Ave. Don't like back to my apartment
40:41
here in Fargo with this song on and just like being all
40:44
sentimental about how cool the show was, have you been to
40:48
Urbana to see the house you dive?
40:51
It's on my bucket list to make, like the emo kid, pilgrimage to
40:54
Urbana a new. We're going to talk about the
40:57
house. Again, I had a feeling because
40:59
we got here, they turned Fargo, you're not that far.
41:01
Like you could do it in a day. Yeah.
41:04
Yeah. I made a date.
41:06
I made a trip to hold on a day trip but I drove all the way to
41:10
Chicago recently so I know. It's doable.
41:14
Yeah. Well, we have done it.
41:17
We have got, we assure you, if this is your jam like Midwest
41:23
