  It's Deprogrammed, the podcast where we try to get you into a
• 0:23
  band or an artist. That's right.
• 0:26
  We've done all the work for you. All you have to do is push play
• 0:28
  and listen. And my name is Justin.
• 0:31
  And this isn't a regular episode of Deprogrammed.
• 0:34
  And if you've stumbled on this randomly, hi, please hit
• 0:38
  subscribe. That would be great.
• 0:41
  We are a podcast where we do indeed try to get people into
• 0:44
  bands and I'm band curious is, is the way I've been pitching
• 0:48
  this for the last like year and a half or so.
• 0:51
  I'm curious about why people like bands and we have a
• 0:54
  discussion about the band and then come together to try to cut
• 0:57
  create a top ten star kit list for you in case you are like me
• 1:01
  and I've never gotten into the band.
• 1:03
  So that is what the what it usually is.
• 1:06
  If you've stumbled on this, this is a daily pod that we're trying
• 1:10
  to do, you know, just to kind of get into the weeds a little bit
• 1:14
  on the show and other other musical topics and discussions
• 1:19
  coming soon. But right now you're you're
• 1:21
  stuck with just listening to me ramble on for perhaps 10 to 15
• 1:26
  minutes. I'm sorry but today is AQ and a
• 1:29
  episode because it is Friday. I got a similar question here
• 1:33
  from both Gavin and their. The program username is Huzzah.
• 1:40
  But it's what are some bands artists you didn't know anything
• 1:43
  or hardly anything about prior to doing an episode that have
• 1:45
  since become or since been on regular rotation or become a
• 1:48
  favorite? And Gavin's direct question was,
• 1:51
  has the program made you a fan of any bands you didn't know
• 1:53
  before the show? So yes, I briefly talked about
• 1:59
  this on our year one episode. Devo was the first one that did
• 2:04
  that. It was in that that first year
• 2:07
  and it was a discovery for me and I'd never heard girl you
• 2:12
  want. And I was like, Oh my God.
• 2:16
  And you know, I'm still not huge Devo fan, but that was the first
• 2:22
  time like I realized that that was going to be a thing that was
• 2:26
  going to happen on this show. That same first year we did
• 2:30
  super drag. And I wouldn't have called
• 2:33
  myself a fan of super drag before the episode, but I did.
• 2:37
  I, I told this on the episode and I've told it God knows how
• 2:39
  many times since that I scooped up in the Valley of Dying Stars
• 2:43
  in the like dollar bin at Warehouse Music.
• 2:48
  And I loved that record. And then just kind of like, you
• 2:52
  know, stop following the band didn't really kind of get into
• 2:57
  them. So it was an excuse to get into
• 2:59
  them when we did the episode on them and it was the first time
• 3:03
  it was a discovery for all three panel members, as far as I know.
• 3:07
  I know Jenny's still into super drag, but super Drag is a a
• 3:11
  pretty heavy rotation band for me, like specifically in the
• 3:16
  valley of dying stars, of course, and destination or some
• 3:19
  major major. That song comes in and out of my
• 3:22
  life frequently. But the record I go back to most
• 3:26
  of all is the the follow up one, which I'm hoping comes out on
• 3:33
  vinyl because they're going to be coming up.
• 3:36
  They they just did regretfully yours.
• 3:40
  So I'm hoping head trip in every key gets a a vinyl repressing
• 3:43
  because I would love love, love to have that in my collection.
• 3:50
  So hopefully that answers that question.
• 3:54
  Oh, duh, I can throw out a couple more here.
• 3:59
  Jimmy World is one of my favorite bands and although
• 4:03
  technically speaking I in the summer and winter between when
• 4:09
  the show stopped in 2017 and before we came back in 2018, I
• 4:14
  grew into a Jimmy World fan. So like technically speaking it
• 4:19
  wasn't the show, but the show existing is the reason that I
• 4:24
  finally took the dive on Jimmy World even though I didn't do it
• 4:27
  for the show, if that makes sense.
• 4:29
  Paramore. Same thing, except I listen to
• 4:34
  it with purpose for Paramore and have since become a huge
• 4:39
  Paramore fan. Mets the most recently.
• 4:42
  Like I they're pretty constantly in my rotation and failure.
• 4:47
  Like if I were to stretch out a like a a top ten of my bands,
• 4:53
  those two might sneak in. You know, I'd really have to
• 4:57
  think about it, but you know, it's it's pretty flexible from
• 5:02
  three to 10. So it it kind of depends on the
• 5:05
  day. Tired Lion.
• 5:08
  I I don't know whether to attribute that to the the show
• 5:15
  or not. I mean, it was the show is the
• 5:18
  reason I dove into the rest of the discography, but I kind of
• 5:22
  found them before the show and just kind of reached out to try
• 5:26
  to get other people. Same thing for the bets.
• 5:27
  Huge fan of the bets, but I somebody else put me on to the
• 5:31
  bets and then the show was the excuse to to dive into the band.
• 5:36
  So I don't think the bets really fits the bill of this question.
• 5:42
  Well, I mean, those are the ones that jump out the most.
• 5:46
  So of course people doing a bunch of bits because why
• 5:52
  wouldn't they? Anderson asks.
• 5:54
  Besides The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, are any other artists
• 5:57
  on the No Fly list? I don't think so.
• 6:00
  I think those are literally the only ones.
• 6:03
  You know, I might soften on Zeppelin eventually.
• 6:05
  Maybe possibly. I don't know that I'm ever going
• 6:08
  to soften on The Beatles. I just, it's, it's just a
• 6:13
  hardened point. And then it it becomes one of
• 6:16
  those things where I talked about I'm going to have people
• 6:18
  yelling at me that they weren't on the episode.
• 6:21
  People are going to yell at me that, you know, that I did it
• 6:24
  wrong. You know, I mean, I I don't care
• 6:27
  as much about that. It's it's just more so mindset
• 6:31
  of Yagata and Jenny knows what I'm talking about the the whole
• 6:35
  concept of Yagata. Do I please tell us where the
• 6:41
  theme song comes from? And Anderson asked this.
• 6:44
  Brian cosigned and Gavin was curious as well when we did the
• 6:48
  after the fact earlier this week.
• 6:50
  The name of the band is the name of the song.
• 6:53
  I'm sorry, is is Swarm Name of the band is Slow Dance and they
• 6:58
  were a local band from your music show and we used to play
• 7:02
  their EP on the show. And that song specifically
• 7:07
  there, it's an instrumental band and I'm going to I'm going to
• 7:11
  make sure it's still on band camp so you can get that song.
• 7:17
  The name of the song is Swarm. The name of the band is Slow
• 7:19
  Dance and it came from doing your music show.
• 7:22
  That's how I know about it. To answer the question the most
• 7:26
  directly, let's see what else we got here.
• 7:30
  Auto doing a bit. I have a deprogram question.
• 7:32
  I've been listening to the old shows from the beginning.
• 7:34
  Are you on every single one? I'd like some variety, please.
• 7:39
  All right, then I put up the the the one off suggestion sign ups
• 7:46
  and let's revisit suggestion sign up.
• 7:49
  If you would like to get on one of those, jump onto the Discord.
• 7:55
  All right, And then I think this is our last question for this
• 7:59
  week. Adam asks some future Q&A S.
• 8:03
  How many countries have been represented in the show?
• 8:05
  What's the biggest argument or disagreement you can remember
• 8:07
  happening on the show? What bands have surprised you
• 8:10
  and have become a part of your own listening now?
• 8:12
  Do you sometimes have to pretend like like an artist for the sake
• 8:15
  of the show? OK, so we'll start with how many
• 8:18
  countries have been represented. You yourself, Adam and Josh,
• 8:23
  Ash, Jamie are all from Australia, but we've had
• 8:29
  Canadians, a couple Canadians, I believe we've had a Scotsman,
• 8:34
  we've had an Englishman, we've had a Welshman.
• 8:38
  And of course most of the people come from the United States that
• 8:41
  have been on the show. So 6 Andrew's one of the
• 8:44
  Canadians and the other Canadian.
• 8:47
  Oh no, slips my mind. No, she did The Tragically Hip
• 8:51
  episode with us. But most people are American, So
• 8:55
  what was that 6-7 countries represented.
• 8:59
  I found out recently that somehow China is like really
• 9:03
  high on our list all of a sudden of of people listening.
• 9:07
  Curious about that. What's the biggest argument or
• 9:09
  disagreement you can remember happening on the show?
• 9:12
  So the one, the natural one to go to that I remember that I was
• 9:17
  a part of was pour some sugar on me.
• 9:20
  Def Leppard, and if you haven't listened to that episode, I've
• 9:26
  explained this ad nauseam on After the Facts because it's
• 9:30
  come up a lot, but I've never, it's never been put into the
• 9:33
  free feed. What people don't understand
• 9:35
  about that episode, why I was so testy, was I think Def Leppard
• 9:42
  was our third episode that day may have only been the second,
• 9:45
  but the knock on me, the punch on me used to always be Justin
• 9:50
  doesn't like the hits. And that used to be, you know,
• 9:53
  everybody's argument of why I wouldn't have something.
• 9:56
  And I kept insisting with Pour Some Sugar On Me.
• 9:58
  That wasn't the case. It wasn't because it was a hit.
• 10:01
  It was because there were songs that I liked better by them.
• 10:05
  And the panel persisted that Pour Some Sugar on Me should be
• 10:10
  on. And I said, I don't like how it
• 10:15
  makes me feel. I like, there's so many songs
• 10:19
  here that I actually do like and I don't understand why we put
• 10:24
  the one that makes me feel weird.
• 10:26
  Why would we? Why would that be the one that
• 10:28
  we're going to bat for here? And I mean, hindsight being
• 10:31
  2020, you know, I didn't think of this in the moment.
• 10:35
  But if they would have just backed off then and waited until
• 10:37
  it came up in conversation later in the episode, I probably could
• 10:41
  have been persuaded. But instead they decided to
• 10:45
  hound me. And somebody even said, we'll
• 10:48
  see dude. We'll see dude.
• 10:49
  And then I said, yeah, we will see.
• 10:51
  This is my show. We don't do that, so we're not
• 10:53
  going to do that. And I got mad and yelled a
• 10:55
  little bit again. It was, I was testy because we
• 11:01
  we drove up to Fredericksburg for Alfredo sessions and we were
• 11:06
  doing a lot of episodes that day.
• 11:08
  It, it doesn't excuse my behavior, but it does explain my
• 11:11
  behavior. So there's that one.
• 11:14
  Then the other one was that, well, there's three that come to
• 11:18
  mind here, so there's that one. Then of course, like the
• 11:21
  notorious 1 is Guns and Roses. Bob put up a fit about Paradise
• 11:24
  City. Like literally as we were, I was
• 11:28
  wrapping up the show, we were almost done and Bob goes on a 45
• 11:33
  minute tangent of why isn't Paradise City on this episode?
• 11:39
  And so there's that. That didn't get all heated, but
• 11:43
  it wasn't. We almost doubled the the
• 11:45
  episode because of this one song didn't make our make our list.
• 11:50
  And then the most recent one was when we did like the first bit
• 11:53
  of The Rolling Stones. John and Randy really got in a
• 11:57
  heated contest about it was either song 9 or 10, like what
• 12:02
  was going to round out the list. And they neither one wanted to
• 12:06
  back down. And again, I think we went an
• 12:09
  additional like 20 to 30 minutes of just them going back and
• 12:12
  forth between each other and me trying to find the the common
• 12:16
  ground between them was not great.
• 12:20
  And it ended up, I don't even remember what it ended up being.
• 12:25
  Yeah. So that was that's the most
• 12:27
  recent that I could think of. Well, bands have surprised you
• 12:32
  and have become part of your listening now.
• 12:34
  I kind of answered that a little bit earlier.
• 12:36
  I'll throw in because the this questions more specifically
• 12:42
  asking surprised you as opposed to what is kind of technically
• 12:47
  speaking Paramore kind of surprised me that I was so into
• 12:50
  Paramore Sugar. We did earlier this like
• 12:54
  literally just last night as I'm recording this Sugar really
• 12:57
  surprised me because they weren't on my radar at all.
• 13:00
  That's kind of surprised me. I don't know that I have a new
• 13:04
  answer, you know, with the the surprise element.
• 13:09
  Maybe you guys can call me out on this.
• 13:10
  Maybe you Remember Me doing one that that I I said specifically.
• 13:14
  And then do you sometimes have to pretend to like an artist for
• 13:16
  the sake of the show? I guess it depends on what you
• 13:19
  mean by that. I don't I never really fake
• 13:23
  liking an artist. If I didn't like an artist, I
• 13:27
  would say, but I think I'm just at a point because of the show
• 13:32
  that I can like something without loving it.
• 13:39
  I guess. Like there's definitely some
• 13:43
  acts that I, that I ramped up how much I liked them versus
• 13:49
  what I what I actually felt about them.
• 13:50
  And I mean, the, the reality is I don't want to put negativity
• 13:56
  out into the world with this show specifically.
• 13:59
  I don't I never want to yuck anybody's Yum, as it were.
• 14:03
  So I, I try not to ever come into an episode going, yeah,
• 14:09
  look, I didn't like this band. Now there's plenty of bands
• 14:11
  where, you know, I, I mentioned this on for Pink Floyd,
• 14:14
  specifically Steely Dan, where I didn't enjoy the the IT wasn't
• 14:23
  the band that I didn't like. I didn't like how the experience
• 14:27
  for me doing the show, not the show itself, but like the
• 14:31
  research up to the show I didn't like.
• 14:34
  So Pink Floyd jumps out specifically because I had a
• 14:37
  miserable time trying to put together my my Pink Floyd list.
• 14:41
  And not for the usual reasons like decision, decision.
• 14:44
  It's just like, how the hell do you break this up?
• 14:47
  So it's usually more that than anything.
• 14:51
  There's a couple bands that I would just never go back to.
• 14:54
  You know, Alabama's one of those I mentioned, Steely Dan.
• 14:57
  I'll never go back to Steely Dan, although I probably would
• 15:00
  like them now. So maybe I, I can soften on
• 15:03
  that. You know, there's, there's a, a
• 15:05
  handful of bands that we did where it's just like, OK, yeah,
• 15:08
  it existed. You know, it's not, it's not
• 15:11
  something I loved and it's also not something I disliked.
• 15:15
  So there we go. If you have questions that you'd
• 15:18
  like me to answer, then hop into the discord and ask away.
• 15:20
  You can ask anywhere, but the Discord is where it's a little
• 15:24
  bit more centrally located. So I would appreciate that man.
• 15:28
  Sorry guys, I rambled on for 16 minutes answering your
• 15:30
  questions. Oops.
• 15:32
  With that, we'll see you all next week.
• 15:34
  Goodbye.
