Beat Happening · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:34
It's Deprogram, the podcast where we try to get you into a
0:37
band. That's right, we've done all the
0:39
work for you. All you have to do is press play
0:41
and listen. And my name is Justin.
0:44
You could call me band curious because I like to get my friends
0:47
together to talk about bands that they enjoy and find out why
0:50
they enjoy them. And in doing so, we will come up
0:52
with a top ten circuit to get you into the band.
0:56
And you know, I might as well be as direct as possible with this
1:00
'cause there's going to be a beat happening.
1:01
Because today we are talking about beat happening.
1:04
And the two of you seemed really excited about this one.
1:09
I have this one. This one came out of left field.
1:12
I feel like we did Neutral Milk Hotel and the two of you were
1:17
discussing them, John and and then Gavin couldn't make up his
1:21
mind. So you said I want to do beat
1:22
happening so. Yeah.
1:25
So talk to me about Beat Happening and how the hell did
1:28
we get here? Right, so Beat Happening is an
1:36
interesting band. Like they were in our bank.
1:39
Be your life. They are ostensibly a a punk
1:43
band, if only in attitude. They are interesting and like
1:50
they're they're one of these bands that we talk about that's
1:54
super influential, even though they were very small and not
1:59
very like, you know, quote UN quote popular.
2:02
They didn't sell a lot of records in their time, but
2:05
they're like, if you think back like Beat Happening started in
2:10
82 or 83 and like you think about what was going on then.
2:14
Like hardcore had been going on. Punk rock was pretty much over,
2:18
but hardcore was the transitioning into metal and
2:21
like everything was like super, super heavy.
2:24
So like, every once in a while you get these bands or these
2:29
people, these artists that, for lack of a better word, they zig
2:34
when everyone else acts, right? They see what's going on.
2:36
They're like, Nope, this is not for me.
2:39
We're going to do the exact opposite of that.
2:42
And you know, that goes back to like the Velvet Underground,
2:47
like Jonathan Richmond, huge influence.
2:50
Like you think about what was happening at the time, like the
2:53
violent films in Milwaukee, even though like that record became
2:56
huge, like they were on an indie label.
2:58
They were from Milwaukee. Like busking on the street
3:01
playing these like acoustic guitar songs of the guy didn't
3:06
sound like anything else was going on.
3:08
And beat happening starts in Olympia, WA.
3:14
It's the brainchild of this guy Calvin Johnson, who was into
3:21
like college radio and Zenes like things that would become
3:26
popular 10-15 years later. Like they along with, you know,
3:32
you had, you know, minor threat and the, the discord stuff on
3:35
the East Coast, like kind of giving the blueprint for DIY for
3:39
people around the country. Like do it yourself.
3:41
You don't, you don't need a a label.
3:43
Like, you know, the Clash were on CBS records, a major label,
3:47
Ramones from Sire. You know, there wasn't this
3:49
history of bands doing it themselves until this time, like
3:54
808182. So Calvin like starts this
3:59
record Zine. I think K Records, which lasted
4:03
for a long time. I think it's probably even still
4:05
around. And like, you know, it gets
4:08
overshadowed by sub pop in the ladies and early 90s when that
4:11
blows up. But K Records is they've always
4:15
maintained this like integrity and like this this way of doing
4:23
things that they they, you know, they stuck to what they did.
4:26
And like, there's something very like honorable about that in
4:30
this time when like everybody has sold out.
4:34
Like they're it's it says something that like they didn't
4:38
do it And you know, beat happening.
4:42
He he saw what was going on with all this heavy music and he was
4:45
like, Nope, we're we're I'm going to find some people that
4:49
can barely play and we're going to sing songs about cute things
4:53
and love and crushes. And it's going to be this very
4:59
like twee thing and screw anybody who doesn't like it.
5:05
And they were like they would get like people hated them when
5:11
they would play like they would play shows like back in the head
5:15
people be like, what is this? But you know, you they found
5:19
this community up in the Pacific Northwest of like like minded
5:25
people. And you know, this eventually
5:28
leads to, you know, riot girl like like this is part of the
5:35
puzzle of Nirvana. Kurt Cobain, I believe, was a
5:38
huge beat happening fan. He would always talk about K
5:41
records. I think they were even on one of
5:44
their compilations or something early on.
5:46
But the tattoo, yeah, the K Records tattoo.
5:52
And yeah, but Calvin Johnson is one of those people like Ian
5:56
Mackay, like Henry Rollins, who like started this thing and
6:02
like, yeah, it didn't get as popular as as some of the other
6:06
stuff did, but it was just as influential.
6:08
Like, think of some of the bands we've done.
6:10
Like I was just talking to like Bell and Sebastian.
6:12
Like Bell and Sebastian owes a lot to Beat Happening.
6:16
Sleeter Kinney would tell you that Beat Happening was it was a
6:20
big influence on them. A lot of those bands took this
6:24
and like bands around the country.
6:26
Like when I was in in College in the late 90s, you could go into
6:30
any club in Athens or, you know, Portland, Austin, anywhere and
6:36
hear bands that sound like this, that took their influences, said
6:40
we might not be able to play, but we can do this.
6:44
And it's one of those things that kind of sprouted this DIY
6:48
Network in the in the late 80s, early 90s, where people heard
6:52
this and you either hated it or you were like, this is the most
6:57
revolutionary thing I've ever heard.
6:58
Those people were the ones who started bands and started scenes
7:04
in their towns and, and scenes and scenes and scenes.
7:08
And not to make a joke about it, but those are the people that
7:12
like saw this one, like I can do that.
7:15
And it was inspirational for those people in that community.
7:18
And for that reason, it's it's super important.
7:22
It's it's funny, you said some you said either people hate it
7:25
or love it. And the first thing that Gavin
7:27
said once you settled on Beat happening is Justin, you're
7:30
going to hate it. So talk to me about about beat
7:34
happening, Gavin. I kept thinking like this,
7:37
Justin, is Justin going to think that we're we're punking him?
7:41
You know what I mean? Like, what the fuck is this?
7:46
I saw Beat Happening open for Fugazi at Gilman Street on May
7:52
20th, 1990. They fucking do.
7:57
The Offspring play that show. I didn't even know who they
7:59
were. I didn't even watch them.
8:00
I was just like outside. But they like blew me away.
8:04
I didn't know anything about Beat Happening.
8:07
They blew me away and then I bought Black Candy and I was
8:12
like, what the fuck is this? I hated it.
8:16
I was like, this can't be the same band, you know what I mean?
8:19
I was like, this is not what happened at that show.
8:23
I don't even remember what was so amazing about them.
8:26
They were just like incredible. His he was just fucking with the
8:31
crowd and like they were so energetic and so good.
8:35
And then Black Candy just sounded like so rudimentary.
8:41
I just didn't really, I couldn't really appreciate it.
8:43
And then I read our band Could be Your Life and and they are
8:50
not even close to my favorite band in that book, but it's my
8:54
favorite chapter in that book because it just spins like this,
8:59
like fantastic tale of like this group of kids that are like,
9:07
we're going to just completely self mythologize and create our
9:11
own universe. You know, it's like they were
9:15
having like they just went totally analog.
9:17
They were like, we're having dinner parties in the forest and
9:22
like we're going to write each other letters.
9:24
And like they would have like, you know, not been emailing and
9:28
like thrown out their cell phones if that stuff, you know,
9:33
existed at the time when they were doing all that.
9:34
But they were just like, we're going to live a romantic life
9:38
with our friends. And it was so intriguing and
9:42
like so compelling. And then I knew this woman in
9:48
the city who was a tattoo artist and she was covered in tattoos
9:52
and she was like super fierce. And, and I was like, what?
9:56
What? Like I was like, what is that
9:58
like some writing on her arm? And she's like, Oh well, if I
10:01
have like writing on my body, it's only beat happening lyrics.
10:06
That was like all she would get tattooed on her really
10:09
incredible. But like, I'm not like the
10:13
hugest beat happening fan. I have like massive respect for
10:16
them. But every few years I'll be
10:19
like, I'll go back to them and be like, I think I'm ready, you
10:23
know, like, I think I'm ready to like, totally, like, like, get
10:27
struck by this. And I'm like, it can't be as bad
10:31
as I remember, you know? And like, then I'm like, some of
10:35
it is like worse than I remember.
10:36
And then some of it is like, it got it, get it gets me.
10:41
And I'm like, I fucking get it. This is like the Best Song Ever,
10:44
you know? They just have like this like,
10:46
like John was talking about like a fucking brutal commitment to
10:51
innocence, you know, like there's something perverted
10:54
about it, you know, like it's so aggressive.
10:59
It's like young Till I die, you know, like we did the Seven
11:02
Seconds episode. They're fucking, they're
11:04
committed, you know, And there was a few bands in the punk
11:09
scene that would like challenge the scene, like what John was
11:14
talking about. You know, they'll like fuck with
11:17
the, like, they'll fuck with punks and be like, and basically
11:21
be saying like, this is not what punk is.
11:24
It's not macho. It's not aggressive.
11:28
It's it's about something else, like the Butthole Surfers did
11:31
that like there was there's a a few bands that really would like
11:36
challenge the scene and fuck with people and beat happening
11:38
was one of them. They were a disruptor.
11:40
They were a provocateur and you know, it's giving mental illness
11:45
at times, you know, like I'll definitely like, but it was like
11:49
a homing signal for like 16 year old librarians in training, you
11:54
know, like an army of horn, horn rimmed glasses, girls in horn
11:58
rimmed glasses just came out of the woodwork and like really
12:01
responded to them and I'm scoped to be doing this.
12:06
It's like super fun. So obviously I there's nothing
12:13
here for me like I there was. There's nothing I can say
12:17
because this name never came across me like there was.
12:22
I had no expectations. I had nothing other than the
12:25
very few things that you guys had said in the chat leading up.
12:29
But I will say some things that struck me seem like I had them
12:33
in reverse. Cause one of the things I was
12:34
going to come to the table with is that the low effort seemed to
12:38
to be part of it. And it sounds to me like low
12:42
effort wasn't the part of it. It was lack of ability was part
12:46
of it, which I kind of respect more than low effort.
12:52
Yeah. Like the, the, the fact that
12:55
he's just bringing along people who couldn't play and it was
12:58
just like, let's just go do this.
13:00
That does change the narrative. That does change my view.
13:04
You know, a hair on on what's going on here.
13:09
That said it it does get a little low at points and we'll
13:14
we'll cross that as as we get to it.
13:16
There's not a lot here, John. Like again, this is one of those
13:19
bands where you're pretty much like at the ready with with our
13:22
main list. So talk to me like with a band
13:25
like this, you know it. It isn't always like direct
13:29
songs. I mean, I likened them get
13:33
another band here in a row to to the frogs where it's like the
13:37
where the frogs had the the talent, but they were they were
13:41
being ridiculous. Whereas this band is almost the
13:45
inverse. Is is picking 20 for this as
13:50
easy as just I'm taking the best 20?
13:52
Or is there another strategy to this?
13:57
Yeah, I mean, it's they they were around for about 10 years.
14:02
You know, they lasted until 92 and by that time they had like
14:08
gotten a little more polished and like, you know, learned a
14:12
little bit. The songs are a little more, you
14:14
know, flushed out and they were doing, they were doing some
14:18
different things musically. But yeah, it's just I just, I
14:23
basically just went through like it's it's not a huge list.
14:26
I think would 63 songs. So I had like maybe 5 that I
14:34
knew that I was going to have on there like some of my favorites
14:37
of theirs. And then they just going in
14:41
through and trying to pick out like what I thought best
14:44
represented them. It wasn't like I didn't have to
14:48
do a lot of like reworking. I think as I was working up, I,
14:53
I got to the last album and I think I had 17 or 18 and I was
14:59
like, well this is perfect. So I just, you know, picked a
15:01
couple off the last record and then I pretty much just went
15:03
with it. It was.
15:04
It was pretty quick and easy. So I don't know if this is
15:09
something that you kind of already had your 20 ready to go,
15:14
Gavin, or is this something you just made quick work of?
15:18
I just made quick work of it gone put together a good list
15:22
like I I had, you know, 3 or 4 songs that I love and I knew
15:26
that I loved. It was fun to go back and like
15:30
really concentrate on these records.
15:34
I really love their last record the best from 92.
15:38
Like John was saying, maybe that just them like or you like you
15:42
were saying Justin getting that time, getting more proficient
15:45
like works for me. But I think that's her most
15:50
solid record. Yeah, it was fun.
15:53
It was easy. I agree that the last record was
15:59
easily my favorite and the one that I was able to like latch
16:04
onto the most. But I will say this, if in doing
16:10
this, this is one of those things where it's like you, you
16:13
have to kind of even it out because you have to show the
16:17
story. And if I just show their best
16:21
record, which just happens to be the last one, I'm doing a
16:24
disservice to what the band is and or was and where they came
16:28
from. So like some of the cringe
16:31
worthy stuff from early on, I I brought to the table, you know,
16:35
like, I mean, a lot of the ones that I was just like, like you
16:40
could tell there's something there.
16:42
And it's just like, man, if there was just a little bit more
16:45
thought and time put into this song, it would be really good.
16:49
And I just that. Would defeat the purpose like
16:51
that's not. What they're about exactly, You
16:53
know, And I, I, I, I got that by the end of the first record, I
16:56
was like, oh, that's why I said like, oh, the lack of the effort
16:59
is part of the thing. So it's like, yeah, like I'm
17:04
glad that I didn't just stick to the last record and then like
17:08
kept a few from the earlier stuff because it felt like I
17:13
needed some of everything to really represent the band.
17:17
So I mean, that said John I this could ease this could either
17:26
easily get out of hand. This feels like it could get out
17:29
of hand either way. Like it could be just total
17:32
annihilation 13 through, we're talking about making cuts, or it
17:36
could be like we get nothing. So what do you think here?
17:41
How do you think we do for the final say?
17:43
Yeah. Well, again, this this panel
17:47
with, with Gavin and I together, I think it's going to live up to
17:49
its reputation again, where we come at these bands from a very
17:54
different perspective. And we we have a hard time.
17:59
Like the Venn diagram of, of us has a very small sliver in the
18:04
middle, even though there are a lot of the same bands.
18:08
So I'm not expecting us to get very many.
18:11
I'm going to say 3. OK.
18:13
Yeah, that seems right, we think, Gavin.
18:18
Yeah, it's funny. Like there's a like the the Venn
18:22
diagram of bands that John and I have is like just one purple
18:26
like we like to see. I'm going to go 5.
18:31
I think that we're going to pull some out of here that like rise
18:35
to the top. Oh, boy.
18:37
All right. Well, then I'll go the other
18:39
way. I'm going to.
18:41
I'm going to go with eight. I think it's possible.
18:44
I don't think it's out of the out of the realm.
18:46
I, I tend to lean towards where John is, but I, I, I don't think
18:52
it's impossible that there was 8 songs that we are all like,
18:56
yeah, I can get into that. And then, and then, you know,
18:59
then it's only two left to fill out the list.
19:02
So I'm going to go with eight. I'm going to, I'm to, to steal
19:06
your thing over over the last year.
19:08
I feel like the math kind of works for a higher pick.
19:12
So I mean there's different reasons to like different songs.
19:16
So like I, I like everybody's thought processes here, but I'm
19:20
going to go high. All right.
19:21
With that, we're going to take a quick pause and we will be right
19:24
back. It's the programmed.
19:33
And with that, the name of the game is deprogrammed.
19:35
The three of us have come through the Beat Happening
19:37
discography and plucked out 20 songs that we're now going to
19:39
mash together in an attempt to create a top ten circuit for
19:42
you. In case you have never, like me,
19:46
heard of Beat Happening, I'm going to go different here.
19:51
Instead of doing the thing, I'm going to do a different thing
19:56
where I I just genuinely loved this song and.
20:02
I found myself singing it the next day and I was like, OK, so
20:07
there's something to this. Maybe I'm alone, but I hope I'm
20:11
not. How about bury the hammer?
20:15
No, no. Oh, but I'm glad you like it.
20:22
Oh. Yeah, No, we, we might be wrong
20:25
on that. I think you're I like.
20:27
You. Yeah, yeah.
20:29
That's. The last on the last record.
20:32
Yeah, yeah. It left me with a feeling that I
20:35
didn't expect the feel for this band, so I forgot to copy the
20:44
playlist. Hold on, make a copy.
20:48
I'm doing stuff live into a microphone because I will not
20:53
edit this beat happening, gets a one and is going to go into the
20:57
bin. Come on, computer, bury the
21:07
hammer. Just me.
21:14
All right, John all. Right, I'm gonna go with the one
21:19
that gets stuck in my head the most.
21:23
The chorus. Like it?
21:25
You wouldn't think that it would, but it's it's just an
21:28
earworm. And I was singing it all day
21:30
today. It's maybe their most popular
21:33
song. How about Indian summer?
21:35
Yeah. Oh yeah.
21:37
All right, cool. That's such an amazing song and
21:41
it a lot of people cover it, you know?
21:44
Oh, really? Yeah, I have a cool record with
21:49
Spectrum doing it like Sonic Boom from Basement 3 doing it
21:55
really cool. And yeah, that's kind of a indie
21:58
standard, you know? Yeah, all.
22:02
Right. I love that song.
22:04
I meant I meant to mention this in my like I can't take full
22:10
credit for Indian Summer specifically, but I meant to
22:13
mention this. I did balance my first pass
22:16
against a top 20 list that I found and I was like, I have
22:22
most of these. I'll just cut out a few other
22:26
ones. Indian Summer happened to be one
22:27
of them. So nice.
22:30
All right, Gavin. I took a song off Jamboree where
22:38
other is kind of doing a MO Tucker thing with like no music
22:41
behind her. I took ask me.
22:44
Oh, I actually really like that one, but I didn't keep it.
22:48
Yeah, close, but didn't have room.
22:51
I think that was one of my last ones.
22:53
I like her songs though I have a few of them.
22:55
Yeah, yeah, same. All right, we're background to
23:00
me. How about I'll go to the top of
23:07
my list? How about our secret?
23:11
Yeah, Yep. Hey, how cool.
23:17
Nice 1. I did that.
23:20
I I like, I like the the first record on Spotify has all that
23:26
extra stuff, you know, so I like separated it from the the
23:29
regular record and then like the extras are all between 83 and 85
23:34
and our secret, like the first one of those is really good.
23:37
That's a great song all. Right.
23:43
I there was so much that I forgot to do before.
23:46
Usually I don't. Usually I'm a much more
23:49
prepared, which is funny because you wouldn't know it.
23:52
Well, this is perfect for beat happening.
23:55
Yeah, exactly. It actually works out in my
23:57
favor. So all right, our secret gets
24:00
in. Boom boom boom, John all.
24:05
Right, I'm going to go back to the last record and this song
24:13
did. There was a a girl band of years
24:16
later that took their name from it, I believe.
24:20
Put out some records on OK as well.
24:21
How about Tiger Trap? Yes.
24:23
Yeah, yeah. Nice.
24:27
There we go. Last record represent, I
24:30
believe. Is that track one on that one?
24:33
Yep. Yeah.
24:38
Come on, I'll tell you what, this is going to be weird.
24:43
But like when I went back to look at the list later and saw
24:47
that this minute was or this song was 6 minutes and 53
24:50
seconds, I was like, really? I didn't feel that way like.
24:55
Usually not even the longest one on that.
24:57
Album though, yeah, usually when something gets that long, I'm
25:01
starting to get the OK, I get what's going on here.
25:04
I just kind of fell into it. So that kind of really set the
25:08
tone for what to expect on that last record.
25:12
So Tiger Trap is in. I have to type all these guys
25:19
felt I'm I'm sorry for being unprepared.
25:22
Like like we said it, it actually makes sense in this
25:25
instance, but still, all right, Tiger trap is in and Gavin.
25:32
I forgot how much like they clearly like love the cramps.
25:38
You know, they're like so much of I don't know, it just feels
25:43
like young fans of the cramps or like and like maybe even like
25:49
flies on sherbert, like Alex Chilton's like holy fucked up
25:52
record after big star. You know, I took bad seeds too
26:00
off the extras record. I like the I like bad seeds too,
26:03
better than the regular bad seeds.
26:05
Off beat happening. I was close.
26:11
Yeah, no, I don't have it. I don't have a story either, but
26:15
I feel like that's going to be a lot of that too here.
26:20
I'm going to try to bend every song has no mods to be
26:24
happening. Yeah, yeah.
26:30
All right, I'm going to go to the last record.
26:32
How about noise? Yeah.
26:37
Hey. No all.
26:40
Right. We'll take AT there.
26:42
And that was. A good one.
26:43
Yeah. I was listening to that one just
26:46
as you logged in, Gavin. I was listening to it.
26:49
I was like, Oh yeah, I'm glad I got that one.
26:53
All right, John all. Right.
26:57
How about midnight a go go? No.
27:03
Can't save you friend, sorry. Jamboree.
27:09
All right, Gavin. One of my all time favorite top
27:16
three songs by then. I took Cast a Shadow off Black
27:19
Candy. Yeah.
27:23
Yep. Hey, nice cast a shadow runs a
27:28
three boom and then let's get a clip here.
27:37
Usually I only have to do one of these things at a time.
27:45
I've made it so I've had to do like 3.
27:52
All right, so we're back around to me, eh, The thing the the
28:01
thing about this band is I don't feel like there's a groove I can
28:04
settle into like an where I can find you guys.
28:08
Like if this feels like it, just whatever man, whatever jumps out
28:12
at me is what I'm going to play. How about?
28:22
How about me untamed? No.
28:28
No all. Right me untamed.
28:31
Into the bin she goes. All right, John all.
28:39
Right, I'll go with another one of their iconic songs.
28:43
How about Hot Chocolate Boy? No.
28:46
No. Oh, that's surprising.
28:50
Yeah. OK.
28:54
Well, everything about this is, yeah, the fact that we're doing
28:59
it kinda is. All right, Gavin.
29:05
I took their greatest song that we have to send to the best of
29:08
the year. You guys take Christmas?
29:13
No, I didn't know that. No.
29:18
Fun. So awesome.
29:22
All right, I don't know. How about foggy eyes?
29:34
Yeah. Yes.
29:37
Hey. That their first single I think
29:40
it might be. I'm surprised that that's early.
29:45
I think our secret was the first single.
29:47
Right. The fact that yeah, you're right
29:50
is a single is wild to me. It's in there were like there's
29:54
a there's a bunch of tapes and like, right, yeah, who knows
29:58
all. Right, 1-2 and three.
30:05
What's that at? Puts us at 5:00.
30:08
Yeah, and we blew right past my 3.
30:10
Yeah, we got. A good, good little bit left
30:14
here too. Maybe I'm not so crazy.
30:16
Hey, all right, John. So Speaking of that first
30:22
single, I took the B side. It's a Heather song.
30:25
What's important? Yeah, yeah, cool.
30:30
Yeah, a really cool song. All right, what's?
30:34
You haven't, Justin. Yes, I did.
30:36
Nice. And we're rocketing toward
30:40
Justin's 8. Here I know it would be nice to
30:43
go past it. We're still not out of NTP.
30:47
We got nothing in a conversation.
30:49
Yeah. We got noise.
30:51
We got one, yeah. One song, yeah.
30:53
Oh yeah, I got you. Yeah, you're right.
30:58
But I know what I would pick if I do end up winning, so OK pour.
31:05
Christmas out of the trash. For sure.
31:09
Do a lyric search, people do a lyric search.
31:11
That's all I can think. All right, let's see.
31:13
So what's important is in and that one was John.
31:16
So, Gavin. It took Cry for a Shadow off
31:20
Dreamy. Yeah, 91.
31:22
I got it. No all.
31:28
Right cry for shadow man. I tell you, I'm really sometimes
31:38
I'm not sure like how much the prep for the show, like the
31:41
putting it into the the sheet ahead of time is helping me.
31:47
I'm really realizing it right now.
31:52
All right, how about TV Girl? Yeah.
32:04
No. All right, TV, Come on, TV girl.
32:15
It's a 2. And I think does that put us at
32:20
9 between two? Yeah.
32:24
Yeah. All right, John.
32:32
I I took the first version of run down the stairs.
32:37
No, no. OK, Run down the stairs, Dash 1.
32:48
All right, Gavin. When I was like in grad school
33:00
and like writing fiction, I was getting an MFA at the University
33:06
of Oregon. They were like, I had a teacher
33:08
that was like, you don't wait for inspiration to happen to
33:14
you. You show up at the same time
33:16
every day at the desk to write and then you're there ready when
33:22
it strikes and it beat happening.
33:25
Reminds me of that. It's like, what if you didn't
33:28
worry about talent, but you just refused to stop writing songs?
33:32
And then sometimes you get lucky.
33:34
Like, you know, a broken clock is right.
33:36
Twice a day. I took fortune cookie prize off
33:40
Dreamy. Yeah.
33:42
I got it. No.
33:46
All right, we'll take a two there Fortune.
33:50
I think the NTP is officially out of plate now.
33:58
One and one. All right, I'll go back to the
34:09
beginning. How about Bewitched?
34:13
No. No.
34:16
All right. But that seems like a show they
34:18
would love. Into the bin she goes, and John.
34:27
All right, I took the the 9 minute song off of You Turn Me
34:32
On. How about Godsend?
34:33
Yeah. Yeah, it's so good.
34:37
That's one of my like, top three songs by then.
34:40
Nice. Did you take a Justin?
34:42
I did, yes. Killer.
34:48
Wow, wow, who would have guessed?
34:51
I guess me sort. Of.
34:55
I guess me. Hold on, let me queue it up
34:58
here. Yeah, 9 1/2 minutes again.
35:02
Who would have guessed that that wouldn't be a turn off in a, in
35:09
a, on a band like this? You know, you would think the
35:14
longer it goes on, the quicker you'd be out.
35:17
Yeah, right. All right, so bets or or
35:23
Godsend? Was John right?
35:26
Yeah, yeah. All right, so Gavin, you're up.
35:29
Yeah, like brevity is their friend.
35:31
You know, you want to get in and get out quick.
35:34
I took Heyday off the last record.
35:36
Oh. Fuck, that was no, that was
35:42
literally #21A. Good one.
35:46
I love that one. I love that one that that's just
35:51
me trying to play the game, trying to cover more stuff.
35:56
All right, let's see what do we got here, 123456 Let's see one
36:01
more round and then dump out. How about Knick knack?
36:11
No. No.
36:13
I chose wrong Knick pick Mac. All right, John.
36:26
All right, how about revolution come and gone?
36:28
No. Almost.
36:32
That was late, late Cut and Gavin.
36:36
That's a John. That's a John title we could
36:39
have guessed. Yeah, that's true.
36:40
Yeah. That's true.
36:42
All right, Gavin. I took left behind off Dreamy.
36:48
Nope. I got it.
36:54
Oh cool. Left behind is A2 boom and boom
37:01
all right. I think that's the first one
37:03
that Gavin and I have had without Justin.
37:08
Why is this not going through? I don't like this.
37:14
I think it's because I didn't do.
37:18
All right, that's fine. Let's shift this around real
37:23
quick before I dump out just to see what we got here.
37:27
OK. So, yeah, there's going to be
37:28
some cuts to be had. And what are we at, 7123?
37:34
Yes, 7. OK.
37:35
I still got 8 left. Wow 12345 I've got 5 left so I'm
37:44
going to type it in first Hangman.
37:48
No. No.
37:51
OK, other side. Yeah, of Black Key?
37:59
No. OK take a two there other side 2
38:07
collide. No, no all.
38:12
Right. Red Hood walking.
38:22
No. No.
38:24
Red Hood walking. That's a people love that song.
38:30
That's a big song for them. That didn't make my list.
38:36
I feel like that was just confirmation bias.
38:38
I saw it in the list and I was like, OK, yeah, I'm on the right
38:41
path. And last but not least, teenage
38:44
caveman. Yeah.
38:47
No. Oh, almost.
38:53
That's all right. We'll take that two there and
38:58
boom, boom, boom. Let me shift that around.
39:00
All right, John all. Right, I still have 8, so get
39:05
ready. Wow, the fall.
39:09
No. Youth.
39:12
Yes, killer song. Early song.
39:16
Yeah, 123. No.
39:21
In between. No.
39:25
Catwalk. No.
39:28
Black candy. No.
39:31
Pajama party in a haunted hive. No.
39:36
And last but not least, ponytail.
39:40
Yes. OK, we got a couple.
39:44
Yeah, and what was the last one? Ponytail.
39:48
Ponytail. A black candy.
39:50
Great song and. Then we'll mark that as a 2.
39:55
Last track so. Yeah, that's a John thing 11.
40:01
You got to be pretty close to cleared out by now, right Gavin?
40:04
I'm out. Oh, there you go.
40:05
Perfect. All right, so we landed on 7, so
40:11
I was almost right. Let me shift this around and
40:14
we'll get to work here. Oh man, this is going to be way
40:18
more difficult than it needs to be.
40:22
Indian summer, our secret tiger trap cast a shadow foggy eyes.
40:27
What's important and godsend are in all right, let me Scroll down
40:33
a bit here. So the ones that have twos noise
40:37
cry for a shadow. TV girl fortune cookie prize
40:40
left behind other side, teenage caveman youth ponytail and
40:46
that's it. I almost read Bury the Hammer,
40:48
but that was the one. Is there one when I read those,
40:53
John, that you're like, well, we need to have that?
41:02
I'd say either left behind or ponytail.
41:08
I mean, the real answer is hot chocolate boy, but you guys
41:10
didn't have that one. So yeah, I'd say either one of
41:14
those would be the next one I would go for, but I didn't have
41:18
a lot of these that that's unusual.
41:20
You guys were were dominating the twos so.
41:23
Yeah. Do you have a preference to the
41:26
between those two Gavin left behind?
41:29
What was the other one? Left behind.
41:36
No, I don't have a preference, but I'm looking at the split
41:43
just for kicks. Yeah, so Ponytail is off black
41:52
Candy and Left Behind is off Dreamy.
41:59
We don't have anything off Dreamy, so let's take Left
42:01
Behind all. Right.
42:03
Yeah, that's fair. Yep.
42:05
Even though it should be hot chocolate boy for.
42:07
The record. All right, boom, that gives us
42:12
up to 8. All right.
42:14
So is there another one that's kind of jumping out at you from
42:19
the other songs, Gavin? The one that the ones that you
42:21
and I matched on? Maybe.
42:29
Noise. If you turn me on, I.
42:33
Mean obviously, obviously I'm, I'm on board.
42:36
Is John on board is the question.
42:39
Yeah, I can go for that. All right, so let's grab that.
42:43
All right, now let's talk about this last song.
42:45
I'll run these twos down one last go cry for a shadow TV girl
42:49
fortune cookie prize. Other side, teenage caveman
42:53
youth and ponytail. Is there one like that's really
42:59
screaming out at this point, John, or are we just kind of
43:02
Best Song available? I think we have a lot of the
43:06
later stuff. I'd probably say youth who
43:09
probably read about the best. Yeah, that's what I was going to
43:12
say too. With it, boom, I was the odd man
43:15
out there. Let's grab that shift this on up
43:20
as #10 and I think 12345678910. Yes, OK, Indian summer, our
43:30
secret tiger trap cast a shadow foggy eyes.
43:33
What's important Godsend left behind noise and youth will
43:36
round out our ten. I read those 10 down John I this
43:41
one doesn't. I mean, is this easier than it
43:45
seems in my brain? Yeah, I mean, I'm tempted to go
43:51
with something like youth. It's like very juvenile and
43:56
very, you know, early. But I mean, what are we doing
44:01
here? It's Indian Summer.
44:02
That's their, that's their song. Yeah, OK, good.
44:06
Let's not. Yeah, let's not overthink it.
44:08
Let's go with Indian Summer again.
44:10
That one, we all agreed on it. It's one of their biggest songs.
44:15
So Indian Summer it is not overthinking the room.
44:19
Let me get that queued up, I'll read us down.
44:21
The last go Indian summer, our secret tiger trap cast a shadow.
44:26
Foggy eyes, what's important Godsend left behind noise and
44:30
youth. And with that, let's let Indian
44:31
Summer get a moment in the sun. Apple blossom just a.
44:38
Boy, playing possum. We'll come back.
44:41
You know, I noted this when I was listening to this song on
44:46
the way, you know, doing my first pass and then earlier when
44:50
I was listening to it. I wonder if I forget the name of
44:54
the band. Is it MGMT, the wimp wimp?
45:00
More on more on this later. More on this later.
45:02
But it, it, it sounds like they may have sampled this.
45:06
I'm going to have to look that up that.
45:07
Oh cool. I think, I think that will be
45:10
part of what's about to happen on the after the fact, which you
45:13
can listen to by pledging a dollar amount at the
45:16
patreonpatreon.com/oh. Hi Justin, as I mentioned, you
45:19
get the after the fact conversation that we are about
45:21
to have and you get deprogrammed before the rest of the world
45:25
working on other things to happen there.
45:30
But I'm also working on trying to make deprogrammed A5 an
45:35
everyday program. So five days a week, five
45:38
programs looking like Monday, I'm going to run down what's
45:42
going to happen for the week. By the time this episode comes
45:45
out, I'll hopefully I've already been doing it for a while.
45:48
So you won't need this. And then Thursday's obviously
45:51
the episode open to ideas to what to fill the rest of it with
45:56
some of it's going to be conversations.
45:58
There's there's all sorts of things that can go in these
46:01
spots. Ideas.
