Latest / Deprogrammed Music Podcast / Panic! At the Disco
Transcript
- 0:31It's to program the podcast where we try to get you into a
- 0:34band today is Panic at the Disco and.
- 0:38You will not be. In any panic in my voice, but it
- 0:42may be excitement because of exclamation points #1 and #2
- 0:45Katie, you're back. Oh my God, five years later, I
- 0:52think so. First of all, this is easily the
- 0:54biggest time in between guest appearances #2 I think Leslie
- 1:02technically Put Panic at the Disco on the board.
- 1:05Life happens. She couldn't be here.
- 1:08So we're going to go to you. We're going to, we're going to
- 1:09suggest that you put Panic at the Disco on the board.
- 1:12Talk to me why you Panic at the Disco was your way back here.
- 1:16What do you love about Panic at the Disco?
- 1:19I think for me, Panic at the Disco has, from the moment I
- 1:24started listening to them when I was a freshman in college, their
- 1:28music has just evoked emotion for me.
- 1:32Whether I was the biggest fan of a particular album or not, And
- 1:36regardless of the evolution that the band itself has taken,
- 1:41whatever, whenever I hear a good Panic song, there is an emotion
- 1:46or a feeling that makes you just want to either take over the
- 1:51world or sit in somber reflection.
- 1:53I think that this stylings just really bring out a feeling with
- 1:59their music and even it again, even if you're not a biggest the
- 2:04biggest fan of one of their songs, when you see them live,
- 2:07they will make you one of the biggest fans of a particular
- 2:10song. OK, more on that later because
- 2:15I've got I've got things, but I I don't want to disparage.
- 2:17We'll talk about that probably in after the fact.
- 2:21So Jason, you, you jumped on the Panic at the Disco, and this is
- 2:24your first foray away from what would be considered traditional
- 2:28emo. So walk me through Panic at the
- 2:31Disco. How did you get here?
- 2:33I still see them. I mean it, it all kind of blends
- 2:36into that area for me. They were the band that when
- 2:39they came out, I remember they toured this area, at least in
- 2:42the Norfolk. They came with Fall Out Boy and
- 2:45it was one of those bands that at the time was like, oh, that's
- 2:47not a pop punk band. That's not a they're not cool.
- 2:49They won't do it. And then you listen to the first
- 2:51album, you're like son of a bitch.
- 2:53I actually really like this. And then you hear Brandon Yuri's
- 2:56voice and you're just like, I can't not say he's a great
- 2:58singer. So they kind of fell in that way
- 3:01and then I've enjoyed them ever since, so.
- 3:05So for me, this is this isn't like this is definitely
- 3:10discovery, but it's also like a a chance for me to disprove my
- 3:15thoughts of what panic is. And it's weird because they are
- 3:20what I think they were, but they're also not because the
- 3:25first album would suggest I, I know you said that, that you put
- 3:28them, you know, kind of close to that emo end.
- 3:32I guess to Katie's point, they do evoke emotion, which is emo
- 3:38in long form. But I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't
- 3:42consider them that like in the, the very traditional sense, I
- 3:47think. I think they're, they're more
- 3:49akin to, to a queen, like a, a theatre rock.
- 3:52And, you know, they're, you know, it's hard to say that
- 3:58because, you know, you say queen and it evokes queen, you know,
- 4:02you know, let's let's quell that right now.
- 4:04They're not queen, but but they are very good at what they do,
- 4:09which was very surprising to me because, you know, I they've got
- 4:13paragraphs as as song titles, which is always irritating to
- 4:17me. They've you know, I wanted to
- 4:20like when they came along, like Brendan's voice is that that
- 4:25thing that I always wanted to. I hate that.
- 4:28Oh, don't do that. So like there's a lot that I
- 4:32overcame here. Oh, look at me with my white man
- 4:36struggle, overcome panic at the disco.
- 4:37But I did like I, I had to get over myself and really listen to
- 4:41what panic at the disco is. So that being said, you know,
- 4:47this isn't a massive discography, Katie, like, but
- 4:50this is the first time you've been back.
- 4:52So as you're, as you're plucking your 20 together, like how did,
- 4:55how did you go about it? Well, I will say that I
- 5:00definitely remember my approach five years ago being different
- 5:03because I did. I'll admit, especially with more
- 5:07of the pop acts, I would put radio play into consideration.
- 5:13Completely abandoned that for this.
- 5:16You know, I if it happened to be a single of theirs that made my
- 5:21list great, but it was I will say most of the single that I
- 5:27added were probably I would actually looking at my list.
- 5:30I think all of the singles I added were 12 or later.
- 5:34So I definitely went, I all admit I went very emotional and
- 5:39nostalgia based, you know, harkening back to 18 year old
- 5:42Katie, you know, being the, you know, absolute challenge that
- 5:45she was. And you know, then going through
- 5:48the pretty odd phase and then, you know, vices and virtues.
- 5:512011 was just a wild time in my life.
- 5:55And then I I'll admit Pray for the Wicked is probably my second
- 5:59favorite album, second only to a figure you can't sweat out.
- 6:02So like replaying that was a big one as well.
- 6:05OK. So Jason, this is what your
- 6:07third or fourth time here, I don't know, like have you been
- 6:10refining the way you play like did, did you, did you play a
- 6:13little different this time or, or how did you approach your 20?
- 6:18I think this one, I mean, I spread out a little more.
- 6:21There are still 2 heavier albums and I won't talk about that one
- 6:24for now because I'm interested. I think Katie and I are going to
- 6:27be a little more aligned on one of them.
- 6:28And I don't know how you're going to be because it's you
- 6:31have to kind of learn Justin, when you play this game, if
- 6:33you're, excuse me, always the player with you.
- 6:36So knowing which album you probably hate is going to be
- 6:41make this an interesting game. So I'll say this, there was
- 6:45nothing I hated, you know, as albums.
- 6:49I didn't like the back half as much.
- 6:53But strangely, like there's the songs that I love the most are
- 6:57in the back half of the Discog. So like albums as Holes, I like
- 7:01the first 2 the best. And then as we went, as you go
- 7:06on, like the albums felt weaker, but some of the strong's like
- 7:12really got to me. So, yeah, like I, I, so I, I
- 7:19definitely went fever heavy, I'll tell you that much for the
- 7:23purposes for the purposes of this game, because I feel like
- 7:27if you draw somebody in, you can get them to those later records
- 7:32on their own. And so I figured if kind of what
- 7:36Katie was saying, if if you appeal to 18 year olds, you
- 7:40know, if if you peel the people like looking back to their 18
- 7:43year old selves and go here this and then they go, oh, that's
- 7:47what they are, then maybe they can grow with the band, you
- 7:50know, in hindsight. So that that is of course,
- 7:56that's going to make for interesting conversation.
- 7:58So this is the first time you've done this, Katie, for the final
- 8:02say, how many do you think based on this conversation we just
- 8:06had? How many do you think we're
- 8:07going to get through unanimously?
- 8:10Fortune favors the bold. I am going to go with six.
- 8:14Wow, OK, it's swinging heavy. I.
- 8:17Like it. You know what you miss?
- 8:19You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
- 8:21Wayne Gretzky. Michael Scott.
- 8:24I love it. I love it swinging hard.
- 8:26All right, Jason. I go, I was thinking 6, but I
- 8:31want to go 5 just because I know a fever you can't sweat out.
- 8:34You can almost pick out any of the songs.
- 8:37So I'm afraid we're going to be hitting the same songs, maybe
- 8:41not all three at once. Yeah, that's that's a very good
- 8:44point. Cute.
- 8:47So now the question becomes, do I become a Dick and undercut you
- 8:51guys and go 4 or do I go Alta ultra confident and go up and
- 8:57above at 7:00 or do I prices write it and go one?
- 9:03Ah, man has five and six seem I'm going to 4 is my normal
- 9:08number and it's never available available to me.
- 9:11We're only 3-4, seems low, but I'm going to go with four.
- 9:15Just hedging my bet here. So all right, we're going to
- 9:18take a quick pause and when we come back, it's all about some
- 9:22gameplay. It's all about exclamation
- 9:24points. It's all about panic at the
- 9:25disco. It's appropriate.

- 10:09through the panic at the Disco discography.
- 10:11That's a lot to say. Disco discography.
- 10:15Oh, I almost. Panic at the discography.
- 10:17Panic at the discography and we have plucked out 20 songs that
- 10:22are now going to mash together in an attempt to create a top
- 10:25ten circuit for you. In case you are like me and have
- 10:28never given Panic at the Disco the time of day which you're
- 10:31wrong. Look, I love when a band gets it
- 10:35right. I don't care how many times I
- 10:37have to say this, I love when a band gets it right, right, right
- 10:40out of the gate. Now, the real track woman is the
- 10:43introduction. We're not going to count that.
- 10:46The second I heard this, I was like, OK, that's what Panic at
- 10:48the Disco does. And you know they do it better
- 10:52at later points. But to me, this set sets the
- 10:55tone and also is a paragraph for a name.
- 10:59The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press
- 11:02coverage. Yep.
- 11:04Yep. Hey, there we go.
- 11:07Starting strong, hey? Yeah.
- 11:10Well, you know, just. Great.
- 11:14That's not supposed to go through my phone.
- 11:15Supposed to come through here. There we go.
- 11:21But like a media, I was like, Oh yeah, OK, this is what they do.
- 11:24And and then that it's the nice little garnish.
- 11:32I feel like when they throw the guitars and like that nice
- 11:35little garnish. I am embarrassed as to how long
- 11:39this was my like quote UN quote song on Myspace.
- 11:44It was a really long time. That's OK though.
- 11:49I mean, they're they're a pure volume bin.
- 11:50That's how they were found. So hey, yeah, I'm good dig.
- 11:54I was. Going to say like I was this the
- 11:57the break? I know this wasn't like the one,
- 12:00you know, the hit. Was this the first one or was
- 12:03this behind? This was behind the other one.
- 12:07Oh, OK. All right.
- 12:10Well, I got one in Katie. All right, so I am actually
- 12:16going to stay in the fever you can't sweat out genre.
- 12:23Not only is this probably, I'd say, oh God, even thinking about
- 12:30it now, I'm like, Oh well, maybe it's top three.
- 12:31Maybe it's top five. One of the top tracks on the
- 12:33album Time to Dance. Yeah, I got it.
- 12:37Do not have it. Two out of two out of three
- 12:41ain't bad. It still lives to see another
- 12:43day. All right, Jason.
- 12:49Here, I'll, I'll stay, I'll stay with you guys on the same album
- 12:51for now and just go with another paragraph for a title where I
- 12:57think they were competing with Fall Out Boy.
- 12:59That that's our family motto on this.
- 13:01But London beckon. Songs about money written by
- 13:05machines. I got it.
- 13:07I do not. Oh, interesting.
- 13:10Exactly as Jason was saying though.
- 13:13Getting twos. Getting lots and lots of twos.
- 13:16I just I just love the chorus that it basically explains them
- 13:20the the wet dream for the web scene.
- 13:24Now there. You go.
- 13:29So for the record, my top three are already all gone.
- 13:33So just like that, all right, I'm going to jump off.
- 13:38I'm going to be the first to jump off the album.
- 13:40OK, I. Feel like we've got we've got
- 13:43plenty of time. We've got plenty of paragraphs.
- 13:47This one shocked me because I remember very vividly hating
- 13:50this when it hit the radio and when I heard it this time with
- 13:55within the within the pretty odd album and everything that's
- 14:01going on there and having a better understanding of of what
- 14:03the band like the the idea that they're a theater band. 9:00 in
- 14:07the afternoon. I love that song.
- 14:10Absolutely. Oh wow, that's there you go.
- 14:15There we go. And and that is my favorite song
- 14:18on Pretty Odd I Yes, it is. It was the lead off single for
- 14:23the album and yeah, the one that got the most airplay.
- 14:26Fight me. I still love it.
- 14:27Well. Yeah, but like, again, this,
- 14:30this song specifically is the one where you have to let go of
- 14:35what you thought they were and realize, realize sure, they're
- 14:40not clean, but they're in that neighborhood.
- 14:42Like that's, that's what they do and they do it really well.
- 14:45Let them do that and you will be OK with this man.
- 14:48And this is a great, great instance of that.
- 14:53Yeah, All I could think with this song was it's like they're
- 14:55trying to be The Beatles in this album and like a stripped down
- 14:58Beatles. And this, this song is to that
- 15:00feeling to me. Totally.
- 15:01Yeah, I get it. All right.
- 15:04How about that? I never would have guessed.
- 15:08I guess I did take 2 two home runs.
- 15:13They're pretty big ones. Yeah, those are big ones.
- 15:15All right, Katie. So I will also jump off a fever,
- 15:20but I'm going to jump even later.
- 15:23There are certain ways to my heart. 1 words of affirmation to
- 15:31tacos and three sampling rock lobster by the B50 twos from
- 15:36Death of a Bachelor. I'm going with don't threaten me
- 15:38with a good time. I got it.
- 15:40Got it. Hey yeah, rock lobster.
- 15:46I'm getting ready to start listening to B50 twos so.
- 15:54It's just a fun story leaves in there.
- 16:00Well, again, so this was something I had to wrestle with
- 16:03and and we've already, we've already talked about this like
- 16:05several times and but I, I need to get my thoughts out on this.
- 16:08Like I thought they were more akin to Fall Out Boy.
- 16:13And I guess like when you watch the evolution, like what what
- 16:16they became true, if that's true, but the evolution panic
- 16:21does so much better than Fall Out Boy did like fall out Boy's
- 16:24later records are are not good. Panics are good, and they are
- 16:29exactly what Fall Out Boy was trying to do.
- 16:33And I think I think a big role in that is definitely the
- 16:35manning of it, because Panic at the Disco is now solely Brendan
- 16:39Yuri. You know, when it started with A
- 16:42Fever You Can't Spit out, it was a quartet and then it was a
- 16:45different quartet than it was a duo.
- 16:47And now it's just Brendan. So I definitely think there is
- 16:51like almost a reflection of how the band looked and how the band
- 16:56sounded. Yeah, What's funny?
- 17:00Like I used to make fun of him when it when he became panic.
- 17:05But like it's it's it's very like, it's funny that he worked
- 17:10with Taylor. Like I liken them to each other,
- 17:14you know, like her big fight was with with the label.
- 17:17But like he just wants to create his music in his vision.
- 17:22And you can like you can tell like you listen to these
- 17:25records, it's like these are his vision come to life.
- 17:28And like I said, are are they what's going to loop in?
- 17:33Maybe not, but it's him now. And I I did that.
- 17:40All right, so that brings us to Jason.
- 17:44Yeah, I'm going to, I'll, I'll stick with the same album and
- 17:46we'll go with the one that I, after I got married, walked back
- 17:50down the aisle to, which was Death of a Bachelor.
- 17:53Yes, I've got it. I don't.
- 17:55This was. That fantastic song to walk back
- 17:59down the aisle to, by the way. Well done.
- 18:01Yeah, yeah, that that was my wife's choice.
- 18:04Yeah. That was all about it.
- 18:06For the record, this was, that was one of my last cuts.
- 18:09Like it was, I'm, I'm sure it was like 25.
- 18:12Like I feel like there was like a handful towards the end that
- 18:14were like really tough decisions and that was 1.
- 18:18I love that it gets to show that that crooner side of him where
- 18:21he just comes out and and you get to hear his voice.
- 18:24It's like, oh, I can probably show this to like older family
- 18:26members and they would enjoy it. Yes, thank you for for bringing
- 18:29that up like there's so many times and and that's what I love
- 18:33most about the later records is that crooner side comes out more
- 18:37and he does it delightfully well.
- 18:41And you know, I'm sure there's more instances coming up.
- 18:46Well, how about I go a little bit later then?
- 18:51I, I didn't know this existed on Panic Records.
- 18:54Just Brendan in a piano. And I I'm not going to lie, the
- 19:00the title drew me in, but the song itself kept me dying in LA.
- 19:08Absolutely beautiful song. I've got it.
- 19:11I do not have it. OK, I have to, though, but it's
- 19:14still around. I just loved.
- 19:18I was like, wait a second. I thought, what?
- 19:21Initially I thought, what was going to loot me in his guitars?
- 19:24And I was like, no, it's going to be the theater rock.
- 19:26And then wait, no, it's just him and a piano.
- 19:28OK, cool, I'm in. Well done.
- 19:31All right, Katie. Oh, let's see here.
- 19:35We have not even, I think, touched this album yet.
- 19:41So let's go smack in the middle of the repertoire, the
- 19:45discography, if you will. I am actually going to go with
- 19:49Let's Kill tonight. Yeah, I got it.
- 19:53No, it's got 2. Though it's got it's got two
- 19:57though it's Vices and virtues. It was one of those albums that
- 20:02yes, I liked it, but I definitely find myself listening
- 20:08to it or songs from it the least.
- 20:12Yeah. Well, is that the one where
- 20:14basically he's making the leap? He This was the duo phase.
- 20:19Yes, that's right. Yep, yeah.
- 20:21So yeah, I I agree. Like the last three are better.
- 20:28Like, well, it's it's it's smack dab in the middle.
- 20:32It's pretty much smack dab in the middle for a reason, so.
- 20:35Right. All right, Jason.
- 20:40Let's go off of Pray for the Wicked and we'll go with
- 20:42Dancing's not a crime. I don't have that one.
- 20:47I do, right? It stays alive.
- 20:52It's. Just so.
- 20:53Funny, I will admit I sacrificed.
- 20:58So originally I had a different spot or a different song in this
- 21:03spot, and then I realized, oh, it didn't quite count 'cause
- 21:07it's not from a discography, it was from a soundtrack, yeah.
- 21:13Well, I mean. There's two of them I can think
- 21:15of, and it's probably. Let's just say this it is not
- 21:20the Disney song. All right, where do I go?
- 21:30Maybe I take some wild swings here.
- 21:34How about go back to go back to Pretty odd Matt is rabbits.
- 21:46I don't have it. Do not have it.
- 21:48Oh, I knew it. Oh.
- 21:50And our first fatality? Yes, I think that's the first
- 21:53one. That's a pretty great run.
- 21:54But I'd say we we hit a pretty decent streak.
- 21:58Yeah, all right, hold on cuz I got to get a little bit of this
- 22:03in to your point about them writing a Beatles record.
- 22:12I said it's weird. I think they have this album.
- 22:16Is there like more Beatles sound?
- 22:18But the the first album is more like they're Sergeant Peppers
- 22:21because they'd never recorded or they'd never played a live show
- 22:23before they recorded it. So they didn't know like what
- 22:26you couldn't couldn't do on stage all.
- 22:32Right. All right, Kate.
- 22:36Oh, let's go back to Fever. And once again, like the novel
- 22:44in itself of the name, I just want to let you know there's a
- 22:49good reason these tables are numbered, honey.
- 22:51You just haven't thought of it yet.
- 22:53I got it got. It another one.
- 23:03Love the high hat. The horn and elude in this thing
- 23:06just woof. This is this is like this is
- 23:12such a great representation of them doing theater like.
- 23:17There's Yeah, this was dinner in a show in musical.
- 23:29Just one. Yeah.
- 23:32It. Does a great job all.
- 23:35Right, Jason all. Right, I'm going to go to Vices
- 23:40of Virtues for Ballad of Mona Lisa.
- 23:44I don't have it I. Can't save you.
- 23:48Another fatality and I believe they've both been from you, no?
- 23:53No, not the. First one, yeah.
- 23:54Oh, OK, Fair, fair, fair. Sorry.
- 23:58No, this is this is what I think I I heard the acoustic version
- 24:00better and this that's what like drew me into that album to come
- 24:03back to panic. I I definitely prefer the
- 24:06acoustic version of the song. Who?
- 24:09The regular one? It sounds, yeah, it sounds like
- 24:14Discount Muse. Yeah, I had, I, I had a a band,
- 24:21a band singer, a lead singer of a former Bandit brought this out
- 24:25and he, he didn't listen to Panic before.
- 24:27She's like, who? Oh, you wrote that?
- 24:28That's a great song. And then he's like, oh, it's a
- 24:30Panic at the disco song. What?
- 24:33But I would love. That's when I had to go back to.
- 24:34It I would love to hear the acoustic version because I bet
- 24:36you it's really great. All right, how many have we got?
- 24:45Four. Hey, if we land on 4I win.
- 24:50OK, All right, there's still. Plenty of gameplay left too,
- 24:57very much so. How about girl that you love?
- 25:12I don't have it. Do not have it.
- 25:15OK, this is the time to take the chances I feel so I'm OK.
- 25:19There you go. I will also take a chance from
- 25:26Pretty odd that green gentleman. Things have changed.
- 25:30That was a late cut I. Don't have?
- 25:33It either my first one that's OK, bound to have.
- 25:40It's. Just like a nice, pretty odd.
- 25:56Yeah. All right, Jason.
- 26:00I'm going to go back to death of a bachelor and we'll go crazy
- 26:03equals genius. Yeah, I got it.
- 26:05That that was a late cut for me, but I don't have it.
- 26:09I'll take two. I just love hearing the Brian
- 26:11Wilson's and all the the Beach Boy reference was fun.
- 26:18Equals genius. What do we have for two?
- 26:23Oh, OK. The good news is yeah.
- 26:25Good news is there's no NTP. We're officially out of NTP, but
- 26:32we still have a conversation ahead of us.
- 26:35And I got 1234570. Yeah, we're good.
- 26:42Let's do like maybe three more rounds and then we'll dump out.
- 26:49How about earlier? The piano knows something I
- 26:54don't know. I don't have it.
- 26:57Do not. Have it.
- 26:58We're at that point of the the game.
- 27:01This is where the slump happens. I remember this well.
- 27:06This is where we're all getting our weird ones out.
- 27:09Yeah, you get. But you get those interesting
- 27:11ones where people are like, yeah, yeah, those are the
- 27:14exciting ones. Sometimes.
- 27:15Yep. All right, Katie.
- 27:21This one from Too weird to live, too rare to die.
- 27:24The quote UN quote regular version makes you want to scream
- 27:28from a rooftop. I would argue the acoustic
- 27:31version does as well. I'm going with this is gospel.
- 27:34I got it. Do not have it this.
- 27:38Is going to be crazy if I end up with the if I end up with the.
- 27:43Oh my gosh, two more boys, we can do it.
- 27:48The Gospel, Me and Katie. All right, Jason.
- 27:56Let's go with We'll go with fever again, and we'll go with
- 28:01lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes
- 28:04off. Yeah, I got it.
- 28:06Another late cut for me. I do not have a.
- 28:24OK, how about this one? This is with a lot of a lot of
- 28:29bravado. I love this title.
- 28:31Build God, then we'll talk. I've got it.
- 28:34Don't have it? That's the later cut too.
- 28:37I, I, I I was stuck between build God, then we'll talk and
- 28:42lying is the most fun and build God went out.
- 28:45OK. All right, Katie.
- 28:49Oh, let's see, I'm going to I'm trying to think of one that has
- 28:55a good shot. I mean, you guys like I like I
- 29:00said earlier, I love a good horn section.
- 29:03So I will go again with pray for the pray for the wicked.
- 29:09Hey look Ma, I made it. Man, that was a last cut.
- 29:14Oh wow. That one, that one hurts.
- 29:20That one, I don't remember where it hit the floor, but it it
- 29:24definitely made my first pass again, like a lot of the
- 29:32connections I made were on these this back end.
- 29:34This was definitely not enough to not enough to pick it.
- 29:40I guess. All right, Jason.
- 29:51This is getting tough to figure out which one to pick, so let's
- 29:54just go. I'll go with Northern Downpour
- 30:00from Pretty Odd. I have it.
- 30:13Yeah, it's it's going to be tough whittling down that last
- 30:16bit. Yeah, we're we got quite the
- 30:18conversation, all right. Yes, so this will be the last
- 30:24round before dumping out. This one keeps jumping out at me
- 30:30even though it feels like it probably is going to be a whiff.
- 30:35Impossible year. Got it.
- 30:38I don't. I got it though.
- 30:41It's still. It's still alive.
- 30:42Still. Alive.
- 30:44That was that was my like. I don't want to say it because I
- 30:46already picked a crooning song. I know.
- 30:52All. Right, Katie?
- 30:56Oh let me see here I am going to go with a Vices and Virtues 1
- 31:10and go with the calendar. Nope.
- 31:14That's what I get for going with vices and virtues.
- 31:31All right, Jason. Let's go from Pray for the
- 31:35Wicked and I'll go with Roaring 20s.
- 31:38I've got it. I do not all right, so I only
- 31:43have. Four let.
- 31:47Me see how many of them? 23 I have 7 left so.
- 31:52I have 1234 left. Yeah, we we hit on a lot.
- 31:58We just didn't get, you know, a lot, although we did get 4 like
- 32:024 is good and there's still a chance, but it it's rare on a
- 32:07dump out. OK, so my remaining 4 the end of
- 32:10all things. I have it.
- 32:13Oh, blast through them actually. I ended boom case memories.
- 32:36Don't have it? Nope.
- 32:37OK, right 2/3 she had the world.
- 32:54Nope. But not least, I guess maybe it
- 33:02was kind of kind of played, played the odds here.
- 33:07I write sins, not tragedy. Tragedy.
- 33:11That was the last one I put on just because it's like I can't
- 33:14leave it all. I I wanted to be a rebel and it
- 33:17was, it was actually a fairly early cut.
- 33:20Yeah, I get it. I get it totally.
- 33:22I definitely get it. But I also.
- 33:24Tried to be a rebel too, but I couldn't.
- 33:25I couldn't do it. Yeah, I, I, the the conversation
- 33:30I had with myself is like, are we having this conversation
- 33:33without that? And like, I can see it not
- 33:36making the 10, but for one of the three of us to not well at
- 33:40the time, four of us to not even say the song feels wrong.
- 33:45So, All right, well, I guess that that I mean, you guys can
- 33:49dump out and see if we can get any more in the conversation,
- 33:51but I get a final say, yeah. Jason, how many do you have
- 33:56left? I still have 5123456 left.
- 34:01OK, so I've got 3. How about I go through my 3 and
- 34:04that way we'll we'll know. Ready to go?
- 34:07Nope. And say Amen Saturday night.
- 34:11Nope. Oh, OK, last one.
- 34:14Girls, girls, boys. Nope.
- 34:18Complete bump out then. Well then I was smart and left
- 34:21all these for the end. Yeah, because I hit pretty heavy
- 34:25on most of them. I think I had one trash before
- 34:27this. Yeah, you want to dump them out
- 34:29just for fun. Sure, we'll do, Sarah smiles.
- 34:34Vegas lights, nicotine, Emperor's New clothes, golden
- 34:42Days and fuck a silver lining. All right well let's do this too
- 34:52find out EA all right, we got 4 through unanimously, which as I
- 34:59said, gives me the final say. How crazy is that?
- 35:04I can. Be that's my gift.
- 35:05That's my gift to you after being gone.
- 35:07How kind of you. Thank you.
- 35:09I know I'm. A nice lady.
- 35:11So we've got don't threaten me with a good time 9:00 in the
- 35:13afternoon. The only difference between
- 35:14martyrdom and suicide is press coverage.
- 35:16And there's a good reason these tables are #20 you just haven't
- 35:18figured it out yet. That was a mouthful.
- 35:23There's our four. We've got 15 that we need to
- 35:27whittle down to six. Wow.
- 35:30Yeah. So I'll rattle these off, and
- 35:32then, Katie, you can tell me if there's ones that are here that
- 35:35probably don't need to be here. We've got build God.
- 35:38Then we'll talk. Crazy equals genius.
- 35:41Dancing is not a crime. Death of a bachelor dying in LA.
- 35:44All right. Sins, not tragedies.
- 35:46Impossible year. Let's kill the night.
- 35:48London beckoned. Lying is the most fun a girl can
- 35:51have. Northern downpour.
- 35:54Roaring 20's. The end of all things.
- 35:57This is gospel and time to dance.
- 36:02Is there a glaring one that that's going like, you know
- 36:04what? I think we probably don't need
- 36:05it. Honestly, the quite the quite
- 36:09the opposite. In fact, I think the one that's
- 36:11glaring that needs to be on the list is actually one that I held
- 36:18out on and that's I write sentence.
- 36:19Oh, OK. All right, put it through then.
- 36:22I'm. With look at look at me being
- 36:24like diplomatic as hell playing. The game, too.
- 36:30Yeah, really. Gosh, I picked it.
- 36:36If I had to pick one that was like take, take my name off of
- 36:41it, I would maybe say, and then it hurts because it's like,
- 36:45well, I picked it, so maybe it's not that bad.
- 36:49I would maybe say let's kill tonight.
- 36:52OK. All right.
- 36:55I'm going to type a tentative out next to that.
- 36:59Is there something jumping out at you either way, Jason?
- 37:05Oh, I think you've I think it's a one or the other, either death
- 37:09or the bachelor. Death of a bachelor or
- 37:11impossible year. I don't think you need both.
- 37:14OK. I mean, I, I prefer Death of a
- 37:16Bachelor, but I, I mean, I love them both as long as one of
- 37:19them, because that place, that's the ones that show that side of
- 37:22him. Yeah, I was the odd man out on
- 37:25Death of a Bachelor, and it was a late, late, late cut for me.
- 37:28So how about we grab that? One all right.
- 37:34Here just to move things. Along that's like you can
- 37:40certainly one or the other absolutely has to make it, but
- 37:44having both is like almost too heavy.
- 37:50Yeah, but we've got 6 now. I'll, I'll, I'll ask again.
- 37:56Katie, is there something that you kind of want to fight for to
- 37:58to get in at this point? Honestly, I'm going to, I'm
- 38:02going to say something and we, we talked about it.
- 38:08You know, it is, it is basically if you want, you want to
- 38:13introduce someone to panic, it would be a fever you can't sweat
- 38:17out. I would almost argue that.
- 38:21I mean, how many do we have left in the in the conversation?
- 38:29Four, I think. How how many, how many more
- 38:34spots do you guys think we have for that particular album?
- 38:38It's a good question so let's let's look at what we have left
- 38:41in at least some of them. Let's see we still have time to
- 38:47dance, still have lying is the most fun.
- 38:51London beckoned and build God. So of those, let's at least trim
- 38:57that in half, right? Let's lose two of those which
- 39:00which 2 are the strongest do you think?
- 39:02Jason I. Mean you're putting me in the
- 39:05spot where I got to pick what I voted for and go with London
- 39:08back end. And lying is the most fun.
- 39:12Actually, I mean, that's both of you.
- 39:14Both of you had had both of those.
- 39:17All right, so let's lose. I mean, unless let's lose, build
- 39:22God, right? And then what?
- 39:24Was the other one lying? No.
- 39:28Time to. Date, you said.
- 39:34Welcome back, Katie. To hell with your picks.
- 39:36That's what Jason said. All right.
- 39:43So now the question is if we've already got 3 in, we definitely
- 39:48don't need both of those, right? So of those two, Katie, pick one
- 39:57to stay alive. Lying.
- 39:59Lying. OK, let's lose.
- 40:02I knew you were going to ask me until I got sang it.
- 40:05All right, so let's lose London, but that makes it a little bit
- 40:08easier. All right, so now, all right,
- 40:13let's start getting some other stuff in, shall we?
- 40:15And then come back to whether or not that that song makes it.
- 40:19All right. All right, So what do we have
- 40:22covered here? Do we have him in a piano yet?
- 40:26No, we don't. Which I which I think is a great
- 40:29way to say let's move dying in LA to the list.
- 40:33Go ahead. All right, yes, let's do it.
- 40:35I was. I was ready.
- 40:36I was ready to fight. I was ready to tussle.
- 40:39I've I've gotten a bunch on the list.
- 40:41I'm very OK with the one I've all right.
- 40:44So that brings us up to 7. I'm doing way better than I did
- 40:48in my last game, let's say that. I I you cannot performance was
- 40:57Britney if I remember correctly. I definitely remember my worst
- 41:01performance was Outkast. Yeah, Outkast, we were all kind
- 41:04of in separate neighborhoods. Yeah, we're still learning the
- 41:08show too, to be fair. Yes.
- 41:11OK, so I guess this is the the point in the conversation where
- 41:16we ask, do we, do we care about album representation?
- 41:20I mean, I know we already kind of started whittling down fever.
- 41:24We only have the the one that could possibly make it.
- 41:27Do we want to start looking at making sure everything's
- 41:30covered? I mean, at this point, I don't
- 41:33think we can because the, the one of vices and virtues that
- 41:37was in the conversation is now out.
- 41:39So I don't think Albemark Nation, I I feel like we lost,
- 41:44we lost the argument before we even brought it to the floor.
- 41:47Good point. And I don't think any of us had
- 41:49anything off of too weird to live.
- 41:52We had a no, yeah, there weren't any unanimous ones and I don't,
- 41:56I don't think you had anything no that.
- 42:01I had two. So we could The ones that are
- 42:03still alive are the end of all things, and this is gospel.
- 42:08If I had to pick one of those, I would hands down put this is
- 42:12gospel over the end of all things.
- 42:15Let's lose end of all things for sure, and leave This is Gospel
- 42:19alive. As far as pretty odd, we've only
- 42:25got 9 in the afternoon. Does that cover the album or do
- 42:28we need more? What?
- 42:33What what's still live only? I think only northern downpour
- 42:37is still. So if we need more than that's
- 42:40our song. Yeah.
- 42:42I mean, I don't think can you have pretty odd without northern
- 42:48downpour. I would argue yes.
- 42:53Oh, OK, what do you? Think it is I'm.
- 42:57OK with that, I think 9:00 in the Afternoon is the the song
- 43:00from that album that everybody knows and is like the like I
- 43:04said, it's them trying to be The Beatles in one song and you
- 43:09can't, you can't go wrong with that, I guess.
- 43:12OK, so now let's let's start getting the tough conversation.
- 43:15We have basically two more picks with one 2-3 or five songs
- 43:22slugging it out, and if if somebody feels like OK enough,
- 43:28that one's got to go in, let me know.
- 43:30Crazy equals genius. Dancing's not a crime.
- 43:33Lying is the most fun a girl can have.
- 43:36Roaring 20s and this is gospel. Oh, this is hard.
- 43:42I like all of them. So basically there's 3 picks
- 43:49left. Of those five songs, you get 1
- 43:53Katie. I go with this as gospel, all
- 43:59right? I think, again, you go to the
- 44:03emotion that a song invokes, and I cannot think of very many
- 44:09examples, certainly none off the top of my head, in which both a
- 44:13full performative and stripped down version evoke the same
- 44:18similar emotion of you just wanting to like, put your hands
- 44:23wide and arms stretched out and just scream to the sky.
- 44:27All right. So same question to you, Jason.
- 44:31There's four left here. Crazy equals genius.
- 44:34Dancing's not a crime. Lying is the most fun and
- 44:38roaring 20s you get 1. If I have to pick one that I
- 44:44have to listen to like in my car over and over again, it'd
- 44:48probably be crazy equals genius. That's that's tough.
- 44:55Right, let's get that then. Crazy equals genius goes in.
- 45:00And that leaves me to the final say.
- 45:02Dancing is not a crime. Lying is the most fun and
- 45:05Roaring 20s, two that I didn't have and one that I did.
- 45:13So I'm going to play the odds here.
- 45:15And I know we already have a lot of fever, but I still think
- 45:19fever is the best way to get somebody into the band.
- 45:21So I'm going with lying is the most fun.
- 45:24I was, I was like mentally telling you to pick that one
- 45:27that was. That was my.
- 45:29Didn't I know that it wasn't on my final list but when I tell
- 45:33you it was the last cut? All right, but then I I did the
- 45:39right thing. How about that without being
- 45:42told I'm into it. So here we go.
- 45:45Here's our ten. Don't threaten me with a good
- 45:46time. 9:00 in the afternoon. The only difference between
- 45:48martyrdom and suicide. There's a good reason these
- 45:50tables are numbered. I write sins, not tragedies.
- 45:53Death of a bachelor dying in LA. This is gospel.
- 45:56Crazy equals genius. And lying is the most fun a girl
- 45:58can have. All right, now let's crank up
- 46:01the heat. Katie, for your for your first
- 46:03one. Back of those 10 songs, which
- 46:07one is the one that you're going to give to somebody?
- 46:13I'll tell you what it's it was our first unanimous pick.
- 46:17It is the first non intro song off the album.
- 46:22It is the first true song you hear from the album that should
- 46:27intro you into this band. The only difference between
- 46:30Martyrdom and Suicide is press coverage.
- 46:33I can't argue, Jason. It depends it's it's so hard to
- 46:38do you want them when they started and they were 17 years
- 46:42old or do you want them now? So I can I can agree with that
- 46:46would like you should start from the beginning.
- 46:47So we'll go with the only difference.
- 46:49I would agree. There we go #1 and that.
- 46:54Hold on, bring it on back in. Scroll up, Justin.
- 47:00Oh, phone, every week you do this to me.
- 47:03You make me look like I don't know what I'm doing.
- 47:07Buffoonery. All right, so the the only
- 47:10difference between a martyrdom and suicide is press coverage is
- 47:13our number one. We'll leave the other part off.
- 47:16Don't threaten me with a good time. 9:00 in the afternoon.
- 47:19There's a good reason these tables are numbered, Honey, you
- 47:21just haven't figured it out yet. All right?
- 47:23Sins, not tragedies. Death of a bachelor dying in LA.
- 47:25This is gospel. Crazy equals genius.
- 47:27And lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her
- 47:29clothes off. Let's let the only difference
- 47:32get a moment in the sun. You have done it.
- 47:47It's funny because like, you listen to that part and it's
- 47:50like, oh, I can, I can see why they're emo.
- 47:53But then you get to this part and it's like, OK, it's not
- 47:56exactly emo. All right, we did it.
- 47:59We did it even even in that small snippet.
- 48:02I was just straight vibing here in Delaware.
- 48:04Right, just just going for it. I'm into it.
- 48:08So we have done it. And if you if you dig it, then
