1:08
Speaker 2: The live transmission has begun, and we're into the final
1:12
Speaker 2: hour of hell.
1:32
Speaker 11: What's up, and welcome to Movie Mountdown's Attack of the
1:34
Speaker 11: Killer soundtrack. I'm Brian, and this week we have not
1:37
Speaker 11: just a special guest, but a whole band of special guests.
1:41
Speaker 11: And that band is Sarah Shook and the Disarmers. Now
1:44
Speaker 11: when I first heard about the band, well, the initial description,
1:48
Speaker 11: it used a word that I found more than a
1:51
Speaker 11: little concerning. The C-Word. In fact, the big C, as
1:55
Speaker 11: far as I'm concerned. Yes, the word was country. And
1:59
Speaker 11: if any of you have been listening to this show
2:01
Speaker 11: in the past, you've probably heard my snide comments, and
2:04
Speaker 11: you know that I have issues with so-called country music,
2:08
Speaker 11: specifically what passes for modern country music today and for
2:11
Speaker 11: the last couple of decades. But the saving grace for
2:14
Speaker 11: me was the entire phrase used in the band's description
2:18
Speaker 11: was country punk. And that intrigued me enough to want
2:21
Speaker 11: to learn more about Sarah and the band as a whole.
2:25
Speaker 11: So as I began to listen to their songs, what
2:27
Speaker 11: I realized was, not only did they have that little
2:30
Speaker 11: punk edge that was promised, but the country vein that
2:33
Speaker 11: ran through all of the music was old school country.
2:37
Speaker 11: Like hard drinking and occasionally bitter and heartbroken country. The
2:42
Speaker 11: kind of country legacy that goes back generations. And that
2:46
Speaker 11: is the only type of country that I've ever really
2:48
Speaker 11: responded to. In addition to that, a lot of their
2:51
Speaker 11: songs are also just plain catchy and fun, and that
2:55
Speaker 11: is more important than any genre breakdowns or industry buzzwords.
2:59
Speaker 11: So by then I was more than happy to get
3:00
Speaker 11: a chance to sit down and talk with the band
3:02
Speaker 11: and get to know a little more about them and
3:05
Speaker 11: how they all found their way to each other, and overall,
3:08
Speaker 11: how they found the sound that they all came to
3:11
Speaker 11: create together. Plus, in setting things up beforehand, I explained
3:14
Speaker 11: what I do and how I like to discuss songs
3:17
Speaker 11: from movies that they enjoyed or were influenced by, and
3:20
Speaker 11: they were totally on top of things and actually sent
3:22
Speaker 11: me a rundown of all these great songs that we
3:25
Speaker 11: definitely needed to discuss. And so that is what we're
3:29
Speaker 11: going to do right now, as we go join the
3:31
Speaker 11: band and find out more about them and eventually dive
3:34
Speaker 11: into their list of soundtrack picks. Alright, so let's go
3:55
Speaker 11: around the table and just kind of introduce everybody and
3:58
Speaker 11: give them a good idea of who's in the band
4:00
Speaker 11: first and foremost.
4:01
Speaker 5: I'm Aaron Oliver. I'm the bass player.
4:04
Speaker 12: I'm Sarah Shook. I'm the singer and guitar player.
4:08
Speaker 11: My name's Kevin McLean.
4:09
Speaker 1: I play drums.
4:11
Speaker 13: I'm Phil Sullivan.
4:12
Speaker 11: I play pedal steel, guitar.
4:15
Speaker 1: And Eric Peterson. I play guitar.
4:17
Speaker 11: Alright. Well, I figure you've, I'm assuming at this point,
4:22
Speaker 11: done tons of versions of this and influences a million
4:26
Speaker 11: times over. So I was trying to come up with something,
4:29
Speaker 11: just a different way to enter in, and especially since
4:31
Speaker 11: we kind of blur the lines with music and movies
4:34
Speaker 11: and everything. I was trying to think, where did your
4:37
Speaker 11: influences come from? As far as TV or radio or
4:42
Speaker 11: just kind of hanging out at the record store? Where
4:45
Speaker 11: did everybody kind of find their way into whatever pop
4:47
Speaker 11: culture stuff they started getting into when you were kids?
4:51
Speaker 5: As far as playing music?
4:52
Speaker 11: Anything, really. But yeah, I mean, I guess music is
4:54
Speaker 11: where you're eventually going to end up, I would assume.
4:57
Speaker 3: Right.
4:59
Speaker 5: I had hippie parents who had huge record collections, and
5:04
Speaker 5: they listened to all kinds of music, and they would...
5:07
Speaker 5: Whenever we went on road trips, that was my favorite thing.
5:09
Speaker 5: We'd go on road trips, and we had this big van,
5:10
Speaker 5: and I would lay in the back, and there were
5:12
Speaker 5: these little homemade speaker boxes that had the 6x9 Gensine,
5:17
Speaker 5: you know, three-way speakers with a little tweeter mounted up front,
5:20
Speaker 5: the whole thing, and... They would listen to cassette tapes
5:24
Speaker 5: of music they had recorded, and they would smoke joints.
5:28
Speaker 1: While they were on these.
5:30
Speaker 11: The hell you say.
5:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
5:32
Speaker 11: Or as I said, they would roll numbers. They would
5:38
Speaker 11: actually say that. Should we roll some numbers for the road?
5:42
Speaker 1: Sure.
5:43
Speaker 11: You didn't question it at that point.
5:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I was young, and I think that You know,
5:48
Speaker 5: even at that age, I think that you, as a child,
5:51
Speaker 5: when you're in a car with somebody smoking a joint,
5:53
Speaker 5: that you get a little.
5:55
Speaker 1: Bit of a contact high.
5:57
Speaker 5: Because I remember I used to just sit back there
5:58
Speaker 5: and just enjoy that music so much. And they listened to, like,
6:03
Speaker 5: you know, they listened to King Crimson and David Gilmour,
6:07
Speaker 5: Pink Floyd, all that kind of stuff.
6:09
Speaker 11: We were just tripping out at that point.
6:12
Speaker 14: Yeah.
6:12
Speaker 1: Woo!
6:15
Speaker 12: Yeah, I didn't really have much of a... intro at
6:18
Speaker 12: all to pop culture.
6:19
Speaker 11: That's what I kind of wanted to hear on you,
6:21
Speaker 11: is what the tales of your upbringing is going to
6:24
Speaker 11: be a little different than most kids.
6:26
Speaker 12: I was homeschooled all the way through and had very,
6:29
Speaker 12: very strict conservative Christian parents.
6:31
Speaker 5: The other kind of hippie.
6:34
Speaker 11: The squares.
6:37
Speaker 12: Yeah, so I mean, I didn't even really start listening
6:39
Speaker 12: to what would be considered secular mainstream music until like
6:43
Speaker 12: my late teens. And I had very little guidance, so
6:50
Speaker 12: it was always just kind of me finding things and
6:54
Speaker 12: trying them out with no frame of reference at all.
6:58
Speaker 12: So yeah, the first CD I ever bought, I went
7:01
Speaker 12: into a store and just blindly was like, oh, I
7:05
Speaker 12: like the cover of this.
7:07
Speaker 11: I've played that game, yeah.
7:08
Speaker 15: I'll get it.
7:09
Speaker 12: This will be my first CD I ever bought, and
7:10
Speaker 12: that was Interpol's Antics CD. which I still have that copy.
7:15
Speaker 12: I was actually listening to it the other day as
7:17
Speaker 12: I was moving things into my new place and cleaning.
7:21
Speaker 12: But yeah, after that, it's just been a matter of
7:24
Speaker 12: getting used to the whole new interface of Spotify's adjusted playlists,
7:31
Speaker 12: which opens a whole new world. There's a lot of
7:34
Speaker 12: tools you can use now to find similar artists to.
7:37
Speaker 1: What you like.
7:37
Speaker 11: More than we can even fathom, I feel.
7:39
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's like trying to pick out chips in the
7:41
Speaker 12: chip aisle.
7:42
Speaker 11: Were you finding, were you discovering things like way out
7:45
Speaker 11: of time? Just because you came in so much later
7:48
Speaker 11: than most kids probably.
7:50
Speaker 16: Yeah.
7:50
Speaker 11: You're like, this album's great. I'm like, yeah, we bought
7:52
Speaker 11: that like a decade ago. Yeah. I was a little kid.
7:57
Speaker 17: Well, I guess my parents were, they used to be hippies.
8:01
Speaker 17: Once a hippie, always a hippie.
8:04
Speaker 13: So they did listen to a lot, yeah, they were
8:05
Speaker 13: musicians and they did listen to a lot of different
8:07
Speaker 13: types of music.
8:08
Speaker 17: So they had a pretty good record collection.
8:10
Speaker 1: Liked it.
8:11
Speaker 11: Old movies and stuff like that. So I guess it
8:13
Speaker 11: was definitely down to my folks.
8:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:15
Speaker 17: As far as getting introduced to what I ended up
8:18
Speaker 17: liking and going from there.
8:20
Speaker 11: Were they, on any of them, were they sort of restrictive?
8:23
Speaker 11: I guess the hippies, they loosen up the rules usually, but.
8:26
Speaker 13: Well, my dad's taste in music kind of ends around 1970,
8:29
Speaker 13: so after that.
8:31
Speaker 11: Still?
8:31
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:32
Speaker 7: Always.
8:33
Speaker 17: But no, not restrictive.
8:34
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that.
8:35
Speaker 11: Because definitely once you get into movies, there are different...
8:39
Speaker 11: Some parents don't. I'm the product of they didn't really care.
8:42
Speaker 11: We got that first wave of cable TV, and I
8:45
Speaker 11: grew up watching things I probably did not need.
8:47
Speaker 1: To be seeing.
8:48
Speaker 11: So it's a mixture of that, too. So, yeah, music,
8:51
Speaker 11: you have a little more free reign. But, yeah, movies
8:54
Speaker 11: warp you in a different way.
8:57
Speaker 5: My dad forbade me to listen to Frank Zappa for
8:59
Speaker 5: a while.
9:00
Speaker 11: I always wanted to listen to him.
9:02
Speaker 5: He was like, nope.
9:03
Speaker 11: For specific reasons or just because he's a weird guy?
9:06
Speaker 1: Well, you know.
9:07
Speaker 5: I'm sure it was lyrical content.
9:14
Speaker 11: Well, I guess as you got into all of these things,
9:18
Speaker 11: were you drawn towards specific genres? Because it is interesting
9:23
Speaker 11: once we got to what the band has become now,
9:26
Speaker 11: because so, again, I think I initially was drawn way
9:29
Speaker 11: more towards the punk part of the description, because country
9:33
Speaker 11: has become a thing that I had have so many
9:36
Speaker 11: issues with specifically modern country that like it's it feels
9:40
Speaker 11: like it's really hard to even declare yourself that or
9:44
Speaker 11: or sometimes be part of that scene when there's so
9:47
Speaker 11: many different levels again it's specifically the modern version of
9:51
Speaker 11: what is country now so i don't know did you
9:54
Speaker 11: immediately start gearing towards different genres when you started playing
9:59
Speaker 11: music any.
10:01
Speaker 12: Well, I think that we kind of, my first band,
10:05
Speaker 12: Eric and Phil, were both a part of Sarah Shook
10:08
Speaker 12: and the Devil. And I mean, I don't feel like
10:11
Speaker 12: we set out like with this mission in mind to
10:14
Speaker 12: be like, we're going to be an old school country band.
10:17
Speaker 12: But it's just kind of like what the songs required,
10:20
Speaker 12: you know, when everybody got together and we started learning
10:22
Speaker 12: the songs, that's what, what it was.
10:24
Speaker 11: That's what made sense.
10:26
Speaker 13: I think part of it too, is just being a,
10:29
Speaker 13: being a musician and trying to like do something different
10:32
Speaker 13: and grow in that respect. Like Eric's always been really
10:34
Speaker 13: good at the Travis picking style country stuff. And that
10:38
Speaker 13: was largely incorporated in that band as well as I
10:41
Speaker 13: was trying to start to play steel guitar at the time.
10:44
Speaker 17: So that kind of worked its way in as well.
10:46
Speaker 11: Yeah. Luckily time wise, I think it's kind of come
10:50
Speaker 11: full circle again and the, the alt country became a thing,
10:54
Speaker 11: but then even just people who embraced old school country,
10:56
Speaker 11: I think it, it, it found a home with people
10:59
Speaker 11: that I, again, there was a, there was a dark
11:01
Speaker 11: period there where you weren't finding anything useful coming out.
11:05
Speaker 11: So it's, it's really amazing to see people that, definitely
11:09
Speaker 11: grew up like listening to that and then what they've
11:12
Speaker 11: discovered ever since then have attached themselves to it so much.
11:15
Speaker 11: So it's, yeah, it's, it's great. So on that note,
11:18
Speaker 11: did you want to kind of give people a taste
11:20
Speaker 11: of the band? Is there, what's, what's a good song
11:22
Speaker 11: to kind of intro people into? Hmm.
11:26
Speaker 1: I don't think a.
11:28
Speaker 5: Good intro to the band song.
11:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
11:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:30
Speaker 1: Huh?
11:30
Speaker 17: Something about us.
11:34
Speaker 12: Uh, maybe good as gold or heal me.
11:38
Speaker 17: Something like that.
11:40
Speaker 1: Or a.
11:40
Speaker 3: I.
11:43
Speaker 18: Can't remember.
11:44
Speaker 11: Any song on the first two albums.
12:08
Speaker 19: I can just stop and lose.
12:12
Speaker 15: I'm afraid of losing.
12:16
Speaker 20: Losing everything to you. My heart, my pride, the wreck inside.
12:27
Speaker 21: Nothing on this jail box except the blues. Baby, if
12:33
Speaker 21: you go, it's all over for good.
12:40
Speaker 15: And I'm as good as gone. You're as good as gold.
12:58
Speaker 15: I'm as good as gold.
13:09
Speaker 3: I'm worn out from worry.
13:14
Speaker 19: Not worry over you. Cause with my troubles mine, you'll
13:23
Speaker 19: be just fine. In whatever world you choose.
13:29
Speaker 15: Baby, if you go, it's over for good.
13:33
Speaker 3: And I'm as good as gone.
13:50
Speaker 14: You're as good.
13:52
Speaker 3: As gold I'm.
13:55
Speaker 11: As good as gold.
14:19
Speaker 19: It's all over for good And I'm as good as
14:26
Speaker 19: gone No, it won't feel wrong Till the wrong song
14:32
Speaker 19: comes on At the.
14:33
Speaker 3: Right time You're.
14:38
Speaker 15: As good as gold.
15:01
Speaker 22: Ain't nothing here can fill. But I just keep thinking

16:48

Speaker 11: Of course, by this week's guest, Sarah Shook and the Disarmers.

19:06
Speaker 8: even better idea.

Speaker 11: these or the reasons that you were just so drawn
20:50
Speaker 11: to them. So, yeah, I've got most of them here
20:52
Speaker 11: just to run down. So, obviously, everybody kind of found
20:57
Speaker 11: a good Marconi to throw in there.
20:59
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
21:01
Speaker 11: Can't miss what we were talking about. Yeah, it's kind
21:03
Speaker 11: of hard to go wrong with that altogether.
21:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
21:06
Speaker 11: Fellini one I had to look into. I was not
21:10
Speaker 11: as familiar with that one. Is that one of those
21:13
Speaker 11: that you saw the movie and were just drawn to it?
21:16
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. I can't remember. I may have
21:22
Speaker 1: watched it twice back to back. But when that scene
21:26
Speaker 1: came up, I was like, oh my gosh, this is great.
21:31
Speaker 11: And then, of course, they don't put that on the soundtrack. Right, yeah.
21:34
Speaker 1: Gotta get the soundtrack.
21:36
Speaker 11: So now we have to dig, and again, the wonders
21:39
Speaker 11: of the internet just deliver everything to you. So this
21:41
Speaker 11: is Saragina La Rumba, and as we mentioned, it is
21:44
Speaker 11: not featured on the 8 1⁄2 soundtrack, because Eric told
21:47
Speaker 11: me he bought that soundtrack specifically for this song, and
21:50
Speaker 11: it wasn't on there. So this song that you're about
21:53
Speaker 11: to hear is the one featured in the movie itself.
21:56
Speaker 11: So when you hear wind and ocean sounds slightly going
21:59
Speaker 11: on in the background... Well, now you'll know why. This
22:02
Speaker 11: is Saragina La Rumba.
22:05
Speaker 3: ¶ ¶.
24:13
Speaker 11: The whole wide world is kind of amazing. And like that,
24:17
Speaker 11: that use that you specifically like kind of pick the
24:20
Speaker 11: one from stranger than fiction version. So hearing like the
24:24
Speaker 11: intro with Will Ferrell of all people performing it. And
24:28
Speaker 11: then as it kind of just kicks into the real
24:30
Speaker 11: original version, like that's, Powerful. It's a great mixture.
24:35
Speaker 15: Do you play?
24:36
Speaker 1: Not really.
24:37
Speaker 11: I only know one song.
24:38
Speaker 15: Oh, play it.
24:40
Speaker 5: No, I don't know it that well, actually.
24:42
Speaker 11: No, come on.
24:43
Speaker 10: I promise I'm not going to laugh at you.
24:44
Speaker 15: Play it.
24:46
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
24:46
Speaker 5: Maybe some other time.
24:47
Speaker 1: All right.
25:08
Speaker 10: Just to find out Maybe she's in the apartments Where
25:17
Speaker 10: the Caribbean sea.
25:19
Speaker 15: Is blue.
25:39
Speaker 10: Weeping on a tropical moon at night. Nobody talked about you.
25:47
Speaker 10: Go the whole wide world. Go the whole wide world.
25:51
Speaker 10: Just to find it. Go the whole wide world. Go
25:56
Speaker 10: the whole wide world. To find out where they hide it.
26:01
Speaker 10: Go the whole wide world. Go the whole wide world.
26:05
Speaker 10: Just to find it. Why am I hanging around in
26:17
Speaker 10: the rain out here Trying to pick up a girl
26:23
Speaker 10: Why are my eyes filling up with this lonely tear
26:27
Speaker 10: When this girl is.
26:29
Speaker 14: All alone I call the whole wide world I call
26:33
Speaker 14: the whole wide world This is mine I call the
26:38
Speaker 14: whole wide world I call the whole wide world I'll
26:46
Speaker 14: call the whole wide world. I'll call the whole wide
26:48
Speaker 14: world just to find her. I'll call the whole wide world.
26:54
Speaker 3: I'll call the whole wide world.
27:08
Speaker 11: Which that's, it's one of those I saw that in
27:11
Speaker 11: the theater, I believe. And I don't think people then
27:14
Speaker 11: knew what to do. It's like it slowly found a
27:16
Speaker 11: fan base that it's a really cool movie. But yeah,
27:19
Speaker 11: nobody knew what to do with it because it wasn't
27:21
Speaker 11: any conventional.
27:22
Speaker 1: Which movie is this?
27:24
Speaker 11: Stranger than Fiction. It's, yeah. And that's most people's take
27:28
Speaker 11: on it. They're like, wait, what? Because it's not really
27:30
Speaker 11: a Will Ferrell comedy.
27:32
Speaker 25: Right.
27:33
Speaker 11: But it stars Will Ferrell.
27:34
Speaker 1: It's.
27:35
Speaker 11: Romantic lead is maggie gyllenhaal like it's a lot of
27:38
Speaker 11: weird things mixed together and like people just did not
27:41
Speaker 11: know what to do with it at the time but
27:42
Speaker 11: it's yeah that's a great great scene and again any
27:47
Speaker 11: any zither music you work in the third man all right.
27:50
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah that was uh i mean third man was
27:54
Speaker 1: great but i watched it on dvd and the extras
27:58
Speaker 1: were all about how how um They came across this
28:03
Speaker 1: guy playing the zither in a local bar or something
28:08
Speaker 1: and enlisted him to do the soundtrack.
28:11
Speaker 11: Yeah. I'm assuming you'll work in as much zither as
28:13
Speaker 11: possible from this, you know.
28:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
28:17
Speaker 11: That's what was missing from the band. That's right. That's
28:20
Speaker 11: all it said. And then, yeah, Air, the Virgin Suicides.
28:25
Speaker 11: That's another one of those. When I heard... and then
28:28
Speaker 11: I think the other one of theirs that came out
28:30
Speaker 11: around that same time is Virgin Suicides. It did seem
28:33
Speaker 11: like they were just kind of so fully formed and
28:36
Speaker 11: had found this specific sound and I expected them to
28:40
Speaker 11: kind of get a little bigger. They have their fan
28:44
Speaker 11: base again, but I don't think they ever fully hit,
28:47
Speaker 11: but that's an amazing soundtrack.
28:48
Speaker 25: Yeah.
28:49
Speaker 11: Yeah.
29:05
Speaker 3: I'm a high school lover And you're my favorite flavor.
29:35
Speaker 7: Love is all. all my soul You're my playground love guitar.
29:44

31:33
Speaker 7: On the ground You're my playground love In the town.
32:13
Speaker 17: No one could understand how Mrs.
32:14
Speaker 29: Lisbon and Mr.
32:15
Speaker 13: Lisbon, our math teacher, had produced such beautiful creatures.
32:18
Speaker 11: Again, we have Life Aquatic, which we've had a lot
32:21
Speaker 11: of crossover with the Wests. We actually have, in this town,
32:27
Speaker 11: there is a West Fest convention. that has been going
32:30
Speaker 11: on and they will get together and have different bands,
32:33
Speaker 11: some local, some kind of regional, just recreate songs from
32:37
Speaker 11: Wes Anderson movies. So we've covered all, we've done at
32:41
Speaker 11: least two different episodes from West Fest over the years.
32:44
Speaker 11: So I've, yeah, I've, I've heard a lot of Wes
32:46
Speaker 11: Anderson music and it is, it is, he is one
32:49
Speaker 11: of those like go-to filmmakers now that like when he starts,
32:53
Speaker 11: it's almost like he picks the soundtrack as he's going,
32:57
Speaker 11: maybe as he's writing the thing. It's, So, yeah, were
32:59
Speaker 11: there any specific David Bowie covers that were your favorite?
33:06
Speaker 17: Oh, I don't know. He did Five Years and that,
33:12
Speaker 17: which I really liked.
33:13
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. It's a great, great version. Yeah.
33:17
Speaker 17: That was your favorite?
33:19
Speaker 11: All of them.
33:20

Speaker 30: a five years E de norte a sul é minha
35:50
Speaker 30: sina five years Porque eu não vivo a five years
35:58
Speaker 30: Quase não vi nada nesses five years Estar.
36:02
Speaker 15: No mar azul é meu viver a.
36:04
Speaker 31: Five years E de norte a sul é minha sina
36:09
Speaker 31: five years Porque eu não vivo a five years Quase
36:16
Speaker 31: não vi nada nesses five years Estar no mar azul
36:22
Speaker 31: é minha sina five years E de noite a sua
36:26
Speaker 31: e meu viver Five years Five years Five years Five years.
36:58
Speaker 30: Five years.
37:07
Speaker 12: The scene where they arrive on the island and they're
37:09
Speaker 12: all in their wetsuits and there's that 80s Casio keyboard
37:14
Speaker 12: music playing and they're like, there's someone in the coat check.
37:17
Speaker 11: It's one of my favorite scenes ever.
37:19
Speaker 17: That's the only great thing about that soundtrack. All that
37:22
Speaker 17: stuff is mixed in with.
37:23
Speaker 13: That really high Casio keyboard stuff like that.
37:27
Speaker 17: The kind of thing where you press a button and.
37:29
Speaker 11: It plays half the song.
37:32
Speaker 1: The SK-1.
37:32
Speaker 11: I have one of those. Everything should be composed on
37:35
Speaker 11: the Casio SK-1.
37:36
Speaker 13: We've got a great act going.
37:38
Speaker 11: Robert and Rufus.
37:41
Speaker 12: I play the Casio SK-1 and Rufus sings.
37:44
Speaker 17: Problem is, he only sings when he wants to.
37:46
Speaker 11: But with this Casio, I can record a sample of
37:49
Speaker 11: him whenever he's in the mood.
37:51
Speaker 31: Come on, Rufus.
37:52
Speaker 12: Got it.
37:55
Speaker 11: Whenever i want rufus to hit it i just.
37:57
Speaker 8: Hit this button oh the.
37:59
Speaker 11: Casio sk1 sampling keyboard because.
38:01
Speaker 2: The show must go on you know.
38:04
Speaker 17: Rufus the sack could be a single but.
38:06
Speaker 11: Yeah then the again lebowski i've seen more than enough
38:09
Speaker 11: lebowski fest in our town as well um but yeah
38:12
Speaker 11: that that is the the the man in me is
38:16
Speaker 11: one that's like it's so unconventional for what we're used
38:20
Speaker 11: to what became more like well-known dylan stuff so that's
38:24
Speaker 11: again kind of picking a different mood right and is
38:27
Speaker 11: so kind of perfect as far as setting the tone
38:30
Speaker 11: for what's about to happen in the rest of that
38:32
Speaker 11: movie yeah.
38:51
Speaker 26: Man in me will do nearly any task And ask
39:07
Speaker 26: for compensation There's a little he would ask Take a
39:13
Speaker 26: woman like you To get through To.
39:18
Speaker 11: The man in me.
39:27
Speaker 25: All around my door I think to myself I might
39:33
Speaker 25: not take it anymore Take a woman like your kind
39:40
Speaker 25: to find the man in me.
39:49
Speaker 15: What a wonderful feeling.
39:54
Speaker 25: Just to know that you are near It sets.
40:01
Speaker 26: My heart a-reeling.
40:06
Speaker 15: From my toes up to my.
40:13
Speaker 3: Ears A man in.
40:14
Speaker 25: Me will hide sometimes To keep from being seen But
40:20
Speaker 25: that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
40:26
Speaker 25: Take a woman like you to get through the man
40:31
Speaker 25: in me.
40:32
Speaker 24: .
40:40
Speaker 6: .
40:43
Speaker 28: .
40:45
Speaker 10: .
41:01
Speaker 15: Thank you.
41:31
Speaker 11: All right, the Bob Denver one.
41:33
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, have you seen that?
41:34
Speaker 11: I watch it. And this is why I love having
41:39
Speaker 11: people pick stuff, because, again, I've gotten, like, from the
41:42
Speaker 11: beginning of putting these soundtrack episodes together, I do get
41:46
Speaker 11: a lot of, like, the Simon and Garfunkel. You know,
41:49
Speaker 11: it's like a lot of the basic stuff. And then
41:51
Speaker 11: I'll find ones that people, I'm like, okay, I've watched
41:53
Speaker 11: a lot of movies, and I have not watched this one.
41:56
Speaker 11: So when people find stuff that I'm like, wait, why
41:58
Speaker 11: am I not familiar with this? And I love Bob
42:00
Speaker 11: Denver in general. So the fact that it's this weird mixture,
42:03
Speaker 11: I watched that. Have you guys seen it?
42:07
Speaker 17: I haven't.
42:08
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
42:09
Speaker 5: So I saw that when I was a kid and
42:11
Speaker 5: I became obsessed with it. Like I wanted to recreate that,
42:14
Speaker 5: like draw the face.
42:14
Speaker 1: Puppet on the chin.
42:15
Speaker 11: Was it mostly the weird mouth thing going on? If
42:17
Speaker 11: you haven't seen it, he flips upside down with his
42:19
Speaker 11: head buried in the sand, draws a face upside down
42:23
Speaker 11: on his chin with the weird, you know, he's a,
42:25
Speaker 11: he's a, beatnik so he's got weird facial hair anyway
42:28
Speaker 11: he's got like a goatee yeah and then then does
42:31
Speaker 11: the entire song and you're looking at this weird upside
42:34
Speaker 11: down drawn on face singing and his.
42:35
Speaker 5: Mouth is singing it upside down he's like trying to
42:38
Speaker 5: make it disturbing.
42:39
Speaker 11: Yes in the best possible way yeah god do you
42:44
Speaker 11: otherwise get suckered in for beach movies No. I mean,
42:47
Speaker 11: the movie is terrible. That's what he said. And now
42:50
Speaker 11: I watched it. You just fast forward to that part.
42:52
Speaker 11: I watched that part. And then I went, this was
42:55
Speaker 11: the best part. Because then I was like, what? I
42:56
Speaker 11: couldn't even decide. Is this the title of the movie?
42:59
Speaker 11: It's For Those Who Think Young. Did you figure out
43:03
Speaker 11: why it's titled that?
43:05
Speaker 1: No.
43:05
Speaker 11: I did. It's a tie-in with Pepsi. They jumped on
43:10
Speaker 11: that bandwagon in the mid-60s, obviously.
43:13
Speaker 1: Product placement.
43:14
Speaker 11: Pepsi was changing their little motto, the way that they
43:18
Speaker 11: were going to start promoting Pepsi. And the new one
43:20
Speaker 11: that was coming out was for those who think young
43:23
Speaker 11: or for the young generation, some sort of new pitch
43:26
Speaker 11: they were putting. And they had another. It was written
43:30
Speaker 11: with an entirely different title, and they changed it just
43:33
Speaker 11: to match the Pepsi commercials.
43:35
Speaker 8: Yeah.
43:36
Speaker 11: Does that now fit even more so? The more I
43:39
Speaker 11: watched that, I was like, yeah.
43:40
Speaker 5: Makes the movie even lamer.
43:42
Speaker 11: This seems even more weird to put together. Brought to
43:46
Speaker 11: you by Pepsi.
43:47
Speaker 5: But, like, two of the stars of Gilligan's Island were
43:50
Speaker 5: in that movie.
43:51
Speaker 1: Yeah. Who was the other one?
43:53
Speaker 11: Tina Louise.
43:54
Speaker 1: Tina Louise, yeah.
43:55
Speaker 13: Which I.
43:56
Speaker 1: The movie star. Yes. I'm not.
43:58
Speaker 11: It's all Mary Ann.
44:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. A little bit.
44:02
Speaker 11: It was one of the greatest moments. I did talk
44:04
Speaker 11: to Mary Ann at one point on the show. Yeah,
44:07
Speaker 11: it was one of those times. I'm like, I don't
44:09
Speaker 11: know if this is really happening. I might be delusional
44:13
Speaker 11: right now. She's very cool. Still kind of got it together, too,
44:17
Speaker 11: got to say. But yeah, that's a fascinating movie. I've
44:24
Speaker 11: seen a few other beach movies. They are their own
44:27
Speaker 11: weird world movies. Yeah, I mean, they've even tried to
44:32
Speaker 11: reboot that idea over the years, and it just doesn't. Like,
44:35
Speaker 11: nobody knows what to do with them. It passed its
44:38
Speaker 11: point in time, and I don't know that they can
44:40
Speaker 11: come back. I think it was.
44:42
Speaker 5: The precursor to raves.
44:45
Speaker 11: It could be.
44:45
Speaker 5: And it's all standing on the beach doing this.
44:49
Speaker 11: Some great dance moves, though. You're not mine.
44:56
Speaker 1: So soft!
44:57
Speaker 32: So soft!
45:16
Speaker 28: Go Daddy!
45:18
Speaker 3: Go Daddy!
45:19
Speaker 16: Go Daddy!
45:20
Speaker 15: Go Daddy!
45:21
Speaker 12: Go Daddy!
45:22
Speaker 15: Surf is up and the waves are high. Some are
45:25
Speaker 15: gonna live and some are gonna die.
45:27
Speaker 19: Hot stalkers ride them high and wide.
45:29
Speaker 10: Grammys get all mashed up inside.
45:46
Speaker 3: Hold that!
45:47
Speaker 24: Hold that!
45:48
Speaker 3: Hold that! Hold that!
45:50
Speaker 10: When you lose control and get caught in a swirl,
45:53
Speaker 10: that crazy dive is what you call up the pearl.
45:56
Speaker 11: When the crave is on you to go top speed,
45:59
Speaker 11: hoes over the nose is.
46:00
Speaker 15: All you need.
46:02
Speaker 3: Hold that! Hold that! Hold that!
46:07
Speaker 10: When you see one coming, you yell outside And you
46:10
Speaker 10: get to your feet and you start to glide Don't.
46:12
Speaker 23: Fluke, you kooks, watch out for the stalls Or you'll
46:15
Speaker 23: find yourself going over the falls.
46:39
Speaker 15: Oh, yeah!
46:41
Speaker 28: Oh, yeah!
46:44
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah!
46:46
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah!
46:50
Speaker 25: Tunnel in, but not before you're sure that tunnel has
46:54
Speaker 25: a door.
46:55
Speaker 1: Now, before you.
46:56
Speaker 10: Surfers hit the briny, be sure your boards are bright
47:00
Speaker 10: and shiny.
47:01
Speaker 7: Where's the.
47:02
Speaker 3: Where's the.
47:16
Speaker 16: Go!
47:16
Speaker 3: Go!
47:17
Speaker 4: Go!
47:47
Speaker 11: Again, to try to decipher what all of that was.
47:50
Speaker 11: The song was called Ho Daddy, parentheses, Surf's Up, close parentheses.
47:56
Speaker 11: And it was performed by Bob Denver in the film
48:00
Speaker 11: for those who are young. Go seek it out, maybe?
48:06
Speaker 4: Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale.
48:09
Speaker 11: Of a fateful trip.
48:11
Speaker 10: That started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship.
48:15
Speaker 15: This is Dawn Wells.

49:27
Speaker 11: and then back to the Royal Tenenbaum, so back to DOS. So,
49:31
Speaker 11: Needle in the Hay is.
49:34
Speaker 11: Again, that was one of those that I only, and
49:36
Speaker 11: that's the way so many people I know who reference it,
49:39
Speaker 11: reference it in conjunction with that scene. Like, that is
49:42
Speaker 11: the way so many people came to know that song.
49:45
Speaker 11: Is it one you were already familiar with before seeing
49:48
Speaker 11: Royal Tenenbaum?
49:49
Speaker 12: Yeah, I had been turned on to Elliot Smith a
49:52
Speaker 12: while before I saw that movie, and I mean, certainly
49:55
Speaker 12: it's a great song in and of itself, but in
49:59
Speaker 12: the context of that scene where it's all those really
50:02
Speaker 12: quick shots and like flashbacks and, uh, different, uh, filters
50:06
Speaker 12: being used is very effective.
50:08
Speaker 11: Yeah. But it's, it is funny cause I don't, I
50:11
Speaker 11: don't think I knew the timeline. I did go back
50:14
Speaker 11: to see, it was like, or were we pulling like
50:17
Speaker 11: more of a classic song? It's only like six years
50:19
Speaker 11: before that movie came out. Like it really, he was
50:22
Speaker 11: pulling something sort of recent that, it had been the
50:25
Speaker 11: single off that album, but I still don't think it
50:27
Speaker 11: had found its way for, you know, it certainly wasn't
50:29
Speaker 11: mainstream at that point. So it's an odd choice that
50:32
Speaker 11: he didn't go like super classic. He found something that he,
50:35
Speaker 11: I'm assuming he was just personally really into and like
50:38
Speaker 11: really responded to. And as far as the, the scene itself, again,
50:43
Speaker 11: this is another weird little tie in, but one of
50:46
Speaker 11: the semi regulars on the show, Jonathan is in the
50:49
Speaker 11: band Nelly Pearl. And when they played West Fest, they
50:52
Speaker 11: ended their set with, needle in the hay and um
50:57
Speaker 11: they'd come in costume so everyone in the band was
50:59
Speaker 11: addressed as a member of the royal tenenbaum's cast he
51:03
Speaker 11: was that character and as the song went on began
51:08
Speaker 11: to kill himself wow including like full-on blood was worked
51:14
Speaker 11: into it and by the end of the song the
51:16
Speaker 11: rest of the band is still finishing out the song
51:18
Speaker 11: and he's laying dead feedback coming off the guitars It's
51:21
Speaker 11: the way to end a set, I realized. I was like,
51:24
Speaker 11: you couldn't do that midway in. Like, this is your
51:27
Speaker 11: big show. Like, this is your outro right here. So, yeah,
51:31
Speaker 11: if you need to go out in style, it's fake
51:34
Speaker 11: your own death and, you know, go out.
51:36
Speaker 12: Make sure it's the last song.
51:37
Speaker 11: Yeah, you can't then get up and be like, all right,
51:40
Speaker 11: so next.
51:40
Speaker 1: No encore.
51:41
Speaker 11: Dust yourself off and smear the blood off your face.
51:45
Speaker 11: And then the Good Will Hunting soundtrack.
51:48
Speaker 13: Oh, well, I mean, I just mentioned that on the
51:50
Speaker 13: back of... Sarah's stuff because she's such a fan of
51:54
Speaker 13: Elliot Smith. I guess I always like when filmmakers will
52:01
Speaker 13: use kind of a single band or a single songwriter
52:05
Speaker 13: a few times throughout a movie to kind of create
52:08
Speaker 13: a theme using what their style is as well as
52:12
Speaker 13: the film itself work together.
52:15
Speaker 11: Now Needle in the Hay is an amazing song. We
52:18
Speaker 11: all love Needle in the Hay, but I know on
52:20
Speaker 11: this show we've played it more than once, different versions
52:23
Speaker 11: of it, so just to mix things up a little bit,
52:26
Speaker 11: this is Miss Misery by Elliot Smith from the Good
52:29
Speaker 11: Will Hunting soundtrack.
52:31
Speaker 34: I'll fake it through the day with some help from
52:37
Speaker 34: Johnny Walker Red Send the poison.
52:42
Speaker 9: Rain down the drain to put bad thoughts in Nothing
53:01
Speaker 9: to do Do you miss me? Miss misery Like you
53:11
Speaker 9: say you.
53:12
Speaker 3: Do A man in the park Read the lines.
53:22
Speaker 19: In my head.
53:26
Speaker 16: Told me I'm strong and hardly ever wrong. I said, man,
53:32
Speaker 16: you mean you had plans for both of us. That
53:38
Speaker 16: involved a trip out of town to a place I'd
53:45
Speaker 16: seen in a magazine that you'd left lying.
54:01
Speaker 3: I keep a.
54:03
Speaker 15: Good attitude Do you miss me?
54:07
Speaker 9: Miss, miss me Like you say I do I know
54:10
Speaker 9: you'd rather see.
54:13
Speaker 32: Me gone Than to see me The way that I
54:30
Speaker 32: am when I am in the life anyway.
54:35
Speaker 3: Next door, the TV's flashing blue.
54:43
Speaker 15: Frames on the wall.
54:47
Speaker 9: It's a comedy of errors you see. It's about taking
54:56
Speaker 9: a fall.
54:59
Speaker 35: To vanish into oblivion It's easy to do And I
55:10
Speaker 35: try to be But.
55:13
Speaker 14: You know me I come back when.
55:18
Speaker 3: You want me to Do you miss me?
55:25
Speaker 32: Miss misery like you say you do.
55:34
Speaker 11: He didn't fall inconceivable um princess bride do we want
55:38
Speaker 11: to do a little going to the uh mark knopfler
55:42
Speaker 11: obsession uh.
55:43
Speaker 13: Well i was just a big fan of mark knopfler
55:45
Speaker 13: from being a guitar player in my teens and uh
55:50
Speaker 13: i don't know that that The soundtrack to that movie
55:53
Speaker 13: kind of fit the movie really well.
55:54
Speaker 17: It's, like, kitschy, but a little bit more multidimensional, I guess,
55:58
Speaker 17: than you would think.
55:59
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
56:02
Speaker 11: Yeah, especially at the time. I think everybody still just
56:05
Speaker 11: kind of knew him coming off of, you know, his
56:07
Speaker 11: big rock years. So, like, that was a weird... Now
56:11
Speaker 11: it seems like there's a lot more of, like, rock
56:12
Speaker 11: musicians becoming film composers, but that was a weird... jump
56:16
Speaker 11: at that point that I don't think people are like, wait,
56:18
Speaker 11: that guy from Dire Straits wrote this?
56:21
Speaker 13: Yeah, I was surprised for sure when I found out.
56:24
Speaker 13: He did a few soundtracks around that time, too.
56:27
Speaker 11: Do you respond just to his normal singer-songwriter kind of
56:30
Speaker 11: style more so, or the older rock stuff?
56:35
Speaker 17: Depending on when you ask me that, I think the
56:37
Speaker 17: answer would be different. I don't really know now. I
56:39
Speaker 17: haven't listened to much in a while. At the time,
56:43
Speaker 17: it was definitely Dire Straits.
56:44
Speaker 11: Yeah.
56:56
Speaker 3: It is a place where you can experience the beauty
56:59
Speaker 3: of nature and the beauty of nature itself. It is
57:00
Speaker 3: a place where you can experience the beauty of nature
57:03
Speaker 3: and the beauty of nature itself.
57:54
Speaker 16: Thank you for watching.
58:24
Speaker 7: Thank you.
58:47
Speaker 23: Thank you. Thank you.
59:37
Speaker 11: That was I Will Never Love Again by Mark Knopfler
59:40
Speaker 11: from the Princess Bride soundtrack.
59:46
Speaker 1: This is John Spencer and you're listening to Movie Meltdown.
1:00:00
Speaker 11: Obviously Danny Elfman. I mean, you can't go wrong with Danny.
1:00:02
Speaker 1: Especially with Tim Burton.
1:00:05
Speaker 11: He's another one of those, though. He's all over. Like,
1:00:08
Speaker 11: have you heard his other... The stuff that doesn't sound
1:00:11
Speaker 11: like Danny? Like the weird jazzier stuff that you're just like, wait,
1:00:14
Speaker 11: are you sure?
1:00:15
Speaker 17: He's also done like big box office movies that you
1:00:17
Speaker 17: never expect.
1:00:18
Speaker 11: Yeah, that are a little more traditional.
1:00:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, more mainstream. Yeah.
1:00:22
Speaker 11: He's an interesting guy. And again, back to the family band.
1:00:25
Speaker 11: Their early days. They're an amazing band themselves.
1:00:29
Speaker 25: Yeah, right.
1:00:30
Speaker 17: The Elton Brothers.
1:00:32
Speaker 11: Oh, definitely. Let's see. Scorsese. I mean, you can't... His
1:00:38
Speaker 11: weird obsession with the Rolling Stones and continually over the
1:00:42
Speaker 11: years working in and sometimes the same songs in different
1:00:46
Speaker 11: soundtracks like over and over again. Like, he doesn't branch
1:00:49
Speaker 11: out much, does he?
1:00:51
Speaker 17: Well, he's played a lot of B-sides, I guess, like
1:00:54
Speaker 17: in Main Street and stuff like that.
1:00:55
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:00:56
Speaker 17: But yeah, he plays jumping jack class a lot.
1:01:01
Speaker 11: And then Steeler's Wheels. That is another one of those,
1:01:06
Speaker 11: once you've seen that film, can you hear the song
1:01:09
Speaker 11: and not have that in your head? There's a few
1:01:11
Speaker 11: that the song's been around for years beforehand, but the
1:01:14
Speaker 11: movie just kind of steals it. It's like, nope, this
1:01:16
Speaker 11: is ours now.
1:01:18
Speaker 1: Sure.
1:01:19
Speaker 17: I'd heard about it before I'd seen the movie, of course,
1:01:21
Speaker 17: as probably everybody.
1:01:24
Speaker 12: Does, but.
1:01:27
Speaker 17: I was just trying to think of something Tarantino did
1:01:29
Speaker 17: since he does.
1:01:29
Speaker 11: A lot of great movies.
1:01:32
Speaker 17: Kill Bill is another great soundtrack.
1:01:35
Speaker 11: Yeah, I know. Again, he's another one of those that
1:01:41
Speaker 11: everything is so well planned out from the soundtrack to
1:01:45
Speaker 11: everything else he's working on.
1:01:46
Speaker 13: Yeah, isn't he one of those writers that kind of
1:01:50
Speaker 13: writes from a song sometimes?
1:01:52
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:01:52
Speaker 11: I think, again, there's ones that I'm like, I'm watching
1:01:55
Speaker 11: the scene going, he was planning this from day one.
1:01:59
Speaker 11: Like he envisioned this scene and this was already going
1:02:02
Speaker 11: on in the background in his brain. So it's, it'll
1:02:05
Speaker 11: be interesting. Yeah, he's got the new one coming out
1:02:08
Speaker 11: to see what songs he then reclaims and puts in his,
1:02:12
Speaker 11: then won't exist outside of his movies anymore.
1:02:15
Speaker 29: Joe Egan and Jerry Rafferty were a duo known as
1:02:18
Speaker 29: Steeler's Wheel when they recorded this Dylan-esque pop bubblegum favorite
1:02:23
Speaker 29: from April of 1974. That reached up to number five
1:02:29
Speaker 29: as K. Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s continues.
1:02:41
Speaker 33: Well, I don't know why I came here tonight I
1:02:45
Speaker 33: got the feeling there's something right I'm so scared in
1:02:50
Speaker 33: case I fall off my.
1:02:51
Speaker 15: Chair And I'm wondering.
1:02:54
Speaker 33: How I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left
1:02:58
Speaker 33: of me, jokers to the right Here I am, stuck
1:03:02
Speaker 33: in the middle with you Yes, I'm stuck in the
1:03:06
Speaker 33: middle with you.
1:03:08
Speaker 10: And I'm wondering what it is I.
1:03:10
Speaker 33: Should do It's so hard to keep the smile from
1:03:14
Speaker 33: my face.
1:03:16
Speaker 15: Losing control, yeah, I'm.
1:03:17
Speaker 10: All over the place.
1:03:20
Speaker 15: Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.
1:03:24
Speaker 10: Here I am, stuck in the.
1:03:25
Speaker 15: Middle with you. When you started out with nothing and
1:03:30
Speaker 15: you're proud that you're a selfish man. And your friends,
1:03:36
Speaker 15: they all come crawling. Slap you on.
1:03:39
Speaker 7: The back and.
1:03:39
Speaker 24: Say, please, please. Try to make.
1:03:56
Speaker 36: Some sense of it all. But I can see it
1:04:00
Speaker 36: makes no sense at all. Is it cool to go
1:04:04
Speaker 36: to sleep on the floor? Is there a thing that
1:04:08
Speaker 36: I can take anymore? Clowns to the left of me,
1:04:13
Speaker 36: jokers to the right.
1:04:14
Speaker 15: Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
1:05:13
Speaker 33: I got the feeling it's something right. I'm so scared
1:05:18
Speaker 33: in case I fall off my chair.
1:05:21
Speaker 15: And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs. Clowns
1:05:26
Speaker 15: to the left of me, jokers to the right. Here
1:05:29
Speaker 15: I am stuck in the middle with you. Yes, I'm
1:05:33
Speaker 15: stuck in the middle with you.
1:05:46
Speaker 1: Is that as good for you as it was for me?
1:05:48
Speaker 11: I don't know. Any other fun movie stuff you want
1:05:52
Speaker 11: to throw in here?
1:05:53
Speaker 1: Well, talking about Mark Knopfler reminded me of Richard Thompson
1:06:00
Speaker 1: doing the soundtrack to Grizzly Man. Yeah. Which was really cool.
1:06:06
Speaker 1: And again, the DVD extras were Herzog's sort of standing
1:06:11
Speaker 1: over Richard Thompson in the studio, like, okay, now do
1:06:14
Speaker 1: something like this. And he's just improvising these guitar things
1:06:22
Speaker 1: for the soundtrack.
1:06:23
Speaker 11: It's hard to have a cool soundtrack to a documentary anyway,
1:06:26
Speaker 11: but when you're working with Herzog, he's an insane person. Genius,
1:06:32
Speaker 11: but kind of insane in the best possible way, once again. Yeah, that's...
1:06:38
Speaker 11: And such an uplifting ending, that movie.
1:06:42
Speaker 1: And I wish I could say something more about Magnolia
1:06:50
Speaker 1: and Amy Vance. Oh, yeah. Part in that, but I
1:06:55
Speaker 1: don't think I've seen the movie, so I can't really. Really? Yeah.
1:06:59
Speaker 1: I like the soundtrack.
1:06:59
Speaker 11: It's all the soundtrack.
1:07:00
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think that's another example of him using a
1:07:04
Speaker 13: single artist as like a thread through the movie.
1:07:06
Speaker 17: So it's really, it works great. probably like the movie.
1:07:09
Speaker 11: Oscar loser Amy.
1:07:11
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:07:11
Speaker 11: That's how she refers to herself on her Twitter page.
1:07:14
Speaker 11: Nominated but didn't win and that's how she built herself
1:07:17
Speaker 11: ever since.
1:07:17
Speaker 17: For Magnolia it was kind of hard to watch I thought.
1:07:21
Speaker 17: It's a rough.
1:07:22
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:07:23
Speaker 17: It's long and it's all over the place.
1:07:26
Speaker 32: Yeah.
1:07:28
Speaker 11: Strange in a way the normal people who went there
1:07:31
Speaker 11: going I like Tom Cruise were not prepared for her.
1:07:34
Speaker 11: They're like this isn't like.
1:07:36
Speaker 1: His other movies.
1:07:37
Speaker 11: So yeah that's That's what Anderson does.
1:07:39
Speaker 1: Where's Goose?
1:07:41
Speaker 11: Is he going to jump out of a plane yet?
1:07:44
Speaker 22: All right.
1:07:45
Speaker 11: Anything else to pass along? I guess just what do
1:07:49
Speaker 11: you guys have going on as far as you're midway
1:07:51
Speaker 11: in the tour, obviously. We're working on a soundtrack. You
1:07:56
Speaker 11: do have your own documentary I saw.
1:07:59
Speaker 26: Yes, true.
1:08:01
Speaker 1: Who does the soundtrack for that? I can't remember.
1:08:05
Speaker 12: I don't know.
1:08:06
Speaker 1: Some losers.
1:08:07
Speaker 11: Some losers. Again, how much time did they commit to
1:08:12
Speaker 11: just sort of following you around and piecing together what
1:08:15
Speaker 11: you do?
1:08:17
Speaker 12: I mean, it was pretty concise because the documentary maker,
1:08:24
Speaker 12: Gorman Bouchard, He's up in Connecticut, and we're in North Carolina,
1:08:29
Speaker 12: so obviously working out logistics took some planning and some fine-tuning.
1:08:35
Speaker 12: But he came down and conducted a series of interviews
1:08:39
Speaker 12: with us over the space of two or three days,
1:08:43
Speaker 12: which was cool because we were in environments that were
1:08:46
Speaker 12: comfortable to us and familiar. And then he would come
1:08:51
Speaker 12: around to different shows that were close or in his
1:08:54
Speaker 12: hometown and He came to one of our big shows
1:08:57
Speaker 12: at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro. and like when time
1:09:01
Speaker 12: is of the essence you just like throw up as
1:09:04
Speaker 12: many cameras as you can you get like anybody that
1:09:07
Speaker 12: offers to help on board and you know you just
1:09:10
Speaker 12: put it together in a in a way that that's cohesive.
1:09:15
Speaker 11: Was it something that interests you the more you got
1:09:18
Speaker 11: into it? Do you want to start making documentaries? Do
1:09:20
Speaker 11: you want to be in movies now?
1:09:24
Speaker 1: Yes.
1:09:25
Speaker 12: Aaron does.
1:09:27
Speaker 11: Shove Tom Cruise out of the way. He's jumping out
1:09:29
Speaker 11: of planes. Smile on his forehead. Dance on a beach.
1:09:34
Speaker 11: I mean, that could probably be arranged. Well, you're going
1:09:39
Speaker 11: to do it a little different.
1:09:40
Speaker 17: That's right.
1:09:43
Speaker 11: Singing with your forehead. That's the way to do it.
1:09:45
