Earworm Wednesday Meets A Letter to Peter · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

• 0:17
  It's the program, the podcast where we try to get you into a
• 0:21
  band. That's right.
• 0:21
  We've done all the work for you. All you have to do is press play
• 0:24
  and listen. My name is Justin and you can
• 0:27
  call me band curious because I am indeed curious about bands.
• 0:30
  And what that means is normally on the show we will get
• 0:34
  together, have a conversation about an artist or band, and we
• 0:38
  will try to get you into that band by coming up with a top 10
• 0:41
  starter kit list for you to push play on and get hooked on the
• 0:45
  band. We're not doing that today.
• 0:46
  Today is Earworm Wednesday and I'm going to expand out because
• 0:55
  as I mentioned on Monday, this coming weekend I'm travelling to
• 1:03
  Florida to for a celebration of life for our dear friend Peter.
• 1:10
  And we're going to his pizza party on Saturday in Orlando.
• 1:17
  And as I mentioned, I'm I hate that it took losing him to get
• 1:24
  me to go to Florida. It feels like with a little
• 1:29
  planning, I probably could have made it happen before, but I was
• 1:36
  very upset at the thought that I might just miss out on it all
• 1:40
  together and not be able to go. And, and I don't I I very much
• 1:47
  try not to do regrets and I feel like this is one of those things
• 1:50
  I very much would have regretted.
• 1:55
  Failure has a new record coming out, and Andrew on last week's
• 2:03
  No the week before the Q&A episode, asked if I had gone
• 2:09
  back and listened to any Failure yet, because we covered about
• 2:15
  half of their discography on our episode because the other half
• 2:20
  had been pulled from Spotify. I know, I know, I know.
• 2:26
  But they have republished all their stuff on Spotify in
• 2:33
  anticipation of the new record and I have listened to, I think
• 2:38
  there's like 2 singles now from the new record and I started
• 2:43
  listening to, I think it's their 4th record.
• 2:48
  I've really been on a failure kick, and this is interesting
• 2:52
  for me because when I lost my friend Larry at this point
• 2:59
  probably six or seven years ago, he and I were huge Local H fans
• 3:06
  and we had really bonded over our love for Local H and funnily
• 3:10
  enough, Peter, also a huge Local H fan.
• 3:15
  I couldn't listen to Local H when Larry passed like it.
• 3:20
  It hurt too much and I feel like, I mean, I guess this is
• 3:25
  part of me growing up is I don't feel that way this time.
• 3:33
  And then as a matter of fact, it I feel like it's made me closer
• 3:37
  to Peter specifically. I've been listening to a lot of
• 3:41
  local age. I've been listening to a lot of
• 3:42
  failure and I think for our ear worm Wednesday, what we're going
• 3:51
  to do is we're going to put up a a failure song.
• 3:53
  I'm going to go, you know, which one, which one do I go with
• 3:59
  Saturday Saviour is the one that's on on my mind right now.
• 4:03
  And since it's on my mind right now, that's what we're going
• 4:06
  with. Technically, technically I've
• 4:09
  kind of been all over the map with their with their
• 4:14
  discography, listening to a lot of fantastic Planet as well, but
• 4:18
  listening listening to listening to newer stuff for me from them
• 4:27
  and with local H, my band last year, we were going to cover
• 4:33
  Pack Up the Cats the entirety of the record for Halloween and go
• 4:37
  as local age didn't happen. We did Start learning She hates
• 4:42
  my job and I think we're going to go with that one as our local
• 4:46
  age song. But those are the 2 bands that
• 4:49
  have been in heavy rotation this week as I've been as I've been
• 4:56
  thinking about my friend and thinking about this trip I'm
• 4:59
  going to go on. And you know, like again, you
• 5:03
  got to you got to take the especially with everything going
• 5:06
  going on these days. Yeah, you have to take, take the
• 5:10
  positives because if you don't, you're just going to, you're
• 5:14
  just going to drown because that's all there is to do is, is
• 5:18
  drown in the negative. And I, I refuse to do that.
• 5:20
  There are positives. I'm going on a road trip with
• 5:24
  friends to Florida, a place where a, a place in Florida.
• 5:30
  I've actually never been. We drove through Orlando, wow at
• 5:37
  this point 20 years ago on our way to Canaveral to meet up with
• 5:44
  friends to go to Key West for a wedding.
• 5:49
  I've been to Tampa when I was much younger and then I've been
• 5:52
  to, we're going to say Miami. I mean, it's, it's not Miami
• 6:01
  that I'm thinking of. My in laws used to live there,
• 6:05
  but it's Miami adjacent. It's it's in that general
• 6:10
  region, the Fort Lauderdale, Miami.
• 6:14
  It's like right at the tip of tip of my brain right now.
• 6:17
  Like I, I can, I just don't want to spend any more time on it.
• 6:21
  But I've never actually been to Orlando proper.
• 6:24
  So you know, like again, it's been positive.
• 6:28
  I'm going to go on this road trip and I'm going to have fun
• 6:33
  with two friends. I'm going to get to celebrate
• 6:34
  the life of a dear friend and I'm going to get to meet some of
• 6:39
  his friends that, you know, got to see him every day.
• 6:44
  So it sucks that it took losing Peter to get here, but I think
• 6:54
  he would see how much he's loved.
• 6:57
  And I hope that he can see that and feel that where wherever he
• 7:01
  is, because we do love you, Peter.
• 7:04
  And you're you're a special person.
• 7:08
  And that makes me happy. Losing you made me sad, but but
• 7:14
  knowing you makes me happy, friend.
• 7:16
  So yeah, I'm going to go enjoy Florida, you know, as best I can
• 7:22
  in this circumstance. And in the interim, I'm going to
• 7:26
  listen to some local H and some failure for you.
• 7:28
  And we're going to pop those two tracks on this episode.
• 7:30
  And we will talk to you all on Friday.
• 7:34
  We've got a couple, a couple questions.
• 7:38
  Again, if you're hearing this today on Wednesday, get them
• 7:44
  questions in. If not, we're going to go with
• 7:46
  with what I got because I've got pretty much Thursday morning to
• 7:50
  record this and that's it. So we will see you all.
• 7:56
  Well, yeah, we'll see you all tomorrow for our episode and
• 7:58
  then we'll see you all Friday for the Q&A.
• 8:01
  Bye.
