Transcript
- 0:17Hey everybody, it's Justin here and maybe this is the first time
- 0:22you've listened to Deprogrammed. Deprogrammed is a podcast where
- 0:26we get together. I am band curious and I like to
- 0:30get together with friends and talk about bands and artists.
- 0:34And in doing so, we come up with a top 10 starter kit for you, in
- 0:37case you have never heard said artist.
- 0:41And I've recently made the decision that I'm trying to get
- 0:45it up to A5 day, A5 episode a week podcast.
- 0:50And this is day 2. So yesterday we talked about,
- 0:57you know, what's coming on the on the week.
- 0:58So we won't get into that. But that being said, yesterday
- 1:02we did do a an after the fact after after we did our beat
- 1:08happening patreon.com/show. Hi, Justin's a great place to go
- 1:12if you'd like to support the show and to hear that after the
- 1:16fact episode. But one of the ideas I tossed
- 1:19out there and we'll see how this goes was ear warm Wednesday at I
- 1:23doubt that will stay the name. And I don't know that I'm all in
- 1:27love with it, but there's been a couple songs that have been
- 1:30rattling inside my head the last two or two weeks or so.
- 1:35So I thought I'd say them into a microphone and hopefully that
- 1:38will release me from them. The first one is the one that
- 1:43I've been listening to the most is Stabbing Westwards Shame.
- 1:48And I don't know if you guys remember this song.
- 1:51I want to bring it up on the on the Spotify.
- 1:56Hopefully I don't get dinged for it.
- 2:01It's down the album Wither Blister, Burn and Peel and I
- 2:05remember it's getting a ton of radio play here.
- 2:09I'm going to turn it up for a second.
- 2:12This part here in particular is what I remember here.
- 2:15I want to turn up. I was thinking about that part
- 2:27and I was like, what is that song again?
- 2:32I remembered it was stabbing westward.
- 2:33But I can I could never, until a couple days ago really, I always
- 2:38went to what do I have to do first?
- 2:41And then I could never ever remember the name of this song,
- 2:45which is shame. And part of the reason I
- 2:48remember the song so much is yes, it did get a lot of radio
- 2:52play, but it also had a cool video which I went to the
- 2:57Wikipedia to look it up and this is how they describe it.
- 3:01The video begins with a woman, Julie, running around and
- 3:04dancing in our living room. Her phone rings in.
- 3:06The caller is her ex-boyfriend, Nick, who just escaped from a
- 3:09mental institution. Going to Julie's.
- 3:11Nick runs into a cop, who he promptly kills.
- 3:14As Julie tries to run away and take the elevator, the officer's
- 3:17body falls on her before she continues running.
- 3:19Nick chases her to the building's roof, where he jumps
- 3:22at her and misses, falling to his death.
- 3:24The video is intercut with shots of the band performing the song
- 3:27in the in a room, leaving 1 by 1 before Hall is the only one
- 3:30left, Hall being Christopher Hall, the lead singer.
- 3:34The other members leave to see the movie, which is the Nick and
- 3:36Julie story. And I don't know why I it just
- 3:41left an impression on me that I just always think about that
- 3:48song. And it particularly,
- 3:51particularly took hold of me two weeks ago as I was heading to
- 3:54band practice. And I told the boys when I got
- 3:58there, I was like, I was thinking a lot about stabbing
- 4:00westward lately, particularly shame.
- 4:04And we sort of tried to learn it.
- 4:07I don't know. I've been trying to figure out
- 4:12how to make it into an Undercutter song, so we'll go
- 4:16from there. I doubt it.
- 4:19I doubt it makes its way back. But it's been on my mind.
- 4:22And of course, I already mentioned it, but like, because
- 4:25I was listening to Shame, immediately following it on the
- 4:27record is what do I have to do? Which probably got more play and
- 4:33there's actually probably still around if you're hearing a
- 4:36stabbing westward song. It's either that or save
- 4:38yourself, I'd be willing to bet. So I had those two on a pretty
- 4:46good repeat. And we've been playing a lot of
- 4:50GTA5 again lately and one of the store, one of the stations plays
- 4:57a lot like Motown and and stuff like that and the Del phonics
- 5:04ready or not. Oh my God, every time I hear it,
- 5:07it gets stuck in my head. And for the longest time, I
- 5:13mean, the easy connection is ready or not, here I come.
- 5:16I'm going to find you is The Fugees right?
- 5:21Like that's the easy one because they Lauren Hill actually sings
- 5:25the hook in The Fugees song. Like it's exactly that.
- 5:29The other other part to that that I never got around to doing
- 5:34the math on is the baseline is taken and sampled and Missy
- 5:40Elliott's socket to me, the bum bum, bum, bum bum and that that
- 5:46bass line was torturing me for months and again, right in front
- 5:52of my face. Watch it listening or playing
- 5:54GTA5. It's like right there in my
- 5:57face. And why I couldn't put the 22
- 5:59together to where do I know that?
- 6:03And I remember learning it in high school in marching band.
- 6:07So yeah, that is what's been swimming around in my head.
- 6:11Yeah. I don't know, man.
- 6:12I mean, we'll see how long this this this thing stays around
- 6:19for. If people like it, I'll.
- 6:21I'll keep doing it. But I'm open to hearing your
- 6:24earworms. The other reason I wanted to
- 6:26make sure I did an episode today was because another thing we
- 6:29talked about, I talked about the after the fact.
- 6:31Another thing we talked about on the after the fact was you know
- 6:37who who could come on, who would be good on the show, like
- 6:41celebrity or otherwise, and, or, and or who have we covered that
- 6:49would be cool to who would be cool to have on the show that we
- 6:55covered to bounce our list off? We've we've done a good number
- 7:00of of those where like Tom Pappas from super drag was on
- 7:05the fellow from discount, the high strung mega ran.
- 7:08We got to bounce our lists off of those artists and it was just
- 7:12really cool to have that conversation with them.
- 7:15I really need to do the work and dig those out of the after the
- 7:18facts and and put those into the free feed.
- 7:24But if that's in something you guys are interested in, I will.
- 7:28I know the Tom Papas 1 is already in the main feed, but if
- 7:32that is something you guys are interested in, I will put forth
- 7:34the work to dig those out and cut them up and and put them on
- 7:39the main feed. Again, if that's something
- 7:41you're interested in. But more so I'm at, I'm putting
- 7:45it out there to see if if there's anybody else you would
- 7:49be interested in hearing us talk to.
- 7:51I can, I can't make any promises that will land them, but I can
- 7:56try. You know, that's all we can do.
- 7:58And if there's anybody that you think would be good on the show
- 8:02that I should reach out to, again, can't make any promises,
- 8:06but I can try. So open to whatever you have to
- 8:09say about that. In the meantime, what did I say?
- 8:15What did I say before? See you Thursday I guess is how
- 8:17I signed off yesterday, but I'm here again so see you Thursday.
