0:32
It's deprogrammed in. This is not a second.
0:34
Take we are the podcast that tries to get you into a band.
0:40
Today's band is the White Stripes?
0:41
I will not do a pawn. How how dare?
0:43
I because I failed miserably on the first recording that you
0:46
guys will not ever here. So you know, very good for me to
0:50
bring it up here. As I mentioned before that, you
0:54
got oh Jesus Christ. I've really I've really thrown
0:57
myself for a loop here guys. When you swim without a paddle,
1:02
my French. No, I'm fine.
1:06
I actually put the white stripes on the board, but Peter, you
1:08
signed up for them, almost immediately.
1:10
So, tell me about the White Stripes, please.
1:13
Um, I was surprised that you guys hadn't done them already.
1:16
So when I saw the number on the board, I was like, oh shit.
1:19
I've been a fan since white blood cells and that came out at
1:22
a time where like new metal was kind of like the big thing in
1:27
rock, but it was starting to fade out and Incoming was this
1:31
wave of what they called garage bands.
1:33
Like you had like the White Stripes.
1:36
You had The Strokes, you had who else is part of that hides in
1:41
the vines. Yeah.
1:43
But the White Stripes stood out to me the most because they took
1:47
a very simplistic approach but like Delta fucking rocked and I
1:53
just I fell in love with Jack White's guitar, playing, I fell
1:56
in love with his voice. I fell in love with Meg, Meg,
1:59
White. It's drumming just great stuff.
2:02
Are you saying you fell in love with a band?
2:05
I did. Did you find it Bears repeating
2:07
now? So eventually I guess you're
2:12
going through some stuff week. Did you sign up like just last
2:16
like when we did rancid ready or not?
2:19
You signed up. No I signed up a while ago.
2:21
Okay I remember there was a point where where my son was not
2:27
sleeping in the crib just yet. And we'd sleep with them
2:31
overnight and stuff. So I picked out a bunch of shows
2:37
that I bands that I already had signed up for and I went and I
2:41
listened to the discogs ahead of time and white stripes were one
2:45
of them and it was a really quick run.
2:47
It wasn't really anything substantial or anything like
2:49
that. But so it was at least at the
2:52
turn of the year last year and yeah ii-i'm kind of with Peter
2:57
there. I think that they came Come onto
2:59
the scene during white blood cells.
3:01
And, you know, my whole thing with all those bands that we had
3:05
just mentioned was that it's very funny because when they all
3:09
came out I like the the two that were the least successful the
3:16
best when they first came out. I was like yeah I like the hives
3:21
because it's, you know, it's very Punky.
3:22
It's really, you know, it's upbeat, it's energetic and I
3:26
didn't like The Strokes because I thought that they were Just
3:29
really Bland and I thought that it was low energy.
3:33
I just hated that style. You know, there's music video
3:37
for hard to explain that. I really hated that song at the
3:42
time. I thought it was awful and then,
3:44
you know, the White Stripes, I don't think like, I minded, The
3:47
White Stripes at all. But I, I don't know, I think the
3:50
whole thing at first was a little, a little corny.
3:54
I thought that the I fell in love with the girl song was a
3:56
little corny at first, but then, When you start to get to see him
4:00
a little bit more, you start to get to kind of listen to you
4:03
know, what they can do and what they can really do.
4:05
And I think you know dead leaves in the dirty ground was another
4:08
one of the singles that came out and I was just oh all right well
4:12
this isn't a pop song. This is like a legitimate hard
4:15
rock song and I kind of got into that style and was with them
4:21
ever since and you know this was a nice little Deep dive to kind
4:24
of go back especially white blood cells.
4:26
And elephant were the two most prominent that I had listened to
4:30
And like a lot of these just kind of remind me of high school
4:33
early college. So yeah, it's great records.
4:37
And immensely talented performer that kind of elevated him to
4:42
other musical opportunities and obviously he's doing his own
4:49
solo stuff now. But you know it was really well
4:51
respected Within the Music community and really it's all
4:55
thanks to what he did with with Megan White Stripes so Brad.
4:59
Lee. I know for a fact you definitely
5:01
signed up for this after rancid we were doing after the fact and
5:04
you said, oh, you guys are doing White Stripes I'm in.
5:07
So walk me through it, White Stripes.
5:09
What is it about him? Ya know, I'm kind of on the same
5:12
page has the other two guys. Here is where I was introduced
5:15
to them through white blood cells.
5:17
I you know, didn't really know anything of them.
5:21
I heard fell in love with the girl and was immediately blown
5:24
away as this song is incredible. I love the song and it had a lot
5:29
of rain. Play.
5:30
And I remember I mean that was back in I think it was right
5:33
before my senior year of high school.
5:34
So I was about, you know, so it's about that age and I went
5:38
out to Best Buy or the local record store or whatever and got
5:42
got the CD and it was on heavy rotation for a while and, you
5:47
know, and to no surprise, you know, going through the list
5:50
here, there was a lot of songs that made my first cut from the
5:54
album just because I listen to it so many times and and yeah I
5:57
continue liking them, you know, as As more and more of their
6:00
stuff come out, I would you know, get it when it came out
6:03
and give them good listens and really enjoyed a lot of their
6:06
stuff. I actually had tickets to see
6:08
them me and my buddy, Jesse. We're going to go see him on the
6:10
Icky Thump tour, which is when they canceled the tour halfway
6:13
through for whatever the reason was they said that I don't know
6:17
Meg was under the weather or something.
6:19
I don't know like serious anxiety attack was that what it
6:22
was. I don't even remember what it
6:23
was. I just remember them canceling,
6:25
a couple shows and then ended up canceling the rest of the tour.
6:28
And then they Were performed again.
6:30
So I have still have my ticket stub for a show that never got
6:34
played because I had, you know, tickets to see them and I was
6:36
kind of bummed out that I never did but I get to kind of relive
6:40
it. A little bit, you know, with the
6:42
album's and here talking with them, talking about them with
6:45
you guys. So So the White Stripes for me
6:49
like clearly I'm in the same boat as you guys with white
6:55
blood cells, put them on my radar and it's funny because
7:01
fell in love with a girl comes out and is everywhere like
7:04
everywhere. And, you know, all the singles
7:06
from from that, you know, we're everywhere around here in
7:10
normally that would put me off and I don't know how it, you
7:14
know, both Peter and Randy you guys can both.
7:16
Attest to this like how many episodes we've done where I'm
7:18
like, ah, you know, like and and that gets me to tune out to a
7:23
band. I didn't buy the record but I
7:27
didn't burn out on the singles either.
7:30
It wasn't til Seven Nation Army that I kind of went.
7:32
Oh, okay. You know, I'm done and, you
7:34
know, we'll get into that as we, you know, start talking about
7:38
songs specifically, but it's insane to me to think, As much
7:45
radio play, as this band has gotten over the years.
7:51
I can still go back to all of the all of them and still go.
7:57
Oh yeah, that's still fucking rocks.
7:58
Like that's, I've heard them. God knows how many times and
8:01
it's like, oh, fuck. Yeah.
8:03
And like, you can you get into these?
8:05
You know, you get into the into the weeds with them and it's
8:08
like, well fuck, which brings me to the next point.
8:12
We don't have a ton here Peter but As you're putting together
8:15
your 20, you like, what are you, what are you looking for?
8:18
Like did you have any kind of gameplay in mind?
8:22
I had about 12 or 13 that we're going on my list, no matter
8:25
what. And after that it was sort of a
8:28
matter of like okay like am I representing like all the band
8:33
all that the band does? Because they do evolved over the
8:36
years they try different stuff, especially on get behind me,
8:39
Satan and Icky Thump. So I wanted to make sure that
8:45
like I had the stuff that I really want it but I also wanted
8:47
to have stuff that Not album represents representation, but
8:52
experimentalism representation, if that makes sense.
8:55
Totally absolutely. So what were you looking at with
8:59
this ring? Because I feel like all four of
9:01
us are in similar boats. Yeah.
9:05
In a way, I kind of look, I love the garage Rock sound.
9:10
So I wanted to get the best of the garage.
9:12
Rock sound kind of what Peter said though.
9:14
They did experiment a little bit.
9:16
They kind of you know there are some acoustic tracks in here
9:19
there. Some really well-written, you
9:22
know, lyrically well-written music in here too which I you
9:26
know even at a time you know what I was way younger where
9:30
those songs I really would just just kind of passing by a listen
9:33
to be like you know on that's really not that bad, that that's
9:36
pretty good. And you grow up later and you're
9:39
like, oh that's that's better than what?
9:41
I thought it was back then. No, I enjoy this a whole lot
9:45
like looking at my list. It's tough to say like I thought
9:49
when I I was making it it felt like I was differentiating a
9:53
little bit, but now I look at him.
9:55
Like, yeah, I went, I went energy, I went a lot of energy
10:00
and not to say it, all of it is like straight up energy but
10:05
that's that's just my musical tastes and that's kind of what I
10:10
attract to so you know, that's how I took it for here.
10:14
But I just and I think that you had mentioned in the chat that
10:19
you had like Seven really tough cuts.
10:22
And what I'll say about this list?
10:24
Was that going into today? I think I had about 15 and I
10:31
just I had to pick like it was, it was almost like a gun to my
10:35
head. I had to pick.
10:36
So I left off a real lot of good stuff that if they and I assume
10:41
it's going to all get brought up tonight and when it does I don't
10:46
you'll know by the tone of my voice.
10:49
So Bradley, what was your gamesmanship here or did you
10:54
just kind of go straight forward?
10:56
Ya know, I kind of went straight forward.
10:58
Like everybody else. For the most part, I did try to
11:01
be aware of like at one point. I was trying to keep a tally of
11:05
how many like high-energy fast tempo songs, how many slower
11:08
ones and then just while doing it it's like there's so many
11:11
that fit in the middle. There's not, you know, I mean
11:13
obviously there are a couple slow ones are a lot of fast
11:16
ones, but there's so many that are in the middle.
11:17
Those hard to categorize. Her eyes.
11:18
And I was just like, well, like Peter.
11:20
I kind of wanted to get good representation and and kind of
11:23
all over the place a little bit. Or as best as I could while
11:26
still, you know, picking songs. I you know, like the whole lot
11:30
and I also had like a good. I think I was like 7 for me like
11:34
slam dunks that I have to have these and then another five or
11:37
six that were pretty much leading candidates right away.
11:41
And then when I went my initial pass kind of pushed him through
11:43
and you know, whittled it down to about 23 or 24.
11:49
And I had like 12 songs to get down to eight.
11:52
So there were some just like Randy said there were some
11:55
really tough Cuts, but I'm happy with my list and I have a
12:00
feeling that there's going to be a lot of discussion and you
12:03
know, I could be swayed very easily and some of the songs
12:05
that didn't make my list. So I'm glad somebody's happy
12:09
with their list because I'm miserable with mine.
12:12
Oh my God, I hate sometimes, I hate the rules that, you know.
12:19
I hate. I also hate repeating myself,
12:22
but this is like a truck a stone because, like, I could easy
12:26
easily. Say, let's go into the weeds and
12:28
let's bring 10 in the weed songs.
12:30
I could easily say, let's just do all radio hits.
12:33
I could easily say, let's do a nice mixture of the two like it
12:38
could go. I'm going to be very easy to
12:41
Echo. Bradley sentiments I'm going to
12:43
be very easy because like you this is a consistent discogs and
12:50
it made me so mad like as I'm listening to it that like
12:53
they've kind of been on a back burner for me for so long, like
12:56
I mentioned before, like all these radio songs are coming
12:59
back to me. I'm like, oh man, I love this.
13:01
Like why did I what was I doing? Like, but Peter had mentioned
13:08
this in the open, you know, they kind of get lumped in with that,
13:13
garage Rock sound. And when all that stuff first,
13:16
I'm out. I was like, no, I'm out in White
13:20
Stripes, kind of ends up being the corn of garage rock, you
13:23
know. Like they just kind of, I kind
13:26
of I don't want to say ignored them but like I kept tabs on
13:30
them but never checked in completely.
13:33
So as I'm checking in, I think, I think I had 37 on my first
13:37
pass and that is with like, because I'm making a conscious
13:42
effort to not put any more in. I'm like, I okay.
13:46
Okay, I can't I can't I can't take an entire record, I can't
13:50
do that. I think I just was really strict
13:56
when I'm getting down from 37 to 27 and so as a making them last
14:02
Cuts it's like I don't know which ones because any of them
14:08
will do. So it was a murder getting those
14:11
last seven out because You know, at some point, I just had to go
14:16
okay this these seven got to go and it's going to hurt when when
14:22
somebody else has them. But here we are.
14:26
But I to that point I get the feeling that this next step
14:31
could be a little out there. So Peter based on the
14:33
conversation we've just had, how many do you think we're going to
14:36
get through unanimously? Um, That's tough because there's
14:43
a lot of songs, but I think I have faith that we're all kind
14:48
of gravitating, sort of towards the same ones.
14:51
So I'm going to I'm gonna go a seven that's fine because that
14:57
was the first number. I actually thought of to.
14:59
Whoa. Yeah, I know.
15:01
I know. Randy.
15:02
What are you thinking? It's not seven.
15:06
I just think this is. This is going to be a cry.
15:08
I would I would love if we got seven.
15:11
You know? That's, that would be a great
15:13
number great achievement for this.
15:15
I is the number in my head, the whole entire time.
15:21
I'm doing this. Is that we can't get it more
15:23
than 3. Hmm.
15:25
And you know let's see how what my what my pics kind of end up
15:33
being, you know, coinciding with your pics.
15:36
So I'm going to stick with three.
15:39
Not that I don't feel confident about it.
15:41
I just I think they're like Peter said there is a lot of
15:44
stuff here so I'm going to I'm going to hang low for this one.
15:49
All right, you got some wiggle room here Bradley.
15:52
Yeah. Well, I So had a number in mind
15:54
before hand and I am right in the middle of both of those
15:58
guys. And I came in thinking, five,
16:01
and I'm going to stick with five, right?
16:03
It seems like the safe play here.
16:06
Yeah. So do I split you and Peter, or
16:10
do I split you and Randy is the question because there's no way
16:14
it's lower than 3. No there's no way.
16:17
It's lower than 3. I don't think we get more than
16:22
77 was the. Now I'm going to go 67 was the
16:25
number. I was looking at coming in so I
16:30
guess we'll see, won't we? Alright.
16:32
And that's for the final say, of course and whoever actually gets
16:37
that Nails. It on the number, you have to
16:40
hit it right on the head. You get to pick the final song,
16:44
no questions asked. All right.
16:46
We will see that the Price Is Right rules.
16:47
No, So Randy won't beat me. Okay?
16:49
No Price, is Right rules fall directly on for right now,
16:54
exactly, if it falls on any of the numbers that we didn't
16:57
choose, then we just Converse our way to the to the end of our
17:02
list. So we're going to take a quick
17:03
pause and we will be back in just a moment to play the game.

17:49
deprogrammed. The four of us have come through
17:51
the White Stripes discography, and plucked out 20 songs that
17:54
we're now going to mash together in an attempt to create a top
17:56
ten certificate for you, in case you have never given the white
17:59
strips of chance and unfortunate.
18:03
But understandable, we're going to rectify that for you and
18:06
there's two that I'm looking at. For my number 11 is my favorite
18:11
and the other one is the one that put them on my map.
18:16
I feel like I have to start with the one that put them on my map
18:19
so I'm going to go with fell in love with a girl.
18:23
I got it. I have it.
18:27
This is why I did not pick six or five.
18:31
Know, I kind of get it. I kind of get it.
18:37
I don't, you know, there's a there's other songs that do the
18:41
same thing. Yeah.
18:42
That I liked a little better. I get it.
18:45
Where I should say, I kind of get it.
18:47
I should repeat. I'm trying to get it, but it's
18:49
three threes. Three is really good for a 44
18:52
person panel. So I just So I picked that
18:58
thinking that I could either be the only one because you know it
19:05
was basically what broke them out but I just ultimately
19:10
couldn't ignore it. I just I love that energy.
19:14
All right, Peter I'm gonna follow your lead and pick the
19:20
song that put them on the map for me.
19:22
That's from that same album. Hotel Yorba.
19:25
Yes. I do have that.
19:27
Love that song. I love it and have it as well.
19:30
No, no that's a hey. I didn't think that was getting
19:37
three. I thought that I would have to
19:38
throw that out the end. That's a great song.
19:41
Yeah. That was one of my slam dunk,
19:43
for sure, is on my list. So same time.
19:46
So I thought I mean look, I loved it.
19:50
So like you know, getting that three to a four later on will
19:54
not be hard. I mean, unless something happens
19:57
and we catch fire here, all right, the nice.
20:00
The nice thing about the White Stripes is that, you know, Jack
20:04
write songs that can be kind of anything, it could be a little
20:07
demonic, it could be, you know, like serious kind of, you know,
20:11
love related stuff, relationship or related stuff.
20:14
Then he just writes these like, you know, like Witty little
20:17
Whimsical Diddy's and that falls right into that category.
20:21
I just love it. You know, it's kind of almost in
20:24
a way like kids music, you know they use he has a couple of kids
20:27
songs in this. Yeah, I get that.
20:30
All right. Randy.
20:33
Number one on my list, and it should be unanimous, Icky,
20:36
Thump. Yeah, I've got it.
20:40
I have it as well. So do I?
20:42
Yes no doubter. I'm glad that you said that
20:46
because I did have doubt on that and not because I think it was
20:52
it was one of my ones that I was like I got to have that but I
20:58
didn't it didn't automatically make my list until like I came
21:02
back around to it and I was like okay I gotta I gotta listen to
21:05
it but Peter was talking about Haitian.
21:12
And while this nicely fits into the White Stripes sound, it also
21:19
showcases like Jack has just otherworldly here like, doing
21:26
all sorts of crazy shit with his guitar.
21:28
It's really. What does that other thing that
21:32
he's playing? I think I think it's some sort
21:35
of like a Moog. Is it like one of those things
21:41
like sort of Half keyboard, half like noisemaker almost.
21:44
Yeah, something like that. Yeah.
21:48
But look, you're right. It is a complete Showcase of
21:53
what Jack White can do. And I think at that point like
21:57
he keeps like his songwriting and his guitar playing keeps
22:01
getting better and better with each album and this is like the
22:04
Pinnacle. Okay, you got to the last record
22:07
and this is the height of everything that just happened.
22:10
And I think they put out these six records and eight years
22:14
which is pretty incredible and like to for my I mean that's for
22:20
the, for the last that you don't say that a lot where their last
22:23
record was had one of their best songs if not the best song, but
22:27
for my money. Yeah, it's there.
22:30
So glad to hear you say that because again I thought maybe I
22:33
was just being radio biased like because I heard it on the radio,
22:37
it's I heard on the radio God, I lucky thumb also.
22:41
I think we touch on Meg, white like Meg White's, not the
22:45
greatest drummer in the world but she's the greatest drummer
22:47
for the type of Material that Jack White right solutely?
22:51
Absolutely, yep. It's got a lot of heat and a lot
22:55
of shit in the past and I, I don't know why.
23:01
Yeah, it works, it's perfect accompaniment.
23:04
It's it. It's side by side which is the
23:08
considering what he's doing, like the only other thing, would
23:14
you put a genie, Chamberlain Chamberlain, behind that kit,
23:17
and Why would you need it though?
23:21
That's a seem like it could it work?
23:23
Sure. But like you're looking at
23:27
Blended music as opposed to what the White Stripes are is, look
23:33
what Jack can do and I'm going to sit back here and I'm just
23:36
going to do my thing. So he plays with like what 10
23:41
symbols, and a snare and that's it and then paste rub.
23:44
Yeah, very simple, very simple setup.
23:48
All right, Bradley. No pressure.
23:50
All right. No, it's all good.
23:52
No, I was on the same page as you with Icky Thump to because
23:55
it didn't make my initial like slam dunk.
23:58
No doubt about it list but it was quick to make my, you know,
24:01
on second pass because I have a little bit of the radio hit bias
24:04
as well as like you kind of mentioned and going into this
24:08
whole thing. I was like well you know they
24:09
had some radio songs and you know I try not to let that
24:13
influence me so much but it is kind of a kind of look like to
24:17
research. The Deep cuts a little bit
24:18
better but looking into these you know they had a lot the
24:23
radio hits were hits for a reason.
24:24
There's a lot of really good ones and one that they did have
24:28
at least they play had a lot of radio play around.
24:30
Here was Blue Orchid and I will throw that one out there.
24:35
Yes. Nope, I got it.
24:40
Okay. Um yeah dude, we got it.
24:43
We had it a lot here too. I remember when that because I
24:49
think that's the lead single for get behind me.
24:51
Satan, I think. Yes it is.
24:53
I remember helping at for the first time and I'm like Whoa,
24:58
first of all because like the last I had paid attention to
25:02
them was Seven Nation Army and so I mean you know, I know
25:05
that's just the album before but like I had written them off.
25:09
And then Blue Orchid comes out and I'm like, oh shit, this is,
25:13
this is not that this is something else but them and I'm
25:18
like, okay cool. Again, I still didn't pull the
25:21
trigger and and listen to them but I dig that so okay.
25:27
Three also kind of like in a way almost a little bit dances
25:30
dances. Yeah.
25:33
And like, Jack White doesn't usually sing like that either.
25:36
He's getting like kind of a high tenor, sort of voice.
25:39
And it's a it definitely stands out in the like, you know, I
25:43
went to go. Listen, I kind of knew what I
25:44
was expecting with it but on that first listen, that Dad
25:48
during it. I was like, oh yeah.
25:50
Yeah yeah, yeah. Don't even need to listen much
25:54
further because I know it's right.
25:55
Absolutely. Okay my favorite ones still out
26:01
there and I don't care that it's a track one.
26:04
I don't care that Randy already mentioned it earlier.
26:07
It's arguably my favorite white stripes song.
26:10
Period. It got radio Play.
26:13
I Don't Care. I just fucking love this dead
26:16
leaves in the dirty ground. Yeah, I do not ha ha ha ha
26:25
that's tough. Tough.
26:28
It was it made my initial pass but I'm cutting it.
26:30
Randy is looking prophetic though.
26:32
It's hard. You guys, it's obvious.
26:34
Yeah, we're not getting seven, I don't think know.
26:38
We might we might get 15 threes you maybe?
26:43
Yeah. Yeah.
26:44
All right Peter. Let's see.
26:48
I'm going to try one that that's an album track.
26:54
How about black math? I got it.
26:59
I do as well. So do I have a?
27:01
There's one. All right, there we go.
27:04
Sometimes you mixing something that I even think we get it.
27:08
Get the event has I want to get this plane because it will be
27:14
clear as day. The second starts.
27:18
Come on. Yeah, come on.
27:22
I think this is track 2. Yep.
27:24
Right of course I say let's see the Seven Nation Army and then
27:27
you're like oh shit like you know, a lot of high-energy here.
27:32
It's also you know, you thinking GarageBand, everybody that
27:36
wanted to ever write a song in their garage or their basement
27:39
wrote a song sounding like this. Yeah. all right, talk about, I
27:47
mean, obviously, I thought it would thought it was a great
27:52
song, but did I didn't think that one was good to be
27:54
anonymous? All right, Randy number two on
27:59
my list. Ball on a biscuit sugar.
28:02
Yep. I do not, I do not either.
28:06
Oh, We're in for it, gents we are in 40-ish, we are in for it
28:24
tonight. All right, Bradley, let's see.
28:29
Where should we go with this? How about?
28:35
Let's go with. Let's go with the Union forever.
28:40
Late late cut. No.
28:43
Super fucking late cut. I'm talking like one of those
28:46
seven that I, that I was lamenting over.
28:52
Yeah, it was towards the bottom. I just took a shot towards the
28:55
bottom of my list, but I still like the song a whole lot.
28:57
I love that part in the Middle where it's just the bass drum,
29:00
and he's going, he loves the smoke.
29:02
He likes a joke, like that whole section.
29:05
Like, I've always Always, I've always loved that that's, it's
29:08
really well, put together song and kind of it is one of the
29:12
ones that is kind of experimental White Stripes in a
29:15
way because it definitely has a different sound than the rest of
29:18
the record. I had a hard time leaving out
29:22
like these Blues. Your Blue easier ones.
29:29
All right. Oh shit.
29:31
Back around to me. Man.
29:42
Oh man. All right, I'll take one.
29:46
I'm gonna go out there on a limb.
29:49
We already started talking about Icky Thump.
29:53
This one is dead last on my list but I just couldn't bring it.
29:58
It it doesn't sound like anything else I have but I
30:03
fucking I was listening to it before the show and I love it a
30:07
martyr for my love for you. Oh that was an early cut from my
30:13
final list but it made it made the 32.
30:20
I do not have it. Okay.
30:24
Okay. I had a feeling like I said, I
30:27
felt like I was going on a limb. This is one of my limbs hold on.
30:38
Come on. Dickie thump is a fucking
30:50
Stellar record. It really is.
30:52
Yes. And I honestly thought that I
30:56
was going to have fatigue by the time I got to it, I mean, I did
30:59
but like not because it was because fuck, here's another
31:02
great song. Fuck, here's another great song,
31:04
fuck. All right, Peter.
31:13
Let's stay on Icky. Thump the song.
31:15
It's just a banger. Little cream soda.
31:19
Yes, I do not. I don't either.
31:22
I can't bring it into the threes but like I said that's a song.
31:25
I was somebody mentioned it on Instagram.
31:28
I believe that that's their favorite and I was like I feel
31:32
like I remember that one but I don't remember and I listened to
31:34
it I was like oh fuck. I added this one today.
31:39
I don't know what I was thinking, not adding it a couple
31:42
days ago. I swear to God.
31:44
I almost did I. Um, but I was like, I don't know
31:46
which one to drop and it should have been a martyr for my love
31:49
for you. But hey, all right, Randy, hi.
31:54
The few that I'm thinking about, I'm gonna go to elephant and
31:59
take the air near my fingers. No, I do not have that.
32:05
He likes me. Neither yikes.
32:13
Jesus Christ, ugly for real. That's all right.
32:19
Because, you know, just because we're not agreeing to the
32:26
consent. I mean you people can hear this,
32:29
right? Like, I'm just saying like this.
32:33
listen to these songs and you'll know like, Splitting hairs,
32:37
really G? I found why I took the song like
32:43
it was very early on my list to get into the 20.
32:46
But why? I really, really like the song
32:48
is just has layers to it. Like, you know, all of a sudden,
32:51
I'll get this song stuck in my head and I'll be like that
32:55
bridge that to do then didn't and it'll be that, it'll be the
32:59
beginning. It'll be the the course where
33:02
he's kind of doing those those lyrics there.
33:04
It just like little pieces in different times in different
33:09
ways. Stuck with me, it's It's a that
33:12
is the recipe for a great song. Alright.
33:16
Bradley All right, let's yeah, I don't know where to go with
33:21
this. Let's go.
33:23
I don't have a lot of older stuff of theirs, but I'm going
33:26
to throw it out there anyways from their first album.
33:29
How about screwdriver I got it. I don't I don't either.
33:38
Yeah, I was between screwdriver and another from that record.
33:41
I have one more from their record but that was the only one
33:44
that made my final. Spoiler alert but I did have a
33:47
bunch that made the a handful anyways that made my first pass
33:50
but that was pretty much the only one that made my top 20.
33:54
All right. Back to me, huh?
33:58
I am going to take another swing here, and I'm going to, I'm
34:02
going to realm going to the acoustic realm here, and this
34:06
was one of my ones that was going to make my list, no matter
34:09
what. Even if nobody else has it, I
34:14
was actually introduced to this song through Conan O'Brien needs
34:17
a friend. It's the theme song to Conan
34:19
O'Brien needs a friend. It's we're going to be friends.
34:24
Oh, I have it. I have it as well.
34:27
Oh, It's got a three I'm into that.
34:31
It's one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.
34:33
Yeah. Like it's very childlike but
34:36
also very like sincere. I think it is.
34:42
Yeah, I think the reason for not taking it was just that I don't
34:47
know how I built my list to be very very you know rock and roll
34:53
heavy. And I looked at this arm like
34:57
I've heard this a thousand times it you know I don't think it
35:00
really did much for me the first time I heard it and then
35:03
somewhere in the middle of like yeah I get it I get it now that
35:07
I hear them like it's a sweet song but it's like it's not my
35:10
song. You know what I mean?
35:12
Well after they quit the Icky Thump to her like They did one
35:18
more performance. And this was for Conan O'Brien's
35:21
final show and they came on and did we're going to be friends,
35:27
okay, so it all comes together. Good Conan actually, he, he has
35:31
a band and they cover it. So I think him and Jack wider
35:36
friends, actually, they absolutely are Jack, was on.
35:38
Yeah, the pot earlier this year, it surprised me.
35:42
All right, Peter All right. Speaking of Conan O'Brien.
35:51
He's in the video for this. It's from get behind me.
35:55
Satan the Denial Twist that was on my list and I cut it.
36:02
I also cut it after my first pass.
36:04
Oh man I wish I could read about he's got one.
36:09
Yep. Yep yep yep.
36:11
I wish I could save you Peter again this is the what what bums
36:17
me out is when I don't have a reason but you know sometimes
36:23
you don't I wish I would have known Conan was in the video
36:30
guy. They know that.
36:31
Yeah, he he introduces the band in the video.
36:35
I didn't know that this was a singer.
36:38
Some. Yeah, I know it is I remember
36:41
being a single. I actually thought it was the
36:43
first single. So you guys mentioned that blue
36:45
orchid was I but it's a really cool video.
36:49
Michelle gondry directed it. And when you have the time or
36:54
whatever, I'll put it in the chat.
36:56
It's a really cool video. All right, again, Randy looking
37:04
really prophetic. Yeah, I don't know if I want to
37:10
try for. Yeah might as well.
37:13
I think we're gonna try for the other song out of these that I
37:16
think can be unanimous. It's a hit hardest button to
37:19
button how I got it. I do not, I do this is one of
37:28
those ones that another song. I had a cool video.
37:33
Yeah, oh yeah, this is like quintessential Whitestrips video
37:36
right here. I even period on The Simpsons.
37:39
Yeah, I was just guessing that's right.
37:41
That like right after it came out, it was on The Simpsons.
37:44
So I was like, oh, and again radio song but this one, didn't
37:50
this one kind of disappeared relatively fast.
37:53
But I think it just kind of got overshadowed by Seven Nation
37:55
Army. So yeah.
37:58
All right, that's three Bradley. All right.
38:05
You know, we talked about the variety and all the different
38:08
different things they can do and I like some of the strip down
38:11
stuff and you don't get much more stripped-down, then little
38:14
room. How about little room that made?
38:18
It was late and I was just like, it's 50 seconds.
38:20
I don't need it. I don't have it.
38:24
I don't either unfortunately. Going to be 30 next time,
38:33
because all of what's in the pile right now.
38:36
I had on my, you know, my list before I got everything, let's
38:43
get a little little bit of it. Okay, back to me.
38:57
I don't feel good about any of these.
39:10
How about? How about death letter?
39:17
Jesus Christ. I don't have it I don't have it
39:24
simply because I don't like I like a live version of it more
39:29
than the studio version in the live version of that is not on
39:31
Spotify it was from Obsession. They did with John peel.
39:42
Why do I do this to myself? I think it's time to quit the
39:45
show, guys, I don't know why I do this to myself the way we
39:51
are. Were we're at 11. so Auntie
39:55
police were out of ntp, but If this sticks which I guess it's
40:01
not going to stick but yeah, I mean there's still plenty of
40:04
gameplay and at least we have a conversation to have to like
40:08
dump something out. So it's not, I mean the good
40:12
news is the conversation I think is going to be pretty agreeable.
40:15
So yeah, it just might have a lot that we're going to have to
40:19
talk about. So yes.
40:22
All right, Peter We haven't touched on the second album.
40:27
Yeah, I don't think so. How about Hello Operator.
40:32
Oh, another good one. Yeah.
40:34
No, I didn't take it. I have it me too.
40:38
No, I do not have it. Oh, never mind.
40:41
Well, it's got to though. So All right to Justin and Pete.
40:48
Oh, all right. Ready?
40:51
How do you pronounce that record day?
40:52
Still taste is still jumping, something like that distill
40:56
distill because I think there's like the clip at some point
41:02
where, where I assume one of his parents saying play that song
41:08
distiller. Yeah, I wish to talk about you
41:14
guys had And when he said we're going to be friends that you
41:17
need acoustic song, I think this was my favorite Acoustic Song
41:21
from there as I just couldn't get over it.
41:22
I'm bound to pack it up. Yeah, I have it.
41:28
I don't I don't either. Jews.
41:32
The twos the twos. Let's see Bradley well I'll keep
41:39
the streak alive and throw another one off that album.
41:42
How about sister do you know my name?
41:47
Sorry. I think I may have to stop
41:53
playing songs. We might be here for a while.
41:58
Yeah. All right.
42:02
Mmm. Well, this is a statement and in
42:07
my choice I just don't know what to do with myself.
42:12
No, I didn't take it now, that's also over.
42:18
It is a cover, that's kind of, that's what I came down to with
42:21
that. Yeah, right.
42:23
I just love it. I just love it.
42:26
So I love it, too. It's really the same. all right,
42:32
Peter that's, Let's go back to a key.
42:43
Um, I like the message of the song affecting cause.
42:49
No, I do have it. I have it.
42:53
Yes, I do not but it's got to so stays alive skin of its teeth.
43:02
All right ready? Finding it harder to be a
43:06
gentleman. Finding it harder.
43:13
I got it. Have your songs on my list that
43:20
was absolutely one of my one of those seven that I was really
43:25
comparing. I don't have it.
43:29
All right Bradley Um well you know I was out running around
43:35
earlier and it was a cold cold night.
43:37
How about in the cold cold night?
43:42
That's not really like 22. Yeah, that was a late cut for me
43:47
because that was one of the ones where I was like, I was like,
43:50
okay, let's put a Meg song in there, right?
43:54
Same. Yeah, I can't save you sorry.
44:01
Gotta be a good list but it's going to come with a little bit
44:04
of a sour taste. Yeah.
44:13
All right. How about this one?
44:15
I think I smell a rat. God damn it.
44:18
That's literally 21 motherfucker.
44:21
Somebody else have it so we can push it through.
44:24
I do not have it. I don't have it.
44:27
It hits the floor. I seriously would have fought
44:30
for that. I would have fought for that.
44:33
All right, Peter fuck. Going back to the still apple
44:44
blossom. You know, that I went back to
44:47
that one and yeah, it was really good, but I couldn't find a find
44:53
a spot. No, no, I do not have it.
44:56
Me neither. Yeah, we're going to cover like
44:59
the entire discography. It looks like, I would love to
45:02
see how many songs that we pick at the end of this.
45:05
Yeah. All right.
45:06
Randy Conquest. I think, no, I do not have it.
45:13
Nah, me, neither. I accidentally put the Did you
45:24
see the video for that? It's a bull fight.
45:25
It's the first perfect fit for the freaking song.
45:30
I just accidentally. There we go.
45:34
All right, Bradley, let's stick with Icky Thump.
45:40
How about you don't know what love is.
45:42
You just do? As you're told, I'll save you.
45:47
I got it. I got it.
45:57
Titles in their catalog. All right.
46:03
Hanging by the skin of its teeth that song.
46:05
All right. Um, How about?
46:10
I don't know what I was expecting, but how about
46:11
expecting? No, I thought that made my first
46:18
pass, but I, it's it did not make my cut my own there.
46:29
Maybe we all over thought the room.
46:33
I was trying to tell you this. All right, Peter.
46:42
How about girl? You have no faith in medicine?
46:45
No, David. If you don't have that either
46:50
damn, it looks like there's one or two of this point.
46:53
Like the fourth straight one of mine to go in the trash.
46:56
Yeah, I mean I think I mean I was on somebody's but I was on
47:03
one of Bradley's, but I think all of all of mine, the last
47:05
couple rounds of gone. Going the way of the trash can.
47:09
All right? Randy.
47:11
So salute I picked this because I thought it sounded like a song
47:17
that Kurt Cobain would write it, kind of sounded like something
47:20
that might have been on in utero now Mary Hmm.
47:27
No I it was on my initial list but didn't make the final cut.
47:31
What are we doing here? Gus completely whipping on each
47:36
other awful. Alright.
47:39
Bradley Okay. Well, you know, we've brought it
47:42
up many, many times. I, unless I missed something.
47:45
Did anybody throat? Seven Nation Army.
47:48
If not, I'll throw it out there. No, I got it.
47:54
I don't that's one of those ones where like I could understand if
48:00
nobody else had it. Well, it was a song that I was
48:03
out like, very burned out of like I got to the point where I
48:05
hear it on the radio, I change the station, I just really
48:07
didn't, but going back and having that hurt it for a while
48:11
going back. It's like, well you know, it is
48:13
one of the most popular songs for a reason and I thought it
48:16
was good enough to include Absalom, but I'm also not like I
48:20
said, I'm not going to be heartbroken if it and now
48:22
there's no if about it, when it doesn't go through.
48:25
That's the other reason the others And I didn't pick it was.
48:27
I mean I love the song, I never got burnt out on it but if we're
48:31
making a starter pack like everyone is heard Seven Nation
48:34
Army like yeah that's true. Like I go to soccer games and
48:38
it's like it's a sports Anthem now.
48:40
Like you hear people like people are singing like the melody, the
48:44
song like during the games like and that they might even know
48:47
like what it's from but like it's it's just so huge now.
48:51
Oh yeah. You got me.
48:52
You could recognize like, the, like the baseline or whatever
48:55
from like I all Jack White at Lollapalooza years ago and I
49:00
mean I was there to see it but, you know, You could tell people
49:07
ball on the other side of the, like the park. could hear the
49:15
duck is the bog is God saying we shouldn't have covered this
49:19
episode that I immediately we got some of that Bradley Bradley
49:27
is the open. She chopped up a whole bunch.
49:30
Oh can you still hear me? Can now I'm now?
49:33
Yeah hello. Yeah, can hear.
49:36
Okay, well I'm not only tell the story.
49:38
It's all good with Peter on that though.
49:42
It's, you know, this generation probably has no idea who the
49:47
White Stripes are and they just know it for the melody.
49:51
The song is a catchy, a song. It A great song.
49:55
When you listen to the whole thing, which I guess I hadn't
49:57
done in a while you get to feel like how good it is and how
50:04
great that distortion on it is. And, you know, it just it has a
50:08
lot of personality to it. That's why it's popular but you
50:10
know it's it's one of those things when we did the Rolling
50:14
Stone episode you know, satisfaction was put on the
50:17
board, but I couldn't pick it because it's greater than the
50:21
band. And I think that Seven Nation
50:23
Army is just greater than The White Stripes that's fair, is
50:26
fair. And, you know, I feel the same
50:28
way. I mean, ultimately obviously I
50:31
put it on my list but like, pretty much for all the same
50:35
reasons Bradley was saying is like I had ignored it for so
50:40
long. I thought we'd be doing a
50:42
disservice. If we didn't at least if one of
50:45
us, didn't, at least have it on their list.
50:47
So I have five left. I don't know where you guys are
50:51
at six, okay? Okay.
50:54
So I have also five. Okay so we'll do one more round
50:59
and then we'll dump out. I get the feeling that that this
51:04
one's going to go right to where all the rest of them have been
51:06
going my doorbell, I goddamn it. I do not the only reason why I
51:16
didn't take that was because I One More album distribution.
51:20
Begin the early albums. All right, it's got to it's
51:27
alive, barely but it's alive. All right, Peter.
51:36
I hope I don't. Continue my losing streak here,
51:38
but Rag and Bones. No, I do not either.
51:46
It's not my night, it's none of our needs were, we're all out in
51:53
The Ether. All right.
51:55
Randy. I mentioned this that's I think
51:59
it was when the, you know, the the reboot was was happening
52:04
here. But I mentioned this one.
52:06
I want to be the boy to warm your mother's heart.
52:10
No, I don't like that silence. Nope.
52:13
Yeah, I don't have it yuck. Alright, Bradley one, big yuck.
52:21
I need a, I need to get that final pick because I was the
52:23
only one that wasn't positive. Well for my last official one,
52:30
I'll throw out there how about another little song little ghost
52:43
count? How many are in the pile at the
52:44
end of this? Because it's just there's a lot.
52:51
All right. Man, I don't feel good about any
52:57
of these. Um, I'm playing this one and
53:03
usually this, this would be one of my leads but I'm glad I
53:06
didn't Jimmy the exploder. I got it.
53:10
No I do not. It's got to that was a track one
53:15
on their first album and like right out the gate.
53:18
Like they had their sound figured out.
53:20
Yep. Like yep.
53:22
Like it wasn't like it wasn't like typical bands for like the
53:26
first time is like oh, Explodes. Yep.
53:32
Yep. Yep.
53:33
That's just what happened. Yep.
53:36
All right, let's see. Stop breaking down.
53:39
No, no, no. All right, wasting my time.
53:46
No no, no. And last but not least.
53:53
You're pretty good looking for a girl.
53:55
Yes, I do have that. That was my last cut.
53:58
That was when I was struggling with and I ended up cutting it.
54:03
Yeah, that's a no for me dog. Hey at least at least you got
54:07
somebody on something through good.
54:10
All right. Peter Let's see.
54:15
It's true that we love one another.
54:17
Nope it's fine. No, I like that song a lot but I
54:20
did not. Astro know what?
54:32
Fuck it. I do not have it.
54:36
And finally forever for her. No.
54:40
Yeah. I have that one.
54:41
Oh shit. This point is just gravy.
54:45
Yeah. Yeah, boom.
54:48
Boom. All right.
54:51
You still have a shot to land something Randy?
54:55
Yeah. I got four shots.
54:57
So how many do you have left Bradley 30?
55:00
Boy. All right, let's start from the
55:04
first record. You got anything else from the
55:05
first record. I think you said it, didn't I do
55:08
that? So let's throw cannon in the
55:10
trash. Then I was listening to that.
55:13
One right before we went on to that's like it does John the
55:18
Revelator in the you know hypnotized.
55:25
That was one of the other two last cuts the child missed.
55:29
It were yeah it was pretty good looking for a girl and
55:31
hypnotized were the two. I even wrote them down as the I
55:34
don't know mentions but no it didn't make my final one yoosh.
55:38
That was a good folk song I like that.
55:40
Yeah. Take take take yes.
55:43
I do have that one. Hey, well, look at that.
55:47
Wonderful. And my last one is bone broke.
55:52
No, I don't have that one. Okay, right, and so if I counted
55:58
correctly, you have what to left, but I have to just for
56:03
fun. Those write those two are ugly,
56:05
as I seem And there's no home for you here.
56:11
Yeah, that was that was kind of a tough cut for me.
56:14
And the only reason why I cut it is because it sounded way too
56:17
much like Dead Leaves and the dirty ground, right?
56:20
Well, I picked it over the head. So when they have to unanimous,
56:25
yep. Yep.
56:29
Yep. Wow.
56:30
You if you hadn't told you all I know if someone had told me,
56:33
we're going to have to unanimous, I don't think I would
56:35
have picked those two songs as the to I would have.
56:38
I mean if you thought maybe but I wouldn't have guessed that
56:40
black math would have been the other animals.
56:42
Yeah I mean I'm glad it is but just before we swing into the so
56:49
50 songs in total picked out of 87.
56:55
Yeah, yeah, whoa. Well that just shows how good
56:59
their catalog is well. Yeah, you know, that's what I
57:01
was saying at the beginning is and then I also wanted to say
57:03
this, I asked in the Discord just before we went on last.
57:09
Second, thoughts on the White Stripes, Jenny had this to say,
57:11
the elephant album used to be my fucking Jam.
57:13
Recently Spotify has been forcing me to listen to fell in
57:15
love with a girl so much. It's driving me insane.
57:19
Okay, so obviously as we mentioned the two unanimous are
57:23
black math in a key thump. So what do we have?
57:26
Four threes here. One, two.
57:27
Two, three, four, five, six, six threes, I'll read them.
57:32
And then we can decide if we if we're just taking them all.
57:34
Because to me it seems like the obvious choice that leaves in
57:37
the dirty ground Hotel. Yorba fell in love with a girl.
57:40
We're going to be friends the hardest button to button and
57:43
Blue Orchid. I'll tell you how to hold off on
57:48
fell in. Love with the girls.
57:49
The restroom going. He's going to say all of them
57:53
are pretty much radio songs for the most part.
57:57
I think not that that's a bad thing but yeah that's why I
58:01
don't you know fell in love with fell in love with a girl to get
58:05
through at least yet I'm at least catcher I well all I was
58:11
on all of these except for Hotel Yorba but I'll get behind that.
58:17
Let's see does it. So does anybody have anything
58:20
against what? Randy said all of them but fell
58:23
in love with the girl going in right now.
58:26
Well, I don't know, I think you just need some, you need some
58:33
electric rockers in there really, I'm not opposed to
58:36
holding off on fell in love with the girl.
58:37
I just don't know if all the others should be so automatic.
58:40
But I mean I didn't vote for Dead Leaves or hardest button,
58:44
the button. Like I said earlier I think I
58:47
could be of the to I prefer Dead Leaves, over hardest button the
58:51
button. But I mean, if you guys really
58:55
push for, I mean, I guess I'm okay with both of them, but I'd
58:59
rather just leaves Her. Or if that's what we're doing
59:01
here, I'd rather Dead Leaves. I think Dead Leaves is the
59:04
number one in this group. And then Blue Orchid do tell you
59:08
are running on All right, so let's grab Dead Leaves.
59:12
Where you at on this Peter? See, there are also.
59:19
Yeah. They were all singles except for
59:21
I believe Dead Leaves and dirty ground.
59:24
These are yeah we had it here. I know what I heard.
59:28
Yeah. I think that was the second
59:29
off-white. I was gonna say, I thought I was
59:30
the second one. So we got a lot of rockers.
59:36
I think out of these three is, I think Hotel of Yoruba and we're
59:43
going to be friends, should go on the list.
59:45
All right. So all right, I'm fine with both
59:47
of those. I had them both, but yeah, I
59:49
didn't have, we're going to be friends, but I think, you know,
59:53
I'm not against it. All right, so let's do that
59:55
then. All right.
59:57
So that takes us to black math, Icky.
59:59
Thump dead leaves in the dirty ground Hotel.
1:00:01
You were, we're going to be friends in, right?
1:00:04
And so, Holding off for now fell in love with the girl hardest
1:00:07
button to button and Blue Orchid, I'd like to give lure
1:00:10
Cannon. I would push Blue Orchid in I
1:00:14
didn't vote for it but I won't be opposed to it.
1:00:17
Alright so let's do that, then let's bring that up to six.
1:00:22
Then can we talk about the tragedy?
1:00:24
The travesty not having a ball on a Biscuit in the top 10.
1:00:28
Can we please talk about that? I honestly it's one of the few
1:00:34
that came up today that I didn't recall, it's a seven-minute jam,
1:00:40
it's just play it. Like go somewhere in the middle
1:00:43
and just hear them go off. All right, let's see.
1:00:49
Dddd. Dddd, dddd.
1:01:23
A little bit for it yet. The series Blues vibe from this
1:01:33
side. I don't know if you get from the
1:01:35
other ones that are in or the other ones that have threes
1:01:39
right now. I mean, we that we definitely
1:01:42
don't have that represented in threes because that's fell in
1:01:45
love with a girl hard as button the button, right?
1:01:48
Do we have that? Because we definitely like this.
1:01:54
I don't think we have that at all.
1:01:56
So, I mean, I'm not against it. I didn't have it but I'm not
1:02:01
against it. Yeah, I'm kind of in the same
1:02:03
way as well. I'm not really against it.
1:02:06
I also didn't have it. So I guess I wouldn't really be
1:02:11
opposed to it being pushed through.
1:02:13
All right, Peter, um, I mean it was 10, I pick, so I'm okay with
1:02:19
it. Okay, all right, so let's do
1:02:20
that then let's get it. Okay.
1:02:23
That's that's a, that's a good one to get through.
1:02:26
Also, looking at these twos, no need to even bring Seven Nation
1:02:29
Army up. There's no way it makes the cut
1:02:31
at this point. Yeah, I mean, I fell in love
1:02:34
with the girls that going to make it.
1:02:35
I can't imagine Seven Nation Army with yeah.
1:02:37
So where we at, 71. Two, three, four, five, six
1:02:40
seven. Yeah, so we got three left, very
1:02:43
odd album wise on this like, how many from history question,
1:02:47
nothing from the first two. Yeah, so we got to, from
1:02:50
elephant three from white blood cells, one from Icky, Thump one
1:02:54
from get behind me, Satan So I guess that's the next question.
1:03:03
Do we? Do we care about album
1:03:06
representation? I mean right now we've gotten
1:03:14
the bulk of the, you know, the the strong albums that would the
1:03:17
best albums. So mean we can easily take
1:03:20
another from elephant. If there's only two, I don't
1:03:23
know which one at this point. But you know, if we're thinking
1:03:27
early stuff, the one that I'll go to bat for is I'm bound to
1:03:31
pack it up. I have also had that vote.
1:03:34
I mean I also put a, you know, I had that on my list as well and
1:03:38
that is I like the side a bit. Yeah, it's I mean it's acoustic.
1:03:44
You have we're going to be friends as the acoustic but it's
1:03:46
a different. It's kind of a more solemn song
1:03:49
than you know, Happy song. What do you think?
1:03:52
Yeah. There's no rule that we only
1:03:53
have to have one Acoustics. No there's not there's not
1:03:55
right. We do I know.
1:03:56
Yeah I know you're saying but it's a different type of
1:04:00
acoustic. And just for the record, if we
1:04:05
are looking to put another from elephant on the only one still
1:04:08
alive is hardest button to button.
1:04:12
Because we yeah we already knocked out Seven Nation Army
1:04:16
works that fucking record. Wow yeah I mean I'd be okay, but
1:04:21
button the button on but let's let's see how it goes.
1:04:26
Um I this one hasn't come up. I'm I'm looking at little cream
1:04:31
soda here now, too. I dig that one.
1:04:34
I fucking love that one coming back to it.
1:04:39
See, what do we? Let's see, let's listen, a
1:04:43
little cream soda. Already that guitar in there and
1:04:47
a little change. Like at the end of the measure
1:04:49
fool, That's that's um yeah. I mean come on like yeah.
1:05:02
This, like I said, somebody said this on Instagram, so I went to
1:05:07
listen to it. I was like Fuck.
1:05:09
What do I do? What do I do?
1:05:11
What do I drop? I was like I can't.
1:05:14
I feel like this is kind of in the same ballpark as Seven
1:05:18
Nation Army. So if we're not going to have
1:05:19
Seven Nation Army I think a little cream soda would kind of
1:05:21
fit like that. That's that kind of song
1:05:24
structure. Yeah that's fair.
1:05:28
I'm okay with that. But yeah, I love the song.
1:05:31
So obviously I'm in agreement. Let's do that.
1:05:34
Let's get little cream soda. Brings us up to 8.
1:05:41
All right. Okay, so now the question
1:05:45
becomes. Do we do one from distill and
1:05:48
one from self-titled because we still have a couple from know if
1:05:52
we need one from both. I don't want representing the
1:05:57
early days is fine enough. I kind of think the same way on
1:06:01
that one. I only had three that made it
1:06:04
through my list from the first two albums.
1:06:06
There were more that by made the first pass, but I just, I just
1:06:10
thought the ladder albums were much more powerful.
1:06:14
Not that these any of those times were bad but you know who
1:06:17
listened to screwdriver? Yeah, boom, boom, boom, boom.
1:07:18
I can tell you what this is why I didn't make that list.
1:07:21
Not that it's bad song but it takes a sec.
1:07:29
What a little Hello, Operator. Yeah, we play whole upper.
1:07:37
I love this song. Oh my God, I hate you guys.
1:07:54
Let me have you do this? All right, so let me get your
1:08:02
thoughts Peter on the the he has posited, Randy has posited that
1:08:10
when we only need one from the first two, I also like if you
1:08:16
wanted to play them down the pack it up whenever but I'm fat
1:08:20
I think the those three can be in that that discussion.
1:08:25
I agree with having just one for the first two albums and I think
1:08:29
that we only have one for get behind me.
1:08:32
Satan. I think we should give the tenth
1:08:35
spot to that. It was so long that All right,
1:08:39
I'm with that. Um, all right, so let's see.
1:08:47
So let's kind of get behind me. Satan, like, I came out after
1:08:53
elephant, which they blew up with elephant and then get
1:08:55
behind me. Satan, like, what the exception
1:08:57
of Blue Orchid. It's like a very different sound
1:09:00
for them. Like a lot of Acoustics, a lot
1:09:02
of different instrumentation it was just like oh we're famous
1:09:06
now. Okay, we're going to do
1:09:07
something completely different. all right, so let me yeah, even
1:09:13
going back and listening through all these.
1:09:14
If you would have asked me before I started listening, what
1:09:17
my favorite album was, I probably would have said Icky
1:09:21
Thump and I pray I think I would have said that probably because
1:09:24
it was the most recent, even though it was 15 years ago or
1:09:27
whatever it was. But after going back and
1:09:28
listening, I really either that I just because of, you know,
1:09:32
it's been 15 years, whatever get behind me, Satan has really
1:09:35
moved to the probably the top of my list.
1:09:37
I really love that album. So only having one song on.
1:09:40
There's don't think crime or anything like that but I think
1:09:43
it could definitely use some more representation.
1:09:46
All right, so let's let's solve our first two albums problem, so
1:09:50
we got screwdriver. Hello Operator or bound to pack
1:09:55
it up. What are you thinking, Peter.
1:10:00
I mean, I'm just being selfish but I'm thinking howl, operator,
1:10:03
because that was my pick. If you had one of the three
1:10:08
Randy, which one would it be? Like it's tough between
1:10:14
screwdriver and amount of pack it up.
1:10:16
I feel like I'm bound to pack it up, have so much heart to it and
1:10:20
really kind of digs deep into a solo most.
1:10:23
So I'm going to go with that because I don't think we have
1:10:25
that. All right.
1:10:27
Bradley if you had one of those three proof, I also would like I
1:10:32
also was the one of the 24 screwdriver and I bound to pack
1:10:34
it up. I went to Jimmy the Explorer is
1:10:40
also. I don't think we mentioned that
1:10:43
either. No, yeah well of the to I think,
1:10:50
although I think in a personal taste, I might like screwdriver
1:10:54
a little bit better. I think I kind of agree with
1:10:55
Randy on the, I'm bound to pack it up side of that, so I would
1:10:58
vote for that, I would vote for, are bound to pick it up.
1:11:04
I'm okay with this. Just because it finally came up
1:11:15
might as well brutalized myself, okay.
1:11:21
Yeah, I mean, I'm cool with bound to pack it up to give us a
1:11:28
because ultimately I think we can't we have Hello.
1:11:32
Operator covered, I think. I think we have that sound
1:11:37
elsewhere and bound to pack it up at least head covers acoustic
1:11:43
differently. All right, so that gives us 9
1:11:47
and now let's so we're doing something from nobody wins.
1:11:52
Yeah. Get so from get behind me.
1:11:57
We have my doorbell forever for her and take.
1:12:00
Take take Was it? My doorbell ahead, was it?
1:12:07
Well, we always have. I don't hit the radio play but
1:12:09
well self-denial twist. Why did that not come?
1:12:23
I mean my doorbell like it was a hit but it wasn't a huge hit
1:12:30
like right like that doesn't get played any more like sure?
1:12:34
No I mean of the three I voted for all of them other than my
1:12:37
doorbell so so I'm cool with the others.
1:12:41
But yeah I feel like take-take-take is way too close.
1:12:45
Like we have that already. I feel like we don't necessarily
1:12:48
need that. I'd like to hear forever for her
1:12:51
so because cuz that's just kind of left my brain right now.
1:13:02
Marimbas. Yeah, so I mean if we want
1:13:05
different, here it is. I mean, my doorbell I think that
1:13:15
that has a sound that I don't think we've touched on this has
1:13:19
like a kind of gospel. Yeah, this has like a third
1:13:22
representation of acoustic. Well that's why I said when I
1:13:27
was trying to separate them into two categories and I realized
1:13:29
there's way more into the Fillmore
1:13:53
Yeah, that's good. We have piano is that was
1:14:02
actually something I was considering to yeah.
1:14:09
Because I mean that might give it the edge.
1:14:15
I mean I'll vote for my doorbell.
1:14:22
Probably still prefer forever for her, but I'm okay with my
1:14:25
doorbell making it, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it
1:14:28
or be upset or anything. All right, so let's look for
1:14:31
this, for the sake of our sanity.
1:14:34
Let's let's do it. And then is that it was that
1:14:38
what you want to Peter? Yeah, okay, there we go.
1:14:43
All right, this is 10 that gives us 10.
1:14:46
We had to talk her way all the way down from from to.
1:14:49
All right. So we got black math, Icky,
1:14:50
Thump, dead leaves in the dirty ground Hotel, your boat.
1:14:52
We're going to be friends, Blue Orchid, Ball and Biscuit little
1:14:56
cream soda. I'm bound to pack it up and my
1:14:59
doorbell. Whoo. so now, let's crank it up
1:15:05
to the next level, Peter of those 10, which one's the one
1:15:11
That leaves in 30 grand. Mmm, Mmm, delicious.
1:15:19
I love that. I fucking love that choice.
1:15:22
What do you think? Randy.
1:15:24
That's my number to my number one is Icky Thump.
1:15:26
You just gotta show the display that Jack puts on here, there's
1:15:32
like this. It's a statement frickin song.
1:15:35
You want to know how talented I am.
1:15:38
Listen to that, that's that's number one.
1:15:41
And while number two is great, I don't know if it's closed.
1:15:46
What about what do you think Bradley?
1:15:49
If I was going to go one and two, my number one would be blue
1:15:52
orchid but number two would be the thump.
1:15:55
Hmm. Interesting.
1:16:01
I think I'm the exact opposite of Randy.
1:16:03
I'd have dead leaves in the dirty ground, Icky, Thump.
1:16:06
Um, I mean, I think Dead Leaves and dirty ground is more
1:16:10
representative of their overall sound.
1:16:12
And like, That song represents like what you're going to find
1:16:17
for like most for their records. You know, we didn't do not that
1:16:24
this helps it doesn't help but both of them are track ones too.
1:16:30
So yeah. Well all of them even blue
1:16:33
orchids. Attract one.
1:16:34
It's all right. I mean, this like this is what
1:16:41
you're going to get with the White Stripes lie.
1:17:00
Just for austerity. And also I okay so I will I will
1:17:28
say this in defensive Icky Thump it should be noted that it was
1:17:33
one of the two that we all we all thought belonged.
1:17:36
Yeah, yeah that's true. True.
1:17:40
Whether that's enough to overtake any of the others.
1:17:43
I don't know. But I think it is worth noting.
1:17:49
I think oh I think what. What?
1:17:52
Okay, I was just gonna say I think ultimately what I'm
1:17:56
leaning towards With dead leaves in the dirty.
1:18:00
Ground is more represent. Like again, not to say that this
1:18:05
is not indicative of their sound, this Randy put it.
1:18:09
This is a statement song. This is I'm fucking great.
1:18:13
Check this shit out. It's also the, the just, the
1:18:17
evolution of the White Stripes. Just I feel like an ends here.
1:18:20
It kind of starts at, you know, if you want to say, it starts at
1:18:24
fell in love with a girl. Sure.
1:18:25
But, and it's the culmination Of their whole entire catalog.
1:18:32
What were you going to say Bradley?
1:18:34
I was just going to ask about everybody's like whatever reason
1:18:36
number three would be in of the three like if that might help,
1:18:39
it's like if there's everybody's got the same number three or
1:18:42
three people in the same. Number three, that might help us
1:18:43
narrow it down to two or something but we're no, no he
1:18:48
felt his. Yeah, I'm high up there that
1:18:50
it's not even worth it. I mean and it keeps a defense I
1:18:55
think it's got one of the great lines ever in a song yourself
1:18:59
that you're never going to. Yes.
1:19:01
Yes. Well.
1:19:02
Americans what? Nothing better to do, why don't
1:19:04
you kick yourself out? If you're an immigrant to had be
1:19:06
a pimp and a prostitute to. Yeah, that's true.
1:19:12
I feel like we're arguing for argument's sake.
1:19:14
I Think It's gotta be up at this point.
1:19:18
All right, so let's do it. Number one, Icky Thump.
1:19:22
I will say that I disagree with Randy's, assertion that, it
1:19:26
wasn't closed because it definitely was.
1:19:28
All right. So let's do this.
1:19:30
We've got Vicky thump at one black math, dead leaves in the
1:19:34
dirty ground Hotel. Yorba we're going to be friends,
1:19:37
Blue, Orchid, Ball and Biscuit little cream soda.
1:19:40
I'm bound to pack it up and my doorbell rounds it out.
1:19:43
Let's let Icky Thump get its moment in the Sun.
1:20:07
So far in the the best of 2022. How does this not go far?
1:20:13
Listen to this? This doesn't even get us to like
1:20:21
the buckets, the solos. And there it is.
1:20:25
We have done it. However, painstaking, it was, we
1:20:30
got there and I mean I just goes to show you man deep deep
1:20:34
discography like it. There isn't a ton of songs 86 to
1:20:39
be exact for hours 25, but it's deep.
1:20:43
It's a deep deep discography. If we did not sell you on the
1:20:47
White Stripes because we had so many misses listen again, and
1:20:51
then listen to this list and then pick any 10 that hit the
1:20:55
trash, listen to that. And I you will you will dig the
1:20:59
White Stripes. That's a, that's a gerund am
1:21:01
Todd guaran-damn-tee it. All right, so we've done it.
1:21:05
We've got 10. You know what, if you'd like to
1:21:08

let them love and people will see you next week.
