Speaker 1: is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to
1:54
Speaker 1: Disgraceland the after Bernie, Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode.
2:13
Speaker 1: A little thing we like to call the after party.
2:16
Speaker 1: This is the show after the show, the party after
2:18
Speaker 1: the party. The bridge to get you from one full
2:20
Speaker 1: episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig
2:24
Speaker 1: into the dirt on this episode, we are talking, among
2:27
Speaker 1: other things, about our new full episode on Mariah Carey,
2:31
Speaker 1: a little bit on this week's rewind episode on Derek
2:33
Speaker 1: and the Dominoes, and of course your voicemails, text, dms
2:37
Speaker 1: and more, and is always a whole lot of rosie.
2:40
Speaker 1: All right, just goes, let's get it here it all right?
2:54
Speaker 1: This week in Disgraceland, we are coming upon Christmas. We
2:58
Speaker 1: are here in the holiday see, and as such, we
3:01
Speaker 1: have a brand new episode on Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey
3:05
Speaker 1: in Disgraceland. Who would have thunk, Well, certainly not that
3:09
Speaker 1: dude on Instagram who's always hitting me up to do
3:11
Speaker 1: a replacements episode and is very pissed off that we
3:14
Speaker 1: cover Mariah Carey before the replacements. And I gotta say,
3:16
Speaker 1: I don't blame them. I don't blame them one bit.
3:19
Speaker 1: But I wanted to do this Mariah Carey episode because
3:22
Speaker 1: she is ubiquitous this time of year, and I wanted
3:25
Speaker 1: to dig into her story because I knew it was
3:27
Speaker 1: filled with drama, and I knew it would give me
3:30
Speaker 1: an excuse to talk about her massive hit. All I
3:33
Speaker 1: want for Christmas is you More on that later. But
3:36
Speaker 1: here's the deal. With this one. We plan our release
3:38
Speaker 1: schedule way out in advance. Okay, We've we got like
3:43
Speaker 1: nine ten people who work on every episode, and as
3:46
Speaker 1: you know, we're hammering out the content. And Matt Boden
3:49
Speaker 1: here at Team Double Elvis has this sort of beautiful
3:54
Speaker 1: mind schedule, a production schedule that lays everything out but
3:59
Speaker 1: for all of us to work on. We're all working
4:01
Speaker 1: on different parts of different episodes at different times. The
4:04
Speaker 1: key to this, however, is planning, and we have to
4:06
Speaker 1: plan way far in advance. I mentioned this when we
4:10
Speaker 1: did the Ditty episode. And we try to tell stories
4:13
Speaker 1: sometimes at dovetail nicely with different times of the year. Halloween,
4:16
Speaker 1: you may recall the Misfits episode, or April Fool's Day,
4:20
Speaker 1: you know, Jim Morrison, John Denver, Thanksgiving. We're working on
4:24
Speaker 1: a good Thanksgiving episode already, or at least we're thinking
4:26
Speaker 1: about it for next year. I know what we're going
4:28
Speaker 1: to do. When you think about musicians and singers and
4:31
Speaker 1: you think about Christmas, I don't know how in the
4:34
Speaker 1: modern world you can't think about Mariah Carey and her
4:37
Speaker 1: ubiquitous holiday anthem. All I want for Christmas is you,
4:41
Speaker 1: which continues to charge and do big business twenty nine
4:46
Speaker 1: years after its original release. Now you can say what
4:50
Speaker 1: you want about this song. And I don't particularly love
4:53
Speaker 1: this song. I've kind of grown to accept it in
4:56
Speaker 1: my life. But there's one thing that we didn't upon
5:00
Speaker 1: in the episode. And then I talked about this. I
5:03
Speaker 1: did a little video on Instagram and TikTok about this
5:06
Speaker 1: episode and about how much money it makes for Mariah,
5:10
Speaker 1: and I didn't talk about it there either. In case
5:12
Speaker 1: you're wondering, go to a disgrace landpod on Instagram. You'll
5:16
Speaker 1: get the whole context. But basically, all I'm want for
5:18
Speaker 1: Christmas is you. The single pulls in a cool three
5:21
Speaker 1: million every December for Mariah Carey. Not bad stocking change.
5:27
Speaker 1: But the one thing, to my point, the one thing
5:30
Speaker 1: that we haven't yet discussed is Okay, this song came
5:34
Speaker 1: out twenty nine years ago. What's that put it at
5:36
Speaker 1: like ninety four something like that. I think it was released,
5:41
Speaker 1: and we have not talked about how timeless this song is.
5:46
Speaker 1: It sounds timeless, you cannot place it. Was it written
5:51
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four? Was it written in two thousand
5:53
Speaker 1: and four, twenty twenty four, nineteen eighty four, Okay, it
5:56
Speaker 1: sounds a little more modern, I guess, I guess, I
5:58
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it could pass eighty four. It's definitely
6:01
Speaker 1: of the modern world, but it is timeless, and I
6:04
Speaker 1: think that pop stars, pop songwriters strive for a certain
6:08
Speaker 1: amount of timelessness in their songs and in the records
6:13
Speaker 1: they produce, and that is most certainly part of the
6:16
Speaker 1: appeal here with All I Want for Christmas is You.
6:18
Speaker 1: Plus Mariah Carey has kind of leaned into it. She's
6:20
Speaker 1: kind of become the you know, the Christmas princess in
6:23
Speaker 1: a way, and that's cool. Good for her. But I
6:27
Speaker 1: can just even if I don't appreciate, even if I'm
6:30
Speaker 1: not reaching, you know, for the search bar on Spotify
6:34
Speaker 1: and banging in Mariah carry All I Want for Christmas
6:37
Speaker 1: for You, I can still appreciate the craftsmanship of the song,
6:41
Speaker 1: the production, the songwriting, and what it's actually done and
6:46
Speaker 1: how it was able to achieve this massive success. Even
6:50
Speaker 1: if you don't like it, and even if, like me,
6:53
Speaker 1: hadn't I haven't liked it at times, you can't argue
6:56
Speaker 1: with the results. You can't argue with the market, as
6:58
Speaker 1: they say, people want this song. It's the biggest selling
7:03
Speaker 1: Christmas song of all time beat that Bing Crosby. Speaking
7:06
Speaker 1: of Bing Crosby, we also hit on some Bing Crosby stories,
7:09
Speaker 1: some David Bowie bing Crosby stories over on Instagram. And
7:14
Speaker 1: you know, if Mariah Carey ain't your thing, I get it.
7:17
Speaker 1: You know, we get into the darkness here in the
7:19
Speaker 1: episode with Tommy Mottola and her relationship with him and
7:22
Speaker 1: just how bad shit that whole thing was and everything
7:24
Speaker 1: that went down there, and it's ultimately the light here
7:27
Speaker 1: is ultimately a story of resilience. Mariah Carrey a survivor
7:31
Speaker 1: who goes beyond this incredibly. I don't even know. I
7:37
Speaker 1: can't find the right adjective here to describe how fucked
7:40
Speaker 1: up this relationship was with her boss, who was also
7:43
Speaker 1: her husband. She persevered, and I love those stories. But
7:47
Speaker 1: if this ain't your thing, I get it. So over
7:50
Speaker 1: at disgracelandpod, on Instagram and on TikTok and probably on
7:54
Speaker 1: X as well. I'm done qualifying X by the way
7:57
Speaker 1: and saying that it used to be known as Twitter.
7:59
Speaker 1: It's X Okay. From now on, it's X and over
8:01
Speaker 1: on X as well. I'm going to be releasing these
8:05
Speaker 1: daily little stories, little Christmas related music or iconic sort
8:11
Speaker 1: of dark stories. Okay, to fill in the gaps here
8:14
Speaker 1: between Mariah Carey and whatever we're doing on the other
8:18
Speaker 1: side of the year with new content. I can't even
8:19
Speaker 1: remember the next new episode we're doing, but it's coming,
8:22
Speaker 1: all right, So is Mariah Carey? Is all I want
8:25
Speaker 1: for Christmas?
8:25
Speaker 2: For you?
8:26
Speaker 1: Sentimental cheese? You bet? Absolutely? Are we allowed to enjoy
8:30
Speaker 1: sentimental Christmas cheese every year? Sure thing? Why not? That's
8:34
Speaker 1: part of what Christmas is all about being sentimental, isn't it.
8:38
Speaker 1: You know, there's nothing wrong with being sentimental from time
8:40
Speaker 1: to time. And I get a story for that as well.
8:43
Speaker 1: That's going to hit soon, very soon on an in
8:46
Speaker 1: short form and video on Instagram. You'll see that. But anyways,
8:49
Speaker 1: this has, like I said, surveillance, armed guards, sabotage, and again,
8:54
Speaker 1: like I said, resilience, the resilience of one of the
8:56
Speaker 1: season's most enduring voices, Mariah Carey. So if you have
9:00
Speaker 1: not heard it, check it out now. If you want darkness,
9:03
Speaker 1: we got darkness. We got ultra darkness teed up for
9:06
Speaker 1: you tomorrow in your feed, in the form of our
9:09
Speaker 1: Derek and the Dominoes, eric Clapton's former band. The episode
9:14
Speaker 1: we did on Derek and the Dominoes and their drummer
9:17
Speaker 1: Jim Gordon, and just yeah, it's Christmas, It's madness. It's
9:24
Speaker 1: a descent into madness and involves a hammer, a butcher knife,
9:28
Speaker 1: and some dead family members. And that's all I'm going
9:31
Speaker 1: to say there, but check it out. The score is beautiful.
9:35
Speaker 1: Matt Boden crushed the mix on this one. I'm pretty
9:38
Speaker 1: sure he did the music as well. He killed it
9:41
Speaker 1: all right, So to recap, that's Mariah Carey plus a
9:44
Speaker 1: rewind on Derek in the Dominoes, all in your disgrace
9:47
Speaker 1: sland feed this week, I have been super active lately
9:52
Speaker 1: over on Instagram and TikTok, but you know, mainly Instagram first,
9:57
Speaker 1: and I've been doing these little videos almost daily, trying
10:01
Speaker 1: to get into these interesting, sort of holy shit moments
10:07
Speaker 1: that are either in our episodes or adjacent to our episodes.
10:10
Speaker 1: You know, the amount of money that Mariah Carey makes
10:12
Speaker 1: for this song, that's an interesting thing. We didn't actually
10:14
Speaker 1: hit on that in the episode the beef between Sting
10:18
Speaker 1: and Diddy, you know, because we did this ditty episode
10:21
Speaker 1: over the royalties and lots of back and forth about that.
10:25
Speaker 1: I talked a little bit about in one of the videos,
10:27
Speaker 1: the Jane's Addiction Dave Navarro story of Conne Navarro or
10:32
Speaker 1: her murder, and that video is up over four hundred
10:37
Speaker 1: thousand views at this point, and that I mean a
10:40
Speaker 1: lot of them. The Diddy Sting video is over one
10:42
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, you know, and we don't have that many followers,
10:45
Speaker 1: but we're growing and growing fast now because of this,
10:48
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna keep doing it. It's occurred to me
10:50
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks and releasing these videos that
10:53
Speaker 1: this is part of what you guys want. You guys
10:55
Speaker 1: want these incredibly just I call them holy shit moments,
11:00
Speaker 1: holy shit learning moments, just the stuff I come across
11:03
Speaker 1: constantly when I'm researching these these subjects, and I try
11:08
Speaker 1: to jam as many of them as I can into
11:10
Speaker 1: the episodes, but oftentimes I can't be eucet. You know, we
11:13
Speaker 1: do have a story to tell, and I'm just gonna
11:16
Speaker 1: do more of it. The other thing I found that
11:18
Speaker 1: that you guys really appreciate and really like. We released
11:20
Speaker 1: that in excess episode and you know, the last sort
11:24
Speaker 1: of five minutes of the episode are really a tribute
11:27
Speaker 1: to Michael Hutchinson ascend Off, and I'm trying to figure
11:31
Speaker 1: out a way to do that, not just in the episodes,
11:33
Speaker 1: but do it elsewhere. Create content for you guys that's
11:37
Speaker 1: based on these musicians and these icons. The pace tribute
11:40
Speaker 1: to them in a way. And it really got me
11:43
Speaker 1: thinking about how, you know, in these episodes they're dark, right,
11:47
Speaker 1: we talk about this all the time, and they're dark stories,
11:50
Speaker 1: but there's always light in almost all of them. There's
11:53
Speaker 1: always always light, all right. Maybe not the Dirk and
11:55
Speaker 1: the Dominoes one, but there's always light that I seek
11:59
Speaker 1: out as a writer, a researcher, storyteller, and I feel
12:04
Speaker 1: like that's part of what we do. I feel like
12:06
Speaker 1: that's what keeps you guys, part of what keeps you
12:08
Speaker 1: guys coming back. If I'm wrong, let me know six one, seven,
12:11
Speaker 1: nine oh six sixty six three eight, voicemail or text.
12:16
Speaker 1: I went long in this segment, so I'm gonna take
12:18
Speaker 1: a quick break back on the other side with some
12:20
Speaker 1: responses to your emails, to your text, to your voicemails.
12:46
Speaker 1: All Right, we are back, and if you're listening to this,
12:49
Speaker 1: you're new here. You're you're a new Disgrace Slam listener.
12:53
Speaker 1: I gotta say I should have said this at the top.
12:55
Speaker 1: This is a bonus episode. This isn't the real thing. Okay,
12:57
Speaker 1: this is sort of the shirt after the shirt. This
13:00
Speaker 1: is we're coming down after the full episode, the real episode,
13:03

13:27
Speaker 1: you a little lay of the land. Get an email
13:29
Speaker 1: here from a new listener. This one from David Warden right,
13:33
Speaker 1: sand Hey, Jake, I recommend you do a podcast on
13:36
Speaker 1: Daryl or Phil from Pantera. Should be very polarized and
13:39
Speaker 1: giving the Panteras back in the news and on the road,
13:42
Speaker 1: and Daryl was shot to death on stage. I'm gonna
13:44
Speaker 1: cut you off right there. David. We did do an
13:47
Speaker 1: episode on Pantera, most specifically on Dinmbag darryl Abbit, So
13:53
Speaker 1: check that out. You can find that in the Disgraced
13:55
Speaker 1: Land archive. It's there, It's ready for you. You're gonna
13:58
Speaker 1: love it. We don't touch on Phil that much because,
14:00
Speaker 1: like you said, yeah, polarizing, and you know, maybe at
14:05
Speaker 1: another time, but if you want your fill of the
14:06
Speaker 1: Abbot Brothers, you're going to get him in this Pantera
14:08
Speaker 1: episode that we did. Another email here from longtime listener Benedetto.
14:14
Speaker 1: If I'm saying this wrong, I apologize, but I recognized
14:16
Speaker 1: this dude's name from Instagram Benedetto Manzella or Benedetto Menzela,
14:22
Speaker 1: however you pronounce it. I apologize if I got it wrong.
14:25
Speaker 1: Subject Bordain message, Hey Jake, been meaning to write this
14:28
Speaker 1: all week, but my head has been a mess in
14:29
Speaker 1: my computer was down for the count, and typing on
14:32
Speaker 1: the touch screen of a phone with my white thumbs
14:35
Speaker 1: is a crime scene of mafia proportions. So I'll spare
14:37
Speaker 1: you anyhow. As we messaged about on Instagram, I'm eagerly
14:40
Speaker 1: looking forward to your episode on Anthony Bourdain and when
14:43
Speaker 1: you recently asked about your favorite episodes, I knew I
14:46
Speaker 1: needed to write you directly. I think one of the
14:48
Speaker 1: trademarks of Bordain in his appeal is he had a
14:51
Speaker 1: way of reintroducing people to things and places they had
14:53
Speaker 1: established ideas about. I could easily say episodes in a
14:56
Speaker 1: variety of international locales and I May Never See You
14:58
Speaker 1: were my favorite for open my eyes to the life
15:01
Speaker 1: I'm unfamiliar with. But I found that is two episodes
15:03
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles memorably hit me. Growing up in a
15:06
Speaker 1: suburb of LA thirty miles south of downtown, the city
15:09
Speaker 1: and all it's sprawl has never been something I feel
15:11
Speaker 1: connected to. I never felt connected to the port Town
15:14
Speaker 1: suburb of San Pedro where I grew up. Either shout
15:17
Speaker 1: out to the minimum that's me doing the shadow, but
15:20
Speaker 1: that is a different story altogether. LA was always talked
15:23
Speaker 1: about as a monolith of sorts, and with a poorly
15:25
Speaker 1: maintained bus system, it was always just out of reach.
15:28
Speaker 1: I'm endlessly grateful for a new perspective on Los Angeles
15:32
Speaker 1: that has helped me appreciate where I'm from rather than
15:35
Speaker 1: outright resented. And I may not ever be a fan
15:37
Speaker 1: of LA, but mister Bourdain conquered my stubbornness, which is
15:40
Speaker 1: something few have succeeded at. Hopefully this makes sense and
15:44
Speaker 1: is even a bit entertaining. Cheers. Hey love this, You're
15:48
Speaker 1: so right. This is why I love Bourdain. This is
15:52
Speaker 1: why I love most of the sort of adventure writers
15:56
Speaker 1: who I've read in the past. It's a weird way
15:59
Speaker 1: of describing them, but you know what I mean. I
16:02
Speaker 1: feel like we're all looking for a different perspective, aren't we.
16:05
Speaker 1: Maybe not all of us, but I am. I don't
16:07
Speaker 1: want to just be coddled in my views. I don't
16:10
Speaker 1: want to just be shown the same thing that I'm
16:13
Speaker 1: known to love over and over again. I want to
16:16
Speaker 1: be challenged and to be totally honest with you. You know,
16:21
Speaker 1: I felt this way about the Boston episode that Boordain did.
16:24
Speaker 1: He showed places that I knew existed, some might even
16:27
Speaker 1: been to before, but showed them in a way that
16:31
Speaker 1: was had a new light, in a new perspective, and
16:34
Speaker 1: sort of reinvigorated my feeling for the city at the time,
16:39
Speaker 1: and definitely for some of those locales. And I'm deep
16:43
Speaker 1: into Bordain at the moment in the research. I'll talk
16:45
Speaker 1: about this later, talk about it maybe in the rap
16:47
Speaker 1: Party episode as well. For those new listeners. That's the
16:49
Speaker 1: other bonus episode we do in our other podcast feed
16:52
Speaker 1: for our other podcasts called bad Lands, which is Hollywood
16:56
Speaker 1: and true crime, not just music and true crime here
16:58
Speaker 1: and Disgrace that. But anyways, appreciate your email. Thank you. Guys.
17:03
Speaker 1: Want to email me Disgrace lamdpod at gmail dot com.

17:10
Speaker 1: You can send me a text as well. Six one

17:28
Speaker 4: A little Disgraceland bad Lands crossover.
17:32
Speaker 2: I'm sure you know and we all know that David
17:35
Speaker 2: Johanson of New York Dolls is in the movie Scrooge.
17:39
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's it.
17:42
Speaker 1: Disco love the crossover, dude. I might play this on
17:45
Speaker 1: the wrap party as well, because you're so right, the
17:50
Speaker 1: David Johansson New York Dolls in the movie Scrooge. And
17:53
Speaker 1: also it's a time to shout out the David Johansson
17:55
Speaker 1: documentary that's on Showtime. It's been planned now Scorsese produced
17:59
Speaker 1: it fantastic. Check that out, David Johansson from The New
18:03
Speaker 1: York Dolls And if any of you have not heard
18:05
Speaker 1: the New York Dolls episode of Disgrace, and it is
18:07
Speaker 1: ready and it is waiting for you. All right, let's
18:10
Speaker 1: hear this message from the four oh two.
18:13
Speaker 3: Hi, Jake calling from the four oh two. I just
18:17
Speaker 3: wanted to leave a message about this week's after party.
18:24
Speaker 3: I am a huge fan. I've been a fan since
18:28
Speaker 3: day one. I'm a disco through and through. I think
18:33
Speaker 3: that you've done a great job with navigating, not offending
18:37
Speaker 3: people and being a little sensitive to the causes that be,
18:43
Speaker 3: whether it be kiddos or women or crossing boundaries of
18:49
Speaker 3: some of the more aggressive crimes. I feel like Diddy completed,
18:53
Speaker 3: uh not completed. I feel like, in my opinion, he
18:58
Speaker 3: is guilty of some of the things that he has done.
19:04
Speaker 3: I graduated in ninety three and I was around different people,
19:10
Speaker 3: and let's just say that, uh, he's not the best guy.
19:14
Speaker 3: So one of the things I just wanted to say
19:17
Speaker 3: is when you worded it as he forcefully denies the allegations,
19:24
Speaker 3: forcefully is not really the best word. Maybe vehemently or
19:29
Speaker 3: what have you. But I'm sure, irregardless for those of
19:34
Speaker 3: us with past trauma, that forcefully denies maybe isn't the
19:42
Speaker 3: best wording. So I know you have the best of intentions.
19:44
Speaker 3: I love you guys over there, the whole staff says everyone.
19:49
Speaker 3: I just wanted to say that I know that you
19:52
Speaker 3: did your best to put the episode out with care,
19:54
Speaker 3: and I will continue to be a fan. And I
19:59
Speaker 3: just think he's he's a bad guy and doesn't deserve
20:04
Speaker 3: any any benefit of the doubt because he is guilty.
20:09
Speaker 3: Thank you, all right?
20:11
Speaker 1: Four oh two point taken. I totally get the difference
20:14
Speaker 1: between forcefully and vehemently in this situation, and appreciate the message.
20:22
Speaker 1: We're going to get more information, more real, more hard information.
20:25
Speaker 1: I don't want to say more real, let's just say
20:29
Speaker 1: more provable, perhaps information on Diddy, And when we do,
20:33
Speaker 1: we will dive back into this story and tell it
20:36
Speaker 1: as fully as we can. Thanks again for listening, Thanks
20:40
Speaker 1: for being open minded, and appreciate the voicemail. All right,
20:44
Speaker 1: let's check out this voicemail from the nine seventy.
20:47
Speaker 2: Three yod Jake, how are you? This is Jerry from Planners.
20:51
Speaker 2: I just heard the episode about the Canadian star the
20:55
Speaker 2: young lady who was killed by the coyotes. Creepy and brutal,
20:59
Speaker 2: but I still have I said something once before about this.
21:02
Speaker 2: I'm going to say it again. There's a great story
21:04
Speaker 2: about a gentleman named Les Harvey. He was in a
21:07
Speaker 2: Scottish rock band called Stone the Crows. The lead singer
21:11
Speaker 2: was Maggie Bell and during a concert, an indoor concert
21:16
Speaker 2: that the audience screwed around with the crowns and stuff
21:19
Speaker 2: like that, the gentlemen walked up to the microphone to
21:23
Speaker 2: do a sound check, and we know that European current
21:26
Speaker 2: is two twenty. He electrocuted himself on stage in front
21:30
Speaker 2: of the audience. That's a great story. Come on, all right,
21:33
Speaker 2: thank you very much.
21:33
Speaker 1: Bye, Hey nine to seven three, Jerry, he's sick, bastard,
21:37
Speaker 1: appreciate the text. Jerry's talking about the story of Taylor Mitchell,
21:41
Speaker 1: which wasn't actually a podcast episode. It was a video
21:44
Speaker 1: that we just did on Instagram. It's only about sixty
21:48
Speaker 1: seconds long and it's the story. We're eventually going to
21:51
Speaker 1: do an episode on it. It's a story of this
21:53
Speaker 1: young woman, a Canadian folk artist, who goes this wasn't
21:57
Speaker 1: too long ago. It was about ten fifteen years ago.
21:58
Speaker 1: Who goes for a walk in a Canadian national forest
22:02
Speaker 1: and she's she's attacked and eaten alive. I'll let you
22:06
Speaker 1: guys find out the rest over at this Grace LAMD pod.
22:10
Speaker 1: There's the story that Jerry's lobbying for here. I don't
22:15
Speaker 1: remember this Jerry. Perhaps you called him before and I'm
22:19
Speaker 1: I'm blanking on it. But this is fascinating and if
22:22
Speaker 1: it doesn't warn a full thirty minute episode, perhaps there's
22:25
Speaker 1: something I can do in video and get that out there.
22:28
Speaker 1: I will look into it. I promise you as someone
22:31
Speaker 1: who has had something very similar happened to him. You know,
22:34
Speaker 1: I've sang in bands my whole life pretty much, and
22:38
Speaker 1: when you're a singer in a band, you get electrocuted.
22:40
Speaker 1: It's just cost of doing business, occupational hazard. It happens,
22:45
Speaker 1: and I remember it was one of those things that
22:47
Speaker 1: would when it would happen to me, it would it
22:49
Speaker 1: would just put me in the absolute worst mood, the
22:55
Speaker 1: worst mood. There's something about the electrocution, the electricity that
23:01
Speaker 1: just it just made me angry and in ornery more
23:05
Speaker 1: so than I was at the time. And I was
23:07
Speaker 1: a pretty angry kid. But I remember once it happened
23:10
Speaker 1: so bad in a studio. There was this old studio
23:12
Speaker 1: that up in Revere, Revere Beach that my buddy Paul
23:16
Speaker 1: Colderi had taken over for a while and he was
23:19
Speaker 1: trying to get it back into shape. And I think
23:21
Speaker 1: it might have been like some like you know, mafia
23:23
Speaker 1: front back in the day when the mafia was really
23:26
Speaker 1: running things up in Revere, was a huge studio, Fleetwood
23:28
Speaker 1: that was the name of it. If it wasn't mafia fronted,
23:32
Speaker 1: then I apologize to anyone who may be involved or
23:35
Speaker 1: may have been involved with Fleetwood pre Paul Colderie. But
23:37
Speaker 1: I remember we were there and and Paul was kind
23:39
Speaker 1: of using myself because I was a friend of his
23:42
Speaker 1: and in my band at the time, as sort of
23:44
Speaker 1: guinea pigs to figure out the kinks in the studio.
23:47
Speaker 1: And we had done this before when he opened Camp Street,
23:49
Speaker 1: which was the old Fort Apache, and we were there,
23:53
Speaker 1: we were recording, and I loved it because there were
23:55
Speaker 1: so many rooms in this place and it was huge,
23:57
Speaker 1: massive live room and and a tonne of old gear,
24:01
Speaker 1: and we were recording in one of the smaller rooms
24:04
Speaker 1: on this night. And I don't even know if Paul
24:06
Speaker 1: was there. It was with our friend Adam, who Adam Taylor,
24:09
Speaker 1: who was engineering for Paul and Adam was involved with
24:12
Speaker 1: this podcast back in the beginning. And I remember I
24:15
Speaker 1: stepped to the mic and Adam will remember this and
24:17
Speaker 1: U my lips hit it and it shocked me so bad.
24:20
Speaker 1: I it was like fucking h you know, Michael J.
24:23
Speaker 1: Fox and back to the future. Like I literally I
24:27
Speaker 1: left the ground and I fell back off my feet,
24:31
Speaker 1: and uh it was brutal. It was scared the hell
24:34
Speaker 1: out of everyone. I was too angry to be scared.
24:38
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I didn't die, thankfully. That did not
24:41
Speaker 1: happen in Europe. It happened in Revere. Uh the uh yeah,
24:46
Speaker 1: North Shore Riviera. Anyways, I'm digressing big time. Six one
24:50
Speaker 1: seven nine six six six three eight. You guys want
24:52
Speaker 1: to leave a voicemail or send me a text. I'll
24:54
Speaker 1: do a couple of texts here real quick. This one
24:56
Speaker 1: from the seven to three. Hey, I needed to just
24:59
Speaker 1: write in and tell you and how much Disgraceland has
25:01
Speaker 1: helped me. I first discovered you in the spring of
25:03
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. My dad lived in Florida and was diagnosed
25:07
Speaker 1: with Alzheimer's disease. I would visit monthly at first, and
25:10
Speaker 1: as he declined, I would go as often as weekly
25:13
Speaker 1: until he passed away on July third, twenty nineteen. Your
25:17
Speaker 1: podcast helped me through the seven hour drive each way
25:20
Speaker 1: from Charleston, South Carolina to his home in Florida. You
25:23
Speaker 1: provided entertainment and distraction during the darkest times of my life.
25:26
Speaker 1: I still listen every time I go on the road
25:28
Speaker 1: trip and recommend you to everyone I know. Thank you,
25:31
Speaker 1: Jake Love A huge fan, Jennifer, Jennifer, thank you so much.
25:37
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say. This makes me,
25:39
Speaker 1: It makes me very grateful and humbled to hear you
25:43
Speaker 1: say this, and yeah, I hope you're doing well. I
25:47
Speaker 1: hope you're set up for a good holiday season here.
25:49
Speaker 1: I'm sad to hear about the passing of your dad,
25:51
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that we here at Double Elvis were
25:54
Speaker 1: able to provide some sort of distraction or comfort. All right,
25:59
Speaker 1: guys On seven nine oh six six six, three eight
26:04
Speaker 1: text or voicemail this one from the three to one,
26:07
Speaker 1: Oh What's up? Jake and the Jans after party in
26:10
Speaker 1: the bonus episode. After the Jans Addiction full episode, you
26:12
Speaker 1: were talking about how you like some of the more
26:15
Speaker 1: obscure suggestions for band content, Like you, my music tastes
26:18
Speaker 1: are all over. Back when grunge was coming on the scene,
26:21
Speaker 1: I lived in Seattle and I was not a fan,
26:23
Speaker 1: and I generally still am not. But what about an
26:26
Speaker 1: episode on Mother Lovebone in Temple of the Dog. Lots
26:29
Speaker 1: of guys from those lineups went on to form some
26:31
Speaker 1: of the biggest bands of the era. Reminds me of
26:33
Speaker 1: what was happening in LA in the late seventies and
26:35
Speaker 1: early eighties when some collabs led to bands like Guns n' Roses,
26:37
Speaker 1: et cetera. Just a thought, and yeah, man, I did
26:40
Speaker 1: combine in the feeds so much crossover content to explore
26:45
Speaker 1: rock a rolla from Ryan out in the three to one. Oh,
26:48
Speaker 1: We're definitely gonna do a Mother Love Bone. I do
26:50
Speaker 1: you know what? You're right? There's so much Seattle stuff.
26:54
Speaker 1: There's the Andrew Woods stuff, there's Chris Cornell, there's Lane Staley.
27:00
Speaker 1: Almost don't even know how to organize my thoughts around it,
27:02
Speaker 1: but we are going to do it at some point,
27:04
Speaker 1: and I want to try to get away without making
27:06
Speaker 1: a whole other series here and just do a couple
27:08
Speaker 1: of great episodes for you guys. Six one seven nine
27:11
Speaker 1: oh six six six three eight, Hit me up, what
27:12
Speaker 1: do you want to hear? What do you want in
27:14
Speaker 1: the new year? What episodes do you want? Text me voicemail?
27:17
Speaker 1: Take quick break back in flash. All right, we are
27:34
Speaker 1: back in. This is the recommendations part, the part of
27:37
Speaker 1: the show we recommend the things they need recommending the
27:40
Speaker 1: recommendations part. Here in the after Party, we're talking music mainly.
27:43
Speaker 1: Those are the types of recommendations we do. We save
27:44
Speaker 1: the movie content for over in the Rap Party Bonus episode, unless,
27:49
Speaker 1: of course, it is a music related movie. And I
27:53
Speaker 1: am not prepared to talk about any music related movies
27:56
Speaker 1: right now, because my, my, my brim, I'm full. I'm
28:01
Speaker 1: totally filled up here with what I'm watching, and I'm
28:04
Speaker 1: not going to get into it here. But I have
28:05
Speaker 1: been listening to a lot of stuff, and I've been
28:08
Speaker 1: trying to organize my thoughts on my favorite Christmas music,
28:13
Speaker 1: and it's fucking hard because I love Christmas music and
28:17
Speaker 1: I know you guys do too. Based on the insane
28:20
Speaker 1: engagement we're seeing over on the Disgraceland Instagram page right now.
28:25
Speaker 1: The video specifically about the Mariah Carey song All I
28:30
Speaker 1: Want for Christmas Is You, it being the highest selling,
28:33
Speaker 1: most successful Christmas song of all time. I asked you, guys,
28:36
Speaker 1: is it your favorite? And I'm getting inundated with your
28:39
Speaker 1: favorite so many of them, So I thought, what are
28:43
Speaker 1: my favorites? And I've been thinking about it all week?
28:45
Speaker 1: And it's damn hard to answer. Okay, just generally speaking,
28:51
Speaker 1: as fucking basic as it is, I have to say
28:55
Speaker 1: that the Vince Giraldi stuff just I mean, it's like
29:00
Speaker 1: I put the turkey away on Thanksgiving night and I
29:03
Speaker 1: just reach for that album. It's like the first one
29:05
Speaker 1: to get me in the spirit. But then, if I'm
29:09
Speaker 1: actually being honest with myself, once that wears off, once
29:12
Speaker 1: I'm through the Charlie Brown Melancholy and I'm just in
29:15
Speaker 1: the spirit and I'm sitting up late at night and
29:18
Speaker 1: I'm cozy with my stereo and my glass of bourbon.
29:22
Speaker 1: The thing I almost always go to more often than
29:25
Speaker 1: not is the Ella Fitzgerald Swinging Christmas Album. It's actually
29:30
Speaker 1: not called the Swinging Christmas album. It's called a Swinging
29:35
Speaker 1: Christmas and Ella Fitzgerald has a lot of Christmas content
29:38
Speaker 1: out there, so don't get it twisted. It's this record, specifically,
29:41
Speaker 1: a swinging Christmas with Ella Fitzgerald. You cannot go wrong. Okay.
29:48
Speaker 1: The other thing I need to talk about here the
29:50
Speaker 1: Dean Martin Christmas album. Again, another guy with a ton
29:54
Speaker 1: of Christmas content out there, but his version of Blue
29:57
Speaker 1: Christmas on this record. I'm gonna say something here that
30:01
Speaker 1: no one's going to agree with me on. It's better
30:03
Speaker 1: than Elvis's version. And I guarantee you if you asked
30:07
Speaker 1: Elvis Presley if it was better, he would agree with me.
30:10
Speaker 1: It's unbelievably cool Dean Martin. I don't know how he
30:14
Speaker 1: did it. He was one of these guys who was
30:15
Speaker 1: from that incredibly you know, at the time uncool generation,
30:20
Speaker 1: the World War two generation, which was extremely uncool to
30:24
Speaker 1: the you know, to the boomers, the sixties, the hippies,
30:27
Speaker 1: all that. But he survived all that through the rap
30:31
Speaker 1: pack years with Frank Sinatra. But even even though that
30:35
Speaker 1: stuff was for another generation, Dean kind of had this
30:37
Speaker 1: coolness that I feel like just it it transcended. Maybe
30:43
Speaker 1: it didn't. Maybe I'm projecting how cool I think Dean
30:46
Speaker 1: Martin is with this opinion, but I don't know.
30:50
Speaker 2: Man.
30:50
Speaker 1: Listen to the vocal on Blue Christmas, his version of it,
30:53
Speaker 1: and again he's probably got multiple versions of it. I'm
30:55
Speaker 1: talking about the version on the Dean Martin Christmas album
30:59
Speaker 1: Beyond Cool, also Christmas Baby, Please Come Home, the Darlene
31:03
Speaker 1: Love Phil Spector produced Darlene Love Unbelievable all the Letterman.
31:09
Speaker 1: I went through a fucking I want into a rabbit
31:11
Speaker 1: hole on Instagram on stories and posted a bunch of
31:14
Speaker 1: her performances from Letterman doing that song. He would have
31:18
Speaker 1: her back most every year. Uh, just fantastic. That might
31:23
Speaker 1: be my favorite, but my real favorite, my real favorite,
31:28
Speaker 1: I think my favorite of all time right now is this.
31:31
Speaker 4: Song every Day will be Like Holiday?
31:53
Speaker 1: Oh killing me? William Bell. Every Day will be Like
32:05
Speaker 1: a Holiday by William Bell. Okay, apologies for the shitty
32:08
Speaker 1: sound quality. That's literally me holding my phone up to
32:11
Speaker 1: the microphone in my closet studio here, all right, But
32:16
Speaker 1: that song every Day will be Like a Holiday by
32:18
Speaker 1: William Bell. Again, there are multiple versions of this, but
32:21
Speaker 1: it is the William Bell version that is the best,
32:24
Speaker 1: and I think he only has one and just to
32:26
Speaker 1: be shit sure. I'm going to tell you what record
32:28
Speaker 1: it's on. It's on an album called the Very Best
32:32
Speaker 1: of William Bell. So there you go. William Bell Stax guy,
32:35
Speaker 1: I think, yes, Stax Records, and you can kind of
32:36
Speaker 1: hear it in the horns. There just a great, great,
32:39
Speaker 1: great song. So there are a few of my faves.
32:43
Speaker 1: I could go on and on and on. I want
32:45
Speaker 1: to tell you a little bit about White Christmas though. Okay,
32:49
Speaker 1: I'm dreaming. You know, the Irving Berlin one, the one
32:51
Speaker 1: that Bing Crosby had the massive hit with. That song
32:55
Speaker 1: is not what you think it is. And I'm gonna
32:56
Speaker 1: tell you what that song is, but I'm gonna do
32:58
Speaker 1: it in video form, and I'm gonna do it on
32:59
Speaker 1: inst at this grace lampod. By the time you hear this,
33:02
Speaker 1: it's probably going to be up. And it's an incredible story.
33:05
Speaker 1: It's incredibly dark, and I think you're gonna dig it.
33:09
Speaker 1: So search that out all right, six one seven nine
33:11
Speaker 1: oh six six six three eight Hit me back. Let
33:14
Speaker 1: me know how your Christmas is were, what you did
33:16
Speaker 1: to celebrate, where you went, what you listened to when
33:19
Speaker 1: you traveled to wherever it was you were going all right,
33:23
Speaker 1: I want to know, did you listen to the new
33:24
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey episode? Did you listen to the rewind Derek
33:27
Speaker 1: and the Dominoes episode. We originally released this one. We
33:30
Speaker 1: intentionally did this on December fourteenth, twenty twenty one, as
33:34
Speaker 1: part of season eight. It was intentionally done as a
33:36
Speaker 1: Christmas episode. You're going to hear that when you listen
33:38
Speaker 1: to it. As I mentioned earlier, it's a dark one,
33:42
Speaker 1: not just because of the tragedy the band's drummer Jim
33:44
Speaker 1: Gordon or the cocaine addiction of Eric Clapton. By the way,
33:47
Speaker 1: Eric Clapton, I like Eric Clapton. I don't love Eric
33:51
Speaker 1: Clapton and the stuff I love. Actually at there's parts
33:56
Speaker 1: I do love about Eric Clapton. The things I love
33:57
Speaker 1: about Eric Clapton, I think are the things that most
33:59
Speaker 1: people hate about Eric Clapton. I like Eric Clapton when
34:02
Speaker 1: he's making like pop songs. I don't like Eric Clapton
34:05
Speaker 1: when he's fucking whining over George Harrison's wife and you
34:09
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, come on, dude, it just
34:11
Speaker 1: it got so dark with that dude, and later I
34:15
Speaker 1: got it. I mean, you know, you lose a kid.
34:17
Speaker 1: All I hear, I hear you. I have a lot
34:19
Speaker 1: of respect for Eric Clapton in a lot of different ways,
34:22
Speaker 1: but so much of the things that the whole Clapton
34:25
Speaker 1: is god thing that was never my thing. I'm not
34:27
Speaker 1: not into that, all right. But anyways, this episode about
34:31
Speaker 1: Eric Clapton, about Derek and the Dominoes, is also about
34:35
Speaker 1: the murder of the Lawson family in Germantown, North Carolina,
34:38
Speaker 1: which happened at Christmas back in nineteen twenty nine. And
34:42
Speaker 1: you might be saying, what the hell does any of
34:44
Speaker 1: that have to do with Eric Clapton. We can just
34:45
Speaker 1: get to listen to the episode, okay, and this is
34:48
Speaker 1: one of the best produced disgrace Land episodes ever. You're
34:52
Speaker 1: gonna be on the edge of your seat right where
34:54
Speaker 1: we intended to put you. Six one seven nine oh
34:56
Speaker 1: six six six three eight. Leave me a voicemail, semi
34:59
Speaker 1: tech so let me know what you think. I'm gonna
35:01
