Amigo the Devil · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:33
It's deprogram the podcaster. We try to get you into a band.
0:36
That's right. An artist that's right.
0:40
More on that in a moment today, we're talking about Amigo.
0:43
The devil, I've got nothing clever, because the devil, I
0:48
don't know man. Like they're not all winners,
0:51
it's times. Sometimes it's 11:00 in the
0:55
morning and you know, you do it, you do what you can to get
0:58
moving. Um, so a few months back,
1:00
Christina, you you and I were having a discussion about, you
1:04
know, music as we do and you said, hey, if you ever need a
1:09
quick turnaround, Amigo, the devil.
1:12
So talk to me more about Amigo. The depth because it's clearly
1:15
not just because it's a quick turnaround.
1:19
No, Amigo. The Devil is a an artist one guy
1:25
in the same way that shaky Graves is one guy but will
1:28
travel with a band or has a band play on on records.
1:33
But when I saw him, he had a full band which was amazing.
1:37
But with Amigo, you have no idea what you're going to get, but
1:42
you always know it's Amigo. So it's one of those bands.
1:46
Were you artists where you can be listening to NG to a playlist
1:50
that has a bunch of different artists.
1:51
And every time one of his songs comes on, it's not.
1:54
Is this Amigo? The devil?
1:55
It's, this is let me go the devil.
1:57
It's like no matter if it's a slow song, a fast song kind of a
2:02
haunting song there also. So him and that's what makes
2:07
this really hard but Amigo, the devil is one of those those
2:12
artists that you see live. And it just changes everything.
2:18
I mean, this group, like, like I say, to Justin for this only has
2:22
three hundred and twenty-five thousand monthly listeners on
2:24
Spotify, which is Criminal. But the I think what makes
2:33
Amigo, the devil perfect for this specifically, is that there
2:37
is no wrong answer, there's no wrong answer.
2:41
So, every song that we bring up, is something that someone can
2:44
pick up and listen to And hopefully enjoy the hell out of.
2:48
It's the most eclectic music out of one person.
2:50
I've heard in a very long time. So swing it over to shut like
2:55
about a month ago. I think I must have come off.
2:59
An episode was shot with Sean with Joe and you message me and
3:05
said, hey here, Amigo. The devil is on your list, me
3:09
please. Yeah, yeah.
3:12
That's what happened. Joe mentioned me.
3:15
Sent me a message and just said, hey deprogramming of the devil.
3:17
That's all it said. And I was like, wow, so I was
3:21
ready to fight if You already picked people but I would you
3:25
know, take somebody out, take their spot.
3:27
You know that as one does is a human wrestling, but I found a
3:32
me of the devil several years ago.
3:34
Thanks to a friend of mine who did introduce me to them Kim and
3:38
Immediately was just enamored with the music.
3:44
He has Just completely broke open for me.
3:49
The genre of like folk music because it's I I love when I
3:55
found out that the description people used for him, was murder
3:57
folk. Yeah.
3:59
Because it's, it's, this summer have songs have this weird poppy
4:04
bounce to them and they sound happy.
4:07
They even sound romantic sometimes, but they are
4:09
absolutely anything but that and some of them are romantic in a
4:13
very Twisted way, to be honest, but But he just the kind of the
4:18
Clash of those two ideas made it made, it just works.
4:21
So well for me, and I've always been somebody who's been into
4:24
True Crime, the McCobb, you know, the store flight, stuff
4:27
like that. So the style just jumped right
4:29
out at me and his lyrics. And I did enjoy that.
4:32
If you, if you pay attention to some of the songs, they're even
4:36
darker than you think they are when you really piece together,
4:39
some of the lyrics and then I saw, I also saw him live but I
4:44
saw him live about six months ago or so.
4:46
Like that at the Norbit year and it was one of the best concerts
4:51
I've ever been to. It was just him and his band and
4:54
it was fairly low band. Oh, yes, full band.
4:58
And it was fantastic for so many reasons.
5:00
I mean, he executed everything beautifully was like listening
5:03
to the album almost. But and at which you see I'm
5:06
going to give them a little uh props here because it's even
5:08
more impressive that his his inner ear monitors weren't
5:11
working. Oh.
5:12
So he had nothing in his ears to try and keep track of like you
5:15
know, the timing were Or is his own voice and he still nailed
5:19
everything. And I also appreciate the fact
5:22
that you could see the staff, they're working like crazy
5:24
trying to get it working. And he on more than one
5:26
occasion, made a point of stopping the show to point out
5:30
how hard they were working. And and that he wasn't angry
5:33
about it or anything like that. So it's just cool that he
5:37
commented took that on himself to make sure they understood
5:39
that he wasn't, you know, going to throw a fit or, you know,
5:42
this wasn't this wasn't a deal-breaker.
5:44
He was still going to have a great show.
5:47
And he the stories, he tells with the songs, God in addition
5:51
to the stories in the songs is just it makes them even better
5:54
because then I learned things I didn't know about.
5:57
So let's just talk about those when Jack has come up.
6:00
Yeah. That's just oh man.
6:04
I couldn't I couldn't tell you enough of the good things.
6:06
Letting me go to devil and I have slowly but surely tried to
6:09
turn everybody. I know into an Amigo the devil
6:11
fan. Literally everybody.
6:13
It's the only band I tell every single person I know about Yep.
6:17
Agreed agreed. So obviously this is, this is an
6:21
artist that, you know, I want to say the very furthest of, of my
6:28
/, if like, way far /, if like, I recall, hearing the name,
6:32
Amigo. The devil over the years and I
6:36
assumed, I don't know why, not necessarily metal band, but
6:41
like, Like something like that. I don't know why.
6:45
I didn't think. Oh, I artist.
6:48
Oh kind of Western feel. Oh, kind of ICP feel like I
6:53
didn't. I didn't expect what I got,
6:58
right? Yes, let's yes, very cool that
7:02
that I don't again. I don't know why I thought metal
7:07
band maybe just because from where I was hearing it from
7:12
maybe I can see But so like as I'm listening, I'll say this
7:17
because somehow this hasn't come up yet his voice like sometimes
7:22
like it's so dull sit like I'm like oh yeah I get it.
7:25
This this is why Sean likes it too like what a voice and then
7:30
like I know Tina's a lyrics person so I'm like oh God.
7:34
Like okay like There was no dissection here.
7:38
Like I knew why the panel, why you two are here.
7:41
Like I love when an artist can do that.
7:44
Like when we're doing this like I can tell why you like why you
7:50
like it. So you know this will just be
7:54
like a chance to pour some love on a guy who clearly is not
7:57
getting his Just Desserts yet certain clothes.
8:02
Not even close. Yeah so this isn't like a very
8:05
deep Skog. And I'm glad Christina pointed
8:09
out that there's no wrong answers because that was very
8:12
much how I felt yes, like, yeah, it feels like a cop-out whenever
8:17
I say it, but like, I really could have shifted everything
8:21
around. So so talk to me about again,
8:24
like this is what 39 I think. So we only get 15 each.
8:28
How did you go about putting your list together for this
8:30
Tina? Well, you guys saw my group chat
8:34
last night. No, no.
8:36
I have to tell the whole world about this.
8:38
I was shooting pool at the pool hall last night, and the two
8:44
people, I was shooting pool with our my partner, Adam and are
8:47
really good friend. Andrew and they both saw Amigo.
8:51
The devil with me back in October, and I wrote down
8:56
because I screenshot it all the songs.
8:58
As I was listening to them, I didn't need to listen to this.
9:00
I knew what I was going to do. Do for my first pass but like,
9:04
wrote them all down on bar napkins and then started my top
9:09
15 and I got to 10 and I was like these last five.
9:13
I have to cut 10 to cut Ted so I had 25 on my first pass and I
9:19
had to cut 10. So out of 15 songs that I left,
9:23
I had to cut 10 of them and it was very hard.
9:27
Like I said, you guys, before we hit play, I caught my last one
9:31
right before I jumped on because I was Going back and forth about
9:39
whether I put this last one, number 15 in.
9:42
But it's in because I want to tell the story about the live
9:45
show and how that song specifically was such a huge
9:49
part of the show. And I think really like
9:52
encapsulates a lot of the storytelling with Amigo the
9:57
devil and I think that's maybe how I approached my list instead
10:00
of it being Musical. For me, I think it was more
10:04
storytelling this time even though there are some like
10:07
musical choices that I did, kind of allow to bump some other
10:12
songs a little higher for me. 100% Amigo, the devil's shows
10:17
and songs in general are all based around this performance
10:22
and even the way the songs are performed on the record is
10:24
dependent on what lyrics he's singing.
10:28
And so for me this is a perfect artist for me to do because
10:32
lyrics are Are so so important to me music but that's why it
10:35
was so hard for me. I think is to decide which
10:37
stories? I wanted to talk about Sean.
10:42
You, you kind of were walking through it a little bit before
10:46
we came on. What was your thought process
10:49
here? As you're putting your list
10:51
together? I so I have just because I most
10:58
people out there probably don't know this, I've been singing in
10:59
bands for years and in a couple of the I've actually done some
11:04
Amigo. The devil songs, which by the
11:06
way, even though nobody knew who they were, when I did them, they
11:09
always got a positive reaction. So again this guy deserves more
11:12
love and yet so I already had kind of a fair number that I was
11:19
like these are songs that resonate with me.
11:21
I chose them to perform, you know, for people who had no idea
11:24
who he was and there's some of some of the songs that I chose.
11:31
Some of them were just some of them are just good songs but the
11:34
ones that really meant something to me were the ones that grabbed
11:37
me either emotionally with, with the the topic or where it was,
11:43
one of those ones like I explained where when you dive
11:45
into the lyrics, it is a lot darker than you think it is.
11:47
It's like it's kind of a layered song in that way.
11:51
And so those ones just jumped out at me.
11:53
I mean my first pass I still had not not quite 25, but probably
11:58
around twenty one or two. And when I looked at the five or
12:02
six that were still on there that I needed to eliminate, I
12:06
don't know, for me, it and this was just my personal style, was
12:09
much easier for me to look at those five or six.
12:11
And go, if I was right now and going to play me go, the devil
12:14
for somebody or these one of the songs, I'm choosing.
12:17
And I would tell myself no because I would choose any of
12:20
these other ones listed up listed otherwise.
12:22
And to me that was the Breakaway point.
12:24
Is if I'm trying to explain to me the devil to somebody which
12:27
is kind of the point of this whole podcast.
12:30
I think that these ones, encapsulate him, the best, you
12:33
know because some of them sell them do kind of sound.
12:39
I don't want to say like everybody else because that's
12:41
not what it is, but they're less aggressively Amigo if that makes
12:47
sense. Yes.
12:50
So those were the ones that ended up seeing The Cutting Room
12:53
floor and I got left with the ones that I felt like I could
12:56
put on and be like, nope, this is exactly who you're getting.
12:59
Similarly. I like that as I was going
13:02
through my mind. I'm like, okay, so this is this
13:06
is Amiga. This this is the Since I'm
13:08
getting, I went with that a lot like this is the sense I'm
13:11
getting as opposed to, there was a bunch of songs that I just
13:17
loved and like, I'm, I'm dropping them off my list and
13:20
going, I feel like I'm wrong. I feel like this is very bad,
13:25
but like, I always are towards the side of when I listened to
13:31
the song. I could easily go.
13:34
That's Amigo. And If like you said Sean, like
13:40
if if I I'm going back to back song, A doesn't do that for me,
13:45
then. I hesitate to say easy to cut,
13:49
but easier to cut. Yeah, yeah, I agree that, that
13:54
was the way I approached it, but to Tina's point, it does not
13:59
feel like they're it really never felt like there was wrong
14:02
answers. Like as I'm going through it, it
14:05
never felt like, it never felt like well this one doesn't stand
14:09
a chance, it never felt like that way.
14:12
It was really just a lot of based on on a sense.
14:16
So that could that could totally throw this next layer off, Tina
14:22
based on everything we've said so far, how many do you think
14:26
will get through for unanimously for the final say?
14:31
Hi, you're a wild card. If, if you were not here, I
14:40
would say 10. Hmm, I think that's probably
14:43
accurate because I think that seeing Amigo live, absolutely
14:47
changes your perception. And a lot of the songs that I
14:51
picked were so very much him. In that way, we're like when he
15:00
played them live, it Like I couldn't on here that version
15:04
and it made me want to tell every single person listen to
15:07
this song. So I think that you might be the
15:10
one that we miss on this but I hope not because I think they're
15:14
a good chunk of songs that are just so quintessential to Amigo
15:17
that I'm going to swing for the fences and I'm going to say six.
15:22
Yeah. What do you think Sean?
15:26
Well, because of the the as you point out I kind of The Limited
15:29
discography. I thought that we stood a better
15:33
chance, maybe the normal above the other ones I've been on of
15:37
getting a fairly decent number together.
15:43
You know what's funny is, I didn't think it was outside the
15:45
realm of possibility that we were going to get, like seven.
15:49
Yeah. Just just because I feel like
15:52
there's so many that, like we said before that, I feel like
15:54
there's several better. Just, this is a me go and I, in
15:58
my mind, anyway, there's no way everybody doesn't have this on
16:00
their list somewhere, but I could be wrong.
16:03
I could actually be wrong and you know what's funny as much as
16:06
Tina and I both love Amigo. You know, we're two were two
16:10
different people, we've never met before and It's entirely
16:13
possible that that love comes from different parts of our
16:16
brain and that leads us towards different.
16:19
You know, you never know but I do feel like there's some that
16:22
just stand above and I'm hoping that everybody agrees on those
16:26
particular ones. So I don't have to, you know,
16:28
leave my podcast. Alright.
16:31
So six and seven so now like do I go Ultra positive because you
16:36
guys have left me? The the high high end of the
16:39
spectrum or you go super Negative Nancy.
16:42
Right. Oh hey nobody likes a Debbie
16:47
Downer Justin. Well honey dios mio.
16:52
Um well you know what we're talking we're talking about
16:58
swinging for the fences. I'm going to go 99.
17:03
What's the most that one panels gotten 13?
17:07
Oh my God. It and you had to cut them.
17:09
Yes, we had to cut. We had a unanimous songs from
17:12
what what panel was that that was?
17:14
AJ, are surprisingly not did not listen to that one?
17:18
Sorry. I don't want every absolute
17:20
single episode. Okay, neither do.
17:22
I can't, listen, I can't listen to them all neither, can I?
17:25
So we're gonna take a quick pause, and when we come back,
17:29
we're going to play the game Jack.

18:14
The name of the game is deprogrammed, the three of us
18:17
have combed through the Amiga, the devil discography, and
18:20
plucked out 15 songs that we're now going to mesh together in an
18:24
attempt to create a top 10 circuit for you.
18:26
In case you have never given a meal, the devil, the chanson.
18:31
How dare you? That is why we're here.
18:33
We're going to fix that for you. I'd be remiss if I didn't start
18:37
here because How many times have I said song?
18:41
One album, one, tell me exactly what you are, and I'll get it.
18:46
And I got so excited, hearing this going.
18:51
Not only is this not some, some metal band that I have just
18:54
never given the time of day. This is like this is there's
18:58
like some Western here. There's some banjo, there's the
19:00
it's it's all over the place. Helen you Obviously, yes.
19:07
Okay. You know what?
19:08
That was. Number one on my list.
19:09
So, there we go sheet. It's on two albums.
19:16
So it's on the first album and on the second album, right?
19:19
So, when we make the Spotify list, put the one off the first
19:22
album because exactly mind to. Yep.
19:25
Yeah. Put the track one album.
19:27
One. Instead of the one off of
19:29
everything is fine. I think that one is.
19:31
It's John tear. Yeah.
19:33
Right. Right.
19:35
Let me get it. It's just for my money is a it's
19:39
a better version of the song. I it sounded like he tried to
19:43
improve upon what he did in the second album and I don't think
19:47
he quite got it. I think you can tell you can
19:49
even touch something too much. Just a little opening riff
19:58
there, just immediately. I was like, oh okay.
20:05
And then you get storytelling elements, you get it.
20:08
You hear his voice. You you get everything, you get
20:11
everything you want and hope for.
20:15
I love the shitty things we do together.
20:17
That's right. So far so good.
20:27
That's going to be a my head. Welcome.
20:31
All right. I got it just because she just
20:33
his team is said that I want to bring up a line that I love it
20:35
at 2, which is where he says, but I want to be where all the
20:38
stupid shit I say, sounds, so, romantic and true.
20:42
I love that line. All right, Tina where you want
20:45
to go? so, I'm going to start with how
20:51
Amigo the devil started at the show and the song ends with the
20:57
crowd all singing, The Final chorus one last time with the
21:00
lyric, Will laugh a little drink, a little.
21:03
See What You're Made Of. I'm capable of you disappear.
21:06
I'm the agent that decides your fate and then you stopped
21:09
singing. He owes you guys are kind of
21:10
fucked up. I'm going Dahmer, does Hollywood
21:16
Indeed. Yep, it's on my list, too.
21:22
If any of you guys didn't have that, that's where I would have
21:24
left. That was number one on my list
21:26
for a reason because he literally like, does this whole
21:29
song that he wrote, and then tells the whole crowd that
21:32
they're fucked up. It does it there are moments
21:36
here where that's why I made the ICP comparison is like you
21:41
never. You never get the sense that
21:43
like he's speaking from or singing from these are things I
21:48
want to do. Like, it's always like it always
21:52
feels like a story which given the content of these songs like
22:00
it's easy to jump to the conclusion.
22:02
Oh well this guy just wants to kill people, right?
22:04
Like, same thing with ICP, like the fact that I never got that
22:09
with some of the, some of this lyrical content.
22:14
It says something to me. Yeah, he does a great job of
22:18
portraying it as exactly what we said, a story that it's about
22:23
somebody else, not him. And I mean, especially in ones
22:27
like this, where it's fairly obvious.
22:29
He's singing about somebody else because it's an actual person,
22:32
but there are other ones that are more Twisted and don't have
22:35
that same obvious connection even though some of them do have
22:38
a real-life connection but you know, he'll be the first one to
22:40
tell you that he's singing about kind of the darker reaches of
22:43
the human mind and the terrible things that some people are
22:46
capable of, you know, not him. But at least we hope.
22:52
Yes he does. Look like a big old bear though.
22:55
I'd love to hug him. Yeah.
22:58
All right, Sean where you want to go?
22:59
First, I'm going to go with the next one on my list.
23:04
As you may help Helen you right off the bat.
23:06
This is one of the songs that I got that I've performed live
23:09
that and that's one of the reasons that it means so much to
23:11
me and watching the crowd reactions to it for a song.
23:14
They don't know. You can go from T goes from this
23:18
very Lake use of dulcet. Very pretty singing voice in the
23:21
beginning of it too. This Gravely aggressive and the
23:27
end even the music which is uncharacteristic for him kicks
23:29
up and kind of gets heavier for a lack of a better term.
23:32
More intense is probably way to put it if I'm crazy.
23:37
Hell yes, that's my first mess. Well, it was a good show Justin
23:44
where you were even listening to it when I popped on that base.
23:50
Intro is so good. Do do You're Gonna Love It Rise?
23:55
If I disappoint you? Yep.
23:59
So good. Sorry, I'm a goddamn mess for
24:02
you to clean up but I like it. Yep.
24:05
Well, if I'm crazy great, if I'm crazy as one of his aides for
24:09
me. It'll always wanted his best
24:10
songs so good. Yeah.
24:13
Now I feel bad. You should be sorry.
24:15
You sure it's okay. We are the Wild Card here.
24:18
Yeah, we did. We did.
24:19
Yeah, that was stated. You are the wild card, but Okay,
24:24
background to me, huh? Yep.
24:27
See if I can redeem yourself do some Redemption here.
24:36
Okay. Yeah, this I mean it's in the
24:40
title like this. This is a Vibe.
24:44
I got throughout the entire thing.
24:47
Another man's grave. Yeah, it's on my list.
24:50
Yep. Absolutely.
24:51
Right. And boy, when you, when you
24:53
listen to it, What if you can't relate to that song you know and
24:58
about your own personal sense of identity you know?
25:01
Yeah. I do love like how easily these
25:12
movies could be like in a modern type of Western type like
25:18
they're so easily like easily. I keep getting like not miss
25:22
like if they made Modern Spaghetti Westerns like I don't
25:26
know man. Like it's I can I can imagine
25:31
like after The Showdown, you know, or or even leading up to
25:35
the show to II. Don't know, man.
25:37
Like I Got a lot of a lot of Showdown Vibes, listening
25:42
listening to him. You go, right?
25:44
Yeah, there's a really clever line in this song, The, I open
25:49
my eyes in the room is still spinning.
25:51
I joke about buying a vowel, I love that.
25:57
Oh, that's a good song. I know and it's so beautiful but
26:02
also so sad at the same time. Hmm, beautiful.
26:06
Where's voice? Gets like more Gravely and that
26:08
second verse, Oh, without a doubt.
26:11
Yes. And and the lyrics match that to
26:13
like, that's the best thing is that he doesn't just get more.
26:16
His voice doesn't take on that aggressive tone for no reason.
26:18
He doesn't do it. Just for effect, he does it
26:20
because the lyrics are building that way.
26:25
Beautiful. Add Perfect.
26:29
All right, Tina. So, I have an Amigo, the devil
26:35
t-shirt that says, any of the devil sappy songs and
26:39
sing-alongs. So you get one or the other and
26:45
one of his songs. It's also at the top of my list,
26:47
that is very much. A sing-along is also one of my
26:52
favorite songs, because it's just so cleverly, written
26:55
hungover in Jonestown. What a good one.
26:59
Again about something awful but still a good song.
27:02
Did you have a Justin? I do.
27:04
Well, yeah, I have left three times already.
27:11
Yeah. Literally like the very like the
27:13
whole end is life is a joke and death is the punch line.
27:18
I love that line so much and that whole thing is such a huge
27:21
thing along at his shows, but yeah.
27:27
I'm the cross and you are the Christ.
27:29
Yep, one of the lines. Like that.
27:38
I see. I had faith in us.
27:41
All right. Where you want to go Shawn?
27:44
All right. Well, I'll go with my next one
27:46
that again, I'm going to stick with Tina's Vibe here, the
27:48
singalong. And to show when he did this one
27:51
live, and it was a huge sing along in the energy in the place
27:54
picked up. And I one of my favorite things
27:57
about this song is that this is one of his songs that sounds
28:00
more menacing but it's actually completely innocent murder at
28:03
the bingo hall. Hell yes I don't it was that was
28:09
Number 16. I don't have a reason I loved it
28:12
and it hurt. And okay.
28:16
My note, my note just says an absolute top to bottom
28:19
performance. Yes, 100%.
28:22
And it's the most innocuous of subjects.
28:25
Yeah. It's literally about playing
28:27
bingo. Yes, you're expecting it to
28:28
twist and be something different because that's what happens in
28:31
so many of his songs, but it's not.
28:33
This one's the one that sounds aggressive and dark and it's
28:36
just about playing Bingo and like when the whole Out, shouts,
28:40
bingo with him. Oh my, yes.
28:42
Yes. What would you call the cops?
28:45
I'm killing it. Oh, good.
28:48
Yeah. Sounds like something that
28:50
probably would have suede if I had been able to see him before
28:53
doing this agreed. I think so without a doubt
28:56
because that that was real. I mean, I like the song before,
28:58
but that made me fall in love with the song.
29:00
So I think that's a fair point. If you in the recording, the
29:03
performance is there, right? Like you have those like little
29:06
Whispers And then the that big Crescendo and like even when
29:11
he's like, okay now we have to be real quiet and he sings it
29:13
real quiet-like. It is a performance on the album
29:17
but the way that energy comes through live is so different.
29:21
Yeah, I agree. I feel like I've let down Sean
29:25
twice already, so that's okay. I'm used to it.
29:28
I am not from you, not from you but I am nothing but a letdown.
29:35
Okay, just throw darts here. How about stronger than dead?
29:45
No, really dead. Oh, I have that one.
29:47
It's Gotta to got it too. Hey, I understand why it was one
29:52
of that was I told you guys to the beginning on my list like
29:55
there's a few of them that had to make it and then the rest of
29:57
my list was like these are the ones I just went with and and I
30:00
hope somebody else has them on their list.
30:03
Yeah and that was, that was one of them makes sense, but I mean,
30:11
it's a good song. And again, I saw him.
30:15
This one live, which is one of the reasons I actually, before
30:17
I'd see them at live, do it live.
30:18
I wasn't huge on it. I liked it because I don't
30:23
dislike any of his songs but though though just the I don't
30:30
know seeing him do it live. And again, he had so much energy
30:33
to be songs that maybe it made me bias for some of them.
30:35
Yeah, you know, I mean, he's got lines in this one that says that
30:40
I'll carry this. Wait till I die, this body is a
30:42
bag that collects every hour as it passes by Like I just I don't
30:47
know it's by loved it so much again, it's that McCobb.
30:49
Kind of almost nihilistic point of view but all right.
30:54
Tina. this one's another one that's like, Really dark.
31:06
They, but the way it's performed is so good.
31:12
And in the live show is like, talking about this song and he's
31:17
like, well, the moral of this story is don't fucking touch
31:21
kids. Yes, I'm going with drop for
31:25
every hour. Yes.
31:29
Oh dude from Justin nice. Seriously it's such a good song.
31:38
Intro to it. It's very it makes it feel very
31:45
visceral. Yes because he's talking about
31:48
chopping up a pedophile. I mean really with all its do
31:51
with all intensive purposes. There's like two or three songs
31:53
on that album in a row that are all basically about Albert Fish.
31:57
Shhhh the real-life serial killer who killed children.
32:01
Yeah, you know. And it's I just I'm with you.
32:07
He's when he said the moral of the story is don't fucking touch
32:10
kids. It was nice to see a whole room
32:12
of people cheer that I would have been concerned if they were
32:15
booze, but it was it's again, that that breathing is just, I
32:20
don't know why I grabbed me right away even on the album,
32:23
because it is so visceral, sounding and everything that
32:25
kind of pulls your attention and right away.
32:29
Every word from your fucking mouth is like bringing wood to a
32:31
burning house. And we'll be here all night.
32:33
Till ashes are all we breathe. Yep, looking good, so good.
32:39
I'm so good might for that one. So once I would fight with you
32:45
on that one. So once again like this, this
32:47
feels like one of those things where like the the truncated
32:51
time of turn around actually worked against because dienst
32:59
watching too much hockey, sorry. Um, hey, buddy, I don't blame
33:02
you, but I feel like like a lot of these lyrics your coding.
33:07
Like, if, if I didn't catch him that first time in the end, the
33:11
song Hit the Floor and I don't get to hear it again, then, you
33:15
know, it doesn't I swear that if you let me go and so and so but
33:19
tears were only water and water is cheap.
33:22
Yeah, but this is this is a trending Thing that happens when
33:30
I do a band with Tina his, I let her down because I there's a
33:35
lyric that I missed. So is every time I bring it up,
33:39
you're like oh shit if I would have known that.
33:41
Yeah. And I'm like just a, the worst
33:45
part is like, I noted like I noted that, you know, there was
33:49
lyrics that jumped out at me immediately.
33:51
And I was like, oh yeah. This is what this is.
33:52
Why Tina's here, but like, clearly, I need it.
33:55
Oh, by the way, if you guys can hear the Thunderbirds, they're
33:58
practicing like Right over my house.
33:59
So yeah. Nothing wrong with that.
34:02
Nothing wrong with that. All right, track, the sound of
34:04
Freedom. Just so honored is your turn.
34:09
It is my turn. I'm going with another one of
34:12
his songs that I have gotten to perform live.
34:15
It's one that almost if you listen to, it sounds romantic
34:18
and what not? And it is maybe it isn't kind of
34:20
a twisted way, but it's more twisted.
34:22
If you ask me the wait. Absolutely.
34:27
Yep. It just is going to say no,
34:29
because I can hear the hesitation in his voice right
34:30
now. I'm going to say no, never, it's
34:36
been a while. Yes, yes, so good.
34:39
So good. I never damn right, I'm right
34:46
for the record. No, this is not a cover of the
34:48
song by the band. I need people to know that right
34:52
now. It's his own song.
34:53
Don't get the two twisted. It's just, it's so good.
34:58
I know there's so many eye lines in there that stood out to me
35:01
immediately but it's and again, it just got kind of well, this
35:05
is this upbeat Rhythm to it that goes against the lyrics of your,
35:10
if you're paying attention. Oh boy.
35:15
I've been nothing but to let down these last stop.
35:20
So let me try this one out. Maybe I can hit the bin because
35:26
that's the cocaine enable hell. Yes.
35:31
Absolutely. That one actually made my
35:34
Cutlass. So I'm I don't know.
35:35
I don't know. I get to be the disappointment.
35:37
I'm so sorry. Rude.
35:40
It would be look. It made it towards the end.
35:42
It just didn't make the final cut.
35:43
I'm sorry sometimes. It be that way.
35:46
Sometimes it does, it does. All right Tina, I'm surprised
35:49
you had that song. Justin, if I'm honest really
35:54
Maybe because I didn't expect you to really like latch on to
35:57
one of the really somber ones, but maybe this one's just like
36:00
really self-reflective and like, that's why I hit you.
36:03
I am not sure, but it's very sad.
36:06
Yeah. Well, you know, I'm a big fan of
36:10
wordplay cocaine enable. That's, that's great.
36:14
He's again, as a really, it's really well thought out.
36:16
But it's a perfect, perfect segue.
36:19
I love the lines of the End. By the way, though, because I've
36:21
always been scared of loving And just a little bit more than I'm
36:25
loved. And the way he sings it.
36:27
Yes. Sounds like he's in pain.
36:30
Yes. Absolutely.
36:32
It's a great song. I have no argument with that.
36:34
Being on everybody's list. All right.
36:38
Well now I'm scared. Oh.
36:42
So Tina has a trend of the current ones that are about
36:48
murder. No, darn it.
36:52
So this One's really up at the top of my list because it feels
36:56
again, like visceral. But I love the way that the
37:00
chorus sounds musically. I love it all Edmund temper.
37:08
Don't let me down, guys, why? Sorry we're gonna let you down
37:13
song, okay? But it gets to be played, right?
37:15
Yes, it gets to be played, right?
37:17
That was number 17. That was one.
37:20
I was, I was wrestling around with and Edmund Edmund.
37:24
Temporary was, yeah, God when the chorus kicks in and he gets
37:27
all gravity goes, I got a hundred pound problem and he's
37:30
like, aw, like in it. Oh God, I can't sing well, so
37:33
ignore that but like just like he goes all low and Gravely
37:37
about it and I'm like, Oh my God, I'm so scared of you.
37:50
I'm not going to I'm not going to try to explain it because I
37:52
don't I don't have an explanation.
37:54
So it sounds. Alright.
37:55
Oh like it sounds romantic and parts and then the chorus kicks
37:59
in. Yep.
38:01
And it's a totally different song and it's awesome and I love
38:05
it. Listen to that song, guys.
38:07
If it is, once you've once you've decided you love Amigo.
38:11
The devil later. Make sure this song is on your
38:13
list, very much. Okay, I'll give a skip a couple
38:17
here because we had a lot of the same ones.
38:19
E on my next one is going to be one that sounds sad and is kind
38:25
of sad. There's not a lot of mix up on
38:28
this one here. But again, it was just one of
38:29
those things that I felt like I want a personal level.
38:32
I feel like at least most of us could relate to in some way
38:36
different anymore. Absolutely, I was not making a
38:39
list without it. Yeah, I just, I mean the opening
38:42
line from it is I break myself to pieces for everybody else to
38:45
take. And I immediately felt that line
38:48
in my soul. That one had the whole room, the
38:52
whole room in tears when he performed it.
38:54
Yeah, yes. There's, there's anguish in his
38:56
voice and in, in his face when you see him live, when he does
38:59
this Justin, you don't have it that wine, though.
39:06
Like, you just reading it just now was like, oh, shit, yeah.
39:10
Now, imagine it being saying, yeah.
39:15
Really good. You don't say, yeah.
39:20
I keep dancing around this one so I'm going to pull the
39:23
Band-Aid off and okay. I don't know why but this one
39:26
feels like it was kind of left field.
39:28
E preacher feature. No it's not have that one.
39:33
Nope yeah sorry that's not that song.
39:40
I was going to say don't you dare even musically?
39:47
It kind of left field. E We had to hit the file so far.
39:52
Yeah. Now we thought why?
39:54
I thought we had like four that were unanimous.
39:56
No, like that have not had any yeah.
39:59
Oh, oh yes. Yes, that's shocking to me.
40:04
They don't know. All right, Tina.
40:15
I love this song. I feel like this is maybe one of
40:17
the ones he's most known for. I have a bumper sticker on my
40:20
cabinet at work. That says there's only one kind
40:23
of people in this world. People who died, be blue dye.
40:26
That was number 16 on my list. So one kind of people is you
40:34
guys are absolutely ridiculous. Look, I'm sorry was 16.
40:39
It moves a Leyden jar know I always make the mistake of
40:58
trying to listen to the playlist like right before we go on just
41:01
to kind of put me back in the head space of of the artists,
41:04
you switched, this one. This is the one you switched.
41:10
You dirty song, switcher. For what?
41:15
I'll get that one out next time you dump that one out at the end
41:20
with zero matches. We'll see, this is going to get
41:28
heated. No, ma'am.
41:33
All right, whatever. Let me show.
41:35
Okay, whatever, whatever, it's fine.
41:37
Everything's fine. Who are we jumped on my list
41:41
suing her because give me a few we've already done.
41:45
Let's go with another one from the Later album, Born against
41:51
that. I was a big fan of quiet as a
41:53
rat. Hell yes.
41:55
Yes, absolutely quiet. As a rat is such a good song and
42:00
one of my, I mean like right away, the way it opens up is
42:06
just I mean the the kid who comes home read from panic and
42:11
fear and it's basically the whole premise of it is that he
42:16
gets his ass kicked and he's being beaten up and his mom
42:19
yells Jesus Christ. As she cleaned, the blood
42:20
pouring out of his ears but it's obvious that quiet as a rat.
42:23
God was nowhere near and I'm just like, oh, that's so I love
42:28
that. Like, it's just the to the
42:31
poetry and the way he says that, I don't know.
42:33
I grabbed me right away. The school everyone treats
42:37
Commandments like more of a bucket list.
42:39
Yes. Yes, such a good line.
42:43
And then, of course, it contains the album title in it, which is
42:46
so, I've been asking why I was born against which and I did
42:49
that, I did the dumb thing and pointed at my radio and said
42:51
that's the name of the album. Hmm, the thing.
42:56
That's right. They said that thing.
42:58
I want my my favorite line from what I think is if everyone's
43:05
Made In His Image and he couldn't perfect it.
43:08
Then what the hell, makes anyone think we can, mmm, it's just
43:12
such a again with so many times, I go back to the lyrics on these
43:15
things because they're what the music is always good.
43:17
And sometimes, the music does carry some of this, but his
43:20
lyrics are are never not strong. All right, so I got to do this
43:29
here because o because Tina basically threatened me, so if I
43:35
don't play it, if I dump it out, instead, I wrestled with it,
43:40
clearly I wrestled with it, but um, I went with storytelling
43:45
here. Perfect wife.
43:49
No, I do. You have it?
43:51
I do. I do.
43:52
Indeed, you're lucky. I do indeed, because the thing
43:56
about that, one that I really enjoyed was that for the whole
43:58
song, they're kind of beating you down without depressing.
44:01
This is. And then you get that twist
44:04
right at the end. Yeah.
44:06
And I love it. It's almost like a well-made
44:07
movie in that regard. That's what saved it is.
44:10
It gives me that goodbye or olver Vibes at the end like, oh,
44:15
right? Yeah, earlier finish, talking
44:16
about from the The chicks, the chicks, indeed.
44:19
But like, she's, she's getting back at him and yes, yes, the
44:24
whole time, I'm like, oh, this is awful.
44:28
It's oh, it's awful. It's terrible and horribly
44:31
abusive husband and a woman who gets back at him and you know
44:36
what's funny, is given you have to listen to the song to really
44:40
understand it. But at the end, apparently, his
44:43
wife looks down at him and says and then the line happens again
44:46
and I almost cut. This song because I said, well,
44:48
given what's happened? That's impossible.
44:52
Yeah. But there we go.
44:56
All right it's got to be, it's got to.
44:59
All right, little of love. So, this is the one that I see.
45:07
Added right at the end before we came on and I wrestled with it a
45:12
little bit. And the reason I put it on is
45:15
because my friend Andrew last night said, Tina, you have to
45:19
tell the story and live. This one is a story before a
45:26
story and so I implore you all to go see an ego.
45:31
The devil to find out why he hopes her husband dies.
45:34
Yes. So, I have husband /.
45:39
I hope your husband dies because it's on the first and the second
45:41
record and it is a doozy of a story that may or may not
45:47
involve a husband that actually died.
45:49
Yeah, please do. Ready.
45:52
Coincidentally, please don't write any more songs about me.
45:55
Yeah, it's again that goes back to exactly what Tina said and
46:02
it's him at the live show. Like that really is probably why
46:05
that song made my list because it's a good song.
46:08
But knowing the story behind it is what really seals the deal
46:14
and his telling of it because he you can tell, he's clearly
46:17
uncomfortable telling part of that story.
46:20
So, did we all have that one? Indeed, what?
46:23
I love that we have six indeed. I still have five left.
46:32
So have you really? You've been wrong?
46:33
Because I only have one left. I only have I think.
46:37
Yeah, I only have one. Wait, no, I have two left.
46:42
I think I have two left. Wait, no, I think I have three
46:44
left. How did I do this?
46:46
I don't know. I think I have three left.
46:48
Okay, well, let's find out one of them.
46:52
Okay, I'm going to go with one that again is it's actually
46:59
quite dark but the way it's written in the way he does, it
47:02
comes across as romantic and beautiful in a way and that's a
47:06
letter from Death Row. Is that a, is that a cut for
47:11
you? Yes.
47:13
And it bummed me the hell out. I love that one.
47:16
And you know what? When I put that one on my list,
47:18
I kind of expected Justin. I'm sad.
47:20
I'm assuming you don't have it. I didn't you.
47:22
Oh, okay. Well, then I was going to say, I
47:24
kind of expected nobody else to have that one because that's one
47:26
that I could easily see people not, not glossing over, but just
47:30
it not doing it for them, but there was just something so
47:34
beautiful about the Twisted, nature of how romantic that song
47:37
sounds for me, that I Champ Escape that when I listen to it
47:43
over and over. I always, I got that, you know?
47:49
From from reading the title letter from Death, Row is like,
47:53
okay, this one is going to be on my radar and then you listen to
47:57
it and it's like, oh, okay, so it's definitely making my first
48:01
pass and then like you said, like the next time I came around
48:06
to it, I was like, I don't know what it is.
48:07
I can't really put it into words but I can't I can't bring myself
48:11
to cut it so but it's also the closer.
48:14
Yeah. Uh-huh.
48:15
The closer closer. So is the last song you heard
48:18
and it does a really Really good job of being like let's do that
48:20
again. Yes more please I love letter
48:26
from death row that was very hard for me to cut in there is a
48:28
couple of them on here that I cut because the reference to
48:31
death was so personal almost like and those were really hard
48:36
for me to like make someone else listen to unless they're ready
48:41
for it. You know like there's that one's
48:44
just real big bummer but also really real big.
48:49
But I just love the line. I love every cell that makes up
48:51
who you are and everything between All right.
48:57
So we have one we still only have one shot at his at a
49:00
unanimous. Right.
49:01
So might as well and shot one shot.
49:05
You only get one shot. This is an installment.
49:08
Sorry this is Justin is the only one with the chance because I'm
49:11
after you so yeah right Mom. All right, I'll go back up to
49:20
the top of my list Here For a Few Good Men.
49:25
No, I had to know and that was a late cut for me, because it was
49:29
one of my first one of the first ones I heard from him.
49:33
I love that song. It is a great song is oh no no
49:36
no, no hate whatsoever. All right.
49:47
I'm not really hopeful that this will land either of you.
49:49
I just wanted to talk about it because it seems like there's a
49:51
xylophone intro maybe if that's instrument.
49:57
It's really twinkly and weird but like, awesome, the Liar's
50:04
Club. So I do love the Liar's Club and
50:09
I saw him perform that one alive and it was great, but it was a
50:13
late cut for me. Well, later cut, it was, it was
50:17
before some of the other ones I can't.
50:19
I cannot save you. That's okay.
50:22
Because you get to listen to this weird intro to this song
50:25
and it's so, but like is very weird.
50:36
There's a line in it that I really love.
50:44
So there's a lyric in a little further in that's nothing at
50:49
all. That makes you feel as small as
50:51
dying, will ghosts have a way to make regrets feel so alive but
50:58
it's the death of anisole that keeps the hopes of finding
51:01
something better. He really is and it's that's one
51:10
of the reasons. I'm so bummed that more people
51:11
don't know about him because he is such a words, but the way he
51:16
writes is so poetic, I was listening to some music the
51:19
other day, just current and it's good but like something I'm
51:23
noticing is that like some of the lyrics and stuff?
51:25
I hear a lot lately are just so on the nose just so matter fact,
51:29
just so this is, this is what I'm saying, there's nothing
51:31
deeper than this and It. That's one of the things I
51:34
appreciate about him so much. Is that his music is never like
51:37
that with the exception of murder, Domingo.
51:39
All that one's done, almost, I think to play as a joke in that
51:44
regard. So, all right, I'm down to three
51:49
Sean. So like we can only all we can
51:51
do is make the conversation harder.
51:52
But six is where we're at right now.
51:57
I've started. Yeah, so Tina, you get the final
52:00
say, no matter how this shakes out between shot And I so yeah,
52:04
I've only got one more. So, okay, well let's find out
52:07
what it is. The final one is another one of
52:11
the first songs I ever heard by mego the devil.
52:13
So it holds a special place in my heart and help hook me.
52:15
It's also one of the ones that made me realize if you pay
52:17
attention to his lyrics, this is one of the this might have been
52:20
one of, if not the first one that made me a wait a minute and
52:24
really go back and pay attention to what he was saying and
52:26
analyze it the recluse, fuck. Well, that's a bad sign.
52:32
That's a bad sign. That was my last cut.
52:36
I even made a note because on that, you know, it's I wish I
52:40
could show you. It says last cut the recluse
52:43
with in red. That's why the devil came and
52:46
sold his fucking soul to me. Yep.
52:50
Oh no. Yeah, there's just so many good
52:53
lines in there that if you really stop and pay attention to
52:57
them, I'm so bummed It's theirs. What's the one line he has?
53:05
That really makes me feel like he's talking about wearing
53:07
somebody skin in this song and people don't, it's you don't
53:11
always catch that if you're not paying attention.
53:13
But he says, like, what did he say?
53:16
He wanted to be alone so I took off my vest or took off my coat,
53:20
right? And he's talking about another
53:22
person that he's winner, you know?
53:25
You're like oh wait, this is so much weirder than I thought it
53:28
was and that's what grabbed me right away when I saw Stood,
53:31
listening to Amigo the devil will because at first I was
53:33
like, Justin. I didn't know what to expect
53:35
when my friend told me to listen to him.
53:36
And I think the first two songs I heard where this and Helen
53:39
you, and this one was the one that made me go.
53:42
Wait, what the hell is he talking about?
53:44
And really realize that it was completely different than what
53:48
it sounded like. So, this one's definitely about
53:51
Ed Gein. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it
53:54
talks about like, pulling a body from the ground, but there is
53:57
this line because I need to feel comfortable in my own skin.
54:01
But I think I like the Wonder. But you're living in.
54:03
Yep, great line. Listen, I'm so mad.
54:07
I feel like, I wish I could just like, switch out.
54:10
One of them ones that didn't make it in, because I love this
54:13
song so much, but it just makes the conversation harder.
54:16
Listen, listen to this song guys.
54:18
Every time we've talked about, please listen to it, just eat
54:21
whole thing. What he says, you know, he says
54:24
she had secret, she wanted to get off her chest.
54:26
I'll take the burden if you need and I'll spill my guts if you
54:29
follow my lead. Hmm.
54:31
And it's all, it's so good. It's the well-written many event
54:38
obviously, but like that. Last listen, right.
54:43
Before we started the recluse perfect wife and one kind of
54:47
people, all three of those were like the ones I was wrestling
54:50
with to keep. So yeah, like it was really
54:56
like, and when I heard the This time I was like cuz it wasn't it
55:03
wasn't on my first pass. I was like, oh shit, I think I
55:08
fucked. I fucked up here so clearly I
55:11
must have so. Alright.
55:12
So that was your night. Thank you.
55:15
So I guess just for funsies I'll do about what I got three left.
55:19
So I got first day of the end of my life.
55:22
That one I didn't put because holy shit.
55:25
Yeah. Wow, that one is so sad.
55:27
It's stunning but prepare yourself if you listen to it.
55:30
It is very hard to Listen to If you are in any way that that
55:34
mental Place indeed which luckily I want I wasn't.
55:39
So then I got 24K casket is such a good song to my last one was
55:48
Shadow. That's a good one to that.
55:51
That one was really late cut for me.
55:53
I caught all of those. I had them all.
55:55
So yeah, anybody that's listening to this that like I
55:58
had every single song that was talked about My first, well, you
56:02
know, my first cut the, my first run-through had 36 songs.
56:06
It was, it was all of them, it's really hard, making Cuts.
56:12
All right, so, Christina wins and with six.
56:16
So we've got Helen you Dahmer, does Hollywood husband hungover
56:20
in Jonestown quite as a rat another man's grave through.
56:24
Let's see. I think it was nine that we need
56:27
to get down to four. We shut up.
56:35
He's right, it is 9 indeed. All right, so we've got the
56:42
weight, perfect wife cocaine, enable if I'm crazy stronger
56:46
than dead murder at the bingo hall, drop for every hour
56:49
different anymore. Letter from Death Row,
56:52
immediately murder at the bingo hall is jumping out at me,
56:55
because, like I said, if it wasn't 16, it was 17, it was, it
56:58
was, it was right there and I loved it and I don't forget
57:03
didn't have a reason for me, it's got the great energy for it
57:07
and it does exactly what we say. Amigo does where he kind of goes
57:11
against type for the song, or the sound or whatever you're
57:14
expecting, but in the opposite direction.
57:17
Yeah, which I think is, which I think is awesome because it's
57:19
still very Amigo. It's just the other way around.
57:22
Any any? Yeah, and if you, if you want to
57:25
feel what it's like to see, Amigo, the devil lives just by
57:28
hearing one of the songs that's it, right?
57:32
Like it has every element of a performance of his.
57:35
It's a story. It has this really over-the-top
57:40
feel to it but that it rains it back and like takes you on an
57:44
absolute Adventure about something that does not fucking
57:47
matter at all, and it's awesome. Like going to play Bingo,
57:52
becoming an adventure. Is something that I had never
57:54
thought. I'd say out loud, all right, so
57:58
that brings us up to seven. So is there something jumping
58:00
out at you Tina? That you're like man, we
58:03
probably need to get that one. I think that from what we have
58:09
already, let me just double check, we don't have anything
58:13
that's a bummer and that's good, but I think we should only be
58:17
one. So I don't think that we should
58:20
have. Both cocaine enable differ.
58:22
All three cocaine enable different anymore and letter
58:24
from Death Row. I think we can only take one.
58:27
Okay during the fair point, Fair Point which sounds like
58:32
different anymore is very much very personal and about Feeling
58:39
like you're stuck in your own skin and having the pressure
58:43
that Society puts on you to build you into a certain thing
58:46
and then just finally like collapsing under the weight of
58:48
it all. And I think that a lot of people
58:49
can really relate to that feeling and like I said, there
58:54
wasn't a dry eye in the house when that song played and I
59:00
still am very affected by it. However I think that cocaine
59:03
enable is a better song so I don't know.
59:07
I know man. I'm torn with those but I think
59:10
that we need to take one of the three but that's just my
59:13
personal. I agree with you.
59:15
I think we could we could take one of the three and while I
59:17
love it I do understand why I think letter from Death Row
59:20
could be the one that gets axed immediately, but for my the
59:25
exact reasons you explained with different anymore or the
59:28
reasons, I think it's the better song because there's not a dry
59:32
eye in the house and there's not.
59:33
Well, that's what I'm saying is like I think music music at its
59:35
core supposed to a listen and emotion.
59:37
Oh, yes. And get his better personally
59:40
but I think cocaine enables maybe more like Come on a
59:45
commercial. That's not the right word
59:47
accessible, maybe. But I think different anymore is
59:49
a personally better song. So I guess I really just don't
59:53
you. Justin?
59:55
Well, I mean, what was that first line about?
59:59
What did you say was like about feeling like you give
1:00:02
everything. I break myself to make some tea
1:00:05
for everyone else to take. Yeah, it all back together in
1:00:08
the size and shape. They want to make I carry around
1:00:10
the ashes of everything I was before and lately it seems the
1:00:13
matches are the only book I'm reaching for.
1:00:17
I mean I don't I don't know that everybody feels that way but
1:00:23
like, I have lost count of the times.
1:00:25
How many times? Like I felt that way that I.
1:00:30
Yeah, you know, you know, people just kind of get what they need
1:00:34
for me. You know, and like that feeling
1:00:37
of not necessarily being used but like giving God man, like,
1:00:42
I'm getting kind of upset talking about it but like that,
1:00:46
that feeling I feel like is what could carry this.
1:00:50
In and I mean, it does feel like a big swing to take that, you
1:00:56
know, hopefully people get that, you know, out of it.
1:01:01
But judging by the panel that's here, like we all kind of felt
1:01:05
that. So, I don't know.
1:01:07
Like I think for sure like the feeling I got when, when Shawn
1:01:13
read those lyrics, the first time I was like I can't believe
1:01:15
I didn't have that. So and the way he sings it to it
1:01:20
does the same things that an Amigo song usually does where it
1:01:23
has those soft almost whispered like you're talking to a friend
1:01:29
and in secret and then like the chorus comes in and he says
1:01:32
because I don't want to be different anymore and he sings
1:01:37
As it's so big and loud. And then when it comes down to,
1:01:41
I've changed its back to this like painful whisper and then
1:01:45
like towards the end he kind of cracks and it's just this
1:01:50
Stunning performance of a song about, not really knowing who
1:01:52
you are anymore because you've given too much away.
1:01:57
So I love it. Yeah, I say we do that.
1:01:59
That, that gets us to 8. All right.
1:02:03
Um, the rest of these choose Sean, is there something kind of
1:02:07
jumping out at you? The weight perfect wife if I'm
1:02:10
crazy stronger than dead. for me, the one that's going to jump
1:02:16
out is the one that's gonna jump out for me from these ones is
1:02:24
going to be probable, God Almighty, okay?
1:02:26
I'm stuck on two of them to I'm stuck on it but the and I
1:02:30
wouldn't be shocked if they're different ones.
1:02:32
I'm stuck on if I'm crazy and drop for every hour me too.
1:02:36
Okay, so I'm glad our brain during the same place because
1:02:39
they're both so good, but they're so different too.
1:02:44
If I'm crazy. Is reflective in a way that
1:02:49
almost, I guess not the same way, but just, it is kind of a
1:02:52
reflective song in like different anymore and
1:02:54
everything. It's kind of looking inside
1:02:55
yourself and, and looking at your own feelings about certain
1:03:01
things, whereas drop for every hour kind of fits his motif of
1:03:06
the almost True Crime, ish. Serial killer vibe that he
1:03:11
really absolutely has. But again, twist The Narrative
1:03:15
and you're coming from the Active of a parent who lost
1:03:18
their child to this monster. And I think that's almost a
1:03:22
cathartic thing there because we don't often get to see that
1:03:27
lens. It's always the lens of the
1:03:28
serial killer or just the. Oh, it's all so sad.
1:03:33
This one's a little bit of Revenge of Revenge story.
1:03:36
What's a little bit of a lot of bit of Revenge story.
1:03:40
So, well, let me let me lay it out like this then and, you
1:03:43
know, forgive me for for passing on your final say Tina.
1:03:48
If you guys are both stuck on the same two songs, we can take
1:03:53
one and Tina can take the other further final say whichever one
1:03:57
you wouldn't have picked, I would have picked.
1:03:59
So there was no Works A top-10 Amigo, the devil list, but you
1:04:12
were to look me in the face and tell me that drop for every hour
1:04:15
didn't make it. Like crazy.
1:04:17
It's crazier. Absolutely insane because it
1:04:20
starts with those crazy like erratic breathing parts and like
1:04:27
gets really dark really fast. I like o dark and it's gritty
1:04:32
and so good. The performance of it is so good
1:04:37
and if nobody else could do that song, it's an Amigo song because
1:04:41
only Amigo could do it. That's what I think is like what
1:04:45
we're trying with this top 10 is If someone covers it like you
1:04:49
have covered it, it's going to be awesome to hear the song but
1:04:52
nobody's going to do it the same.
1:04:56
It's Magic. It's it is without a doubt and
1:05:03
again I think it's any time. Something awful happens in the
1:05:06
news or we learn about something awful in from history or
1:05:10
whatever. Then involves one of these kind
1:05:13
of monsters he's talking about in this song.
1:05:16
His immediate reaction is like, they wish they could get their
1:05:18
hands on that person. You know, they, they wish they
1:05:20
getting something like that. And this almost in a way gives
1:05:23
you that that feeling that, that that, that visceral angry
1:05:30
emotion of if you actually got your hands on that person.
1:05:33
And while the same time, also not losing sight of the fact
1:05:37
that this is a tragic occurrence, it's not all about,
1:05:39
like just being happy or hurting somebody, it's driving home the
1:05:44
hurt that this person feels As a result of what happens, I'll
1:05:48
take a drop for every hour. She'll never dance.
1:05:50
I'll hide a piece and every city she'll never see.
1:05:52
I know this won't bring her back and I'll never find relief.
1:05:54
So the last drop of the last drop is for me, you know, it's
1:05:59
just and that's such a powerful line to make.
1:06:02
I'm with you if that wasn't on a top ten list of make of the
1:06:04
devil, I'd throw things. So we've done it.
1:06:07
Then let me let me run it down, and then crank up the heat some
1:06:10
more. So we've got Helen you Dahmer,
1:06:12
does Hollywood husband hungover in Jonestown quite as a rat.
1:06:16
Our man's grave murder at the bingo hall different anymore, if
1:06:19
I'm crazy drop for every hour. So, Tina one of these, one of
1:06:27
these will represent Amigo in the end of year or best of
1:06:32
episode. Which one is that one?
1:06:42
So I'm going to preface this with.
1:06:44
I have done a lot of these shows and it's always on bands that I
1:06:49
love and I hate it. And somehow, I've been lately
1:06:55
asked to do do this first because that's just how it works
1:06:59
in the panel. And I hate when I get picked
1:07:00
first, And I've never ever thought it was this hard, like,
1:07:08
even with like the men zingers and Taking Back Sunday, who are
1:07:10
bands that I love more than like anything.
1:07:13
I still had a standout. I know this is number one, and
1:07:16
this one is eating me a little bit.
1:07:19
So I'm going to say hungover in Jonestown and stand by it.
1:07:23
Thank you. What do you think?
1:07:25
Sean, I hope You said hungover in Jonestown?
1:07:31
Yeah, I think that's a really good pick.
1:07:36
If it wasn't going to be hungover in Jonestown, it would
1:07:40
have to be something like Helen you were maybe Dahmer, does
1:07:44
Hollywood, but hungover in Jonestown is a really good, like
1:07:47
I can't argue with that choice. If you were asking me to make
1:07:49
this big, there's two, three, four, five of these.
1:07:51
I'd be rattling around in my brain and hung them all in
1:07:54
Jonestown with absolutely one of them hung over and, you know,
1:07:57
it's so funny. But hungover in Jonestown.
1:07:59
Is it the song that in the beginning?
1:08:01
I never really listened to like I gave it was I just was kind of
1:08:05
it was there and then as I heard it more I became more enamored
1:08:09
with it. So while it's Only because I
1:08:13
don't know that it's one of even amongst the people who listen to
1:08:15
him. I'm not I'm not even sure if
1:08:16
it's one is top played songs. I think it is a great example of
1:08:21
Amigo, the devil So I had it down to two look, you know,
1:08:28
Helen you and over in Jonestown as well.
1:08:34
Helen you, the only thing I would give it over is that?
1:08:39
Wow? Factor of it's the first song
1:08:42
and yeah like it I just don't think it has the grip I actually
1:08:47
agree. What's funny though.
1:08:49
Is that like the one thing I have for Helen you over hungover
1:08:52
in Jonestown? Town is that like hungover in
1:08:55
Jonestown? Obviously kind of links to a
1:08:57
real-life scenario. And while there are several of
1:09:00
his songs that do that, not all of them do that and I would
1:09:05
argue that Helen. You does a better job of
1:09:06
representing what he does even when he's not singing from his
1:09:09
perspective of something, he links to in real life.
1:09:12
Yeah. But I mean, again, I'm with you
1:09:15
on that visceral like that that It's so hard to think with, with
1:09:23
we're going to do the thing where we probably play.
1:09:25
And it's not going to make it easier, but I love the lyrics in
1:09:30
hungover in Jonestown, as far as like, how clever he is because
1:09:35
in Helen you it's pretty straightforward for the most
1:09:38
part, but like, there is so much in hungover in Jonestown.
1:09:45
Like there's a string that leads me to Hope I tie the The Noose,
1:09:48
but you are the Rope. Like just like a like this whole
1:09:54
song is this kind of like back and forth between like himself
1:09:59
and like the other person involved being like all of these
1:10:02
metaphors for other things and it's just really smart and like
1:10:08
the whole sing along at the end. It's so good.
1:10:13
I don't know. I love Helen you and somebody
1:10:16
saying it at karaoke the other day, actually, which was a shock
1:10:21
that they had hell, would you karaoke?
1:10:23
But I oh my God. I don't know you guys.
1:10:28
This is hard. Here's what I'll say in
1:10:32
listening to this, I got it on low, but The one thing, you
1:10:39
know, the one thing I kept coming back to, you know, as
1:10:42
we're going over this episode is that that Showdown Keel that,
1:10:46
you know, showdown at the goal, just like to do, you know, I
1:10:50
know that's not what this is about, but like when you talk
1:10:54
about sound-wise of hungover in Jonestown, like that is
1:10:59
absolutely, you know, the fear, I get of these two guys are
1:11:03
about to shoot each other and that is a prevailing
1:11:07
southwesterly. Found throughout his discography
1:11:11
and I don't think Helen you has that.
1:11:14
It hasn't has a western feel but it doesn't have the showdown at
1:11:19
The Gulch feel. And I mean, you know, we're
1:11:21
splitting hairs, right? So yes.
1:11:23
Yes, of course. Um, also I think, maybe, maybe
1:11:28
hungover in Jonestown has a better chance in the best of
1:11:32
episode than Helen you does. So, fair enough, Let's do that.
1:11:36
Then shall we? That works for me, hungover in
1:11:40
Jonestown would be our final say, if I've ever like on all
1:11:46
the episodes, I've done. I am literally begging you guys.
1:11:50
All of you, that's like, every person that listens to this
1:11:53
episode please, please, please just go push play. 100%.
1:11:58
Yes, 100%. This guy deserves every possible
1:12:02
thing. That he can get.
1:12:04
Like if you see he's coming to your town, don't even think
1:12:09
about it by tickets. Like, listen to this band.
1:12:14
This artist. It is going to absolutely blow
1:12:17
your mind. Please please.
1:12:20
So let me run this down. One last go-round hungover in
1:12:24
Jonestown is our number one Helen.
1:12:27
Do you Dahmer? Does Hollywood husband quite as
1:12:30
a rat? Another man's grave murder at
1:12:32
the bingo hall. Different any More if I'm crazy
1:12:34
and a dropped for every hour. Let's let hungover in Jonestown
1:12:37
kits. Moment in the song.
1:12:41

1:12:43
