  DVD isn't just better than a VCR, it's amazingly better.
• 0:05
  Here's a scene from a movie on VHS cassette.
• 0:08
  Now here's the same scene. On DVD, everybody.
• 0:11
  My HD's depend. It's the coolest.
• 0:13
  Landing smack dab in the middle of the 90s ninety 5 would be
• 0:17
  about as 90s as you could get a comeback of His Airness.
• 0:21
  America would be attacked from within and Microsoft would show
• 0:24
  some flex. So hold on, we know how much you
• 0:27
  love these timeline videos. We're going to talk about the
• 0:32
  news, culture, sports and entertainment and all that was
• 0:35
  weird in the 90s. This is timeline.
• 0:59
  But outside, only here love remained the drug that behind on
• 1:07
  the pill. But did you know when it snows,
• 1:12
  my eyes become large, and the light that you.
• 1:18
  Shine can be seen, baby. I can tell you to a kiss from
• 1:25
  the Rose on. The.
• 1:27
  Grave oh, the more I get from you the stranger it feels yeah,
• 1:36
  now that your roses have groomed in the light, it's the.
• 1:46
  Gloom. On the rain.
• 2:02
  That was a kiss from the Rose on the Gray, one of those tunes
• 2:09
  that made 1995 what it is. Good evening, members.
• 2:15
  Good evening members, night owls.
• 2:18
  It is me, your MTVVJ for the night.
• 2:21
  Dean Ryan filling in for Carson Daly, who is leave of absence.
• 2:27
  Yes, he is on maternity leave. This is an incredible night as
• 2:31
  this is 1995, a musical odyssey where we're going to go back in
• 2:35
  time. Because it is just dawned on me
• 2:38
  just a couple of weeks ago that albums are turning 30 years of
• 2:44
  age. And we're not talking just any
• 2:46
  albums, the musical soundtracks that made our lives.
• 2:52
  And we're talking about a musical explosion really that
• 2:57
  defined a lot of my life and many others.
• 2:59
  But we haven't seen such a a variety of incredible talented
• 3:06
  musical acts and artists and definitely seals one of them.
• 3:09
  So we're going to be going back in time here tonight with a
• 3:12
  little escapism and as we have before with our members only.
• 3:17
  And joining me for this excursion is one of the other
• 3:21
  Real Deal Media guys, a man who has really evolved his musical
• 3:28
  palette and taste buns over the years and is here to showcase
• 3:33
  and share his most intimate thoughts on music, on culture,
• 3:37
  on what we've been through during that time and what he was
• 3:41
  going through. Well, you know him, the one, the
• 3:44
  only, Matthew. Matt Millen.
• 3:46
  Matt Millen, welcome to the stage here tonight.
• 3:48
  What a year. Here we find ourselves again in
• 3:50
  1995. Matt.
• 3:52
  A great rendition of a really difficult song to sing, man.
• 3:55
  So we'll play. Well played man.
• 3:59
  Believe me, I it was frustrating that I, I, I have a lot of
• 4:05
  respect for Seal that we took for granted back then, which is
• 4:09
  kind of the under undertone theme here tonight.
• 4:12
  You'll notice a lot of artists we took for grand back then and
• 4:15
  we're just like, wow, ain't that the case, man.
• 4:19
  Absolutely, man. I mean, I really taking it for
• 4:23
  granted, you know, being in high school and college and when the
• 4:27
  grunt scene grunt scene took off and you know, that was
• 4:31
  dominating the airwaves for a few years.
• 4:33
  And as I mentioned in our our Oasis thing, damn, I just, you
• 4:41
  know, talk about being spoiled and entitled, man.
• 4:44
  When I, when I was complaining about Pearl Jam, you know, when,
• 4:49
  when just a when just a couple years ago, the onslaught of
• 4:52
  Slaughter Winger, Poison Warrant, Brittany Fox, Crocus,
• 4:59
  all these hair metal bands that were just absolutely dreadful.
• 5:03
  And here I was complaining a really good band in Pearl Jam,
• 5:08
  so. Yeah, if if that's our biggest
• 5:12
  problem in the world, then I think we're doing good.
• 5:14
  But you know, we're going to get into the the albums that are
• 5:19
  turning 30 this year, which which is I, I can't believe it.
• 5:23
  I it's just like yesterday. This some of this music seems so
• 5:27
  relevant and new to me like. Yeah.
• 5:29
  Did we RIP that off, Winkle? It did.
• 5:30
  We take a walk in the woods and then wake up 30 years later.
• 5:33
  If I I'm telling you, yeah, Maddie said.
• 5:38
  Here we go. 1995 seems like such a very long time ago.
• 5:42
  You're telling me? Yeah.
• 5:45
  It does, and then, like, it doesn't.
• 5:47
  What do you think about it? Yeah, but but what I was saying
• 5:52
  is that, like Kiss from the Rose, it's a timeless classic.
• 5:57
  You know, it it sounded new back then.
• 6:00
  It sounded new. It just, it never ages.
• 6:02
  And I think that's another thing with some of these, the albums
• 6:06
  and songs and tunes and people, these songs never really aged.
• 6:11
  It's just sounds so vibrant as it did yesterday.
• 6:16
  Last. 30 years ago it is it is. So I'm just getting my head
• 6:22
  around it. But let's talk about this now,
• 6:24
  because just to set the scene here, 1994, the year prior was
• 6:32
  probably the the end of grunge. You saw the murder of Kurt
• 6:37
  Cobain. And, and I totally forgot this
• 6:41
  too. Matt, I, I never brought this up
• 6:43
  to you. I forgot after Kurt died, the
• 6:47
  bass player for the, the, the band hole died the bassist.
• 6:52
  I totally forgot about that. And there was copycats.
• 6:55
  Years, a lot of Shannon Hoon, Blind Melon died in 95.
• 7:03
  A Newell of Sublime died in 95 before he got to see his band
• 7:07
  get big. And so, you know, 94 to 93 to 96
• 7:14
  was a really transitional time in the sense of losing a lot of
• 7:19
  these really, really attention we can't.
• 7:23
  Forget Jerry Garcia, that was a big death in 90.
• 7:26
  Five. Garcia died in 95 as well.
• 7:28
  I mean. Yeah.
• 7:30
  So yeah, and you're right, it was kind of a, it was a
• 7:33
  transitional period where the grunge era was, you know, on the
• 7:38
  wane or kind of not directionless.
• 7:42
  It's not the right turn on. Because there was.
• 7:44
  Still grunge albums that came out.
• 7:47
  Well, I, I, I'll say this and eerily similar to 1964, you
• 7:54
  know, after the Kennedy death, you had it just a new scene at
• 7:57
  the arrival of The Beatles. Similar here you have the birth
• 8:01
  of Britpop coming to America around this, this time 9495.
• 8:05
  But you had a real introduction to, I want to say a
• 8:09
  reintroduction of the acoustic guitar because you had a lot of
• 8:14
  grunge. You had a lot of that, but the
• 8:16
  alternative was bringing a kind of a, a very melodic sound to
• 8:20
  the mid 90s. You had Hootie the Blowfish,
• 8:23
  which you know, I at the time, you know, they're, they're,
• 8:27
  they're fun. It's a fun thing, you know, and,
• 8:29
  but, but you had the, the wonderwalls, you had, you had
• 8:33
  the, the birth of the female rock vocalist Jewel and a lot of
• 8:39
  those acoustic styling, Sheryl Crow Blue Traveller with the
• 8:44
  harmonica and the acoustics. So it, it, it was a, a very in
• 8:50
  it, it just was a change of lane.
• 8:51
  And I think it was much needed in in the wake of the the death
• 8:55
  of Kurt Cobain and the. Grunge itself too, wasn't really
• 8:59
  a genre. I mean, you look at, I mean, it
• 9:02
  was really the Seattle scene, but there was a lot of different
• 9:05
  types of music coming from it. I mean, like sound art.
• 9:08
  Alice and Chains were totally different than Pearl Jam.
• 9:11
  It was totally different to than than Nirvana so.
• 9:18
  It's it, it gave the birth to the the term post grunge
• 9:22
  movement. OK, so that's just to give you
• 9:25
  the setting of that. And then if you recall the last,
• 9:29
  the last radio podcast we did with What's Story, Morning
• 9:32
  Glory, you see Matt Millen now, he's finds himself in England in
• 9:36
  college, I think for the first time.
• 9:38
  Yeah, I, I was in Scotland. I, I moved to Scotland and
• 9:43
  actually it was around this time that one of my buddies who was
• 9:47
  also an exchange student from, he was from Berkeley.
• 9:49
  He introduced me to a band that was kind of the forefront of
• 9:55
  desert rock from Palm Springs, CA Caius.
• 10:00
  And they had become one of the most important bands.
• 10:03
  And you know, they would become with Josh Holm, Queens of the
• 10:06
  Stone Age, basically. That's right.
• 10:08
  Yeah, that's right. And they had their last album
• 10:11
  came out in 1995 S. It it, it is a sensational year.
• 10:18
  Also, that's the first year that I had cable television.
• 10:21
  I mean, that's a big deal back then.
• 10:23
  I mean, now it's people don't even know what you're talking
• 10:26
  about. But it was a big deal first time
• 10:27
  I had MTV and man, I got to tell you, up until that point, I was
• 10:32
  a pure innocent kid. Then I had MTV and I saw the
• 10:37
  Madonna video where it was, I think it was called Human
• 10:41
  Nature, and she was in a leather dominatrix outfit and I'll never
• 10:45
  forget that as long as. Yeah, that was.
• 10:48
  My God. That was also around the time
• 10:51
  where MTV was playing less and less videos as well, so.
• 10:56
  Well, it began something and the.
• 10:59
  World started in 9495. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:04
  You know, I never did I ever tell I was this close to making
• 11:07
  the audition tapes to be on the real world or Rd. rolls one of
• 11:10
  the other. I was.
• 11:13
  We were so into it. I mean, I thought I would have
• 11:15
  fared well on there. I think.
• 11:17
  I hope so. That is something.
• 11:21
  And he says it seems like such a stretch.
• 11:22
  Which part? Which part is the stretch?
• 11:24
  There's a lot of stretching going on.
• 11:26
  Thank you. Oh.
• 11:27
  Oh, she's so Grateful Dead. See, here's The funny thing,
• 11:31
  Jerry Garcia, because I was so young, I never, I didn't even
• 11:36
  know who he was or that band was till he died.
• 11:38
  And then later he became the Ice Cream.
• 11:41
  So therefore they almost got bigger when he died, sadly.
• 11:45
  So I had no idea. Actually I know they they didn't
• 11:49
  put out many studio albums, but American Beauty and and Working
• 11:52
  Man's Dead are great albums. Yes, yes, good album.
• 11:56
  We have Lena Star Moon that's saying love Pearl Jam and chili
• 11:59
  pee back then the chili pee. Chili Peppers.
• 12:05
  That's right. Chili Peppers.
• 12:06
  Yeah. Well, they have the, that was
• 12:08
  the album with Dave Navarro. That was the one off album they
• 12:13
  did with. It was the song was roller
• 12:15
  coaster. Was it?
• 12:17
  Yeah, Roller coaster with, with, with the Funkadelic Parliament
• 12:21
  behind them as well. George Clinton, I think,
• 12:23
  produced. Yeah, they they were in the bees
• 12:26
  and Butt head movie, a couple of their songs.
• 12:28
  That's. Right.
• 12:29
  I forgot about that movie. OK, OK.
• 12:32
  So I think. That was 97 so Oh my God.
• 12:35
  This is so long ago. I, I I Yes.
• 12:38
  Pure and innocent. Pure and innocent.
• 12:41
  Maddie, please. Now Pearl Jam, and to be fair,
• 12:45
  Pearl Jam was my secret. Like then, I would never admit
• 12:49
  it, but I actually liked them. I mean, come on, it was Pearl
• 12:52
  Jam, so. OK, so I'm going to list off 10
• 12:58
  albums now. This is according to this is
• 13:02
  according to like the Grammy Academy and a lot of these
• 13:06
  different genres you may or may not like, but it it doesn't
• 13:10
  matter because it's what defined the pinnacle of the mid 90s.
• 13:13
  Like we are defining the mid. What are we in now?
• 13:17
  The 20's? The future where it's now been
• 13:21
  defined with this decade, is the.
• 13:22
  Roaring. 20's the the, the roaring, painful, dreadful,
• 13:28
  never ending, roaring 20s Yes. OK, so here it is here's some of
• 13:32
  them here and Matt, if you know anything about it, you just you
• 13:37
  give me a you give me a holler there, as the kids say OK, well
• 13:42
  here it is and feel free to comment and your own right out
• 13:45
  there. Well here it is top ten albums
• 13:48
  and there's also this is the top ten.
• 13:50
  Then we're going to go over 30 amazing albums.
• 13:53
  And then Matt and I, we're going to give you our a pinnacle album
• 13:58
  of 1995 plus an honorable mention.
• 14:01
  So you'll get that to our luxury.
• 14:03
  And we want to hear your your picks out there as well.
• 14:08
  Which is weird because I was only 5 years old when, when all
• 14:10
  these albums came out. I don't understand it.
• 14:12
  So anyways, this is it right here. 10 albums celebrating the
• 14:15
  30th anniversaries here in 2025. Now, hip hop was wasn't just
• 14:21
  growing as they say, it was becoming the voice of the
• 14:24
  generation. Certainly, certainly I think I
• 14:28
  remember Naughty By Nature was the first one I saw and I was in
• 14:32
  just totally entranced with TLC. But salt and pepper, yes, yeah,
• 14:37
  that really got me in honorable mention in Vogue.
• 14:40
  Well, here it is. They're saying it it gave the
• 14:43
  the the year 1995 and the music that came with it gave that
• 14:47
  decade a true expression empowerment from all artists
• 14:51
  from all genres, politics, certainly tackling love lost
• 14:55
  race, personal transformation before the transhumanist came or
• 15:00
  technologically it was also one of the great years, last great
• 15:03
  years of the CD era. That's true before Napster.
• 15:09
  When? Physical albums loudest.
• 15:12
  Well, yeah, it's yeah, Yeah, No, it'd be right before Napster,
• 15:15
  and I think right before those little tiny compact CDs.
• 15:19
  So they're saying that from debut masterpieces to comeback
• 15:23
  records to genre shifting soundtracks, 1995 produced
• 15:27
  albums that didn't just define the year, but define careers, in
• 15:30
  some cases, an entire era. Well, here's the first one here.
• 15:35
  TL CS Crazy, sexy, cool. What an album that was.
• 15:40
  From Waterfalls to Creep and R&B Standard.
• 15:43
  And Matt, you strike me as a TLC fan.
• 15:47
  That was the first. I've got it from you, a pretty
• 15:50
  horrifying story. 1 and my I'm glad my friend's not watching
• 15:53
  this, but. Go ahead, tell us.
• 15:56
  So oh God, this guy was the, he collected a lot of porn.
• 16:00
  Let's just say, I mean a lot. I mean, when we helped him move,
• 16:05
  his wife asked us like, there's one bag just full of porn and
• 16:09
  she's all this is all of this porn.
• 16:11
  We're all no, no, no, this is about it. 5% of it anyway.
• 16:17
  But honestly, I I think he just kind of exhausted himself out.
• 16:22
  So he needed to come up with rituals.
• 16:25
  I'm saying I can't believe that we always knew, like in his CD
• 16:29
  track when it was his wank session because he had TLC in
• 16:34
  there, he had Lita Ford and Paula Abdul, and so we knew
• 16:39
  something unbecoming was happening in Israel.
• 16:43
  So whenever I think about waterfalls, I think about
• 16:46
  waterfalls. Oh man.
• 16:48
  Well, well, that's the show, everybody.
• 16:50
  We hope you had a good night. Wow, sometimes.
• 16:56
  They ritual man. Well, poor, poor, poor left eye,
• 17:02
  if she was. Here I I won't.
• 17:03
  I won't say his name, but. Yes, it's the least you could
• 17:08
  do. OK, so that is.
• 17:12
  Yeah. OK.
• 17:12
  So there's some people here Mandy Lynn says hidden his stash
• 17:18
  and wife's CDs. Yeah.
• 17:19
  I don't know what that's all about.
• 17:21
  What we just heard there. OK, so that's the TLC story for
• 17:23
  you. I'll reserve mine for another
• 17:26
  TLC anniversary. Well, so there it is.
• 17:28
  Crazy, sexy, cool. It was everywhere.
• 17:30
  I mean, songs weren't just on the radio for a couple weeks.
• 17:34
  They were on the radio for years, all the time, all the
• 17:39
  time. I mean, if you missed it, you'll
• 17:41
  hear it again, you know, in a few minutes.
• 17:43
  So that's that one there. OK, another one.
• 17:47
  Now, this one, it didn't really move me.
• 17:49
  I'm not really a fan. I'm still not moved, but a lot
• 17:53
  of people were. Tupac Shakur's Me Against the
• 17:56
  World. You know, he may or people said
• 18:02
  he's not. He's not dead.
• 18:05
  They say he might be alive. But after what Candace Owens did
• 18:07
  recently with Tupac Shakur and showed the real Tupac, he might
• 18:11
  want to pretend he's dead for for a good long while, because
• 18:14
  that was real bad. But nonetheless, Tupac's most
• 18:18
  introspective album, Me Against the World balanced anger,
• 18:21
  vulnerability, and yes, political fire too, from a very
• 18:26
  limp wristed kind of perspective.
• 18:28
  For all those who know what I'm talking about, this next one
• 18:31
  here, it meant I'll just assume you're you're on the same
• 18:34
  wavelength with me of on Tupac. Unless I'm wrong.
• 18:37
  Well. I I mean, I do appreciate that
• 18:40
  he kind of had this California sound in his music and, you
• 18:44
  know, very much a Bay Area boy and he was in Digital
• 18:47
  Underground, man, I give him props for that.
• 18:50
  Yes, yes, OK, digital. Is that the guy that says?
• 18:53
  Rock Man. The guy that says I'm funky,
• 18:57
  they call me, I'm OK. OK.
• 18:59
  Digital Underground. Yes.
• 19:00
  OK, there we go. So all right, here's the next
• 19:02
  one here. This next one is now.
• 19:05
  This one's big, this one's huge, and it still sounds great.
• 19:10
  Alanis Morissette of Canada. I always forget she's Canadian.
• 19:13
  Jagged Little Pill. One of the most biggest
• 19:16
  breakthrough albums of the decade.
• 19:19
  And since an album filled with anger, pain, really Taylor
• 19:26
  Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift almost took a page out of
• 19:30
  Alanis's book. And cause Alanis was the one who
• 19:34
  started the the autobiographical kind of lyrical songs wasn't.
• 19:39
  There's just something so authentic about Alanis, you know
• 19:44
  that I. Oh yes, there is.
• 19:45
  Struggle matching although her her definition.
• 19:48
  Her definition of ironic is pretty shit, but other than that
• 19:51
  she's fantastic. So.
• 19:53
  How ironic that you said that, don't you think?
• 19:56
  I mean, it is ironic that there's a song called ironic and
• 19:59
  there's no irony in this song, so.
• 20:01
  It's like 10,000 spoons and all you need is a knife.
• 20:04
  You know, it's, it's like rain on it, OK.
• 20:07
  Yeah, rain on a wedding day is the shit that happens, you know?
• 20:10
  But I think that's the genius of it, and I think she actually
• 20:12
  purposely intended that so. Here, here's the OK, here's the
• 20:17
  weird thing is I my first biggest crush was this girl
• 20:23
  around that time who I wasn't going to prom with years later.
• 20:26
  But I swear to you she looked like Alanis Morissette and I
• 20:30
  found myself very attracted to Alanis.
• 20:34
  I think like second album when she begin, you know, maturing, I
• 20:38
  guess whatever. And so I I I've always liked
• 20:42
  Alanis Morissette. I've seen her live well.
• 20:45
  There's something so real about her, man.
• 20:47
  Yeah, I know. Plastic world.
• 20:49
  There's something really real and unique and she wasn't shying
• 20:52
  away from who she was. No.
• 20:56
  Really special human being. Yeah, I love Alanis.
• 20:59
  I love Alanis Morissette. Really talented man.
• 21:03
  She's so talented and she has nice, nice hair too, you know,
• 21:08
  like she's since remade the album of Jag Little Pill to
• 21:13
  acoustic stylings. If you ever get a chance to
• 21:16
  listen, it's really good. And we might do that here
• 21:19
  tonight for the break. I'll try to find something on
• 21:21
  that. OK.
• 21:22
  So yeah, kudos to, you know, did you ever hear the story when so
• 21:27
  she in Canada, she was like this pop star, you know, like Avril
• 21:32
  Lavigne would become. They were like, like their
• 21:35
  version of Mickey Mouse Club and things like that.
• 21:37
  So she came to Hollywood to record and produce, you know,
• 21:41
  produce the album. And I forgot who the producer
• 21:43
  was for that album, but he's a, I think it was vague something,
• 21:47
  but he's a very well known guy. Anyways, so she's walking on
• 21:50
  Sunset Blvd. and she gets mugged and that the the guy had a gun
• 21:55
  and he goes, he swipes her purse.
• 21:59
  She had two bags. He swipes her purse and the
• 22:03
  purse he took had all her money in it or whatever.
• 22:06
  The other bag had he taken that had all the lyrics to A Jagged
• 22:10
  Little Pill and the whole the whole album, she would have lost
• 22:14
  everything. And what what what a what a
• 22:18
  story that. Is the loss that would be for
• 22:19
  the rest of us too? Yes, it is just like your friend
• 22:23
  with those were were the tapes read that those tapes that you
• 22:26
  found OK, he. He he call him.
• 22:28
  His disguise was. They were called The X-Files.
• 22:33
  Can't believe it's ladies and gentlemen.
• 22:41
  This is so unprecedented here. OK, anyways, if you only knew
• 22:49
  about the red VHS story that I had in high school.
• 22:52
  Anyways, here's is the next one here before my sore throat gets
• 22:56
  worse. Yeah, a little sick today.
• 23:00
  Might have to end the show early.
• 23:01
  OK, so this is another one. OK, so I didn't really
• 23:04
  appreciate it. I'm not sure I appreciate it now
• 23:09
  or ever. I, I, I consider this next
• 23:12
  artist kind of what she did to the 90s is what Eddie Van Halen
• 23:18
  kind of did to the 80s. Not that it, there's anything
• 23:20
  wrong with Eddie, but he inspired everyone in the 80s to
• 23:23
  start tapping and next thing you know, everyone's a guitar
• 23:26
  virtual Oh, just going crazy. And, and, and this next one is
• 23:31
  Mariah Carey. I thought Mariah Carey's
• 23:33
  Daydream and everything she did just inspired every singer from
• 23:38
  from the blacks to the whites and everybody to just over sing
• 23:42
  on everything. I mean, Matt, you know what I'm
• 23:44
  talking about. I mean, how many times did you
• 23:46
  hear the star spangled, the Star Spangled Banner of Hoes?
• 23:50
  See you. Come on.
• 23:54
  You know what annoys me about it too?
• 23:55
  That the voice should serve. Tell me.
• 23:58
  The voice should serve the song, the song shouldn't serve the
• 24:00
  voice. And I think with these vocal
• 24:04
  wankers, you know, 'cause it is vocal masturbation, it just, it,
• 24:08
  it drives me. We're trying to get away from
• 24:11
  the. Yeah, I keep on going back to my
• 24:14
  my friends. So.
• 24:21
  Sorry about that. Anyways, yeah, that's Mariah
• 24:26
  Carey for you before I knock things over.
• 24:29
  So yeah, Daydream is 30 years old.
• 24:33
  Can you believe that he. Just always annoyed me to be
• 24:36
  honest so. Yeah, this was Mariah who was on
• 24:39
  fire and just, you know, I'll give her credit.
• 24:42
  She can hit the Alto note. I think that's the highest 1.
• 24:47
  You know, not everybody can do that.
• 24:49
  Anybody you know, I just can't stand Christmas albums either,
• 24:52
  man. Like anybody who does Christmas
• 24:55
  albums, it just irritates me so. Well, there goes.
• 25:00
  Christmas songs and you know, I like some of, but something
• 25:03
  about yeah, I don't know. Well, we can only go up from
• 25:08
  where we just came. So here.
• 25:10
  So that's Mariah Carey that for you.
• 25:12
  Now, this next one here is AII believe this guy.
• 25:15
  Just I believe he just passed. I could be wrong.
• 25:19
  Correct me if I am. And I'm I'm sorry if he hasn't.
• 25:22
  He's still alive. But it's D'angelo's brown sugar.
• 25:25
  You know, again, another genre that was kind of out of my
• 25:29
  league that was beyond me. It was for a different
• 25:32
  demographic of people. I would assume you as well,
• 25:35
  Matt. Yeah.
• 25:36
  Absolutely. Yeah, yes, Matt does.
• 25:40
  We weren't so urban back then with D'Angelo, but he made an
• 25:45
  impact on some. So moving on from that now, this
• 25:48
  one's a huge one. This one made a huge impact on
• 25:52
  my life. And I would willing to say Matt
• 25:55
  Millen's family as well, and that's Radiohead, The Benz.
• 25:59
  This is a definitive song, definitive song.
• 26:03
  The Benz 1995, what comes to mind because that's a huge.
• 26:09
  Street spirit that is one of the most haunting songs.
• 26:14
  Oh, how's it goes like this? Let me see if I can get that
• 26:17
  down here. Street spirit.
• 26:21
  I'll play some of these just just medleys if I can.
• 26:23
  I, I tried to do this last time. So this is right after their
• 26:30
  song Creep. And then they were doing songs
• 26:33
  like this just so you can hear the medley in your head.
• 26:36
  So you know what we're talking about.
• 26:38
  It's not Mandarin here. It is.
• 26:40
  This is street spirit. Yeah.
• 26:46
  OK. It was the closest thing to Pink
• 27:14
  Floyd since early Pink Floyd, man, I thought.
• 27:19
  I always thought I was considered.
• 27:22
  Absolutely. I think that's a great, great
• 27:25
  comparison, man. There is that because it was it
• 27:28
  was not only about the the tone and the the melodies, the
• 27:32
  atmosphere was dominant. It created this, and I mean, not
• 27:38
  so much with Pablo Honey, their first album, but with the Benz
• 27:41
  and OK Computer and then Kid a Inhale the Thief.
• 27:46
  Absolutely. It was just so dependent on this
• 27:50
  atmosphere. Yeah, so I mean very, very
• 27:56
  Spacey and psychedelic. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:01
  And, and they were considered part of the Brit pop as well.
• 28:05
  They've reunited just recently. A lot of the bands have been
• 28:09
  inspired by Oasis reunion and Radiohead, certainly one of
• 28:13
  them. And I, I love both bands.
• 28:16
  And there's certainly I think a healthy competition is great
• 28:19
  because, you know, at the end of the day, the consumer us, we get
• 28:22
  all this great music so we love it.
• 28:24
  So that's great. And I.
• 28:27
  Love it, stellar album. It was their first and I don't
• 28:30
  think Pablo Honey was that great, but but the bands really,
• 28:35
  they found their form and they they just exploded for the next
• 28:39
  several albums and just expanding.
• 28:41
  Now I, I have to ask you, if you had to pick, what would you
• 28:46
  pick? What, what is the better album?
• 28:48
  What, what resonated with you more?
• 28:50
  The Bends or OK Computer, Matt. That's a close one, but probably
• 28:54
  OK computer in the end. And why is that if you could?
• 28:59
  Oh. God, just like karma police,
• 29:04
  just I think overall, like every song on OK computer was, you
• 29:11
  know, a nine out of 10 at least, whereas the bends had a couple
• 29:15
  of lows, I think. But you know, the bend was still
• 29:19
  was kind of transitioning from they were kind of just more of a
• 29:21
  straight rock band with Pablo Honey and the bend still had a
• 29:25
  little of that, but it's still phenomenal.
• 29:28
  And it I mean both albums, it's I don't even like saying I, I
• 29:32
  like one more than the other, to be honest, I think.
• 29:34
  I know it's. That's kind of the golden era,
• 29:37
  Radiohead, you know what I mean? So like both albums and and Kid
• 29:41
  A and Hail to the Thief and. Yeah, before they went into
• 29:47
  outer space and they start playing these weird instruments,
• 29:50
  which was cool. I was all for.
• 29:51
  Yeah, I mean, I I love when fans tried, tried different shit.
• 29:55
  That's I would never begrudge Metallica for the Black Album,
• 29:58
  for instance. OK, so here's the next one here
• 30:03
  and I'm going to do my best. I can't play this one on guitar,
• 30:05
  but I'm I'm going to try to do this freestyle rapping style,
• 30:08
  OK? And let's see if Matt can guess
• 30:10
  what I'm doing. OK, bear with me.
• 30:14
  I haven't wrapped live like this since 1995.
• 30:18
  I think goes boom, boom, boom, she said.
• 30:25
  I'm on my Uncle John. I see you at the crossroads.
• 30:29
  So we don't feed and it's a lot of scat, right?
• 30:35
  Did am I saying that right, Scat.
• 30:36
  Yeah. Bone Thugs N Harmony.
• 30:38
  Come on. Oh yeah.
• 30:41
  Before I butchered it. No, I mean, I, I remember, I, I
• 30:46
  got, I got that album from remember the Columbia House
• 30:50
  days. Oh, Oh yeah, for a penny.
• 30:53
  One of the 10 ones, I'm like, I want to because I like, I think
• 30:57
  it was. Yeah, I really, I really dug
• 30:59
  that song. And I also got the far side.
• 31:02
  I got. I was.
• 31:04
  I got. Oh, I forgot about them.
• 31:05
  Like hip hop and R&B. And I really dug it too,
• 31:10
  actually. It's really good shit so.
• 31:12
  You know what I remember because of that band or that group, it
• 31:17
  brought back a lot of the afros. I started seeing the black guys
• 31:21
  wearing and then like Scottie Pippen had an Afro, you know, in
• 31:24
  basketball. It brought it brought that style
• 31:27
  back. And I thought it was kind of
• 31:28
  cool. And yeah, I never knew what the
• 31:31
  hell they were saying. And it was just like, it was
• 31:35
  like a different language, but it just, you know, it was what
• 31:39
  it was. I.
• 31:39
  Mean it was, it was the last like for me, really interesting
• 31:46
  time and it was toward the end of the of the great era of hip
• 31:49
  hop in my opinion. Yeah, so there you have that
• 31:54
  one. OK, this next one.
• 31:56
  I totally disagree with this one.
• 31:58
  Why would it even be considered top ten albums?
• 32:03
  You know, it's Waiting to Exhale from Whitney Houston.
• 32:07
  I mean, come on. I mean, Matt, save me.
• 32:12
  I I will say though, that one thing that annoys me about a lot
• 32:16
  of singers is they try to be Whitney Houston.
• 32:19
  When that job was taken, there was already a Whitney Houston.
• 32:22
  So I mean, she, she had a spectacular voice, but she, she
• 32:25
  never really did it for me, so. 2 songs, Whitney Houston.
• 32:31
  That just moved me. And yeah, I mean, how do I know
• 32:37
  if you really love me? I know, I know, I know.
• 32:43
  It's one of the first songs I remember growing up on the radio
• 32:46
  was that one and then whenever you know, for me, two.
• 32:53
  But that's it. So I disagree with waiting next.
• 32:57
  Hell, for some reason we had that CD in my house.
• 33:00
  I don't know why. I don't know why my grandpa got
• 33:03
  that one. I'm afraid to ask now after
• 33:04
  Matt's story, but I never liked it.
• 33:08
  OK, so there's that one. And finally, finally, and I'm
• 33:12
  going to let Matt go on this. It's Are you ready for this one?
• 33:17
  This is 1990 fives. 1990 fives. Where is it here?
• 33:24
  1995 Melancholy in the Infinite Sadness album by The Smashing
• 33:29
  Pumpkins, a double album with that was ambitious, emotionally,
• 33:33
  sonically vast. The Smashing Pumpkins embrace
• 33:36
  orchestra, grunge, glam all at once, delivering a project that
• 33:39
  was chaotic but unforgettable in its scale and scope.
• 33:43
  Matt, take it away. I know you were.
• 33:44
  Forget heavy metal, don't forget.
• 33:47
  I mean, 00 is a classic heavy metal song, man.
• 33:51
  That that whole album is just how different the songs are.
• 33:56
  It's just, it's insane, but it's just so effing good, man.
• 34:01
  I mean 1979 Tonight tonight, 0 Bullet with Butterfly wings,
• 34:07
  like like the whole album. It's I think you know that.
• 34:12
  And what's the story? Morning Glory?
• 34:14
  I'd never say 1 is better than the other but they're just like
• 34:17
  every song is so strong. He goes, yeah, it was.
• 34:24
  And it was the first album that I even because I liked Siamese
• 34:28
  Dream, but it was one of those things that I I was annoyed by
• 34:32
  it because it was so popular. But when I first heard, when I
• 34:37
  first heard it was tonight, tonight I think.
• 34:41
  And I saw the video and it's still my favorite music video of
• 34:44
  all time. Everything about magic.
• 34:50
  Anyways, yeah, just so you know what the song sounds like and my
• 34:54
  guitar's attitude and it's freezing where I am and I'm not
• 34:59
  getting over a cold. I'm just starting one.
• 35:01
  I it's now gotten to my ANYWAYS, so great album again.
• 35:05
  For me personally, I didn't appreciate The Smashing Pumpkins
• 35:09
  in the mid 90s. I, I cause it was, I'll be
• 35:15
  honest, it was weird to me because, you know, from what I
• 35:19
  grew up on, nobody really saying like, you know, it was just
• 35:23
  like, I didn't know what, I didn't understand it.
• 35:25
  I was maybe too young. And then I equated it with there
• 35:30
  was a in, in 1995 specifically. I remember there was a
• 35:33
  rollerblade craze just going across the country.
• 35:37
  Yeah, like, and I still can't do it.
• 35:40
  But I remember my best friend at the time, Stevie, he started
• 35:44
  getting into like Smashing Pumpkins and all that and
• 35:47
  rollerblading and shit and like, like, like, man, what are you
• 35:50
  doing? Like let's go ride bikes and
• 35:53
  this and that. And then he he wanted to go in
• 35:54
  the alternative route with all this music.
• 35:56
  And so it it, it was a, it was kind of turned me off a lot of
• 35:59
  this stuff. I didn't understand it.
• 36:03
  But now I absolutely love it. I mean.
• 36:06
  As a, as a metal, you know, then I was in particular a metal guy,
• 36:11
  there were obviously going to be a lot of elements to melancholy
• 36:14
  that I would dig because there there are a lot of really heavy
• 36:18
  songs, like really heavy wear, you know, really sludgy guitar,
• 36:23
  which is, you know, classic Stoner rock and which I love.
• 36:28
  You know, the more distortion the better for me.
• 36:31
  So I'm a big electric wizard fan.
• 36:32
  I love absolute distortion. So, but then also just the, the
• 36:37
  really quiet elements of it and using a lot, using a lot of
• 36:42
  Toms. So it gives a real watery feel
• 36:45
  to the, to the, the tempo. It's just, and it's everything I
• 36:51
  love. That's that's why I was a huge
• 36:52
  fan of Thin Lizzy's because of Brian Downing's Toms.
• 36:56
  You know, he, he was heavy on the Toms and then melancholy and
• 36:59
  the infinite sadness is really heavy on Toms.
• 37:02
  And I, I just absolutely love that, the feeling that he gives.
• 37:05
  Well, also. Too, It was unheard of to have a
• 37:10
  double album in in the 90s. I mean, you haven't seen stuff
• 37:15
  like that since like the 70s, you know?
• 37:17
  Yeah, exactly. It was.
• 37:19
  It was a pretty shocking then, actually.
• 37:25
  Yeah, exactly. It just and you know.
• 37:28
  How prolific they were at that time that you know, they they
• 37:31
  couldn't pair it down to 10 songs unless they just.
• 37:37
  Oh, wow. OK, so here is this is a
• 37:41
  lightning round. This is according to a
• 37:45
  independent website of what they believe the Top 40 albums of
• 37:50
  1995 are and which we'll we're going to have a look at before
• 37:53
  we go to break. And when we get back, we're
• 37:55
  going to go over the top songs of the the year and then we're
• 37:59
  going to give you our picks of top album and song of 1995.
• 38:05
  But here is with some of the independent music reviewers, AKR
• 38:09
  competition, what they're saying about it all.
• 38:13
  And you know, there's some merit to what what what they're
• 38:16
  suggesting here it is right here.
• 38:19
  Well, they start with Black Street.
• 38:21
  That's beyond me. Blessed Union of souls.
• 38:25
  Never heard of them in my life. Sheryl Crow.
• 38:30
  Well, you know, you know, do you have an opinion on a Sheryl
• 38:34
  Crow? Cause to me, Matt, it's just, I
• 38:37
  don't have an opinion. She's just.
• 38:39
  A commercial, yeah. I never, I never really.
• 38:43
  Her music never did much for me so.
• 38:45
  I I felt bad for her about the whole Lance Armstrong thing and
• 38:50
  how he just deceived her in the was it?
• 38:53
  Am I thinking of the right person?
• 38:55
  I think so. Yeah, yeah, I feel bad.
• 38:57
  Yeah, I feel bad for Shark Row. Just.
• 39:00
  She just kind of, she was in the background for me.
• 39:02
  Yeah, I don't know why. I don't know why I know this,
• 39:07
  but somehow I do. I know.
• 39:09
  I think it was maybe a year or two later she slept with Eric
• 39:12
  Clapton. I I just.
• 39:14
  That's all I know. OK, well maybe we should go to
• 39:19
  commercial now, but just a few more albums here.
• 39:24
  What a show, baby Brandy. No, not never did anything for
• 39:28
  me. OK, how about hoodie and the
• 39:30
  Blowfish? Hoodie and the Blowfish take.
• 39:32
  That I just saw. Take that.
• 39:34
  Oh, take that. How about how about take this?
• 39:36
  What do you think about them? They, I mean the Geneva
• 39:41
  Conventions were made for a reason and these bastards came
• 39:44
  out in the 90s so clearly war. Yes, but they're back for good.
• 39:52
  What a song that was and then the Real McCoy going to tell you
• 39:54
  a lot of club music too, that just of.
• 39:57
  Course they never. Never knew who they were.
• 40:00
  They're full of shit though. They're not back for good.
• 40:02
  Take that so. OK, Matt's still on Take that,
• 40:06
  or we'll try to avoid that album cover.
• 40:08
  What about Hootie and the Blowfish South Carolina band?
• 40:12
  They're the talk of the town, you know they're harmless.
• 40:16
  To me it looks like they were having a good time.
• 40:19
  A lot of sports to me, they're, they're more like, you know,
• 40:21
  Counting Crows. I never disliked them.
• 40:25
  I never really paid much attention to them.
• 40:27
  Yeah, Counting Crows. Interesting you said them.
• 40:32
  Yeah, interesting, you said. That I like the the Hootie and
• 40:35
  the Blowfish guy. He did a great version of Wagon
• 40:38
  Wheel. You know, it was a Bob Dylan.
• 40:41
  Darius, Darius Rucker. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:44
  It's a Bob Dylan song that was turned into a full song.
• 40:47
  It was an incomplete song. It was done by Old Crow Medicine
• 40:51
  Show. But he did a really, he did a
• 40:53
  really good version of it. Yes, he did.
• 40:57
  Yeah, He's, he's a great. He does country music.
• 40:59
  He's a great, great artist. So no doubt about it.
• 41:01
  Well, he's a fantastic artist. It's just Hootie and the
• 41:04
  Blowfish themselves. Yeah, they were not about.
• 41:07
  They were. Decent, but nothing I was really
• 41:09
  into SO. Yeah, they're, they're they're a
• 41:11
  college, you know, like a college band, you know, they
• 41:13
  gave around that time you saw Dave Matthews and, you know,
• 41:17
  these college groups, you know, no harm, no foul.
• 41:20
  And then Brandy, who I didn't pay attention to until I saw I
• 41:23
  still know what you did last summer.
• 41:25
  Wow. She was incredible in in that
• 41:28
  movie her. Brother, they had the sequel
• 41:33
  called I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, but it was the
• 41:36
  summer afterward, so they didn't really do the math very well,
• 41:40
  but. Well, they didn't correct their
• 41:43
  work, but but you know, the irony.
• 41:47
  Speaking of being ironic is Brandy's brother Ray J not only
• 41:53
  was in the the Kim Kardashian tape, but was one of the most
• 41:58
  very well known drug dealers in Hollywood who actually gave the
• 42:01
  lethal dose to Whitney Houston the night she died as he was
• 42:06
  also dating her too Apparently. So her Brandy's mother was a
• 42:12
  very high profile PR publicist in Hollywood, so you can imagine
• 42:17
  how she climbed the ranks. So a little little back story
• 42:21
  for you there, because my, my, my wisdom.
• 42:24
  Here's some other people. I just don't know who's
• 42:27
  Sukiyaki. Couldn't tell you hold my hand.
• 42:32
  Yeah. So here's some other Tootsie
• 42:34
  roll. I was in a coma or something.
• 42:37
  We must have missed Tootsie Roll 69 boys.
• 42:40
  Matt, I I swear to you, we must have missed that one.
• 42:43
  All for one I remember very distinctly it was the answer to
• 42:47
  boys, to men, or color me bad, one or the other.
• 42:50
  Yeah, yeah. Of Tulsa, OK.
• 42:56
  So yeah, I've seen, yeah, I've seen.
• 42:58
  They're behind the music. It's quite stunning.
• 43:01
  This one, I remember. OK, this was a huge song.
• 43:04
  OK, Desiree's, You got to be bold.
• 43:06
  You got to be. Bad you got to be to get.
• 43:09
  I mean, it was a big song because in 1995, I remember I
• 43:13
  was really into basketball, but I was in the college basketball
• 43:16
  and UCLA won the championship. It was a big deal.
• 43:21
  And I watched because I went to school with Ed Bannon and
• 43:25
  O'Brien or whatever their names were.
• 43:27
  But when they won, this was like the championship song.
• 43:31
  And that song got huge, You know?
• 43:34
  Kudos to her 90. Five.
• 43:36
  That was the year that Latrell Sprewell strangled the Warriors
• 43:41
  coach Carly Simo. That's right, that's right.
• 43:44
  He inspired a lot of strangulations that year.
• 43:48
  Yes. Lena said.
• 43:50
  Jennifer Love Hewitt. Oh, don't get me started on
• 43:52
  Jennifer Love. I absolutely adored her.
• 43:54
  Still. Still do.
• 43:56
  Truly glad you're both OK. I'm hanging in there.
• 43:59
  Barely. Yeah.
• 44:01
  Clive Davis with Whitney. Yes.
• 44:03
  Yes. Can't believe you missed Tootsie
• 44:07
  Roll song. I don't know.
• 44:08
  The Tootsie Roll song. Me.
• 44:09
  Neither. I don't know what.
• 44:11
  Am I missing? OK so Sophie B Hawkins was a
• 44:16
  very well known artist in the lesbian community.
• 44:19
  I didn't know this too much later.
• 44:21
  Her big song that brought her to prominence was Damn, I Want to
• 44:26
  Be Your Lover. Which is a song.
• 44:30
  I remember that song clearly. Now I didn't know that song
• 44:35
  'cause I was too young, but this song I remembered 'cause my
• 44:38
  friend again, my, my friend, we're live in each other's
• 44:41
  pockets. My friend Stevie's mother bought
• 44:44
  the CD for Sophie B Hawkins and it was every car ride was as I
• 44:49
  lay me down to. Great song.
• 44:54
  Great song, you know, harmless once again.
• 44:57
  It's no Tootsie Roll though. OK, here's another one.
• 45:01
  Here, look at this one. Do you know who she is?
• 45:05
  Well, there's more Hootie, but Dion Faris.
• 45:10
  This is interesting. Dion Faris was in the band.
• 45:16
  Oh, God, what was this? Tennessee.
• 45:19
  Take me to another place. Take me to another band.
• 45:23
  My boy at all that hurts. But who is that band called?
• 45:26
  Oh God. I.
• 45:29
  Know you're talking about Daniel Land?
• 45:31
  I'm cheating here. Tennessee.
• 45:33
  Tennessee. OK, they'll come to me.
• 45:38
  The rest of it, man you arrested the development man arrested the
• 45:41
  of course you. Got to know this.
• 45:43
  You got to know this. Who did?
• 45:45
  Tennessee. I don't want to have to look it
• 45:47
  up. It's Arrested Development Man.
• 45:50
  Yes, Thank you. Thank you.
• 45:52
  Oh. My God, I can't believe I
• 45:53
  forgot. That's embarrassing.
• 45:55
  Yeah. That is embarrassing.
• 45:59
  Now we must hear the Tootsie Roll song.
• 46:01
  OK, we'll we'll get there. OK, so so she was the singer in
• 46:07
  that band. She was like one of the vocalist
• 46:09
  and then she broke away from them and did this song called I
• 46:14
  know which goes I know what you're doing, baby.
• 46:19
  Oh, I know. There you.
• 46:21
  Go. And it became huge because it
• 46:24
  was featured on 9O2 and O exclusively.
• 46:28
  And at the Peach Pit After dark, to be exact.
• 46:33
  Knew she looked OK, yeah. And but her, that band in
• 46:37
  particular was responsible for that bring it back to Africa
• 46:40
  kind of swag, you know, the the the emblem of Africa continent,
• 46:46
  the colors. And then she broke away from
• 46:48
  that and had this hit song, which was her only hit.
• 46:52
  But I mean, it's good. I had it somewhere.
• 46:56
  I I'd play it if I've I've never played it before, but I think
• 46:59
  you know it. Got a really impressive CV man,
• 47:01
  I'll say that. Yeah, yeah, it was.
• 47:03
  It was good stuff. So there's that one now, Shaggy.
• 47:06
  Mr. Bombastic. Yeah, I remember Shaggy.
• 47:09
  Mr. Bombastic, we all know that one total eclipse of the heart
• 47:14
  that came back in the play. OK, there's that one biggie.
• 47:17
  Smalls, I got that. I actually have that on record.
• 47:21
  I got I have it on vinyl. Now here's a.
• 47:25
  They accidentally sent it to me because I wanted.
• 47:27
  I was oh. Columbia.
• 47:29
  Final No, no, this was just a couple years ago.
• 47:32
  But then I was like, I love one more chance, man.
• 47:34
  I'm keeping this one. I'm not having to return.
• 47:36
  I'm not returning it. It's a great, it's a great
• 47:39
  album. This is a good album.
• 47:41
  Now this is a great song. Yeah.
• 47:46
  Boys to Men, Water Runs Dry written by Babyface who wrote a
• 47:52
  lot of these R&B songs back in the day.
• 47:55
  I I see these guys as one of the last real proper R&B groups.
• 48:05
  We don't even talk anymore. We don't even know what we are
• 48:12
  about saying. I love you no more.
• 48:18
  No other thing is no longer. Some people work things out,
• 48:27
  some just don't know how to change.
• 48:31
  Let's don't wait till the water. So that's the song.
• 48:40
  Great stuff. Babyface writes them on acoustic
• 48:43
  guitar and they sound good. That's why if you go to the back
• 48:46
  to the 90s, you'll see a lot of the R&B songs became country
• 48:49
  songs too 'cause they, they translated so well, you know?
• 48:55
  So just to give you a little, I play this song, but the
• 48:57
  copyright, you know, will take down the whole episode.
• 49:00
  You know how these things go, sadly.
• 49:02
  OK, I just looked at the time. We're going to take this quick
• 49:06
  break real quick when we get back here, Matt and I, we're
• 49:12
  going to give you what we're going to show you the rest of
• 49:14
  this, this little list here, but we're going to give you our top
• 49:17
  song of the year that we think is definitive plus honorable
• 49:22
  mention, plus the album of the year.
• 49:25
  And I'm going to say to Matt, I'm not going to pick what's the
• 49:28
  story, Morning Glory 'cause we already did that.
• 49:30
  So I'm going to be a little different.
• 49:31
  I think I'll do the same, even though that would be tempting
• 49:34
  so. Yes, but you know what I mean?
• 49:38
  So we're going to tend to that when we get back.
• 49:41
  And also what what are the, what are your choices out there?
• 49:45
  And we want to hear what you think and what was in your CD
• 49:49
  rack in 1995. So that's very exciting.
• 49:52
  So don't go anywhere. This is 1995 a musical odyssey
• 49:57
  special for our members only right here on Real Deal Media.
• 50:01
  I'll be right back. Yeah.
• 50:33
  How many special people change? How many lives are living
• 50:38
  Strange? Where were you while we were
• 50:41
  getting high? Slowly walking down the hall
• 50:48
  faster than the cannonball? Where were you while we were
• 50:53
  getting? High.
• 50:55
  Someday you will find me car beneath the landslide in a
• 51:02
  champagne soup And over in the sky.
• 51:07
  Someday you will find me car beneath the landslide.
• 51:14
  It's a champagne supernova. A champagne supernova in the
• 51:20
  sky. Wake up the dawn and ask her
• 51:25
  why. A dream, A dream She never dies.
• 51:29
  Wipe that tear away now from your eye.
• 51:35
  Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball.
• 51:40
  Where were you? Well, we were getting high.
• 51:45
  Someday you will find me caught beneath the landslide In a
• 51:52
  champagne supernova in the sky. Someday you will find me caught
• 52:00
  beneath the landslide in a champagne supernova.
• 52:06
  A. Champagne Supernova Because
• 52:09
  people believe that, that they're going to get away for
• 52:15
  the summer, fall. But you and I, we live and die.
• 52:21
  The world's still spinning around.
• 52:23
  We don't know. Why?
• 52:26
  Why? Why?
• 52:29
  Why? Why?
• 52:55
  How many special people change? How many lives are living
• 53:00
  strange? Where were you while we were
• 53:03
  getting high? Slowly walking down the hall
• 53:10
  faster than a cannonball. Where were you while we were
• 53:15
  getting high? Someday you will finally call
• 53:20
  Beneath the landslide in a champagne supernova in the sky.
• 53:28
  Someday you will find me called beneath the landslide in a
• 53:35
  champagne supernova. A champagne supernova 'cause
• 53:41
  people believe that they're going to get away for the
• 53:47
  summer. Come on.
• 53:49
  But you and I, we live and die. The world's still standing
• 53:54
  around. We don't know why.
• 53:58
  Bye. All right, all right.
• 54:38
  Welcome back, everybody. Welcome back to Real Deal
• 54:42
  Media's Members Only night right here at the 1995 A Musical
• 54:47
  Odyssey for Members Only. I am still Dean Ryan, whose
• 54:51
  light went off. It fell down, actually.
• 54:56
  I am fighting a cold, too. I'm, I'm getting sick too.
• 55:00
  I'm getting sick here tonight. Throw to us hopefully I you
• 55:05
  know, I got to say God's honest truth and and Matt will tell you
• 55:11
  I was, I had a terrible cold and I he called me and he said, you
• 55:17
  know, everything's so good. And I said, yeah, I'm not sure
• 55:19
  I'm going to make it. I was sneezing, sneezing.
• 55:22
  And we began to start talking about, you know, the, the year
• 55:27
  in music that year. And just those happy, nostalgic
• 55:30
  thoughts came to mind. And I started feeling better.
• 55:35
  So kudos and credit to Matt Millen for nursing me back to
• 55:40
  health for that, because it truly did help.
• 55:42
  You know it's good feeling, good cheer.
• 55:44
  It's. But I, I made it up.
• 55:46
  So it is it is it is, you know, and and it was a transitional
• 55:53
  time in your life. It is mine as well is you know,
• 55:58
  you know much on a smaller level, but it was a big year for
• 56:02
  a lot of people the. First time I lived abroad that
• 56:05
  you know, that become a habit in my life since, but it was first
• 56:09
  time so. Interesting, Interesting.
• 56:13
  Yeah. A lot of people that age, you
• 56:15
  know, they, they don't have those big thoughts, but you
• 56:17
  certainly did and, and, and it certainly played the theme over
• 56:20
  your career. No doubt about that.
• 56:23
  OK, so we're going to get into, as we have the, the race home
• 56:28
  now, the sunset home here. We're going to finish this list
• 56:32
  real quick and, and breeze through it.
• 56:33
  And then we're going to tell you the big songs that we thought
• 56:37
  made 1995 the our, our, our pick.
• 56:40
  We want to hear your picks too. And then we're going to get into
• 56:42
  the album that made the year. But to to pick up where we last
• 56:47
  left off, we're going to breeze swiftly and fastly through this
• 56:51
  one here. And yes, we'll play Tootsie
• 56:54
  Roll. Please, somebody remind me.
• 56:56
  OK, we'll get to that. So, yeah, TLC Waterfalls, take a
• 57:01
  bow by Madonna. That was a big with babyface and
• 57:08
  she looked great, I thought in that period for me from my
• 57:12
  taste. And that was a great song, which
• 57:16
  led her to star in Evita the year next.
• 57:18
  And then here's more of the. Exhale, shoot.
• 57:20
  Shoot in 96, right? Yeah.
• 57:22
  That's right, the following year with Antonio.
• 57:26
  I'm so sick of this out exhale. Shoop, shoop.
• 57:30
  I thought it was her worst. I don't know why they keep
• 57:33
  promoting that. There's Montel Jordan.
• 57:38
  Never get far. This guy still lives in the
• 57:41
  house party echo chambers. No matter where you go, you're
• 57:44
  always going to hear Montel Jordan.
• 57:46
  This is how we do it. It's.
• 57:48
  Just stay iconic. It's a it's iconic, man.
• 57:52
  You know, rumor has it, or it's not even rumor.
• 57:54
  He was like 6 foot six or something.
• 57:56
  He was like huge. He was a tall guy.
• 57:59
  So there's that one. And then we're going to breeze
• 58:02
  through this one getting more Mariah Carey.
• 58:04
  I can't get enough of that. TLC, of course, Coolio huge and
• 58:11
  the number one and this was a huge song. 1 sweet day boys to
• 58:16
  men and Mariah Carey and OK, that's the one song that that is
• 58:22
  the exception to the rule for me when it comes to Mariah Carey.
• 58:25
  That's. 'Cause she had boys to men with
• 58:27
  her. Well, if you're saying I'm
• 58:30
  biased because of that, you're absolutely correct.
• 58:32
  Yeah, because boys to men. They were a proper R&B group,
• 58:36
  man they were. They were a lot.
• 58:39
  A modern cut to the throwbacks of the great R&B groups of the
• 58:43
  60s. From Philly.
• 58:44
  Yeah, they were the Temptations of the 90s, whereas Pink Floyd
• 58:47
  was the Radiohead. Of the only thing I will never
• 58:50
  forgive them for is another bad creation.
• 58:54
  I don't know if I remember that 10.
• 58:56
  Jesus Christ, it was like 8 year old kids.
• 58:59
  They they had a rap band called, you know, at the playground.
• 59:03
  You know you don't remember at the playground.
• 59:06
  No, I barely remember Tootsie Roll.
• 59:08
  OK, that's. Another bad creation was like if
• 59:14
  Criss Cross were if they were half the age of Criss Cross,
• 59:18
  they were like 7 year old kids. Yeah, OK.
• 59:22
  I I see what you're saying on that.
• 59:24
  Yeah, it was, it was a video, right?
• 59:27
  For. That.
• 59:27
  But Boys to Men were a real proper R&D band, and I'll always
• 59:33
  have a lot of mad respect for them.
• 59:36
  OK, so, so, so the albums turning 30, we we kind of give
• 59:43
  you a little taste on that. Of course there's a couple.
• 59:48
  There's some that we we didn't mention and and they're worth
• 59:51
  mentioning and I'm going to name those now and then Matt's going
• 59:54
  to give you his pick for the album of the year.
• 59:58
  But this is worth noting. No doubts.
• 1:00:01
  Tragic Kingdom. Incredible, incredible album.
• 1:00:05
  It featured I'm just a girl. Spider webs, don't cry.
• 1:00:10
  Excuse me, don't speak. They had they had like 8 singles
• 1:00:15
  on that album. They did.
• 1:00:18
  They did and and and what they did for Orange County was
• 1:00:22
  incredible. I've actually recorded at the
• 1:00:25
  same studio studio as they recorded I.
• 1:00:27
  Recorded with the Long Beach engineers, they they really
• 1:00:30
  brought, I mean, the Long Beach scene was famous in California,
• 1:00:32
  but they really brought it to the world, so.
• 1:00:35
  Absolutely. Yeah.
• 1:00:37
  So they were. They were really close, you
• 1:00:39
  know, they were really good friends with Sublime.
• 1:00:42
  They're really close to them. They're all really close knit,
• 1:00:44
  the Long Beach scene, so. OK, Jagged Little Pill, we
• 1:00:49
  mentioned that, but here, here's a little fun fact to date Jagged
• 1:00:52
  Little Pill by Alanis Morissette, the the daughter of
• 1:00:56
  Canada has sold, get this spent 33 million copies to date, 33
• 1:01:03
  million. Think about that.
• 1:01:05
  That's what is in It's almost like one in every eight in
• 1:01:09
  America. Am I doing that right?
• 1:01:11
  It's triple. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:15
  I just forget she's Canadian so much.
• 1:01:17
  I mean, she did feel bad for Dave Kuye from Full House.
• 1:01:21
  I mean, boy, did he get out it, it was what a terrible thing.
• 1:01:24
  But anyways, we we love it so. Again, it's well deserved.
• 1:01:29
  Those 33 million sales are well deserved, I mean.
• 1:01:32
  Yeah. Just for all, just just once
• 1:01:35
  again for her just being a really authentic musician.
• 1:01:39
  Yeah, no, Contrived. Yeah.
• 1:01:42
  You also saw the birth of of kind of the the angry rock too,
• 1:01:46
  which Alanis Morris, but you saw kind of a a faction of that and
• 1:01:51
  you saw the introduction of the band garbage with the Shirley
• 1:01:54
  Manson at the helm. Girl, yeah.
• 1:01:56
  Stupid girl. Scottish Band.
• 1:02:00
  Mixed with producers from Nirvana and and the the
• 1:02:03
  industry, it worked out very well.
• 1:02:06
  OK, so there's that one. But Matt, I'm going to go to you
• 1:02:08
  now. Tell us in in great
• 1:02:10
  articulation, in detail what Matt Millen believes the album
• 1:02:17
  of 1995 for him was. If you could add what you
• 1:02:22
  thought back then, the album of the year was just just add.
• 1:02:26
  First off, I've got to mention the Alice In Chains eponymous
• 1:02:30
  album. You know, Alice In Chains, you
• 1:02:34
  know, for me also as a huge Stoner rock fan, they are a
• 1:02:38
  staple. They're one of the most
• 1:02:39
  important bands and what they did, especially for the Stoner
• 1:02:43
  rock scene and Alice, the Alice In Chains album is very it's one
• 1:02:48
  of those it's very soft, but really heavy at the same time.
• 1:02:52
  And you know, heaven beside you is just as absolute.
• 1:02:56
  And it over now it's it's just such an amazing album.
• 1:03:00
  It was just a continuation where they could really do no wrong.
• 1:03:04
  And it was Lane Staley's last album.
• 1:03:07
  So very, very important album. Let's see.
• 1:03:14
  I have to say my favorite album though, would be Caius and the
• 1:03:19
  Circus Leaves Town. Probably most of you haven't
• 1:03:25
  heard it, but you'll hear where Queens of the Stone Age came
• 1:03:28
  from. It's very much Josh Holmes
• 1:03:33
  really, really distinct, unique, heavy distorted guitar sound was
• 1:03:42
  it's it's not the Caius's best album, but it's still quite a
• 1:03:46
  really, really strong album. There's a song Catamaran that's
• 1:03:50
  just really, really haunting. It's just a really good it is,
• 1:03:55
  you know, they are the desert, the desert rock band.
• 1:03:58
  So it's a very, very important album, but my favorite album of
• 1:04:02
  95 back then, Saigon Kick, Devil in the Details, that was one I
• 1:04:09
  was listening to the most, and I just started listening to it
• 1:04:12
  again. It's a fucking great album, man,
• 1:04:15
  really is. What's it called?
• 1:04:17
  Saigon Kick? Saigon Kick is the name of the
• 1:04:20
  band and a devil in the details. OK.
• 1:04:24
  OK, they were a rock band from Miami and they had a huge hit in
• 1:04:30
  the late 80s where they, it looks like they were going to
• 1:04:33
  become a hair metal band, but then they just went on a
• 1:04:36
  complete left turn and really produced some fantastic music.
• 1:04:40
  And devil in the details, like there's a song, Uncle Edgar.
• 1:04:44
  I mean, the lyrics were always really, really cool.
• 1:04:47
  Like Uncle Edgar is from the perspective of one of Edgar
• 1:04:50
  Allan Poe's stories, which I thought was a really cool idea
• 1:04:53
  for a song. So Yep, that's it.
• 1:05:00
  Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.
• 1:05:09
  Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.
• 1:05:25
  So there you go. There, there's a little sample
• 1:05:27
  for you. It's Saigon.
• 1:05:28
  So that's what you listen to. Yeah, it's, it's still a Hard
• 1:05:32
  Rock album, but there's a lot of there's a lot of different
• 1:05:35
  texture and flavor in it. I I still think it's a great
• 1:05:38
  album, but I have to go. I mean, yeah, if, if I, if we
• 1:05:46
  weren't eliminating Oasis and I eliminated melancholy and the
• 1:05:49
  infinite sadness. So I'm that's why I'm going with
• 1:05:51
  Caius so. Well, you could pick.
• 1:05:53
  You could pick that one. You could totally pick.
• 1:05:55
  I would, I would probably. So Alice In Chains I'd probably
• 1:06:00
  put just slightly below in the bends as well.
• 1:06:03
  The Alice In Chains and the Bends would be #2 and #1 would
• 1:06:07
  be what's the story? And the circus leaves town, and
• 1:06:12
  melancholy, and the infinite sadness.
• 1:06:16
  Interest. OK, here's what some of the
• 1:06:18
  members here's what some of the 9 owls are saying.
• 1:06:20
  We're going to go through this. Lena says yeah.
• 1:06:23
  Doctor Mellon is correct. Yeah, he really.
• 1:06:26
  He saved me for that. I will.
• 1:06:30
  Maddie, you know what the next episode we're going to do one
• 1:06:33
  hit wonders. That's a great.
• 1:06:35
  I love that category. Thank you for that amazing,
• 1:06:40
  amazing thought. Here we have Frankie Elliott of
• 1:06:43
  Pasadena saying 90s had some great stuff basically right
• 1:06:46
  before the industry went to the into digital overproduced
• 1:06:49
  counterfeit digital domain. Yeah, look, you're saying it
• 1:06:52
  went digital? Totally right.
• 1:06:54
  And look up the what's called the Loudness wars.
• 1:06:57
  Interesting. Yeah.
• 1:06:58
  Which I don't know if you've ever heard of that.
• 1:07:00
  Term No. I'm.
• 1:07:02
  Not the producers started heavily compressing music.
• 1:07:06
  Yeah, OK. So when when my first demo like
• 1:07:11
  in 2000 or 2001, it was done on dat tape just right on the cuffs
• 1:07:18
  before going old digital. So I had a a a taste of the old,
• 1:07:22
  the old world just before it went left us.
• 1:07:25
  But thank you for that. The loudness wars they were,
• 1:07:28
  they were competing. They were basically bringing the
• 1:07:30
  floor and the ceiling closer together.
• 1:07:32
  So all the dynamic, so easier listening to like in the car.
• 1:07:36
  But then what you did is you just destroyed all the dynamics
• 1:07:39
  of the the music. It's so in, in terms of
• 1:07:43
  engineering, like I know Oasis did this for their first record.
• 1:07:47
  It, it's called brick Walling. And to, to explain what that is
• 1:07:51
  to people. So when you're recording the
• 1:07:53
  drums, the guitars, vocals, the producer told the engineer to
• 1:07:57
  put all levels to the Max and just it evens everything out and
• 1:08:01
  then you have this big wall of sound.
• 1:08:04
  Sometimes it can work, sometimes it can't work.
• 1:08:07
  That that was one of the. Parts of the loudness wars, was
• 1:08:10
  that actually? The brick walling.
• 1:08:13
  OK, that's interesting. Yes, for that Frankie Ellett
• 1:08:17
  says STP. No, not 90.
• 1:08:19
  There were 94 now Foo Fighters. Yes, Foo Fighters.
• 1:08:22
  The first album came out in 95. It was the post death album.
• 1:08:28
  The song I remember from that is, how did remember that?
• 1:08:33
  Remember that song? How did it go?
• 1:08:36
  It was the Mentos commercial. It was.
• 1:08:38
  You remember what I mean? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:08:42
  Let's talk about it and carry on reasons all brand new.
• 1:08:50
  Yeah. Let's talk about it, Carry.
• 1:09:02
  On and he had the ponytails, yeah.
• 1:09:05
  Yeah, I have nothing but love for Dave Grohl, though.
• 1:09:08
  He's a really important figure in music.
• 1:09:11
  Again. See, I'm trying to think.
• 1:09:14
  At the time I thought it was weird for me.
• 1:09:17
  I'm such a prude back then. What's wrong with me?
• 1:09:20
  I thought it was weird. I always kind of got creeped out
• 1:09:23
  by that guy named Pat Smear. I had no idea what he was about
• 1:09:29
  because I, I, I think being outrageous and over the, you
• 1:09:33
  know, like cynical outrageous. Back then in the 90s, it was
• 1:09:38
  new. No one was doing it before, but
• 1:09:40
  they definitely, hey, Foo Fighters, say what you want,
• 1:09:43
  their videos, they had a long list of videos.
• 1:09:47
  They were great. They they didn't take themselves
• 1:09:51
  too seriously. I just always preferred Dave
• 1:09:53
  Grohl on the behind the kit. He's just just got such a he's
• 1:09:58
  like if, if you watch him drumming, he is a very exciting
• 1:10:02
  drummer to watch. What what I don't like about
• 1:10:05
  what they've turned into now Well, I'm a little peeved of of
• 1:10:09
  how Taylor Hawkins died and why he died.
• 1:10:12
  That's all different story. But you know, you listen to the
• 1:10:14
  new stuff now, Dave Grohl, like the past couple 5 albums, it's
• 1:10:18
  always, you know, just yelling at the top of his lungs when the
• 1:10:23
  guy can sing. He could be a soulful guy.
• 1:10:26
  So that he's, you know, he, he grew up with bands like Boy VOD.
• 1:10:30
  So I mean, that's, that's his bread and butter, you know, like
• 1:10:33
  he grew. Up fan rush Rush is his favorite
• 1:10:36
  band he. He but he also grew up listening
• 1:10:38
  to thrash metal like he's a huge boy VOD fan I'm.
• 1:10:43
  I'm just thinking, you know, he's like 50 something now.
• 1:10:46
  He's got a soulful album in him, if he did a solo one, because I
• 1:10:51
  heard him, well, I heard him sing with Norah Jones.
• 1:10:56
  You know who that is? Right.
• 1:10:56
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they did, Matt, until you
• 1:11:00
  go look at this. They did a cover together, a
• 1:11:01
  duet of maybe. I'm amazed.
• 1:11:04
  And it was one of the greatest. It's it's totally awesome.
• 1:11:08
  And I wish you would celebrate that portion of his talent a bit
• 1:11:12
  more. You know, the oldest.
• 1:11:14
  Song man Paul McCartney's wish, that is.
• 1:11:17
  But yeah, with, with Dave Grohl, like every time he works, works
• 1:11:21
  with Josh Holm, he's playing drums and I just, I love when he
• 1:11:26
  and Josh Holm work together. So I, I, I, I would wish that he
• 1:11:31
  would just join Queens of the Stone Age for good, to be
• 1:11:34
  honest, so. Yeah.
• 1:11:37
  Queens of the Stone Age best album, their first one, which
• 1:11:40
  is. John Holmes.
• 1:11:42
  Did you say John Holmes? Josh Holmes.
• 1:11:45
  Oh, OK, because John Holmes is a totally different talent.
• 1:11:48
  No, no, the Queens of the Stone Age dude.
• 1:11:54
  John Holmes is more my my my friend's V8X files collection.
• 1:12:01
  What is this episode turn into? I don't know.
• 1:12:04
  Rush was the best. Yes, they're Canadian.
• 1:12:06
  Absolutely. Rush's like Rush's songs up to
• 1:12:09
  their albums up. The moving pictures were all
• 1:12:11
  perfect. Again, Rush wasn't for me.
• 1:12:15
  It's a musician's band and musicians.
• 1:12:17
  Musicians, however, I'll. Chance, man.
• 1:12:21
  Seriously. Well, I'm trying to think of the
• 1:12:24
  other the other Canadian band from that was Grand Funk
• 1:12:28
  Railroad. Is that what I'm thinking of?
• 1:12:30
  Yeah, there, there were a couple big ones there was.
• 1:12:33
  I don't know if they were. You can turn or OverDrive.
• 1:12:36
  Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I know, I know.
• 1:12:39
  You know them. Oh, oh, yeah.
• 1:12:41
  Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, Lena says.
• 1:12:43
  John Holmes. Dean G, please, we're going back
• 1:12:45
  to the No, it's I thought he John Josh.
• 1:12:49
  John Holmes, Josh. Yes.
• 1:12:51
  Yes, yes, yes. He was the Kaius, He's in Kaius
• 1:12:54
  as well as he was the Kaius. OK, so anyways, so 1995 here is
• 1:13:02
  the group or the band or the album that I'm picking.
• 1:13:08
  It is this one right here, Mariah.
• 1:13:11
  Carey one. Radioheads, the bands, This was
• 1:13:22
  the tune. Got me through so bad.
• 1:13:25
  Bad days in high school. Two jumps in a week?
• 1:13:40
  I bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you, boy?
• 1:13:49
  Fly along. Your motorcycle watching on the
• 1:13:52
  ground. Kill yourself, you recognition.
• 1:14:03
  Kill yourself to never start. You're broken of the moon.
• 1:14:12
  You're trying to sell. To you, You don't leave me.
• 1:14:39
  OK, that album had such a huge effect on me.
• 1:14:44
  Radiohead as well. And Frankie.
• 1:14:47
  Yes, John Holmes is a porn star. Josh Holm.
• 1:14:54
  Oh God, this turn into we had such great intentions.
• 1:14:58
  So that's my pick. Quickly, did you want to give
• 1:15:04
  out a OK song of the year, Song of the year that you thought?
• 1:15:14
  I'll go first. I'll go. 1st if you.
• 1:15:16
  Give you time. Play this one, Uncle Edgar.
• 1:15:21
  OK, Uncle Edgar Saigon. Kick.
• 1:15:25
  Saigon kick. OK, let me see if we can find
• 1:15:27
  it. Saigon Kick uncle and tell us
• 1:15:29
  about it. Well, tell us about it.
• 1:15:31
  Why I find it. Go ahead.
• 1:15:33
  I just love it too, because it's it's about Edgar Allan Poe, but
• 1:15:37
  it's from the perspective of one of his stories, which I thought
• 1:15:40
  it was just at the time in particular, I thought that was
• 1:15:43
  such a cool idea for a song. OK, so let me see if I can find
• 1:15:49
  it. And as I'm finding this, oh,
• 1:15:52
  here it is. But I'm going to pick a
• 1:15:54
  Radiohead song for the song of the year.
• 1:15:57
  OK, so now you tell me. Tell me which one that is.
• 1:16:00
  I wanted you to play Uncle Edgar for a second.
• 1:16:02
  First, OK, OK, I'll play it. But.
• 1:16:04
  That was my 1995 Song of the Year.
• 1:16:07
  So 1995 Song of the Year. OK, and there it is.
• 1:16:35
  Man, I like this band. I'm I'm serious.
• 1:16:37
  Why don't you It's. A great song.
• 1:16:40
  I like this band already. OK, so.
• 1:17:04
  They're really good bands, a really underrated band.
• 1:17:07
  So but then my tell me would be would be Street Spirit.
• 1:17:13
  Street spirit, Radiohead Street spirit.
• 1:17:16
  OK, I kind of played that earlier.
• 1:17:19
  I, I probably butchered it, but it just so you know what I was
• 1:17:23
  trying to achieve. Here is the Here is Matt's
• 1:17:31
  cousin's band. Here it is Radiohead Street
• 1:17:34
  Spirit. There it is.
• 1:17:57
  Those of houses up and down on me, I can't feel them.
• 1:18:08
  Your hands touching me, All these things into position.
• 1:18:14
  All these things are one. They swallow all.
• 1:18:37
  Great, great, great song. Great.
• 1:18:39
  I cannot tell you how many times I listen to that my.
• 1:18:42
  Cousin sitting in the chair over there.
• 1:18:45
  Yeah, yeah, let's show, let me show the people who he's on the
• 1:18:51
  the right, the bottom. Right there he is.
• 1:18:53
  Look, he has the same ear as you.
• 1:18:55
  Oh, what a family trait I. Know Oh my.
• 1:19:00
  God, this show OK, so honorable mentioned just real quick
• 1:19:05
  because Matt didn't even know who this band was, but he might.
• 1:19:10
  This this was a 1995 song, and you might know this one here.
• 1:19:17
  This is Space Hog. In the meantime, brothers in the
• 1:19:22
  band. Here it is.
• 1:19:28
  Look at that 95 style. Look at that.
• 1:19:31
  Oh shit, I know this song. Yeah, there we go.
• 1:20:02
  Music. Anyways, that's space hog, so
• 1:20:12
  there you have that one. So those are our picks for an
• 1:20:17
  incredible year that will live a lifetime in our memories,
• 1:20:23
  certainly in as well as this episode.
• 1:20:26
  Matt, any kind of final, final thoughts about that incredible
• 1:20:32
  year of music? Wow, this is an incredible year.
• 1:20:36
  I mean, certainly for for me, my third year in college.
• 1:20:41
  So wow, just kind of speechless thinking about that actually.
• 1:20:47
  But also living abroad for the first time just I discovered the
• 1:20:54
  band Voivod then too because of my buddies.
• 1:20:58
  It was a real exploration in the different areas of music for me.
• 1:21:03
  Yeah. I was looking so like heavy
• 1:21:07
  metal for years and punk so and you know, that was a year where
• 1:21:12
  I I really started breaking away, not breaking away.
• 1:21:16
  I mean, I still love heavy metal and punk, but expand, you know,
• 1:21:20
  branching out so. Well, I was all about the
• 1:21:23
  Tootsie Roll. What's that?
• 1:21:28
  What's that? What's that damn song's name?
• 1:21:31
  What did we talk about earlier? It's called Tootsie Roll.
• 1:21:35
  Whatever. So anyways, great year.
• 1:21:37
  We hope you enjoyed this review. You can catch this on Spotify at
• 1:21:42
  some point in time. And we're really trying to honor
• 1:21:46
  some of the not just history long ago in in the arts, but
• 1:21:50
  history that feels somewhat not that long ago.
• 1:21:54
  Although 30 years is man God, the numbers don't lie, right,
• 1:21:59
  Matt? OK, so when we our next episode,
• 1:22:03
  we do, we're really going to concentrate and make an effort
• 1:22:06
  on one hit wonders. How fun is that going to be,
• 1:22:10
  Matt? Oh, absolutely.
• 1:22:12
  One hit wonders. Forget the like Black Betty.
• 1:22:18
  Yeah, Black Betty. Black Betty.
• 1:22:22
  Who do you think has the most one hit wonders like the 80s
• 1:22:25
  compared to the 90s? That's a good question.
• 1:22:28
  I mean, certainly in the age of Napster is, you know, in the the
• 1:22:33
  modern age there's quite a bit, but for 80s and 90s.
• 1:22:38
  We'll, we'll have to think about that one.
• 1:22:39
  But on that note, I'll catch everybody soon over the weekend.
• 1:22:43
  And in the meanwhile, I'll leave you with something that really
• 1:22:46
  represents how we've all evolved since 1995, like a nice glass of
• 1:22:52
  Chardonnay, and an ironic one at that.
• 1:22:56
  Good night, everybody, and see you soon.
• 1:22:59
  Always remember to stay tuned. Stay, stay awake.
• 1:23:02
  Sending out. Won't you to know that I am
• 1:23:07
  happy for you? I wish nothing but the best for
• 1:23:18
  you both. An older version of me she
• 1:23:24
  perverted like me, she go down on you when I feared.
• 1:23:29
  Her. She.
• 1:23:31
  Speak out currently. Would she have your baby?
• 1:23:36
  I'm sure she'd make her really excellent mother because the
• 1:23:42
  love that she gave that we made wasn't able to make it enough
• 1:23:45
  for you to be open wide. No.
• 1:23:52
  And every time you speak her name, she know how you told me
• 1:23:56
  for me until you died. Until you died.
• 1:24:00
  But you're still alive and now here to remind me how.
• 1:24:07
  Unless you left when you went away.
• 1:24:10
  It's not fair to the name across I bear out your gates.
• 1:24:21
  Make yo-yo yo audio. You seem very well.
• 1:24:31
  Seems look peaceful. I'm not quite as well.
• 1:24:41
  I thought you should know. Did you forget about me, Mr.
• 1:24:49
  Duplicity? I hate to bug you.
• 1:24:52
  In the middle of it was a slap in the face how quickly I was
• 1:25:00
  replaced. And are you thinking when you
• 1:25:05
  fuck her 'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't
• 1:25:09
  able to make it on a for you to be open wide?
• 1:25:14
  No, every time you speak a name. Does she know how you told me
• 1:25:20
  you'd hold me until you died? Until you died?
• 1:25:24
  What are you sad I died to remind you?
• 1:25:31
  I'll mess you left me in the middle.
• 1:25:36
  It's not fair to deny a cross. I bear out you, gave me, you,
• 1:25:46
  you, you out of you.
