Deprogrammed Year Three · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

  Oh hi, it's deprogrammed. Two different intros.
• 0:27
  Who knew? It is deprogrammed though.
• 0:29
  My name is Justin. Deprogrammed is a podcast where
• 0:32
  we try to get you into a band in case you have never given them
• 0:37
  the time of day. I am band curious.
• 0:39
  As I said, my name is Justin. The pod is a group of people get
• 0:43
  together, talk about a band and or artist.
• 0:47
  And in doing so, we will come up with the top 10 starter kit for
• 0:50
  you to get into the band as well.
• 0:51
  If that sounds like something you'd be into hitting subscribe
• 0:55
  would be awesome for you to do right now.
• 0:58
  But that's the main pod. That's what we do on Thursdays.
• 1:02
  If you're here and you're hearing this, you've somehow
• 1:04
  stumbled across this. This is a just a daily pod where
• 1:07
  we're trying to just kind of go over things that are happening
• 1:10
  and just random musical discussions and sometimes
• 1:15
  soliloquies. Is that what I'm going after
• 1:18
  here? But last week I did 2 years of
• 1:23
  deprogrammed. I did year 1, I did year 2.
• 1:25
  Today we're going to do year 3. And I might do like your four
• 1:30
  and five. I think 5 is a good place to
• 1:33
  stop it because that would put us at 2020 and we all know what
• 1:36
  happened in 2020. And I, that may have been like,
• 1:41
  yeah, I don't know. We'll come, we'll come.
• 1:42
  We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
• 1:44
  Right now we're worrying about year 3 of deprogrammed, which is
• 1:47
  2018. And I took, so I took from July
• 1:53
  to July of 2017. And looks like the next one
• 1:59
  published wasn't until April, late April of 2018.
• 2:07
  So I took six months off. I don't know, bad at math. 8
• 2:12
  months off, 7-8 months. Well, I mean, it published that
• 2:16
  late. It may have, we may have
• 2:19
  recorded it before that. I know that Jenny, myself and
• 2:25
  somebody else got together to watch WrestleMania, I think.
• 2:29
  Or it may have been some wrestling thing that night.
• 2:33
  And then we recorded our episode on The Hives.
• 2:36
  So The Hives was the 1st band back and actually I think we
• 2:41
  didn't even record that one first.
• 2:43
  We'll get to that, I think. I think The Hives was the first
• 2:47
  one released, but I don't think we recorded it first.
• 2:49
  But as I mentioned, I got a lot of people that were were upset
• 2:56
  that I let the show die with the station.
• 3:00
  Kind of to my surprise, I didn't.
• 3:03
  I guess I didn't kind of clock that people enjoyed it and at
• 3:07
  that point you could get it, you would have to listen live and or
• 3:12
  you could pledge to the RFR Patreon and you would be able to
• 3:16
  get the download of it download of it later.
• 3:19
  So that was kind, I don't want to say shocking.
• 3:25
  I think part of it was people wanted to you know, do the show,
• 3:29
  you know, then that that's kind of been one of my favorite parts
• 3:34
  about doing the show is people want to do it more on that as as
• 3:39
  we progress. But you know, initially it's
• 3:41
  kind of just, you know, close friends, people that lived
• 3:45
  nearby doing the show on the station.
• 3:49
  And it was almost all in person because it was a radio show and
• 3:54
  our technology at the time for us was rather limited.
• 3:58
  So we did have a a phone in the studio clubhouse.
• 4:03
  So some people did, I think most people Skyped in at the time
• 4:07
  because Skype was still the jam. But then we moved on again in
• 4:13
  2018. Again, this is the hives is all
• 4:16
  in person. Then one of the.
• 4:20
  So there was 2 reasons that I got geeked about bringing the
• 4:24
  show back. Or three really, because as I,
• 4:26
  as I mentioned, number one was the fact that people wanted the
• 4:30
  show back. People wanted to listen, people
• 4:32
  wanted to participate. So that was #1 #2 there were two
• 4:36
  bands that I never got around to that I always point to, even now
• 4:42
  that I'm a huge fan of, that I didn't get to do on the show.
• 4:47
  Never had an, like the show kind of became my excuse for, I mean,
• 4:50
  it still is for diving into bands.
• 4:53
  And the first one was Paramore. And that one was special for me
• 4:58
  because it was my wife. My wife was into Paramore.
• 5:01
  I, you know, loosely fan like for sure more than me and James
• 5:06
  Clark. And at the time the episode did
• 5:09
  go out and at the time I didn't, I may have said something about
• 5:14
  like bad audio. There was bad audio on the
• 5:17
  initial episode and I just put it out because I just wanted to
• 5:20
  be doing the show again. I don't care about the audio.
• 5:23
  The the important thing is the conversation.
• 5:25
  Get it out so Paramore goes out. I'm a huge fan of Paramore.
• 5:30
  Now, as you all may have noticed on the Q&A episodes, I Paramore
• 5:34
  has come up a lot in this time frame.
• 5:39
  Paramore again, we end up re recording it probably last year,
• 5:45
  year before. So if you go and look up the
• 5:47
  Paramore episode now, yeah, it's considerably shorter.
• 5:50
  If you go and look it up now it's better audio.
• 5:53
  It's not the it's not the initial episode.
• 5:56
  It is a new version of the same episode if that makes sense.
• 6:01
  We've done a couple of those right at the drive in was that
• 6:05
  year 2 Man, I'd really like to revisit at the drive in the
• 6:08
  Twilight Singers was great because Bob France Skyped in and
• 6:15
  Scott Rosenberg, I can't remember if he came to the house
• 6:18
  or not I presume he did because most of the time if you lived in
• 6:25
  Virginia you came to wherever I was and we would do it in person
• 6:28
  so I presume he did and I and I know for a fact that Bob Skyped
• 6:33
  in Twilight Singers. I don't listen to them all the
• 6:36
  time still, but there's some of their songs that you know just
• 6:42
  will come up in at random points in my life.
• 6:45
  So if you've never listened to the twilight singers, highly
• 6:48
  recommend. Chevelle was fun.
• 6:50
  I can't remember everybody on it.
• 6:53
  Evan Jonathan for sure, though, from my old band stale.
• 6:57
  We're on that episode and we covered like everything.
• 7:02
  Like here's here's a thing of old episodes is I used to not
• 7:08
  force people to make cuts before we even got to the thing.
• 7:12
  So we would cover the entire discography.
• 7:15
  We we talked about this on the R.E.M. episode in the first
• 7:18
  year, Like we would just cover everything.
• 7:21
  And it was, I want to say Chevelle at the time probably
• 7:25
  had 100 something songs. So if I recall, it was a pretty
• 7:30
  brutal episode. Don't hold me to that.
• 7:34
  It was fun because like I said to my bandmates were on the on
• 7:37
  the episode. So that was fun.
• 7:40
  Phoenix was another band I was super geeked about covering for
• 7:43
  the show. They I got put on to them by the
• 7:48
  movie Lost in Translation. Ben Mccormick's one and only
• 7:51
  appearance on the show was Madonna Part 1, which now that
• 7:54
  we're doing these dailies, the possibility of a Madonna Part 2
• 7:58
  is in the air. Cross again.
• 8:02
  These are things we'll cross bridges when we get to them.
• 8:04
  Norma Jean. Bruno Mars was fond.
• 8:07
  Bruno Mars was Keith and Sarah Darrow.
• 8:13
  I think it may have been before they got married, though.
• 8:18
  I, he, Keith had for sure proposed.
• 8:22
  I can't remember if they had just gotten back or if they were
• 8:25
  about to go get married, but this was cool because it was a
• 8:31
  true reconciliation because I don't want to say that there was
• 8:34
  no bad blood, but we weren't talking after the just RFR was
• 8:39
  dissolved. And like I said, no bad blood.
• 8:42
  None of us felt bad, but I think we let our feelings kind of push
• 8:47
  us apart. And so this was kind of all of
• 8:49
  us coming back together. And Brian Lewis was on this
• 8:50
  episode as well. Lot.
• 8:52
  I'm sorry. That's cake.
• 8:54
  We'll get to there later. Bruno Mars is just is Brian and
• 8:57
  Keith, but again, same thing because I had to go to Keith's
• 9:03
  house for this. So but Bruno is fun.
• 9:06
  I'd love to kind of get back into.
• 9:09
  I love whenever we kind of cover a pop artist because it's not my
• 9:15
  wheelhouse really is is what it is.
• 9:17
  Like I enjoy pop music, but pop music really is in my
• 9:21
  wheelhouse. 90s old is. So anytime we're kind of
• 9:25
  covering like we did Madonna there, Phoenix back there, Bruno
• 9:28
  Mars, A Tribe Called Quest was the next week.
• 9:30
  Yeah, we're we're we're covering stuff that even though I may be
• 9:35
  somewhat familiar, I love getting my boundaries pushed.
• 9:40
  So keep that in mind. Best of 2017.
• 9:44
  So this is only our second best of ever.
• 9:48
  And I met Fredo in Newport News because he was in town for a
• 9:51
  work thing. And I, I met him at his hotel
• 9:55
  room and we do what we do. I mean, I recommend going back
• 10:01
  to these best Of's because they're fun number one and they
• 10:06
  kind of tell us where the show was at at this time.
• 10:10
  Sublime, this one gets buried. And Jodi, if you're listening
• 10:16
  Jodi, they can chime in on this. It was a lot of fun, but it was
• 10:24
  also kind of a disaster, and I won't say much more than that.
• 10:28
  It was fun, but somewhat of a disaster.
• 10:30
  U2 Part 1, Alice Cooper Part 2, our very first Part 2 getting
• 10:34
  covered. Vukasault was fun again.
• 10:38
  I'm a lover of that era of music, those 90s vault bands,
• 10:43
  and it was nice to finally take a dive into Veruca Salt.
• 10:46
  Veruca Salt and more of this happens like as we go on, But I
• 10:52
  feel like this is what the show is for.
• 10:54
  For to sing, sing the praises of these unsung hero bands.
• 11:00
  Veruca Salt's great it was. It's great to give them some
• 11:04
  love on the show. Def Leppard.
• 11:09
  So I talked about this on one of the Q&A's, the Def Leppard
• 11:14
  episode. So I won't go into two great
• 11:17
  details, but this is where the Fredo sessions started.
• 11:20
  The very first one. I think we only did 2, maybe 3
• 11:22
  Fredo sessions, but this is one of them.
• 11:24
  And this was the first one at least that got released.
• 11:27
  I feel like there might have been one before that.
• 11:29
  Maybe I was just putting my foot down before it got too bad
• 11:33
  because I feel like again, early on, especially when the show
• 11:37
  came back, the the punch at Justin was always he doesn't
• 11:41
  pick the hits. So again, we won't rehash the
• 11:44
  the full on story, but that's where this is.
• 11:46
  So Def Leppard was Fredo sessions, Mötley Crüe was Fredo
• 11:49
  Sessions, Iron Maiden was Fredo sessions.
• 11:52
  I must have missed one on the last page.
• 11:54
  Oh, that's right, because Alice Cooper Part 2 was part of it.
• 11:58
  I purposefully released Alice Cooper and Veruca Salt in the
• 12:04
  middle of the Fredo sessions because I was trying to space
• 12:06
  them out a little. So Alice Cooper Part 2 was was
• 12:10
  the first episode of the Fredo sessions and I think I ended up
• 12:13
  not doing that with the rest of the episodes.
• 12:15
  I think it's possible I had trouble because I was going
• 12:20
  camping or something and I couldn't I couldn't land the
• 12:23
  plane on on a couple other episodes.
• 12:26
  But yeah. So Alice Cooper Part 2, Def
• 12:28
  Leppard, Mötley Crüe and Iron Maiden we're all recorded the
• 12:31
  same day within 4 maybe 5 hour time frame.
• 12:35
  It's probably more than that but you get my drift.
• 12:39
  Hole again being one of those bands that not necessarily
• 12:46
  unsung cause Courtney Love kind of became a prominent figure,
• 12:49
  but I think the band itself kind of gets overlooked and they had
• 12:55
  some great stuff. Hole is Brian Lewis and Peter, I
• 13:00
  believe. Don't hold me to that.
• 13:03
  No, no, no. It's Andy and and Peter.
• 13:06
  And this may have been Peter's return to the show.
• 13:10
  I don't recall. I don't recall coming across him
• 13:15
  yet. Bruno, Norma Jean, Madonna,
• 13:18
  Phoenix Chevelle. I know this isn't throwing.
• 13:23
  No, this was his first episode back, you know, since the show
• 13:29
  got relaunched in 2018 and Arrow Sessions whole there's cake.
• 13:34
  And like I said. So this I think it released in
• 13:38
  no or September rather, but I think we recorded it somewhere
• 13:44
  around when they had come back from their honeymoon.
• 13:46
  But it was nice to be with Aderos, who are great friends.
• 13:52
  Blues Brothers, that's Fredo and Keith Garbage is another Peter
• 13:56
  episode. Jimmy Eat World.
• 14:00
  Bless their hearts. Keith never got into Jimmy Eat
• 14:03
  World, so he was doing a discovery for this.
• 14:06
  And this was the other band that I was geeked to do upon
• 14:10
  relaunching the show. So I came prepared.
• 14:14
  It's probably my favorite 20 I've ever done.
• 14:17
  I was, I feel like if you go back and listen to that episode,
• 14:21
  if you pluck out the 20 that I did and put that in a playlist,
• 14:26
  you would get into Jimmy Eat World.
• 14:29
  It was the first time we we had to pick out of the trash to
• 14:33
  finish our list. So eventually new trash
• 14:37
  protocol. This is the episode that made me
• 14:40
  put New trash protocol into place.
• 14:42
  And I don't remember where it officially gets its name, but
• 14:45
  this is the episode that made it made it happen.
• 14:49
  Silver Chair, I believe was Jonathan in excess.
• 14:55
  Man, some of these bands I need to get back to you in excess,
• 14:58
  especially Nickelback. Nickelback is, I think we
• 15:04
  approached it as a please explain.
• 15:05
  It's not listed as one, but it was a please explain.
• 15:07
  So I didn't listen to their discography.
• 15:09
  Basically. That's what the please explains
• 15:11
  were. I weren't, I wasn't willing to
• 15:12
  do the work. You're not making me listen to
• 15:15
  90 Nickelback songs. Give me 40 and I will take 20
• 15:19
  and we will mash them together that way.
• 15:21
  And that's what Nickelback was that all that said, you know,
• 15:26
  whatever, man, they're just, they're a generic rock band.
• 15:29
  They're fine. They're they've sold a lot of
• 15:32
  records. I know that technically doesn't
• 15:34
  mean anything, but it does mean that they resonated with
• 15:36
  somebody. Silversun Pickups and here, this
• 15:40
  one is an important one in the history of the show, too.
• 15:43
  We did Pearl Jam next and Pearl Jam set like a whole wave of new
• 15:51
  panelists. So our Pearl Jam episodes and if
• 15:54
  we do the interviews and John will be able to answer himself.
• 15:58
  But Pearl Jam's the episode that gets John on board and from
• 16:03
  there Randy joins Curtis. All sorts of people come from
• 16:09
  Brian Cohen, who's came on like 2 years ago.
• 16:13
  All them come from John listening to the Pearl Jam
• 16:16
  episode. Just putting that out there.
• 16:19
  Pearl Jam's a rather important episode in the history of the
• 16:22
  show. Blondie.
• 16:24
  We did Butthole Surfers, my brother Rob was on that episode.
• 16:28
  Massive Attack. My Chemical Romance.
• 16:33
  We're still in 2018. Now we're into December of 2018.
• 16:37
  Eminem against me, White Zombie. Stevie Wonder rounded out our
• 16:43
  year. So our second Part 2.
• 16:45
  Stevie Wonder Part 2. So we haven't done a ton of part
• 16:48
  twos. I'm not a fan of part twos in
• 16:51
  general. Anyway, there you go.
• 16:56
  That is Year 3. And like I said, I'll do Year 4
• 17:00
  and Year 5 probably and then we'll call it a day.
• 17:02
  When it comes to these, I don't think anything much interesting.
• 17:06
  Maybe, maybe I'll try to figure out where some of the last
• 17:09
  couple of role changes happened and we can talk about those as
• 17:12
  as they come up. But there you have it.
• 17:15
  That was year 3. If you enjoyed that, hit the
• 17:19
  subscribe button, share with somebody would super duper
• 17:23
  appreciate that. Thanks for listening everybody.
• 17:25
  We'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
