It's Deprogrammed, the podcast where we try to get you into a
0:36
band that's right. We've done all the work for you.
0:38
All you have to do is push play and listen.
0:42
And that's right. You could say that I'm a bit
0:46
band curious. I like to collect my friends
0:49
together and talk about bands that they're into and really
0:52
kind of dive in on on what it is that they love about the band
0:56
and the product of this will be a top 10 starter kit for you to
1:01
get into the band. So we're going to try to get you
1:04
into this band as well. You could say that we are going
1:07
to catch the breeze with this band.
1:10
Today we are talking about Slow dive.
1:12
And if I recall correctly, Adam, I think this is probably one of
1:17
the first bands that you put up on the board, probably shortly
1:22
after you did Modest Mouse, where you kind of got the taste
1:25
and you're like, OK, so I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but
1:28
that's the way I remember it. So talk to me about Slow Dive.
1:33
Yeah. Thanks, Justin.
1:34
Yeah, I, I think I did. So, I mean, so Slow Dive were
1:39
one of the bands from the 90s, early 90s British bands and part
1:45
of the whole shoe guys movement. So I was right into My Bloody
1:51
Valentine and another British band called Swerve Driver at the
1:56
time. And I knew, I knew that I knew
2:00
about. So I died.
2:01
But I, I never did the dive at the time.
2:04
I had a mate's girlfriend who used to listen to them all the
2:10
time. And she also actually was the
2:11
one that used to listen to cocktail twins.
2:13
If you listen to that episode, I mentioned that.
2:15
And I never did the dive on either at the time.
2:18
But, but I, I liked them but didn't know them.
2:21
So Fast forward to 2017 and yeah, I I can't think of a band
2:27
that's sort of done what they've done in the sense that they had
2:32
three albums in the 90s. They they went their own
2:35
separate ways for a while inside projects and came back in I
2:41
think around 2015 when they reformed, released an album
2:44
2017, the self-titled, which is one of my favourite all time
2:49
albums now. So I just their comeback is I
2:53
can't think of another band that's come back the way they
2:55
did. So I came in to them really
2:59
heavily at that point. That was my favorite album of
3:02
that year and then went back through the discography from
3:05
there. So and so and love.
3:09
I love all of it. So they they definitely would be
3:13
one of my favorite bands now that if I look at what I listen
3:16
to and what what gets in rotation and what I've purchased
3:20
on vinyl as well. I own two of their albums on
3:22
vinyl. Great out vinyl band to have.
3:25
So I think they're just I, I just love them.
3:30
I've seen them live. They can come come to little old
3:33
Adelaide, which is great. Not every band does, but they
3:37
did. And they've got quite a
3:39
following in Australia actually. I'll be interested to see what
3:42
Jamie's got to say about that too.
3:44
But they do seem to have quite a following here.
3:48
So yeah, really excited to talk about one of those, you know,
3:54
forefront of the shoe guys movement, but also ambient
3:58
sounds. And they're still making
4:00
exciting music now, which is is not something you can say for a
4:04
lot of bands that reform from from from the old days.
4:09
So yeah. Sure.
4:12
You you had mentioned Jamie and Jamie is used to doing these
4:17
episodes with Josh. It's usually the two of them.
4:20
So I mean, this is new ground. Clearly this is a band that
4:25
really struck strikes a chord with you for you to kind of step
4:29
out and in that way. So talk to me about Slowdive.
4:34
Yeah, I got into Slow Dive probably around 20/16/2017.
4:39
It's funny because it was one of those recommendations that
4:42
Spotify does when you're browsing through trying to find
4:45
something new. At the time I was listening to
4:48
some more Australian than shoe gaze bands, so Flying Colours
4:53
who are from Melbourne, Low Tide or a band that was from
4:57
Melbourne as well, Death Cult and then also some other bands
5:00
like Dive and many others. And then Slow Dive came up in my
5:06
face and the album that really wrapped my attention was the
5:11
Silverlaki album. Like I would listen to that
5:14
album back to front so many times.
5:17
There are so many really good euphoric kind of tracks in there
5:21
that I really like to listen to, especially during the night time
5:24
when you can just like lay in bed and have this on.
5:27
That's when I think it's like at its peak.
5:31
And then as I start listening to them, suddenly, you know, it
5:36
comes to my attention that, you know, this band from the 90s who
5:39
haven't released an album in 20 years, has released a new album
5:42
and are going to be coming to Australia for their first show
5:46
since their reunion. So like, I got into them just
5:49
before that happened and then when I was really at the peak
5:53
listening to their music is when they released the new stuff and
5:56
then came to Australia. And then going to that gig.
6:01
Yeah, when they came down to Melbourne was something special.
6:05
Like it really did feel like a new chapter in the band and the
6:10
energy that they had was really, really high.
6:12
So it was just a really exciting time for me to get into them.
6:16
And yeah, being a big fan of them since, you know, their
6:20
latest album is also a really good listen as well.
6:24
It's very, it's a it's a more modern shoe guys takes compared
6:28
to I think what they had created in the 90s.
6:32
But, you know, it's really progressing the Shoe guys genre,
6:36
which, like I'm said, has quite a big following underground
6:42
following kind of in Melbourne. And, you know, they're very good
6:45
at selling out the shows that they do.
6:48
Yeah. Like, you know, well, we're
6:51
British bands. It's to put it in context, like
6:54
bands coming to Australia is obviously a very big deal all
6:56
the time. American bands seem to be more
7:00
able to come down and justify coming to Australia.
7:04
So for a British band to come to Australia, you really need to
7:07
have quite a big following for them to put that financial costs
7:13
in. And the fact that Sodive have
7:16
done it now I think three times since they've reformed really
7:19
shows how much of an influence their music has in Australia.
7:24
Because otherwise, yeah, British bands or bands from Europe in
7:27
general just really aren't seeing live playing live in
7:31
Australia. So I guess that's that's really,
7:33
I'll say a lot to the influence that's played on it in their
7:37
music has. Well, I mean, Speaking of
7:40
America, so John, a couple weeks after the panel had gotten put
7:47
together, I, I think we had done an episode and you said, hey, is
7:52
there room on this slow dive panel?
7:55
So I mean, it had been up there for a while.
7:58
Is this just a, a, was this just a, an excuse to get in?
8:02
Talk to me about slow dive. Yeah, kind of a spur of the
8:06
moment thing. Slow Dive is a band that I had
8:10
heard of, obviously, like I remember some of their, a couple
8:13
of their songs from doing college radio back in like the
8:16
late 90s, early 2000s, but I never like really got into that.
8:21
I never like sat down and listened to an album front to
8:23
back or, or owned any of their stuff.
8:25
But like I was aware of like shoe gaze, obviously, you know,
8:29
you guys mentioned my Bloody Valentine, Sword driver, things
8:32
like that. And like that kind of wall of
8:35
distortion thing that I, that I really like.
8:38
And as I've gotten older that like, really I go to is like a
8:42
calming kind of thing, as weird as that is.
8:45
Like it's, it's like soothing, you know, like that, that just
8:48
that huge wall of distortion that they, that those bands use.
8:52
And, you know, Slow Dive is, you know, they're considered one of
8:56
the the best of that genre, you know, along with those other
8:59
bands. So, yeah, when I, when I saw
9:02
this was up, I've been obviously I love doing the show.
9:04
So I was like, yeah, let me get in on this.
9:06
And and, you know, really get a chance to sit down and and
9:10
digest him and like listen to these records and really sit
9:13
with it. So yeah, that that's why I'm
9:14
here. But yeah, I really enjoyed it.
9:16
They're a great band. So kind of similarly to to John
9:22
in that this is kind of a band that I've seen the name, you
9:27
know, 8,000,000 times and never kind of processed it.
9:32
You know, we kind of talked about this on the dive episode.
9:35
We kind of there's there's bands that have kind of always been on
9:39
my per if that I just never, I never push play.
9:43
And you know, this is this is a pretty big blind spot for me.
9:46
And, you know, I, I don't know why 'cause I, I feel like, I
9:57
feel like if this would have gotten to me, you know, roughly
10:02
the same time I kind of got into Silversun Pickups.
10:05
And I know that's like a huge, you know, time leap, but like,
10:10
that's kind of what opened my eyes to shoegaze, even though,
10:13
you know, you could argue that there's, you know, pumpkin stuff
10:16
that is shoegaze. But when when I.
10:19
Hum Hum to hum is very shoegaze adjacent.
10:22
Right. Well, and I guess what I'm what
10:24
I'm what I'm saying is like opening my eyes to the term shoe
10:29
gaze, right and and kind of, you know, yes, I like to be hum and
10:37
pumpkins and that kind of have that adjacent Ness they have.
10:42
They have things that are shoe gazy about them, but I never
10:49
knew the term. And you know, there there was a
10:54
band, I think from your area, John.
10:56
I think they were from Atlanta today, the moon, tomorrow, the
10:59
sun that came up here roughly. Well, I guess this would have
11:04
probably been around 2010. That really kind of ramped up my
11:08
my desire to kind of follow shoe what shoe gaze was.
11:12
And anybody who's been paying any kind of attention to this
11:16
show knows that I rarely ever like go backwards on my own.
11:19
Like it's it takes it took this show to, you know, make me go
11:24
backwards with bands. All this to say, you know, while
11:28
this isn't quite in my pocket, this is something that I
11:32
probably should have at least been listening to pretty much
11:35
all along because it is like it is really at worst, you know,
11:40
couple clicks off of things that I love about music anyway.
11:45
So I believe we kind of we covered everything.
11:49
Adam I I don't I mean, it's 53 songs.
11:51
I think that's everything because as you mentioned,
11:53
there's like there's the album in 89 and then the fall, the 90s
11:59
records and then what, 2-3 records sense I think I don't, I
12:04
don't remember the exact. But regardless, like with a band
12:07
like this where it's, you know, kind of these walls of sound,
12:11
it's kind of like difficult to kind of break apart.
12:15
Did you find bringing A20 to this like difficult or was this
12:19
easier than you expect? Well, funnily enough, I was
12:25
thinking it was slow going, slow dive was slow going.
12:28
I mean, I it was, it was hard, like you said, Justin.
12:33
So it's not. Yeah, it's 5 albums, three from
12:35
the first era and two, two currently from the second.
12:38
I mean, still together. I can't wait for the the next
12:41
one because they're still so, so innovative and vibrant in their
12:46
songwriting. But I found it really hard
12:49
because I think their albums are almost like I was trying to come
12:53
up with an analogy like a big block of chocolate and which
12:56
square of the chocolate do you want to sort of select?
12:59
OK, yeah. Not that they all sound the
13:02
same, but but but they all there is a there is a listening
13:05
experience. And Jamie sort of talked about
13:07
the late at night and I definitely often, you know, the
13:10
great headphones band or, or a nice quiet night, you know, with
13:17
a glass of red wine and put the record on kind of thing and you
13:22
listen to it in its entirety. So breaking up something like
13:25
that is very difficult, particularly for their albums
13:29
that like Slovaki and and the two new ones in particular for
13:35
me were were really hard. Just for a day was actually a
13:39
little bit of a discovery. I didn't know everything on
13:41
that. So and I love that too.
13:44
So I look, I found it really hard kind of, I think kind of
13:49
sat on 30 something for a while because we did take a while to
13:52
with, with it all anyway. And then when I was forced to go
13:55
into the 20s and then I actually when we locked in the day, I
13:59
went, yeah, yeah, I'm ready to go.
14:00
Then I went and had a look at my list and actually I've got 24.
14:03
I still had four songs to cut, oops, which I had to do
14:06
yesterday. And I've got them, I've got them
14:10
sort of separated out here. So when if they come up, I will
14:12
call them out. But yeah.
14:16
And my distribution is pretty even.
14:20
I get, well, not totally even there.
14:23
I think there's one album that's sort of lesser than the other,
14:27
the other 4, But outside of that, a good spread.
14:33
Sorry. Yeah, yeah, there's there's
14:34
probably one that I mean, I still like it, but you know, if
14:37
I'm I'm like giving songs for that one just to a new listener.
14:40
Probably, probably not. So.
14:43
So that one didn't get a lot, but yeah.
14:46
But I I can't wait to talk about them.
14:48
Yeah, I'll shut up now. I'll be curious to see if it's
14:50
the one that that I kind of came to the same same feeling.
14:56
I came to the same conclusion. So we'll, we'll get to that as
14:59
as it goes. Jamie, I know you're really
15:02
meticulous with this. Like you, you like to take your
15:05
time with your lists. Like as a matter of fact, you,
15:07
Josh and I are working on another one.
15:09
And he said, no, I can't not until slow dive is done.
15:11
So talk, talk to me about your how how you went through this
15:15
one this time. So getting the songs into a list
15:21
wasn't too bad, although it did take a lot of effort to not just
15:25
put all of the new songs and all of civil life in there.
15:32
Yeah, some effort to like really pick out the standouts.
15:36
I'm also, I think we're I'm on the same wavelength as the two
15:40
of you is the one album which I haven't listened to it much and
15:44
every time I've listened to it, it hasn't really grabbed my
15:46
attention. So I don't actually have any.
15:49
Like I had one song in my 30 that I ended up having, but it
15:53
didn't make my 20 just because I didn't think anything on there
15:57
stood out enough to really go. Yes, it's better than, you know,
16:00
any of the Super Laki songs or any of the more recent stuff,
16:05
especially. But then like once he gets to
16:10
that 30, like there's a couple of very clear standout songs,
16:14
but for a lot of the time it's hard for me to listen to a track
16:18
and go, I love the wall of distortion this creates and then
16:23
you listen to the next one go. I love the the sound and the
16:26
wall of distortion is creating just go.
16:28
They they all have the same thing that I really, really
16:31
like, but there's only 20 spots and I can't just put them all in
16:34
for the same reason why I like it.
16:35
So I had to really narrowed down on minor particulars that made
16:40
them different and better than one or the other.
16:43
And it really was very difficult.
16:45
Again, not because everything sounds the same, but because
16:49
there's nothing like they're not a band that necessarily often
16:53
creates a song that is completely different to there
16:59
are other songs in a very tangible way.
17:02
So yeah, it was very difficult to get it down to 20 and there
17:07
are some songs out of my 20 which I do quite like, but I
17:11
just don't think if I was to introduce it to someone new that
17:14
that would be the first one I would show them.
17:17
Yeah. So with this being a semi
17:21
discovery for you John, like does that mean a different
17:24
approach, especially with this kind of music?
17:28
Well, yeah, it's always different when like you don't
17:31
have a like a preconceived emotional attachment to all
17:36
these songs, right, 'cause like that's, that's not something
17:39
that I've, you know, lived with for like, you know, 30-40 years,
17:43
like some of these bands we do. So in that sense, it's a little
17:46
easier because I don't have the baggage associated with it and I
17:50
don't have to worry about like that.
17:53
But then again, like then like, you know, you don't feel as
17:58
confident like do I do I know that this one's not going to
18:01
like you try to get that as you're listening to try to see
18:04
which ones are going to hit you. But like, without those like
18:07
years of listening, it's, it's, it's a different experience.
18:09
But yeah, not, not too bad. Like I, I pretty much just went
18:14
with what grabbed me and tried not to make too many, you know,
18:17
corrections and adjustments, tried to just stick with like
18:20
the the first impact. But yeah, I think I had probably
18:25
25 or 26 on the first pass. So not too bad.
18:29
But we'll see how it goes. I could be all over the place.
18:32
I feel, I mean, you know, again, you know, that's where, where I
18:35
kind of always am. I'm always kind of a wild card.
18:39
So I hesitate to say like 1 record didn't find me.
18:45
I don't even think that was necessarily the case.
18:48
I think there was one record that this has already been said
18:51
a couple times that I don't know that those songs are the ones
18:55
that I would give to somebody. And I coincidentally, I felt
18:59
like that record kind of worked best as a record, like as a
19:03
whole, like it. It feels like if I'm going to
19:06
give somebody that, you know, that's you give them the just
19:10
the whole thing, you go just listen to this and you know,
19:13
we'll come back around to that as as we, we get around the
19:15
songs, but they really quickly get to what they are.
19:22
And to Jamie's point, they don't really leave what they are.
19:27
You know, there's and again, that's not to say that they all
19:30
sound the same, but like it's almost like they're all kind of
19:33
constructed the same. And so it I found it really hard
19:38
to go, OK, well, you know, this is a good reason to get rid of
19:42
this one. There were some that I just like
19:45
felt very strongly about and we'll we'll see where those
19:48
land. But like for the most part, I
19:52
think I don't even remember what I put in the chat, but it the
19:55
the number 30 jumps out at me, which seems high for a 53 song
20:00
playlist. But I feel like my cuts weren't
20:04
like as brutal. My first pass felt brutal.
20:09
Making the cuts didn't feel as brutal, so.
20:15
John, So now knowing that John and I could be wild cards here,
20:20
Adam going to this next phase, does that feel like it could be
20:24
chaos for the final say? Like how many do you think we
20:27
get through unanimously? Yeah.
20:31
I mean, four person panels, always hard to know anyway, but
20:37
but it isn't a huge discography. I think though there, I think
20:41
there are three albums where we could be because they're so
20:44
good. Like there's not.
20:45
I just don't think there's a bad song from Slovaki.
20:48
They're still titled or Everything is alive, but.
20:51
To be honest. There's no songs on those I
20:53
don't like. So, so we could, we could miss
20:57
each other, but I'm going to go 5 because I think there'll be, I
21:01
think there's some that stand out.
21:02
So I'll go 5, OK. That seems solid for a four
21:06
person panel. What do you think, Jamie?
21:10
We know famously I'm awful getting the final say.
21:14
Like I think I've done, I don't know, I think I'm talking about
21:17
programs or something. Man, I've done so many.
21:20
And then somehow Josh, out of eight of those, Josh has maybe
21:23
gotten it 7 times and just in months or something.
21:28
Or I don't know. But look, with four people, but
21:34
it's only 53 songs, I'm going to go for.
21:42
I'll be pessimistic and go for it's because of how much of A
21:48
breath they have in their their music.
21:51
I'll say this 4 is really not that pessimistic on a four
21:54
person panel with two kind of New Year's.
21:57
It's it seems pessimistic because it's lower than that
22:00
Adam's 5, but I don't think it's all that pessimistic.
22:05
John, what do you think? Yeah, 4 was going to be my
22:08
number and like I think, you know, don't feel bad.
22:11
I had like a 20 or 25 show losing streak on this thing.
22:14
So I've been doing a little bit better lately.
22:17
But I've my new thing is math. Like does the math work out to
22:22
to have it be a high number? And yes, four people, but only
22:27
53 songs. My number was going to be 4, but
22:29
I'm going to say 6. Think that the math is there.
22:32
OK, I like that. I feel like you're 6 is is spot
22:40
on because when I feel like I got 6 specific answers and I had
22:46
all of them so 6 feels good. I'll go the next step seven.
22:54
OK, Price is right that not that it really matters.
23:00
We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll maybe I'll win.
23:02
Who knows? All right, we're going to take a
23:04
quick pause and when we come back, it's time to play the
23:06
game. It's to program Jack.
23:13
And with that, the name of the game is deprogrammed.
23:16
The four of us have combed through the Slow Dive
23:19
discography and plucked out 20 songs that are now going to mash
23:22
together in an attempt to create a top 10 surrogate for you in
23:25
case you have never given Slow Dive the time of day.
23:29
And I could do the thing, but I, I don't want to do the thing.
23:33
I think I'm going to do a different thing because I was
23:37
listening to the playlist beforehand.
23:39
And when this song came up, it is an answer I got.
23:43
It feels super accessible. It is a track 1.
23:48
I feel like it is the very, you know, next evolution of the band
23:52
after the first record. Obviously, I'm going to go with
23:55
Allison. I got it.
24:00
Yes. The 90s were a good time to be
24:04
named Alice. And you had the Pixies, the Gin
24:06
Blossoms, all had songs about girls named Alice and not to
24:10
mention Elvis Costello. The the the original 1.
24:13
So yeah, you can add, you can add Slow Dive to that list.
24:16
Yeah, I have it. Yes, yes.
24:19
I mean, you know, I didn't want to give too much away because
24:21
everybody was praising souvlaki, but like that's the one.
24:27
That's the one to me. Like, I mean, there's other ones
24:31
that are, you know, in the conversation, I feel, but like
24:37
Souvlaki's the one where I can literally do the thing where I
24:40
go, every song is available, you know, I every song is going to
24:45
be in play. But this song is such a great
24:48
way to kick it off. It's accessible, it's catchy,
24:53
it's it's a good way to kind of put forward what this band does
24:57
without kind of really giving them something like overly drawn
25:01
out, which they're great at. But like if you want to kind of
25:05
open somebody's eyes to it, then you kind of want to ease them
25:08
in. And I feel like this is a great
25:10
way to ease somebody in so. Yeah, and I think lyrically the
25:14
song is probably one of the easiest to listen to as well,
25:17
because it's unlike a lot of their songs where the draining
25:20
guitars kind of make it a bit more ambiguous.
25:25
This one's very clear. And that it's kind of, Yeah,
25:28
nice and fun to listen to and has a pretty meaning to it, so
25:32
yeah. There we go.
25:34
Boom. Just like that, right, Adam?
25:40
OK, I'm actually going to style slovaki actually, because it is.
25:47
I mean, it's seen it now as one of the one of the best two guys
25:51
albums of all time and same as it is definitely a classic
25:54
album. And I'm wearing this T-shirt
25:58
actually because I I love band merch when I go and see a band
26:01
and I bought the T-shirt and that's one of my favorite
26:03
T-shirts. So I'll send you a photo later
26:05
on when the sun. Hits.
26:08
Yeah, I got it. Yes.
26:11
Yep. Hey, I didn't see that one
26:15
coming. It's like their title, it's the
26:19
number. One here is it.
26:21
I think so. All right, I don't think I
26:26
anybody answered that one. Hold on.
26:27
I'll. I can tell you in like half a
26:30
second we get this queued up and again, I don't, you know, not to
26:37
beat a dead horse, but souvlaki, all of it.
26:40
Yeah. No.
26:41
When the sun gets. Did not get, did not nobody
26:43
answer. Really.
26:44
Yeah, well. You just don't have a very good
26:46
audience. I would say, I would say it's
26:50
probably it is their biggest, you know, is a hit is the right
26:54
word, but it certainly from their first incarnation anyway,
26:58
so. Is that 1 they did a video for?
27:00
I know they did some videos. I think so.
27:05
I'm not sure, Jamie, do you know?
27:07
Yeah. I'm not too certain on that, but
27:11
I do know. No, Alice, not home, but.
27:15
I'm pretty certain that when I found Slow Dive, it might have
27:18
been the song that I found so. Well, I've got a T-shirt for the
27:24
song, so it's got a, it's done something.
27:27
I didn't say T-shirts for the other songs.
27:30
So there you go. I'm glad that I, I, you know, we
27:34
all seem to have found this, the song.
27:36
Well, I should say speak for me because John said maybe there
27:39
was a video. I found that one just because I
27:42
liked it. So I, I like that again, I
27:46
always love when a song comes up that I feel like didn't feel
27:50
obvious but apparently was obvious.
27:52
And so apparently this one was obvious.
27:54
Man, I'm into that. That means, I mean, maybe
27:57
there's more out there. One thing I wouldn't mind saying
28:01
about it is that I don't know if this makes sense, but when I
28:04
hear this song, it just sounds. It just sounds so enormous.
28:08
It does sound like the sound like it's just.
28:11
There's something about the way the timing of the the chords
28:15
work as well that makes it really sound expensive.
28:19
And I love, I love that into you guys when that when that gets
28:22
done right. And in this particular song,
28:24
it's it's neon perfect. Yeah.
28:28
There we go. No pressure, Jamie.
28:31
We're 2 for two. Look, I think I'm going to go a
28:36
different track. I'm going to say a song that
28:39
probably isn't going to get a home run, but I really want to
28:44
talk about it and it's best to do it at the very start.
28:48
And that is Golden Hair. I do not have that one.
28:56
Nope. I'm sorry, I don't have it
29:00
either, but it's a good one. That's OK, but the main reason
29:03
why I wanted to bring it up though was I remember when I
29:07
went to slow dive the very first time listening to them live at
29:12
the time, unlike now, which we're kind of lucky, they had a
29:18
lot of B side tracks that just weren't available on stream
29:23
platforms or any means to really listen to it.
29:26
And so I go to hear them live and then suddenly they play
29:31
Golden Hair live. And it was one of those magical
29:35
times where I remember I'm just standing there in the crowd
29:38
going, this sounds incredible. I've never heard it before.
29:42
And I think the one recommendation I would say to
29:47
anyone who wants to listen to Slow Dive is Golden Hair on
29:52
Spotify is all right. Golden Hair, if you listen to
29:55
their live recording of it, is significantly better because the
30:00
song goes for twice the length and it's kind of builds and
30:04
builds and builds more and more. So like the the end of the
30:09
Spotify track is building, but then imagine that but going for
30:14
another like 3 minutes or so. Like it gets much, much more
30:19
intense and high energy, which is why I really like the song.
30:25
So although the Spotify version isn't a top 20, if you're
30:29
listening to it solely on Spotify, there's a really good
30:32
live recording that you can find on YouTube which elevates the
30:36
song well and truly. This is what I love about you,
30:41
Jamie, not afraid to bring, you know, these these big whiffs,
30:47
but like having having the reasons for them.
30:49
So all right, unfortunately, Jamie is in the bin already.
30:54
John, you're up. All right, I'm going to go I'm
30:58
going to stay off of souvlaki in the early stuff.
31:01
I'm going to go to the to the most recent 1.
31:04
And I I love a good last track. Like give me, give me a good
31:08
last track to to tie everything together.
31:10
And they they do that very well. I'd pick a few of them, but
31:14
let's go with the slab off of Everything is alive.
31:18
I don't have that. One yes.
31:22
Yep. Oh, you guys all had it.
31:24
I didn't. OK.
31:25
I I don't have that one so. That was that was me saying yes
31:28
twice. Sorry.
31:29
Oh, OK. So it's a two then.
31:32
OK, still, I mean, to your point, yes, very good at last
31:38
tracks and also to the point it is one of it is the only answer
31:45
that I got that I didn't have. So somebody else, somebody else
31:49
out there agreed with you. So and had I had a little bit
31:53
more time, who knows, maybe I would have changed my list a
31:55
little. But so it's a two it's it gets
31:59
to hang around. It ain't it ain't gone yet.
32:04
All right, well, if we're going to branch out, how about I go to
32:09
the self-titled record? How about * roving?
32:16
Yes. Yes.
32:20
Yeah. Hey.
32:22
All right. I wasn't sure about that one.
32:27
I wasn't sure about that one. It was kind of it was kind of
32:30
their signature track for the when they came back as a band.
32:37
I think. So I mean that the album is
32:40
obviously very good, but Star Roving I feel like was the
32:44
signature track to go. We're back, you know?
32:47
What's interesting, what's interesting about this whole
32:50
thing, this whole layer of this band is me not knowing that, you
32:57
know, like to me it's just all these came like I, I very rarely
33:03
look at dates. I did look at when did just for
33:06
a day come out just to see when they started, but I presumed
33:12
that all these came out together now.
33:14
I mean when you right. So like when you when you think
33:18
about like this, the progression of the sound like it makes a lot
33:21
of sense, especially like the most recent effort.
33:25
But like, it's interesting that this found me because it sounds
33:30
like the old stuff, but also you can like now knowing that there
33:34
was a break there, it kind of clocks like, Oh yeah, yeah, that
33:38
is, that is a little bit more modern than, you know, the 90s
33:42
records. So I I think that's a neat
33:45
little addition to it. Absolutely.
33:50
But one thing that song, I mean, it's almost sounds like a
33:55
classic 80s or 90s indie song to me, but I like it's.
34:01
How was that sort of rift still available?
34:04
Like, you know what I mean? Like it smells like, but but it,
34:08
yeah, it's just that, yeah, it's it's a really good one.
34:13
I'm glad we got that one through.
34:14
Yeah, without question, eh, just like that.
34:18
All right, Adam, where do you want to go?
34:20
OK, I'm going to pick another one off of that, off of the
34:25
self-titled. So the return album, which I I
34:29
think possibly is one of their best songs I'm going to say, but
34:33
is Sugar the Pill? I caught that.
34:38
I don't. Yeah, I got it too.
34:40
Hey, all right, we'll take a we'll take a three there that
34:45
gives us an advantage over that 2 for later on.
34:49
Boom and boom. And you know, again, no real
34:55
reason. I just don't have it.
34:56
So take that three and Jamie. Here's another one that has a
35:04
kind of anecdote from when I had it live for a different reason.
35:08
So obviously we all know how good this Silver Lucky album was
35:13
that when I heard them live, I was kind of lightly disappointed
35:17
that I didn't hear this track live because I thought it was
35:20
really good. I was like, how could they not?
35:21
But at the time, of course, we know they're S part of the album
35:24
that they had just released was really good and that had taken a
35:27
lot of the spotlight, plus a lot of the throwbacks like golden
35:31
hair. So but then when I saw them very
35:34
recently, they did play this track and I was very happy to
35:37
hear it live. And that track is Machine Gun.
35:40
Yeah, you got it. Yes.
35:46
Yep, I got it too. It's like, it's funny because
35:52
like the song, the lyrics don't actually make a lot of sense,
35:56
but it's just that feeling you get from it.
36:00
I love Son of Sheba though, I just think when that pit comes
36:03
in. Oh yeah.
36:05
It's just great. It's just gets me every time.
36:09
I I, I agree with you. No idea Jamie, what it's what
36:12
it's about, but I love it. Like Shoe Dave in a nutshell.
36:18
Yeah, it for sure is like a vibe.
36:21
It for sure is like a feeling. And I mean it, it comes off of,
36:28
you know, Allison, it's like the next track, I think, right?
36:31
It's track 2. So it's like this nice 1-2 punch
36:35
where where it's like, yes, this is also that.
36:40
Like this is also what this band does.
36:43
Very cool. All right, machine gun in and
36:48
we're already up to four with so much wiggle room, John.
36:55
All right, I always like it when a band does a title track for
36:59
the band. Like name a name a song after
37:02
your band. So let's go with the the song
37:04
Slow Dive. I had it on my first pass but it
37:08
did not make make my final. No, sorry.
37:15
Yeah, I had it on my first pass, but it didn't make my final.
37:20
I agree it's a good track. It's only the song that they
37:23
named the band after guys. I know, right?
37:27
They named the band Slow Dive actually after a fuck no Twins.
37:30
Song. I did.
37:31
I did, yeah. All right, well, I'll stay on
37:39
that record with you, John. Just see if we can find one from
37:45
that. How about Catch the Breeze?
37:49
Yep, Nope. Catch the breeze I do have, yes.
37:55
Yep. We'll take a three, three.
37:58
I'm a sucker for a song that like, has a really heavy ending
38:03
and this track does that for me as well.
38:06
I forgot that it reminded me of My Bloody Valentine quite a lot.
38:09
This one, It's just a massive wall by the end.
38:12
Yeah, 1. Of these days, I'll get into
38:14
that band. I haven't yet.
38:16
So oh, you need to. You need to.
38:20
All right, catch the Breeze grabs 3 Adam where you want to
38:23
go. So I mentioned the start just
38:27
for a day was a bit of a discovery for me and I actually
38:30
found I really like that they fit their day bill out.
38:33
I think it's excellent and really good just to put on and
38:36
listen to. And I thought there was a real
38:42
grand entrance to, I think it's number one track, I think it
38:45
might be #1 track, the first track, Spanish Air.
38:48
Yeah, I got it. That was in my first pass I
38:53
think like. Yeah.
38:58
No, I don't have it. I think I agree just for days of
39:03
really good track. My problem was is that there the
39:08
Valaki album and self-titled album and even the most recent
39:12
album was just too good and a lot of the Just for a Day songs
39:17
unfortunately pushed down my list.
39:22
Yeah, yeah. Fair enough.
39:24
Yeah. All right, so Spanish Air gets
39:27
to and hanging on by a thread here.
39:30
Still kind of in the conversation, Jamie.
39:37
I'm going to go with the track that stood out to me the most
39:41
out of their first, the most recent album, sorry, because
39:44
when I like the most recent album was good, but when I heard
39:47
this track, I was like, Oh yeah, this is Slide I and that is
39:52
there's track change to a cloud. I don't have that.
40:00
No, I don't have it either, sorry.
40:04
Found to happen, bound to happen again.
40:07
I can say I I do love a track that just is a very heavy kind
40:15
of instrumental tune and chained to a cloud just buzz that with
40:20
simple and a really nice gentle song to listen to.
40:27
All right, John. All right, I mentioned last
40:33
tracks. Let's go back to Souflaki.
40:36
How about dagger? Yes.
40:42
No, no, no. And I didn't, but just because I
40:46
couldn't take everything, you know?
40:49
That was that was one of my half cuffs, unfortunately.
40:54
Like I think I remember hearing it live when they played and I
40:58
was like, Oh yeah. And if you had asked me before
41:03
their recent album, maybe it would have made it into my 30.
41:07
Like, not a bad track. It's just I don't think it's the
41:09
top 20, especially with the most recent album.
41:13
OK, background to me. I'll try something off of
41:21
everything as live. Let's see if we can find
41:24
something here. How about shanty?
41:28
Yep, Absolutely, absolutely love that song.
41:32
Yeah. Hey, I'm going to assume that
41:39
song. This is a really good first
41:42
first child the album. Great.
41:43
Oh, that's everybody, right? Yeah, yeah, that's that's four.
41:47
And there's there's a cocktail song that starts very similar.
41:51
I forgot to go back and find out which one it was, but it's
41:55
because they're definitely involved.
41:57
I believe I got 2 twins, but I just I've got this one on vinyl.
42:00
I've got Everything is a love on vinyl and I've just it's
42:03
probably one of my most listened to records.
42:07
I'll just keep putting it. I'll put it on this morning.
42:09
Just a great, you know, record and that first, yeah, first
42:14
song. It's just awesome.
42:17
It so when this album started playing, I kind of assumed that
42:24
this was the comeback album because this album is a slight
42:30
bit different and you know, obviously in hindsight, like I
42:36
can hear the difference in the self-titled one as well.
42:39
But like, I don't know, something about this one felt
42:45
like a little bit more modern, like kind of pushing the
42:48
envelope of of what what we're going to do going forward.
42:52
So like this, the immediacy of this was like, OK, yeah, I need
42:57
this. So all right, boom.
42:59
Shanty will get us up to five. Yeah, Adam's five with.
43:05
I mean, I think I still have like half of my list available
43:10
so I might be in the hot seat fellas all.
43:15
Right, you could be. All right, Adam.
43:20
OK, yeah, I I know what you mean by that, Justin.
43:24
I'm going to stay on Everything is Alive because I was going to
43:27
go you where you went was where I was going to go.
43:30
So I'm going to stay on there because each album they've done
43:34
to, I mean, I know there's the same there is someone could say
43:38
there's the sameness to slow dive, but the each album is
43:40
quite different. And the leap from slow dive
43:43
self-titled to Everything is Alive was so exciting to me.
43:46
Like just where they went. And I love the fact that they
43:51
just put out on this album a great pop song.
43:55
And that's kisses. I got it.
43:57
I was going to say yeah. It's just a great simple pop
44:01
song. I got it, yeah.
44:04
I got it. No way.
44:07
OK. Yeah, that's the thing to
44:10
describe Kisses though. It's like it is a pop song.
44:14
It is really like if Slow Dive tried to do a pop music.
44:18
Yeah, totally. It's.
44:19
The most radio friendly tune that they have created.
44:24
I can't. Yep.
44:25
Was that four? We got four there, didn't we?
44:28
Oh, wow. OK.
44:30
I really was pessimistic a just. Like that, we're at John 6.
44:39
These. I think we've still got a few
44:40
too anyway. Yeah.
44:44
Hold on, what's the math? Yeah.
44:48
All right, so kisses gets in. Boom.
44:53
And that brings us to you, Jamie.
44:56
I'm going to go also touch on something that was a bit
45:00
different for slow dive track, but in a good way.
45:05
And the reason why I like this song is it's late.
45:10
I don't have prominent drums very often, but this song does
45:14
and it's it's a standout for I think that reason.
45:17
And that's a song no longer making time.
45:20
Yeah, I got it. No.
45:25
No, sorry. We'll take that too, but two
45:30
gets to. Hand assuming people listen to
45:32
it like you hear that sort of drum dump at the start of the
45:35
track and throughout the whole track.
45:37
Like usually it's not that the songs don't have drums, but
45:40
they're not usually that prominent in a track like this
45:43
song. I mean, I didn't break break it
45:47
down, but I bet you, if anything, that's probably what
45:51
stood out to me. I didn't.
45:53
I didn't write anything. One of these days, I'll do that.
45:57
All right, John. Let's go back to the beginning.
46:03
How about Celia's dream? Yeah, I got it.
46:09
Yes. That was cut out of my
46:12
shortlist. Oh, sorry, we'll.
46:15
Take that three though, that's a good spot for a three.
46:19
We need them threes, although the threes will eventually kill
46:25
these twos, so who knows? All right, back around to me.
46:35
We got 3 threes and six fours. Come on computer, get with the
46:40
program or don't. Whatever man, it's fine.
46:45
Make me look a fool. I feel like there's two out here
46:55
that that that could be Homer's still, but who knows, right?
47:03
I guess no time like the present to find out.
47:09
How about 40 days? Yep.
47:17
No. Yes, OK.
47:20
I'll take that 3. That probably just kind of a
47:25
process of you can't take everything, Adam.
47:29
Totally, Yeah. I mean, I think, I think I had
47:33
it really every time. I'm still Bucky on my list and
47:36
the first time it's like, come on, you can't do that.
47:40
They're more than one album. But but I've got that.
47:43
I just. Yeah, it's a great song.
47:45
So you wouldn't get much argument from me.
47:47
OK. We'll take the three there.
47:50
All right, Adam. So we haven't talked about this
47:54
one yet, but I I want to go there.
47:56
So Pygmalion, which is probably the the black sheep of the
48:01
family in terms of the five albums, but and it's the one
48:04
that what's the scene to it? It's probably more of an it's an
48:08
ambient album more so than two guys album.
48:13
And it's it's when the IT was the beginning of the end for
48:17
their first incarnation, because I think they had, I think Neil
48:24
was wanting to go in slightly different musical direction at
48:26
the time. And it, it bombed.
48:29
It bombed. So because Slovaki was was a was
48:32
a indie hit in the UK at the time.
48:35
And then Pygmalion was nowhere. But I think it's still a really
48:39
good album and deserves some representation.
48:43
Yeah. Or some discussion.
48:44
So song, first song, Ruti, I love it.
48:49
I think it's just gets in your head and so I've chose that one.
48:54
I. Do I?
48:55
Do not have that one. I do.
49:00
I don't a. 2 Not bad for what is seemingly very obviously the one
49:07
that we were all talking about at the beginning.
49:10
Yeah, yeah. All right, Jamie.
49:18
OK, I think I'll go for we'll go back to slow dive album and go
49:30
for probably the track with the highest BPM that they have and
49:35
that's don't know why. I got it.
49:41
Yes, that's yeah, I do. That's one of my favorite songs,
49:45
Jamie. Yeah, it's just so hot.
49:49
It's like, again, it's very high energy for what it is until it
49:53
gets to the chorus. It really flows down and gets
49:55
dreamy. Gorgeous guitars.
49:58
So just beautiful, yeah. Yeah.
50:02
I think we just eliminated all these twos.
50:08
All right, just watch it, John. Yeah, I'll go back to Pygmalion.
50:16
To no one's surprised, I'm going to pick the closing track.
50:17
How about all of us? No.
50:22
No sorry can't help you mate all.
50:27
Right. Well, I'll stay there with you
50:29
guys because I've got a track from that record.
50:35
I also would like to take this point like, you know, I think
50:38
it's a good record. And I think to your point, Adam,
50:41
I think, I think maybe subconsciously my brain was
50:48
putting together that this was it because it is less shoegazy.
50:53
And I, I, I, I don't know that I tracked it in real time, but I,
50:59
I, I do also think that it because it's ambient.
51:02
I feel like that's what made it work more as a record as opposed
51:05
to like trying to break things out.
51:07
So that being said, I have one track from that record, Blue
51:12
Skyed and clear. No.
51:17
No. Not.
51:19
Yeah. I've still got one left, but not
51:21
that one. OK.
51:23
Right into the bin it goes, And Adam.
51:28
OK, so this is I want to go to Everything is Alive Again and a
51:35
song that up until preparing for this I used to think in my head
51:39
was called Alfie, but it's actually a lot.
51:43
Yeah, I got it. I don't it's on a shortlist but.
51:51
I got it. That's a three.
51:53
Yeah, good. Yeah, yeah.
51:58
Just the gorgeous guitars again, like just to feel like they're
52:02
really perfecting that kind of lush layering of guitars on that
52:08
album. Boom.
52:12
All right, Jane. I'll go with with this track
52:21
from We'll go back to the Civil Laki album and this track for
52:27
some reason just reminds me of Rashling Clank soundtrack if
52:32
that makes any sense. But it's the track Civil Laki
52:36
Space Station. Yeah, I got it.
52:40
Yes, great. Great song 07.
52:43
There you go. Oh, no, yeah.
52:46
Can someone please explain to me like what this song's about
52:49
because I do not know what it's about.
52:53
No. Wish I could.
52:55
Man, it's got a space station where you get little cuts of
52:57
meat like in like little hero Greek cuts of meat, right?
53:01
Maybe. I'm taking it very literally,
53:04
right? It makes me feel like I'm on a
53:06
spaceship or like, again, playing Ratchet and Clank, it
53:09
feels like a trap would be played there but with a lot more
53:13
distortion. It's just weird.
53:16
You do feel like you're in space.
53:19
The name makes sense, I just do not know what it's about.
53:22
I think Major Tom might have floated past, I'm not sure, but
53:25
anyway. Possibly.
53:28
Yeah. All right, just like that, we're
53:33
at 7, John. All right, how about see I've
53:40
only got 4 left? How about slow MO?
53:42
Yeah, I got it. Yep.
53:46
Yes. Hey, thank you.
53:47
Wow, get that off of me. We got eight, yeah.
53:53
We did. Yeah.
53:55
We're. Gonna you know, there might be a
53:59
couple. Was like Lomo is a great track
54:03
that like it was obviously to the self-titled album.
54:08
It was the introductory track that they played when they
54:10
played live for the first time in 20 years.
54:13
You know, it really is a good way to announce that they were
54:16
back. That was the first song that got
54:21
me to go back because of, you know, I listened to their new
54:24
album, read of reviews that it was really good.
54:26
So I've time to jump into a slow dive now.
54:28
Listen to it. That song and went, oh, my God,
54:31
this is massively my my thing, you know, so.
54:37
And I haven't turned back from there, of course.
54:39
But yeah, that it's a great song.
54:41
Yeah. Yeah.
54:43
All right, so let's see 1/2 three.
54:47
I only have 3 left, so I'm just going to dump out.
54:49
And because that's that's seems to be where we're at, I chose
54:55
this one specifically Avalyn 2. No, I don't have it.
55:03
I was toying between Evelyn one and Two for a period before they
55:08
both just dropped off. I, I think I rated Evelyn One
55:12
higher because I think it was short enough to be a bit more
55:18
relevant, I guess in a way. But again, one of those tracks
55:22
that they played live, there was no recording when they first
55:26
came back and then when they released it was like, great.
55:28
I'm so glad I can actually re listen to it again.
55:32
For the record, I got an answer. The person just said Evelyn, so
55:36
I assume they must have meant the two together.
55:39
But all right, Evelyn, two goes in the bin, I'll say on that
55:45
same record. How about shine?
55:49
No. OK.
55:51
And then last but not least, off of everything is a live
55:55
Andalucia plays No no. No Great song, man.
56:03
Bit like right at the end there. OK.
56:06
All right, Adam, whatever you got left.
56:12
Yeah, so on. Just for a day.
56:14
I've got waves. Yes.
56:17
Great track, don't have it. OK, so that's two was it?
56:23
Yep, Yep. On Slovakia I've got Here she
56:27
comes. Don't have that one, no.
56:31
This is really mellow and sad, which I I really like.
56:37
On Pygmalion I had visions of LA.
56:42
No. Yep, and then I've got 1 left on
56:47
slow dive, self-titled, no longer making time.
56:52
Oh hang on, we've already got that, haven't we?
56:54
Yeah, yeah, sorry, I've already. Oh, does that make that a three?
56:59
Sorry. No worries, but that does take
57:02
it for a two or three. Yeah, whoops.
57:06
Sorry, my bad on that. So that's me out now, yeah.
57:09
All. Right.
57:12
Technically, Jamie, you can make a couple more twos here.
57:16
We'll see how we go. So I've got everyone knows which
57:23
is in my mind the Take Me to America song from them.
57:27
Nope. And then I've got from the
57:34
recent album Prayer Remembered. Nope.
57:39
Again, I like it just because it's an instrumental from
57:45
Zuvalaki. I've got melon yellow.
57:49
Nope. I've got also from just for day
57:54
primal. No.
57:58
And then finally sing. No.
58:05
All right, cool. Primal.
58:06
Primal was very close for me. Primal was very close for me.
58:10
It was, yeah. I just couldn't squeeze it in.
58:14
Yeah, I think went up in my ranks because it was has that
58:20
really big ending again that becomes brooding and dramatic.
58:24
Totally. Yeah, all.
58:26
Right my my last two are Morning Rise and Miranda.
58:31
Morning Rise. Oh yeah, they're both good too.
58:33
Morning Rise. What's Miranda on?
58:38
Just for a day, isn't it? Hang on.
58:41
Pygmalion. There it is.
58:42
Oh, it's on Pygmalion. Pygmalion, yeah.
58:45
All right, we covered a lot of ground.
58:49
Hold on, let me shift this so I can get a semi official number
58:54
here. Boom.
58:57
Assuming we got everything. 37 It looks like we covered.
59:02
Yep, 37 out of the 53. We covered almost the entirety
59:07
of everything as a live skin in the game, being the only thing
59:10
we didn't play. Same thing for Savlaki,
59:13
Altogether is the only one we didn't play.
59:16
We also covered almost the entirety of the self-titled
59:20
record, Go Get It and Falling Ashes, the only ones that did
59:22
not come up today. So I think it's clear.
59:25
So I had falling ashes and skin of the game with just outside.
59:29
There were two of my in the 24. I had both of those just
59:33
outside. Yeah, too.
59:35
Too little too late now, friend. Yeah.
59:37
Yeah, I know, but we could have almost had the whole album.
59:39
But anyway. All right, so we got 8, which
59:42
means none of us are going to win, which I'm, I'm a OK with
59:45
that, but let's run down what we've got already.
59:48
Allison when the sun hits * roving machine gun shanty kisses
59:52
souvlaki space station. That's a lot harder to say this
59:55
time around for some reason. And slow MO.
59:59
Let's run down these threes first.
1:00:02
I suppose we got sugar for the pill.
1:00:04
Catch the breeze. Celia's dream 40 days Don't know
1:00:08
why. A life.
1:00:12
And no longer making time is the one that's kind of jumping out
1:00:16
at you here, Adam, I'm. Just thinking about album
1:00:21
representation, but those three albums are quite well
1:00:24
represented at the moment. Are there 3 main albums?
1:00:27
Yeah, 2, two and four. So OK, so I'm going to forget
1:00:35
about an album Rep for a second. I just picked what like my gut
1:00:39
says here and I just think it's got we got to have sugar the
1:00:43
pill. Just love that song all.
1:00:46
Right, Jamie, you guys were all three had sugar the pill.
1:00:51
I was the odd man out. I mean, obviously I can be an
1:00:55
easy push over here on unless somebody's really.
1:01:01
If somebody's I definitely am not against Sugar for the Pill.
1:01:05
I'm just looking at our tracks that are definitely in and we
1:01:10
don't have any just for a Day songs.
1:01:13
And yeah, the highest Just for a Day song was Catch the Breeze.
1:01:18
Like it's an album that definitely is something that
1:01:21
people would should listen to once they get into slow dive,
1:01:25
but and so it's not like someone would miss it.
1:01:29
This. It's actually actually, to be
1:01:31
honest, it's probably not too hard to miss, but I think if we
1:01:34
put catch the phrase in the list, it would.
1:01:38
Real silly. Dream too, yeah.
1:01:41
That's why I agree with you. We should put one of them in.
1:01:43
Sorry, I forgot. Yeah, we should put one of them
1:01:45
in for sure. Yeah, silly stream was not in my
1:01:48
20. It was like my 23rd track or
1:01:51
something. But just catch the braids with
1:01:56
my #4 track. Overall though, I very much have
1:02:02
think that that's the one that we should go in, but you know,
1:02:05
happy to be told otherwise. I had both SO.
1:02:13
Me, me too. Right.
1:02:15
So, all right, so let's ask this question.
1:02:19
Is it sugar for the pill and then one of these just for a day
1:02:23
tracks? Are we in agreement, and at
1:02:25
least that far. Sugar for the.
1:02:30
Pill and or dagger, but it doesn't look like that's going
1:02:33
to happen. Flat flab is good, Good Dagger
1:02:36
is really good, but it's just sugar for the Pill is a good
1:02:42
introductory track. And I know it's a pretty big
1:02:48
track for them because, and I've mentioned it before the another
1:02:53
podcast called what's it called? Song Exploiter had they used
1:03:02
this track when they were talking about it.
1:03:07
So, you know, it's a prominent track which I think deserves a
1:03:11
spot in the list. All right, so let's let's get
1:03:15
sugar for the pill in there. And so then the conversation is
1:03:19
between catch the breeze in Celia's dream.
1:03:22
Do you have like an you had them both as well, Adam?
1:03:24
Do you have an inclination either way?
1:03:30
Not a not a strong one, but I think maybe catch the breeze by
1:03:34
by a nose maybe. OK, but they're both good.
1:03:38
I'll be happy with either. Because looking at this, it's
1:03:40
literally the difference is Jamie had catch the breeze, John
1:03:43
had Celia's dream. So I I think you know how hard
1:03:51
pressed against catch the breeze are you John I?
1:03:55
Mean 68% like I would I would love I I I do prefer Celia's
1:04:02
dream, but I'm not going to put up a huge think about it if they
1:04:07
if I'm in the minority. So here's here's what I'll put
1:04:10
the little little bit of extra weight of catch the breeze.
1:04:15
It is one of the answers that I got.
1:04:17
I got like, I don't know, a handful, 10 or so.
1:04:20
Catch the breeze is one of them. Celia's dream was not so.
1:04:24
Well, my Celia's dream people out there, I'm with you for the
1:04:27
record. All right, so let's grab catch
1:04:31
the breeze. No need to sweat over this
1:04:34
because I think we've got a killer list here.
1:04:35
So let me read this 10 down and then you know not then we'll do
1:04:40
the sweating. All right, so we've got Allison
1:04:42
when the sun hits * roving machine gun shanty kisses,
1:04:46
souvaki space station slow MO sugar for the pill Catch the
1:04:49
breeze. A lot of s s, a lot of s s that
1:04:53
I'm saying into a microphone right now.
1:04:56
Adam, when I read those 10 down, is there one that's kind of
1:04:59
jumping out at at you as the one?
1:05:04
I'm just hang on. Yeah, I've got out of my 26 of
1:05:08
them. Start with S There you go.
1:05:12
The one that's jumping out for me is.
1:05:14
It's not necessarily my favorite song now because I've listened
1:05:18
to them so much, but it was right.
1:05:20
It was for a long time. And I'm wearing the T-shirt and
1:05:23
that is when the sun hits. OK.
1:05:25
I think it's the one that stands a little bit above for me.
1:05:32
What do you think, Jamie? When the Sun hits, if I was
1:05:39
going to say to someone one track that I think they should
1:05:43
listen to, I wouldn't provide anything from their self-titled
1:05:49
album. So I don't think I wouldn't
1:05:53
provide anything from their recent album either.
1:05:56
Everything is alive and I probably wouldn't provide
1:06:00
anything from Just for a Day. They would definitely be a civil
1:06:04
lucky track. And then out of the civil lucky
1:06:09
tracks, there's three that would come to my mind as potentials,
1:06:13
Machine Gun, Allison and When the Sun Hits.
1:06:16
And if I'm trying to go, what has the greatest appeal to show
1:06:21
this is slow dive. As much as I really like Machine
1:06:26
Gun is a deep dive. You'll find it.
1:06:29
Allison is really, really good and pretty, but if I want
1:06:33
someone to go and understand what slate I've is, it has to be
1:06:37
when the sun hits. It's a pretty hard hitting
1:06:41
analysis. What do you think, John?
1:06:44
Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, Allison would be the obvious
1:06:48
choice, but I kind of like, you know, going with with something
1:06:52
all different. I like when the sun hits too.
1:06:53
I'm OK with that. All right, well, let's let's
1:06:56
grab when the sun hits. That'll be our number one then.
1:06:59
And I I think the point of, you know, when it came up the, you
1:07:06
know, it's almost that same of course discussion.
1:07:09
I love when I found an of course on accident.
1:07:13
And so that to me is what when the sun hits is and clearly I
1:07:20
was, I was right to have it wrong to not think it was a home
1:07:24
run. So when the sun Hits is going to
1:07:27
be our number one. I'll run this down one last go
1:07:29
and we will wrap her on up. As mentioned, when the sun hits
1:07:34
is #1 Allison star roving machine gun, Shanty kisses,
1:07:39
Souvlaki, Space Station, Slow MO and Sugar for the pill.
1:07:45
And last but not least, Catch the Breeze rounds out our 10.
1:07:49
And with that, let's let When the Sun Hits, get a moment in
1:07:53
the sun. There we go.
1:08:04
We have done it. We have turned you into slow
1:08:06
dime fans and you're very welcome for that.
1:08:08
I mean, you know, I, I don't say that we did the work lately.
1:08:12
I'm just saying we we literally just come through everything for
1:08:16
you and made a list that all you have to do is listen to.
1:08:19
So you're very welcome for that. I don't care if that sounds
1:08:22
cocky because we literally just did that and you heard how we
1:08:25
got there. So come on board.
1:08:29
It's it's nice on on this slow dive spaceship where we eat
1:08:35
souvlaki. I don't know.
1:08:38
So check it out. You're into you're into this
1:08:40
band now, but maybe you think that we got songs wrong.
1:08:44
That's, you know, that's possible.
1:08:47
You can now comment on Spotify and say, hey, why didn't you
1:08:52
have this song? And I mean, you heard why we
1:08:56
didn't have this song, but I can we can talk about the song.

I can comment back on Spotify. That's a neat new little feature
1:09:03
that they have on Spotify. But if you're going to do that,
1:09:07
please consider giving us a five star rating.
1:09:10
It does help us get seen in the algorithm.
1:09:13
And now you can also they have a messaging on Spotify.
1:09:17
So you can message our our episode to somebody on Spotify
1:09:22
directly on Spotify. Would very much appreciate that.
1:09:25
If you're listening on Apple podcast, the same thing goes.
1:09:28
A five star rating goes a long way, But please leave a review
1:09:31
if you're going to do that. Maybe it's just hey, you're slow
1:09:35
dive list rules or hey, these are the songs I would have done.
1:09:40
But like I said, if you're going to do that, five stars helps us
1:09:42
a great deal. Would appreciate that.
1:09:43
Of course, best way to help us is to share.
1:09:46
Would would love for that, but maybe you've got, you know, a
1:09:50
dollar a month that's kind of just burning a hole in your
1:09:53
pocket. Lucky you.
1:09:55
I guess if you would be so kind as to consider pledging to our
1:10:00
patreonpatreon.com/show. Hi Justin.
1:10:02
It is a dollar a month to get in the door.
1:10:05
It gets you deprogrammed before the rest of the world.
1:10:07
The after the fact, I just realized that they reinstated
1:10:11
and changed how you do live videos on there.
1:10:14
So I'm going to probably be doing some live video things and
1:10:18
I do want to put this out there because I'm going to probably
1:10:21
put it behind the pay wall. I am looking to start to try to
1:10:25
grow deprogrammed into a daily pod, which would include 4
1:10:30
episodes a week that are just a music discussion.
1:10:34
So more on that as it comes like as I developed the ideas and and
1:10:38
how we we go about it. But just saying, if you'd like
1:10:42
to be on the ground floor, getting in on the Patreon is
1:10:44
probably the best way to do that.
1:10:46
And it only cost a dollar a month and is super helpful to
1:10:49
me. But also your, your pledge will
1:10:52
get you access to our Discord server.
1:10:55
It gives you an automatic invite.
1:10:57
Come on in there and hang out and what have you.
1:10:59
If you go the extra mile, go, you know, $5 a month.
1:11:02
It does get you to some extra channels where we kind of, you
1:11:05
know, talk about ideas and you know, different listening, you
1:11:11
know, listening channels, stuff like that.
1:11:14
But hey, man, maybe you just want to join the Discord.
1:11:17
That's fine. It's Legion stupid discord.
1:11:19
It is free, of course. Come on in.
1:11:22
We're growing a tree. We're counting.
1:11:24
There is a deprogram channel where you can talk about the
1:11:26
show. There is also a music league
1:11:28
channel where there's definitely a bunch of music leagues going
1:11:31
around where you can join a music league.
1:11:32
There is a panelist channel that you can hop in on and say, hey,
1:11:37
I'd like to talk about this band because yes, if you want to, you
1:11:40
want to come play the game. We're we'd love to have you
1:11:43
aboard all that. As mentioned, we are a podcast
1:11:46
sharing is caring. Tell somebody that you listen to
1:11:50
the show, please. Hey, I listen to be programmed
1:11:51
and you should too. And with that slow dive, learn
1:11:54
them and love them people. We'll see you next week.
1:11:56
Goodbye.
