Episode Transcript
[00:00:05] Speaker A: Hey, everyone. Welcome to what I listened to this week. Back for another episode. It's been a minute, but we're here. We have a full panel.
Hi, everyone, it's Melanie. Hey, it's Sergio.
[00:00:16] Speaker B: What's up?
[00:00:16] Speaker A: It's Eric. It's John.
[00:00:18] Speaker C: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[00:00:20] Speaker A: As always, we'll start with a round of new and good.
I'm going to toss it to John first. What's new and good?
[00:00:27] Speaker C: Oh, it's like. Oh, it's like a bean ball.
Let me think.
Well, let's see. To do a quick story, I had a spider that lived on the passenger side rearview mirror of my truck all summer long.
And sometimes I'd be going 75 miles an hour and you could see it holding onto the web, flapping around in the breeze like crazy.
[00:00:54] Speaker A: It trumped the story of your new grandbaby last time, if you remember.
[00:00:56] Speaker C: Oh, that's right, that's right. But this time the spider made it on a 500 mile road trip.
And while it was camping, it ate a yellow jacket which. So he had my back.
I brought it to 11,000ft and it was cold and I thought, oh my God, my spider's gonna die. And it didn't die. And then I brought back to Boulder, made it all the way back, so about 500 miles. And then I was feeding him. First time flies by hand.
Like I would smack a fly with the fly swatter and I'd run out, throw it in its web and it would. And I have it on video.
We could link it and the spider would race out and grab it and he was huge at this point.
But right now he's missing. So if anybody sees on the spider.
[00:01:44] Speaker B: I don't know, it's like in your shirt or something.
[00:01:47] Speaker C: That might be. Yeah, I was going to put him in guest bedroom, you know, for the winter, but I don't know.
But anyway though, I feel proud to have kept a spider in my Life for about nine, 10 weeks or something.
[00:02:02] Speaker A: Well, if anybody sees Boris, tell him.
[00:02:04] Speaker C: No, it's Boz.
[00:02:05] Speaker A: Oh, it's Boss.
[00:02:06] Speaker C: Big old spider.
[00:02:08] Speaker A: That's right. Big old spider. That's right.
[00:02:10] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:02:11] Speaker A: Not Boris.
[00:02:11] Speaker B: Boss.
[00:02:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
My whole summer's been consumed by Boss.
[00:02:16] Speaker A: Oh my God. And your, and your grandbaby.
[00:02:18] Speaker C: Oh yeah, the grandbaby.
[00:02:22] Speaker A: I think we need a podcast or miniseries on Boz.
[00:02:26] Speaker C: Baz is spider. Yeah, yeah, Cartoons.
[00:02:31] Speaker A: Wow. Man, what a saga. Roller coaster.
Eric, what's new and good?
[00:02:37] Speaker D: My friends in Texas who are our fans and always look forward to new episode, are finally putting the house on the market and moving to New Mexico. They found a house in Silver City, New Mexico.
[00:02:49] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:02:49] Speaker D: And they're going to be moving as soon as they can get rid of their house in Texas.
[00:02:54] Speaker A: Sweet.
[00:02:55] Speaker D: Yeah. So they're looking forward to it in a new place.
The woman of the duo is an incredible, incredible, incredible cook.
And she's getting finally the best kitchen that she's ever had and really looking forward to it.
And all I know about the new house is it's got a.
It's on a hillside and it's got a 270 degree view.
[00:03:20] Speaker A: Oh my gosh.
[00:03:21] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:03:21] Speaker A: That sounds amazing.
[00:03:22] Speaker D: Yeah. So looking forward to that. Give me an excuse to go to New Mexico.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean like anybody needs an excuse to go to New Mexico, but that's. That's great. Some motivation. Love it.
Cool. Well, congrats to your friends, congrats to our fans in Texas on the new house.
Sergio, what's new and good?
[00:03:42] Speaker D: Nothing.
[00:03:44] Speaker B: Nothing's new and good.
[00:03:46] Speaker D: Nothing's good.
[00:03:47] Speaker C: How about what's just new?
[00:03:49] Speaker B: What's just new?
[00:03:50] Speaker C: What new just came down the pike?
I. I did not think came to you.
[00:03:55] Speaker D: Huh?
[00:03:57] Speaker C: Was there a new b? New and bad.
[00:03:59] Speaker B: New and bad.
New and good.
[00:04:02] Speaker E: Let's see.
[00:04:03] Speaker C: New and unknown.
[00:04:04] Speaker B: I've been wanting to play this video game that came out last year for a while. It's called Alan Wake 2. It's. I saved it because it's October.
It's a horror game and you start off by playing as an FBI agent and you enter your mind palace as you collect clues to like piece all this stuff together to try to solve a murder.
That's pretty much all that's even good.
[00:04:30] Speaker E: Cool.
[00:04:32] Speaker B: Let's get an interview.
[00:04:34] Speaker A: Something.
You got to take the small wins. It's a small one in life.
I am feeling similar to Sergio.
Don't really have a lot of new and good. What is new is my dog has a new knee.
[00:04:49] Speaker E: What?
[00:04:49] Speaker A: She had tplo surgery last week. So she has a brand new leg configuration which is not good per se because it's a four month recovery for her and she's pretty hobbled at the moment. But. But what is good, what will hopefully be good long term is that she will no longer have any problems with that leg.
[00:05:12] Speaker C: But is she going to be a problem taking her through the tsa like at the airports with the metal as a comfort dog?
[00:05:21] Speaker A: I don't know what the plate is made out of. It might be metal. I actually don't know. I feel like these days they put fake bone, but it is a plate on her leg. So basically they cut the tibia and then, like, reconfigure the leg. So the angle, like her leg was at a 25 degree angle or something, and now it's at a 5 degree angle. And they use the plate to, like, secure it at the new angle.
[00:05:45] Speaker D: Crazy.
[00:05:46] Speaker A: She has a gnarly, like, most, like, Halloween appropriate scar on her leg.
[00:05:51] Speaker C: She got a cone.
[00:05:53] Speaker A: She does, but we don't use it. She uses what's called a lick sleeve, and it's like a little pair of half sweatpants.
But it's like, it basically prevents her from. Yeah. Attacking the wound, but she doesn't have to wear a cone. We tried it, and she's useless in it. So.
Yeah. So not good, really. But hopefully in the long term it'll be good. But it is a new thing.
[00:06:16] Speaker C: Lots of pt.
[00:06:17] Speaker A: We can do PT if we want to when she's healing, but it's, like, optional. I don't really know what dog PT is. I wonder what is. We can also do acupuncture, too, but. Whoa, it sounds expensive and like, I don't understand as somebody who can, like, communicate with words, who has done pt? I don't understand how a dog could do that.
[00:06:41] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:06:42] Speaker A: Like, I've done PT and I'm like, how do you do this with an animal?
[00:06:45] Speaker B: No, don't give that. Don't do that.
[00:06:47] Speaker A: Give him treats.
[00:06:48] Speaker E: Come back here.
[00:06:49] Speaker C: Check your range of motion treat.
[00:06:50] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I would imagine. Yeah, it's probably a lot of range of motion stuff, but it's just. I don't know. But yeah, anyway, that's basically my life right now.
Anyway. Well, let's get into the music since.
Yeah, I think we need it today.
What's happening? What's up first? We've got a YouTube video up first.
[00:07:08] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. YouTube videos up first.
I think the audio will come through. I don't know if we want to huddle around and watch this video or not.
I'll just put it in the center of the table and.
All right. So it's twen, twen.
I don't have a speech impediment.
This is twen, twen. All caps. Very trendy. The name of the song is called All Nighter. This is apparently the official music video.
And here we go.
[00:08:12] Speaker A: I don't want to go.
And it's the background of the economy.
[00:08:21] Speaker E: I.
[00:08:30] Speaker F: Don'T want to come back.
[00:08:33] Speaker A: Pick me up.
I don't want to go.
[00:09:09] Speaker E: Anytime.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: I don't want to come back. Now I don't want to go.
Sa.
[00:10:49] Speaker E: Baby.
[00:10:49] Speaker A: Always Christmas.
[00:11:59] Speaker D: Cool.
[00:12:00] Speaker A: Twin.
[00:12:00] Speaker D: Twin.
[00:12:02] Speaker A: Do you know if that's, like, actually how it's pronounced, or is it.
[00:12:04] Speaker C: No, I don't.
[00:12:05] Speaker A: Oh, you don't know.
[00:12:05] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:12:08] Speaker A: I feel like this sounds like.
First of all, I liked it. I mean, I was kind of dancing along with it the whole time. I feel like it's this genre of music that I hear so much lately, and I don't really know how to catalog it, but it's kind of like.
It reminded me a little bit of War on Drugs mixed with Wet Leg.
If Wetleg could sing better and War on Drugs was doing the backing track is what I kind of think of. But I, like, think of it as, like, stoner pop is like, how is. I'm just. I'm trying to think of, like, how to catal.
[00:12:42] Speaker C: Because I don't really know what genre is born.
[00:12:44] Speaker A: I don't know, like, what, but there's. There. I'm not saying this isn't unique, but, like, there's a lot of music out there right now that, like, kind of has the sound that's sort of like.
Like whatever effects they're using. It's like, kind of echoey. It feels like they're singing in a cloud or a haze, depending on how you think about it. But, like, I don't know. I don't know what it is, but that's sort of what came to mind is I was like, huh, this has that.
Is this newer or is it.
[00:13:09] Speaker C: This is like six weeks old.
[00:13:10] Speaker A: Yeah, okay. Yeah. I just feel like there's a lot of that coming out right now, and I wonder what that. What that is. What is that about, like, our current culture? That is kind of funny.
[00:13:21] Speaker C: I saw that it was described as glam.
[00:13:24] Speaker A: Glam.
[00:13:25] Speaker D: Glam.
[00:13:25] Speaker E: Glam.
[00:13:26] Speaker A: Like glam rock?
[00:13:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
Yeah. I don't know.
[00:13:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know about that.
[00:13:32] Speaker B: Glam rock for stoners, maybe.
[00:13:34] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I would love to kind of hear how other people.
How other folks would catego. Categorize it because I feel like there's this, like. Yeah, this. This weird sub genre. Not weird, but the sub genre that's been producing more lately. And I can't quite put my finger on, like, what it is.
[00:13:52] Speaker D: Don't know. I liked was fun and lively, and that's all I got to say. I have no idea about the genre, but I could make up some weird name for it.
[00:14:09] Speaker A: What weird name would you give it?
[00:14:10] Speaker D: Well, I was looking at the video and it was all about beating an airplane.
[00:14:15] Speaker C: So, like, drinking cocktails.
[00:14:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:19] Speaker D: So, like airplane pop.
[00:14:22] Speaker C: It's definitely poppy.
[00:14:23] Speaker D: Yeah. But very, very poppy.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: Punchy poppy nostalgia pop.
I feel like there's something there. Anyway. Sorry, Sergio.
[00:14:32] Speaker B: I was sad there were no twins on.
Yeah, it seemed very mellow.
It was hard to hear what they were saying sometimes. Like, it sounded very muffled, and maybe that's part of the genre.
Kind of seemed like fancy elevator music or maybe like, for.
For the current generation.
[00:14:55] Speaker E: I don't know.
[00:14:55] Speaker A: Maybe new Muzak. New Muzak?
[00:14:59] Speaker B: Oh, shit.
It was fun, though. It had, like, fun beats that would kind of get your head bopping.
Yeah. I don't know. I don't know how to feel about it yet.
[00:15:11] Speaker A: I know this is gonna make me sound really old, but, like, it felt very Gen Z.
Oh. Like, I don't know. I don't know what that means, but maybe it was the video. Might be the video that, like, influenced that.
[00:15:24] Speaker D: But.
[00:15:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree. Like, the muffledy sound, that is something that I feel like is in this genre that I'm now making up.
Because it's like, what does everything sound like to you when you're really high?
It's like something's not really, like. It's not, like, super clear.
Right. Maybe. I think it is.
[00:15:42] Speaker C: Excuse me, what did you say?
[00:15:47] Speaker A: I guess that depends on the person. Everybody's highest. But yeah. Anyway.
[00:15:52] Speaker C: Well, the reason I chose it last night, I was just kind of just looking for a song, and I thought I would get like a sort of a psycho killer type one, being Halloween and stuff. And so I chose Ochreville river. And there's this, a murder song. And it just. It's so dark. And then I was like, just looking through Instagram, and this is one of my students from Boulder High is the drummer.
[00:16:17] Speaker D: Oh, yeah.
[00:16:18] Speaker A: Does that make them Gen Z? Was I right?
[00:16:20] Speaker C: He definitely.
Yep. Gen Z, Yeah, he's. He's the drummer. He was also a drummer for the Flobots, and he's done a whole bunch of stuff, but this is a Boston band. And I don't know if he's. But he just. And he put on a podcast much like We Are, where they had a guy talking to them and they were performing, like, sort of tiny Deck type stuff. And then I was like, oh, look, look at Forrest. His name is Forrest Ropp. And I said, look, look what Forrest is doing.
And he lives in Brooklyn right now. And so.
But I went to bed happy. I mean, it was just like, I felt like. I just felt like, oh, this is really up now. I chose well. I'm going to put Oakville river aside for this.
[00:17:04] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I mean, I think too, it's. It's. That's a good point. Like, sometimes when you're. I don't know, in the headspace many of us find in ourselves today.
[00:17:14] Speaker E: This.
[00:17:14] Speaker A: Kind of music is great because you need that to give you those. That little. That little boost. I know I have a. Sometimes I have a hard time when I'm down to, like. I know some people gravitate towards, like, more downer music because they, like, they want to listen to what's, like, reflected. But sometimes you got to listen to the opposite to try to change your mood a little bit.
Yeah, I like that. That's neat.
[00:17:35] Speaker C: What is the Donnie Darko one. You know, the.
[00:17:38] Speaker A: Oh, that.
[00:17:39] Speaker C: If that comes on a radio, I change. It's so depressing.
[00:17:42] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:17:45] Speaker C: I just can't handle it, I guess. It's a Tears for Fear song that was recurring.
[00:17:49] Speaker A: Yeah. I forget who did the COVID for the movie, but. Yeah. I mean, when I was 15, that was like, I know primo music, but I know.
[00:17:57] Speaker C: I remember teaching all these SAG kids listening to it and be like, you got anything sadder? No.
[00:18:06] Speaker A: I was having a conversation with somebody recently and they were talking about, like, all these movies that I didn't watch when I was younger, like Mean Girls. And there was another one that was like, Mean Girls. And they were like, what were you watching? And I was like, johnny Darko and Requiem for a Dream.
[00:18:22] Speaker E: Dark.
[00:18:24] Speaker A: That was more important than Mean Girls.
[00:18:25] Speaker D: Jump in front of a car.
[00:18:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Anyway. Well, that's really neat.
Are they in Boston? Well, he's in Brooklyn. But you said they're Boston twins.
[00:18:35] Speaker C: I guess they're. Yeah, I guess they're from Boston.
The lead singer and the guitarist and they were in. The podcast was in Florida, but we. When we were. I just was in Austin last year, and there's a place called the Mohawk there, which is this super cool club. And they're coming there. They're. They're performing all over the country. They're every two days. They're in, like, St. Louis, Chicago. They're going to be at the Globe hall and Denver and I think November or something. So cool. But yeah, it's quite the ambitious road tour.
[00:19:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
Cool.
All right. Any other thoughts on Twin.
[00:19:19] Speaker C: Cool.
[00:19:19] Speaker A: Let's move on. Next. Next song. I think it's Eric's.
[00:19:23] Speaker B: Yeah. I knew you were going to bring a song by d'. Angelo.
[00:19:28] Speaker C: Oh, man.
[00:19:28] Speaker B: Somebody had you I know. I was like, eric's going to do it.
[00:19:31] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:19:33] Speaker B: Next song is called Spanish Joint by d'. Angelo.
[00:20:52] Speaker E: You the found.
[00:21:48] Speaker A: And the clown.
[00:21:49] Speaker E: You won't cease to pain Just won't do Just won't do. Yeah.
Sam.
So control of me.
Sam.
[00:24:22] Speaker F: Course again.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: J.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: That was Spanish Joint by d'. Angelo.
[00:25:37] Speaker A: I feel like I went first last time. John. You have to go first. First or Sergio.
[00:25:42] Speaker B: I'll.
[00:25:42] Speaker C: I'm still composing my thoughts. You go.
[00:25:46] Speaker B: I'll be embarrassed to say that I've never heard of his music before.
Like, I knew who he was, but I never, like, listened to it. So this first time. Oh, no.
[00:25:57] Speaker C: So terrible.
[00:26:00] Speaker B: I think I was expecting a rap song, a hip hop song maybe. I don't know if that's his genre or not. I don't know.
But I was not expecting Latin jazz.
And I. I loved it. That was really good. I love the.
The congas in the back.
Yeah, it was.
[00:26:22] Speaker D: It was really good.
[00:26:23] Speaker B: I liked it.
[00:26:25] Speaker A: I was so. I know, like, a limited amount of his songs. He had that, like, big hit in, like early 2000s or maybe late 90s or early 90s.
[00:26:35] Speaker D: He had a few hits.
[00:26:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I remember. And he had like, a very scandalous music video. Yeah, yeah, I remember that one.
And then.
And like a few songs around there. But I feel like they didn't really. They were more kind of like soul, R and B kind of sounding versus this, which was definitely a lot jazzier.
What I really liked about this song is that it.
The vocals were so inobtrusive of the. The instrumentals. It was almost like he was improvising the vocals over the instrumentals is kind of what it sounded like.
So it's like. It's like the. The, you know, musicians were just kind of going. And he was just kind of popping in and out and like doing a couple lines and then moving out and then doing a couple lines and then moving out.
And that was kind of interesting. And then I think too.
Yeah. I don't know. I just liked the way it was arranged. Like, it felt both, like, kind of not chaotic, like organized chaos. Right. Like there's just kind of a lot going on, but it all really works together. This is going to sound insane, but what I kept coming back to in my head is it felt like a charcuterie board, but in music form, it was just like all these different things. Like, there's some almonds, some, like, salami, some cheese, maybe a little mustard, some jam. But it's like on the board, it's like, wow, that looks insane. But then, like, you put it all together and it's like, oh, that sounds really good.
[00:28:03] Speaker C: Scramble it.
[00:28:04] Speaker A: I don't know why. That's what came to. Maybe I'm hungry. I don't know. But eat before you do this.
But that's what. That's what came to mind.
I know that sounds insane, but anyway.
John.
[00:28:15] Speaker C: Yeah, I felt it.
I felt very improv, you know, the vocals, even the drums. I thought that the drums were kind of doing some unexpected things. I did. I never knew where any part of this song was going other than the bass. The bass just hung in there with that lick and people were jumping in and out, and it felt really pretty great. Yeah, just like, where's it going to go?
You didn't know the arc of the song. You couldn't tell. It's like, oh, it's winding up or doing anything. It just. Just hang in there at a pretty level pace the whole way. And the vocals sounded a little Stevie Wonderish, didn't they?
[00:28:57] Speaker D: I thought they sounded more a little Princess.
[00:29:00] Speaker A: Yes. I was gonna say Prince. Okay.
[00:29:02] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:29:03] Speaker A: Little Barbara Gay. Yeah, yeah. I was thinking Prince, like, the whole time. I think one other thing to your point about how, like, the arc and the. Didn't really have that kind of, like, feel. What's interesting is that I feel like sometimes when songs are like that, they feel long if they don't have some kind of motion to them. You're just kind of like, okay, where are we going with this? But you didn't really feel that with this.
[00:29:27] Speaker C: How long was it?
[00:29:29] Speaker B: 5 minutes and 40 seconds.
[00:29:30] Speaker A: It's kind of on the longer side for a song, so for like a, you know, whatever.
[00:29:35] Speaker B: I feel like I could just keep listening to it. If it just, like, went on repeat, I wouldn't.
[00:29:39] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:29:40] Speaker C: I would definitely want to listen to it at night.
[00:29:44] Speaker B: With a joint A.
[00:29:45] Speaker A: Glass of Mexican joint.
[00:29:48] Speaker B: A Marijuana.
[00:29:52] Speaker C: Corona.
[00:29:54] Speaker B: Oh, that's a good band name. Marijuana Corona Marijuana Corona all right, Eric.
[00:30:00] Speaker A: Bring us back on the rails.
[00:30:03] Speaker D: This is a guy who died, unfortunately, yesterday, who made a legacy in three major albums, sort of launched after soul music had gotten kind of glossy and kind of ephemeral, you know, just sort of shallow. He came back and he's this guy. He's all of a sudden like Stevie wonder in the 70s. He just creates all this amazing music in a relatively short span of time and then sort of dropped out of the music biz for a long time.
And this is sort of one of the things that he did this is his. This album is considered his masterpiece. But all of his albums are incredible. They're not all like this.
They're more the solar R and B. But you can hear the hints. You can hear Prince. You can hear for me, Marvin Gaye, maybe a little bit of Al Green, even.
And he sort of launched what's called Neo Soul. Maxwell, Jill Scott, Erica Badu, India, sort of. And laid the groundwork for a lot of other people.
So, yeah, I hate to see him go.
Because he was relatively young.
[00:31:23] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:31:23] Speaker D: Only 51. But, yeah, these. This is the album Voodoo that I recommend. If you're going to start and then you can go forward and go backwards, he's definitely worth. I've been listening to him since I heard the news yesterday and just forgotten how good his music really is. So, yeah, that. That's.
Listen to d', Angelo because he was. He was a great man, great musician.
[00:31:52] Speaker C: I saw. He was so young.
[00:31:54] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:31:54] Speaker C: How did it. What happened?
[00:31:55] Speaker D: Pancreatic cancer.
[00:31:58] Speaker A: Yikes. That's a bad one.
Yeah. It's kind of sad, like, because I. I haven't thought about him in probably 20 years maybe.
And it's kind of sad that it's like, you know, takes somebody dying to be, like, reminded of, like, oh, yeah, this great musician.
And it. I don't know, makes me feel kind of guilty that it's like, oh, I haven't listened to him in probably like 15, 20 years. And. Yeah. So thank you, Eric, for bringing it today.
[00:32:30] Speaker B: Is most of his other music like this or. No, this is more unique.
[00:32:35] Speaker D: This. That cut is more unique, but this album is more along those lines. Oh, okay.
Cool. Sweet.
[00:32:45] Speaker A: Thanks, Eric.
All right, what's next? DJ Sergio?
[00:32:50] Speaker B: All right, up next is a song called Blood Red Sandman.
[00:33:00] Speaker A: Oh, is this your Halloween pick?
[00:33:01] Speaker B: It is my Halloween pick. I feel like I have to.
[00:33:04] Speaker C: Somebody's got you.
[00:33:06] Speaker B: Halloween, you know.
Too many. Too many choices, though. All right, here we go. It's Blood Red Sandman by Lordy.
[00:33:48] Speaker E: They called me the Leather Ripple they called me Smiley Jack they pray to the heavens above that I will never ever come back make it my own mud Red summer colored home again I'm coming home again Red robs d so wide the way I find my name but the neighborhood's pretty dead at night When I'm the one to blame Once again there is pain A green man so Ringo of the Black Red sun man coming home the sun moving night I will make you my own black red sun Coming home again we're coming home again no one needs.
[00:35:52] Speaker C: To.
[00:35:55] Speaker E: Can you hear how the children feel?
Like once again there has been a black red sun Coming soon Black red sand Coming home I'm coming home Second little spade I reside the blood red sun Coming home from the sun Every night I will make it my own Blood red sun Coming home again by coming home again.
[00:37:21] Speaker B: That was blood Red Sandman by Lordy.
[00:37:24] Speaker C: How do you spell that?
[00:37:27] Speaker B: L O, R D I.
Oh, that's.
[00:37:31] Speaker C: That's strange.
[00:37:34] Speaker D: Well, that was an odd song.
[00:37:36] Speaker C: It was totally odd song.
I got a lot of visuals.
[00:37:42] Speaker D: It seemed to me like a big stage production.
Not. Not a video, but something you'd actually do on stage where you'd have, like, lots of little, like, demon M dancers.
[00:37:56] Speaker A: Demon imp dancers like that, and, you.
[00:37:59] Speaker D: Know, children with, like, mascara running down their cheeks, just. Yeah, it was. It was quite odd, but it was really funny.
[00:38:10] Speaker C: Let's make that music video.
[00:38:12] Speaker A: Yeah, it was pretty funny. It felt it. They are. My guess is they're referencing the Metallica song or they're, like, trying to be cute about it.
[00:38:20] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:38:21] Speaker A: Enter Sandman. Because when it first started, I was like, oh, yeah. I could see, like, them looking at Metallica and being like, we want to do something similar.
And then Blood Red Sandman. I was like, oh, it's maybe a reference to their inspiration. I have no idea. That's my guess.
[00:38:37] Speaker C: I thought about the inspiration. I was kind of like, who sits down with the pen?
Blood red Sandman.
[00:38:44] Speaker A: We want to make a version of Enter Sandman, but.
[00:38:48] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:38:48] Speaker A: Spookier.
[00:38:49] Speaker C: Yeah. It did have a sort of Broadway feel to it or something, didn't it?
Like. Yeah, I totally agree with you.
[00:38:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:56] Speaker C: So maybe I think, like, Spinal Tap with Stonehenge coming down behind them.
[00:39:02] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:39:03] Speaker C: You know, or something like that.
[00:39:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Especially with the key change at the very end. It's like these guys are begging for a giant stage production.
[00:39:10] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:39:12] Speaker A: I think my. My one thing that I could not get over was the vocals. I could not.
I don't know. Something about it was like fingernails on a chalkboard.
[00:39:23] Speaker C: I wonder if they have schools for that. You know, all get together and they're like, let's all stick together.
You know, it's like harmony, whatever.
[00:39:34] Speaker A: I don't know. Jay always makes fun of me because I have. I have this. I don't. It's not really Mesopho. It's definitely not Misophonia for. But it's like something where. Like, whether it's a podcast or band or anybody, like, if I. If there's something about the vocal or the voice, That I cannot get over. It's like, it's. I. I can't. Like, I can't listen to it.
So I feel like this song in my. If it were me, this song would be fantastic if somebody else was singing. But I liked everything else about it. Like, it was just very kind of like. Yeah, like the stage production metal, I.
[00:40:09] Speaker C: Think John Denver.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: Or d'. Angelo.
[00:40:16] Speaker A: Yeah, but that was like my. I was like, man, this would be so good if somebody else was singing, huh? I feel that.
[00:40:21] Speaker B: Who else should sing it?
[00:40:21] Speaker A: I mean, like, you could get even the guy from Metallic. What's his name? Lars.
I would.
[00:40:28] Speaker C: Trent Reznor or something.
[00:40:31] Speaker A: I mean, like, somebody closer to that would probably be better. I mean, really.
Yeah.
I feel that way about a lot of bands, to be fair. This is not unique to this band. There's a lot of bands where I'm like, they'd be so good if they had a different lead singer.
But, yeah, that was my only qualm. Otherwise it was like, yeah, it was cool. Good Halloween pick.
[00:40:51] Speaker C: Yeah. That's what they said about the Rolling Stones. They said, this band's awesome, but you gotta go rid of the lead singer.
[00:40:58] Speaker A: It's definitely. This one's definitely going on my Halloween playlist, for sure. Yeah.
[00:41:02] Speaker B: Yeah. So Lordy is a Finnish, I guess, metal band and they actually dress up in, like, monster costumes.
[00:41:11] Speaker A: Oh, cool.
That's neat.
[00:41:14] Speaker B: I think they.
This song is from their first album, which came out in 2007. I think they actually. Or maybe earlier they won Eurovision in 2006 for a song called Hard Rock Hallelujah.
They also have another fun song called Would you'd love a monster, Man.
Anyway, they have so many albums now.
I got.
I remembered about them because I was watching Weapons, the new. I don't know if you guys have seen the new movie called Weapons. Anyway, something that happens in there, well, I guess it's not spoilery, but the kids vanish and they run away and you don't know why. I don't know why. It reminded me of some of the lyrics of this song.
And anyway, yeah, that was it.
[00:42:08] Speaker A: Cool. I got very into Eurovision this year, so, yes.
Maybe I can go back and find their performance. I don't know. I don't know why, but I got super sucked into it.
[00:42:19] Speaker D: Why?
[00:42:20] Speaker A: I don't.
I think because it's something that's so.
It's so foreign to, like, America. And it was, like, just very. It's just interesting, like a cultural. It was like, culturally very fascinating.
[00:42:36] Speaker D: It's what the Europeans do instead of war against each other.
[00:42:40] Speaker A: And I just.
It was just so, like, so much of the. It was so, like, heart. So much of it was, like, so heartwarming. Like, I don't know, just how excited people would get for their, like, home country bands and, like.
I don't know, it was kind of. It was kind of nice. I don't.
[00:42:56] Speaker C: If we competed, who would we put up a test to represent America?
[00:43:01] Speaker A: So that's the problem with America, is that we could never come to an agreement on one artist as a country. It would be, like, seven of them for the seven different countries that are in America.
I think that's what it would be. Would be my Taylor Swift.
[00:43:14] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:43:14] Speaker A: Let's be real.
[00:43:16] Speaker C: We'd impose her on the rest of the haters.
[00:43:21] Speaker A: No, but, yeah, I mean, I think that's. That's. I don't know. It was really fascinating. So I'm gonna go back and maybe I can find their Eurovision show.
[00:43:34] Speaker B: Well, the last song of the evening is.
Hold on, let me get there.
[00:43:39] Speaker A: I'm hoping I didn't bring this one already because I kind of added it at the last minute.
[00:43:44] Speaker B: I.
It seems very familiar, but now I have to check it.
[00:43:49] Speaker A: Yeah, please check.
[00:43:50] Speaker B: It's called Jazz on the Audubon.
[00:43:52] Speaker A: Have I brought this yet?
[00:43:53] Speaker B: I feel like you did.
[00:43:56] Speaker C: I remember the Audubon part.
[00:43:59] Speaker A: I'm sorry, I didn't get the error. You know when you, like, add something and it's like, this is already on the playlist.
I didn't get that error, so I'm hoping that I didn't bring it.
[00:44:12] Speaker B: Maybe not, because I was, like, talked about it.
[00:44:14] Speaker A: I think. I think I might have talked about it, but then I didn't bring it. It was like a backup song one week.
[00:44:21] Speaker B: I mean, I don't see it.
[00:44:23] Speaker A: Yeah. So I don't think I did.
[00:44:25] Speaker B: Okay, well, here we go.
[00:44:27] Speaker A: Okay, here we go.
[00:44:28] Speaker B: Jazz on the Audubon by the Felis Brothers. Felice.
[00:44:31] Speaker A: Felice.
[00:44:32] Speaker B: Felice Brothers.
[00:44:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:44:34] Speaker B: Or Felis. Whatever. Jazz on the Audubon.
[00:44:36] Speaker D: Here we go.
[00:44:40] Speaker F: The sheriff disappeared he drove in the doomed Corvette Helen was in the passenger seat eating melon and spitting out the seeds Feeling happy to be alone but still turning a saxophone as cold as stone Kind of like she said, this is what the apocalypse will look like Tornado with human eyes Poison bird baths and torrents of chemical rain like the heads of state hyperventilating in clouds of methane Sundown on the human heart.
[00:45:31] Speaker A: And.
[00:45:31] Speaker F: This is what the apocalypse will sound like but it'll be loud As a mushroom cloud It'll sound like Final Jeopardy but somehow be ghostly like a glockenspiel like the testing of bombs or the tapping of stiletto heels.
It'll sound like jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz jazz on the auto farm.
It'll sound like jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz on the autobot the sheriff disagree.
He tried to make a distinction between death and extinction.
They stopped off at a place called Hamburger Heaven to grab a bite to eat. But Helen had no appetite. She just drank a seven eyed while the sheriff tapped his coat coffee cup to a distant beat. Kind of like it won't look like those old frescoes, man I don't think so. There'll be no angels with swords, man, I don't think so. No jubilant beings in the sky above, man I don't think so. And it won't look like those old movies neither.
There'll be no drag racing through the bombed out streets neither.
No shareholders will be orbiting the earth, man either.
It'll be hard to recognize each other through our oxygen masks. The successful sons of businessmen will set their deaths on fire While the five star generals of the free world beep in the oil choke tide.
It won't sound like jazz, jazz, jazz on the autobahn it won't sound like jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz on the auto bar they agreed to disagree.
They zoomed off in a doomed Corvette.
The sheriff couldn't recall feeling this way his entire life as he drove through the car Principalities of unreality on the run with somebody else's wife the heiress of Texas own what is freedom you thought?
Is it to be empty of desire?
Is it to find everything I've lost Or I've been in search of? Or is it to return to the things to which there's no more returning?
Does it feel like jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz jazz on the auto.
[00:48:15] Speaker E: Does it.
[00:48:15] Speaker F: Feel like jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz jazz on the auto.
[00:48:23] Speaker E: Does it feel like.
[00:48:25] Speaker F: Jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz jazz on the auto Feel like jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz jazz on the autob.
[00:48:40] Speaker E: Feel like jazz.
[00:48:42] Speaker F: Jazz, jazz, jazz jazz on the autobar Feel like jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz jazz on the auto.
[00:49:13] Speaker B: That was Jazz on the Autobond by the Felis Brothers.
[00:49:19] Speaker D: It sounds like if Tom Waits was a science fiction writer as well as a songwriter, it would. He'd come up with a lyric like that.
[00:49:27] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:49:28] Speaker D: Yeah, that was weird.
It was good.
Kind of original, but yeah, just freaking weird.
[00:49:39] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I really liked it and I heard it this morning.
[00:49:42] Speaker A: Oh, nice.
That's why it sounded.
[00:49:44] Speaker C: And it was on the Colorado Sound. And I was heading up Boulder Canyon and I was. And I can't. Oh, my car. I don't know if I said this before, but I can't ask what the song is.
[00:49:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:49:55] Speaker C: Because my radio turns off when I do that.
It's kind of like listening now. I have to parrot the lyrics and it never works, but it was. I.
Yeah, I super liked it and kind of. Yeah, there's a lot of spoken word feel to, like Henry Rollins or almost, but.
[00:50:17] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:50:17] Speaker C: Just going all over the place and.
And it. It totally puts a finger on the way we're all feeling, you know?
Yep, yep.
[00:50:26] Speaker B: Like.
[00:50:29] Speaker C: But that bass, I. I just. It was real.
[00:50:31] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:50:32] Speaker C: Tap your foot to that, you know, and the trumpet was great on that.
[00:50:39] Speaker B: I really liked it too. Yeah, I like the. The spoken word aspect of it. I don't think I was expecting that based on the.
The title of the song. It was more jazz of words than music, maybe, but I did. Yeah. I feel like it could be like an anthem or so for.
But I feel like I've heard it like the.
This is the way the. Was it the this is the way the apocalypse ends or something like that. Not by whisper, by band. Right.
Or I feel like I've heard that somewhere else recently and I don't know.
[00:51:13] Speaker A: Where, but it's top of mind, I think for a lot of people.
[00:51:18] Speaker C: You heard it on the news?
[00:51:21] Speaker B: No, I feel like either in another song or like a movie or a show or. I don't know, sounded very familiar. I was kind of having deja vu.
[00:51:29] Speaker A: Interesting.
[00:51:30] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:51:30] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, that's how I felt when I added it to the playlist because I was like, have I added this one? I don't know. Um, yeah. Yeah. I similarly, I think I heard it on the radio like a few months ago, and yeah, it kind of hit a nerve where it was just like, oh, boy. Yeah, this feels right. We're not quite. We're all kind of trying to figure out what the apocalypse is going to sound like and there's a bunch of different theories and they're all this, like.
[00:51:56] Speaker C: I think I was going to sound like a blood red sandman.
[00:52:01] Speaker A: Yes, yes, absolutely.
Yeah. I think it's just. It's one of those things where when I heard it, it's like, yeah, you hear it and you're kind of in that headspace where you're like, oh, this speaks to me. But it's also. It's like. It's funny. Right. So I think sometimes when.
Yeah. When you're like thinking about the apocalypse. And then somebody puts it in kind of a funny, funny way, or at least a way that makes you laugh.
One thing that I often ponder when I listen to this song is whether they like jazz and whether. Cause, like, at first I was like, are they saying that the apocalypse is gonna sound like jazz? Because they don't like jazz. But then it, like, kind of changes midway through the song. But anyway.
And then, yeah, I think this. The kind of, like, spoken word aspect of it is very like jazz. Like, there's a. There. I feel like there's a show on Kuvo on, like, Sunday nights or something where they do, like, they play jazz, but they also do a lot of, like, spoken word and they do, like, a lot of beat stuff.
And I feel like this would not be played on it at all, but it was like.
They're often, like, tangential, I feel, sometimes. So I think it's kind of neat that it's related to that. And then the trumpet. Yeah. In the background is sort of vaguely jazzy. Have you driven on the Autobahn? Did you listen to jazz while you were on the.
[00:53:24] Speaker B: No, I was listening to edm, so I could go as fast as possible.
[00:53:29] Speaker A: Like, I wonder if it's some kind of, like, key to a portal or something like that. If you were to play jazz on the Autobahn. But, yeah, I don't know. It's like.
I don't know. It's different. And.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't really have too much more to say about. I don't really know too much about this band. I know that they're brothers, and I think there were originally three brothers in the band, and then maybe one left, and now there's only two. And then they're kind of the core people in the band, the brothers. And then, like, people. Other people kind of come in and out to, you know, play trumpet or whatever.
And I think this song is relatively new. I feel like it came out in, like, 2021, so it's not too old. But, yeah, it's. It's fun and kind of silly and kind of serious and. Yeah.
[00:54:17] Speaker C: And the lyrics, you're just. You're wondering what he's gonna say. He's, like, storytelling.
[00:54:21] Speaker A: Yeah.
Just hanging in there. I think the one thing, too, is I have a hard time, like, connecting what he's talking about, what the apocalypse is sounding like. And then the whole story with the sheriff driving around with the woman in the car. And I wonder if, like, the lyrics about the apocalypse are like, what's going through her head because she doesn't want to be in the sheriff's car. And she's like, is this what the apocalypse sounds like?
[00:54:47] Speaker D: Or she's eating melon and spitting out seeds?
[00:54:50] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It's kind of all over the place. I tried to do some research on, like, what, the song itself, but there's. Yeah, not a lot out there. So, anyway, listeners, if you know anything about this song, let us. Let us know.
All right, Anything else?
Wrap it here. That's it.
All right, well, thanks for listening, everyone. Thanks for tuning in. Don't forget, if you have something you'd like us to listen to, drop a comment. Comment. Email. Hello, longmontpublicmedia.org Otherwise, we will see y' all next time.
