Shadow Sushi with Stevie & Sly

[00:00:06] Speaker A: Hey, everyone. Welcome to another episode of what I listened to this week. We're back with John and Eric and Sergio and. Hi, it's Melanie. Thanks for tuning in. We're excited to be here, excited to share some music with you. But first we'll kick it off with another round of new and good. So, hey, everyone, what's new and good? And I will kick it to Eric first because I know he's got something to share. [00:00:33] Speaker B: I went to at a visit to the Northern Arapaho Reservation in Wind River, Wyoming, and it was good. It was a good trip. I managed not to get trampled by buffalo and I met a lot of people and I danced in a powwow and it was all together a very enlightening experience. [00:00:57] Speaker A: That's really cool. They are one of our sister cities in Longmont. Right? Or sister. I'll use that in quotes because, yeah. [00:01:03] Speaker B: The Wind River City reservation is the sister city of the city of Longmont. [00:01:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:09] Speaker B: And it was. We met up with a lot of people. We met before when they were here in March. And it was fun. A lot of posts, A lot of fun. But it was interesting to see how other people live in Wyoming. And Wyoming's intermittently gorgeous and barren. [00:01:30] Speaker A: So it's a good way to describe it. [00:01:32] Speaker B: Yeah. So it was good. It was a good trip. [00:01:35] Speaker C: You seem like a changed man. [00:01:38] Speaker B: Tired still. [00:01:41] Speaker A: What was the goal? Were you there just as like a. Kind of like a meat. [00:01:45] Speaker B: I'm an elder now. [00:01:48] Speaker A: Cool. Very cool. [00:01:50] Speaker C: He's wise, knows it all. [00:01:55] Speaker B: So it was just part of an exchange because they had been down here. So we went up there to see them and they fed us well and we stayed in their hotel casino. And that was totally entirely another adventure. But that's for another time. [00:02:14] Speaker A: That's really neat. That's cool. I would love to be able to go up there and check it out and meet with them. That sounds really interesting. [00:02:22] Speaker B: Yeah, it was good. It was a great experience. [00:02:24] Speaker A: Cool. That's a good one, Eric. I'll throw it over to John. You're next. What's new and good, John? [00:02:29] Speaker D: I'm just going to follow that theme. I was in Taos and I went to powwow in Taos. [00:02:34] Speaker A: Oh, wow. That's cool. [00:02:36] Speaker D: I did not have the chutzpah to go out there and dance. It would not have been cool had I done that. But very beautiful. I brought my camera, thought, oh, I'll take a few pics. But the light, it was just all of a sudden the golden hour. And the way everyone Was dressed up. And you had people from Peru, the Lakota, Cheyenne. Everyone was there and the costumes. It was my first powwow. You know, people always say, is this your first rodeo? Well, that was my first powwow, and that was super fun. And then just before it got going, 91 degrees super hot. And then all of a sudden, this wind came in from the east, and that dropped the temperature into the low 70s. And it was blowing about 35 miles an hour. So it was like a dust storm. People had these little tents that they were in there to have shade, and those things were just taken off. It just went from still to just crazy. And I was eating this Navajo fry bread, you know, and stuff. And it was like, wow, it's getting full of sand. But Anyway, I took 400 shots there. [00:03:45] Speaker A: Wow. [00:03:47] Speaker D: It was like, wow. Amazing. Had a great time. [00:03:50] Speaker A: Oh, man, that's so cool. I think my dog might be from Taos. I have, like, suspicions that she's from around there. [00:03:58] Speaker D: I'll take. I go down there a lot, so I'll ask. Ask around down there. [00:04:04] Speaker E: Have you seen this dog? [00:04:07] Speaker C: It's in Lima now. [00:04:08] Speaker A: Stray dog. Yeah, there it is. [00:04:11] Speaker D: We've been looking for our dog. Somebody from Colorado stole it. [00:04:19] Speaker A: That's cool. The last time. I'm. One time. I remember one time I was in Taos, and I was at. I think it was at one of the breweries there. And I was sitting outside, and this guy came up and he was just head to toe in turquoise jewelry and leather and wanted was, like, begging us for a ride to California because he needed to go pick marijuana. And he was just like, you guys going west? I really need to hitch a ride. And we couldn't give him a ride because we weren't going that way. But, yeah, he was an interesting character. He claimed he was a cousin of mine because he was from Worcester. And I was like, no, you're not. But it's okay. It's okay. We're gonna pretend for a little bit. Yeah, it's great down there. And you meet really interesting people, that's for sure. Yeah. [00:05:06] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:05:08] Speaker A: I'll go next. Mine is not nearly as cultured or exciting. What's new and good for me is that I have a new shed. [00:05:17] Speaker D: Wow. [00:05:18] Speaker A: Which, like, I was joking. [00:05:19] Speaker D: A shed warming party. [00:05:21] Speaker A: I might. That's how excited I am about this. I was joking with a cowork today. Co worker today about how, you know when you're, like, a boring old adult, when you, like, are so, like, I woke up this morning, like, leapt out of bed. And I was like, it's shed day. Today's the day. It's not done yet. It'll take a couple more days. But the construction started today and just I. The quality of life that I'm anticipating when the shed is done. Again, not nearly as exciting as either of yours, but still something new and very good. [00:05:52] Speaker D: Are you gonna move a ton of stuff in there once it's over? [00:05:55] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Like so much stuff. My office, from our garage, from the like, temporary shed that's on our porch. Like, just lots of stuff. The organization. I can't wait. [00:06:07] Speaker D: Yeah. You have to build another shed in a couple months, right? [00:06:10] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, I was honestly looking at it today. I was like, I kind of want to just like, I want another one and then I want to live in it or like, have it be like my little, like, hideaway. I get it now. I get the shed, the she shed thing. [00:06:23] Speaker C: Like the people that live behind us, they have like four sheds. And I just added another one, another little one. [00:06:30] Speaker A: I mean, that's the dream. The dream is land with lots of outbuildings, AKA sheds. So, yeah, more tents. [00:06:37] Speaker D: Mother in law shed. Yeah. [00:06:39] Speaker A: Well, actually, so the guy who's building. The guy who's building our shed, he had a client a couple of weeks ago who did that. They had a shed for mother in law grandma for to go to when she was in her mood. [00:06:57] Speaker C: Wow. [00:06:58] Speaker A: It's like for her. [00:07:00] Speaker D: Wow. [00:07:01] Speaker A: Which I think is hilarious. I think in that case, it's technically an adu, not a shed, but. But yeah, that was kind of a fun story. So that's. That's very real. [00:07:10] Speaker D: She's out there with the yellow jackets. [00:07:13] Speaker A: Yeah. All right, Sergio, what's new and good? [00:07:19] Speaker D: All right. [00:07:19] Speaker C: It's telling your wife to go to the shed. PC, Is that allowed these days? Go to the shed. Wife. [00:07:24] Speaker D: That's right. [00:07:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Did a. Yeah. 100 mile bike ride, gravel bike ride on Sunday. I've been. At least I can. I know I did it and I. I don't know if I'll do it ever again. My body hurts. That was somewhat fun. Although I don't think I would do that again anytime soon. I did go to my first metal concert to go see that band Volbeat at the ball arena on Thursday. That was a lot of fun. A lot of headbanging. I think I want to go to more metal shows. I actually, a friend and I are going to go see Ghosts back at the ball arena next Thursday. So that'll be another fun show. And that's kind of it. [00:08:13] Speaker A: Bring your earplugs. [00:08:14] Speaker D: Nah. [00:08:15] Speaker C: Just no. Maybe. Maybe I'll bring them this time. [00:08:19] Speaker A: Two metal concerts in a month. Bring your earplugs. [00:08:22] Speaker D: I hear Paul McCartney's doing a metal thing at Rockies field back in September. [00:08:28] Speaker C: Maybe. [00:08:30] Speaker A: Yeah. How much did those tickets go for? Do we know? They were probably outrageous, right? [00:08:36] Speaker C: 3, 400 bucks maybe. [00:08:37] Speaker A: No, I would guess thousands. [00:08:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:41] Speaker A: Minimum for nosebleeds. I was. I almost like got in the pre sale line just because I was curious, not because I wanted to go, but I'm just like, what is it? What is it? But yeah, I don't have time for that. Alrighty. Well, thanks everybody for sharing what's new and good. Let's get to the music. Sergio, what do you got? [00:09:03] Speaker C: All right, the first up. I won't say who brought it yet. Do I say? I don't know? Does it matter? [00:09:09] Speaker A: It doesn't really matter since we're gonna. [00:09:11] Speaker C: We'll get to it. React before they talk, but you can't find it on Spotify. So this is a video titled Green Day American idiot. And it had to be this specific version. [00:09:26] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:09:27] Speaker C: Which was live at Coachella 2025. Okay, so here we go. [00:09:58] Speaker F: I can you with that sound of the ser. The Chandler to make a Not too long. Go chill. Well, maybe I'm a fag at America. No, I'm not a part of a maga gen. Everybody do the propaganda. Let's go crazy. Sam, Coachella 2025, are you ready? I want to see everybody going crazy. All right. I want your hands in the air. I want to see you jumping up and down. Are you ready? I want to hear you scream as loud as you can it to want to be in the mankind One nation controlled by the media Information ain't traversing. This is California. [00:13:50] Speaker A: Boo. So they changed redneck to maga. Is that the only lyric that they changed or is there other ones? [00:14:05] Speaker D: Other ones. [00:14:05] Speaker A: Okay. I couldn't remember them long enough or couldn't remember it well enough to check and see if there were others that were changed. Yeah, I mean, it's nice to see them still rocking pretty hard because they've got to be getting up there 50s, I would say. Yeah, yeah. It's just so funny too because like I perpetually will think of them as like snotty nosed teenagers who are like screaming in their parents garage kind of a thing because like I think when I also when I listened to them, that was me. But so it's kind of funny to think about like 50 year olds singing the same, like, singing songs from, like, Dookie. But this. What's cool about this is that I think. Yeah, it's just. It still has, like, that same energy that I would have expected them to have when this album came out in, like, two. One. Was that 2004, I think. Wow. I was like. I feel like I was, like a junior or senior in high school when it came out. I remember playing it in my Chevy Cavalier City Player. So, yeah, it's nice to see them still rock it. [00:15:15] Speaker B: They hit it pretty hard. [00:15:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:17] Speaker B: And it was. You could tell the crowd enjoyed it, and it was nice to see that they adapted the lyrics to the current scenario. So. Good job, Green Day. Good job. [00:15:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I like that. That is clever. The other thing I was thinking of, too, is that I was like, oh, I heard this song recently. Where have I heard, like, performed live? And you weren't here for the last podcast, but I saw Weird Al at Red Rocks, and he has a version called Canadian Idiot, and he played that. And so I was like, where have I heard this live? Recently? And I was like, oh, yeah. It wasn't the same version, but yeah. Anyway. All right. So why did you bring this? Were you at Coachella? [00:16:00] Speaker D: Do you jump in? [00:16:01] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, sorry. [00:16:02] Speaker C: No, I thought. I think for those listening, make sure to watch the video. I think the. The. It looked awesome. Like, I think it would have been a lot of fun to be there in person. [00:16:13] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:16:13] Speaker C: I'm guessing Trump said something after this performance or. No. [00:16:18] Speaker A: Have they been deported? [00:16:19] Speaker C: Because I feel like. [00:16:20] Speaker D: Yeah, right. [00:16:21] Speaker C: I don't know if he said anything about them recently or not. [00:16:24] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:16:25] Speaker D: I don't. [00:16:25] Speaker C: Maybe not. Maybe not that I'm thinking about, but. Right. No, Yeah, I liked it. [00:16:31] Speaker D: Yeah. No, I just got up this morning and I was thinking, like, where are the protest songs? You know, And I just. I spent, you know, drinking coffee, Trump. Googling Trump protest songs, whatever. Just your day got a lot in 2017. People that recorded stuff that loud. Wainwright. All these people would be like, wow. That I didn't even know about back then. But it seems like there was. Everything was just crickets. I mean, Eminem did one, but I didn't like it. But it was recently or. [00:17:04] Speaker C: Yeah, okay. [00:17:05] Speaker D: Yeah. Well, it may have been 2016. I can't remember, actually, but I thought I had a lot of energy and I just needed. I was. I woke up angry this morning, you know, with all the Trump shit. You know, it's just. It was. And I thought I had the energy and also Just the word idiot. [00:17:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:26] Speaker D: I mean, idiocy is just so. It's like a hurricane of idiocy right now. And it felt like they just nailed it with that. And then I thought, you know, all the protests that are going on out there, it's not like Vietnam, where they had, you know, they had songs and anthems, and we don't. We're lost and we don't really have much. And I don't know, that music has become so corporatized that, you know, you got these labels just afraid to take. Take it on, you know, be like, Stephen Colbert gone, you know, that people are just keeping their heads down. [00:18:06] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. It could be that. It could also be, like, the fact that music is so, like. What's the word? It's like, decentralized now because of the Internet, that. That could be part of it too. Like, you know, there's so many ways that you can. That people can, like, put their stuff out there that's. It's, like, overwhelming. But I wonder, too, if it's just like. I wonder if there are songs out there, but they're not just like, like, searching. Trump protest song is not gonna find them. You know what I mean? Like, I bet there's stuff out there that's just like, flying under the radar and maybe is like sort of a subtle protest song, but isn't necessarily, like, as loud as something like that. That would be. So that could be it too, maybe. [00:18:59] Speaker B: No hashtags. [00:19:00] Speaker A: Yeah, no hashtags. Yeah. [00:19:03] Speaker D: I just think that there is a demand out there for a really good song, a really good anti Trump song. There's demand out there, and somebody's got to tap into it. I mean, it's just like fame, money, everything will follow. I mean, we're. We're waiting for it, you know, something to just get behind and just go, yes, yes. You got him with that. [00:19:26] Speaker A: You know, Boulder feels like the right place for that, so come on, Boulder. [00:19:29] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah. If somebody doesn't do it, I'm gonna have to do it myself. [00:19:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. [00:19:34] Speaker D: Anything about music doesn't matter. [00:19:37] Speaker A: Yeah. You can figure it out. [00:19:38] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:19:38] Speaker C: You are in a media maker space. [00:19:40] Speaker A: That's right. [00:19:40] Speaker D: I know. [00:19:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:42] Speaker A: You have plenty of people here who you can probably consult with, and you. [00:19:45] Speaker D: Guys could be the band contract. Melanie on drums. Sergio, Lee, guitar. Eric, you're gonna be on sax. [00:19:53] Speaker A: Saxophone. Saxophone. Love that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that song always brings me back to being very angry in high school for different reasons, but the first. [00:20:08] Speaker D: Time I ever heard the band Green Day, they Had that When I Come around was their first big song. And my son was. I don't know, he was like three. And we were living. I was teaching at Boulder High and we were living on West Pearl street just in a little apartment. And we were right next to Bart's CDs. And he went in there and just asked the guy behind the counter, he goes, do you have this song? And the guy knew exactly what he was talking about. He goes, I know what you mean. And I bought the CD for him, but it was like it was the first song he was really able to articulate and he got so into it. So. Yeah, I always like Green Day for that reason. Anyway. [00:20:55] Speaker A: Cool. All right. Well, that's Our first live YouTube one. That's fun. [00:21:00] Speaker C: Thanks for watching. Finding it live. Yeah, I tried to find on Spotify, but this could not so. [00:21:06] Speaker A: Too fresh. [00:21:07] Speaker C: Too fresh. [00:21:08] Speaker D: All right. [00:21:09] Speaker C: The next song is called Sushi and Coca Cola by St. Paul and the broken bones. [00:21:26] Speaker E: Sleepless and empty Work your fingers to the bone that's the wrong kind of smile so many troubles could we leave them back at home once in a while? Yes, I got the table for us Long day but still we got the night before us let's day let's just keep it real simple Sushi and coca cola lay back didn't want getting old so fast who knew a good time could be so cheap and so sweet Just say I told you since she and cold stains on the ceiling Is that a dolphin on the wall? Plastic bouquets starry out bab. You know I'm glad that we can talk and an all special place let's just keep it real simple Sushi and coca cola lay back didn't want get it over so fast who knew a good time could be so deep and so sweet Just say I told him Sushi and Coca Cola. [00:24:00] Speaker C: That was Sushi and Coca Cola by St. Paul and the broken bones bones Broken bones. I. I was curious when you sent this song. I was like, St. Paul and the Brown. They sound so familiar. And I remember listening to the first album I think came out in 2014 or something like that. Call out. I think that's the name of the song or something. I was like, yeah, they sound so familiar. Anyway, I thought it was a. Yeah, really fun song. Although I don't know if Sushi and Coca Cola is my go to combination. Should have been called Sushi and Sake. Yeah, it's kind of funky. Yeah. Love the voice. Yeah. I want to maybe listen to it again and try to figure out what the. Maybe listen again to the lyrics and stuff. But I enjoyed it. [00:24:57] Speaker D: Yeah, I really liked it, too. And that I just saw it with. The first thing that I really focused on was the drum. You know, the drums and then, you know, it. Just the progression of it. I just thought it was. I mean, it's one of those songs you could be just cranking up in your car and not paying any attention to the lyrics at all. It just has a vibe to it that was just so fun, you know, And Sushi is fun and Coca Cola is fun now. I just felt that was a. A really good song, and it was. I was trying to think, who do you think the. The Voice is? Like, is it a little Al Green or. [00:25:33] Speaker B: That's it. [00:25:34] Speaker D: That's it. I was. [00:25:35] Speaker A: Nailed it. Yeah. [00:25:36] Speaker D: I was kind of like, who is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:25:40] Speaker A: So, yeah, I mean, I love these guys. I think that it's one of. I was going to say something similar is that, like, I love their sound so much that it, like, almost doesn't matter. Whatever. It could be nonsense lyrics and a. I don't. And I don't want to downplay lyrics because, like, I'm sure that they put, like. They put a lot of thought and time into their lyrics, but it's just. For me, with this particular group, the sound is what draws me, and I just love it because it's something that feels old and nostalgic and, like. Yeah, it's just. It's something that. It's rooted in something a lot older, but it's new. And I think that's what I love about it because there's so much out there today that. And this sounds so much different than so much other stuff that's out there today because it sounds old but new. It's like that combination of those two things and love, love, love the voice. But. Yeah, this is a new release, right? [00:26:40] Speaker B: Just came out last couple months. Yeah. [00:26:42] Speaker C: Oh, nice. [00:26:43] Speaker A: Yeah, it was circulating the work. Chat channels at my work this week because somebody saw them live, I think, and was like. And they sent this exact song. What's kind of funny about it is that it's just like. Because of the title is. And that hook is so unique of Sushi and Coca Cola. It's like you're almost just, like, grooving, and you're, like, not really paying attention. Then all of a sudden, you're just like, wait, didn't he just say Sushi and Coca Cola? And then you're like, wait a minute, What? And, like, to Sergio's point, Then you're like, oh, maybe I should go back and listen to what they're saying. But yeah, great sound. Creek group. [00:27:17] Speaker C: I felt like maybe it was like about reminiscing or something. I don't know. [00:27:20] Speaker B: I don't know. Because I couldn't understand the lyrics that well. But I like it because to me it sounds like sort of classic Al Green, sort of Memphis style, old style horns, classic soul type. And I can remember when. Gosh, sushi. You know, we haven't. Unless you lived on the coast. Sushi was like a rare thing. So when sushi hit Denver, it was five years ago. [00:27:49] Speaker A: I'm just kidding. [00:27:51] Speaker D: It was Rocky Mountain oysters. [00:27:52] Speaker A: Right. [00:27:54] Speaker C: Why is it fried? [00:27:56] Speaker B: Yeah, it was like really exotic. But sushi and Coca Cola. No. Yeah, sushi and sake. [00:28:03] Speaker A: Yes, sushi and like a Japanese beer, Keurig Sapporo. [00:28:11] Speaker C: So now I want to do a late night hapa hour. [00:28:16] Speaker B: But yeah, it was like I was talking to John and I told him I'd been listening to a couple of things and the other was Frank Sinatra. I've been listening to a lot of Frank Sinatra lately. But I heard this and I just started playing it over and over and over again because I like that sounding like classic soul but new and nobody else is doing it right now. Except maybe Leon Bridges. [00:28:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:28:49] Speaker B: Anyway, very cool. [00:28:51] Speaker C: The Burrows. Would the Burrows be considered soul or. That's more funk soul. [00:28:55] Speaker B: That's more funk. [00:28:56] Speaker A: Put them in the funk funk camp. Aren't you going to see Leon Bridges or did you go see. No, no. Oh, for some reason. Maybe that's somebody else. Never mind. For some reason somebody I know is going to see him. [00:29:08] Speaker D: And I might point out that this is the second Food Combination song we've had since I've been a part of this. [00:29:14] Speaker C: Really. [00:29:14] Speaker D: My first song I brought in was Boy golden, another Canadian. [00:29:18] Speaker A: Oh, Lunch Meat. [00:29:19] Speaker D: KD and Lunch Meat. And it was Kraft Dinner and Lunch Meat. This is a much more classy combination. I would definitely have sushi and Coca Cola instead of craft dinner. [00:29:34] Speaker A: Oh, man. What we're going to. I'm going to bring cigarettes, chocolate milk next. So that's what I'll bring. I had an old coworker. My last anecdote is I had an old co worker back in Boston who was friends with this band, like knew them through some channel. I don't remember how she met them, but I remember because it was like when that first album or when the 2014 album came out is when I worked there. And I remember her being like, yeah, I know them anyway, I didn't get anything out of it, so whatever. Yeah, cool. Good song, Eric. [00:30:11] Speaker B: Good pick. [00:30:13] Speaker D: Nice. [00:30:14] Speaker C: All right, next up is a song called Stevie and Sly by Young Gun Silver Fox. [00:30:38] Speaker G: Well, you can call me old fashioned But I can't help looking back in wondering if I was born in the wrong time there's something inside is pulling me like a magnet Dropping need of it I can't stop me Give me that magic, man I got to have. [00:31:06] Speaker A: It. [00:31:11] Speaker F: Give me the magic I got to have it Give me the energy Take me back to see it inside Take me back to 1975 is where I want to go when everything was. [00:31:37] Speaker A: Gone. [00:31:49] Speaker F: Go it's where I want to go Give me the magic I got. [00:32:01] Speaker A: A. [00:32:05] Speaker F: Give. [00:32:10] Speaker G: And I'm down at the bottom get them Like I've forgotten. [00:32:18] Speaker D: My. [00:32:18] Speaker G: Reason for breathing Believing to reach it there's something in my soul Feels like. [00:32:30] Speaker F: It'S missing there's only one place where I know I can't go when everything was gone Give me something Hit me in my heart Deep down and grinning it's where I wanna go it's where I wanna go Take me back to Steven. It's you sing about Is where I want to go Never where I want to go it's where I want to go. [00:34:27] Speaker B: Who is that? [00:34:29] Speaker C: That was songs called Stevie and Sly by Young Gun Silver Fox. [00:34:35] Speaker B: I love that. [00:34:37] Speaker A: I really want a glitter jumpsuit and like giant hoop earrings so bad right now. That's like all I want to wear when I'm listening to that. [00:34:47] Speaker B: That was so good. [00:34:48] Speaker A: It was dope. [00:34:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:50] Speaker A: I danced the whole time in my chair. But I like it. [00:34:54] Speaker D: No, it had a great. I thought Steely Dan. Did you guys know Steely Dan? But that. That synthesizer beat with a very steely. [00:35:05] Speaker A: Danish disco, steely dance. [00:35:07] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:35:08] Speaker B: And you know, you don't think about it, but Stevie Wonder dominated the 70s. [00:35:14] Speaker D: Yeah. Oh, yeah. [00:35:15] Speaker B: Four albums. [00:35:16] Speaker D: Oh, for sure. [00:35:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:17] Speaker B: And Sly was. He'd already peaked and was on the downfall by that time. But he was. He was major. [00:35:28] Speaker A: I like how they use those references to make like a catchy line in the chorus. That's cool. Yeah. That was just like a toe tapper from the beginning to sound like an 80 year old woman. But like. Yeah, I just. Dancing from start to finish. Just really liked that a lot. And I tend to agree. Not that I was alive then, but I'd like to experience it. [00:35:57] Speaker C: Go back. [00:35:58] Speaker D: I was. Eric and I were. [00:36:01] Speaker A: Would you recommend it? Thumbs up, thumbs down. [00:36:03] Speaker D: 75. [00:36:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:06] Speaker D: Jimmy Carter. Was just about to become president. The Bee Gees were on the scene, kind of ruining everything for a little while as far as I'm concerned. [00:36:15] Speaker B: Queen was huge. [00:36:16] Speaker D: Yeah, Queen was. [00:36:17] Speaker B: Queen was just. [00:36:19] Speaker D: Bowie was huge then. [00:36:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Queen was out with Bohemian Rhapsody in 75. [00:36:26] Speaker A: All of this sounds great. [00:36:28] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:36:29] Speaker B: But I don't know anything about Young Gun Silverpox, but what a great. [00:36:34] Speaker A: Yeah. What a great. Yeah. Strange name. Great song. [00:36:37] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:36:37] Speaker C: Yeah. Learned about the song because I was driving the car and my Spotify connection wouldn't work, so I had to turn on the radio and it was on 102.3. I think that's the indie station this song was playing. I was like, this is awesome. It was. Yeah. Toe tapping the gas pedal and taking my time and, you know. Yeah. Dancing along. I was like, what is this? And then they mentioned. I was like, Young Gun Silver. And I thought that was the name of the song. [00:37:09] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:37:10] Speaker C: So then I looked it up and turns out this is. This is on their new album that came out not too long ago. Anyway, it's a really fun album. Yeah, I just thought it was a very upbeat and fun song to listen to. [00:37:25] Speaker D: Yeah, no, that was great. [00:37:28] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:37:29] Speaker C: I was going to say something and now I listen to 102.3 because I feel like I've been finding other cool songs on there. [00:37:35] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a good station. [00:37:36] Speaker D: Yeah, I do that. Like, I'll hear it and then they won't say. Sometimes, you know, they're gonna play four back to back and then they won't tell you what the songs are. And for some reason, my car. It'll just give me a fragment of the title. It'll be the heart of. And you don't know what it is. And so I'll pull my phone out and I'll be like, what song is this? But since my phone is also connected to the car, the radio turns off and it's kind of like, what, what would you like? And I'm like, what song is this? And then it listens, but there's no song because. Because the phone is taking over the radio and I can't reason with it. It's bad. [00:38:22] Speaker A: My method is more old, slightly more old school in that I will try my best. So I hear the song, I look at the clock, because I almost exclusively listen to the radio in the car. And so I listen, I look at the clock and I go, okay, it's like 6:07. And then I try to remember when I get home because they post all their playlists and then try to find. Okay, at 6:07 they were playing this song. But I remember when I worked at a radio station, people would call in like from their cars and be like, what song is this? And they would just call the station to ask. But I don't think you can do that these days. [00:38:57] Speaker D: No, there's nobody there. It's just. [00:38:58] Speaker A: Well, some of them, some of them have people, but I don't know if you can contact them as you easily. But. [00:39:05] Speaker D: Yeah, but that's a good point, you know, because you're listening to Spotify, it's got your algorithm, it's figured you out and stuff like. And then to get something from outside of that bubble permeates into your life and all of a sudden it expands you, you know, so. Yeah, because sometimes, I mean, Spotify and everything can be just so great, but it's. We're pretty insular, you know, it's nice to. Nice to get. Get out and find something like that. That's very cool. [00:39:39] Speaker B: I've got Amazon and it has. But the spread of the algorithm is like three genres and I listen to more music than that, but I have to go in and pick it out. [00:39:50] Speaker C: Spotify started doing like their Discover Weekly playlist. I noticed last week that now they're doing it based on genres. So I'm like, oh, I could discover weekly on rock or whatever, you know, hip hop or. I'm like, that's kind of interesting. But otherwise, yeah, it doesn't. If you listen to a lot of different genres of music, it fails at trying to find stuff. [00:40:12] Speaker D: And I'm always suspicious when it says you might like that. That band is actually having to fork over some money to push that. That tune. [00:40:23] Speaker A: A lot of them have to pay to even just be on like some of those Spotify curated playlists and stuff. So it's like, it's all. It's. A lot of it is still pay to play, plus an algorithm which like radio is too, to an extent. Like there's some of that in there as well, but not as much. I think this is my plug to support your public radio stations. [00:40:45] Speaker D: Right. They're having a hard time. [00:40:46] Speaker A: Please give them all your money. [00:40:48] Speaker D: Yeah, that's right. Yep. [00:40:51] Speaker A: Anyway, good dance dancer to you. [00:40:54] Speaker C: Thank you. I try, I try. Thought about bringing metal song when I was like, yeah, nah, I want something hip and sly. All right. The next and last song is called Shadow People by Dr. Dog. [00:41:16] Speaker F: The Rain is falling, it's after dark the streets are swimming with the sharks. It's the right Night for the wrong company and there ain't nothing round here to look at. Move along. [00:41:42] Speaker A: Move along. [00:41:48] Speaker F: The neon lights on Baltimore. Every shadow's getting famous in some backyard? In some plastic chair? Hoping these cigarettes will save us. Here we go again? Here we go again. You got rings in your ears and you got kicked around and made up? Looking high, looking low? Where did all the shadow people go? Where did all the shadow people go? I wanna know where the shadow people were. I stole the bike from the second mile I saw? Been playing the basement across the path of a friend of mine? And I know when they look upon her face, man, something's gone from her eyes? Something's gone wrong? You could be a woman or you could be a man? Wear the glove on the other hand or you could be twisted? Or you could be insane? Pushing the envelope against the rain? Or just playing along? Or just playing along? And I got something on my mind? And I got voices on the other line Saying hi, say hello. Where did all the shadow people go? Where did all the shadow people go? I wanna know where the shadow people go? Where did all the shadow be? Where the shadow people go? Where did all the shadow people go? Where did all the shadow people. Where the shadow people go? Where did all the shadow people go? [00:45:32] Speaker C: That was Shadow People by Dr. Dog. [00:45:36] Speaker B: Is Dr. Dog a band? [00:45:39] Speaker C: Yep, it's a doctor. [00:45:41] Speaker D: It's a veterinarian, physician. [00:45:44] Speaker B: I didn't know if Dr. Dog is a band or a person. [00:45:46] Speaker A: It's a band. Yeah. It's a pretty big, big, bigish band. Not huge, but. [00:45:51] Speaker D: You know, it's funny. It's funny because I've had this on my list in the car, like on Spotify. I just, like, play Dr. Dog. And so I've been listening to a lot of Dr. Dog lately because they're going to be at Red Rocks in the next two or three weeks. [00:46:07] Speaker A: I saw them there in July, at the beginning of July. I was wondering if you were there. I was like, I bet this john. [00:46:13] Speaker D: Might be up my alley. [00:46:16] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:46:17] Speaker D: No, I looked at tickets and then I was thinking about going to that. And then also my Morning Jacket next month, thinking about that. [00:46:26] Speaker A: Have you seen. Sorry to Derail, but have you seen the My Morning Jacket billboard about red rocks on I70? No, it's. What's his name? Jim James or whatever. And it's a quote from him that says red Rocks is the birth canal of the universe. And I'm like, all right. Anyway. [00:46:47] Speaker D: But, yeah, that's where it all began. Yeah. No, I. I really Liked it. And I thought that song, I mean the, the vocals and I don't. I don't know the name of the singer, but his vocals are so simple. I mean it's not really, you know, like an amazing voice, but so simple, so real. And at the same time the, the orchestration and engineering of that song is like there's a lot going on and it keeps you going. And I'm. I don't know who the Shadow People are. Do you? [00:47:19] Speaker A: No, I don't. I don't actually know. I've listened to the song so many times and I'm like, I don't really know what this is. [00:47:24] Speaker D: Definitely. [00:47:24] Speaker A: I don't know what any of it means. [00:47:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I like the whiskey and cigarette sound of the voice of the lead singer. And it got big. I thought it was kind of folky to begin with and all of a sudden it just expanded sort of exponentially and made it more interesting, I thought. [00:47:47] Speaker C: I haven't listened to Dr. Daw or remembered about. Until you brought it up saying that you were going to go to concert and I'd never heard the song before. But yeah, I love the progression of it. And also like some of the sound effects at the beginning. There were some like really cool sounds in there. Yeah. I'm curious to know who the Shadow People are. [00:48:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I know I should look up. Like I meant to, but this was a last minute decision because I knew I wanted to bring a doctor Dog song but like I did not know what to bring. I asked Jay because I was like, I need you to be the tiebreaker because I don't know what to bring. Cause they've been making music. Well, I think their first album came out in like 2003 and I'm sure they were making music before then, but I mean they've been around for a long time so there's a lot to choose from. And I think the other thing that's hard too with them is. And it's one of the reasons why I like this group is that there's two singers. So depending on the song you pick, it could have an entirely different like vocal sound. It's still always kind of doctor Dog but like depending on which song, like there's another song I was gonna from that. Like, I forget what that album was called, like psychedelic something. It was like 2016 when it came out. But I really like the song Bring My Baby Back on that song and that's the other singer who sings that one. But it would be like a totally different experience. So I Think that's what's kind of interesting about them is that they like at. At its core it's the same sound but depending on who's singing it could be like a completely different. I wonder if there are people who like, like Dr. Dog, but only like some of the songs based on who's singing or something. But yes, I did see them at Red Rocks and they've been on heavy rotation since then. It was probably the best show I've seen there at Red Rocks. Yeah, it was really, really good. They were really incredible and they. This song was dedicated to a 10 year old because apparently it's some 10 year old's favorite song because it was his birthday or something and I was like cool, cool. I have the same taste as a 10 year old. But yeah, it was a really, really good show. And I had seen them. The last time I saw them was in 2006 in New York City at CMJ. So it was like. And they were pretty smart. We, I saw them at some tiny itty bitty little club. Um, so it was kind of neat to see them there and then see them at Red Rocks, like two very different venues. [00:50:24] Speaker D: Because you never hear them on the radio. [00:50:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean I hear them on the Colorado sound like occasionally. Occasionally, but like not that often, which is crazy. Like because they have a huge following. That show was like probably sold out. And then I mean they've played on like Colbert and all the like late night shows and stuff like that. And I think they toured with the Black Keys. So it's like. Yeah, they have a pretty big following. [00:50:50] Speaker D: I just came in late one night and just turned on the television. They were on Austin City Limits and that's the first time I ever saw them. And I'm like, who are these guys? And it was like being in a car and they just singing all these songs and you had to hang in there to see what this band is. [00:51:06] Speaker A: Pretty cool. [00:51:07] Speaker F: So. [00:51:07] Speaker A: So yeah, that's cool. Yeah, I love their instrumentation. I like how they play with rhythm in the vocals and in the music. And yeah, I just like how the layers of different types of sounds. Like you've got electric guitar and then kind of sort of honky tonk piano and things like that. It's just interesting in a unique sound that you don't hear in a lot of other groups. And I think that's why I like them. But yeah, it was a great show. Highly recommend seeing them if you can. You gotta get on that pre sale. That's how you save the moolah. [00:51:48] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:51:52] Speaker A: Cool. All right, well, that's it for today. Great episode, everybody. Great songs. Does anybody have anything else they want to throw out there? We wrap? [00:52:04] Speaker C: No. [00:52:06] Speaker A: Yeah, we're all tired. Well, don't forget. Tell us what we should listen to. Drop a comment below the video or email [email protected] until next time. Bye. See you. [00:52:18] Speaker B: See you.
