Episode Transcript

[00:00:05] Speaker A: Hey, everyone. Welcome to another episode of what I listened to this week. We're back. Eric's here. Hey, Eric. [00:00:13] Speaker B: Hey. [00:00:14] Speaker A: Sergio's here. [00:00:14] Speaker C: What's up? [00:00:15] Speaker A: I'm here. Melanie. Hi. Thanks for tuning in. So with our new season three format, we start every show with what's new and good. And Eric told me before we started what his. Well, he hinted what his new and good thing was, so I'm really excited about it. So we're gonna go to him first. [00:00:37] Speaker B: So my new and good thing is Sunday, I went to a friend's birthday party at Left Ham Brewery and discovered a new beer that I really like. It's called Bittersweet. It's a coffee stout. It's 9% ABV. And it was good. It was just like a couple of them and it puts you in a really good place. [00:01:00] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:01:01] Speaker B: Yeah. So I would definitely recommend that. [00:01:04] Speaker A: It's a left hand beer, I'm assuming. [00:01:06] Speaker B: Yes. [00:01:06] Speaker A: Yeah. For those of you who don't know, Left Hand Brewing is in Longmont here. That's awesome. Ooh, and 9% too. Yeah, you don't need more than a couple before you're sailing. Sailing high. [00:01:20] Speaker B: A couple was just perfect. [00:01:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, that sounds great. Actually, I'd be down for trying something like that. Cool. That's new and good. I would say it's new and great. Sergio, what's new and good with you? [00:01:39] Speaker C: I forgot we were doing this. Yeah, we've just been watching a lot of movies since the Oscars are this coming weekend, so we've been trying to watch all the best pictures and the local movie theater's been doing, I think, $5 best picture movies all week or for two weeks or something like that. Anyway. So, yeah, we've just been watching a lot of. A lot of movies, trying to. [00:02:10] Speaker A: That was me. Yep. What's your favorite of the ones you've seen recently? Is it that Demi Moore one? [00:02:19] Speaker C: Yeah, I think. Yeah. I was just saying earlier, before we recorded the podcast. Yeah. Just watched the substance and I think. Yeah, very unique, very original. I just love the intensity of it. The soundtrack is phenomenal. Kind of reminded me of Challengers, kind of that techno, just like in your face. Just. Yeah, it was just really good. Yeah. Highly recommend people watch it. [00:02:43] Speaker A: Cool. Um, yeah, I was kind of struggling to figure out what's new, but last Friday I replaced the belt on my turntable. So that's new and good. [00:03:01] Speaker C: Hell, yeah. [00:03:02] Speaker A: I had the. I had a very old belt that was pretty stretched out and it was working okay, but it was time and I had noticed that every now and again, like it would. A record would not sound right. It would sound like too slow or something like that. So I ordered a new belt a few weeks ago and it came in and then Friday afternoon I finally installed it and. Sounds great. Listen to a record that I had bought. We had bought kind of in the interim between belts that we hadn't listened to yet. And so we finally got to listen to that. So that was cool. But that's a literal new thing. And it's also. It's good. So that's my new and good. Not that exciting, but, you know, new. [00:03:52] Speaker C: Belt on a turntable. Always a good day. [00:03:55] Speaker A: It's music related. So I get bonus points for that, I guess. [00:04:00] Speaker C: No bonus points for Eric and I. [00:04:05] Speaker A: All right. So that's what's new and good. Let's get into the music. [00:04:09] Speaker C: Sounds good. First song for today is titled Moonlight Mile by Jazz Hole. One word. Jazz Hole. And we're going to play it and then talk about it afterward. And. Sorry, I had another song playing. Oops, here we go. [00:05:06] Speaker D: When the wind blows and the rain feels cold With a head full of snow With a head full of snow in the window there's a face you know don't the night nights pass slow don't the nights pass slow the sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind Just another man, man day on the. [00:05:50] Speaker C: Road. [00:05:54] Speaker D: I am just living to be lying by your side But I'm just about a moonlight on down the road Made a rag Honey clothes going to warm my bones Going to warm my bones I got silence on my radio Let the air waves flow Let the air waves flow oh, I am so sleeping under strange, strange skies Just another mad, mad day on the road. [00:07:11] Speaker A: My. [00:07:11] Speaker D: Dreams is fading down the railway line I'm just about a moonlight mile down the road and I'm dreaming Riding down your Like I'm hiding, baby and a dream I'm riding down your light in. [00:08:13] Speaker E: My. [00:08:17] Speaker D: I'm riding down your moonlight miles It Let it go now Come on, let it go I'm a consecrated man Let it go let it go now, baby Said I move on up Let it go now, baby Just about a moonlight on down the road down the road on down the road on down the road. [00:10:08] Speaker C: That was Moonlight Mile by Jazz Hole Spacey. [00:10:14] Speaker A: I like that. It sounded like satellite music. Like it was. We were going off into space. So I. My initial reaction was like, oh, this would be a great. Like there's this playlist that I listen to sometimes when I'm writing called Lo Fi Beats. And it's just kind of like this sort of, like, mellow, kind of quiet playlist that's. Sometimes there's vocals, sometimes there isn't, But. But it's kind of like. I don't want to call it background music. It's. That makes. It doesn't. That makes it sound less interesting than it is. But I was like, oh, this would be such a great song to like, put on, like, while I'm writing or while I'm, like, trying to, like, be creative and be in a creative headspace. That was my sort of initial reaction to it. I also was reminded a little bit of 07. Does anybody remember them? They were. They got really big when that Garden State movie came out because they were on that soundtrack. So I don't know when that was, like, maybe 2002 ish. But they. Their format was, like, mostly kind of instrumental, sort of. I want to call it, like, spacey, kind of ethereal, sort of like instrumental electronic music. And then they would bring in different vocalists to sing over it. And I was also kind of reminded of that a little bit, which is kind of cool. I love the break in the middle where it gets a little bit more upbeat and funky, and then it kind of goes back to sort of the mellows. That was kind of interesting. Yeah. [00:11:57] Speaker C: You always find these swanky songs, Eric. [00:12:01] Speaker A: Classy. Yeah, he's a classy guy. [00:12:04] Speaker C: Every time your swanky level just keeps going, like, bonus swanky points there. Yeah, I love, like. Yeah. How, like, spacey space sounds. It's. Yeah, it was. It was really fun. I was not expecting vocals in it, but I really. [00:12:21] Speaker A: Yeah, I was going to say that also surprised me. Yeah. [00:12:23] Speaker C: Yeah. I really enjoyed. Yeah. His. His voice. And I feel like I could just listen to this, like, on repeat. Yeah, that was really good. [00:12:34] Speaker B: So the story of this song is that I know I was doing a deep dive into this song because it's a Rolling Stone song and it's one of my top five Rolling Stones songs. So I was listening to all these different versions. Cowboy Junkies, Lucinda Williams. And this one just came out, like, a week ago, and I just sort of ran across it, and I've been playing it on repeat ever since. Wow. I like it. [00:13:04] Speaker A: Were you looking to listen to the Rolling Stones one and then, like, these other ones came up? [00:13:09] Speaker B: No, I was. Well, I was. I heard the Rolling Stones one. I said, well, let me see what else anybody has done with this. And there's at least a dozen versions. [00:13:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:20] Speaker B: So I thought, well, this is my current favorite one, so let me just do this. And I like it. [00:13:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:28] Speaker B: This group I don't know anything about, they've got, like, two songs out. Wow. There are some jazz collective out of New York. [00:13:36] Speaker A: Interesting. [00:13:38] Speaker B: Yeah. There's not much about them anywhere, but Jassel. There they are. [00:13:43] Speaker A: Yeah. That's cool. And, like. And you like this interpretation, obviously, of a song if you've been listening to it on repeat? Yeah, I'd say. I don't think I know that Rolling Stone song, but it's, like, I would imagine, very different. [00:13:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:00] Speaker A: Like, the name. The name sounded familiar to me, like, when I saw it on the playlist. So now I guess that makes sense why I've probably, like, heard of that Rolling Stone song, but I don't know that song specifically. [00:14:13] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know if it's. It's. I don't think it's obscure, but it's not one of the more popular. [00:14:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. And the band name is kind of funny, too, so. Don't be a jazz hole, man. Come on. I could see, like, my dad in the 90s listening to this, like, drinking a martini. [00:14:36] Speaker C: I want to own a swanky bar with you. [00:14:38] Speaker A: Yeah, right. [00:14:39] Speaker C: Yeah, swanky. [00:14:41] Speaker B: It would be really swanky. [00:14:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I'll go in on that, too. If you need an investor. [00:14:47] Speaker C: Call it Eric. [00:14:48] Speaker A: Yeah, Eric is like, chief vibe officer. Chief vibes for the swanky bar that we're opening. I love it. Cool. Cool stuff, Eric. Thank you. I'm definitely gonna. Yeah, listen to this one. All right, what's next? DJ Serendeo. [00:15:08] Speaker C: Next up is a song called. Hold on, Let me just scroll down to it. We've got a lot of songs on here that we've accumulated over time. All right, the name of the song is called you look like youe Love Me by Ella Langley and Riley Greene. [00:15:38] Speaker F: I was all but 22, I think, at the time I'd been out on the road lonely at night and it'd been a while, so it was on my mind. Well, I saw him walk in with his cowboy hat and I thought to myself I could use some of that his boots like glass on a sawdust floor had moves like nothing I'd ever seen before so I walked right up and I pulled him to the side I handed that man a beer, looked him in the eyes and I said, baby, I think you're gonna want to hear this. Then I told him, excuse me. [00:16:25] Speaker G: You look like you love me. You look like you want me to want you to come on home. [00:16:36] Speaker F: Baby. [00:16:37] Speaker G: I don't blame you for looking me up and down across this room I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave and you look like you love me. [00:16:53] Speaker H: Well, I was down at a local beer joint with a few of the guys, this cute little country girl called my aunt and boy, let me tell you, she was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen in a pair of boots. Well, she walked right up to me, handed me a beer, gave me a look like, let's get out of here. And that's when I realized that she was every cowboy's dream come true. She told me this right here. [00:17:21] Speaker G: She said, excuse me. You look like you love me you look like you want me to want you to come on home and baby, I don't blame you for looking me up and down across this room. I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave and you look like you love me all right now. [00:18:07] Speaker F: So if you ever see a man in a cowboy hat, can you thing to yourself, I could use some of that? Don't waste your time. Just give him this here line goes. [00:18:19] Speaker G: A little like this. [00:18:22] Speaker F: Excuse me. [00:18:24] Speaker G: You look like you love me you look like you want me to want you to come on home and baby, I don't blame you, you for looking me up and down across this room. I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave and you look like you love me. I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave and you look like you love me. [00:19:14] Speaker B: That was so good. It was such a country. Country song. I mean, it has all the sort of country music elements, but the story was so good. I love. [00:19:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know. I'm not a country music person at all. So it's like I like the sort of. The one thing I did like about it was kind of like the back and forth talky. Talky with singing. Is that like a country that's like. Is that like a trope in country music to go back and forth between. I thought that was kind of cool, but, yeah, I mean, it's just not my. Generally not my style. I think part of it is, like, the vocals, to me, just sound super overproduced when they're singing. But I mean, maybe that. That's not. Maybe I'm wrong about that. But I think that was one thing that I didn't like about it. But, yeah, I mean, I think it was cutesy is how I would call it. And I think. I think that's what I'm trying to, like, put my Finger on it. Because I don't just want to say I don't like country music. Because that's not fair. [00:20:33] Speaker C: You could say that. [00:20:34] Speaker A: No, that's not fair. It's not, like, a good justification. It's also too general. [00:20:38] Speaker C: I think you have to justify your music case. [00:20:41] Speaker A: Well, I think for me, what it is is that oftentimes when I hear music like this, I'm immediately, boo. I don't like it. But I shouldn't be like that, right? Like, I should be a little bit more open to it. So I'm like, I'm not saying that it's, like, my favorite song, but I think that, like, I'm just trying to. I'm trying to analyze. I'm trying to analyze, like, what it is about it that I don't like, rather than just saying, like, I don't like it because it's country music. Like, what is it about it that I don't like? Right. I think it's partially, like, the vocal sounding kind of overproduced. I think it's the. Yeah, I think it's, like, the general. I just feel like every country song I know is about, like, getting drunk in a bar, and it's like, damn it. I know that's not true either, but I'm like, the original. But I did really, like, kind of the back and forth. Like, when she was starting, I was like, ooh, I wonder where this is going. It's kind of like a cool way of, like, telling a story. And then the guy came in, and I was like, oh, I wasn't expecting that. That's interesting. But, yeah, I mean, I don't hate it. It's just, like, not my. It's just generally not my vibe, I think. But it's just. Yeah. Anyway, interesting. Now I want to hear all about it. What's the deal with it? [00:21:59] Speaker C: I mean, I discovered the song earlier this month. A couple friends and I have, like, a shared playlist on Spotify. And I saw the song. I was like, what is this song? And I was like, immediately, just like, I thought it was great. I normally don't listen to country, but I thought the story was really funny and the back and forth was great. And I just loved how normally, I think in most country songs, usually about the guy meeting the girl, but now it's like the woman meeting the guy and just being like, yeah, it's been a while. I haven't had sex. I could use some of that. And I'm like, you know, that's such a clever line. Like, Yeah, I could use some of that. [00:22:39] Speaker A: And I think that's why I was like, in the beginning I was like, where is this going? Because this is like, it's different, right? Because normally you're like, it's the dude who's at the bar trying to swindle a drunk lady to come home with him. [00:22:55] Speaker C: So she's a recently, I think, like relatively new artist and I think this song she wrote like over a day based on like something a similar experience. True life experience. [00:23:10] Speaker A: Possibly True life bar. [00:23:11] Speaker C: True love. Yeah, True life bar experience. Anyway. Yeah, I just thought it was a fun song. Obviously. I had started listening to it before Valentine's Day, so I thought it was a cutesy song, but. [00:23:24] Speaker A: Cutesy, cutesy. [00:23:26] Speaker C: I don't know. I had a lot of fun with it. So it's kind of been on repeat. [00:23:30] Speaker A: The name Riley Greene sounded. Is that the female? [00:23:33] Speaker C: No, I think that's the guy. [00:23:36] Speaker A: That name sounded really familiar and I don't know why. Like, I don't know if I've heard another song with them or. Or something, but it rang a bell and then I didn't, I didn't like. I mean, I just heard it so I didn't look it up. [00:23:50] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't. I don't know much about Riley Grain, but I don't know. There's a music video too. It's pretty, like old timey and cutesy. Yeah, I think that's. [00:24:00] Speaker A: Now the Honky tonk. Honky tonky tonk would not be at the Swanky Bar. Very different. Yeah, I could see, like, I have like a very distinct group of people in my head that in a family that I've married into that would, would. I could see them really loving this song. Like, I know a bunch of people who would really love this song. I was also reminded of one time. This is sort of a weird aside, but I was. I think I was in a spin class and somebody was like. She said, the second I hear a song come on and I hear twang, I just want to punch somebody in the throat. And I was like, I was just laughing so hard because I was like, I feel like I have a, like a reaction to country music, but I'm like, it's not that. Like, it's not. I'm gonna punch somebody in the throat. It was like, so intense. And I'm like, in Colorado too. I was like, that's kind of surprising. [00:25:05] Speaker B: It's like childhood trauma stuff coming out. [00:25:07] Speaker A: It's like, really, it's all coming out. It's like, really intense. And also, like, at a spin class is, like, not what you're expecting the conversation to be, but, yeah, cool. Cutesy. [00:25:20] Speaker C: Cutesy. [00:25:21] Speaker A: I love it. [00:25:23] Speaker C: All right, the next song is called Some Girls Are Bigger than others. The 2011 remaster by the Smiths. [00:26:13] Speaker D: I. [00:26:14] Speaker I: Have just discovered Some girls are bigger than others. Some girls are bigger than others. Some girls, Mothers Are bigger than other girls. Mothers. Some girls are bigger than others. Some girls are bigger than others. Some girls, Mothers are bigger than other girls are mother. Some girls are bigger than others. Some girls are bigger than others Some girls Mothers are bigger than others. To mothers. Some girls are bigger than others. Some girls are bigger than others. Some girls. Mothers are bigger than other girls Mother. [00:28:55] Speaker B: Okay, that. [00:28:56] Speaker A: So that sounded, like, cutesy, right? No, I'm just kidding. It's just the word of the day. The word of the day. [00:29:03] Speaker B: It sounded like an older song than 2011. [00:29:07] Speaker A: Yeah, it came out in the 80s. The 2011 was, like, the remaster. [00:29:10] Speaker B: Okay. All right, cool. [00:29:12] Speaker A: You're not losing. [00:29:14] Speaker B: Sounds like the Smiths, but it sounds like the Cure. It sounds like the Police. Yeah. And it had that 80s vibe. And I'm thinking, whoa, this came out in 2011. [00:29:27] Speaker A: Wow. [00:29:28] Speaker B: They reassembled. They reformed to make this, and this is it. Yeah, but if they made it in the 80s, then, yeah, it's cool. I liked it. [00:29:42] Speaker C: Okay. [00:29:42] Speaker B: Why don't you guys do something? [00:29:44] Speaker C: What do I think? [00:29:44] Speaker A: What do I think? [00:29:45] Speaker C: No, Yeah, I liked it. I think the. It's funny. I was gonna say, like, the lyrics are, like, repetitive ish or whatever. They're spelled. [00:29:55] Speaker B: They're just repetitive. [00:29:56] Speaker C: Yeah. It's just like. I'm like, okay. I guess I want to know what the meaning, like, what is the intent behind the song? Like, where. What's the story? But it did remind me of, like, the Police or. Yeah. All their good 80s music. Yeah. I've never listened to the Smiths before. [00:30:11] Speaker A: Yeah. I brought the Smiths because. Well, there's a couple reasons. One, I've just been randomly listening to them when I was in college. I loved them. Like, classic emo girl. Like, sad about everything. Like, sit in a dark room and listen to the Smiths and, like, cry about it. Right. And they're definitely one of the. [00:30:29] Speaker B: How did you get through college? [00:30:33] Speaker A: Drugs. The Smiths. The Smiths and drugs. Yeah. And it's funny because they're one of those bands. I feel like we talked about this a few episodes ago, but they're like one of those bands that I listened to so much when I was in college. And, like, now I can only do them in, like, small doses. I still really like them and there's like, a special place in my heart for them. But, like, after like, four or five songs, I'm like, I get it, everybody. But yeah, I was listening to them because I was listening to a. Like a. A playlist that was like the Cure, Stone Roses, the Smiths. It was like a bunch of those kinds of bands. And also my gym has randomly been playing the Smiths a lot. I don't know why it's such a weird. Especially at like, 6:30 in the morning when you're, like, on the bike and you're like, what? The Smiths? Like, what are we doing, everybody? It's very weird. [00:31:28] Speaker C: The gym is going through an emo phase. [00:31:30] Speaker A: Yeah, it feels like it. At least at 6am it is. But so I was sort of, like, reminded of them and I was like, oh, yeah. And so I was going through a bunch of their songs. And I remember this song was like my. One of my favorite songs back in the day. So one of the reasons why I like it is because Johnny Marr, who's the guitarist, like, I just love them. The music of this song. And if you go down, like, the rabbit hole of the Internet, there's a lot of people who are, like, pissed at Morrissey for the lyrics that he wrote over Johnny Marr's music in this particular song. There's also a lot of people who. [00:32:07] Speaker B: Are pissed at Morrissey for everything. His entire existence. [00:32:11] Speaker A: Yeah, his whole existence. There's also a lot of people who are the polar opposite and think he's like, God's gift to the world and will worship the ground he walks on. [00:32:18] Speaker B: He's not Brian Perry. [00:32:20] Speaker A: Yeah. So I think, to your point, Sergio, about, like, the meaning of it. So the Internet seems to think that it's sort of. So Morrissey's thing was like, writing cheeky, funny lyrics, clever lyrics, but, like, they have a deeper meaning kind of a thing. So, like, a lot of people think that this song is about how, like, some relationships have a bigger impact on you than other relationships. So, like, you break up with somebody, sometimes it's like you walk away from that relationship and you're like, yeah, whatever. And you, like, forget about them. And sometimes you walk away from relationships and they, like, have a. You know, they were more affected more if they affected you more than others. So that's what, like, I feel like the general Internet consensus seems to think the song is about. And he's also kind of. It was from the 80s where there was sort of this obsession with, like, women being bigger in certain parts of their bodies and being therefore more attractive. And so it was sort of poking at that. [00:33:22] Speaker C: Gotcha. [00:33:23] Speaker B: And that's why he's saying, some girls, mothers are bigger than others. [00:33:27] Speaker C: Yeah, okay, I didn't catch that part. [00:33:31] Speaker A: I didn't catch that part. Yeah, so again, like, that. That's what he does. Like, he has, like, kind of like sort of funny, silly, cheeky lyrics to try to, like, get people's attention. But they sometimes have a deeper meaning. Sometimes I think he's just trying to be funny. But yeah, so that seems to be the general consensus of what it's about, is about relationships and how certain ones have bigger impact on you than others. But, yeah, I always liked this song because of the music behind it more than the lyrics. Although I always thought lyrics were kind of funny. I'm like, haha, yeah, that's funny. It's true. Subjectively true. [00:34:18] Speaker C: Are you being objective here? [00:34:20] Speaker A: Yeah, but I actually. I brought the Smiths too. Not only because I've listened to them, because I was, like, curious what your opinions were on them. Because a lot of people don't like his voice at all. And I was like, oh, I wonder what Eric and Sergio think of Morrissey. [00:34:34] Speaker B: Yeah, that period of Morrissey's. [00:34:37] Speaker A: Okay, yeah, I agree. [00:34:39] Speaker C: Those other period. Yeah, I guess I would have to. [00:34:41] Speaker A: It's a little Morrissey. Kind of like. [00:34:45] Speaker C: I'd have to listen to some other of his stuff. [00:34:47] Speaker A: Yeah. So this is off the Queen Is Dead album, which I really like. A lot of the songs on the Queen Is Dead album, like, frankly, Mr. Shankly is a really good song. Cemetery Gates is a really, really good song. If you're, like, into, like, British literature, it's got some fun references to it. And then I think me is Murder is the other. Like, I think that one just turned like 40 recently. 40 years old. But I feel like that's the other one that a lot of people like. But I've never been one, like, in recent years. I can't listen to a whole album all the way through. It's like, too much for me. It's too depressing. [00:35:30] Speaker C: His voice sounded familiar. [00:35:31] Speaker A: I don't know, maybe I. Oh, you've probably heard some. [00:35:34] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, I wasn't annoyed by it, I think. Yeah, I was paying more attention. I love the music behind it. And then the lyrics. I was like, okay, yeah, that's true. Sure. But what are you trying to say here? Are you making fun of women, are you not? [00:35:51] Speaker A: Yeah, he's an interesting character. I had a college roommate who named her dog after him. [00:36:00] Speaker C: Interesting. [00:36:01] Speaker A: It was a dachshund. [00:36:02] Speaker C: Well, some dogs are bigger than others. [00:36:04] Speaker A: Yeah. And some dachshunds are usually really small anyway. Yeah. But I was just kind of. You've probably heard how soon is Now. That's probably the song, you know, by them. If you looked that up, you'd be like, oh, I know this one. [00:36:16] Speaker C: Okay. [00:36:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:17] Speaker C: Now I have to go down a Smith's rabbit hole. [00:36:19] Speaker A: Yeah, well, just make sure you're, like, emotionally strong for it. Cool. Yeah, that's. That's my song. And I also brought a bonus song. If we want to do that, but we don't have to. [00:36:31] Speaker B: Why don't we do it? [00:36:33] Speaker A: All right, let's do it. [00:36:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:36] Speaker C: What is the bonus song? [00:36:38] Speaker A: So it's called Voicemail Blues and it's by Jasmina Horn. Oh, do you know her? [00:36:42] Speaker B: I know her. [00:36:44] Speaker A: This one. Kuvo loves this song. Right now, every time I'm cooking dinner on a Wednesday night, they play this song. I don't know why. [00:36:52] Speaker C: Voicemail Blues by Jasmina Horn. [00:36:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:55] Speaker C: Okay. Because there's, like another. There's a couple other versions, actually. [00:36:58] Speaker A: Oh, hopefully this is the right one that I added. I added it to the playlist. [00:37:02] Speaker C: Oh, you did? [00:37:03] Speaker A: Yeah, I just. Hopefully I added the right one. We'll know pretty soon if it's the right one. [00:37:10] Speaker C: Okay. All right. Here's bonus song Voicemail Blues by Jasmia Horne. [00:37:17] Speaker E: Well, hello, you've reached the voicemail of Jazz Horn, but I'm not home, so leave a mess after the tone and I will call you back. And as a matter of fact, life goes like that now. Peace and love, kisses and us. You've reached the Voicemail Blues. Well, hello, you've reached the voicemail of Jazz Horn, but I'm not home, so leave a message after the tone and I will call you back. And as a matter of perfect life goes like that now, peace and love, kisses and hugs. You reach the voicemail blue. [00:37:59] Speaker A: That is the best outgoing message ever. Jesse, Heather Danvert calling for Jazz FM 91 in Toronto. [00:38:06] Speaker G: Hi, mommy. Hi, mama. Love you so much. She's playing with the voice right now. Please call us back. [00:38:15] Speaker D: Hey, J. Going. How you doing? [00:38:17] Speaker G: Richie Workman here. [00:38:18] Speaker D: I just want you to know I'm.

[00:38:24] Speaker A: I'm going to want to call you back just to hear your voicemail. [00:38:27] Speaker E: That Was beautiful. [00:38:28] Speaker A: My name is Michelle, calling from the home school legal defense Association. What's up, knucklehead? [00:38:34] Speaker G: You're on the call when you just message. Hey, guys, your voicemail is based uniform. [00:38:40] Speaker E: Yeah, I'm just calling the check in. [00:38:41] Speaker D: When you say baby. [00:39:14] Speaker F: I like. [00:39:45] Speaker E: Hello, you've reached the voicemail of jazz horn. But I'm not home, so leave a message after the tone and I'll call you back. And as a matter of fact, life goes like that. Peace and love, kisses and hugs. You breach the voicemail. Blues, you've reached the voice. Male blues, you've reached the voice. Male voice. [00:40:14] Speaker D: Male blue. [00:40:16] Speaker G: What's up, Jazz di here, man. [00:40:19] Speaker D: If I knew that was your voicemail. [00:40:22] Speaker E: Blues, I love your voicemail. [00:40:28] Speaker A: I'm tired of kisses and hugs. M. [00:40:34] Speaker E: Come me back later, alligator at the wild Cracker. [00:40:47] Speaker F: I was just calling to actually check on y'all. I do pray that the most high God continue to protect your coming in. [00:40:54] Speaker E: Okay, gotta go. [00:40:56] Speaker B: Just returning your call every. [00:40:58] Speaker A: And that is all. Have a good ball. Misha Grass. Oh. [00:41:09] Speaker B: Well, that's funny. [00:41:10] Speaker A: Yeah, it's pretty great. The weird thing to me is that a radius. So KUVO is for those who are listening. Kuvo's, the local jazz station in Denver. They're playing it so much, and it's, like, such a weird song to hear when you're, like, driving or, like, you have it on in the kitchen, and all of a sudden you're like, what is going on? Like, who are all these people that are just talking? It's very odd to listen to on a radio station, but it's pretty fun. All I can think of, though, is the episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza is singing his voicemail, his answering machine message. That's all I could think of the first time I heard this. But, yeah, it's pretty fun. [00:41:55] Speaker C: Yeah, that was a lot. Yeah. Wow. I never thought I needed that in my life, but, yeah, I love it. Yeah, she's like, scat, right? [00:42:04] Speaker A: She's like, scatting over the voicemail. [00:42:07] Speaker C: That was like the most unique. Wow. I'm just. [00:42:09] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:42:10] Speaker C: I'll have to send this over to some other friends because I listen to a lot of jazz when they think about it, but that was a lot of fun. [00:42:17] Speaker B: I liked it. Reggie Workman called. Reggie Work, Yeah. Incredible bass player. And I thought maybe he's doing the guy doing the bass because the bass was really good. [00:42:28] Speaker A: Oh, maybe. Yeah. I didn't look up who else is on this. I think it's off her Most recent album. What was I gonna say about it, though? Oh, the editing and the producing on it. Like, well done. Round of applause. Like, timing certain things in a certain way. Like, I think it was. It felt like it was done very thoughtfully. Yeah. Just a super unique song. When I first heard it, I sent it to a bunch of people because I was like, oh, my gosh, this is wild. Yeah. There's another song by her that I feel like they have on heavy rotation right now that I really like, but I can't remember what it's called. I think it's off that same album, but she's great. [00:43:13] Speaker B: Okay. [00:43:14] Speaker A: Anyway, that's the bonus song, everybody. Anything else to add? [00:43:18] Speaker C: You know, I could use some of that. I. I didn't know I needed that. [00:43:22] Speaker A: Yeah, that's great. That's great. [00:43:25] Speaker B: Now I have to go back and look up her work because I haven't. I know who she is. I haven't listened to that much of her music. [00:43:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:33] Speaker B: But she reminds me of a couple of other young black women jazz singers, Samara Joy and Cecile McLaurin Savant, who are also incredible singers, too. Yeah, listen to them, too. If you're listening to her, listen to them. [00:43:50] Speaker A: Okay, will do. Thanks, Eric. All right, well, thanks, everyone, for tuning in.
