The nose test, and then I'll do the taste test, and I'm just like, oh, yes. I'm getting, you know, a bubble gum and raisins with hints of paprika. [00:01:04] Speaker B: Bubblegum and raisins episode title immediately.

[00:01:39] Speaker A: That's the episode title. [00:01:40] Speaker B: That's like, oh, boy, I feel weird about that now. [00:01:44] Speaker A: Well, but I see. [00:01:45] Speaker B: I see.

[00:01:59] Speaker A: Welcome to Sip and Mimos, where Elliot and I do our thing and talk about 90s rock and electronica music. [00:02:08] Speaker B: We almost didn't see you there. [00:02:10] Speaker A: We almost didn't see you there on this audio podcast. [00:02:17] Speaker B: All right. [00:02:18] Speaker A: Yeah, so this is. We're in season three now of Sip and Mimos. And if you're wondering about the name, we developed this show while enjoying a nice mimosa in South Austin. [00:02:32] Speaker B: That's right. Let's give the origin story. [00:02:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:41] Speaker B: You will give the people an ideal to serve towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the podcast. [00:02:51] Speaker A: I like that. What is that? Is that Gladiator? [00:02:56] Speaker B: Thank you for noticing my Russell Crowe impression, but it's actually from man of Steel. [00:03:01] Speaker A: Okay. [00:03:04] Speaker B: Every night, I tuck my daughter into bed, I say that exact monologue will get the people ideal strength for us. Okay, so, like, no pressure, right? [00:03:17] Speaker A: I love it. [00:03:19] Speaker B: I love it too. [00:03:20] Speaker A: If you're just coming to sip and Elliot and I came up with this show idea while enjoying a mimosa in South Austin. And for the first couple of shows, we. We talk, we shared mimosas. And then tracking down champagne and orange juice became a thing before, you know, we would run out of time. And now, you know, enjoy whatever we. Whatever we can. [00:03:47] Speaker B: We're just getting by and like, and enjoying our. Each other's company and having a loosey goosey beverage and. But most importantly, this is the show where Jake and I compare and contrast radio rock and electronica albums from the 90s. But. But today is a special day, is it not, Jake? [00:04:05] Speaker A: Today is a special day. You're tuning in on a special 2001 episode. Last year, we. We did our inaugural 2000s episode. [00:04:15] Speaker B: Right. Do you remember what our. What our two albums were from. From the year 2000? [00:04:20] Speaker A: Elliot Smith's Figure 8 and the Avalanches. [00:04:29] Speaker B: Since I Left. You. [00:04:30] Speaker A: Since I Left. [00:04:32] Speaker B: Which is. Which were both, like, awesome. It's, It's. It's also like an excuse for us to, like, pick one awesome album out of the year as we explore the odds. You know, what happened to these scenes and like, these music movements after 99. And now we're delving into 2001. We've. We've souped up our DeLorean. We put a. What's this. What's the thing that he. The. The Mr. Fusion. Mr. Fusion, that, that, that Mr. Recycling, like Doc Brown puts on the back of the DeLorean he puts up. Puts a bunch of, like, banana peels in it. He's like, okay, no, we can go. There's something. Something has to be done. But your kids. So we're. We're gonna flash to the future in a minute, but also waiting to catch up. [00:05:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Elliot, what's been new? Have you seen, heard, tasted, smell anything cool lately? [00:05:30] Speaker B: Smelled anything? My apartment smelled like weed the other day. I don't know why. I think it's because I'd made Indian. [00:05:38] Speaker A: Food smell like raisins. And that was the first. The first paprika. I can't even think I said it. [00:05:47] Speaker B: Have you ever had paprika raisins? [00:05:50] Speaker A: No. That's good. [00:05:53] Speaker B: I have no idea. It sounds good. [00:05:55] Speaker A: It does sound good. [00:05:58] Speaker B: I've had a few adventures. And since the last record, my neighbor one. My one neighbor asked me, like, hey, man, you're a drummer, right? I'm like, Yeah, I drum, I drum, I drum. He's like, do you want to do this thing, Thing, this flash mob thing where we. Where like, you wouldn't have to do much, but you'll get paid and all this good stuff? Like, okay, like, what do I, what I have to do? He's like, well, I have to go to the rehearsal. Like, okay. And then you have to show up like the next morning at like probably like 5:00am I'm like, okay, that sounds like an all nighter. Okay, I can do that. So the. What, what the, what the flash mob is, is there's a bunch of dancers that burst out of nowhere during this business meeting, this conference, and start dancing. I'm like on a zoom call with the organizer. I'm like, so this is like the end of your meeting, right? Like, no, this is the beginning. And when is this? They're like 8:00am I'm like, no one's going to be partying at 8:00am These guys have barely finished their coffee and they're like, they also got breakfast tacos. I'm like, great. But like, no one's gonna be excited for anything. Any exercise of exclamation and energy this early in the morning. But I didn't say that because I wanted the gig. So I, I got the gig. And then we all. We cut to the next morning. I wake up, my alarm is going off and my neighbor is nowhere to be seen. So I knock on his door, he's asleep. Oh God, we got. We got to get there Brighton. God damn early. I'm getting like, my, my phone is buzzing. Like I, I got a. Like a voicemail on my phone. Like, and it's just 5, 6, 7, 8. 5, 6, 7, 8. Where are my drummers? And I'm waking my neighbor up and he's. I'm like, he's like, who is it? I'm like, it's Elliot. We're late. I'm like, don't shoot. [00:08:17] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:08:18] Speaker B: So. So we get there. Oh boy. And then it goes off, you know, like a charm. Ish. We do what was asked of us. It was fine. We. We played drums to a Macklemore tune. The ceiling can't hold us. [00:08:34] Speaker A: I love that song. [00:08:36] Speaker B: Do you really? Well, we did a whole thing to it and it was a big to do. Oh my goodness gracious. There's like a trumpet player. I had to hand a trumpet player as trumpet. And then we just, you know, I helped him zip up his drums. Let me boogie that air. And then I think I took the longest Nap of my life. And that was. That was an adventure. What have you been up to? [00:09:02] Speaker A: Was this during South By. [00:09:03] Speaker B: It was, I think, adjacent at least, or maybe probably a little earlier than south by proper. But it was like. It was. It was a very corporate, like, let's all get together, you know, at this hotel and, like, talk about stuff. I'm sure there's footage of it somewhere. I. I'm been. I've been looking for it. [00:09:21] Speaker A: You said that ceiling can't hold a song. Now it's. Now it's stuck in my head because that's. Yeah, here it goes. Return to the back Gotta get. Gotta return to the back Gotta get what it is, what it is, what it is Looking for a better way to get up out of bed Instead of getting on the Internet and checking on who hit me MacLemore can. He can spit. He was at South By. I. I know he. He was performing around South By. [00:09:51] Speaker B: He's. He's got bars, as they say. Wow. [00:09:54] Speaker A: Yeah, he. [00:09:55] Speaker B: He. I have no. I have no. [00:09:58] Speaker A: A pretty impressive flow, I will say. [00:10:03] Speaker B: Just like a favorite rap artist. Like a rap artist. [00:10:07] Speaker A: Probably. Probably. Notorious B.I.G. see our episode on Notorious B.I.G's Ready to Die, season one, probably notorious. I mean, I grew up in the late. You know, I was a teenager in the late 90s, so obviously Eminem was inescapable. [00:10:26] Speaker B: Sure. [00:10:26] Speaker A: So, you know, I. He kind of introduced me to a lot of, like, the Death row stuff with Dr. Dre, and so. Yeah, so I would say Notorious B.I.G. and Marshall Mathers III. [00:10:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:39] Speaker A: I watched Planet of the Apes for the first time. 1968. Yes. Yesterday. [00:10:44] Speaker B: You watched Planet Apes, 1968 for the first time ever. [00:10:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I'd never seen it. [00:10:50] Speaker B: How'd that work out for you? [00:10:53] Speaker A: Oh, it was. It was. It was brilliant. I. I loved it. One. One of. I've talked about them before, but one of my favorite podcasts is We Hate Movies, and they're talking about it this month. And with. When it comes to movie podcasts, I like to know what's up. And so I. I realized, oh, I've never seen it. I've seen, you know, the James Franco one. I've seen the Mark Wahlberg one. [00:11:19] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:11:20] Speaker A: But never see. Oh, it was great. You're familiar. Have you heard about this? [00:11:25] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I've heard about it. Yeah. Oh, I'll say this, I don't think I've ever seen it all the way through. Like, I know the ending and like, how. Like, like, like that. That kind of like 60s 70s sci fi mind. I love that. You maniacs. You believe it? Yeah, I love that. I love Animal Farm. I love that. [00:11:50] Speaker A: You know who wrote it? The Planet of the Apes. [00:11:54] Speaker B: Who wrote Planet? [00:11:55] Speaker A: Rod Sterling of the Twilight Zone. [00:11:59] Speaker B: Oh. [00:12:01] Speaker A: So those. [00:12:02] Speaker B: I didn't know that. [00:12:03] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it makes sense. [00:12:05] Speaker B: Okay. Oh, that's beautiful, man. Oh, Rod Sterling. Rip. Awesome. [00:12:11] Speaker A: What a brilliant dude. Geez, dude. [00:12:13] Speaker B: Absolutely fucking lutely. Are you a big Twilight Zone guy? [00:12:17] Speaker A: The ones I. The ones I've seen, admittedly, I've seen. [00:12:20] Speaker B: Oh, you haven't seen shit. [00:12:22] Speaker A: I've seen the. The movie more than anything. Yeah, I know there's a whole, you know, sad story behind that, but. Yeah. Did not realize it as a kid and. But I watched it a ton of times growing up. [00:12:37] Speaker B: The. The movies from the 80s with. Yeah. Opens up with Danny and Albert Brooks. Thank you so much for that. Funny. [00:12:48] Speaker A: Nemo. Okay. [00:12:50] Speaker B: Nemo. He's got a great voice. [00:12:53] Speaker A: That's a scary opening. [00:12:54] Speaker B: My. I remember, like, my dad being like, this is the scariest opening to a movie ever. And he told me about it. I'm like, that's crazy. And I saw it. And then I remember years later, I was dating a girl, and. And she's like the. The scariest thing to me is, like, someone revealing they're not who they are. I'm like, we should watch the Twilight Zone. [00:13:17] Speaker A: Have I got the movie for you. [00:13:21] Speaker B: So I pop that on, and then it just comes to the line. Do you want to say something really scary? Pull over and. And then the reveal. And she about loses her. She about hit the ceiling and, like, was pissed at me for I don't know, until now. She's like, the relationship didn't work out. She's still mad at me. And I blamed in a. [00:13:48] Speaker A: That is terrifying because he makes like. He used to be on, like, tbs, like, on Saturday afternoons, like, all the time. Who was the Twilight Zone movie? Oh. [00:14:00] Speaker B: What? Oh, really? The movie was. I remember that movie gets dark as. [00:14:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:08] Speaker B: The final chapter with the. With the kid and, like, the no mouth thing. The Matrix copied that. The Matrix copied that. [00:14:15] Speaker A: Well, you know who. The. The sister. [00:14:19] Speaker B: Yeah. She talks too much, so I put her in that room. [00:14:23] Speaker A: Well, so the sister that the goosebumps already turns into, like, the Tasmanian Devil. [00:14:31] Speaker B: Oh, God. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's so upsetting. Oh, God. [00:14:35] Speaker A: You know. You know who that is? [00:14:37] Speaker B: Who's that? [00:14:38] Speaker A: That is Nancy Cartwright, AKA the voice of Bart Simpson. [00:14:43] Speaker B: The voice of Bart Simpson? [00:14:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:45] Speaker B: No. [00:14:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:47] Speaker B: Far out, man. Hey, man. [00:14:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:52] Speaker B: Don't turn me into a Tasmanian devil man. [00:14:55] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. [00:14:56] Speaker B: Eat my shorts. Oh. [00:14:58] Speaker A: I was gonna reference the Simpsons earlier, but it just left my mind. When we're. [00:15:02] Speaker B: It'll come. It'll come back to you. You've referenced the Simpsons four times an episode. Does everyone have their sipping memos Bigger cards out? Because we're about. We're getting into it. [00:15:15] Speaker A: Drink. Every time I mention the Simpsons, and you'll be wasting. [00:15:20] Speaker B: Absolutely. That's, like, four of the cards for the. [00:15:26] Speaker A: But, yeah, so I watched it, and it was beautiful. It's actually. It's kind of, like, weirdly funny at times. [00:15:35] Speaker B: Triads on the movie. [00:15:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Planet of the Apes. [00:15:40] Speaker B: Oh, Planet of the apes. Okay. 68. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:15:44] Speaker A: Like, there's. [00:15:45] Speaker B: Get your hands off me, you damn dirty ape. [00:15:48] Speaker A: Yeah. It can talk. It can talk. It can talk. Yeah, sorry. That's the Simpsons. When. What's his phase? Troy McClure. [00:16:01] Speaker B: Uh, Troy McClure. [00:16:04] Speaker A: He goes to. He goes to Broadway, and he's in Planet of the Apes, the musical. And he's like. Yeah. And then at the end, he was like, oh, my God, I was wrong. It was Earth all along. You finally made a monkey out of me. And he goes, I love you, Dr. Zayas. That's. That's all I can think about the entire movie. But, like, there's, like, one part where, like, they. They crash land, and one of the. One of the space. One of the. The astronauts puts a little, like, little American flag in the soil, and it cuts. [00:16:55] Speaker B: It. [00:16:55] Speaker A: It cuts to Heston, and he's like. He does this, like, bizarre, like, chuckle. It's one of my favorite gifts, actually. [00:17:07] Speaker B: One of your favorite gifts? [00:17:09] Speaker A: Yeah. So it was kind of. It was neat to see where. Where that gift came from. [00:17:14] Speaker B: Cool. [00:17:17] Speaker A: Yeah. You know, my life's really interesting. [00:17:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, yeah. What. What else has been up? [00:17:23] Speaker A: I also saw Knock at the Cabin, the new M. Night Shyamalan movie. [00:17:27] Speaker B: How'd that work out for you? [00:17:28] Speaker A: It was really intense. I won't say anything because it's still relatively new. There's. Okay, I will say this. There's certain things you expect when you go see a Shyamala movie. [00:17:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:40] Speaker A: I didn't get it, if, you know, if you catch my drift. [00:17:44] Speaker B: Okay. I don't, but. Okay. What do you mean? What? [00:17:48] Speaker A: Like. Like the twist? There's not really a twist. [00:17:51] Speaker B: You didn't like the twist or the. Or you didn't like the lack thereof. [00:17:55] Speaker A: Yeah. Which is weird. I guess it was. It was refreshing. [00:17:59] Speaker B: Is the twist that, like. Oh, they're actually right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's. So. That's. That's what I've gathered, too. [00:18:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Dave Bautista is awesome in it. [00:18:10] Speaker B: Batista. [00:18:11] Speaker A: Yeah, he's. Man, he's become such an amazing actor. I cannot wait for that. [00:18:17] Speaker B: Yeah, that. [00:18:17] Speaker A: Guardians. [00:18:19] Speaker B: Oh, Guardians three. Sure. Yeah. It's coming up real soon, right? It's the next. That's the next MCU one, right? [00:18:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:26] Speaker B: Boy, I wish I was more excited about the MCU these days. [00:18:32] Speaker A: I think it's one of those things where, like, I just went so hard. [00:18:36] Speaker B: Yeah. I went too hard. [00:18:37] Speaker A: I went too deep from 08 to 2018. 10 years. And afterwards, I was just like, oh, okay. [00:18:47] Speaker B: Like, well, nothing's gonna. Nothing's gonna top that. So let's look. I don't Maybe just close that. So maybe I might just close that up out in my heart and. And move on with my life. I. I'm Honestly, this is me saying that. This is me, Elliot, saying I might just close out the MCU and just move on with my life. [00:19:07] Speaker A: But they've done everything that. As a. As a kid, when I was reading comic books, they've done everything that I dreamed of seeing, you know? Yeah, they brought Thor to life. You know, they. They did the Civil War fight with Iron man and Cap. They. You know, they. They did Infinity War and. [00:19:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:27] Speaker A: And I'm, like, happy, and I'm like, okay. Like, it was great. I'm so happy to have. You know. [00:19:32] Speaker B: It was stupendous. [00:19:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I'm happy to have been a part of that fandom for so long, and. [00:19:37] Speaker B: Me, too. Yeah. [00:19:39] Speaker A: But now I'm just kind of, like, okay. [00:19:41] Speaker B: Like. [00:19:41] Speaker A: Well, like you said, like, I'm not, like, invested. I mean, I still. I'll still ride hard for Spider man, but that's just because, yeah, I'm a human. [00:19:51] Speaker B: Yeah, you're allowed to, man, that. New. The new into the Spider verse or across the Spider verse. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:20:01] Speaker B: Trailer looks dope. I'll see the hell out of that one. [00:20:05] Speaker A: Yeah, we got one in theaters together, if I'm not mistaken. [00:20:08] Speaker B: You and me, I believe so. [00:20:10] Speaker A: I think we went, like, on a Saturday morning. [00:20:12] Speaker B: Oh. Love it. I love it so much. I think it's. I think it's perfection. And that brings me to a story I have where I put on a bear suit to prank a CEO of a company here in Austin. [00:20:27] Speaker A: Were you doing, like, a, like, midsommar thing or. [00:20:33] Speaker B: So randomly? My neighbor and good friend Jesse texts me. He goes, hey, would you. Would you want to, like, help me prank our CEO? I'm like, what? What do you. What do you mean? He's like, I need you to boot her Jaguar and then convince her to. Convince her to put on a bear suit to get out of it. And he's like, it's like they come up with a prank. And I was like, I know a guy like that could do this. I'm like, I'm the guy that could convince someone to do this. I'm like, I don't. What? What are you talking about? And then he's talking to me. My neighbor walks out. Other neighbor walks out. And, you know, I'm like, hey, Joe, do you need another beer? He's like, yeah. Like, will you put on a bear costume to do it? He's like, yep. Like, oh, maybe I've got the touch. So day of. I'm like, I have no idea what's going on. I'm very nervous. He's like, I bought a boot. Which I guess you can do on Amazon. You can just buy a boot and boot a car. Turns out it is illegal. [00:21:49] Speaker A: Oh, shoot. [00:21:51] Speaker B: You can't just boot someone's car willy nilly and all that. But. So we go to the parking garage. The joke is that, oh, the CEO parks in, like, restricted lots or spots all the time. You know, my. My. My neighbor Jesse pulls out this boot and he goes, hey, here you go. Boot the car. So I do. So I boot this Jaguar convertible. Like, like, nice. It's a very nice car. And then I get a text. I. I'm like, there alone, like, booting this car. And then I get a text. She's on our way down. So I'm like, trying to prank this lady, and I'm like, oh, God. Oh, shit, shit, shit. So I just go. I just hold my. Hold the phone up to my ear. It's not. I'm not on the phone with anyone as she's storming down the stairs, and she's like, excuse me, excuse me. And I'm on the phone. I. I go, because I'm at work. Because I'm at work. That's why I can't talk right now. Because I'm at work. I'm working. We'll try and make it. We'll try and make it. So I devised a story. And she was like, excuse me, excuse me. I'm like, I'll call you back on my phone. Click. She's like, hi. Hi. This is my car. I'm like, are you. She's like, yeah. I'm like, well. Well, they sent me here to boot your car. And I don't know. And she's like, what the. What the hell? And then. And then all the co workers come out down into the parking garage. They're like, like, what's going on? And it's like, no one's got my back or anything. They're just like, who's this guy? And I'm like, like, I'm just. I was. I was told to come here and boot this car, and that's what I'm going to do. Okay. Okay. Hey, we're all having a bad day. We're all having a bad day. I was supposed to take shots of. You know what. What was your name again? She goes, do you know what cosplay is? She's like, yeah. I'm like, if you were to help me out real quick, I'll take this boot off your car, and I'll just wipe the whole slate clean. And meanwhile, I have these costumes in. In my friend's car. So I run and grab them. And meanwhile, like, her friends are like, who the is this guy? What the. Like. Like. Like, is this guy crazy? And I'm like. And I bring out these two giant bear heads. I'm like, this is Snowball. This is Pebble Pop. And I'm like, if you just put on these costumes and we take a few photos, I'll wet the whole thing clear. And I'll take the boot off your car, and I'll be fine. She's like, what? I just. I'm like. And the guys were like, I don't know. I don't. Go ahead. So I'm like, let's just try it, you know? You know, I just need these shots. That's all I need. That's all I need for my day. And you need to get that boot off your car, don't you? She's like, okay. So she puts this costume on with a big bear head. I do, too. And then we. I'm like, we're in the parking garage. So I have, like, there's better lighting out here. So we walk outside, and they're taking photos of us. And I'm like, so, you know, do this, do that. You know, like, 1, 2, 3, jump. And she jumps. And then. And I'm like, say, oh, pebble paw. You do this every time. And I'll go like this. And so she does it, and I'm like, okay. Say, oh, I just got pranked so hard by my co workers. And she's like, wait, what? And she takes the bare head up and. And. And then loses her. And Then I'm like. And then I'm like, get me out of this thing. That's a really weird day. [00:25:42] Speaker A: That's a really weird day for me, you know, where. Where I had, like, an abundance of, like, of stories last time. You're just, like, crushing it with, like, the wild stories. [00:25:55] Speaker B: It's Elliot's week, baby. I'm coming. Correct. [00:25:57] Speaker A: It's been a long time since, you know, like, I've done anything crazy. It's been a long time since I've had a really crazy night out. Elliot, have you had a night out lately? Have you had a Roy Scops night out lately? [00:26:18] Speaker B: I haven't in a while, my man, but I think. [00:26:26] Speaker A: Go. [00:26:28] Speaker B: Okay. [00:26:30] Speaker A: I was looking. Okay. Okay. I have another. I have another one. I have another one. [00:26:32] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:26:36] Speaker A: Okay. I actually think about. I think I might like this one a little better. Okay, that's awesome. [00:26:44] Speaker B: I love Pretty Wild. [00:26:46] Speaker A: I started watching that. The show on Disney plus where it's. It's U2 and David Letterman, and they're in. Apparently, like, the band, like, reimagined a lot of their songs during, like, lockdown, change the lyrics to some songs, and they're performing. It's like Bondo and the Edge and they're performing these songs, like, acoustic and with, like, an orchestra. And Letterman's there. And just seeing Letterman, it's just. It's so crazy. It took me back, like, to the 90s, you know, and it just reminded me of, you know, the. The late night wars between, you know, Letterman and Jay Leno, you know, and so often, you know, Letterman had the Edge, you know, and I would find myself laughing, and then Jay would do his jaywalking skit, and I would think to myself, oh, or Leno or. [00:27:43] Speaker B: All right, I like that one too. We're keeping them both in. Here we go. [00:28:22] Speaker A: So tell me about Melody am. [00:28:26] Speaker B: Melody AM is an album, the debut album of a band called Rooks Up. It's another duo, and I think by the end of this show's like, tenure. We're gonna figure it out. What the hell's up with these duos? Something's going on here. I think it's. I'm. I'm grinding the meat and the other guy is making a sausage. I think that's what it is. But Rigsop releases Melody Am and it's just kind of nice and it kind of hits the spot. It's a little. If fans of the show, it's a little bit between Groove Armada with a musicality, with a little air, like baseline, kind of stuff going on. It is not what I would call chill out, which is not a genre. And I hate this chill out. I get into a lot of cars like you know, let it. If it's. If it's a friend's car or a Lyft driver and they just have like a chill out station going on and it's just vapid empty music. But this is chill out with intention, I would say, if you wanted to call it that. But there's a lot of house, there's a lot of dance going on here and this is like some fun stuff. But it's also pretty weird. It's weird. It's a weird album. [00:29:55] Speaker A: It's a weird, very strange album. [00:29:57] Speaker B: It's very strange. There's a lot of these loops that we discovered in Fatboy Slim and Moby, but they use like key changes where like the key, like the loop like changes keys and all this. Which I think is pretty cool if you listen to it properly with a good stereo or some good headphones. You crank that up the bass and the drums so high fidelity hard. It's delicious. It's simple. It's simple enough. There's a, you know, there's a few hits off of here. It's. It's. It's digestible. It's easy to go. Jake, what did you think of Rop's melody? Am. [00:30:40] Speaker A: This was, this was. I'm glad you said Groovamata because I could not place it. Totally get air as well. The other one I got was on the song on Sparks. You get like some trip hop for sure. [00:30:58] Speaker B: I. I knew you were gonna say Portishead with Sparks. [00:31:02] Speaker A: It. It. Like I said, it's a very strange album because it takes turns that you don't really expect. And if I'm not mistaken, the songs aren't. I mean there's some, there's some longer songs. [00:31:12] Speaker B: They're like longer songs when they, when they need to be. [00:31:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:16] Speaker B: But they don't overstay their welcome. And like, like, yeah. And like Sparks is a down tempo tune which. With a. With a lovely female vocalist and it's a down tempo tune and that you're not going to be able to put one of those out without getting comparatives to part. [00:31:39] Speaker A: Those vocals are by the Norwegian singer Aneli Drecker. [00:31:45] Speaker B: How about that? [00:31:46] Speaker A: And she was wonderful and totally got some Beth Gibbons vibes. But I mean when you invent a, A whole like genre of music, like it's. Those comparisons are gonna. Are inevitable. But like where like Porter said, like we talked about how, like, they, you know, would like, intentionally, like, warp and damage, like their, like, samples. This sounds clean. This is just like. Yeah, super clean, for sure. Yes. [00:32:15] Speaker B: There's some, like, exquisite production going on here. They want it to be perfect. [00:32:21] Speaker A: The other standout track for me was. Was the opening track, so Easy. I was listening to it while having coffee this morning. It's a very good coffee album, I must say. [00:32:30] Speaker B: Okay, I like that. [00:32:33] Speaker A: But I was like, you know, this sounds like kind of like there's like a. Like a. A male vocal, like a, like almost like a pop vocal. And I just. Just looking at the Wikipedia page for it. Burt Bacharach. [00:32:48] Speaker B: Wow. [00:32:49] Speaker A: Has a writing credit. [00:32:51] Speaker B: Wow, wow, wow. [00:32:53] Speaker A: It's. Let me see. So according to Wikipedia, so easy. Contain instrumental and vocal samples from a 1960 cover of the Burt Bacharach Hal David song Blue on Blue. [00:33:06] Speaker B: How about that? [00:33:06] Speaker A: Burt Baccarat. He was just kind of like a man ahead of his time. He just passed away recently. [00:33:12] Speaker B: I love Burt Bacharach and I think my mom did too. Like, I think it's a cool, cool dude. [00:33:20] Speaker A: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Burt Bacharach. [00:33:24] Speaker B: That's right. These guys are musicians. They're finding stuff and they are moving it into where they want it to be. And it's like, like into synth pop. It's in the down tempo. It's into, like, cinematic, like, drum and bass stuff. It's very cool. And they're. But they're like, making it their own and are making it something very, very cool. [00:33:48] Speaker A: Absolutely. What was the state of electronica music in 2001? I know discovery had just dropped. What was going on in. In the scene at the time? [00:34:03] Speaker B: Well, we can't talk about the year 2001 without talking about September of 2001. And we can talk about this as much as we want or as little as we want. But it is important to note that this album came out on 9:13. [00:34:20] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:34:23] Speaker B: So, yeah, yeah, like. And I have plenty of questions about your. Your album tonight. About this. But, like, so we had the 911 tax. And then. And then two days later, this album just drops. These guys are from Norway. They're like, you know, in. In. They do stuff with, like, Swedish artists. So they're. They're there and like, this album drops and like, it's. It's just kind of nice. Like. Like, this is kind of like the Oompa Loompa kind of like, like house music. Like, okay, like, we're not gonna rush your tempo. We're all like, you know, we're back here, like, you know, 1, 118, 124. We're not going to. We're. No one's going to, like, get in your face about it. No one's going to elevate your heart rate. This. This album happened to drop two days after the. After the world train center attacks. The world was not primed for an album like this, and unless it was, which is an album of, like, down tempo and house and, like, in kind of silliness. There's a certain sense of humor about it. There's a certain, like, lightness to it. Like, there's a certain, like, we're just kind of having a good time. But you also. Also, you can dance to it. You can dance to it as hard as. Or as soft as you want to it. [00:35:54] Speaker A: There are definitely some. Some banger dance tunes on this one for sure. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:00] Speaker A: You sent you. You were. I. I feel so bad. I'm sorry I interrupted, but you sent me some live footage of the band playing with the iconic, the legendary Robin. Can you tell me about this relationship? Because when I googled Roy. Stop. Robin was, like, right there with them. So are they. Have they always been associated with each other? They just frequent collaborators? What's going on there? Elliot just, like, wistfully looked away from the camera like he was taking it all in. [00:36:42] Speaker B: Robin has a very special place in my heart. The Swedish pop singer. I believe she's Swedish and she is quite the vocalist. So ro up as they approach stardom in that realm, started collaborating with Robin and the Knife, if you're familiar. [00:37:01] Speaker A: We'll get to it. [00:37:02] Speaker B: We'll get to the Knife, man. That's exactly right. Yeah. Heartbeats. And they needed. They need vocalists for these tunes and all this. And Robin collaborated with them and made some stuff on their later albums that is just fucking transcendent from. From this album. This is. This is their homework. And then, like on later albums, they exponentially get better at their production and. And their guest stars because Robin is just astonishing and. And quite the lead singer. If you're. If you're gonna, like, throw out some Gwen Stefani towards me, I will throw you a Robin and we can have that discussion. But so Robin, pop idol, like, lends her vocals to these songs with them, and they're unbelievable. [00:37:56] Speaker A: Yeah, the one. The ones you sent me were Do It Again and the girl in the. Hold on. [00:38:01] Speaker B: Girl in the Robot. [00:38:02] Speaker A: Robot. Yeah, man. I think I like Do It Again a little bit more than the Girl in the Robot. Just. I like the chord progressions. But they were both just incredible performances. [00:38:16] Speaker B: I think it's about. I think it's about the core progressions and I. I think like what I was saying before with. But like. So like they're doing like the Moby thing there and the fat was same thing. They found a loop but then they key the key change it. The corp progress it. They. They move it. So we're making notes out of these samples and stuff like that. So they're moving. They're moving the notes around as need fit. So. So I think this is important to like the rop idea of it all. [00:38:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:43] Speaker B: And I. I think it's fantastic. Yeah. [00:38:47] Speaker A: You. You also sent me one of your p. Your own. Your personal mixes that included my cupcake. [00:38:54] Speaker B: I forgot. Yes. [00:38:57] Speaker A: And that song I was getting some like MIA vibes from. From Robin's vocals. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Not MIA Santa Gold. Did you ever listen to Santa Gold? [00:39:06] Speaker B: I. Not only that, I met Santa Gold. What? All right. [00:39:11] Speaker A: This in your NYC days. [00:39:14] Speaker B: Yeah. What am I supposed to do? Say no. Where else? She met me in Durham, North Carolina. I sent Jake a club of a DJ mix with my. Where I. I had remixed rigs Up's tricky Tricky. This track featured the vocalist from the Knife pop duo Brother and Sister sort of thing. Kind of like how like Billy. Yes, Billy. Kind of how Billy does it. I think it's kind of cool. So they. They've worked even. Even like because they're nearby each other or whatever. They've worked out with each other and they made some very cool stuff with worksop. These like super producers who have. They've become super, super producers now. Now these guys get put into like this album is like, wait, are these synth pop? Are they disco? Are they chill out ambient. [00:40:16] Speaker A: Like they put like ambient. [00:40:18] Speaker B: Ambient would be like white noise. Like let's listen to Rain fall upon leaves. Oh, I love that as a connoisseur. There's a lot of chill out quote chill out bullshit out there that doesn't. You can barely hear it. Like, don't you want to hear the music you're listening to? So. And if you want to hear some hear something that's chill and out, like put some works up on, put some guru mata, put some air on. Put something with some musicality behind it. These guys have intent. I think it's nice. I think it's lovely and I think it might be what people needed on 9 13. And it skyrocketed to the charts. [00:41:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I saw they're. They're nominated for like seven Grammys throughout their career. So I'm mean, these guys are, you know, powerhouses, obviously. [00:41:17] Speaker B: Yeah. And exponentially through their, through their albums, they, they expanded their sound and they got bigger and bigger and all this and moved away from like the simple, the, the, I don't know. Yeah. The simpleness of melody. Am. Well, okay. It's a keyboard, drum pad and a VOC quarter to like this orchestral awesomeness. And that's great. [00:41:43] Speaker A: I feel like with this one. No, I don't want to say no two songs sound the same, but there were, like I said earlier, but the album took turns that I, you know, was not expecting. There was just, there would be like some, some parts where there would be almost like no music at all. It'd just be like a pad, like a very light paddle. [00:42:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:07] Speaker A: The song would come in. It was, it was very, like I said earlier, it was very strange, but a very like fulfilling listen, if that makes sense. [00:42:17] Speaker B: All right. I like that. Any stand up tracks for you? [00:42:21] Speaker A: Talked about so easy. [00:42:24] Speaker B: Apple. [00:42:25] Speaker A: Yeah, Apple. Porlino. Porleno. [00:42:29] Speaker B: Polino. Yeah. [00:42:32] Speaker A: Beautiful. Remind me. I love the. [00:42:37] Speaker B: You like the vocoder stuff? [00:42:39] Speaker A: You like the VOC stuff? [00:42:40] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. I'm on to you, bro. I know what you're into, dude. [00:42:46] Speaker A: Well, as we, as we talked about like in episode two, the whole ASMR thing, maybe, maybe that's, that, that's just what I keep on coming back to, you know, this one, I, I, I think you may have mentioned it before, but you said you didn't have the vinyl. This is one that they ever do a reissue. I would definitely pick this one up just to have a nice warm sounding album. Have a glass of wine or something or like I said earlier, a cup of coffee. It's a total winner and well, I like that. [00:43:22] Speaker B: So wait, would you rather. Is this a morning album or a late evening album? [00:43:28] Speaker A: I think it could be either or. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I think this album pairs really well. Talking about wine. I think this album. [00:43:35] Speaker B: Oh my God, I love this. This should be the show, by the way. [00:43:42] Speaker A: We're just getting, we're just getting our legs. [00:43:45] Speaker B: We're rebranding immediately. [00:43:48] Speaker A: We're rebranding as a foodie podcast, dude. [00:43:51] Speaker B: But like, I don't know, I don't know. Picking a, picking a beer or wine to, to accompany an album. That's, that's kind of a fun little thing. It can be a segment at least. [00:44:02] Speaker A: I would pair, I would pair this album with a nice cab, nice, you know, red wine, maybe A nice blend. [00:44:08] Speaker B: It's decidedly wine, though, right? [00:44:10] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I agree, talking about air, because I was gonna say it pairs really well with air. Air is a copy album, for sure. [00:44:21] Speaker B: Oh. [00:44:22] Speaker A: I feel like the majority has been, like, English, French with Daft Punk. [00:44:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:31] Speaker A: Australian. This is our first Norway group. [00:44:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Always duos gotta bounce ideas off each other, I think. So. I think they were trying to make a jazzy record and they accidentally made a dance record. It seems to be like, the excellent made dance record. And the dance is fantastic. And I hope you liked it. [00:44:52] Speaker A: Oh, it was wonderful. I'm definitely returning to this one. Yes. So definitely. Check out brick stops melody am from 2001. You will not regret it. All right, now, another album that came out two months before Melody Am is what I'm bringing to the table. This episode. What? Elliot, are you ready to talk about Jimmy Eat World? [00:45:21] Speaker B: I don't know if I am, but I'm gonna try my hardest. [00:45:24] Speaker A: Let's. Let's roll. Let's do it. [00:45:26] Speaker B: Here we go. [00:45:40] Speaker A: Hey, don't write yourself off yet it's. [00:45:45] Speaker B: Only in your head you feel left out or look down on. [00:45:51] Speaker A: Try your best Try everything you can. [00:45:57] Speaker B: Don'T you worry what they tell themselves. [00:46:00] Speaker A: You'Re away. [00:46:03] Speaker B: It just takes some time. [00:46:15] Speaker A: All right, so my album this week is 2001's Jimmy Bleed American, aka Jimmy World, aka Bleed American. And we'll talk about that in a bit. [00:46:27] Speaker B: Yes, yes, yes, yes. [00:46:29] Speaker A: This album is by the band Jimmy Eat World, which is probably my second favorite band of all time behind link 182. I've. I've lived this album. I've breathed this album. I have stories about this album. I'm so excited to talk about this album with my best bud, Elliot. Tell me what you thought about Bleed American. [00:46:56] Speaker B: I walked into this one being like, oh, yeah, I remember that one. I remember the middle or whatever. Like, like, the same way I remember, like, oh, yeah, you know, the Killers or, like, Panic of Esco or whatever. Like, you know what we say on the show. Cultural osmosis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, I sat down and listened to it properly. Like, I was like, oh, my God, like, listening to this. I'm like, I've heard this song so many times before and, like, it hit me so deep today. Like, I just needed to hear it. And it rocked my goddamn world, man. So, like, yeah, like, so these guys were, like, in my peripheral, I guess, you know, and, you know, here and there. And, like, I know friends like them and they would pop on at, like, clubs or bars or whatever. Like, people dance like, yeah. Like, oh, this song's pretty good in the middle. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But they're like, I listened. I listened to it today and, like, it just, like, broke me. [00:48:05] Speaker A: It's a powerful yet simple song. The first time I saw the band was 2000, 2007. I just graduated high school. It was here in. It was in Austin at the Old Emos. And Jim Atkins, the singer and, you know, songwriter for Jimmy World, talked about the song. And if I remember correctly, they received a letter from, like, a. A fan who said that she was having a rough time, that she was being bullied, and that inspired them to write the Middle. And so him saying, hey, don't watch yourself off yet. It's only. It's only in your head. You feel left out, looked down on. But he's talking to. Talking to this girl. [00:48:50] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. It's. [00:48:52] Speaker A: It's amazing. I love it. I love it. [00:48:54] Speaker B: I was listening to it with a friend last night, like. And I was like. Like, what do you think of this band? And they're like, oh, my God. I love this band. I love this song. I can sing every word. I'm like, you can't. It gets better. [00:49:07] Speaker A: Hang in there. [00:49:08] Speaker B: It's gonna be all right. [00:49:10] Speaker A: It's. It's. It's such a. It's such a profound metaphor. It's saying, hey, you're. You're in the middle is. You're only in the middle of the ride. Everything. Everything will be just fine. You know, it's just like. [00:49:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:49:23] Speaker A: The ride is this moment in life, you know, and. Oh, I. It's. You know, And. And the fact that, you know, this song, it. This song was inescapable, but it's a song I don't. You don't really want to escape because there's such a good message behind it. And it's. It's such a. It's. It's a beautiful song. [00:49:43] Speaker B: I'm. [00:49:44] Speaker A: I'm happy that you've enjoyed it so much. [00:49:46] Speaker B: I think it's fantastic. And I. I really enjoyed it. Oh, boy. To get into my notes, like, I just forgot. Youth with an excellent. [00:49:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:55] Speaker B: Wow. They In. They're so invigorated. Like, tell me about. Is it Jimmy plus company? Like, are there. So I get these guys confused with, like, other bands at the time, like, Panic at the Disco, and these are the guys like, so tell me, tell me, tell me what's. What's up? [00:50:15] Speaker A: So. And I. I didn't look this up. But from. If I'm not mistaken, taken the. The band name Jimmy Eat World come from a picture that the singer Jim Adkins brother drew and at the bottom he wrote Jimmy Eat World. So that's where the band name comes from. But it's not. It's not like they're. They're definitely like a foursome. Like, it's not like a. Like a front man, like a brain Brandon, like a. It's not like a Brandon Flowers and the rest of the guys and the Killers, you know, like, it's okay. They're definitely like. [00:50:54] Speaker B: Like a democracy. [00:50:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So Jimmy Will from Mesa, Arizona. You've got the aforementioned Atkins. Tom Linton plays guitar and also sings Faces, Rick Burch and drummer Zach Lind. So it's kind of a wild story. So Jimmy World were part of this like, emo scene. If you listen to the two previous albums, which are Static Prevails and Clarity, those albums are like emo with a capital E. Like these guys were, you know, on the forefront of this like, new, you know, emo movement with like, bands like Mineral from Austin, Get Up Kids. [00:51:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I was gonna ask about like this like sensitive boy rock of it all. [00:51:48] Speaker A: Yeah. So they're definitely an emo band. And. And in fact, Clarity, the album that came out just before this, is widely considered an emo masterpiece. One of the greatest albums of. Of that genre. It incorporated a lot of electronic elements and just like there's songs in there that go like 16 minutes long, you know? [00:52:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, boy. [00:52:16] Speaker A: Loops and stuff. More akin to like an electronica song. [00:52:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:22] Speaker A: Clarity bombed. But. And so they, if I'm not mistaken, they were dropped by Captain Multiple Records and recorded Bleed American on their own dollar. During recording, the band, they were working like odd jobs because, you know, they're. They were dropped in their old album, you know, didn't. Wasn't successful so much so that the. Their producer, Mark Trombino, he. He produced the album, recorded the album for free because the band just didn't have the money. And he said, you know, I. It was cool because I knew it was going to be successful. [00:53:03] Speaker B: Wow. [00:53:04] Speaker A: Yeah. And so this album drops July 2001. [00:53:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:53:11] Speaker A: Two months before, you know, September 11th. [00:53:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:53:15] Speaker A: The band changes the album name from Bleed American. [00:53:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:53:19] Speaker A: To Jimmy World. [00:53:21] Speaker B: Self titled. [00:53:22] Speaker A: Self titled. Yeah. [00:53:24] Speaker B: All right. [00:53:25] Speaker A: But then they eventually changed it back to Bleed America. [00:53:29] Speaker B: Do you know when they did that? [00:53:31] Speaker A: I'm not. According to Wikipedia, it's eight years later. So 2009, that was. [00:53:36] Speaker B: It was a rough Time. [00:53:37] Speaker A: Yeah. You know, like, this is one of my favorites of all time. And did. Did you have any. There's just. There's so many. I love the guitar. The guitar sounds on this one. I love the melody. I don't think there's a weak melody on this album. [00:53:55] Speaker B: Oh, my God. On Get It Faster, there's like a Deep Purple kind of call and response guitar, like, kind of thing going on. [00:54:07] Speaker A: I was listening to it Panned where it goes like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:54:11] Speaker B: Stereo, dude. Like, wait, wait, what the fuck? So then I'm like, wait, what genre is this band? So I was thinking about, like, like my. My indie guys, because I got. I was into the indie. Indie thing and like the odds and all this, right? With like your, you know, Arcade Fires, Death caps. Yeah. I was like, wait, so when did Death Cab come out? Because this guy's, like, sensitive and vocalizing and all this, but it's like some wild middle between. In the middle, in the middle. But between, like Death Cab and Blink, we're, like, talking about my feelings, but we're also having a good time. It seems like a really interesting idea and it makes for a really good album. [00:54:54] Speaker A: Absolutely godly. Just. Just going through the song of the song. This one is just like banger after banger. [00:55:02] Speaker B: It's insane. It's insane. [00:55:04] Speaker A: Praise chorus where he, like, in the. [00:55:07] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:55:08] Speaker A: In the bridge, he. He talks about Crimson and clover and then he talks about. He. He references Motley Crue. He references the Promise Ring, which is another emo, Midwestern emo band that they. They toured with. [00:55:25] Speaker B: Who. Who is the female vocalist that's harmonizing my. [00:55:29] Speaker A: On. [00:55:30] Speaker B: On Authority song. On my Sundown on all those, like, later tracks. Do you know? [00:55:36] Speaker A: Let me. Let me see. That's a good question. So that is Rachel Hayden. [00:55:42] Speaker B: Shout out Rachel. [00:55:44] Speaker A: Yeah, she. Man, she brings so much to this album. Other. Other. Other standouts. [00:55:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:51] Speaker A: For me or you know, if you don't, don't. Oh. [00:55:57] Speaker B: I try the song titles. That one. Like, that one hit me. I'm like, if they don't, don't. Like. What kind of song title is that for a song? And I heard. Listen to. I'm like, oh, my God. [00:56:10] Speaker A: What the. If you don't, don't know. Why'd you say so? You know, like, it's. [00:56:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Not hitting B, man. Like, the. The singles off this album are insane. And they're like. They're awesome. Like, what I refer to as cool party jams. But then. But then if you want to delve deeper, like, there's some next level stuff in here. It's. It's really beautiful, man. [00:56:40] Speaker A: The Sweetness is another standout. I love that song. [00:56:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. [00:56:47] Speaker A: Just. Man. And then the Closer. My. My Sundown. [00:56:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, just. [00:56:55] Speaker A: Jimmy. World's kind of, like, known for their closing songs. [00:56:59] Speaker B: Is that right? [00:57:00] Speaker A: Yeah, Having, like, really epic, slowed closing songs. [00:57:04] Speaker B: I wanted to ask you about the epic closer, man. [00:57:07] Speaker A: Uh, the next album, Futures, is a song called 23, which is a huge song for me in my life. And it's just. They kind of just have this thing where they make these epic closers and. Yeah, I just. I love this band so much. I've seen them. [00:57:27] Speaker B: Let's see. [00:57:29] Speaker A: I've seen them, and I've been fortunate enough to see them a number of times. Let's see. I've seen them seven times. [00:57:38] Speaker B: Wow. [00:57:40] Speaker A: I've been able to actually meet the band. [00:57:43] Speaker B: Yeah. You get your album signed? [00:57:45] Speaker A: Yeah, I got my album signed. I actually have a copy of Static Prevails that I found at a record store in Little Rock, Arkansas. And they played ACL in 2013, and I took it to have them sign it, and they were just like, whoa, where did you find this? And I was like, little Ross. And they're like, whoa, we haven't seen one of these in years. And so it was kind of. It kind of was kind of neat to see the band geek out. [00:58:13] Speaker B: How old were they when they put that album together? [00:58:16] Speaker A: I would say late 20s. Mid to late 20s are out. Dude. I know. I adore this record. I return to it quite often. Yeah, the band's actually coming. They're tortured touring. They'll be here in August, and I think I'm gonna go. [00:58:34] Speaker B: Are we gonna go? [00:58:36] Speaker A: I think we should. They put on a hell of a show. We'll talk about that off mic. [00:58:44] Speaker B: One thing, one thing. I caught one of the things I don't like that much. [00:58:49] Speaker A: Oh, fade out. [00:58:52] Speaker B: How did you know I was gonna say that? [00:58:55] Speaker A: You famously hate fade out. [00:58:57] Speaker B: Can I tell you? What I wrote down was that fade out. [00:59:02] Speaker A: But it works, which. [00:59:05] Speaker B: This is my. This is my favorite fade out of the entire history of the show. I think it's because it ends side A and it fades out very, like, decidedly slowly. It's not like, really. And kind of almost enjoyed that. I'm like, oh. They're like, oh, flip the record over to tell the rest of the story. I'm like, oh, shit. I got excited about the fade out. Excited about a fade out. [00:59:32] Speaker A: I never thought I'd see the Day. [00:59:35] Speaker B: How about that? It happened. It only took Jimmy to do it. So where were you in like the, like the indie rock scene? Like this time in 01, like with, you know, My Morning Jacket, Arcade Fire, you know, the Death Cab of it all. Were you into that stuff? Are you more in the rock side of things? [01:00:01] Speaker A: Because I think not at all at this time. 01, I was like knee deep in Blink 182. Yeah, I was like a pop punk kid. Like when a two new found glory. Some 41 simple plan, those guys. [01:00:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:00:16] Speaker A: And actually Jimmy World toured with Blink and Green Day on the Pop disaster tour in 2001 on this record, which is just insane to me. [01:00:26] Speaker B: Wow. [01:00:28] Speaker A: So I. So I always knew about the middle. My good friend gave me a Best Buy gift card for my 18th birthday and I went, went to the best buy on 410 and Blanco in San Antonio and saw the CD and I bought it and I listened to it the rest of my senior year, like pretty much non stop. And now it's framed and hanging on the wall. [01:00:54] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [01:00:55] Speaker A: Yeah, this was a big one for me. [01:00:57] Speaker B: This was. [01:00:57] Speaker A: This is a big album and a big band. Arguments could be made about which is the greatest. I mean, oftentimes it's either Clarity, Bleed American or Futures, I would say. [01:01:10] Speaker B: So their, their follow up albums to this are like even. Even in the conversation of being better. [01:01:17] Speaker A: Oh yeah. I mean, Futures, really. Futures is. I would say Futures is a masterpiece. [01:01:23] Speaker B: Oh my God. [01:01:25] Speaker A: Chase this Light, which is right here hanging on the old wall. [01:01:32] Speaker B: Listeners. Jake has all of these albums for him. [01:01:35] Speaker A: I know. And, but I can't help it. They're like I said, they're like my second, probably my second favorite band for sure. I adore these guys and they're all really nice people and make some really awesome rock music. So. But I'm really, I'm really happy you enjoyed this one. [01:01:55] Speaker B: Well, thanks for listening to Wakes up and Jimmy Eat World. I had a great time listening to both these albums. Oh my goodness. [01:02:06] Speaker A: Everything will be all right. [01:02:09] Speaker B: All right. All right. [01:02:12] Speaker A: Thank you. Well, thank you for introducing me to, to Reik Stop. Like I said, there. [01:02:15] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [01:02:16] Speaker A: This Norwegian electronica duo that without the Mimos, I don't know if I would have ever really given them as solid a listen as I did this. [01:02:30] Speaker B: There's. There's no way, you know. [01:02:34] Speaker A: So I'm grateful that I now have this band to revisit and, and, and listen to you more. So thank you. [01:02:40] Speaker B: Oh, rock and roll, man. Yeah. [01:02:41] Speaker A: Salud. [01:02:43] Speaker B: Salud. [01:02:46] Speaker A: Okay, so let's go back to the 90s. [01:02:49] Speaker B: Yeah. What's happened? [01:02:58] Speaker A: I just saw an episode of Hard Copy, man. Did you see that? Oh, we're. [01:03:01] Speaker B: Oh my God. We're back in the 90s. I hope nothing terrible happened in 2001. [01:03:06] Speaker A: Oh, God. [01:03:07] Speaker B: What? [01:03:08] Speaker A: Well, okay. I love how the only thing I could make it feel like I was in the 90s was mention hard Copy. Go watch hey dude. Okay. [01:03:21] Speaker B: I love hey dude. All right. [01:03:24] Speaker A: My album for next time is another one of my all time fav. It's a. It's a rock and roll album. It's a punk album, it's a rockabilly album. [01:03:33] Speaker B: Okay. [01:03:34] Speaker A: It's a country album all in one. [01:03:36] Speaker B: Okay. [01:03:37] Speaker A: And I'm excited for you to. To see what I mean. [01:03:41] Speaker B: Oh, boy. [01:03:43] Speaker A: So I think I'm just all about Orange county this season on Sipping Mimos. [01:03:50] Speaker B: You always are, dude. [01:03:52] Speaker A: So I know most of my albums are from like, California, so this album means a whole lot to me. The band means the whole lot to me. It's the third album from a little band called Social Distortion. It is their self titled album from 1990. [01:04:14] Speaker B: 1990. Social distortion, Elliot.
