So now part two of our Teddy bears soft machine review. We do kind of get to it in this one. Enjoy and love you. Okay, bye. Come on, babies. [00:00:19] Speaker B: Hey. [00:00:40] Speaker C: And he just gave me stack. You should probably listen to this. And I was obsessed immediately. [00:00:49] Speaker B: I, I always, and I, and I always let Elliot know. Like, I. These things I say, I mean them in all, like, sincerity. I, I think I always enjoy hearing about, you know, yours and your family's [00:01:03] Speaker C: like, musical journey while your burrito gently heats Walmart. [00:01:07] Speaker B: Oh, black beans sitting. Black beans sitting on a bed of rice. [00:01:15] Speaker C: Yes, black, Black beans. [00:01:18] Speaker A: Black beans on rice. I still laugh about that, like every two weeks. [00:01:22] Speaker B: I can't, I'll never come back. [00:01:24] Speaker C: That was the first funnyish, like, why. Okay, we're all around the table seeing Beatles music with food lyrics for God knows what reason. [00:01:36] Speaker A: How did that come up? [00:01:37] Speaker C: And it was so good. Like, everyone's contributions. [00:01:42] Speaker A: Hey, food. [00:01:44] Speaker C: Hey, food. [00:01:46] Speaker B: There's that one. There was crepe days this week. [00:01:50] Speaker C: Oh my God, you remember so much of it. [00:01:53] Speaker A: But like, black beans sitting on a bed of rice. [00:01:59] Speaker B: That's like the, I'll never, I'll never top that. [00:02:01] Speaker A: Like, that's like, you peaked. Have you peed? Yeah, yeah. [00:02:08] Speaker C: She needs to know. [00:02:12] Speaker B: But no, like, I always. [00:02:13] Speaker C: You thought you loved the Beatles before. Listen to these remixes. [00:02:17] Speaker A: Wait, wait, these lyrics are all issues. Your kid hears them later. Like, well, no, it's black beans sitting on a bed of rice, not the [00:02:24] Speaker B: girl getting in, getting in, like, arguments. No, it's black beans, not Blackbird. [00:02:29] Speaker C: Yeah, gets beat up at school. [00:02:32] Speaker A: These from Liverpool, stole from my dad. [00:02:37] Speaker B: But no, no, Lauren, I, I, I always, you know, I, you know, every kind of like Elliot's tales of New York City. I, you know, I, I, I don't, you know, I, I'm very interested. But hearing, you know, how, you know, Paul and Erica and Elliot. Elliot introduce you. But I always think about y' all driving and singing my Stepping Stone by the Monkeys in, in, like, you're like, stepping stone. Like, every time I hear that, I think about you and Erica and like, how y' all listen to that song like in Florida with your. [00:03:16] Speaker C: Oh, I can't, I don't remember talking about that. But yeah, so. Well, that's also how I got into disco, was we were driving to my great grandfather's funeral. [00:03:31] Speaker B: That's what. [00:03:31] Speaker C: Yeah, to Florida. Because, Elliot, we were in Florida Already when he died. [00:03:36] Speaker A: Yes, I remember. [00:03:37] Speaker C: And they were like. And they didn't tell us go back to Michigan. They didn't tell us their parents, all of them. [00:03:42] Speaker A: Instead, let's let them get home and [00:03:45] Speaker C: then they can drive all the way back. [00:03:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:48] Speaker C: And then my mom, to stay awake, bought like all these disco tapes at a gas station. Back when you could buy cassettes at gas stations. [00:03:58] Speaker A: Was it a cassette? Yeah, like a weird five disc thing. Oh, yeah, Yeah. [00:04:03] Speaker C: I wish I had my old cassettes. I want to listen to some fucking Mariah Carey and like, Amy Grant. [00:04:10] Speaker A: Amy Grant. [00:04:13] Speaker C: Oh, my God. The last time we saw Grandma, she. She said Twyla Paris instead of Taylor Swift. And I laughed so hard. [00:04:22] Speaker A: We were. We were in Oregon and my. Our grandmother asked me, what's going on with. Is it Twyla Paris, who is like a Twilight? Paris is like a Christian singer from, like the early 1990s. [00:04:35] Speaker B: Oh. I was gonna say that's gonna be my new stage name. Like, Twila Paris. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Great name. Probably not real, but, like, so funny. [00:04:44] Speaker C: Call me. I was like, what happened to Twila Paris? [00:04:46] Speaker A: Like, like, it's Taylor Swift. [00:04:48] Speaker C: I mean, there's some, like, good. And like, then Elliot realized she's talking about Taylor Swift. [00:04:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:55] Speaker C: Up laughing like, what? [00:04:58] Speaker A: I was like, do you mean Taylor Swift? [00:05:00] Speaker C: Yeah, like. Oh, yeah, like the other. The one other female musician with the name that starts with. [00:05:07] Speaker A: And it was because she heard about Taylor Swift from Fox News for the first time. That's what it was. [00:05:13] Speaker C: From what? [00:05:14] Speaker A: Fox News. And that's why Paul was mad and, like, because Taylor Swift officially came out, like, anti Trump. [00:05:23] Speaker C: Oh, is that literally why she brought her up? [00:05:25] Speaker A: That's absolutely why she brought her up. [00:05:28] Speaker C: Well, we shouldn't talk about this anymore because we will get arrested. [00:05:32] Speaker A: No one listens to this, including ice. I think we're okay. [00:05:35] Speaker C: The First Amendment is now gone. [00:05:39] Speaker A: Yeah. And welcome back to Politics Corner with Lauren. So disco, but disco. [00:05:50] Speaker C: Bunch of disco tapes to stay awake to the funeral. [00:05:56] Speaker A: This is. This is what our family does, is we take grief for me, turn it into music. [00:06:04] Speaker C: Okay. But at the same time, it kind of correlated exactly with my obsession with John Travolta. So it, like, worked for me, you know, very into John Travolta as a young child. [00:06:15] Speaker A: I remember your Travolta phase. [00:06:18] Speaker C: And I think, you know, Erica and I used to watch Greece, like, after school every day. [00:06:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Non stop. [00:06:24] Speaker C: But then, you know, Jake is losing all other. Why are you always silent, laughing? Are you muted? Or are you just like a That's Jake. [00:06:37] Speaker A: Jake has a quiet laugh, unless he sees something dirty, and then he goes, ha. [00:06:42] Speaker C: Because he's, like, uncomfortable enough to, like, make a sound. [00:06:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:45] Speaker C: It's kind of funny because my grandpa, like, he'll laugh silent, but if it's really funny, like, tears will, like, go down his face. I feel like you're gonna be that grandpa Jake. You're gonna be the silent, crying grandpa. I mean, like, but in a good way. [00:07:03] Speaker A: When Jake's kid marries my kid and we're both grandpas. [00:07:07] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [00:07:09] Speaker A: Is that what's happening on rocking chairs and then sipping Mimos? Oh, my goodness gracious. Is there. [00:07:18] Speaker C: Can you imagine anything better from every band? [00:07:23] Speaker B: Let's talk about lit a little bit. [00:07:25] Speaker A: Decades. Yeah. Do you remember lit Static acts? [00:07:32] Speaker B: Okay, [00:07:35] Speaker A: so, like, I think we're gonna have to listen to new music that. [00:07:45] Speaker B: So the. Our album this week, we kind of. We kind of talked about. [00:07:52] Speaker C: Okay. [00:07:53] Speaker A: I knew this was gonna happen. I know. We just keep going. It's fine. It's totally fine. Because, honestly, I don't have a lot to say about Teddy Bear's soft machine. [00:08:01] Speaker C: I do. Well, not a lot. [00:08:03] Speaker A: Oh, well, okay. [00:08:04] Speaker C: I mean, I was just gonna give you my general impression since I'd never listened to it, and. [00:08:09] Speaker A: General impression, well. [00:08:12] Speaker C: Well, Jake had a whole intro thing, so. [00:08:13] Speaker B: What is that a general thing? What is that from general impression? Is that at the office? [00:08:19] Speaker A: How I met your mother. [00:08:20] Speaker B: I met your mother. Dang it. [00:08:22] Speaker C: What are you talking about, general thing? [00:08:23] Speaker A: Don't worry about it. [00:08:26] Speaker B: It's a. [00:08:26] Speaker A: It's a. [00:08:28] Speaker B: On the how I met your mother. Whenever Ted and Robin say something, whenever someone says general or major, they. They salute. Like they're in the army. [00:08:41] Speaker A: They, like, wrote an inside joke into the characters on a sitcom where, like. Which is pretty hard to do. [00:08:47] Speaker C: Sitcom references will be lost on me, especially if I've had three glasses of wine. [00:08:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:54] Speaker B: All right. Okay. [00:08:56] Speaker C: Sorry. [00:08:57] Speaker A: You're fine. We're doing great. This is the best. [00:08:59] Speaker B: This is the best. This is awesome. Just catching up. It's just fantastic. [00:09:04] Speaker A: We're great. [00:09:07] Speaker B: So, yeah. So, you know, we. We've touched on. And tipping me knows we've touched on the state of Michigan quite a lot. You know, Elliot hails from Michigan, Spent a lot of time there. I know. [00:09:23] Speaker C: State of. The state of it now, or, like, the state itself? [00:09:26] Speaker B: Just the state. It's the state. [00:09:28] Speaker A: Okay. I'm kidding. I'm teasing you. [00:09:34] Speaker C: Like, hey, the state of Michigan. Like, the future of Michigan. Okay. [00:09:40] Speaker B: What? [00:09:40] Speaker C: I don't know. Geez. [00:09:43] Speaker A: Usually on the show. We let each other finish sentences. [00:09:46] Speaker B: It is. It is all good. Is. It is all good. Your guest in the sipping Mimos house. Yeah. So we, we've talked. Well, we'll, we'll. I'll. I'll connect it. So, so we've, we've. We've talked about the state of Michigan quite a lot. You know, Elliot, you know, lived there quite a lot in Lauren as well. [00:10:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:14] Speaker C: And someone else watched the Virgin Suicides. [00:10:17] Speaker B: Someone else is actually from Michigan who goes by the name of James Newell Osterberg Jr. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you probably know, you probably know him as Iggy Pop. [00:10:38] Speaker A: Yeah, [00:10:40] Speaker B: I, I've made this argument before. Michigan, the Ann Arbor area, the true birthplace of punk rock. We can, we can get into that if we want, but this is where Iggy Pop and the Stooges started. Stooges started Iggy Pop, the godfather of punk. And you're probably wondering why am I talking about Iggy Pop? Because he sang on my personal favorite song of, of. Of this episode of the album. For the episode, he sang on a song called Punk Rocker by the band that Elliot picked for this episode. So with that, you already talk about Teddy bears. [00:11:29] Speaker A: Let's talk about Teddy Bears. [00:11:31] Speaker C: A. A band, right. [00:11:33] Speaker B: Teddy Bears is the band which I didn't realize that was them. [00:11:37] Speaker A: No. [00:11:38] Speaker B: So this is an interesting one. This is interesting. Elliot. [00:11:41] Speaker A: Yes. [00:11:42] Speaker B: Tell us how. How did you, how did you find Teddy bears? [00:11:49] Speaker A: I found Teddy bears when it came across my plate in 05.06. When these song, these tracks started hitting in 06. I guess I was in New York right away. [00:12:02] Speaker C: How have I not heard. Heard you play them. [00:12:06] Speaker A: You've. I'm almost certain you have put some of these tracks on mixtapes for you, mix these for you. Yours to keep. Yours to keep was like a mainstay on mix cds I would make for friends and family all the time. That's one of their. The tracks of this album. There's a lot of collabs here, including of course Iggy Pop and all that. Yours to keep is Nene Cherry. How do you say it? All right. And yes, some of these tracks appeared on previous albums, but they were a little remixed and re. Refixed in this one because they, they kind of like had a US debut with Soft Machine. They. They crossed the pond and. And launched here. They had been going on since 91, which is pretty wild if you think about it. And they were just doing like noise core, like just like just making nonsense and eventually decided to like find a, you know, a Different sound track. Essentially, track one on the album. This is the track zero intro. Track one is a different sound. And they, like, brought in collaborations, and they gave up doing this hardcore grand core thing because they were listening to a lot of Public Enemy, and they were like, well, we want to make something kind of like that. But then they realized, oh, they're not using guitars. How do we make that sound? We don't know anything about these machines. And they looked for producers. They wanted, like, the guy that did, like. I think they wanted the guy that did abba, but they couldn't get them, so they just did it themselves. [00:13:41] Speaker C: So they got Staba. [00:13:44] Speaker A: Well, because there's. Well, they're Swedish, aren't they? So of course they wanted. [00:13:48] Speaker C: Trying to hire Stabba the band. [00:13:51] Speaker A: What? [00:13:52] Speaker C: I mean, you could. [00:13:53] Speaker B: Go ahead. [00:13:53] Speaker A: What? [00:13:55] Speaker C: Oh, degree Members. [00:13:57] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:13:58] Speaker A: Yes. Wait, what's Staba? I forget, [00:14:02] Speaker C: is a heavy metal ABBA cover fan. [00:14:05] Speaker A: Yes. [00:14:06] Speaker C: That I tried to hire for Joyce's party. [00:14:09] Speaker B: Yes. [00:14:11] Speaker C: But instead you guys played. [00:14:15] Speaker A: Oh, for Mom's birthday. [00:14:18] Speaker C: Yeah. Like her disco birthday. [00:14:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was how instead we played. [00:14:25] Speaker C: I'm just kidding. Yeah, I, like, emailed them, and they, like, we're still expensive even though no one knows who we are. [00:14:32] Speaker A: Sure. [00:14:33] Speaker B: I remember you telling me about that band name. And then just, like, having, like, my mind shattered because that. I thought it was just brilliant. Like, oh, my God, it's amazing. [00:14:44] Speaker A: One of. One of my favorite photos of, like, the squad in those days is from, like, the Blind B band meeting when we all met up. That Erica and hung out. There's like, that was cool. And then. No, the. The one we met, like, days before to, like, what are we gonna do? Okay, we're gonna do this. And then, of course, we had, like, outdoor photos taken on the night of. But the. But when we met up before, there's [00:15:09] Speaker C: a cool photo at that rooftop bar. [00:15:10] Speaker A: At the rooftop bar, there's a cool photo of us. I just like that one. I think it was cool. [00:15:15] Speaker B: That's cool. [00:15:16] Speaker C: Marshall was there, right? [00:15:18] Speaker A: Marshall. [00:15:19] Speaker C: Gonna circle back to. To seeing him on a random street and how weird that is. [00:15:24] Speaker B: Once again, if you see a Marshall, if you see Marshall in the wild, [00:15:28] Speaker A: hashtag sipping, hashtag sipping Marshalls, tag us in it and we'll tell you if that's a Marshall or not. We'll know. We'll know. But I think you might know, too. You get the idea. It's a very handsome, very lovely man. Very. Trumpet player. Saxophone horn player. Brass. [00:15:55] Speaker B: Brass. There you go. Flugelhorn. I Learned. That's a, that's a thing. [00:16:02] Speaker C: I used to play trumpet, you know. No one really. [00:16:06] Speaker A: Yeah, we, we lived in the same house. When you were practicing trumpet, I remember [00:16:10] Speaker C: I probably never practiced. I was like, exactly not. No, I mean it was just like you had to play an instrument. [00:16:20] Speaker A: Were you annoyed when I played drums at home? [00:16:23] Speaker C: Yeah, I remember you playing drums. [00:16:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Were you annoyed? [00:16:27] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, I remember like it being very loud and I remember the dog freaking out all the time. [00:16:32] Speaker A: Yeah, the dog hated it. [00:16:35] Speaker C: But then I also remember the dog like eating your braces off your face, so I forget. [00:16:40] Speaker A: That's true. That happened too. So Teddy bears. [00:16:44] Speaker B: Okay, so. So they couldn't get the guy who did abba. [00:16:49] Speaker A: No, [00:16:51] Speaker B: they couldn't get Stabba. [00:16:53] Speaker A: So they made it themselves. And they made like this after, after like, like a couple decades of, or a decade of like making this wild ass noise, grind core stuff. Let's just use everything we know and, and, and make something that everyone's going to enjoy. And they kind of nailed it. And like they were going for like, let's just get in movie trailers. Every movie trailer, comedy, Jack Black, you know, like every, every trailer had, you know, cobra style or different sound in it. [00:17:28] Speaker B: They went the Moby Play route, you know? [00:17:31] Speaker A: Play route. Yeah. And that's where Moby made is like millions from selling Toyotas. [00:17:37] Speaker C: And Moby Play like still hits. [00:17:40] Speaker A: Like it really does. I have to revisit it. I, I, I, I have stayed away from it for a long time because I didn't want to like it to get gross on me, you know, I don't want to get exhausted. I didn't want to get exhausted with it. Is that one of the samples? Oh, baby, that's heart. It's so gross for you. [00:18:02] Speaker C: Crazy on you. Which was in Virgin Suicide. Wait, what was Praise you Heart Crazy on you. Wait, she makes out with Josh Hartnett in the car, like real aggressively. [00:18:16] Speaker A: Did you see Trap? [00:18:19] Speaker C: No. Is it scary? No. [00:18:23] Speaker B: I think my favorite music cue for Virgin Suicides is when they're at the, they're at the dance and they're playing sticks is Come Sail Away and all the balloons fall. I think about that like every couple months. I'm like, [00:18:40] Speaker C: think about it. [00:18:43] Speaker B: You don't even want to know. [00:18:47] Speaker A: I haven't seen Virgin Suicides in a long, long, long, long time. [00:18:50] Speaker C: I haven't memorized in my head. [00:18:53] Speaker A: I think maybe I've seen it once. Do I need to rewatch version of Suicides? I should have rewatched it for this episode. [00:18:58] Speaker C: I Don't know. [00:18:59] Speaker B: Prime. Kirsten Prime. Josh. What's his lines? Like, peach snobs, chicks, ticket. [00:19:08] Speaker A: Damn. [00:19:11] Speaker B: Friend of the show, Josh Hartnett. [00:19:12] Speaker C: I love how, like, slow moving and beautiful and like the way that the lighting is and everything. [00:19:20] Speaker A: It's Coppola. [00:19:21] Speaker C: Like. Yeah, Sophia's the. [00:19:26] Speaker A: Well, she, she went on to do Marie Antoinette. Correct? [00:19:30] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. With Christian dance. Oh. [00:19:33] Speaker A: Also a pretty, A pretty fire soundtrack if you ask me. [00:19:37] Speaker C: I don't know the soundtrack. [00:19:39] Speaker B: Whoa. I just, I just realized. [00:19:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:41] Speaker B: Jason Schwartz. [00:19:45] Speaker A: Jake. [00:19:45] Speaker C: Did he freeze or is he really shocked? [00:19:47] Speaker B: Jake, 13th nephew. [00:19:51] Speaker A: Wait, go back, go back to the Jason Schwarzman. You froze for a minute and I got really concerned. We thought you were lost in space. [00:19:58] Speaker C: I thought he was so shocked that he, like, lost all. Oh, my God, look at him now. He's still not moving. [00:20:05] Speaker B: I'm here, I'm here, I'm here. [00:20:07] Speaker C: Sometimes you're like, oddly still. Jake. [00:20:09] Speaker A: I'm here. [00:20:11] Speaker C: You laugh without sound and you don't move much. [00:20:15] Speaker B: I've been practicing. [00:20:17] Speaker A: Other men call it stoic. [00:20:18] Speaker C: Lauren, have you been replaced by a robot? [00:20:25] Speaker A: No robot could replace. [00:20:30] Speaker B: Yes. No, no, no. I just realized in Mary Antoinette. Marie Antoinette, Yeah. Jason Schwartzman. Sofia Coppola's his cousin. [00:20:43] Speaker A: Like a cousin, nephew or whatever. Yeah, yeah. [00:20:46] Speaker C: Wow. [00:20:48] Speaker A: So is Nick Cage. They're all related. It's up. That weird. [00:20:54] Speaker B: Very cool. Okay, sorry. Getting off track. Okay. So they couldn't, they couldn't get Abba or Stabba, so, so they produced it [00:21:02] Speaker A: themselves in this, create this album of hits. Like, you know, it's like, let's front load it. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. All these will be in commercials. All these will be in movie trailers. All these will, like, they will get play and like, it's all by design. And like, these are like, just right down the middle. And they're fun and they're enjoyable. And they devised a live show with the paper mache. Teddy bear heads. And they're a blast. I saw them live in a certain east coast city with our friend Becky. [00:21:37] Speaker B: Shout out to Becky, friend of the show. [00:21:39] Speaker A: What up, Becky? I texted her. We saw them, right? And she goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, okay, cool. [00:21:46] Speaker B: Wait, where did you catch him in, where did you catch him in? In the Big Apple. [00:21:52] Speaker A: I was trying to figure out. [00:21:54] Speaker B: Oh, no. Okay, see, there you go. See, I, I, no one calls it that. I'm going off of sitcoms and movies here. [00:22:03] Speaker C: Yeah. Okay. [00:22:04] Speaker A: Lauren, calling in from San Fran Fresco. But I, I was trying to ask Becky, like, where that venue was she's like, we saw Patrick. Patrick Wolf there, right? I'm like, yeah. Nine times. What was the name of it? Around the corner? We had a lychee martini. I remember. And she's like. It was called. It's called, like, the Lido Room or something like. That was very cool. We went to a gazillion free shows that we saw Soul Wax there was very cool. Patrick Wolf many times. And we saw a Teddy. [00:22:38] Speaker C: Where did we see Tiny Shorty. Shiny Toy Guns. [00:22:42] Speaker A: Giant toy guns. That was at, like, Joshua. [00:22:46] Speaker B: Y' all saw Tiny. Tiny. [00:22:49] Speaker C: None of us can say it. [00:22:52] Speaker A: Shiny Toy Guns.

[00:23:04] Speaker B: You are the one. You'll never be alone again. Oh, wow. Watch out. [00:23:13] Speaker A: Should we tell him that story, Lauren? [00:23:15] Speaker C: Is that the same band? I'm so confused. [00:23:18] Speaker B: Shiny Toy Guns. Is it Shiny Toy Guns. [00:23:22] Speaker A: We went and saw Shiny Toy Guns when Lauren visited New York to see if she, like, vibe out and, like, feel welcome there and all that. And we went to a Shiny Shiny Toy Guns show because me and Becky liked them a lot. We were. We were way into. We were way into. [00:23:37] Speaker C: Who did I dance into? [00:23:38] Speaker A: You danced into a guy that. That was. You danced at. At the Shiny Toy Guns show. Lauren danced into and bumped into a guy that was on Mad Men. And he was wearing a back. He was wearing a backpack, so him. But he seems like a nice guy. [00:23:56] Speaker B: Oh, wait. Is it the. Is it the guy who's married to Alison Brie? [00:24:01] Speaker A: He's the bigger dude. [00:24:03] Speaker C: Oh. [00:24:04] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yeah. [00:24:04] Speaker C: Watch that then. But I have since. But I probably still won't remember because there's a lot of people on that. [00:24:11] Speaker B: How. How, Elliot? How have we not talked about Shiny Toy Guns before in the fact that you've seen them? [00:24:15] Speaker A: I think it's come up. Has it not? I love that album. [00:24:20] Speaker C: The only song I know and remember is that one. [00:24:24] Speaker B: Which one, Lauren? Which one? Race Cars. [00:24:28] Speaker C: The race car. You're gonna ride the race cars. [00:24:35] Speaker A: What's the band that me and Becky like? The moves, the shoes. The what? We were. Anyways, they were adjacent, so, I mean, me and Becky, my roommate in New York, whether we could go to. We just sign up for all these free shows all the time and, like, end up going to insane parties all the time. It's pretty wild if you live. If, like, you're in, like, if you're on, like, a certain email list. There's a lot of Pretty Wild free. You get invited to. Even though the city is, like, cripplingly expensive. So we sell, like, which city is this? New York City. [00:25:12] Speaker B: Okay, okay, okay. Actual question. I was on Wikipedia today. Have you heard about this? Wikipedia? Yeah, and I was looking up. I was looking up the actor Abe on myself. [00:25:25] Speaker A: You want what on yourself? [00:25:27] Speaker C: I like, cackled, spat on myself. [00:25:32] Speaker B: I was looking up the actor Abe Vagoda. And yeah, it's. It said that he was born in New York City. So when on Wikipedia, I've never heard of it. If it says. If it says New York City orange, [00:25:48] Speaker A: I think it's underwater now. [00:25:49] Speaker B: Which one does that mean? [00:25:51] Speaker C: Which one talks about [00:25:54] Speaker B: is it which. [00:25:55] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't even know what the bit is anymore. Abe. I. I found the band. Becky and I were big fans of the Sounds. The band called the Sounds, which is a rough band name because it's very hard to Google, clearly. I just had to go through a few loops. But out of that, like, you know, you know, young punk with synthesizers, sound. We found Shiny Toy Guns. And we were like, way into it. And Lauren visited and. Yes, Lauren, you have a question? [00:26:36] Speaker C: Do you remember James Blake? [00:26:39] Speaker A: Yes, I do. So anyways, J was so nuts. [00:26:43] Speaker C: Sorry, I was thinking about New York shows and, like, the best of them. [00:26:47] Speaker A: Yeah, James Blake was nuts. Let me get this out. But we. So we all go to see Shiny Toy Guns with Lauren when she visited. And midway through the show, college kid. [00:26:59] Speaker C: FYI, [00:27:02] Speaker A: Lauren's party. [00:27:03] Speaker C: I was throwing up Long Island Iced Teas. [00:27:05] Speaker A: Yeah, that was a bad move, Lynn. Lauren turns to me like of age. Yet it was mid Rainy Monday when Lauren turns to me and she goes, is this some emojis? And that's when she bumped into the guy from Mad Men. And I. And I said, we should probably close out. [00:27:27] Speaker B: Was it really during Rainy Monday? [00:27:29] Speaker C: Actually destroyed a set. [00:27:32] Speaker A: No, that's fine. Oh, then we went to a bar. You knocked over a keyboard? Yeah. [00:27:36] Speaker C: Oh, no. A different night. Or was that the same night of the Matador painting? [00:27:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know if the Sounds was the same night as the Matador painting. See, Jake, I knew this was gonna happen. [00:27:50] Speaker C: It was the same trip, Right? [00:27:52] Speaker A: So Teddy Bear's 2006 release, Self Machine was interesting. It got in a lot of commercials. Anyways, so the Matador painting. [00:28:01] Speaker C: Wait, so the band, though, question, you said that they have a lot of, like, guest people on their songs. Who is the band and who are our guests? [00:28:14] Speaker B: Great question. [00:28:16] Speaker A: There's like three. [00:28:17] Speaker C: This brought me back to an era I'd completely forgotten about. In the early 2000s where you'd be listening to literally any song on the radio, and all of a sudden there would just be, like, a Jamaican rapper part. [00:28:33] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:28:34] Speaker C: Do you remember this? Like, it was in every song across the board. And I. And I was, like, grinning, walking to work, listening to this, because I was like, this is so funny. It's so surprising. I don't know what I'm gonna get each song. It changes so much. [00:28:52] Speaker A: It's, like, silly. [00:28:53] Speaker C: What's happening? Who's part of the band? [00:28:56] Speaker A: Yeah, I would. I guess I would ask you. Does it matter? [00:29:01] Speaker C: Like, so I can't know. [00:29:03] Speaker A: No. There's, like, three guys from Sweden that are in the band. Joachim, guy named Jimmy Legs. And then, you know, I'm just joking. Like. Like. But, like. But they got. They got, you know, Elephant man on there. Iggy Pop, of course, you know, Is [00:29:19] Speaker C: it their musicians, not singers? Is that what's happening? So, like, the vocals come in from other people. Like the girls on the. [00:29:27] Speaker A: Unless they're not. Well, like, they'll use vocoders and stuff like that, but those guys are just, like, programming all the tunes. Yeah, Teddy Bears are programming all the tunes and, like, performing them. [00:29:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:38] Speaker A: And they'll get a guest in every once in a while. Yeah. Jake, what did you say? Jake, what did you think of Soft Machine? [00:29:46] Speaker B: Oh, I thought it was a blast. You know, really upbeat, really positive. Yeah. Something I. I would probably put on, like, in the morning, driving to work, trying to psych myself up. I know when we recorded our previous episode, talking about Tom Petty, we. We talked a good deal about Superman, The. The James Gunn Superman. And you said this song was featured prominently in it and saw it. I got it. But before we get to. Before we get to Punk Rocker. Yeah, because that's the. That's the one I'm, like, itching to talk about. Yeah. Let's go. [00:30:30] Speaker A: This. Any. Any other of note. [00:30:33] Speaker B: I. I loved Cobra Style. [00:30:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:36] Speaker B: I loved Are you feeling it? Featuring Elephant Man. [00:30:40] Speaker A: Cool. [00:30:42] Speaker B: Automatic Lover and different sound. That opening, opening track. What about you, Lauren? [00:30:49] Speaker C: I feel like yours. I really liked. [00:30:52] Speaker A: Yours to keep is awful. [00:30:53] Speaker C: Anytime, like, something came up that I really liked, I would, like, look to see what song I was listening to. [00:30:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:59] Speaker C: Yeah. And I think that was one of the main ones. [00:31:04] Speaker A: Yeah, I Love that. In 06, yours to keep was like, that's going on every mix previously. But, like, it's just nice and, like. Yeah, it's like. That's, like a good, like, track three or four on a mixtape, you know. [00:31:21] Speaker C: What was the one with the girls [00:31:22] Speaker A: singing, yours to keep. [00:31:26] Speaker C: Is that the one with the girls? [00:31:28] Speaker A: Because I'm yours to keep. [00:31:31] Speaker B: The different sounds. [00:31:34] Speaker C: That's the one. I was gonna try to, like, make notes, but I didn't do that. [00:31:39] Speaker A: Okay. [00:31:40] Speaker C: Oh, I loved Riot going on. [00:31:43] Speaker A: Oh. [00:31:45] Speaker C: With that song, I was like, yep. [00:31:47] Speaker A: Oh, cool. [00:31:50] Speaker C: I like fitting of the times. [00:31:53] Speaker A: I'm glad it even affect you. That's so cool. [00:31:56] Speaker C: Yeah. I was like, wait. This could be, like, the soundtrack, though, for, like, right now. Yeah, I liked it. [00:32:04] Speaker A: I think, like, a lot of the criticism of the album is, like, this is so of its time. We'll never talk about this again, but [00:32:11] Speaker C: here we are, you know, in 2006. [00:32:14] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, well, yeah, like. Like, you know, it got. It got pretty hammered. Like, even, like. Well, some people, like, you know, like I said in the intro, like, the condensation of pure sunshine. Like. Like, this is just fun. Let it be what it is. But some, like. [00:32:30] Speaker C: I mean, right. Like, I felt like it. Like the first half is, but then I was like, okay, so this is flows somehow, but also not completely cohesive with how you're feeling while you listen to it. Right. Like, I was like, you've got this, like, random Jamaican rap. You've got these choruses that are, like, reminding me of, like, that butterfly song. Like, I'm your butterfly sugar. Like. Like those, like, you know. [00:33:02] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, Crazy town. [00:33:04] Speaker C: Like, I have 90 songs I haven't thought of in a billion years that are, like, so silly. And then it's like, suddenly it hits you and transitions are seamless. But then suddenly I'm like, wow. I feel like this is political and true of the world right now. [00:33:24] Speaker A: Like. [00:33:24] Speaker C: Like, it changes vibe completely, but it still feels like it never chopped up the way there, if that makes sense. [00:33:33] Speaker A: Okay. [00:33:33] Speaker C: But I was like, how is this, like, an album that makes sense? Like, it was still. It just. It's odd. It is. And it was joyful. But then it. It wasn't so much. [00:33:45] Speaker A: Yeah. I was trying to tell Drake, like, when we were prepping for the episode, just texting back and forth. [00:33:50] Speaker B: I'm like, I don't know. [00:33:50] Speaker A: I. I said, I don't know if I'm gonna have a lot to say about it. It's just kind of a. I think I autocre it to, like, smell all the time. Like a. Just kind of a time capsule of, like, here's this album that dropped where it was just utilized for other things. But there might be something there. Like, it was, you know, every Jack Black comedy, whatever the. In 96 97, 98. Like, cobra style. But like. But if we. If we. Because, like, these guys have been around for way longer than we think, and they're. They've got some opinions. They're really weirdos. They're probably gonna slip a message in here somewhere. Can we find it? [00:34:29] Speaker B: Lauren? [00:34:31] Speaker C: Interesting. Why didn't you give me that text message? [00:34:35] Speaker A: Okay. Because I didn't start the group chat until the other day. Oh, I actually didn't text Jake that. But. But. But I think there might be something here, you know? [00:34:46] Speaker C: You know, thinking that, like, we were the 90s albums and then, like, the songs that were coming to my head that hadn't thought of in forever. I was like, this is early 2000s. This is so funny. Like, I love this. Like, I told you. I was, like, smiling, listening to it, where people thought it was probably insane. And what is up with. Is it track two, where it's like, almost the Kid Rock thing. [00:35:16] Speaker B: The bomb with the ball. Yes, yes, yes. [00:35:21] Speaker A: That's Cobra Style covered by Robin, a friend of the show, a friend of me personally. [00:35:27] Speaker B: Robin, Robin. Shout out Robin. [00:35:29] Speaker A: Did you see Lauren? [00:35:30] Speaker C: Did you. [00:35:31] Speaker A: Did you watch Robin covering Cover style? [00:35:34] Speaker C: No, because he kept sending me things today while I was in meetings. [00:35:38] Speaker A: You heard the bum, the bum, the bum Diggy, diggy, diggy diggy. But she sings that. My stylist. [00:35:50] Speaker C: After the fact. And it's. [00:35:54] Speaker A: They just shared it. They're both from Sweden. They share this song. [00:35:56] Speaker C: How the did that happen? Okay. [00:35:58] Speaker A: Because I hate 2006. [00:36:00] Speaker C: No one's confused. [00:36:02] Speaker A: When did I take extensive notes? [00:36:04] Speaker C: Who came first? And what is happening? [00:36:10] Speaker A: What's the question? [00:36:11] Speaker C: I don't know. Like, why does Machine Robin explain any of this? I'm confused. [00:36:17] Speaker A: Tabors made a song called Cobra Style. [00:36:23] Speaker C: Actually, why does it sound almost identical to Kid Rock's? [00:36:27] Speaker A: I'm not sure I get. I think perhaps Kid Rock was trying to copy a certain dialect. [00:36:32] Speaker B: Kid K. Kid Rock was. Was Cop was referencing Blue Moon. The one. The ball. The ball. The bang. A dang dang. A ding dong. [00:36:44] Speaker A: Blue Moon. [00:36:44] Speaker B: Blue Moon, Blue Moon. And that's why. That's where I think this reference is from. I can't type fast enough. Talk amongst yourselves. [00:36:54] Speaker A: But yeah, like, the. The. My style is the bomb. The bomb. The bomb. Diggy diggy. Is that what you had? [00:37:02] Speaker C: You're asking about, like, he. Like, there was like. Okay, the beginning was different, and then the rest of it was like, almost just like a Jamaican guy singing the same part that, like, Kid Raccoon we hate was. [00:37:15] Speaker A: I don't Press button. I press people button. [00:37:17] Speaker C: Yeah, Like. And I was like, what? Okay, who stole from who? Where does this come from? Because I don't know the history, right? Like, I don't know. I haven't thought about it before. And I was curious if you guys knew. [00:37:32] Speaker A: Valid question. I don't know if I drew that line before with Bobby. Jake's looking it up. But, yeah, let me see. [00:37:44] Speaker C: Once I had. So I had this intern earlier in the year, and the group took him out for drinks on his last day, and then, like, I end up, like, being the last one with him. And I'm supposed to get him on a train to go home, but we end up at this karaoke bar, huh. Instead. And it's like this super fun, insane crowd. And, like, we're there too long, we miss the. The final train. And so I have to get this, like, I like this kid as he's a kid. He's a college kid, you know, and I'm like, old but not realizing it yet and have to, like, get a car that's like a billion dollars because we're not in town. Like, we're. We're at an office that's, like, further away than San Francisco. So anyway, I have to get this, like, $100 car, and the driver's playing Kid Rock. And I'm drunk, you know, so you can imagine how that goes. Where is he doing? [00:38:56] Speaker B: Is he doing Devil Without a Cause Kid Rock, or is he doing, like, Southern Rock Kid Rock? [00:39:01] Speaker C: I don't remember. I don't think anything's excusable. And I don't. I don't know of any Kid Rock [00:39:07] Speaker A: that's like, okay, he's doing director of the interior. Kid Rock. [00:39:14] Speaker C: What? [00:39:15] Speaker A: So just stop around about trump opponenting people that are dumb in positions that so. [00:39:22] Speaker B: So Blue Moon by the Marcels. They. They famously. That ball. The ball, the bang. A dang dang. But all the ball, the bang dang. That's. Even though they're not. No one's credited on Ball with the Ball by Kid Rock. There. There has that. That influence. Has to. [00:39:43] Speaker C: Was that like, from the 50s or what? [00:39:47] Speaker B: Yeah, like 1934, 30s. Yeah. So absolutely. [00:39:56] Speaker C: I. So, you know, like, Led Zeppelin's, like, always been one of my favorites forever and ever. And yeah, they're my faves. And then I listened to. Somehow, I don't even know how I came across it, but it was some radio show that played somewhere, and they were lining up song for song what they had stolen. [00:40:19] Speaker B: Oh, the blues. [00:40:20] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, that like. But like, so identical to the point where it's just jarring. Like, you have no idea, you know. And then you hear it back to back and it's literally stolen from these. Like. And I was so sad, but also like, still love Zeppelin, so it's like this hasn't completely ruined it for me, but it's also crazy to know that, like, is everything stolen and recycled and reused? I mean, I like to think of it like, I remember when I was in like fifth grade or whatever and bell bottoms came in style. [00:41:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:02] Speaker C: And my mom was like, oh, those were popular in my time. And I was like, no, they're new. And she was like, that's not how fashion works. She's like, it goes in circles. Like things are. And I was like, that's so lame. So no one's coming up with anything new. Like, it's all just like. That blew my mind. [00:41:25] Speaker B: Yeah, I, I think, I don't know. I, I while a lot of, a lot of that, you know, the electric blues and, you know, the, the British, you know, like your Rolling Stones or, you know, Led Zeppelin definitely lifted a ton of, you know, black blues players from, from the early 20th century. [00:41:49] Speaker C: There's like, no for. [00:41:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I will say it's unfortunate, but I, but at the same time, I, I do think it's good that a lot of those players certainly, like, like the Stones, they, they took their, their platform and used it to shine a light on, on those players and introduced a lot of, a lot of people who probably wouldn't have bird, like a, like a Muddy Waters or, or like a Sun House introduced them to, to this music and, or Robert Johnson. Everyone, everyone ripped off Robert Johnson. So, yeah, it is kind of like a very jarring experience. [00:42:39] Speaker C: Huge Stones fan. Elliot, were you ever into the Stones? No, I feel like I don't even know them. Like, I feel like I can't even say anything about them here and there. [00:42:50] Speaker B: I like, I, I love the Stones. I. We were in Memphis one time and there's a great. On Beale Street. It's kind of a touristy district, but it's actually where all the, you know, the, the black blues players like BB King got his start on, on Beale street and there's a record store down there and they sell nothing but blues. And I was talking to the record, to the owner and he was like, yeah, like the Stones, when they would come through, when they would come through town, they would find like, you know, the local blues players and they would have them open the shows for them, you know, so that's cool. They. [00:43:29] Speaker C: I'm just saying here that we can steal everything. [00:43:32] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty much. But they, they. I feel like they use their. Their power were good, you know, but at the same time got rich off the art of, of these, of these blues players. So yeah, it's, it's, it's not a very good history. [00:43:52] Speaker C: But yeah, listening to a lot of super crazy. Like when I first heard that show and like heard back to back recordings. I wish I could remember what it was, but I have no idea. And this was so long ago, you know, And I was like, I was just blown away. Like I had no idea that that was what was happening. [00:44:13] Speaker B: That's why I've come to find like Black Sabbath is the way to go because they started off as a blues band but probably weren't as technically good as musicians to. They were as. Yeah, they started off as like a blues band. [00:44:33] Speaker A: Do you find them records? Did they. They have a name change? [00:44:36] Speaker B: No. Well, they started off as like Earth, but then they changed their name to Black Sabbath. [00:44:42] Speaker A: Teddy bears were once Skull. [00:44:45] Speaker B: Skull. Yeah. [00:44:47] Speaker C: Metallica was Flica. And then they got Joke. [00:44:54] Speaker B: I was going say that was a good. [00:44:56] Speaker A: They got terminated into the lava pit. Yeah, I got it. I liked it. [00:45:00] Speaker B: Yeah. If you go check out the. The wizard on the first Black Sabbath, it's like. It's Ozzy playing like blues harmonica before they come in and play this like doom guitar. Yeah. I rip Ozzy, rip Aussie. [00:45:18] Speaker A: You haven't talked about it. Did we talk about it last time? [00:45:20] Speaker B: I think did we. We touched maybe touch on. But yeah, I think like Sabbath like, they're. They start off as a blues band realized, oh man, Led Zeppelin's got this covered, let's try something else and invented heavy metal. But yeah, no, I totally feel what you're saying though. Like. Yeah, yeah, great interpreters of the blues for sure. But yeah, it's, it's pretty note for note. Interesting. Yeah. All right, but okay, so let's talk about punk rocker. The. [00:45:58] Speaker A: Oh yes, please. [00:46:00] Speaker B: This the centerpiece of soft music. Elliot is now showing soft. The centerpiece of soft machine. [00:46:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:11] Speaker B: So do you remember hearing this song, Elliot, back in the day and thinking like, oh, this is, this is the standout track. Or well or. Or watching, you know, Superman 2025. Did you, did you be like, oh yeah, that song rules. What. What was that? Like? [00:46:31] Speaker A: I was, I was into this in 2006. That's what we're talking about. And like I liked all the tunes and I would play them out and all that. At, like, my bar. Gig at pianos and. And what was. [00:46:48] Speaker C: What city was that in? [00:46:52] Speaker A: It was an east coast city. I can't live like this. I have to be able to say, you live there, too. What was Spike Hill? Spike Hill. Yeah. So, yeah, I would throw these things on and all that because they're just like. They're movers and groovers and they're fun and all that. And then, of course, ears to keep on mixtapes and all that. And then, like. And then cut to, like, I had kind of forgotten about it. And then, like, years later, I'm in the movie theater, I'm watching James Gunn, Superman, and I'm like, huh. Say, there's, like, this underlying theme. Lauren, did you watch? [00:47:36] Speaker C: I did not do that. [00:47:38] Speaker A: Okay. There's underlying. [00:47:40] Speaker C: I watched a French murder mystery instead. [00:47:44] Speaker A: I'm sure that was way more rewarding error and. What? [00:47:49] Speaker C: No, I just don't have HBO anymore. But I'll get it back. [00:47:54] Speaker A: We're supposed to have it. Okay, we'll talk later. But. But, like, there's an underlying thing throughout Superman about who's punk, who's more punk rock. [00:48:04] Speaker C: Essentially, he's an allergic to a rock. I was going to type something to you about Spike Hill, and then I missed AI. What did Elliot say? Summarize it for me, Lauren. [00:48:20] Speaker A: That's. That's literally a meme I've made of you saying, I never like Superman. He's allergic to a rock. [00:48:27] Speaker C: Yes, I remember that. But I was, like, blipping out during the first part of the conversation. [00:48:32] Speaker B: All right. [00:48:32] Speaker C: Sorry. I was thinking about Spike Hill. I don't. Never mind. I won't talk anymore. [00:48:39] Speaker A: No, you're quite welcome to chime in. That's what we have you on for. [00:48:43] Speaker C: You look, like, really sad every time I say something. [00:48:53] Speaker A: Anyways, the. The movie has this runner of, like, Lois and Clark, like, comparing notes and, like, their conversation about, like, what. What punk bands Clark was into in middle school and all that. And she's like, the. The. The Crab Joys were not punk rock. He's like, well, a lot of people like them. And like, that was like. So it hit me so hard. Like, I was like, that's what me and Jake talk about. [00:49:19] Speaker B: All that. [00:49:21] Speaker A: And then. And, like. Like, gets hurt and they go to Kansas, and, like, there's the poster on his wall of the shiny Crab Joys, whatever the hell they're called. And, like. And then they have that great conversation before the third act where she's like, what are we doing? You're an alien from space. You're Superman. I'm a journalist. I don't trust anyone. That's how I do this. And he's like, I love everyone. That's how I do this. And she's like. She's like, I'm just a punk rock girl from the Midwest, man. And he's like. She's like, you just love everyone. What the is that? He's like, that's punk rock. And he. And before he. Before he opens the door to leave, he goes. He just goes, I love you, Lois. I should have told you that a long time ago. I'm gonna go get my dog. And he just leaves. So awesome. And then the ending with. With when punk rocker kicks in, and I don't want to spoil it for Lauren, but, like, holy. [00:50:23] Speaker B: Were you just, like, losing your mind in the theater? [00:50:25] Speaker A: I was just. Just spraying tears out of my eyeballs because, like, it. We're gonna spoil it. So when. When Superman gets hurt, don't worry about. [00:50:38] Speaker C: Oh, oh, you mean for the rest of the listeners? [00:50:41] Speaker A: No, for you. [00:50:42] Speaker C: Honestly, don't worry about me. [00:50:44] Speaker A: Okay, so in this movie, when Superman gets hurt, and he gets hurt because it's kind of a younger Superman. I don't know. He gets. He gets hurt. Sometimes he goes to his, you know, Fortress of solitude, his, like, ice castle, and these robots fix him up and make sure he's all right by projecting light. Sunlight onto him. The yellow sun is how he gets his powers. I see you making that face. [00:51:07] Speaker C: Well, you just need some vitamin D, [00:51:10] Speaker A: essentially what it is. But they would always. [00:51:15] Speaker C: You're allergic to this rock, and it's really sad, but here's some vitamin D. [00:51:20] Speaker A: But they would play recordings of his Kryptonian parents while he's getting this injection of sun. That hurts him. [00:51:30] Speaker C: Is there a record called Plutonium Parents, [00:51:36] Speaker A: Jake? [00:51:37] Speaker C: There should be, [00:51:40] Speaker A: but. Okay. But then it turns out his parent. His parents were pretty bad. They wanted him to, like, conquer the Earth and all this when they sent him. Which is pretty wild for them to do canonically, you know. Jake. [00:51:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Bradley Cooper. I did not see that was a choice. Yeah. Because, I mean, Zor is Zor El Zora. I think he's right. [00:52:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:03] Speaker B: Kal El is Superman. [00:52:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:07] Speaker C: He. [00:52:07] Speaker B: Zor El's like. It's Brando, you know? He's, like, noble. He's. [00:52:11] Speaker A: Yeah, but this one is, like, destroy all the humans if you have to. Impregnate all their women. Take up a harem. It's crazy. Lauren. He realizes his parents had sent them There to Earth for this. It's really. [00:52:28] Speaker C: It's a whole new storyline from all the comic books. [00:52:31] Speaker B: You need to watch. [00:52:31] Speaker A: You need to watch this. It's cool. [00:52:33] Speaker C: But I mean, this wasn't written. It's new. [00:52:36] Speaker A: It was written. [00:52:37] Speaker C: No, I mean, it's not in the comic books or. It is in the comic books. [00:52:43] Speaker A: I guess I'll say. No, I'm sure there's like. And yeah, the. The character's been around for 90 years. Like, there's been a lot of stories of Superman, but, like, this is a new one at the end. Like, he. He defies his Kryptonian parents that want him to conquer Earth and he saves Earth instead. And because he loves the people here. And then at the end, he's. He's healing and his robot set. Roses. Do you want to see pictures of your parents? He goes, yes. [00:53:10] Speaker B: It'll. It'll. [00:53:11] Speaker A: It makes him calmer. And they show his adoptive parents. Oh, and it plays Punk rocker as he spins around this chair and they shine light onto him as he heals. And he sees it. Is it. He sees John and Martha, not Jor El and his. It's like he has given up his, like, mother and father for his mommy and daddy. [00:53:39] Speaker B: He's renouncing that Kryptonian. [00:53:44] Speaker A: Yeah, we're not seeing the. The plan for him to be a God amongst these people. He's just gonna protect them instead. It's fucking awesome. And it just plays punker because I'm a punk rocker. [00:53:53] Speaker B: Yes, I am. [00:53:54] Speaker A: And like, that's the real. [00:53:55] Speaker C: So that song, when did it. Was it sampled? Did it come out in 2006 with this band? Was it already a song like, what's Happening? [00:54:06] Speaker A: So I believe Iggy Pop wrote it with Teddy bears in like 0405 because it was on one of their previous albums. [00:54:15] Speaker C: They wrote it together. [00:54:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:17] Speaker A: Or at least they gave him like a loop or something and he sent them something. And like. And recently I sent, you know, like, [00:54:24] Speaker B: of Iggy Pop alive. [00:54:26] Speaker A: He's like, so there's this new big ticket motion picture out called Superman. [00:54:34] Speaker B: That's a really good Iggy Pop. [00:54:36] Speaker A: Thanks, man. I didn't know. I. I didn't know what he sounded like normally. [00:54:39] Speaker C: How old is he now? [00:54:39] Speaker A: Like, boy, oh boy. 127. [00:54:43] Speaker B: He's 78. [00:54:45] Speaker C: What? I. That's too young. Oh, don't mind that. [00:54:49] Speaker A: It's just a. Lauren, you'd go to a Nicki Pop show. I'd be like, yeah, I would. [00:54:56] Speaker C: What? What would I do? What? At A Nicki Pop show. [00:55:01] Speaker A: If you went to a Nicki Pop show, you saw him with his shirt off, he'd be like, yeah, I would for sure. Oh, no, you're a vibes girl. You'd be into it. [00:55:10] Speaker B: No, I've actually. [00:55:11] Speaker C: No, I didn't. Billy Idol, did I? [00:55:14] Speaker A: I was gonna say I didn't do [00:55:17] Speaker C: that and I will not. [00:55:18] Speaker A: Why am I into this? [00:55:21] Speaker C: He's like, well, I did have dreams for like three nights, but that's it. I did not. [00:55:26] Speaker A: You would at least have a dream about Iggy Pop. You'd be like, I wonder. [00:55:29] Speaker C: I might have an dream, but I would not have an Iggy reality. [00:55:32] Speaker A: But he's built like a, like an ant with like a balloon wrapped around him. He's like, I make you pop. And then like, everything else is hanging off of him. [00:55:43] Speaker C: Face is melting off. Like, [00:55:48] Speaker B: he's. He's one of my heroes. Because I'm pretty sure he's like five, two. [00:55:53] Speaker A: No. [00:55:54] Speaker B: So, you know, [00:55:57] Speaker C: just kidding. [00:55:59] Speaker A: I mean, that's fine. [00:56:00] Speaker C: It's just not working in his favor for this argument. [00:56:06] Speaker B: He's a short king. [00:56:07] Speaker C: I wouldn't want like a seven foot Iggy either. So now I'm scared [00:56:13] Speaker A: somewhere in the middle. [00:56:14] Speaker C: I don't want any Iggy. [00:56:17] Speaker B: So I. I'd never heard the song for. Of course I, you know, had heard Iggy, you know, with. With the Stooges and so solo. [00:56:26] Speaker A: Of course. [00:56:28] Speaker B: I love this one. I. It was fantastic. It's on my, like, list. It's great. You know, I. So we. We. So my. My B side. So what? That's besides the point. So. So I picked two songs. One specifically for punk rocker. I picked Heroes by David Bowie. Because when I. When I heard Iggy singing the song, I thought about Bowie. And that's because Iggy and Bowie were collaborators. They were best friends during. So Iggy's Lust the Loser and Lust for Life. See our episode on Trainspotting. David Bowie actually produced those albums. So, like those great songs like Lust for Life, the Passenger, that's David Bowie. And he, he sings like he has that, like, David Bowie croon on this song. And I love it. I thought it's just fantastic. It's so good. [00:57:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, when it says, I'm bored with looking good, I like that. He's like, he's just. He's sick. It's about an aging punk rocker, like, aging rock star. He's like, I'm over this. I'm just gonna. I'm just like moving forward in my [00:57:52] Speaker C: life and like, Very good song. And it actually made me think of Bowie, like, I told you guys earlier, which I was like, is that weird? Do they normally sound similar? What's happening? [00:58:00] Speaker A: Like, I wouldn't. [00:58:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:58:02] Speaker A: I wouldn't say Iggy is like a crooner or anything. Like, boy can, like, hit notes and stuff, right? But, yeah, you have to help me out on this one, Jake. But, like, Iggy's like, I wanna be a dog. That kind of guy. But. [00:58:13] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:58:14] Speaker C: Have the exact Heroes vibe, though. [00:58:16] Speaker B: Like. Yes, absolutely. [00:58:18] Speaker A: I think because of the looping. [00:58:19] Speaker C: His voice was so, like. I was like, is this Bowie? And like, what is this band? Is it just sampling? Like, that's when I was like, what's happening? Because we've got so many things going on here. You were like, oh, it's like so many jobs. [00:58:31] Speaker A: You were like, is this, like a Girl Talk situation where, like, I'm. How am I supposed to listen to this? [00:58:36] Speaker C: Sure. But, like, smoother than Girl Talk there. [00:58:38] Speaker B: And there's that, like, that. [00:58:40] Speaker A: That. [00:58:42] Speaker B: It's sounds like it's a. It is probably a sample, but they're. It's. It's like, for lack of. A Lack of the words to describe it, it's like a. Like a running in both Heroes. That's terrible. I'm sorry. But they both have that. That loop in these songs. And it just. It made me think, like, oh, this. This reminds me of Berlin era. Bowie and Iggy, like a looping like Kazoo or. [00:59:12] Speaker C: Monica talked about Bleaker Street. [00:59:16] Speaker A: What's that? [00:59:17] Speaker B: What was that? [00:59:18] Speaker C: Which song was talking about Bleeker Street? It was a different one, right? [00:59:23] Speaker B: Punk rocker. [00:59:24] Speaker C: I think it was it. Because I thought maybe it was a different one. [00:59:27] Speaker A: Oh, I don't. That might be Heroes. I don't know. [00:59:30] Speaker C: No, no, no. On the album where I was like, oh, okay. I remember when everyone wrote about Bleecker street, like Simon Garfunkel and, like all the beat poets and like, Bleaker, Bleaker, Bleecker was everywhere. It was just. This is the first album I've listened to where it was. It was bringing up things I already knew and loved from, like, many eras. [00:59:58] Speaker A: You're talk, you're talking. [00:59:59] Speaker C: And yet. And yet. It felt like smooth throughout the. But it was just so surprising each time because it was bringing in something completely different than the last thing. [01:00:11] Speaker A: You talking about Soft Machine still? [01:00:14] Speaker C: Yeah. Am I not supposed to be talking about Soft Machines? [01:00:17] Speaker A: Jake is. Jake is now submitting his. What he would put as his B sides. As in, like. [01:00:24] Speaker C: Well, right. Because he's talking about what it made him think of, and I'm just exactly. Like. What it made me think of was so drastically different from the. Oh, my God, you're rolling your eyes. You're so mad. I'm on your. [01:00:34] Speaker A: No, I'm just blinking. Jake, any thread on Bleecker Street? [01:00:39] Speaker B: Bleecker Street. So it is punk rockers that. That references. Let me see. There's a song by Simon Garfunkel called Bleeker Street. [01:00:52] Speaker A: Well, sure. [01:00:52] Speaker B: Where it's. So it's in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. [01:00:56] Speaker A: Yeah. No, El Chain was. [01:00:57] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [01:00:57] Speaker A: Referencing that. [01:00:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Inside. [01:00:59] Speaker C: I was just saying, like, it was bringing back. That song was, like, bringing back different eras and, like, the songs before it. Right? [01:01:08] Speaker A: Yeah, well. Yeah. Well, it's interesting to me that, like, these three Swedish dudes would get Iggy on one of their tunes and talk about. They probably have no idea about. You know what I mean? [01:01:19] Speaker C: One of their aunt probably, like, banged him or something. How do you think they're, like. How do you think they, like, were connected? Because, like, these people aren't, like, well connected. Right? [01:01:32] Speaker A: How do you mean connected? [01:01:33] Speaker C: In 2006, they were trying to still change their name from some heavy metal band. Like, I mean, it just sounds like they wouldn't just have, like, Iggy on speed dial. [01:01:45] Speaker B: Well. [01:01:45] Speaker A: Well, as I said, like, they had been at it for 15 years, and I think they met a lot of people. They met Robin. Well, that's from Sweden and stuff. They have, like, a lot of collaboration there. Probably, like, they're probably neighbors. [01:01:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:02:00] Speaker A: And. And she, like. I want to do Cobra Style. I love Robin so much. Can we talk about Robin for, like, a little bit? [01:02:08] Speaker C: Let's, like, have an episode only about Robin because. [01:02:11] Speaker A: Okay. Jake, do you know much about Robin? [01:02:16] Speaker C: I'm just a guest. [01:02:18] Speaker B: I don't. I know she played ACL that one year. [01:02:21] Speaker A: I could talk about Robin for a hot minute. [01:02:23] Speaker C: Dude, you don't. You don't listen to Robin, Jake. [01:02:26] Speaker B: I don't. I'm not. [01:02:29] Speaker A: What we do is we go to a karaoke night, we all pick a Robin tune, sing it, then we come home, record a show. [01:02:36] Speaker B: Robin, what's her big. What's the. [01:02:39] Speaker C: Oh, my. He doesn't even know what her hits. [01:02:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Call your girlfriend. [01:02:48] Speaker C: Elliot, do you remember when we played musical chairs to Nellie Portman Torn. [01:02:56] Speaker B: See our episode. See our famous episode. It's like episode five of Supervis Nelly and Brillia. Wait. [01:03:06] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, of course. [01:03:06] Speaker C: Of course I do, Torn and I switch your chair. [01:03:09] Speaker A: No, I remember. I Think I told the story differently on the show, but I said I didn't. And then me and my sister played Torn and everyone had a good night. I don't think I remember playing. [01:03:18] Speaker C: Musical showed up, fireworks were going off. [01:03:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:23] Speaker C: Everyone was. Well. The parents were upset, so. [01:03:27] Speaker B: Torn is actually one of the music videos that I listen to before bed quite often. [01:03:35] Speaker C: What is this? Before bed? [01:03:37] Speaker A: Okay, just let me know. What is the. What's. Where's the volume at? [01:03:42] Speaker B: Low. [01:03:43] Speaker C: You know, subtitles. [01:03:47] Speaker B: It's songs that I know well enough that I could hear in my head while watching Stage Direction. [01:03:52] Speaker A: Natalie stays still. Everything else happens around her. [01:03:57] Speaker C: I watch TV shows, like, Almost where you can't hear them and just read subtitles. I'm a weirdo, though. [01:04:03] Speaker A: I just put on like, a podcast or a conspiracy video and I fall asleep on that. [01:04:08] Speaker B: I do Third Eye, Blinds, Jumper, and I'm. I'm out. [01:04:13] Speaker C: Don't kill yourself. [01:04:16] Speaker A: I didn't get to share any new vinyl. I got. [01:04:21] Speaker B: Oh, so we. So, okay. Final thoughts. Oh. [01:04:26] Speaker A: Oh. [01:04:26] Speaker B: And so my other B side was the Transplants, Diamonds and Guns, featuring one of the Bay Area Shout out, Bay Area, Tim Armstrong from Rancid and Travis Barker from Blink 182. I picked diamonds. Oh, and there's another guy. Hold on. I'm going to. I'm going to give him credit where credit is due. Rob Aston, he's another. He's the emcee for the Transplants. I picked the Transplants, um, because when I heard Teddy Bears, it reminded me of. Of. Of this. Of this super group. So Tim Armstrong from Rancid came out of the Gilman scene in Oakland. [01:05:12] Speaker A: Love Rancid. [01:05:13] Speaker B: Love Rancid. And of course, Travis Parker blink way too. And Rob Astin was actually Rancid's roadie. It's. It's like punk rock meets hip hop. And that's what Teddy Bears reminded me of. So I picked Rancid's Diamonds and Guns. If you haven't checked it out, check it out. But. Yeah. Any final closing thoughts on teddy Bears? [01:05:38] Speaker C: No, but I do have a thought on Blue too. [01:05:41] Speaker A: Okay, go ahead. [01:05:43] Speaker C: Well, no, the other night I was thinking about, like, old albums were coming to my mind where, like, I listened to in high school. [01:05:51] Speaker A: This is what the show's all about. Please go ahead. Give us your top 10. [01:05:54] Speaker C: Car racing. [01:05:55] Speaker A: What's that? [01:05:56] Speaker C: And wasn't Car Racer Blink 182 when they pretended to have a different name for, like, one album that. [01:06:03] Speaker A: This. [01:06:04] Speaker B: This is a fantastic subject. Do you. Do you have an hour do you have 45 minutes to an hour? No. [01:06:10] Speaker A: Jake. What do you know that we don't know? [01:06:11] Speaker C: I'm adding it to library now and. Oh, man, like, what was that? And it was only one time, right? [01:06:22] Speaker B: So it was like. Like a one off album. So Travis Barker is this. Like, he is just a musical library. And he actually introduced Tom DeLonge, the guitar player and singer from Blink, to hardcore bands, heavier bands. And. And Tom was so. [01:06:42] Speaker C: Stabba. [01:06:43] Speaker B: Yeah, like Stabba. Like Stabba and Black Moon. Let's not. Let's. Let us not forget Black Moon. Do I remember Black Moon when he. The. The Shredder guy who would come to. He would come and he would play like with his little guitar amp. Yes. Okay, so Travis. Travis Barker introduced Tom to these heavier bands. And Tom was so taken by them that. That he wrote an album's worth of songs that were heavier, darker, more really emo than what Blink was doing. And in an effort to kind of want to be his own artist, broke from Mark Hoppus and recorded this album called Boxcar Racer with Travis. And it's kind of a flawless album. It's. There's no skips on there. Total recommend. [01:07:36] Speaker C: Remember thinking it was like, Elliot, have you ever listened to this? [01:07:41] Speaker A: No. [01:07:43] Speaker C: Ever? No. Okay. I. Okay. I added to my library to like re. Listen because I remember loving it. And I was thinking about like the Harder Weezer album that came out around the same time, like Maladroit or whatever, where. Yeah, it was just like different than the rest of them. And of course they got lame in sense, you know, but like back in the day when Pinkerton was the. It was like. What do you mean? You've got your hash pipe. Yeah, that's hardcore. What are you talking about? And it was like around the same era. And I was like, shit, I need to like, add this all to some weird, like, high school playlist. And listen to this again. Box Cars are being like, no, it's. This is me thumbsing up for people who can't see. See? [01:08:31] Speaker B: No, it's. It's. It's a legit, really, really good album. And actually Tim Armstrong from Rancid comes out on it. [01:08:40] Speaker C: Interesting. [01:08:41] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. [01:08:41] Speaker C: I don't remember being like, super heavy or anything, but just like, better. [01:08:46] Speaker B: No, I mean, like, compared to, like. Because compared to what Blink was doing at the time, it was a little bit more. A little bit more edgy. Tom started doing his emo band in emo bangs. [01:08:58] Speaker C: We can't use that as like a good thing, [01:09:04] Speaker B: but, yeah, total awesome. Anytime anyone mentions Box Razor, I'm just like, go on. So, yeah, it's. It's good. That's awesome. All right. [01:09:13] Speaker C: I'll have to give that a fresh listen. Yeah. Lauren, do you like my head randomly? Huh? [01:09:19] Speaker A: You like angels and airwaves? [01:09:23] Speaker C: I don't know. Do I? Do I know them Angels? [01:09:27] Speaker B: Neighbors is like, Tom. So Box Eraser is actually what led to, like, Blink breaking up for, like, a long time. [01:09:38] Speaker C: Good things do. [01:09:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Mark was. Mark was so hurt by Tom going off and doing his own thing because they're, like, best friends. [01:09:50] Speaker C: He kind of like, here, you live your life without me. [01:09:53] Speaker B: I know. He kind of, like, never let it go. [01:09:56] Speaker C: And they broke up in their 20s during this time. Like, were they still pretty young? [01:10:04] Speaker B: Absolutely. Yeah. For sure. [01:10:06] Speaker C: I want to say, like, they're still in that phase of life where, like, you don't know, you can still get [01:10:12] Speaker A: your feelings hurt in your 20s. Yeah. [01:10:15] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [01:10:15] Speaker C: Like, yeah. You're just, like. You act in these ways that, like, you don't realize are, like. [01:10:20] Speaker A: It's like, oh, this is like a weird business thing. Okay. And then when you're in your 40s, you're invulnerable, ideally. And then if you're 50s and you can still get butt hurt about music, you're in the Eagles. [01:10:33] Speaker C: I didn't even catch that. [01:10:34] Speaker A: Did you hear me? You're in the Eagle, too. [01:10:37] Speaker C: Quiet on your mic. What? [01:10:39] Speaker A: I'm outside. [01:10:41] Speaker B: Well, yeah, like, so, like. Like, what's my age again? Like, Mark was 23. Like, you know, nobody likes you when you're 23, you know, so 99. He was 23. Boxcar came out 2001, I think. So he was 25. 26, maybe. [01:10:58] Speaker C: So, yeah. In your 20s, I feel like you're gonna act wrong. [01:11:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:04] Speaker A: And to be fair, that's a very youthful band. Blink Blink and all that. Like, come on. It's a youthful music, right? [01:11:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:10] Speaker A: And one of the. One member. Member of the band wants to, like, age up and, like. [01:11:15] Speaker C: Right. [01:11:15] Speaker B: Mature. [01:11:16] Speaker C: But people aren't necessarily going to be, like, mature and understanding about that. [01:11:20] Speaker A: I still want to take off your jacket and take off your. [01:11:23] Speaker B: What is it? [01:11:24] Speaker A: Sit down. [01:11:24] Speaker B: Take off your pants and jacket. [01:11:26] Speaker C: Remember, like, jacket was, like, such a thing. Like, Cake did that too. Like, take off your pants. [01:11:32] Speaker A: A big Cake fan talk about that. [01:11:35] Speaker C: I love cake. I have loved them for ages and ages and ages. I am also curious, though, because I started listening to Cake around the same time I listened to punk and quotes of. Because I think everyone's Definition of punk might be different, but it was like middle school era and. What did you just say? [01:12:02] Speaker A: Maybe that's the real punk rock. [01:12:05] Speaker C: I still don't understand him. Did you, Jake? [01:12:08] Speaker B: It's. It's a Superman reference. [01:12:10] Speaker C: Oh, well, then I'm not gonna get it anyway. That's fine. [01:12:17] Speaker B: That. That comfort eagle. [01:12:19] Speaker C: Too clean. [01:12:22] Speaker A: Spider Man's too clean. [01:12:23] Speaker C: Silent laughing is like funny. It's. [01:12:26] Speaker B: There's a. Oh, Lauren. There's a Austin Cake tribute band. [01:12:31] Speaker C: Ah. That cake still plays like. [01:12:33] Speaker A: It's called Strudel. [01:12:35] Speaker B: What is it called? [01:12:36] Speaker C: I just saw Cake in LA that long ago icing and it's still like. [01:12:41] Speaker A: No, it is not. [01:12:42] Speaker C: What is that called? The verb slap. The what? The is that stupid instrument that they play on every. It's like a. You smack it and it. Like. Who does a sitar in like every song? [01:12:59] Speaker A: Who does cake? Yeah, a sitar. [01:13:03] Speaker C: No, it's like literally like a slab of metal and a thing that sticks out and you hit it and it like reverberates. It's like. It's in like every song they use. You have to know what I'm talking about, Jake. [01:13:15] Speaker B: Like the. Like a washboard. [01:13:18] Speaker A: Is it a theremin? A theremin. [01:13:20] Speaker C: Okay, okay. [01:13:22] Speaker A: Look up a video. [01:13:25] Speaker B: Let me see. Let me see. [01:13:26] Speaker C: Cake song. [01:13:27] Speaker B: Oh. Vibrislap. [01:13:30] Speaker C: Vibra slap. [01:13:32] Speaker B: A percussion. A. A percussion instrument that produces a distinctive rattling sound. [01:13:39] Speaker A: Vibraslap was my nickname. [01:13:41] Speaker C: I use it in every song. And like I went with this call couple and then Sasha and like, I don't know, it was just like a really funny night. So I like found out who the couple's address was was and just like randomly mailed them anonymously. Anonymously. A verba slam. It's like open up their mail and had this like weird ass cake instrument. Like no other band uses a sweet. Where. Being around is like speak. Well, anyway, I love cake. I remember first seeing them actually here in San Francisco in my college years. We used to come hang out at Hippie Hill and Golden Gate park where you could just like always find someone with a joint, you know? And Cake was just like playing a free show randomly one day, like while I was there. And we had no idea what was happening. Facebook was like barely a thing. You didn't find information on the Internet. You just went and did things and amazing stuff happened, you know? [01:14:55] Speaker B: Is. Is Lauren, is Rasputin Records still. Still around in the hate? [01:15:00] Speaker C: Rasputin Records? [01:15:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:03] Speaker C: I don't know. What neighborhood is it in? [01:15:05] Speaker B: They were. They were in the hate. [01:15:09] Speaker C: I'M not sure. Oh, man, I went. I've been here a couple times recently, but like, I wasn't really paying attention to. [01:15:18] Speaker A: Yeah, Jake, I wish it was easier to find record stores on Discogs. Do you know what I mean? [01:15:23] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I get what I wish. [01:15:26] Speaker A: It was easier to find record stores sellers on Discogs. Like, I met a lot of dudes selling that I'm very into at the record convention this last month. And like, they all had a Discogs page. But it's hard to search for it on Discogs itself. I don't know. But I found some goodies. [01:15:51] Speaker B: Oh, yeah? [01:15:52] Speaker C: So what did you get? [01:15:55] Speaker A: I went to Palmer Event center like twice a year, I guess now almost, or maybe once a year. I don't know. Time is. Time is all evaporated to me. I have no, no understanding of time anymore. I just see it through my doctor. [01:16:08] Speaker C: Hardly anyone does. It's just [01:16:12] Speaker A: so. [01:16:13] Speaker B: So one of our new. And I guess we can. We can put. Put a bow on tonight's episode. One of our new segments is I bought the vinyl. You know, so we. Where we. When we share recent records, we. We picked up and Elliot visited the biggest record convention in the country, the Austin Record Convention, and was texting me all the pictures and just making me jealous. Elliot, what did you pick up? [01:16:48] Speaker A: Well, normally I go to these things. It's a lot of like, you know, Beetle Stones, a lot of. A lot of John Cusack walking around the heavy hitters. [01:16:55] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [01:16:58] Speaker A: From High Fidelity, you know, right. Looking for their. [01:17:01] Speaker C: And they went pulling up a record player instead. [01:17:06] Speaker A: Ow. Yeah, no, but like from High Fidelity and like, like I went. The day I went like pre buying, you know, when they're still setting up and all that. And like, got to dig through and like, everyone turned out for Elliot. Happy birthday to me. Everyone had like, cool ass, like techno. 12 inches that you can't get anywhere. I showed you the, you know, orb. Little fluffy clouds. I got Comic Brothers. Life is Sweet. On the B side is a Daft Punk remix of Life is Sweet by Chemical Brothers. No one talks about death Punk remixed. Chemical Brothers. And it's one of the best remixes. It's so badass. [01:17:52] Speaker C: They put a remix on their own. [01:17:58] Speaker A: It's a Chemical Brothers tune, Life is Sweet and Daft Punk remixed it. The remix is. [01:18:06] Speaker C: Oh, got it. So Chemical Brothers didn't put it out. As in, like, this is awesome. We'll add it. [01:18:12] Speaker A: Well, that's essentially what happened. Yeah. Oh, I'm not sure what you mean. I got a old BT12 inch featuring Tori Amos.

Oops, they forgot to make the whole thing. So this is a glorious dawn put up by Jack White's Third Man Records. It's this wild ass Carl Sagan sample etched in the back. I don't know if you can see it. Probably not, but you can see like. Oh yeah, it's the same etching that the record that sound in the space is. It's like a really cool like trip hop tune that Carl Sagan speaks over. And of course it happened. It happened. [01:20:58] Speaker B: Oh, you picked up the K Pop Demon Hunters.

[01:22:13] Speaker C: I don't know your faces. Otherwise, every time I spoke, you looked, like, really annoyed or sad, so I [01:22:19] Speaker A: think you're just nervous. I'm having the time of my life. This is like the best thing ever. [01:22:22] Speaker B: Truly, I. I don't know if I've picked up anything. [01:22:27] Speaker A: What does AI say? [01:22:29] Speaker C: Hey, was Elliot really mad slash sad? I was here. [01:22:34] Speaker A: What is that? [01:22:36] Speaker B: No, this. Honest. Honestly, Laura, this has been one. This has been one we've been. We. We've talked about for a while. Even when. Oh, man, my discogs isn't working. Even. Like, I think we even talked about as far back as when we did air and no doubt. Or like, oh, man, Lauren would be. [01:22:54] Speaker C: That's like, what I would have loved to. I mean, again, Tragic Kingdom would probably be one of my top want to see album tours. [01:23:04] Speaker A: Oh, okay. We did. We did try to Kingdom. [01:23:06] Speaker B: Right. [01:23:07] Speaker C: Tragic Kingdom for six years when I was kid. [01:23:10] Speaker B: Yeah, we did Tragic Kingdom, but I [01:23:13] Speaker C: mean, like, to see live as a album. [01:23:16] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's another one and what's. Okay, how about this? This is what usually when we have a guest on which has happened like a couple times. What. What is your, like, 90s? Well, we had Nick on. Nick. [01:23:33] Speaker B: Nick from Mickey Minutes. [01:23:35] Speaker A: And I asked him what. What's your radio rock guy like? Meaning, like Jake's stuff. What's your electronic like, why are there balloons? Wait, I said one, two, like this, go like this. [01:23:56] Speaker C: I feel like it's like an up movement. What the hell? [01:24:01] Speaker A: It's really weird. [01:24:04] Speaker C: I don't have like, anything cool like that. [01:24:07] Speaker A: Well, you're on the same thing that we are. Yeah. L Train. What's. Who's your number one radio rock group? [01:24:19] Speaker C: Does that mean, like, you're listening to the radio now? [01:24:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:22] Speaker A: No. [01:24:23] Speaker C: Or like back when you used to [01:24:25] Speaker A: listen, I think, like, how about night? [01:24:28] Speaker B: Yeah. 90s. You know, the. Or early. [01:24:34] Speaker C: I learned off the radio that I randomly have recently listened to and put on a playlist. [01:24:42] Speaker A: Love. That sure hit us. [01:24:44] Speaker C: It's so strange and I don't know why it happened, but came to my head and I was like, kind of kind of slaps. [01:24:53] Speaker B: Sure. [01:24:54] Speaker C: Audio Slave. Like a stone. [01:24:56] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:24:59] Speaker A: Can I say something? [01:25:00] Speaker C: And I don't even know why, but it's like. Like. [01:25:02] Speaker B: Girl, you are speaking my language. [01:25:07] Speaker A: Rip. Right? Oh, oh, oh. [01:25:13] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. [01:25:14] Speaker C: When was that? What happened? [01:25:16] Speaker A: Help me out, Jake. What's his name? [01:25:17] Speaker B: Rip? Chris Cornell. [01:25:19] Speaker A: Cornell. [01:25:20] Speaker C: Was that Chris Cornell? [01:25:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Audio Slave. Yeah. Dude, that was when. [01:25:24] Speaker C: Guys, I'm, like, so bad with names. And, like. Like, unless I'm obsessed with you, like, I'm not gonna remember your name. [01:25:33] Speaker A: I've heard that so many times in my tweeting life. Unless I'm obsessed with you, I'm not gonna remember, like, it's too much to [01:25:42] Speaker C: remember, like, the band name and then everyone in the band. [01:25:46] Speaker A: Oh, that's exhausting. Yeah, but, like. But Chris Cornell's. I will every once in a while, just, like, just pop on his channel. [01:25:55] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, he. He did an amazing cover of Guns N Roses. Patience. [01:26:04] Speaker A: Okay. Oh, which one's Patience? I don't even know. I don't know. [01:26:08] Speaker B: I'll drop it in our group chat. [01:26:10] Speaker A: All right. [01:26:10] Speaker B: Oh, and then he did. He did an amazing cover of Princes or Slash Sineads. Nothing compares to you. [01:26:18] Speaker A: Oh, really? [01:26:20] Speaker C: Oh, funny, because I didn't realize that was Prince originally until I think Justin Tim pointed it out to me. Well, he's like, you got the letter, too, and the spelling of letter U. Like [01:26:35] Speaker A: Prince Ghost wrote a lot of. In the day. [01:26:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:26:38] Speaker C: Oh, I forgot. I wasn't supposed to say last names. [01:26:40] Speaker A: That's fine. You're cool. [01:26:42] Speaker C: I think Justin will be like, it's fine at all. [01:26:47] Speaker A: Go check out Justin Tim's articles. Is it? [01:26:53] Speaker B: No, man. I. I love Like a Stone. That. That first Audio Save album is in. Just wild. So good. [01:27:01] Speaker A: So Audio Save was like, Rage, Rage and Soundgarden teaming together. [01:27:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:27:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:27:09] Speaker B: So Zach De La Rocha, the singer from Rage, I don't think he. So [01:27:17] Speaker A: if. [01:27:17] Speaker B: If what I remember correctly, Limp Bizkit won album of the year over Rage against the Machine in the early 2000s. So the drummer. The drummer from Reagan's Machine, stormed the stage at the MTV Music Awards when [01:27:36] Speaker A: he climbed up the scaffolding. [01:27:37] Speaker B: Yes, when he climbed the scaffolding. And he was taunting Limp Bizkit. And apparently that. That really upset Zach De La Rocha, the singer, and so he quit Rage against the Machine. And so they recruited Chris Cornell from Soundgarden to. To sing. To sing on their music. And I kind of like it more than Rage against the Machine. [01:27:58] Speaker A: I mean, depends what you like, but, [01:28:00] Speaker C: like, I heard like, the backstory. [01:28:02] Speaker A: Like, there's, like, stories of, like, that Cornell singing in the booth. And, like, the glass was rattling. His voice was so powerful. [01:28:09] Speaker B: Holy. Oh, God. Chris Cornell. Oh, [01:28:14] Speaker A: what's. What's the Bond tune? Like, you know my name. [01:28:17] Speaker C: You know my name. [01:28:22] Speaker A: Sick. [01:28:22] Speaker C: What was Casino Royale all the time. That was, like, kind of creepy. Like, you know when you're a kid and you're listening to radio and it's about. [01:28:32] Speaker B: Is it Black Hole Sun? No. [01:28:38] Speaker C: Now my brain. I just, like, my brain skipped to a PJ Harvey song, which is not what I'm thinking about. Remember her creepy song on the radio when you're younger? That was, like, underneath butter. Like, I think a girl, like, dying [01:28:53] Speaker A: in the water who did the. I'm not an addict, baby. That's choice. Okay. I like that tune. [01:29:02] Speaker C: And not an addict. That's old. Also, like, on I'm not an addict. [01:29:06] Speaker A: I like that. [01:29:08] Speaker C: So good. [01:29:08] Speaker A: That's a good one. [01:29:09] Speaker C: Like there with White Town and White Town. [01:29:12] Speaker A: I'll never be a Woman. That'll be on. [01:29:19] Speaker B: I once saw PJ Harvey open up for Third Eye Blind. [01:29:24] Speaker C: That's so random. Why would PJ open for them? [01:29:28] Speaker B: It was a South by Southwest joke. [01:29:30] Speaker C: She's a goddess. [01:29:33] Speaker A: I saw an interview with the actual singers of K Pop Demon Hunters, the actual people that sing it, and they said, who would you like to cover some of these songs? And. And the girl that says. The girl that plays Mira that my kid went as for Halloween said, elliot Smith. And I was like, what? [01:29:51] Speaker C: Really? Elliot? [01:29:54] Speaker A: What? She. [01:29:56] Speaker C: Elliot Smith? [01:29:57] Speaker A: Yeah. The girl from that sings on these crazy ass songs from kpop, David Hunters, that plays one of the trio that my daughter went as for Halloween that Elliot Smith would do a killer cover of one of these tunes. [01:30:11] Speaker C: And I was like, that's excellent. [01:30:13] Speaker A: Isn't that cool? I love that a lot. [01:30:15] Speaker C: I love, like, I. I was like, hammered at some bar the other. So I was walking. I met Sarah actually at her hometown where she went to high school, Pleasanton, which I, like, took Fart to, like, go meet her because she was there for her high school reunion. [01:30:32] Speaker A: Okay. [01:30:33] Speaker C: And, you know, drink a bunch of wine on my way back. Took the train back and I'm walking home and some guy, like, comes up to me and he's like, I have no friends and I just moved here and I don't know what's happening. Like, is there anything to do? And I was like, well, we can go get a drink right now. Like, because I was already, like, drunk enough. I wasn't Gonna be like, sure, call me sometime. So I take him to the Jack Kerouac bar. What the is it called with the V? I always want to say it was Spio. Is that what it. But, like, is that a restaurant in New York? [01:31:11] Speaker A: Oh, Spago. [01:31:14] Speaker C: Like, Sparkle is like a. Confuse it with a New York thing. But it's a V word, God damn it. [01:31:22] Speaker A: A B word. [01:31:23] Speaker C: Anyway, that's burped. We go, [01:31:28] Speaker B: Vesuvio. [01:31:30] Speaker C: Vesuvio. Thank you. Vesuvio. Something in New York. And I always say the wrong thing, but Vesuvio's really cool. It's where all the beats hung out together. It has, like, little cool alleyway. It's like a. It's kind of like New Orleans architecture where the inside, they have this, like, upstairs with these. Balcony type style. Like, I don't know. It's a very cool playground. Has a lot of history. And he ends up, like, having a job interview the next day. Has to go online of hanging out with other people. I'm, like, sitting there with some old man at one point, and I think he asked about a tattoo or something, and I was like, it's Elliot Smith. You don't know who the Elliot Smith is? He had no idea. And I made him put on headphones and listen to [01:32:32] Speaker A: wow. [01:32:34] Speaker C: At, like, one of, like, the coolest, most like, very vibrant bars. This is exactly like Spike Hill. [01:32:43] Speaker A: Do you. Yeah, I was gonna say. Do you remember? Yeah.
