Speaker 1 (00:19):
You're listening to one hundred words or Less with Ray Harkins. Listen,
you know what time it is. You are here for
the best of twenty twenty three list with my good
friends Joey Kale from Wanna Hear Records and Jeremy Bohm
from Tuoche Moray Secret Voice Records, Hesitation Wounds. You know,
a multi hyphen it as it were? I mean, aren't
we all? I mean, everybody is complicated and they got

(00:41):
a million things going on. Anyways, I'm thrilled. And if
you are only listening to one episode this year, I've
got like, you know, fifty some odd other interviews that
I do throughout the whole year. And yeah, I got
a lot of fun stuff. So you know, don't just
dip in once a year. How about you just keep
checking this thing out, like you know, maybe once every
other week or something. That way, you can catch up

(01:01):
on interviews with people who you may have missed, because
that's what I love about this thing, all the conversations
for Evergreen. You're never late to the party. Just just
come in and hang out and leave as you please.
Just make sure you're not bothering anybody as you're leaving. Anyways,
let's dive in. Because it's of course a long episode,
as these usually are, so you can always support the

(01:23):
show a few different ways. One, you can email the
show one hundred words podcast at gmail dot com. Love
to hear any and all feedback, maybe your favorite record
of the year. All those things are great. You can
also leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts. Those
are very important because it helps the algorithm, you know,
put the show in front of the people who need
to know about it. And you can also do the

(01:44):
same thing on the Spotify page if you listen to
the show on Spotify, and also there will be linking
the show notes. But follow along with the show on YouTube.
If you are listening to podcasts on YouTube, which is
a very popular platform for podcasts, I should say you
can subscribe and that way you can you know, listen
to it at work when you're blocked from some some

(02:05):
weirdo firewall on your phone or whatever. Anyways, that's what
people have told me before, so I'm just passing that
information along, so link in the show notes for that. Anyways,
let's go. Let's talk about the best records of twenty
twenty three. Thoughts to it by.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Line swimming through my own life, trying to get away
a buck A million times.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
I don't know. So uh, here we are again for
the nine year in a row that we've done this.
And what I always like to ask you, guys, what
have you learned about yourselves this year and your musical consumption?

(03:00):
That you don't like music anymore? Is that a problem?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I've learned that I sit and listen to music all
day long at the store, that when I leave the store,
I don't want to listen to music ever, so I don't.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
But then you, but then you also just like play
Christmas songs on repeat for six hours.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Six and a half just one song. It's a good day.
What song It's the most wonderful time of the most
wonderful time of the year by Andy Williams. Okay, we listened,
Doug and I listen to it for six and a
half hours straight. It's great. It started as it was
like a uh it started as a bit, and then

(03:38):
it became a power of will of who would be
the first to break not I, not I.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
It would be hard if it was the Paul McCartney.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh no, no, no, this is I mean, this is
like a top three Christmas song like easy there was
we would go in and out where all of a
sudden it was like I couldn't. I forgot we were
listening to it, and then it was like, oh, yeah,
this song is great and then it'll just go int
like I could just focus it off and it was great.
Good times.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
I only explained the first customer that was in the store.
I was like, heads up, this is happening, and then
Doug was like, you can't do that, and so I
stopped telling people about it.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
That's really funny. That's really.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
So you only listen to music at the record store, okay,
and Jeremy, do you only listen to music at home
on your record player or do you listen.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
To music to her? It's so funny.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Once again, I get called out every time I do
this Spotify rapped because it's like when I see other
people's and like the amount of hours of music that
they listen to, and then like compared to mine, it's like,
you listen to twelve hundred minutes of music, You're like,
really interesting, not a lot compared to people who have

(04:53):
like six hundred and forty three thousand hours.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Totally.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Yeah, I mostly just listen to podcasts on my you know,
Spotify situation, unless I'm just like kind of quickly checking
out something or or you know, I'll listen to something
for like one time through if it's something new that
interests me, but then usually I'm ordering it on vinyl
and then I just patiently wait for that to arrive

(05:18):
and that's where I spend my time with it, you know.
And I think that's kind of been consistent this whole time.
There's one record on my list that I don't have
on vinyl yet that's very new that I think. It's
just fantastic that I have listened to specifically only on
streaming because that's the only way it was available to me.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
So yeah, right, same, Yeah, Oh interesting.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I doubt there's going to be the same thing.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Then probably not, but probably not.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, I find myself like I like you. I mean,
I'm I'm probably like a seventy thirty split seventy percent
vinyl thirty percent like streaming or whatever. And by the way,
like I try to just partially because I work for
a Amazon owned company, tried to Amazon Music this year

(06:10):
leaves a little something to be desired.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
That exactly is fired.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, I know, I'm just I mean, good luck in favor.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Just I just got to call a spade a spade.
You know, I'm gonna be honest about that, but it was. Uh.
I do find myself like at this time of year,
if I don't have something on vinyl and I put
it on my top ten list, I'm like, oh, yeah,
Like for whatever reason, I just didn't peck that up yet,
so I need to. Yeah, Uh, is there any honorable

(06:42):
mention slash shout outs that you want to do separate
from the list of like hey, I really liked what
this label was doing, I really liked what this band
was doing, or anything that kind of you know, triggers
that when I say.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
That, I am not trying to take over, but should
we do that at the end in case there's something
that we.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Like.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
If I shout something out that ends up being on
Joey's list or vice versa, you know what I'm.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Saying, Oh that's true, I listen, this is this is
a creative and collaborative environment.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Yeah, I would just I would just hate to shout
something out that ends up being your number one.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
You know.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, You're like, this isn't this isn't good enough to
make my list.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I think that Joey.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
So I just saw Joey was that last week? Last week?

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yes, I don't.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Yeah, yeah, we're recording this in between a tour. You know,
It's why I don't sound one hundred percent. But I
just saw Joey the other day and we were both
kind of talking, kind of finishing each other sentences that, like,
there's a lot of cool music that came out this year.

(07:53):
But what's hard for me with making a list is
there's a lot of records that I don't really love
from start to finish. I think there's a lot of
great fucking songs that came out this year. I think
I would have a much easier time making a top
ten favorite songs of the Year than a top ten
favorite records of the year.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
And I don't know how common.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
That has been, So yeah, putting this list together was
a little bit of a challenge just because yeah, I
think I liked more actually this yeer than records.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I actually fat This was the first year where, like
I mean, I didn't have necessarily a problem putting together
ten records. But at the same time, there were certain
songs that were just like just completely made the record
for me in ways where it's like, oh, yes, like
I like the record as a whole, but this song
really cements it on my list because either it's like

(08:45):
I just keep going back to that same song, so
and this is the first time too that I There
are just certain records where I'm like, oh, I'm gonna
mention the record and I really like the record, but
this is the song.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yeh on this record totally that makes it.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
There's also like a records that I just never got
around to diving into that are like making all these
year end lists and I'm like, yeah, I probably if
I spent more time with that, it probably would have
potentially made it on here.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
But I'm just late to stuff or just never you know,
haven't spent the time.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
This is probably the hardest list I had to make
I've made in a long time. Like I feel like
at the end of the day, there was like thirteen
fourteen records that I really liked, which feels low and
it was like but even like ten of them was tough.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
It's a little bit of a little bit of a stretch.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Well we need ten, I got I got ten yet,
and I'm very happy with my ten I had to,
I could have made it eleven and I cut. No.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well, we'll just well, we'll tag that on at the
end of this, did panic Let's go put out a
record this year?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Was that this year? I can't remember if it was
this year last year.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Well we would know because it'd probably be on your
list at least top three, at least top three.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Are you praying that he does obviously a solo record,
even though Pannicant Disco was essentially a solo record.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
I feel like I'm uh too close to the source
to to have an opinion, a fair opinion on this, that's.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
True, Joey.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, silent, my phone is on silent?

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Who's buzzing? Who is that?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
My phone was buzzing?

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah? Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
How to turn off the buzz.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
All this silent modifications?

Speaker 3 (10:39):
How do I do these things? What do we know?

Speaker 5 (10:43):
I have become the biggest cop of podcasts. But I'm trying.
I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to help raise
situation here.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
This sounds like raised problem then.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah. I just never knew Joey to sound like such
an old man so quickly. Yeah, this like twenty minutes,
but it's it's fine.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, how well.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
All you do you can put you can put your
stuff on sleep. You know, there's a lot of different ways.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, oh yeah, I'm gonna do not disturb that. There
we go, There you go, beauty.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Hey, well, in honor of Joey being the actually, I
mean you are the literal oldest person on here, so
not by much, but you can you can. How about
you hit us with your tenth record of the year,
number ten.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
My number ten is the one that I don't have
on vinyl yet, is the new code seven. Go let
it in, ah, and probably could have gone higher if
it came out a month or two ago. But it
is just phenomenal, like how you go away for twenty

(11:54):
years twenty? When was the Rescue was two thousand and two.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
We had a record after that too, which was that,
Oh they don't down.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
That one, Yeah the DC I completely forgot that existed,
but that was still really good. Rights This record is great. Ah.
I was listening to it at the store the other
day and God, I don't remember who I was working with,
but they were like, I feel like this would have

(12:24):
been really popular like ten years ago, or this is
what the Deftones want to sound like a lot of
like I was, like, I was explaining that Code Seven's
always felt like like a band's band or like you
got to be like a complete dork to to like
follow along with Code seven. And you know, I honestly

(12:45):
forgot this was coming out until Ray you texted me,
and I've listened to it every day.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Since I did not know this existed. What what's the energy?
I mean?

Speaker 5 (12:56):
I knew that they like because we played Furnace Best
with them, which was right, but I didn't know and
I knew that they had released a single, but I
didn't know like there was a full album out already,
So like, what does it? Does it sound familiar to
stuf they've done in the past.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
It, yeah, it to me. It's it's a little bit heavier,
maybe not as like spacey like atmosphereic stuff, less stuff
about aliens, but there's still aliens on that. I'm sure
there's not a there's not a UFO on the cover.
Oh ah.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
When they stayed at your guys house, the singer slept outside.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
It's my favorite thing. He slept outside. Oh yeah, he
definitely slept outside, but it was.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
The front yard right or was it the bats in
the back? I can't remember.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Okay, I literally told that story. Was that to you, Jeremy?
Who did I tell that to?

Speaker 4 (13:53):
I mean, I've known that story for like Oh then I.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Told someone about the other day that exact same thing.
It's the best. Uh yeah, it.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Makes me like that person a lot more. I ever didn't.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, I saw I saw them. I guess it was
about a year ago. Now time I don't understand time.
Whenever that prayer for cleansing undying shown North Carolina was.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Oh yeah, that was about that was like that was
last fall.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
I want to say that was two thousand and six.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Oh no, you with those bands, you would would surprise me.
Ah and Code seven played but they played the the
heavier ep like front.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
To back division of labor, and I just missed.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
I missed this. This is what I would have rather
have seen, was like this style of Code seven.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yeah, I love the rescue that ship rocks.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
I always had if I.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
No, yeah, I have it on vinyl. I consult to
you for four hundred bucks if you want.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Don't worry. They still have copies because they were selling
it in North Carolina.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
Well that's that's like a pretty sought after record. I
ended up getting a copy from Chris Avis when people
are going through his records. So I very well that
record extra now because it was absolutely Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I like, if I had another week or two with
this record, I think it could have like snuck into
the set. I mean, there's two records for me in
particular that came out super late, that one and then
this project whatever solo black metal atmospheric dude called Panopticon.
He around, Yeah, it's an amazing record, but I was like,

(15:36):
this is seventy eight minutes worth of music. I like,
I need to soak this in. There's no way I
could put it on a list, even though other people
are obviously putting it on their.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
I liked this so much that, yeah, it bumped off
a record for my list.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
I gotta do that.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
I'm glad to do that. I'm glad to have Code
seven here. I don't know if they'll play a lot
of shows, but it'd be cool if they did.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, and the could sound spectacle. It doesn't. It doesn't
feel like a I just I think person in North.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Carolina who did all the metal corn North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Records, Oh gosh.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
It was a tribunal record he recorded it. Yeah, no,
I hope him.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, gosh, now that's gonna bother me. I'm gonna wake
up at midnight and be like, oh.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, that was the first of all. You're going to
bed at midnight? Look at you, Ray, what's that like? No,
that's that's way before my bedtime.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Well let's well, how about how about you throw it
over to somebody Joey for number ten Jeremy.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
Okay, okay, I'm sure I'm going to pick a record
that is also on someone else's list. It's the mill
Spec record. It's called Marathon. It's quite good. This band
has uh reliable is reliable, you know, like this is

(17:03):
a band that is not consistent, consistent, reliable. Yeah, Like
I want to say it's like, oh, they don't put
out a ton of stuff, but like when you actually look,
you're like, well, I guess they are pretty consistent, like
every other year and a half or something or two years,
certainly more consistent than my band.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
But they Yeah, like this record just it sounds fucking great.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
It they're so dialed in at the kind of hardcore
that they play, which is a very you know, they're
not reinventing any wheels with like the sort of melodic
hardcore that they do, but like it's a classic sound
that they have just sort of perfected and it just
it works. So when they announced this, I got excited.
The record sounds great. The songs are catchy.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
The song if I'm saying you're correctly bella Poke, which
is the uh story uh that involves Riley from Power Trip,
is very moving and uh is very effective. So yeah,
I think this record is fantastic and it hits all
the things that I like about the band. So yeah,
I wanted to throw it on the list. So there
you go, the millsback record.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Love it, love it, good record.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
All right, Sorry, I don't have much more to say,
but shout out.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
You don't need to. Well it's fun, fun story the uh,
well not even story, but so like they're playing in
Los Angeles in early January, and I was not aware
of it until the guitarist texted me and was like, hey,
I'll see you in early January. I'm like, will you
You're just out here for like work and he's like, no,
we're playing a show. And I look at the venue.

(18:40):
It's like, you know, First Street, Billiards or something in
La Yeah, And I was like, oh, the distort, you know,
record release or whatever. And he's like, yeah, but that's
like the level of promotion that we do for our shows,
like just no nos, Like that's perfect Mills Pack, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Is it Dan Dara? Was he the one I told you?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
No, it's Matt Matt Forge. Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
That's the thing. It's like, you know, this band has
historically never had social media. Uh.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
They joke that they do work against themselves when it
comes to promoting anything.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
So like totally so. But the fact that I picked
up for the first time because they did a like
eighty page zine on Shining Life Press for their last record, Yeah,
and it's like and I mean it's the nerdiest thing,
but it's so cool. But it's like, how are people
even finding out about this, like people that are like
legitimate fans of them. I was like, Oh, I miss that.

(19:37):
I'll pick it up.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
I also think it's part of like and I could
be misspoken, but like that whole like Shining Like Press,
it reminds me of like like early eighties hardcore stuff
that was like not obscure, but like you know you
gotta know, yeah, yeah, like it kind of fits with
the vibe of that whole crew.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
If they put it out wider and be like, nah, man,
that's not the vibe. We had to keep this insular.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yeah, no, spec it does?

Speaker 5 (20:07):
You know they have sort of belta if you know,
you know, kind of reputation where I think real heads
realize that they're a very fucking cool band.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh yeah, right, Well my number ten record is the
This was something I really wrestled around with just because
I found myself like not really knowing that much about
the band and then just getting into them because like, sonically,
I think this record is beautiful. It is the Temple
of Angels record still Love. And I mean I know

(20:39):
that I don't know much about the band beyond the
fact that I know they just played like you know,
Texas hardcore and punk bands and stuff like that. But
it was just random where it's like, oh, run for cover,
It's like, let's check this out. And then the more
I listened to it, the more I was just like,
can this record sound any better? Like it's just beautiful
and like they're an actual band. It feels like a

(21:00):
band as opposed to you know, sometimes, especially those like
you know, grunge shoegaze projects can kind of sound like that,
like a project, but it doesn't necessarily sound like a band,
whereas this is just like, this is a band. And
so yeah, I missed them when they like, I didn't
go to Sound Inferior this year, and I know they
played that. Yeah, so I'm excited to see them at

(21:23):
some point. And I just think the brecord is beautiful.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
And it's the same singers Crushed who just played the
Death having shows of us.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Oh that's cool.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
See.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Isn't there a band like on Relapse called Temple of
Void or something like that. That's what I thought you
were talking about, Temple of It. I'm going hungry band. No,
that's what I thought you were talking about for a minute,
and I was like, that's not how I would describe
these things.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Then it's not beautiful. It's beautiful, yeah, yeah, yeah. And
the fact to like they also i mean female lead vocals,
but then they occasionally have a song or two sung
by the guitarist who is male, and it just yeah,
it's just a cool you know, it's not even a
back and forth. It's just like literally you're singing this song,

(22:10):
which is cool. I like it when a band could
deploy more than one vocalist and it sounds like it
makes sense.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yeah, Clayton loves this record.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
I've heard it a few times through him, and it's yeah,
it's good.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
It's it's certainly good.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah. I just and I just kept like, every time
it maybe faded from my consciousness, something else brought it
back where I was just like, oh gosh, it sounds
so good.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
I have I'm gonna write it down. Yeah, I know,
we have it.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Oh yeah, you absolutely do. You have no choice but
to stock run for cover records exactly. I'll do my
number nine and I'll throw it over to one of
you find people. This one I absolutely like. I don't know,
it's just I had a tough time putting this on
here because like this is kind of not even remotely

(23:00):
like my own personality. So the Conservative Military Image Record,
the casual Violence Record. I am not affiliated with any
violent behavior. I have never been a part of any
crew in any capacity, and but this record just makes
me feel tough in the way that, like, you know,
it's like whatever when you first get into like gangster rap,

(23:21):
where you're just like yeah, this is hard, and I'm like,
but I don't know anything about this lifestyle at all.
So but and I don't necessarily like really lean OI
in regards to my own musical taste, but this record
I just fricking love and I'm going to see them
for the first time in a couple of days, and
so I think it's going to be really intimidating. It's
scary for me, but that's fine. So but I just

(23:44):
I couldn't. I could not put this record on here
because I'm just like, every time it like came on
my Best of twenty twenty three shuffle, I was just like, gosh,
this is just so good. And I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
That's just how I feel about the band Skinhead. I
love the band's Skinhead, and I'm just mentally cause playing
someone that i'm I'm not.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
You know, there's a lot.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Of those bands right now, and they're all kind of good.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
They're all really good.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Totally, and that's why it's like, and I know, just
the idea of like what I what we're all talking about,
just the like, oh my gosh, like you know, we know.
I mean, Joey of this group is like the most
aggressive and he I know he's ready to throw it
down at any point, but we're all, you know, cause
playing is violent individual.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
I made a joke about the skinhead thing with because
Martine from Terror plays the Skinhead and I was like,
I was like, you know, I love this record, Please
don't tell the singer because I don't want him to
beat me up for liking his bands.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Totally. You're like, if I get discovered that I like this,
Like is this is this going to be a bout the.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
Fact that I have the shaved head, But that's just
against the fact that I was losing my hair.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
You know. It's like I'm not actually trying to be
a skinhead, right.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
So I just had that same idea too, where it's like,
like I said, just going to watch them, and like,
I'm glad I'm watching them at the safety of a festival,
because legitimately, if it was like a two hundred cap room,
I'd be like, I don't know if I could go
to this, It's like I might be looked at differently exactly. Well,
what's what's your number nine there, Joey K. Hill? What

(25:20):
do you got?

Speaker 3 (25:21):
My number nine is Nuevo Testament to Love Lines, which
is a record, I being a complete mark for anything
AFI related. I saw Davy post about this record and
I was like, what is this. If Davy likes that,

(25:42):
I have to listen, I guess, And so I went
and listened to it and it's just so goddamn fun.
It sounds like Madonna. I was listening at the store
and Justin's was like, Oh, this sounds like expos and
I was like, that is a that is a poll
and I repect I believe from my understanding, like the

(26:03):
two guys live in Italy and the woman lives in
La or there's somehow they work that's the I don't know,
but it's great. It's just fun, like dancy eighties throwback
stuff and it's great.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
I haven't I haven't listened to. I've seen the name and.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
I know, like they just they did a remix of
a Scowl song recently and.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, they opened didn't they open for Scowl recently?

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yes? I think up in the Bay and they did
a tour with that band. Uh, I'm probably going to
butcher it. Mulcha Doma Is that it the band? I
think they're from Belarus? Okay, So anyways, Uh.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
You're right, Joey perfect pronunciation.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yeah it is. It's just so fun and it hearkens
back to time going to going to bang with Brandon
Bale and having a terrible time.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Joey and I realizing how Westens at Home was a club.
Oh my gosh, what you just said was going to
bang with Brandon, which I was like, hell, yeah, yeah,
let's call it. Let's call a club bang.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
We just called it bang. I went on or I
think was that your only time? Ray? Yeah? Ray and
I went once and it was like, well, that's not
happening again.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
We understood where we sat on the pecking order in
regards to like, oh, we really don't necessarily belong here,
Like there are other people who might attract more attention,
and we're not those people attracting attention.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Shout out Brandon Bale for attracting that attention. But yeah,
that's it's Yeah, it's a good time. I would I
enjoy it. And it's a record that I have forced
on many of people at the store.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Perfect, that's that is exactly why you own a record store,
to enforce your opinion on others.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Yeah, exactly, less social distortion, more everything else. Shout out
records Oh God.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Our friends of rockabilia are always bringing the heat in

to benefit from set heat by first of all, going

corners of the musical universe, whether it's The Grateful Dead,

(28:34):

go to rockaby Leay dot com, use the promo code
one hundred words or less order to your heart's content,
and you will be able to save money and get
rad merch. So let's go go order now.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
My number nine is the Midski record The Land is
Inhospitable and or We I believe It's called, which is
a very morissy sounding album title. Yes, this record is
I think this is her best record in a couple
I would say, And uh yeah, it's it's one of

(29:34):
Ashley's if probably it's I mean to assume it's probably
Astuly's favorite record of the year. So because of that,
it was in my periphery quite a lot. And uh yeah,
so it's quite good. I think she's a great songwriter.
And uh yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
I just so, I just I really haven't. I mean,
she put out the record Bury Me at Makeout Creek, right,
that's the last one, Yeah right, And I just I
don't know why that record sticks so out to me
as well as like this is the definitive Mysky record,
even though like this is not at.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
All, but it's just like the good record. It's certainly
a good record.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
It is Puberty too is fantastic, and then to be
the Cowboy record I liked, and then the one after that,
which is the one previous of this I didn't connect with.
So I was like, oh, maybe I'm just you know,
on to the.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Next this record, this record, I would describe it as
really it's like it's it's just gonna sound offensive. It's
really nice, but like a positive I put it on.
I'm just like, well this is nice.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, I that's.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Not offensive, Joey, I didn't know where you were going, but.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
I know, but like nicest nice as a word that
could be just like oh that's nice, you know, like
like like that's a nice I cannot believe how popular
she is, Like she in Boston twenty two thousand tickets in.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Like twenty two thousand, four.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Nights at MGM, which is fifty five hundred, and it's
sold out in minutes, Like she could have sold out
probably one or two nights at the arena here, Like
that's incredible. Wow.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah, I like I always put Mitski in the same
sentences like you know, Japanese breakfast, like just that's even
though like I don't know, it's just and that's wild though.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
And and what makes I think Mitski's so cool is
that she's just like press no, thank you, like does
just kind of like does whatever she wants and that's it.
It's great. Yeah, I fully respect it.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Uh yeah, I think that she's done a really cool
job of keeping herself and her personality close to her chest,
you know, and uh just kind of making the songs
when she wants to. And because this record is like
I think the last one was twenty twenty one, So
the fact I think the fact that this record were
twenty twenty I mean, yeah, the store was open, so yeah, yeah,

(32:06):
I think it was twenty twenty one or all hell
is the record? Yeah, So yeah, I think this record's great.
So shout out Mitski.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Uh your number eight there, you're number eight out there,
and then you could throw somebody.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
I chose the Mystic one hundreds record on a micro diet.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
I have not even listened to it.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
So Mystic one hundreds is milk music.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I was just gonna say that. I know there's a
connection to milk music, but I didn't.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Know what so from so it's milk music.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
This is a band that, from what I can gather,
is doing everything in their in their power to be
unheard because they're like they like I don't think they
have social media. I could be wrong, but they're like,
you know, kind of a mysterious band. And they put
out a record a few and like twenty it was
like twenty seventeen twenty eighteen called Mystic one hundreds, which

(33:02):
I loved, and then they decided like, fuck it, I
guess we'll just change our name to that, and it's
in like the same logo.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
And I had kind of forgot that this record came
out this year because when I saw go for pre order,
it was extremely expensive, like I think it was like
forty five bucks or something, and I was like, maybe
I'll wait until i've come across that used and was
just at in DC. We there's a great record store

(33:33):
called Joint Custody, and I went in there and they
had it, and I said, oh, I forgot, this is
perfect and I bought it and it has not left
my turntable and it's fucking awesome. It's I mean, it's
great background doing stuff music because the songs are very jammy,

(33:53):
which normally I would be allergic to, but for this record,
I think it works really well. So yeah, it's like,
you know, it's psychedelic, it's very you know, garagey in
a lot of ways, but uh, weird, it's weirdo music.
It's certainly anti social music. So I don't know, but
the record's really cool, has some great songs on it,

(34:15):
So yeah, I Misstic one hundreds on a micro diet.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
You could see you could see that being played in
the background of a lot of different movies and or
movie trailers like The Black Angels Are Slash were.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
Yeah, it's yeah, I don't know, I just dig what
they do. It's it's it's definitely super cool. So yeah,
now am I throwing it's one of you?

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Ray? What is your number eight?

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (34:43):
My number eight record is a record that I know
all of us on this call have enjoyed in some capacity.
It is the Spiritual Cramp Record, the self titled Spiritual
Cramp Record. They obviously are like completely grow into who
they are by releasing a bunch of EPs and demos

(35:04):
and single songs and whatever the hell else they wanted
to is They were, you know, just touring and doing
a lot of cool stuff. But I mean, anybody that's
seen the band, anybody that like enjoys anything from the
early two thousands would like this. Anybody that likes music
in twenty twenty three would like this as well. It's
just really fun, catchy rock music. I mean that what

(35:27):
is that Herbert Holiday song? Like just two minutes of
just Perfection, Chef's Kiss, and yeah, watching them grow as
they have over the past whatever five or six years.
I mean obviously there was no watching them grow during
COVID Live, but just hearing the different evolutions where it's like,
oh yeah, like it's cool that you can play with

(35:48):
American Nightmare and be like the total weird band. But
then still it totally makes sense, and so yeah, I'm
very interested to see how they will progress and who
they'll tour with and just kind of where they'll go
from here. So love the record, same, yeah, perfect Yeah.
I figured I figured I made strike first Blood on

(36:10):
that one. Joey, what's your number eighth?

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Now? My number eight? Going back to what we were
talking about before with conservative military image adjacent home Front
Games of Power. It's so good.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
They It's funny. I did not know where they are from.
They're from Canada and it.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Sounds the middle the middle of Canada. Where from Edmonton?

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Oh boy?

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (36:45):
And it's it was a record I first heard and
I was like, I don't know what I think about this,
and I kind of kept listening to it and I
realized it sounds like the first Blitz record. Meets the
second Blitz Blitz record and it's great. It's just absolutely rules.
I saw him a few months ago and they completely
pull it off and it's so good. And I know
they're playing l A soon and they are not to

(37:08):
be missed. I think I think the future for them
is looking quite bright. Yeah, it's great. It's just a
fun like punk record with a lot of synth in it.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
And yeah, I keep meaning to pick it up every
time I met a record story then I walk out
and I go, fuck, I didn't buy it.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
But they're not. They're not. I mean, I mean, granted aesthetically,
they definitely well.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
I mean, like the guy from The Chisel sings on
a song like they're they're playing with the Chisel in
New York, like they're they're like in that world. But
they're like they're like, it's like the second Blitz record.
It's just you know, I wouldn't have pulled that comparison,
but that's it sounds like the first Blitz record meats
the second Blitz record, right right. It's great. Yeah on

(37:58):
front good times thought it my number seven, incendiary change
the way you think about pain, talk about consistent, Holy Toledo,
every record rules, and I feel like they just get better.
Is that weird that like it's so good, like there's

(38:23):
hardcorees become a thing where a lot, like my attention
is not as strong, I guess, Like I listen to record,
I'm like I either am like nope or like oh
that's good, but it's not for me. And this is
you can make up your mind very quickly. Yes, and
this is kind of like the hardcore record of twenty
twenty three for me, Like I keep going back to it.

(38:46):
It's great, it's heavy, you know, it sounds like razing
this machine kind of.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
They can write fun parts. They write really really fun parts.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Yes, yeah, And I think his vocals are awesome. Uh,
I love it. I love this band. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
I feel like they've leaned more like like vocally, have
leaned more and more into just accepting the rage against the.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Machine, Like he does not yell as much. There's all
and there's a lot more like talking adjacent parts.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
Yeah, Yeah. I think they're one of the best shout
and I like that they're just like a total this
weekend warrior, like yeah, we're adults, but we're gonna go
play like some really cool shows and then just go
back to work on Monday.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
They basically they basically get like a laundry list of like, oh,
this is what we can do this year. Hmmm, we
got ten shows in us, what do we do? Let's
do this, this, this, this.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
And have their pick of what they want to do.
And it's that's awesome.

Speaker 5 (39:47):
Yep tooche barks up their tree. Every single time, it's
the same. It's the same message every time. We say, hey,
just so we asked, so we know that we did
ask you're available.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
We're just we're just covered our bases here, okay, Like,
can you guys do four dates? No?

Speaker 5 (40:07):
Oh no, we we ask way more than We're like, hey,
are you guys down to do six weeks with us?

Speaker 4 (40:11):
And they're just like, ah, but.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Like you mean you mean the Northeast for three dates? Yeah,
we could do that.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
We can do Long Island.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Totally. We headline right, Yeah, you guys cool direct support
because it's not gonna go well for you.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yeah, yep, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
It's a good record. Uh right, your number my seven.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yes, my number seven. It spins off of your home
front pick. That is my seventh record of the year
at the Games of Power record the song over time,
like every single time I listened to it, I'm just like,
how is this we ass like, you know, seventy seven

(41:03):
style punk band mixed with depesch mode, like on the
surface should be a experiment that never gets launched into
the wild, but it did and it's awesome and I
cannot wait to see them to like especially I know,
like once they did that like Northeast Run, and I
know they opened for like Alkali Trio and stuff like that.
They've just done so much cool stuff. But like every

(41:25):
time they play, you know whatever, a random venue that
like has two hundred people, and it just seems like
so much not only fun, but just like such a
wild experience where you're like, oh yeah this again there
should make sense on the surface, but it absolutely does.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
It Like the Boston show was this band was with
this band Savage Heads who Rip, and there's like a
straight up like punk band and it's and they just
like come in they you know, we seem setting up
there like all their keyboards and it people lost their minds,
like it was so fun.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Yeah, yeah, well I love that record. Everybody should check
it out, even though even if you might not if
you're like oh, like a punk Depeche Mode. I don't
know that sounds weird or like, you just have to
check it out. It's really really good.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
I prefer that thee the Mode adjacent songs than like
the more punk songs.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
I would agree they should lean more into that. I
and and that's and that's the thing that makes them
cool is because they could really go any direction with
that style and still be rooted in all of that,
where they're, yeah, we're always gonna have keyboards, We're not
gonna lose that.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
He's like, I didn't realize it's the keyboard player and
the singer are like the two guys behind the band, Like.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Oh oh yeah, yeah, like they're the main Yeah yeah,
everybody else just kind.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Of yeah because I think like the first ep, like
the picture might be just the two of them, or
have seen pictures where it's it's just them and the
key Yeah you see them soon, ray Yeah, they just
watch the keyboard Player.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
He love it.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Quentin Tarantino meets Arnold Schwarzenegger. Okay, yeah, just the best
he rules, love it.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Love it. What is your number seven, Jeremy?

Speaker 5 (43:12):
Uh my number seven. I apologize for listeners if they
hear weird noises. My dog is demanding that she is
on my lap. Absolutely as as dogs, he's a dog
friendly podcast.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
I would say dog forward podcast. We welcome them, honest
guests that Mike.

Speaker 5 (43:35):
My number seven is the super Violet record called Infinite Spring.
I Love the Sidekicks, The Sidekicks Broke Up. This is
the singer of the Sidekicks. His name is Steve did
this record and I interviewed him around the time of
the release, and I come to find out that some

(43:56):
of the songs were maybe gonna be Sidekick songs, and
you can kind of feel that, and it's kind of
one of the situations where it's like, Hey, if I
can't get a Sidekicks record, and I get this, it'll
make do So.

Speaker 4 (44:12):
Yeah, it's a I just yeah.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
I love his voice, I love his charm, and I
think he's a brilliant songwriter. So I wanted to give
that a shout. Came out on lame O Records, and
uh yeah, so super Violet, Infinite Spring.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Your love of the Sidekicks made me go back and
listen to the Sidekicks, yeah, and realize how good they
they are, I guess, and like over the past few
years and yeah, this record's great. This is Yeah, it's
really good.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
I can pare in my head, I like draw a
line between him and John K. Samson where it's like
like obviously different sounding humans like but like operate on
the same sort of wavelength where it's like they really
pay attention to their lyrical craft. And then obviously how
it combines with music, which I know sounds like the

(45:04):
most basic description, but it's like there's such attention that's
paid to it that yeah, it just it reaps its rewards.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
In this song that's a single.

Speaker 5 (45:13):
I don't know if you guys caught how he shouts
out Matt McGreevy and Felicia. Oh, he says that I
did not like he said like like and it's and
it's like this was clearly going to be a sidekick
song because he's talking about writing their next record, which
is I love that So that is adorable.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Shout out to Epitaph fam you know, yeah, uh cool?

Speaker 4 (45:37):
Do I do my number six? My number six is
the national laugh track. Uh.

Speaker 5 (45:47):
They put out two records this year. Spoiler alert, I
might be talking about another record. I don't know if
that's breaking rules, but that's just fucking where we are.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
That's okay.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
Yeah, I think that.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
It's got some fucking great songs on it. The artwork
for both records not my favorite, and the fact that
they just doubled down and used it twice shocking, very confusing,
very shocking.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
I kind of like the second artwork more. I think,
I don't know, they're.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Both there's a situation, but yeah, I think that there's
a lot of I think Joey and I, you and
I were just recently talking about you were saying you
like this one more.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
I do like this one more.

Speaker 5 (46:34):
I still lean with the other one a little bit more,
but this one has some very very good songs on it.
So yeah, I don't know. I love the National. Is
that any surprise?

Speaker 3 (46:47):
This is a weird now a weird year because spoiler alert,
neither have made my list, and I you know, if
you would have told me the National releasing two records
and neither would make my list, I would have been shocked.
And I I do like that, like they're good, But.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
I don't know, Joey, I'm with you spoiler alert as well.
No National records made my top ten, and like I was, legitimately,
I mean There's many reasons I was looking forward to
this conversation, but one of them was to be like,
how where is the national landing for US in twenty
twenty three, And like, I like the records, but it
definitely is just like, it doesn't resonate. It didn't resonate

(47:26):
with me as much as I wanted it to.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
Be my forty year old, bald white guy to throw
both of them on my list.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
It reminds me back to the year that Manchester did
Hope and Cope, where it's like I like both, but
if you were to they were to combine it, I
probably would have loved it, you know, like yeah, and
like with this, like I think we talked about Jeremy, Like,
if they took the best songs from both of these records,
it one hundred percent would have made my list totally. Yeah, yeah,

(47:56):
because there are great songs.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
I will I mean, I should save it. I'll save
this comment for when I talk about the next one.
But yeah, in comparison to the you guys not having
them on the list, I mean, there's a balance of
Asian record that came out this year that I am
allergic to, not at all.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
I dude, it is such a heartbreaking. I agree. I
was like I listened to it like legitimately three times
all the way through to be like, I know at
one point this is gonna grab me, and I'm like,
damn it, like nothing, nothing doesn't.

Speaker 5 (48:31):
It breaks my heart that it's the first balance of
bashion record ever that I don't I don't even own.
I was like, I'm not I'm not even gonna buy it,
like because it's just gonna sit on my shelf and
not get any play. And yeah, I mean even the
one before it had a couple songs that you know,
like they became kind of I hate to say it,
but kind of like a Wheezer where it's like you

(48:52):
can expect two good songs at this point there.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
They're singles that they always put out, I feel like,
are always great. Yeah, and then you listen to the
record and it's like.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
You're like, is this hash pipe? Is this?

Speaker 5 (49:06):
Is this the one that we know is the soundtrack
that they put out a couple of years ago.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
So good.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
He is unbelievably good and mean.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
But you have some re recorded songs on it, right.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
Yeah, it has two rerecorded songs. But like, even aside
from that.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
Do that record so good, it's really good.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
It's amazing.

Speaker 5 (49:24):
Yeah, and and uh it just makes you say, why
couldn't you just do this?

Speaker 1 (49:29):
What do you do you need to Yeah? Do you
need to work with other source material like to you
know kind of work around like is this what you're
gonna do now? Because that's you know, just do that. Yeah,
just put on another soundtrack totally.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
Yeah. So yeah, it's it's look.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
I think what it comes down to is we cannot
expect everybody to have a you know, at some point,
your favorite artists are gonna start making stuff that you
don't quite connect with, but you can always cherish, which
what came before.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
True music is a gift that keeps on giving.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
Or they can just be like Rileer Crowley and breakup
and just beleeve flawless, you know, yeah, yeah, like Moneymaker, right, Jeremy.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
No comment? All right, ruh, Joey. What is your number? Seven?

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Uh? Number six?

Speaker 4 (50:21):
Six?

Speaker 3 (50:21):
I'm sorry? My number six is a band called r
VG and the record is called Brainworms. I had never
heard of this band. I still do not know a
lot about this band. I was listening to the new
Alex Lahy, which is good, but didn't make my list
and it ended and it just does like you know,

(50:43):
Spotify radio or whatever, and it played this band and
I believe the song is called Midnight Sun. Yes, Midnight
Sun comes up on the radio and I was like,
what in the hell is this there Australia. My list
would not be a list if it did not have
a band from Australia that will never play the States

(51:05):
and I'll never know any anything about him.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
This was Doug, who works at the store, says the
music sounds like the Smiths. I don't listen to the
Smiths enough to know if that's real, but it's like
jingly kind of indie rock stuff I posted a while
ago because the singer has such a distinct voice, but
it reminds me of something, and so I post on Instagram,

(51:31):
listen to this band and tell me who the singer
sounds like. And I got like ten different answers, so
any of them the same A couple. The most common
one was Lord Jane Grace and I can kind hear
that it's not as like rough, but you know, but

(51:53):
it's I don't know, it's there, and I keep going
back to it, and it honestly pushed the Alex Lay
record off the list, and yeah, and it's shockingly I
think they do really well in the UK and well
in Australia and will never come to the States and
I'll never see them, But I would this record like
blew me Away? And you know there. I like all

(52:14):
the records on my list and there I listened to
them a lot, but this is the one I tend
to go back to the most. Yeah, it's really good.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Thanks, thanks Spotify. It looks like the.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
Algorithm just hit you hit your female vocals from Australia. Joey,
this is for you.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Let's shove it down his windpipe. Yeah, he can't take
enough of this.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
And I, uh yeah, r VG. They have a bunch
of other records like to the records that were are good.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
But who put it? Who put it out?

Speaker 3 (52:46):
I don't know the great great question. Why do that
record label? Why do that research? Right?

Speaker 1 (52:53):
No?

Speaker 3 (52:53):
No, no, I think actually the label is called Fire
and it has American distribute because I ordered it. Okay,
but I still don't think they'll ever play here, but
I hope they do.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
All right, you're just so pessimistic about your dreams. Just
never happened.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Because DMAs, who are like the greatest Australian band and
you know, play like O two Arena in or like
one of the smaller like in the UK and headline
festivals in Australia, played here and it went so bad
that they canceled half the shows. I saw them at
south By Southwest at one in the morning and there

(53:32):
was twenty people watching. And they have never come back.
They've put out four records since then. So I just
I'm of the of the assumption that unless your middle
kids can get a tour Jimmy World, most of I
just don't want to come here. Although I did see
Alex play here this year and it was really good.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Wait wait, wait, you got money burning a hole in
your pocket this holiday season after you've like bought all
your gifts and you're like, or maybe you get some gifts.
Go to evilgreed dot net. They are an amazing web
store solution for bands and record labels to sell their stuff.
But they act like a record label because they have
a very curated approach to the bands and labels they
work with to send stuff all over the world. But

(54:13):
here is the kicker. They want you to save money
by using this promo code one hundred words gets you
ten percent off of your entire order, and if you
go there now you're going to find amazing merch from
bands like No Pressure, Holder, Brutus, Gulch, High Viz Nails.
The list could go on, but like I said, they

(54:34):
have a very specific point of view if you are
in the heavy slash artistic side of things, mostly in
the DIY world. That's what we're talking about. They are
an amazing company. I love supporting them and I feel
very grateful that they support me and this show. They
find value in the conversations we have here. So go
to Evilgreed dot Net. They ship worldwide. Don't be scared

(54:56):
off by the fact that they're located in Berlin, Germany.
The shipping rates for us here in America are very advantageous.
So hop on there. Go to Evilgreed dot Net, use
the promo code one hundred words, ten percent off your
entire order, and buy a lot of merch.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
Go for it.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
My number six record is the Soup Chan Stevens record.
Talk about you know, forty year old white guys like
here we go, let's let's talk about soup. Jan Stevens
now that I mean the record's called Javelin I. Yeah,
I just adore him and what he does. Like once,
I mean, Carrion Loll is obviously an Alzheimer record for
most people and just absolutely heartbreaking. This record is definitely

(55:33):
less sad, but it still weighs a lot. Yeah, I
mean it, Like I said, it doesn't weigh as maybe
much as Carrion Loll, but it's still it still hits
and I definitely found myself listening to it less than
Carrion Loll and his other stuff, but it didn't it

(55:54):
didn't lessen the impact for me personally. And yeah, I
just love like similar to other artists that we were
talking about, where it's just the idea where it's like yeah,
like you know, like maybe I'll do one interview maybe,
like just you know, it's like, yeah, I'm still work
with Asthmetic Kittie, Like I'll just do everything, and it's like, oh, yeah,
you know, I'll do a soundtrack whenever I feel like
it just like exists in his own universe and it's

(56:15):
really cool and he'll always bump people out really badly
with some of his lyrics and so I'm a big
fan of that.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
I'm gonna not talk about this right now. You know
it's fun.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (56:26):
I keep wanting to buy this on vinyl, But man,
is the artwork tough for me.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
It's you know it really yeah, it fucking bad. Yeah,
it's I mean, it's yeah. I don't disagree. I mean obviously,
especially from the Karen Lowell where it's just like, you know,
really like timeless picture. It's just like, oh, you know,
connects it back to the record, and this just looks like,
you know, a kid's portrait. It's like that they just
threw together.

Speaker 5 (56:55):
It's use let's use bubblegum to write the word javelin.

Speaker 4 (57:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
I think he's a brilliant songwriter. I haven't spent time
with the record. I know I need to. It's been
like on my list of things to do. I listened
to this single, which I also respect anyone who's just
like so willing to put themselves out there with the
song called will Anybody Ever Love Me? Yeah, but you know,
this man has never not worn his heart on his sleeve,

(57:25):
which I think is something that I respect a lot
about him.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
So yeah, yep, very very consistent. Absolutely my number five
record will transition to a record that Jeremy spoke about
before the Millspeck record marathon when they released the single
speaking of songs that just like completely landed with me,
the song that Days Don't End. I think it's like

(57:50):
five or six on the record. Like when they just
had the single of that, I'd literally was just be like, yeah,
just ten times in a row, no problem. It's just
a beautiful, full, you know, DC hardcore inspired thing. Yeah,
I love I love this band so much, and they
when they I've only seen them once when they played

(58:10):
with well, actually I think you and I were both
at the show when they played with Military Gun in
La at the Echo Pleu I want to say or echo.
It was funny because they were like self described not good,
like they just weren't on point and it. But still
even them being like quote unquote bad, I was still like, oh,

(58:33):
this is like good, Like yeah, maybe they're not like
the top of their game or what they want to be,
but it's still good. And so I feel like even
if you're getting like a I mean, this is, in
my opinion, not an average mill Spack record, but I
think even if you're getting an average Mills Speck record,
it's better than most bands trying to do this style.
So yeah, love love this record.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
Am I is my brain broken? Did they play?

Speaker 3 (58:55):
They played? They?

Speaker 4 (58:56):
Because also someone that saw them before that with praise
in la Oh yeah I didn't.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
I didn't see them with that. But yeah, I don't
think yeah they I think they just did like three
or four dates or maybe two dates. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
Unusual against my brain doesn't work anymore. It's okay.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
I just remember because I was like, I was like, oh,
I thought you guys were pretty good to the guitarist Matt,
and Matt was like, oh no, we were terrible, dude,
Like he just I mean, I know every band member
is going to think that about their set, but he
was like no, he specifically cited. He was like, oh
yeah we didn't practice. We did this, we did that.
I was like, oh, I thought it was like okay,
but whatever.

Speaker 4 (59:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Number five to you, Jeremy, what is your number five?

Speaker 5 (59:38):
My number five? This is the one that I don't
have on vinyl yet just came out. But it's fucking great,
which is the Full of Hell nothing record.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Dude, love it. It's really so good.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
I applaud Full of Hell for continuing to do these
collab Records. I think they're an incredibly interesting band, and
I think that they do a great job of being
able to gel with whoever they collab with to where
their identity still peaks through no matter who they're working with.

(01:00:14):
And I think this, above any of their other collabs,
is just a perfect representation of like what both bands
do so well. So yeah, I think it's just it's
hyper aggressive but also hyper beautiful, So good work to both.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Talk it and not to interrupt your trade of thought.
But like the antithesis of the soush Jan Stevens art,
Like you look at this record cover and you're just like,
it's beautiful. It's like clean, clean, yeah, just gorgeous, easy, Yeah,
it's fucking good.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
Did you order it? Has your guy's your copy come?

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
My copy is not a right. I got the shipping
notification that it came because I heard it from rough
Trade and they're yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
Was about to do so.

Speaker 5 (01:00:57):
On the drive to uh DO podcast that was like,
do I need to check my email that I did
in fact order this? Like I hope I didn't think
I ordered it and I didn't, and it just hasn't
arrived yet.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
The store hasn't gotten copy or copies yet either. So
it's okay, okay, I have never heard full of hell Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
I think you would like I think you would like them.
They're a band.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
I look at their catalog and I'm like, not too much.
They don't even have to I mean too much, too
much work.

Speaker 5 (01:01:31):
They have a lot of collab stuff, but like when
it comes to like their specific records, there was.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
Only a yeah, there's a handful, but I just see
the I see the name, and I'm like, that's too
much stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:01:42):
Trumpeting Ecstasy, which is which has the best album covers?

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
Yes, so Mark.

Speaker 5 (01:01:47):
McCoy, he's done the majority of their stuff, but like
the Trumpeting Ecstasy record, fucking rips and the.

Speaker 4 (01:01:55):
Album the best album cover. Yeah, it's fucking yeah so good.
So yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
Definitely definitely a record Joey that you play to get
people out of your store.

Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
Oh yeah, just oh good.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
YEA perfect in the night music where it's like, oh this,
this person's lingering too long. Looking at the Olivia Rodriga record.

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
It's like the punks would come to Bionic right before
clothes and I just put on Mineral and turn it
out really loud.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Absolutely here we go out.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
It was dead children. Uh at backside?

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Well, will it Tip's finest yep?

Speaker 4 (01:02:33):
Uh word.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
My number five? Ye, my number five is Jasonisball in
the four hundred unit weather Veins.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Dude love to This record was on my like rotation
it's but yeah, it didn't make my list.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
It's so good And I've been a fan of his
for a while. Like the Nashville Sound was kind of
the first one that I was like, oh, this is
country I do like. But its like he kind of
is in the same boat as like, you know, the
Sturgel Simpsons and the Casey Musgraves, but they're like, yeah,
we're a country but like, don't be a shithead. If

(01:03:11):
you're a shithead, don't listen to my music. And I
love that about him that people will be like, how
dare you have a song about like guns? And He's like, Okay,
don't come to my shows or listen to me. I
don't care. It's like you know, and I like, I
just I respect that about it. But this record is great.
It's sad, it's fun, like it kind of you kind

(01:03:32):
of go through all the emotions while listening to it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
Did you watch the HBO sing on him?

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
The Music Box funny. The only part I saw was
like towards it was him talking about getting sober and
like showing footage of I think it was a drive
by trucker show in the garage. It was like his
last show with them. It was like I think a
benefit or something, and just like he was like, look

(01:03:58):
how bad I look and like and it was like
he was a mess. Yeah, So I need to go
back and watch the whole thing because he seems like
a really interesting person and I've never seen him. I
really want to because I've I've heard he's great, yeah,
but I've never I've.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
Never seen him either. Every interview that he does is
totally like you. You, even if you hate his music,
you walk away being like, Damn, this dude's cool. I
want to hang out.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
I mean, I granted I haven't seen Kills of the
Far Moon yet, but like, isn't that like that's cool.

Speaker 5 (01:04:31):
He's really good in it too, so I heard he
had to fucking I mean, he has scenes where he's
literally it's just Leo Leo de Niro in him and
he's handling his own geeze, dude, like talk about a
talking about room you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Don't belong in?

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Hey, here's some fire, just go jump in that real quick. Yeah,
but no, this is it's this is kind of one
of those like granted, like I said, I only listened
to records at the store really and it's like I
remember they brought myself in the morning. It's like the
perfect like morning record where I can just you know,
it's long, so I can do a bunch of stuff
and just yeah, it's great. I really enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
It's also I would I would say it's a good
starting off point for people who might just be like,
is a curious where it's like, oh, yeah, you can
probably dive in here and then pay attention to his
whole catalog.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Because it's funny. It's like it's pretty country. Yeah, but
it's also like not at the same time, it's like
that doesn't make any sense, but it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Yeah, it's it's I mean, obviously lu Sero and them
would have made perfect sense together touring in two thousand
and seven around you know that much Lonesome Wester.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Or totally yeah, totally yeah, yeah, great record my number four,
We're a number four, Yeah, you got it. Spiritual cramp,
which which has been discussed, but it's it's just so fun.
It's so freaking good kind of to your point with

(01:05:59):
like the rerecor Nightmare Show. I saw them about a
month ago with Blacklisted and Unbroken in Philadelphia and there
was like they just really you know, they commanded the
room and do a bunch of hardcore kids. And I
feel like when a band that's the weird band on
the show can do that to hardcore kids, like they're
doing something right. Yeah. I'm excited to see where they go.

(01:06:23):
I think that that military on tours pretty perfect for them,
but I feel like they can do like they're one
of those bands that can tour with anyone. M Yeah,
I don't know what else to say. It's already been said,
and I feel like we'll hear about it in a
minute or something.

Speaker 4 (01:06:40):
I hear about it again.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
But yeah, spiritual camp, good times.

Speaker 5 (01:06:47):
Uh, Jeremy, my number four is the national the first
two pages of the Franks? Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
Is it the first two pages of the last two pages?

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
These first two I think it's first two.

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:05):
I think Side A is fucking so good on this record.

Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:07:12):
The only song on this record that I really don't
like is uh And this is not me trying to
be that guy is the Taylor Swift song song.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
For me, it's it's the vocal harmony that she chooses
to use, which to me sounds very Christmas y. It
sounds like it's like very kind of Christmas carollly to me.
But aside from that, I think the record is great.
I love yeah new order T shirt is so good.
Uh yeah, these two records came out. I'm happy these

(01:07:48):
two records exist because Matt has historically been one of
my favorite vocalists, one of my favorite writers.

Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
So at a time when we're writing a new.

Speaker 5 (01:07:58):
Record, it's like nice to have this as something to
throw on to be like, I don't know, influenced by
or excited to hear new words from him, to sort
of inspire me to want to write, because he's someone
that I always go back to to search for inspiration.
So yeah, I do like this record a lot, and
it actually took me. I went and saw them in

(01:08:20):
Santa Barbara off this record and no, wait, no, was
it the Greek I'm getting in the shows mixed up
Santa Barbara's posted service. Yeah, I saw them at the
Greek on this record, and hearing the last song off
this album live really really did it for me where
I was like, Okay, this song is.

Speaker 4 (01:08:39):
Like an actual, beautiful, beautiful piece of work. So so yeah,
there you go. I've now had an opportunity to talk
about two national records.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
I also feel like they're with the last few records.
Live is where those songs translate the best. I think,
like sleep Well Beast to Me is still like I
listened to it recorded and I'm just like it's fine,
and then you hear those songs live and it's like, oh,
these are great totally, And I have not seen them

(01:09:13):
off of these yet around No, I don't. I didn't.
Why did I I didn't see them. I haven't seen
them at all. But they haven't played Boston whatever. They
did a festival that I didn't go to, but I,
you know, so I would be excited to see these
songs live.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
I went to. I went to that show that that
you went to Jeremy at the Greek, and I definitely
I found myself liking those songs more live, whereas the
record it just felt like it felt like there was
a lot of effort that I needed to put forth
that typically national records are pretty effortless for me to
get into where like I just didn't know how to

(01:09:57):
like put those things together. And so that's kind of
what made me not admire the records as much as
I had in the past. But then live I was like, oh,
like okay, cool, Like they're still good obviously.

Speaker 5 (01:10:07):
Yeah, but and you know, it's like, you know, like
anything else where, even a you know, like a not
a not favorite Converge record or not favorite Cohen Brothers movie,
it's still a pretty good fucking record.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:10:22):
So you know, as much as these might not be
their best albums, they're still pretty listenable.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
We still we still should be thankful that this exists
and we still have these records.

Speaker 4 (01:10:33):
Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
Did either of you get the test press that was
they were selling that? No, No, I'll sell your mind
for five thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
You got one.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
I did. A guy was at front of mine.

Speaker 4 (01:10:49):
Oh you tried to help me get you tried I.

Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
Try to find you.

Speaker 4 (01:10:51):
Yeah, yeah, and I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:54):
But yeah, but I'll sell to you for five thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Uh, that's pretty good. Maybe Jared, let's split it. Let's
split it, and that we could share a custody.

Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
I'll counter with six thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
Oh I won't take more.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
Damn got blown out seven.

Speaker 4 (01:11:15):
Cool.

Speaker 5 (01:11:16):
I'm so bad at this and I'm passing this to.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
It's like I'm not I'm doing number four myself. So
I have the This is a one man black metal project.
I mean that I would say there, I would classify
more of.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
Metals another one metal, one man black metal project besides Panopticon.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Yeah, so this is the records called two. The artist's
name is Black Braid, and he is, yeah, an indigenous
black metal dude. And the record fricking smokes. It is
so good. It like reminds me like I mean the
Deep Cut for or you Joey in regards to working

(01:12:02):
at Bionic when we all get obsessed with that dark
Hane Rusted Angel record, we're like d and this sounds
like this sounds like Left four Dead except the metal band. Anyways,
So this record like just flawlessly recorded, you know, sing
songs about you know, like indigenous rights issues, like talking

(01:12:22):
about you know, Jeremy, I know you were a huge
fan of the you know, How to Blow Up a
Pipeline film, Like there's songs about that. I mean not
the film in particular, but just like that you know,
land usage rights and everything like that, and he unlike
a lot of like black metal projects that just only
exist in a person's head and then maybe obviously get
out to a record, he's actually like touring with it

(01:12:45):
and like playing shows, and I legitimately, even though I
know that the show might not smell very good if
I were to attend it, it would still be really
really good from a musical perspective. So yeah, Black Braid.
The record is called two. I don't know if I
realized it was, and it's obviously his second record.

Speaker 4 (01:13:01):
I didn't know it was in person. I thought it
was like a couple of people interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
He yeah, I mean it's his like and the fact
that and of course I love this because people obviously
in the metal community are exactly like the hardcore community
where they start calling people industry plants, and so he
has been defined as an industry plant as well, where
it's like, oh, you're just like some person that's like,
you know, trying to co op the idea of like,

(01:13:26):
you know, being a native American and playing black metals.

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
Anytime a band gets like a lot of hype pretty quick,
that's that's the new thing that gets thrown around.

Speaker 4 (01:13:34):
My favorite thing is just the idea of like a
black metal industry plant, where it's just.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
Like, yeah, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 5 (01:13:40):
Industry's going to spend a lot of money to sell
fifteen thousand records totally.

Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
And it's like he self releases everything too, and it's
like yeah, I mean yeah, of course, like he sells
out of like two or three thousand units on vinyl
immediately or whatever. But yeah, there's a faster path to
being an industry plant if you play different style of music.

Speaker 4 (01:13:58):
I don't know if you know that so.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
Huge on TikTok that's hey, if you don't have a
hit on TikTok, what's the point?

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
What's the point?

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
Right? Are you being serious that it's huge on TikTok?

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
Really making a joke? I can't imagine that's.

Speaker 1 (01:14:14):
I was going to say. I was like wait, I
was like yeah, yeah, I was. I was like, well, damn,
I mean stranger things have happened. I mean obviously we
see songs where it's like oh yeah, So anyways, I
was like, wow, you're you're breaking news on here. I
will do my number three record.

Speaker 4 (01:14:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
This record surprised me at how long it stuck around
for me where I just continue to revisit it and
it fills the HUM shaped hole in my heart where
you know, of course I would like another HUM record
every year, but we're not going to get that. Uh.
This is the narrow head record Moments of Clarity, and
I loved it. I just loved it and like came

(01:14:54):
out in like January or February. Kept listening to it.
I thought it was like, I don't know, like there's
a certain amount of sloppiness involved with this band, but
it is charming and I saw them live a couple
of times. I saw them over in the UK and
they were awesome, and I just really enjoy what this

(01:15:15):
band does. And they're like low key really popular, like
people like them and talk about them, but I definitely
don't think as many people speak highly about them in
the way where it's just like, oh dude, they can
like you know, sell three hundred tickets in most major
markets or whatever. So anyways, they're our head record, blow
me Away, and I love it awesome.

Speaker 5 (01:15:36):
Yeah, I feel like I just sadly forgot about this record.
I've liked what they've done in the past. I think
they're really good at harnessing sort of this smashing pumpkins
energy and guitar tones, which is a very difficult guitar
tone to try to emulate. So but yeah, I need
to actually revisit this record because it got lost on

(01:15:58):
me sadly.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
Yeah, now because it came out earlier in the year.

Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
Yeah, and I have not heard it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
It's okay, Joey Toss. It is a perfect record store record.
Like you, it's long enough where it's like very you know,
Jason isbell adjacent and not sonically.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
But this was a single LP though, right, and then
the last one was a double LP. Yes, yes, is
it listenable like it's the most wonderful time of year?

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Not you probably would have a tougher time playing six
hours of it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
But maybe let's let's get get our facts right, right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
Right right about one hundred maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:16:34):
Sometimes we listened to that song, we did the math.
That's good.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
I'm glad.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
I'm glad.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
I mean that time well spent.

Speaker 5 (01:16:39):
As far as we just mentioned those that the album
cover for this looks like it would have come out
on Victory Records or Revelation Records in like nineteen ninety seven.

Speaker 1 (01:16:50):
Uh, yes, we can, we can talk about that, like
or it could have come out on uh like like
caw Field Records, you know, like it could have been
released alongside a mineral record, Like it just jumps out like.

Speaker 5 (01:17:04):
It looks like it could be like a game phase record.
That's where I'm going with this.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
It's it's oh yeah, I'm looking at you can see
like the you can see like the marker lines or
the yeah it also yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:17:18):
Actually you know what now that I'm thinking about it,
you know what, it kind of looks a lot like
it looks like the original artwork for that first movie
life record.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
Oh yeah, go go time, right, Yeah, it's kind of guy,
thank thank god, we all remember.

Speaker 4 (01:17:33):
Yeah, I'm gonna look at that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
Early photoshop usage where it's like, Okay, here's the blue,
here's the whites, here's the like street sign.

Speaker 4 (01:17:41):
Yeah yeah, I know exactly what carry him at vein
to me? All right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
Yeah, well that's that's my number three record.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
Joey.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
I'm gonna throw it over to you for your third
all right.

Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
Yeah, hopefully we don't all have to talk about this
at the same time. I know it's gonna be on
all the list, uh.

Speaker 4 (01:18:00):
My number three record, should I gotta take a pe break.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
I think, thank thank god, someone has the courage to
put the Blank record on their list.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
Clearly, I was gonna listen to it a lot because
Tom is back, and you know what it rules. It's
so good. It's everything I wanted.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
I mean, it's it's everything that the last record was not, obviously,
which you know, I mean, I guess that's not a
high bark clear, but it like it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:33):
You mean, a highly nominated popular album that MAT's Keeba
was a part of.

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
Nine with nine of California.

Speaker 4 (01:18:42):
There's there's a second one with Matt's Keep nine. Yeah,
neither California was very successful, right.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
Yeah, there's a couple, there's two good songs off that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (01:18:56):
This is really good, uh like back like I've Come
to Love Neighborhoods, which was Tom Delong's first record. Back. Oh,
that's like a top three I see your face, right,
that's like a top three blank record. Now, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
Top three top three.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
Oh yeah. And but you listen to it and you
can tell how like disjointed and they're not friends, and
I think that's what kind of almost helps it in
a way. But this one is like brings back to like,
I mean, it doesn't sound like dude Ranch, but like
you can tell that they're having fun with it. And
when I saw them, Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:19:37):
How much do you believe they wrote any of these songs?

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
Well, I know they're songwriters on a lot of them.

Speaker 4 (01:19:43):
I just haven't imagine this is this is like.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
No, A lot of the people, a lot of the
people on it, Like the songwriters are people in Travis's
like world. And you know, I don't care. Just give
me good Blink songs. That's all I want. I want
good Blink songs. I want to see them, and I
want to have Tom's pre recorded guitar tracks going through

(01:20:08):
and I want it to sound like he's trying to sing.
And we got it. We got it, guys, we did it.
I bought tickets to see I bought I got pit
tickets for Fenway next year. Let's go. I can't wait.
I love Blink. I've loved Blinks.

Speaker 4 (01:20:24):
Oh Jesus, good for them?

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, they you know, they've they've earned it.
They've earned it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Yeah, they they they've They've played a few gigs at
the Showcase Theater in Corona.

Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
They've no, no big deal, Uh, you know, it's it's
I have liked this band since nineteen ninety five, so
I'm always gonna I'm gonna always at least listen to
the records.

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
Totally same.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
It's great. I love it like I truly genuinely like
it a lot. Yeah, blink, all right, Jeremy, do you
want to talk about it before? I know? It's probably
your number in this area for you.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
Uh, two point five.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
I'm pressing a special eleventh spot. It's above one.

Speaker 5 (01:21:12):
Like the year when I pulled some ship where I
made a number zero and it was a Leonard Cohen record,
I'm always here to It.

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
Just floats above it all.

Speaker 4 (01:21:20):
Yeah. Uh, am I picking something? Actually?

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
Am I doing my number?

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
Yeah? You can throw it Jeremy, Yep, Jeremy' number three.

Speaker 5 (01:21:31):
My number three is the jail record, the jail record
only constant, which you know, there's a reason they're as
big as they are. This is just a start to
finish short, very good hardcore record. It sounds great. They're
very uh, they're very good at what they're doing. It's
there there again, we're not reinventing any wheels here. This

(01:21:52):
is just a a good hardcore record and uh. I
would say my favorite hardcre record of the year in
the sense that like every time it came on, I'd
be like, Yep, there it is. That sounds fucking great
and it's uh over and done with and it did
all the parts that I like, Uh so, yeah, there
you go, the Gail.

Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
Record only constant there it's it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
I've just to button on that thought, the idea like
it when any time that record came on my best
of twenty twenty three playlist, every time it would come on,
I'd be like, God, like this song, like this record,
it's so good and it just it commanded your attention,
which I really enjoyed about it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:39):
I think they're my favorite of like this new crop.

Speaker 4 (01:22:42):
Of same like all that.

Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
Yeah, yeah, they're the one that jumps out at me,
is like, I want to see what this band does
next the most. Yeah not today. They just got oh
I say, they just got announced direct as the on
the Code Orange tour.

Speaker 4 (01:22:59):
Right, yep.

Speaker 5 (01:23:03):
They I hadn't seen them live and I saw them
play at Genghis Cohen the like restaurant here which they
have a back room which is I would think legally
cap thirty five. It's extremely small and I was like, well,
this is going to be violent, so like just did

(01:23:25):
the thing to stand there in the back, stood up
on a couch and was like uh and it was
just fucking crazy, Like the whole place went nuts. And yeah,
they're really just good at what they do and they're
very proficient players and they have great tones. It's just
like it doesn't seem like a sloppy hardcore band that

(01:23:46):
is just having a minute. It's like a band that
is very dialed in and knows how they're how to
make good hardcore songs.

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
So yeah, there you.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
Go, very focused.

Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
I agree.

Speaker 5 (01:23:58):
Yeah, did you guys all do your number three?

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
Yep, you're number two?

Speaker 5 (01:24:04):
Okay my number two? My number two is the Black
Country New Road Live at bush Haul Record. Oh do
you guys have any thoughts on this band?

Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
I don't understand it. But then I saw that I
saw a video you posted on like one of your
stories yeah, and was like, oh my god, I think
I should listen to this band. I didn't yet, but uh,
I just thought it was funny that that last record
came out and it was like Pitchfork Best New Music,
Like this is the greatest thing that's ever happened on
the singer was like I quit, yeah, then.

Speaker 5 (01:24:40):
Yeah, I'm fascinated by the the This is a band
full of prodigies, like straight up musical prodigies, every single
one of them. They're super young, like I think the
oldest member, if I'm gonna guess, might be twenty four,
Like super are super young, look like students, and they

(01:25:03):
are unbelievably talented. So like they put out that last
record and the singer quits and his his like statement
on it is really heartbreaking where he's basically like.

Speaker 4 (01:25:20):
I you know more.

Speaker 5 (01:25:21):
I think there's a line where he says like I
was hoping this would make me happy, and like holding
a guitar makes me really unhappy, which is and like
the band supported him, was just like I don't like
if you're if your mental health is suffering this much
being a musician, like we're not gonna, we don't want,
we don't expect, you just.

Speaker 4 (01:25:39):
Still do this.

Speaker 5 (01:25:40):
So in the like they've put out a record a
year every ever, you know, like the one before I
think came out the year before. And the songs are
not like quick three minute jaunts, they're like seven minute,
very musical numbers. So the fact that they were like,
we respect all of the music that you've made with us,

(01:26:00):
but we're gonna now write ten new songs and yeah,
we're all gonna sing now. So now like different members
of the band sing, and it's so when they play.
So I went and saw them in LA and they
basically played what this live record is and they don't
play anything from the sing the songs that he was
a part of, and it's incredible. Like Joey, I think

(01:26:23):
that you would like the songs that the piano player
sings because it's very it's very uh Regina spectory in
a lot of ways, uh, which I think you would
be into. But there's just yeah, I'm just blown away
by them as musicians and songwriters and them as people.

(01:26:45):
They seem very well rounded and very just I don't know,
I'm impressed by them.

Speaker 4 (01:26:51):
I'm very very impressed by them.

Speaker 3 (01:26:53):
For not knowing a lot about them. They kind of
remind me I like or I have the same vibe
as like a broken social scene kind of thing, where
like more of like is it more like a collective? Yes,
and it's people kind of come and go, and that's
what that's what I've like.

Speaker 4 (01:27:06):
I don't think people are coming and going.

Speaker 5 (01:27:08):
I think that it's it stayed this group of people,
but is a but they're switching.

Speaker 3 (01:27:14):
But it's like there's not just one person who's like
I mean, I guess Kevin Drew is broken social scene,
but like it does feel like, oh, here's Feist on
this record, and you know there's that kind of.

Speaker 5 (01:27:24):
So yeah, I mean, they had that vocalist for those
two records, but I mean now it's like, you know,
one of the singers is a guy who also plays horns,
and then another singer is the piano player, and then
another singer is is a girl who uh plays guitar
and also bass I think, but it's like they have

(01:27:46):
like a flute player, they have stringed instruments players.

Speaker 4 (01:27:49):
Like I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:27:52):
The play in l Ah.

Speaker 4 (01:27:53):
They sold out two nights at the at the Regent. Mhmm.

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
Yeah, that's what that's what I've had Like to Joey's point,
that's what I've had a tough time tracking because I've
listened to the record like or the last their last record,
I tried to wrap my head around and I was
just like I don't know where to start. Like I
was like I understand elements of it, but then there's
a lot of it that I'm just like, oh, I
don't know, it seems like whatever, Like I'm too dense.

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
It's like I just don't.

Speaker 5 (01:28:21):
Get off on guard and challenging music in the fact,
and like there's like a lot of jazz incorporations, and yeah,
it's very very music.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
So it's similar to the blank on two record than
Thank You.

Speaker 3 (01:28:37):
You should hear the paradid on the that Travis does
I don't know, some drum thing I don't know, but.

Speaker 1 (01:28:43):
In between in between his peloton classes that he does
drumming lessons, yeah, because that's what yeah, he ses in multitalenty's.

Speaker 3 (01:28:51):
He produced the record, and the drums are so loud
on it. Jar is So is this live record all
new songs?

Speaker 4 (01:29:01):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:29:03):
So they they were like, instead of going into the studio,
they were like, We're just going to record this live album.
So that's why I feel like this.

Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
Was it sound like a live album?

Speaker 5 (01:29:12):
It does, it does, but but you can hear all
of the everything you need to hear, you know. So
when they so I went and saw them at the Regent,
they played literally what this live album is like the
same song order everything.

Speaker 4 (01:29:27):
Yeah, And I was like I.

Speaker 5 (01:29:28):
Went into it being like, well, I'm not as familiar
with the live album as I am with all of
the previous songs with the other singer, but I want
to see them, so I'm going to go. And they
blew me away, like fucking floored me. So I'm excited
to see what they do next.

Speaker 1 (01:29:46):
Amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
Watch the conrelated question, Yeah, did any either of you
go see quicksand recently?

Speaker 4 (01:29:55):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
I did not.

Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
That band Hotline T and T opened and it looked
like I saw video with the guitar players wearing a
uniform choice the UC shirt, and then I looked at
his Instagram and he has a he's wearing a letterman
jacket with an X on it. I thought it was cool. Yeah,
I mean, yeah, I know nothing about that band.

Speaker 5 (01:30:12):
I mean when you're talking about you know, at the
top of this ray talked about honorable Mention stuff, It's like,
that's a record that I haven't spent time with, but
every song I've heard off of.

Speaker 4 (01:30:21):
It is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
Ceremony last year I think they were ceremony. Oh like
they play it sounded period.

Speaker 3 (01:30:30):
I just totally derailed this but you're fine, Sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
You're no, you get these are these are important questions
you have to I was.

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Going to add, well, I was like, yeah, you listened
to the band and then you see like yeah, dude
with a uniform choice shirt and then an X Letterman jacket.

Speaker 4 (01:30:44):
Like yeah, yeah, throwback.

Speaker 5 (01:30:46):
I Uh, I was gonna say, they just did a
What's in No Country or sorry, no Country, Black Country,
New Road just did a amba What's in your Bag?
And you're just like you people are so much smarter
than me, Like like the amount of.

Speaker 3 (01:31:05):
What they all picked the Blink record.

Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
I think there was only like one member who picked
stuff that I had ever even heard of or I
was just like wow.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
It's like the deepest deepest cuts ever.

Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
Like of like classical music of all sorts of stuff.
Like I was like, you people are so advanced, it's crazy.
But uh yeah, I don't know. I mean I'm excited
to see what they do next. Uh now, you guys
do your number two right, so I'll throw it to Joey.

Speaker 4 (01:31:37):
What's your number two?

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
I'm such a mark for these things. Paramore. This is
why Yes you.

Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
Are, Yes you are. I actually forgot that they released this.

Speaker 5 (01:31:55):
Ord I've listened to you from start to finish.

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
Yeah, Like that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
It's when a band can go from like where they
started to sonically what they sound like now. It's like
it's just it's insane and to like only get more popular,
like you do not hear the oh we want another Riot,
We just like do Riot all over again. It's like

(01:32:21):
the Paramore fans have grown with them and like everything
they've done, and I think this record is pretty incredible
and it's wild to me, like the B side is
even better than the A side I think.

Speaker 4 (01:32:33):
And that's oh nice, weird.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
Yeah, but it's it's like, don't it's just a really
cool record where even like I'll play it in the
store and people who work there who are not into
this stuff will be like, that's is pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:32:47):
Like yeah, they're like this yeah. Like well, especially too
where it's like this record cut through certain places where
it's like, I mean not like this is a litmus
test on how things cut through, but like they did
an episode of that song Exploder podcast on a Paramore
song and it's like, yeah, that's because they're like legitimized
in mainstream press for a multitude of obvious reasons, but

(01:33:08):
like that's where it starts to like penetrate. You know,
people who are music snobs or whatever, they're like, oh, yeah,
like this band is actually yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
You still hear Paramore and you're just like, oh, misery
business and there's so much more going on on these
records now, which I think is really cool and it's awesome.
Yeah to see them get bigger. I saw them at
Boston Calling, and you know, a festival is not my
number one spot to see a band, and they were incredible,
Like they can just command that whole stage. And yeah,

(01:33:39):
to go from there like on to the heally was
like we played this like, you know, ten years ago
and now we're headlining it and it's like that's kind
of crazy, Like there's just right we.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
Played side stage warp touric guys, you remember that that.

Speaker 5 (01:33:52):
I mean, I haven't heard it in a minute, but that
this is why song. Anytime I have heard it, it's
in my head for like the next six days. Yeah,
just thinking about it right now, it's in my head
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:34:01):
It's yeah, it's there, It's there.

Speaker 5 (01:34:04):
And shut out Brendans for directing that music, which is
super fucking good, totally.

Speaker 3 (01:34:11):
Cool, yeah, I'm now I'm confused. You did number your
number two.

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
Jeremy, it's now raising I'm doing my number two.

Speaker 3 (01:34:19):
Thank God, raise here keeping us.

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
Thank God, we all we we all learn from each other. Uh.
My second favorite record of the year is a record
that you talked about already, Joey, The Incendiary Record. Change
the way you think about pain. I like, I mean,
this band could fart on a record and I'll probably
be like, it was pretty heavy, man, But I just

(01:34:42):
to your point, and not to like, you know, beat
a dead horse, but just the idea of getting better
as you get older, and like, I mean, Jeremy and
I and I know you, Joey witnessed the magnificence of
Botch and watching adults play music is so thrilling, and
it's like, that's what it feels like. Incendiaries getting to

(01:35:04):
the point where you're just like, listen, they have a formula,
they're sticking to it. They work with the same producer
like they do, they hit all the same notes, but
they still continue to progress. And then Brendan's lyrics are
also still just like talking about real stuff and not
just like you know, oh like whatever insert stupid cliche.
And hardcore thing here. So yeah, I just freaking love

(01:35:27):
this record so much, and I love every time I
get a chance to see them. I will and I
will support this band until they stop being a band.

Speaker 4 (01:35:36):
You guys have both said freaking on this podcast. Am
I are?

Speaker 5 (01:35:39):
You guys just like in full dad mode and I'm
just the piece of shit that still discusses all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:35:45):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:35:45):
So I just don't. I don't fuck, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
Joey has the sulliest reputation.

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
No, I just yeah, I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (01:35:57):
I think I heard, Brad.

Speaker 4 (01:35:58):
I just feel bad right now.

Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
You don't need to feel bad.

Speaker 3 (01:36:04):
I'm gonna swear like crazy when my NaN's my number
one record? You fucking wait, jeer me, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:36:10):
That's what I want.

Speaker 1 (01:36:13):
Well, my speaking of number one record, I will tell
you my number one record in the year, and that
is the Slow Dive. Everything is a live record. My god,
this record talk about going down easy. It's like, I mean,
I know, Slow Dive is obviously you know, as the
kids say, Goaded was in the context of shoegaze and

(01:36:36):
or rock music, whatever genre you want to put it in.
And there their self titled record that they put out
when they you know, came back, was like blew my
hair back and was so good. This thing. It's just
it could not sound better. They could not be catchy yer,
and I like every time I will not even revisit

(01:36:58):
it because it never really left my rotation, But every
time I put it on, I'm just like, I cannot
not listen to the whole record, Like I I just
have to. I have to listen the whole thing. I
have to list the whole thing, and the song kisses
like that. I think it was one of those first
singles they put out on this record, just like, god damn,
it's so good. So yeah, there's no record that I've
listened to more than this record this year.

Speaker 3 (01:37:20):
This is a record I'm now realizing it's not on
my list, and I I'm not not happy about it.
But Blinkin one more Time is so we all make choices.
This record is unbelievable, and I'm like, I have a
relationship with shoegayzy stuff where it's like I'll be honest,
I don't care for most of it, Like I think

(01:37:40):
it's all kind of the same and Slow Dive as
a band, where like they have a lot of stuff,
and some of it just it's not that I don't
like it, it's just like that's fine, it's not for me.
And then this record I put on just because it
was new, and I was like, I listen to it
and it instantly grabbed me. It's like a Wieter. It's

(01:38:00):
not like when I think is shoegazy stuff, it's like
just loud and you don't really but there's you can
there's a lot going on behind it. But like this one,
it's like it's just a quieter shoegaze record and it's unbelievable,
like so catchy.

Speaker 1 (01:38:17):
I just think that what they do with their their
vocal harmonies as well, where you're just like, oh, it's beautiful,
it's late, it's everything that to your point where it's
like it's not just you know, using the fuzz pedal
for fuzz pedal's sake, Like they're obviously their songwriters and
that's really cool.

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
The songs that the guy sings are really good, Like
it's just it's great, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:38:37):
Yeah, well, way to go slow Dive, Way to be
a band that is really good.

Speaker 5 (01:38:42):
It's one of those situations where I hadn't I haven't
listened to this album once, so now I'm excited to
listen to it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:49):
Yeah, it's beautiful. Well, Jeremy, what is your favorite record
of the.

Speaker 4 (01:38:53):
Year, It's the Spiritual Cramp record.

Speaker 1 (01:38:57):
It's quite good, beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:39:00):
I think it's quite good.

Speaker 5 (01:39:01):
I think I'm giving it the number one because I've
been wanting them to do an album for so goddamn long.
They've been putting out incredible EPs since like twenty fucking
sixteen or seventeen or whatever it is, and I'm excited
that they finally did. And yeah, it's like it's got
all of the elements of what I love about them

(01:39:23):
from the beginning, with like hearing the you know, sort
of clash modern lovers, you know, iggy pop type stuff
in it, but then it also has elements of like
The Strokes and Inner pol And stuff like that in it.
And I think it's a great culmination of all the
things that they've been working towards. So it's hokey, it's catchy,

(01:39:45):
They're fucking incredible live, and yeah, I think that they
have the record behind them to hopefully move them to
the next level if the opportunities present, and I wish
them all the best.

Speaker 4 (01:39:59):
Because they deserve it.

Speaker 3 (01:40:02):
This is so the Another record that almost a list
was the New Hives record, which is really great, but
like you listen to this and it's like, man, like
if people like the Hives, like they would love this band.
Like it's just they've got the stage like everything about
it's like the whole package.

Speaker 1 (01:40:21):
Yep, more more Organs. We need more organs and bands and.

Speaker 3 (01:40:26):
More sound effects.

Speaker 4 (01:40:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:40:29):
The I think this is the first time in a while,
whether it's that we've all three of us had the
same record on our list, it's been.

Speaker 5 (01:40:37):
A minute, has been a minute? Yeah, Yeah, I don't
know the last time we all had something on there.

Speaker 4 (01:40:44):
Maybe it was a national.

Speaker 3 (01:40:45):
Yeah, well I think we've I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (01:40:47):
Yeah. I was about saying so that, like we definitely
have done the national record. It's probably last.

Speaker 3 (01:40:53):
Seriously, like I remember what came out last year.

Speaker 4 (01:40:58):
Yeah, no clue all right.

Speaker 3 (01:41:02):
Joe uh Sufia and Steven's Javelin. Wow, this record's unbelievable.
It I really liked it. And then I saw his
post the day it came out about his partner passing,
and it just put this record on a whole like

(01:41:25):
where like is it Carrie A Lowell sad. Maybe not,
but it is just fucking heartbreaking. It. It is a
very very tough listen. And it's one of those things
where like I listened to the store all the time,
and you'll always doing other stuff and I'm busy and
like I can't really like I'm not giving it my

(01:41:46):
full attention. And the first time, I think I was
driving to like a long drive and I put it
on and that's all of a sudden it hit me
and I was just like, oh my god, Like this
record is not a fun listen like it like it is.

Speaker 1 (01:42:01):
I do love that to interrupt your trend of thought.
I'm also loving the play that's happening in your living room.

Speaker 3 (01:42:07):
It's funny. I've got earplugs and I can't hear it.
I don't know it's going fine.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
It just it cuts through just a little bit, but
it's fine. But the when a record lands on you
like that, Like I love that feeling where all of
a sudden it's just like, oh, like the sky's open
up and all of a sudden you're like I get
it now.

Speaker 3 (01:42:24):
And this one, the sky's got real cloudy and gloomy.
But like it just.

Speaker 1 (01:42:31):
He and.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
His records you know, like Illinois and like is great,
and I think Carry Lowle is truly a masterpiece and
like one of the greatest records of all time, and
everything since Carrion Lowell has been just like fine, Like
I don't love the weirder stuff, but I feel like
this record takes everything Carrion Lowell was but also has

(01:42:58):
adds an element of like, you know, different sounds, and
it's not just like a guy playing guitar, Like it
has enough like weirdness in it to bring people who
love the ascension in And yeah, but yeah, this is
that record's unbelievable. I wasn't sure it was gonna be
my number one, and then I was making my list

(01:43:20):
and I was like, well, of course it's my number one.

Speaker 1 (01:43:22):
Like it just kept climbing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:24):
I think it truly is the best record of the year.

Speaker 1 (01:43:27):
Yeah, is that why you put it number one?

Speaker 4 (01:43:32):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:43:32):
My god?

Speaker 1 (01:43:34):
Right, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:43:36):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:43:38):
Well, to wrap it up, let's give our special shout
outs to anything that we want to, whether it's record
labels or other records that we missed or anything like that. Joey,
you want to start it off with anything that comes
to your mind. There If not you know.

Speaker 3 (01:43:52):
There was a record by an artist named Blondell that
I really like.

Speaker 1 (01:43:55):
Yeah, Records Rule.

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
The record's really good. There's a record by artist named
Gloom which I believe she's La based. I ordered it
because I liked the artwork and uh, it has a
lot of like I don't know, she's like a former
child actor in the movie is set up like a

(01:44:16):
there the record the movie Oh my God. The record
is set up like a movie where there's like three
different acts like Rufus Wainwright sings on a song it's
really good.

Speaker 1 (01:44:28):
Oh cool, the new.

Speaker 3 (01:44:29):
Followup Boy's great. I feel like on a and on
a classic Joey.

Speaker 1 (01:44:35):
That's perfect.

Speaker 5 (01:44:38):
You got you got anything you want to mention Jeremy Yeah,
I mean, you know, at the top of this, I
was saying, there's a lot of records that I think
have fucking great songs on it, but as a whole
didn't make my list, Like and that's paid Military Gun,
like uh, truth Cult. There's a lot of records I
think from bands that I think are great. But I'm

(01:45:00):
excited to see what all of these bands do next too,
you know, because they're obviously got their craft going. I'm
excited to see what they continue to do. I think
like Convulse is doing a lot of great cool stuff,
Like they obviously have their ear to the ground and are,
you know, putting out a lot of interesting stuff. So yeah,
and also I think it's a great time for screamo

(01:45:23):
music because there's a lot of young bands that are
doing incredibly sick stuff that I'm excited about. So, uh,
the ol comp called I put out a comp called
Balladiers Redefined that has thirty one bands that are really
fucking sick. So all of those bands are continuing to
do really cool stuff, So I'm excited to see what

(01:45:43):
all of they do.

Speaker 4 (01:45:44):
All of them.

Speaker 3 (01:45:44):
Yeah cool.

Speaker 1 (01:45:46):
What about you Ray, That's awesome. Yeah, they're I mean,
I love that Judiciary record to talk about like cool
metal hardcore bands. Honestly, you're Jeremy. Your podcast introduced me
to PET. It was never familiar with PD in any capacity,
and that record is awesome. I was super impressed on

(01:46:07):
the Screamo tip. Yeah, I never was familiar with them.
On that Screamo tip. That New Jerome's Dream record has
no business being as good as it was, but it
was so good. I also absolutely obsessed with the label,
Sunday Drive Records out of San Antonio, freaking like almost
every single record he put out this year. And I'm

(01:46:28):
not like being hyperbolic. I've like loved where there's like,
you know, a band called Fever Child who's basically just
like ripping off Mineral and like doing the same artwork
and like everything else. I'm like, this is gorgeous and
so yeah, love what he's doing. And then there's a
random band called Phantom Bay that's from I think Belgium
or maybe Germany, but they put out a five or

(01:46:50):
six song EP that is like, yeah, dude, that record
smokes love that it's the.

Speaker 5 (01:46:55):
EP just did a year end thing about songs with
Norman from Texas is the reason Norman, uh, and he
loves that band and he chose a song off of
that EP.

Speaker 4 (01:47:09):
So that was my first time hearing them.

Speaker 5 (01:47:11):
Also, I want to shout out of fucking Open City
and Painted Black, both records that I think are fucking
awesome too, great hardcore records.

Speaker 1 (01:47:18):
Yes, the world, the world blessed us with a bunch
of yemans like a month apart. Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:47:26):
Yeah, I know there were some good good stuff this year,
good stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:47:34):
Absolutely well gentlemen, we've We've accomplished it as usual, Timeline.

Speaker 3 (01:47:41):
Yeah, we're really getting this thing on.

Speaker 4 (01:47:42):

Speaker 1 (01:47:46):
We did, we did well. It's a It's always a pleasure,
and I love you both dearly, and I am glad
that we get to age. As you know, people that
like music together.

Speaker 4 (01:47:59):
Always pleasure.

Speaker 1 (01:48:00):
Wow, you made it to the end. You are what
they call a super fan or a completist. But anyways,
next week, I'll just be dropping a short episode where
I will be talking about records and stuff that I
enjoyed throughout the entire year. So just a nice little
twenty thirty minute hit for you to listen to as
you're maybe trying to like escape the holidays in some capacity.
But anyways, happy holidays, Happy New Year, all of those

(01:48:23):
platitudes that people say. I genuinely appreciate you checking out
