Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Chatterbox. I'm Grace, I'm Sasian Tale, and right
now we are sitting at a plastic fold out table
right here on Dexterra Lawn.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It's in the wind, very windy.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Lots of people are walking by because this weekend is
actually super Boom weekend and the architecture design contest.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
And our fellow podcasters stole all our equipment.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
But we're not mad at all, not even a little bit.

French Sorry, my bad, I wanted that equipment.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
So every week we have a different topic for an episode,
and this week we are asking passer.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Buyers what is a song that means a lot to them?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
So we're going to be finding out those answers and
talking with them and sharing our own.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Two vashi lance. I'm talking about a Justice album.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, so uh, just don't like describe, just just talk
about whatever song it feels important. An oscillating between like
metalcore and French touch.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I feel like those are two opposite genres.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
What is French touch.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
It's like a new disco uh and funk, like I
want to say collaboration, but it's kind of like spurn out,
like the nineties of French Touch in French house is
like very danceable disco style that is popular like in
early rave scenes and early Oh god, oh my.

lot more rap recently, Miss Marl Big Steppers double Alum
phenomenal album.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So so you're more of like a rap kind of guy.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I definitely more more to rock, but I got a
lot to rap last summer. So what do you like
about the rap? Okay, so there's this album called yacht
Rock two by The Alchemist.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I love yat rock.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
So it's a rap album called yacht Rock two by
this producer called the Alchemist. And basically it's kind of
like a mixtup. It's like a thirty minute sect of
like like ten songs, three each like a comments long,
and they're all like nautical themed and they've got this
really nice, obviously nautical vibe, strong recommendations. It's such a
(02:48):
it is a vibe, and obviously like it should be
a vibe. Yeah, but it's just so much more fun than.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
You like, even with it's so good, it's it's kind
of like aggressive rap over a very chilled nautical.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Beats of nautical beats, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Not enough nautical beats, kind of like you know, bubbles
popping like underwater. It's more like its sirens, I would
say a third category.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
It's more like there's a lot of these samples that
are like weyana yacht or like trying to think a
lot of advertisements of people trying to sell yachts. Shocked
kind of like wave and it's a fun album.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
If you absolutely took out like all the vocals.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
It was something you could fall asleep too, which is
very fun. Strong recommendation that is so cool. Stu Gots
great one song. There's There's It's good Ocean Prime, Boldie James,
great song.

Yeah, good to know, wonderful.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Thank you guys for you recommendation.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Thank you guys so much for a Yeah this is
you want to make you too.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Late, Sebastian our first twins ever on the podcast there
are awesome to Oh my god, they looked exactly the same.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
They just had the.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Same face as like, what's two of them?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yacht rock is super interesting. In my head, I was
imagining like like SpongeBob, kind of SpongeBob music.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
With like a like the whole time vibe.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, yeah, Definetly when it comes.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
To rap, I like U, I prefer rap battles. I
love like just hearing the insults and like references. Yeah,
so huge part of my childhood at the crap Battles
of history that was still listen to them right now
and then it's shocking the production value they have these days.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Actually, yeah, they're crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But I just love like knowing like who it is
and just seeing like all the different like insults creatively
made to rhyme. Yeah, because some of them were some
deep cuts like oh my.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Passion. I was so excited when you suggested this idea
for a podcast because I'm a DJ ATKCPR Saturday's twelve PM.
Oh man, so fucking cool, so cool, And I feel
like everyone's favorite song or album is like such a
look into who they are as people. Do you feel
(05:11):
that way?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah? I also think it's funny someone kind of gives
off a certain vibe and then they just give you
like a total curve fall.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I love when that happens.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, that's really cool. So do you have a favorite
song or album that you were gonna talk about?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You know, I don't really know, but one of like
my top bands of all time, like I enjoy almost
any song they put out is a Wall Nation. You've
heard at least one of their songs, more specifically Sale
all those years ago. So yep, that's the one.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I know that they do like so many different like varieties.
All of it is like really good, Like even just
over the more recent years, they've done a lot. During COVID,
they actually released like a cover album with a bunch
of different other artists. So like, I found some like
new songs I enjoy and I actually enjoyed the covers
(06:02):
a lot more than the original songs half the time interesting,
but like a Wall Nation, I think really has a
hard time missing.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, do you feel like like when you listen to it,
does it remind you? Does it like snap you right
back into COVID?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
No? Not really doesn't give covidvice, but like I know
the story of it. But they do have like one
song that has like more emotional weight to it, slightly morbid.
But my dad died last summer, and so you know,
sometimes we listen to songs to validate her feelings. And
I found a song that just came across it and honestly,
(06:40):
fuck you YouTube for that. But it's a really good song.
It's from like the sixties. I believe it's by a
guy called Gilbert O'Sullivan. I forget. It's a really sad
song and I just really connected with it. Yeah, you know,
it's like slow, it kind of puts you in the vibe.
And then after I found out that a Wile Nation
(07:02):
had done a cover of it, and I really appreciated
that cover because the way that they used the instruments,
it has a little more of a synth wavy feel,
so it makes the depressing lyrics feel a little more hopeful. Yeah,
Like because I think at the end of the song
the guy kills himself, like when they do it, when
(07:24):
a walle Nation did it, while keeping the exact same lyrics,
it sounds a little more hopeful, like he didn't do
it right, like things are looking up. He found something
so interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It was like a completely different interpretation of the song.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, it was weird because like everything was the same,
you know, like kind of same tempo, but all they
changed was like you know, the instruments used. Yeah, but
I haven't listened to that song in a while because
I would rather not. But like that song is a
very recent song that does a lot for me.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I kind of like got you through it a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, Yeah, it helped a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
That's good.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah. That's one thing about finding songs on YouTube that
I think is the most heartbreaking thing, especially if it's
like an older song, is you'll scroll down to the
comments and it's people like recounting their entire life stories. Yeah,
and like this song reminds me of playing with my
kids in the front yard, or my beloved husband before
he passed away in nineteen eighty two. It's like heartbreaking,
(08:21):
these people sharing their souls in the YouTube comments. That's
a pretty special part about those songs on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I think yeah. Also found the song It's called Alone again. Naturally.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh, I love that song.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It's really good.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That is a really good song.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Good news about that song. Fun fact, the Gilberto Solovan
made it very clear that that was not a song
about his actual feelings.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, that's good. I had a few songs that I
wanted to bring up. Okay, I guess going along with
that theme of like it's kind of snapping you back
into a moment in time or like a general era
of your life. Bad Habit by Steve Lee. It's a
super popular song. I think it came out in twenty
twenty two, I want to say, but I mainly listened
(09:08):
to it in the summer of twenty twenty two, specifically August.
I'm on the improv team my cow poly Smile a
Nod and every few years as a team we do
a trip to Edinburgh in Scotland and perform at the
Fringe Festival.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
For a month.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So that year I got to do that with all
my friends, go to Scotland to live there for a
month and perform. And that was like the theme song
for the entire trip was Bad Habit by Steve Lacy.
Like every outing we went on, somebody was playing it
on their phone getting ready in the house that we
all shared, that was playing. Anytime we were like drunkenly
(09:45):
walking home in the streets of Edinburgh, somebody was playing that.
So it was just like a really good theme song
for the whole trip and an era in my life
that was like so definitively like awesome. We're very familiar
guest in both face and voice. Lauren, our camera person.
(10:08):
Hey guys, Lauren, we heard you were preparing for weeks
for this time.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (10:12):
I've been really excited about this episode. We've been meaning
to film it for god knows how long at this
point quarter Yeah, and I've really been marinating on the question.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
So I think I'm ready to share.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I would love to hear ready for this banger.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Oh No, there's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
So basically when I was growing up, when I was
a child, my dad made up this thing called birth songs,
which he was like, this is your song that was
like really popular during like the year that you were born.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
And he says that it was like what was playing
like on the radio like while we were being born,
which I don't really know.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
So he told me, Laura, So he was like, your
birth song is Clocks by Coldplay.
Speaker 8 (10:55):
That song Nope, such a good song, such a good song.
Speaker 10 (10:58):
It's like, yeah, sorry, mildly familiar, like I don't know
that it's one of cold Play's line.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
You know, it's one of Coldplay's most popular songs, but
it was popular during two thousand and four, which is
when I was born, And so my dad said that
that was my birth song, so that's my favorite song.
But I fear that as a child, I misinterpreted birth
song or he was just lying to me because he
was like, yeah, my birth song is Hips Don't Live
by Shakira, And my dad was born in nineteen seventy
(11:32):
and I don't know exactly when Hips Don't Live by
Shakira came out, but I fear it was not nineteen seventy.
But yeah, my birth song is Clocks by Coldplay. My
Little Brothers is how to Save a Life.
Speaker 8 (11:45):
Do you know that song? I forget. It's like how
to save the life. Where did I go wrong?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (11:54):
I lost that one.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Oh it's also great song I was released in two
thousand and five. There's No Clocks was Hops Don't Lie?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Yeah, that's when I knew.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
I was like, wait, it was like recently that I
was thinking about it and I was like, wait, that
wasn't true war yikes. But yeah, Clocks by Coldplay is
my favorite song of all time because of that, it
just has a special place in my heart.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
That's so cool.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
And I want to learn how to play it on
the piano. I mean it's probably easy. It's just the
same thing over and over again.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Nice and simple.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Yeah. So yeah, that's a song that means a lot
to me.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Thank you so much, Lauren.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh you've been voluntold to get in. Okay, just tell
us about music. What have you been listening to recently?
What's a song that you know you just remember when
you were a kid something.
Speaker 11 (12:40):
I listened to a lot of like indie pop music.
I mean there's a whole mix, but like that's like
what makes up the majority of my playlist. And then
songs that I remember from my childhood are a lot
of eighties songs because that's what my parents listened to,
and I grew up with what my parents listened to,
so like just very like eighties pop funk stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So any certified bangers in there, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
The first one that comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I don't know who.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
It's vibe.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
It's called freak Zoid.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Okay, Freaky is a good one.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Someone doesn't want to be here.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Any favorite indie pop I know, they like all disappear
from your mind as soon as you like try to
remember it.
Speaker 11 (13:18):
I don't know if he's Liam well, I mean I
said his name. I don't think if he's indie pop
or like slowcore.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Me and McKay, Liam McKay. That sounds so familiar.
Speaker 11 (13:27):
Yeahs, tons of different bands that he's done. He's got done, Like,
I don't know what his most popular song is, but
I just realized, like three different bands that doesn't do it,
we're all him.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh good, Yeah, that's so cool. Wonderf What was your name?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
My name is Vicky, Vicky.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Nice to meet you, Vicky.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Goodbye, Vicky, goodbye. I love getting big groups, big groups.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I think they were a high school touring. I want
to say, yeahouse are always awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
They look like high schools younger and younger.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, they look like they're in between school in college anyway, creators,
indiepop is cool.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Eighties is also very que like your most listened to genre?
What's a mainstay?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
A main stay? I guess. I guess. When I'm in
like a happy, happy mood and I want a groove,
I listen to like a lot of funk, a lot
of songs with like strong basslines, very groovy stuff. I
love a good Anderson pack. There's a song called Era
(14:32):
right through me. I think it's called just a lot
of you know, groovy, groovy stuff that gets your little
what wiggle one? You know.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I think a song you should definitely try is Watermelon
Man by Herbie Hancock.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh Herby Hancock d.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Watermelon Man is a personal favorite of mine because it's
always like it's like a flashbang of a song, right
you kind of just throw it at people and you're like, well,
well how do you react to this one? Because it
starts off really really strangely, like, you know, kind of
kind of has like those tribal like whistles in and out,
and it kind of like lasts like that for like
(15:06):
a whole two minutes. That sounds awesome, But like they
slowly add in more things. So like as like as
this whistling sound is going in and out, they add
in like a bassline. Who like you know, I think
it's like two or three notes, and after as as
those two like you know, kind of flow together, then
(15:28):
they add in like a drum beat. It's kind of
I believe it's a jazz song, but it's I think
it's pretty groovy, honestly, and I think it's fairly unique honestly,
at least the start is so definitely try that one.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We'll do.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
That sounds awesome anyways. To answer my previous question from earlier,
Oh yeah, I think my mainstay is electro swing.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Electro swing is it by.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
You know, it's a whole genre.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh I I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Electro swing is kind of like taking that like music
from the twenties kind of vibe, but then making it
a little more electrical.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I think I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yeah, Like, are you familiar with Caravan Palace?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Oh my goodness, I play Caravan Palace all the time
on my.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
DJ show's That is one of the variants of electro thing.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, their stuff is super cool.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's definitely one of like the most popular electors things.
But there's a lot of like other variants which you know,
do different mixes and try different things, highly recommend them.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, No, Caravan Palace is a really really good wreck.
We're loving that.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I would say it's pretty groovy, you know. Yeah, so
I can try and find some suggestions for later, but
I just listened to so many I don't know, you know,
but Caravan Palace great starter for that.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Oh, my boyfriend is actually a music artist. Oh, he
goes by the name of a citizen. He produces and
sings and a lot of time raps his own songs
and he's all self taught, so so so freaking cool.
And a couple of songs he's actually worrying about me,
So I guess those mean a lot to me. The
(17:11):
ones that he that he like publishes publicly are obviously
so freaking cool. You just released one called it a Switch,
which is like the most hype song in the world,
and I played at like nine am to hide myself
up for swimming class.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah, you take swimming classes.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, they're pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
How to no no, Oh my god, no, I do.
It's it's like a count poly kinesiology. Okay, beginner swimming class.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It's like crazy, you're like twenty one.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
But he's also made songs like as a as a
little gift just for me, just me listen to. And
those are I guess the most meaningful because they're kind
of just between us and they're just super heartwarming and
special and I think, oh, I'll love them, love the
songs for years and years to come. It's a super
special thing.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Hype songs is a is a good topic though it's
a very good topic.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Oh my goodness, one of the best type songs of
all time, most hypee type songs A lot of time.
Do you hear the people sing shinging goose songs of
angry men and thanks?
Speaker 6 (18:20):
It does?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Of the people who will not be saved again?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You get it. I've never heard of it.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Really, Nope, dude, Oh my god, turn that shit all
the way up in your car. It's my mind.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I listened to like a lot of songs I find
like hype so like, just picking a few of them
is difficult. So one of the more recent ones, this
artist kind of like does like hype rap songs. His
name is Shotgun Willy.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Shotgun Willie sounds so familiar.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He makes a lot of like rap songs, but they're
about like kind of stupid shit. Oh no, Like one
in particular from his most recent album that I like
is called Winnebago. I think A really fun part about
it though, is like he uses the car horn as
like part of the song. Uh huh, so it just
fits in. But yeah, he's just rapping about, Like how
(19:11):
fucking cool this Winnebago is.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
We have here? Doctor marsh Banks.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Hello, Hello, Hi am Sabashians.
Speaker 12 (19:20):
Nice to meet you.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
So do you teach?
Speaker 12 (19:23):
I teach dystopic literature, the Bible's literature, I teach inter
the film. I teach lots of classes on disability studies,
British and American modernism, stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Do you feel like music informs and the stuff that.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
You teach well whenever I teach film, like I taught
Agnes Farda's Clail de Sankas Sat where the protagonist is
a singer and she's she's wrestling with the degree to
which her her appearance has made her career, and she
feels like she's been objectified by a lot of men.
There's this moment in the middle of this French film
where she she begins to sing near the piano with
(20:00):
her director and she becomes really raw and honest in
a way that she's not but most of the rest
of the film. So for her, the music provides a
way into self expression and interiority, which is I mean,
usually she's just performing for other people. She's like, her
whole life is a performance, Like she looks a certain way,
(20:22):
she holds yourself a certain way, even when she's not
in the recording studio or creating an advertisement, just because
that's what brings money into her her life, and that's
what brought her current lover into her life. And it's
just moving beyond.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Like Clao is short for Cleopatra, that's like.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Her stage name.
Speaker 12 (20:40):
And so there's this moment towards the end where she
actually reveals her real name to someone. This is so
beautiful that she's yeah, anyhow, it's an incredible film, and
she's wrestling with her mortality because she she's going to
find out at seven o'clock because it's five to seven.
She has it's a two hour film basically to find
out whether she has cancer. So she's waiting for this
(21:03):
diagnosis and then you know, you teach Christopher Nolan film
does almost all the music for this, did it for
Didni Viano's done? My daughter would get on to me,
She's like, Dad, thank you in person? Awesome. Yes, one
Zimmer is music. I mean it's often very very simple,
(21:24):
just a motif built on a simple chord or three
or four notes repeated over and over again. Yeah, so powerful.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah. One of my favorite score people is Michael Giacchino,
who did the score for Lost. She's like, in itself
a revolutionary show for TV, but I think his music
added so much to it. Because who composed original music
for a TV show in two thousand and one, Nolan did.
(21:52):
Lost was kind of the first, So I'm like, Michael
Giacchino is really cool. Yeah, And J. J.
Speaker 12 (21:58):
Abrams helped to produce that show at an emotion and
that was that show followed or it followed Alias and
preceded Fringe. And one of the things J. J. Abrams
did for both Alias, I think and Fringe is came
up with the theme music for both shows. So it's
awesome when you have a producer, director, someone who has
(22:20):
experience with the arts and is providing not just story
but also music or you know, like Tim Burton like
lots of art design. He does a lot of the
storyboarding for his films and things like that. It's just
it's nice when you have a creative force who has
their hands their tendrils into so many different aspects of
the arts and understands them.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Well. We were talking earlier about music that kind of
snaps you back into a moment in your life, where
like a specific era or a specific age. Do you
have any kind of music like that?
Speaker 12 (22:54):
So okay, So when I was in high school, I
had this start. I had this crush on this girl
named Mindy. I won't give her last name. I'll just
you know, I don't want to want to bring her
into this movie. But Mindy was my dance partner in
show Choir. I don't know if you've ever seen the
(23:15):
show Glee, but the first season. I loved the first
season and it was so reminiscent of some of the
things that I had done in high school. And this
this beautiful singer with it who was petite, small enough
that a slight guy like I could throw her around,
you know, like up in the air and things. She
had a boyfriend even better, it was an unrequited love.
(23:38):
And I remember, I remember making her mixtapes and this
is the eighties, right, okay. And there was a song
by Richard Marx called Hold onto the Nights, which I
listened to sitting in my living room with the lights off,
on the couch, just like an over and over again
thinking about her, probably in a poem or two.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I'm sure lost a time, yes, and you know, just
wishing that I could.
Speaker 12 (24:09):
I mean, sometimes the desire for a thing or a
person is heightened by their being out of reach, right,
you know, I think that was part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Although she was pretty amazing, we all want things we
don't happen life.
Speaker 12 (24:23):
I feel as though I actually had a chance with her,
and then it was this is horrible to admit about myself,
but it's like the desire is like, once it seemed plausible,
well possible, the desire kind of like dipped a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, but that song.
Speaker 12 (24:40):
Anytime I hear that song, it just transports me back instantaneously.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
To embarrassing times, embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Times and all this nostalgia. Do you know where she
is now?
Speaker 12 (24:49):
She's married, and she lives in Tennessee. I was in
eastern Tennessee at the time, so I think, I mean
as far as I can tell from Facebook, you know,
because old geezers like myself still Facebook to keep in
touch with high school friends. She is, she's doing right,
did pretty well good. Yeah, so happily married. And I
(25:09):
have a high school reunion coming up this fall, so
I think I'm returning to Tennessee for that. It would
be my thirty fifth How old am I? Yes, thirty
fifth high school reunion, so if we if I do return,
I'm sure there'll be lots of music by Nolanda Ritchie
(25:29):
and Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson and mister Mister Tears
for Fears I still have. I still have cassette tapes
of Mister Fierce for Fears Falco. Some of these falco
is like a one hit wonder, some of the stuff
in my garage and a tape player. If I'm out
there for very long doing some woodworking, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Hope you get to listen to that song in the fall.
If you do go back, thank you get transported.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
That would be all. I hope you get to listen
to that song. One day and not feel embarrassed.
Speaker 12 (25:59):
Good luck that one.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Thank you so much, doctor marsh of course.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh speaking of composers, that reminds me of some music
that I think is hugely important to me is Dark
Soul's music.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Dark Soul's music.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Dark Souls is a video game franchise, okay, and it's
inspired a lot of memes like get good, but also
people would call games like, oh, this is the Dark
Souls of insert genre because Dark Souls is a very
unforgiving game and it wants you to learn it makes
sure that you can do it. But all the music
(26:37):
and like, the entire world is kind of like sad.
You know, it's like somewhat post apocalyptic but with like
you know, the knights and the magic kind of stuff,
but you know, everything is Dilapiday. Your your job is
that is to restart the world basically using this magical fire.
(27:00):
But you have to like, you know, collect these things
to restart the fire. Throughout the three games, you come
across like a bunch of different people, and one was
pretty special because it's a pretty poorly built game, but
people still really enjoyed it because the like style and
especially the music. The music is huge was so attractive
(27:23):
to people and personally. Dark Souls three is the one
that I've spent the most time in where it's like,
not just the thematic ideas presented, like story wise are
really interesting to me and still influenced me when I
do do some creative writing, but the music especially kind
of shows like a tragedy for each of the characters
(27:46):
that you're fighting because you do have to kill them,
but each one like kind of presents their own stories.
Some of them sound like very triumphant, but almost all
of them that kind of have like that sad winding
down moment kind of like pathetic, And I think a
really good example of just how well made the Dark
Soul soundtrack without even having to listen to or like
(28:07):
know the context of the characters, just like listening to
see like who it's about what you can draw from
them is the title screen. The main menu has a
really really good song because it starts off sounding incredibly triumphant,
like you're going on a grand adventure, but like around
a minute in the music kind of takes this odd,
(28:30):
like sad turn. It gets like the there's a lyricist,
but she says no words. She just kind of like
you know, harmonizes. It gets sad and the violin's kicking
and all that, but it kind of like shows that
it's not a grand adventure. It's sad. It's kind of pathetic.
(28:51):
It shouldn't have come to this, basically, and I listened
to it every now and then and just kind of
it has a lot of emotion behind it. Another one
is the final boss of the game, called the Soul
of Cinder, which is basically like the fire's last dying
breath to try and stay alive. It channels everyone who's
(29:12):
ever revived the fire in the past to try and
stay alive, to try and like you know, just not
die and burn out. And at the end it calls
in a motif from the first game. The final boss
of the first game's motif comes back at the end
because the Soul of Cinder channels the first guy who
(29:34):
ever did it for it to try and survive.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Hello, please sit down. That is so cool. Video game
music is like, we'll continue after welcome.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Hello, I'm Grace, I'm Sebastian.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I'm Mia Mira. Nice to meet you. What's the podcast.
It's called Chatterbox. It's part of CACBR and Yeah, really cool. Yeah.
Every week we have a different question that we ask
people that are walking by and they answer so.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
So this week's question is what is an album or
song that means a lot to you?
Speaker 7 (30:13):
A song that means a lot to me?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Is Landslide By such a good song?
Speaker 7 (30:18):
I listen to that song on repeat for like hours,
which is interesting, but like somehow I don't get tired
of it. I don't know, it like gives me a
really strong connection to my dad. I guess he introduced
it to me, and I don't know, I just really
love it.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, that's so lovely. Do you like any other songs
by Feetwood Mac Or? Is that? Like?
Speaker 7 (30:38):
I do? But that's like kind of the main one.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
It's like the one, it's the one.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
Yeah, and there's a recently I found a do you
know Flatline Cavalry sounds vaguely familiar?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
It does sound familiar.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Yeah, they're like a recent band, but the.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Country Americans they're a really good cover.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
H So that's kind of my new obsession. Yeah, that
is so cool. Are there any other I totally relate to?
Like dad music, like songs that like you probably wouldn't
totally enjoy if it wasn't for like the.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Connection that you have with that person, with.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
The person, yeah, or with the person that that told
you about the song. Do you have any more songs
like that that remind you of somebody?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Right now?
Speaker 7 (31:25):
There's like a lot of music that reminds me of
my dad because like we'll send stuff back and forth.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Dad rock rock, dad rock is real. It's so real. Yeah, yeah,
thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Good luck in class anyways, Just to finish, I really
like Dark Souls music. I highly recommend it. You can
find it on at least YouTube, I know that much.
I highly recommend just giving it a listen. It's you know,
kind of more orchestral in nature, so like no electric guitar,
is there anything? Pretty simple things. But the I believe
(32:04):
these are the names, and I hope I'm getting them right.
But the two main composers for three at least are
called Yuka Kita Mura and moatoy Sukuraba. And Yuka she
actually does like will do the vocal female vocals for
a lot of the songs that she works on. So
like the made Menu theme that she worked on, that's
(32:25):
her voice that you can hear. She sounds really good.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Hello, aren't you like one of the leadership for the
video game club or the league club?
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Sorry, I have seen you before.
Speaker 13 (32:41):
Yeah I am what's your name? My name is Tarsa.
I guess should I just start?
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Yeah? Start. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (32:49):
The song's kind of like a little bit on the
newer side, so it's not like, oh, it means a
lot to me because it's you know, I've been listening
to it for a long time. But there's a song
called Deadline by Sundial, and really a lot of its
lyrics just kind of talk about how really just the
passage of time and just like everything is, you know,
(33:12):
everything's going to be happening at the same time, you
know you're going to be really busy and swamped with everything,
and you know, it's like you're always chasing a deadline,
and really it kind of talks about probably also like
the artists their own experiences just kind of missing things
like you know, vacations and like birthdays, family events and
(33:33):
stuff like that, and just kind of just the general
day to day busy forgetfulness and kind of its main
call is like, yeah, just remember to live in the
moment and kind of experience life as it's happening, and
not just get caught up in everything, which is I mean,
(33:53):
especially at cal Poly Porter School, everything's moving really fast.
You have a bunch of terms to think about, Like
you're not even done with You're barely even into the
you know, one quarter, and you're already thing about the
next one. So just I think that just kind of
being able to recognize, hey, maybe spending all this time
(34:13):
in lab trying to work on this project isn't the
greatest and just you know, getting out and kind of
be seeing your friends or just really just taking the
time to yourself.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
It slows you down. Yeah, So, which is really funny.
Speaker 13 (34:27):
It's a very like up kind of like fast upbeat song,
so it still is like, yeah, shit happens. But at
the end of the day, I remember to remember yourself
mostly and just don't just do it.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah, do you do? You feel like the song is
most impactful and you when you're in a really stressful
moment or like when you're trying to relax.
Speaker 13 (34:51):
I feel like also because I think just good in
a way, it's kind of like good timing. Like I've
kind of always listened to their music for a while.
Then they they had No. I think they released a
song like sometime like in the middle of last year,
so you know, like like I'm a third year, it's
like I'm already in.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
The thick of college. So it's just like kind of this.
Speaker 13 (35:12):
Just hearing this song, it's like wow, yeah, yep, that's life.
And I mean, I just enjoy their music.
Speaker 6 (35:18):
I think they're I think they're a great duo.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
So what's their like kind of main genre.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
It's definitely.
Speaker 13 (35:27):
It's pop, for sure, but it's kind of it's definitely
like kind of fluctuated over the years.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
It's definitely more it's pretty like pop.
Speaker 13 (35:36):
Kind of like more like kind of indie pop style,
not really like you know, it's not like super loud, bubbly, colorful.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
Yeah, like say like K pop for example.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Right, it's so cool.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, I definitely have to give that a listen. I
feel like Sundial you said sundown. Yeah. I feel like
there's a Paramore song that's kind of like that called
I think it's called running out of Time, which is
about the same thing I always running out of time,
very relatable.
Speaker 13 (36:02):
So did you mentioned like a like the lyrics, like
one of them specifically is like the exact wording escapes me.
But it's like, oh, you know, I got a box
of chocolates from you know. I think it was like
my friend or someone gave it to me. It looks
pretty fancy, but I never got a chance to eat
them before they all melted away, which I feel is
(36:24):
very encapsulating the whole experience.
Speaker 11 (36:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Absolutely, that's a wonderful song. Thank you for telling us.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I think I should go. Yeah, but I really enjoyed
talking about music.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, dude, it's so interesting.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Another song just before I go, he wrought out like
conceptual music. Are you familiar with the band Tally Hall.
Tally Hall was was a band that existed a while back,
and one concept that one of their songwriters really enjoy
was the concept of infinity. And one of their like
(37:05):
top songs is not the top song is this strange
song called Ruler of Everything. Ruler of Everything is weird
to listen to, and the music video kind of doesn't help,
but it kind of tells the story of a guy
called Juno basically meeting some type of God. Most people
interpret it as time, and the idea is that like
(37:28):
Juno is humanity and time mocks humanity for like all
their frivolous little things and tries to make Juno realize
like the messed up things that it does, like you're
not even a person, You're like a mimicry of anything
you think will make you look better. And it flows
into like the concept of infinite because he keeps doing it,
(37:49):
he ends up in these loops and Time knows all
and sees all of it. And the music video actually
kind of ends on starts on like a zoom in,
and then after the music video ends on a zoom out.
So if you loop it, you can see that goes
in and out and do you know Key's ending up
in this little tiff with Time itself. Yeah, it's weird
(38:12):
to listen to, and a lot of music from Tally
Hall kind of has like these quirky ideas of what
a song is. But I highly recommend it if you're
kind of looking for something kind of like upbeat and
fun but also has their weird moments. Yeah, so it
is anyways, I have to run.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Lauren has replaced Sebastian.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
Now, Hi, hey guys, first time hosting a little nervous
feel in the chair.
Speaker 8 (38:42):
You can oh, oh oh well wait, that's kind of
rude of them.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
How does it feel sitting in the chair.
Speaker 8 (38:49):
It feels really cool, Like this is really powerful, like
you guys can see everything. I love it. I like
to sit too. Normally I'm just awkwardly pacing, which is fun.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (38:59):
Keeps me on my toe, literally, but I do.
Speaker 14 (39:02):
I like this.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah, it's so Coming to college, I think I was
like super nervous about being homesick, and I feel like
music was something that I relied on heavily to like
connect me back to people that were at home and
that I missed. And one of them is still Chicka
Tita by Abba, which is the one that's like Chiita me,
(39:27):
what's wrong?
Speaker 9 (39:29):
Song?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, the one section of it went super viral on
TikTok like a couple of years ago. It's part where
it like ramps up super fast.
Speaker 8 (39:40):
Maybe that's that might.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
Be why I know it.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Yeah, no, no, a lot of people know that way,
Like so many songs that I know come from Instagram
meals and TikTok. But yeah, so I hate to be
that person. But me and my best friend Corey from home,
uh found that song before it got popular on TikTok
and something that that section and that is like our song, Like,
(40:04):
that's our hype up song. We listen to it every
time we're in the car together, and that section we like,
it's all instrumental, that section, but we still came up
with words to sing to it, if that makes sense,
Like we made sounds with their mouths.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Music.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
Do you want to share?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 13 (40:28):
Boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 8 (40:31):
Boom boom boom.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
So wow.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Now people at home can do that as well. When
the yeah people to sing along. Yeah, it's super special.
So that lets me think of my best friend Corey.
Speaker 8 (40:43):
That's so wonderful.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah. Do you have anything like that that reminds you
of people at home?
Speaker 9 (40:49):
I'm trying to think my friends from home have way
cooler music tastes than I do. I would describe myself
as an indulger in pop music. So whenever I'm like
thinking of like songs that like me and my friends
listen to, it's never like my music. It's always their music.
My friends are really into like soft like indie type
(41:10):
of things. You know, it was really specialist. I don't
know if you went to spang last year, but they
played men Men I trust was there. I love men
I trust, and that was like something that me and
my friends would listen to all the time. Big men,
I trust fan. They have a song called Lauren Great
Song Good.
Speaker 8 (41:28):
So that was pretty cool to hear live.
Speaker 9 (41:29):
But yeah, I feel like I'm not a good host
for this episode because I love basic music.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
No, that is so real and it's okay. Who's like
the number one artists you have that you're like a
little bit insecure about because you're so popular.
Speaker 8 (41:47):
Probably Taylor Swift. I'll be the first to come on
here and talk about Taylor Swift. I just like her music.
I like I like the lyrics.
Speaker 9 (41:56):
I'm a big lyrics person, so I like when like
songs have good lyric That's more important than like the
way it sounds for me. So I really like her lyrics.
Who else I'm trying to remember my top three artists.
Speaker 8 (42:08):
I really like Rihanna to a lot of Rihanna.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Where has she Been?
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Where a No?
Speaker 8 (42:17):
Where has she Been? I love her makeup line, but
we want an album, we want an album. Where's the Yeah?
I love I love Rihanna, I love God. Who else?
Speaker 4 (42:29):
Sissa?
Speaker 9 (42:30):
I love Sissa Great? So was my number two most
listened to artists? Last year when her new album came
out in I think it was last winter maybe fall. Yeah,
you can ask my roommate from last year. It was
the only thing I listened to for months on end,
which is wild.
Speaker 8 (42:50):
I never got tired of it.
Speaker 7 (42:51):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (42:51):
I still love that album s O s by Sissa.
Great album.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
It's really good and like the X one, I'm like Kimma, like, yeah,
super popular, but man, it's good. It's so good.
Speaker 6 (43:06):
I have no.
Speaker 9 (43:08):
Like, I have no shame in playing that song even
though it played on the radio for like six months.
People probably hate it, and I have no bad feelings
to my ex either. I just think it's a fun song.
Love that song.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
I'm gonna get these guys with this.
Speaker 6 (43:22):

a podcast made by k C b R where we
come out in Dexter Lawn every so often and post
a question to anybody walking by. And this week it
is what is a song or album that means.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
A lot to you?
Speaker 1 (44:24):
I'll give you, guys a moment ste maybe a song
that's helped you through this horrifying E class.
Speaker 6 (44:29):
Oh oh, I was listening to a Nirvana song in
our cockies class today.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Which song?
Speaker 6 (44:34):
Trying to remember which one it was. It was on
like the box Tapes album like you Know You're Right
by your Nirvana? I think that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Van's really good man case. Parre is actually one of
the first colleges to play Nirvana on college radio. Pretty interesting,
very interesting. I think I think that's true.
Speaker 7 (44:52):
I hope.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
So what about you guys. It doesn't have to do
with E. It can just be a song that means
a lot to you.
Speaker 15 (44:58):
Well, an album that meant lot to me was The
Neil Theater a g R. It was the first concert
that I went to with one of my friends. I
remember I used to live in Colorado. If you guys
know the Red Rocks Theater. We didn't know how to drive,
so we had to walk all the way back down
to the main road mile and the cars were all
(45:18):
packed and jammed, So that was kind of scary experience,
but at the same time it's very memorable.
Speaker 6 (45:23):
I don't know, just HR is a kind of weird artist,
but at the same time relatable.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
It's like, you know, life is not going well, but
so was everyone else is.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Yeah, that's so cool. HR is really cool. He's the
one that did what's his biggest song?
Speaker 6 (45:38):
I feel like, I know there's like three of them,
like like a week or a week like like like
not strong.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Yeah that kind of sounds familiar. Yeah, that's awesome. What
about you.

We've been getting a lot of metal heads. Is that
okay to say? Yeah, we've been getting a lot of
metal podcast.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
When do you like to listen to metal? Like all
the time when you're in a certain mood.
Speaker 6 (47:08):
Not studying.
Speaker 14 (47:09):
I like studying quiet, but whenever I'm doing something like
working out or something like metal.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
One guy actually recommended that people listen to metal while
they work out. Do you think there's like a significant
difference between like listening to metal or like rap when
you work out?
Speaker 14 (47:25):
Uh, I don't really know. I guess it gets you energized,
like gets you mad or something. He gets your emo.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah, we have two new people. I'm so excited.
Speaker 6 (47:37):
Let's say recently rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah, returning to the classics, that is really good. Is
that the one where he goes what Tomato?
Speaker 6 (47:50):
I don't think so, I do think that.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
No, you know the one it's like is this sixy Ladies?
Speaker 7 (48:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (48:01):
He's like what.
Speaker 6 (48:04):
Yeah, so quick to walk away?
Speaker 3 (48:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
You get it?
Speaker 12 (48:12):
You get it?
Speaker 1 (48:14):
What kind of what kind of mood does that put
you in?
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Just like a good mood, like vibe and what about You?
Speaker 16 (48:21):
My favorite album of all time would be Savage Mode too,
because it takes me back to like twenty twenty, like
late summer of COVID.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
It's an iconic time, very iconic.
Speaker 1 (48:31):
Yeah. What kind of genre is it?
Speaker 7 (48:33):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (48:33):
It's rap rap?
Speaker 16 (48:34):
Yeah, Morgan Freeman's on it, so no way, Yeah, it's good.
He does like little narrations between the songs.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
How do they get him on there?
Speaker 16 (48:43):
I don't know they just got him on, because when
I was first listening to it, I was like, no way,
they actually got him on and I looked it up.
Speaker 6 (48:52):
I thought they had like a voice actor or something.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
That's crazy that that sounds like it goes pretty hard.
So we heard from lots of different people. We heard
about what people listen to when they're stressed, when I
think of their family, what else, So.
Speaker 2 (49:07):
Many different things. It's just songs that mean a lot
to people in the moment or in the past, remind
them of family, or just even like you know, high
school crushes, high school crushes, their own little moments, you know,
just like the professor was talking about, you know, watching
a movie, I believe, yeah, just the climax of the movie,
(49:27):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
Yeah, yeah, So many cool different things that remind people
of music and what it means to them. I think
it's super special.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
I would love to do another music episode in the future.
By the way, just putting that out there, there's just
so much unexplored.
