I'm Marley, and I'm Mikayla andyou're listening to on the playlist and
I heard Radio New Music podcast.All right, how we been? Hello?
I think it's been a minute sinceI've seen everyone in the same room.
I know, but you've been yousaw Marley, I know Michaela.

(00:23):
I hate to say it, youmissed out, you miss oh Man stage
Coach, good time. I wastexting Mikaela every day. I miss you.
I wish it wasn't even like everyday, it was truly every ten
minutes too. I miss you.Yeah, I wish you're here. Hello,
I'm just we're here now. It'sjust good. Welcome back on the
playlist. My name is John.We got Marley here, Hellokayla check it

(00:44):
in. Hey. We went tostage Coach last weekend. It's spent some
time, so we won't spend toomuch time recapping this. But we thought
that Michaela was going to join us. We found her a cheap ticket,
an unheard of cheap ticket. MightI say three hundred dollars If you're not
familiar, is just on steal.It's a steal. She basically kicked a
baby stole its cane, and that'show good of a deal that, My
god, but we missed you.It was overall a great time. Don't

(01:07):
you mar any of my texts.It's okay you text us. Honestly,
I sent one that was really funny, and I thought, you guys are
going to respond with like this.I did respond. I did respond,
But she responded later and was like, I don't even know what you said.
I think I just disregarded it.But yeah, she got it.
I did. When I got it, I laughed at it. I was
the text. No, I can'tsay that you can read it. We

(01:30):
can't talk about it here. Ohplease go and scroll. And I need
your reaction on this. I mean, my fund's using. You're right,
But now I'm curious because I don'tremember a single text from you that weekend.
Well, John, just be honest, you're not the best text.
Also, and was sober for avery minimum amount of time throughout that weektid,
John, who was your favorite actyou saw? Let's start there,
all right, this is gonna soundlike the most John answered, But I

(01:53):
genuinely do mean this nickelback. Yeah, was electric dude, I was so
sick, so good, and Ijust to all the Nickelback haters, let
me tell you you're missing out.I'm starting to think they don't exist.
No, why do we why arethe haters? I am convinced that people
just love to hate them. Idon't think it's like an actual hate.

(02:15):
I think people just love to hatethem. People were just told to hate
them, and then we all justlike jumped on board because it was like
the cool thing. And then allof a sudden, we're like, wait,
why do we hate them again?Because every song is a banger,
and not only that, like everyoneknows a bunch of their songs. Yeah,
because they're iconic. They're all iconic. And when I was looking out
in that crowd because they closed outnight one of stage coach, I was

(02:36):
just looking around and everyone knew allthe words, and everyone just looked like
they've been waiting their whole lives tosee Nickelback, and I was like,
this is just amazing. I don'tand fact check me if you will,
but I heard that Nickelback closing outFriday night was the biggest crowd they've had.
Dude for a late night set.I believe it. We got there
kind of late, and by lateit was twenty minutes early, but still

(02:58):
it was so crowded that we werevery very Can we to push through people
just to get next to a speaker? Yeah, it was crazy. We
tried to find you and there werejust there were too many people. Oh
my gosh. Yeah, that's right. I didn't text you guys. So
I'm going to Nickelback. Who wasyour favorite siet of the weekend? I
was going to say Nicolback. Iwas going to honestly Post Malone, Yeah,
that was going to be my secondfavorite, and then Leon Bridges.
Yeah. I think what's cool isnope, like everyone came with their a

(03:23):
game, like no one disappointed.If you're going into that weekend, I
would have said that Nickelback and postMalone would have been my top two after
the weekend, those were my toptwo. Yeah, and Leon Bridges was
great too. He was so goodRayah all the time. Who are you
going to get banned from the appfor saying that? Yeah? Master them
or tried to. I liked them. But yeah, do you get a

(03:46):
profile song on RYA, don't you? Yeah? So I'm curious do you
use your own music like, doesLeon Bridges use a Leon Bridges song?
I don't think so, yeah,kind of cringey? You did, right?
What's mine? Like John Mayer,who I've heard is on Riya if
he used his you know, slowdancing and she could though you know,
I don't know, I don't know. It's an iconic song. Huh.

(04:08):
Yeah, I'm trying to I haveJoan as mine, but I'm trying to
think of the song. I knowit's Joan, but what's on today?
Wow, Mikayla, how did youget on Riya? I think just from
working in iHeart really I had itfor years. Yeah, I remember when
when I was a producer for theSeacrest Show. I like, you tried
to use that to get on Riotand no thanks? And then I thought

(04:31):
that that was funny, so Iscreenshotted that. And then that was a
strike and I was like, no, that because you can't screenshot on Riya.
And I thought, oh, maybethat only applies when you get your
par That's stupid that I'm not evenaccepted for Riya yet and I still can't
even screenshot anything in that. That'sone strike for even getting on it.
I think I'm still on the waitlist for years. Yeah, stupid,
And then I feel like, onceyou're on the waitlist, what if you

(04:54):
blew up as a celebrity overnight,you can't reapply? No, Rya,
Like I I've heard it's kind ofunderrated or overrated. I think it was
can't be that effective how No,But I'm saying I think it was better
back in the day because now somany people get accepted. But I keep
it because I feel like it's morethese people that are on this app are

(05:16):
looking more for a relationship. Yeah, yeah, you know where it's more
professional. I guess I would say, because you have like a name in
a reputation to turnish, you knowwhat I mean. It's not like people
are just going on there using theirworst pickup lines, just trying to be
nudes or whatever exactly right. Yeah, Like I don't want if I get
one more what's your snapchat from hingeor I'm honestly done. You get less

(05:38):
of that on Riya, you don'tget it. I haven't got that ever
on Riya. Nice, that iskind of nice. Okay, I'm back
on on Ryan. No not hatingRyat's talk about some new music. Let's
plug in our ox so text messagesfrom us in our group chat. Last

(06:00):
I just overwhelmed by the amount ofmusic that came out last night. Kind
of a sleeper week because I didn'texpect that. No, and I was.
I knew that there was a fewcoming out this Friday that I was
really excited for. But the minutethat I opened the app to like see
all of the new releases, Iwas like, oh, oh, this
is an album. Oh here's anEP. Oh oh no, it was

(06:20):
a dang. Definitely felt the sameway. So let's run through some of
them. I guess we can startwith the I think the biggest drop is
the new album from Dua Lipa.I gotta say though, I was shocked
by this because I feel like fromher singles that came out like Oudini Training
Season, all of these bangers here, I think I thought the entire album

(06:43):
was going to sound like this sameJohn. I was shocked. I agree.
It was so diverse, and creditto her for that. I loved
it the album more than I thoughtI would, and if they were all
du A Liipa's standard bangers, Iwould have been happy. Well yeah,
But I think that's probably why itwas such a shock because to your point
point Houdini training season on all ofthese like classic dance TRACKSPA tracks that she

(07:05):
usually drops, but there are somethere are some good ones in there.
That's I ever like different opinion.I don't think this was my favorite one
of her albums really. I mean, I don't think it's my favorite album
of hers per se, but Idid like that it was different than Yeah,
definitely what she usually puts. Ifeel like she's going back to like
her music's been reminding me of,is the eighties. Can I say that

(07:27):
like kind of like disco e,Like I think that was the point of
this one a little bit. It'salways been her vibe. It's like a
like a disco funk, but likeyou know, electronic pop was like every
song of Rules has new Rules thefirst album, Yeah, I think so
with the Yeah it has to bethat one. This one feels like more

(07:48):
mature. You know that she's gettingolder, and that's kind of what I
got for this one. I agree. The last song on the album,
it's called Happy for You, andjust listening to some of the lyrics in
the open here, like it soundslike a very mature du Alip paid on
a Tuesday a spite you was sohappy. I could just tell she's really
pretty. I think she's a mudbaby. It's a good So she's looking

(08:15):
at this relationship she used to haveand just being genuinely happy for them,
and like that's a mature feeling.And I was seeing this interview that she
did with Zay Low I love him, be too mad. All of his
interviews are always so good. Ilike shout out to Zaye Low. I
love him. He's one of myidols. Like I just look at him
and I'm like, I want tobeat you. He's so cool. But
she was saying that, like,this is a song she couldn't have written

(08:37):
on the first two of her albumsbecause she just wasn't at a place in
her life where she could be genuinelyhappy for someone that she was in a
relationship with. But now she's gonethrough so much maturity that she can look
back on those and be like,oh, I'm kind of happy. So
I feel like that reflects her likegetting older in this album, you know.
Yeah, I also kind of likethat it's a little bit more toned
down, Like you can hear hervocals more shine. This is truly incredible.

(09:01):
I know there's not another artist thatsounds like her. I agree,
she got this. She's got thisballad called anything for Love, and I
think the voice shines in there.And what I liked about this one is
you got a little bit of both. You got a little bit of ballad
dua lipa over piano, and thenit kind of goes into a fun beat
again and it will never feel likeit's too mine. Who else should do

(09:24):
anything for her? Okay? Okay, so good forever. So that's why
I like this album. I feellike we get a little bit of that
from there, you know what Imean. Sounds like, did you guys
have any favorites from the album?These Walls? Yeah, is my favorite
that I think was my favorite.The next single she's pushing these if the

(09:54):
like, I love I love it. I love saying I've been not stop
playing this. I also just lovethat like analogy of like if these Walls
could talk, Like I know,it's a very I don't know, maybe
I mean yeah, but I lovethat because it's true, like every time
you see something you're like, oh, you don't know what's going on behind

(10:16):
closed doors. It's just it's sucha Yeah, I love it. It's
like the walls here you arguing orwhatever. So it's like, if these
walls could talk, they'd be like, it's time to break, right,
yeah right. It's almost like adog too, like if your dog could
talk, like I always say,like your dog, like imagine everything that
they hear, Like they have secrets, they have the hold everything. Oh,

(10:43):
if they could talk and be,they'd be little bastards because they would
literally ruin your life. They'd belike, I'm gonna threaten you, like
because cats are like that. Yeah. I feel like they'd be little kids
about it too, where like theydon't unders stand what was going on,
so they just rat you out outof nowhere, honest. Yeah, because
they're they're so cute though I can'teven but they're evil. Yeah. Sometimes

(11:13):
I feel like I've always heard ifthese walls could talk in like a reminiscing
like college tone, Like my roommatesand I have sometimes gone to our old
dorm rooms or whatever, and we'llbe like, if these walls could talk,
Oh yeah, sure. But that'swhy I like this, and I
feel like it was a different wayto use that that analogy nothing, but
that's why I like. That's whyI like that analogy because you can use

(11:33):
it in so many different definitely differenttones and ways. So so yeah,
dua lipa album. Loved it.I loved it more than I thought I
would. Maybe it's just because I'mgetting older too, but I liked that
it was a little bit mellow inmore areas than I'm used to. I
think that's why. Yeah, Ithink that's why I liked it too.
It just showed her vocal range moreand it gave a little bit more.
Yeah, you know, completely agree. Different. Another album that honestly did

(11:58):
more for me than I was expectingwas this new EP from Quinn ninety two.
Because I gotta be honest here thePeople's champ his last album. It
wasn't my favorite, and I loveQuent ninety two, but I didn't really
mess with that album as hard asI wanted to, and I went in
thinking that this EP Breakfast was gonnabe the same, but it was full
of bangers. Every single one wasa bop for me personally. Obviously,

(12:20):
Pasadena is one that we know ofthe December the specifically say I Love You,
and I liked this one a lot, so I was I was nervous
that I wasn't going to like therest, but I feel like the ep
idea is cool. He's having threethat come out this year, Breakfast,

(12:43):
Lunch, and Dinner. This one'scalled Breakfast, and I listened to Cruel
Love first and just like, thevibe alone hooked me immediately. Like I
was making pasta in my kitchen Todayslast night and I was like, so,

(13:09):
I gotta say, Quinn, thisone, this one made me really
really happy. See I have adifferent opinion on it, though I know,
I know, I'm sorry. Okay, So I I didn't I agree
with you on the People's Champ likeI really wanted to like it. A
Letter to my Younger Self was abanger of an album. Breakfast I was

(13:30):
really excited about because to your point, Pasadena was such a great too.
It's easily the best of that EPI think. I didn't really like.
None of the other ones really stuckout to me, which I was really
excited about because I used to reallylike Kyle. I was really excited about
the one with Kyle. Oh,that's cool up the one that you just
played. I was really excited aboutthat one, and it just like didn't

(13:52):
do it. I didn't do itfor me? Interesting, I know,
But Close Calls was I think thethe second one that stood out to me.
Okay, close Calls, Yeah,yeah, I like that. But
other than that, I was like, oh, okay, did you get
a chance to listen to this newDominic Fike? Yes? I did.
Oh my god, that finally thatviral one that's been going around TikTok missus

(14:15):
came out and this is just like, it just sounds like summer to me.
I think I forgot how to worryabout anything, like, oh my

(14:37):
god, He's just got such aspecific sound and I'm obsessed with it and
it doesn't It's so interesting how uniqueit is. Yeah, I feel like
if I was another artist, Iwould just listen to Dominic Fi can be
like, God, damn it,why couldn't I come up with it?
Right? Right? It seems sosimple, but it's just so unique in
its own way. Like I'm like, oh, yeah, that is dominic
fun. Yeah. When I listenedto it last night, to be honest,

(15:01):
I was more into like the instrumentsand the production of it rather than
the lyrics. I agree, tothe point where I zoned out and I
was like he could be speaking gibberish, and I would still be so obsessed
with everything that he's putting out rightnow. And some of them had like
the vocals were even in such weirdfilters. Yes, because he does that,
like he has like such a specificway that he puts out music and

(15:22):
how his like it's just I don'tknow how else to describe it, but
it's just how it's dominant spike soundlike, it's just how he sounds,
and I'm obsessed with it. AndI'm glad that we didn't have to wait
long for this one because I justsaw it trend on TikTok within the last
I don't know, maybe week ortwo. I didn't even see it trend
on TikTok. It was just thissong that was trending because I think he
dropped the music like a fourteen minutemusic video. Yeah, and so people

(15:43):
pulled it from there and was likewhat's coming, Like when is this going
to drop? I will say thisalso sounded very much like his older stuff,
Yeah, like that Don't Forget AboutMe demos, like it has a
very similar vibe to those to thatalbum, which is also a great EP.
I completely agree. Okay, Iwant to run through a fun real
quick before we wrap up. Becausea song, a single this time that

(16:04):
surprised me was Risk by Gracie Abrams. This was one of my favorites of
the week. He actually investing,haven't even that? Watch This be the
Long Thing? Classic, God jumpin the deep It's more fun to swim
The risk is john in because I'mgoing to take it. I love that

(16:27):
analogy of the deep end being morefun to swim in. Yeah. I
was like, oh, that's cooland this is the risk and I'm gonna
take it. Yeah, and watchhave This Be the Wrong One? Classic
of course. Yeah, but likewho cares, I'm gonna do it anyway.
I really did like that one too, being into someone that you've never
even met yet. That's why Ilike this one. It was a little
bit delusional, yeah, but fun. We love a delusion behavior. Speaking

(16:52):
of our little sad girls, HollyHumberstone's two new songs, We're just awesome.
We can come back to those ifyou want to know, please keep
because I just wanted to really justtouch on Antichrist because it's with tiny habits
and just all of them together.I liked this song. Originally it wasn't
one of my favorites on her lastep, but with Tiny Habits, I

(17:14):
just I felt like this was asong out of heaven sheshed, like what
the harmonies in there, John's levitatingoff of his cherry tod. I just
listened to this whole song, andI listened to it like three times last
night. Yeah, I just I'vebeen a big fan of Tiny Habits recently,

(17:34):
I've really gotten to know them overthe last couple of weeks. They've
done stuff with Lizzie McAlpine, JG. Sacks, like all of the
artists that we really get into.M hmm. So just this one just
took me for a while. Seemine was Cocoon featuring Medium Build, Like
tell me that their voices don't likethey were meant to be sung together.

(17:56):
Like, oh, it was sogood. I loved that one, which
one of you went to Lewis Capaldiwhen he was in La Me. Yeah,
I love him because Media Build openedup for him and that was the
very first time I heard of meand oh, yes, they were so
good, so good, so good. Yeah, And now he's opening up
for Holly and so they've been obviouslyspending some time together and I'm sure that's
why they did this track, Butyou're right, like they just it just

(18:18):
sounds. It was such a perfectpairing in my mind, I was like,
this is incredible and I love thatsong regardless. So it was great
great remixes there, and then thelast one I want to really talk about
it was I don't know. Ilistened to it and it was a little
bit of a heavier one. Doyou know who Blue Eyes is? Yes,
she came out with a new songcalled used to Be Pretty, And

(18:38):
when I listened to it, like, I had to stop for a second
because it just gave me an interestingthought. And I'm gonna let you play.
I'm gonna let you hear a littlebit of the chorus here because she'll
explain it better than I will.N So she's essentially talking about how she

(19:03):
looks in the mirror, and shealways compares herself to this past image of
what she used to look like.Oh, that's so real. So she's
said at twenty three, like Ijust missed my body at nineteen, like
why don't I look like that?Oh my gosh. And that pressure that
you put on yourself to look likethis past version of yourself, that's not
realistic because our bodies do grow andmature and age, Yeah, and that's
normal and natural, and sometimes it'sso hard to realize that. But then

(19:26):
even at nineteen, you're comparing yourselfto your sixteen year old self and that
cycle never ends. But also sometimesat nineteen year or sixteen, you want
to look nineteen or twenty three,so you never actually like happy even though
we should be. Yes, butthere's so many celebrities and artists and even
me, like if I wasn't happywith the way I looked in high school,
but then I look back and I'mlike, well, I wish I

(19:48):
looked like that against Eve and howI looked then, or like I was
insecure about certain things. But it'slike, just appreciate what you have now,
you know, And I try to. She closes with this line where
she says, like I've I'm justso scared that I'm just going to go
through my life always thinking I usedto be pretty, And that just like
hit me for a sec out,Like what if you never accept yourself for

(20:08):
who you are and you're just alwayscomparing yourself to a past version of you
and you never get to just enjoywhere you are, Like and some people
don't. I know, you know, and that's that makes me sad.
I know. I was like,damn, what an important song to hear.
Yeah, you know, like especiallyI think girls have to go through
that pressure a little bit harder,but like anyone can really feel that.
And I was like, wow,just I don't know that one took me.

(20:30):
I was like I had to bringthat one up because I felt like
that was just an important one there. Sot Blue Eyes credit to you.
Man. All Right, I'm gonnatake out my ox. Who wants to
have it next? Okayla can takeit. I think I will. Okay,
we're in a bigger room today,so it's throw further apart what you
got. So going off of asong, the song that you just talked

(20:51):
about, another sad one called Kidsby Sasha Alex Sloan. I really love
her music, but there's times morerecently as our parents are getting older,
and I feel like we talk aboutthis a lot on I hate what you're
doing this on this podcast, butyou know it's almost like, yeah,
your parents take care of you whenyou're young, but as they get older,
and you know, their grandparents areolder ages, you start taking care

(21:15):
of them. So it's like areverse cycle and this song is about that,
and she just I was crying listeningto this last night. I'll take
care of you, you too,kid with me? Have you to by
your gross sweet love you zou justlike you one day before we know it

(21:45):
parents speak the kid. Wow,Wow, my heart, I'm not emotion
to us that like is one ofthe saddest Yeah, but it's so real.
It's so real and just on somany levels, because like, you
don't want to see someone who waswhen you were a kid just the strongest

(22:06):
person that you knew in this worldas your parents, you know, you
think they can do anything, andthen to see them become so fragile.
It's just I'm thinking about my parentsright now and I could immediately, I
know. And then it just makesyou realize how old you're getting and how
fast your life's going by, andjust that it's just at so many angles.
It's sad. And Mary's well,I'm always crying. I really bout

(22:30):
allergies these days. No, it'sreal, though I get that I am
partially it's bad. I love hermusic and that song just wow in her
voice, I know she feels sheis I think she opened for Laney,
right she did? Really? Yeah? Back at where did we see them
trying? I know it was theHouse of Blows and Anaheim, but it
was the same tour. Oh yeah, a couple of years the same week

(22:51):
though, Yeah, a couple oftours back yeah, yeah for the pandemic.
Yeah, pre pandy, Pandy allright and the next one, you
guys are gonna be proud of me. Okay, okay, because it's contry.
Okay. Russell Dickerson literally always releasessummer bops. It's poppy, met

(23:15):
him a bunch of times, workwith them at Iheartfest, Country Fest,
a bunch of times. Nicest guy, love his wife, his son,
his children are the cutest. Butthis song good day to have a good
day, Well, are going toturn our sadness right now upside down because
this song just makes you happy.Count for these sunseuse So it's a good

(23:37):
day to have a great day outhere, as it's sometimes you just need
to have a good day to helpyou get through the next one. Breach,
okay, preach, and that isjust wipe. Those tears were five

(24:02):
minutes ago. We had moved on. It is country summertime, it is,
but Honestly, all of these songsI feel like are are going to
be on a summer playlist. Yeah, like all of them are ready and
made for summer. Besides the one, the sad, the way that he's
been he's been teasing this song,I have been waiting. I was like,
please just drop the song. Butyeah, no, I actually think

(24:26):
that if you were having the worstday, if you put that song on,
you would at least be a littlebit happier. It might be a
good day to have a good day. Actually, in a research show,
it might. It might actually bethe way he sings this song. You
can tell he's smiling. I know. I just feel like him jumping around
with this song. It's cool thatyou can hear that yeah and singing and
talking sometimes. Yeah. I likethat. Yeah, that one is truly

(24:48):
going to be on repeat. Ithink this summer for sure. Sneaky one
has been shaboozy. That's like numberone on the country charts right now,
and that is my favorite country summersong. I saw him performing at Stagecoach.
He was Yeah, he was reallygood. M M yep. So
then one more song. We've talkedabout this by the Marias No One noticed.

(25:10):
Okay, I didn't know how Ifelt about it at first, but
then I was like, this hasbeen on repeat all morning, all morning.
I love it. I just thinkthat it's so different and it's almost
like such a soft viby tone.It transports you somewhere else, like I
just want to sit on the beach, even when it's raining. I want
to sit on the beach and I'mgonna just enjoy life and I'm gonna vibe.
But the part that I picked forthis song is like very little music.

(25:38):
It's so vocal, but then itgoes into the harmonies and I'm just
I'm transported. I just don't knowwhere I am to city, excited to
see a Fay console me and thenI leave with the Chase. Come it
can be okay that like you wantto know what I heard? Oh no,

(26:07):
what I heard Bermuda, but that'sdone and cook them again. Yeah,
excited. I want to take itto Bermuda and then Chase. This

(26:37):
is like evening at the beach.Yeah that's what I said, even in
the rain, I don't care.I'm listening to this and I really liked
that. I guess Maria from thisgroup is going to be in the studio
in like two weeks. So yeah, they said we could have her on
the podcast. Maybe we should haveher on. Maybe we should be cool
because this song and these walls havebeen on repeat. Yeah, I'm with
you. I love it. Dis that it for you? That is

(26:59):
it? Ud? Okay? Takingthat your own? I need it back
because we missed last week. Wejust got to mention we do have to
make it last week that we're onrepeat for me. We got love released
the new song potential, but istell me no it's dispensed. Somebody should

(27:23):
This one was a bop, soboppy, but also you know, he
just came out kind of as youknow, into guys so bye, I
think, but I don't want to. Yeah, I think. He said
this is the first song he's releasedofficially being out. Yeah, he teased
it on the socials. He cameout with some other stuff without officially saying
it, but he said this islike the first one kicking off this new

(27:45):
air for him. And I loveit and I love to think about it
in a different way too, likeyou can have potential with anybody, you
know, But he is always releasingbobs. Honestly, I'm obsessed with him,
and he's to tour. I needto see him and then our guy
Johnny Yeah Capetti from Nightly. Hereleased the song called the Angel Face.

(28:18):
I was excited for the drum partthat comes. But we love him and
he's coming out with a new song. He already teased it already, he
teased it. I saw it lastnight and I can't wait. It's a
little bit more upbeat than this becauseit's very viby, but similar tone.
It's so interesting because I feel likeI could kind of see Nightly doing this

(28:40):
sound. Yeah, but I getwhy he wanted to branch out to do
this, you know what I mean, at least so far. He definitely
different for sure. You know,it's not Nightly vibe. It's very coffee
shop vibes. But also that likevibe sound just like the Marias is so
in right now, dude, Yeahit is, and I'm so about it.

(29:04):
I'm about it. It just liketransports you. It really does.
I said earlier. It was theperfect way because it just puts me in
a different place. I get totune out of reality a little bit.
Definitely like driving music, yes,and I spend so much time driving all
of us do in LA. Yeah, I agree. It's perfect for late
night drives when like the street linestart to blur together. Oh that doesn't

(29:26):
sound safe. Yeah. Sometimes I'mlistening and I don't know how I got
home. Oh they ever have thosemoments, dude, Yeah you're driving,
I will drive. Well, it'sbecause I feel like, you know when
you're driving the same route, Yeah, route, however you want to say
it in your memory every day.Yeah, sometimes I think about that too.
I'm like, hello, there areso many times I'm on my way
to work. Did I get here? Because it's like three forty five in

(29:48):
the morning. Sometimes and you knowyour route, but you know, like
you know key points of your route. You're like, oh, I know
that sign, I know that McDonald'sor whatever, Like I know where I'm
at, But for my commute,that's probably fifteen minutes in the morning.
Like, there are so many placesI don't recognize. So if I'm zoning
out and then I zone back in, I'm what freeway am I miss my
I don't know, and I haveto pull out mass and be like,

(30:08):
oh no, I'm on the sameroute that I'm on everything everything all day.
I just don't recognize this areay?Can I tell you something You're gonna
laugh at me? Yea. Eventhough I know where I'm going all the
time besides work, I always putmy GPS on. I need it because
I drive past my street because I'mlistening to music and I'm paying attention.
So it's my ex like my Idon't even know like my internal direction like

(30:30):
as long and it's there. Yeah, my peripherals need it because if it's
not also kind of street, it'sprobably like a like a safety bumper too.
Like you're like if I do zoneout, I can look down and
be like, oh, I'm stillon the right track. Does your siri
yell the directions at you? No? I hate that. I can hate
it. Part of the song's coming, and she's like, turn left and

(30:51):
it needs it. I'm like,what the heck? Or like in five
hundred feet turn left? No,like you're telling me so no, no,
please, I stop. I hatethat. Stop talking to me.
So I think my ser just went. She's like, hello, hello,
you call okay? Is that foryou? Now? That is okay?
Take it out if you can handthat over tomorrowley quick push Hey, okay,

(31:18):
So I have three that I wantto mention. We're going to start
with my slower one first. It'scalled Told You So by Zach Sebag.
Maybe we don't if we don't tellyou I just like love his voice so

(31:40):
much. He's got like such alike a deep tone to his voice,
and the whole the whole song soundslike that. It's kind of gives me
like Jack Johnson vibes a little bit. But I was really into it.
Songs like this were I just feellike the entire groove of it just feels
like you fall into it. Yeah, and you're just locked in. Yeah,

(32:00):
Okay, And because I love whenyou can hear the layers of vocals.
Yes, with the guitar, there'slike nothing, there's nothing better than
that. And he did it.He did it really well in this song.
So that was Did he perform thisone when you saw him at stage
Coach? No? So unfortunately hisset got cut short because he had some
like technical difficulties. So my friendShelby and I had showed up early to

(32:22):
see him and he only got toperform like half of his set. Yeah
I did. Yeah, he wasa very very nice guy, but yeah,
I was. I was looking forwardto this release. And I really
like it, loved it. Okay. So the next one also saw her
at stage coach Megan Marony, mygirl, Megan Morony. She released a
song called Indifference. He did somehowWait a second, Wait a second,

(33:05):
wait a second. Yeah, Isay she was country. Yes, yes,
that's not because that's my vibe.Did you see me go? I
saw. I saw her perk upthe minute it started playing. I was
like, oh, I know she'sgonna like this. I feel like Megan
Roney is one of the fastest growingcountry stars. Yeah, no, she
and she's incredible live. Yes,we saw her on Sunday me John and

(33:29):
Olivia watched her together and she wasphenomenal. And you and my roommate Brad
knew every word did this song?I know, getting next to me and
he was literally singing everywhere. Iwas like, I love this friend.
Yeah, every word, Marley,and I was so excited that this song
came out. I think it's myfavorite one of hers now. Yeah,
like Tennessee Orange is the one thatblew her up, obviously amazing, sure,

(33:51):
but this one is just I justwant to like like I just want
to like scream the big song.So she was saying that to her,
the last stage of Guild is indifferencewhen you just genuinely don't care what something
anymore, like you're not about it. For being a song about indifference,
like this has got a lot ofrape rage. Yeah, you're just like
getting the last bit out. Myfavorite isn't the chorus when the black vocals

(34:15):
were like, no, I loveso. I loved that one. That
one is I can't She just reallyannounced that she's releasing her second album.
That's right. I think in July, sometimes the summer, sometime this summer,
and I can't wait. She wentfrom this like her first album Lucky

(34:36):
is like this green neon vibe andthe second album is like straight up deep
blue like so I'm I'm intrigued tosee if she'll play into that, like
the color scheme. Maybe, Idon't know. I liked it when she
came on stage like she had abunch of just bedazzled guitars. She's in
a little dress like I love theemo cowgirl rhinestone moment. She's like super

(34:57):
girly and I'm obsessed with it.So I really liked that one a lot.
Third, Oh, I have tobring up Kane Brown and Marshmallow Don't
You There, and their new songMiles on It. It's gonna be another
Russell Dickerson add it to the summerplaylist. Maybe let's go mile zoning back
Gold of Chevy with the end jemrunning just you and me and a truck

(35:22):
bed while like a California can't.We could break it in if you know
what I mean, put some mileson it back, go to Chevy with
the end jem running just you andme and a truck bad while like a
California can't, we could break itin if you know what I mean,

(35:44):
put some This is such a bigso I just kind of love that it's
evolving into what it is, likeit is changing as someone as someone who
grew up listening to like the corecountry artists like George Straight, Toby Keith,
like Tim McGrath, like all ofthose you know what MICHAELA would consider

(36:07):
country country. Yeah, your classiclike I grew up and I still love
classic country of course. But andthere are people who are still doing that,
you know, of course, andthat's still great too. Speaking of
Randy Travis, who is also anicon in you know, the country music
world, dropped his first like littleep that it's like the first time he's

(36:28):
released any music in the last tenyears. Oh my gosh. And he's
you know, older, so it'sit was pretty I guess, like a
special obviously a special release for that, but but yeah, I just kind
of love that country music is evolvingin a way that's genre bending a little
bit. Yeah, between like popand EDM with Marshmallow like that kind of
thing. Like, I just loveit. I think DJ's are doing it

(36:50):
now. You have like hip hopand R and B artists dipping in there.
Yeah, like for a genre toget bigger, like it has to
expand like that, you know,sure, And I think that happened to
M and like twenty six team withthe Chainsmokers, and it became so big
that it almost like transformed in itsown way, and it's not. Country
is doing that right now, andI love it because again, I've always
loved country music, and I feellike a lot of a lot of people
are obviously pretty split on whether theylike it or whether they don't, And

(37:15):
I just feel like it's a goodsegue into maybe everyone loving it. You
know. It's so fun listen tothat and not have a good time.
Give me a beer, Give mea beer, put me by some water,
and let's just have a good gay. Give me a beer, he
says. Wow, oh man,So anyway, fun fact about that beer.

(37:37):
Oh yeah. Two of the guysthat wrote this song used to be
in a band called Before You ExitOkay that I used to see back in
the day. They were actually ontour with Christina Grimmy when she was stragically
really yeah, her show, Andhonestly, they haven't done music really since

(37:58):
that accident incident, but they produceand write a bunch of songs that honestly
are hits. They've written for abunch of huge artists and this is one
of them, and really I thinkit's great, yeah, that they continued
in this way. You know.I also saw Johnny from Nightly also had
a part in this song. That'sright, because him and Kane Brown are
on the same they have the samemanager. Yeah, I liked it.

(38:22):
He was they're talking about how theywant to break in the bed of the
truck and then he goes, ifyou know what I mean, We know
what you mean. You know it'snot that sudding. Oh my gosh,
good song though, But yeah,so those those were my three that I
got for you. That's for you, that's it for me. Are we
going to take this out for quicksec? Oh my gosh, I'm so

(38:43):
sorry. I would be remiss tonot bring this up. Remiss, really
be remissed, Like who are you? This is why you're smart? I'm
a professional. Okay, I mightget some for this. Did anyone like
g Eazy? Back in twenty fourteen, I were talking about Lady Killers,

(39:09):
Got got all my gout on myleather jacket, thriller, the show ain't
nothing, kneller man, I'm alady Killer, I wanner, I'm a
stiller. I promise I could makea flyway like caterpillars. So if you
don't know by now, that age, probably get familiar. If you don't

(39:30):
know by that age, probably getfamiliar. I love this, Okay.
So I was a big Geasy fanback and like, oh my gosh,
yeah big no, Yeah, Kelseytook me to see him for my birthday
in like twenty fifteen. Yeah everyone, oh okay, love that real.
So anyway, Lady Killers three dropped, and I what I loved most about

(39:53):
this was just that first that intro. I was immediately transported. I'm back
into twenty fourteen, I'm in mycollege dorm room, got a Got All
my leather jacket thriller. But alsothe undertone of that song is I think
Tumblr Girls, which is one ofhis most popular songs. So it's like
when I listened to it, Iwas like, ah, I'm not overwhelmed,

(40:15):
I'm transported back to my college dormroom. Wow. Anyway, I
thought that was a really fun release, so I had to bring it up.
No good pick from We're Gonna takethis out, John's I really like
Jesue. What's the what's the onethat has been going viral to with the
girls doing the trend at the beach? Oh that's uh that's Lady Killers.
Oh yeah, like maker like golike poof, Then she's gone, Yes

(40:36):
that's that song. Yeah, gotit. I think. So that brings
it back for the circle of Me. Yeah, Okay, we're gonna go

I wrote one down. I honestlythought we were farther away from the dominic
fac one. But I saw CalvinHarris post a teaser with the song and
he says, guess who the vocaliston it is. It's Miley Cyrus.

(41:20):

but he's got a summer bander comingout with Miley Cyrus. And pumped about
that. Wow, what about you? Marley Valley comes out with a song
