Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Sometimes a good things good. Well, this is lighting in here. I
have seventeen wrinkles on my forehead.It's not great. It's really the lighting.
The lighting's not good. My hairisn't done, so I look like
a shaggy dog. It's fine,you look authentic, I think, Oh
wow, thanks, John should beready. Yeah, what's up. I'm
John, I'm Marley, and I'mMICHAELA. And you're listening to on the
playlist and iHeartRadio New Music podcast.I think we were all out there on

(00:26):
a on a late night last night. All of us were at concerts.
Oh yeah, I hear how theBillie Eilish thing went. Yeah. I
will definitely get to that when wewhen we start talking about Billy's album.
Oh sorry, I jumped to thegun. No, that's okay, that's
okay. I just I just feellike it used to just be such an
easy thing for me to stay outlate, go to work the next day.
I was a high functioning person withno sleep, but now it's just

(00:46):
like, oh, I feel likeI don't work the same on low sleep
anymore. I think we need toestablish a term limit on how when we
have to stop talking about how latenights affect us differently these days. To
be fair, you also start bothof you start way or than I do.
That's true, but I still feellike I don't know. There was
a time I could handle that,but these days I just kind of a
whimp, dude, kind of awhim. Well. The thing is for

(01:08):
me, John, is I'm fineon five hours of sleep if I go
to a concert. But you havea drive so almost like, no matter
what, you won't even probably hitfour. Yeah, harder for you because
you live further. I have twohours to add on to yeah whatever.
It is an hour to get toLa and Alwa to get home. Yeah,
and that does add to it.Yeah, I think you're right,

(01:30):
dude. It's tough, and it'stough no matter what. Like, I
still struggle on those days. ButI'm just like, you know what,
but you also left twenty minutes awayten minutes. Yeah, I was trying
to stay at your guys place lastnight. But to be honest, I
left Billy early. I knew youwould. You are so predictable. Are

(01:52):
the most predictable people I know.I think she was like it started fifteen
minutes later than I was supposed toanyway, and as soon as they made
that announcement, I was like,I'm not staying an announcement. Yeah.
They were like, I think itwas supposed to start at eight forty five.
I was old. Yeah. Andthey went on the intercom at the
forum at like eight fifty and they'relike, do two fans still being outside?

(02:12):
We see the lines are kind oflong. We're not going to start
until nine fifteen. I was likenine to fifteen, I think, thirty
minutes later. I know. Itwas painful. It was so painful.
Can't do math. What did Isay? You said, there's she was
supposed to go on eight forty five, and then they're like fifteen minutes later,
at nine to fifteen. That's thirtyminutes. Yeah, but they made
the announcement at eight fifty, whichthat mass doesn't matter, it doesn't let's

(02:37):
just leave that way about that.How was fly by midnight last night?
Okay, it wasn't five by midnight, so thank you for listening. Well,
it wasn't fly by midnight, sothank you for listening tomorrow night.
Yeah, right, can't keep Oh, people are ugly. Yes, we're
off to a rocky story. Yeah, it's so good. People are ugly
We're so fun, so fun,John, you would have loved I bet

(03:00):
it is it the Mints, right, Yeah. I do love that they
have that sound that just reminds melike I never did like what's it called
Battle of the Bands or whatever inhigh school, but that's exactly how it
felt. I was like just thatpop punk garage, yeah sound to it,
especially being at the Mint because theyou know, sound quality in there

(03:21):
is you know, it's a smallround, so it was amazing. I
was like early two thousands pop punk. Yes, like brought me back.
They were so fun on stage.The audience was so into it. It
was into it wild. I thinkthat's what I really like about the Mints
because it typically is like underrated artiststhat are there, whether them being new
or just like haven't really broken outyet. So I feel like a lot

(03:42):
of artists just come to prove themselvesthere. You know. Yeah, they're
like, yo, we're trying toget someplace. Like I remember seeing the
band Camino there and they acted likeit was a sold out arena and then
like fifteen year oh my gosh,that's right, that's where you saw them
the first time. I do lovethat venue. I don't know why I
had the Mint picture so differently inmy head when you tell that story.
Oh really, Yeah, but Ihadn't been to the Mint. I guess

(04:04):
when you told me that. Idon't know at this time. Oh no,
I think I saw Corey Harper thereonce. Oh I love him.
I went to the Mint for thefirst time with Corey Harper. Fun fact,
is you really I did on thedate? No, no, No,
we were friends and our friend wasperforming, so we had gone out
before then went to the show.Yeah, and he ordered Calamari. Hmm,

(04:28):
he loves Calamari, getting step bystep every factor. Anyway, I
know that Marley was sending me abunch of stuff because I really wish I
would have watched more of the aCMS because I feel like I only saw
the clips from TikTok from it.Yeah, No, Con and Kelsey Bellerini
were supposed to do it together,and I got a glimpse of it on
TikTok and wow do they sound good, good and easy? But you lived

(04:55):
that love to sing Me looks like? And then I think the living for
that. I love both of themseparately, obviously, but when I found
out that they were dueting, Ihad no idea what to expect. I

(05:16):
didn't know that they were going todo a mashup of both of their most
popular songs together. But she's beensnubbed for that album so many times,
and I just feel for her becausethat album is truly a work of art.
Really Rolling Up the Welcome Mat,Oh, that's what that's from?
Yes, Oh yeah, yeah,it's the opening track to Rolling Up the
Welcome Mat. Got it. Thatwhole album is a masterpiece. It's so

(05:38):
good. It was on repeat fora solid three months, I think.
Was it really mm hmm? Andobviously I love Noah Khan, so hearing
that they were doing their duet,I was not expecting them to mash up
both of those at the end,So it was a very I was very
pleasantly surprised because they're two very differentsounds totally, like a mountain with a
view is very sad and you know, like a dreary sound where a stick

(05:59):
season very like, you know,it's a little bit more of a beat
up totally and folky. Yeah,so I thought they did a beautiful job
with that. Oh speaking of therewere so many country artists there and it
reminded me of the soundtrack that iscoming out for the Twister movie? Why
does it feel like they have aCoachella lineup on? There is stacked?
I wish I saw the I wishI saw the trailer. I haven't seen

(06:21):
the trailer yet. I saw thelineup for the lineup. Yeah, Luke
Combs really though, Jelly Roll,Landy Wilson, Megan Maroney, Kane Brown,
Baby Zimmerman, Thomas htt Shanaia Twain, Tyler Childers, Leon Bridges,
Benson Boone. That is, andthat's half the line up stacked? Is

(06:43):
that is? Are they alluding toa stage coach next year? That's I
think a better lineup than I've everseen it in a stage couch. I'm
so sick and like, am Iwrong for this? Well? Twister?
Is that like old classic movie?Right? I think I must have seen
it at some point. I'm sureI have to. I don't know why
I didn't think it was like ahuge deal though, Like was this was
this a major culture movie that wejust were too young for? I guess

(07:06):
I don't know, because I waslike, this soundtrack seems way more stacked
than this movie could possibly be.Yeah, that's a good point. I'm
interested to see where they played thesesongs in the movie though, because it's
a very serious movie. Yeah,you know, and in the trailer.
When I saw it, I didn'tthe music didn't stand out to me because
it's so like action packed, loud, tornado sounds smashing, like you know,

(07:30):
like who's I got that? Butyeah, I mean I always knew
of Twister, and so I thinkit was a classic. Yeah, it
must have been, and there hasn'tbeen a movie since. I also feel
like, I also feel like lowkey the album is making it a bigger

(07:50):
deal than maybe it is. Maybethat's that's their marketing stent. They wanted
to do something. I don't know. I'm just trying to think about hy
it would be such a stacked They'relike, instead, let's use all the
money to just pay a bunch ofartists to have a six soundtrack and then
people see that. Because I probablywouldn't have seen that movie. But now
that the soundtrack's good, I'm like, my, it's really putting it on

(08:11):
my radar. I think the LukeCombs track was released today, Yeah correct,
Yeah, yeah, I forgot thetitle. But some about Oklahoma,
Yeah, yeah, I did seethat all over my TikTok feed too.
This is super random. But didyou see the little kid that went up
with Zach Brian at his concert?No, dude, Zack Brian is playing
a show and there's some kid inthe audience and he's like got his old

(08:31):
Zach Brian shirt on. He's maybeI don't know, ten or twelve,
and he's like a little bit ofa chubbier kid. This cast on and
said you saw this, and he'ssinging his heart out in the crowd.
So Zach Brian brings him up,and the dude just takes it away like
nails the song, like has thetime of his life up there, gets
down and his mother's crying. Andthen I saw it on TikTok and the

(08:52):
mom said she downloaded TikTok just soshe could see all these videos about her
son because I guess like his dadhad recently passed and he was just going
through a tough time, and youcould just see like it made this kid's
world. I was here at workand I had tears on the floor,
like this is embarrassing, dude,I'm crying so hard for this random TikTok

(09:13):
video. Some cry It's okay,oh man, more vulnerable like you said.
Yeah, yeah, that's what Icalled back that I've been slacking on
my twenty twenty four. Thank youso much, it's back. I can't
even remember the word resolution. It'sbeen a while. But anyway, anything
you guys want to hit before weget into the music this week, we

(09:37):
hit it up. Okay, Well, actually, let's take a quick break
and then we'll come back and getinto today's new music. All right,
new music, let's get into itfor the day here plugging in my ox.
Yeah. So Billie Eilish big albumout this week. Went to that

(09:58):
album really party in La last nightat the k Forum. Marley's supposed to
go. She'd rather see the uglypeople than me, and she didn't want
to anymore. That's not the name. People are ugly. But well,
okay, anyway, it was good. I like, like, I've been

(10:18):
to a few album listening parties,but I've never been to one at a
venue that big, like the KIForum that compares to like Madison Square got
in New York, I guess.But it was interesting that there was no
performing there, Like the whole floorof the venue was just off and she
was just dancing to it. Thewhole time. That's so interesting, Like
I can't believe she showed up.Yeah, I wonder if fans knew,

(10:39):
Like did they announce that she wasgoing to be there. I think people
assumed, but well, she wasin New York the night prior, so
like I'd just imagine, of courseshe's gonna be there. Oh yeah,
that's her album. So I guessif she showed up at the New York
One, Yeah, obviously people haveto assume that New York One gave it
away, but also if they hadn'tthey knew it was cool, Like she
she came out and she maybe talkedfor a minute, like maybe a minute,

(11:03):
and she was like, hey,this album means a lot to me.
She like set a couple of sentences, and then she was like,
I'm just gonna play the album fromstart to finish and I'm not gonna interrupt.
I'm just gonna play it all theway through. And then she press
play and that was the only timeshe talked. Oh I know, and
I felt like I wanted more,not even I explained like the songs,
yes, she didn't, no,not at all. There's like zero explanation
for the songs, and right afterit ended, after the last track,

(11:26):
she just left stage danced around.That was it? Yeah, And like
some of the production was cool.There were it was cheap, not cheap,
but inexpensive compared to like having awhole stage and stuff like there were
cool lasers and a fog machine andstuff, so it looked cool. She
was dancing around and it felt likeshe had just finished her album and she
was playing it for a room fullof her friends that she was excited about.

(11:48):
Like I loved that. Yeah,I think I just wish I knew
more about the songs. I thinkthat would have been cool, or even
like the ones that she thinks aregoing to be more popular. Yes,
you know what I mean, arethe ones that she likes the most or
yeah, I completely when lunch kickedoff, though people were it was the
highlight of the night. Lunch wasinsane. Dude, I could eat lunch.

(12:13):
She dances tongued's like she would be. I gotta be honest with me.
He played this on the radio thismorning, and I was oppressed.
I was like, good for us, dude, I was just on the
edge. Man. One thing Ihave to say about this is I feel
like you hear more of her vocals. Okay, I was gonna say that

(12:33):
too about her album in general,Like it's not whispering singing like she usually
does. Is like her voice.Yeah, and I mean she's got such
a phenomenal voice. So I thinkLunch was one of the softer ones.
On the the rest of it,she's singing even more. I think.
Yeah, favorite tracks from the albumI really liked. There was three that
stood out to me. I onlylistened to it once. Disclaimer, so

(12:56):
take everything with a grain of salt. The ones that I really liked from
the first send We're Birds of aFeather. Yeah, I'm gonna butcher this
because I don't speak French that one. Lamore, let's all practice one time.
Give me your best shot. Lamorethe movie. Okay, Mikayla live

(13:22):
the movie. I didn't. Ididn't know. You're not she's guing.
That's okay, it's far far you'regonna go. Did you already say Leo
more a, but you're okay?What? Oh, you're right? John

(13:43):
Lamour say it like you mean itwith the accent. Was that French?
I don't know. I was justlike you sounded French to me. I
need to practice. We have aCharlotte Cardon coming in on Monday for in
studio, and she is French Canadianand she likes singing songs in French.
I want her to teach me Frenchwhen she's here. You should know.

(14:03):
That'd be really, that'd be funny. You should have her because I feel
like you had to say something.I don't. My knowledge of French is
zero. I know we and that'sit. I think Miles, who we
work with, he knows a littlebit of frend what really mm hmm huh.
It's so interesting that we were givingthe option to take French growing up.
Did you have that option? Wehad French and Spanish, and it
was like, why I take French. I didn't never have French as an

(14:26):
option. I did have French asan option, but no, yeah,
French, Italian and Spanish. Youcan take Italian. Yeah, oh wow,
I did one year. But that'scool. It was fun. Can
you repeat anything? Nope? Nope, she's nope. I downloaded do it
lingo and I'm like trying to learnItalian on it. It's not that easy,
thinks I hear. It's not thebest because I've heard this too.

(14:48):
Some things are a little wrong.Oh yeah, they're a little wrong.
I don't know if i'm speaking.Yeah, that's what. Yeah, that
was my favorite track, I thinktoo, taking Lunch out of the picture
because I feel like lunch is lunchis my favorite. But my third one
was Blue. Those were the threethat stood out to me. I've seen
them, like theories that you mighthave a double album. Really, yeah,

(15:13):
I can't. I can't do anymore double albums. Can't do any
more theories like so much in TaylorSeason. I just I can't decode anymore,
Like just tell me. That's whatI'm telling you as a swifty in
this room, it's I'm tired.Yeah, I'm tired. But I feel
like so many artists are now pickingup on that. Yeah, well,
because it draws so much attention.People love it. People love it.

(15:35):
People love decoding things and putting timeand energy into anything other than you know,
yeah, I guess like if it'syour artist, it's cool. Yeah
that's too, that's too, obviously. Please. Was it a year that
the band Comuno made us like dopuzzles online to like learn the track list
of one of their albums. Ithink I think it was on Tryhard.

(15:56):
I love that album. I knowit's good, good album, But anyway,
Billie Eilish album one to ten basedon your Billie Eilish fandom, because
I think we're all like, welllike Billie Eilish, but I don't think
she's up in our like any ofour tops, right, No, yeah,
I mean respectfully respectful, But Ifeel like I'd like this album more
than her last one. I wasgonna say the same thing. Yeah,

(16:18):
I felt like this one was abetter listen. Yeah, my favorite album
of hers to this day still isWhen We All Fall This? Wouldn't we
All Fall Asleep? Where do weGo? I don't know if I listened
to that enough? Wait, howreally is that? There was? There
was something There was something about thatalbum, like with the production and just
if I was listening to it inmy car, it just like sounds like

(16:40):
I was immersed in each song.Yeah, I loved that album. Yeah,
I think this one too. Ithought I had pulled a clip of
that our French favorite song here,but like it. It was interesting that
halfway through it again like change beats, I guess you could say, you
know, I mean, it waslike soft and then all of a sudden
it picks up again, and Ireally love when songs do that. That

(17:00):
was gonna be the one thing thatI said that kind of turned me off
about this album. Each song waslike five or six minutes long. Yeah.
Now, it's one thing if youhave like one or two songs on
your album that are like five orsix minutes. But it was every some
of them along, some of themalong. I was like, I'm not
And there's not a lot of songson the track list right, There's only
like what eleven yeah, ten yeah, on the ten but it's like a

(17:26):
fifty minute album, So I don'tknow. The massive left early. How
many songs in from this listening party? Do you think I left? Let's
play this game? Four? Holyshit? Did you hear me say that?
No? Spot on the really onlylisten to four songs? Are you
kidding me? I was gonna saythat was seven act so predictable, I

(17:51):
really so. But the thing is, I'm actually I really thought you were
going to stay the whole time becauseyou were going with somebody. Did you
end up going? Actually? Oh, I'm sorry, John. I like
going to concert alone, especially becausehe was seated. And then I was
like I was kicking it there.I made friends with the girls next to
me. I was like, what'sup. I was like getting some social
But also I would have believed thatyou would stay for one song and leave

(18:14):
because that's just how you are.You underestimated me. It no, because
I just told you I thought youwent with somebody. So it was like
John stayed the whole time because hewent with somebody maybe left a song or
two. Yeah, but I doknow that sometimes you will say I'm going
to say for one song, yeah, like I can see you do that
valid. It's so valid. Ijust I was like, the song's out
right now, Like I can goto my car and listen to that one

(18:37):
thing that was part of the reasonwhy I didn't want to go home last
night. No, I get it. I will say, Can I backtrack
really quick about the five every songbeing five to six minutes? Yeah?
I think only two are above five, right, I don't know, but
I'm backtracking because I know some peoplemight be like, well, Marley Taylor
Swift, all of her songs arelike four or five six minutes, which
is true and goes back to yourpoint as Billy's not like your artist my

(19:03):
artist, which I'm just gonna puta disclaimer in there that I hear you.
I get it. I appreciate thedisclaimer. Let's let's talk about Zaine's
new album. Did did any ofyou get a good listen to that?
I know? I think the kaylawas I did? Are you the biggest
Zain fan here? No? Okay? I listened to it once through?
Okay? So did I? Yeah? How do we feel about this one?

(19:26):
Okay? So I was going totalk about this when we got to
my ox. Oh yeah, youwant to save it till but that's okay,
Oh okay, it doesn't matter.I think. Well, obviously it
was a different sound than what we'reused to from him, he said,
it was going to be a differentsound like people wouldn't expect this from him,
but it was more about his insighton his personal life, his ambitions,

(19:48):
his fears, thinks he's went through. So this was so raw and
vulnerable and beautiful, I think,and you hear it in the songs,
especially the ones that I had picked, which do I even have them up?
Oh? Like alienated this song?He said. The intention behind this
album, like you know, wasto talk about who he was and for

(20:11):
his fans to get to know himmore and in an interview, he had
said that he wants his daughter tobe proud of him for something. Oh
wow. And so when you listento like Alienated, this was a part
of his life where you know,he felt isolated, and it was because
of his personal struggles and you hearit in his voice in the song with
the harmonies and just you know,his rawness in his vocals stage. So

(20:36):
I did disconnect my body from mysoul from my soul. See I feel
alright already, Oh my, ohwow, whoa I felt like so my
favorite of his album was a falsestarts like how beautiful, Like I feel

(21:07):
like I can see him sitting onhis farm with this one. You know,
I love that we all have differentsongs. Because I was going to
point out star Dust Star, Iwill say the album as a whole gave
me like Chris Stapleton vibe. Dude, he literally said that's what he was

(21:29):
going. Yeah, did you reallyjust said that? Yes, let me
tell you. I'm on it today. The only one of us actually made
michaela two. You're holding the right. That's crazy. I literally have that.
It reminds me it's like more bluesylike Chris Stapleton like almost Teddy swims
even a little bit. He literallylike has a quote about that. He
was essentially saying that a lot ofpeople have said that this album kind of

(21:51):
sounds country, but he wanted tomake it very clear that he's not really
trying to jump on this country bandwagonthat everybody else is on right now,
right it's a huge year for country. He's like, I'm not trying to
do that. And I believe him, Like, dude's about that life,
like he's living on a range somewheretotally right. And he was saying that
he was just sitting there on hisranch by the fire, listening to Chris
Stapleton drinking a glass of whiskey withhis dog, and he was starting to

(22:15):
think that like to him, ChrisStapleton sings about like classy, mature man
emotions, Like Chris Stapleton's not anf boy, you know what I mean.
He's not singing about going out andpartying. Like he has so many
songs that have so much depth tothem in emotion, like as a man,
and he respected that. So that'skind of what he was going for
with this new album. Oh Wow, spot on, dude, Dang spot

(22:37):
Wow. Also a long album,a lot of songs on there. Yeah.
Yeah. And also it's called Roomunder the Stairs, which is interesting
because it gave me like Harry HarryPotter vibes. Okay, I thought that
too. Yeah, but also likefor like well to like alienated, like
that song like you do isolate yourselfif you he went and like he had

(23:00):
this phase in his life where youknow, he was struggling and you could
tell, and you know, that'sthe only way probably to describe being alone,
feeling alone, isolating your people,like from your family, your friends.
Yeah, that's so crazy. It'sso interesting, like so many years
separated from one direction, splitting upto like see all the different paths just

(23:21):
get almost further and further away,like seeing who they're becoming on their own.
You know. Yeah, it's interesting. I stand by that one direction
reunion, I said last week,dud, I stand by it after we
want it, I know, Iknow. Yeah, Okay, let's talk
about one of our favorite leases thatwe're all in agreement on, ban Camino
Bruises their three song EP. Canwe agree that Nostal just the best of

(23:42):
them, the best? Yes?Like, are you kidding me? It's
giving hard and that is one ofmy favorite of theirs. Is it really

(24:03):
trying? Yes on that? Iknow to this day one of their best
songs. I'm gonna see challenge challengechallenge me on live Live Live is what
does is? What does it?I get it like it's a banger.
It's in their top ten, maybetop not even your top five. I

(24:26):
don't know if I don't know ifit's my top five of just choosing to
listen to We're back, but atthe show, that's when I look forward
to. Yeah, okay, I'llmeet you there. I'm literally shook,
I'll meet you shook it. No, it's that's by far one of my
favorite ones. But You're not alonein that. Like so many, I
feel like I see a lot ofcomments from people saying that Haunted is like

(24:47):
the song for them, you know, also something they need to add by
the bank. Mean, if you'relistening to this is your track list,
you need to have something to holdon to that needs to be back on
there, that needs to be andsleeping on that. I heard it one
same at the Rock you were there, that's right, the Rock in lounge.
It was the only time I've everheard it the VIP sound check for

(25:07):
that song. I'm like, no, I needed that isn't the song that
made me find the bank Comino onSpotify. I unfortunately driveway too fast when
I'm listening to that song. Ijust get so zoned in. I feel
like Nostalgia was like just such avery classic band Camino sounding song. Yeah,
and the opening line of this songthat a life, a life I
used to live. It's living ina melody. I hear that song,

(25:30):
I sing along. It's like atime machine. Is like the perfect opening
line because it it's it's just aperfect description of how we feel about music
in general. Like you're literally inthe stock pick a song music. Yeah,
you can pick a song and youcan listen to it and it'll immediately
take you back to your college dormroom or your cheer dance back in the
fifth grade. You know what Imean. Only music can really do that.

(25:53):
Maybe smells, I feel like sometimesa smell can be really true'll do
that too, Yeah for sure.But like that's pretty much and it's less
smells. It's very few smells thatcan take me places. But there are
some songs. Maybe I haven't heardit in ten years, or maybe I
hear it every day, but itstill takes me back to that one part
where really left that impression on you. The pre chorus too, where he
goes, I'm caught up in aflashback. I can't go back in time,

(26:14):
but I love what it feels like. Like you can't go back in
time, but I love what thisnostalgia feels like because it's it's a glimpse
of that field. Yeah, youknow, it's just a little glimpse of
it. It's so that's that's Yeah, Nostalgia is a banger. Ten out
of ten, Ten out of ten. Absolutely. I think I only sleep
on bruises just because I like theother two better. Yeah, it's not
a bad song, but it's justof the three. I'm going to put

(26:36):
it third. But I really likedthe ballad take and sure I'm mistaking a
time like this was different. It'sa German. You want to know why

(26:56):
it sounds different? Hear me out, Okay. It sounds like it should
be in a musical because the pianookay, hold on, hold on,
hear me out okay, And whatkind of music sell me on this?
Like like if you're watching a movie, okay, and it's a musical and
the lead character is you know,just narrate this movie real quick. The

(27:22):
main character is just walked onto thescene, walking down a street. It
might be raining. He's just madea mistake at work, maybe his relationship
just ended. Wow, now hestarts singing, you stop, you lose

(27:42):
me at musical. It was itwas a stretch, but for some reason,
like obviously it's a great song.I'm not trying to like, of
course, no put it in abox, but I hear movie sound.
Maybe that's maybe that's what I'm moreso trying to say, Like a disaster
happened and the sound just came up. A tornado just ravaged through your town.

(28:04):
Trick. This is the soundtrack ofTwister. They added this one too.
The town is looking at all thehouses that are torn a parts of
they did, they made this mistake. But you get what I'm saying,
Like, like it sounds like someokay, so maybe musical is the wrong

(28:26):
wrong term to use, but likea sounds like a soundtrack, yeah,
which I don't feel like a lotof their stuff gives soundtrack vibe. Yeah,
this just I don't know how todescribe it other than also I don't
I haven't really thought through this claim, so I'm one hundred percent sure about
it. But I do feel likethe piano songs from the band Communit are
usually Spencer and this is just ohyeah, but he's been posting that,

(28:48):
like him playing on the piano.Yeah, I know he plays. Oh,
I see you're saying that, likewhenever there's a piano play, that's
usually Spencer. Yeah, we gotless Spencer on these three songs. The
only really comes in on course,Yeah, missing my guy Spence. Dude.
Okay, anyway, so maybe notmusical but soundtrack. No, I
didn't hear it down stick to it. I'll see that musical. I listened

(29:11):
to it, and I don't knowwhy musicals. It's the first thing that
came to I'm gonna be canceled,goodbye. No, let's see. So
I'm gonna go into my personal picksnow. I don't really have a lot
this week. I feel like therewas a lot that came out that I
liked, not a lot that Iloved Bank Made of course on there.
I really liked Paperweight from Small Pools. That's another very great indie song that

(29:33):
came out this week. But myfavorite release is from Wildlife The Wildlife guys.
I loved the song when I firstheard it. I kept listening.
There was more and more to it, and I fell to my knees.
No, no, dude, Ifell to my knees in the shower today.

(29:56):
It was absurd. Let me walkyou through this, Okay, but
I love this. The soundtrack themeof this podcast is really pushing through with
don falling to the show. Ithink that's it really got me there.
It really really got me though.So The Wildlife what if you change sometimes

(30:19):
things? So The Wildlife might bethe world's most underrated band? Agree,

(30:41):
might agree they should be so muchbigger than that us crazy. It's crazy
to me and they're incredible. Okay, So let me let me walk you
through this song. Let me letme walk you through the emotional like roller
coaster that I went through listening tothis song. Okay, So to me,
this this song took you, ortakes me to this moment where it's

(31:02):
like the scariest moment about falling forsomeone. So you find this incredible person,
right, and you slip into thisI guess, like dreamland with them,
right, like fairy tale world,like you finally found someone that you're
super vibing with in and they're inlove with you too. They're choosing to
spend all their moments with you,and you finally have this. But then
then the fear kicks in. Andthat's kind of what they're talking about in
the chorus. It's I've lived lifelong enough to know that sometimes the good

(31:26):
things go. So what if yousay goodbye and I'm left here all alone?
And then they say forever? It'sjust the word. You say it
all the time, but babe,I've been burned before, and what if
you change your mind? So itgot me thinking about this fear and how
real that is, because it's sotrue, it's something you learned, Like
as good as things are with someone, and as much as they say,
oh, like I'm gonna be withyou forever, like I care about you
so much, Like that doesn't guaranteeanything. They could legitate change their mind

(31:51):
at any moment, and that's justhow it's going to be. So you're
powerless and now you can really doand trust is trust in that point,
and that's scary. So I damn, what a good song, so so
good. So let's set that asidefor a minute. Okay, set the
meeting aside for a minute, becausethen I'm listening to it, and I
saw this TikTok where they were sayingthey don't make songs like break Even anymore
from the script, and this songhas the exact same chord progression as break

(32:25):
Even, so it seems like they'redoing it intentionally here. Now, break
Even is one of my favorite songsof all time. That song, it's
magic, and it's taken so manyof us, like through a heartbreak.

(32:47):
So then I start thinking about thatsong in comparison to this one. Right.
Break Even is about being absolutely shatteredby someone who doesn't share the same
feelings as you, falling to piecesand completely broken. But then this song
from The Wildlife fifteen years later waswritten on top of break Even, and
I think it represents like the scarsof break even that give you that fear

(33:10):
of thinking that someone will leave becausethey've done it to you before. Dude,
you've had to experience being shattered toa million pieces by someone who told
you they'd be there forever. Yeah, and then they left because you trusted
that. Hey, I'm following you, see what I'm saying. And so
that's why those lyrics are so important. I've lived long enough to know sometimes

(33:31):
the good things go break even inthe background. That same court progression is
like a reminder of the underlying scarsof your past that influence the fears of
your present, and that's with youthrough the entire song. Wow, that's
good, that's good. Are youkidding me? That has to be intentional.
I came to that realization in theshower today and I fell to my
knees. I said, dude,Way and his own movie soundtrack. I

(33:58):
was in a movie moment. Iwas the only one in our workshower this
morning in the gym, and Iwas just like the wildlife. Oh my
god, guess they've done it.They've done it. They just brought it
full circle, and like, Wow, Dany, I'm in love with them.
I'm in love with them one moretime for good measure. You want
me to retaill the whole story,so break? No, Actually, I'm

(34:20):
good on that one. Sometimes goodthings so good. I love that.

(34:46):
It's so good, so good,repeat, I will say. I listened
to our playlist on Spotify bangers.Sure, all right, I'm taking this
out. Who wants to go next? I can go? Okay? Sure?

(35:07):
Wow, Marley this is this isout of order. I kind of
I figure, I kind of switchit up. So obviously the band Comuina
we've already spoken about. Nostalgia wasone of my favorite tracks on it.
So wow, wow, I wasturning you up. Yeah, sorry,
or why am I apologizing? It'syour fault? So yeah, Bruises by

(35:29):
the band Camino. But I dowant to talk about Cry for Me by
Johnny Boy. Yep, that songgave me. I don't know about you,
guys, Dominic Fike vibes okay inthe best way. The intro to
that song is very like it's likethis high pitched I'm assuming it's him that

(35:50):
they've just like hired the pitch andhe used that under him like a harmony
or something. Yes, which isreally interesting. I'm so glad that you
brought that up because that was mysecond point. Is that harmony and the
track that's what I'm looking for layering. So sorry, Yeah, the track
layering at the end with the highpitched, like mellowed out tone to his

(36:15):
voice, like it's like harmonizing withthem. It's so good. Yeah,
it's like it's him but a differentvoice because they altered that sound totally.
It's harmony and like, yeah,I had never seen the thumb before,
so that, yeah, it was. But the intro is what really sold
me because I was immediately given dominicfive five. I get the dominic fact

(36:43):
now you know what I'm saying.Also, the transition with the drums,
like the boom and then he startssaying, I was like this, keep
it going and so. But thenagain to the secondary point was the layering,
the vocal l airing at the end. This is the first track that

(37:09):
made me think, oh, thisis why this couldn't be nightly. This
very different. I agree. Thefirst track I think was a good like
in between it was kind of warmingyou into it. But this is completely
different. No, and it's it'sso good. This is easily you know
this to me personally, tops angelface angel Face is good, but this
one is more my face really absolutelyno, Yeah, I like this one

(37:30):
better. It's in my opinion,the other one's great too, but I
like this one a little bit more. Yeah. So that was my second
pick asides from the band Comino.But I do want to throw a wrench
in in in here because if anyoneknows me well, they know how I
feel about Hardy, the country artistHardy. Just you know how she feels

(37:53):
about Hardy. I don't. Wedon't know her. You guys don't know
me well enough. I don't havea name. So Hardy is one of
those artists that people ride or diefor. That man, true people are
Hardy Damned. I don't think I'vebeen really introduced to it enough yet because

(38:15):
some people I know are like,you're to your point. Die hard fans
like they love every song he's everput out. Yeah, would go to
any show that he like. Ihave a friend who's die hard Hardy fan,
and he's been trying to get meon board for a long time.
I have not been able to jumpon that train. I really haven't.
We saw him at Stage Coach andI thought he performed really well. He

(38:37):
put on a really good show,so I was like, obviously, like
he's there, I'll see him stagetwo. Yeah, he's still not someone
I think I go out of myway to see. It's kind of the
same thing as Jelly Roll personally,how I feel like. I think jelly
Roll's super talented. I never havegravitated towards his music, but seeing him
live, he puts on a greatshow for sure. So circling back to

(39:00):
Hardy here, he's coming out withan album on July twelfth, which,
as we already know, features asong called Happy Hour with Our Boy Knocks,
which I'm very excited to hear.But to give you some context,
Mikayle likes, I'm not sure ifyou know who Hardy is. He's very
like rock, like country rock.Yeah. He was on the when we

(39:20):
were young festival lineup? Was heI think the first year? Yeah,
because I thought of him as likean alternative rock because that's what he kind
of is. But he like hascountry songs. That's why I wasn't sure,
like at first when you said acountry because I was like, is
it a different one? Because Iknow his name, but I associate it
with like alt. But that's becausethat's what you would think. But he's

(39:44):
classified I guess as like a countryrock artist. I don't know. Yeah,
anyway, So he's coming out withthat album, and he dropped a
song from his upcoming album called Psychoand for some reason I gravitated towards this
song. I listened to it likefour times this morning. I go,

(40:13):
yeah, like I hear the rockhere. But not so much the country
I know, And so that's whatI noticed most about this track is it's
it's giving very alternative rather than ratherthan country. But I kind of like
that though, because who cares aboutthe genre labeling? You know, It's
almost like more fun to defy thoseon purpose because then it gets us talking
about it, like totally this guytotally. It's the same thing with Jelly

(40:35):
Roll, with Jelly Roll's doing andHardy and we've you know, talked about
this a bunch of times. Butyeah, I gravitated towards the song.
I was listening to it the intro, he's very like he sounds great,
not that he doesn't all the time, but you know what I mean,
Like, I just the way thathe was saying I was like, oh
wait, I kind of like this. Yeah, And then it got into
that rock chorus, So are youon board yet? Is this? I

(41:00):
wouldn't say him on board yet,but I did like this song. I
will say I will listen to hisalbum when it comes out on July twelve
and give and get back to youon that. But I am most excited
for that Knox track. That's yeah, putting a pin in it. We're
circling back to you. We hada fun decision yet, but we're on
our way. But I did loveI did love this release this week.

(41:21):
Yeah, Hardy did. That's itfor you, That's it for me,
all right? Taking this out Ifyou would like to hand that over to
Mikaela, thank Youkla if you canput that in. No, it's some,
it's underneath that. Nope, blowlower, John. I felt like
it was only fair to do itto you one time. Normally Marley gets
all of that. Okay, SoI just choked, Okay, nope,

(41:45):
okay. So I have bon Jovion my list. Yeah, I saw
that because the last album Jumpy theyhad come out was in twenty twenty,
where he had to come out.I wasn't twenty twenty. But I think
of bon Jovi like as like oldermusic, like not making new music.

(42:06):
And when I listened to this newsong, it truly just brought me back
because it's the same exact sound.It's such a good song. The rocks
still there. They have the guitarsolo at the after the chorus, and
I had to just playing wait thebest we's got nothing. This sounds like

(42:32):
it could have been made that's whatI mean. I was like, wait,
I'm sure this is new. Yeah, Like I feel like I know
the words from eighties nights somehow,you know, oh literally? And I
love that. I love when songskind of go silent and like say,
like the artist has a word withoutany music under it, and then it
goes right into the guitar solo.Yes big? Are you like a big

(42:55):
classic rock person? So? Igrew up listening to bon Jovi because my
aunt so she was huge fan.So I and my uncle loved classic rock.
So when I was with them,that's all we listened. You're pretty
familiar, yeah, for sure.So when I saw this, I was
like, wait, I need tolisten to this. What are like your
your old artists that your parents madeyou listen to growing up? Bon Jovi

(43:16):
is one of your biggest For myaunts and uncles, yes, But for
my mom and dad was more ofthe freestyle so like freestyle like Stebeeb like
Tiffany. You're kidding, like Iknow all of them? Why you don't?
I just wouldn't don't know. Melissais My mom used to freestyle,

(43:38):
break dance and spin on her head. Wait what yes, hardcore She's hardcore,
so like I'm like blanking Lisa,Lisa the name, Yeah, like
a bunch of like so she stillgoes and sees them. What are your
parents like main artists? Oh?My god? Is that is a tough

(43:59):
question? Is it? My dadis the has all of the music.
I think I got my musical genesfrom your dad. From my dad.
Yeah, your parents are like lowkey hippies. Yeah yeah yeahs So I

(44:19):
remember being like in high school andmy dad being like, I have over
five thousand albums on my Apple Musicor like whatever. My dad is one
of those people, and it neverceases to amaze me. He'll be like,
oh, this album, yeah,this album. The artwork cover actually
looks like this, and it actuallycame out on April tenth in nineteen seventy
two, and the lead singer actuallydid x Y and I'm like, done,

(44:40):
Well, where are you? Storythat it shocks me, like older
people are so good at knowing exactyears. I yeah, it's so it
never ceases to amaze me. Soanyway, going back to your question,
I don't know because it was everything. Yeah, yeah, it was everything,
different genres just all over the place, a lot of outcast Grateful Dead,

(45:00):
Jefferson Airplane, that kind of vibe. Yeah, my mom's was like
Shania Twain mostly a lot of ShaniTrain and the Aerosmith. Yeah yeah,
the classics. Al right, backto you mcain but anyway, Yeah,
so gon Jovi going back to nostalgiabrought me back, Like as soon as
I heard that song, it broughtme back to times I spent with my

(45:21):
aunt and except even though it wasan older song, Like I mean that
this is a newer song, butit reminded me of the older stuff I
used to listen to as a kid. By he looks great too. I
saw peop from the other day.Dude's kicking it. Yeah, it's in
great shape. Great. So thenext artist I wanted to talk about was
Bleachers because they just released their deluxealbum called Bleacher's Deluxe. It has eight
extra songs except two almam eight yeahye oh my god. But two of

(45:45):
them Alma Mater and Self Respect headded, but different versions of them.
So self Respect is an acoustic versionand then Alma Mater has parentheses that says
version is from the day it waswritten. Oh wow. So it was
interesting to go back and listen toboth. But As I mentioned before when
we've talked about Bleachers, their vocalsare not the main focus of their music.

(46:07):
It's about the production and the instruments. And in this deluxe album he
has some songs that alterhood voice hisvoice, and one of them is called
drug Free America. And so ifyou listen to it, drugs cannot say

(46:31):
that are the lyrics. This isyour brain on drugs. Yes, I
got like death punk, you know. Yeah, so this was not one
of my favorites, but I getwhy he did it again going off of
production because your brain on drugs.He was trying to explain, like,
that's probably what it sounds to yourvoice distort it because there is a distortion
when you're on drugs. So thatthat was interesting because he's such a creative,

(46:54):
like interesting writer. Yeah, soI thought that was interesting. Not
one of my favorites, but oneof my favorites was Margo. So in

(47:20):
this again production, the vocals arenot so raised, but the song's gonna
hit so hard live and you canhear the lead up with the piano and
then it goes into the saxophone andthe saxophone does something to me. I
get that. I can tell youand live with them, Yes, Chinees

(47:40):
and the Shower, I get it, okay, And now the saxophone is
a huge part of their songs now, I think it always has been,
but in their shows too, likeit is safe to say more so now
than in the Yeah right, butlive, I don't know what it is
watching them, It just capsive,captivates. I agree the audience. I

(48:04):
had this thought just now. Comparedto the original Bleachers album and the eight
songs on this deluxe, which ofthe two do you like more? Do
you like these songs more than youlike the original songs that are included on
the album. That's so hard tosay because I feel like some of their
songs for me or hit or miss, And on this there was like three

(48:27):
of the new eight that I liked, Okay, so about half so half
if if Yeah, it's more ofthe songs that have the production I like.
But for some reason, I fallmore in love with these songs after
I hear them live. I getthat. I was a little bummed out
because this album was not my favorite, right and I loved this album originally

(48:47):
right like this has made me aBleachers fan. And then I heard the
deluxe and there wasn't one that Ireally gravitated towards. I was like,
it just wasn't It was definitely weirder, like the Dams album had a lot
of weirder songs than are on thetraditional self titled Bleachers album. I don't
know, I thought you would likeit because I didn't, because I feel

(49:07):
like we like two different kinds ofBleachers. You know, you like the
older stuff. I like the newerstuff. And every song I loved it's
not your favorite and the ones youlove are not mine. So I was
like, she's gonna love this newdeluxe album. Yeah, I mean,
I guess I can say that Ido like a little bit of a little
bit more than the other one,but again I'm picky. Yeah, And
sometimes their songs are hit or misswith me, like their other song that

(49:28):
they have on this deluxe, theBackwards Heart. His voice again isn't the
center of this song, but thesaxophone is magical and the production is more
my vibe. I love that youcan kind of tell that it doesn't sound

(49:59):
like everything was peace together. Itwas almost like they were in a room
together and recorded it live, almostjust thought the same thing. It sounds
like they're in the corner of theroom. Yeah, like his vocals are
not the center. Yes, exactly, That's exactly what I was gonna say,
Like it's not the center of thesong. It sounds far away,
almost like they were just jamming,just going off like whatever they come up

(50:22):
with. But you hear the littlesaxophone in it again before. But I
feel like being in a room withJack Antonov when he's in creator mode must
be just such an experience. Youknow, well, think about him and
Taylor Swift in the same room.Yeah, I know, I've watched those
videos and it intrigues me, becrazy, But anyway, I love Bleachers.

(50:43):
I think these songs definitely hit differentwhen they're live because of the production,
because of them running around stage,because it's so production filled. It's
like, I don't even know howto explain it. It's like spectacle.
Yeah, I'm in like I don'teven know, not there. I don't
know. I want to say areligious experience, but I'm not religious,
but like you get what I mean, Like it's just like whoa, like

(51:04):
just feeling all the music everything,did I just experience? Yes, it
is ney to see them live.I really do well They're coming in September.
Greek sold out first night, justadded a second night. But oh
god, here we go Tuesday.It's the weekend of the iHeart Oh yeah,
bum yeah, So that is abummer. It don't go someday,

(51:28):
But I'm glad I just got tosee them because they're incredible. It's it's
unlike anything you've ever seen in concert. I like believe that because every time
I see videos from Coachella, I'mlike, man, that must have been
so cool to see. It doesn'tdo justice. We watched Watch at my
parents' house. Yeah, we putit on at my parents' house. Yeah,
that so good. Anyway, LiveLoved Leachers bad? Is that all

(51:57):
my Audieah? We talked about sayingalready Yeah, talks about Johnny Boy Wilde,

sorry fly By Midnight, No,that's a priority. Is seen New Kids
a bunch from Boston. I'm excitedfor this new kid. The Roy song.
Oh my gosh, he was talkingabout it. I just brought it
up to Michael and Jessica the otherday because he was teasing it on TikTok.

(52:40):
Yeah, it's gonna be a banger. Man oh man, Think I
feel bad he was fandom who hurbanshoon night. He didn't too right,
that's too bad. Now see thatyou are don Nic. You're trying to
cash out. You trying to rashout, and I'm not the one to

(53:02):
Girls just want to dance, Girlsjust want to Like, am I a
Kilo fan? When did that happen? Now? He goes right now,
he's he has good songs though,but this one it's next. No,
this one is going to be It'sexcellent. I fear this might take take

(53:23):
over my my Yeah, Spotify wrappedat the end of the year. This
feels like the new what's that JackCarlow song? Loving on Me? Yeah?
Love it. It feels like thenewer one of that. I feel
like the beat feels like a TateMcCray beat. Well, he's dating a
message there towards her ex hockey dude, perhaps, but man, no,

(53:45):
it's gonna be I like the KImusic is cool, but I wasn't this.
I wasn't expecting this toll off.Yeah, this got me UPO my
knees. This one was played afterthe one that's interest, after the wildlife.
Okay, we do have a playlist. You can hear all these songs.

(54:05):
Marley, where do you find it? You're gonna find it, and
it's gonna be on in parentheses andthen the playlist. Nice check that out
on Spotify and we'll see you nextweek for another new music. Oh,
Marley's not going to be here.I'm not going to be here next week.
But have so much fun without me, you can. Honest No,
I can't talk about it. I'mupset about it. Jammy Zucker and Jeremy

(54:30):
Zucker and Love and Alexander and Alexandertwenty three on the same song will be
the end of me. Honestly,it's probably better that I'm not here for
it because I don't I don't betterlive up to a pipe. I'm like,
I don't want to give it toomuch. The thing is is they
haven't really teased too much yet,So who knows what it's going to sound

(54:51):
like? Who knows if they're eachgoing to have individual parts in the song,
if they're just going to harmonize thewhole time. Who knows. I
don't know. And it's just someoneand done, because why create a whole
Instagram page if this is just don'twant to do it right? No way,
anyway, I want to tour theGirls, the Girl's Tour, the
Girls, the Girls Tour. Youguys have so much fun next week,
Thank you talking about it without me, thank you. I'll be here in
spirit. But anyway, Oh,when Alex Coles has a new song coming

(55:15):
out, he does next week?It sounds like a bang. It's going
to be about Yeah. I kepttelling about twenty something. Yeah, yeah,
so that's next week. I'm alsothis is backtracking a little bit.
I'm a little bit uninformed about this. But who was Joshua Bassett dating?
He has a new song today,and I saw so many people on TikTok
talking about it. It's it's calledthe Golden Years. Yes, and it's
good. It's very good. Ihad I almost spoke about it today,

(55:36):
but there's so much tea in thecomments that I just couldn't well. A
lot of people are trying to correlateit to being about Olivia Rodrigo. Is
he the one she dated after highschool musical Musical series? Yes, say
that I believe. I know it'sdifficult, but okay, anyway, enough
nonsense right here,
