This is exactly right. Double Elvis. Hey, Discos, need a little more disgrace land in your life? Just a touch to get you through? Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland, the after party. Happy New Year Discos.

I hope you and your families are having a great holiday season, and you guys are set up for a healthy and happy 2025. Speaking of healthy, I'm a bit under the weather. Excuse my voice. It's a little raspy. I'm a little congested. I hope you can hang with me for the next 30, 45 minutes here. Got a lot of stuff I want to talk to you about.

There's a very short list of musicians who died on New Year's Day. This week's full episode subject, Hank Williams, is at the top of that list. Next in line is a country artist who did all he could to emulate Hank's hard living ways, Towns Van Zant. And after that, the list pretty much ends. You know, there are some session players, B-listers, but hardly any musicians of note other than Hank in Towns who kicked on New Year's. I think Ricky Nelson died on New Year's Eve. And my point is it's a very short list.

But nevertheless, the end of the year, it's a good time to reflect and to list out some of the things that we're grateful for or that we're excited about or that we want to talk about. Are there things that are on the horizon or things that we just experienced in the past year? And one of the parts of this job that I don't talk about enough is in addition to all the great stories that this research unearths for me. It also reveals a treasure trove of obviously incredible content from some of the greatest artists and entertainers from history. The research gives me reason to revisit classic albums and movies that I haven't listened to or

watched in a while, turns me on to music and films that I may have missed the first time around that just aren't part of my growing up, my formative years, whatever. We used to do a recommendation section in the after party that was pretty popular. So I thought that for the end of 2024 here, I'd recommend to you a handful of my favorite music in movies unearthed while researching this year's past batch of episodes. Just a handful. I can't do all of them, obviously. We release like a thousand episodes this year. It's not quite a list, but one could make a short listening or a short watch list out of this episode if they were so inclined and easily occupy themselves for a whole weekend with some great content, if not more. So here's a small batch of recommendations for y'all have taken to the new year. So back in the beginning of 2024, we released an episode on Serge Gainsburg. And I mentioned this at the time, and it's worth repeating, the movie about surge, it's called Serge Gainsberg, A Heroic Life, might be the best musical biopic that I've ever seen.

I haven't yet seen the Dylan biopic a complete unknown. I hoped to go a couple days ago. I was going to bring my son when we were in Boston. It just didn't work out. and I wanted to go this weekend. Hopefully I can feel better and go to the movie theater and not get people sick. So anyways, I haven't seen the movie. So I can't judge that movie against this Gainsburg movie.

The Gainsberg movie doesn't have Timothy Chalomey in it, okay, just so you know. So it's got that going for it. I'm kidding, but not really. I'm not that big of a fan of Timothy Chalme, but I'm holding out hope that he'll surprise me in the Dillon movie. But back to Serge Gainsburg, A Heroic Life. there is nothing like this movie, which is totally fitting because there was no one like Serge Gainsberg. The movie, it pulls absolutely no punches. It makes no apologies. It's gritty. It's fantastical. It's ugly and it's beautiful. All at the same time, I highly recommend this film.

And whether you're a Serge Gainsberg fan or not. If you've never heard of Serge Gainsberg, you're like, who the fuck is this guy talking to talk? Surge, what? This is a great place to start. It's one of these movies that if you were just like channel surfing one afternoon on your couch and you came across this, the look of it would just pull you in immediately. You would be completely intrigued by the character at the center of it and you would end up watching it no matter where you started in the film, regardless of if you had any idea at all who this musician was. And if you don't know who Serge Gainsburg is, well, first of all, go back and listen to the

disgrace land episode that we produced on him back in the beginning of 2024. but just second, he's a fantastic, fantastic musician whose career was completely unique. Second half of the 20th century, French songwriter turned crooner, turned controversial artists who created songs, who created albums in multiple genres and was always at the vanguard of pop culture. I can't recommend Serge Gainsburg enough. And I can't recommend this film enough either. It's fantastic. And if you're looking for a Serge Gainsberg album to pair this amazing film with, whether you're a Serge Gainsberg fan or not, they look no further than History de Melody Nelson. It's from 1971, but sounds like it could have been made in 2001.

You're going to hear all kinds of modern artists who are influenced by this record when you listen to it, especially Beck. Okay. So that's History de Melody Nelson. The record by Serge Gainsberg in the movie is Serge Gainsberg, a heroic. life. Check these out. All right, my oldest son asked me a couple weeks ago, if there are any great punk rock documentaries that we could watch, and I kind of drew a blank. And then I thought about the clash and West Way to the world. It's a 2000 documentary made by the legendary Don Letts. I didn't think about this movie right away when my son asked me this question, because the movie itself has taken on kind of mythical status in the past few decades. It's so awesome. It just,

It seems more, it seems like more than a documentary. The live footage in this film will have you reaching for your guitar and speed dialing your friends to get to come over and start a punk band with you. This, this is an amazing film. It's exhilarating. When I think of this movie, I think of the Clash album, Give Them Enough Rope. I don't know. I don't know why, but for whatever reason, I think of Mick Jones a lot when I think

of that record. And I think of McJones a lot when I think of Westway to the world because the McJones stuff is intense. Fantastic film. check it out westway to the world and if you don't know give him enough rope check that out if you do know it put it on i feel like that's an overlooked one from the clash's repertoire and it's fantastic so another wreck here from one of our more popular episodes of 2004 uh the anthony bourdain episode i think it was like the number three most downloaded one behind um river river phoenix maybe um i don't

know i don't know who the top two were i know bordean was and then he kind of fell off fell off the top of the block there. But in the Anthony Bourdain episode, we talk about Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age a bit. And it's just got to be mentioned that the Queens record rated R is incredible. And it should be part of any self-respecting rock and roll fans collection. And for those of you still on holiday break with some time to kill after you binge a bunch of disgrace land episodes, including, like I said, the Anthony Bordane episode, I recommend just going back to the early Bordane, no reservation episode, season one, two, three, crushing a bunch of those. It's important to remember who the man was before he became the man that he was, if that makes any sense.

And those early episodes are just fantastic. They're all fantastic. We know this. But this time of year is the year for binging. And of course, Anthony Bourdain will make for a great travel guide to your binge. We released a Dylan episode, Bob Dylan episode in May of 2024. And obviously, because of the new movie, a complete unknown, we should mention that there are two Dylan records that I love that don't get a lot of attention. and when they do that attention, it isn't necessarily positive.

Bob Dylan's street legal from 1978 and infidels from 1983, infidels, street legal, okay? Street legal, I don't know who pulls this record out first when they think of Bob Dylan records. I don't, but it is a late in life favorite of mine. It has a controlled chaos about it that is representative of Dylan's life at that time. in the late 70s, divorce proceedings, all kinds of shit going on. You know, failing to make the movie that ABC wanted him to make. Just a whole bunch of stuff that I don't, again, I haven't seen a complete unknown,

but I doubt very much that they get into this phase of Dylan's life with any meat on the bone. Now, it could be wrong. Maybe people will go see a complete unknown and street legal. In the late 70s, Dylan will be part of the film's narrative and street legal will take on this other life. But I doubt it. but I just want to throw in my two cents here because it's a great record and y'all should check it out. Also, the other record I mentioned, Infidels, this record gets a little bit more positive glow from critics in Dylan fans Infidels does than Street Legal. But it is still a fairly unknown Dylan album.

Great record though, produced by Mark Knopfler from Dyer Straits, who also plays guitar on this record alongside the incredible Jamaican reggae rhythm section of Sly and Robbie. infidels is great, has one of my, I'm going to say it's definitely top 10, might be top five Dylan's songs, Neighborhood Bulley. Just a great record. So check those out. Obviously, those recommendations are inspired by the Bob Dylan episode that we produced for you guys earlier this year. Speaking of Disgraced Sand episodes, the Cramps episode, which we released in October,

tied with Halloween, I really get into the research for this episode. more so than I do a lot of other episodes because I didn't know the material that well. I didn't know the cramps music that well. I of course had a couple of cramps records, grew up in and around a scene where the cramps were popular, but I'd never have my moment with the cramps like I did with the misfits, like I did with the clash. So the cramps were relatively new to me. And I really went back to the beginning and I listened to all the records, the trajectory of their creative output. And it was just a gas because this band, is incredible. They're just amazing and they made great, great, great records. There's really not a bad

one in the bunch. And if your cramps curious, okay, go back to the beginning and just start with their first album. It's grimy and beautiful songs the Lord taught us. Wow, what a title, perfect title to. Check that out. Songs, the Lord taught us by the cramps. All right, so I mentioned this before, but it's worth repeating. The Martin Scorsese last waltz episode we just released for Thanksgiving. This era of Scorsese is a new fascination of ours here at Disgraceland. And we're about to start researching a part two Scorsese episode to release during Oscar season 2025. So if you have not seen the Scorsese directed documentary American Boy, you must.

Okay. I know I mentioned this before on the after party when I first saw it about a year. ago. But it is worth saying again because this is, I mean, just wow. Documentary is the wrong word. I think I called it a documentary. It's, it's, I think Scorsese calls it a profile. This is Scorsese in the late 70s in a Hollywood Hills living room. I think it might be his house. I'm not, I'm not exactly sure. But he's with a bunch of his friends. And mainly he's with his buddy, Stephen Prince, the wired, super wired, tightly wired. real-life lunatic who plays Easy Andy, the gun dealer from taxi driver.

Stephen Prince's life was so fucking crazy guys that Scorsese was compelled to just turn on the camera and let him talk. And that's pretty much what the movie is. It's beautiful. It's fascinating. This is a one in a million type character. You can get this movie on HBO Max if you're an HBO Max subscriber, but I also think you can get on YouTube for free.

Either way, it's worth paying. for highly highly recommend american boy by martin's griszi so there's a handful of recommendations for you guys to occupy yourselves with over the remainder of your holiday break if you need some stuff to watch and or to listen to you i try to give you some off-the-cuff stuff and things that authentically and legitimately inspired me this year new and old so coming up all right what do we got coming up we got a couple of rewind episodes that are going to hit your feed this week next in your feed after this bonus episode, a couple of rewind episodes, the part one and part two Beach Boy story, mainly a Dennis Wilson story. They're timed for this time of year because there's heavy

new year's vibes in the part two episode dealing with Dennis's death. So dig into those. And next week, next week we are back full bore with our newest episode on Sean Diddy Combs. Yes, a new, fully scripted sound designed episode on the biggest news story from the music industry from 2024 and likely to be the biggest, music story in 2025. This is music history in the making guys. This story is massive. It goes all over the place. There's entirely too much to cover already. We haven't even had a trial yet. So for this episode, I treated the Diddy episode that we released, just rewind a minute here. I treated the Diddy episode that we released back at the end of 2003 that was produced before all this Diddy News hit.

Okay? Before we made this episode before the allegations, before the indictment, before the Cassie Ventura, abuse tape. And we released that episode back in December, 2003. It's about the nightclub shooting. It's about the stampede where nine people died. The Diddy was involved with. Now, that episode, that Rewind episode, will hit your feed on Monday and serve as a part one to our new Diddy episode, which is going to come on Tuesday. That's going to deal with the new allegations, namely the Cassie Ventura indictment and the true crime details behind that

indictment. So I hope you're ready for all that. And when you're listening, just be thinking to yourself, Didi denies all of these allegations. But what do you think? Do you think he was capable of committing these crimes alleged against him? And I want to know what you know. I want to know and I want to know what you think. I want you to call me. That's the question of the week. Do you think did he did it? I want you to send me a voicemail. I want you to send me a text. Hit me up at Disgracelynipod. 617-90666638. Did he do it? Yes or no?

And most importantly, why do you think he did or did not do it? Let me know, 617-906-66-6638. Send me a voicemail or text at Disgracelam pod DMs. All right, I want to take a quick break. I'll be back in the flash with your voicemails, texts, and DMs. All right, we are back. And because the king of the sad songs, Hank Williams is in the feed this week. We asked the question, which artists or which artist songs tear you up emotionally?

and I got to play this voicemail from the 540. I love disgrace that listeners. If you pick this guy out at like a state fair or your local bar, you would never, ever expect what he's going to say at the end of the voicemail regarding this musical taste. You guys are the best. Here, Matt, play the 540.

Mr. Brennan, this is your buddy, Justin from the 540. You had asked about songs that get you right in the feelings. I got two. The first one's going to be fast cars by Tracy Chapman. When they came out, I heard it like the first time, and I don't know that I've really heard the whole thing ever again. I just got, it's such a sad song. It's so hopeless.

But the second one is Alice Cooper's Only Women Bleed. when I heard Alice Cooper's version I really it's a great song it's a beautiful phone it's well done it sounds great but when

your favorite and my favorite lead forward when she did only women bleed dude that'll rip your that'll rip your heart out of your chest if you don't

if you don't tear up on that one then you don't have a soul but those those are the two Oh, just in general, any Tori Amos song I hear usually would make me cry. I try not to listen to that a whole lot. That's really sad. But anyway, those are the ones, man.

Rock and roll. Appreciate you 5-40 Cornflake Girl by Tori Amos. Got me as well. Always gets me, I should say. And, man, Alice Cooper, this is the third bonus episode in a row you guys have brought him up. I don't know. I'll say it again. I think there's an Alice Cooper episode that we have to do.

All right, let's hear from the 203. This is John from the 203. I would really love to have an episode on Willie DeVille, formerly of Mink DeVille. From what I understand, he had a horrible 20-year heroin habit. And he sounds like a cross between Lou Reed and Tom Waits. Brilliant lyrics, great singer. Thank you. John, I love that Mink DeVille record with Cadillac Walk on it.

Cabretta, I think that's how you pronounce it. Guys, if you want a recommendation, this album that I just mentioned, Cabretta by Mink DeVille, incredible. And John, not sure if you caught the Mekdeville reference in the recent Elvis Presley, Johnny Yase episode of Disgraceland. Hit me back. Let me know if you did or did not. And I'm fascinated by Willie Deville. And just so you know, John, when I did some live shows a couple of years back, I used his music as my intro music. We'll get to Willie eventually. John, when you do hit me back also, please let me know what you think of Garland Jeffries. let's do some text here the 716 writes in hey musician that guts me with every thought and every word is david burman of silver jews always visceral uh 716 thank you for this this is part of why i love you guys

so much it's um you know i give you recommendations but i get recommendations as well i i have silver jews david berman i believe died a couple years ago right and it was one of those artists that i'd heard of for years but never really had spent any time with so 716, hit me back. Give me recommendation on where to start with David Berman's music. Okay. All right, the 812 writes in same topic here. Hey, in regards to your question, a singer that always gets in my heart and usually

makes me tear up is Christina Aguilera. Man, that woman has some pipes and emotion. As always, enjoying the podcast. Rock on, Holly, coming from the 812. Thank you, Holly. Appreciate you. Holly, hit me back. Let me know which Christina Aguilera song gets you the most.

Okay. give me one song to listen to because I'm not necessarily a fan, but I trust your instinct here and your taste. So hit me back and let me know what you're thinking and start me on my Christina Aguilera tier journey, if you will, okay? 775 text in. Your Lisa Lefti Lopez and your bandmates have just made a joke of one of your most serious songs on New Year's Eve. You're rolling in your grave. 775 is obviously talking about the New Year's Eve performance from TLC with the remix of Waterfalls and the internet is reacting and basically claiming that it was a disaster. It was ridiculous.

And they want their five minutes back. I didn't see it, so I can't comment. But how do you do any Lisa Left Eye Lopez song without Lisa Left Eye Lopez? How do you do that song in particular? I mean, come on. She was iconic. It's like Led Zeppelin without John Bonham. It doesn't work.

209 texts in, hey, that Chris Farley episode rocked me. In the early and mid-90s, I was Farley, 6-3-290, small town, three-sport captain in my high school of 200 people. Saturday nights, I did not go out to party with friends like everyone else. We didn't have a VCR to record SNL, and Lord knows, we didn't have YouTube. I had to be home to watch my idol. He was the first celebrity I saw that I thought I could be, big, gregarious, made everyone laugh, and had pain deep inside. I watched all the skits,

tried to emulate them for my friends who missed them out of kegher in the hills of Northwest Washington, had just as much play with the ladies as Farley. Hell, I even wore 59 in football because I heard he did. I got side by sides to prove it. I saw Tommy Boy in the theaters 12 times.

To this day, the only celebrity who made me openly weep when they passed is Chris Farley. His legacy and antics still live in me. His story is real, and honestly, I had those trajectories laid out before me. So just as his comedy gave me life, the stories of his tragedy have kept me alive knowing I'm just a binge away from the same cliff. Thanks for telling it, J.B. And that comes from the

209. 209. I appreciate you. Appreciate the text. Appreciate your love for the big man. Chris Farley. 201 text in. Yo, it's Gucci from the 201 via 617-410. I got the 411 on those drones. I first saw several five at least on December 12th. And I sporadically seen a few since. They were flying above the Hudson River. about one mile from the George Washington Bridge, and they seem to be flying a distinct path, one following another, fairly low over the river. They were so close to the bridge, in my opinion, there is no way that these are not U.S. military.

Otherwise, they would have been destroyed on site for sure. It seems as they are either searching for something or tracing a pathway. I'm not exactly sure. I really wish they were, in fact, some intergalactic planetary beings coming to take me to another dimension, another dimension. Thanks for the update from the Greater New York, New Jersey area there.

Gucci, appreciate you. 702 on the same subject, 702 wishes to remain anonymous, so I shall not reveal the name. 702 says, I'm a retired military officer, and I worked in the intelligence community. I don't live in New Jersey, and I've only seen the drones online, specifically YouTube. My Two Sense. They are U.S. government drones. US Air Force possibly in conjunction with the Department of Energy looking for something. They fly at night because they're probably using infrared thermal imaging, which works better

in the dark. Think about it. The drones have lights because they want to be visible to air traffic. If those drones were a threat, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, you'd see USAFee, CAP, combat air patrol fighter jets shooting them down. Instead, authorities are telling people not to shoot at them. Cheers. This makes sense and this is probably the most, probably the scariest of all the possibilities, that they're looking for something too dangerous to mention. I don't want to go into that anymore because I don't want to speculate on it because I think it's irresponsible.

But I appreciate the text there from both you guys. Brendan Kennedy on Facebook writes, hey, at the Casbah in San Diego tonight to watch Starcrawler. Those guys are helping to keep rock and roll alive. And I'm reading Brendan on Facebook's message to me here for a reason. It's because a lot of you have written in, on my take that rock and roll is dead to tell me that I'm wrong and that there are great bands out there, great rock and roll bands out there performing every night. And I just have to say,

I have to clarify one more time. This is what I've said from the beginning. Though there are great rock and roll bands out there playing every night, rock and roll is still dead in the sense that it does not affect mainstream culture. It doesn't drive popular culture in the way that it once did throughout the second half of the 20th century in the beginning of the 21st century. Starcrawler, great band. Loka Kani, great band. Lots of bands are still going from back in the day when rock and roll was not dead

in the early part of the 21st century, Queens of the Stone Age, who I mentioned before, Jack White's still out there slinging it. There are great rock and roll bands that I have never heard of who are playing right now, somewhere in America, blowing minds, melting faces in small clubs, basements,

DIY shows. I get it. I know it. I support it. I'm here for. for it. I love it, but it doesn't change the fact that rock and roll no longer affects mainstream culture the way that it once did. Therefore, I believe rock and roll is going, perhaps has gone the way of the dodo bird, the way of jazz music where it is a niche music, okay? It is a niche music that was once dominant on the charts and no longer is, is no longer driving mainstream

culture. Starcrawler, you know, I know who they are, you know who they are. They're fantastic, sure, but America doesn't really know who they are. Okay? So it's our little secret. And that's okay, too. I'm just saying it ain't like it was. And our job here is to talk about those stories from those days when it was great. And we are preserving the spirit of rock and roll as we go in our own way, just as Starcrawler is in their own way. Appreciate the message, Brendan. I didn't mean to unload on you. That wasn't the point. I just used your message to sort of tee up this larger message to make my point. All right, Marie Suzanne Todd on Instagram hits us up. Hey, hope the festive season has treated you kindly.

I'm up to date on the episodes. Now, I love the episode on Shane McGowan. Hope I spelled that right. I'm dyslexic. I wondered if you've ever looked into Kirstie McCall's death in the late 90s. She died in a speedboat accident, which is only half the story. She was scuba diving with her boyfriend and children when a speedboat came into the area they were swimming at. And I believe that was an area where speedboats were banned.

She managed to push her son out of the way but was killed instantly. And the family had to fight for you. years for justice because the guy responsible was a high profile politician, I think. Don't quote me on that. I'm definitely not saying that the guy responsible was a high profile politician, but I do appreciate this text. I'd heard this story before, and I like that you are bringing it to my attention one more time here, Marie.

I'm going to check this out, and perhaps there is a Kirstie McCall episode in the future. Okay, this week's story of the week, you know what we're doing here. This is a new thing we're trying out. I want your stories of rock and roll animalism, stories you love that you've learned about, stories that you've perhaps been a part of. And it can be anything. It can be any story of your encounter with any sort of rock star, your experience at any kind of concert.

Some story you may have heard of or read about or seen in a documentary that I don't know about that you want to tell me about. It could even be a story that I've already told that you find super compelling and want to hear a moron. Hit me up. Let me know what your story is. Okay? That's what we're asking for every week.

And then I'm going to highlight your disco story of the week here in the after party. and perhaps elsewhere. Working on that piece right now. But this week's story of the week comes from the 412 by the way of the 724. Hey, Jake. I'm in the 724 moving into the 412 named Boos. Wanted to share a rock and roll animal story. Early 80s.

Went to check out Rat and Billy Squire. Lots of music center up near Cleveland. Rat was killer at a real good time. Billy Squire is doing his set. and he starts doing a preamble into a song he's talking shit telling a couple of stories and right I just got the urge and I stood up and I yelled

stroke me at the top of my lungs and it was like the whole place right at that particular moment took a breath and I just rung out across the whole freaking place he stopped and turned and pointed out at me and was like that's what I'm talking about brother and they start playing the strip. Here standing up on my arms, man.

It was the baddest ass moment of my life. Have a good day, bro. Man, all that was missing from this is the needle sliding off of the turntable. Thanks for sharing, booze. Billy Squire, isn't Billy Squire from Massachusetts? I think he was. I think he was originally from Newton or something. I could be wrong.

Great story. Guys, again, hit me up. I want to hear your stories of rock and roll animalism. Call me 617-906-66. 638 text me, hit me up at Disgraceland Pod, let me know. Like I said, I'm going to start featuring them here and elsewhere, creating some sort of living document of all this rock and roll storytelling. So when the aliens finally do land in their drone-like vessels in New Jersey,

they'll have something to reference to fully understand the culture of the 20th and early 21st century. All right, so hit me up. I'll be back in a flash with your reviews and your emails and the bonus episode of this after party where I'm going to give you my predictions for 2025. All right, guys, we are back. I'm going to read a couple of reviews here from y'all. If you hear your review mentioned, hit me up, get in touch. Discredeslampot at gmail.com.

6179066638. Voicemail and text at Discracellandpod on the socials, Facebook, Instagram, X. If you hear your review, let me know. I appreciate the reviews. You know I appreciate the reviews. The reviews are how we get discovered, guys. We are in an independent podcast. And the reviews help the algorithms surface the podcast so that new listeners can find the show.

This one comes from Helltown Mark, who writes, the exclamation point, best exclamation point. Five stars. I freaking love all caps this podcast. It's all the sex, drugs, and rock and roll stories you ever heard, and so much more that you haven't. And if you text the host about Seth Putnam from AC, sometimes it gets back to you. Genuinely, some of the best storytelling I've ever heard, even if you've never heard of that episode's subject.

Just a great listen. Helltown Market and Touch, we'll get you some merch out in the mail. Appreciate that review. Moxie 3D on Spotify writes in relationship to our Derek in the Domino's episode. This episode, guys, it was a rewind episode, Christmas-themed episode. We dropped it in the feed, obviously, for the holiday season and did so because there's a beeline story in this Derek in the Domino's episode that is largely about schizophrenia. There's a B-line story in there on a horrific Christmas Day murder called The Lawson Murders. Moxie 3D on Spotify,

says someone who live near where those murders happened with the murdered family. It's disturbing to hear this in such a dark tone.

All right, this one comes from Carolyn Turgeon, who writes in reference to our question of the week last week on on music, songs, songwriters who tear us up. Carolyn writes in and I'm reading Carolyn's email here just because we're in kind of a recommendations mood in this podcast episode. Carolyn writes in, hey, I don't know why, but I've always preferred music that devastates me as thoroughly as possible. So of course, I love

the following. Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Roland S. Howard auto-alumincent, I don't know what that is, Lou Reed, the Berlin album is my favorite, plus dreaming, DeVochka's How It Ends album, Anthony and the Johnson's Hope There's Someone, Magnetic Fields, My Only Friend, Modern Lovers slash Jonathan Richmond. There's a lot there that I'm aware of and a lot there that I'm unfamiliar with that I'm excited to get into. And Carolyn, I thank you for the email.
