Reviving a tradition from View From The Cheap Seats: It's the Mid-Year Music Episode! Randy and Jason are joined by Jonah Ray, Matt Price, and J-Logic to give you the best music they've found in 2025 (that came out any year other than 2025)! Guess along with them. What year/era are these songs from?

All right, see if you can guess who can guess who this is. as he sings I mean he will eventually sing 30 minutes later I have one of those songs just hold on hang on everybody he's got a great voice

whoever does it I love him okay here it comes that's all the time we have that is a show you've been dumb people too just like buzz and fly coming to your life

Can you guess? Or Roy Orbison? Magic Johnson? No. It's not Magic Johnson or Roy Orbison, although those two are. Is it Magic Orpison? He had a famous son who committed suicide, who was a singer as well. I know.

Tim Buckley, Tim Buckley. Tim Buckley. Buzz and fly. Tim Buckley. And with that, we're away and going. It is the mid-year music episode. With that sad hint. oh yeah man

also they don't know if it was suicide yeah no he could have just gotten drunk and fallen in a river yeah yeah yeah Mississippi River either way speaking of good things thanks to that clarification either way a great either way a great light was

extinguished that way let's continue wow unalive welcome thank you it's so good at being coming back again you know if we do this enough Geologic will become white.

Feeling the mayonnaise is heavy right. I look over, I have expected logic to be just slowly. We just dropped a bunch of prunes in the potato salad. We are, this is the mid-year music episode. It used to be in our feed for a Scobro country, and then it was from the chief seats.

Now it is moved over to dumb people town because people have been clamoring for it. We still want to do this, and we're going to do the end of the year music episode. The mid-year, as you know, the rules, which is pick music that You discovered this year that did not come from this year. That was recorded. It could be 2024. It could have been, but it could have been from long ago.

I don't know when. So now this is going to be like, Are we going to try and guess what year? I know, but I didn't. You got to click through to the album. Click through to the album and it will tell you. You click. So while Randy's trying to figure out his phone,

we're going to introduce our guest, Jonah Ray. Welcome to the show. How are you doing, sir? Terrible, but thank you for asking. Welcome to 2025. Yeah, exactly. It is great to see you and always great to talk me. When do you think that, let's figure this out.

We'll start with Logic, too. Jay Logic, welcome to the show. How are you doing? I've had a year. Thanks to these guys, they've helped me get through it. So thank you so much, guys. No, Matt and I were not pointed out in that. Not at all.

No, only these guys. It's really randy mostly. But you look good, man. You look trim and hopefully take care of yourself. He is. And you are. What year do you think that song came from? If you had a guess.

76. Okay. Pricey. Matt Price, welcome to the show. Thank you so much. Great to have. For introducing me and having me. We love having you.

I love this episode. I look forward to it for. I love being here with you for. Yeah. Same. I think about this episode months in advance. You know what I think about? 1974.

974? I was going to say 1972. Okay. Jay, what do you think? I'm going to say 1967. Okay. Aaron, do you have any thoughts on this? Aaron Brungard, our producer, who is out of sorts?

I have a mouth full of peanut butter. Okay. What do you think? Is that your guess? That is the answer. That's right. He recorded it in a mouth full of peanut butter. That's the Tom Wait's song I was going to play.

No, that was recorded. That was Buzz and Fly, Tim Buckley. And that was recorded in 1969. Oh. So the Price is right rules. Who wins? Me? We don't go.

You can go over. You can go over to whoever's closest. But I was still close. Not other. So I've found so many great things. many great songs this year and was introduced to a fantastic podcast that I want to introduce all of you guys too if I haven't already I think I already told you about it but it is called the history of rock and a history of rock and roll rock music in 500 songs Andrew Hickey really

interesting dude I want to say as a rock critic but maybe not he's just a podcaster British guy with a slight speech impediment which you after listening to a bunch of his episodes you kind get over. The best part about his his unbelief he puts disclaimers on everything. He is so concerned

with like one person complaining about something he puts disclaimers on everything to protect his ass. So I'll say I was walking with Dana Gould and I said you just dropped that right there. Whoops.

There pick that name up boy. I think they hear the story more interesting. I'm walking. I can visualize Dana Gould. I want to give Dana the credit for the jet.

And I said, Dana, have you heard of this podcast, the history of rock music and 500 songs. And he was like, a small warning before we get into the show, there will be a mention of a boiled potato. If that offends anyone who was Irish, if you just read the transcript or skip the episode.

He nailed it. He nailed it in one sense. So it is an amazing, you know, I certainly, I didn't start from the beginning. You can dive in in like the episode one, like the late 140s, 150. All the Beach Boys episode are incredible. So they'll take like one song, but that's just kind of the jumping off point.

But there was a song that Charles Manson sold to the Beatles. To the Beach Boys. Never learned not to love. And the whole story, he goes into is a four-part episode and part three is I want to say three hours long. So it is an incredible episode of podcasting, you know, broken up into four parts about this song. And it gets to the song later. but it's probably the best explanation of Manson I've ever heard. His depth of sort of research in here,

it is just a perfect summertime podcast and beyond. Nice. I love it. And so it's got me excited about music. Meanwhile, you know, it's funny about that. When you told me about this, I remember you were so invested in.

I think Georgia was there. Like it sounded so fascinating. And then I go, that sounds awesome. I'm listening to the Diddy podcast. And Georgia was like, okay. I think it was two parts yeah yeah so uh j stop so speaking of i am going to start with a song that i found from georgia that did not come from this year that she got to me and she double she

she brought this to me and i'm sure she heard this on tic-tok but i love this song so much it is a summertime jam this is a song and you may know it you may some of you may know it it's called turn heads do you know this by dem franchise boys okay yeah you got you do know it yes okay here we go turn heads i not heard young lloyd and i'm franchise boys we're whipping it hard and the most school toys got my top down and my trunk got noise we're turning hands now where we from my lord and i'm franchise boys Do you know this, Matt? No, I just didn't know that Charles Manson sold it to the video. Yeah, why would you set up that, this song with that story, right?

It doesn't seem like his vibe. The headlines for Manson did turn heads. Oh, yes. Yeah. So Manson wrote this. I was going to say this now, I guess. He wasn't a 6-9 Chevy when he pulled up to Cielo. That's not a defensive.

I got a girlfriend. I do, though. I do do. I do. She can live in another town, though? I just phenomenal. It's so fun. Put this on, like, super loud windows down and just cruise.

Who is that? Sorry. This is called Dem Franchise Boys. Dem franchise boys. Turnheads featuring Lloyd. Any guesses on the year it came out? I'm going to say 89. 89.

What do you think? 2008. 2012. I mean, I want to say like, yeah, I want to say early 2000. I want to say, I'm going to say 20, yeah, 2000. You know, my answer is sitting real bad right now. 2006. You want to change yours?

I don't. Okay. You said 89? Yeah, I don't. 99. I'll do 99. Okay. Get your answers in.

This was came out in 2009. Oh. Oh. Look at that. Okay. And I just love it. So anyway, we come out the gates of firing stone. Do you really?

Yeah. Okay. It's a great song. So Logic used to make fun of Randy in the past because he said Randy would wait till he dropped his kids off at school and then pump like crazy. Turn into a whole thug. Right. Now I, the songs happen while.

his kids are in the car. Yeah. Now, they're giving him the whole family. You and the kids are straight thugging now. Right. We're tugging our way to air one. That's where we go. Yeah. All right. So, oh, no. All right. All right. Kill time. So this, I, most songs I hear, most songs I hear these days are off of, you know,

K-EXP. I always talk about it. I'm a donor. An amplifier. Seattle. And you're an Oregon donor to them. I'm an Oregon donor, yes. You've offered them your spleen. Yeah. The morning radio show guy said, If you ever need a damaged liver, I got you, babe. And if you could please play, I got you, babe. I'd really appreciate it. Which version?

Just from the clock radio in Groundhogs Day. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah. So it's like I love that station. Like, you know, it's like it's all over the world on the internet. But it's also they have the San Francisco station as well now. And but like it's like they do that thing like, you know, seven degrees. I always talk about this with you guys. They do seven degrees a week where it's like every DJ has to make it from their pick to the next, like DJ's pick. And every song has to have a connection somehow.

I love it. What a great. The hip hop guys always have the easiest way because it would be like, and this was sample. And then like this guy was on it. And like they can kind of run around. You collabed with this person on one thing. But then I heard that, uh, this on it where someone went from, uh, he was doing like a lot of hip up. And then he went from, he played a breeder song.

Oh. And then there's this, uh, is this an artist name. Shad and I'd never heard this before but it's really great and uses Cannibal I love Cannonball. This is one of my favorite songs. This video goes hard. Twins? Yeah, twins. Twins in that thing. Very hot twins. I never heard this.

I'm maxed out. Oh, let's pump, let's give some value to that. That's great. It's like it's Play-Doh when they hit Ricky still can't delegate This is how I get busy I'm just the- It's like he's like he nailed this sample with the beat He's like, let's just let it go. Yeah, let's just let it run. Yeah, isn't that sample, E-Wox singing? No, no, it's from Cannonball, but I think they're able to E-Wox. Yeah, I think so. Wow. Oh, wow. That's wow. So this is also a George Lucas Collette. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that that. It's a

The one thing is kind of, they all start viving. Yeah. Before that EWock orgy that they cut out of the movies. Oh, the Yub Yob Yop party? Yeah, yeah. The OG furry party, yeah. Yub, yub my nub. Anyway, yeah, so this is great.

I love this. Fantastic. All right. Did you guess the year? What year? Yes. Guess the year. I'll go first.

Okay. I'm going to say 2023. All right. Jay, what do you think? I'm going to say 2016. 2018. I'm going to say 2000. 2004.

2000 and 12. Kind of in the middle of everybody. There you go. All right. Great first song. Out the cake. No winner. No winner.

And all right. Unexpectedly to to hip-hop songs. There you go. All right. Logic. Put your volume up because you know. And Aaron, you might give us more juice. Aaron, I only have one side of my headphones too.

Is that a normal thing? Yeah. Unfortunately, that cable is just long. No worries. All right. Yeah. I was maxed on volume on my head. Oh, okay, got it.

He has the best NPR voice ever. Ever, okay. I appreciate you. Logic, what do you got? And I know it's hard. No, no, no, I got it. But my whole thing is like, are there two bands named Air? Well, there was the French band.

There was the French band. Yeah. And then Air Supply. And then I found another band named Air that was from the 60s and 70s. Oh. I didn't know that. Yeah. Amazing.

So I've been so confused for the past. Remember, okay, this is the album I told y'all I found this and it felt like it was so milky I wanted to pour cereal into it. Yes, yes, yes. You do milk first? No. You a milk first guy?

For this one? I saw a kid do that when I sleep over. Like, I woke up the morning. He poured milk in first. I was like, I got to go. Who is this? I got to leave. That's a serial killer.

That's literally a serial killer. Hide all the sharp objects. Hide them. And make sure you know where all the exits are. Okay. You're living free today. Now where to be. We got a lot of time.

Nowhere to be. So, band name Air, they're, yeah, man. Which one? The 60s.

That's what I'm saying. Like, it's, if you play it, I bet we'll have a sense. Okay. Or do they sound really similar? Well, we can guess.

No, they don't sound similar at all. That's why it's just so baffling. Yeah. Also, it's the air featuring Googie. Okay. Oh,

that kind of what's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Googie was like an American Twiggy, right? Yeah. Guggy was a fraggle rock. Ooh. Yep.

Yep. Yep. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Googie Googie Put that in the Guggenheim

The Gugie Heinz. The Guggy Hein? After this, I'm going to have to Google Googie. Googie it, just googie. I'm going to Bing Googie. She's playing a... You're all... She's still a low...

He's still a company man. Still a company man. I'll all bang till I got. You're going to Bing Googie. I'm a Bing man, man. He's wild and sun. I've got a song for saying Bingy with it. So she's doing vocals, keyboard, guitar on this track.

Oh, shit, man. Wait, boogie is? Keyboards are slamming. So this is an American band name Air. Okay. Had no idea they existed until I just fell into him. But this sounds, okay. That's the old, I'm going to guess.

My guess is going to be circling around the older version of the air. Or whatever, the older group air. 71, I'm going to say, 1971. I'm going, I know Googie was big in the early 70s. I'm going to say 74. It's got a little disco vibe. I think it's the older air, but they made this song more recently. So I'm going to say like 2022.

Wow. Wow. So you're thinking that he brought up the old air. I put the day to throw us off. I did throw the stupidly throw to date in the group chat. Oh, shit. I didn't see that. Yeah, I know.

We don't really look at that stuff. I don't look at so. So much media. All right. Yeah. I'm going to see. 74. Jay, what do you say?

I said 74, John. Yeah, it's a good number. Okay, great. I can't agree with you. No, you're right. Bing. I went the other way. I went the other way.

This album said it was recorded in 2009. Yay. Remaster. Is it remaster? It's a remaster. I've looked for everything. I've looked at this said all songs. It said recorded in.

Produced by Tom Coppola. In 2000, it says for 2008, Shine Your Light. Wow. Tom. But the thing is it says, it says, here except joyous flame in 1980. I guess it was written back then. So I was all over

discogs, I was over Wikipedia, everything. 80. And all I said it was like, Air was was an American jazz rock band from this primarily busy in the 60s and 70s. There you go. Googie. This guy, Tom Coppola, he's just one of those guys who, he's like your producer's favorite producer that no one knows

about. Got it. Right. Love it. All right, Jay. What do you got? All right, I'm to pull his dog. If you know what I mean. How silky was that, man? That was so good. Wow. I love it. All right.

So I saw this documentary on a plane. I think it's on American Airlines about the Montreau Jazz Festival and the guy who started it and kept it going throughout. He was this lovely gay man in Montreau who loved music and was obsessed with jazz. FYI Caroline Coppola known as Googie. So that is a lot of Coppola. Wow. Do you think? Yeah.

Do you think Tom Coppola? of two because I think they're married. Who knows? So I watched it and it had a lot of cool live performances because they documented everything. Talked about the fire. We all went down to Montreau. Deep Purple. Smoke on

the water was about the fire at that hotel at that festival and then they had to redo the casino and rebuild the thing. And there were some performances. There was some performance by Edda James who I had heard of and kind of had some knowledge of but wasn't really well versed in what she did.

and then I started digging in and going deep. And because you mentioned, I got you, babe, I'm going to play at a James version of I Got You Day, which completely... This could still be any song from this era. Yeah, exactly. Right. Sunny and Cher just quit the business.

People say that we don't know what love is love. They wrote a banger I don't know if all that's true Because you got me in, baby I got you Oh, baby I got you, baby How much better is this movie?

Infinitely better. Yeah, she was so cool and so raw. Yeah, so much of Janet Joplinner and see the pain of every relationship and every performance. It's so good. She's so cute in that document. She's running like overalls on the stage. Oh, nice.

Just gorgeous bro. She looks so cute. And the musicianship on this song. The drum is so dirty. The bass. The bass. Oh, my God. Who is playing a bag?

Gugi. Is that Gugi on, babe? Googie come on a good. This is George Coppola to googie Coppola. I got you, babe. I got Googib, babe. I got Googibu. I got Gugbiz.

All right. Do we care to guess what year? What year this came out? 75. 76. Oh, this is a re-record. No! All right.

This is re-release. I'm staying with 74 on all my answer. I'm going to say... I don't have the original. I only have the re-release. Should we have them back to it? I'm saying, 73 all right you want to

normally look it up on discogs lick it up on discogs because lick it up and look it up lick it up look it down because this was from like I guess a compilation this is from the shoals sessions oh the muscle like that's muscle sholes yeah the original must have come out like late 60s right yeah that's right now hold on wow that was great You like that? That was a way better version. Way better version. So fun.

And all right, we'll find out. Like Sonny and Cher might disagree with it. Sunny can't do shit. Sunny can't do shit. Hey, where did the original? Here, I pulled this out. Oh, I thought you needed the, that's why I tossed it over. Oh, no, I need this guy.

And that's just our. But thank you for. Hey. All right. folks I had the pleasure of working on more episodes of a regular show

Anyway, that's a different story. Wait, I got the year. I have the year. What did you guess real quick? 74. 75, 76. 73. 1988 88. Oh.

Klesmer band. No. So the Cobra Man is this L.A. band. Very cool. We started listening to Cobra Man a bit in the room. And I just like them a lot. I like their energy. I guess, I don't know if I'd call them New Wave.

And then you'll understand exactly why I put it on. This is Jeremy Stieg, howling for Judy. I'm going to pause it. Do you know, have any idea what it could be thus far? No. Take a guess. Anything? I mean, I know.

Forget you. clueless okay you i have no you jethro toll here we go wow oh wow wow wow wow amazing sure shot if you don't stop This is what Andre 3,000's album should have been. Amazing. Riffs like this, that no one would have been complaining about a flute. Am I right? It's a good point.

I mean, but how good is it? There's not a lot of... Produce and worked on it, so they have stuff with, like, beats and stuff on. Like this? Yeah. Not a lot of hooks. There's a whole lot of stuff they have. Not a lot of hooks.

Not a lot of riffs. Not a lot of licks. So I'm going to get... Speeding it. All right, so I got to get the click on it, and you'll find the album. I did, but I think it's a re-release. So I'm looking into Wikipedia on it right now. What do you think it, when do you think it came out?

69. Oh, yeah. It's got it, I mean, hmm. 71. 71, what do you think? Oh, that's funny. I thought it was going the other way, like, after shirt. shot they did a version but no you're saying they say uh okay uh well it's got to be what

then 70 you stopped it right 70 hold on I'm uh you're doing a good job man 73 73 67 okay oh I got to I gotta figure this out because it's saying 2009 but I think this whole thing came out in like 1980 oh I think 80 was the year it came out but In 2008, it was re-released. I do love that subtle. You can hear the flautist doing that. The breath, right. The inhale.

The breath of the flautist. The not so subtle inhale. There's two, right? Yes. Two flotis. Dueling flutes. Whenever I'm in a Mexican restaurant, I always order two floutists. Anyway, there you go.

That is my second line. All right. I'm barely up. I'm barely up. I'm barely up. I'm barely in. Okay, I guess this will go a bit more with the song that Price played. I heard this is kind of new wavy, hadn't heard before, it sounded really great.

It's got a long, it's got a long intro before it gets going. It's like a six-minute song. Usually I don't think a song over like, you know, two minutes. Yeah, two minutes, three and a half minutes. Yeah. Go fuck yourself. But this one just goes and like I don't mind it. Maybe it's my age.

Maybe I'm getting older and kind of being a little more. don't want to get up and change it yeah well you probably do something around your room it's like well i got time to do a few things yeah exactly and then then you get your air drums going to join a guitar calling ghost of berlin mm-hmm okay oh i like this yeah so we can kind of if you want it's like because it takes a while to kind of build and stuff like that we can start talking about what year we think of this oh

96 okay uh 91 I'm going in the I'm saying in the same sort of Cobra Man way I'm going to say 2019 2019 I'm going to say

2010 okay this is 2017 wow price Johnny, man, there was a time Yeah, there was like a harkening back Something was happening I love that you kick up

And then the singing kind of comes in soon I think It's okay I mean, it's so like late 70s It's very timeless, yeah It's very much of that Yeah, like that Furlin era Like really is right

It's phenomenal Yeah, it's just a little like It's got six and a half Four minutes Are they still Wait, who is they touring as a man Snapped ankles? Snapd ankles, I'm down

Do they tour? Do they tour? So basketball fans I should have looked that up Yeah, yeah They tried to guard Iverson They made a whole album Try to guard white chocolate

On that, snapped ankles I mean white chocolate Is a bad boy Did you see that on the playground He just took someone to school Yeah I love it

It's great It's great phenomenal Snap to ankles Snap to ankles That's a good pick my man Thank you. The main thing is, it sounded, I was like, the intro is a little bit, like, the way he was talking with kind of, like, the intro to space oddity, a little bit, like.

Yeah, there's a little bit of that, like, is communicating. Yeah. Otherworldly. The Berlin era. Yes, right. Yeah, Bowie. Yeah, exactly. Berlin punk Bowie.

Yeah. Clearly Bowie influenced. All right. Clearly. I hear some Bowie in there. I hear a little booy. Notes of Ziggy Stardis. Yeah.

Notes of Moon Age Daydream. There's a hint. Just a small taste of Klaus Nomi. Do you guys hear any Klaus? Notes of Klaus. Klaus Mines. Hints of Gugi. All right. Logic where are you at. It's got to be my biography.

All right. So this guy name is Lou Courtney. So artist. It's a first name. Found this while cleaning out my mom's record collection after she passed. I was like, well, what is this? Put it on. And yeah, man, it's one of those albums where he, he has a couple joints, and then

the rest of the albums is all sang it. Not singing, but he's singing for the love. You know what I'm saying? Luke Courtney, volume up. Let's do this thing. Yeah, my phone hates these cables, so hopefully. Okay, here we go. Yes.

I'll see you on the south side. This is outside. I believe Young girls That base I believe it's all a picture Because they refuse To understand

That I'm going to be Only one woman's man I feel in early 70s Detroit It sounds like Detroit emerales. I heard this, I was like, I'm like, why wasn't this like a top tanning hit?

I think it was, this was a big hit for a R&B charts, for sure, but this should have been crossover, like, incredible hit. Quok, quote, quote, lyric. Feels like it should have been like the lead song in a movie. Yeah, right, yeah. All right, so what year do you guys think this is?

73. Seventy-two. 75 this is one of those songs wait logic did you say this was of that era or because you didn't give anything but this to me is one of those is this one of those like new

like Leon Bridges I don't think you could fake those I don't think you can't I'm looking at Logic's face I think he did 2018 okay he didn't hear

his mom's record collection oh you did okay sorry 27 I didn't listen I did not hear that what year 1974 I said the year you had picked

I said 73 I said 75 you're right in between both of us how good were those that ain't really I said 74 I listen to the bass and the drums yeah

I still say it's 2018 you need to be a longer can you wrap it around again There, and there we go. Lou Courtney on me. Lou, gorgeous Lou Courtney. Diamond Lou Courtney. He has some morning jam, some slow joints for the house.

Perfect. For making breakfast. Send him my way. Set him my way. Put the hash browns on and Courtney turn it up. Set him on away. Stop. Rusted room.

Okay. So years ago, years ago, we were such big fans. of Ozo Motley way back in the day and then Charlie Tuna in C. Jurassic 5. We met some members of Jurassic 5 at a movie premiere of a movie we were in. I met Charlie Tuna.

I met Charlie Tuna in San Francisco with Eva. And he knew us. He knew who we were. He's a comedy fan. I don't know. He just seems like a great guy. So I stumbled across this live version of this song that he did and I can't stop listening to it.

It's from jamming the van. Hmm. So I guess they've done comedy at jamming the van. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I know they're on the west side of L.A. Like Pico in like 30th or something like that. It's, yeah.

It's great. This version of this song, what I love about it is, first of all, I think he's one of the best emcees out there. I think his voice, the specificity, when you hear him, you know it's him. And also, when you hear this, you realize how he kind of can live in the moment and also come back to the lyrics. And I just think this is one of my favorite songs to play to get me in a good movie. Okay, testing, one, two, as I bump my head in a jam van, everybody here, listening to me one time, yeah, from the left to the right, from the side to the side in the back, Tullytuna in fact, right and exact, and it goes little shunt and light.

Welcome to Territon. I'm your host, a friendly neighborhood baritone. It's a bold poet and I don't drink My glass devil will hold a wet Simulet to polar is don't From the crew you thought with this all This is live right now Bass and horns playing line like

I mean I love it It's so good When I was Working at a record store is when a quality control, I think, or power numbers came out. Yeah. And I remember, like, there was a guy came out. Like, he's like, oh, what's new? And I was like, well, I was in the Jurassic Five.

He's like, I know. It's like, I like, I like, I like Charlie Tuna. But he sounds like a guy making fun of old school rap. When he's like, it's like, it's like, my name is Charlie Tuna and I'm here to say. It's such a classic sounding vocal. Right. But the guy, like, but the guy was so, like, underground that he was just like, I just can't get around. He's making fun of it instead of it.

You know what they do live? They would do a magician of The All in the Family theme song. That's awesome. A bit change of lyrics according to them. That's great. That sounds awesome. So good.

So fun. All right. So what year did this? Do you know when this thing came out? Jay, when did he record this? So I can tell you when the live thing. Okay. That's all we need to know.

The live version or the live version? The live, when the live version came on. 2023. 2019. Oh, man. I would say earlier, I'm going to say 2010, 2016, 2011. Great call. Great energy.

I'm loving the music so far. That's called coming through, live from Santa Monica, California, 2011. It's right over there. That's so good. It's actually jamming the van, Charlie Tuna. I love Charlie Tuna. You want to know a weird thing? September 10th, 2001, I was walking down Pico, and Santa Monica High School was right.

there, Sam Oh, hi. And I heard some music coming out. I'm like, that sounds familiar. And then there was an free outdoor concert during the day for the students with Ozo Motley. What? Unreal. Yeah. And I was like, L.A. is incredible.

My whole life is about to start the next morning. 9, 9, 11. Wow. We saw Ozo Motley at summer stage in New York, which was like out in Central Park free concert. And they were, like, they came. came in the opening song Como-esque, Como-esque, but like they start playing like...

And then they all started walking through the crowd in a parade of like bringing the crowd into the show. And that was the day before the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, that's a long ago. Summer stage, 1941. Wow. Incredible.

A day before a day that was... Summer stage in December. It was great. That's what they called it Summer Stage D-Day. I saw they might be Giants at Summer Stage. Different vibe. day before I moved to LA anyway

music really marks our lives yeah okay man okay so I went to L.A. has these amazing vinyl fairs every now and then and um

didn't invite me I went to one I invite every like all my great friends wait I never miss that one invite so weird yeah Bart was there oh wait hang on a minute Bart actually went there

but um of course he Yeah, if I was looking at Japanese imports, I was like, I heard it was like, did you have any, um? I was like, Bart? The bark, he was, he had this amazing Japanese import. Anyway, at this vinyl fair was really cool because they did this thing where they had like a CD swap and a couple days before you would send a playlist based on the idea of what the theme was like where you're from. So I sent eight songs around Chicago and they made, they pressed three CDs for you and you went and met people and swath. with them.

This is like your old party. Yeah, it was like holiday, which was a similar CD swap. It was really, really fun. It was very much me, and I loved it. Went met this guy who grew up in East LA, and he had all these like old, very old school, like deep soul music was in on the CD. And logic reminded me of it. So I want to play the song that was on a CD. I could play honestly all four, three off of this CD.

Play them all. And I'm going to do them all right now. Because I have the don't. Front to back. You can't do anything about it. Can that stop him? But this song is by Doris Duke. I never heard of.

Oh, Doris Day. The Doris Day of David Duke's. Doris Duke's wife. He married. Doris Duke. Oh, I was going to say the year. I'm not going to say. Don't do it.

Be later with George Duke. Say again. You think George Duke that worked with Quincy? Could be. Could be. Sir Duke's wife. But this song is called, the album is called. Her honesty on the song is unreal.

So it's not honest. I'm not understanding what you're saying. It's unreal. It's not real. So it's not honest. It's not real. Wow. On the real, it's dishonest.

Wow. It is real. It is real. It is real. Whoa, whoa, whoa. So real. It's so real. It's not real.

But the album's called I'm a loser. And this song is called He's Gone. Oh, man. It's, yeah. Who's she blaming? We're going to go to break on this one. Okay, let's go to break on this. But this is a little jump tapper here.

That's a tight head. Beautiful. Not going to do it. They're going to sit me up like that. I'm going to start crying. Her voice is unreal. It's real. Yeah, her voice.

Please send me back. Send me back my love. Not knowing life. I was asleep When I should have been away Yep She's sang it Yeah she's really

Taking the blame too Yep Yes That's what I mean Yeah Accountability Who says they're sorry That's a very good right

Yeah Hardward joke Right She treated his friends right Yeah Damn She wants them back Yeah

I messed up. Come on back. How often you hear that in the song? Never. Listen, I was a dick. Yes. That's in the next verse. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Anyway, year, anybody? This is a tough one, because it sounds... Right. It sounds great to me. Sixty-eight. Okay. 70.

Okay. I think this is a newer recording. Some say... Twenty-twelve. Mm-hmm. Eighty-seven. Mm. You are all correct.

Oh, wow. 1970. Oh, George Duke. I thought this was like a new retro soul. But this guy's CD had all the songs were like this. It was so good. And I hadn't heard of most of them. Amazing.

He's like your new MapS. He's my E-S-L-A Mapbath. Yeah. All right, let this take us to break. We'll come back with one more song. It's the mid-year music special. Thank you. We used to do it on View for the Cheap seats.

He's still leaving.

I love that. He'll get the throw of his life. Tell him, though. Welcome back to the mid-year music special where we basically take some of our favorite songs that we found this year that did not come from this year. We're playing the game, Guess the Year. This is the Ladd's song, and I'm having a hard time. I'm literally between two. We'll make a playlist, right?

Yes. How long would you list to begin with? About 20 songs. You? How long was your list? Three. Really? What was yours?

Okay, what was yours? 12 or 15. Seven. You're going to be proud of me. I only have 10 songs. Wow. How proud of you of me? We're very proud of these songs.

Excuse me have 13. I'm not that bad. But still, we'll put together. I'm having a hard time between these two. One will be on this one and one will be my sort of bonus one. So I'm going to play this one right now. This is a song from a band called Drug Dealer. I don't know if you've heard of them.

Oh, wait. with uh uh is wise blood wise wise yeah sure yeah she guests on some time she guests on this song you may know this song but i had never heard yeah sure yeah i never heard this song before but i do love wiseblood w e y-es blood she sounds to me like a young amy man um yeah really i love black blood so she's great and the song is called honey drug dealer and drug cabin those are like two bands drug dealer did madison and like those songs right i believe so right well here it is honey featuring and is my last song but I have a great one for the bonus. Here we go.

When you're not around, will people have their way with words? And you don't have to hear the sound to feel the world. Will I get up and down? Very close to people. A little Lucy Dacus to it as well. Plug it into any Paul Thomas Anderson movie now.

Yeah, yes. I mean, there's a little Karen Carpenter. When I first heard her, I thought of Karen Carpenter. But she is a great album called Andromeda. Yeah. Yeah, she's fantastic. You could have wise. Yeah.

And it sounds like John Bryan produced this. She also gets on. a Tim Heideker song. Oh, nice. That's very sad and beautiful. I love this. I mean, this is just... So good.

Yeah. There's the warmth. Yeah. Yeah. Her voice just is all encompassing. And these guys are great, too. Musically, I just can't do all of it. Mm-hmm.

Slide a guitar on me. All right. What ear as it plays do we think of... Yeah, why did I? He doesn't know how to stop it. He does know how to do it. He does not operate his own thing. This is not unreal.

He does not operate his own phone. Okay, what year does this happen? I'm pretty sure. Well, I know the era. It's like 2018. Okay. What do you think? 2020.

20, 21. 2019. Honey with featuring Wiseblood from the album, Raw Honey, Drug Deal. 2019 Logic with the win I almost screwed it up but there you go song number three

or for the win either for the win she's uh yeah her voice is just I love her I don't know if she's at Coachella

this past spring or the stream before but she had a great set at Coachella so I'm now of the mindset about her as Jonah gets plugged in that I'm like

I'm plugged in so my song is I'm leaving it at that continue you're so good You're right. Him and Maddie are so good at this.

You're right. The best of the best. The best of the best. So, you know, like, I've been dating somebody and, like, we've been, like, making playlist for each other. And then, you know, it's like sometimes. Does she like, is she a big music head or no? She's a very big music head and she, like, has turned me on to a lot of great stuff.

See, this is great. She's Canadian. She's from Winnipeg, though. Well, give me back the plug. And so she's like, what is her music a boot? She likes Chilliwack Gond, Gondg, Gondcham Gond Gond Gond Gond Sala long

Five nice guys But like we heard this song And like I don't know how it came across But like and we were even having like a conversation about like It's like oh did you put this on our shared playlist or did I And like we couldn't really remember So it's a very sweet very nice song I love it

And here's like a little weird aspect to that So I'm watching this past season of Hacks And Hacks Filmed at one of the house that was burned down in the Alta Dina fire. Yep. And so was my girlfriends. Her house also burned down in the fires.

And at the end of a hacks episode, they did like, they showed a picture of that house. And they said, dedicated to all the victims of the, you know, Los Angeles fires. And this is the song. Whoa. The song they used for the end credits was this song. You know how they say your phone is listening to you? Your TV shows are listening to this. Yeah, yeah.

It's probably different for everybody. It's just, you know, but like, it's like, that was. like super weird yeah and then kismit baby yeah and this is uh i'm sorry that happened here it's yeah it was wow it was there that night got them out of the house jesus i had to like it was there was no power i had to undo their electric gain break it open and get them out of there jesus it was wild who's day uh her and her daughter oh my god wow yeah and by that night it was like it's like it's like the fire was so fast like we saw it like coming down the hell and they started hearing explosions oh and like it just it was hitting gas lines and stuff like that it was just wild really really

while. Okay. Yeah, sorry about that. Anyway, so this is a song by Labby Sifery, who I'd never really heard of. Wait, I have it on my thing. Oh, do you know? Is it, okay, go ahead.

I wonder if it's the same one. Bless the telephone. It's a very sweet song. He was an openly gay singer. He was talking about his boyfriend. Who's at work? It's nice to hear your voice again. Yeah.

I've waited all day long. Even wrote a song for you. It's strange the way you make me feel. With just a way. word or two, I'd like to do the same for you. Just very nice, very sweet. Beautiful. I think about like you're not working

and then your partner's working, you're like, when are you going to get home? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love you. But very soon it's time to go. And off this job to do while I'm here writing songs for you. Strange how a phone call.

Nice little. can change your day Take you away It sounds like Jim Crocey meets Paul Simon And it sounds like the guy who sings sunshine Go away today Oh yeah

That guy has that little vocal quality to it Yeah It's funny, it's just like it's an ode to a telephone But anyway, so what we got? 75 75 80 80

78 78 78 I'm very much in love with you. The production sounds newer, though. They're going to be a rebaster. I feel like, yeah, I'll say 76. Okay, 1971, the singer, and the song, original album. The Labry-Sifery song that I had on here that I did not play.

It feels like Sunday Eve summertime to me. It's late but not dark yet. I think you and wife's that video of her own live concert in her bedroom. Yeah, I saw that. She's the Maria Bamford of English Dutch. Bammer. R&B.

All right, so what year do you guys think is this from? Oh, the song is called Sunday Eve. Oh, that's what I thought of was. I think 2023. 2023. 24. 2020. This is a tough one.

say 20 17. Jonah nailed it. 2024. Wow. And I only based it off of like you said like this is something I saw when I was swiping, meaning it had to be kind of racist. I do get old stuff through swipes too. But like that's, my bad.

Hold on. Hold on. Song playing. My bad. I let the whole song play. That was. I did a Jonah. It's called bed music, guys.

Listen to radio. Deal with it. Pulling a joke. Let me flip that around for you. Pull in the Jonah. I got to pull my first Jonah. Pulling Jonah sounds like an 80s song. Pulling Jonah from the show.

So part of me. By bare naked ladies. Thanks guys for giving me the fly. We met Stephen Page. Could not have been a nicer guy. Stephen Page cannot have been nicer. Were you in Canada? No, he came to our show at Largo.

Oh, cool. Nice. He was great and so complimentary. I got it. I got it on time. Cool. I got it right away. The floor recognizes Jason Sklar.

Thank you for giving me. Such respect. I was going to do a Beach Boy song from that podcast that I learned. But I think part of this show is about discovery. So our buddy. I got Charlie Tunis on. Yeah. Adam, Kate and Holland, a great comic from Denver, Colorado.

Once in a while, we'll just send us a link and be like, I got something for you. He's like, this is you guys. He sent us Grady Strange a few years ago. and it's just fantastic. And he sent us this one. This is called Floating Action is the name of the band. The song is called Is the Hugueness Translating?

And when I heard it, I vacillated between saying this is a Jonah song and this is a Matt Price. Oh, fine. There's something in it that reminds. We've always said that Adam, Kate, and Holland is the area between and the band diagram. Yeah.

But I don't know. You ultimately landed on it. It's a logic song. No. So what I love about this show and what I love about music is it reminds me of people sometimes and it makes me love you guys even more. And this song did it a lot for me. So that's why this is my third song is The Hugeest Translating by Floating I.

Well, it's been through your day since I last sat down. Ship's a sacred drink with an Afghan house. Oh, yeah. When it is the time to learn to let go. Sounds like Jonah could be singing. Right? Yeah, a little bit. This is my range.

I think Jonah has a whole outfit based on a song. Yeah. You can float through life with none of those things. There's a living piece that dwells within. But are you strong enough to be my man? But is the hugeness translating? This is a really good guy. This reminds me a price. Is the hugeness translating?

It's a truth be told I've felt that too. Good low five. I don't know. Something about their song. Remind me, you guys, it was sort of whimsical and fun. The lyrics are, yeah, ever. 2021.

2021? 2020. 2. I'm going to say 222 said, but let me go to 3. Anyone say 2023 yet? No. No. No, take 23.

I'm going 2024. Oh, I'm sorry. sorry, the band is Chee, my bad. C-H-E-E-E-Y, and the album is floating action. The song is in the ages is translating. It's 2024. Yay, there you go. Nice.

I hope the people at home are keep an italian who's hitting these. Yeah, because we're not. Yeah. I know, but it's almost as if it's just for us. It's about a real game. It reminds me, remember, there's a band, very lo-fi, one person. Was it say hi to your mom? Oh, yeah, say hi to your mom.

I remember them, yeah. Kind of remind me that. Yeah. That's really good. I like that. It's the hugest translating is also like a very like huge, it's like big concept of like. It's like almost like when you're like on a psychedelic and you're just about to go like, oh. Is the hugest translate?

Is what I'm feeling translating? Is everyone feeling it? Yes. Yes. Yeah. I like it. All right. For my last one, this song was recommended to me.

I don't remember from who to be honest. It may have just popped up. From whom? Jeez. I do remember from whom. I don't remember from who. Hey, Jesus. Thank you.

Hey, strunken white over here. Hey, hey. Who doesn't love a good grammar gag? Folks, but this. Stronk. I put the white and strunken white. Oh, my goodness. I was hanging out strunk and white and Dana Gould.

It was recommended to me this artist, Liz Lawrence, a British, just rock, just great rock songs. It's a song that's, I feel weird ending it on this note because it's like the theme is I think something we're all going through. This makes me think of all of us. But this show always cheers me up a lot. Finding new music always cheers me up a lot. But I know we've all had a very hard time this year for various reasons. A lot of people out there have had a very hard time.

So anyway, the song is, I'd call it a sad banger if that's possible. Sad banger. But I want to play it for you. And I just love being with you guys. Another song I put in the sad-banger playlist, which is a playlist we should all make. Dancing on My Own by Robin. That's a sad-banger. Oh, yeah.
