Welcome to No Filler. I'm Quentin. And I'm Travis. And we just wanted to pop in with a quick intro to this one, our last of our series of best ofs for the year. We ended up splitting this one into two parts. Okay. We sure did Q. I thought you were going to keep talking there.

I did too, but then I just wanted to see if you had anything to add to that trip. I mean, I think we alluded to this on the last episode. We said that there was no way this wasn't going to be a two-parter because of how long it was. And, you know, we had Mitchell on this episode. So, you know, we let him bring six tracks. So five, five, and six. You do some simple math cue. That's 16 tracks.

There's a lot of tracks. And yeah, dude. And when you get us three together, there's just, you know, there's so many goofabouts that. Yeah, that's true. You know, we're going to get on tangents and all that. And yeah, this is, we, I think the recording time is like two and a half hours. So. Yeah. Yeah.

We split it into roughly two hour episodes, two, two hour episodes. And this first one, we're dropping just at the very end of 2025. Part two is going to drop at the beginning of next year. So yeah, here we go. This is part one of our final episode of 2025. Welcome to No Filler. This is our final episode in our best of 2025. And as promised, we're joined by Mitch.

Thank you, boys. Thank you. The official third host of the show. That's right. So this will be part four of four for 2025. Five, part four of four, and you had the challenge of only picking six songs to bring, because we gave you a bonus track. Yeah, they gave me a first cousins five, which means I got to bring six. Thank you for that, because honestly, it could have been 10, which could have turned it at 50.

So I'm glad. Hang on now. Is a first cousin's five like a baker's dozen? I don't know, bro. I just made it up. Yeah, honestly. And I didn't want that up on the fly? That was great.

I sure did. Just off the cuff, dude. Just off the cuff. I mean, there's that first cousin rate joke, right? Like, sell it to your first cousin rate, but that can be not a good deal. Like some people don't like their first cousins. This is the kind of stuff we could have talked about on the Kings of Lian episode, because I bet you they have all kinds of first cousins going on.

You know, okay, so that's a good segue because I got a sleeper song. It's not the one I'm going to start with, but I got one in here that's going to remind you that. I'm going to see if who can call it you or Quentin first, Travis. Okay, okay. Challenge except. But the first song, because I have six, I'm going to go first um is by like a i guess like a seminal from the 90s all darling band called the lemonheads yes sir with the in it not just lemon heads the lemon heads and the song's called deep end as soon as

i heard the riff bro i was like i put down the fucking kitchen knife and went look too was playing it you know and smacked it on like seven playlists right away i mean i know that you're you're a chef so do you just walk around with the kitchen knife all the time all the time or always i don't know Within 20 feet of me or less, there's always like probably three knives, without a doubt. That's great. But yeah, yeah, but the song, Trev, I mean, you're going to hear the guitar riff is just so crunchy and 90s style. It feels like an intro song to a great 90s, like, I don't know, buddy rom-com, something you're going to watch. You're going to hear it, bro.

And it's just sick. And then once I looked at who it was, and I was like, okay, these guys had some staying power, obviously, because they've been around for a minute. So it's called Deep End, dude. And it's kind of like a lot of my songs, I was looking at the lyric. content and a lot it's dark but you know a lot of shit's been kind of dark dude so dude we're all a deep in red now man yeah exactly so that the song resonated not only the guitar hook but the the words to it's just so fucking 90s perfect 90s vibe well apparently there's their first album in six years i would have thought longer so they put something on 2019 pre-covid just before COVID yeah i heard an

interview on uh the weekend edition uh on npr and he yeah apparently he was just he went off the deep end with, like, drugs and even off the deep end queue? That's the name of this track, right? That's the name of this track. I didn't even, I wasn't even listening earlier. So, okay, dude, that's perfect. That's crazy. Well, that's probably what it's about, man, because, yeah, he's writing about his life.

If you read the words, it's bad. He's like talking about coughing up a lung and going to the doctor, double in the dose and this and that. But it's done in such a nonchalant way with this guitar that just is like, it's just so fucking cool, dude. All right, well, here we go. So this is, uh, the lemon heads. And this song is called Deep End.

Here we go. So you're showing on the symptoms, coughing up a ghost, going into treatment, let a tumble down the dose, going off the deep end depends. A question of composure, watch the clouds come over, canary in a coma, I really took a shine to a, going from a line. I really took a shine to I really took a shine So you say you got a two That I can understand On the winter of

You better find stuff a friend Maybe later on a weekend We can Watch the clouds come over You sleep short and other symptoms Coughing up the coast Going into treatment Better tumble down the dose

Going up the deep end depends A question of composure Watch the clouds go over In every end of cone I really took a shine to her Now we're going for a line We're going for a line with it I really took a shine to her

That's how we can't keep a cigarette Well, I keep your cigarettes We can't want to me yet But I wouldn't have my breath Straightforward, bro Like peanut butter and junk Catch as fuck, man Yes

Great, great I got to make a correction here, boys Trive, you said Dad didn't put out music in six years Going off of their Wikipedia 2006 was the last time They released any album With original material

So 19 years years. Yeah, that's what I thought when I initially did the scroll through Spotify as a okay. That makes more sense to me. So I mean, so the stuff that's come out is just like rarities and stuff. I guess. Yeah, I'm just I'm just pulling this from the NPR interview. So to me makes way more sense. Yeah. And here's the funny thing guys. So he apparently kicked his heroin habit about three years ago. And they asked how many, how many of these songs were about the struggles with the addiction? And he says here, I wouldn't say any of them are at all. He says, I like to write about life, like the little things.

Huh. But the deep, when you think about the deep end, I mean, that sure sounds like the deep end to me. But, I mean, maybe that was just, maybe that was just the answer that came off the top of his head during the interview. Sure. But, I mean, I mean, he knows better than any of us. All right. Well, that's a great way to start us off, man. Yeah, I felt like it was going to set a good 90s vibe.

I mean, we're back there, I think, kind of in a, in the rock and roll area at least. But, but yeah, I just Travis, I wanted you to hear that riff more than anything. And there were some cool little drum fills on their cue. I saw you bop in your head at some point when they did some good little drum, stabby fills. Yeah, that was great. But the guitar hook was just, oh, dude. It's like one that, I feel like those kind of guitar hooks are like, they're out there. And then somebody writes it, and it's like, that was out there the whole time.

It was so obvious. How hasn't that been played yet? And then there it is. Boom. Bam. The Beatles could have wrote that. Just took a 19, a 19 year hiatus for him to pull that one out. Yeah.

A lot of smack, man. A lot of reflection. I hope he gets out of that. Anyhow. So, Tribe, you're going next. Yeah, and I've got a great follow-up. Give me a teaser. Yeah. What decade are you staying or going if you had to say? It's all brand new here because this is our best of 2025. That's true.

In terms of like, which I don't even think we mentioned because we really just, we're just jump right into it. I think we did towards the beginning. This is the last one of the year. You should know by now. They know what's going on. These all come out this year. It's all came out this year. So some of you may have known this. um this is all very fresh considering that the the final season just came out have you guys

started watching stranger things season five yet yeah yes sir i'm i'm done with part one okay um i'm just happy that uh that uh will is finally getting his fucking dude man i feel like that dude was just a sad sack the entire i know series anyway uh we may have just spoiled it for people listening well we didn't give away yeah much right right anyway so this is that's a a tangent. The guy that plays Steve is a musician. Yes. And you know, Mike, Mike is also

in a few minutes. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. I knew that. So I forgot the name. I believe Wolf Finhard. That's right. Yeah. For Finn Wolfhardt. Finn. Yeah. It's Finn. Yeah. It's been like that, dude. Wolf Finn Hart.

Finn Hard Finn. Yeah. That would be a good band name for him. Yeah, I've seen him on a, he was on fucking Amoeba, what's in my bag? There's been legends on that. Oh, nice. Thank his lucky stars, bro. He was on, okay, so, yeah, so Finn Wolfhardt or Wolf Finhard sometimes he's done by. Was it an upside down called Calpernia, yeah, in the upside.

So, yeah, his group is called Calpernia. Anyway, Joe Kiri, the guy that plays Steve, is in a band. He fronts the band. His name is Joe, D.J.O. So basically just a different way to spell his name. So I didn't, I mean, I've listened to some stuff here and there. He put out a new record this year and it's pretty good. What I didn't realize about him is that he has a song that has almost two billion plays on Spotify.

I wonder if that has to do with the fact that he's in Stranger Things. I don't think it does, dude, because none of the other tracks come anywhere near it. That's like 80 bucks. Yeah, right. He's made a cool 80 bucks off that. That's like a cup of coffee. That's like a subscription to Spotify. Anyway, this blew me away.

But I'm not playing that song because I was from a few albums back. But anyway, I just thought that was great. It's like, I didn't think you could, I didn't think you could get numbers like that without being like Beyonce or Taylor Swift or something. Yeah, it's got to be bots or something. There was a thing about Drake. Well, apparently, like, the song got popular on TikTok, and that's sometimes how it happens. Oh, bro, that's going to send it.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, I'm going to play a track, the very first track. So this is interesting. He put out a record this year called The Crux. And I'm actually bringing a track from The Crux. deluxe which is the expanded edition of the record and I bring in a track that was not included on the actual release that's actually really freaking good so

this guy's talented man here we got all right so this song again by Joe the song is called T-Rex is loud hey it's been too long as to hear you What a song A man It's worth the way Please tell me up I need this my way He ranks as loud boiling

Pick it out, I'm in heaven I hear that time Leaving my ground, 10 to 7. He wrecks his lapwoman, piggyated up 10 to 7. I hear that's at my feet, leaving the ground, I'm in heaven. Sun,

pick a seat. Got a show. A couple of things Wax Let it play Just listen, boy things will be okay He rents is a bullet Making it out, I'm in heaven

I hear that's on my feet leaving the ground 10 to 7. man, man, man, man, he's at all, don't they're going to get it at 10 to 7. I hear that time. I mean, he's leaving the ground. I'm living. Man, some day you just get it all, don't they, bro?

I know, dude. Just get a fucking triple-threads, too, man. Good-looking guy. Yeah, yeah. Come on. That was awesome, dude. You called it, Mitchie. He's singing about T-Rex, the band.

I love this layering right here, dude. T-Rex is loud. Bolin figured it out. I'm in heaven. I hear that sound. My feet leaving the ground. Yeah, but he took it away from there at the end, which was cool. It wasn't just, he didn't just in which I really didn't expect that kind of.

He took it back to like, I don't know, like even earlier than Bolin to me. It sounds like the band from that thing you do, the wonders. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm talking about there. At the end, it sounded like a frigging early, like, doo-op hit. It was really good, dude. The guitar stuff was cool. I'll say that was way better than a fucking recent season.

You guys sound like you liked it. I think it's kind of fucking shit-ass, but that's just me. Really? Yeah, bro. Did you finish this? We've been away for this? No, not yet. All right, you got to get to episode four.

All right. They spin it around. They get a little bit of redemption. If I have to hear one more fucking unnecessary needle drop, I'm going to freaking drop the needle on my heart with some adrenaline or something. So I don't have to hear you up. I mean, that's, dude, that's been like that. Yeah, for like a decade now because of Garden's of the Galaxy.

You know, that's a tangent side thing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good call, good call. Hang on, is there a needle drop in the new season of Stranger Things? Well, they did the freaking don't, don't. Yeah, they did. I mean, it was barely a scene, and I wouldn't call that a needle drop per se. I mean, it's just like it's every 80s reference you can shove into a show.

Yeah, yeah. Nipper Barry's Rapid Fire and it's hit me in the face with Nerf. Well, and they straight up like Kevin McAllister, the freaking, yeah, they did. Damn me God or whatever. Dimmy God. That was brutal. I'll give you that. That was fucking pretty dope.

Trapping him in the barbed wire. He's all rolling around. Spoilers. I was waiting for when they tied this, when they tied that barbed wire across the door. I was like, they're going to kill it. He's not going to be able to make it out of there.

Yeah, they got to get the tracker on him. All right, Q, what do you got for us? All right, boys. I'm going to kind of bring us down to like a, like a somber mood. Okay. Have you guys ever heard of Downward?

Yes. No, not at the top of my head, no. Downward is Heavenward by Hum, one of my favorite records? Or no? Just Downward. Yes, I have. I've listened to the Oklahoma band. Oh, the direction?

Yeah, I've heard of it. Upward. Oklahoma, huh? Oki shout out. Yep, yep. So this is a second self-titled. It's kind of interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's Downward, Paranthases 2. So I don't, I didn't really listen to any other stuff from these guys. But this album, it's what you're going to hear in this song, it's the mood that it puts you in it's it's really good man yeah i i can't get enough of this album uh so here we go this is downward uh the song is called absolute value Thank you. sitting at one message till you lift up the rock

dust blows off to get away must have lost of etiquette and all else A crawl into your light And meld into the cover It's in a box to fire I When it's on earth just swarms around you

Cut away from the ball And run on the edge of everything Faces back to adequate It's suffering with Too important To end All too hard to understand All the ones

And other hands Are never A picture to Remind alone we saw. It's a one will overrised. All right, man.

Well, that's, that was great. Like, yeah, Mitchell called it in the, in the chat, very, uh, 2000s, emo. Third wave, stay. Yeah, man. Is that, I mean, I'd say I know when I hear it and I thought that's kind of what was to me too. I think so, yeah, for sure. I think so. But I mean, it's not really third wave because now we're in the, what, fourth wave? Do they get a little, do they get a little more aggressive on some of their other stuff here? Does it stay pretty much in that kind of? Not on

this album. Not on this album. Word. I dig that. There are a few that are just a smooge heavier, but not, dude. This is the vibe you get on this album, which I appreciate. The only other record I've listened from them is their first self-titled. And I remember it had a similar vibe. 2018. So yeah, 2018. So very chill, very chill. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They put out a double EP with trauma ray, which was also a band from Fort Worth. So anyway. Yeah, you could kind of even get that. You could lump that, even though that was clearly that kind of emo sound.

It does have that. It's just teetering on that edge of being like it's going to break away into something alternative or real in your face. But it's so melodic and beautiful. The guitars are so clean and piercing. And the drums also very loud. Really pretty harmonies, too. Just beautiful, very, very beautiful. Lots of great textures. I can see it makes me want to drive and see a lot of foliage. Yeah, that's what I feel when I hear that, like foliage passing me on a wind screen, as they say.

All right, boys. So we've each picked, played one song and we're 32 minutes, we're 32 minutes. Oh, yeah, all right, we got to pick it up. We got pick it up. We're going to go to Viagra boys, boys. And the song is called Pyramid of Health. These guys are no misses, any of their records all the way through. Like I mentioned earlier, this is a record I did listen to all the way through,

and there's multiple songs I could have put on here. Yeah, I've enjoyed everything that I've listened to from these guys. Oh, dude, they're fantastic. They're fantastic. Awesome. Some of their softer stuff, they're collabs. They do a cover of a John Prime song. Oh, man, they just kill.

All right, well, this is off their album, Fayag, boys. Yeah, it's just kind of a self-titled in a weird way. So this song is called Pyramid of Health. Hanging out. With a camera down my throat, they say my stomach's nearly fried from eating cigarettes for breakfast. But if I follow seven easy steps, I might avoid my death, the pyramid of health. So come on down, bring your sacrificial goat And don't forget to wear your feathers

And your silly little necklace, And get real high with the shrimp up in the sky And you'll no longer fear your death The pyramid of hell Stood on a mountain and I turned to do Then I turned to dust Little green worm said it wasn't eaten up

So it turned me back Into a bag of meat Gave me a liquor from a meat by cheese He said Drink this sludge And you see what I mean Pyramid a health is in everything

Turned me back into a bag of meat The mirror of a health is in everything Hanging around in a desert on a boat Some guys yelling in my ear about eating cactuses for breakfast And if I follow seven easy steps I'll see visions of my death

The pyramid of hell Put on the mountain and I turned to dust And the little green worm said it wasn't enough So he turned me back Into a bag of me Gave me a liquor From a new bite of cheese There's sludge

And you'll see what I need Who's the little green worm I got to ask you Fresh off the dome What do you think? The little green worm To me is That little night

Sleepy time The nighttime worm With the little nightcap Because Did you have one of those? I think we did, dude And they It's actually still a thing

It just looks a little bit different now. Mommy's Little Firestarter. Like your kids first. Use your kids. It's your kids. It's probably safe as could be. But the Little Green War to me, I guess it's the Earth. I don't know, man.

I've listened that song a lot and read the lyrics a lot. It's fantastic. I love how he just cold opens with, you know, hanging out with a camera down the throat. And you're just like, okay, buddy. Yeah, it does not. I mean, dude, it's just right off the rip. This is a great description of it. On the, on the genius website page for this, it says,

Pyramid of Health is a grotesque, psychedelic parody of wellness culture. Nice. In the dusty aesthetics of desert mysticism and gastrointestinal horror. Which is strong on. Yeah. That was great. No doubt. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a cool one. Yeah, that whole record bang it, dude. Viagiro, boys, however, they've rearranged the spelling. But there's some good ones on there. Waterboy is a fucking great one. The intro song or the first song, really good. I was waiting for him to say cuckoo-coo at any moment, dude. I was getting some, like, I am the Walrus vibes.

Like the whimsical Sergeant Pepper's side of the Beatles. Towards the end, the way I was kind of carrying on, no doubt, dude. And the content, no doubt. How it was kind of just like tongue and cheek. What are you thinking about? Yeah, yeah. Also dark, you know? I want to die if I don't stop, you know, whatever he's talking about.

So, yeah, really cool. Those guys are fucking awesome. Really cool vibe they put off. They'll take you from there. That weird turn. I mean, I got a great, got great tunes to follow. I feel like we're all in the pocket. Nothing like no 180s.

Not yet, man. It's got to happen, though. Guys, don't worry about it. I got it right now. I got us. I wanted our first 180 right here and now. I wanted to represent metal, of course. And I wanted to wait until we had Mitchie to play this track because you'll appreciate it.

So what I did to pick this track, because again, I wanted to represent metal. I haven't really listened to a lot of new metal this year. but in you what i decided to do what i have listened to a lot of in you metal but not new n u metal q um but what i did to pick the song i pulled up decibel magazine which is like a metal magazine and i just i found a playlist that had their their best of 2025 their albums like the full albums from bands that they put on their top 40 albums of 2025 and i hit shuffle i found some good tracks Jesus Christ.

Oh, good God. Hold on, hold on, hold on, I guess. Hold on, I guess. Hold on, I clicked the accident. I clicked the accident. I, hold, I don't know. Bro, for two seconds, I thought you were just like going to call drop us on that on his nothing else said. And I was like, it's going to be the heaviest song he ever plays on this podcast ever, just because the way he dropped it in like a fucking sledgehammer.

You don't know what's coming. All right, here you go. So this is a track by a band called Terror Corpse. The song is called Perversion of War. I'm just that's a All right. I'm just fucking around. I'm just fucking around.

I'm just fucking around. Hang on. I wanted to play. Is that a song from 2025? It is. That is one of their. best up. That's not my pick. I was just, I just wanted to see your guy's reaction to that. Yeah,

dude, that's not deep in. That's like way out lost at sea. Like, you're out of the kiddie pool. You're fucking drowning, dude. He's singing actual words, man. Oh, is he? Yeah, it's not just pick squirrel. Does he want us to know? What he's saying?

I mean, I couldn't even tell you. He's saying it very loud, Quinn, I think he does. Hey, it's in the decibel magazine. It sounds, I mean, it sounds like like pick squealing. You just got to buy the super limited double LP for 80 bucks

with the printout lyrics you know support the local scene. Anyway, all right, let me play my real pick. If you play the, if you play the record

backwards, then you'll know what you say. All right, all right. Now, here's my, here's my real pick and yes, it is still metal.

It is still picked from best one magazine, but I just, different band, different band, different band. I just thought that that was hilarious.

That was perverted, what was that? Gasron. Perversion of war by terror corpse. I hit a claw hand so fast. I was trying to, It looked like I was trying to summon a fucking lightning strike or something.

All right. Now, this is a much more appropriate metal track, and I think, Kee, you might even like it. Man, which I say all the time. I think you'll like. That was funny. That was funny as hell, dude. I think that'd break the ice cream. All right.

So this is a band called In the Company of Serpents. Do all the names have to be so? Sometimes, yeah, sometimes they're a little cringy for a lack of a better term. Yeah, the answer is yes. You have to be right on the nose, huh? Yeah. Right there, dude. You've got to know that you're listening to metal.

Because sometimes there's gold. Like you hit one like, uh, that's insane. That's why you got to weed through the, like Black Sabbath. Even though that's kind of, kind of washed and corny sounding, rib to Ozzy, uh, it's still awesome, right? Like they took something that's supposed to be. And it's an actual thing, too, that, you know, goes back to like pagan lore. Yeah, yeah.

But sometimes there's, there's good names out there. Metallica is arguably cringy. Very. Very. Metallica. Yeah. Metal. It's got the word metal in it.

Yeah. Again, this band is called. in the company of serpents. So, you know, that sounds kind of sweet and poetic a little. All right. I'm ready for it, bro. Yeah, go ahead. I'm ready for the guitar word.

We'll just let you, we'll just see your reaction after we hear this. All right, here we go. So this song is called cinders. We're going to be able to be. We're going to be able to be. I've been gathered To a specter To a specter of myself

Simply and follow A shade all that's left Let it burn love and sisters And bury them them All of my evil were so defied

Desperate and detected Just waiting to die. Let it burn Our sisters yeah delicious dude definitely my speed for sure yeah i was into that i could dig it i like metal i think the most when it's bluesy you know yes when it when it pays homage or it can't get it doesn't straight too far away from it like it's roots bro yeah you know what i mean yeah man and dude i love the lyrics i was gonna say quentin you weren't too out you didn't feel like you were in like a cheesy

bar at like fucking sturgeist or something for some reason i was taken back to like the early days smoking pot, Mitch. Oh, okay. Well, there you go, bro. There you go. I mean, it kind of got some... I mean, stoner metal. I don't know why.

It's like I was listening to Metal back when I was, you know, smoking pot in high school. It just brought me back to that. It's funny you say that, bro. I just, you know, another amoebo that's what's in my bag. Shout out, that dude, Kevin, what's in a, Kevin Parker from Kevin Parker. Yeah. He had a Queens of the Stone Age record, his back travel. I won't tell you which one.

That way you go watch it. He said this song, when I listened to them, it was like I felt like I was on drugs before I actually took drugs. And I was like, bro, that's a perfect way to describe Queens of the Stone Age. Yeah, yeah. So I kind of know what you're saying there, Quinn. I mean, and they're leaning into that. I mean, with the name and the tone and his vocal delivery was my favorite part of it all

that is the gravelly delivery that you can understand, but was still tough sounding. Exactly. Like, wicked, but not for on screen. I don't know if you guys caught that, but, you know, the chorus was let it burn down to cinders. And then he just, in spoken word, he just says, then bury them. And he, like, I don't know if you caught that, but like, I didn't know. Yeah, go back and listen to it. But, yeah, I was getting a little bit of, like, the lullabies to Paralyze era of Queens of the Stone Age.

Some of that, like, clean guitar. Or even Caius. I mean, that sounded more like Caius to me necessarily. I mean, totally. Because of that bluesy. The stoner, the sludge, yeah. It was the, like, the simple drumbeat in the background that you could be hearing some dude just with his slide guitar and his drummer playing that. You know what I mean?

That was awesome. Really, really fucking cool. And the growling delivery. So these guys are from, uh, these guys are from Denver. Yeah, it's going to, really, no shit. Oh, that's cool as hell, bro. Well, thanks for turning me on with that. I'll have to check them out.

The name definitely has left me for wanting, but yeah, I'll have to peep them for sure, bro. Yeah. You know, there's another metal band from Denver called Kimis, which is not exactly my flavor. Dude, we did an episode. They're awesome. Yeah, you did. They're awesome, but it's just some misses, man. Yes.

And I feel like that band might be there, but that song was really fucking cool. Yeah, Kimmiss's, their first and second record were phenomenal. Yeah, they just did like a 10-year tour or something already, bro. That's crazy, man. With chat pile, which I was thinking about. I want to see, but not just for chat pile. Well, if they come to Dallas with Chemis, then that's a must. Okay, so, so Q is it you?

It is me, dude. And I'm going to play a familiar band to both of you because I brought a track from these guys on the what you heard that you were on, Mitch. Here comes a 180. Psychedelic porn crumpets, not a 180, dude. Hell yeah. Oh, okay. I remember this was heavy.

It's got to be from their new record, which I've listened to a lot. Carpe Diem Moon Man is the name of the album. Yeah, bro. I'm excited to see what song it is because I had two on my playlist. But none of them made my top five. Yeah. Okay, I do. It was close.

It was close. One did. Yeah, this, man, this album is just like. It's fucking all over, bro. Yeah, it is heavy, heavy and just awesome. So, yeah, this is track nine off the record. Here we go. This is Out the Universe pours.

Thank you. Is there a lot of song, is there anybody there? Down to the sky, this hands drop yellow, and the pieces of all fare. He blows into his car. And now the universe The only be a common dream that I've had And it's been playing since the day that I was born Oh

And every flickering light's going out of you I said I'm moving that sky And every flickering in light is pouring out of you Feeling in the sky I feel it up on day one I feel up on day one I feel up on day one I know it's like you rely

I saw the one that's going if you were in life I saw a one that's going if you can rely on my night Think you realize putting out of your head Oh I'm thinking me lie Yeah, into your time. Into your time The beginning of you

It seemed like a cool little change up there, Q. Yeah, man. This is one of the only albums of the year that's giving me chills, dude. I'm all poured out right now. I'm all poured out into the universe. Great, man. dude I mean these guys are

something bro the guitar and that couldn't fucking sick yeah man that's the coolest guitar work all night probably will be the coolest guitar work we hear all night indeed I can confirm

I can confirm oh sick dude yeah that was sick well I guess the 180 I wouldn't call that a I mean we did the original 180 but I'd say we're still kind of in a heavy groove there

I'm gonna stay with it dude I'm gonna keep I'm going to keep my favorite song of the year Well, no, you know what? Yeah, I'm going to do it. I'm going to stay in the heavy pocket because I think it's going to flow nice,

especially off the back of that. And this is contemporary metal as of this year from a band out of Austin called D. Spitz, like V, but in German Spits with a Z. Like to spit, I guess. Just like, you know, spit, like in your face or on the ground or fuck,

fuck you, buddy. I got the Spits. Spits. I don't want to assume anything, but I think it's a all-female band out of Austin, dude, and they just fucking kick ass. Sweet, sweet. The record is badass.

The song is called Throw Yourself to the Sword. The record's called Something to Consume. They have a presence, bro, and it's cool Austin Metal that I think Quentin will also appreciate. Let's do it. You have to wake up and find you listening to something deep in your spine. I'm looking down how. Isn't it funny you look your shot? Maybe nothing is real.

You can forget all the mess that you're melding So guess you and me See me, see me, change, change, Johnny, no figure is here For yourself, too short Change what's my and take you have more Give itself

Do I say For the light, knowing No new pictures Can't go away Oh With the lie With the light No one

I am no man I am the main Strong Don't let these are fools Tell you got no Badbrose Dude, that was great to start. Deep with bad and teeth to double.

Dude, that was great. That was fucking awesome, man. Yeah, man. looking de-spits, man. It's funny when you look at pictures of them. This could be haim, man, with the way they're dressed. They don't look like they're about to kick some ass. That's what I love about it.

And they're all kind of like, it's kind of like choose your fighter vibes. Like the bass player's got her own vibe, the drummer, the guitar player, the front person. I got, I got to catch. I got a guy. I'm pretty sure they're playing trees, Travis, sometime in December. Because I follow trees on social. In December. In December, buddy.

You might have just missed them. You got to look at it, dude, because they won't play at trees. belong they're going to blow up like big bigger than that for sure i mean what a great viny to see him in too awesome man Dallas texas uh December 20th oh man yeah it's a good christmas thing yeah there you go i wanted to tell you that when i was bringing this song listen the whole record bro listen this song is like a single from it but i don't care i don't give a fuck i know we do no filler here the song is just fucking tough singles are on the tables are okay for yeah i knew that rule i knew that right hey hey hey i'm an avid listener bro i know the i know the little rules bro we should

I'm going to take us back to some chill, a little bit more laid back. So if you've been listening to the show for a while now, you know that I love stereo lab with all my heart.

It's one of our favorite groups, and they put on a new record. I got to see them live last month, and it was phenomenal. So this is a group from the 90s. They are classified primarily as avant pop. But I would say they're a little psychedelic as well in certain instances. So they put out a record, and this was like their first record in a while. And it's fucking great, man. There's nothing to hate about when stereo labs playing.

So here you go. This song is just going to speak for itself. So here you go. The song is called Vermona F Transistors. We are We are serving We conquer with Tecannanese

Millennia Two sacred decks Subjugated Slants and figments Be observant Here to the ground empowerment generated the architect by yourself, not the joker. Who will profess to be master? The Jokers Who Declers?

And advice April 1 Into May 17 Can change your life? With them to attention to ordain ocean but support

I'm a creator of this reality, I'm the creator of this reality. You've got to draw. Money mutations the face of the shadow honor and expand the fruits of the inner

I'm the creator of this reality I'm the creator that they see the who face the love of me I'm still being the shadow, the old day, now it too, from the high to the moon, waltzing the light within. at the end. I love that shit. That was a journey. Really cool. Really cool. They're dropping some why to spoil our live gurus in that dance number. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These guys are master's men.

They've been doing it for 30 years, you know? And yeah, so she's French, the singer, and I actually brought a track from her earlier this year. Her name is Leticia Sedier. She's fucking phenomenal. So I'm just going to say this, and I'm going to read some lyrics. So before they played the song on stage she said this song is about freedom freedom from kings and then she started singing in this song and here are the lyrics i'm the creator of this reality not the joker who pretends a god to be and then she says manipulations the fruits of the shadow are at play unearthed and exposed the fruits of the ego are at play who's she talking about gentlemen Bro, it's fucking, that's fantastic.

I totally, God, I love when somebody a singer, one of my last songs of my two is going to have some lyrics that I want to stress on that have helped me. And it's kind of like, it's nice knowing that, okay, a musician, an artist, whatever is having to vent in a way that I can relate to, they see the same shit, they hear the same bullshit, and they get it out somehow. And they did it beautifully there in that dance track. But if you pull back the lyrics, that's awesome. And even the lyrics are still poetic and beautiful and not so direct. awesome right right like a punk rock ethos at its core you know what i mean yes you got a love a band that comes yeah a band from another country that's going to come and tour and like entertain us and not be afraid to be up there and be like hey man i understand

we we understand what you guys are going to yeah it's one planet bro and there's one groove in that way and yeah how the hell are you going to have a fucking i don't know bro like a french dip sandwich and then hate on france is fucking insane or listen or you know like how you're or fucking macro how are you going to have taco tuesday and then fucking Port Ice, but it just fucking blows my mind, boys. I can't. A little croissant. Amen, brother. But yeah, that was a banger. I was struggling. Stereo Lab. I've heard the name everywhere, and it feels like I should know

like 20 songs by them, and I pulled up my Spotify, and I got nothing to no playlist, but I've seen that they've been around for a minute. So yeah, that's great. All right, boys. Okay, Wishy has been my favorite band for the last two years, and they have been dropping records the last two years. That's a record, bro. That's a spree. Or a streak, I should. Dude, they're so awesome, man. And they, from the album that they dropped this year is just a little EP. Between that album, it's called Planet Pop Star and Triple Seven, which is their full length

from last year, I mean, they're going somewhere awesome with their sound. And we actually, this is going to be a two-parter, boys, because the, the two songs just kind of like bleed into one another. It's like, you know, it might as well be one song. So we're going to play just a little bit of the first track. and then we'll play it the fade out into the next one. So, yeah, this is the last two songs on Planet Popstar. This first one's called Portal.

Pull to my new world. It's a forgotten affair. When this to my bleed twirling, turn around to step, yeah. You asked me to choose. to simple taste it I don't mind lose how I have you know it always had

you know it's happening Oh Oh Oh Ooh Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah Suffolk Imposephaticated impulse psychopathic side and bends My sense is And we're wishing I'd forget Yeah, I sweet tunes

It's a simple test big But don't want to lose What I never had You know it always had me Like New School in my is New School of my

Groovy. Yeah, that's excellent. So what's, so there's a second part, eh? Yeah, let's just go right into it, man. Let's do it. So basically it just fades in where it left off. We'll save our comments for later. Yeah.

Yeah. So this is, so the end of portal leading into track six, which is slide. So you want us to hear that transition? I do. I do. All right. Let's do it.

Thank you. So, you know, I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to be able to be. This moment might finally open my eyes, like the dream and crying true, because I keep feeling my fascination slide, Slide to the other side This place will be half empty

I'll have tried Guess I'll take a sip Cause I keep feeling the fascination slide Keep feeling the fascination Side to the other side I'm not effortless, dude, I'm just effortless, dude. Like, I kept thinking that that was, that it had a transition, that way. There was still so many transitions.

There was a long outro at the end of Portal. Yeah. And then it just... Yeah, I'm saying like the way that Portal transitioned to... Yeah, yeah. To its outro was so, like... Yeah, it was like three little songs to me. Yeah.

It was Portal and that in-between bit and then that second part there that you played. Dude, and speaking to effortless, that's what I feel about this band. I feel like they don't even have to try. Like, it just comes out, man. Of all the stuff I've heard from them, there's so much range to that. Mitchell, check out Triple Seven and Planet Pop Star, these last two albums that they released the last two years. Fantastic, man. Yeah, it's a funky vibe.

I felt like I was in like, I hope this had no offense, but I felt like I was in like an alien mall. Not like it was music or anything, but like I was in an unknown place with an unknown jazzy sound. Yeah. It was fucking awesome, dude. It's really cool. It's very ethereal. That's not even my favorite songs on the record, dude. The whole EP is great, but yeah, that's, I didn't even bring my favorite one.

Cool. It's awesome. Really cool. All right. So that was part one. Keep an eye out in your feeds. Sometime next week we'll be dropping part two. And, yeah, dude, I got nothing else to say.

How about you? So this is the intro for part two. Nope. This is the outro for part one. Because there's no proper outro, Tram. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, there is really nothing else. We're just trying to put a bell on this episode to close it out.

We're trying to be courteous, you know? So, yeah. But, I mean, I think the next one's in your feet already. So just, you know, if you've got nothing else to do. Is it, though, Trave? I don't think it is. Because I'm hoping to get this published today. Oh.

This is how the turkey gets made, folks. Oh. Is that the expression? No, it's not. Oh, what is it? how the, how the, how the, how the, how the, how the goose is made. What? You don't know what I'm talking about? I don't exactly what you're talking about. I think it's, this is how the sausage. It's how the sausage gets made. Okay. Okay. Um, yeah. I think we talked about at some point that they were going to be back to back.

But you got, you know, it's taking you a long time and put these together, which is understandable because it's, uh, it's a holidays, dude. I got two kids and I got in-laws in town, man.
