They're unstoppable.

So, yeah, I mean, if you're no stranger to no filler, then Alton Gune is no stranger to you. Because I feel like these guys have popped up on the show ever since. I mean, I remember the very first track that you shared from them was from this record here. Gisie? Yes, it was. 2019. I think it was the first song on the record, Yolku, I think.

Yeah. Can't remember. But yeah. Yeah. And I'm pretty sure this band probably showed up on our best of the decade playlist. For sure, man. Yeah. I love everything that they do.

Yeah. They're just so unique, right? And so if you don't know who these guys are, they kind of describe themselves as a Amsterdam-based Anatolian rock and Turkish. psychedelic folk band. It's Middle Eastern, right? I mean, and it's very traditional, too, in some aspects of it. And you hear that on this.

And the way that she sings, too. Yeah. Yeah. Apparently, this record here is kind of more of a return to that form. So they put out a record in 2021 called YOL, and I think it was kind of a sidestep from this more like traditional sounding, like, local stylings and stuff like that. Yol to me is like Currance is

with Tame and Paula where he kind of took a side step. Now he's completely in that now. You know like in the early days of Tame and Paula it was like inner speaker. It was way more just heavy psychedelic rock. And then Currence came out and it was like a disco psych rock

kind of thing like dancey, super dancy. Or like sung tongues and Mary Weather Postpillar, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I mean with With with with currents, like that, that's when Tame and Paula is, is headlining, you know, Coachella and stuff like that. Like he's been elevated to that level with, with currents because, yeah, they were just

like these super catchy poppy dance tracks is what he started doing, right? But it was still, it was still Kevin Parker doing, doing his thing, right? But now he's, now he's got a song featured on the Dungeons and Dragons movie, apparently. What the heck? Wings of Time. Yeah, I'm going to go see that tomorrow, by the way. Should we, let's just outro with that. No, I've actually got another outro on mine, Kuh.

Oh, okay. But yeah, maybe that's like the in-credit scene or something like that, but that'll be, I actually didn't realize that until I just saw that on a Spotify. Otherwise, I would have been kind of shocked. I'd be like, is that Tame and Paula? That I'm hearing right now. Anyway, so Alton Goon, they just put on a new record called Ask. And that song that we just played, it's called Sue Saseo, I think is how it's pronounced.

but I'm going to read a little bit from the album notes, the liner notes here. So it says here, ask is the closest the band has come so far to capturing the infectious energy of their live performances. It's definitely connecting more with a live sound, says bass as jasper or holst. We as band just went into a rehearsal space together and created music together instead of demoing at home. So I think that was another thing that Yole was kind of characterized for like this was their pandemic record. so it was kind of produced in those different kinds of ways. Like he's saying demoing at home. So I guess they all probably did their own separate tracks at home, right?

And then it just kind of came together and it turned into a record, right? Yeah, that could definitely be when that you experiment a bit more because you could be like, hey, here's a little ditty I'm working on down in my basement all by myself with an eight track or something. Yeah. Where can we fit this in? Yeah. And apparently with this new record, even their. recording process was more like you did in the 70s making a rock record is what he says.

So he says, it doesn't just mean getting six musicians together at a room with a few microphones. It's also about the gear that we are using, the tape and everything. So anyway, go check out that record. It's amazing, obviously. It's just such a, it's such a unique sound. You're never going to hear anything else like Alton Goon, right? Right. I feel like they have a sound all their own, right?

Anyway, okay, so this is our May episode, and we're going to see a cue. Are we just going to hear more stuff from your record collection? No, no songs from the record collection tonight, dude. Okay. Have you actually been able to get out there and listen to new things? Yep. You know what, dude? It's on my drive to the grocery store.

There you go. I mean, you've got to find your time here and there wherever you can. Yeah, and I like to either wake up super early, like before Sarah and Ronan are up and do like a, because there's, the grocery store I go to is 24 hours. So I can get up at 5 a.m. for a nice crisp morning drive. And the music hits different that early, dude. Or I like to do a night drive to the store after. And I feel like the music I would choose to play at 5 a.m. Yeah, definitely different than what I'm going to listen to on a night drive.

Man, it's dude, and up here it's just fucking gorgeous in the morning, dude. Oh, I bet. Like all the birds are starting to come out. Every single one of them. All of them, dude. We got lots of birds, lots of wildlife out here. Yes, dude. I have had a chance to listen to some tunes, so it's good.

And, you know, dude, it makes these monthly recordings that much more special because I get to jam out to music with you, I don't get to do that as much anymore. So let's bring on the tunes, dude. All right. What you got? So I'm going to kick us off today. You know, we don't even have to explain what the format is anymore. We're done, dude.

Anyone who's still listening to us have been listening to us for years. You know, that's actually something I wanted to ask today. I'm curious how many new listeners we have. If this is your first time hearing a no-filler episode, reach out to us on Instagram. We're not going to hear from anybody, but if we do, I'm just curious. I'm just curious. All right.

So I'm going to kick us off. And this is a group. Shout out to the Shugay subreddit. This is not really a Shoegays band. But somebody, I think what where this came about was as a comment to some other Shugay song or some like demo. Because sometimes, you know, up-and-coming musicians and, bands will post songs on the suburb. We'll like, hey, we just dropped our first EP.

What do you guys think? That's a really cool thing about that subreddit. Yeah. It's just the community is full of musicians and fans alike. And you can, yeah, you can discover a lot of great music on that subreddit. Yeah. And somebody thought to mention this band called Ninth Paradise as like, oh, it kind of reminds me of this ninth paradise song.

So I never heard about these guys. And I've been pretty impressed with their two records so far. So they put two records out, one in 2012 and one in 2016. So the band doesn't exist anymore. So this is a like a dream pop indie duo, I guess is the best way to describe them. But like you can tell, like 2012, 2016, they sound kind of like the type of guitar-driven indie music that you and I were really into back in the day. So I'm thinking like, actually, You know, let me just see what you think you.

I don't want to plant any seeds. Let's do it. This is the self-titled record from a band called Ninth Paradise. So this is, again, a duo, just two guys. I'm going to play the first track off this record. This song is called Picture. That's tough, dude. Reminds me of like Sunbeam Sound Machine.

Remember I brought one of his tunes, I think, for our best of 2022. or Yacht Club. That guy I'm also super into. And those are newer artists. Yacht Club is... Sunbeam machine's been around since the early O's. He's been doing the, you know, chill wave stuff since the heyday,

you know, since the beginning of that shit. But, you know, no, Yacht Club is a branding artist and he's spitting out new stuff all the time. And it's in the same vein. It's like the kind of like, Like beachy vibe comes to mind. But I think that's under the umbrella of like dream pop. Because, you know, when you think beach vibes, I know this is stupid to say this right, right?

I say the word beach. But like, you know, beach house, beach fossils, real estate. Right, exactly. That era. It's jangly pop in a way. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I love it, man.

But yeah. But I mean, the thing about this group too, though, you know, that was just one of their songs. Their 2016 record, which was titled Two, because it was their second record, had a lot more. I thought of the stills a lot, unlike, you know, the stills guitar style of that kind of style, which is great. So anyway. Well, speaking to early 2000s, dude, I'm just going to segue us right in, dude. So I got a text from my nephew-in-law.

This is my niece on my wife's side's husband. His name's Wesley. Awesome dude. I think you've actually brought some of his songs before. I did. I brought a song from him. Yeah, a while back. He just texted me a few hours ago and said, with a picture of the stage and said,

we're at the M83 show, man, we're so stoked. He's about to come on. And I said, dude, tell me if he plays Asterisk from before the Don Heels us. it's a ripper of a song. It's one of my favorites of M83 from that era. So I cued it up. I just played it earlier today. We're going to play it right now, dude.

Get ready to get your socks blown off, bro. Because this one hits quickly, and it just barely lets up. All right. Again, this is a song from M83 from the 2005 record before the dawn heals us. This song is called Asterick. That's a song that you start a show off with, right? I can almost see that being like a, like a, like, you know, a way, just a, the band is

coming on to the stage and then they just go right into that. That would be a great way to start a show. The thing is, I don't think anyone is going to an M83 show nowadays to hear that song. It's came out so long ago. It's one of the only songs I think on the record that's just instrumental. And it just fucking rips your face. I'm not familiar with these guys at all. Do they sing typically?

Hang on a second. You're not familiar with M83 at all? No, I'm not. I'm seriously not. Whoa, dude. Yeah. Well, it's actually just one guy. I don't know if it's always been just one guy, but it's just one guy now. But, whoa.

I mean, that album hard, I feel like we must have featured. Did we feature that on new destiny? Absolutely. Okay. For sure. I mean, Nuda started in 2009, but I recognize this album art. They brought back that like 80s, heavy, like grungy, almost synth sound to the early 2000s. Like Starfucker, right?

Yeah, well, I was going to say they were on that group, Health, which we actually did an episode on. That was one of the episodes that you were not featured on. that was with Nathan Forster. Dude, I remember I was such a D-bag, dude, thinking back to this. I used to crank up my stereo driving out of the parking lot in high school, dude. It was probably so obnoxious, but I would play like, I don't know, Aurora, random stuff that I thought was so cool that no one else was listening to. I used to do that too. I know I cranked up this song.

full blast like a turd I used to do that too for some reason I thought this will make me look cool this one yeah this will look the ladies swimming

usually what I would crank up is like like whiplash by Metallica right dude what a classic like 16 year old move I know but yeah I must have sounded like shit

you know because it was yeah it's probably so loud yeah and that was that crappy Chevy tracker right

anyways so yeah Treves give this album a listen dude this this is the only M83 that I really like like or Saturdays equals youth that's another great one

that came out after this but then I honestly I stopped paying attention to M83 after those two records so I got some old school M83 fan give it a shot give it a shot dude so again that was Asterick from

Before the Don heals us by M83. I'm going to pass it on to you, brother. We've got to rapid fire this motherfucker. Yeah, you're right, dude. Let's pick it up, but not sure. Speed-wise. Tempo-wise, I'm going to slow down a little bit. This is a band called Pylon, and they are from Athens, Georgia.

And if that name rings a bell, that's where REM is from, and also the B-52s. So this group, Pilon was. in the alt rock college rock scene alongside R.M. and the B.52s like at the same time, back in the 80s. And they never really garnered the same success, the level of success that these other groups did. But, you know, there were still as much of an influence on the music scene in Athens, Georgia, as R.A.M. and B.52's. And the song I'm playing, R.m actually released a cover of this song on their compilation record Dead Letter Office, which came out in 1987.

So that's going to be our outro track is REM's cover of this song, which is pretty cool. Nice, nice nice. So anyway, if you're an REM fan, you might recognize this track, but this is the band that played it first. So here we go. This is off their 1983 record called Chomp. This song is called Crazy. I love that stuff.

Like darker stuff. Yeah, I mean, right. I mean, this was, you know, the college rock, alt rock. Like, this was the origins of it, man. You know what I mean? Like, this is with what R.E.M. did with it, right? And sort of, like, created the, the alt rock sound that we kind of know and love, right? Like, this was, they were part of that, the creation of it, right?

sort of the jangle pop guitar sound that you heard right there yeah and that's talking head just since you mentioned it so pylon this group uh founded by founded by the guitarist randy beulie and bassist michael lakowski university of georgia art students inspired by the likes of television the remones there we go and talking heads so two out of three of those artists we've covered on this show just don't out there. Yeah, and we've covered R.M. Of course, too. N. R.m. So, yeah, Vanessa Briscoe, I want to shout her out because that's the vocalist.

And I just, I love what she's doing on this record, you know, with that sort of like very soft kind of vocals, almost spoken word almost. That reminds me of that artist that you brought a few watches back. Well, they're not called Twitch anymore. A few episodes back. Lizzie Merscher de Klau, whatever, De Klu. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean? Yes. Yes.

Yep. Same era, I think. 100%. 81 was when that album came out. Mabo Nassau. Uh-huh. Yep. Which I've revisited a awesome album.

Really great. Yeah. A awesome album, yeah. Yeah. So let me read this little write up here on Pallon. The group's propulsive angular jangle pop sound resonated not only with the Athens creative community, but throughout the American pop underground of the 80s. And though more heard of than actually heard,

which is a kind of interesting phrase. Their role as elder statesmen of the alternative rock explosion is unassailable. So they've earned the respect of the people in the scene. And it carries through to this day. Yeah, their influence on the alt rock sound in general is undeniable, right? So anyway, that band was called Pylon. Check out their music. It's great.

If you like that early 80s, alt rock, college rock, jangle pop sound, these guys are great. All right, Q, I'll throw it back to you. What do you got? Dude, I just could not be a better song to follow up, man. So I think it was me. Could have been you who brought a song from Madeline Goldstein. Sure does ring a bell. Former front person of Portland's infamous and long-running synthepot.

outfit fringe class. And they bring the same style of music, but they're contemporary, like they're dropping singles left and right. Same vibe. And they've got this playlist called Presence that they've curated themselves. It's on Spotify. And it's full of music just like this, man. Maybe like a little bit darker, like dark wave kind of stuff.

Okay. I like darkly. Yeah, me too, dude. I'm getting more into it these days. And I stumbled upon this artist named Eliza. No, let's go with Elisa. Elisa Wout. It's an album from 1987 called Comedia.

And we're going to play the first track off the record. You're going to love this, dude. The song is called Four Times More. There's just too much good music out there, Q. That's just, there's just too much out there. I know, man. I know. I feel like every month I'm discovering something that, you know, like, it's just, I can't, I can't do it Q.

It's too much good music out there. You know what I mean? Look at the numbers, man, on Spotify. Enemic, it would be the word. I wouldn't, never in a million years would I find this stuff. If it wasn't for Madeline Goldstein. Yeah, it's just, you know, maybe that's the best song in her discography, right? Just think about the infinite amount of music out there just waiting to be heard that's never been heard, for me at least.

I mean, obviously people listen to this music. I'm just saying, I love finding bands I've never heard of, artists have never heard of, genres have never heard of. John Reyes have never even tapped into like hauntology. You know, we just kind of got into that last month. Right. It's just a never-ending bottomless rabbit hole to just fall into with music, which is what I love about it. And what's so great about this podcast. And hopefully, hopefully that's what you guys enjoy about this podcast is just, you know,

hearing something you may never have heard before had you not tuned in, you know? Just hanging out with a couple twin bros jamming out to music. And again, that was Eliza. I'm going with Eliza the next time. I switch it up. Eliza, yeah. The album was Comedia. The song was four times more.

I'm going to pass it to you, Travis. I think we have four times more songs. Yeah, something like that. Something like that. Man, I got it too easy for you, Q. This is shout out to Reddit again. I think I saw this posted on the, On the vinyl subreddit, somebody found a copy of this record and was ecstatic about it.

This is a artist named Masayoshi Takanaka. A Japanese jazz fusion guitar player. And the record in question is called The Rainbow Goblins. Is this ringing any bells to you? No, but that's a sweet album cover. It is. It is. And a sweet name for a song.

I mean, for a record. Yeah, it's a concept album. It came out in 1981. And so it's a story that's being told about Rainbow Galvest Q. What more do I need to say? So I'm just going to jump into this track here. So I think this is going to be, it's going to speak for itself about kind of who this reminds me of Q.

And I think it's going to be pretty obvious to you as well. But yeah, just remember 1981. This is a Japanese jazz fusion. guitar player. And what's great about this record, because like I said, it's telling a story. So there's a narrator that kind of speaks throughout the whole record. This track I'm going to play here, it's called Thunderstorm, and it's got just a brief little intro here. So here we go. Again, this song is called Thunderstorm by Masayoshi Takanaka. The goblins were awakened when it began to thunder in the distance. Great, a wild storm, they said.

knowing that the most wonderful rainbows spring from the biggest thunderstorms, they began to dance. I would love that. Our father. That's right. That is some dad tunes, specifically our dad. Why do you think he would like this artist? Like, who does he remind you of? I mean, it could be like Andy Summers or, hell, Andy Timmons, but like with more jazzy vibe.

I was thinking Larry Carlton, who contributed to a bunch of steams. Deely Dan's solos, right? Not to mention like the solo solo group. But also like there's some Jeff Beck in there too. Not necessarily in this song, but some of the other tracks on this record are definitely more kind of along the lines of like the blow by blow era Jeff Beck, right? Which especially, I don't know if you heard the bass player on that track, but it was, I mean, I was getting some blow by blow.

Whoever the bass player was on Blow by Blow. Yeah. Could have been the same guy for all I know, but yeah, probably not. Anyway. That was awesome. Again, dude, there's not enough time on this earth to listen to all the great music out there. Now I'll be looking eyes peeled for this record, dude, anytime I go into a record store, because that would be amazing telling this.

So I could see why this guy was so excited and wanted to share that with the vinyl subreddit community. So it's one of those records, probably like if you know it, you know it, you know it. If any store is going to have it, it's going to be Josie Records, man. Josie Records. Dude, you know they opened a sister store in Plano. I heard about that. Well, that's where you live. It's where I live, Q.

It's right down the street. Oh, shit, man. You're fucked. I know. Say goodbye to your hard-earned cash. All right, Q, I'm going to throw it back to you. Where do we pivot from that? Could be a 180 time.

Well, dude, I got to pay respects. I said I would. It's got to happen. One of the members of Yellow Magic Orchestra passed away. I think it was last week. Dude, what a perfect segue, because this is another Japanese artist. I know, I know.

I'm going to butcher the name, but Ryuchi Sakamoto. And we've mentioned this group. Yeah, I think we've played. I've played multiple tracks from this group. And I believe both the songs I brought was from this record. So they were a pioneering electronic synth pop group from the 80s. Heavy, heavy influence on multiple genres. to spawn from from that era of electronic music.

And dude, there's just something that hits different about their music. It's weird. It's very weird. A lot of it is just like beyond weird. But there's songs that sprinkled throughout the weirdness that are just freaking killer, man. And I think he sings most of the songs. The one I'm bringing tonight is he's. credited for the lyrics of this song.

So that leads me to believe he's the one singing on it. So this is a track from Yellow Magic Orchestra's Technadelic from 1981. This is track four off the record. It's called soul music, isn't Seoul Korea. Those guys were just trailblazers, man. That's what I'm saying. In a lot of ways. Yeah, I know.

A baseline was killer, by the way. Baseline was clearly, but like, you notice all the sampled vocal tracks that they were using to make a bunch of the beats and a bunch of the sounds that you heard were their voices, you know, sampled and looped. Yeah, I love that song, dude. It's got such a drive to it, you know what I mean? Yeah, lots of great songs on this record, man. Awesome. I know I brought another song from this record a while back that just hits totally different than this one. Yeah, I recognize the track name Gradated Gray.

Maybe that was... That's one of the ones I brought, yeah. Yeah, that's the one. Apparently, Thurston Moore covered that song. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth back in 2008. Awesome. For an album called Strange Songbook. Yeah, that's awesome, dude.

Really cool. Raiuchi Sakamoto, you will live on forever, my dude, in your awesome tunes. rest in peace. Pass it back to you, brother. Just got a few more tracks each. All right, we're going to make a left turn, or 180, you might say. So this is actually a group that I shazammed to discover them. It was this documentary I was watching about this photographer.

I should name the documentary, but I forgot it. So it's all right. Anyway, it was a documentary about a very well-known photographer from New York who sort of lived in and around like the 80s punk art scene back in the day. Like Sonic Youth, you just brought up there's some more. Yeah, well, 70s, 80s. Yeah. Anyway, this is a group called Bush Tetras. They're a post-punk no-wave group from New York City, formed in 1979.

and I'm just going to play a track of theirs that I liked. I pulled up their their best-of record. So this particular song is off of a single of the same name. So this is a two-track single that they put on 1981, and this is the A-side from that record. So here we go. This song is called Things That Go Boom in the, night by Bush Tetris.

Back in their heyday. So that was New York, you know, coming up in the same scene as Sonic Youth or I guess maybe slowly before Sonic Youth? Perhaps, yeah, because I mean, this was late 70s, early 80s. Let me actually, you know, I looked it up because I wanted to actually say the documentary. The documentary is called All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, which was about this photographer named Nan Golden and the downfall of the Sackler family. the pharmaceutical dynasty who was greatly responsible for the opioid epidemic's unfathomable death toll.

So that photographer became addicted to opioids and became sort of an activist, you know, fighting against that drug company, right? Anyway, so they would show, you know, home video footage from back in the day when she was kind of in the art scene in New York and a Bush Tetra song was playing. quickly shazamed it, Q, because that's what you do. That's what you do. So anyway, yeah, so it says here, while their music was taught and aggressive, like a punk, Pat places guitar added an inspired dissonance that reflected her connections to the city's

no wave scene. So there you go. We know about no wave, Q. We talked about that before. Quite a bit. I know a thing too about no wave. So that particular track, the guitar styling reminded me a lot of early spoon stuff. Yes.

Totally. Like a series of sneaks. Series of sneaks era and even some of the stuff before that. But yeah, for sure. Like mine are tough and stuff like that. Anyway, Bush Tetra's. Check them out. All right, Q, you got a couple more tracks.

A couple more tracks. I'm going to pivot just a little bit, actually more than a little bit. I'm going to bring a Tycho song, but, however, this album was, at least as far as I'm aware, a super left turn for Tyco, which is why I love it so much, because he, like, really takes a backseat in this album, and he has quite a few female vocalists that show up on this record. I just love it, dude. The album is called Weather from 2019. shortly after this was released he released another record called simulcast

which is another like back to true form tyco where it's mostly instrumental but this one dude man at saint sinner actually is the i was totally wrong i thought i thought it was more than one singer this shows up but her name is saint sinner and man dude i just did you i feel like you probably sneezed on this one dude I listened to it. I remember enjoying it. Yeah, I remember enjoying a couple of the tracks. Yeah. But yeah, it was different. But, you know, I wasn't completely against it.

Well, I'm going to get you back on it, dude, with this song. Probably my favorite on the record. It's a short and sweet record. Cue it up tomorrow, man. You will not be sorry. Anyways, we're going to play track six. This song is called For How Long. It just sounded like somebody rap.

over a Tyco song. What? Singing over a Tyco song. But like you only like he's really good at like just reminding you, hey, I'm still here. Yeah. But I'm going to let Saint, I'm going to let St. Sinner shine here. Yeah, which is cool. I mean, look, I like the idea of Tycoe kind of collaborating with singers.

Like that's, that's a cool idea. Now, she's the only one that's, featured on this record, though, right? Correct. Okay. So you didn't like this song. Oh, yeah, it was all right. That's my, dude, yeah, I've, I listened to a lot of that kind of stuff with Sarah.

More like that dancey stuff. Yeah. So anyways. Sure, yeah. Maybe not even shiny. So that was a song from Weather. That one time that's, Tyco collaborated with an artist other than himself.

Well, it's funny because, like, you know, Tyco's, Scott Hanson, I should say, like his, when you look at his records, like his discography, like, you know, pass his prologue is just him, you know, in a studio. And then when he came out with Dive, he brought in other musicians, you know, like he, he has collaborated with other musicians, just not singers, you know, he's never, you know, he's never really yeah i'm wondering if this is the first and still only record of his that has i think he's you know i think he's maybe collaborated or i know he remixes a ton of stuff and he might even like lend himself out if it as it were like he may have shown up featuring tycho or something

like that with some other artists out there but i think this could be maybe like you said the his his first record that featured um a singer perhaps but yeah i'm just saying like it's It's full of great stuff like this, man. If this is your jam and you like Tyco and you haven't heard this record, cue it up because you'll love it. Yeah. If you're into this kind of stuff. It hasn't just been him with a synthesizer by himself in the studio.

Like he's had a real, like a live, live band, as it were, since Dive, you know? So, yeah. Anyway. All right. All right, brother. That's your last pick. I'm going to wrap up my side. selection of songs cue with a just a doozy of a tune by a little known group called Crosby's Tales

and Nash. Oh, dude, I've got a great song to follow this up. Then I have queued up, man. It's almost like we talked about. Shared a womb. But we didn't. Yeah, this is just what happens when you were once the same egg like being cute. We're the same person, brother. Basically. Did you ever think of that? I've thought about it. I've definitely thought about it. So this is from their 1977 record called CSN.

What's that for? I don't know. Your guess is mine. But, yeah, just, you know, when you look at the record, it's just three dudes on a sailboat, having a good time. And this song here, it's just classic, classic Crosby Sales and Nash, man. just put you into that, you know, warm blanket type of feeling, you know. So here you go. This is an appropriate song, I think, for kind of wrapping us up here, even though there's

one more track. But here we go. This song is called Just a Song before I go. Short and sweet. Beautiful. What more do you need? Always love hearing a Crasby sales. song, man. It just just transports you into different headspace, you know. So again, that song was

called Just a Song before I go. I was off their 1977 record CSN. You said you have a song to compliment that to close us out. What do you got? Do you, man. I'm bringing us back to 1968. Man, let me just applaud us, skew for. Yeah, this has been a great, great episode, lots of 70s, 80s. We're all over the place. hopping around. I like that we're, you know, we're bringing a lot of, a lot of classics here, you know. For sure. And this is all thanks to the vinyl subreddit, again, bringing a song thanks to someone who shared some records. I saw that post the other day.

I'm sure you did. And dude, I almost looked, I was like, I never heard of the second record. And I almost told him. And that's what you think of, right? So. Because I was like, I don't know. I've never seen that in my life. I bet you've never heard it.

Yeah, so the group is called Dillard and Clark. Yeah, so let's just real quick. Let's describe this post. Yeah, so I'm going to read the post. It says, grandfather heard I was collecting and sent these. He bought them when he was in his 20s. Simply beautiful and amazing music. The three records are Bob Dylan Highway 61 revisited, one of my favorite Bob Dylan records.

The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard and Clark and Harvest by Neil Young. So let me just stop you there, Q. What I like about the phrasing of this, the title of that post, to me it sounds like this person has never heard any of this music before. And maybe perhaps has never even heard about Bill and Young. Because, you know, the way they phrased it, simply beautiful and amazing music. Because I'm like, I've never heard this before. Amazing. You got to think about it.

So, okay, if his grandfather was in his 20s, that means his, okay, first up, his grandfather is. younger than our dad. Yeah. Therefore, this person who posted this is probably in their early 20s or maybe even younger than that. Maybe. Depends on, you know, how quickly his parents, his or her parents, you know, went to town or whatever, but I'm just saying like, you know, they could have had young, young parents

or whatever. But yeah, my guess is it's a young person because it sounds like they don't know who Bob Dylan is. or nearly gone. This is about to freaking open their goddamn world, dude. Their brain just, yeah, just opened up. Yeah.

Anyone to hear something great, dude? Let's listen to this freaking song. So, and you know what? Okay, there's always a great poster too. You've heard of Dilard and Clark my entire live queue. Me neither. Top, top comment. The fantastic expedition of Dillard and Clark is a brilliant record.

Gene had a hell of a voice. I love the mix of country, bluegrass, country rock, and Beatlesy pop. No better way to describe it, dude. And I'm going to bring 368. 68.

So that was right in the heyday of the Beatles, dude. Shit, were they done by 68? They just came and went so fast. I can never remember the exact time frame. It's my model. That was towards the tail end of the Beatles, I believe. Anyways.

The output from the Beatles. Yeah. Yeah, dude. So anyways, this is. track seven off the record. This song is called Get It On, Brother. A little gospel tune for you. Amazing, yeah.

Yeah, fantastic, man. That's like the Beach Boys put out a bluegrass record, you know. Yeah, yeah, I thought that too. There's a little bit of that nice, very nice harmonizing there for a little bit. Yeah. That's awesome. Dillard and Clark, never heard of him? Dillard and Clark, it's the first time I've ever heard.

Not every song is that, like, blue grassy twangy. Yeah, yeah. But when I heard that song, I'm just the man, I got to bring this one. Yeah, that's great. Perfect way to end the show, too, Q. In the episode, I should say. This is a good one, man.

There's lots of good tunes on this episode. I feel like we typically don't hop around that much between decades and genres. So, yeah, very good stuff. I think we hit 60s, 70s, and 80s quite a bit there, dude. And then just a couple. couple of 2000s-era tracks there. But yeah, that's good stuff, man. A lot of stuff from 81, dude.

I think there's three tracks from 81 that we featured here. Anyway. Okay, so Gene Clark used to be a member of the birds. The birds, that's right. I should have known that, yeah. That's cool. Yeah, I just thought of that too, yeah. Okay, very cool.

And, of course, you know, so was David Crosby, right? So what a... Yeah, like you said, we probably could... in playing that better. All right, well, that wraps us up for this month's episode of No Filler. Follow us on Instagram. I mean, I say follow. You're not going to see anything because you're not going to see anything, dude.

We will outro out our episode with one of your tunes. If you bring it to us and we like it, we'll play it. That's how it works. That is how it works. But since we don't have anybody sending us tracks, I'm just... I got no choice but to play my own track here. So I've got a cover of that pylon song that I brought earlier in the episode from R.M. The pylon song.

I hate that you're not an All-J fan trap. Yeah. Dude, I can tell just by that. I could tell just by that little snippet that that was All-J. I could tell, dude. You can't stand. That's not that I can't stand it. I just don't like it, you know.

Sure. You know what? I respect that. Yeah. So I'm going to play the first song off of REM's compilation record Dead Letter Office. It is a cover of Pilons Crazy. Yeah, that's going to do it for us this month. My name is Travis. And I'm Quentin. We will see you guys next month.
