You gift the good stuff. Welcome to No Filler. I'm Quentin. And I'm Travis. And we're kicking things off this month with a brand new single from letting up despite great faults. This song is called Halfway Crooks. I'll always love me some letting up despite great faults. Always.

They got a special place in my heart. Yeah, and that song had some like 80s, new wave kind of guitar stylings there that I liked a lot. Yeah, yeah. And so cute. You know how we always talk about the subtle differences between dream pop and shoegaze, under the same umbrella, but they're two very distinct things, right? Mm-hmm. When I hear that, it's unmistakably dream pop to me.

For sure. You know what I mean? and we've been talking about these guys and covering these guys since the music blog. Since the New Dust Days, man. Yeah. Since, so, yeah, the first album of theirs that I heard was their debut self-titled. Self-titled, yeah. Back in 2009, yeah.

I mean, it's awesome that they're still going, man. I mean, that's 10 plus years. They took a little bit of a hiatus, but yeah, man, they've, like, when they came back, they just came back super strong, dude. Like, it's like they picked up where they left off, but they've just perfected this, their brand of Dream Pop anymore, you know? Like they keep it nice and fuzzy where there's elements of that loveless style shoegaze. But it's just so like warm and enveloping, you know, like it's just a warm blanket.

Lots of fuzz. Lots of fuzz. Yeah, I love this band, dude. Always will. looks like they've got a little four-track EP coming out. It's due to release on April 4th, so just around the corner. Awesome. Which is, yeah, man, I didn't even know there was more.

So I was excited to hear this single, but yeah, dude, I can't wait. So last month, we introed the episode with a narrowhead track. And since that episode came out, their new record moment. of clarity released and it's amazing. Obviously, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I will be guaranteed. It's going to be on my best of 2023 at the end of the year, obviously. But yeah, since we played it as an intro, I was like, damn it, I can't bring another track, you know, again the next month. And that's going to happen

now with me with this. In April, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that'll be, that'll be two months from now. That'll be three episodes from now. So you could. Maybe we'll have forgotten by then. But anyway, yeah, I'm just, you know, plug in narrowhead because obviously they're one of my favorite groups. So check out that record. It's different than their older stuff. But it's also, you know, it's the same, the same flavor of what, you know, what they do best, right, that we always talk about with them.

But anyway, I was happy to see. that you weren't eating a chili cheese dog when I got on the call with you. I was afraid, like, I was going to get on the call and you're going to be like 10 pounds heavier and be like, dude, I've been eating cherry cheese dogs every day since we last recorded. No, that's a rare occurrence, dude. That's good. It's a treat. And, yeah, honestly, the thought of it now makes me sick.

But I was just, I was craving it last. That's what I said last month, dude. I said I couldn't stomach it. And there you were. I really was shucking down. Yeah You were It was needed

Dude, we needed a break From cooking that night Yeah Sometimes you got You gotta do it You gotta do it Especially when you have a new baby boy

Among other things Well, in 20 years He's gonna be like dad Yeah, I can tell You used to throw down With some chili cheese dogs I can tell by looking at you Do they still have

Do they used to have this Like chili cheese Frito burrito or something like that Oh Yeah, I think they do. Yeah, I think they do. Wow. Wow. Yeah.

Well, anyway, dude, I can still throw it down with some cherry lime aids anytime. Oh, no, it's too sweet now, dude. I don't do sweet drinks anymore. Oh, you know what? Let me take that back. You're right. The Sonic cherry lime aid is too sweet, but the Brahms cherry lime is where it's at. That's where it's at.

Too soon, man. I'm still not over the fact that Brahms is nowhere near me anymore. There's no Brahms up here. That's a bummer. It's a real bummer. Yeah, they do them right. They do. Anyways, are we going to, is this going to be the theme now every month we kick off the episode talking about fast food joints?

Well, I just wanted to check in on you and see if you were still, if the chili cheese dog was becoming like a habit for you. But if it's not, then I'm good. No, we're good. We're good. I'll tell you what. That's definitely something that we're going to be, you know, every episode, we're going to be hearing that cat in the background. guaranteed. Dude, well, last time it was Hitch and we found him a new home because we felt bad for him. Wait, you found him a new home? Yeah. As in like gave him away.

Is it and gave him away? Not to a stranger. As long as you don't give away mama cat, that's all I care. No, hell no, dude. She's staying here. And that's who's meowing right now. I don't know when she's looking at least. She can meow all she wants, dude. I take it back. Everyone falls in love with that cat, man. She is like, I mean, just pure love in cats. for him. Yes. Yes. All right. All right, Q, well, you're, you're going to kick us off this month with the first track in our, in our mixtape here. So what do you got? Because this is going to set the tone for the whole episode. All right, dude, I'm bringing us a song from Paul Simon. Okay. What decade, Paul Simon, are we getting today? All right, so this is 1990, Paul Simon.

Okay. So the album is called The Rhythm of the Saints. Here we go. Let's start. kick things off with some Paul Simon, dude. You're going to love this. So again, this song is called The Rhythm of the Saints. I've always appreciated his lyricism, you know? For sure, yeah. I mean, that's why the joke is like, if you were going to be compared to either Simon or Garfengel, you want to be Simon. You want to be Simon, yeah, yeah.

Well, yeah, I mean, as far as like who, obviously who had the better career, right? well and just in general man yeah his guy his songwriting is just so great to me he's like I love McCartney's songs in the Beatle catalog I mean I

I side with with McCartney fans dude like something about his like lyricism it's similar to Simons I think it's playful and it's more a beat and you know just lighthearted and fun. I had a lot of tropical kind of vibes.

I felt like I should have been drinking like a... Like a Mai Tai. Like a cocktail lot of a hollowed out pineapple or something. And you were showing me on the Wikipedia page that the list of personnel is just several screens length. It's probably at least 60 or 70 people, maybe more. Yeah, yeah. You got percussion, you got additional percussion,

additional percussion, you know, you just got all these additional percussion artists. It's like ten of me. Anyways, yeah, he drew from a lot of Southern African music, very similar to his album, Graceland, which came out in 86. That one got a little bit more radio play and a little bit more attention than this one. Yeah. But, yeah, apparently the three singles on this record, which is the obvious child, proof, and born at the right time. None of them charted and none of them received substantial radio play. So that's a bummer.

Rock was ready to move on, dude, by 1990. That's true. You know? That's true. Well into like the heyday of hip hop too, you know, which changed everything. So. Yeah. That's a good point, man.

Yep. So anyways, dude. Great song. Legendary singer songwriter. I thought that would be a good way to kick things off tonight. So again, that was Paul Simon and The Rhythm of the Saints, a pass it to you, brother, what you got for your first pick. All right.

I'm just going to kick us off with a, just your standard kind of indie track from the 2000s. What I'm trying to say is that this sounds like a lot of the music that we were fully into in the 2000s, right? So think like the shins, that kind of flavor of indie rock, right? And that's kind of who I thought of when I heard the song. So the band is called Ulricha Spacec. Oh, I know them, dude. Yeah, good stuff. I wonder if we've played them before under what you heard.

It's possible. But they are from London. Yeah, I was, remember when I was listening to only psych rock? Okay, so you would call them psych rock, huh? Well, it depends on what you're bringing today. Okay. Because, yeah. Well, then in this case, and this particular song.

Hang on. Suggestive listening is what you're bringing a song from? Yeah. Okay, yeah. Dude, this is the one that I got really into. It's funny. I recognize this cover. I wonder if you brought.

Lord Luck, I believe, is the one that I. Okay. Well, I'm bringing the first track. So that's interesting. Okay, cool. Proof that we listen to a lot of the same stuff, even if not even realizing it. Because this came up in my like Discover Weekly, I think, or something like that.

But anyway, to me, this song made me think. of like I said oh yeah yeah maybe they're getting rid of put out a new record uh anyway this this song made me think of a mix between the shins and deer hunter yeah yeah so just think think that uh like no ellenics right or is that his name not noa lennox uh Bradford Cox is that yeah Bradford Cox yeah Atlas sound that guy yep yeah that guy anyway all right so here we go so um not completely new to no filler but here's a new track that we have never played on this podcast before this song is called number one hum yeah good stuff man just a classic you know feel good indie rock track yeah i like that sustained note that they kind of had just in the

background and they did it with their voices too yeah where it just kind of was it drew out that note yeah in the background that was cool and i love that change that happened with the drums there that kind of came out of nowhere. They're kind of, yeah, good stuff. Yeah, yeah. So again, that was a band called Ulricha Spacec. That was an EP called Suggestive Listening, came on 2018. The track was number one hum.

That was the first track on the record. I say we outro out with that new song of theirs. That's a good idea, Q. So, yeah, they put out a single in January called the Shear Drop, which, you know, means they could. be putting out a whole record soon. So we'll keep an eye on that. Yeah.

All right, Q. Well, you know, rapid fire, right? It's the name of this game. So let me throw it back to you. What's you got for your second track. I did just try to open up my library and Spotify by clicking on your screen. Well, you're sharing it. It's late. It's an honest mistake.

These are late recordings that we're doing these days because I got to wait for for Ronan to be, you know, catching Z's before we can start recording. You're a dad. We get it. Okay. Yeah, dude. I just, yeah. All right, dude. So I'm going to play a song from a group called South Pacific. Have you ever heard of them? It's not ringing any bills, Q. Canadian post-rock space rock band. Those are words I like.

With prominent shoegaze leanings, South Pacific's guitar-oriented music was generally psychedelic in nature and filled with reverb, yet at times contained sheets of noise and heavy drumming. Sheets of noise. That's almost like saying wall of sound. You're right, dude. That's hilarious, man. You know what? The person who wrote that is probably like, I don't want to write wall of sound.

I just, I don't want to put wall of sound. I'm so tired of writing that. I got it. Sheets of noise. Sheets of noise. That's funny. I like that. All right, one album of theirs, one full length, came out in 2000.

So this is old, old stuff. Ancient. And ancient. This is, again, a group called South Pacific. And the song is called E-10 at 182. You know, I was waiting for something to happen. And then I was glad that nothing happened. Yeah, dude, that's a, that's like a slow burn, you know, like a really hypnotic, just trancey.

Francie. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, you know, locked into that like groove like pretty quickly. And then you just kind of, you just kind of live with it for a little bit. And I love songs to do that, man. That just, you know, repetition. We've talked about this before with like our love of good down tempo music.

And yeah, that kind of, you know, for the same reasons. I love that track. It was great. Yeah. I like it and put into it like a nice trance. times with some music. Totally. Yeah, give this album a listen, dude.

That baseline was cool. I like that baseline club. Yeah, yeah. So the Houston Press puts it greatly. And they review of this, back in 2001, they reviewed it. And they said, nothing could be more glorious than a full submersion into South Pacific's surround sound maelstrom of samples, guitar haze, and electronica beats.

that's what it is, dude. I like that full submersion. Yeah, totally. Great stuff. And the playlist, again, it's called shoegays Instrumentals. I'm sure there's dozens of playlists that are called exactly that on Spotify, but the username is I-d-d-d-R-E-A-M-T-U-S-I-C, if you want to give that a go. So check it out. Anyways, pass it back to you, brother.

Okay, well, I am now doing a little bit of rearranging here, Q, because I've got a good track to follow that, that I wasn't planning on playing today. This is a group that I've seen them before. I've heard the name. I don't think I've ever really given them a shot. I think the band has kind of a following. They're called Tortoise.

So they're like a post rock. Sometimes they get the math rock label thrown on to them. Anyway, so I'm bringing a track off their 2001 record standards. It's got the post rock label on it, experimental rock and jazz fusion. How you like them genres? Love them. So here we're going to play this. The first track off the record.

This band, again, is called Tortoise. This song is called Cinnica. there was an example of a song where you're waiting for something to happen and like you're glad that something happened because it turned into this awesome book. Yeah, that was an awesome way to like kind of break through all that chaotic noise at the beginning. Yeah, and that's the opening track. So they're setting a stage, right, with that long kind of drawn out cacophony of stuff going on there. But yeah, like you heard some of that math rock coming out there at the end, I think,

with that guitar riff in there. The drums, great, right? Here it is. This is a perfect way to describe it. This is from the New Zealand Herald. They called standards a neatly intriguing mishmash, which I think is funny, neat and mishmash, right? The opposite there.

Of instrumental rock shot through with lopsided grooves, dreamy drones, not quite jazz, percussion, and vibes. and knob twiddling electronica rubbing up against a junk store of old instruments, all of which somehow emerges as an accessible, tuneful, structured affair. Oh, my God. Nothing better than a little knob twiddling, dude. Yeah. I love it when my knobs are twiddled.

A neat mishmash. I feel like that's the perfect way to describe that song, right? And probably the rest of the record, right? That was just the opening track. But yeah, what an awesome, what an awesome song? Like, you know, gave me a reason to be like, you know what? Let me check these guys out a little bit further. Because if they're making tasty tunage like that, sign me up.

You know what I mean? Yeah, dude. The one album there's, I'm familiar with. The Catastrophist is more of those tasty, tasty jams for sure. So what do you got, Q? What do you got for the next track? All right, dude. I wasn't going to play this one.

But I was scrolling through my like. songs and it popped out at me. I haven't listened to it in a while. And it's one of my favorites from the one and only Tenacious D. And I think it's about fucking time that they get played on this podcast. Okay, fair enough.

All right, dude. And I know you're not a fan of comedy rock, but you're going to love this song, dude. I love Tenacious D though. That's an exception to that rule. Maybe it's just because I love Black Jack. Blackjack Jack Black so much.

Dude, if Tenacious D doesn't get recognized for the true rock legends that they are, if they do not get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at some point, it's a fucking champ. And like, not that it matters, right? Who cares about the Rock Hall? Shout out to that podcast. They're no longer making show any episodes right now. They're on a high-inist.

Something like that, yeah. Yep. Anyways, who cares about the Rock Hall? But these boys They need to be recognized Yes Kyle gas alone dude I know

KG This one's short and sweet Two minutes long We're gonna play the whole song All right All right So This song is called

Don't Blow It Cage Here we come Cage You ready Hold up here we come What dude Don't blow it cage Don't blow it cage Just play the best shit

You've ever fucking played Don't blow it, Cage, don't blow it cage, Just plain the best shit you've ever fucking played. All right! Jack White invited us to party, He wanted us to kick out the champs. Red Light is time for us to party. I'm hoping we can kick out the jams.

Don't blow it, cage, don't blow it cage, just play the best shit you've ever fucking played. Don't blow it cage, don't blow it cage, just playing the best shit you've ever fucking played. Solo. Oh, you did not fucking party, you did not fucking kick out the jams. Jack White is drinking a picardy. You did not fucking kick out the chams.

You blew it cage, you blew it cage, you paid the worst shit you ever fucking plain. You blew it cage, you blew it cage, you paid the worst shit you ever fucking play. Come on. Cage, cage. Yes, Jack White? That was the best guitarist all I've ever heard in my life. Oh, thank you. Do you want to start a band with me right now?

Yes. Now, don't leave me cage, don't leave me cage, you've paid the best shit you've ever fucking played.

You've ever fucking played. You've played the fresh shit. You ever fucking play.

I mean, they're just a delight, man. And I love how Jack White shows up. Yeah. Well, they were at a party and Jack White was there, so don't blow a cage. This is our chance. Oh, that's the lead up to that song? Because I think I missed that part. Or did he say that in the beginning? Oh, no, and the lyrics. They're talking about they're at a party. Okay, okay. I miss that. Yeah, yeah. And Jack White's there. Jack Wright's there. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. Jack White invited them to party.

Dude, I thought that it was a great little guitar. So, you know, that wasn't the worst shit he's ever played. Yeah, dude. I mean, he's a classically trained guitar player. Right, yeah. And that's the funny thing, right? Because he's an amazing guitar player. If you've ever seen Pick a Destiny, like, you know that. Yeah, exactly.

I love the lyrics, man. What a fucking, what a hilarious song. Yeah, man. Hopefully they need no introduction for the folks that listen to this podcast. No, no. Yeah. No. Because, yeah. True legends, man.

Let's put it this way. If you've never heard of Tenacious D and that was the first song of theirs you ever heard, that's great. That's great. And you know nothing and you need to dive deep because that is just scratching the surface, man. Yeah, totally. Their greatness. All right, dude.

Pass it back to you. Which guy? You're going to bring a comedy song? Nope. I'm going to give us a nice 180, my friend. All right. So let me jump into this track here. This is going to be a nice change of pace from tenacious D. But man, this is a beautiful track. I think I actually heard this perhaps on. Yeah. So I was shuffling Ghostly International. I think I've talked about this playlist before. But Ghostly International is like an electronic record label. And they have some like public playlists. where, you know, people who work there for the label can just throw songs onto this onto this playlist. And it's not specific ghostly international artists only, right? It's like,

it's whatever, right? So whatever people who work there are into, they throw it on this playlist. I stumbled upon this on this playlist. This is the ghostly at work is what it's called. And this is their 22 favorites playlist. So this track, obviously, came out. last year. It's a performer who goes by the named Mirna. I'm just going to let the song speak for itself. This song is called

Another Dimension. Fantastic. Beautiful, right? Beautiful song. Yeah. So it's actually a group. So I kind of made a seem as though. It's just that one performer, right? But, um, no, it's actually a group. So Carly Bond is the name of the vocalist. Rob Shelton on keys, Doug Stewart on bass, and Andrew McGuire on drums and percussion.

So I'm going to give credit to the full group. Yeah, the overall vibe and like the sound of that song reminded me a lot of that album, Weather Alive from Beth Orton. I brought one of her songs for our best of 2022. Haunted Satellite in that same vein as far as like the mood and like the headspace that it puts you in. Yeah, definitely. Again, that group was called Mirna.

That was a single called Another Dimension, Command, 2022, along with a couple other singles. So I don't know if they're gearing up for a full release, but either way, that song was called Another Dimension. And I'm going to throw it back to you, Q. What do you get at for us? All right. I'm just going to dive right into this one, dude.

So I don't remember where I found this artist. She goes by Peach Girlfriend Or I'm sorry Peach GF You know girlfriend Peach girlfriend all in word In her about section on Spotify It says

I'm Haley Here to help All right What's she gonna help us with It's just put you in a good In a good mood Like a good vibe You know

Just like It's a good Cued up It's a good time Dude You know what Let's just let the music play You know

Let's get helped You tell me what you think, dude. All right, God damn, dude, it's been a while since I've had my coffee. It's late. You need a chili cheese dog. Oh, God.

All right. So Peach Girlfriend is the name. The album is called O-4. We're going to play track 8 off the record. This one's called Cherry Blossom. That's my kind of jam right there, Q. I thought you'd like that, dude. Right at my alley.

That's the kind of game soundtrack stuff that you live. like a lot. Yep. And I don't know, I don't know what word to use to describe it other than like, you know, it's IDM, right? That's maybe the umbrella of IDM. I think of the DIY label or, you know, the, like the, like the, they're like Tyco. Right. Like the bedroom. Yeah, bedroom. There's bedroom. Where, you know, where it's just, we know this is one person. She says so. Her name's Haley. Yeah, Lofi. And she's just, you know, she's got her, her laptop and her keyboard and this is what she's making. I love that kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Yeah, it's good, man. That's the perfect kind of

music for just kind of chilling, you know? Or a night drive for, yeah, a leisurely night drive. If you don't want to be bothered with Kivinsky and all that other kind of, you know, appreciate night drive stuff. Yeah. If you want a more chill night drive, put on some of this kind of stuff. Put on some beach. You go for, you know, sometimes you don't need EDM. You need IDM. That's right. You need be intelligent about the electronic dance music. Yeah. All right. So again, that was Cherry Blossom by Peach Gelfrin.

And I'm going to pass it back to you, Travis. I mean, I've got the perfect, perfect follow up to that cue. So, this is an artist, another solo artist, one person making electronic music. Her name is Hermione Frank. But she goes by R. RoxyMole. or Roxymore. Either way, there's two R's in that word, stylized with a lowercase R and then an uppercase R

if you want it now. But this is just, I'm just going to let it play because I think it's a really good follow up to that song. You just queued up first there. So let's do it. Here we go. This song is off her 2022 EP called I Wanted More. and this song is called Drunken Clouds.

Yeah, so she describes herself as abstract, slyly playful dance music, which I think is a good way to say it. Very, yeah, dude, sly and playful. I like that. Yeah, that's great, dude. I love that kind of stuff. How can you not like that kind of stuff?

How can you not? Creating her music live using a laptop as well as analog equipment. Her tracks are highly explored, often incorporating complex polyrhythms and are more suited for late night listening than the peak time club play what are we just talking about we're just trying to describe that the edm versus idm yeah that's that to me it is almost a great way to describe the differences between the two peak time club play is edm late night listening is idm that's it dude and i've always preferred idm uh to edm but um anyway so there you go uh

Again, that was Roxymour. That song was called Drunken Clouds. All right, Q, this is your last track. What do you got for us? I've got a doozy, my friend. So, funny enough, I'm pretty sure I mentioned the undoing of David Wright on our last episode. You did. They, or that like synth wave punk group from Denton, Texas.

This group, they're called Perta Negra. It's right in that same vein, dude. And it's hard to come by that sound. And anytime I hear it, dude, I'm just, I'm always, I'm all about it. I just love that. Like, it's just that, like, brash, you know, like, just in your face kind of punk. Yeah.

With like a 80s synth vibe to it. I know what you mean. Yeah. It's, dude, you're going to love this, man. hits right you know it's so good dude all right so this is a group from Portland Oregon Pertha Negra

is the band the album is called costo humano and this song is called El Gran Finale reminded me of like some of the 80s hair metal stuff like Motley crew or something like that the the style of his voice

at least yeah which was an interesting like an interesting clash with like the synth sound you know like the two the two things were we're kind of interesting paired together right yeah and that's what i loved about the undoing of david right yeah like just that in your face just like screaming really but like with really catchy like melodies right like 80s melodies undoing a david right was something special man they were i've yet to find somebody like a group

that did it the way that they did, you know. Yeah. I'm sure they're out there. You can't find their, you can't find their, there's their album anywhere. Like, I was lucky, I think I told you, I found a used copy of the actual CD. I bought it on Amazon. That's amazing that you found it. I have, we dig with fingers crossed.

The only song you can find of theirs is we dig with fingers crossed. Because the music video. Right. Yeah. On YouTube. Look, look them up, my friends. Look up. The undoing of David, right.

Dude, I know. The guitar playing was great. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, we're not talking about them. We're talking about Pueta, not Negra. And this is a group that, yeah, in the same vein, you know, hits that itch when I'm looking for it. So, yeah, again, that song was called El Gran Finale. It just happens to be the grand finale of that record, it's the last track.

And El Pasad, do you, Tray, what did you got to wrap it up for us? All right. Well, true. to No Filler. I'm going to close us out with just a solid Dream Pop Shugays track. Hey, look at that. By a group called No Swooned.

And here's an interesting way to describe them here, Q. They sound like a band performing at a DIY venue in the Twilight Zone. Which, I don't know if that's... I just like that sentence. I don't know if it necessarily obliged or not. but yeah this song is just one of those like those soaring shoegaze songs you know what I mean where that wall of sound is going to hit you and but yeah vocally beautiful song so here I'm just going to let it play here again this band is called no swoon this song is called faces

fantastic man it's hard to to slap a label on them I mean definitely definitely dream pop definitely shoot gaze elements right but i mean yeah there's there's more going on there obviously it's got some 80s vibes to it that i really like interesting that you would say that because um taut it's actually a duo it's not it's not a full group tasha abbott is the singer and then zack nestel pat is the other part of that duo but abbott as they describe her here grew up in Los Angeles, equal parts, musical theater kid, and daughter of an 80s goth. So she grew up performing musicals and listening to Bowhouse and The Cure. So yeah, she grew up listening to your classic 80s stuff, right?

The Cure. There you go. Yeah. Anyway, so yeah, that was off of their self-titled record that came out in 2019. So again, that band was called No Swoon. And yeah, they put out another record last year called Take Your Time. So good stuff. Jinks.

And a good way to close us out, I think. For sure, yeah. Here we are, Key. We've done it again. Episode number two of the year. Another episode in the wrapped up for the year. Isn't that wild dude that we were doing one episode a week? That's crazy to think about now.

And we kept that up for like five years, yeah. Yeah, dude. That's pretty nuts. That is pretty crazy. You're right. Now that we've taken a step back, dude, it's, wow. Yeah. Yeah, we did that for a long time.

So, yeah, there's hundreds of episodes literally to listen to in our back catalog. Well, 200 some odd episodes, to be exact. But, yeah, that number is about to come. Cut down draft. It's going to take us a long time to get to episode 300 Q. Sorry, we might pick it back up, you know. We might get back to weekly episodes here at some point. Your kid's going to get older and you're going to be like, you know what?

I just want a podcast once a week again. Or if anything, I'm going to want to hang out with my son even more. Maybe. That's possible too. But we can at least stick to once a month. That's a guarantee. Either way, we're not going. anywhere. No filler stage stay.

Hopefully you like hearing us at least once a month. Yeah, dude. I have, shit. If not, we appreciate you listening. Yeah. You know what, even if it's just one listener cue, Mitchell. I'm fine with that. That's all I care about.

We need to take it, get it down to like a small enough group that we can all hang out at a bar somewhere. That sounds good. Yeah. Even though I don't drink anymore. But you know what? You don't have to drink at a bar, guys. You know what? There's a small enough group that we can all hang out in my back porch.

That's a small group. It's going to happen. That's all we care about, though. All right. Well, we're going to close us out with, like you were saying, you had the brand new single from Olarkas, Spac. I'm excited to hear it. Spacic.

Who knows how you pronounce it? Spacic. Yeah. Who cares? Who really cares how you pronounce words anyway, right? That's right. All right. Unless you're like,

butchering the hell out of somebody's name. And then maybe, you know, maybe you could care. Like cocktail twins. Cocktail twins. Cocktail, tomato, tomato.

Am I right? You know what? I'm over it. All right. So the song is called the sheer drop. And that's going to, wrap us up for this episode. As always, you can find us on the Pantheon podcast network.
