This song is called No More Lies. The tastiest of jams, Q. A match made in heaven, man. I should have turned my lava lamp on cue before that one started playing. Do you really have one, man? Yeah, man. Got one on my shelf right here. Jelly.

Of course I do. Dude, I tell you what, though, this is a tangent, but I've always wanted, there's a lava lamp company. Apparently it's the original lava lamp company. It's called Mathmos, or Mothmos or something like that, Mathis. But anyway, it's a UK lava lamp company, and they claim to be the original maker of lava lamps. And they have this really badass one that looks like a rocket ship. Isn't that like one of the originals? I've seen the rocket ship.

I'm saying, yeah, it's one of the, it's, yeah, this company is like, they claim to be the original maker of lava lamps. But anyway, they don't ship to the U.S., so you can't just order them online. You just have to fly over there, man. I guess, I guess, I guess, pack it up on the plane. Anyway, I've always wanted one. But yeah, that point I'm trying to get at Q is that the song just hit all those, all those right notes. It was like 70s, like, disco. Yeah, a little bit of disco, funk, you know, and that's what Thundercat's all about.

And what's cool here, I'm reading. I'm reading on this pitchfork article about the collaboration. We got Stephen Bruner, Thundercat. We got Kevin Parker, who's Tame and Paula, in case you all didn't know that. Moving on. Everybody knows who Kevin Parker is cute. So Stephen says, I've wanted to work with Kevin since the very first Tame and Paula album. I feel that I knew that us working together would be special.

I've been excited about this song for a long time and hope to create more with Kevin in the future. What's cool about that is this is like the perfect time. in Kevin Parker's progression in sound with Tame and Pala to collaborate with Thundercat. Like if they collaborated back when Inner Speaker came out, which is funny, we were talking about this kind of on last month's episode about his Taming Pala's progression. Yeah. It would have been probably badass because Thundercat's an amazing musician, but it wouldn't have been this.

Yeah. Yeah. No, you're right. And I was actually thinking about that. Like this is, yeah, this is a perfect vibe for him to. to chill in for a little bit. Like that I would love to hear like a disco. I mean, that's the thing.

Tame Apollo's music has has some disco elements in it. That's what I'm saying. But like, yeah, like, yeah, that's, hmm. They should make an album together and like a whole album. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Well, yeah, maybe there's more to come.

Yeah, that'd be great. Dude, Thundercat's awesome. Like, I honestly haven't given him enough of a listen like his, his albums. But anything he touches his goal, dude. For a while, anytime I pull up YouTube, you know, the suggested videos would be one of the Tiny Desk concert performances. And I was just compelled to watch this tiny desk concert of Mac Miller. And I want to say it was the same year that he passed away, maybe even a few months before

or something. But Thundercat was playing bass. And, I mean, he busted out a bunch of different instruments throughout the performance. But man, it was so awesome, dude. I mean, and apparently he collaborated a lot with Mac Miller. And yeah, he's just everywhere, man. And he's just a phenomenal musician. So super cool to see him collaborate with Kevin Parker.

Really, really cool track. I mean, what a perfect combo like Thunder Cat, Tame Impala. Like even their names go well together. Oh, yeah, look at the music video. That's funny. Yeah. Let me see if I can, if it happens, if it pulls up on here. You know how on the, on the album art.

On the Spotify, yeah, on the Spotify, mobile app. Yeah, yeah. On the mobile app, it's just like, it looks like they're running super fast, but it's just the screenshot of them and like the backgrounds moving. It just looks really funny. Yeah, so I guess, I guess they leaned right into it. On the album art for this, it's Impala chasing a cheetah. A cheetah, yeah, that's pretty cool.

Slash Thundercat. Very cool. All right. So that's how we're kicking off the month of June. How's it June already, dude? We're already halfway through 2023. That's nutty, dude. I know it's weird.

We've already lived in this house for six months. The fuck. Crazy, dude. Keeps on tick-tick into the future. Well, I think you're up first, queue, even though you kind of teed us up with that one to get us started, you are first in line for this month's batch of tunes, our monthly mixtape. I got nothing, dude.

I haven't really been listened to anything new, but I'll see. I'll make it work, man. We'll see. We'll see what you can do. Maybe one of the songs I play will spark something in you to pull something up. We'll see what happens. We'll make it happen, dude. You could have saved the Tame and Pop.

one and I could have introduced something with a song but you know what though it's a new track though and we always you know our intros are always brand new songs and yeah I wanted to I wanted to kick things off with with that collab I'm glad you did all right man so this just happened to come up because so I'm not subscribed to the Blinquin 82 subreddit but I was browsing you know the front page sure I've read it yeah so they're back on tour like they're they've like the three of them yep the trio They're back. They're back. Making the rounds of all the festivals.

Tom decided to jump back into it. He's like, man, I'm almost out of money. I need to, we need to tour again, fellas. You know what, dude? I'm done chasing UFOs. Let's get back to biz. And someone in, so it was a live footage from one of their shows. It was okay.

I think it was, I don't remember what the song was either. Doesn't matter. Someone posted in the comments. people were just like, you know, reminiscing on the golden age of Lincoln Day 2. Yeah, they put out a live album. Just now? No, no, no. I mean, I remember they had a live album.

It was called like the Mark Tom and Travis Show or something like that. Well, that's the album I'm bringing a song from tonight, bro. Oh, okay. It's not one of the live songs. The very last track on the record. I wonder how long it's been since you've heard this song, dude. Man Overboard? You're going to remember it immediately.

Oh, man. It's going to come back to me, yeah, immediately. Oh, of course, man. So this was a, well, is this like an unreleased single that they put at the end of the live album or? Yeah, I'm not sure how, what it was. Because you're saying this isn't a live check, but it's on the live record. Okay. So let's consider it a B-side.

Or just a single that they released for this album. Okay, yeah, cool. Yeah, and it's so good. We've got the internet. We can figure it out, but we don't. I know, man. I know. That's not how we do things around here, dude.

That's not how we do things around here. All right, dude. And dude, just classic, like, pop punk. And it's funny, going back and listening to this now, it is so poppy. That's, dude, it is so, it is the opposite of punk, if you think about it. But we were the perfect age. We thought this was punk because we had no, we had no exposure yet to what true punk is. And I've got a perfect segue, dude.

So I'm glad your team is up. Awesome. All right, man. So here we go. This is from the Mark Tom and Travis show. Blinkin 82's Man Overboard. That particular era of Blinkwainty will always be instant time machine for me, dude. Wave of nostalgia.

Yeah. Just everything about their song structures, the three of them together, the drummer, obviously, the way that Travis drums. So I looked it up, Q, because I wanted to know, wanted to inform our listeners. So this is, yeah, it was a lead single from the live album. And it was actually written during the intimate of the state, sessions. So that's why it sounds just like, I mean, yeah, it makes sense. Totally, you know, it's obvious it came from that, you know, from the time that they were written, all the songs that we, you know, that we were turned on to Belink 22 by, right, which was, you know, all the small things.

And yeah, what's my age again? That was our intro into, I mean, that was 99, I believe. But yeah, early 2000s pop punk, like, fat lip. Wait, some, 14, It's up 41. It's a 41 and Newfound glory. Yeah, Newfound glory. Like this was our intro into punk, you know, and a lot of people would listen to this be like, this is not punk, dude. Right.

But I mean, it is, it's a flavor of punk, right? I mean. It is. It's a genre of punk. It's punk adjacent. Yeah. You know, I'd say Green Day started it, right? Green Day.

They were right before. Yeah. And this, you know, they call it pop punk. You know, this was the stuff that was like digestible for the masses. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. for the prepubescent boys.

Yeah, for the, you know, the... And girls, dude. I guess the, yeah, the 12-year-olds who wanted to be a little bit edgy. Dude, you remember I was crushing so hard on Avrilaville. Who was? Man. Who wasn't, dude. Anyways.

Yeah, man, I totally forgot about that song. I think I probably learned it on my guitar. That was the beauty of... Pop Punk did just a bunch of power chords, right? Although Blink did a lot of interesting things, man. They did a lot of cool, like, you know, single note picking stuff. Like, what's my age again? It's actually kind of difficult to play.

Well, you know, it's not something you just pick up and learn really quickly, like some power chords, right? But anyway. Right, right. But yeah, man. All right. So, yeah, dude. Man Overboard, Blink Winni-A-2.

That album came out in 2000. Yeah, so right, right at the end of the stage. era right after that album came out. Yep. In the State, 1999, June 1st. Which is why I have a perfect segue cue. So, you know, we get a lot of music recommendations from Reddit, right? We talk about Reddit all the time. I don't remember how the hardcore subreddit popped up on my radar. It might have just been like suggested, you know, because I'm always on a bunch of music-centric subredits, right? So anyway, somebody posted just some song from this band called Botch, B-O-T-C-H.

And I was like, you know what, let me just, let me give it a spin. Because I'm just always interested to hear, you know, these, because it came out in the 90s, this band. So I was like, okay, let me hear with this hardcore punk band from the late 90s sounded like. And, you know, since we were just talking about Blinkwintery 2 and pop punk, this is the, I guess, less digestible side of the punk coin, right? This was a band

that you probably wouldn't have seen on MTV. So this is a, again, this band is called botch. And, let me just,

they're from Seattle, Q. Nice, and here is a good sentence. This is from their Spotify bio. A virulent strain of progressive

underground and sometimes violent heavy metal infused guitar histrionics steeped deeply in hardcore punk scene aesthetics and the much touted DIY ethic this sentence just keeps going

with many that community's lowest common denominator tough guy minded inflections I can't the sentence doesn't make sense but anyway I think you could get over yourself man who wrote that that's too many words anyway well speaking of viral entrain dude have you started watching the next season of Sweet Tooth?

I haven't even seen the first season, so. It's good, man. You should give it a go. I think you and you and Kara would like it. Okay, fair enough. Let me take that long sentence and just say heavy metal infused hardcore punk. How about that?

There we go. Perfect. So, that's all we need to know. That's all we need to know. All right, so this record came out in 1999. It's called We Are the Romans. And I'm going to play a song called Transitions from Persona to Object. You like that?

It was metal adjacent, dude. So I'm starting to get... Here's the thing, man. Encouraged. I've made this joke so many times. Anytime you play some metal that I'm not familiar with. I say it sounds like melodic grindcore, which is a line from extract. Extract, yeah.

My judge film. But the character in that movie was talking about... He was trying to hype up his band because they were having a show. They were called God's Cock. God's God's God. Yeah. And he was trying to describe it. It's more like melodic grindcore. Anyways, later on in the movie, Jason Bateman's character drives by the house party and he can hear them playing in the backyard something. And it sounded just like that, dude. Well, there you go, cue. So that's melodic grindcore, man. I always, you know, was curious to know more, hear more from it. That's it, dude. Well, I mean, on their, on their Wikipedia cue, they used the term math core.

Oh my God. And metal core. So that's, that maybe leans more towards like the, like the interesting time signatures that kind of change on a dime. Yeah, that's the math part, which is, which is great, you know, because we, we like math rock quite a bit. You know, any chance we get to play math core on this podcast, we do it. So here's like a more aggressive metal version of that, you know, which is really cool. Yeah, I liked it a lot. But yeah, they're also considered like a hardcore punk band, right?

So in the world of punk, you know, you just heard Blink, when you into with botch right afterwards. And you can see this is why we have terms like metal core, you know what I mean? And pop punk because there's so many offshoots, dude, you know, the tree of evolution, the musical tree, right? Totally. And I've got another, I want to say this is a pretty good segue again, dude. It's right now we're going back into the shoe gaze side of things. You know, I'm happy that shoegaze is back here.

I think we took a couple weeks with no shoegaze or a couple months with no shoe gaze. So now I'm glad that we're, we've returned to our beloved shoe gaze. Well, I'm bringing back a track from that instrumental shoegaze playlist. Okay. that I play at a song from earlier this year. And dude, have you given this playlist to spin? You've got to do it.

I know I sent you a link to it. It's full of beauties. And this is another one. So this is a group called Guilty Ghosts. Don't know anything else about this band other than this song. I haven't given them any more of a listen past this song. Guilty Ghosts. And this song features a,

vocals from someone who goes by C. Alina. This is just a, just a, like, envelop you in it. You know, put some headphones on and just. I like being, I like being enveloped, cue. Or enveloped. Invelloped, yeah. Yeah, there we go. All right, so this is, again, guilty ghosts from an album called Vales from 2011.

It's featuring C. Alina. This song is called Everlasting Evening Evening. Que, I feel like I've been lied to. This was on an instrumental shoegays playlist. And I heard a voice. Well, here's the funny thing, dude. Like, I was, you know, this is one of those songs that, you know, like you don't realize how long it's been playing. If that makes sense.

Yeah, well, it was very hypnotic. Yeah. And I queued this song up because, you know, I really liked her voice. And I really liked the way it fits into the music. Oh, I loved, yeah, I loved it when that voice was introduced because it was such a nice long buildup to it, you know. It's almost, yeah, almost, it's like over four minutes into the song. It's a seven-minute song, but yeah, you don't hear those vocals until more than halfway through the track. And that's why I think it deserves to be on this playlist.

Sure. You know, it's instrumental in spirit. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just joshing. I just, yeah, that could have just kept going forever and I would have been down to listen to it, you know, because. And yeah, that's kind of what they're all about. Yeah, I love that kind of stuff, man. I really do.

Yeah. Says Minta conjure a kind of hypnosis. Guitars are treated with delay, reverb, distortion, and modulation and looped like mantras separately and simultaneously, collecting more notes with each passing measure. a suitable companion to countless situations and environments that is particularly fit for rainy days, everlasting evenings, and melancholy moments in solitude or in communion. I like that, dude. You could cue this up at a party or, you know, just lounging in a comfy in a comfy chair, just you and the tunes.

Totally. Well, yeah, that's a good, that's a good times, man. I like that. You got any good companions, works? I'm passing to you, brother. I don't know if I have a good companion, but I think this song should be a nice transition or segue. So cute.

I was scrolling through my Spotify, Discover Weekly, as one does. And this guy's name jumped out of me. And I almost want to tease this and just see, and just see what you think. and see if I'm not going to say anything else, Q. So I'm not going to name the artist because it'll be a giveaway. But I will name the song, and we're just going to listen to it. I'm being very vague here for a reason.

But anyway, so actually, yeah, Q, why don't you avert your eyes to look at the screen? I will not pay attention. And you know, this is a game that you can play along at home if you'd like. But yeah, I'm just going to play the song. I'm supposed to try to pick who to guess who this is. Yeah, yeah. Let's do it that way. All right, Q, so this song is called Lucky Black Cat.

Was that Tom York, dude? It sounded just like Tom York. This person's name is Noah York. Does he have a son? Did you know that Tom York had a son? No. No. That's him, dude.

Wow. He's a son named Noah who makes music. I loved that. Yeah. Everything about that, dude. Anyway, so. Holy Minolese. Tom's amazing, majestic, one in a million voice can be passed on via his jeans.

Holy shit, dude. What was the name of that album? That's a single, yeah. So he has three singles so far, at least that I've heard, at least on Spotify. That song was called Lucky Black Cat came out last year. He put out a song, another song last year called It's Been a Long Time. And then he put out his first singles called Trying Too Hard, parentheses, lullaby.

If you listen to It's Been a Long Time, not only does it, you know, does he obviously sound like his dad, but it's been a long time sounds like radiohead in general. So like Lucky Black Cat had more sort of like this nice acoustic vibe to it. You know what I mean? So he says on the release notes for that song that I played, says he was inspired in equal parts by Nick Drake, which you can clearly hear that, right? And Bruce Springsteen. He says it's all about the twists and turns of fate and feeling

and the fortune I personally feel for getting to be around the people I have been around this year and the things I've had the chance to do. What a lovely fella, he sounds like. Well, man, yeah. So for a second, I was super stoked because I was thinking, like, it's sweet. Tom York is, like, kind of venturing into something else and collaborating with, like, a totally different style of music and musicians. Okay, we don't need Tom anymore.

I was going to say, like, we'll always need Tommy. Of course, yeah. But, yeah, the longer the song went on, I'm like, okay, this definitely isn't Tom. Yeah. Because there's moments of it where it's like, he would never do this. Yeah. But that's what's great about it. That's so cool.

He's passed on that talent. How can you not be talented if your dad is Tom York? You know what I mean? Right. I mean, come on. Anyway, Q, so there you go. Learn something new today. Noah York putting out great music just like his daddy.

All right, Q, I'm going to throw it back to you. Where do we go from here? We need to rapid fire here, Q. We're just taking our sweet time. We say this every month, man. Yeah, the first three songs, on our episodes always get nice, you know, a nice long, some breathing room, and then we speed through the rest of them.

So anyway. Well, I'm going to try my best here because I couldn't have planned this better, dude. And I had this on the playlist for tonight. So I didn't just pull this. What other music royalty has children that we're about to hear? Well, it's not about that. It's about Tom York, my friend. Oh.

I swear we don't, we don't discuss prior to episodes. we just We don't. This just happens. Yeah. So this is a guy named Mark Pritchard who apparently

heard that name before. Yeah, well he's been super consistent in like the underground dance music scene for decades. I like dance music.

Yeah. And he collaborates with a bunch of people. He releases a lot of like you'll find him in like the extended releases of albums where they

tack on some remixes at the end, you know. You'll find a Mark Pritchard remix, for instance, on Suvlaki from Slowdive. He does a remix for In Mind, one of the songs off of that record. Anyways, he released a proper

solo album back in 2016 called Under the Sun. Collaborates with a bunch of people. Tom York is one of them, dude. And it is just a perfect freaking mix, perfect collab, dude.

So here we go. And this is again, Mark Pritchard. The album is Under the Sun, featuring Tom York. This song is called Beautiful People. Yeah, I really liked the whatever that was, the flute or, you know, kind of was supposed to sound like a flute, I guess. But that, you know, that melody. The loop in the background. Yeah.

Kind of kind of had like a, yeah, like a, it just made me think of like a Renaissance Fair fleet or something. You know, like he's. the Piper just kind of like just kind of reminded me of a flute man You know I heard flute I love it dude It is funny to hear You know back to back

The son and the father like that You want to talk about like Just a perfect instrument Is Tom York's voice Yeah and here I was thinking that it was one in a million And turns out his son Is right behind him So yeah man that was Mark Pritchard and Tom York

Let's see where do we go from here So I'm going to do not a 180, but definitely pick the tempo up a little bit. So I've actually played a song from this band before. So this band, they're called Bar Italia. And you may remember. That sounds familiar. Yeah. So they're kind of this.

I feel like they tap into some of that 2000s era post-punk. kind of vibe. A lot of their guitar work kind of reminds me of bands like Interpol or The Strokes. Hell yeah. So it's interesting, you know, because, you know, this is a brand new single that came out. And it's an EP that came out last month. I'm just going to go with, I'm just going to go with the title track queue. So here we go. This song is called punked, P-U-N-K-T. Again, this band is called Bar Italia. Really good stuff. hard to describe. Yeah, but like right out of the gate, right? Like Interpol strokes big time, right? Totally. Yeah. And what do you know, Q? This record, so I kept calling it a single. It's actually,

or an EP, it's two singles off their upcoming record, which comes out, well, it should be out now. Newsflash, we're not recording this in June. We're recording it in May. But the record will be out by the time this episode comes up. So May 19th is when this record comes out. It's going to be called Tracy Denham. So there is a full length coming out. I mean, there's a full link that's out right now. If you want to go listen to the rest of this record, I'm sure it's great. But what I'm trying to get at, Q, is that this record came out on Matador Records. And what do you know?

That was Interpol's record label, yeah. Turn on the Bright Lights. I think just about, yeah, just about all of their records, Matador. So there you go, Q. Mattador is still signing the post-punk. You know, sound. So these guys are from London, by the way. I'm not sure if that's relevant or not.

But I love how each, all three of the members sang on this track. I don't know if you caught those three very different voices, right? Very different styles, too. Yeah. One of them reminded me of... The gorillas? No, I can't remember the name of this group. Dude, we brought...

Massive attack? No. Oh, those are two bands that I thought of. The guy, the deeper voiced guy. Yeah, yeah, the second guy, right? Yeah, it reminded me of that punk group that released an album a few years back that was on one of our best of. Yeah, isn't it like a one word? Something, man.

The album covers like a huge big pink balloon getting pushed into some guy's face. Yeah, yeah. It's on the tip of my, the tippy tip of my tongue. shit yeah let me let me go back i can find it it is best of 2020 best of 2020 had to be had to be okay i think it was the same year that i oh here it is here it is cue give me give me oh so that one of their songs is called war they're called idols yes idols thank you anyway that was baritalia uh that song was called punked it is off of their brand new record Tracy Denham out now on Matador Records.

All right, Q, I throw it back to you. What do you got? All right, man, I'm going to pull the first true 180 of the night and play some jazz. Jazz, man, dude. This is the year of jazz for us. We've been playing a lot of jazz this year. Well, that's another one of my favorite things to do. I was talking about, I think it was last month's episode,

super early morning drives, dude. like 5 a.m. drives music hits different. Well, with jazz, I like to queue that up at night once the sun's down. If I'm doing a late night drive to the grocery store, I'm going to hit up our local jazz station. Okay.

And this song... Got to get the Shazam at the ready? You got a Shazam. Well, my car tells me. Well, fine. This guy's name. name is Gene Ammons. He plays tenor sacks. And he's a legend, dude.

And this album is fantastic. This song is freaking great. This came out in 1987 called Boss Tinner. Because he's the boss, dude. Oh, okay. And he plays the Tinner Sacks. He plays the Tener Sacks. I see.

And we're going to play a song, and we're going to let this breathe a little bit. but I won't make it drag on for too long since we're, you know, trying to rapid fire here. Anyways, dude, you're going to love this, man. This song is called Hitting the Jug. Warm Blanket is the only way I don't describe that. Yeah, that tenor just comes out of nowhere, man, just punches you. I love that one that happens. Yeah, what else is there to say to you?

I mean, jazz is, um, timeless yeah it's just nothing nothing else i you know tickles my my earbone like a saxophone you know if he played the trombone that would have been nicer if i could say it earbone trombone but oh sorry man maybe next month i'll bring something on the trombone for you i could see how that would be great to hear early you know the wee hours of the morning driving around or the we hours of night, as it were. Jazz hits different at night, man, when the sun's down. How about we just say jazz hits different, you know, just in general?

Jazz hits different. It does, man. So again, that was Gene Ammons. The song was called Hitting the Jug. That was his nickname. And I'm going to pass it back to you, brother. What you got? Do you remember a band called Temples?

Yes, dude. You used to give them shit. I did. Being way too on the nose, like, almost a parody of a psych rock group. I was heavy into... Sun structures. Sun structures, yeah, man.

I loved that album. Came out in 2014. So, yes, I think I may have even been on record on this podcast. Yes. You kind of rough on them. Now, here's why. You were hard on him, dude. Here's why.

you know who kind of came along and sort of surpass them quite infinitely more in terms of popularity doing a similar kind of thing we played them earlier today on the show tame impala right and what I was annoyed about with temples is that the record tapes, they put out, especially Volcano in 2017, they're just doing Tame Impala. They're trying so hard to beat Tame Impala. But here's the thing. I think you're wrong, dude, but that's all right. We'll move on. That's fine.

That's fine. Hey, I'm about to give them some praise here. Okay. They put out a brand new record this year called Exotica. Came out in April. I think they're sort of coming into their own a little bit. this record has a lot of really cool things going on about it um musically i think they're leaning really a little bit more into like prog rock stuff which is kind of cool and i'm going to play the title

track off of this record uh so here we go this song is called exotico love to hear him keeping on i haven't really listened to them since sun structures well yeah check out exotico for Sure. The whole record is interesting. You know, from track to track, they do a lot of really interesting things. So what I liked about that track is that, that drumbeat and like the beginning part of that song was almost like a down tempo kind of thing going on. Yeah. Which you don't really hear down tempo mixed with psychedelic rock very much, which is kind of interesting, right? And like they have some like strings, really sampled strings on some of the tracks, which is why I was saying that they're kind of maybe leaning kind of toward like a prog-rock type thing like like yes or something like that.

But anyway, you know, his, it's hard not to compare them to at least the way Kevin Parker sings, right? I mean, there's a lot of similarities there. Well, I was getting some ambulance LTT vibes. Okay. Yeah. Nobody knows who that is. But I think we did it. Well, we did a whole episode.

We did an episode on them, yeah. But yeah. Anyway, so, yeah, Temples. You know, if you want a good, solid, psych rock record, I think Temples is, you know, they're going to scratch that, that itch for you, you know. And like you said, Sun Structures, which was like their first big record came out 2014. That's still a decent, decent play. So anyway. All right, Q, I think this is your last.

track. What did you got for us? All right. This is a super rando, man. I was just going through some old playlists to pull this one out. So this is a group called Molkot DOMA. I don't know if I'm

pronouncing that right. They're from Belarus, so I think they're Russian Russian group. No idea what any of the lyrics are. Don't even know what the songs are called because it's all in a different script. Oh, I've heard, I'm wondering if you're going to play the same song that I know from these guys

that showed up on an Instagram of Wednesday dancing. Wednesday from Adams family, yeah. Well, I guess that's it, dude. I guess this, you know what, that's good because. I like this track a lot, dude. Okay, well, this song has made its way then. This is one of the songs that shows up on TikTok and Instagram videos. I think so.

Yeah. And you know what that happens, dude. Once a song on a super popular, you know, viral video is played, then it just gets swooped into every single freaking video. Yeah. That's trending. Yep. So yeah. Maybe a lot of people have heard it. Well, I did the same thing, dude. When I saw that Instagram, I was like, I got to find out who this band is. Yeah, of course. Yeah. All right. So this is, again, Molcott Doma. The album is from 2018. I don't know what the name of the album is, man. I could look up the translation, but ain't nobody got time for that. Nope. And this is track seven off the record. Here we go. Yeah, I just, you know, the guitar is what drew me to that song, like that surfy guitar. And I, yeah, like I said, I originally saw it on a Instagram video. I saw it on some other random-ass video, dude, a few years back.

Well, yeah, the one I saw it was on, it was a video of, Wednesday from the original Adams family show from the 60s dancing and dude she was busting moves man I was impressed dude hang on a second now look at this man I just I just saved this playlist not that long ago it's called children of the night yeah that's like dark dude how random is that that's the scene of her dancing because yeah and yeah and speaking of this group

Molcott DOMA they're the ones that kind of kicked start like kicked off my like newfound love of like dark wave and the gothic new wave. Yeah. And that's why I saved this playlist because it popped up on another, I don't know, some other artists I've been following. And yeah, there, there she is.

There she is. Yeah, that's from the, uh, I looked it up. That's from the episode Lurch's Grand Romance aired April 1st, 1966. Uh, Lurch needed some romance lessons queue. And you got, Wednesday on a dance. There they are on the playlist. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm about to cue this up in Depeche mode. Totally. All that kind of shit, dude. Love it. Joy to Vision, Halow. All right. Anyways, that is Molkat Doma.

And I'm going to pass it on to you, Trav. Last Track of the Night, which you got. All right. I'm going to close us out with some video game-inspired vapor wave, as I like to do. So here's another brand new record. I brought a lot of new tunes today. So this is not the first time this particular artist has been on No filler.

He put out a record with Equip that I believe I brought, perhaps I brought to this episode before, maybe as a year-end or something. Anyway, it was called Nameless Dreamers. I think I brought one of their tracks as a, I think it was our best stuff from last year. Anyway, so he put out a new record last month called a Mist Continent. And I'm going to play a song. here called Expresso Zone

which is what I like to do in the morning is getting to the espresso zone all right here we go again this song is called Expresso Zone by R23X that feels like a soundtrack you know like I can see

I can see me jumping around in a little like side-scroller game Yeah, and that's the thing. Like, you know, a lot of these artists that do what, you know, what they call VGM vaporwave video game music paperwork. Like they will sample in sounds from old video games, right? And like use the same equipment or computer programs that were used back in like the 80s and 90s when this early video game music was being made. So like it is the sounds that you, that you would hear, you know, from games, you. played when you're growing up, you know.

So very hypnagogic. If you're our age at least, yeah, definitely hypnagogic. Might gravitate back to this stuff all the time. This is my jam. So again, that was a brand new record from R23X called Mist Continent. Check it out. And that's going to wrap us up for this episode, Q. What are we going to do for an outro track?

you know nobody nobody talks to us anymore all those people out there listening you know well you did find out that we we have about the same amount of plays monthly plays as we did pre 2023 when we changed things up and started doing once a month shows so that's good to hear and we still got listeners you know so we know the listeners that yeah and they're hanging they're hanging with us you know so yeah so you know matters man if if you're listening right now which a fair guess that you're probably a fan of music if you're listening to this podcast, send us a message on Instagram. Tell us what you've been listening to, you know. And we'll play it on next month's episode for our outro track, you know, if we like it.

That is, you know, if it's garbage, then we'll pretend like we didn't read the message, you know. It's got to be up to our world-class standies. As long as it's not just complete and utter crap, we'll probably play it, you know. But that means, you know, send us more than one track, you know, than your chances of us liking at least one of them, you know, it's going to increase, you know. Anyway, Instagram, look us up, just search for No Failure podcast, and then we will pop right up, send us a message,

tell us what you've been listening to lately. It could be any genre, any decade, doesn't matter. So anyway, we'll figure something out to play. Let's fade out with some more of that tasty Thundercat, Tame and Paul. the jam. We were just getting to the goodies. That's true. We'll pick it up when Kevin, right, where Kevin jumps into it. So, all right. Like we said, search for us on Instagram if you want to get in touch with us. You can, of course, always find us on the Pantheon podcast network where you can find lots of
