the Pantheon Network. Welcome to No Filler. I'm Travis. And I'm Quentin. And we're kicking things off this month with the brand new single from Pincey Slow. This song is called Us Blazing. Our intro was a little bit of a banger dude because I think this might be the first episode where we're recording it like the break of dawn, at least for me. Yeah. It's still dark outside. Yeah, it's early. 6 a.m. It is early. Yeah, that's a great song, dude.

Yeah, so they put out a split EP with a doom metal group called Sorcerer, which is fitting because they're a Doom Gaze band, right? We did a whole episode on Doom Gaze. I don't know if it was two years ago last year, 2020, like time just, you know, it all just blends together. Yeah, especially on this podcast. Yeah, and especially at the crack in the morning, as you said. At the crack of noon.

crack of 8 a.m. which is not too early for me. I'm actually awake. I'm up at this time every morning, dude. Or earlier, yeah. But yeah, that was a fun episode, dude. That one in our Shugays episode where it was just a mix of different bands,

different styles of both those genres. That was a great episode. Both of those were fun. And Pincey Slow was one of those groups that was on the Doomgays episode. And then we've also done a full episode on them. if you like that go back in in in in in filler past and check out our episodes on on doomgays and pincey slow they actually put out a brand new record last year called neglect and they made my

my top 20 episode i think they i think they were in the top five for me last year a track what are your thoughts on this new ep? or LP when everyone caught. Sorcerer is kind of interesting. So, you know, the band that they put the EP out with. So, you know, it's a split EP. So, like, there's a Pensy Slow track, a Sorcerer track. And then there's a track that they collaborated on, which is kind of cool.

Because it's got, you know, it's got a little bit of both of them. But I'm just happy to hear a new Pensey Slow single because I love everything they do. And, yeah, there's just something about their stock. You know, it's the perfect blend of, well, do metal and shoegaze, Q. That's what it's called DoomGaze. All right, Q. Awesome. We're going to do as we do these days and rapid fire, as we like to say.

So this is the month of October. It is, which means I need to coordinate this with you, Q. We've got to do our Halloween episode. We do it every year. I'm not going to miss it, dude. I'll be there. All right. Well, I got to figure out what we're going to,

we're going to do. What were the last few? So I think last year was wide zombie or no, yeah, wide zombie. I think we just did let's exorcisto, I believe, is that name of it. Didn't we do John Carpenter the year before? Yeah, we did, we did an episode where I played a couple tracks off of, I think it was Halloween 3, which is, you know, not a very beloved entry in the, in the Halloween franchise,

but the, as far as the movie goes. As far as the movie goes. The soundtrack is really cool. Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats. Remember that? That was a good one. That might have been 2021. I think so, yeah.

And then 2020 was John Carpenter. Isn't this crazy how many Halloween's we've done doing no fill out? I mean, I think we've, I think we did one every year. The first one we did was the undoing of David Wright, which holds a special place in my heart. That was a fun, fun episode. So then maybe we didn't do on the first year. Yeah. Either way, every year we draw a Halloween episode where it's just a short little, I don't know, half hour show.

And we just get into some spooky stuff. And I think each one has been great, dude, worth listening. If you're into the spooky time of year, like my dear brother Travis is he lives and breathes horror films. now I mean you know as we always like to remind you every month

we record these these episodes the month prior right so it's not actually October yet it's September 4th

to pool the curtain back a little bit so I haven't actually started my once a day horror movie marathon but I started to work

on my list so why did you take it seriously I do I'm not messing around but I'd like to record our Halloween episode in October proper Q. I agree.

I agree. So anyway, yeah, I got to figure out what we're going to talk about. So be on the lookout. There should be another episode dropping this month for you guys at some point. Actually, we'll drop it on Halloween. That's what we do. Yes, sir. There you go.

Okay. That's how that works. All right, Q, well, I'm going to kick us off this month for those new to the pod. first of all, I like to know if we actually get any new listeners, you know, are we just down to the loyal fans, if you can even call them that listeners? I used to listen to Jesse versus Cancer a lot. He also was one of the co-hosts on Probably Science. And his whole joke was, we're getting it down to the final six. I want to get down to a small enough number that I can just fly you guys all up and we can hang out in my backyard. All right, we can record an episode together. So are we getting down to the final six?

Probably. I'm fine with that. Me too. That's the funny thing, dude. We're just going to keep doing this regardless. We're going to sand it down regardless. That's a deep cut twin inside joke. Yeah, I'll be doing that.

Twin side joke. Oh, dude. All right. Somebody out there may have seen that stand-up special. I don't know who that was. Yeah, I don't remember who the comedian was. Yeah. Anyways, yeah, how are we starting things off, dude?

All right, so I'm going to try to keep us, you know, keep the energy going here so we don't fall asleep. So I'm going to start us off with a group that, Q, you probably remember from back in the day. This group is called Cut Copy. Dude, yes, man. I still go back and revisit. Let me see, what's the album called? Bright, like, Neon Love? Yes, sir.

All right. Well, I'm bringing a track song. I am. Dude. Saturday's reprise is such a great little song. And that was just a dream. I love that song, dude. Love that song.

All right. Cool. I'm excited. Not bringing either of those tracks, cute. Good. But I'm bringing another gem from the record. Dude, what a great.

This is a perfect example of the kind of stuff that was coming out in their early 2000s. Yes. I was going to say, something similar. Like this is a good snapshot of whatever you want to call this. Maybe we can listen to it and then try to describe it afterwards. Dude, I'm excited, man. I love this stuff. All right, here we go. So this song, again, the group is called Cut Copy. This song is called Future. Captures that sound that was blown up in there really goes. It's like a throwback to 80s in a way. with like the synthiness of it yeah and yeah man they they were one of the one of the ones

that was stuck out to me you know like as far as like staying power goes is it's like a album i always revisit yeah me too and it's one of those records you can just hit hit play on and the whole thing is great yeah everything kind of flows together so yeah um they describe themselves says a blend between rock and dance music, right? Which a lot of 80s music was that, you know? It was like the blend of the two, you know? And yeah, they've been a staple, you know, they're still put on music since they early O's when they dropped.

All right, Q, throw it to you. So this is going to work out real well, dude, because I feel like it might be late to the point. party with this artist because I don't remember where I found, I found this artist. It was in like an article that I read. I started using the Google news feed. And, you know, like anything with Google, it starts to recommend articles based on what I've read, you know, because it's always watching me, dude.

Google's always watching. So I've started to get a lot of really great articles, like music articles that get thrown into the feed. And this artist popped up on, I think it was like a, like a, here's the next generation of indie or something like that. Yeah, really young artists. This guy goes by Kenny Hoopla. You ever heard of him? Nope. All right.

Well, this is a doozy, dude. And the reason I say it's going to follow well. with cut copies because this guy sounds a lot like Block Party. Okay. And his lyricism, vocal delivery, the drum beats, you know, everything. But it looks like just recently, like within the last few months, he's collaborated with Block Party. So they're aware of his existence. And I guess they just are super stoked that.

he's basically paying an homage to him that they collaborated with him yeah that's funny dude they're like man you you you really sound like us so like you you know you're just sound better than us than me do let's just get in on this although it's funny black party put out a new record in the last couple of years i think oh they're still kicking it dude yeah um so yeah let's just play a track dude this you're gonna love this man it's awesome all right so this is kinney hoopla and this this track is called How Will I Rest in Peace if I'm Buried by a Highway? Man, I've never heard that block party song before. Dude, man, I love that song.

You also kind of remind me vocally a little bit of Janus, I think his name is, of Foles. Foles? Oh, yeah, a little bit. Similar kind of vocal stylings for sure. Yeah, really good, dude. Yeah, very, very block party. reminiscent like the the drums for sure drums are very yeah the percussion the double up on the high hat the very like stabby guitar you know like the syncopated kind of guitar stuff really good

stuff so block party was like hey we'd like to we'd like to just you know show you how it's done here and do a track with you or what so they they made a track together yeah interesting i haven't listened to it yeah that's cool i mean dude you want to talk about like imagine you know, you're a musician and you have a clear influence and they're like, hey, let's, jam together. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome.

All right, dude, I feel like I'm bright head and bushy tilt now. I think we're good because I've got a slow burn, but I wanted to hold off just so we could make, you know, make sure that we got nice and got the caffeine in our veins and we're good to go. So, so again, that was Kenny Hoopla. And Travis and passed it over to you. Okay, Q. So, you know, I watch movies a lot. And I've been on a, I've been on a kick where I've been, I've been watching a lot of the, a lot of my favorite movies from like the 90s in the early 2000s and stuff like that. And I've been watching a lot of these, I guess you can call them like crime, noir kind of films, I guess. So one of my favorite movies of all time. Two of my favorite films of all time.

One is a movie called Collateral with Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox. Great movie. Amazing. It's been a long time since I've seen it. Amazing movie, dude. And the soundtrack's great. That actually came out in 2004. And the other one is called Memento.

And everybody remembers that. Oh, yeah. Dude, I knew you're going to say that. And I knew that was one of your favorites. Yeah, it's always been a favorite of mine. Anyway, so Memento. specifically had a soundtrack that came with or that they put out called music for and inspired by the film.

So it was like tracks from the actual soundtrack, like from the score, the cinematic score. And then also some of it would just be, you know, songs that kind of fit the theme of the movie. So anyway, I'm going to play a track from this soundtrack. So this is, and the funny thing is this particular artist. also appears on collateral. So, like, his music appeared on both films, funny enough. Interesting.

But he's a very well-known musician, DJ, named Paul Oakenfold. And so, yeah, if you're, if you're, like, you know, heavy in the club scene, you have probably heard some of his music before, right? So anyway, so here we go. The song is called Amnesia. and again the artist is named Paul Oakenfold. That's one of those genres I could cue up anytime. Anytime.

Doesn't matter what I'm doing. I could be out in the yard doing some garden work. I could be working, dishes, cleaning, mowing, vacuuming. Sounds like the music that you'd like to listen to when you're doing chores is what it sounds like. Everything you've described is like, housework, man. You're right. But that song would be great at a house party, too.

Sure. Yeah. If you want to, you know, if it's like a dinner party, you know, kind of like. That's the only kind of part of the day. You know, we're in our mid-30s. Fair enough. I'm not going for any headbangers for a party. Anyway.

Yeah. So funny you said that because like, you know, when it comes to like the type of music I listened to as Q-tip of a tribe called Quest once said don't you know the things going cycles the way that Bobby Brown's still amping like Michael I had to look up the lyrics for that by the way I couldn't just recite that man dude I was impressed I was impressed but yeah you know I I've talked about this before like I I'll go in in in phases right like and I always circle back to I've got my my genres that I listen to it's like like metal, down tempo, which would be this.

And then like the evergreen year round is like, you know, shoegays, 90s rock, stuff like that, right? But I'm kind of back in my down tempo phase right now. This kind of music, you know, sort of fits into that. But yeah, it's like perfect nighttime night drive music, right? Like you could put this on and just drive around. Anyway. Also, if you've never seen Memento, check out.

out. Just know that you're going to have to stop. Like, you know, it's not one of those films you could just like have on in the background and then you're, you're fucking around on, on TikTok or something like that. Like, you got to pay attention to this film. You know what I mean? I don't want to, no spoilers, but. No, it's a tough one. Yeah. It's a tough cookie to crack, which is, which means it was, it was done well because it's, it's one of those films where you really not supposed to know what's going on. That's, yeah, and it's, that too much. I don't think you've said too much cute But yeah

That's actually it's a Christopher Nolan film So it's before Yeah it's before he Really became the Christopher Nolan that we all know You know I mean that's almost like bottle rocket is to Wes Henderson Just how different it is than than what you know

Christopher Nolan has become over the years Yeah Yeah I want to say Let's see Yeah I mean this was really one of his one of his early films. Yeah, just five years later is when he did Batman Begins.

And that's kind of like, you think about it. That's kind of what, yeah, exactly. Anyway, so, yeah, that was Paul Oakenfold. A song was called Amnesia. And, yeah, so, you know, that was kind of a departure from our first two songs, cute. So, so what are you going to do for us here? Okay.

I'm sure this happens with you, dude. But you're listening to a public radio station. I always say that because That's all you do. That's all you. And they always have great songs as segways in between segments, right?

And if you're not quick enough to bust out your phone to Shazam it, it's gone forever. That's one of those rules in life here. You've got to have Shazam on the ready. And I don't even use Shazam proper, right? It's just, it's kind of like Kleenex. That's a brand.

But, oh, I actually do use. Shazam proper. Not I. But anyways, I was able to catch this one in time. And it's a good follow up to the Oakenfield track you just played. Wow, dude. This person has 599 monthly listeners. That's a drop in the pale.

So the artist is named Coet, K-O-E-T-T. Yeah, I'll just let the music play. This is a track called a walk in the spring, rain from their 2016 album Thaw. Yeah, I enjoyed that quite a bit, Q. Thought you would. So, do you know who that reminded me of?

Big time. Tell me. Arms and Sleepers, Black Parish 86. Mm-hmm. Which, by the way, I'm quickly typing as fast as my fingers can type to see. So apparently that

last year was the 15th anniversary of Black Parish 86. I'm curious if they re-released it on vinyl. Didn't you have a copy of that? Yeah, dude, I've got a pretty rare copy of it. You do still have a copy of it, okay. Oh, yeah.

So I thought maybe that was one of the ones that you sold. Remembering you sold a bunch of your records? Yeah, no, I did. That one's staying with me. Yeah, man. Kind of blending in different world, you know, world music. Uh-huh. Well, just like, yeah.

Yes, exactly. Kind of like that darker electronic. It's kind of like jazz kind of a little bit. What's the name of that artist that you brought a few, maybe a couple months ago? He was collaborating with gaslight. Gas, gas something. Gaslight anthem? Gas lamp killer.

Gas lamp killer. Yeah, that same vibe, or Babyo or any of this. Yeah, yeah. That world, yep. Yeah. Totally. Yeah, man. So that was Coet.

The song was called A Walk in the Spring Rain. And pass it back to you, brother. Pew, pew, rapid fire. All right, I've got a great one for us here, Q. How familiar are you with Lauren Hill, the R&B hip-hop artist? She was in the beat, the Fugis, right? not the Pige's. Yep.

Yeah, she was in the Fugis. I'm not familiar with her, like her solo stuff at all. Okay. So, um,

I've been watching this, this, uh, series on Netflix, which I highly recommend, uh, you know how they did that hip-hop evolution? Yes.

Series. Yes. Yes. So they have another one, um, another one that's similar. It's a little three, I think a three or four part.

mini series called Ladies First. The story of women and hip hop is. Isn't that a Queen Latifah song? It is. Yeah, exactly. And that's obviously what they're nodding to, right? So it's just, you know, kind of talks about, yeah, women and how crucial and like, how basically women have been a part of hip hop since state one of hip hop. That sounds awesome.

Yeah, definitely watch it. It's great. So anyway, of course, they talk about Lauren Hill for a little bit. And so a lot of people. people are probably familiar with tracks off of her 1998 record, the miseducation of Lauren Hill. Oh, yeah. So that's, you know, do-wop, that thing is a massive song that most people now, right? And others. Anyway, so that record also just celebrated its 25th anniversary in August, August 25th. And now she's, she's doing a tour with the,

Fugees for that record. Anyway, so we're going to listen to the second track on this record. And man, it's awesome, dude. This record won like five Grammys in 98. So she was, and that was actually that made her the first woman to receive that many nominations and awards in a single night. So 10 nominations, five awards. So this, yeah, this was a massive, massive record. Yeah, and I knew it was. And I haven't listened to it at all. all. No one of those things, man. What's it? Dude. Like, what have I been waiting for? Exactly. Well, here's

a amazing, amazing track off the record. So, here we go. So again, this is Lauren Hill. Miss Lauren Hill is how she's labeled on Spotify. So here we go. This song is called Lost Ones. It's funny how

money changes situation. Miscommunication lead the complication. My emancipation, don't put your equation. I was on the humble you. One every single like she's down. One of the sun. Major came down.

Elbeke. Now, violin. Yeah, take a threat to me from temptation. It's kind of leads you speechless, right? If you've, I mean, if you've, if you've been a lifelong fan, it's like, duh. I mean, come on, guys. How have you not listened to this record? I like, duh.

This is track two. Yeah, exactly. I love the repetition of the rhyme pattern. And there's probably a better way to say that in the world of rap. Yeah. But I like that it was basically the same. you know, the same two, dude, I'm not even going to, I can't.

Don't even try. Don't even try. I'm so, man, yeah, I do, I, I'm not enough of, of an avid rap listener. Yeah, we're not, uh, yeah, and I think we've talked about this before. Like, this is, you know, I'm just, I'm fascinated by the history of, of hip hop and rap. And I love dipping my toes. And that's, I feel like that's all I ever do is just, I still just dip my toes, you know what I mean? Right. Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, but.

But yeah. Yeah, dude, I love rapists. Is that, that sounds like a... That's a Parks and Rec. Is it? Larry, Gary, Jerry Gergich said that once. And I think Tom is like, it's rapper, Jerry. Anyway, so yeah, go check out that Netflix series, Q.

I think you'll like it. It's called Ladies First. go catch her tour with the Fugis. I mean, that's going to be, it's going to be incredible. I mean, she's an iconic musician. All right, Q. So where do we go from here where I think we're, you know, we're kind of all over the place today, but.

All right, man. Yeah, I think I'm going to go full 180. So having that old FM radio unit in my house that I've got like speakers. and quite a few of the rooms. I've, dude, I've learned to love radio again. And that might be thanks to some of the stations that are up here

because I've got a lot of great ones. I think you're the last one. Dude, it's cool, man, because, okay, so shout out to this radio station. It's called 92-9 K-I-S-M.

Broadcasts way up in Bellingham, which is, I'm lucky enough that it gets, that it comes through so well. down here because Bellingham is at the tippy top of Washington State. I'm down towards the bottom of it. And this is, okay, dude, when you think of a classic rock station, what comes to mind? Zeppelin, ACDC, Guns and Roses, Airosmith, Boston.

And it's maybe five songs from each of those artists rotated out every gadget day. Just on repeat ad nauseum. Yes. this is the first classic rock station that does, I mean, dude, they play deep cuts, dude. They're not playing all the hits. Not only that, but they play,

like they do different eras. I think they do like 60s at 6, 70s at 7. Let's put it this way, dude. I heard the Goldfinger theme song on it the other day, James Bond. Okay. Yeah. Anyways, so this track

actually is a single. It's an Eric Clapton song from one of his records from 76 called No Reason to Cry. This is one of those things, dude, where everyone knows Eric Clapton, but you know, Wonderful Tonight, you know, Layla, you know, you know, cocaine, you know, the huge, huge hits, but there's, I don't even know how many albums this guy has dropped. You know, dozens. Lots of records. Yeah. this is one of those moments, dude, where I was just like, man,

radio's great. This is awesome. I would never have. Well, that's what you would hope to get out of radio, right? It's like hearing something you never heard before. And that's the problem, like you said, with most of these classic drag stations. We've heard it all a million times. You know what I mean?

Most of the songs that I've added in the last month leading up to this recording were songs I heard on that station. And this is one of them. dude, here we go. All right, again, this is a track from No Reason to Cry. Eric Clapton, this track is called Hello, Old Friend. I never would have guessed that that was a Clapton song if you hadn't told me. Yeah. Which tells you that my knowledge of Clapton really is limited to those five songs that I've heard throughout my life, you know.

Yeah, let me tell you. tell you, dude, that's what this station has been doing to me. I heard an Al Stewart song on it the other day from an album piece called Time Passages from 78. And yeah, it's one of those, one of those moments, dude. I was just like, wait a second. That's cool. I had no idea. So, yeah, so I would, what I would want to do is listen to that, whatever record that was off. You know what I mean? There's no reason to cry. Yeah, maybe that's, because I, I like that crowd a bit. I mean, it wasn't, It wasn't your typical what I think of. I always think of like the blues rock stuff, right, of Eric Clapton.

Right. And that's the thing, dude. If we were actively listening to music in 1976, this is probably a single that we would remember. But like I feel like what I like about this station is it's almost like this is probably a single that's gotten lost in time for the most part. for Clapton fans for you know for for for most people unless you were an avid music listener back then you've probably forgotten about that song completely yeah totally anyways shout out again to 92 9 KISM I'm gonna be queuing you up when I make breakfast this morning after we after we hit stop all right all right brother rounding the bend what you got for us

All right, Q. So I don't know what artists led me to this group, but I just know that I was on the Wikipedia for whatever artist I was looking at. And it was a dream pop band. It might have been the dream pop article on Wikipedia. And, you know, I was talking about the origin of the term. And it led me to this group called A.R. Kane,

which is an 80s group from London. And the lead singer of that group is said to have been the one who coined the term Dreampop to describe their music. Wow. So this is arguably like, you know, the birth of Dreampop in terms of like connecting that that term to a sound, right? So that's the term that this artist used to describe their own music, right? And then it was, you know, taken from there and whatever. So anyway, you know, I got to listen to that, right? Definitely, the origin story.

And, yeah, and this is, it's interesting, very interesting group. So they only lasted for a few years. The name rings a bell. I mean, it's possible you've heard some of this stuff. But anyway, we're going to listen to a track off of their 1989 record called I, as in the letter I. and this track is called What's All This Then? That was awesome, dude.

Really cool. I'm reading a quote here from the lead singer, or no, from I guess the other guy. Rudy Tambala is one of the two. So it's a duo. But this is interesting to me. So, you know, when I think of Dream Pop, I always think of cocktail twins.

in terms of like if you had to put a band to represent dream pop and a band to represent shoegays like it would be cocktail twins and dream pop my bloody valentine and shoegays like if you want to just think about like a good way to think about the two right anyway right so um tombole was talking about him and the other guy Alex Ayuli they were basically when they decided, oh, we could do this. They were watching a taping of a performance by

the Cocktoe Twins where he basically said, you know, they had no drummer. They used tapes and technology and Liz Frazier looks completely otherworldly with those big eyes and the noise coming out of Robin Guthrie's guitar. That was the fuck, we could do that.

We could express ourselves like that moment. That's cool. Anyway, so they were inspired by Cockto Twos Twins, which is funny because I would have thought that the dream pop term would have already been in use at that point to describe Cockto Twins. But now, it's just funny that like the term that a group inspired by Cocteau Twins came up with to describe their own music went on to be very heavily associated with the band that they were influenced by. Yeah. If you think about it. That's like what came first, the egg or the gym?

Yeah, exactly. Anyway, so again, that group was called A.R. Kane. Really interesting stuff. Very, very eclectic music from the two records that I've listened to. I listened to their first record 69 and then I started listening to I came out a couple of years later. Very interesting things. They also went on, you know, according to the Wikipedia page at least, they're kind of recognized as an influence on Shugay's Trip Hop. and post rock which is interesting so they're very very um they're kind of all over the place anyway

all right Q what do you got all right dude it's gonna throw some shoegaze into the mix that's a good transition yeah dude

look at this playlist cover art I'm gonna just have to spin it because of how crazy look at this Distorted shoe. Distorted shoe.

A very broad playlist of all kinds of shoe guys. I'm just going to heart that. That's funny. But the photo is just... Yeah, that's funny. He was listening to Hank Hill. Bobby's Christian heavy metal. Right?

No, it was a... Yeah, it was like a boy band. Like a Christian boy band. That's right. Anyways, this is a group called... Resplander. You heard of them? No.

Risplander. Maybe it's pronounced a little bit more gracefully than that. But a long time ago, I brought a song from this instrumental Shugay's playlist that I was into for a bit. This is one of those bands that came from that. I can't remember the name of the playlist, but it's not instrumental. So I really think that the person who made that playlist needs to change the name of. Risplander. Risplander. Well, I was saying that the person who made that playlist should probably change the name.

Most of the songs are instrumental. This is not one of them. But this is just great, solid, you know, fuzzy, wall of sound, she gaze. The album is called Tristeza from 2022. I think that's the name of another album that I've... Or a song or something. Yeah. Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.

Okay. All right, here we go. This is again, resplander. That sounds wrong. Resplandor. It just, it sounds like someone who doesn't know how to pronounce things in Spanish. Yeah. Can I get a quesadil?

Cuezadilla? We miss pronounce things all the time. All the time. Podcast, it's a running joke. Yeah. All right, here we go. This track is called Blue. Yeah, it's cool to hear that after A. Arcane, you know, because you can just hear how Dream Pop shoe gaze, how consistent it's been for 40 years, you know.

Yeah, this is 2022. Right. Yeah. Really good track. Yeah, just classic shoegaze. You notice how in the second verse, there is one line with the word whisper in it. but I don't know if you could tell, but they literally were whispering along.

Yeah, I think maybe both of them were I could hear two voices whispering the lines of the verse along with the actual singing, which that's cool. Yeah, that's cool. Very subtle. But yeah, great album, dude, all the way through. I haven't really listened to anything else from them,

but yeah, good stuff. All right, Tribe, this is your last track, huh? It is. All right, man. How are you going to, you're going to, keep it in that pocket or do it a 180 wouldn't call it a 180 but definitely a different different building so i actually brought this artist well it's it's funny so in i guess it was july's episode i guess the track was more attributed to the artist ramsie it was like an idm track it was off of their record

but it was a collaboration with this other artist named Priory or Priory. I'm not sure how you pronounce it. Either way, so this is another track from that individual. And this is their actual record, but it's a collaboration with another artist. So like this artist just, I guess, works with a bunch of different musicians. So it's a track by a group called Red. And I say group, it's probably an individual. priority in red

who cares it's by it's a long-witted way of saying this is a IDM track which Q I know the last time I played an IDM track you said thank you

for reminding me about this music so here I am just to remind you again Q and what I like about this what stood out to me about this particular record is it's an interesting blend of drum and bass with IDM, which is really cool. Because I love, I love drum and bass stuff.

Like when it's that, sort of like that. I always think of Amet Tobin. That's who I like have slated. Oh, yeah. Slotted in my brain. Definitely. As drum and bass, like the really fast. Yeah.

Percussion. Jazzy stuff. That doesn't really match the track behind it. You know what I mean? A lot of times. Right. Especially with this track here. So here we go.

All right. So this is, again, the two artists is priority and red. this song is off of the 2022. Here's another 22 track. Record called Nye and this track is called From the Swallow. Like if you're into any

kind of stuff, when I hear a drum and bass track, I almost feel like the bass part is also referencing the bass drum. There's never like impressive bass like bass guitar in there right it's always like super punchy fast bass drum kicks like you know really really complex uh almost like hip hop sounding drum beats but like yeah super super complex and really cool that was great yeah so i actually misspoke um it's not two individual artists so

is just a I guess a project like it's a he's basically going under the name red for this record so priority is the artist

isn't that like his name is Tobin didn't he do something like that oh he did a bunch of stuff it yeah Amy and Tobin has like three or four different what was the very old the like early days

what was he called Kujo yeah dude I haven't listened to any of that stuff in so long yeah Kujo adventures in foam.

1996. It's got some good stuff on it. Yeah. Yeah, man. Anyway, so let me describe this real quick, because this is great. Because it hits on what you just said. So, Ban Camp is awesome. If you didn't know that.

So the page for this on Ban Camp, you know, they have reviews, right, by people. And this person, just a rando, said an absolute, so he's describing this record, an absolute delight of rhythm and texture with production chops second to none and impressive number of styles are executed here to perfection. Waucus, how do you say? Rockus. Rockus hardcore, moody down tempo, sleek techno, and chunky IDM, to name a few. So yeah, kind of like what you just said, it's a mixture of a bunch of stuff, right? but man

awesome record if you want a cute actually I had like four tracks that I was considering for this episode because I liked like there's so many great tracks on this record that it was hard for me to pick which one to play so yeah awesome anyway I feel like with that particular track

like you're listening for those drums you know what I mean like the melody in the background is so slow and light yeah it's really cool it's not even part of the, you know, it's just kind of like this background thing. Yeah, well done. To quote Catherine Wheel's lead singer, you remember that episode we did it on Chrome? Where you say the guitars are the stars? Oh, yeah, yeah.

I feel like the drum. The drums are the stars on this record, cue. If I can take a completely unrelated record and genre and apply it to this. Oh, you sure can, dude. And I just did. So, all right, Q, last track. How are you going to close this out here? All right, I'm excited to share this with him with you, dude.

This one I've been, I've been thinking about since I queued it up. Like, since I added it to the playlist, like, I know you're going to love this, man. Okay. So this was from an article that I read on louder sound.com called 30 insanely obscure underground rock albums that only connoisseurs know about. Okay. Here's the subtitle. Looking for something beyond Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Check out these bona fide buried treasures that only the most avid crate diggers will have heard. Actually, let me share the screen to you so you can see there's just like a grid image with like a bunch of the album covers. I recognize none of those. bunch of random stuff dude i guess i'm not a connoisseur i mean yeah i'm not really a big like digger for for quote unquote classic rock um yeah but this person has has provided 30 albums dude to give it a listen to and i've i've listened to a few of them not all the way through they vary and sound quite a bit dude um but all around this era like late 60s 70s this is a group called banshee and And this album is called Banshee.

It's a cell phone from 1969. Let me just read this top line here from the article. It says, originating from Long Island with connections to Boston. Who cares? Banshee formed at the tail end of 1968, full of melody and eclectic ideas, ranging from psychedalia to blues, folk, orchestral, and early hard rock. They released this excellent yet overlooked album for Atlantic the following year. So it's very prog rock sounding to me.

But really great. And apparently every band member contributes a few complete original tracks to the album. So it varies pretty widely in sound, you know, based on whatever member wrote the song. So it kind of feels, I don't know, kind of all over the place. But anyways, this song is so good, dude. You're going to love it. All right. The group is called Banshee.

This is from their self-titled from 69. This song is called Evolmia. Awesome track, yeah. Great. So, classic rock stations, if you're listening, play more of Banshee. Stop playing Zeppelin and ACDC and all that stuff. That's what I want to hear.

That's what I'm talking about earlier, dude. That's what I'm saying. That's, yeah. Come on, man. It's like most classic rock stations are, it's just there. to play the huge hits. Yeah, and from the mega artists. Yeah, and, you know, obviously there's reasons for that.

But I mean, licensing and all that crap. Well, hey, dude, that's, you know, that was my shout-out to KISM. Dude, they do a lot of this kind of stuff. Yeah. But yeah, shout out to Lee Dorian from louder sound.com for bringing this gym to my earlobes. Great stuff. it reminded me of yes Yeah

It's like an amalgamation of a bunch of different Yeah great And that's probably why they Maybe maybe that's why they didn't really Catch on Right Well they only drew They only released two albums as well

So who knows what happened to them But awesome record label too Or album art too I know I like it a lot Well cool That's an interesting way to close us out I feel like we don't really do too much

True classic rock on this Dude I'm gonna be bringing a lot more of it I'll tell you that Listen to that radio station. Well, that's good because, you know what, Q, I think the reason that we probably have straight away from classic rock is because all we know is the tropes and the, I know.

And the overplayed stuff that everybody's heard a million times. So yeah, more stuff like this. Can you bring it on? I've got it. I'll definitely be bringing more of it. All right. Cool. Well, that'll wrap us up for this month.

Well, no, it's not because there's going to be another one coming. for Halloween. So we're not, we're not done. Yeah. So be on the lookout. Halloween, probably,

I think we'd like to drive at Halloween evening, you know. Hallows Eve, is it? Hallows Eve, yeah. And go back and listen to all of our other great

bonus Halloween episodes. Lots of fun ones. I would say it again, dude, because I love this band so much and more people need to know about them. Go all the way back and listen to our first bonus Halloween episode

on the undoing of David Wright. It's a super awesome, like, dancey punk band, very short-lived from Denton, Texas, and they fit the bill, I think, perfectly for that whole album, dude. It's about grave diggers, you know? You know what I might do.

Maybe I'll release a few of the Halloween episodes leading up to you. That way you don't have to scroll back through our back catalog. That's a fantastic idea, because we need more content out there. We're only drop. one, one episode a month

when we used to be dropping them every fucking week. Well, I'm gonna, yeah. Crazy dude? Yeah, it's, it's, how do we keep that up for so long? For, for years, man. Man. All right. All right.

So I'm gonna feel like we're lazy now. Man. It's all right. I got a beautiful baby boy. He's probably just now waking up. And that's my reason for backing off from the mic a little bit. All right. All right.

All right. All right. All right, calm down. Okay. So there you go. Keep your eyes peeled for an episode each month. For an episode maybe each week leading up to Halloween. I think we have enough Halloween episodes from the back cataloged where I could pick basically three more leading up to the new one that we'll drop.

Who knows? Maybe I'll drop them all. We'll see. All right. So, yeah, that's it, Q. Reach out to us on Instagram. if you got something to say. Maybe we should start a Threads account, Q.

Have you heard of Threads before? That's Instagram's Twitter. Oh, it's from Facebook, dude. No, it's from Instagram. Actually, I guess that's all the same. No. Yeah, you're right. You're right.

Yeah. Never mind. That's a big, no thing. Literally the same company, so never mind. Yeah. Yeah. Probably not. But anyway.

So, you know what? I think would be fun to fade us out with that Kenny hoopla block party collab. Excellent idea. Haven't listened to it, so we'll see how it goes,

but I'm sure it's going to be a banger. Okay. All right. Well, again, we'll be back in your feed a few more times this month because it's my favorite month

of the year, I think, October. I love it, because it's leading into the winter months and that's my favorite time here. This is it. Yeah,

this is different. I love this time of year, dude. Same. And October is the best way to kick off fall. I love horror films if I haven't made that clear. All right. Well, that'll do it for us this month.

We're going to close out with a collaboration track between Block Party and Kenny Hoopla called Keep It Rolling. Talk to you in a few weeks for the Halloween episode. My name is Travis. And I'm Quentin. We'll see y'all. in a few weeks.
