Have it all with Bulu on Disney Plus. Welcome to No Filler. And I'm Travis. And on this month's, what you heard, we're kicking things off with a brand new song from Violet Grohl. This song is called 595. Now, there's an apple that didn't fall too far from the tree, huh? Yeah, man. Like I was saying, what was that documentary where...

Sound, I think it was City, Sound City Studios? Sound City. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it was that one. She was quite a bit younger, but VOLITU. Violet was just sitting there up against the control board with Dave, you know, in studio. So, I mean, like, of course this was inevitable. Oh, yeah.

Dude, her dad is rock royalty, man. Yeah. And I don't know, like, is this her first. I think this is her first, like, this is going to be her debut. Yeah, her debut. Yeah, her debut album. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So was that not Dave in the background?

Sure, sound. With the drums? The drums? No, not the drums. Like the 595. Oh, I didn't know. I tried to look it up, but it sure sounded like him. Yeah, I don't know.

Either way, dude, it's so perfect that you played this because I was hearing the first food record come through on some of that, the way those songs are structured and stuff. And we're covering that. And we're covering that. Yeah, we're coming that next. Yeah, we're coming that next. So perfect, man. And it's funny, I saw, I didn't listen to this.

I just saw the name pop up probably on like new releases. I was like, file a grow, wow, that's funny. I wonder if that's any relation, you know what I mean? Oh, it sure is, dude. Yeah. Yeah, she's dropped a few more singles in, you know, in anticipation of the following thing, which drops in 73 days, 38 minutes and 38 seconds, time. Okay.

May 29th. They're good. They're good, dude. And here's the thing, man. This is the first one that I've heard. I pressed play and I was like, nepotism, nepotism. Is this going to, you know, like, Is it going to be good?

Sure. Like, is it, like, am I approaching the song already thinking, like, already saying, oh, this is going to be great because it's, it's Dave's daughter? Yeah. But it is good. It's good. And it's got like an old school, old school 90s rock vibe grungy. I mean, I mean, that's, dude, that's what's coming back. You know, she's perfect timing for Dave Girl's daughter to start making music because, you know, the 90s.

The 90s is making a comeback. Absolutely. With the rock sound in indie music right now. Yeah, so I thought that would be a great way to start because we're covering Dave Girls. To Dave Girls. I mean, it basically is, dude. Dave Girls self-titled, right? Basically.

It's all him. Yeah, but we're covering the first few fighters release later this month. So it's actually going to be June, Q. It's going to be the first June episode. June. Oh, I'm sorry. April. That's going to be the April, the April drop, Q.

Oh, okay. My bad. I'm one mixed up. Because we just put out the blind melon episode. That's true. People peek behind that curtain here. So anyway. All right, Q, well, this is our what you heard episode, five songs each.

You know the drill. Everybody listening, this is our mixtape, our monthly mixtape, and you get to go first. What do you got for us, Q? Well, dude, you know what? Why don't we just keep the Foo train running? Okay. Because this, so, foo fighters, just dropped a new single back in February.

And I gotta confess here. Haven't been a fan of new food that I want. I was about to say the same thing. I haven't cared about new food fighters stuff in a decade. Let's see. That would have been 2016. Longer than a decade, dude. Haven't cared.

Right. But this one's heavy, dude. Okay. And here's the funny thing. I don't even know. Do they have other stuff? like this that's come out in the last decade? Don't know.

So here we go. You're going to love this, man. It feels like old foo. Okay, I'm locked in, dude. So this one's called Your Favorite Toy. Taking a little bit from early foo. Taking a little bit from like mid-foo. I feel like they're picking from all the different eras, you know?

Yeah. And, dude, a lot has happened in girls' life in the last, I don't know, five years. Isn't that the truth? Like, I can't remember how long it's been since that. whole scandal. That was within the last five years, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, with his wife. Taylor Hawkins dies.

Oh, man, when was that? Not that long ago. Right, right, okay. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Anyways, and I, when was the last time he was that grovely and like, you know, screaming? Yeah, totally. Yeah, a ton of, obviously a ton of distortion on the vocals and stuff. Right, but, but yeah.

Yes. Well, to your point, though, dude, I couldn't tell you. Maybe he does that on a heavy record because I don't listen to the new stuff, you know? Right. But, yeah, that was kind of a throwback to earlier a few. Yeah, I agree with that. I mean, even a little bit of the very first record. So we'll get all that in a couple of weeks.

Well, there you go, Q. You've dosed it up giving us a heavy dose of gruel. No more groles tonight, okay? Okay. No more grills. None of them. All right, man. What's you got for your first pick?

I got nothing but tasty James today, Q. I'm stoked. So we're going to start with another 90s track cue. This one from Mr. Frank Black of the Pixies. Nice. So I keep talking about how I've been buying CDs again. I bought a CD player and I've been really getting into CDs. the Gantacue. And I stumbled upon...

That's so funny to me, man. Tell you right now, the best decision I made in a long time. In a long time. So, I was fumbling through the soundtrack section at Josie Records in Plano, the smaller Josie Records, not the big one. I haven't been there yet because I need... I've got to have a lot of money before I walk into those doors, Q, because they probably have a massive CD collection.

Oh, yeah, dude, for sure. Anyway, so I found this record and I almost fell down because I was so stoked to grab it, dude. This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about, man. So I found this copy of this record called Songs in the Key of X, Music from and inspired by the X files. I said, yes, please. And when you look at track list, dude, it's like a fucking who, it's a who's who's of 90s. Okay, when did this come out? 97.

97. I'm sorry, 96. Yeah, you know what? I didn't even think about that, like being a huge plus to getting back into CDs because this is insane, dude. They're not going to find this anywhere else. No. Yeah, and look at this, dude.

You've actually got a Food Fighter song on here, funny enough. There's an R.E.M. song on here, or at least a Michael Stipe song on here. There is a meat puppet song. There's a Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper made a song together. Elvis Costello with Brian Eno. Elvis Costello and Brian. That's what I'm saying, dude. I was like, fuck yeah, I'm going to get this.

And anyway, really awesome song by Frank Black on here called Man of Steel that he wrote specifically for this record. And then he put it out on his own kind of like B-Sides compilation record called Oddballs did he put out in 2000. So it did, you know, make it onto his own release beyond just the X-Files compilation record. But anyway, it's a phenomenal song, dude. So here we go. Again, this is Frank Black, and this song is called Man of Steel. That sounded just like Jonathan Richmond to me. Who's that?

He's the guy that's in like every Farley Brothers movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He makes an appearance. He's like sitting up on a train playing guitar. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah.

The voice, the way, like, and the song, it's, I mean, it just sounded like a Jonathan Richmond song to me. I loved it. Yeah. Fantastic lyrics. I just love the idea of like, I mean, he wrote this four X-Files, right? I mean, or four of this compilation record, at least. Right.

He's talking about, you know, being under the stars and looking up and wondering if there's stairs that go there, like getting up to space. And he's like, I don't have any stairs. So I got me a reel and a kite. So he's like, just he's got a kite. He's trying to get up there to like space. You know what I mean? Yeah.

He's trying to, you know, connect with the stars and what's out there, the beyond, the great beyond, Q. The great beyond, Treve. I would love to get, pick up a ride, Q. Get up there right now, huh? Would you say, yeah? Fuck, yes, I would. Now it depends on what, what if there's no, what if they, what if they didn't give you any other, you know, inclination that they come in peace? Well, you still say yes?

Let's just put it this way, dude. If it looked like a Star Trek situation, you know what I'm saying? Start? Yeah, yeah, sure. You know, like if it's the, if it's the Federation coming down. Have you ever seen a movie called Fire in the Sky? Yes. Holy shit.

That's like the UFO. That is the, like, the scariest abduction. Yeah, dude. Oh, yeah. If they were doing that kind of shit, I'll stay here. I'll take my chances on Earth still. Yeah. I'm good.

Yeah. Because that scene was fucking terrifying. Yeah. Holy shit. Now, dude, apparently that was based on an actual person's description of being taken up on to a spaceship. Yep, I heard. Anyway.

Well, there you go, Q. Frank Black, man of steel. One of the best vocalists, rock vocalists of all time. I'll give him that grid. Such a great voice. Yeah, I mean, that's got all the hallmarks of a great pick season and Frank Black's song. All right, Q. I'll send it back to you.

What are you scrambling to pick here? Huh. It's tough, right? Yeah, because, yeah, I didn't listen to a lot of music this week. Or this month. Shit. Uh, huh, Trave. What are you going to do?

I could just bring five tracks, Kew. No, no, no. Like this, the shortest, what you heard. Oh, no, no, no, no. All right, you know what, dude? I'm going to try it. I'm going to try. I'm going to give it another world.

So we're going to go cold and some of this? Like a... No, no, no. So you've at least vetted this stuff. Yeah, yeah. Remember last time? I think it was last month's whatcha. You mean the one that we scrapped?

Yeah. Okay. You know, yeah. And, um... So you're going to bring him back a track that we scrapped. No, no, no. But I'm going to bring back a genre that... Led to our decision to scrap.

Songs from nuns? No. I'm sad that that's never going to see the light of day, Trave. It's just a bit. You know, there is an episode where that song makes sense to play it. It just wasn't that episode. It just wasn't that one. I think you sneak that in as like the odd one out kind of song.

But we had a bunch. It was just, it was an episode of odd, odd ones out, you know. Let me just say it here. For those who are curious, Sister Janet Mead, the Lord's Prayer. Nobody wants to hear it. The Lord's Prayer, 1983. Make sure it's the one from 1983. She's released multiple versions.

If it's not the one from 83, don't even. bother is what you're saying. If it's not the one from 83, it's still great, but it's not, let's say. And you're welcome, so. Okay. All right, Trevor, I'm going to bring a jazz song. All right, dude. And here's the deal. Perfect. I think I've mentioned K and KX a handful of times. It's sure. It's your place for jazz blues and NPR news, okay? Up here. Um, I like the ride. It's, it's my favorite, it's my favorite way to get my, get my MPR in. How to get

your rocks off. Yeah. And this song, was just kind of one of those filler songs in between segments, you know, that they do. Ezra Collective is the name of the group. Okay. This is just a good time, dude, all around. That's what I'm here for. Yeah, man, this is the kind of stuff that I look for in jazz. It's got almost like a hip-hop beat going.

Here we go. You're going to love this, dude. So this is just an A-B side. There's a single called Dark Side Rhythm, which is Side A. So here we go. And you're listening to K&KX? Dude. That's what I call.

A toe tap in good time, man. Yeah, man. That was fantastic. I kept expecting to hear Donald Fagan's voice come in. That sounded like it could have been like a steely Dan song, that bass line. Like a nightfly. Yeah, nightfly. Yeah, that was his record.

Yeah. Great track, man. That was fantastic. Phenomenal, dude. I had to get it, man. You know what I'm saying? Of course. I had to catch it.

I had to grab it. So many times I miss my window of time. That's one of the worst things that can happen in life, in my opinion. Dude. Is like you happen to catch a song in the last 10 seconds. Shazam's not fast enough. Yeah. That's great.

Anyways, dude. Ezra Collective, way more where that came from with this group. They've been doing this for a long time. At least a decade. So yeah. There you go, dude. Some jazz. It's been a while since we've.

since we've brought some jazz to this. I think I'm the only one that does it, I think. I think we bring stuff that's jazz adjacent. For sure. A lot. You could say that down tempo can be jazz. Very true. I'm sure this was blasting.

Not this song, because it came out in 2020. In our shops at Legacy Days, Tram. Sure. You know, this kind of jazz was all over the place at that. Yeah, yeah. At the shops. You know, at the shops. Yeah.

All right, dude. Let's do a 180, shall we? I mean, no, I'm not going to do a 180. I've got a song that's a pretty good fit, I think. There's some horns in this song. So, this is just another one of those, you know, I give credit to, give credit to Reddit, you know. Credit to Reddit. Credit to Reddit, Q.

I saw somebody post about this record on the vinyl subreddit. Never heard of it. Never heard of the artist before. But I have heard her music. I just didn't realize it. So I'm talking about Julie Cruz. She is very well known to fans of David Lynch's work. So her song, Falling, an instrumental version of that song, is the theme song for the series, Twin Peaks.

Yeah. And she's also appeared in the movie, the Twin Peaks, or a walk with me movie. Yeah, she appeared. I think she actually appeared. So it sounds like she appeared as a recurring role in the TV show as a roadhouse singer. So anyway, David Lynch used her all the time. And it's a, dude, when you listen to this music, it's a perfect fit.

It's very, like, kind of dreamy and kind of off-kilter and kind of weird-like feeling. Makes you feel easy. Which is what David Lynch's films do, right? Totally. So we're actually going to listen to a single. And yeah, it's just really interesting. Kind of off-putting, but in a good way. It's very, I don't know, dreamlike.

That's all I'm going to say. So, here you go. Again, this is Julie Cruz. This song is called Rockin' Back Inside My Heart. That was great. 1989. Yes. Have you heard anything else?

No. From that album? Oh, yeah. I listened to the whole record. The record's fantastic. Yeah. Dude, yeah. Is it all in that vein?

Yes. It's all very surreal kind of feeling. Yeah, like that saxophone sting that just came out of nowhere. Yeah, dude. What the fuck? But stuff like that happens throughout the record. So, I mean, it's a perfect match, man. I mean, no wonder.

And so apparently, so I haven't actually seen Twin Peaks. I've started it and never actually finished it. I never, I've never, not one second of me. You got to be in the right mindset for Lynch. For anything that he does. For anything Lynch, yeah. But anyway, so apparently she performed this song on the show on episode 14, apparently.

So there you go. Anyway, so that was Julie Cruz. I definitely recommend just queuing that record up. It is so interesting. So the record is called, if I didn't mention it, the name of the record is called Floating Into the Night, which is what you feel like when you listen to this music, too, just kind of floating.

And that's track one of the record is called Floating. Yeah, man, really interesting, really interesting album. All right. Q, back to you. No, it's time for our 180 for sure, right? I mean, we got to. If not, I've got one. I got one coming up, dude.

I think this is in the same vein, believe it or not. I don't believe it. I don't think I mentioned this on the pond yet, but I got a chance to see Geographer Live, who is one third, one fourth. I don't know how many there are, but I think there's mainly three animal collective members, right? Aveyter, Panda Bear, and Geology. just deacon was in there a while, whatever. And first off, his set blew me away, of course.

He was fucking, I'm not even going to bring a song from his new album. This is, I'm going to bring a song from the other band played. Because he was opening for this other group called Bichin Bajas. But I just have to say, dude, bitch and Bajas. They open for, they open for serial lap. No way. Yeah, dude. So you got to see them.

I caught the last song. We showed up just to hear. Isn't that funny, dude? Yeah, man. Because, no, me and so my buddy Nathan and I went. And so we caught Geographer's set. And then we stepped out until like the main. Because this is a venue in Olympia.

I can't remember the name of the venue. But that is like behind a restaurant slash bar. Like you go, you would not know that it was back there. But so we stepped out to just, you know, chat and just hang out in the restaurant area. And they were like, well, you want to go check out? Because we were there for a geographer, you know. And we're like, let's go see what bitch and bahas all about. And I'm pretty sure we got to last song, too, Jeff.

I remember a new album. It was, dude, yeah, it's a slow burn for sure. The whole album is, there's only four tracks on this album. It didn't fit what I expected from a band with the name bitching bahas. You know what I mean? dude, and that's why I was like, me, they can't be, you know? But man, I'm glad that I caught the tail end of it because it was, it was a really, really cool. But I have to, I have to mention Geographer's set here, dude.

It was, he played a freaking, what is it called, man? Did I mention to you what it was the night of, it was a freaking, it was one of those instruments where you crank it? It's got, it's, it's a hurdy-gurdy, tramp. Herdy-gurdy, there it is. Okay. I don't know if he was playing that hurdy-gurdy because he wanted to, or because there was something going on with the sound. Something had gone down with, you know, the sound engineering or whatever for the night.

Because I heard him talking to someone after the show and they were apologizing. And he's like, yeah, don't worry about it. It's like, I don't know if he, like, modified his set and what he played, what he decided to play because of that. But he was playing a hurdy-gurdy-gurdy, man. And I don't know. I've never seen someone play that before. It's like a medieval instrument.

I just think of hurdy-gurdy man. That song by Donovan. I just think of that man-man song. I think of that man-man, you don't believe in the hearty garden. That too, yeah. Anyways, blew me away. I got a chance to shake his hand

and tell him how important animal collective is to me and all that stuff. It was an awesome night, dude. So, anyways, bitch and bahas. I don't know really how to approach playing a clip because their songs are really like you've got to give it some time. But like their last track on this, so they dropped an album last year called Inland Sea. Last track on the album was 18 minutes, you know. So you can't listen to two and a half minutes of an 18 minute song and get a feel for where it goes, you know.

That's right. But I think I'm going to play the opening track because it, you know, it goes places pretty quick. So, yeah, here we go. This is bitch in Baja's. The song is called Skylarking. I think this is the most wind instruments we've had. I was thinking the same thing, dude. But yeah, it's funny.

You can see how they go from touring with Serial Lab last fall to touring with Geographer. Yeah, it's like, yeah, yeah, perfect. Totally. It goes, I mean, it's perfect for both of them. Yeah, yeah, really, yeah, that's what I remember about them is that it was just really, like hypnotic kind of like psychedelic trippy kind of stuff like that they kind of put you in a

very subdued but not in a bad way very much like the kind of the layer building type stuff yeah really cool um I guess flute I think flu was really the only thing besides like a legit or organ I think because all three of them are playing some sort of either an actual piano of some kind or an organ or a synth there's three

of them and they were all kind of like facing each other. Or like one was in the middle facing another guy. And then behind him was another guy facing both of them. It was a cool set of a tiny, tiny little venue, which is crazy because you saw them in like a pretty big one, right? No, I saw him at Granada. Small venue. That takes me back, dude.

No, but I'm talking like there was probably 50 people. Oh, Granada, it's a little bit bigger than that. But yeah, it was still a small venue, very small venue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but it was, like me and him, me and Nathan were up against the merch table watching them. Like, it was all just one tiny little space. Yeah, really fun. Yeah, really, really fun to see.

So again, this bitch and bahas, and that was skylarking. And, dude, don't you think that kind of went with the song? Yeah. You know, a little bit. Yeah. I could see that in a David Lynch movie or show. Maybe, yeah. All right, dude.

What's you got? All right, I'll switch it up for us here, Q. Did you know that Cave-In came out with a record in 2022? I think I did. Yes, I did know that. Apparently, we didn't put this on, we haven't featured this on the show yet, Q. Yeah, yeah. No, I did know that.

But this is a really, really good record. You know, it's funny, dude, I sent you a track from it, and you just weren't feeling it because you're a metal guy. Well, that's funny because, I mean, I shouldn't have done that, because there's lots of great metal on this record. Yeah, dude, I did. I remember seeing you when you're just like, me. It was blood spiller. Really? Because, well, because that's the song that I have starred on here, so I assume he was blood spiller.

That was one of the tracks I was going to bring tonight, but I'm switching to it, everyone. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mindset for it, Q, but. Well, let's just put this out there. As I was like, I want to make sure people know, because we're just throwing out the name cave in. But Antenna, their album from 2003, one of the, I'd say one of the more important albums of that decade for us. as far as staying power goes and like phenomenal record turned everything upside down for me as far as that.

This is you dipping your toe into heavier stuff. Yeah, which is funny because... You never waited any deeper than this. Because this is not heavy compared to other Kavan albums. No, no, no. Before and after Antenna. This record gets heavy though, man. Right, the new one?

The newish one? Yeah, yeah. Anyways. I was going to say, we did cover, we did a full length on antenna. So any Kevin fans out there that are listening to us for the first time today, we did do a deep dev on antenna. And I think it was one of our better episodes for sure. And I think we've covered a Mutoid Man.

I think we did a side track. This is a side project of the singer. And I think we did a side track. That's right. So, yeah, Kavan and the adjacent side projects and stuff have been. covered. And now we're about to cover another track. So actually two tracks. I'm going to play the last 30 seconds of the track that precedes this song because it blends in really well. Okay. So this record is called Heavy Pendulum. Came out in 2022 by K-Bin. So I'm going to play

the last 30 seconds. Very cool album art. Very cool album art. Space rock, right? That's kind of one of the things that they got. Yeah, right. Especially on antenna. Yeah, this album art is very space metal. Uh, heavy. Indeed. So, uh, I'm going to play the last 30 seconds of, uh, track five, which is like a little instrumental kind of filler song called Pendalambient, that kind of a blend of the word pendulum and ambient. Did you look at that? And then it's going to, it's going to play into track six, careless offering. So here we go.

That's great, dude. I love his voice, man. Love it. Yeah. And he's got a, um, I think it's the, the bass player. or maybe the second guitar player, he will scream on this record in a way that they didn't really do in antenna, which is why I think, like, when I listen to some of their other stuff, sometimes that's all, like, they kind of have two sides to them, I feel like.

And this album kind of blends the two sides of them because some of their stuff is just like straight up, like scream-o kind of stuff almost, you know. But yeah, man, this album, I think, is, to me, the closest they've sounded to antenna in a long time. Yeah.

Because there's that like just sonically. I've always loved how they sound sonically, man. For sure. And yeah, it's just great, man. Love it, dude. Great hearing new stuff from them. So again, this record was called Heavy Pendulum, came out in 2022 by Cave In.

Those two songs was the last 30 seconds of pendulum ambient, or pendulambient, and careless offering. All right, Q. Where do we go from here? All right, dude. I'll be honest with you, man. I only listened to a few seconds of this one, but I remember getting pretty, you know, pretty hot and bothered by it.

I think I remember it was a pitchfork review, and there's, you know, a lot of excitement around it because, so this is a, like a veteran 90s, ambient techno artist. His name's John Beltran. Oh, I've heard of him before, dude. Okay. So he also releases music under, I guess it's a project of his, called Placid

Angles. And he hasn't done anything as Placid Angles in a while. And this album just dropped this year and people are getting soaps excited about it. So they're getting bothered. They're getting bothered, dude, in a good way. So this is, the album's called Canada. It dropped in February. There is a singer listed here in the cred for this one. Her name's Sophia Estelle. So I just had to give her a shout-out. She appears on this one.

So this is track two off the record. Let's give it a listen together, try. Again, like, I'm kind of going in blind. This one's called I want what I want. Dude, you throw that classic trip-hop drum beat in any song, man. I was going to say. My ears perk up, dude. Yeah, man, that's the beat from like 90s, 90s techno. I think I could listen to that just on a loop forever. Just soundtrack of my life. I love that drum beat, man.

Yeah, man, that was great. I feel like this is the kind of song that would be played on The Bear, the TV show. Dude, lots of great, great music in that series. I could just see this song being played for sure. Yeah, it's funny, dude. My mind went to soundtrack, too. Like, pivotal moment, you know, in like a love scene or something.

Because that drumbeat, you know? Yeah. It's a little bit of energy. But yeah, that's great, man. Brand new track or brand new album, at least. Brand new album. It's awesome. Yeah, that might find its way on my best of it.

Maybe not that song. But, you know, I got to listen to the rest of it. Yeah, for sure. That's that. It was great. Yeah, really, really good. So John Beltran, um, his project Placid Angles. That was, I want what I want.

Triff. Another 180, son? It's got to be. That was such a unique song. How could you find something in that vein? It's kind of along the same lines. But dude, speechless when it comes to this song. Okay.

Okay. So, and we just talked about Brian Eno just a second ago, funny enough. So this is the Brian Eno track. And it's a album that he did with another, a German composer by the name J. Peter Schwalm. And this is one of those records, dude, that was lost in time for me because it's not on Spotify. And I was flipping through my CD binder because I still have that. And I had burned a copy of this record and haven't listened to it probably in years. And I think I burned this record just so I could have this song to listen to.

I mean, the rest of the record is interesting. But this song, all I can say, dude, is that this song will crawl into your, it'll crawl inside of you and tickle your brain, dude. Okay. So listen with good headphones if you're out there. So it is, I'm actually going to play, this is kind of similar to the K-Men thing. This is a two-part song. The first part is like a minute. Okay.

And then it kind of plays in it. We got to let it kind of play out a little bit, but you'll know. You'll know, dude. It's an incredible, incredible song. I feel like I'm hyping it up quite a bit here, but I stand by my hype, dude. All right, here we go. So this song, again, is by Brian Eno and J. Peter Schwalm. And this song is called Like Pictures.

Something they're seeing before your eye. Gills, dude. Yeah, dude. That's what I mean, dude, by tickle your brain, man. raised on the back. Because the way, dude, the way she said, I'm right behind you. No, dude. The way they mix that, like it does.

Holy shit. They mix that beautifully because it really does sound like she is talking in your ear. Dude, only Brian Eno, I think, could pull off that kind of stuff. You've got to be a master producer to get that, right. Chills. So apparently the vocalist, her name is Lori Anderson. an American avant-garde artist. So he's a musician, filmmaker,

just one of those all-around artists, I guess. And, yeah, dude. I mean, that, you're not prepared for it. And, like, the way that they build that up, and the lyrics are just haunting. I mean, you can actually say haunting, because that's what it is. But what a fucking song, man.

The rest of the record is interesting. It's interesting, for sure. It's all very experimental like that. mixes a lot of different kind of, you know, styles and world music and stuff like that and vocals and samples and all sorts of weird stuff. Yeah, it's funny. The YouTube, I had to pull this up on YouTube because, like I said, it's not on Spotify. The name of the channel is hard to find music channel. So there you go.

So again, that was Like Pictures by Brian Eno and Jay Peter Swam. All right, Qia. where do we go from that one? Shit, man, I don't know. Dude, there's so many songs where, because this is what you heard, right? A song I heard randomly somewhere, I throw it on the list. And since I didn't have a lot of time to prep for this one, dude, we're going to have to go in blind again. I mean, I've heard this song.

Don't remember anything about it. Not a thing, dude. But I'm less just going off the out. But you've heard it. But I'm saying I don't remember. at all. All right. Well, you guys,

you liked it at some point. It's going to be fun. Yeah. Yeah. It was added one week ago to the Whatcha Dump 26 playlist. I'm just going off the album art drive. I think it's going to go with, I think it's going to be in the same vibe.

I have no, dude. I have no idea. So this is a band called No Vacation. I think I've heard them before, dude. Okay. Maybe not. Twangy nostalgia. Oh, yeah.

Dade. dude. It's funny because you were, all right, you were at my house last weekend. And I was playing Oh, dude. A song. Did you shazam it? At my house. Did you shazam the song in my house? Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious, dude. I mean, we can play it. It's a great song, but I'm pretty sure we brought this to No Filler. That's so funny, dude. I was out, dude, I was out somewhere and I heard the song. You were in my house. It was in your house. That's funny, man. Well, you gotta play it now.

Why would I add it to my, why would I add that? I don't know, dude. That's funny. That's fine. Let's play it. Why not? It's a fucking great track. It's been a year since we played it on this show.

You know what, dude? It's on your, like, the playlist that you play when you got people over playing board games. That's right. This is my, um, my dinner party playlist. That's funny, dude. All right. So, yeah, here we go. This song is called Days by No Vacation.

I love the song, man. It is so. good. That's just one of those songs, do you know? Like, I don't know what it is about this style of music, but I feel like it's firmly planted in the early 2000, early, like 2010s-ish, right? But when did this come out? I mean, I'm just, I don't know. It's just one of those, you know, I will always, always, always love. It's an earworm, dude. I will always love this style of music. Yeah. Like the twangy kind of surfy, you know, like that all. little Tweed came about you know in the heyday of our

our old music blog you know back in the the chill wave movement all that like this stuff came around the same time yeah 2019 so this came out seven years ago it's funny the name of the song is called Days

because I'm reminded of real estate a little bit they had an album called Days but yeah it's kind of along the same lines right like that like you said surf a little surfy kind of you know twangy but like Tweed Right? Yeah, yeah.

Dream pop, for sure. I mean, that's kind of what this is. But yeah. The bass line, dude, and the chorus. I love that. And there's like three killer riffs in the song, man. Yeah. Just kind of spread throughout that chorus is killer.

That's just such an hour. I heard that in your freaking house, man. That is so funny. I know, dude. But I think, you know, it's funny. I think I shazammed this in Target, of all plays. Target was playing this. So it's the song that keeps on shazamming, dude.

Anybody who hears a song, you got a shazam it instantly. So, Tram, got any songs that you heard when you guys came and visited us back in August? I heard the same Tycho song like 50 times. Dude, yeah. I know, Ronan likes to play songs over and over and over. And over. But yeah, dude, how are we going to wrap this one up? I got a real banger cue to close us out.

I don't think anybody would describe this song as a banger, per se, but We're going to close with a Pink Floyd song cue, okay? Dude. That's a band that I've slept on. Me too, man. And I'm learning that every fucking day I learn it. So this album art, I see it all the time. Me too.

All the time, dude. So this is the album art for metal. It came out in 1971. And I said, fine. 71. This is two years before Dark Side of the Man. And this is what we... Like, why I haven't learned these lessons yet, I don't know.

I know, Travis. Because all I know when I think of Pink Floyd. I know, but all I know when I think of Pink Floyd is Darkside. That's what they... Same. That is what they... But I'm saying like it's Pink Floyd, dude. Why haven't we?

I don't know, dude. I don't have an answer for it. But... Come on. Anyway, this record's phenomenal. Of course it is. I saw a clip of them playing this particular record. So they are known for...

plenty of things obviously, but live at Pompeii is this concert that they filmed where they were actually inside the Roman amphitheater in Pompeii and they played to no one, but they just filmed themselves playing

in this ancient amphitheater. And I just saw a clip of them playing the last track on this record echoes and it was phenomenal. So I was like, of course, I'm going to listen to this now. and this is one of those records that you see on vinyl subredits and stuff all the time.

So we're going to listen to a song off of this record that it's just fucking fantastic, dude. So here we go, Pink Floyd. This song is called Fearless. Not a clue. I've heard the, you know, I've heard the guitar riff.

Didn't know as Pink Floyd. I mean, You know? There's probably plenty of people listening right now. It's like, duh, you fucking, yeah. Why would you? You call yourself a fucking, you have a music podcast and you never listen to metal. You said metal.

Well, metal. Metal. Yeah. I mean, this is their sixth record. Here's the deal. I got, you know, now it's like, well, I guess I got to go back and listen to everything they've put out. And here's the dark side, you know. Can I tell you about the deal?

Tell me about the deal, Q. Here it is. A lot of people... Here's... I'm waiting for the deal. I see now why some people don't think the Beatles are the best band of all time. Same with like... Sure.

Like, there's a lot of people go stones versus Beatles. You know, but I haven't even listened to this stuff from Pink Floyd. And this stuff came out in 71. But the Beatles are like done by then, but still. I mean, I know I've, yeah, I know I've, that is, that is the deal, dude. You know, I've peeped the tracks from like their first few records, but I've never really paid a, like, gave it a proper lesson. And Darkseide.

Everybody knows Dark Side, of course it is. And I've heard it the whole album. Yeah, here's the thing. I feel like so many people, Pink Floyd begins and ends with Dark Star of the Man. Yeah. A lot of people you can say the same thing about. So many records where it's like, you, you know, this whole point of this podcast. I know, dude.

You tune in to the, to the popular stuff. You know, everybody knows. Yeah. It's all you're going to hear when you listen to when you tune in to the radio stations to play classic rock. You're just going to hear this stuff ad nauseum. Yeah. I can't tell you how many times in my life, dude.

I've heard money. Money. I know, dude. Or breathe. I knew you were going to say money. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, so, or time, right?

The ones that everybody knows. So it's like, you know, and here's my question is, you know, the Beatles, they had very clear distinction between, you know, the beetle mania with the matching outfits and the haircuts and stuff. Right, right, right. And then when they made the pivot. I wonder if that's the same for Floyd where Darkside was the pivot, perhaps, because you listen to this. That sounds nothing like Darkside. Sure, but you, but there is that like, you know, found sounds. kind of thing where they put in that like chanting from a football stadium or something

back there. Sure. Where it's, you know, adding in random sound effects. That's all over the dark side of the moon. Random like clips of random shit. True. But like... Were they doing that before metal?

Who knows? Probably. But I'm just saying like, you know. But right. Was there a beetle, where is there a pink fluid mania type? Well, I bet you're just... I bet you if you go back to their first record, they probably sounded very... The piper at the gates of dawn.

Look at the album coverage, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know, but hey, we should just, I think we should just stop talking about it because how many people are just screaming and getting even just more and more upset the more that we're talking about this because we're just clueless. Of course, we're. But how many people have we just done the same thing, dude, where we just introduced them?

Were they like to them? Fuck me. Were there us, dude? We're like, shit. I've never listened to anything but Dark Side. Thanks. Right. No filler for turning me on.

But yeah, I would like to. as I do quite a bit. Pay credit to whatever gets pushed up to the Reddit, the vinyl subreddit because they've been the source of a lot of Beard Rex, you know. Indeed. So anyway. Yeah, thought that would be a good way to close us out. Awesome, yeah.

All right. So that was our mixtape for the month. That's how I like our what just did all over the map. That was all over the place. Although we had a lot, like I said, we had a lot of saxophones in there. You know, there was a pocket of very homogenous tunes there. But, yeah, I think we mixed it up quite a bit. And I think we teed us up perfectly for our next episode.

Dude, I'm stoked, man. This is a long time coming. I mean, one of our first 10 episodes, I think it was technically number four, episode four, but probably episode eight, because we numbered our episodes in a weird way. So we covered there's nothing left to lose with our older brother, Spencer. And, you know, food fighters have probably appeared here and there throughout. For sure.

We've talked about, obviously, we've talked about Dave Grohl probably a million times. Oh, yeah. And he shows up, I mean, we talk, I'm sure we talk about him quite a bit during our... Queens of the Stone Age. Queens, yeah. Yeah. Queens of Stone Age. Yeah.

Oh, by the way, Q, he wouldn't know this because you haven't listened to the Lion Mellon episode yet. But we were thinking that we do the Foo Fires record. So we're going to do the first record. And then we're going to do them crooked vultures after this too. Because that's Dave Grohl and Josh Homme with John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. So we're going to cover Never listen to that stuff, man. Oh man. It's exactly. Never listen to it. That sounds good, it's because I'll be coming in blind. Yeah. So we're going to cover their 2009. record, self-titled and only record by them cricket soldiers. So yeah, it's going to be a good time.

So, yeah, tune in for that. Yeah, I'm excited to get back on the mic with Mitch. Yes. Always a good time. That Blind Melon album was fantastic, man. Give that an episode to listen. Sweet. I'm talking to you, cute.

I'm talking to anybody else out there who hasn't listened to it yet. It was a nice and short episode. I think it was just under 45 minutes. So we covered five times. rocks. I mean, we were, we were rocket fire, dude, but it was great. All right. Well, as always, you can find us on Instagram. You can reach out to us on Instagram, I should say. Just search for no filler. Shoot us a message. And as I said, last episode, you know, we'll read it in a few months, you know, when we remember to log in. So, yeah, reach out to us. Say hi. Say other things.

Actually, there's another one that I know is great because I listened to a little bit of it. Okay. She's dropped, yeah, she's dropped three singles leading up to the new album dropping. This is another one from Violet Grohl to fade us out. This one is called Thume. I think it's all, all caps, T-H-U-M, thumb. Thumb without the B? I don't know.

Okay. Yeah, that'll do it for us. Next week, or no. Damn, dude. week. Remember when we used to drop episodes every week? I do remember that. For our next full length, we'll be covering the Food Fighter self-titled, as we're said. So thanks as always for listening. My name's Quentin.
