And I'm Travis. And on this month's what you heard, we're kicking things off with a brand new song from Snail Mail. This one's called Tractor Beam. Q. Please tell me that you heard Peaches by president to the United States. That man, I was trying to play a dude. You're talking about the guitar line? Yeah, the melody is basically peaches.

Okay, yeah. Which I was, I thought maybe it was a cover. Putting that aside, fantastic song. Yeah, fantastic. For sure. Feel good. Feel good tune. I mean, I sure hope that the future is looking bright.

I'm not seeing that right now when I'm looking at my front window. But I'm glad that she is. I mean, that's why music's such a blessing, right? Yeah, it's all we got right now, man. Yeah, dude. I was getting some Riloh-Kiley vibes a little bit, Ginny Lewis. Yeah. Really good.

Yeah, and you know what, dude, that's, that was probably for you too. I didn't, I haven't heard that. I didn't listen to that before. I saved this album because, you know, I'm just, you know, I'm building up my bank for the best of 2026 and, you know, I'm a fan of her stuff. So, you know, for this, first track on, on her new record, it just dropped in, at the end of March. It's called Rickache.

Okay. So the whole, so the whole record's out. Okay. All records out. Good, good times. Yeah. That might, that might show up at the end of the year. You know what's, dude.

Doesn't this album cover look just like? Chapter House. Chapter House? When it's down a cat crawled up, it's a freaking... It's a shell? It's a shell. It's a, not a seashell. What over the fucking snail shell?

Jesus. Snail mail, hello. Yeah, dude. Now we're connecting the dots. All right, dude. So, yeah, this is our monthly mixtape, as we like to call it. We're each bringing five songs to the table tonight. just songs we've heard in between recordings, dude.

Could have been on a freaking commercial. Could have been in Target, Trave. I know that's, you probably bring them on from Target, right? Targeet. No Target, no Target picks tonight. Any Shazams? No Shazams, too. What?

No, sir. Well, I think you're kicking us off this time around. So what you got? All right, Q. You may have seen this on the, on the Reddits and whatnot. This was making the rounds. and a bunch of music subredits. So you're familiar with the actress Christina Hendricks, right?

Oh, yeah, dude. She did that like four-hour DJ set. Yeah. And spun a bunch of shoegays and dream pop and stuff like that. So like, you know, the shoegays subreddit was like, you know. She's one of us. She's one of us. Yeah, exactly.

But no joke, man. She had a lot of good hits. A lot of great bands. You know, Beach House was. on there. Obviously, slow dive, stone roses. Oh, did someone post her set list or something? Yeah, somebody posted the site list. So I was

shuffling and just listening to her picks and I stumbled upon the, I stumbled upon. I didn't stumble upon it. It was on a playlist. She featured a song by this group called the Asteroid Number 4. And I, you know, being that I

am a fan of anything obscure in 90s that I can get interested in I went back and listened to like their first record. And this is one of those groups that, uh, it seems like, you know, there was some, some like Brit pop type revival almost kind of stuff, you know, the Tweed. But this is like a psychedelic Brit pop tweet kind of thing, more psychedelic than anything. Okay.

But I mean, look at that album art, dude. I mean, that looks like, that looks like you're on LSD. Oh man. This looks kind of familiar to me. All right, cool. I'm excited. So this record came out in 1998. Just for the record trial.

That's done. what it looks like when you're on LSD. Well, I wouldn't know you. Would you know? Yes. You've taken LSD before? Hang on a second. You didn't know that I've done LSD?

No, I didn't know that. Yes, many times. Many times? I have to. You don't I'm taking mushrooms? I mean, I figured that. I mean, it's not far removed from mushrooms. I don't even know.

Yeah, I don't know the difference between the two. It's different. I'll tell you that much. It is definitely different. Wow, dude. I thought you knew that, man. Well, so I guess it doesn't look like this. Sure doesn't.

That's what you're telling me. That's fine. So, either way, that's a great, great record. And I'm going to have to dive into everything these guys have done because they've been around since the 90s, and they're fantastic. So we've got to listen to a song off of, this is not the song that was on her DJ set. I just want to say that. Okay.

She actually brought, it looks like they put out a new record a couple of years back. She brought a song from 2024 off of their album, several shapes of solar flares. But we're going back to their first record, or at least their 1998 record. I don't know if it's their first one or not. But this song is called What a Sorry Way to Go. Again, by the Asteroid number four.

Big shout out to Christina Hendrix, dude. Big shouts, Dan, big shots. That was awesome. Loved it. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Yeah, and come on now, 1998. Come on, indeed. How many times you have to say it?

Yeah, man. I mean, like, it's really, really, really, really good, right? So, anyway. The mix on that was cool, dude. That was tripping me out at the beginning. Yeah, yes. Very psychedelic. I mean, pass the mushrooms, right, Q?

Just past the bag. Yeah, however you do. Do you smoke mushrooms? You eat it, right? Hey, man, I'm fucking, you know, I'm, you know, I'm, I'm, uh, what do they call? Straight edge. I'm a straight edge, dude.

Well, no, dude. Hey, a straight edge person would even consume caffeine. Okay, so you're not a straight edge. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not Mormon, you know? Well, I'm just saying you're not a straight edge. Um, no, you don't smoke mushrooms, John. You get it down however the hell you can. So that it's gross.

Best way to go is grind it up and put it in some, uh, put it in some orange juice with heavy pulp, dude. You won't be able to tell you drinking it. Why don't you just, just, why don't you just eat it? It's a mushroom. saute it up, you know? It's not pleasant. It's not a pleasant experience. Also, you don't want to saute it up, dude.

I don't want to do that. I love sauteed mushrooms, dude. Anyway, so that's the asteroid number four. That song was called, What a Sorry Way to Go. Yeah, this record introducing, yeah, it'll take you places, dude, for sure. Like, there's a bunch of, like, sampled sounds and stuff like that. Nice. Really, really cool stuff.

Who needs drugs, man? You don't need it. You don't need it. Yeah. So if you scroll down and if you're on the Asteroor number four, you know, artist page on Spotify, and you scroll down and you look at Discovered On, it's nothing but every person who rushed to make Christina Hendrick's set list playlist. So yeah, she just, she just. Damn, dude.

That's a testament to her set list, dude. She just did them a solid, man. I mean, for sure. Wow. Yeah, that's saying something, dude. Yeah. So anyway, go check out find. find any number of playlist or go find a YouTube video if you can find it like for actually doing

the set. That'd probably be better because you can actually hear how she mixed everything in and stuff like that. But yeah, anyway, shout out to Christina Hendrix, man. Who knew? Who knew she was one of us, Q? You just never know, man. You just never know. All right. I'm going to throw it back to you, Q. What's your first pick? All right, dude, I think I got a good one to follow up that one. this name might sound familiar to you because we covered a band that she used to be in alongside Emma Anderson Hmm

Okay Yes I know she put out of record last year right Mickey Barini yeah she did She put out of record last year So this was the other vocalist and Guitar player in Lush And yeah it's just You know it's just one of the

The OG Chewagers of the time. Emphasis on the Dream Pop, right? Yeah, I mean, she's just been doing that all these years. And she has a group that she's formed called the Mickey Barini Trio. And this is, they dropped an album, yeah, last April, so about a year, about truly a year ago at this point, called Tripla. And we're going to play track four, dude. So here we go. This one's called Gango. phenomenal man can we go back and record one of our best ofs please i know how do we miss this i and i remember it being on my radar too maybe that maybe the single just didn't speak to me and so i just kind of

slept on it or something yeah i kind of felt that way about a lot of that's the song's amazing i know dude i know it's such an awesome track that baseline dude killer baseline yeah the walking like the whole time. I mean, yeah. Phenomenal. Really, really good. So, yeah, dude. Hey, man, we came out of the gate hot tonight, dude.

Where do we go from here? Okay. How's it back, brother? What's you got? All right. Do I, you know, maybe I should save. That way we can spread out the good stuff here. Spread out the goods.

Let me switch it up here for us here. All right. This is not going to come up as a surprise anyone who listens to the show on the regular. I'm a massive fan of the band Hum, right? That's true. And I'm seeing, I just wanted to remind you, I'm seeing them in Chapter House in May. So, you know, dude, I forgot. I forgot about that.

Yeah. So anyway, I just stumbled upon this playlist that somebody made. And the name of the playlist is, hey, this sounds kind of like Hum. I love it, dude. I love it. Yeah. And, I mean, yeah, there's some great. stuff on here that sounds like home.

So I'm going to bring a song from a band featured on this playlist. Now, they're 90s band, dude. Where have they all been? I'm just trying to... Where have you been? I guess is the real question. Yeah, that's, they've been there the whole time. So anyway, this song is from a band called Poster Children.

This album came out in 93. Quentin. Well, we were six, so that's where we. We were young. 93. So here we go. Again, this band is called Poster Children. This is off their 1993 record, Tool of the Man.

This song is called In My Way. Fantastic, dude. Am I way off or were you getting some like Mark Mukahee vibes? Mark Mulcahy? I guess his like lyrical timing and delivery kind of reminded me of Mark Mulcahy. I can see that maybe. Yeah, I could see that. but there's also a

there's another member of the band the bass player she also sings so there's a there's vocalists that trade off so they have a lot of they have a very interesting kind of there's quite a range on their records but I mean no wonder they sound like hum they're actually from the same city

they're from Champaign Illinois so no wonder it must have been something in the water huh I'm sorry you you put that S in the end of Illinois huh I sure do Q Is that a thing? People do?

I don't know, dude, I don't know. I guess I'll find out. I'm going to be in Chicago and May. That's where I'm seeing home. So I'll, I'll ask one of the locals. You know why, dude? It's probably because you're thinking of that Sue Fran Stevens album. I sure I'm not.

Well, anyway, cute, we know that we mispronounced things on the show. It's not that new. That one took me. That took me back, dude. That's okay. Why would I disappoint our listeners by saying something correctly? You know what I mean? It's just, you know, it just caught me off guard.

Right. Well, that was great, dude. Yeah, I loved it. I mean, of course it is. 93, poster children, a song is called In My Way. All right, cute, what do we do from here? Where are we going? All right, dude, I think we're going to want idiot tonight right now. Here comes. You got to. Here comes. Okay, so this one came on my radar through pitchfork. This track was just dropped yesterday, and it was, you know, rising, track or whatever, high praise from the pitchfork reviewer, whoever it was. I don't know anything about this artist. She goes by Kalela. It's like a R&B pop artist. And man, this song's phenomenal, dude. It's got like some shoegaze guitar in it a little bit. Okay. Just kind of, you know, a really, and if we've said this before many times, you can, you can pair shoegaze with

anything. That's right. And yeah, it's, it pairs really well with her music here. So, and I love the song name. It's just called Idea One. So I guess she just whatever name she had it saved in her computer when she was playing around with it, you know, she just stuck with it. So here's idea one. This is the, the old demo tape.

This is the old demo, dude. Idea 1. Here we go. That's not an idea. That's reality. That's great, man. I mean, really good. We're bringing bangers tonight. Dude, yeah. That came out yesterday, huh?

Yesterday. As of the recording of this, at least. Yep. April 8th. Wow. She kind of reminded me of, like, her vocals reminded me of like a mix-up between like Japanese breakfast and Imagine Dragons. Not Imagine Dragons.

I'm sorry. Oh, dude. Little Dragon. Little Dragon. Yeah. Little Dragon. Yeah, dude. Yeah.

And dude, I loved, because that guitar just by itself. Really hit you. But then when that like synth bed came in underneath it. Yeah, yeah. Kind of caught me off guard. I didn't know what kind of song was going to be. Right. And yeah, it kept making turns.

Right, right, right. Because in that guitar, the shoegade guitar came in, the fuzz guitar came in. Yeah. Really interesting. I'm just going back to, you know, the name, idea one. It just, I don't know, like, it's kind of blows me away to even try to wrap my head around. Like, when do you decide that a song is done? And it's, and you're ready to share it with the world.

You know what I mean? Like, how do you finalize a mix? Because this sounded phenomenal, dude, in my headphones. But you can kind of see how it's like, I don't know. I've no clue what she sounds like. I wonder if this is a sidestep from how she usually sounds because maybe that's why it's just like, let me just throw this out there. Something different, yeah.

But yeah, what a great song. I feel like that the way the synth bed came in kind of reminded me of like everything in its right place. You know that like starting. Oh, yeah. That song, right? Yeah, yeah. Or it's just like kind of like this very soft kind of like dull synth tone.

But yeah, really good, man. Damn. Yeah. Really good. I can't wait to hear her next idea, you know. I want to hear idea too. Yeah, let's hear it. All right, man.

Where do we go from here? You're going to keep us in this pocket a little bit here. So, Q as you know, I just became the proud owner of all four of the Pyramudes. CDs in the collection. I do know that, which I didn't think would happen so quickly. But I found Piermoods 2 through 4 at Josie Records

for, I think they were like a bug each, dude. And then I found the one that I didn't think I'd find the pyramids, the first one, the one that everybody remembers the infomercial for. I'm at half price books the other day. So anyway, I've been listening to those records recently, obviously.

And it's introduced me to a lot of new groups, man. I didn't realize that this record, or this compilation series, I should say, had a lot of, like, downtempo and trip hop stuff on it. And there's a massive attack song on one of them. You know, there's like the Dream Academy song from Ferris Bueller. Actually, I, I, and when we kiss, good night. Not that one. Actually, that would have been cool. It's the one.

Life in a northern town? Life in a northern town. Yeah, that one's in there. Just stuff like that. Just anyway. More eclectic than I thought. But anyway, one of the groups featured on, I don't remember which one I was, but it's this group called Mono. I had never heard this group before.

And this record is amazing. So this, sticking in the 90s, dude. This record came out, 1997. It's called Formica Blues. And again, this group is called Mono. It's a duo, I believe. influenced by cool jazz 60s pop and classic film soundtracks this trip hop duo

formed around vocalist Siaban de Mare and producer Martin Virgo What kind of jazz are we talking to? Cool jazz, cool jazz. Now we're talking like cool jazz. Quiet storm? You know what I'm saying? No.

No shot eight, okay. No shot eight lives. You'll see. You'll see, you're going to love it. So there you go. The song is, called Playboys. It's unreal.

Yeah, yeah. It was, I mean, it was, you know, I hate to just sound like somebody who's just kind of reminiscing in the decade that they grew up in. But like, when you look at entertainment as a whole in the 90s, you know, it's pretty, pretty unmatched, you know. 80s and the 90s back to back, like that was the peak, I feel like of entertainment, man. And you're throwing music under that umbrella. Of course. And yeah, the dance, dance music. I mean, it changed completely in the 90s.

Yeah. I mean, tripop was huge, man. Yeah, dude, didn't we, like, I think we kind of did like an origin story of down tempo on one of our, it was probably the Tosca episode where like, what was it? Like, they had to start separating in like the UK or something and they had to start, they had to create like a different area in the dance clubs where you had to, like, if you were. too rowdy. I don't know. Like, they had to split it up to where it would be more mellow down, like, down tempo music that was more chill, where you could go and just chill out if you're too rowdy on the dance floor. I'd make, dude, I don't remember any of that. That's like, that's how it came to be where they started splitting up the dance clubs and had, they would have

a designated area with just more chill music and they'd start, you know, DJs who start like sampling in jazz, old jazz records and, you know, throw up a, beat on top of it and stuff like that. That's, I think, like, what the, like, the origin of, like, lounge music. You know, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, you know, with, like, with, with, um, with down tempo, like, it was a lot of, like, dub influence. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Between, you know, we did that, like, month straight of down tempo stuff. Remember we did Tosca, we did Thevery Corporation? And then we did, like, a grab bag one at the end there. We did Underworld, too, remember? That was one of my favorite episodes, man. So go back and listen to that. You'll have to scroll back quite a bit. I would just search wherever you're listening to podcast.

That was a good run. Yeah. And you know what's funny to do? That was probably like six years ago now. Five years ago. That's crazy. All right. Let's find out.

If I search no filler underworld, this episode came out in 2021. So four and a half. Yeah. Four and a half. Let's just round up. We'll round up to five. It was August of 2021. So that's wild.

But anyway. All right, Q. Well, that's great, dude. I got some Star Seeds vibes. Yes, this is what Star Seeds was probably influenced by. You know what I mean? Like Star Seeds is probably trying to be mono. But, yeah, the whole record, that's actually like a kind of a chill song. I mean, the whole thing is chill.

That's kind of the whole vibe. But there's a lot, phenomenal stuff on this record, man. So again, 1997, former Caboos, group is called Mono. And we're bringing the goods tonight, dude. So, yeah, our buddy Mitch, everyone knows Mitch now. shit, even before he was on the show proper. Yeah, we name dropped him all the time. If you've been listening long enough, yeah, you know Mitch.

Well, we have a thread going, of course, where we share music and, you know, goofabouts all the time. And he dropped this freaking, I mean, just lovely song, dude. I mean, I don't know. I mean, just, I fucking love it, dude. And I've never heard anything like it. Band called Massive Hassel. And, yeah, Trave, I know you're a big fan of it, too, so let's play it, man. from an album of theirs called Unreal Damage that came out in 2024.

And here you go, this song is called Right Time. It's never the wrong time when that song's playing. I always appreciate that you try to do that, Triff. I know, I try. You're good at it, man. You've been doing it since day one of this pod. I mean, I didn't think that one was very creative, but I appreciate it. But that's what makes it great, Tram.

Yeah, I guess it's not funny at all. Really great. So I think these are a couple of brothers. That's what we are based on their last names being the same. And some of these album covers have clearly they miss kids on it. Love the lyrics, too. I think what makes it stand out to me is their vocals and their harmonies. Yeah.

Yeah. It's just something. Yeah. I love the lyrics too. I think he said something like, all my drinking buddies are getting younger and younger and younger. Yeah. I mean, that kind of comes with the territory, dude. But yeah, that guitar riff, man

Oh, yeah, dude It's just such a so smooth Smooth as butter The vocals are, yeah, very interesting because they're harmonizing, but they both have this interesting, like, deep kind of delivery, which is really interesting. Yeah.

But I guess they also hit the high note in the chorus, you know, they're very, yeah, the harmony, really interesting harmonies, you know, just like it's a throwback sound for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything about them. I mean, they look at the album cover is made to look like it's an old record sleeve, you know, where you can see the outline of the record in it, you know.

They look like they were, you know, session musicians on like the early Steely Dan record or something. Yeah. Yeah. Like skunk Baxter and shit. Yeah. But anyway. Yeah, awesome song, man. What am I going to do from here?

Yeah, dude. Where are we going? Where are we going? What am I going to do from here? I got stuff I could do that's just going to, I don't know, man. It might just like derail the vibe? It might derail, but let's just do it. Okay, well, I'll help you out with that.

And I'll do that as well with my next one because I got a fun one, dude. I'm going to do it. We talked about, I don't know if this was ever recorded, but I thought it'd be interesting to do a like a new metal grab bag episode because, I mean, one more or any of the same got to have Mitch on the pond for that one dude yes but I don't know if that's going to happen to so is that I don't know because I think we got a lot of other good ideas okay yeah we've got a we've got a bunch of episodes ideas lined up so I think I'm just going to sneak one in here and see what happens this is a group called mud vein and um they're just your

classic new metal group from that era you know they all wore like makeup and like had masks and stuff like that and just kind of was like a slip-knott kind of a situation. But I like some of their melodies and their grooves and some of the vocal

qualities and stuff like that. You've got to be in the right mindset for this kind of stuff. This is not going to scare you too much, Q. Okay. Okay. This is actually one of their more tame songs. So this is from their record

LD-50, came on 2000, and this song is called Negative 1. Did I kill the vibe, Q? I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I'm shocked.

I'm shocked right now, Q. Well, okay, now can I ask, now, is this, is this 90s? I don't know. Well, this came out in 2000. Okay. I mean, new metal was out, dude. I mean, Korn was out doing it doing their thing. Well, I was going to say, I don't know, I don't know anything about, okay, what was

the mudvain's massive hits? Digg is their one big hit. I have no idea. It's called Digg. Actually, I guess they have a song that's more. more popular than that, but dig is the one that I remember. Okay. Well, I mean, corn vibes, right, with his vocals?

Yes, yes. I mean, I feel like they're doing like a corn with a tool. They're trying to be like... System of a down? At least with his... With the harmonies, maybe. Now we're just throwing out all the new metal. I mean, yeah, you know, tools obviously in their kind of in their own world, but just in terms

of like the very melodic, very pretty vocals. And then obviously that's what makes it interesting. Well, paired with those lyrics, dude. Is there a lot of self-hate in new metal, man? He was just... Of course. Yeah, dude. Really?

That's why so many teenagers, I mean, just fucking flocked to it, man. I guess that was... Angsty teenagers. Yeah. ...the whole thing, dude. Just like suffocating. Yeah, exactly. What was that?

But yeah, I mean, you look at these lyrics. I don't even remember who that is, yeah. But if you look at the lyrics, I mean, they're... I'm a fucking loser. Loser. Yeah, this and that. Blah, blah, blah. Don't feel sorry for me.

Hey, I really appreciate whoever put these lyrics together, man, because they did a good job. They put the emphasis on the O and the W in that now. So that you knew it was, yeah. Excuse me. All right, Q, well, where do we go from here? I mean, I feel like we got another 180 coming our way. You're not going to believe this, dude. I think this goes with it.

You're bringing a metal song. I don't believe you for a second. It's kind of a screamo. Here's the thing, dude. This just happened in the past where you're like, I've got a metal song. bro. And then I listened to it and it's like this ain't this ain't nothing. No, I didn't say metal. Okay. I said you know, emo, you know, hardcore. There's definitely, yeah,

I'll give you that. There's definitely some emo leaning lyrics and some new metal tracks for sure. Well, so here's the thing about this one, dude. It's called Petsmart. It's called Pets smart. Hey, dude, just jumped again. Sorry. That's just funny. I think people who, I think people who listen to this pod know that you really aren't a fan of comedy. Nope. And music. No, I'm not. You can't stand it. Except you did really like Bo Burnham's inside. Yeah, but that's because, I mean, there's so much more to that documentary than the songs, you know what I mean? It's not a documentary. It is. Well,

you're right, you're right. But yeah, it's very, yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of, you just sort of just the, just the music itself, you don't even have to. The music itself, I'm just saying like the overall message that he's making was phenomenal for the time that it came out. Indeed. And he's a really, he's incredibly smart. Yeah. And there's very, didn't he just turn 30 or something like that?

It was just very self-reflected. Yeah, it was just, it was really amazing. Well, I think you're going to enjoy this one, Trevor. All right. So this is a comedy act. Okay. This isn't, this, this isn't your, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

we're doing comedy, right? Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. And he does, you know, he does all kinds of different genres. This one just happens to be a really good, like, hardcore rock bones. The bones are hardcore rock. And the song is about the PetSmart name.

You'll get it. Oh, God. You're right. Yeah, it's, I fucking love it, dude. I think you're going to like it. I think you're going to like it. Wait a minute. Now, Quinn, it's called PetSmart.

And it's about the PetSmart name. It's about PetSmart, Trump. That is so clever. All right. I'm going to, I'll keep it up in mind, dude. Yeah. All right. Here we go. A question. Smart? Or pets? Marks?

Are you saying that pets are smart? Or are you saying... So, I'd say he's doing more of a chat pile nod. Okay. Okay. I don't fucking know, dude. This is my will house. You do know chat pile because I've forced you to listen to them a few times. That's the... I think that's, yeah, that's the word forced. It's funny. But just like, you know, how you use... like to say that you'll never, ever, ever listen to most of the metal track.

Like, I'm never going to listen to this ever. Why would you choose? I mean, this is one of those things where, like, I would watch a Instagram reel or something like that. If him, of him doing a video, I'm like that. And that's where I saw it, dude. Yeah. Yeah.

But I think it's weird that people would choose to listen to this without approaching it from like, I'm watching a comedy video. You know what I mean? And you know what, dude? Here's the thing. he probably has, he probably just puts this up on Spotify to get it on other. Of course. Yeah, sure.

But I mean, there's, dude. But you think about it like, there's plenty of, I mean, fly to the concords have records that people listen to. Yeah. Whoever the fuck else. Tenacious D. Oh, that's different now. They might be giants.

D's different, Q. Can't compare it to. Where'd all you ink of it? Of course, there's exceptions to the rule in terms of like people who have transcended, Q. Now, that was something we talked about with Mitch doing a Tenacious D episode. That'd be amazing. Fuck.

We got to do that, dude. That would be so fun. We got to do that. I appreciate it. I think it's clever. I've wondered that as well. I guess that's what makes it such a great name for a company. But obviously, it's PetSmart, possessive, dude.

Well, I don't think I would have brought it if you didn't play that Muntfan track. So, Quinn, you used to work at PetSmart. I did. Did you learn? Did they tell you? No, dude. And if they did, that was fucking... How long ago?

You were definitely on mushrooms back then. Heck yeah. No, I wasn't taking mushrooms when I was in high school. You kidding me? I don't fucking know what you were up to. No, dude. We lived under the same roof, brother. Yeah, that's true. At that time. No, dude. But like, they didn't say like, here's a history of the company. If they did, like I said, dude, let's just figure this out. I mean, that would have been, what? 20 years ago. That was like 20 years ago. Yes. So I don't remember. All right. Well, I guess we'll never have answers. I was smoking a lot of pot while working at PetSmart, dude. Looking back on it, dude, it should have been.

It must have been so obvious, dude, so obvious. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? We thought that we were clever and sneaky about it. I was like I was saying, Alan? Oh, the manager? No, no, that guy, Alan. He was high off as Gord 24-7, dude.

All the time. And, dude, I worked with Jordan, too. The whole gang, dude. Oh, did you? They both worked at PetSmart with me. That's right. Jordan Pipsqueak is what I used to call it. You love those guys, didn't you?

Not, yeah, not your scene. Anyways, now I think it's time for 180. Yeah. Of course it is. Yeah. So this is my last pick. And I'm going to take us back to Trip Hop. Actually, man, what are I?

This is top of this stuff. Because I didn't plan on playing the Mudvane song. I don't know what got into me where I decided to play it. And that's the fun of what you heard. Yeah. I wanted to give us at least one solid 180. I think I'm going to close this with, not close us, because you're actually the closer. I got a doozy for the closer, man.

It's just a scream and scream. All right. I'm going to stick with my original pick. So, you know, here we go. Another 1990s record, Q, 1995. This is a musician that goes by the name Tricky, and he is part of massive attack. and he put out his own stuff. Oh.

You may know him from the movie, The Fifth Element. He is in the Fifth Element, just as an act. Is he? Anyway, so, yeah, I mean, this is just one of those classic trip-hop records. Maxin Quay, I'm probably mispronounce that. This particular song features a female vocalist named Martina Topley Bird. Oh, oh, hey, hey, oh, hang on, dude. Hang on.

I'm hanging. Do you remember that PlayStation, I think it was PlayStation 3 or Xbox game, something profits. Indigo Prophecy? Uh-huh. Yes. There's a Martinezopoli Bird song on that. I fucking loved that song. First of all, I had no clue you even knew what that game was, dude.

That was something I played. Yeah, I played it. You played it too? Yeah. Yeah. It was in one of the scenes where I love that game. It was like you were in like, you were like checking out someone's apartment or something. Oh, man. Man, sandpaper kisses. Yeah. So this is a tangent, dude. What a phenomenal game, first of all.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, right, right, right. Didn't it rent a bunch of rewards? Yeah, I mean, there was a, it was kind of like a choose your own adventure type game, I guess. Yes, yes. Anyway, sorry, man, how do you forget a name like Martina Topley bird, so? Yeah, the name was also, it was called Fahrenheit, I think, and some of the releases. But, yeah, the game that I got was, it was called Indigo Prophecy. Hey, let's outro out with that sandpaper kisses song. Oh man, I would love to do that, yeah, dude. Because it's going to ring a bell, dude, when you hear it. Anyway, so she's featured on this record, almost on every track.

So here we go. This is a song by Tricky with Martina Topley Bird featured on the vocals. And this song is called Black Steel. Switch on, switch on, switch on, switch on. Dude, that wasn't, I wasn't getting any trip hop out of that. Well, yeah, that's what I like about that song, like that guitar. So is that one different than the rest of the album? Yeah, definitely.

But that, like, rhythm guitar that came out of nowhere, it just turned, it suddenly turned into like a rock song, you know? But I like the spoken word, the story that they're telling. Just really cool, man. I mean, what a, you know, trip hop, there's just, it's just effortlessly cool, man. And I think we've said that before about like down tempo and tripob. It just oozes cool, you know. Yeah.

Well, I'm excited to bring that other track from her as our outro because it, yeah, I'm talking about cool, dude. Just wait until you hear. The Fahrenheit, like the Indigo Prophecy soundtrack is. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it featured us like, I mean, that's not even like that song was made for the game. Like I think, didn't you have like a radio? I think you were in.

Yes, you turn on a radio and it's playing it. I think it was like Angelo Bata Lamenti or something like that was the composer, which he's, you know, when video games are starting to get like legit composers and stuff to make, because he did Twin Peaks, you know. So anyway. All right. Your turn, Q. You're bringing us home.

What do you got? All right, man. So this was an album I almost brought a song from it on our best of from last year. This group is called Great Grandpa. Never heard of them until I'd listen to this album. This, to me, this band reminds me of freelance whales, which I'm sure I've brought them up on this pot before. Yeah, I think you've played at least one song for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I proposed to Sarah on the stage at one of their shows. We discovered them together. Blah, blah, blah. But anyways, always have a soft spot for that, like, folk poppy banjo kind of, I don't know how to describe freelance rails, you, but this band reminds me of them. So anyways, this, yeah, this album came out. It's called Patience Moonbeam came out in March of last year. So here we go, dude. I think you'll like this.

This song is called Emma. I was going to mess with the cue and be like, I hated it, just to just to, just to screw with you. But now it was really good, man, really good. Well, no one knows that we took out that song. Quentin played a song that I just didn't, I was flabbergasted that you brought such a song. I won't give the name of the band that you just, you hated. Yeah, I put the cabas. It was a band that I, that I was into back on our nudist days in the early, early 20-tintz, right before.

Music blog that we ran for a little bit, for people. Yeah, sorry. You don't know. Sorry. Yeah, for those you don't know. Yeah, this, let me tell you what this reminded me of Q, the vocals. freelance Wales, man. Let me tell you, no.

May. Oh, hey now. That's the one, dude. That's the one. That's the one, dude. Yeah, that's the one, dude. For sure. Yeah.

Early May. I mean, they only May that we know. Destination Beautiful. Destination Beautiful. Which I have assigned, you remember from the show? I had them sign it. What? I had them sign the liner notes.

Dude, I still have that CD. Are you kidding? And now I can listen to it. Yeah, because we went and met them. at the mooch at the merch at the merch booth and now was it did they open for good charlotte am i wrong i've never seen good charlotte dude i know because we left oh that i'm fairly sure i don't know i'm fairly certain that they good charlotte i forgot about them yeah they opened for good charlotte and like we oh my god i remember we left and like they were outside and we like talked with them for a little bit

i do remember that and yeah anyway no wait So I thought Maxine opened for May. Remember Maxine? It could have been Maxine May in Good Charlotte. But yeah, dude, Maxine was great. They were like, they had like some police vibes. Yeah, I think they were trying to do, I mean, yeah, Roxanne. They had a song that sounded like, I mean, Maxine, Roxanne, that might have been a little bit lobbyist what they were doing.

Yeah, man, that's what I heard. Like vocally, he sounded a lot like May. Musically not so much, but like his vocals big time. Do you remember the guy's name the May, the lead singer? I don't. Let me look it up here just to shout it out properly. Maybe you should do it. Dave Elkins?

Dave Elkins. That was a good episode too, man. We did, we did Bay. We gave it there the proper. I think my favorite stretch of this podcast, dude, we were doing our back-to-school episodes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, back to school. Dude, Maxine would have been a good sidetrack if we were still doing side tracks back then. We should have covered Maxine, man.

Anyway, yeah, we're going to have to revisit that, dude. We're going to have to do that album, I think. that Maxine's self-titled from 2003, dude. Yeah, I forgot about how good. I mean, you want to talk about like, dude, we could do another grab bag where it's like, would it be interesting to do an episode on bands that we saw open? That we saw open. Because then we could do, we could do this microwave world, remember them?

Yeah, for the open for spoon. Clientel open for spoon. The like. The like. Yeah, we could do it. Maxine. We could do the like, Maxine. The features.

Yeah, yeah. Dude, let's do it, man And let's do it with Mitch Because you know what? Mitch will say Pretty much all those shows with us Yeah Dude,

What was, You remember the band that open for I mean, Phantom Planet fucking open for Flick or stick? Yeah, I know And Sparkle Horse was the other band That's what I was trying to think of.

Yeah, yeah Didn't they have a song called like Ruby something Ruby, yeah That was an interesting Maybe it was a Ruby Horse Maybe Ruby Horse was in the demand I don't know Yes

No, no, Sparkle Horse, yep I remember that song man It was, uh, 2004. Man, we saw some great fucking music in our high school years, dude. I would have to, I would have to spend a lot of time trying to go back and find, like, because, you know, you can find all that stuff on like set list FM, like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, like, you know, I saw, I saw, I, I saw, um, what they called,

Juliet Lewis's band. Who? Ginny Lewis. Ginny Lewis's band. Rilohkely. You saw Rialo Kylie? Yeah, I saw Rilow Kylie, and I don't remember who opened for it. Yeah, I saw him when I was in that band.

I saw him with Grass Fight. Nice. Yeah, I've just seen so many bands, dude, that to think about, took a bag of trying to remember who the openers were. Yeah. But, like, for example, who opened for Foles? When we saw Foles. Who knows?

No clue. But it could have been a great band. Who opened for Animal Collective when we saw Animal Collective? You never saw Animal Collective. Yeah, I did. You and I saw him for the Maryweather. We saw him for the Mary River, yeah. Mary Way.

Yeah. You know Josh and Landon were there? Josh and Landon. Oh, that doesn't surprise me, no. Yeah. All right, let's close this up, dude. Yeah, dude. We just spent the last 20 minutes going on a nostalgia trip.

Just talking about May, the band. Because we kind of brought up Maxine, dude, and then we just went on a... Yeah, and yeah, yeah. So we took a little break there. And, yeah, I think we're going to maybe try to do an episode of all the long lost bands stuck in our memory that we saw open for the band that we were going to see for bands that we that yeah that we were seeing so like

you know what's funny dude we saw it was kings of Leon that opened for the strokes so technically they're in their fair game for that I guess so yeah for that show for that episode we would do like Molly staircase or something like that if we were to bring it because that's what they would have played right right right spiral not not myel I said Molly staircase spiral staircase it was Molly's Chambers.

All these chambers, yeah. Anyway, we've already done a proper episode on Kings of Leon, obviously. So we did with Mitchell like earlier last year. I think that's a great idea, dude. Let's do a grab bag. Bands that we saw open for the, you know, for the headliner, or not even the headliner sometimes, but the band that we went to see. Yeah.

Let's do an episode on the bands that opened for them. What I would want to do is play, what was the, you know, the, you know, do they have it on Spotify? Well, to play it. The EP did they put out. Oh, you're talking about the Kings and Leon? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man.

The Holy Roller Dovercane EP. Because there's a, uh, the California waiting. With the cherry. Yeah. The California waiting on that album, I like it better than the one on the release. Yeah. Me too. Yeah, so we could do that.

There you got to. We figured it out. Yeah, dude. All right. Anyway, well, yeah, that was it. That was our, uh, what you heard for this month. I thought that was a great episode. I think, I think, I think Mudvain may have, may have killed the vibe a little bit, but you

said he liked it, which is surprising. Yeah, I appreciate it. And you know what, dude? We had two fish out of waters there. I think so. With that pets smart. Yeah, PetSmart. Yeah, well, there you go.

See, if I didn't play Mudvain, you wouldn't have played PetSmart. No. It's all my fault, Q. But no, hey, man. Somebody out there's like, hell yeah, mudvane. I haven't thought about them a long time. And someone out there's like, hell yeah, Ben Lapidus. Yeah.

Or they said, it's PetSmart. It's pets. I think it's pets mart. What if it's, what if it's pets, him art, you know? See, now we're talking about it, man. I just like the, I just like the lyrics. He's like, and it can't be both. You can't just say, it can't be both. He's doing, dude, he's doing a chat pile song.

This is kind of what I was. Is it really? Yeah, it's crazy. At least that the style, I don't know if chat pile is completely unique in that, but that's chat piles, that's kind of what I think of just like, sort of like spoken word, but screaming, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway.

All right, Q, so you said that you're going to close us out with another song by Martina Topley Bird that was featured on the game Indigo Prophecy, which, man, I hope somebody out there remembers that because what a phenomenal game, dude. Oh, I'm sure. That's one of those games that, like, changed the way I thought about games, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Came out in 2005. I remember it well. I wish I still had that game, dude. So this song, it's called Sandpaper Kisses. So here we go, yeah.
