And on this month's What You Heard, we're kicking things off. With a brand new single from Empire of the Sun, the song is called Changes. Good to hear from them.

again, man. Yeah, what was their last record that they put out? 2016. It was called Two Vines. Okay. So it's been a minute. It's been eight years. I am only really familiar with walking on a dream because, and Travis, I don't know if you know this, but it's story time. Because walk, that song in particular, Walking on a Dream, walking on a dream was the catalyst. for us to start New Dust, the music blog. I remember, I don't know who's, I don't know whose idea it was. You're either mine, because that wasn't, that wasn't the first post.

No, but me and I think Josh shared that song with me. Yeah. And just, I get some conversation started going between the two of us where we were just talking about like, man, we, we need to. People need to know what we're listening to. I was trying not to make it sound like that. But we were just thinking like, man, we should like find a way to just share music that we like with each with other people. I know.

We'll make up this thing called a blog that no one's ever done before. Yeah. We'll use WordPress and we won't use it at all like you're supposed to use it. Listen, Travis, but nobody knew that. Yeah, you know what? I'm never going to give you any, any hard times for whatever. whatever it was that you were doing to make that website work because it was rough, dude. You made it happen for all the years.

It was rough, but it worked. Yeah, anyways, Empire of the Sun. I loved it, dude. I loved it. Great song. It's a good song, yeah, very catchy. Very, it sounds just like that. Sounds like him.

Yeah. So there's a new album coming out. The album is going to be called Ask That God, which includes this single. changes. That's a cool name for an album. Yeah. It says,

so it says regarding the new LP, the band's Luke Steel explained in a press statement, Ask That God is an album we searched for, and we're thankfully blessed with. We are nothing more than conduits, gathering experience and finding what is meant for the empire to find. So don't they have some sort of like, isn't that part of it like they've got this lore behind them and like some sort of?

I mean, look at, let me look at their photos. all of their photos that they taken of them are taken of them. Yeah, very... But like, do they have like a story line?

Like, are they... I don't know, dude. They're from Australia. Yeah, from a different planet or something. I mean... They talk about the empire, like it's a place that you can go. Right.

And yeah, and even if you look at their album art too. Right. I don't know, dude. It's like Cirque... Dude, their album art looks like a Cirque desolate show. It does. It does. But you know what?

I'm here for it. And I... I have to think Empire of the Sun for our music blog, New Dust. I remember a different origin story. Do you really? But maybe, you know what? For the purposes of this episode, that's what it was.

You and Josh, he started it all. And we thought people need to know what music we like. And we still think that cue. You and I did this day, and that's why we have this podcast. And here's 10 other tracks that we think you should. Yeah, right. Yeah. So for those of you who don't know,

our monthly mixtape, as we like to call it, where we're going to play songs that we like. Songs that we've listened to over the last month. Songs that we've heard in between our recordings that have just been stacking up in a playlist that's ever expanding on my end. Yeah, we both pick five songs to bring. And that's it. Could be any genre, any era. Could have heard it on a commercial. could have heard it in the grocery store, who knows. Yeah, and I'm kicking us off. This is the pace car, dude.

The first track sets the tone. All right, so I've gotten into this show on, I think it's just a Netflix show. It's called Loudermilk, if you heard of it, Trave? I've heard of it, never watched it. It's from one of the Farrelly brothers. I don't remember which one, but, you know, that's the dumb and dumber guys, I think.

Yeah, they also did. Something about Perry and about two. Did they do Kingpin too? The movie with Bill Murray and. Hmm. Was Kingpin? Woody Haroldson? Oh, man, we should know this.

Kingpin was, yes, the Paley Brothers. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So it's got, man, I can never remember his name. Randy Quaid. No, I'm sorry. I'm talking about Ladder Milk. Oh, okay.

The guy from office space, the main guy. Oh. I don't know his name. Yeah. Ron Livingston? Yes, Ron Livingston. So the show's about a guy, a sober, Alcoholics Anonymous counselor.

He's like the leader of this group of alcoholics that meet in a church. And yeah, funny things happen. And it's a gas, dude. And it's set in Seattle, which is what I like the most about it. And it's literally, you can tell it's not just like filmed somewhere. else. It's filmed in Seattle. Like, I recognize a lot of the streets that he's walking down and, you know, a lot of the storefronts. Right. So, yeah, I like that about it. And it's got a great soundtrack. He's also, uh, his character is an ex-music critic, like back in the 60s and 70s,

he was a music critic. And that was when he was, you know, going hard on drugs and alcohol. And he sobered up. And anyways, that's kind of the, the basis of the show. Okay. Lots of good music, dude. And this is a band that I never heard of. that appears on one of the episodes. They're called the mollocks. The mollocks. Okay. Molux.

I think that's how you pronounce that. And I'm bringing a song from their 2017 album, America's Velvet Glory. This song's called No More Crying. Don't often hear a harmonica on no affiliation. Yeah, man. Yeah, we really don't. Or on modern indie music, you know. So does the, yeah, so.

does the whole, I mean, is that, you think that's the theme of this particular record? It's called America's available at Glorice. I honestly don't know. This is the only album of theirs that I've listened to. You know, folk Americana kind of feel to it. Yeah. So I wonder if that's what they're doing for this record. The whole album is not like on the nose like that.

But it's just good rock and roll man. Like that's the only way I can describe it, you know. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, I listen to the whole album. It's fantastic. Yeah, not a bad song on there. Really good stuff. Yeah, it had like a 60s feel to it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of that on there. So, yeah, I thought that would be a good way to kick us off, dude. I like it. All right, dude. Pass it on you and what you got. All right, Q, well, I'm bringing a brand new track from our good friends. We don't know them.

But they've been in our lives for a while. Dive. the double IV they just put out a new record May 24th called Frog in Boiling Water so this is if you don't know

these guys are probably mostly considered a dream pop act but you know they get the shoegaze label thrown on them as well

with this record I feel like it's a little less gasey and a little more grungy which is kind of cool but still the same dreamy like airy vocals right but yeah it's just a really good record man i just listened to it today it's solid so i'm going to play the very first track on the record the song is called in amber

good opener for an album yeah i think so i think it had two like distinct parts in it too oh yeah totally well that yeah that first part kind of had the 90s alt rock guitar tone, you know, to it that kind of sounded a little bit more grungy. But so just in case you were wondering, Q, I think it's no coincidence that they put this out in an election year. So they said that the name of the record, Frog in Boiling Water, is titled after Daniel

Quinn's metaphor. philosophical novel, The Story of B, which refers to, you ready for this? I'm ready. The slow, sick, and overwhelmingly banal collapse of society under end-stage capitalism. And when you look at the lyrics of that song, remember they told us, the tide lifts our boats up. That ocean is dried out, and I can't look away. Woo. Tough truth from dive, Q.

Frog and boiling water, dude, that's us right now. boiling. So at what point do we realize that we're burning alive? When it's too late, Q. Anyway, where do we go from here? I'm going to pass her back to you, Q. What are you got for us?

Well, let's see if I can lighten it up a little bit. All right, you know what, dude? Do you remember the band High Highs? No, no. I'm pretty sure. Should I know them? Well, we definitely featured them on New Dust. On the music blog.

On the music blog. Okay. They got really big with their song, A Real Hero. Oh, that song from Drive? Yeah, from Drive. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. So the album I'm thinking of here is Open Season, came on 2013.

Solid record, dude. This band has like a really just soothing, calming, vibe to them. Just really lovely songs. So is it more that that synth wave vein? Yeah, but a lot less, not nearly as much as a real hero. I guess that song's really not that

synthwaivey. No. Compared to some of the songs that were on that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, on that movie. But yeah, no, this is one of my favorites from that era. So again, this came out in 2013. All right, here we go. The song is

called White Water. Beautiful vocals, Q. Nice harmonizing. So I didn't realize, Q, that the version of Real Hero that shows up on Drive was a cover. So that's why I was expecting.

I was expecting to hear the female vocalist that I'm used to from the Drive soundtrack, but I didn't realize it was a cover of the high high. So I didn't even know that. Well, here's the deal, brother. I think it's the other way around. Because I just looked into it. I'm pretty sure High High Highs is covering. Oh.

Now we're getting somewhere, brother. Interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because that, um, someone. Yeah, that came out in 2010. Okay. The, uh, the, so that, that artist, that group is called college and electric youth. I guess maybe it was a, oh, college.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I think it was a, uh, collaboration. Okay. So that came out. We're learning. We're learning.

Not, yeah. High High High Highs. not show up on Drive. Okay. That's what we learned today. All right. Anyways, yeah, what do you think, Drive? What do you think of the sound?

I like this. It's very, yeah, it's very soothing, dude. That's a little, that's kind of their jam. That's their jam. It's kind of light. I've got a good counter to this. So I've got a good like antithesis to this queue. All right, cool.

Well, let's just get right into it, John. We spent a little bit too much time trying to figure out what artist was playing on the drive soundtrack. Okay, Q. Dude. You know what I just realized? I just kind of shaved my beard a little bit. Now it's a little bit more of the mustache. You know who I look like?

This guy. Oh, wait. I stopped sharing my screen. The guy that did most of the Nirvana. Oh, yeah. I look like Butch Vig. Dude. Yeah, dude.

You do. You do. That's great. All right, Q, so I don't know much about this group, but they showed up in my algorithm on title, which is the new music streaming platform that I've been using. I'm probably going to mispronounce this, but this is a short-lived 90s math rock

post-hardcore group called Fariquette, or Farraket, maybe, one of those two. They're awesome, and this song is great. So this record came out in 2000. So I said short-lived 90s band because they formed in the 90s, but their only record that they ever put out came out in the year 2000. So I'm going to play the first track on this record, and this song is fucking awesome.

You're going to love it. Let's do it. All right, here we go. So this song by Faraket is called Cut Self-Not. That's some good math rock. I haven't listened to a good, I have not listened to a good math rock song in a long time, dude. There you go. It's not like complex just to.

be complex. There's some math. But there's tempo changes and there's like kind of really kind of like complex. Poly rhythms and all that. Yeah, exactly. Guitar. Which do duds. Some math rock I try to listen to him like this is almost like experiment.

This is almost like experimental jazz or something. Yes. I hear you. It's like what do you guys do? This is my my preferred flavor of math rock dude. Yeah. You know what that reminded me of? Maybe it was just to say it because it's probably the same thing I'm thinking of.

Unwound? Yes, dude. But I thought you were going to say another one. Okay. Unwound was one of him, but I thought you were going to say, vocally at least, Ethan Durrell. Oh, yeah. White Knuckles.

But yes, Unwound, 100%. That's what I thought of. Repetition is the only album of Unwound that I got familiar with, thanks to you. But it's a great record. Corpse pose. That song pops into my head. I don't know why of all the songs.

Corpse pose pops in my head. Corpse pose. an unauthorized autobiography or two great tracks. Yeah. So yeah, Farraket short-lived.

Awesome. Did you listen to the whole album? I listened to the first few tracks and it's, yeah, it's solid, man. Solid. Awesome. Yeah,

queue it up. All right. Now where we're going, Q. I think it's 180 time. One-80 time. Okay. I feel like we already just did it 180.

Well, it's time for another one, Joe. Okay. I guess I have you to think for this artist. Dude, that's two in a row, two things in a row. Really?

Well, it was a loss when I played. You just told me, well, you just told me that unwound was nice to me. Well, so I don't remember why when you brought, okay, you brought a song from this compilation record forever ago on this podcast. I just stop here right now and just say, now that you talk, now that I can't get Butch Figg in my head. You just look so much like Butch Vigra. now. My bad, dude. If this was a YouTube, if we did a live recording on the YouTube's, I think everybody else would be saying the same thing.

Quentin looks like Butch Vig right now. I shaved my beard down and now I just have, I've got some stubble and a mustache and I've been growing my hair out. Yes. And now I'm wearing glasses and I look exactly like Butch Vick. I wish that I had that genius level of, you know, music goddom that Bush Vig has. but you don't. I'll settle for looking like them. Various artists, I don't know if this is maybe under the same label.

I guess I'm guessing it is. But yeah, the compilation is called Silk to Dry the Tears. Really good electronic mix of tunes from various artists. Cool. I am bringing a track from an artist called Akasha System. So this is just a solid electronic act. His name is Hunter P. Thompson. I think he has to throw that P in there so people don't think it's Hunter Thompson.

Hunter Thompson. Okay. Hunter P. Thompson. He's from Florida. Yeah, man. Just, I mean, album after album, solid all the way through. I've listened to, I think, all of his fullings. He has a bunch of singles.

But, yeah, they're all worth, all worth a listen. You're in deep. I'm in deep, Treve. All right, here we go. This is, again, Akasha system. this song is called Last Call. Yeah, he's solid, man. You know, this is, I would put this in the same camp, this track at least, has like Tyco in terms of like that warm kind of synth.

There's hypnagogic qualities to it. Yeah. That like that, you know, I don't know if it's like an analog synth sound or whatever, but just that like very kind of almost lo-fi like soft synth sound. I've always loved it. And there's like a warmth to it, you know. Well, here's something interesting. I've never heard this before. I don't know who wrote this, but they describe a cautious system as ecologically charged electronic music.

Okay. I mean, do you think that's because... I don't know. Okay, you know what? I think he brings in some like nature sounds and... Okay, I was going to wonder if he was sampled. Yeah, okay, okay. Yeah.

But, okay, blending analog and then... synthetic instrumentation, spacious environments, and meditative rhythms. That's ecological. Yeah, yeah. That's ecologically charged. Yeah, and, you know, this is, you know, it's almost vapor wavy. Like it's kind of, the kind of vapor wave that I gravitate to at least, because some vapor wave, as we've talked about, it gets kind of ridiculous.

It's just bonkers, yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, I love that kind of like soft house techno kind of ambient, ambient electronic kind of stuff like that. Yeah, I love it. Yeah. He was on that compilation record. Yeah.

The song that was on that compilation record was off of a record called GeoMind, I believe. So that, you know, the name of the record was Silk to Dry the Tears, right? Yeah. So like, I think that makes sense because he's on, that must have been from the 100, the Silk. I think it's called 100% Silk. That's the name of the record label. So that's, that makes sense. Because he's, he's on that same record label.

Yeah, man. Cue up his, any of his albums. Any of them. It's all like that. Awesome. All good, solid electronic music. All right, Travis, pass back to you. What you got?

So this is a group called Allison's Halo. Kind of like Farraket or whatever. They're kind of short-lived. Apparently, they're still making music, but they had a short run in the 90s. So, like, from 92 to 98, they put out a bunch of EPs and singles. And then they put all those tracks together in a compilation record called I Dazzler. And then they regrouped, it looks like, in 2009 and kept making music. So apparently they're still together.

But I have never, to my knowledge at least, I can't think of a single shoegaze band that I've heard of from Arizona, which is interesting. These guys are from Tempe, Arizona. So anyway, it's just a solid, just a solid track. It's all we bring. Of course, man. Just like the music blog, you know, people need to hear this.

So here we go. I think this was a I found this somebody posted about this group on the Shugays subrida cue, which is a good source for Rex.

And And yeah, here's just another example. Somebody posted about this group a year ago, calling them criminally underrated. So here we go, Q. All right. So this is the first track off of that compilation record, I-Dazzler. This song is called Dozen. And actually I've heard this record a long time ago.

I don't remember where, you know, it could have been from the Shugay's subreddit that I heard about it. It might have been from that, you remember that shoe gaze map that you used to reference all the time? Yes, yes. Really good, man. When did this come out? When did this come out? 98? Yeah, so this was their debut single.

Okay, so this came out 95. This is the very first single that they put out. 95, wow. Which makes sense that it would be track one on their compilation record. So these are probably like in the order. Chronological. You know, yeah. Yeah.

So, yeah, so they became, you know, relatively, you know, they, they started opening for bands like to me world curve the verve uh yeah so they they had a short run but uh you know they got some notoriety when they were on the scene back in the day so there you go allison's halo that song was called dozen i'm going to pass it back to you kean where we go from here another 180 all right i wasn't going to play this song but you know what you brought you brought some female vocals, so I'm going to bring some. I don't know where I heard this because I've never watched this show before, but I don't know if this was written for the show or what, but this is an artist called King Princess,

and this is just a single, and the album cover is just the show. It's just a season three. it's a show called hacks Oh I fucking love hacks Oh yeah Oh I love this show You're gonna Okay then are you just start watching it

No I've never seen it Oh you gotta watch it Dude it's great Okay Cool Well then you'll probably recognize this It's a cover

Of Dirty work By Steve Oh Steve Dan Pretty sure I just heard this On last nights Or on the episode I watched a few nights ago

So I'm guessing you're in season three, huh? Yes, I am. Well, solid cover, man. And this is one of my favorite Steely Dan song. Yeah. And yeah, King Princess does it well. Here we go.

Cool. I guess I'm listening to Steely Dan and Marku. That just put me in the mood for Steely. A faithful rendition. Yeah, great, great. I love the sax in there. you know yeah and you know a very well-placed tambourine and i don't know if that's how exactly where it's placed in the original from steely but you know when when you bring in the tambourine at the

right moment it just it just works let's put it this way dude you can't cover a steely dan song and not do it faithfully you know i mean true because it's steely dan you can't it's Steeley didn't. And they obsessed over every single second of each of their records. So you better do it, right? Exactly. What's your favorite stealing album? I go between Royal Scam. Royal Scam?

Really? Royal Scams got some interesting stuff on it, dude. It's got some great guitar work. Maybe that's why I like it so much. And probably Gautro. I think Gautier is my favorite. I could say Asia, but I don't want to say Asia. Everyone says Asia.

I really like Katie Lide too. Basically, Katie Lide. Katie Lyd is probably my least favorite. Really? I just really like some of the tracks. I go between Gaucho and pretzel logic. Anyways, tangent, my friend. Listen to Royal Scam again, dude.

Yeah, I will cue the Oriel Sgam again, man. Cue that up. It's funny on Spotify on the side here for King Princess's cover of dirty work. The main artist, King Princess, Walter Carl Becker, composer, Donald J. Vagan composer. Yeah, that's right. Anyways, all right, Tref. So, yeah, I was going to play that tonight, but...

Well, now you got to go watch hacks, man. It's great. Yeah. You'll really like it. It's hilarious. It's a great premise for a story, too. It's about like this kind of old, retired, or not retired, but like, kind of washed-up, retired comedian who's in Vegas and stuff.

and she hires a young, like, millennial writer to write for her and just like the dynamic. To write her comedy? To write jokes for her. To help her write jokes. That sounds awesome. But yeah, the lead actor, let me see. Let me give a shout out to her. She plays the character, Ava.

She's great, man. Who's the millennial? Hannah Einbinder, who's her name? She's hilarious. And then Depp, Gene Smart plays the older comedian. She's been around for forever, you know, Gene Smart. She's very, very well known. She's in Garden State.

She's the mother in Garden State. If you can recall that. Anyway. All right, Jeff. Round in the bend. Yes. Well, I just did a little switchy roo because I think this would be a better, a nice, a nicer flow.

So I'm going to play a more upbeat kind of track here. So I queued up, I already told you about that I was kind of into this group here, that I was listening to these guys kind of for the first time. So the last episode we covered Avlov and we talked about Ringo Death Star because the singer Alex Gearing lended her vocals on a couple of tracks off of Buds, the album that we covered from Avlov. So I was like, you know, let me pull up Ringo Death Star. and I listened to this record, Pure Mood, came around in 2015, and was blown away by it. So I'm going to bring a track from this record. And dude, this song would just crack me up, dude. I love the lyrics in this song.

It's just a bunch of 90s references, and it's great. So here we go. Again, this band is called Ringo Death Star, and this song is called Big Bopper. No, Death Star. That was my question two, three weeks ago. Dude, they're from, did you know they were from Austin, Texas? Because they are. No.

And they formed in 2005. I'm surprised you didn't stumble upon a show of theirs, man. It wasn't that when you were living in Austin around that time. So yeah, I was in Austin in 07. But. Yeah. So, yeah. Dude, what an awesome song.

Yeah, man. Not just the lyrics. Yeah. Besides the lyrics. But I just love the last verse is just great. It's walking home, Joey Ramon, Andy Wood, mother, love bone. My girl, good son. alone, right? So those are three

McCauley Coker films. Jeremy, daughter, even flow. Even Flo, that's a Pearl Jam. All three of those are Pearl Jam. Why don't you get to Steppenkue? I know what you did last summer. That's a movie, obviously. Heaven's Gate. That's that cult, you know, that with the Nike's and shit. Neve Campbell, Liv Tyler.

Okay, were they both in Apollo 13? Nev Campbell wasn't Scream, dude. Okay. I don't know that's right. That's right. But live Tyler was. Yeah, yeah. Oh, we're good. And then, you know, three more references. Oasis, Tony Blair and Blair.

Anyway, I just love it. It's great. When did the sun come up? But this, when in the sun? 2015. Okay, so those are all 90s references. Yes, those are all 90s references. Yeah, yeah.

You mentioned that died on a plane with the big bopper. That's, yes. Buddy Holly was on that plane. Buddy Holly. There was one other person, I think. Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, and someone else. Yeah, they all died. Just a bunch of pop culture references, which is kind of cool.

I like here waiting around for who's good do to get back together and play some tunes. Right. Yeah, that's cool. Anyway, so this record is phenomenal. We may have to do an episode on this record. It's awesome. It's called Pure Mood. Came out in 2015.

We can go Death Star. And I'm going to pass it back to you. Good luck following that one up, dude. That was going to be my closer. Oh, a good closer. It would have been, but I wanted to mix it up a little bit. I got a good one to close this. I'm going to pull something out of the left field.

All right. I'm going to read this whole. whole thing here before we play. Because this is kind of, it's saying a lot. But you know what? I think this description lives up to the sound here. So guitarist and producer, Godriguez. That's weird.

Godriguez. Godriguez. Producer of the Sampa the Great's The Great Mix tape. Some of the Great has some really good stuff. Marshalled together some of the best musicians of the new generation in Sydney. Okay, I've played three songs from Australian groups tonight. So we got a head priest of the Cuban Eiffa religion, the stepson of Australia's greatest ever funk and soul musician, Australia's leading drummer in this new generation, in a deeply emotionally gifted pianist from New Zealand. These disparate backgrounds, I'm sorry, disparate backgrounds culminate with incredibly sensitive musical and emotional connections to form Godette.

That's the name of the band. I'm sorry, what were you going to say, Traff? I was just going to say it sounds like like a madlib. It does. It does. It does. Yeah, the group is called Godtete. And I mean, I really don't know how to describe it, Jeff.

It's maybe a little jazzy. Very experimental. It's experimental. All right, here we go, Jeff. This album is called Two. And this is the last song on the album. It's called Struck Bamboo Pipes. That was, I mean, for sure, they struck those bamboo pipes for sure.

Right off the roof. They struck them real good. Came up with that song name. Yeah, seriously. I mean, it almost sounded like, I don't know, you're not very familiar with Bonobo, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, all right. Well, you kind of stopped listening to them, right?

True. Maybe you go back to, like, Dial M for Monkey or whatever. That's too far. Okay, all right. No, I've kept up with Bonobo for the most part. Okay, okay. But like, it's jazz, but he's a, you know, he's a producer, DJ. Right.

So it's like electronic down-tipple stuff, but it's got a jazz flare to it. I think this is more of a live band. Yeah, straight, right, straight, light band. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, when Bonobo is out there touring and stuff, he'll bring a live band with him. Right. And those vocals you heard there, that's someone they brought in for the record or for that song. Hannah Maclin is her name.

So I will say this song is more lively than most of the tracks on this album. You really got to just... Okay. Is it, I mean, is it ambient stuff? It is, yeah, it is for sure. This one was, yeah, like I said, way more lively than the rest of it. Really interesting stuff. I liked it.

That's a good, like, just throw that on in the background while you're... Yep. While you're chilling at night, you know? Exactly. All right, so again, that was God Tett. And Travis, how you guys are you guys? going to take us home. All right.

Another shout out to Reddit for posting this group. So somebody posted a live video. They saw this group open for some band. What's some group? They're great, man. Well, cute. Shugays. Shoegaze.

But this is not a shoegaze band. I will not put them in that camp. They're more just a solid kind of not really psychedelic. but like they're rock they're a rock group with maybe some some shoegays elements but they're not I would not classify them as you guys uh they're called necromoon necro moon necro moon from fort Wayne indiana and they just man I have a really eclectic kind of varied sound like they have two vocalists which is always fun um and some of the stuff almost sounds like the early 2000s era garage rock almost like Interpol kind of style but like a little bit I want to give him a little bit more it's not as like angular and like you know as Paul banks but or the or the you know the style of Interpol but I'm just saying I don't know there's such a wide range you got to kind of listen to the record and let it kind of speak for itself which is what we're going to do right now Q that's what we're here for so this is a

That's what we're doing. So this record came out last year. It's called Nature Makes Our Graves for Us. It's a cool. Wow. Really makes you think. All right, here we go. So this song is called Orange Peel.

My favorite track you've brought so far to what you heard this year, brother. Awesome, awesome song, right? Wow. Really good. Yeah, I was blown away by it. And the whole record's solid. I mean, dude, like, you just never know when you go to a show. If a pen like that opens, man, I'd be like, holy crap.

I'd be going, I'd be be lying into the merch booth queue. Yeah, dude. That was great. I mean, I'm not even here to hear wherever I'm here to hear. Right. I'm going, yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to the Necrow Moon booth and picking up this record. But yeah, dude, solid, solid track. Cool album art too

Cool album art I kind of like how they And Travis I know that you're all about this Because you're You know this is what you do for a living But I kind of like how they split up their name And two Lines

It looks like you can see it Like it's cut off On the top line of the album cover Travis that's some good Graphic design I'm not a graphic designer But I appreciate that you think that I I always think that you are

I always think if it's a graphic designer I mean I dabble you know okay but that's not my trade you just put all the things in the right place on the website i dabbled cue i'm an amateur okay amateur hour um but you know i'm a coder at heart um but yeah man so i think that the title of the post on read it was like you ever see an opening band and just like are blown away by him we have i have something to that effect numerous times yeah me too I love it. I love it.

Because, you know, that's the greatest thing. If you just go in blind and then you're, you're blown away by the opening act, it's, it's awesome, right? You know what I was thinking about the other day, Jeff? This is a tangent. You know, we saw Food Fighters for their one-on-one tour, remember? Cave in. Cave in, open for them. Yeah, exactly.

And I'm, I might just say something salacious here, but I'm a bigger fan of Antenna, I think, than any other food fighters record. There I said it. Yeah. You know what? I'm not going to argue that. It's got more staying power for me, Antenna, in terms of, like, a record. Dude, that was the year that they were towing for that album. Yes. So, yeah, we saw them.

And, dude, am I wrong? Didn't the transplants open? It was the transplants cave in. And so we saw Travis Parker behind the kit. Dude, I remember the, I remember the lead singer was a total dick, dude. I remember he was getting pissed for some reason at the audience, and he was like flipping us all. and shit. Well, I mean, we're not there to see.

Like, there was some wacky ass group. Yeah, the openers are the openers. I mean, Travis Barker is the freaking God, but. Right, right. I'm not here to see the transplants. He's a great drummer. But he's, all right, who's a better drummer, Q, Travis Barker or Dave Grohl? You can't answer it.

You really can. Dave Grohl is the answer. I would say Dave Girl, but totally different styles. Different styles, yeah. Anyway. All right. I'm going to close us out with another track from Neckerman. I'll close us out with another track.

Yeah, because I want you to hear the male vocalist too. So we'll close with another track. Also, they reference the shining in one of their track names. It's a very obscure reference, but I'm pretty sure they're referencing the shining. Well, you would know. Track 5. I would know. Track 5, KD.K.12.

That is the call sign that Shelley DeValle's character says. when she's like trying to radio in to like the guard or whatever like the or the whoever the city or whatever when they're stuck with the snow she's like Katie K12 to KDK1 and she says that like a couple times and a handful of people in this movie would catch that reference

I watched that movie once a year did yeah she goes Katie K12 calling Katie K1 and she like says it over and I'm going I like to think that they're referencing the Shining because that's one of my favorite. I mean, it's a very rare, random sequence of letters.

Yeah, those letters together in numbers, yeah, exactly. They've got to be. We got to be. So I like him even more now. Anyway,

all right, Q, that was, that was a good collection of tunes, man. Yeah, I think we got dinner service this month. Really random stuff.

Yeah. Which is, you know, that's what the mixtape is all about. That's what your head's all about. Yes, yes. All right,

well, next month, sounds like we're doing a sound carrier, episode. Yeah, that's going to be good. And then I've got my artist picked for July. So, awesome. I've got a doozy of a record.
