Starting point is 00:00:40 Welcome to No Filler. I'm Travis. And I'm Quentin. And on this month's What You Heard, we're going to play a brand new single from Dinosaur Jr. This song is called Blowing Up. A pleasant surprise, dude. New Dinosaur Jr. That's awesome. Yeah, they got a new album coming out. in well as of the recording of this like for yeah at the 28th of August so depending on when this
Starting point is 00:02:33 comes out it might already be out here but yeah if you're like wait a minute that doesn't sound like Jay Mascus you're right that's not him on the vocals that's Lou Barlow he's one of the founding members so he's one of the OGs but he he's the bass player so but yeah Jay Mascus is still appearing on the on the record on vocals there's another single that they put out from this record a couple weeks back called Several Got Away and Jay is singing on that one. So if you like your Dinosaur Jr. because of J.M.askus, don't worry. If he's vocals.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Yeah. Don't worry. But I really liked that. I liked his singing style quite a bit. That was it great. Does he sing in other Dinosaur Jr. albums or a song? Yeah. I'm sure he does.
Starting point is 00:03:18 I'm not sure he does. I'm not sure he does. Dinosaur Jr. man. I mean, one of the like, just they've never lost their, their relevant. see I feel like you know what I mean totally you know they've just they're they're consistent I feel like every time you listen to to Diogen Jr's Junior it sounds like it could have just come out the day that it came out I mean if that makes sense like do you know what I mean like it doesn't sound like the day that you listen to it you mean I just
Starting point is 00:03:44 I just mean like they don't sound dated ever yeah yeah even the new stuff just just it just sounds they're just consistent you know they're great so anyway totally definitely a high possibility that one of the tracks off that new record shows up in a few months on our best of 2026. I can't believe it, dude. In a few months. Yeah, how's it August already?
Starting point is 00:04:06 Already nearing past the halfway mark of this year. Right, dude. Yeah, it's crazy. But I tell you, man, I'm all about it, dude. This is my favorite. The last half of the year, or the last quarter, I should say,
Starting point is 00:04:22 is my favorite quarter of the year. You know, you got to, if you're ranking your quarters, you know, the last three months. Yeah. Come on, man, it doesn't get better. Fall, dude. Yeah, but I, man, I fell in love with the spring. I mean, not like I haven't loved spring up here since I moved to Washington in 2014, but like really getting into it with the flowers and the blooms and doing all the pruning and stuff in my backyard.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I don't know if it can beat, if fall can beat spring anymore, dude. Fair enough. It's such a small window where those flowers. are popping, dude. And it's, I think that's what I like about spring, dude, because it's like, it's just so, just such a small window. But then the, you know, the summer months and the weather's fucking great. But yeah, just, just seeing those flowers for like three weeks and then they're gone.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Makes it special. Well, I'm living in Satan's butthole, dude. Yeah. Right now. Yeah. I know, dude. And that, that's not going to stop until, like, October, probably. plenty of room for you all up here oh all right let me just pack my things up and i'll see you in a few
Starting point is 00:05:31 please please do well anyway this is our monthly mixtape we call it what you heard we both bring five tracks each plus you know the intro and the outro track so 12 tracks total that you're going to hear yeah no rules as to the genre the decade it's whatever whatever we've been listening to lately hence the name, what you heard. And you went first last month, Q, so I'm going to play another track to start us off. Sweet. Let's do it, man. All right, Q, let me see if you remember this record from the New Dust Days, which is the indie blog that we used to run for a hot minute.
Starting point is 00:06:18 You remember this record, Beacon? Oh, hell yeah, dude. Now, are you as shocked as I am that this band has not appeared on this show? Because I was shocked. Yeah, actually. This is the only album I think that I'm familiar with. So Beacon, right? This is 2013.
Starting point is 00:06:36 This would have been right in the thick of new dust. Yes, yes, yes. So it's a duo electronic act. Yeah. What gets you back into this album? Do you know? This is one of those albums that I've had like saved in my, Spotify library and sometimes I just scroll and see oh let me listen to this this album again it's been
Starting point is 00:06:58 a while since I've seeked out this kind of music I still don't really anymore but sometimes it still hits right dude yeah this is bringing me back dude I'm gonna have to re-save this to my library yeah so we're gonna play a track that that has always been my favorite track on the record so here you go this is again a group called beacon this is off of their 2013 album the ways we separate rate. And this song is called Between the Waves. Good stuff, man. There's a lot of good stuff like that coming out around that time. Reminds me a lot of sawn, S-O-H-N. I was a big fan of this stuff back in the day. It's kind of dark, right? Like dark. Dark, synth, brooding down tempo. Yeah, man. No surprise. They were on and possibly are still on Ghostly International, which is perfect, perfect record label
Starting point is 00:10:32 for that kind of stuff. Oh, totally. Guess what, dude. As it always happens, they are putting on a new record this year. Of course. So I'll have to check that out. So, yeah, they've got a new record coming out.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Oh, in five days, dude, August 7th. So I haven't listened to any, I don't think a single track from them besides what was on this record. Same. So I have no idea what they sound like. Like have they evolved? I'm sure they have.
Starting point is 00:11:01 you know so yeah anyway so yeah i'll check that out how dry a cinder but yeah so go listen to it now it's already out so we go again this was beacon the song was called between the waves off of their 2013 record the ways we separate and i'm going to throw it to you for your first track cue when are you got for us all right dude i think you probably know this because you visited us recently ronan found his way to some asa bass man and the thing with spotify I don't know how it happens, you know, because usually what he does is he's listening to a song and then he'll scroll down to similar artists or he'll click on like that artist's radio, you know, so that's like the radio playlist that just plays similar artists or artists from the same era. And he found the sign by Ace of Base. And then you were with us, Trav, at that record store.
Starting point is 00:11:56 And they had just random cassette tapes like on their little display. wall in the back and running goes are you kidding me right now and grabs he said that i don't ever yeah dude it's his favorite thing to say right now that's funny are you kidding me right now dude he used it perfectly you know i know and he grabbed he saw the sign that this must have been the album that blew them the fuck up dude because uh all that she wants is on there don't turn around yeah the sign from 93 that's the album and we're gonna play a track from it dude because so we got i got got a boombox for Ronan. And old school boombox, looks like probably early 2000s boombox.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Play CDs, plays cassettes, Traff. It's got a digital FM tuner, Travis, which was a big deal back then. Anyways, so here we go. We're going to play track three off of the sign from Asa Bass. And this pairs perfectly with Beacon, I think. I mean, there's no better time than now to play Asa Bass. So here you go. This one's called Young and Proud.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Well, Q, I don't know about you. but all I had in my head was the scene of Will Ferrell and Chris Catan op on their heads in their car. I mean, Not at the Roxbury? Not at the Roxbury, yeah. They were doing it to what is love, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Maybe I don't hurt. Which an all-time banger, dude. Which, you know how much this dates us, dude, that that's the reference you're bringing up? I know, I know, dude. Come on. But yeah. No. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Totally. what a banger so when did that come out 93 okay well guess what the what is love came up before that so okay okay what's your point i was good just to me it reminds me like dance dance revolution and the sure the bangers ever on those did you ever play that i didn't uh i played guitar i played the controller version of it i never got on the dance pads dude i never did it in the arcade But I was really fucking good at it on the controller, dude. Really good. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:16:42 I've been banging out to that song. And this whole, this whole freaking record, dude, for the last, like, month. It's awesome that he's got his first music player. And I think it's kind of cool that it's a consent player. Yeah. Yeah. And Ace Bass, is the only one that is his. Yeah, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:16:59 I have some CDs left in the class. I saw, I traded them to you, Trave, not that long. go. So I got rid of most of the good ones. But yeah, he listens to a lot of Josh Grobin, which is Sarah's one of Sarah's loves. Josh Groven. Josh Grobin. Yeah, some Manatee commune. We have like one of his CDs. Anyways, yeah, dude, he's a bass in your face. Pass it back to you, brother, what you got. All right. Now, Q, I know that you're not as big a fan as this group as I am. but I have their best of on vinyl,
Starting point is 00:17:40 and so I busted it out and listened to it. A group called the clientele. Barning. Yeah, well. Well, we saw them open for Spoon, Q. Do you remember that? I wasn't there for that, dude. See, that's confusing to me.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I feel like it wasn't there for that. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think I caught that one. I think I only saw Spoon once in Deep Ellum. That does not compute in my brain, Q. We saw them several times. You've lived there your whole, you still live close enough to go see bands in Deep Ellen.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Of course, of course. But I'm just saying like I remember seeing Spoon with with you several times. But maybe not. I don't know, man. Anyways. Either way. So this is a, the best way to describe their sound is almost like a, like a dream pop mixed with like Brit pop kind of sound. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Yeah. That checks out, dude. Yeah, but he's got this incredible voice and he's got the reverb tone that he gets on his guitar is like amazing. Very clean guitar tone with just drenched in reverb, but not in like a shoegaze reverb wall of sound type thing. More just very like I said, jangly, dreamy. And this song has always always been a favorite of mine. So here we go. We're going to listen to the clientele, one of my favorite bands of all time.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I think there's just something special about them, Q. So maybe I'm going to convert you right here right now to a clientele fan. So this is off of their 2009 record Bonfires on the Heath. And the song is called Harvest Time. Back to the leaves go shivering my scared crows watch the verges of life. I mean, but no one's there. Harvest time through summertime. Harvest time.
Starting point is 00:21:10 It's harvest time. I mean, what's not to like, Traff? That's what I've been asking. I've been asking you for years. I don't think you ever, okay, I don't think you ever said you didn't like him. You just never really connected. It never like tickled a pickle.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Well, now your pickles's, it's getting ticked. I mean, what needs to happen is this. And this, hey, we preach it, Treve. And I haven't been practicing it for this band. Not once have I pressed play. Come on it. Hey, dude, that's just, that's probably what it is. That's probably what it is.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Well, you got to listen to strange geometry, dude. It is one of the best records of that decade. It's so good. Just a year before we graduated high school, dude. Yeah, that's probably like when we saw, that Spoon show was so I got to see them do a lot of stuff out of this record. Here's my guest, Trow.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Dude, it's so good, man. I probably missed that show because I was, I probably had some freaking, like, obligation with a girlfriend at this time or some dumb, dumb thing like that. Classic. That's my best guess, dude. Yeah, that's probably, that's probably true. Strange Geometry is one of those records that has probably been on the list of albums to cover on No Filler since we thought about this show, dude.
Starting point is 00:22:52 And that's, it's shocking. but probably because you were you were always like let's just do this instead you know we just pivoted every time I maybe brought it up but no let me ask you this chav should that be my first listen yes okay but they have I don't know what's looking like six other albums underneath that one travi you're telling me none of those are worth
Starting point is 00:23:16 me listening to as far as like Strange geometry is a good entry point too that's all okay okay uh and I know for a fact that it's a no-filler record. All right. I'll give it a while. Now, I'm not going to mow the lawn with this one. But dude, there's a album, there's a track on here called Geometry of Lawns, okay?
Starting point is 00:23:35 Are you kidding me? No. What the fuck? There's a track on strange geometry called Geometry of Lawns. Okay. So you have to listen to it while you're mowing. See, that's the thing. I only mow my lawn like every week and a half or two weeks.
Starting point is 00:23:50 So what's queued up then for the next one? Um, well, it's, uh, clientele. Paul McCartney's new album. I haven't listened to it's new album? Brand new album. I didn't know that. Just came out, dude. It's supposed to be great.
Starting point is 00:24:05 The Boys of Dungeon Lane is what it's called. I'm guessing it's some new, some guest singer on every single track. Ringo Star is the only one that guests. Okay, that's cool. That's legit. Because I think his last one was a, it was a collab effort, right? Yeah, okay. No, I've heard great things about it.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Sweet. Okay. That's awesome. I got to get it in, man, because it's got to make it to invest of it. It's a fucking Paul McCarty. Well, that's dope. Speaking of, dude, hey, speaking of, my next track is a Paul McCarney song. Because.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Not off of this record? Not off of the new one. Okay. So my brother-in-law, Isaiah, he's a big garage sale guy. And he resales. He goes to find retro games and retro consoles. and he resells him. Anyways,
Starting point is 00:24:53 anytime, if he finds anything, if he sees a box of records that he thinks maybe there could be some good, he's not, he's not really like heavy into music like me. I've told him what to look to not,
Starting point is 00:25:04 not to buy. Don't buy Robert Streisand, you know, don't buy Herb Albert and the Tijuana whatever's. Like, I've given him the list of like what you're going to find at every goodwill. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:15 every value village. Yeah. Right. Exactly. No, that one, I would love to have, actually. That's like one of those holy grail ones.
Starting point is 00:25:24 So he brought home a box of records for me to flip through. I just flipped through him today. I picked, I grabbed some of them. One of them was a very good copy of McCartney's Ram from 1971, which has one of my favorites of his Monkbury Moon to Light. I brought that as a song. I remember that. Because it sounds, dude, it sounds just like man, man.
Starting point is 00:25:48 It sounds like man, and even just, like man man. Even the title sounds like a man man. Totally. Yeah, totally. And it's got some great, great songs on it. So I put that record on earlier today just to play through it all. I say it was hanging out with us. So we're just going to play a song from Ram, dude. So we're going to actually play the next song after Monk Mary Moondalight.
Starting point is 00:26:10 This one's called Eat at Home. Yeah, man, like you were saying off mic, he's he he might be the best songwriter of all time guarantee you there's a lot so many people that would say no fucking way but yeah dude I mean as far as just prolific and just diverse in sound and I mean yeah
Starting point is 00:28:33 she just keeps going dude how how many fucking songs can you have in your brain that's what I'm saying dude yeah and they're all they're all it's like it's breathing it's breathing for him. Right. Right. And he's just a, he's just a, I mean, just a good dude. I mean, I don't, I don't fucking know. But anytime he's, you know, and, you know, a long form interview, like,
Starting point is 00:28:58 in podcasts I listen to every now and then, he'll pop up. I think, I think he was on, like, Conan, Conan's pod or something. He's just, he's just great. He, he still seems like the little lad from Levitpoole. Right, right, right. Yeah, he just, he doesn't come off as pretentious. I mean, you want to talk about somebody who, like, if anybody should have an inflated ego. It's Paul fucking McCartney, dude. Yeah, dude. Hello, or even, or Ringo. Or Ringo.
Starting point is 00:29:24 But not as much, right? Yeah. But, but yeah, dude. I always love songs that are to just feel like they came out of just. I mean, it's him and Linda just singing about fucking in bed, I think. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's just, sure. But like it.
Starting point is 00:29:37 So many of his songs, dude, are just. But I, yeah, I like the, the songs about just daily. daily, daily joys, right? Oh, so many of his songs are like that, man. Yeah, songs that you can just sing. Dude, that probably came out of them just laying around the house, man. And he's just, and like, if you're just, if you're Paul McCartney, like, you know, you just stumbling over all the songs around, just laying around, you know, they just come out.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Yeah, you go, let me get, let me pick that up. Another banger. Oops. Yeah, another classic track. Yeah. Just came out where we were. Yeah. Yeah, dude. That's a great album, dude. Ram. Fantastic album. Now, Travis, we need a 180. Okay. I got one. Okay. I'm trying to do. Boy, do I got one. All right. I got two. So,
Starting point is 00:30:28 I'm going to stick with my original flow here. So I've been sitting on this for a couple months because I'd never, I don't know, never really made sense where to put it. But that was just good at time as any. So as I mentioned to you, Q, have I mentioned yet that I acquired all four Pure Mood's records? Have I mentioned that yet? I think you've mentioned that, Trevor. Okay. The group, if you want to call them to a group, Enigma is behind the Return to Innocence song that everybody knows, right? Return to Innocence. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Hi. Oh, huh. Was that not? Did I not nail it, Traff? I feel like I'm sitting on the couch in that commercial. That infomercial is playing right now. Yeah. That infomercial is on the TV right now.
Starting point is 00:31:21 That does bring me right back to the den, man. At Southampton. Right back to it. Lights out. Yes, dude. Yeah, dude. It's crazy. The soft glow, dude.
Starting point is 00:31:31 And maybe space, maybe we're watching space coast coast coast to coast, dude. that would have been in the 2000s but yeah I'm pretty sure the Pyramoods commercials ran for a long time now I think dude I think in between
Starting point is 00:31:43 like for the commercials during Space Coast I think it was Girls Gone Wild probably you're right Adult Swam Adults Swam you're right you're right Anyway so
Starting point is 00:31:51 I picked up the record the actual record that this song was on it's called The Cross of Changes And when you say record you mean CD I bought it on CD of course
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yeah Anyway, and I'm not going to play the, there's only one reason I'm playing the song. So we're going to skip ahead. It's a nine minute track. The part that I want you to listen to, your ears, if you know the song, I know if Mitchell's listening, his ears are going to perk up on a certain part of the song and he's going to be floored in the same way that I was. Where I was like, am I hearing what I think I'm hearing? So does someone sample this?
Starting point is 00:32:36 Yes, there's a sample in this track that blew me clean out of my chair and out of the window. And I was probably on the sidewalk when I first heard it. So here we go. This is a song by Enigma called I Love You and I'll Kill You, which is a cool name. And I'm going to jump into like the middle. Like I said, I'm literally playing this so we can react to the sample. So here we go. I mean, did they get permission from Ozzy?
Starting point is 00:35:25 I can see them not getting permission from, you know, the couple, the singers that they stole the sample from for return to innocence. I can see them not getting permission from them and getting away with it. But no freaking way that they don't have to give permission from Sabbath. But yeah, if you don't know what that was, let me just play 10 seconds from Black Sabbaths, the wizard. So I got to hear. That's the harmonica. a little bit. Yeah, which is cool.
Starting point is 00:36:29 But yeah. Well, they had to like, yeah, syncopated, whatever. Right, right. The beat. So, yeah, that, that samples actually played earlier on in the track. But I wanted to just hear that sample and then hear like that pretty cool guitar solo, which, which. Yeah, that was cool. Which, um, we're not expecting on an enigma.
Starting point is 00:36:46 But yeah, dude. Wow. You know, the 90s had this interesting, like, spiritual kind of thing going on. That was awesome. Oh, dude. The new age shit, dude. New age. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:56 The new age stuff, man. And that's kind of what the Pyramids CD series was all about and that's what this group was all about That's why, you know, Enigma is like It's this one guy His name is Michael Cretu Probably mispronouncing that
Starting point is 00:37:12 But like he is the visionary behind it But like he purposely Well who's the main vocals? Oh who knows man He's sampling all sorts of peeps probably Oh I thought it was a It could be this lady here Andreas Andreas Hardey
Starting point is 00:37:26 I think he had a a longtime partner that he collaborated with. Well, Return to Innocence has a female lead. Well, he sings a lot. Her and this guy. It is, but Return to Innocence had that sample taken from. Sure. Defong and Igay DeWana,
Starting point is 00:37:44 who he just stole the stole without. Isn't that ironic that don't you think? Where, hang on. Now, where is Enigma from? America. No, he's not from America, dude. Okay. He is, he is from, he's Romanian German.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I was going to say, I just think we stole enough from the Native American stage. But no, he did, he did, they did bring a lawsuit and won, so anyway. Okay, good. But yeah. Anyway, so yeah, if you like that kind of stuff, it's an interesting listen. The Enigma Records are like that, very, very new age, interesting background music. But yeah, dude, when I heard that, I was like, wait a gosh darn second. Well, there's no denying it, man.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Yeah, so if you look at the Wikipedia here, he sampled songs from several artists on this record, including Vangelis, U2, Genesis, and Black Sabbath. So he's sampling left and right, dude. He wanted to make this, like, weird kind of cosmic project where it's like, it's this amalgamation of all sorts of musical genres and stuff like that. it's supposed to be. That's what the name of the project was. And most of it was like, you know, taken from like, anyway. So again, that was, I'll love you, I'll kill you.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Featuring a sampled harmonica from Black Sabbaths, the wizard, which is the only reason I brought this track for us to listen to. I liked it, dude. I really liked it, actually. Hey, it's a great track. Don't get me wrong. But we weren't going to listen to nine minutes just to get to that, or five minutes or whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:21 It was just good. Anyway. All right, Q. So now we got another 180 in store. I'm sure of it. No, actually. this one's going to I think this one pairs well with at least the kind of breathy the breathiness interesting of the voice um and Travis this so um I just I totally forgot that we did this for a while and I think we need to start doing it again trav we were doing what you heard playlists now but now the only problem with that is I mean we're already paying for Spotify I know you are and I am
Starting point is 00:39:56 I mean, we're shitting. We're also at the same time. We're shit. I know. I know, dude. But anyways, like, I think it was cool to have. So we had every song that was featured on a Whatcher episode, we would turn that into its own playlist. So each Whatcher heard episode had us on playlist so that you could quickly.
Starting point is 00:40:15 A 10 track playlist. Correct. I don't know why. Why do we do that? Why did we do that? Dude, there's a lot of publications that do, music publications that do that kind of stuff. Only 10 tracks, though? doesn't seem more. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, burp, dude. Yeah, but he also does that shit all the time.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Anyways, so I went back and was just listened through to some of these. I forget which one it was. But that doesn't matter. I think it was a watch aired from a few years ago back when we were doing these playlists. And I revisited this artist named Beauty Queen. There's a song of hers from, an album, an EP from 2019 called This Time Around that I brought on what you heard way back then. And hey, wouldn't you know it? She has a new album. And I gave it a listen all the way through. It's a delight, dude.
Starting point is 00:41:09 A freaking delight, man. So we're going to play the first track on the record. This one's called Blade of Light, which is the title track. Just like that light. I can always count on you, I have to say something corny like that. It just comes out, dude. What is this shub genre, dude, of Dream Pop? If you want to call it that.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Like, what is it? No, because it's prevalent, man. It has been for the last decade or so. This is, this is like its own little, you know, a little slice of. Yeah, I know what you mean. Because there's lots of artists that sound like that. And this, that's not an insult. It's not a dig.
Starting point is 00:44:47 No, no, not a dig. I'm just saying like, what, what is it? I'm trying to go to. band camp to see what she calls herself. Bedroom pop, dream pop, lofi. Lofi. Lofi. Who am I thinking of, dude?

Starting point is 00:45:26 Sure. Bedroom pop. So that's what she's saying. And I think that works. That works. But I was just saying I like it when I always like it when the drums are doing or like at a pace that doesn't align really with like the softness of the like a drum and bass type. Oh, yeah. Over a dream pop soft kind of.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Yeah. Sleepy girl pop. You know what I mean? because there's like a little bit of like a juxtaposition going on that I like quite a bit you know so yeah yeah yeah did nothing not to like about it totally great album I'm sure I'm sure she'll find the way to the vest of for the year because I came out back in April so yeah man pass it back to you but we got what two two more two two more each okay and boy do I have a 184 house a dad boy howdy so here we go cute get your floaties on because we're going to wade into

Starting point is 00:51:50 Now, Q, you want to know why you also probably down in the, in the, in, deep down in your brain, a little, a little bulb was going off. Mm-hmm. Why is that? Because you recognized Josh Hami was on vocals, background vocals. Oh, no, I didn't recognize that. Josh Homi provided. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Okay. For this song. And he, because I had like three, at least three people singing during the harmonies. Yeah. So he's going to appear, at least they say, they say that he is. is featured in this track only, but I'm curious if he's going to provide any instruments. It says here at the bottom of the Wikipedia page.
Starting point is 00:52:28 The album will feature numerous guest musicians, including Hami, Gieser Butler of Black Sabbath, and Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, which, come on now. How cool is that, dude? Come on, Charlie. Come on. Come on.

Because you can, there will always be a 180 following, unless you've got another pet smart up your sleeve. No. But speaking of snakes, Tram.
Starting point is 00:53:17 I was not going to play. this track tonight. But fuck it. Rattlesnake milk, dude. I listened to the self-titled all the way through since we recorded that episode with Mitch. And I just got another fucking banger, man. I say, you know what, I throw that term around.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Too loose, a little too loosely. Maybe you call it, call it what it is. You know, if it's a banger, it's a banger, it's a banger. I guess. But what is, you know, one of the kids. How do you use it? the term banger, Tramph. What's a banger to you?
Starting point is 00:53:53 Headbanger? Does that work? Yeah. It's got to be like a toe tap and kind of. Okay, well, this is, this one takes the cake, brother. Head banging. Totally. It's lit.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Are they still saying? Are they still saying? It's lit. It's lit. God, never, never again. I don't know. Nope. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:54:15 So. Rattle snake milk. Our official first country episode on this pod was all thanks to our buddy Mitch. He brought some tunes from this self-title from Rattlesnake Milk. These up-and-comers, darlings in the country, in the country world. And the southern, I guess southern, I don't know, Mitchell explains it all. This is like a specific flavor of country. It's not your Mississippi stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:46 It's your like South Texas country. Whatever. I don't know, dude. I still got so much to learn, Sensei. Okay, Mitch. But anyways, dude, yeah, this one's a, I fucking love this one, dude. Get ready for some hoot and hollering, all right? This track is called bank robber.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Yeah, cute. That's not a banger. That's a barn burner. I mean, fuck, dude. It's so great, man. It doesn't, yeah. I mean, that's, it's fantastic. I love the, uh,
Starting point is 00:57:45 I just loved, I loved the, you know, I loved all of it. Dude, surf guitar, I mean. Yeah, yeah. The way the guitar is just kind of, it's like a chicken picking kind of stuff almost. Yeah. That's something I just pulled out of my brain from my. Chicken picking, dude. That's a real, that's a real guitar style, chicken picking.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Okay. Which I think might be what we're hearing, dude. That just came out of my brain, the depths of my brain. Chicken picking, dude. Where did you get that from? I didn't make it up. That's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, That where'd you get it son?
Starting point is 00:58:17 It uses hybrid picking and string popping to create a fast percussive clucking sound. Gobbledy goop. I mean, do anything? Gobble, gobble. It's a fucking turkey, bro. God damn. It's not turkey picking. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:58:32 He really messed up. Well, cockadoodle do. There you go. But yeah, it was fantastic, man. That's great. And the yodling, you know, you don't hear yodeling too much. No, he's definitely not like that. No.

We did an episode on the cranberries a long time ago. And it was kind of a grab bag of
Starting point is 00:59:53 of a few records. I think I jumped around a little bit. But we're going to go back to their debut. Everybody else is doing it. So why can't we? Came out in 1993. That's the year. That's the year of this episode, dude. Wow. So I didn't play this track on the record. So we're going to play it now. And dude, I just listened to this the other day all the way through. This track
Starting point is 01:00:13 just, I don't know, man. There's just something about it, dude. About this album or this track? This album, but this track in particular is just so great, man. So here we go. All right, this is the cranberries, and this song is called Sunday. You just sunda the same umbrella as a shit, man. The Sundays, I mean, that Sunday's album came out.
Starting point is 01:03:25 That's the name of the song, a year. Wow. Came out, I think, a year before this one, blind, that album Blind by the Sundays. It sounds very much like Lingert. Kameitra. It does. I mean, is that not on the same album or is it? It is, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Yeah, it does. But, you know, it does some different things. I like it. I mean, you can't not like it. It's the fucking cranberries, dude. Yeah, man. I mean, she's just, I mean, what a standout vocalist, man. Totally.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Zombie gives me the chills every time I hear it. A lot of their music just, yeah, man. I mean, I know that we tossed this term around Lucy Ging. do it. Just drop it again, dude. Drop it. Pick it up. It just has very haunting locals, you know. Very. And that's the thing. Some of the tracks we played, we played this song called Pretty, which is actually the very next track on the record.
Starting point is 01:04:18 And, man, the way she punctuated, she does the same thing where it's like soft, and then she does a really loud sort of like, you know, she brings in sort of the Irish, you know, folklore-type scene quality that just made them so different. and like special. But yeah, man. What in a phenomenal record. That's a, that's a no-fieler record for sure, man.
Starting point is 01:04:42 And dreams and linger are some of the defining tracks of that decade, you know. So linger for sure. Totally. Oh, for sure. One billion, dude. You know, a billion and 400, somehow thousand change plays on Spotify. Yeah, that's bananas, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:00 B-A-N. A-N. A-N. Yes. All right, man. So anyway, that was Sunday by the cranberries. And where are we going for our last pick here, Q? All right, man.
Starting point is 01:05:11 So I'm bringing up Wishy again. We're not playing another Wishy song. You son of a. No, no, no, no. Listen, okay. Okay. So last month, I brought that new song, All the Raged by Wishy. And I quoted the singer, don't have his name, Kevin, Kevin Crowder,
Starting point is 01:05:30 quoted him as saying, that major inspo from these two, bands, Artificial Go and Good Flying Birds. He saw them play a show. And that was some inspiration for the sound, I guess, and that all the rage single. So anyways, I obviously, dude, I went back and listened to those bands. And I'm bringing a song from Good Flying Birds off of an album that came out last year called Tallulah's Tape. And yeah, man, here we go. This one's called Every Day is Another. classic twee right there cue classic tweet there it is
Starting point is 01:08:37 I love it that's now that to me that's bedroom pop in my that is oh yeah and that's because it sounds very DIY and that's yeah that's what I think of that's why I think of that yeah that's gotta be where yeah you're right dude bedroom pop
Starting point is 01:08:53 hello but I think bedroom though also tended to at least in like the in 2009 early 2010 it was washed out yeah it was like it was like so artists making music on their on their laptops in their room yes they could have maybe something like an eight track yeah yeah right yeah so anyway but i don't know i yeah i tend to yeah that's why probably why um beauty queen used the term lofi too because that's another way to describe that kind of
Starting point is 01:09:20 sound yeah like the DIY sound but um yeah man that was great well well they call it they call themselves midwest jangle noise pop jangle there you go jangle there it is dude twee and jangle good flying birds at AOL.com, Trev. Bullshit. Hey, dude. That's what it says, right here. What is AOL not, can you not get an email? I didn't think you could give an AOL email address anymore.
Starting point is 01:09:45 I don't know. Maybe so, maybe so. Maybe they've been around since that. But yeah, you don't do that without intent. You know what I mean? Right. They're speaking to our generation. Totally.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Because we all had AOL email addresses back. Well, either that or Yahoo. I also had a Hotmail at some point. Remember Hotmail? I still have Hotmail, dude. Do you really? Yeah, I do. I still have it.
Starting point is 01:10:07 I still have it. I still have my main email. Dude. So you log into Hotmail? No, if you type in Hotmail, I'll come at direction, redirect you to Outlook. Oh, okay. But I still have my email domain from at Hotmail. Got it.
Starting point is 01:10:21 I've had it for that long. Yeah, yeah, love the track. I totally see the major inspo. Yeah, sure. That would be. Sorry, I'm distracted. Of course, you are. You're coding with Claude at the same fucking time.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Not coding with Claude. Not coding with Claude. I'm deriving Instagram. I'm even worse. Dude, you are, you terrible, man. You're worse than the fucking boomers, man. Well, I usually pull up, like, whatever band we're talking about. Sure.
Starting point is 01:10:47 And then I just get a little sign track. Uh-huh. But, yes, of course, dude. I mean, look at that. They even look like they're playing a house show in that video right there. I mean, that's a house show for sure. but um yeah look at these picks man look at those boys look at the house dude look at them this just makes me happy dude look at these young whippersnappers dude these wippersnappers dude they gotta be
Starting point is 01:11:11 in their early they gotta be in their early 20s man oh 100% yeah dude dude love it yeah love it i hope that um kids are all right kids are all right yeah kids are all right i hope the train continues man i think it will i think there's going to be a huge i think ronan's generation is going to give a huge fucking middle finger to all things like automated and you're probably right really dude and i think they're going to i think that's they're going to be a huge uh you think about desire to own physical things again yeah think about this man like you know when you're a kid and you're a teenager especially like he whatever your parents are doing you don't want to do it you know what i mean you don't want to do that right that's that's lame
Starting point is 01:11:55 technology, social media, to think that social media could be considered something for the last generation, the last generation did that. Our generation is not doing that. I could see that happen. I mean, Facebook was basically taken over by boomers anyway. Yes. That's their, you know, that's their social media network.
Starting point is 01:12:16 I'm just saying, I can imagine perhaps Gen A, Gen Alpha, which I guess is your kids. Oh, dude. Just being like, just fuck. all of it. River just made it under. She was almost going to be in Generation Beta. She would have been a different generation than her brother. But I'm just looking at that right now. Generation Alpha is 2013 to 2025. Okay. Anyway, yeah. I'll, dude, I'll welcome it, man. Exactly. And then I'll just be tech support for the rest of my life because they won't know how to do anything. Do you know that technically millennials are Generation Y? Yes, of course. Gen Y. I didn't know that. Well, yeah, dude. Which one
Starting point is 01:12:55 came after us, Gen Z. And which one came before? It's Gen X. That's how it works. Just nobody ever called this Gen Y. We're like, you know, we're just millennials, man. Anyway. So then after beta is going to be, what, Zeta?
Starting point is 01:13:08 Alpha Beta Zeta. I guess so. Yeah, they're just called Gen Z. Kappa. Anyway. Yeah, man. Good times. It's a good song to close.
Starting point is 01:13:19 How are we going to wrap it up, dude? We could do another ace of bass song, dude. And he's fucking for a... Oh, you're that. I thought you were frozen, dude. You were not moving a single muscle. All right. Well, that'll do it for this month's.
Starting point is 01:13:36 What you heard. And I'm stoked about our next deep dive queue. I've been talking about it. I wanted us to record the deep dive before we recorded this one. That's how I was how eager I was to share these tunes of you. We're going to be talking about a group called Days of the New. We're going to talk about their 1997 self-titled record. And I'm stoked, dude.
Starting point is 01:14:03 It's this very, very unique blend, perfect, the perfect harmony of grunge and country. Southern, Southern. I don't want to say country necessarily. Hey, now. So this is going to be all over. and rock kind of situation with very, very incredible harmonizing that kind of is reminiscent of Allison Chains, harmonizing.
Starting point is 01:14:30 But anyway, that's going to be good times. So that'll be our next deep dive. But until then, check us out on the Pantheon podcast network.
