[0:01:50 – 0:01:51] Erik: Boy, I don’t know.
[0:01:51 – 0:01:53] Erik: Every time I watch that one, I feel more…
[0:01:56 – 0:01:57] Erik: Connected to it.
[0:01:57 – 0:01:59] Erik: I feel like it means more to me.
[0:01:59 – 0:02:01] Erik: And I don’t know.
[0:02:02 – 0:02:10] Erik: It’s always like, I don’t know if it’s just any of his movies, but it feels like every time I watch it, it’s like, is this my favorite of his?
[0:02:11 – 0:02:38] Erik: i know so many options well we will talk about it in uh in depth which will most likely just be uh you know us uh throwing quotes back and forth and yes glowing over it but i do have some actual questions upon uh a little bit more of a i wouldn’t say critical viewing but i was taking notes so you know there’s some questions i wasn’t taking too many notes
[0:02:38 – 0:02:38] Erik: That’s all right.
[0:02:38 – 0:02:41] Erik: I feel like it’s not one of those movies that you’re only going to watch once.
[0:02:42 – 0:02:43] Adam: I feel like I can quote it.
[0:02:44 – 0:02:44] Erik: Yeah, totally.
[0:02:44 – 0:02:55] Erik: Could easily just forget if you didn’t take notes like most of the movies that we watch on Tumble Home Cinema Classics, which is just so forgettable.
[0:02:55 – 0:03:01] Adam: Don’t get too many movies that have won multiple Academy Awards on Tumble Home Cinema Classics here in the mezzanine.
[0:03:01 – 0:03:05] Adam: So I’m pretty excited to discuss a true piece of art.
[0:03:06 – 0:03:22] Erik: yes truly truly and yeah with uh with all that being known we’re going to continue our uh what we’re calling this uh it’s just a pop culture week in the shed here we’re very cultured very cultured as we uh
[0:03:24 – 0:03:24] Erik: Grow ever closer.
[0:03:24 – 0:03:26] Adam: Like a fine wine or a good cottage cheese.
[0:03:27 – 0:03:29] Erik: Oh, is there such a thing?
[0:03:30 – 0:03:30] Adam: Yeah, they’re both.
[0:03:30 – 0:03:33] Adam: Aged cottage cheese, like the older, it does get better?
[0:03:34 – 0:03:35] Adam: Ooh.
[0:03:35 – 0:03:36] Erik: On second thought.
[0:03:36 – 0:03:38] Adam: I don’t know about that, actually, now that we’re thinking about it.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:40] Adam: It is cultured, though.
[0:03:40 – 0:03:43] Adam: It’s got, what do you call them?
[0:03:46 – 0:03:46] Adam: Biotics.
[0:03:46 – 0:03:47] Adam: Biotics.

[0:03:49 – 0:03:51] Erik: Yeah, I am rich with biotics.
[0:03:51 – 0:03:53] Erik: My biome.
[0:03:53 – 0:03:58] Erik: I’m not drinking one of those biome-friendly sodas tonight, but it’s still with me.
[0:03:58 – 0:03:59] Erik: It’s still in there.
[0:04:01 – 0:04:01] Erik: I can assure you.
[0:04:02 – 0:04:04] Adam: Yeah, we’re just biotics wearing a human suit.
[0:04:04 – 0:04:05] Adam: Just all biotics.
[0:04:06 – 0:04:07] Adam: All the way down.

[0:06:15 – 0:06:15] Erik: Keep on peeking.
[0:06:16 – 0:06:18] Adam: They wrote it on the back of the note, too, so you have to peek the note.

[0:06:20 – 0:06:20] Adam: He was peeking.
[0:06:20 – 0:06:22] Adam: I saw Eric’s head go, huh?
[0:06:22 – 0:06:23] Erik: What’s that?
[0:06:23 – 0:06:26] Erik: Those look like some big silver bullets there.
[0:06:26 – 0:06:30] Adam: We got ourselves some Lincoln Highway American pale ales.
[0:06:30 – 0:06:31] Adam: An APA.
[0:06:32 – 0:06:33] Adam: The Art History Brewing.
[0:06:33 – 0:06:34] Adam: Wow.
[0:06:34 – 0:06:36] Adam: That does look like Art Deco.
[0:06:36 – 0:06:38] Adam: Am I wrong?
[0:06:39 – 0:06:40] Adam: Art Deco window paneling.
[0:06:40 – 0:06:41] Adam: Up top, for sure.
[0:06:43 – 0:06:48] Adam: Yeah, it looks like something Frank Lloyd Wright would have designed down in Spring Green while he’s in one of his manic episodes.
[0:06:50 – 0:06:51] Adam: That sociopath.
[0:06:51 – 0:06:57] Erik: It also looks like maybe a Frank Lloyd Wright designed gas station on the can, too, because he’s got one of those.
[0:06:57 – 0:06:57] Adam: Lincoln Highway.
[0:06:58 – 0:07:00] Adam: Is the Lincoln Highway…
[0:07:02 – 0:07:02] Adam: 80?
[0:07:03 – 0:07:04] Adam: Or is it 66?
[0:07:04 – 0:07:06] Adam: Is it 66 counts, the Lincoln Highway?
[0:07:06 – 0:07:08] Erik: You know, I honestly do not know.
[0:07:08 – 0:07:09] Erik: Does it say on there?
[0:07:09 – 0:07:11] Adam: Do you ever watch Carnival?
[0:07:12 – 0:07:12] Erik: No, never.
[0:07:12 – 0:07:13] Erik: Oh, my God.
[0:07:15 – 0:07:22] Adam: I saw a post on Reddit the other day, and it was like, what’s one of the shows that ended but that you wanted to continue the most?
[0:07:23 – 0:07:27] Adam: And I had to scroll a bit, but there’s a lot of people in there voting for Carnival because…
[0:07:27 – 0:07:29] Adam: Ended in season two and quite the cliffhanger.
[0:07:29 – 0:07:31] Adam: Never came back.
[0:07:31 – 0:07:40] Adam: The creator of the show had famously said it was going to be three different separate stories, but two seasons of each story.
[0:07:40 – 0:07:42] Adam: So it should have been six to tell the full tale.
[0:07:43 – 0:07:45] Adam: And it was just cut short.
[0:07:45 – 0:07:46] Erik: Is that on HBO?
[0:07:46 – 0:07:47] Adam: Yep.
[0:07:47 – 0:07:48] Adam: Those sons of bitches.
[0:07:48 – 0:07:53] Adam: And somebody else was like, well, maybe somebody will buy it off them and finish it finally.
[0:07:53 – 0:07:56] Adam: Or just make a movie out of it or something, HBO, to wrap it up.
[0:07:56 – 0:07:57] Adam: I’ve got to find out what happens.
[0:07:57 – 0:08:00] Erik: Yeah, how many years ago did they cancel it though?
[0:08:00 – 0:08:02] Adam: Hasn’t it been like 15, 20 years?
[0:08:02 – 0:08:05] Adam: That was like 2005 was the last season of the Carnival.
[0:08:06 – 0:08:13] Adam: But I believe the Carnival itself was traveling the Lincoln Highway, which makes me think it was – they’re like in middle America.
[0:08:13 – 0:08:16] Adam: So I want to say it’s like what turned into I-70 or I-80.
[0:08:16 – 0:08:16] Erik: Sure.
[0:08:17 – 0:08:18] Erik: Where are those from?
[0:08:19 – 0:08:20] Adam: Art History Brewing.
[0:08:20 – 0:08:21] Adam: Let’s pull one out of the pack here.
[0:08:21 – 0:08:23] Adam: It’s a four-pack of big guys here.
[0:08:24 – 0:08:25] Erik: That’s your big boy.
[0:08:25 – 0:08:26] Adam: Some big guys here.
[0:08:26 – 0:08:26] Adam: Hmm.
[0:08:31 – 0:08:33] Erik: Spared no expenses on the color.
[0:08:33 – 0:08:34] Adam: Geneva, Illinois.
[0:08:35 – 0:08:35] Adam: Geneva.
[0:08:36 – 0:08:37] Erik: Well, Lincoln, you know.
[0:08:37 – 0:08:38] Adam: Geneva Lager Works.
[0:08:39 – 0:08:40] Adam: Geneva, Illinois.
[0:08:40 – 0:08:41] Adam: Okay.
[0:08:41 – 0:08:42] Adam: All right.
[0:08:43 – 0:08:44] Adam: I’ve never seen this before.
[0:08:44 – 0:08:45] Adam: Never heard of it before, but…
[0:08:46 – 0:08:52] Adam: My understanding, if I recall, the carnival in Carnival was traveling the Lincoln Highway.
[0:08:53 – 0:08:53] Adam: Sure.
[0:08:54 – 0:08:55] Erik: That would be like 80 then.
[0:08:55 – 0:08:57] Adam: I think it was the first transcontinental highway.
[0:08:58 – 0:09:00] Adam: I think Route 66 took all the fame.
[0:09:00 – 0:09:01] Adam: Transcontinental?
[0:09:02 – 0:09:06] Adam: I think the Lincoln Highway connected New York City to San Fran, I want to say.
[0:09:07 – 0:09:09] Adam: That’s just my guess off the top of the head, and I could be wrong.
[0:09:09 – 0:09:13] Adam: Feel free to fact check me on the fly or in the notes.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:15] Adam: I’m open to it, but…
[0:09:15 – 0:09:38] Adam: i think i’m on with this one let’s have a taste yeah maybe the taste will help yeah oh yeah it’s definitely i80 tastes like 80 ever driven i80 of course many times it’s pretty light it said what it was four uh 5.8 oh that’s a absolute best value yeah that’s a good value that’s a good value
[0:09:39 – 0:09:39] Adam: It’s pretty light.
[0:09:40 – 0:09:41] Adam: It is American pale ale.
[0:09:41 – 0:09:45] Adam: It’s definitely not like this jumbo two-hearted over here trying to beat you over the tongue.
[0:09:47 – 0:09:47] Erik: With a hop.
[0:09:47 – 0:09:48] Adam: With a hop.
[0:09:48 – 0:09:49] Adam: Yeah.
[0:09:49 – 0:09:51] Adam: This is more subdued.
[0:09:51 – 0:09:52] Adam: A lot like Lincoln himself.
[0:09:52 – 0:09:53] Erik: Yeah.
[0:09:53 – 0:09:54] Erik: Of course.
[0:09:54 – 0:09:55] Adam: Subdued but strong.
[0:09:55 – 0:09:56] Erik: There you go.
[0:09:57 – 0:09:57] Erik: Mmm.
[0:09:57 – 0:09:58] Erik: Mmm.
[0:10:00 – 0:10:02] Adam: Strong men also cry, Eric.
[0:10:02 – 0:10:02] Adam: Yes.
[0:10:02 – 0:10:05] Adam: Strong men also cry.
[0:10:08 – 0:10:10] Adam: Do my tears surprise you, sir?
[0:10:10 – 0:10:12] Adam: All right.
[0:10:12 – 0:10:12] Adam: Jesus.
[0:10:13 – 0:10:15] Adam: Thank you, Gobi, in my pants.
[0:10:16 – 0:10:18] Adam: I’m going to enjoy the heck out of these.
[0:10:19 – 0:10:21] Adam: Yeah, it’s a pretty subdued can.
[0:10:21 – 0:10:22] Erik: Yeah, it’s all gray.
[0:10:22 – 0:10:23] Adam: Is this in black and white?
[0:10:23 – 0:10:25] Adam: This looks like a Ken Burns documentary.
[0:10:27 – 0:10:29] Adam: There is a Ken Burns documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright.
[0:10:29 – 0:10:30] Adam: It’s pretty good.
[0:10:30 – 0:10:31] Erik: Oh, I haven’t seen that one.
[0:10:31 – 0:10:33] Erik: I thought you were going to say the Interstate System.
[0:10:34 – 0:10:36] Adam: There probably is one in the Interstate System, too.
[0:10:37 – 0:10:40] Erik: Dwight D. Eisenhower is a major focal point of that.
[0:10:40 – 0:10:47] Adam: He warned us of the dangers of the military-industrial complex and also built us the Interstates and all of the Flying Jays.
[0:10:47 – 0:10:47] Adam: Yep.
[0:10:48 – 0:10:48] Adam: Thank you, Dwight.
[0:10:49 – 0:10:51] Erik: What do you think Dwight Eisenhower would think about a Buc-ee’s?
[0:10:54 – 0:10:56] Erik: It’s a front to the whole system.
[0:10:57 – 0:10:58] Erik: Have you ever been to a Buc-ee’s?
[0:10:58 – 0:11:02] Adam: He’s probably buying vapes at a Buc-ee’s in his dreams in the grave.
[0:11:03 – 0:11:04] Erik: In his grave dreams?
[0:11:04 – 0:11:04] Erik: Grave dreams.
[0:11:04 – 0:11:08] Erik: Dwight Eisenhower is buying a bunch of vapes.
[0:11:08 – 0:11:09] Erik: Yeah, yeah.
[0:11:09 – 0:11:12] Erik: I’ll have one of the cotton candies, please.
[0:11:12 – 0:11:16] Adam: We do have a bag from a come and go in the mini fridge.
[0:11:16 – 0:11:19] Adam: That’s the only bag in there that’s not brown bagged.
[0:11:19 – 0:11:20] Erik: Come and go.
[0:11:20 – 0:11:21] Erik: Pump and munch.
[0:11:21 – 0:11:22] Adam: Pump and munch.
[0:11:23 – 0:11:25] Erik: The list goes on.
[0:11:26 – 0:11:26] Erik: Casey’s.
[0:11:27 – 0:11:27] Erik: Casey’s.
[0:11:28 – 0:11:29] Erik: Casey’s still around?
[0:11:29 – 0:11:30] Adam: As far as I know, they are.
[0:11:30 – 0:11:31] Erik: Small town.
[0:11:31 – 0:11:35] Erik: That’s small potatoes compared to your Buc-ee’s and your Quick Trips and your…
[0:11:36 – 0:11:37] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:11:37 – 0:11:37] Erik: What’s another?
[0:11:37 – 0:11:40] Erik: Yeah, like you said, there’s Flying Jays and Pilots.
[0:11:41 – 0:11:41] Erik: Loves.
[0:11:42 – 0:11:42] Erik: Loves.
[0:11:42 – 0:11:43] Erik: Those are nasty.
[0:11:43 – 0:11:43] Erik: Oh, my God.
[0:11:43 – 0:11:44] Erik: Those ones are crazy.
[0:11:44 – 0:11:46] Adam: You’re going to get robbed out of Loves.
[0:11:46 – 0:11:50] Erik: There’s like trucker napping stations and showers and gambling dens.
[0:11:50 – 0:11:53] Adam: You use a Hardee’s burger as a pillow.
[0:11:53 – 0:11:55] Erik: Oh, great.
[0:11:56 – 0:11:58] Erik: Are there still Hardee’s or are they all Carl’s Jr.?
[0:11:58 – 0:11:58] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:11:58 – 0:12:01] Adam: I think there’s still a few Hardee’s holding out.
[0:12:01 – 0:12:03] Adam: There’s Hardee’s Strongholds.
[0:12:03 – 0:12:04] Adam: Frisco Burger for life, bro.
[0:12:04 – 0:12:05] Adam: Frisco Burger for life.
[0:12:05 – 0:12:06] Adam: Any truckers out there?
[0:12:06 – 0:12:09] Adam: Anybody trucking and listening to this crazy show?
[0:12:09 – 0:12:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:12:09 – 0:12:10] Erik: Convoy, baby.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:11] Adam: Got to be a real weird situation.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:12] Adam: Probably.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:13] Adam: Toot toot.
[0:12:13 – 0:12:14] Adam: Toot toot.
[0:12:14 – 0:12:15] Adam: Good luck.
[0:12:16 – 0:12:24] Adam: Anyways, if you’re listening on the open highway, life is a highway, and I’m going to ride it all night long, Eric.
[0:12:25 – 0:12:28] Erik: Was that John Mellencamp or John Cougar Mellencamp?
[0:12:29 – 0:12:31] Erik: Was he on his Cougar stage when he wrote that one?
[0:12:31 – 0:12:32] Adam: Yeah, I think it was Cougan.
[0:12:32 – 0:12:32] Erik: Cougan.
[0:12:33 – 0:12:33] Erik: Cougan.
[0:12:33 – 0:12:35] Adam: And West on I-80.
[0:12:35 – 0:12:44] Adam: Yeah, you’re going to want to put on some of these tunes because we’re about to drop the album of the summer, Volume 4.
[0:12:45 – 0:12:46] Erik: Album of the Summer, Volume 4.
[0:12:46 – 0:12:50] Erik: Yeah, the title of the episode has given it away, but… Not fooling these.
[0:12:51 – 0:12:52] Adam: These listeners are very sharp.
[0:12:52 – 0:12:54] Erik: Nah, getting fooled.
[0:12:54 – 0:12:55] Erik: Sucking on a chili dog?
[0:12:55 – 0:12:56] Erik: Wasn’t that a lyric?
[0:12:57 – 0:12:58] Erik: I don’t know what he’s talking about there.
[0:12:59 – 0:13:00] Adam: Life is a Highway?
[0:13:00 – 0:13:04] Erik: I think he starts off one of his songs with Sucking on a Chili Dog.
[0:13:04 – 0:13:05] Adam: Sucking on a Chili Dog.
[0:13:05 – 0:13:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:13:06 – 0:13:07] Erik: You got it.
[0:13:07 – 0:13:08] Erik: You know that one.
[0:13:08 – 0:13:08] Adam: Nailed it.
[0:13:09 – 0:13:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:13:09 – 0:13:13] Erik: I think that one’s called Chili Dogs in Paradise and White Fences.
[0:13:14 – 0:13:15] Adam: Picket Fences.
[0:13:15 – 0:13:15] Erik: Picket.
[0:13:15 – 0:13:17] Erik: White Picket Fences.
[0:13:17 – 0:13:17] Erik: Yeah.
[0:13:17 – 0:13:20] Adam: Cover the White Picket Fence with Chili also.
[0:13:20 – 0:13:21] Adam: Gross.
[0:13:22 – 0:13:23] Adam: Goddamn love this country.
[0:13:24 – 0:13:24] Erik: Yeah.
[0:13:24 – 0:13:29] Adam: I got a lot of hope for this country when I see chili spilled all over the white picket fence like Tom Sawyer would have wanted.
[0:13:30 – 0:13:32] Erik: Yeah, speaking of fences, I’m on it.
[0:13:32 – 0:13:33] Adam: I am.
[0:13:33 – 0:13:35] Erik: I’m riding it.
[0:13:35 – 0:13:36] Erik: I’m going to ride it.
[0:13:37 – 0:13:40] Erik: Riding that fence or chili dog?
[0:13:40 – 0:13:41] Adam: I’m riding that chili dog.
[0:13:41 – 0:13:42] Adam: Riding that chili dog.
[0:13:42 – 0:13:43] Adam: All the way out to Denver.
[0:13:43 – 0:13:44] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:13:45 – 0:13:45] Erik: Yeah.
[0:13:45 – 0:13:46] Adam: No, 80 doesn’t go through Denver.
[0:13:47 – 0:13:47] Adam: Maybe it’s 70.
[0:13:48 – 0:13:49] Adam: 70 is the Lincoln Highway.
[0:13:49 – 0:13:49] Adam: 70, yeah.
[0:13:49 – 0:13:50] Adam: It goes through the big pass.
[0:13:51 – 0:13:55] Erik: 80 goes towards Denver, and then you have to take 76 and cut down through that.
[0:13:55 – 0:13:56] Adam: I’m not going on 76.
[0:13:56 – 0:13:58] Erik: Yeah, there ain’t much on that stretch of highway.
[0:13:58 – 0:13:59] Adam: That is some trash heap.
[0:13:59 – 0:14:01] Adam: Apologies to anybody listening on Route 76.
[0:14:01 – 0:14:04] Erik: I don’t think there’s anybody that really lives there, honestly.
[0:14:04 – 0:14:04] Adam: There isn’t.
[0:14:04 – 0:14:06] Adam: They don’t even have podcasts out there yet.
[0:14:06 – 0:14:08] Erik: No, they haven’t gotten the technology.
[0:14:09 – 0:14:11] Adam: We call them up on their landline and let them know about the show.
[0:14:11 – 0:14:12] Adam: Ring, ring.
[0:14:12 – 0:14:12] Adam: Ahoy, hoy.
[0:14:12 – 0:14:15] Adam: Hello, I want to talk to you about your favorite new show.
[0:14:17 – 0:14:22] Adam: It’s a radio novella called Tamble Home.
[0:14:22 – 0:14:23] Erik: Tamble Home.
[0:14:24 – 0:14:27] Adam: It’s just rolling on down the prairie in deer ears.
[0:14:29 – 0:14:33] Erik: So a friend of mine, before we get into, we are talking about the album of the summer.
[0:14:34 – 0:14:34] Adam: Of course.
[0:14:34 – 0:14:35] Erik: It’s music.
[0:14:35 – 0:14:47] Erik: It’s a break from the Boundary Waters because, you know, we get to this point in the season and just, you know, we want to tell everybody about some of our favorite albums from the summer just because we like to do that.
[0:14:48 – 0:14:53] Erik: And we just need to, you know, just take a little… We’re all about to have some fun.
[0:14:53 – 0:14:55] Erik: Just a relaxed, not going to take it too seriously.
[0:14:55 – 0:14:58] Erik: Not that we really ever take it too seriously, but…
[0:14:58 – 0:15:00] Adam: Yeah, now when Trevor’s not here to keep us in line.
[0:15:01 – 0:15:04] Erik: Yeah.
[0:15:04 – 0:15:08] Erik: I did get this screenshot of a text that a friend of mine at work received.
[0:15:09 – 0:15:09] Erik: Okay.
[0:15:09 – 0:15:12] Erik: And I’ll just show it to you.
[0:15:14 – 0:15:19] Erik: It’s kind of like, you know, everybody gets those text messages that are like, oh, hey, this is Amber.
[0:15:20 – 0:15:23] Erik: I’ve had your number in my phone for like two and a half months.
[0:15:23 – 0:15:25] Erik: And I’m just, well, I just want to see who this is.
[0:15:25 – 0:15:30] Erik: And it’s always like that long con, like, what do they call it?
[0:15:30 – 0:15:31] Erik: Like pig harvesting.
[0:15:31 – 0:15:34] Adam: Is Barack Obama trying to like invite this person into a threesome?
[0:15:35 – 0:15:35] Adam: What’s happening?
[0:15:35 – 0:15:36] Erik: I’m not sure.
[0:15:36 – 0:15:38] Erik: But yeah, it’s a picture of Barack Obama.
[0:15:38 – 0:15:41] Erik: Because whenever I text people, I attach a photo of myself.
[0:15:42 – 0:15:43] Erik: And she says, it’s Barack Obama.
[0:15:43 – 0:15:44] Erik: I won’t mince words.
[0:15:44 – 0:15:48] Erik: These past few months, Michelle and I have begun to open up our marriage.
[0:15:48 – 0:15:49] Erik: And we need you.
[0:15:49 – 0:15:52] Erik: I was like, what?
[0:15:52 – 0:15:52] Erik: Okay.
[0:15:52 – 0:15:53] Erik: First question.

[0:16:02 – 0:16:03] Erik: Basically see where things go.
[0:16:03 – 0:16:04] Erik: Okay.
[0:16:04 – 0:16:10] Erik: I also could just be getting like, this was just a deep meme that’s being pretended to be like a fake interview.

[0:16:35 – 0:16:37] Erik: I don’t believe it, but I want to know where it came from.
[0:16:37 – 0:16:38] Erik: I’m sure it’s just, you know.
[0:16:38 – 0:16:39] Adam: Can we both go?
[0:16:40 – 0:16:41] Adam: I just, I also love that there is.
[0:16:41 – 0:16:44] Adam: Let’s take the Lincoln Highway down to Chicago, Eric.
[0:16:44 – 0:16:50] Erik: I also love that there is still the option for responding stop to not getting the messages anymore.
[0:16:51 – 0:16:51] Adam: Stop.
[0:16:52 – 0:16:52] Adam: Please stop.
[0:16:52 – 0:16:53] Adam: Barack, stop.
[0:16:53 – 0:16:54] Adam: That’s enough.
[0:16:54 – 0:16:57] Erik: I’m in a very happy relationship myself.
[0:16:57 – 0:16:57] Adam: I’m committed.
[0:16:57 – 0:16:58] Adam: Thank you very much.
[0:16:58 – 0:17:00] Adam: And also, I’m not going to Chicago in August.
[0:17:00 – 0:17:01] Adam: What are you, nuts?
[0:17:01 – 0:17:02] Erik: No.
[0:17:02 – 0:17:04] Erik: I’m not going to Chicago really ever, I don’t think.
[0:17:05 – 0:17:06] Adam: Yeah, Life is a Highway.
[0:17:07 – 0:17:08] Adam: Sucking on a chili dog.
[0:17:08 – 0:17:11] Adam: Or ride it all the way down to Chi-Town.
[0:17:12 – 0:17:13] Erik: Is Life is a Highway?
[0:17:14 – 0:17:16] Adam: That’s not John Cougar Mellencamp, is it?
[0:17:16 – 0:17:16] Erik: I don’t think it is.
[0:17:17 – 0:17:18] Erik: Who the hell sings that song?
[0:17:19 – 0:17:21] Adam: Well, maybe it’s on our album of the summer.
[0:17:21 – 0:17:22] Adam: Doubt it.
[0:17:22 – 0:17:23] Adam: It’s definitely not.
[0:17:23 – 0:17:25] Adam: It’s on the Cars soundtrack.
[0:17:26 – 0:17:28] Adam: But it’s like a cover, though.
[0:17:28 – 0:17:28] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:17:28 – 0:17:31] Adam: I’m going to have to look on the break to see who wrote the original.
[0:17:31 – 0:17:32] Adam: It’s embarrassing that we don’t know this.
[0:17:33 – 0:17:33] Erik: I should know.
[0:17:34 – 0:17:36] Erik: As soon as I hear it, just look it up.
[0:17:37 – 0:17:37] Erik: I’m going to look it up.
[0:17:37 – 0:17:38] Erik: We got all night.
[0:17:38 – 0:17:41] Erik: We can look up some factoids like that.
[0:17:41 – 0:17:45] Erik: It’s not the guy who did all the 80s soundtracks, is it?
[0:17:47 – 0:17:48] Erik: Highway to the Danger Zone.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:49] Erik: It’s definitely not.
[0:17:49 – 0:17:49] Erik: No.
[0:17:50 – 0:17:51] Erik: It’s Tom Cochran.
[0:17:51 – 0:17:52] Erik: Tom Cochran.
[0:17:52 – 0:17:52] Erik: Canadian.
[0:17:53 – 0:17:53] Erik: Canadian.
[0:17:53 – 0:17:53] Erik: Canadian.
[0:17:53 – 0:17:54] Erik: Canadian.
[0:17:55 – 0:17:57] Adam: It was about the Trans-Canadian Highway.
[0:17:58 – 0:18:02] Adam: He wrote that while traveling through Atacocan at 38 kilometers an hour.
[0:18:02 – 0:18:05] Adam: Yeah, just passing by a crew of… Just heading out to Winterpeg.
[0:18:06 – 0:18:10] Erik: Greasy, greasy bearded fellows with their thumbs out.
[0:18:10 – 0:18:10] Erik: Yikes.
[0:18:12 – 0:18:14] Adam: Can we have a ride to NIMH, sir?
[0:18:15 – 0:18:16] Erik: Just got to get back out to NIMH.
[0:18:16 – 0:18:17] Erik: Just wait for the OPP.
[0:18:17 – 0:18:19] Erik: Yeah, you know me.
[0:18:19 – 0:18:19] Erik: They’ll be along their way.
[0:18:20 – 0:18:21] Adam: Yeah, you know me.
[0:18:22 – 0:18:42] Erik: um i don’t know there’s never really been like any uh context for this or parameters it’s just one of those things that i barack texted you back in uh i i texted quit oh no no stop to quit to stop i thought i saw you type out yes with three s’s and the emoji with the big uh lustful tongue
[0:18:46 – 0:19:08] Erik: i just texted back a voice memo you’re just pounding your chest and yelling do you ever do that where you you’re like texting somebody and then accidentally like you put your phone away and then like you pull it back out like a half hour and your phone has been recording like a 27 minute voice memo and you’re just like maybe i should just send it
[0:19:09 – 0:19:09] Adam: Send it.
[0:19:09 – 0:19:09] Adam: Who knows?
[0:19:10 – 0:19:11] Adam: It’ll probably be worth it.
[0:19:11 – 0:19:18] Erik: I got a voicemail the other day from a robot, and it was just the robot going, goodbye.
[0:19:18 – 0:19:19] Adam: Goodbye.
[0:19:19 – 0:19:21] Erik: I was like, eh.
[0:19:21 – 0:19:23] Erik: These are the kind of messages I love.
[0:19:23 – 0:19:25] Erik: I would just love to get more messages like that.
[0:19:25 – 0:19:26] Adam: I’ve known you a long time.
[0:19:26 – 0:19:28] Adam: I can’t believe you actually listened to a voicemail.
[0:19:29 – 0:19:30] Erik: Well, it was just the transcript, actually.
[0:19:30 – 0:19:31] Erik: Oh, there you go.
[0:19:31 – 0:19:32] Adam: Yeah.
[0:19:32 – 0:19:33] Adam: That makes sense.
[0:19:33 – 0:19:33] Erik: It checks.
[0:19:34 – 0:19:36] Erik: It just said goodbye, dot, dot, dot, in quotes.
[0:19:39 – 0:19:40] Adam: All right.
[0:19:40 – 0:19:40] Adam: Yeah.
[0:19:40 – 0:19:42] Adam: It was from Abraham Lincoln.
[0:19:42 – 0:19:43] Erik: Yes.
[0:19:43 – 0:19:52] Erik: Abraham Lincoln and Betsy Ross or whoever his significant other are open to doing a little 420 tonight, gents.
[0:19:53 – 0:19:54] Adam: Abigail Lincoln.
[0:19:54 – 0:19:55] Erik: Abigail.
[0:19:55 – 0:19:56] Erik: Is that her name?
[0:19:57 – 0:19:58] Adam: I’m 30% confident.
[0:19:59 – 0:19:59] Erik: Yeah.
[0:19:59 – 0:20:04] Erik: There was only four female names in the 1800s, so we’ve got to be pretty close.
[0:20:04 – 0:20:05] Erik: Pretty close on that one.
[0:20:05 – 0:20:07] Erik: Either Abigail, Betsy, or…
[0:20:10 – 0:20:31] Erik: agatha no it wasn’t agatha my dearest agatha i’m not gonna talk about that we’re not gonna talk about that ah so yeah we’re gonna just talk about the the albums that have been getting us through this summer it’s one of my uh it’s a hobby right can you count that as a hobby remember when we used to do radio shows and play the music on the radio
[0:20:31 – 0:20:32] Erik: I miss those days, yeah.
[0:20:32 – 0:20:35] Adam: Yeah, making a playlist is something about it.
[0:20:35 – 0:20:43] Adam: These are nowadays, and I’ve always been this way of like, I just generally like to listen to full albums, which is why it works so well for album of the summer.
[0:20:44 – 0:20:56] Adam: But there is something I do miss about doing the radio or we’re trying to make playlists and blend songs from other artists into each other that makes sense in a way that is pleasing to the ear.
[0:20:56 – 0:20:59] Erik: Yeah, especially when you get a big block like we used to have, the three hours.
[0:20:59 – 0:21:00] Adam: Three hours.
[0:21:00 – 0:21:11] Adam: You can play crazy 25-minute sets of a couple real long songs and a couple little songs in there, and then you could sneak in a little audio clip from Stranger Things Season 1.
[0:21:11 – 0:21:13] Erik: You always had those ones, right?
[0:21:13 – 0:21:13] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:13 – 0:21:16] Erik: Just always little interludes of the older buyers.
[0:21:16 – 0:21:20] Adam: When like Winona Ryder was talking about how much she wanted to, you know, eat some pizza biters.
[0:21:20 – 0:21:20] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:21 – 0:21:21] Adam: You know.
[0:21:22 – 0:21:22] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:22 – 0:21:29] Erik: I mean, and there was always something, you know, towards the end of it, we were, you know, a little bit more something to do with like a theme or.
[0:21:29 – 0:21:33] Adam: Yeah, we did year themes a lot on the Monday night shows.
[0:21:33 – 0:21:33] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:21:34 – 0:21:38] Erik: I found a lot of good music from doing those where we just random number generator.
[0:21:39 – 0:21:41] Erik: Oh, we’re going to look into the albums of 1985.
[0:21:41 – 0:21:42] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:42 – 0:21:44] Adam: Dive real deep into the Smiths.
[0:21:45 – 0:21:45] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:45 – 0:21:47] Erik: Oh, Meat Puppets, the Mekons.
[0:21:47 – 0:21:47] Erik: What?
[0:21:48 – 0:21:49] Erik: Never really listened to these guys.
[0:21:49 – 0:21:50] Erik: Spend some time with those and…
[0:21:51 – 0:22:16] Adam: yeah it’s i miss those days you know it’s just we’re all still around it just nobody’s got time for that no more and also now i’m not confident i would really know how to run the board anymore either you have to get retrained in i have to get retrained in by jeff nimitz jeff are you out there are you listening engineer sound pro sound engineer wtip jeff yeah yeah i mean i’m sure we’d still be all right doing it it’s just i could probably the time figure it out you know
[0:22:17 – 0:22:21] Adam: Yeah, also, who can stay up until 10 p.m. on a work night?
[0:22:21 – 0:22:25] Erik: Yeah, those were Saturday nights, which is not a Saturday night for you.
[0:22:25 – 0:22:26] Adam: No, I work Sundays now.
[0:22:26 – 0:22:27] Erik: Yeah.
[0:22:27 – 0:22:29] Adam: Well, for only a little bit longer.
[0:22:29 – 0:22:35] Adam: I looked at the 10-day forecast, and the 10-day forecast now includes the baby’s due date.
[0:22:36 – 0:22:36] Adam: Uh-oh.

[0:23:01 – 0:23:03] Adam: Until people start dying off.
[0:23:04 – 0:23:05] Adam: Oh, that’s a different kind, though.
[0:23:06 – 0:23:08] Adam: This is one you can plan for a little bit at least.
[0:23:08 – 0:23:09] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:23:10 – 0:23:11] Adam: I’m pretty excited.
[0:23:12 – 0:23:13] Adam: We’re both very excited.
[0:23:13 – 0:23:18] Adam: Any day now, it’s crazy how fast that snuck up on us.
[0:23:18 – 0:23:26] Adam: It seems like it was not too long ago we found out the good news and nine months have now passed.
[0:23:26 – 0:23:27] Adam: We do have…
[0:23:29 – 0:23:34] Adam: Just a minor side programming note, we have recorded some shows to publish.

[0:24:03 – 0:24:04] Adam: Yeah, all night long, Eric.
[0:24:05 – 0:24:08] Erik: Yeah, well, we’re just going to pretend like we’re back in the WTAP studio here.
[0:24:08 – 0:24:10] Adam: I’m pretty excited talking music, though.
[0:24:10 – 0:24:10] Adam: It’s great.
[0:24:10 – 0:24:12] Adam: I had to look back.
[0:24:12 – 0:24:14] Adam: How many years have we been doing albums in the summer?
[0:24:14 – 0:24:14] Adam: Four.
[0:24:14 – 0:24:19] Adam: I think the first album this summer, we just sort of randomly did one on the beach at Mink Lake.
[0:24:19 – 0:24:20] Erik: Is that true?
[0:24:20 – 0:24:21] Erik: We just met there.
[0:24:21 – 0:24:22] Adam: I’m like, what do you want to talk about?
[0:24:22 – 0:24:22] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:24:23 – 0:24:25] Adam: I’m listening to this new album.
[0:24:25 – 0:24:26] Adam: And then we just talked about music for an hour.
[0:24:26 – 0:24:27] Adam: And I’m like, that’s good enough.
[0:24:27 – 0:24:30] Adam: I mean, I got nothing as far as talking about paddling right now.
[0:24:30 – 0:24:33] Adam: I can’t take life too serious in the middle of August.
[0:24:33 – 0:24:34] Erik: Yeah, it’s a good time for it.
[0:24:35 – 0:24:35] Adam: It is.
[0:24:35 – 0:24:37] Adam: And album of the summer.
[0:24:37 – 0:24:39] Adam: I mean, everybody out there can understand the concept.
[0:24:40 – 0:24:42] Adam: You’re driving around in your truck.
[0:24:43 – 0:24:50] Adam: I’m driving around in my pickup truck wearing my blue jeans with all the windows down, listening to music at full blast, blowing my speakers out.
[0:24:50 – 0:24:53] Erik: Yeah, no, you’re just quoting John Cougar Mellencamp songs.
[0:24:53 – 0:24:54] Adam: Can’t help myself, Eric.
[0:24:55 – 0:24:58] Erik: Blue jeans, hair flapping in the breeze.
[0:24:58 – 0:25:01] Adam: Yeah.
[0:25:01 – 0:25:02] Adam: And so then we did it the next year.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:08] Adam: And then now it’s just an annual tradition on Humble Home and one of my favorite parts of the show.
[0:25:08 – 0:25:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:09 – 0:25:10] Erik: Tradition like none other.
[0:25:10 – 0:25:19] Adam: I feel like even when we’re on our, like in the field audio trips, we talk a lot about music, you know, and we’ve always had the background of being on WTIP playing music.
[0:25:19 – 0:25:28] Adam: And one of the things that we like bonded over when we first met way back in the day is, you know, what kind of music you like, you know, everybody likes to talk music.
[0:25:28 – 0:25:30] Erik: You think people would.
[0:25:30 – 0:25:30] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:30 – 0:25:31] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:25:31 – 0:25:35] Erik: There’s some people that I just don’t get that vibe from and I’m not sure what’s wrong with them.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:36] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:37 – 0:25:38] Adam: it’s always fun to check out new music.
[0:25:39 – 0:25:42] Adam: I mean, it really gets me going.
[0:25:42 – 0:25:44] Erik: It’s the spice of life, honestly.
[0:25:44 – 0:25:44] Erik: It is.
[0:25:44 – 0:25:45] Erik: The variety.
[0:25:45 – 0:25:47] Adam: I always got my classics.
[0:25:47 – 0:25:53] Adam: I got albums I go back to again and again and again year after year, but how do you go on without checking out new music?
[0:25:54 – 0:25:55] Erik: I don’t know how you go on without doing that.
[0:25:55 – 0:25:57] Adam: Just listening to Kid Rock for the rest of my life?
[0:25:57 – 0:25:57] Adam: Get a life.
[0:25:57 – 0:25:58] Adam: Grow up.
[0:25:58 – 0:25:59] Erik: Yeah, exactly.
[0:26:00 – 0:26:00] Erik: Yeah.
[0:26:00 – 0:26:06] Erik: I mean, the one thing I’d miss most is just actually being in the same space and getting to listen to the music together.
[0:26:06 – 0:26:08] Erik: Like that’s the first few years at Clearwater.
[0:26:08 – 0:26:12] Erik: That’s what we would do every night after work.
[0:26:12 – 0:26:15] Adam: Yeah, play a little hacky sack, listen to some good music.
[0:26:15 – 0:26:15] Erik: Yeah.
[0:26:16 – 0:26:17] Adam: Sit by the fire.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:18] Erik: What else do you need?
[0:26:18 – 0:26:19] Adam: Maybe go for a night paddle.
[0:26:19 – 0:26:22] Erik: Yeah, we did that a few times, yeah.
[0:26:23 – 0:26:27] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know if I’ve got necessarily a particular order here.
[0:26:27 – 0:26:29] Erik: We’ve got some… How many you got?
[0:26:29 – 0:26:30] Adam: You said you have six albums?
[0:26:30 – 0:26:31] Adam: Six, I think, yeah.
[0:26:31 – 0:26:32] Adam: Holy schmokes.
[0:26:32 – 0:26:47] Erik: yeah we’ll probably do like a couple of uh mild honorable mentions and then uh i think i probably will be able to decide on one i couldn’t just decide i couldn’t get it much shorter than six or seven
[0:26:48 – 0:26:57] Adam: I have one pick that is my favorite right now, but I got three that I’m feeling very strongly about.
[0:26:57 – 0:27:02] Adam: Another one that’s an honorable mention, and I have a kind of a fun honorable mention that’s more of a joke.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:03] Adam: Can I start with that?
[0:27:04 – 0:27:05] Erik: You want to start with the joke one?
[0:27:05 – 0:27:06] Adam: Yeah.
[0:27:06 – 0:27:07] Adam: I don’t have it on my playlist.
[0:27:07 – 0:27:08] Adam: You don’t have to play anything.
[0:27:08 – 0:27:08] Adam: Okay.
[0:27:08 – 0:27:13] Adam: I just wanted to mention that this is a joke, but it’s also dead serious.
[0:27:14 – 0:27:14] Adam: Dead serious.
[0:27:14 – 0:27:21] Adam: Because I am going kind of like how at the end of the new year, you get your Spotify wrapped of the songs you’ve been listening to the most in your household.
[0:27:21 – 0:27:22] Erik: You’re trying to game the system?
[0:27:22 – 0:27:23] Erik: Yeah.
[0:27:23 – 0:27:29] Adam: Now, this is just, honestly, I don’t, anybody out there know about Blippi?
[0:27:29 – 0:27:31] Adam: Do you know who Blippi is, Eric?
[0:27:31 – 0:27:32] Adam: Yeah.
[0:27:32 – 0:27:33] Erik: Yeah, I think so.
[0:27:33 – 0:27:33] Adam: Okay.
[0:27:34 – 0:27:35] Erik: He wasn’t, no, that’s Clippy.
[0:27:36 – 0:27:36] Adam: No, Blippi.
[0:27:37 – 0:27:37] Erik: I think I do.
[0:27:38 – 0:27:40] Erik: I might need a little bit more, but that sounds vaguely familiar.
[0:27:41 – 0:27:43] Adam: My honorable mention number one is Blippi.
[0:27:44 – 0:27:48] Adam: The album is Blippi Tunes Volume 2 Machines.
[0:27:48 – 0:27:50] Erik: Is this music for kids?
[0:27:50 – 0:27:52] Adam: Yes, it is music for toddlers.
[0:27:52 – 0:27:53] Adam: Okay, then I don’t know Blippi.
[0:27:53 – 0:27:58] Erik: Or maybe I’ve heard other podcasts mention Blippi when they have young kids.
[0:27:58 – 0:27:58] Adam: It’s not…
[0:27:58 – 0:28:05] Adam: If this makes any sense to anybody listening, it’s not good, but also I can’t stop playing this song in my head.
[0:28:05 – 0:28:07] Erik: It’s not like kids bop, is it?
[0:28:07 – 0:28:10] Erik: No, it’s just catchy, stupid kids tunes.
[0:28:10 – 0:28:11] Adam: But is it original?
[0:28:11 – 0:28:12] Erik: It’s not like covers?
[0:28:12 – 0:28:13] Adam: Oh, no, this is real.
[0:28:13 – 0:28:16] Adam: Tractor Song by Blippi is straight up a jam.
[0:28:16 – 0:28:17] Adam: Wow.
[0:28:17 – 0:28:21] Adam: And the same album also features another great song called Boat Song.
[0:28:22 – 0:28:23] Adam: So if you see a theme here.
[0:28:23 – 0:28:24] Erik: What else?
[0:28:24 – 0:28:25] Erik: Name a few other songs.
[0:28:25 – 0:28:26] Adam: Garbage Truck Song.
[0:28:26 – 0:28:27] Adam: Garbage Truck Song.
[0:28:27 – 0:28:27] Adam: Fire Truck Song.
[0:28:28 – 0:28:29] Adam: Yeah, that kind of stuff.
[0:28:29 – 0:28:29] Adam: Sure.
[0:28:31 – 0:28:44] Adam: We’re not going to play any, and I don’t recommend it to anybody listening to this, but if I’m being honest about the album of the summer, this has got to be on the list because it gets played more than any of the other stuff we’re going to talk about tonight.
[0:28:44 – 0:28:44] Adam: Yeah.
[0:28:45 – 0:28:59] Adam: uh pike loves him and we play him a lot but yeah tractor song is number one and i’m not even going to attempt to sing it to you or play it but i don’t want that demon shout out to blippy i did want to make a note though because you’ll like this part blippy started his youtube channel this is just a man
[0:29:00 – 0:29:02] Adam: Yeah, and he has a ridiculous costume.
[0:29:03 – 0:29:03] Adam: This is fun.
[0:29:03 – 0:29:07] Adam: I get to describe Blippi to somebody who’s never heard of or seen Blippi before.
[0:29:07 – 0:29:19] Adam: He’s a crazy person who has a wild costume on, and he sings songs and goes on tours of fire truck factories or whatever, playing with toys in the playground.
[0:29:19 – 0:29:19] Adam: It’s amazing.
[0:29:19 – 0:29:43] Adam: bizarre show he started it um as an educational show it’s a show on youtube it’s a youtube channel okay but it was like because like he had a i i don’t know if the story is right but it’s either a niece or a nephew and he like felt bad that like most children’s programming was total trash which it is and so he started this youtube channel to like make like high quality programming for his niece or nephew and
[0:29:44 – 0:29:46] Adam: and did really great.
[0:29:46 – 0:29:56] Adam: It’s honestly, of all the crap you can find on YouTube to play for a toddler, it’s up there as far as some of the best stuff and least annoying and actually bearable.
[0:29:56 – 0:29:59] Adam: Tractor Song is, like I said, sadly pretty good.
[0:30:02 – 0:30:02] Adam: Sorry, Blippi.
[0:30:03 – 0:30:05] Adam: The worst part of this whole thing, though, is he got bought out.
[0:30:06 – 0:30:12] Adam: I don’t want to say he sold out, but he’s a millionaire or probably a billionaire at this point.
[0:30:12 – 0:30:18] Adam: He sold out the real Blippi, but then HBO bought the rights to it and now Blippi is still on there.
[0:30:18 – 0:30:18] Erik: Wow.
[0:30:18 – 0:30:19] Erik: On HBO?
[0:30:19 – 0:30:20] Adam: It’s fake Blippi.
[0:30:20 – 0:30:21] Erik: Oh, my God.
[0:30:21 – 0:30:23] Erik: I didn’t realize that there was going to be this much drama.
[0:30:23 – 0:30:24] Adam: Yes, I know.
[0:30:24 – 0:30:29] Adam: And so even my nephews know that that’s fake Blippi.
[0:30:29 – 0:30:30] Adam: Fake Blippi.
[0:30:30 – 0:30:32] Adam: Fake Blippi’s not as good as real Blippi.
[0:30:32 – 0:30:35] Erik: Well, didn’t they replace the Blue’s Clue guy, too?
[0:30:35 – 0:30:35] Erik: Yep, see, exactly.
[0:30:35 – 0:30:37] Erik: And he was fake Blue’s Clue guy.
[0:30:37 – 0:30:38] Adam: What was his name?
[0:30:38 – 0:30:38] Adam: Tom?
[0:30:39 – 0:30:40] Adam: I think it was Tom, yeah.
[0:30:40 – 0:30:43] Erik: There was always the rumor, like, oh, he committed suicide.
[0:30:43 – 0:30:43] Adam: Right.
[0:30:43 – 0:30:44] Erik: But he didn’t.
[0:30:44 – 0:30:45] Erik: Same thing with, like…
[0:30:45 – 0:30:46] Adam: He just stepped back.
[0:30:46 – 0:30:47] Adam: Like, I don’t need to do this no more.
[0:30:47 – 0:30:50] Adam: My nephew has grown up now, and I don’t need to continue.
[0:30:50 – 0:30:52] Adam: I can sell out for a couple billion.
[0:30:52 – 0:30:52] Adam: I’m out.
[0:30:52 – 0:30:56] Erik: Yeah, what was the other one that Mr. Rogers was, like, a deadly sniper in Vietnam or something?
[0:30:57 – 0:30:58] Adam: He was, actually.
[0:30:58 – 0:30:59] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:30:59 – 0:30:59] Adam: That’s actually true.
[0:30:59 – 0:31:00] Adam: I did that out, Trevor.
[0:31:03 – 0:31:04] Adam: But, yeah, the real Blippi is pretty good.
[0:31:04 – 0:31:08] Adam: The fake Blippi is disturbing and weird, and I try to avoid it, but that’s why…
[0:31:09 – 0:31:28] Erik: machines volume 2 is the original blippy 2016 so i love that don’t be don’t be tripping and i love that um don’t be tripping over that fake blippy no be careful the the title of the episode could very easily be an actual album title for like a legitimate band
[0:31:28 – 0:31:28] Adam: Yeah.
[0:31:28 – 0:31:29] Erik: Machines.
[0:31:29 – 0:31:33] Adam: I was going to try and trick you into it, but you’re immediately by the name Blippi.
[0:31:33 – 0:31:37] Adam: I think your radar was going off that this is not a real album or a real group.
[0:31:37 – 0:31:42] Adam: I mean, it is, actually, and it’s probably got more listens than anything else we’re going to describe or talk about tonight.
[0:31:42 – 0:31:42] Adam: Probably.
[0:31:43 – 0:31:44] Adam: So we’ll just drop it at this point.
[0:31:44 – 0:31:46] Adam: But anyway, shout out to Blippi, the original Blippi.
[0:31:47 – 0:31:47] Adam: He’s cool.
[0:31:47 – 0:31:48] Adam: He’s a friend of the show.
[0:31:48 – 0:31:49] Adam: Blippi, if you’re out there and listening.
[0:31:49 – 0:31:51] Erik: Is there a real name to this man?
[0:31:51 – 0:31:52] Erik: Hit us up.
[0:31:52 – 0:31:52] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:31:52 – 0:31:53] Adam: I probably could find out.
[0:31:54 – 0:31:55] Adam: I actually don’t want to know, though.
[0:31:55 – 0:31:56] Adam: Yeah, let’s leave it as Blippi.
[0:31:57 – 0:31:57] Adam: Yeah.
[0:31:57 – 0:31:59] Erik: I don’t know what Prince’s real name is.
[0:31:59 – 0:31:59] Erik: That’s fine.
[0:31:59 – 0:32:00] Erik: Don’t need to know.
[0:32:00 – 0:32:02] Adam: I don’t want to know.
[0:32:02 – 0:32:02] Adam: So, yeah.
[0:32:03 – 0:32:07] Adam: If you’re out there listening real blippy, hit us up in the DMs.

[0:32:13 – 0:32:14] Adam: His real name is Robert Zimmerman.
[0:32:16 – 0:32:17] Adam: Wow.
[0:32:18 – 0:32:22] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know if anybody wants to take the time to… Because I don’t think I’m going to.
[0:32:24 – 0:32:24] Erik: But I would be interested.
[0:32:25 – 0:32:28] Erik: If anybody else has an album of the summer they want to throw up on… Oh, I want to know.
[0:32:28 – 0:32:28] Erik: The Reddit.

[0:32:54 – 0:32:58] Adam: If the baby comes on time, we have one more Sunday between now and due date.
[0:32:58 – 0:33:02] Adam: So you can do album of the summer from the fans for once.
[0:33:02 – 0:33:03] Adam: We’ll see.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:03] Adam: Let them pick a few.
[0:33:04 – 0:33:04] Adam: For once.
[0:33:04 – 0:33:05] Adam: For once.
[0:33:06 – 0:33:07] Adam: Let the tumble homies speak.
[0:33:07 – 0:33:08] Erik: Yeah.
[0:33:08 – 0:33:11] Adam: After all these years, we finally read their comments.
[0:33:11 – 0:33:11] Adam: Finally.
[0:33:12 – 0:33:17] Adam: Episode 263, we’re going to read your comments for the first time in a long time.
[0:33:18 – 0:33:18] Erik: Yeah.
[0:33:18 – 0:33:21] Adam: So that was my first somewhat of a joke of a pick.
[0:33:23 – 0:33:24] Adam: So shout out to Blippi.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:26] Adam: Thanks for your magical work.
[0:33:27 – 0:33:28] Erik: Yeah.
[0:33:28 – 0:33:35] Erik: I mean, I think we’ve talked at length in these episodes about, you know, we don’t need to get too into the details on, obviously.
[0:33:35 – 0:33:37] Erik: It’s just one of those things.
[0:33:37 – 0:33:38] Erik: I think everybody should love music.
[0:33:38 – 0:33:39] Erik: And I think that most people do.
[0:33:39 – 0:33:43] Erik: It’s just, you know, a matter of what you love and what it does for you.
[0:33:43 – 0:33:53] Erik: And, you know, for me in the summer, it seems like the albums that we have now that we can go back and look at,
[0:33:54 – 0:33:58] Erik: in terms of which albums that we’ve said have been albums of the summer.
[0:33:59 – 0:34:21] Erik: You may not listen to them for a while after the summer or a year goes by, but as soon as you put one of those records on, it will bring you back to that summer, some of those places that you listened to them, especially when you kind of get into, like I’m sure everybody does, you get into a routine, and especially in the summer, you find yourself putting on
[0:34:22 – 0:34:38] Erik: specific albums during specific times of the day you know obviously in cook county there’s a lot of driving big distances so a lot of listening happens in the car and you know there’s certain times of day where you know if it’s after work you want something a little bit different but
[0:34:39 – 0:35:02] Erik: um but i guess we’ll see if the speaker is still hooked up i can start with uh my first honorable mention i guess there you go i guess we’ll say it’s officially we’ll just say it’s the seven i don’t know i don’t think there’s counting them down yeah we’re not uh we’re not 87.7 w casey casems tonight t-u-m-b-l-e
[0:35:04 – 0:35:12] Erik: But so this one’s my, there’s a few hours in the morning in the kitchen at the Angry Trout.
[0:35:12 – 0:35:15] Erik: I don’t know if I’ve actually ever specifically said where I work.
[0:35:15 – 0:35:18] Adam: They’re going to start showing up now.
[0:35:18 – 0:35:18] Adam: Before we open.
[0:35:19 – 0:35:21] Adam: Hey, Eric, there’s someone to see you here.
[0:35:21 – 0:35:23] Adam: The police are here to see you.
[0:35:23 – 0:35:28] Erik: No, not them.
[0:35:28 – 0:35:30] Adam: You ever heard the name Boy with Apple ever in your life?
[0:35:30 – 0:35:30] Adam: Got it?
[0:35:31 – 0:35:31] Adam: Zip it.
[0:35:32 – 0:35:32] Adam: So you know the drill.
[0:35:32 – 0:35:33] Erik: Yeah, you know the drill.
[0:35:33 – 0:35:33] Adam: Zip it.
[0:35:34 – 0:35:35] Erik: You ever been questioned by the authorities?
[0:35:37 – 0:35:42] Erik: But it’s just, you know, you want something on, but it’s, you know, it’s 7, 45, 8 in the morning.
[0:35:43 – 0:35:55] Erik: You don’t need to start the day with the reggae tone or the remix of a remix of a remix of a song from the 60s that inevitably will come on once the dish pit kids get in there.
[0:35:55 – 0:35:55] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:55 – 0:35:56] Erik: And they’re cranking it.
[0:35:56 – 0:35:59] Adam: Those damn dish pit kids.
[0:35:59 – 0:35:59] Adam: So, yeah.
[0:36:00 – 0:36:01] Adam: The insane clown posse.
[0:36:01 – 0:36:01] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[0:36:02 – 0:36:16] Erik: Well, I don’t know if there’s any ICP that I’ve ever heard come out of the dish pit, but every summer there, there is a different… Last year was Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and it was a daily song that would come on.
[0:36:16 – 0:36:19] Erik: And for whatever reason this year, it’s Johnny Cash’s Hurt.
[0:36:20 – 0:36:20] Erik: What?
[0:36:20 – 0:36:25] Erik: I’m not sure who’s in charge of the speaker when that one comes on, but I might need… Are you okay?
[0:36:25 – 0:36:26] Adam: Somebody might need to sit down with…
[0:36:26 – 0:36:28] Erik: Dishy, are you okay?
[0:36:29 – 0:36:31] Erik: But yeah, so this album has been my go-to morning.
[0:36:32 – 0:36:40] Erik: Kind of like, yes, I’m working, but it’s slow, methodical before the true madness of a restaurant like that kicks in.
[0:36:40 – 0:36:43] Erik: And it’s Jessica Pratt here in the pitch.
[0:36:45 – 0:36:53] Erik: And I wrote a little, just like two sentences for each of these in kind of like just short little…
[0:36:53 – 0:37:03] Erik: I just wrote, folk song sung from the back of a long fuzzy hallway, sleepy in a good way, 60s, great strings, percussion, and vocals.
[0:37:03 – 0:37:04] Adam: Pratt.
[0:37:05 – 0:37:05] Erik: Jessica Pratt.
[0:37:06 – 0:37:06] Erik: So…
[0:37:06 – 0:37:08] Erik: We’ll put it on in the background here.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:11] Adam: We’ve got the speaker on in the tumble shed tonight, so hopefully you can pick this up.
[0:37:11 – 0:37:12] Erik: Yeah, we’ll get it a little bit.
[0:37:12 – 0:37:15] Adam: We’re going to talk over it just enough to avoid copyright infringement.
[0:37:17 – 0:37:18] Adam: Not that you said that.
[0:37:19 – 0:37:21] Erik: Every 15 seconds, we’ll just have to talk.
[0:37:24 – 0:37:24] Erik: Yeah, I’m not sure.
[0:37:26 – 0:37:28] Erik: It’s just got enough going for it.
[0:37:29 – 0:37:35] Erik: It can kind of be on in the background, but I also just really love the lyrics, too.
[0:37:38 – 0:38:00] Adam: And I can’t seem to say no And look me up and see if you’re The chances of a lifetime I think I’ve been in a trick so mostly Used to be crazy naughty
[0:38:11 – 0:38:17] Erik: I’m not even really sure if I could, you know, do what it also sounds like.
[0:38:17 – 0:38:34] Adam: I don’t know, it kind of sounds like Pet Sounds.
[0:38:35 – 0:38:36] Erik: Yeah, it’s got a little Beach Boys vibe to it.
[0:38:37 – 0:38:37] Adam: Yeah.
[0:38:38 – 0:38:38] Erik: It definitely has…
[0:38:39 – 0:38:42] Adam: I have not listened to this yet also, so first listen for me.
[0:38:44 – 0:38:44] Erik: Yeah.
[0:38:45 – 0:38:46] Erik: Surfing USA.
[0:38:47 – 0:38:50] Erik: What’s the album with the slumped over cowboy on the horse?
[0:38:51 – 0:38:59] Erik: I think that’s Surfing USA, which is not as exciting of an album as the title would imply.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:01] Erik: It’s kind of when they went a little darker.
[0:39:01 – 0:39:04] Adam: Do you say this sounds like it comes out of a fuzzy hallway?
[0:39:04 – 0:39:07] Erik: Yeah, from the back of a long fuzzy hallway.
[0:39:08 – 0:39:11] Adam: I mean, it sounds like the microphone is covered in like shag carpet for sure.
[0:39:11 – 0:39:16] Erik: Yeah, it’s got an older sound to it.
[0:39:16 – 0:39:17] Adam: Yeah, it does.
[0:39:20 – 0:39:29] Erik: And for some other weird reason, it sounds like something that I could hear on the soundtrack to Midsommar.
[0:39:32 – 0:39:32] Adam: Sure.
[0:39:33 – 0:39:36] Adam: Kind of got like… Yeah, this is definitely something you would play in a cult.
[0:39:37 – 0:39:38] Adam: Yeah, this is cult music.
[0:39:40 – 0:39:41] Adam: Midsommar.
[0:39:41 – 0:39:42] Adam: We did that on TCC.
[0:39:42 – 0:39:43] Adam: Yeah, we sure did.
[0:39:45 – 0:39:46] Erik: Well, there’s that one.
[0:39:49 – 0:39:53] Adam: Yeah, it sounds like it’s washed in the waves of the Pacific, too.
[0:39:53 – 0:39:55] Adam: Where’s Jessica Pratt from?
[0:39:55 – 0:39:57] Erik: I don’t know off the top of my head.
[0:39:57 – 0:40:00] Erik: I do have some of the locations for some of the list here.
[0:40:00 – 0:40:03] Adam: Any other songs you want to play off that?
[0:40:04 – 0:40:04] Erik: No, that’s okay.
[0:40:05 – 0:40:05] Erik: Okay.
[0:40:06 – 0:40:06] Erik: We’ll keep her moving.
[0:40:07 – 0:40:09] Erik: That’s just kind of the top of the list.
[0:40:11 – 0:40:12] Adam: Right on.
[0:40:12 – 0:40:16] Adam: Well, can I go next?
[0:40:16 – 0:40:17] Adam: I don’t see why not.
[0:40:17 – 0:40:17] Adam: All right.
[0:40:18 – 0:40:24] Adam: I want to nominate the song of the summer, which is different from album of the summer.
[0:40:25 – 0:40:25] Adam: But…
[0:40:26 – 0:40:28] Adam: I’ve been listening to a lot of the Billie Eilish album.
[0:40:28 – 0:40:30] Adam: It’s Hit Me Hard and Soft.
[0:40:31 – 0:40:32] Adam: I don’t know if you have this on your list.
[0:40:33 – 0:40:33] Erik: I don’t.
[0:40:33 – 0:40:35] Adam: I’ve been listening to it a lot.
[0:40:35 – 0:40:40] Adam: I guarantee you if I actually pulled the stats, I’ve listened to this album more than any of the others.
[0:40:40 – 0:40:43] Adam: This one came out earlier, though, so it has an unfair advantage.
[0:40:43 – 0:40:45] Adam: I think it came out in March, I want to say.
[0:40:45 – 0:40:46] Erik: Yeah.
[0:40:46 – 0:40:49] Adam: So I feel like I’ve just been playing it on repeat ever since then.
[0:40:50 – 0:40:55] Adam: And my favorite song on the whole album is the French one.
[0:40:55 – 0:40:56] Adam: It’s on the playlist.
[0:40:57 – 0:40:58] Adam: I’m going to try it.
[0:40:58 – 0:41:00] Adam: L’amour de mes vies.
[0:41:00 – 0:41:00] Adam: Sure.
[0:41:00 – 0:41:01] Adam: Nailed it.
[0:41:01 – 0:41:01] Erik: Yeah.
[0:41:01 – 0:41:03] Erik: I mean, it’s French, so it probably sounds way different.
[0:41:04 – 0:41:07] Adam: I feel like I just pronounced it like Clotilde in Grand Poudabest.
[0:41:08 – 0:41:10] Adam: My favorite character in the whole movie.
[0:41:10 – 0:41:11] Adam: Yeah.
[0:41:11 – 0:41:14] Adam: This one’s cool because it’s like two songs in one.
[0:41:14 – 0:41:15] Adam: I like these kinds of songs.
[0:41:15 – 0:41:16] Adam: Sure.
[0:41:16 – 0:41:21] Adam: And it takes a dramatic turn at about three minutes and 30 seconds into the song.
[0:41:21 – 0:41:22] Adam: So can we hit it?
[0:41:23 – 0:41:40] Adam: sure we’ll put her on yeah it’s pretty slow and like subdued to start with featuring billy’s like amazing vocals and then uh you get some like really fun like the kind of beats and energy i liked out of like a very fun summer song at the end so
[0:41:41 – 0:41:45] Erik: The kind of beat that you’ve come to expect, kind of.
[0:41:45 – 0:41:46] Adam: Exactly.
[0:41:47 – 0:41:48] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:41:48 – 0:41:50] Adam: Is Phineas responsible for that?
[0:41:50 – 0:41:50] Adam: I hope so.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:51] Adam: Yeah, sure.
[0:41:52 – 0:41:52] Erik: Maybe.
[0:41:53 – 0:41:54] Erik: He gets his shrift.
[0:41:55 – 0:41:57] Adam: Is Phineas getting too much shrift, though?
[0:41:58 – 0:41:58] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:41:58 – 0:42:01] Adam: I mean, it’s her name on the album.
[0:42:01 – 0:42:02] Adam: Billy’s album, you know?
[0:42:02 – 0:42:02] Adam: Yeah.
[0:42:03 – 0:42:04] Adam: It’s a good album, though.
[0:42:04 – 0:42:05] Adam: The whole album’s amazing.
[0:42:05 – 0:42:06] Adam: Yeah, I like it.
[0:42:06 – 0:42:06] Adam: Yeah.
[0:42:08 – 0:42:12] Adam: I feel like it’s too popular to pick it kind of album.
[0:42:12 – 0:42:12] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:42:13 – 0:42:17] Adam: I have another one on here later that fits in the same frame.
[0:42:17 – 0:42:24] Adam: I feel a little weird picking this as my album in the summer because it’s so popular, but I don’t care.
[0:42:24 – 0:42:25] Adam: It’s damn good.
[0:42:26 – 0:42:27] Erik: It is.
[0:42:27 – 0:42:35] Erik: This is good, and I know the other one that you’re talking about, which I think if we were going, it probably would…
[0:42:36 – 0:42:37] Erik: It’s almost just like default.
[0:42:38 – 0:42:40] Adam: Yeah, like, of course, album in the summer.
[0:42:40 – 0:42:40] Adam: That’s the one.
[0:42:40 – 0:42:41] Adam: So damn good.
[0:42:41 – 0:42:43] Erik: They named the summer after it, essentially.
[0:42:44 – 0:42:48] Erik: But now that’s been canceled because the olds started talking about it.
[0:42:48 – 0:42:48] Erik: Yeah.
[0:42:49 – 0:42:50] Adam: Whatever.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:51] Adam: Am I part of the olds now?
[0:42:52 – 0:42:53] Erik: Kind of, yeah.
[0:42:54 – 0:42:56] Adam: This one’s really good on headphones, too.
[0:42:58 – 0:43:11] Adam: All the songs and albums I want to talk about tonight are on the surface very good, but if you listen to them with headphones, deeper and a very rich tapestry of sonic emotion.
[0:43:11 – 0:43:12] Erik: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:43:12 – 0:43:13] Erik: I think that…
[0:43:15 – 0:43:24] Erik: I think everybody in the world should be given a pair of just mediumly good headphones.
[0:43:25 – 0:43:28] Adam: See, my headphones are not that good.
[0:43:28 – 0:43:29] Adam: See, I need better headphones, I think.
[0:43:30 – 0:43:35] Erik: Yeah, I mean, it’s something that I’ve consistently and repeatedly reinvested into.
[0:43:36 – 0:43:41] Erik: Not to, like, replace just out of nowhere, but, you know, I’ve had dog accidents.
[0:43:41 – 0:43:43] Erik: Some have just literally worn out.
[0:43:43 – 0:43:44] Adam: Dog accidents.
[0:43:44 – 0:43:47] Erik: Well, there’s been a chewing of a pair or two.
[0:43:48 – 0:43:56] Erik: And I wouldn’t say that I spare no expense, but I’m definitely not looking for deals when it comes to a pair of headphones.
[0:43:56 – 0:43:56] Erik: Yeah.
[0:43:56 – 0:43:58] Erik: I listen to music like every day.
[0:43:58 – 0:44:03] Adam: Honestly, if I, you know, I have a pair of Bluetooth like over the ear headphones now and they’re fine.
[0:44:03 – 0:44:08] Adam: But like I could definitely like spend a few more bucks on a really good pair in the near future.
[0:44:08 – 0:44:12] Adam: It’s in the capital expenditure budget for me for the next five year plan.
[0:44:12 – 0:44:13] Erik: Five year plan.
[0:44:13 – 0:44:14] Adam: Hopefully the next year.
[0:44:14 – 0:44:40] Erik: nice i feel like that it could that makes such a huge difference though and not necessarily having like really a really good pair but just having something in both ears that’s not in the background or that you’re just sort of passively listening to it just sounds so much better when it’s just something that you can hear with both ears which probably sounds really stupid but i feel like very few people actually listen to music like that anymore
[0:44:42 – 0:45:10] Adam: kind of on in the background in the car i mostly just listen to it while driving you know so like there are other nights where i’m like i’m trying to listen to music real loud and natalie and the baby are sleeping and i’m like i want to crank it yeah and so i always thought this was two different songs sure until i like kind of like actually paid attention i was like no it’s the french song 330 here we go now it’s the album of the summer maybe maybe
[0:45:20 – 0:45:22] Adam: Sounds pretty good on the speaker in here, though.
[0:45:22 – 0:45:24] Adam: We got a pretty nice speaker in the tumble shed.
[0:45:24 – 0:45:25] Adam: For its size?
[0:45:25 – 0:45:25] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:52 – 0:46:17] Erik: we’re gonna get flagged right about the 15th second i haven’t talked all right we’re adding something to this see you see after have i come around on auto tuning or is auto tuning come around on me
[0:46:19 – 0:46:19] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:46:19 – 0:46:21] Adam: I think if it’s used properly.
[0:46:21 – 0:46:22] Adam: I love it.
[0:46:22 – 0:46:24] Adam: I just love it this summer.
[0:46:24 – 0:46:26] Adam: I just love it a lot.
[0:46:26 – 0:46:27] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:46:27 – 0:46:28] Erik: I just love it a lot.
[0:46:30 – 0:46:35] Adam: I’ll save that comment for the future album we’re going to discuss, but I think you’re right.
[0:46:35 – 0:46:41] Adam: When done right, auto-tuning can turn your voice into a different kind of instrument, which is interesting.
[0:46:41 – 0:46:47] Adam: I like this song because it both features like, yeah, Billy’s like natural vocals.
[0:46:47 – 0:46:53] Adam: And then the song shifts into another gear and then throws auto tune on it.
[0:46:53 – 0:46:55] Adam: And I don’t know.
[0:46:55 – 0:46:55] Adam: It’s just a lot of fun.
[0:46:56 – 0:46:57] Adam: It’s just a lot of fun.
[0:46:57 – 0:46:58] Adam: What else can you say?
[0:46:58 – 0:46:59] Erik: It’s just a lot of fun.
[0:46:59 – 0:47:00] Erik: It’s such a good song.
[0:47:00 – 0:47:02] Adam: That’s what they’re all about.
[0:47:02 – 0:47:05] Adam: This album is a lot of these highs and lows.
[0:47:07 – 0:47:11] Adam: I’m not going to claim to be a Billie Eilish expert over here, but I’m a big fan.
[0:47:12 – 0:47:23] Adam: I feel like this album’s got a lot more slow songs to it, but then the songs, when they kick up the beat and the tempo, hit a level that very few albums can hit in the middle of summer.
[0:47:24 – 0:47:24] Adam: Just amazing.
[0:47:24 – 0:47:25] Adam: Yeah.
[0:47:25 – 0:47:40] Adam: Every time I’ve had that one on while driving down the gravel roads of Cook County, Minnesota, I usually roll the window down and stick my hand out the window and kind of like tap the outside of the door of the truck.
[0:47:40 – 0:47:40] Adam: Big fan.
[0:47:40 – 0:47:41] Adam: I love the album.
[0:47:41 – 0:47:46] Adam: If anybody out there listening to this is not listening to that album yet, I highly recommend you do.
[0:47:47 – 0:47:47] Adam: Thank you.
[0:47:47 – 0:47:48] Erik: Nice.
[0:47:48 – 0:47:48] Adam: All right.
[0:47:48 – 0:47:50] Adam: So that’s my honorable mention.
[0:47:50 – 0:48:00] Adam: And I would nominate that for like song of the summer because it encapsulates everything from like your early morning drives when it’s foggy in the morning to like when you’re going home and you need something fast.
[0:48:01 – 0:48:01] Adam: Yeah.
[0:48:01 – 0:48:03] Adam: It’s got it all in one song, baby.
[0:48:03 – 0:48:04] Erik: Yeah.
[0:48:05 – 0:48:06] Erik: I can definitely hear that.
[0:48:06 – 0:48:06] Erik: All right.
[0:48:08 – 0:48:10] Erik: this is probably the newest.
[0:48:11 – 0:48:13] Erik: So, you know, that’s why it’s coming in.
[0:48:14 – 0:48:18] Adam: Uh, it probably, as you said, another month, maybe it moves up the rankings.
[0:48:18 – 0:48:21] Adam: Maybe it’s, it is a big thing when they released the album.
[0:48:21 – 0:48:47] Erik: yeah there’s there’s a couple that i have on here that i’ve been listening to for most of the year which might preclude it from being an album of the summer but i’m still listening to them so um this is the peter katt recording company album it’s an indian indie rock i guess indian rock indian indie rock um boy i don’t know like the country
[0:48:48 – 0:49:09] Erik: the country yes india um peter cat peter cat recording co it’s got a really great album cover that kind of caught my eye sometimes oh i love a good album cover yeah yeah if you see that it’s got like a good review and then the album cover draws you in i mean yeah i’m a visual creature so
[0:49:10 – 0:49:17] Erik: Yeah, it’s probably out of everything that’s on this list, like the hardest to quantify.
[0:49:18 – 0:49:18] Adam: Can I see the album cover?
[0:49:19 – 0:49:19] Erik: Yeah.
[0:49:22 – 0:49:22] Adam: Yes.
[0:49:24 – 0:49:24] Adam: All right, I’m in.
[0:49:25 – 0:49:26] Adam: I’m locked in.
[0:49:29 – 0:49:30] Erik: It’s like fusion.
[0:49:30 – 0:49:43] Erik: At times it’s like really chill and like bedroom-y, like just sitting with like a single nice, like well, like a nice lamp, good lighting.
[0:49:44 – 0:49:44] Erik: One good lamp.
[0:49:45 – 0:49:46] Erik: One good lamp.
[0:49:47 – 0:49:56] Erik: It’s also like something that you could, a lot of the songs are really great just for background music, like vocal jazz.
[0:49:57 – 0:49:57] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[0:49:58 – 0:50:16] Erik: kind of bollywoodish at times it’s like some soul i don’t know like and that’s i guess why i’ve been so into this record lately is just like so hard to pin down i just put it on and i’m just like it just makes me happy i also love this guy’s voice yeah
[0:50:39 – 0:50:40] Adam: How do you spell cat?
[0:50:42 – 0:50:43] Adam: C-A-T.
[0:50:43 – 0:50:44] Adam: The usual way.
[0:50:44 – 0:50:44] Erik: Yeah.
[0:50:45 – 0:50:45] Erik: The animal way.
[0:50:46 – 0:50:46] Adam: Alright.
[0:50:47 – 0:50:47] Adam: Meow.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:49] Erik: I’m not sure who Peter Cat is, but…
[0:51:00 – 0:51:04] Adam: So you’ve gone with Pratt and Cat to start?
[0:51:04 – 0:51:06] Erik: Pratt and Cat to start, yes.
[0:51:07 – 0:51:08] Adam: Is that a decision you made?
[0:51:10 – 0:51:11] Adam: No, I don’t think so.
[0:51:11 – 0:51:12] Adam: Pratt and Cat.
[0:51:14 – 0:51:14] Erik: Yeah, check it out.
[0:51:14 – 0:51:16] Erik: Peter Cat Recording Company.
[0:51:16 – 0:51:19] Adam: I like that it’s got a company in the name.
[0:51:19 – 0:51:20] Adam: Yeah, Coe.
[0:51:20 – 0:51:22] Adam: Not enough bands or LLCs these days.
[0:51:22 – 0:51:24] Adam: C-O-Coe, so maybe not.
[0:51:24 – 0:51:24] Adam: Yeah, Coe.
[0:51:29 – 0:51:35] Erik: Also not, it’s got a little like, you like Destroyer at all?
[0:51:36 – 0:51:37] Adam: Yeah.
[0:51:37 – 0:51:39] Adam: Boy, it’s been a while since I’ve listened to Destroyer.
[0:51:40 – 0:51:40] Adam: Damn.
[0:51:41 – 0:51:41] Erik: Dan Behar.
[0:51:42 – 0:51:42] Erik: Behar.
[0:51:42 – 0:51:44] Erik: Kind of got his voice a little bit.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:44] Adam: Uh-huh.
[0:51:45 – 0:51:47] Erik: Not quite as unique, but still really like it.
[0:51:49 – 0:52:01] Erik: It’s kind of one of those albums that I almost like, and I really love this song, Black and White, but some of the slower songs are a little bit more atmospheric, and they’re just a great chill album.
[0:52:02 – 0:52:05] Erik: But then there’s still a couple of tracks where you’re just like, you can put this on and dance to it.
[0:52:06 – 0:52:07] Erik: Yeah.
[0:52:08 – 0:52:10] Adam: I haven’t been dancing enough this summer.
[0:52:11 – 0:52:11] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:52:12 – 0:52:14] Adam: Have you gone out dancing lately?
[0:52:14 – 0:52:14] Adam: Yeah.
[0:52:14 – 0:52:15] Erik: I did, yeah.
[0:52:15 – 0:52:21] Erik: I haven’t gone out dancing, but I did find myself dancing a little bit last week, yeah.
[0:52:22 – 0:52:23] Erik: That doesn’t happen very often, but… All right.
[0:52:24 – 0:52:24] Erik: Yeah.
[0:52:26 – 0:52:33] Adam: Yeah, I feel like the only time I’m dancing in August is sort of like joke dancing of like… Or like 10 seconds.
[0:52:33 – 0:52:35] Adam: Arm dancing, like Trump.
[0:52:35 – 0:52:37] Adam: Like maybe I shake my hips a little.
[0:52:37 – 0:52:37] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[0:52:39 – 0:53:02] Adam: that’s it yeah that’s sad that’s really sad i gotta i gotta take more time to dance in this world it feels really good it does yeah dancing is great for the heart and soul dancing and singing and singing yeah i agree yeah so we’re moving into your official list here okay i made my top three i have my top three okay um
[0:53:04 – 0:53:09] Adam: This band that I want to talk about next, are we okay to move on from Mr. Cat?
[0:53:09 – 0:53:10] Erik: Mr. Cat is… And the company.
[0:53:10 – 0:53:11] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:11 – 0:53:12] Erik: He’s perfectly fine.
[0:53:12 – 0:53:18] Adam: This one, I famously was bragging about it to somebody at work who’s in a band.
[0:53:18 – 0:53:22] Adam: I was like, this band’s my new favorite Australian band, and they’re really good.
[0:53:23 – 0:53:27] Adam: And as you know, a long line of great psychedelic Australian bands.
[0:53:28 – 0:53:29] Adam: You’re going to love it.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:29] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:29] Erik: Yeah.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:52] Adam: wand yeah and then i recommended it and then i was listening to it like the next day and i somehow just looked at like their page or whatever and i was like they’re from los angeles the city of angles yes and i was like shit i uh part of me part of my french but now i feel like a real fool for recommending this is like the next great thing in australian psychedelic rock yeah uh
[0:53:52 – 0:53:54] Erik: Well, whatever the point stands, it’s really good.
[0:53:54 – 0:53:55] Erik: It’s really good.
[0:53:56 – 0:53:59] Adam: I came into work like, and then I hadn’t, I wasn’t going to work with that guy for a couple of days.
[0:53:59 – 0:54:02] Adam: I came in like, you know, next Tuesday.
[0:54:02 – 0:54:04] Adam: I was like, Hey, I just got to apologize.
[0:54:04 – 0:54:06] Adam: I’m sorry for leading you to believe that.
[0:54:06 – 0:54:07] Adam: You brought it back up.
[0:54:07 – 0:54:08] Adam: Yeah.
[0:54:08 – 0:54:08] Adam: I can’t let that lie.
[0:54:09 – 0:54:14] Erik: I’d be the kind of person I’d just be like, no, I’m just going to hope that he, I don’t want him to feel like I’m an idiot or something, you know?
[0:54:14 – 0:54:17] Adam: And I was like, Hey, I just wanted to let you know, like I looked into it and actually I led you astray.
[0:54:17 – 0:54:21] Adam: They’re not from, um, you know, Brisbane, they’re from Los Angeles.
[0:54:21 – 0:54:21] Adam: Sure.
[0:54:23 – 0:54:26] Adam: I don’t find it to be that, but is the City of Angels.
[0:54:26 – 0:54:34] Adam: This is Wand, and they’ve been around for a while, and their sound has been changing and evolving through the years.
[0:54:34 – 0:54:38] Adam: They had a new album out pretty recently, and this is probably the newest album on my list.
[0:54:38 – 0:54:43] Adam: The name of the album is Vertigo, and it features a dog running through the desert.
[0:54:43 – 0:54:44] Erik: It’s a great album cover.
[0:54:44 – 0:54:49] Adam: It is a great album cover, and the whole album is a frickin’ plus.
[0:54:49 – 0:54:49] Adam: Should I start one?
[0:54:50 – 0:55:15] Adam: uh let’s just go with um smile i want to start with smile um yeah i was talking classic like it makes me feel like i’m back in the 90s in a way like just classic hardcore not maybe hardcore but just classic like good old american rock yeah it sounds like um you know like remember bush i do something about like the sonic qualities of the the guitar in this
[0:55:17 – 0:55:21] Adam: And the guy’s vocals sort of sound like Tom York from Radiohead.
[0:55:21 – 0:55:22] Adam: Sure.
[0:55:22 – 0:55:23] Adam: Oddly enough.
[0:55:23 – 0:55:25] Erik: I was going to say, not like Gavin Rossdale.
[0:55:25 – 0:55:26] Adam: No.
[0:55:26 – 0:55:28] Adam: Who is from Bush, I believe.
[0:55:28 – 0:55:31] Adam: And then the guy from Radiohead is in a band called Smile 2.
[0:55:31 – 0:55:32] Adam: The Smile, yes.
[0:55:32 – 0:55:34] Adam: It’s one of those synchronicities.
[0:55:34 – 0:55:36] Adam: Yeah.
[0:55:36 – 0:55:41] Adam: This whole album is just great front to back, like song one to song ten.
[0:55:42 – 0:55:42] Adam: Yeah.
[0:55:42 – 0:55:42] Adam: Amazing.
[0:55:43 – 0:55:43] Adam: It’s so good.
[0:55:43 – 0:55:49] Adam: This one is truly the one I’ve actually been locked into and listening to on every day, every commute.
[0:55:50 – 0:55:53] Adam: Putting this album on right now, I’ll just let it speak for itself.
[0:56:33 – 0:56:41] Erik: Yeah, somebody was talking to me today about when I mentioned what we were talking about on the podcast today.
[0:56:41 – 0:56:44] Erik: And they were like, oh, yeah, what kind of music does Adam like?
[0:56:44 – 0:56:45] Erik: And I was like, I don’t know.
[0:56:45 – 0:56:49] Erik: Mostly kind of along the same lines of what I listen to.
[0:56:50 – 0:56:52] Adam: We are in alignment, usually.
[0:56:52 – 0:56:54] Adam: If you like something, I will like it.
[0:56:54 – 0:57:03] Erik: Yeah, but then I was, like, also, if I was, like, if I had to, like, pinpoint something, I would be, like, I don’t know, like, psychedelic Australian shit.
[0:57:04 – 0:57:09] Adam: Yeah, that’s why I was, like, this one’s, like, the least psychedelic song on the album, too.
[0:57:09 – 0:57:18] Adam: Like, you can hear some of the, like, reverberations in the background on this, and there’s layers upon layers in this song.
[0:57:18 – 0:57:19] Adam: This is a great one for headphones, too.
[0:57:20 – 0:57:21] Adam: But, like…
[0:57:24 – 0:57:38] Adam: A lot of what this album is about is, if you remember old Wilco, the noise that they stick in the back of it makes you feel things that you didn’t know you felt.
[0:57:39 – 0:57:40] Adam: Yeah.
[0:57:41 – 0:57:47] Adam: It was like Ghost is Born from Wilco, one of those albums that really stuck with me back in the early 2000s.
[0:57:47 – 0:57:50] Adam: I feel like this has a lot of that going on to it.
[0:57:51 – 0:57:58] Adam: There’s also like some of their songs like have really weird percussion into it that remind me of the old Battles album.
[0:57:59 – 0:57:59] Erik: Oh, wow.
[0:57:59 – 0:58:00] Adam: Mirrored.
[0:58:00 – 0:58:01] Adam: Mirrored.
[0:58:02 – 0:58:03] Adam: I think it’s just the name of the album.
[0:58:03 – 0:58:04] Adam: Mirrored by Battles.
[0:58:04 – 0:58:06] Adam: Yeah.
[0:58:06 – 0:58:07] Erik: That’s a classic.
[0:58:07 – 0:58:07] Erik: Yeah.
[0:58:07 – 0:58:08] Adam: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:58:08 – 0:58:09] Adam: There’s a lot going on here.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:14] Adam: This is, like, the most regular song that’s just, like, a standard, like, banger.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:16] Adam: Like, good from top to bottom.
[0:58:17 – 0:58:24] Adam: The song that follows this one is called Lifeboat, which if you get a song with the word boat in it, you know, I’m in.
[0:58:24 – 0:58:26] Adam: Yeah.
[0:58:26 – 0:58:28] Adam: I had Lifeboat on my list as well.
[0:58:28 – 0:58:31] Adam: I don’t think we’re off time to listen to all these, but… Yeah, that’s all right.
[0:58:31 – 0:58:32] Adam: Um…
[0:58:32 – 0:58:36] Adam: What I like about this album, too, is the first two tracks are called Hangman.
[0:58:38 – 0:58:39] Adam: I don’t have it in front of me.
[0:58:40 – 0:58:42] Adam: Hangman into something.
[0:58:42 – 0:58:47] Adam: It’s two tracks, but it’s like a double track where it feeds directly into it.
[0:58:48 – 0:58:50] Adam: It’s one of those where you can’t tell it’s two tracks.
[0:58:51 – 0:58:51] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:58:51 – 0:58:52] Adam: I love it.
[0:58:52 – 0:58:55] Adam: The whole album just flows really well together like that.
[0:58:55 – 0:58:57] Adam: It’s really just one long song.
[0:58:57 – 0:58:58] Adam: It’s 54 minutes long.
[0:59:01 – 0:59:01] Adam: And it just wails.
[0:59:01 – 0:59:04] Adam: Like, I would love to see these guys live, Eric.
[0:59:04 – 0:59:06] Adam: This would be an amazing live show.
[0:59:06 – 0:59:07] Adam: And they’re on tour right now.
[0:59:08 – 0:59:09] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:59:09 – 0:59:12] Adam: So if there’s a chance, I’m going to try and catch it.
[0:59:12 – 0:59:17] Adam: But, yeah, it’s got a lot of elements of all the good stuff I love.
[0:59:18 – 0:59:22] Adam: And, you know, just classic American rock with a little bit of, like, weirdness into it.
[0:59:25 – 0:59:26] Adam: And the vocals are good.
[0:59:26 – 0:59:27] Adam: Uh, everything about it.
[0:59:28 – 0:59:28] Adam: You gotta love it.
[0:59:28 – 0:59:29] Adam: So yeah.
[0:59:29 – 0:59:30] Adam: Wand.
[0:59:30 – 0:59:31] Adam: Wand.
[0:59:31 – 0:59:31] Erik: Yeah.
[0:59:31 – 0:59:38] Adam: Like I was convinced that they were like a break off from pond Australian rock, but they’re their own thing.
[0:59:38 – 0:59:40] Adam: And I want to make sure.
[0:59:40 – 0:59:40] Adam: Yeah.
[0:59:41 – 0:59:43] Adam: All the Australian bands, what are they doing over there?
[0:59:44 – 0:59:44] Adam: They’re not though.
[0:59:44 – 0:59:49] Adam: But, um, I do have a band later in the list that is from Australia.
[0:59:49 – 0:59:52] Adam: That is, I think my actual album of the summer, but, uh,
[0:59:52 – 0:59:58] Adam: This one just came out and if I’m being real, this is the song that I’ve been listening to like every single day lately.
[0:59:58 – 1:00:00] Adam: So the whole thing’s great.
[1:00:01 – 1:00:03] Adam: So check them out.
[1:00:03 – 1:00:04] Adam: Check them out.
[1:00:04 – 1:00:04] Adam: Check them out.
[1:00:05 – 1:00:05] Adam: Wand.
[1:00:05 – 1:00:06] Adam: Check it.
[1:00:06 – 1:00:08] Adam: Look for the dog running down the desert.
[1:00:08 – 1:00:09] Adam: It’s a great album cover.
[1:00:09 – 1:00:09] Adam: Thank you.
[1:00:10 – 1:00:10] Adam: Yeah.
[1:00:10 – 1:00:11] Adam: Thank you.
[1:00:11 – 1:00:12] Adam: Thank you.
[1:00:12 – 1:00:13] Adam: I didn’t have anything to do with it.
[1:00:13 – 1:00:14] Adam: Why are you taking credit for it?
[1:00:14 – 1:00:15] Adam: That’s weird.
[1:00:16 – 1:00:39] Erik: um i’m just gonna we don’t have to listen to anything after this but the one that is probably more of an album that came out in this last winter spring maybe um i’m still putting on pretty regularly and i would check it out if you have not the uh latest mgmt album still love that oh yeah i only like listen to that like twice so far and that’s another one where
[1:00:41 – 1:00:43] Adam: This happens too where you’re like, I like this.
[1:00:44 – 1:00:49] Adam: I’m going to bookmark it and come back to it and then it’s just like months go by and you’re like, I haven’t come back to it yet.
[1:00:49 – 1:00:49] Adam: Yeah, loss of life.
[1:00:50 – 1:00:51] Adam: I got distracted, yeah.
[1:00:51 – 1:00:52] Erik: It’s a great…
[1:00:52 – 1:00:54] Adam: I got to go back to that one.
[1:00:54 – 1:00:58] Erik: You know, like depending on how familiar you are with MGMT, you know, they’ve got the main…
[1:00:59 – 1:01:23] Erik: they’re bangers that you still hear yeah especially in the dish pit when you’re just royalties yes the uh you know the electric field days the oracular spectacular days when they literally went and put out an album to try and make as much money as possible knowing actively knowing what they were doing and they did it selling out they’re just like we’re just gonna make the poppiest
[1:01:23 – 1:01:26] Erik: And then they were like, well, this is actually the music we would prefer to make.
[1:01:26 – 1:01:27] Erik: We did make our money.
[1:01:28 – 1:01:30] Adam: Now we can afford to make the music we want to make.
[1:01:30 – 1:01:30] Adam: Yeah.
[1:01:30 – 1:01:33] Erik: And then now they’ve kind of come back a little bit.
[1:01:34 – 1:01:37] Erik: And I liked some of that, but there was a lot of it after that first…
[1:01:38 – 1:01:40] Erik: You know, where you’re just like, this might be the greatest band of all time.
[1:01:41 – 1:01:43] Erik: It’s Oasis, Reborn, you know?
[1:01:43 – 1:01:43] Erik: Yeah, yeah.
[1:01:43 – 1:01:54] Erik: And then they came out with, I can’t even think of a couple of those ones that came out after that, Oracular, Spectacular, the one with, you know, kids and all those ones.
[1:01:54 – 1:01:54] Erik: Yeah.
[1:01:56 – 1:02:15] Adam: there’s okay dogs are going crazy for it they love the mgmt over here but loss of life i feel like is a nice uh it’s a nice balance power pop you know some ballads yeah i gotta bookmark that one again and come back to it because it’s one i meant to go back to and i never got back to it yeah all of a sudden now it’s almost labor day yeah where have i been
[1:02:15 – 1:02:16] Erik: Where have you been?
[1:02:17 – 1:02:18] Erik: Where have any of us been?
[1:02:19 – 1:02:21] Erik: I’m going to play some Cococo.
[1:02:22 – 1:02:22] Adam: Cococo.
[1:02:22 – 1:02:24] Erik: Did you ever listen to that album?
[1:02:24 – 1:02:25] Erik: I think I sent you one of those.
[1:02:25 – 1:02:26] Erik: You sent it to me.
[1:02:26 – 1:02:30] Erik: Once a month, I just send you screenshots of six albums.
[1:02:30 – 1:02:33] Adam: And I appreciate that because I need your help.
[1:02:34 – 1:02:35] Adam: Eric, I need your help.
[1:02:35 – 1:02:36] Adam: Help.
[1:02:37 – 1:02:37] Erik: Yeah.
[1:02:37 – 1:02:38] Erik: And I don’t know.
[1:02:38 – 1:02:41] Erik: This one is I’ve been listening to this one all summer.
[1:02:41 – 1:02:43] Erik: It’s this one really.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:48] Erik: I feel like this one’s probably the closest akin to my album.
[1:02:48 – 1:02:51] Erik: One of my albums of the summer last year, which was the Mulchat Doma.
[1:02:51 – 1:03:14] Erik: yes which is just because it feeds my insatiable need for all of the hooks and for just good feeling and i can put it on and do anything and i’m always engaged and i don’t know what they’re singing about it’s uh congolese uh congolese singer and a french producer um
[1:03:15 – 1:03:16] Adam: Sounds exotic.
[1:03:17 – 1:03:18] Erik: Yeah, it’s Coco.
[1:03:18 – 1:03:20] Adam: Can you send me the link?
[1:03:21 – 1:03:24] Adam: No, I don’t need the link for this, just for the whole playlist.
[1:03:24 – 1:03:25] Adam: Oh, sure, yeah.
[1:03:25 – 1:03:28] Adam: Yeah, I need these just to make sure I revisit them tomorrow.
[1:03:29 – 1:03:31] Erik: With haste.
[1:03:31 – 1:03:39] Erik: Yeah, so I wrote, frenetic drum machines, punk energy, relentlessly hook-riddled and synth-driven, endlessly re-listenable, even if you don’t know what they’re singing about.
[1:03:40 – 1:03:40] Adam: Don’t need to know.
[1:03:41 – 1:03:43] Adam: You can just feel.
[1:03:43 – 1:03:44] Adam: Oh, yeah, there we go.
[1:03:44 – 1:03:45] Adam: Yes.
[1:03:45 – 1:03:45] Adam: Yes.
[1:03:50 – 1:03:53] Erik: This is a good one to work out to as well.
[1:03:56 – 1:04:01] Adam: I’ve been riding my bike a lot, and I haven’t figured out how to wear headphones and wear my helmet at the same time.
[1:04:01 – 1:04:06] Adam: I need a smaller headphone that’s compatible with my helmet.
[1:04:06 – 1:04:07] Erik: Like, in-ear?
[1:04:08 – 1:04:08] Adam: Yeah, I guess.
[1:04:08 – 1:04:10] Adam: And those always mess my ears up, though.
[1:04:10 – 1:04:15] Adam: Like, I need tiny, over-the-ear headphones that just, like, mount to my helmet or something.
[1:04:15 – 1:04:18] Adam: Or need a helmet with speakers in it or something, I guess.
[1:04:18 – 1:04:19] Adam: They make a Bluetooth helmet?
[1:04:19 – 1:04:24] Erik: Just like the old-school Walkman, Patrick Bateman-style headphones, where it’s just the two little foam balls.
[1:04:25 – 1:04:25] Adam: Yeah, that’s all I need.
[1:04:26 – 1:04:31] Adam: Something that’ll work, because I can’t… And some days I don’t want to listen to music.
[1:04:31 – 1:04:33] Adam: I just want to ride my bike in silence, but…
[1:04:33 – 1:04:33] Erik: Yeah.
[1:04:34 – 1:04:35] Erik: Sometimes silence is good.
[1:04:35 – 1:04:36] Erik: Yeah.
[1:04:36 – 1:04:47] Erik: There are some days where I worry that I never give myself moments of silence outside of the 30 minutes or whatever where I lay down in bed.
[1:04:47 – 1:04:48] Erik: Yeah.
[1:04:48 – 1:04:49] Erik: But I’m like, I don’t know.
[1:04:49 – 1:04:51] Erik: Has there ever been…
[1:04:52 – 1:04:54] Adam: There’s not enough hours in the day to catch up with all the good music, though.
[1:04:54 – 1:04:58] Erik: Negative research that implies always listening to music is a bad thing?
[1:04:58 – 1:05:00] Adam: Listening to too much music, it’s not healthy.
[1:05:00 – 1:05:01] Erik: Yeah, no.
[1:05:01 – 1:05:03] Adam: Yeah, no, I’m dancing too much.
[1:05:03 – 1:05:05] Adam: I’m smiling too much.
[1:05:05 – 1:05:05] Adam: Damn.
[1:05:06 – 1:05:06] Adam: Woe is me.
[1:05:07 – 1:05:27] Erik: woe is me uh yeah so this is the drum machine in here is great yes oh yeah it’s always changing too it’s just like wait oh here’s a little synth for you yeah were you getting bored you add ruled no no i was not getting bored i am engaged cococo
[1:05:49 – 1:06:14] Erik: good energy good energy positive yeah i’m feeling the vibes yeah it’s a good energy and the whole album’s kind of like that you know it’s not there’s not really too many uh peter cat recording company kind of chill chill out tracks yeah it’s all uh it’s kind of all right there in your face and uh makes me feel good hell yeah all that matters hell yeah
[1:06:23 – 1:06:26] Erik: Do you want to do another one off of your list, good sir?
[1:06:26 – 1:06:33] Erik: I mean, I assume you – Or I can do – should I just do another one, and then we can get down to our bottom couple?
[1:06:33 – 1:06:34] Adam: Yeah, I have two left.
[1:06:34 – 1:06:35] Adam: Okay.
[1:06:36 – 1:06:37] Adam: I know you had a few more than I had.
[1:06:37 – 1:06:37] Adam: I do.
[1:06:37 – 1:06:38] Erik: I have a couple more.
[1:06:40 – 1:06:44] Adam: Blippi wasn’t a real pick anyways, so why don’t you go for doubles here?
[1:06:44 – 1:07:05] Adam: yeah um that’s fair i don’t know maybe you have like my last two i doubt it no i don’t because i know i can see both lists i can yeah i had to send it to you and i was like well i hope this doesn’t spoil anything i think last year somehow we were able to like pulled off where we didn’t see each other’s list until the end yeah and we did kind of both somehow settle on the same album i believe yeah i don’t think that’s going to happen this year
[1:07:06 – 1:07:06] Erik: No, I don’t think so.
[1:07:07 – 1:07:11] Erik: Even though the one that I do see on your list here could, I mean, very easily.
[1:07:11 – 1:07:12] Erik: I was just thinking.
[1:07:12 – 1:07:13] Erik: Yeah.
[1:07:13 – 1:07:14] Adam: One of us is going to pick it.
[1:07:14 – 1:07:16] Erik: Yeah.
[1:07:16 – 1:07:18] Erik: I’m putting on some dead necks.
[1:07:19 – 1:07:19] Erik: Not that dead.
[1:07:19 – 1:07:20] Erik: D-E-H-D.
[1:07:22 – 1:07:22] Erik: Oh, Dade.
[1:07:22 – 1:07:23] Erik: Dade.
[1:07:24 – 1:07:26] Erik: Their album Poetry came out at the beginning of the summer.
[1:07:26 – 1:07:28] Erik: Yeah, you sent me this one too, and it’s really good.
[1:07:29 – 1:07:37] Erik: Yeah, this one’s definitely the closest to if anybody was going to define a summer album, at least in my opinion.
[1:07:38 – 1:07:42] Erik: Bright, melodic, comforting, electric, familiar.
[1:07:42 – 1:07:43] Adam: These are all great words.
[1:07:44 – 1:07:44] Erik: Yet new.
[1:07:45 – 1:07:45] Erik: And new.
[1:07:45 – 1:07:50] Erik: I feel like I know the lyrics to this song, but I’ve never heard it before.
[1:07:51 – 1:07:59] Erik: So just nice little tight two and a half to three and a half minute pop songs.
[1:07:59 – 1:07:59] Adam: That’s nice.
[1:08:00 – 1:08:03] Adam: I feel like all my songs this summer are like six, eight minute songs.
[1:08:03 – 1:08:04] Erik: Yeah, which is fine too.
[1:08:04 – 1:08:05] Erik: It’s great.
[1:08:05 – 1:08:07] Adam: I have a 22 minute drive to work.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:09] Adam: I can listen to a few.
[1:08:09 – 1:08:09] Erik: Yeah.
[1:08:12 – 1:08:32] Adam: and this is crispy as hell already i can tell yeah what’s the album artwork on this one i need to see it’s good also um to i need to i know i’ve listened to it but i just need the album to piece it together speaking of dogs
[1:08:33 – 1:08:33] Adam: That’s the one, yeah.
[1:08:34 – 1:08:38] Erik: It’s like neon purple and red dog outline.
[1:08:38 – 1:08:38] Adam: Yeah.
[1:08:39 – 1:08:41] Erik: It’s very similar to the Wand album.
[1:08:42 – 1:08:45] Adam: If you have a dog on your album cover, I’m all in on that.
[1:08:47 – 1:08:49] Adam: Arrow is over here like, hell yeah, she’s pumped.
[1:08:49 – 1:08:49] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:09 – 1:09:12] UNKNOWN: I won’t, I won’t go down
[1:09:29 – 1:09:30] Erik: They make it seem so simple.
[1:09:30 – 1:09:32] Erik: It’s like, maybe I could write a song like this.
[1:09:33 – 1:09:37] Adam: Yeah, these other kinds of songs are so good that it makes you think, like, I could do it.
[1:09:37 – 1:09:38] Erik: Yeah, totally.
[1:09:38 – 1:09:41] Erik: It’s like the Olympic breakdancing of albums.
[1:09:42 – 1:09:44] Adam: This is the ray gun of pop music.
[1:09:44 – 1:09:45] Adam: Uh-huh.
[1:09:45 – 1:09:46] Adam: Yeah, it makes sense.
[1:10:01 – 1:10:03] Erik: Well, check out Dead.
[1:10:04 – 1:10:04] Erik: Dead.
[1:10:05 – 1:10:05] Erik: Not dead.
[1:10:06 – 1:10:06] Erik: Dead.
[1:10:06 – 1:10:08] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:10:08 – 1:10:11] Erik: Maybe they were an album of the summer.
[1:10:11 – 1:10:15] Erik: One of their previous albums, I feel like.
[1:10:15 – 1:10:16] Erik: I think they were, actually.
[1:10:16 – 1:10:17] Adam: They were mentioned.
[1:10:17 – 1:10:19] Erik: How many albums do they have?
[1:10:20 – 1:10:20] Erik: Two or three.
[1:10:20 – 1:10:22] Erik: Two that I know of for sure.
[1:10:28 – 1:10:51] Erik: don’t look down don’t do it yeah can we play two from charlie xcx i don’t know is that finally we’re broaching that subject that’s the the uh there i there’s something missing there’s shadows and yeah signs of it everywhere but i just can’t put my finger on it it’s a codicil that i’m searching for yeah m colfax can’t figure it out yeah
[1:10:52 – 1:11:18] Adam: this is a general tontine we’re working through by the end of this album you’re gonna end up with your fingers chopped off at the art museum oh my god yeah uh it’s uh full-blown uh i’m still living in a brat summer i don’t know about you it’s brat summer for everybody out there i hope that uh i hope it is at least i hope everybody out there’s at least had a taste yeah i don’t know why i love this song this is one of the of all the songs to pick
[1:11:19 – 1:11:24] Adam: No, I… Auto-tuned, like, beautiful lyric, like… Just…
[1:11:26 – 1:11:27] Adam: This one really speaks to me, Eric.
[1:11:27 – 1:11:28] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:11:28 – 1:11:32] Erik: I don’t know if Charlie’s ever been on any of the…
[1:11:32 – 1:11:38] Erik: I think she was maybe on when we did a Best Album of the Year episode maybe a few years back.
[1:11:38 – 1:11:39] Adam: Well, that’s the thing.
[1:11:39 – 1:11:40] Adam: We used to do all these radio shows.
[1:11:40 – 1:11:42] Adam: I’m sure we’ve talked about a lot of these artists.
[1:11:44 – 1:11:48] Adam: I didn’t go back and listen to any of the previous album of the summer episodes.
[1:11:48 – 1:11:54] Erik: No, but I don’t think that we’ve ever talked about any of her albums in the album of the summer regard.
[1:11:54 – 1:11:56] Erik: But they seem like they should have been, you know?
[1:11:57 – 1:12:02] Erik: And obviously this one, everybody’s been talking about it as the album of the summer.
[1:12:02 – 1:12:02] Adam: Yeah, I don’t know.
[1:12:02 – 1:12:07] Adam: I feel like this is like a pretty anti-Charlie XCX song.
[1:12:07 – 1:12:08] Adam: Yeah.
[1:12:08 – 1:12:10] Adam: But why do I like this song so much?
[1:12:13 – 1:12:15] Adam: This is the one I’m listening to on my ride to work.
[1:12:15 – 1:12:15] Adam: Yeah.
[1:12:16 – 1:12:16] Adam: And then…
[1:12:17 – 1:12:19] Adam: And you listen to B2B on the way home.
[1:12:19 – 1:12:20] Adam: B2B, boat to boat.
[1:12:21 – 1:12:22] Adam: Yeah, boat to boat.
[1:12:22 – 1:12:28] Adam: So we’re going to go with, I might say something stupid, into boat to boat as the combo here.
[1:12:29 – 1:12:30] Adam: This one’s pretty short too.
[1:12:32 – 1:12:34] Erik: Yeah.
[1:12:35 – 1:12:37] Erik: I do really love Brat, obviously.
[1:12:37 – 1:12:40] Erik: I don’t think it’s my favorite Charlie album though.
[1:12:40 – 1:12:43] Adam: No, but it’s so good for this year.
[1:12:43 – 1:13:06] Erik: yeah no i like it i mean i know there’s been uh the last few albums she’s been tied to a recording label and this is like the first like truly on her own album that she’s produced a vocal artist yeah yeah i’ve seen her live that’s crazy that was yeah so this is like more what i would think of
[1:13:06 – 1:13:07] Adam: Yes.
[1:13:07 – 1:13:09] Adam: We’re like, oh, Charlie’s coming out with a new album.
[1:13:09 – 1:13:10] Adam: I was like, okay.
[1:13:12 – 1:13:14] Adam: Anyways, I wanted to play that first track, though.
[1:13:14 – 1:13:16] Adam: There’s something about that one that I always…
[1:13:17 – 1:13:21] Adam: I keep coming back to that track a lot, but this is the kind of stuff I want in summer.
[1:13:22 – 1:13:22] Erik: Yeah.
[1:13:22 – 1:13:23] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[1:13:23 – 1:13:25] Adam: Boat to boat to boat to boat.
[1:13:26 – 1:13:32] Erik: Yeah, talk about need to get up to do just about anything.
[1:13:32 – 1:13:33] Erik: Just put this on.
[1:13:35 – 1:13:39] Erik: I’m sure it’s about cocaine or something, but I don’t care.
[1:13:40 – 1:13:44] Erik: It makes me feel energized and ready to take on anything.
[1:13:46 – 1:13:47] Adam: I like the way it…
[1:13:47 – 1:13:58] Adam: I don’t know if you’d call it a reverse rounding at the end of vocals, but the way it doubles back on itself at the end, if you understand what I’m saying.
[1:13:59 – 1:14:00] Erik: Yeah, the back-to-back part.
[1:14:02 – 1:14:02] Adam: Mm-hmm.
[1:14:02 – 1:14:10] Adam: It just sort of intensifies at the end to the point where it gives me a lot of energy to listen to this song.
[1:14:11 – 1:14:13] Adam: I’ll never get sick of this song.
[1:14:14 – 1:14:14] Erik: Never.
[1:14:14 – 1:14:15] Erik: He says never.
[1:14:16 – 1:14:17] Adam: Back, back, back, back.
[1:14:17 – 1:14:21] Adam: I was trying to pick what is the best song to play off this album.
[1:14:21 – 1:14:22] Adam: It’s hard to pick one.
[1:14:23 – 1:14:25] Adam: It went back and forth a lot, but I ended up here.
[1:14:25 – 1:14:26] Erik: I think I would have for sure picked this one.
[1:14:26 – 1:14:27] Erik: You would have?
[1:14:28 – 1:14:28] Erik: I think so, yeah.
[1:14:28 – 1:14:29] Erik: I’m not sure.
[1:14:29 – 1:14:34] Erik: This is the one I listen to the most, just on its own.
[1:14:34 – 1:14:37] Adam: I’m still not sure it’s the right choice, but man, I love this song.
[1:14:38 – 1:14:39] Erik: No, I don’t know if there is…
[1:14:39 – 1:14:40] Erik: Isn’t that a right or a wrong choice?
[1:14:40 – 1:14:43] Erik: But if I were to pick one, this probably would have been mine.
[1:14:43 – 1:14:45] Erik: It’s the one I listen to the most off of the album.
[1:14:45 – 1:14:45] Adam: Oh, yeah?
[1:14:46 – 1:14:46] Adam: Hell yeah, brother.
[1:14:46 – 1:15:07] Adam: Yeah, so I mean…
[1:15:07 – 1:15:08] Adam: I don’t want to feel feelings.
[1:15:09 – 1:15:09] Adam: I love that.
[1:15:10 – 1:15:10] Adam: I don’t.
[1:15:11 – 1:15:11] Adam: I don’t.
[1:15:13 – 1:15:18] Adam: It’s got to be amongst the most popular albums in the world this year.
[1:15:18 – 1:15:21] Adam: So, again, I just, what are you even doing?
[1:15:21 – 1:15:23] Adam: You’re picking this for album of the summer?
[1:15:23 – 1:15:23] Adam: Yeah, I am.
[1:15:24 – 1:15:24] Adam: That’s fine.
[1:15:24 – 1:15:24] Adam: It’s so good.
[1:15:25 – 1:15:26] Adam: Yeah.
[1:15:26 – 1:15:27] Adam: I feel like it’s cheating, though.
[1:15:27 – 1:15:30] Erik: I feel like if it wouldn’t have been on your list, it would have come up.
[1:15:30 – 1:15:31] Erik: We would have had to have talked about it.
[1:15:31 – 1:15:32] Adam: We would have, yeah.
[1:15:32 – 1:15:34] Erik: I would have been shocked if it wouldn’t have.
[1:15:34 – 1:15:37] Adam: But in all honesty, I am listening to this album every day.
[1:15:37 – 1:15:38] Erik: Yeah.
[1:15:38 – 1:15:38] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[1:15:38 – 1:15:39] Adam: At least once a day.
[1:15:40 – 1:15:46] Adam: And, yeah, even little baby Pike is sick of this album at this point, but I’m not.
[1:15:46 – 1:15:49] Adam: I listen to it every day on the way into town.
[1:15:50 – 1:15:51] Erik: It’s No Machines Part 2.
[1:15:54 – 1:16:16] Adam: yeah it’s a nice uh it’s a really good album i don’t know there’s something about that shade of green too like i just i don’t know something about it is so green so it’s not neon green but it’s too bright so i don’t know it’s like whoever picked that album cover it’s like perfect for that kind of music i guess it’s so it’s so like minimal and
[1:16:17 – 1:16:41] Adam: off i think when i saw that that’s what the album cover was going to be i was just like what yeah because i like something that’s like more interesting but yeah it’s the perfect color for that album uh so pantone pantone up pantone up yeah um yeah i don’t know what this summer would be if it wasn’t a brat summer yeah well i’m glad all of you listening here having a brat summer with us yeah
[1:16:44 – 1:16:45] Erik: I just have a couple more.
[1:16:45 – 1:16:46] Erik: We’re getting down there.
[1:16:46 – 1:16:49] Erik: This album, I don’t know if it’s…
[1:16:49 – 1:16:51] Erik: I’m just going to go ahead and say yes.
[1:16:51 – 1:16:52] Erik: It is an album of the summer for me.
[1:16:53 – 1:16:57] Erik: This is an act that I found actually this last winter.
[1:16:57 – 1:16:58] Erik: And…
[1:16:58 – 1:17:03] Erik: You’ll find an album or a new band, and maybe it’s just an album.
[1:17:03 – 1:17:04] Erik: Sometimes it’s just a song.
[1:17:05 – 1:17:06] Erik: I’ve had that a lot of times.
[1:17:06 – 1:17:10] Erik: Do you ever listen to your Discover Weekly that Spotify puts together?
[1:17:10 – 1:17:12] Adam: Not too much these days, but yes.
[1:17:13 – 1:17:15] Erik: So sometimes you’ll just find a song.
[1:17:15 – 1:17:16] Erik: You’re like, I really like this.
[1:17:16 – 1:17:18] Erik: And then you go and check out the band.
[1:17:18 – 1:17:21] Erik: Sometimes it’s just the song that they’ve made.
[1:17:21 – 1:17:21] Erik: I’m like, what is this?
[1:17:21 – 1:17:23] Adam: They have three songs.
[1:17:23 – 1:17:24] Erik: How do they do that?
[1:17:24 – 1:17:29] Erik: Or the rest of the album is just like, well… Yeah, the algorithm identified it though correctly.
[1:17:29 – 1:17:31] Erik: Yeah, not really into this at all.
[1:17:32 – 1:17:38] Adam: But I guess it’s been a while since I’ve done the album, like whatever your mix of the week or whatever.
[1:17:38 – 1:17:39] Erik: Discover Weekly.
[1:17:40 – 1:17:42] Erik: I listen to it at least once a week still.
[1:17:42 – 1:17:52] Erik: I wouldn’t say I’m very excited about it, but when I remember that I have a new one, I’m like, oh, yeah, I’ll put that on, go for like an hour-long walk, and I’ve listened to most of it, and I usually find…
[1:17:53 – 1:18:22] Erik: a couple of decent tracks and then sometimes it will lead me into an even deeper hell yeah other bands like this you know which is pretty much how i find anything these days is just long winding clicks on spotify other album or other uh people that listen to this also listen to this you’re like well i’ve never heard of this guy what’s that oh who are these and then all of a sudden it’s two hours later and nothing has been accomplished but who’s this jean cochrane no
[1:18:23 – 1:18:23] Erik: Yeah.
[1:18:23 – 1:18:24] Erik: Life is a highway.
[1:18:24 – 1:18:25] Adam: Life is a highway.
[1:18:26 – 1:18:30] Adam: And I want to ride it all night long.
[1:18:30 – 1:18:35] Erik: So I’m playing something off of the Mountainhead album, Everything, Everything.
[1:18:36 – 1:18:38] Erik: It’s a band I’d never heard of.
[1:18:38 – 1:18:38] Erik: I’ve never heard of this.
[1:18:39 – 1:18:44] Erik: Before this spring, this album came out.
[1:18:44 – 1:18:48] Erik: And I just read a description of it, and I was like, well, that sounds interesting.
[1:18:48 – 1:18:48] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[1:18:48 – 1:18:57] Erik: And then I listened to it and I love the album and then have subsequently listened to four or five of their other ones.
[1:18:57 – 1:19:08] Erik: And I don’t think I’ve had a band that’s affected me like this much at this point in my life where I’m just like, I listened to everything that they put out and I love most of it.
[1:19:09 – 1:19:13] Erik: And I could listen to it every day for the rest of my life.
[1:19:13 – 1:19:14] Erik: I feel I’m just like, what?
[1:19:15 – 1:19:16] Erik: It’s just crazy.
[1:19:16 – 1:19:18] Erik: Sometimes you get into like a rut and you’re like, I don’t know.
[1:19:19 – 1:19:21] Erik: I’m just going to go back and listen to this stuff I used to like.
[1:19:21 – 1:19:27] Erik: Is there really going to be anything else out there that like really kickstarts my excitement?
[1:19:27 – 1:19:28] Adam: Isn’t it amazing though?
[1:19:28 – 1:19:32] Adam: Like you think like how many different kinds of, like how many different songs can there be?
[1:19:32 – 1:19:33] Erik: Yeah.
[1:19:33 – 1:19:33] Erik: Oh, exactly.
[1:19:34 – 1:19:35] Erik: And then something like this happens.
[1:19:35 – 1:19:37] Adam: Every little hook has got to be taken at this point.
[1:19:37 – 1:19:37] Erik: Totally.
[1:19:38 – 1:19:39] Adam: No, but it’s not.
[1:19:39 – 1:19:41] Adam: Somebody always out there coming up with something new.
[1:19:41 – 1:19:42] Erik: Yeah.
[1:19:42 – 1:19:43] Erik: It’s amazing.
[1:19:43 – 1:19:46] Erik: It’s everything, everything this year is… Mountainhead?
[1:19:46 – 1:19:47] Erik: Mountainhead is the name of the album.
[1:19:47 – 1:19:51] Erik: It’s a concept album, question mark?
[1:19:52 – 1:20:05] Erik: That’s the description I read of it before I even listened to it about a society who is digging to the bottom of a mountain, but in doing so are burying themselves.
[1:20:05 – 1:20:08] Erik: And I don’t know if I necessarily get that too much.
[1:20:08 – 1:20:09] Erik: Is this a metaphor?
[1:20:09 – 1:20:11] Adam: We don’t want to pin it down.
[1:20:11 – 1:20:32] Erik: yeah I just have concept album question mark very Euro they’re from the UK purposeful esoteric catchy falsetto synthy darker on the edges but I love everything that they’ve come out with and this is the album that came out in 2024 and I still listen to it at least once a week this is Cold Reactor
[1:20:40 – 1:20:42] Adam: by digging a mighty hole.
[1:20:42 – 1:20:47] Adam: Got our books, we’ve carried every rock and stone.
[1:20:47 – 1:20:50] Adam: Another post-it book, not anybody ever planned.
[1:20:50 – 1:20:52] Adam: And we’re blocking out the sun.
[1:20:52 – 1:20:55] Adam: I believe in life, I’m telling you.
[1:21:19 – 1:21:21] Adam: I wish I had that kind of vocal range.
[1:21:22 – 1:21:29] Erik: Honestly, I’ve met a lot of people in my life who get turned off by male singing like this.
[1:21:30 – 1:21:30] Adam: I love it.
[1:21:30 – 1:21:32] Erik: Like too much falsetto.
[1:21:32 – 1:21:32] Adam: No way.
[1:21:32 – 1:21:35] Erik: Like Wild Beasts back in the day.
[1:21:35 – 1:21:36] Erik: I used to listen to them a lot.
[1:21:37 – 1:21:38] Erik: And…
[1:21:40 – 1:22:02] Adam: always kind of had the same response like um you ever hear of like empire of the sun yeah like it’s like it’s got that kind of energy to they have a new album out this year actually which i’ve listened to and i just haven’t had enough chance to listen to it to assess it but yeah i always like the empire of the sun this immediately reminded me of that though as soon as you hit play yeah
[1:22:08 – 1:22:12] Erik: Just four white dudes from England.
[1:22:12 – 1:22:12] Erik: They’re white?
[1:22:13 – 1:22:13] Erik: Yeah.
[1:22:13 – 1:22:14] Adam: Wow.
[1:22:22 – 1:22:28] Erik: And if you like what you hear here, yeah, check out the album Mountainhead.
[1:22:30 – 1:22:37] Erik: Also, Get to Heaven, a 2016 album I’ve been also just as obsessed with.
[1:22:37 – 1:22:41] Erik: Has maybe one of the greatest album covers of all time.
[1:22:44 – 1:22:45] Adam: Do you have that handy?
[1:22:47 – 1:22:51] Erik: I don’t know if I have it handy enough to show you without actually accidentally playing it.
[1:22:51 – 1:22:52] Adam: No, I’ll make note.
[1:22:53 – 1:22:54] Adam: Noted.
[1:22:58 – 1:22:59] Erik: There you go.
[1:23:00 – 1:23:00] Adam: Ah, yeah.
[1:23:01 – 1:23:01] Adam: Oh, my.
[1:23:02 – 1:23:02] Adam: Yeah.
[1:23:02 – 1:23:03] Adam: Well, what’s happening there?
[1:23:04 – 1:23:06] Erik: Well, yeah.
[1:23:06 – 1:23:15] Erik: So it’s kind of, I mean, I guarantee if we ended up doing an album of the year in December, it would be hard to top this.
[1:23:17 – 1:23:19] Adam: I feel like musically the year should end in August.
[1:23:20 – 1:23:35] Erik: Yeah, I mean, it’s crazy, though, how much… My favorite time of year, honestly, is the end of the year for everybody’s lists, and you end up going back and listening to all the albums you missed out on.
[1:23:35 – 1:23:43] Erik: So I feel like even though maybe a bunch of good music didn’t come out in the fall, you get re-exposed to…
[1:23:44 – 1:23:47] Adam: If we had a band, we should drop our album in January.
[1:23:47 – 1:23:48] Adam: This is a power move.
[1:23:48 – 1:23:49] Adam: It’s album of the year.
[1:23:50 – 1:23:51] Adam: We’re dropping it month one.
[1:23:51 – 1:23:53] Adam: It’s going to hang out for 12 months.
[1:23:53 – 1:23:54] Adam: It’s going to stand the test of time.
[1:23:57 – 1:24:00] Adam: I feel like a lot of people are doing that with both movies and music.
[1:24:00 – 1:24:04] Adam: They’re like, we’re dropping it in the last possible month to really gain a lot of traction.
[1:24:05 – 1:24:06] Adam: That’s sort of cheating, though.
[1:24:06 – 1:24:07] Adam: That’s garbage.
[1:24:07 – 1:24:08] Erik: Come on, guys.
[1:24:08 – 1:24:09] Erik: That’s dirty tricks.
[1:24:11 – 1:24:12] Adam: All right.
[1:24:12 – 1:24:13] Adam: Are we ready for Mild Life?
[1:24:14 – 1:24:20] Adam: The real Australian psychedelic synth band that I’ve been dreaming about my whole life.
[1:24:20 – 1:24:20] Erik: Yeah.
[1:24:20 – 1:24:26] Erik: Before we actually do play that, I know when you sent it to me, I was like, this gives me Big Parcels vibes.
[1:24:27 – 1:24:29] Erik: Did you ever listen to any of that Parcels?
[1:24:29 – 1:24:30] Adam: I did, actually.
[1:24:30 – 1:24:32] Adam: I did pull it up, and I agree.
[1:24:33 – 1:24:35] Adam: I need to go back and listen to that more.
[1:24:35 – 1:24:36] Adam: It’s good stuff.
[1:24:36 – 1:24:38] Adam: But it was an apt comparison.
[1:24:38 – 1:24:46] Adam: Yeah, this is… A buddy of mine sent this over, and I was like, I don’t know, threw it on while driving.
[1:24:46 – 1:24:47] Adam: And the first couple of listens…
[1:24:48 – 1:25:09] Adam: i was like not paying attention or something and then it was one of those albums where it took like the third listen when i was at home with headphones on sitting on the coach and then that’s when it really clicked for me this is mild life and they are from australia for real and the name of the album is chorus um i wanted to go with
[1:25:11 – 1:25:13] Erik: Return to Centaurus.
[1:25:13 – 1:25:14] Erik: Love that song.
[1:25:15 – 1:25:17] Adam: Yeah, Return to Centaurus is good.
[1:25:17 – 1:25:18] Adam: It’s really long, though.
[1:25:18 – 1:25:19] Adam: It’s like eight minutes.
[1:25:19 – 1:25:20] Adam: Can we go with Future Life?
[1:25:21 – 1:25:24] Adam: Future Life, I think, does them justice.
[1:25:25 – 1:25:25] Adam: Yeah.
[1:25:27 – 1:25:28] Adam: There’s auto-tuned vocals.
[1:25:29 – 1:25:32] Adam: It’s funky bass lines.
[1:25:32 – 1:25:34] Adam: The album cover is incredible.
[1:25:34 – 1:25:37] Adam: It looks like a Yes album from the 70s.
[1:25:40 – 1:25:45] Adam: The way they tune up all the guitars and the bass lines are so smooth.
[1:25:45 – 1:25:53] Erik: This has definitely been a go-to kitchen before we opened an album, too, just to put on.
[1:25:54 – 1:25:58] Adam: Other people are listening to this because it should be listened to daily by everyone.
[1:25:59 – 1:25:59] Choir: Oh, yeah.
[1:26:00 – 1:26:00] Adam: Ooh.
[1:26:10 – 1:26:19] Adam: This one has a lot of background noise and weird little ticks and beeps in the background if you’re listening to it on a headphone.
[1:26:19 – 1:26:21] Erik: Yeah.
[1:26:24 – 1:26:28] Adam: It’s like 80s Grateful Dead mixed with like…
[1:26:29 – 1:26:30] Erik: So much better than The Grateful Dead, though.
[1:26:30 – 1:26:34] Adam: Yeah, these guys are great.
[1:26:35 – 1:26:35] Adam: This is one, too.
[1:26:35 – 1:26:40] Adam: They have a bunch of other albums that I have not gone backwards and listened to.
[1:26:40 – 1:26:43] Adam: You’re sort of weird about that, though.
[1:26:43 – 1:26:43] Adam: I know.
[1:26:43 – 1:26:44] Adam: I’m saving them.
[1:26:45 – 1:26:47] Adam: It’s a Cormac McCarthy novel or something.
[1:26:48 – 1:26:48] Adam: I’m going to wait.
[1:26:48 – 1:26:52] Erik: Yeah, you did that with Nation of Language.
[1:26:52 – 1:26:52] Adam: I did.
[1:26:52 – 1:26:53] Adam: I’m still waiting.
[1:26:53 – 1:26:56] Adam: I still have one Nation of Language album I haven’t listened to yet.
[1:26:56 – 1:26:57] Adam: Did you make their new album?
[1:26:57 – 1:26:57] Erik: Yeah.
[1:26:58 – 1:26:59] Adam: Yeah, I did.
[1:26:59 – 1:27:00] Adam: It’s good.
[1:27:00 – 1:27:01] Erik: It’s nothing…
[1:27:02 – 1:27:04] Adam: It’s not a great commute, but it’s pretty good.
[1:27:05 – 1:27:10] Adam: But yeah, that’s why it’s like, I like this so much, I don’t even want to give them a chance to ruin it for me.
[1:27:10 – 1:27:13] Erik: Yeah, I totally get that.
[1:27:13 – 1:27:17] Adam: But I trust these guys enough where I feel like everything they’re going to have is great.
[1:27:17 – 1:27:20] Adam: I just don’t want to go into another album yet.
[1:27:20 – 1:27:21] Erik: Yeah.
[1:27:21 – 1:27:33] Erik: Well, the weirdest, not the weirdest, but the hardest thing sometimes is if you’re listening to their latest music, you kind of just assume if you go back.
[1:27:33 – 1:27:34] Adam: It’s going to be the same.
[1:27:34 – 1:27:36] Adam: It’s going to be not as good.
[1:27:36 – 1:27:38] Adam: It will explain where they’ve been.
[1:27:39 – 1:27:39] Adam: Yeah.
[1:27:39 – 1:27:43] Adam: But oftentimes it’s not the same at all, and it’s like a completely different thing.
[1:27:43 – 1:27:45] Adam: Totally, yeah.
[1:27:45 – 1:27:47] Adam: They evolved into the band now that they are.
[1:27:49 – 1:27:55] Adam: I read something about Wand like that and was like, their older stuff is not anything like this new stuff.
[1:27:55 – 1:27:56] Erik: Sure, yeah.
[1:27:56 – 1:28:00] Adam: They moved into this direction as new band members came along.
[1:28:00 – 1:28:03] Adam: Whereas I’m pretty sure My Life has been pretty steady, but…
[1:28:05 – 1:28:09] Adam: I just don’t want to venture into that realm yet.
[1:28:09 – 1:28:17] Adam: I want to leave this album to be on its own and just enjoy the hell out of it because this whole album is so goddamn good.
[1:28:17 – 1:28:17] Erik: Yeah.
[1:28:17 – 1:28:19] Adam: Chorus.
[1:28:19 – 1:28:25] Adam: I normally would pick the title track or the first track or the last track.
[1:28:26 – 1:28:28] Adam: Future Life is like the eighth track in this album.
[1:28:28 – 1:28:33] Adam: It’s a throwaway track by a lot of accounts, but it’s so goddamn good also by itself.
[1:28:35 – 1:28:35] Adam: Yeah.
[1:28:37 – 1:28:38] Adam: There’s just something about this.
[1:28:39 – 1:28:41] Adam: I could just listen to this every single day and never get sick of it.
[1:28:42 – 1:28:44] Adam: It’s right in my wheelhouse, Eric.
[1:28:44 – 1:28:44] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[1:28:44 – 1:28:53] Erik: When you sent this to me, I was like, regardless of whether or not it’s a recommendation from you, I am listening to it solely based on the album cover.
[1:28:53 – 1:28:54] Erik: Yeah, it is.
[1:28:54 – 1:28:54] Erik: It’s really good.
[1:28:55 – 1:29:00] Adam: Return to Centaurus is the final track, which I had also put on my list.
[1:29:00 – 1:29:05] Adam: Again, it’s like an eight-minute epic, but it’s incredible.
[1:29:05 – 1:29:12] Adam: Maybe we can let this go right into Return to Centaurus because I just love that.
[1:29:12 – 1:29:12] Erik: Yeah.
[1:29:14 – 1:29:17] Erik: It’s got, like, also some little, like, Herbie Hancock.
[1:29:18 – 1:29:19] Adam: It does have that.
[1:29:19 – 1:29:20] Adam: It’s very…
[1:29:20 – 1:29:24] Erik: When he’s really pushing the limits of what some would call jazz.
[1:29:24 – 1:29:24] Erik: Yeah.
[1:29:25 – 1:29:34] Adam: Closer to, like… What I like, too, is the album artwork is great, but, like, when you play it on Spotify, they, like, show, like, a little, like, mini video and, like, a scene.
[1:29:34 – 1:29:34] Adam: Mm-hmm.
[1:29:35 – 1:29:36] Adam: Just their visuals.
[1:29:36 – 1:29:44] Adam: Whoever’s in charge of this band’s visuals and marketing is doing a great job because I want more.
[1:29:45 – 1:29:51] Adam: Both listening to the audio and seeing the packaging of everything.
[1:29:52 – 1:30:15] Erik: a plus the description on spotify is oozing onto the scene oozed oozed they oozed onto the scene yeah all right i don’t know grown into one i wish i would like to have this if i was gonna um yeah like this is what i’m talking about just funky
[1:30:17 – 1:30:23] Adam: This is my album in the summer, and if I could have any album that came out this year on vinyl, I would pick this one.
[1:30:23 – 1:30:24] Adam: Actually, I haven’t even looked.
[1:30:24 – 1:30:30] Adam: I assume it’s out there somewhere, but after this show is over, I should go look and just buy this on vinyl.
[1:30:30 – 1:30:30] Erik: I’m sure.
[1:30:30 – 1:30:37] Adam: This is one that I will want to listen to in 2048 and every year in between.
[1:30:37 – 1:30:42] Erik: Like we’ve said, I think we are both appreciators of the full album experience.
[1:30:43 – 1:30:50] Adam: Yeah, this sounds like something you would listen to while sitting on a sand beach watching a red orb, like, float over your campsite, honestly.
[1:30:50 – 1:30:52] Erik: Yeah, I feel like I…
[1:30:55 – 1:31:07] Erik: I always go back and forth as to whether or not I should become a record guy because I could just see it taking a lot of my money.
[1:31:08 – 1:31:10] Adam: Oh, yeah, they ain’t cheap.
[1:31:10 – 1:31:16] Adam: They ain’t cheap because they’re very pricey, but that’s what it takes, though.
[1:31:16 – 1:31:16] Adam: It’s like.
[1:31:18 – 1:31:19] Adam: I love this album so much.
[1:31:19 – 1:31:20] Adam: I want it.
[1:31:21 – 1:31:23] Adam: I want it now and I want it always.
[1:31:23 – 1:31:26] Adam: And the thing is, I have all my favorite albums on vinyl.
[1:31:26 – 1:31:29] Adam: And how often do I really listen to them?
[1:31:29 – 1:31:30] Adam: Really not that often.
[1:31:30 – 1:31:35] Adam: And I have the record player behind it, Baby Gate, so little guy can’t get at him.
[1:31:35 – 1:31:40] Adam: Even then, you whip a football in there and knock the record off the needle and it’s like…
[1:31:41 – 1:31:43] Adam: Okay, well, take it easy, sir.
[1:31:44 – 1:31:52] Adam: But it’s still amazing to just have my top 50 albums of all time in vinyl in the cabinet.
[1:31:53 – 1:32:00] Erik: One of these days, the internet’s going to go out and then nobody’s going to have anything but all their hopes and dreams that no longer exist on Spotify.
[1:32:01 – 1:32:09] Adam: And I do have a battery in the basement that works like an AM FM radio where you just crank the battery and then you get one hour of vinyl.
[1:32:09 – 1:32:12] Erik: It’s our allotted hour of music, family.
[1:32:12 – 1:32:14] Erik: Just enough for one album.
[1:32:15 – 1:32:16] Erik: See, I have nothing like that.
[1:32:17 – 1:32:20] Erik: The only physical media I have anymore is just movies.
[1:32:21 – 1:32:23] Adam: Yeah, I’ve got like four DVDs.
[1:32:23 – 1:32:23] Adam: Yeah.
[1:32:24 – 1:32:25] Adam: And then I have all my albums.
[1:32:26 – 1:32:30] Adam: And like I said, this is on the list of the next album I want to buy.
[1:32:30 – 1:32:32] Adam: So I’ll have to go and look and see.
[1:32:32 – 1:32:33] Adam: What do you think this costs?
[1:32:33 – 1:32:34] Adam: It’s probably like $50.
[1:32:34 – 1:32:36] Erik: $30, I would guess.
[1:32:36 – 1:32:38] Adam: Import it from Bruce Bain Direct.
[1:32:38 – 1:32:40] Erik: Probably $30 just to get you in the door.
[1:32:40 – 1:32:41] Erik: Yeah.
[1:32:41 – 1:32:42] Erik: $50 if you wanted to get the deluxe.
[1:32:42 – 1:32:43] Erik: That’s the thing.
[1:32:43 – 1:32:44] Erik: Vinyl is sick.
[1:32:44 – 1:32:45] Erik: Fancy colored vinyl.
[1:32:45 – 1:32:46] Adam: I know.
[1:32:46 – 1:32:47] Adam: I want the fancy colors.
[1:32:47 – 1:32:47] Adam: Totally.
[1:32:47 – 1:32:48] Adam: I want it.
[1:32:48 – 1:32:49] Erik: Why would you buy a normal colored valet?
[1:32:49 – 1:32:50] Erik: It’s ridiculous.
[1:32:50 – 1:32:51] Erik: I don’t want the black one.
[1:32:51 – 1:32:55] Adam: I want a see-through with a tie-dye and a crazy stamp.
[1:32:55 – 1:32:56] Erik: Comes with a little booklet.
[1:32:56 – 1:33:00] Adam: It’s kind of like a lot of overlap between disc golf discs and vinyl.
[1:33:00 – 1:33:01] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[1:33:01 – 1:33:02] Adam: I want the special edition, Eric.
[1:33:02 – 1:33:03] Erik: Yeah.
[1:33:03 – 1:33:08] Erik: I mean, I still feel like there’s time and money in my life for that to happen.
[1:33:09 – 1:33:14] Erik: I just want to be able to do it right because right now I don’t have the space.
[1:33:15 – 1:33:16] Erik: I really don’t have the money.
[1:33:16 – 1:33:18] Adam: I buy like one or two a year at this point.
[1:33:19 – 1:33:19] Adam: Yeah.
[1:33:19 – 1:33:21] Erik: Well, that would be my problem is I would have to start from scratch.
[1:33:21 – 1:33:22] Erik: So I’d be like, well.
[1:33:22 – 1:33:23] Erik: Well, I used to have a bunch.
[1:33:23 – 1:33:24] Adam: Yeah.
[1:33:24 – 1:33:28] Erik: I need to start with like at least allotting myself the.
[1:33:29 – 1:33:31] Erik: You need a starter budget.
[1:33:31 – 1:33:34] Erik: Like I need to be able to buy like 50 albums right away.
[1:33:34 – 1:33:34] Erik: Right.
[1:33:34 – 1:33:36] Erik: Which would be like, well, there’s a few thousand dollars.
[1:33:36 – 1:33:40] Adam: Man, I used to have like a whole pile of them and I gave them all away when I moved up here.
[1:33:40 – 1:33:41] Adam: Yeah.
[1:33:41 – 1:33:42] Adam: I didn’t have room in the truck for those.
[1:33:43 – 1:33:44] Adam: I didn’t even have a record player anymore.
[1:33:45 – 1:33:50] Adam: I wish I still had those records back, though, but I’m slowly building it back up.
[1:33:50 – 1:33:51] Erik: I have no idea what the…
[1:33:53 – 1:33:57] Erik: That, like, synthesizer, whatever that is.
[1:33:57 – 1:34:04] Adam: I saw, like, a video, I think last year we were talking about Tenarwin, and I was like, man, the video of these guys playing, like, really sold me on them.
[1:34:04 – 1:34:04] Adam: Yeah.
[1:34:04 – 1:34:09] Adam: And I saw a video of these guys playing, and he’s got, like, the double-necked guitar doing this.
[1:34:09 – 1:34:11] Erik: Mm-hmm.

[1:34:44 – 1:34:52] Adam: There’s a lot of little fine detail to it, which I think that’s what separates a good album to a great album.
[1:34:52 – 1:34:54] Adam: It’s like, okay, this is catchy as hell.
[1:34:55 – 1:34:59] Adam: Everything about it, I love it, but the more you listen to it, the more little things you notice.

[1:35:50 – 1:35:51] Erik: Los Campesinos.
[1:35:53 – 1:35:57] Erik: And I think it’s probably closest in terms of trying to describe…
[1:35:57 – 1:35:59] Erik: I’m sure people know Los Campesinos.
[1:35:59 – 1:36:00] Erik: They’ve been…
[1:36:01 – 1:36:27] Erik: kind of off and on in the like indie realm for as long as I can remember I remember listening to a few of their records when I was in high school and college hadn’t really even considered them as really making music anymore and when I saw that they had a new album out I was kind of just like oh they’re doing it again I guess I’ll check it out I was like I think I’m probably over that sound
[1:36:28 – 1:36:30] Erik: Um, but I don’t know what it is about it.
[1:36:31 – 1:36:34] Erik: It brings me back to those early records.
[1:36:34 – 1:36:36] Erik: It also even goes like a little farther back than that.
[1:36:37 – 1:36:45] Erik: It kind of reminds me of, uh, when you were talking about Wand, it’s kind of got that, like, it doesn’t sound like it should be from 2024.
[1:36:46 – 1:36:50] Erik: It kind of gives you, um, yeah, just like those early days of,
[1:36:54 – 1:37:15] Erik: just like rock and roll music i don’t even know like it’s big sounding yet it’s like really intimate uh the lyrics are kind of like um foreboding in like uh kind of like a cynical kind of way sort of which i always i’m always an appreciator of that oh yeah um
[1:37:16 – 1:37:31] Erik: So, yeah, and this has been almost a daily listen, and you could pick any track off of this album, and you’ll have a good time.
[1:37:31 – 1:37:32] Erik: You’re going to have a good time.
[1:37:32 – 1:37:33] Erik: You’re going to have a good time.
[1:37:33 – 1:37:33] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:37:33 – 1:37:38] Adam: Maybe not a good time, but… You’re going to have a good time like you’re driving down the Lincoln Highway.

[1:37:46 – 1:37:46] Erik: All hell?
[1:37:47 – 1:37:47] Erik: All hell.
[1:37:47 – 1:37:49] Erik: They’re from Wales.
[1:37:50 – 1:37:58] Erik: Feasting on the tongues of the last bootlickers to the tune of the national anthem of a country that didn’t survive in a language I’ve learned and forgotten.
[1:37:58 – 1:37:59] Erik: I’ll stay home.
[1:37:59 – 1:38:00] Erik: Keep the garden alive.

[1:38:41 – 1:38:42] Erik: The mezzanine.
[1:39:00 – 1:39:07] Choir: Love lies bleeding in dead bouquet Dread the dripping years and wish away each day
[1:39:08 – 1:39:37] Choir: Where I’ve lived through all of your nightmares If it meant that I could sleep okay She says the body is keeping score Lost in sudden death She can’t take it no more And if laughter’s the medicine we need Then this misery is therapy I want the trust of every animal
[1:39:38 – 1:39:58] Choir: Gonna bathe for the blood Of those that are hurting ya When the black cloud comes If one flame flickers We will feast on the tongues Of the last bootlickers
[1:40:28 – 1:40:57] Countryish Music: Love lies bleeding to sobriquet As the petals fall, the pet names do the same Keep a list of what ails me Tear to the elderly skeleton inside my frame Time will come when we know that we are the Drive to the horizon of American water Bankrupt or frozen, donation thermometer Grab you by the hips and say it’s you that I’m grateful for
[1:40:58 – 1:41:25] Countryish Music: And I want the trust of every animal Gonna pay for the blood of those that are hurting ya When the black cloud comes, if one flame flickers We will feast on the tongues of the last blue lickers
[1:41:27 – 1:41:40] Adam: To the tune of the national anthem Of a country that didn’t survive In a language I’ve learned and forgotten I’ll stay home, keep the garden
[1:42:11 – 1:42:16] UNKNOWN: the trust of every animal.
[1:42:17 – 1:42:25] Adam: Gonna pay for the blood of those that are hurting young.
[1:42:25 – 1:42:26] Adam: When the black
[1:42:39 – 1:42:44] Adam: You were the national anthem of a country that didn’t survive.
[1:42:44 – 1:42:51] Adam: In a language I’ve learned and forgotten, I’ll stay home and keep the garden alive.
[1:42:51 – 1:42:59] Adam: A stone, a millstone, a molehill, a molehill to die upon.
