Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Intro

Physical space for CDs

Class action lawsuits

The new SLEEP album

Most bands that have been together for 40 years are incapable of making 10 more good records

Long running band discographies, and enjoying it as a whole

The new Mike D album

Return to the "Best Rapper/artist that became an actor" - LL Cool J

Working at the movie theater when Deep Blue Sea was in the theater

Soundtrack to movies that the artist does the song(s)

One-track/Cassette singles

Bone Thugs and Harmony

The phrases "Back East", "mid-west", "over the pond", "on the coast" sound ridiculous

The new Mike D album continued

Released on a cool looking cassette

Cassette tapes in-general

Making compilation tapes/CDs for people

The first Bruce Springsteen album

Shoutout to SP!

10 years ago we went to see SWANS at Crescent Ballroom

Seeing SWANS live... and the "noise rock/art" genre

Some of the best bands, who made the best songs, never made it out of the "local scene"

New CZARFACE/Frankie Pulitzer album

Is good, but doesn't get extra notoriety because of Tom Hardy being involved

Do you trust your Social Media algorithm?

Metallica tour with Limp Biscuit and AVATAR

The 90s resurgence

Metal heads are the nicest/sweetest people of any music scene

Algorithm continued...

Jerry Zhao and other social media personas and "brainrot"

Controlling the social media addiction

Putting the podcast into the algorithm by interacting more

Development of our podcast and who it's for and how it will spread

"We're not all famous, and we're not all talented."

Over 78% of podcasts don't get past 7 episodes

Personal social media page vs the podcast page

"Posts" vs "Content"

Getting older and understanding what came from your formative years

What is even considered, or how do you say what is, "new music"?

"Professional Musician" as a career

Going to see a huge stadium show/festival isn't something we would want to do now

Getting knocked out in the pit at Slayer

Meeting people in Phoenix you ask "where are you from?" which is mostly unique to Phoenix

Downtown Phoenix is such a hassle

It has to be a special occasion to go out to a show nowadays that we're old

Live music is the best way to consume music.

Our show has little or no plan, with very few real topics

We have a ton of CDs of one group that the average person doesn't even know the group

You can't count Grateful Dead live bootlegs as "albums released"

David Bowie's Blackstar released two days before his death

What band/group/artist did you get into after they were already established?

- Queens of the Stone Age

- Guided By Voices

People who tried to stump Jared with new bands that he actually likes

Getting excited about new albums from groups we like

- Domi & JD Beck WHO ASKED? follow-up with YOU ASKED! (the instrumental version)

- Ty Segall

- Sleep

- Dinosaur Jr

Who cares about The Strokes after the first two albums?

The Beatles had two geniuses and one of them isn't Paul McCartney...

Sting solo albums, and Sting being the worst part of The Police

Henry Rollins on Howard Stern talking about U2

Musicians that turned into actors...

Soundtrack albums

"Life Is a Highway" - one of the top five worst songs ever

The first year of MTV was shit

Musicians that turned into actors continued...

- ELVIS!

- David Bowie

Hilarious CD shopping experiences:

- The white guy at the Goodwill

- People that crowd in on you while you're looking at CDs

- IT'S THE BLOOD THAT JESUS SHED!

- You got any Five Finger Death Punch?

Now we're talking about Five Finger Death Punch and whatever type of "metal" that is.

What is Heavy Metal anyway?

In 1989 Jethro Tull wins a Grammy over Metallica ... And Justice For All

Iggy Pop and The Stooges... then The Replacements

Roxy Music in movies - Flashbacks of a Fool

- Movies and books with huge musical references

Glasgow music scene

- Scotland produces great music

Australia has great bands too

- INXS Kick is a perfect record

How musicians are spending their "off" time, it's not surprising if they turn into addicts

Bands ending their shows with a cover song

Built To Spill played Freebird and "released" and unofficial bootleg CD

Musicians that turned into actors continued...

- Queen Latifah

Reality TV shows and American Idol

Piercings

Mark Walberg movie Rockstar

90s fashion coming back

CDs outsold vinyl for the first time in years

How long is a CD?

What's the difference between an EP and an LP?

Bands that come through Phoenix; either sold out when we don't think it will be, or no one there at all.

Record stores in the 90s and early 2000s.

Buying music online at odd shops like FYE.

Alphabetical band names where the shop doesn't have what i want but terrible shit all around it.

Rolling Stone magazine (is trash)

Cassette tapes. Making mix tapes. Tape deck in your car. Headphone jack tape to connect MP3 player or CD player.

AC/DC is terrible, but we still spend 5 minutes talking about it.

Old hardcore bands playing together again after 20 years and all their songs are about being 15.

Pennsylvania hardcore bands and venues.

Bands that quit for 20 years and are back at it. Could they or should they make a new album?

Rhythym Room closing.

Karate: the band.

Overrated cult classics.

Tupac... ICP... Cardi B WAP... 2 Live Crew...

No bad press!

Terrible pop country music.

Musical tastes that don't mature.

What we've been listening to.
