Edie Brickell & New Bohemians: Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars

Have you ever found yourself lost in the rhythms of a forgotten tune only to have it transport you back in time? That's the magic we unearth as Tim and I, your hosts, reminisce about Edie Brickell & New Bohemians' seminal album "Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars." Join us for a heartfelt expedition through the origins of this iconic band, as we salute the late Brad Hauser and bypass the hits to spotlight our personal favorite deep cuts. We'll explore the rich tapestry of folk, rock, and pop that catapulted Edie and the gang to stardom, all while Tim's guitar strings echo the soundtrack of our musings.

As the strumming continues, we weave a vibrant discussion that transcends mere music critique and delves into the philosophical and cosmic connections that tie us all together. This episode is an eclectic cocktail of culture, laughter, and introspection, garnished with a twist of whimsy. From comparing music to the unassuming grin of a dog to contemplating our shared stardust heritage, we invite you to ponder the profound and chuckle at the absurd. Be ready to get a glimpse of Edie Brickell's life post-New Bohemians, interspersed with references to the ever-quirky "Zoolander."

Closing out the show, we discuss the yin and yang of musical moods and the importance of variety to cleanse our auditory palates. Whether you've spent your week with the grunge of Pearl Jam or the progressive tunes of Yes, we're here to ease you back with something a little more soothing. Our conversation is a reminder of the rejuvenating power of music and its ability to guide us through the ebb and flow of life's moments. So, as you step into the upcoming week, take a moment to refresh your playlist and your soul with the eclectic sounds we've celebrated today.

Speaker 1 0:02

How are you taking all this tension?

Speaker 2 0:03

It's a lot of fun. Since the security get to do what you want to do for a living, it feels good. It's a lot better than what we were doing. Which is what people told you to do. Being a frustrated employee is working for frustrated employers. Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 7 0:29

Alright, thank you for listening to the Greatest Nine Pets. I'm Chris, and playing the guitar riff from what I Am is my co-host, tim, and thank you so much for listening. This is going to be a fun episode because the subject matter of today's episode is going to be an album called Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars, which is the debut album for Edie Beckel and the new Bohemians who formed in 1985 in their neighborhood in Dallas, texas so, I'm sorry, mid-80s, like 85 around that time and it was this particular album and the song that Tim's playing that really brought them to huge popularity, and this album, I think, sold a couple million albums at least. So Edie Beckel, I think, went on to marry Paul Simon four years later when they played on SNL, and I think the rest of the band members continued with music, the great musicians, in my opinion I love the music on this album. Shout out to all of those, the gentlemen members past and present, even I mean up until a couple of years ago I at least saw on their website that they had been touring, but I think with some of the past band members, I believe it's Brad Hauser, a bass player, who passed away, I think months ago, back in July of 23. So thoughts and prayers go out to his family, who might be saddened by that loss, in which case, if it's any I mean for any, you know any support that we can give a great musician, and he left a legacy that we're going to appreciate today.

Speaker 7 2:37

There's also past band members or current members. I think it's Brandon Alley he was on this album Edie Beckel, kenny Withrow and John Bush I think Kenny was a guitar player, brad Hauser bass he started off as a Vibraslatt player, something of that nature, and I think Brandon Alley played drums and John Bush percussion. So that rounds out the lineup from the day. There were several hits on this album Actually two, I shouldn't say seven. What am I thinking? What I am, of course, was the big one and then a follow-up single by the name.

Speaker 7 3:26

Circle. I think it was more of a actually a slower ballad from what I am, so those two songs will be excluded from what we're going to be voting on, which are the three top non-hits.

Speaker 7 3:45

We listen to all the songs on the album. We'll make our three non-hits, as we always do. So if you're new to the podcast, welcome. And if you're one of our avid listeners, thank you and continue to listen. It's so well appreciated by both of us. So I would say the band's sound is characterized by a blend of folk, rock, pop elements. You know there's all kinds of different styles. They're from Dallas, texas, so you can hear the southern draw. They're kind of hippies, but they're sort of not. They're Bohemian, the new Bohemians.

Speaker 7 4:30

She has also a very distinctive song, very poetic lyrics. I think they released a few more albums after this debut album in the early 90s. I think they had gone on hiatus at times. Maybe I don't know if she ever did a. I mean, I think that it just sort of fizzled out. They reunited in the late 2000s, I think, and had really some music and performed live around that time, I think all the way up. Like I said, I'll wait until like 2021, like after the pandemic. I think it was like the last of their more recent gigs and then, as I mentioned, Brad.

Speaker 7 5:13

House were passed away July of 23. So what the future has, you know, in the cards for them. We'll wait and see. But they made a lasting and a huge impact on the alternative rock scene. And think about this it was 1988. This was August of 1988, just when I was transitioning from high school to college. I remember this being played a lot by my very first semester of college, now that I think about it. So nobody disliked this. It does it, Rick. It rips, it rips, it cooks. We dig it. Like I said, we got a lot in store for you. We've got a lot of funny sound clips. You know from movies, I think in 1988, there's a movie called Moving that came out.

Speaker 8 6:13

I was like stand a car. No man, you can't talk to Brad. I can't talk to Brad. No one knows who Brad is, me. So anyway.

Speaker 7 6:22

That's Dana Carvey playing a schizophrenic who his name is Brad, but he gets hired to move a guy's car across the country. He didn't realize he was schizophrenic, and so the different personalities took over and was driving the car and went all over the place. It was hysterical. I guess probably trends in line with when this came out as well. So I think like the main thing, though, is that it kind of has an alternative feel to it, and it's before. You know the nineties, you know the grunge scene, so I mean, we went back for this one. I know we're in season three now and the rule of thumb is to go with the nineties album. We're bucking the trend a little bit. It's at the end of the eighties and it had lasting popularity in the nineties, and it kind of sounds like a nineties song. So I think it's. I think it's good. That was awesome. I love that, yeah, so you know you're you're playing is starting to get. You're taking it to the next level.

Speaker 3 7:29

I mean, you know, you're way down.

Speaker 7 7:31

Yeah, you're going deeper and deeper, so, oh, so how you been bud.

Speaker 1 7:38

Oh, I'm good, you know you know what I mean.

Speaker 7 7:42

I'm not sure if I do know what you mean but yeah, I know what you mean.

Speaker 1 7:47

If you know what I mean, yeah you know I know what you know.

Speaker 9 7:53

I'm not sure I do know what you mean.

Speaker 7 7:55

Yeah, okay, yeah, see Jerry's, jerry's in agreement.

Speaker 1 8:01

Anyway, listen, this is great. Yeah, glad to be here.

Speaker 7 8:05

Yeah, I love that song.

Speaker 1 8:06

No, it was good. It's a good noodle. Um, with Rose got it going on with these catchy songwriting abilities and Edie's voice is great.

Speaker 7 8:16

And yeah, they kind of came into the band afterwards. The other guys were actually, I think, the core and yeah, in the interview that we played, that clip that we played, she goes on to say that it's the other guys and the but she and with Rowe kind of came into their band.

Speaker 1 8:33

Right, they, she worked up the courage. Yeah, exactly, and a shout out to Jack Daniels, I guess, for helping facilitate this band's existence as well.

Speaker 7 8:41

Yeah exactly Like cause, I think like the core of the band were playing and they met at a bar late at night. They were like, you know, they're hitting it off, you know. And then, yeah, she had another shot of Jack and she went up on stage with them as they were playing.

Speaker 1 8:54

Yeah, the rest is history. Two in the morning, something like that, exactly. So I also did a little bit of album cover drawing, trying to replicate the album cover. It seems like I could draw it. Give me some time I can get some color pencils out. Have a good little drawing.

Speaker 7 9:15

Yeah.

Speaker 1 9:16

Well, it's one of my favorite album covers of all time.

Speaker 7 9:19

This looks like something that would be on your wall. It's pretty awesome. Yeah, your place.

Speaker 1 9:24

It's very artsy, you know, it's palm tree. A cat with lips like human lips.

Speaker 7 9:29

Yeah, it looks like it's been drawn by a third grader. Stars, with all due respect, I mean I appreciate your art Artistic abilities.

Speaker 1 9:36

Third graders are the best artists. You know who said it. But Pablo Picasso Something, something challenges. You know creating art like a child or something I don't know. You know what I mean? Okay, yeah.

This is a love song. Yeah, I love a song.

Speaker 7 17:42

Yeah, I feel like I, If I'm in the right mood, I could like this song, but like two to three times out of every ten times I listen this I could probably right like it. Otherwise it just feels like it's.

Speaker 1 17:55

It's calm. It's calm. It's falling a little flat, yeah, but it's supposed to be about.

Speaker 7 18:08

It's really for self-reflection people who've gone the wrong way in their life.

Speaker 1 18:14

Yeah and I mean, and for that it's a good song.

Speaker 7 18:21

But I think the people who it's it should be for won't listen to the song. It's probably gonna be like this song sucks Right and they're not gonna take the message in it. Like it needs to be a little bit more down and dirty. This is a nice person song.

Maybe this song should have been bigger than it was. She knows where her head is at.

Speaker 1 43:29

She'd call her home. Maybe it's just a little too long, maybe.

Speaker 7 43:34

That's probably what it was. They couldn't sell it to a radio Radio station wouldn't play it.

Speaker 1 43:41

It was too long. It means five minutes, but still the whole world is not at home. When there's nothing left room for you, ga just has to play it. I don't understand the length of the song argument. I guess commercials or whatever.

Speaker 7 1:00:14

Delicate yeah.

Speaker 1 1:00:19

So delicate.

Speaker 7 1:00:20

Yeah, all right, man, that's the end. Oh man, wow, that was a good one Little palette cleanser. It's a little ebriquel from the next album.

Speaker 1 1:00:35

Sitting on the front porch.

Speaker 5 1:00:37

On the shop. Rocker Go around the block, they come back, they go around again, they just go around and run, run and run.

Speaker 1 1:00:46

You know, Okay, so, so we gotta go on.

Speaker 7 1:00:50

We gotta do our top three man. What are we looking at here?

Speaker 1 1:00:54

What's your?

Speaker 7 1:00:54

number three you, uh, you need a second to compose yourself.

Speaker 1 1:00:58

Keep coming back is a solid track, uh huh, and it's got a ripping solo and the bands in the pocket, so I'm going to keep coming back.

Speaker 7 1:01:07

For number three, yeah, well, that's a good one, because it's the music and it's a country and western kind of thing, which is a departure from everything else that they were doing here?

Speaker 1 1:01:18

Yeah, I'm getting into that. You know, sean, or more, and they do it well.

Speaker 7 1:01:22

Yeah, well, yeah, and without it being like their, their bread and butter. So yeah, I was thinking about that as one, but it was just a little bit on the fence for me. Um, and then my number three is I do nice that last one. I thought that was, it was beautiful and it was uh, it was uh, it was just something, something about it that, uh, it gets me right there, kind of a thing.

Speaker 1 1:01:58

It was a Right in the middle.

Speaker 7 1:01:59

It's a very sweet sentiment, but it's like a moving on from the relationship. Yeah, it's a. It represents I can fill in the spaces now I can. I can function as a human being without you in my life.

Speaker 1 1:02:14

Yeah, once again, it's a kind of thing, it is a very touching stuff, lifting in that way. Yeah, I'm going with the the bangers on this one.

Speaker 7 1:02:25

With number two number two.

Speaker 1 1:02:27

Yeah, I'm not, I'm really doing any. There's their quiet songs, but um, I'm going now.

Speaker 7 1:02:36

Now number two. That was a good one.

Speaker 1 1:02:38

That's a good spell on the album the now and to keep coming back. Right, keeps you coming back. It's on. It could be Really good exercise music, really good in the background music, for sure.

Speaker 7 1:02:52

Yeah, keep coming back, and now we're strong and.

Speaker 7 1:02:57

I don't want to take anything away and at any given day those proud, those two tracks in my mind could be. Probably I could probably like them more than my number three. Number two I'm gonna go with she nice. She was a good one because I mean at all of these, like all four of these that we've done so far, because you've got yeah now and Keep, keep coming back. She and I do for me, nice are a couple that I just thought that this, the guitar solo on that one, was really oh yeah that made it, and so it's got to be up there.

Speaker 1 1:03:34

It's a little longer. Yeah, it's a little bit longer and I like that same sheet, number one, definitely, yeah, honorable mention for air of December. But I think Actually some of the later tracks on this one are better Surprising yeah, yeah, no number air of December was my number one.

Speaker 7 1:03:56

Nice I just thought it was. I can understand where you're coming from. With Down the road, I think the music is more impressive. I keep coming back as well as she. But yeah, there was something that I liked about, like the subtlety and the timing of how the song all comes together. It for effect and yeah, it's got a really just kind of like a chill kind of a vibe and but it was warm and it was. They use a good, good use of the bass to fill in a lot of the air.

Speaker 1 1:04:32

Definitely so. I like air songs that kind of come go flat or little miss s mm-hmm Love like we do and beat the time and not and nothing. Those kind of fell flat for me. But the solid album all in all, very, very tasteful, tasteful More tasteful than us, that's for damn sure.
