S6 – Ep 10 | 1967 Album Picks, Either/Or Battles & Dig It or Dump It

Craig and Kevin switch things up this week, diving straight into their albums of the week, spotlighting the year 1967 — one of the most transformative years in music history.

Craig kicks things off with Magic Sam’s West Side Soul, a blues classic that helped define the Chicago West Side sound with its smooth guitar work and emotional depth. Kevin follows with Country Joe & The Fish’s Electric Music for the Mind and Body, a psychedelic landmark that perfectly captures the counterculture spirit of the late ‘60s.

From there, the guys shift gears into a back-and-forth round of Either/Or, each throwing 10 matchups at the other — forcing quick decisions and sparking some unexpected debates.

To close things out, Craig puts Kevin on the spot with another round of Dig It, Dump It, or Don’t Know It, mixing in artists, genres, and curveballs that keep things unpredictable.

From blues to psychedelia to rapid-fire reactions — this one covers it all.

Schizophrenic Music is a signal syndicate production.

SPEAKER_00 0:21

Hello, and welcome into the schizophrenic music podcast. My name is Craig, and I'm here with Kevin. Hello. And we are going to talk music, of course, because it's in our name. Better do it. Yes. Otherwise, it's it's false advertising, and we're not gonna we're not gonna stand for that. Right. Hey, uh, we're gonna dive into a couple things here. We've got our album of the week, underrated, overlooked, or both that we feel for a particular year, this year being 1967. Uh, we've covered a lot of 60s in this range. There's several of them we've done. We're gonna do that, and then I've got some stuff for Kevin. I got a couple of things for Kevin. Um, um we're gonna switch things up this time, and we're going to do I propose we do our albums first and then we have a little bit of fun afterwards. But before we do that, before we do anything, I just have a question for you, Kevin. What you want? What you got?

SPEAKER_03 1:21

Glass of water.

unknown 1:24

Okay, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 1:25

Actually, this is a beer, and you know, I'll elaborate. Uh I haven't had this in a while, and I haven't had it. I think I don't, I know I haven't done it on uh schizophrenic music, but it was like when I'm babbling, but when Atlanta started kicking off and started doing like craft beers, there were basically two breweries that were the main craft breweries. I don't want to say Atlanta, Atlanta area, so Atlanta and Athens, I guess you want to say, and that were Sweetwater and Terrapin. And Terrapin, I haven't had a hobsecutioner in quite some time. So I got the terrapin hopsecution PA.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Awesome. I remember in Atlanta when we had just red brick. Do you remember Red Brick?

SPEAKER_03 2:12

Red Brick, right, with brewery, like that used to be, and they're not even. I did our the band, we did different things. They did all kinds of fundraisers down there, played down there like about half a dozen times. It was really cool.

SPEAKER_00 2:25

Yeah, and it was cool spot.

SPEAKER_03 2:27

And then it was Dogwood. Well, Dogwood was a great beer, and they had a great facility over on the on the west side. But they're gone now, right? Though they're gone totally, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:37

Sucks. All right. I went um a little mainstream. I was feeling a little uh feeling a little sour. So I got the dogfish head sequential or sequench ale, sequentiale, sequential.

SPEAKER_03 2:52

Just I gotta get maybe we had to give sours more of a chance. I'm just not a source.

SPEAKER_00 2:57

This is a good gate gateway because it's a it's a uh a sour with lime. So we you know we're used to having lime in our beers with our coronas and stuff like that, right? But uh it's a it's a session sour, so it's really, really light, crisp. It's good stuff. All right. So last time when we cracked it open, I didn't hear anything. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. We we we've been on a streak of like four or five times in row. All right, let's see. You ready? Yeah, three, two, one.

SPEAKER_03 3:33

It had to be simultaneous. I mean, it was great, but no, but terrip and I remember before they had Hopsecutioner, they had like the rye ale was the first one they came out with. I was like, man, that was good. We had like basically 420 and terrapin rye.

SPEAKER_00 3:48

Those were your options if you went to you remember Wing Factory over there by the store uh by the uh by uh Tow Cryer, we would go play trivia there and you get pictures, and we go with whatever the special was. And it was usually 420. Um but I preferred the rye pale ale, honestly. I really did. I haven't even seen that. They still make that? Cheers. They do, yeah. Kevin, I propose this week we switch things up and we go with the albums before we do our grilling each other. What do you think?

SPEAKER_03 4:24

Works for me, works definitely. I'm cool with that.

SPEAKER_00 4:28

All right, do you want to go first or do you want me to go first? I'll let you go this time around. Right. All right, so once again, this is 1967. So Kevin and I were talking about this. We're texting back and forth, and it was 67. I got a little confused because this album is a little, I don't know, it's a little controversial. It was recorded in 67. Some people have it released in 67. I do. Uh, and then other publications have it as 68. So we're gonna go with 67. Uh, and that being Magic Sam's West Side Soul. I'm telling you, man, this album, as far as blues goes, is one of the Pinnacle Blues albums out there. Not many people, um, not many people know of him. Uh, they don't know the name. It's not underrated. I mean, this is a highly, highly regarded album. And I'll and I'll read a couple of snippets for you, too, that'll kind of encapsulate that. But um name somebody that knows him. I I bet there's some big fans out there that don't know his name. So um just a remarkable artist. Uh West Side Soul is his debut album. He only had two proper albums. He had a follow-up to this uh a year later called Black Magic. It is excellent. Uh, but West Side Soul is like the pinnacle of this style of music, the pinnacle of blues. Um, here's a snippet from Allmusic. They gave it five stars. Uh, one of their most notable critics, writers is Stephen Thomas Erlwine. He gave it five out of five, and he said, This isn't an album that's to be preserved in amber, seen only as an important record, because this is a record that is exploding with life, a record with so much energy that it doesn't sound old. Of course, part of the reason it doesn't sound old, sounds so modern, is because this is the template for most modern blues, whether it comes from Chicago or elsewhere. I'm like, all right, cool. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's and he's right. Um, I remember when I read the review, I felt so vindicated. Uh, because I was like, I why am I so blown away by this album? My first experience with him was a compilation. I was at a CD store, I bought something else, and they had like this just bargain. It wasn't even a bargain bin, it was just a bargain box on the by on the counter, two bucks. And it was uh it was on Del Mark Blues, same label as this, and it's it was the Legacy of Magic Sam. And I gave two bucks, I'll give it a shot. And we literally, we were on I mean, for two bucks, why not? And we were literally on our way to uh Savannah. We were going to scope out some property out there to see if it was if it made sense to open a store out there. It did not, but anyway, so we're we were only there for overnight. Um, but dude, I did not take the CD out of the player. I was just so floored by his voice and his guitar, everything was just so fluid. It was he was to me felt like the Jimi Hendrickson blues, if that makes sense. Um, and then I realized only to realize after those were demos, those were alternate takes and demos. They weren't even so I was like, oh, demos albums start. And then I picked this up without reading the review, listened to it, and I'm like, holy crap! And if this is the the time when we had the all music guide, we actually had the book, right? Remember flipping through, and I was like, Right, not the not right, yeah. And Steven's like, five out of five, this is a this is one of the most important albums that ever. And I'm like, Thank you, because that's the way I felt the very first time I listened to it. So anyway, I've mentioned this before. I've covered this with the Moonlight Mile uh a while back and had everybody listen to it. I think everybody really enjoyed it. So I'll just I'll just end it there, you know.

SPEAKER_03 8:21

Yeah, I mean, definitely when you did that last. I mean, I I thought when I was looking through 67, I thought you might have gotta go this way if you're gonna revisit, because I know we had done this on the Moonlight Mile. It was one of the ones we used to pick, we'd pick an album and I'll listen to it and come back and talk about it, right? And everybody was like, This everyone hands down said, This is an incredible album. I'm glad that I now know of it, or I didn't know of this album. And why, why, you know, one of those, why don't I know this album? Why have I never heard this album type of thing, right?

SPEAKER_00 8:50

So yep, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:52

I mean, if you like blues at at all, go and get this album. Go, I mean, just pull it up, you know, stream, whatever. Go listen to it because it's it's it's an excellent, excellent album.

SPEAKER_00 9:01

Yeah, I think uh maybe maybe this is the reason why people don't know him. He died tragically. He, you know, this was released in 67, he died in 69, he was 32 years old.

SPEAKER_03 9:12

I think I said only he only had right.

SPEAKER_00 9:14

He only had two proper albums, had a ton of recordings. There's a ton of stuff out there. Most of the stuff is Cobra labels, got a lot of singles and stuff, but as far as albums, there was only two. Um, but everything I own from him is just seminal, it's just good blues. So, yeah, but this is the pinnacle. This is the album. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. Anyway, on to you, Kevin. What you got?

SPEAKER_03 9:38

I was looking around, and there's definitely some things in 67. There's some great albums, obviously, great albums in 67, big ones, things like that. But right there's some good, like deeper, uh deeper, like proto, like heavy stuff coming around that time, but there's also where I went a lot of good early, right there when it's happening, but a lot of good music out of the city of San Francisco. So that's where I went. And just to show that what I'm saying, this this person obviously is known, was known, and this is very and maybe it maybe this affected me. It's the timing of this, but in the review, on just like you go to Apple Music, when you pull up this artist or this band, this is what it says. One of the first 1960s San Francisco psychedelic bands to find a national audience. They were equal parts, protest falkies, jug band carousers, and eastern influenced hypnotic conjurers. Their debut still captures the era better than just about anything else. But that's it. That's the whole write-up of the band right there in one paragraph, right?

SPEAKER_00 10:58

Nice, yep.

SPEAKER_03 10:59

And which is a shame. Now, this is a band they started doing well and started getting known in San Francisco, and they played at this little concert called Woodstock, and this person he's immortalized in the video because he's on there. But thing is that most people know this band, they know from this one song, or if they've seen the Woodstock documentary, which is excellent, they know this one song. Now, the lead singer and the person, the main person we're talking about, the guy passed away just a week ago. And that's Country Joe McDonald of Country Joe and the Fish. So Country Joe and the Fish were a great San Francisco psychedelic band, and their debut album is called Electric Music for the Mind and Body. And it's just if you like psychedelic 1960s San Francisco, you know, if you're into Airplane or Quicksilver or Grateful Dead, any of that, this is excellent. Now he played at Woodstock and he was he did the fixing to die rag, which was all about a protest song about the Vietnam War. And if you if anyone knows Country Joe, they probably know it from that song. But this album, it goes like it's all over, it's like protest, it's like psychedelic, it's a little bit like jug bandy, like they were saying. It's like all over the place, but it's just like a great, great psychedelic album. He passed away, I think, the 6th or 7th of March, I think at the age, I want to say like 84s. I mean, hey, he's been, you know, he did a lived for a good bit. But uh just excellent. I think he Parkinson, something like that. But uh, but Country Joe and the Fish were a great band. They released stuff after this, but this is uh this is by far their, you know, I think they did up until like 460, 67, 68, 69, 70, and then they had a reunion a little bit later. But I know he kept on going on and playing just like festivals and things like that, was always in the scene, but never really got didn't keep going, like say the dead or airplane or anything like that. So he was kind of even though they were really popular and known, and they were at Woodstock, and everybody knew who Country Joe and the Fish were, but then now you know nobody knows who Country Joe and the Fish are, but music electric music for the mind and body, highly recommend go check it out.

SPEAKER_00 13:38

Two great albums, man. That's awesome. That reminds me I need that. I had it, I had it on CD. It's at this one of those things that's the store days, it didn't transfer over to my catalog. So, really 67, 68, and 69 is when it started to in the rock and roll world at least.

SPEAKER_03 13:56

Yes, and there started being some really good stuff. Like, I know another one that I almost I guess we're doing, you know, we'd do a little whatever honorable mentions, but 13th Floor Elevators released their debut that same year, which I almost I mean, like that could be an easy pick, you know. Easter everywhere, that was incredible. That was a good one. I mean, you got like big albums, you had like Days of Future Paths from Moody Blues, stuff. I mean, there were some really cool stuff going on right around 67. That's when it started. I think you know, at the Hendrix was that was it that was Axis Boldest Love, right? That same year, like stuff like that. I mean, you got like good, really good stuff happening right around that time.

SPEAKER_00 14:36

Speaking of maybe what's that's a good set, this is a good segue. Um I've got an either or for you, and I've got a new one. It's not really a new one, I just renamed it. Is okay dig it, dump it, or don't know it. Because pretty much if you don't get it, you're you're gonna dump it, right? So there needs to be a variable there of like I can't say I dig it, but I can't dump it because I just don't, I'm not familiar with it. So dig it, dump it, or don't know it. But hey, you've already mentioned it. I'll go ahead and do you have an either or for me?

SPEAKER_03 15:13

Yes, I do.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Sweet.

SPEAKER_03 15:15

All right, I'll do it. I'm I'm doing it right now, and I'm skidding up.

SPEAKER_00 15:19

Yeah, if you want to, go for it. Mine's got to be a little bit more. No, you're good. Yours will be uh yours will probably be more than no go ahead. You got it. All right, mine's 1967 edition. Either or. Okay. This is a carryover, too, remember. So we're just doing head to head, and then the winner keeps going on. All right.

SPEAKER_03 15:36

Oh, we're going head-to-head winter. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 15:38

All right, you ready?

SPEAKER_03 15:40

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Kevin. Canned heat self-titled album or Leonard Cohen's Songs of Leonard Cohen.

SPEAKER_03 15:53

You know, that's another band that we could do all of their stuff and say that they're underrated and overlooked. They were very well respected and great band, and people knew them at the time.

unknown 16:04

Right.

SPEAKER_03 16:04

Another band I think they played, they played they might have played Woodstock too. I think Canned Heat played Woodstock as well. But yeah, nobody knows who can't heat anymore. Hooker and Heat, those when they got together, that was great stuff too. But anyways, Canned Heat kicked ass. They had just had some great, they had some bad luck. Drugs might have played a smidge a smidge of the you know part in the problems they had. But I gotta go with some that Leonard Cohen album is incredible. I I listened to that probably it's great. I listen to it a lot. Later at night, it's like a late, you know. It I listen to that, and it's just like a sometimes play it when I'm going to bed because it's just an excellent, excellent album.

SPEAKER_00 16:47

It's a beautiful album. I figured you'd go that route. That's a that's a tough one. I agree. Canned heat. Really overlooked. All right. Next up, Leonard Cohen's songs of Leonard Cohen or John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, A Hard Road. Peter Green.

SPEAKER_03 17:05

As much as I respect John Mayall, I'm going Leonard Cohen still.

SPEAKER_00 17:08

All right. Leonard Cohen or Aretha Franklin. I never loved a man like I love you.

SPEAKER_03 17:16

You know, it's probably wrong. But I'm sticking with Leonard Cohen. I mean, Aretha is incredible, and I mean, but for personally, that Leonard Cohen album is a I listened to that quite a bit and it's good stuff.

SPEAKER_00 17:31

So you'd be going wire to wire. Let's see here. All right, Kevin Leonard Cohen, songs of Leonard Cohen or Vanilla Fudge. Vanilla Fudge.

SPEAKER_03 17:42

That vanilla fudge album is excellent. That is really cool. I mean, they were like that band, they should be more well known as well. You know, I know that they people went on, like, of course, Caramina Peace went on, and uh and but they like Zeppelin actually opened up for vanilla fudge when they first started. I mean, that's like how they were like, you know, that's crazy. And he's they're a great band, but and some of those songs they just the way they slowed everything down, like you keep me hanging on and stuff like that, it's just really cool. But still gotta go with Leonard Cohen.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

All right. I think we're in good shape here. Leonard Cohen, Songs of Leonard Cohen, or The Rolling Stones Between the Buttons.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

I am going to remain with Leonard Cohen.

SPEAKER_00 18:37

Alright. Leonard Cohen, Songs of Leonard Cohen, or Cream and Israeli Gears.

SPEAKER_03 18:46

This is like this is crazy because like obviously like between the buttons, Israeli Gears is a huge album, and it's a very, very important album. I mean, cream was like so good and so important as far as like the heaviness and the that 60s, and I mean obviously cream is more I don't know, is is a great album, but right I love that Leonard Cohen album. I'm sticking with Leonard Cohen.

SPEAKER_00 19:20

I respect the hell out of it. I love it. Uh Leonard Cohen, Songs of Leonard Cohen, or The Kinks, something else.

SPEAKER_03 19:28

You know, this is wrong. This this is this is wrong. This is totally this is fine because this is what it's supposed to be, but it's the all these are great albums and the kinks are incredible, but I'm sticking with Leonard because that's just a great album.

SPEAKER_00 19:41

I respect it, I love it. Uh switch things up here. Leonard Cohen, Songs of Leonard Cohen, or Miles Davis, Never T.

SPEAKER_03 19:51

I'm going with I mean I'm not saying that's the best Miles album or anything like that, but that's great. But I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking with Leonard.

SPEAKER_00 20:02

All right. Two more. Leonard Cohen, Songs of Leonard Cohen, or Traffic, Mr. Fantasy.

SPEAKER_03 20:08

Dude, that's what I love. It's one of my favorite songs, actually. I love Dear Miss Fantasy. There's like that song that anytime that will come on or anything, I just oh like just love that song.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

No, absolutely. I do the same thing.

SPEAKER_03 20:22

Yep. It's like one of those, there's a few songs that just like just hit the spot for some reason. Every time. And that's one of them. Overall, I like traffic, but not huge traffic fan. But great album and great band. Sticking with Leonard.

SPEAKER_01 20:39

All right.

SPEAKER_03 20:39

Your partner in crime would be like would would be you know pulling his hair out right now because I think I'm more of a traffic fan than he is, but we'll see.

SPEAKER_00 20:47

I don't know. Um this is the toughest matchup. Final one, Leonard Cohen, songs of Leonard Cohen or Jimi Hendrix, Axis bold as well.

SPEAKER_03 21:00

I mean it's not really even I mean by picking one over the other, by pi let's say I by picking Jimi Hendrix, obviously that makes sense because that album was I mean, any of those, I mean the any of those three, right? Are you experienced accessible to love or electric ladyland? I mean, like those are some three of the most important albums, probably of all time, right? Three of the greatest albums of all time. If you're looking at like singer-songwriter stuff, though, but like I'm gonna like just starting right off of that, that album, you know, the songs of Leonard Cohen, this they start Suzanne, which is the leadoff track, is just one of the it's just an incredible, incredible, incredible song. Then he also got uh So Long Marianne a little bit later. You know, uh that album is just great. So I'm gonna stick with I'm gonna go wire to wire and stick with Leonard Cohen and uh Salzo Leonard Cohen.

SPEAKER_00 22:10

Love it. I love the conviction. Hey, you don't have to tell me there's certain albums that are just personal, and that's personal. So I totally get it.

SPEAKER_03 22:16

And I love Leonard, and that's one of those, like one of those he's just like I learned about him. I didn't know I learned about him later. I learned about him like I I I guess I'd blame, not blame, but from uh Pump Up the Volume, that movie with Christian Slater, and he used to start every uh every episode of his you know pirate radio show that he did. He started off with uh Lenny Cohen's version of Everybody Knows Concrete Blonde song, which is excellent concrete blonde, great. But I was like, man, who that is cool, and then that about that same time he released that album Democracy, and it was just like oh just I lit they used to play it on one of the stations I listened to, and it was then I fell, and that was it. And then I went back, you know, and then started, oh, who is this guy? And then realized, you know, his early stuff, which was just like I mean, just he's got a documentary too. It's all about the move the song Hallelujah, which just having that song alone should, you know, anyways.

SPEAKER_00 23:19

Yeah. All right, do you want to do your either or do you want me to do my dig it, dump it, or don't know it?

SPEAKER_03 23:25

I'll either or you just just for the heck of it. No, no rhyme no reason, just random stuff. Okay, which you just I know you always love.

SPEAKER_01 23:40

What about depeche mode or new order? Depeche mode. Depeche mode, really?

SPEAKER_03 23:51

Right off the district. Yep, no questions.

SPEAKER_01 23:53

Okay. How about Megadeth or Anthrax?

SPEAKER_00 24:06

Just because of three albums, I'm gonna go Megadeth.

SPEAKER_03 24:14

That's the wrong choice, but that's okay. No, I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_00 24:17

I love some anthrax. I just don't know if that that three album stretch of peace sells who's buying, rest in peace. And I'm sorry, I love countdown to extinction. Uh rest in peace right there in the middle is one of the best. Uh, but I love anthrax. I think anthrax, if you're going by just their total catalog, better overall.

SPEAKER_03 24:40

So I go that uh spreading the disease among the living, and then well, there's four there, like the euphoria, whatever that was like a seduction, but then uh since the time I thought was excellent. Then you get you know, okay, anyways, that's why I digress, but yeah, all right, gin or rum.

SPEAKER_01 25:10

Oh, I gotta go rum.

SPEAKER_00 25:12

Um it depends on what you're doing. I I like gin, but only to mix with gin's not something I'm gonna drink straight. I don't know if anybody really drinks gin, but gin makes a great cocktail, better cocktail than rum. So if we're talking cocktails, definitely gin. If we're talking about sipping something neat, which is typically what I like to do as we go rum, so it's kind of a flip-flop, but I'm just gonna instincts say rum.

SPEAKER_03 25:37

Talk about gin or tequila.

SPEAKER_01 25:39

Gin. Okay. How about Lou Reed?

SPEAKER_03 25:51

Or Patty Smith.

SPEAKER_00 25:53

Oh, I gotta go Patty, man. Patty Smith. Yeah, love me some Patty Smith.

SPEAKER_01 26:02

The damned or the buzzcocks.

SPEAKER_00 26:10

That's tough, but I'm going buzzcocks. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 26:16

Okay. Yeah, that's it's yeah, it's fun stuff, right? How about uh you we kind of went last-minute edition? The birds or the flying burrito brothers.

SPEAKER_01 26:31

Oh the same thing, but different.

SPEAKER_00 26:39

Yeah, I'm gonna go birds, even though the birds' best album is Wet With the Flying Burrito. Uh seriously, I I don't know, man. That's that's tough. Um, I'll go Flying Burrito Brothers because I think all of their, you know, Gilded Plate Palace of Sin, amazing. And then they to me were the reason why the best birds album. You know, I mean Sweetheart of the Rodeo is is just an absolute masterpiece, and that's because of Graham Parsons and company. So yeah, I'm gonna go burrito.

SPEAKER_02 27:15

All right. Salty or sweet?

SPEAKER_00 27:19

Man, if you would have asked me this 10, 15 years ago, sweet all the way. I'm salty. I don't know if that's just comes with age, but you know, breakfast is a prime example. I would much rather have uh avocado toast than a wood a waffle.

SPEAKER_03 27:36

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 27:37

That's that's just me. I I can I can be without something sweet, but you give me something salty, you give me some chips and salsa, man. I'm a happy, happy dude.

SPEAKER_04 27:46

All right.

SPEAKER_03 27:47

All right, let me make sure I'm not skipping here.

SPEAKER_02 27:51

Genesis? Or yes.

SPEAKER_03 27:55

I don't know if I asked this before. If I did, you know, it's whatever it is. Pretend I didn't.

unknown 28:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 28:03

Just for one album alone. Fragile. Fragile. I don't know if Genesis hasn't a masterpiece of that ilk. Uh I'm sure most people would disagree, but when you're talking about Prague, gotta go yes.

SPEAKER_02 28:19

I think we're good here. Couple two more. 80s music? Okay.

SPEAKER_03 28:28

Or nineties music.

SPEAKER_00 28:31

90s all the way. 90s is my favorite era.

SPEAKER_03 28:37

Alright. Last really easy one. De La Soul. You know what I'm gonna say. Or a tribe called Quest.

SPEAKER_00 28:49

Oh man. I knew you were gonna do that too. The minute you said it, I was like, he's gonna say tribe. Damn it. Um that's impossible. Um dude, De La Soul is dead. I'm telling you, that's one of my favorite hip-hop albums. I've gone back to that more recently over the last six months than I have probably any other album. I think I have more of an appreciation for them. I've always had an appreciation for Tribe. I've just I've been with Tribe a little bit longer. I'm gonna go Tribe, but I mean that's that's that's like the difference between uh you know a five-star album and a four-point nine nine nine. Right?

SPEAKER_03 29:36

I need to listen to their new album. I know one of the I mean both of them have lost a member, right? Well, yeah, Tribe's not longer playing. The last album did have, you know, five dog on whatever, but uh right. The new De La Soul, I need to listen to that.

SPEAKER_00 29:49

I really saw it was released, what, last Friday or the Friday before? Yeah. I haven't I haven't heard I haven't heard any reviews on it.

SPEAKER_03 29:57

No, they got some play, some, but uh when you look at Tribe, I mean that that like that little run there with those, I think that three album run, right, was like just incredible. Incredible. You can't, I mean, right? I mean, yeah, three, you know, those three albums I think are I know my favorite is still I I still like the you know, people's that yeah, people's instinctive travel. That I that's my favorite album. I know it's not critically, you know, you got uh low end theory and midnight marauders probably always shows up higher than that, but that's just one of those. It's just like I don't know, it was I would probably go with three feet high and rising, and then soul is dead.

SPEAKER_00 30:44

I think I go people's uh low end, and then that would be marauders. Then marauders, I think that would be my order, and for Day Lost Soul would be Day Law Soul is dead, then three feet high is rising, and then the one I can't pronounce.

SPEAKER_03 31:00

The one you right. See, I would gotta go, I would go I like three feet high and rising.

SPEAKER_00 31:05

That's just like it's excellent. I I you know the thing reason why I like Day Law Soul is dead is because that was their response to other people's response to their debut album, being they they're kind of like considered hippie, kind of hippie kind of light rap, and they go, Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, we did you not listen to the album? Because some of the same things we were saying were really they had a lot to say. It just it was packaged. You they I think they looked at the album cover and painted the picture or whatever, and they came out.

SPEAKER_03 31:39

Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 31:39

Yeah, I think they came out and had a little bit of vitriol, a little bit of snarkiness and witty. I just I love their wit. Uh and I just I love that style. And I just there's probably four or five songs on that album to me that should be seen as you know, some of the best hip-hop songs of all time. So that that's a tough pick, man. Both those bands, those are my two favorite hip-hop acts, followed very closely by maybe public enemy. Love if I'm being honest, Beastie Boys would be right there in that mix, too. So yeah. All right, you ready for some dig it, dump it, or don't know it?

SPEAKER_03 32:16

Certainly. You're gonna put me out. If I don't know stuff, I'm gonna make me look bad, right?

SPEAKER_00 32:21

I know. That's that. What would you rather do? Would you rather say you don't get it or don't know it? Because don't know it means you don't.

SPEAKER_03 32:28

I'm fine with the not don't know.

SPEAKER_00 32:29

I'm you know. These are these will be easy. You're gonna know all these. I'm just I was just trying to give you an L. All right. First, do wop.

SPEAKER_01 32:40

Doo-wop? Doo-wop.

SPEAKER_03 32:46

A love, not a love hate, but a love like a love indifferent to them, you know?

SPEAKER_00 32:53

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 32:54

I it was cool, but there's just it feels kind of trivial at times, you know.

SPEAKER_03 33:05

It feels kind of like not very deep. You know, it's just kind of like there were all these bands that had like one hit and that was it. All these bands, you know, they just do what bands. I don't hate it, but I'm never gonna pull it out and listen to so I'm gonna jeez, I'm gonna dump it, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 33:23

You can dump it. That's cool.

SPEAKER_01 33:24

Beyonce.

SPEAKER_03 33:33

I mean, I I guess I'll dig it. I mean, I I respect the hell out of Beyonce, so I'm not gonna I can't dump Beyonce and I do know it, so I can't, you know, dig it dig other things before.

SPEAKER_01 33:45

Uh the the office.

SPEAKER_03 33:50

I need to I've never watched not never watched, but I never watched the whole new office all the way through. I used to love the old office with Dricky Trevace and whatnot, but I've watched office and I need to dig deeper into, you know, the the I want to say the Steve Krell office, but it's it's hilarious, so I'm gonna dig it. So for sure. Alright.

SPEAKER_00 34:08

SPEAKER_03 34:10

SPEAKER_01 34:24

Of course. TikTok dances.

SPEAKER_02 34:29

Dump it. There you go.

SPEAKER_00 34:32

K Kpop.

SPEAKER_03 34:35

Just don't I I don't know it enough to say anything. I did see a track star where they had the person talking about K-pop, and she was like really, really into it. And I got it piqued my interest a little bit, you know, and then it's like, and my daughter played a song, and I'm like, oh, I just saw that on a track star thing. And it was like some interesting stuff, but it's so like manufactured and corporate that it's that I can't dig it, and I'm just gonna have to say I don't totally know it.

SPEAKER_00 35:09

So fair enough. I don't know it. I honestly don't. Grunge.

SPEAKER_03 35:14

Oh dig it.

SPEAKER_00 35:16

Alright. Mud Honey.

SPEAKER_03 35:21

I need to know. I should listen to more Mud Honey. I dig them, but I've never really. It's like one of those bands, or like the forgotten one. They should receive more credit, but they didn't get for some reason they didn't kick, they didn't catch on like the other few bands, right?

SPEAKER_00 35:36

They were a little bit more gritty. I mean, they were the hunkier, kind of more rambunctious side of grunge for sure. But they were one of the things that we're gonna do.

SPEAKER_03 35:45

But I do originate listen to it or hear it, I do dig them. So I'll say dig it.

SPEAKER_00 35:50

Yeah, one of the original grunge bands, period. I don't care about the the power groups, they were one of the originals for your exactly. Uh all right, last one. This is easy. Avocados or guacamole.

SPEAKER_03 36:03

You're saying avocados. You're saying, do I oh dig me some avocados for sure.

SPEAKER_00 36:10

And and guac? Do you have a preference?

SPEAKER_03 36:12

Guac.

SPEAKER_00 36:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:14

You have a preference to the two?

SPEAKER_00 36:15

I mean, I mean, I could put avocados on pretty much anything. I just mentioned avocado toast. Uh, but man, some guacam.

SPEAKER_03 36:23

If you get a good guac, oh man, I could eat a whole like like trough of guac. Seriously.

SPEAKER_00 36:31

It's power food, man. It's so good. Have you ever had toastones?

SPEAKER_03 36:35

No, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00 36:36

Okay, so toast toastones are like fried, they're not fried plantains. Are they fried plantains? Anyway, it's look for them. You can find them in the grow at Publix. You can find a bag of them. They're they're amazing. It's um, I gotta look it up. It is incredible. We had those with uh toastones. Let's see. We had those with guacamole just the other day. Toastones are a popular Latin American Caribbean side dish made from twice-fried smashed green plantains. Yes, I was uh resulting in a crispy, salty, golden brown chips with a soft interior. So good. We went to a restaurant that specialized in that food, and that's what they they served us. And it's the first time I'd had them, and Becca's like, they're amazing. And we kept going back to their restaurants just so we go there like once every two, three months just to get the ones in the bags at uh public, so really good. Anyway, all right. Well, I think we've covered the gambit today. Um, I like having fun with these either ores and stuff. We ditched it for a little while, but I think it's fun. We can we can deviate and start talking about uh Becca just said she just sent me a text message La Coretta in Marietta.

SPEAKER_03 37:56

She heard you and said it's obviously hear me.

SPEAKER_00 37:59

Yeah, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_03 38:00

Yeah, what's the record?

SPEAKER_00 38:02

What's that? What's it called? It's called La Caretta, C-A-R-E-T-T-A. It's in Marietta. Okay. Um, kind of it's not too far away from the big chicken. Um, but yeah, really close to uh the university out there, not Kennesaw State, but the is it Southern Pali? Southern Polytech, yeah, yeah. Yeah, um good stuff, man. And we've been we've been hooked on them ever since.

SPEAKER_03 38:28

So all right, first to Publix and then there, but but makes me walk.

SPEAKER_00 38:34

You know, honestly, the the difference is it's just the freshness. Like if we put those out of the bag, took them out of the bag and put them in the oven, they're probably just as good. Just totally good stuff. Um, I need to stay away from that stuff, man. Gain in the belly, gaining the belly. All right, well, we will wrap things up here. Had a lot of fun.
