S6 – Ep 14 | Can You Guess the Artist? + 2013 Deep Cuts & Listener Emails
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Craig and Kevin kick things off this week by diving into a couple of listener emails, sparking some early conversation before shifting into their featured year: 2013.
Craig brings Jesse Woods’ Get Your Burdens Lifted, a smooth, soulful record that blends folk, pop, and vintage textures into something quietly captivating. Kevin counters with Ricky Byrd’s Lifer, a rock-driven release packed with grit, heart, and lived-in storytelling.
From there, the guys debut a new segment: “3 Letters.” Craig throws out three random letters, and Kevin has to guess which artists pop up first in Apple Music — leading to some surprising pulls and unexpected directions.
As the episode winds down, things open up into free-flowing conversation, with spontaneous topics and side tangents keeping things loose and unpredictable.
From listener shoutouts to 2013 deep cuts to off-the-cuff music moments — this one covers a little bit of everything.

SPEAKER_00Welcome into Schizophrenic Music, the Schizomusic Pod. My name is Craig. I'm joined here by my good friend, fellow co-host, Kevin Lovkey. Kevin, what's up? Hey, not a whole lot. As always, we're going to talk about some music. We're going to do a little bit of free form. This is based off of uh a recommendation. Got a couple of uh listener emails, which was really cool. Alright. So we're gonna do some chatting about that. Uh have a little fun, uh explore some albums this week. We're doing our night dive from 1960 to 2025. Overlooked, underrated albums are both. This week it is 2013. 2013. Alright. 2013. Alright, let me find one. Uh let's kick things off with a beer, shall we? Or a drink. Whatever you got. Um speaking of, what do you have?
SPEAKER_01I have. I don't think I had this. I've got it, but I think I drank them before we had the thing. But this is a Terrapin Coastal Daydream, West Coast style items. I've got that.
SPEAKER_00I think it's pretty solid. Yeah. Good solid. I've got a um, yeah, I went back to Old Faithful here. If you want to get into sours and you want to just you just want to a little sequench ale from uh Dogfish Head, super low gravity. It's basically a um ale with lime. It's kind of like a sour light, maybe a session sour, I guess. Good stuff. Alright, last time, I mean, I heard you crack open that thing clear as day. Yeah. I don't know what the hell like we can't get that consistently. Well, hey, let's give it a shot. Ready? All right. Three, two, one.
SPEAKER_01I mean, like it you heard it, right? Maybe it's just one, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Absolutely. I mean, maybe we're that good to where our synchronization is just completely decimating the airwaves, and you just hear nothing but silence.
SPEAKER_01This is one of the few times that I have a glass that matches a beer, so it's a terrapin glass.
SPEAKER_00So there you go. I got a Syra Nevada glass, so no match, but all right. Like I said, uh inspiration today. Um with uh first one that came through. Um it says uh subject line, freeform mode. Hey guys, uh quick thought from an episode episodes back. Greg mentioned some of the best freeform stuff that happened. Like, a few times that energy makes it into the show and it really hits. I would love to hear more of that bleed into the episodes, Brian. Brian, we totally agree. Yeah, I totally agree.
SPEAKER_01It just yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um I've been so I've been listening to, you know, I I told you I was into IndieCast for a while. It came back, it's awesome. Love having that. Uh they're not scripted, you know, they have a theme, kind of like we do. They'll go with topics or something, what's in the news that week, albums. They do a really cool thing. I wish we could do uh they do a draft, uh, quarterly draft, and then they see who wins that particular quarter based off metacritic ratings. It's pretty cool. Um I don't want to steal their stuff. So um, but I've been listening to another podcast, it's the famous artist. Uh he's got an Apple show. Uh what'd say it's it's time crisis, it's as Ezra Kaning uh from uh Vampire Weekend. And it's really cool. They'll they'll have a topic and stuff, but they'll just kind of riff, you know, they'll just riff and stuff. And that and that's what Kevin and I are really good at. I think we got to the point where we're too structured and we feel like we should not be talking about always talking about music. I don't think so. We can we can talk about what Jordan's got going on, what Becca's got going on, what Erica's doing with her job now, travel, whatever. So uh it'll transition into music because uh naturally it always does with Kevin and I. I mean, we could literally be talking about anything, and it's always gonna circle back to music. So uh, Brian, we totally agree. Uh, we're gonna try more of that. In fact, I've got a little game today, I think maybe uh just came to me. Uh just uh because I was surprised when I did this search. Um so play that a little bit later. Uh one last email. 1971 deep cut for you guys. All right. This is what I'm talking about. Comes from Spencer. Hey guys, love the 1971 episode. Had me digging back a bit. One super overlooked gym that you might get a kick out of is an album called Black Monk Time from the Monks. The Monks. I don't know this album. I was curious if you did. Uh I've never heard of it. I'll be honest. Uh, way ahead of its time, raw, repetitive, almost proto-punk before that was even a thing. Feels like something that we get more shine in conversations like this. Uh, curious what you'd think if you gave it a spin. Cheers, Spencer. I love the fact he said cheers. I do that a lot uh with my casual conversations because we're always cheers. And speaking of, Kevin, cheers. We didn't do that, did we? Cheers. Cheers, man. Um Spencer, here's what we're gonna do for you. Just got this. Didn't have time to do it, but we will talk about the Monks, Black Monk Time next episode. Kevin and I are gonna listen to it and give you a review. We'll give it a I don't know if we need to give it a thumbs up, thumbs down. It doesn't really matter. I'm just curious. It's a band I've never heard of, an album I've never heard of. So, hey man. Uh, we used to watch this thing called um Talking Metal. It wasn't Talking Metal, what was it uh with Eddie Trunk? Uh that metal show. That metal show. Yeah. Stump the trunk. Well, you we we're trunk and you just stumped us. So uh all right, so um it's up to you, man. Do you want to go into our albums, our album of the week? Or do you want to do that? Okay, um, I'm gonna let you go first. 2013. I'm curious to what you got because there's a lot of options. All right.
SPEAKER_01Well obviously uber prepared. No, but uh it's it's definitely with me. It's never structured, but no.
SPEAKER_00Uh you want free form, talk to Kevin.
SPEAKER_01There's some there's some there's some good albums, and this is probably one I think you I don't know if I've ever mentioned this album to you.
SPEAKER_00Interesting.
SPEAKER_01And I was just flipping through 2013 going, oh that's good, and thinking about different things. There's some good, like, there's some good like deeper metal cuts, metal albums in 2013 that you know aren't getting any play. And then there's some other ones that, you know, some bands that maybe had albums that were later in their career that didn't get much, you know, publicity, press, whatever. But there's one I was flipping through and I'm like, oh man, and I have and I it took me back and I hadn't listened to it in a long time. But I remember when I bought it or when I got it, because I couldn't find it. It was first, it was it hadn't been released yet, it was coming out. But anyways, I used to the long story, it's hopefully short. I used to work at this this rock and roll camp during the summer a couple times called Camp Jam. Yeah which was like basically a rock rock and roll, you know, summer camp type of thing, where you know the day camp kids kids would come and we'd they'd learn instruments and put little bands together, then they'd put on a show at the end of the week, that type of thing. Right. One of the owners was called one of the owners or the founders of the camp was Jeff Carlisi, who's the guitarist from 38 Special. Right. So great guy. He would he would, I mean, but he would so he would have uh master's classes where he basically had people come in and do a little like show for the whole camp. And it was always basically it was Jeff's some of Jeff's friends, you know. So like guys coming in like Carmine of Peace came in, uh uh Derek St. Holmes, you know, from Nugent Fame. Uh wow. Uh I'm drawing blanks now. Uh Liberty DeVito, drummer from from uh Billy Joel, bunch of people. So this guy came in and did a did a show, and it's like, oh, this is I'm got this album coming out, and it's been in this my, you know, been doing it for years, but this is my first solo album. And it's a gentleman that had played guitars for played guitar for years with this band called Joan Jet and the Black Hearts. Yeah. So his name is Ricky Bird, and he played guitar for Joan Jet and the Black Hearts for like years and years and years. Left, and then we just started backing up like he was like playing guitar for I think Ian Hunter, and uh I think maybe did something with Roger Daltrey, but he came out with a solo album called Lifer, and it's just straight ahead, hooky rock and roll album. It's just like fun, it's totally it's got that, and I would go back to another guy that in our old days that I loved with Willie Nile, but it's like a New York type of album, right? It's like a just a straight-ahead hooky, little garage, just uh just a great album called Lifer. And uh I remember I couldn't, you can't even like I don't think it's not on iTunes, you know. I think I've purchased it somewhere, got it, but you know, it's it's just straight ahead, fun rock and roll album. Not real heavy, just like hooky rock album. Like I had people saying there was the reading, like Lifer is a celebration of type of compact hookie songwriting, radiant guitar crunch that characterized classic rock and roll guitar world. There you go. There's the thing. Just like, I don't know. It's I think he's released, I haven't kept up with Ricky, but I think he's released one or two albums. He's got something just released last year. So it's a couple things since then, but it's just like you want a good straight-ahead rock and roll album, great hooks. I would check out Ricky Bird. The album is called Lifer.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so this uh he sounds like the perfect candidate, and maybe he was on it, but because I know uh DeVito was on Hired Gun. I know he was on the documentary Hired Gun. Highly, highly recommended. Uh, and the name of the album title says it all lifer. Guys, just play guitar forever. If you play with Joan Jett in the Black Arts, she's still playing to this day, just kicking butt. Um, I gotta check it out because I wasn't familiar. That's a name that like DeVito, uh, these are names that you should know that have played on a lot of notable, notable uh records. And people just don't, you know, they don't get exposure to that. If you're playing with Joan Jett, you don't really know who the Black Hearts are unless you dig.
SPEAKER_01So basically, I think uh AllMusic gave it three and a half stars, you know, carrying the carrying the flame for good old rock and roll. That's you know, it's basically what it is. Straight ahead. No frills, just good poppy rock album.
SPEAKER_00Check it out. Um, mine's gonna go into that realm, and I'm almost certain that this was the same brand, the same manufacturer that you discovered Nick Drake with. I'm almost certain that I discovered this guy in a Volkswagen commercial. I'm not missing it. It was Volkswagen, right? Yes, that's what Nick Drake was Volkswagen. Um it ended up being this guy's second album. I thought at the time it was his first album. There is no real publicity for Jet 1 Jesse Woods. Just no publicity for him whatsoever. Uh, he only has one album being reviewed, and it's this album called Get Your Burdens Lifted from 2013 on AllMusic. Uh the users give it, there's two users that give it a four stars. They have this as their only album. They didn't even write a review of it. Um, he's got four that I know of. I own all four of them. He's got a self-titled album from 2009, Get Your Burdens Lifted from 2013. Uh, one called Autoflower from like 2018, something like that. That's the one that's got the cover of UFO from Jim Sullivan. It's really good. Um and then his most recent album is called Wimberly, and that came out I think three years ago. God man, it's five years ago now. It's 2021. So um definitely not somebody that's putting out a ton of music. Uh sure, he's from Austin, Texas. Sure, not doing a lot of publicity. Nobody's doing him any favors. This album is awesome. The song that I heard that hooked me, uh, just immediately I went and downloaded the album. I didn't need to listen to the rest of it. It was worth just buying all of it for gold in the air. Telling you, when you hear that song, I think you'll you'll recognize it from a commercial. You may not have known you heard it, but um he's got this kind of indie Americana thing, but it doesn't have twang to it. It doesn't have a whole lot of twang to it. There's something about him, he's just real rustic, um, just real breathy voice, super, super melodic. Uh, it's chill, but it's not depressing, um, which is cool. It's not overly melancholic. I just love this guy. I really do. I think this one and autoflower are both excellent. I need to, I just discovered Wimberly recently. Um, because you just lose sight, you know, you lose sight of people. If they're not advertising, they have a new album coming out, you just don't think to go back to them, you know. And it was one of those things at one point I couldn't find anything on vinyl. Uh, this guy rules, he really is. He's just uh just a great talent. Um, I don't know. I think more people should know him. So um Jesse Woods and this album once again is uh Get Your Burdens Lifted. And it's just it's a real quick in and out. It's our kind of album, Kevin. I think this thing's like uh what, nine songs, maybe 30 minutes, something like that. So yeah, perfect sweet spot. Great singer song.
SPEAKER_01Of course, I had to look had to look it up. I think it may have been a Corona Extra TV spot.
SPEAKER_00Okay, maybe so. I could see that. I could totally see that being the case. It's hard to find. There's not not a whole lot of not a whole lot of info about it. Like I said, there's not, you know, there's a couple of interviews here and there. There's a couple of publications that have say, hey, this is what Jesse's doing now. I mean, he's certainly not certainly not on pitchfork, he's not on, you know, uncut or spin. There's probably some bad examples or paste or anything like that. It's a shame because I think he falls in line with a lot of the singer-songwriter stuff that does get a lot of hype. So I don't know. Great stuff. Definitely one of those things. If I can find that album or any of his stuff on vinyl, I'll definitely pick it up because I just I dig him. Good stuff.
SPEAKER_01Good stuff. All right, so I gotta go listen. I gotta go listen to that again. Yeah, the Ricky Bird album is 11 songs, 43 minutes. Just good, good straight ahead. I mean, that's how you do it. That's how you do it. The song that has got me was just what was it called? Just one kiss.
SPEAKER_00That sounds like uh old uh righteous.
SPEAKER_01What was it called? I was maybe called Married Man, but it was about being basically come on, it was only it's only one.
SPEAKER_00But anyways, good stuff. Alright, so unless I I don't know if you've got anything for me. If you do, hit me with it. If if not, I've got a little game.
SPEAKER_01Sure, I'll play the game. I can post, I mean, I can always go, but I like what you where you were going and free-forming a little bit, but the game would be good.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so this is this is inspired by so I've been on a big vampire weekend kick because I really like I just really like Ezra's take on things. I think a couple of the guys that he cast with in time crisis uh that on that show, they might all be a part of Vampire Weekend. I don't know. One guy's name is Seinfeld, which I thought was just I've never heard anybody named Seinfeld before that's really cool. I don't know if that's a nickname or his real name, but okay. Anyway, real cool, just real laid back. They have a lot of fun. They talk about some serious stuff, but then the last episode they were talking about Dubai Chocolate and that being like a thing, you know. They did one on Boston that was killer talking about how how the band Boston is like, how are they forgotten? How are they not in the rock pantheon, that kind of thing? The stuff that we would totally riff off of. Sure. So I was like, you know, I probably haven't listened to um a vampire weekend album in forever, you know? And so I just wanted I I went chronologically. I said, just let's go with the first album and I'm work my way to and it's it it was awesome. But you know how you do it, you get on your phone, we both use Apple Music, you go into search, and I thought this was interesting. When I typed in vampire in Apple Music, the entire word vampire, vampire weekend is not one of the top three searches. There's vampire, vampire love, and vampire empire. None of which I know. So I you scroll down and you see them, but it's not one. You see them three down, yeah. But it's not one of those you know, preemptive things, hit this. So it it's and to me, I can understand. Okay, Olivia Rodrigo has an album, a song called Vampire. I get it. She's huge. I get why vampire love from Young Bruh and Little Tracy. No, Vampire Empire, never heard of them. Vampire Empire is an Adrian Linker song. Uh, that's Big Thief. Okay. I get that. I can get that. But you know, Vampire Weekend's huge, so I would have expected it to be a little bit more prominent. Here's my here's my test.
SPEAKER_01This is once you hit the space, it cards up the third. You went to space after vampire.
SPEAKER_00See the the little nuances of the search, right? Uh I thought it would be fun. Let's just let's just do some searches, man. I just done and to see uh because I want to see if you would guess. So if you can give me give me the first, we're gonna call a segment first, the first three. The first three letters. Give me the first, just any first three. Obviously, don't go Q R Z. Q R Z nothing's gonna pull up. There's something you think would pull up, and I want to see if you can guess what would be the top in the top three searches.
SPEAKER_01You want me to give it to you or you're coming up with it?
SPEAKER_00Uh I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll kick one off. Okay, I'm gonna do let's go with K-I-L. K-I-L. What do you think the first and I'm not even gonna look if you I was kind of cheating before because I was looking at the the words up at the top and not the first bands that pop up. Okay, with K-I-L, what do you think would be in the top three?
SPEAKER_01See, but they're probably I think songs might come up before bands, which me which kind of messes things up. You know, like you say, if you want. You could say the killers, but that's probably not. Is the killers on there? Yeah, number one.
SPEAKER_00Alright. Number number two, I think you you would be surprised. I think you would appreciate it being there, but I think you would be, and this might be a bad example, K I L, but is it a another band? Yep. Kill Devil Hill. No, you went a little too you went a little too deep there. You you know this band though.
SPEAKER_01It's on the heavier side. Not we're doing killing joke, we did that's not killing joke from last week, right? Or they were now.
SPEAKER_00This is one you know as I don't know if you're a fan or not. Honestly. I know you've listened to them, but heavier. Kill isn't the name. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Uh silence.
SPEAKER_00That's good, always good. Oh, come on. I was it's kill, switch, engage. Ah, Jesus. I should have said that. Yeah. So that's you know it's kind of good.
SPEAKER_01I'm glad that that comes up. I'm glad both of those came out. I like kill switch engage. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I've seen those guys a couple times. All right, so I'll let's see it here. Um S A W. S A W. Oh, Sawyer Brown. Come on, man. Star Search. Do you guys remember Star Search? Do you remember Star Search? Because Sawyer Brown share as hell does. Um, yeah, I don't think you're gonna get these.
SPEAKER_01The Saw Doctors. No, uh you remember them, don't you? They had that uh Yeah, for sure. That Irish.
SPEAKER_00Uh that they're the third band. They're the third band? Yeah, yeah. There's a couple there's a playlist and a couple songs in between that you're not gonna get the first two artists. I'm just going. You ever heard of Saweetie? S-A-W? It's like Saweety. Uh hip-hop artist, maybe? And then Sawyer Hill. Sawyer Hill?
SPEAKER_01I've never heard of a Sawyer Brown. Not as good as Sawyer Brown.
SPEAKER_00No, for sure. And then believe it or not, Saw Doctors is the third band. Third band. They had a good what was that song they had? That was a good uh Um Hold on, because I think it's it's that yeah, they got an Wow, they got a new single out? Holy mackerel. I thought they went back. Dude, they've got a ton of stuff. I thought that they were kind of like a one-and-done band. Because the first one came out in 1992. That that's probably around the time that I knew. Okay. Let's find us another one here. This might be a bad idea.
SPEAKER_01Well, when I when I type SAW, that's weird.
SPEAKER_00You get something different.
SPEAKER_01The Saw Doctors comes up, and then it says Saw, then it says Saw Red. But like five down is Sawyer Brown Essentials.
SPEAKER_00Interesting. I you know, I wonder how this works. Because why would you get a different search than I do?
SPEAKER_01Because I got the other one you said was was the same. But Sawe is the first. Yeah. So the three, the first, like, you know, the three that aren't bands are just like the words are Saw Doctors, Saw, and Saw Red. I saw Red, maybe uh Saweedy is the first artist, and then Sawyer Hill, and then it goes into Cyberround Essentials a Saweetie song, but then the Saw Doctors are the next band.
SPEAKER_00I think that's what I had to. Alright, here we go. This is a good one. G-R-E. Green day. Absolutely. Number one. Still staying relevant in the Apple Appleverse.
SPEAKER_01Green. G-R-E. There'd be another green. Like we're going just bands.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, unless you can think of a song. I can't really think the second artist I've never heard of them. Unless is this really an artist, or is this it's not an artist? It is not. I don't you'll get a kick out of this. I think yeah. It's green noise for sleep. It's legitimately like nature and stuff for sleep. That's number two. There's not another green jelly. Gotta be green. Green jelly wouldn't pop up. Right. Little pig. Little piggy, little piggy. Uh and then there's yeah, it's all songs. This is a bad. Green Manalici. I mean, there's a band called the Green. Green Eyed Lady. Uh yeah, that's another one too. Even the song Tambourine. Greedy. Like this Green Noise has the it's the second artist and the third Green L Green Noise. It's a it you know, this is a big thing though. I I can't knock it. I've used stuff like thunderstorms, and we we joked around because we did a playlist a while back. And I don't think Craig wants two hours of thunderstorms. You never can't tell, man. I like that stuff. But I dig the thunderstorms. Yeah, yeah. The ambient stuff, the the white noise and stuff. We have like I have I put in earplugs and we have this fan. Becca uses the fan. And it's not really I mean, it's literally like just a shelf fan. It's not to get cool, you're not gonna get cool from it. It's to use it as white noise. Right. Yeah. All right. Maybe a couple more and then we'll see what else we got. Um, what about H I L? H I L. Harry Isaac Larry. I'm surprised some of these. The the first one that comes up now, granted, she's actually still putting out relevant stuff. Like she stayed with it, even though she was definitely more of a child starter start, but you know the story. Oh, Hillary Duff. Yeah, man. Yeah. She had a lot of. She just put a new album out this year. She did. I've heard good things too. It's good. I listened to it. It's good. She's she's one. Who's the other one I'm thinking about that's really put out um like really good pop? It's she's in the same realm, same era, but just been putting out great, great albums, and they're critically acclaimed too. And I'm drawing a blank. Carly Ray Jepson. Carly Ray Jepson. Carly Ray Jepsen's saying, I love Carly Ray Jepsen. She's putting out, I'm telling you guys, don't let this whole child star thing fool you. The last song.
SPEAKER_01Don't let the one song, you know, Call Me Maybe, whatever. I mean, which is a great song. I mean, that was huge. But it's she's straight ahead, just good pop records. Straight ahead. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_00I gotta listen to this new uh Hillary Duff because the last one I heard, I think the one uh breathe in, I I really enjoyed. She's uh she keeps going. She's had a lot of gaps in between two 20, 25, 2015, 20 this, 2026, 2015, 20, 2007. So she's definitely making uh bit of a comeback.
SPEAKER_01She almost maybe, I mean, I saw her on a she might act more than she sings nowadays, you know. I know she was like she was on that show younger, which was really good. It was like uh this woman who acted like she was younger to try to get a job because she couldn't get she was trying to go back to work. And Hillary Duff was worked at the same ad agency or whatever, and they became buddies and stuff. It was good. It was until the end. The end sucked, and then they were like, Really? I watched this whole series like two years or whatever, and and you give me this shit. Right. It's like it's like they somebody told them, like, okay, everything's going along, okay, you gotta stop. And they just like and I was like, What? Like that that no, the storyline just can't end that quickly. But anyway, so that's hold on the thing.
SPEAKER_00All right, I'm gonna go full name here and then we'll we'll move on to something else because I thought this would be interesting. James, James. James. James. Just all of James. What do you think pops up? And they're you know, they're it's all artists except for a playlist, so it's probably not the band, James, right?
SPEAKER_01There's other people before that. I would say your favorite, James Taylor. He's number two. Yep, James.
SPEAKER_00James. I think he's a classic soul, man. Oh, James Brown. He's number four only because James Taylor is number two, and then the James Taylor Essentials is number three, so it's technically he's number three. There's two other ones here. There's one, he gets a lot of hype. I gotta be honest, the the number one choice here. I know the name, but I only know the name only. I don't really know a whole lot about him. But I do British electropop artist. Hmm. You familiar with James Blake? I know the name.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, the name, right, yeah. Oh man, he's got a show on our weaknesses. People are gonna turn off. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, I mean he's got a ton of stuff, man. First album came out in 2011, and he has probably I don't know if these are all like full-blown albums, but it looks like he's got 11 albums. That guy keeps going. Sounds like somebody check out. Uh, and then the last one in here, like the band James is nowhere to be found. Um James Arthur. Never heard of James Arthur.
SPEAKER_01Heard of James Arthur.
SPEAKER_00Heard of another Arthur, but not James. Joseph Arthur is the one. Joseph Arthur. Yeah, like I like me from Joseph Arthur. I don't know. I thought it'd be a fun game. Um something else came up. You're talking about shows. Um, man, we was it was it Brad or Brian?
SPEAKER_01Who said that we did off the cuff ten of work.
SPEAKER_00Brian, we're giving it to you right now, man. Um, so I you know, we watch a lot of TV shows, and some of the stuff overlaps for Kevin and I. I don't know if you've seen this, uh, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. No. It is awesome. So what is it on? It is on so we have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime. I want to say it's Netflix. I think it's Netflix. Um, and the story revolves around four gals. Uh, they had kind of a bit of a traumatic event early on that they've kind of kept inside. Okay. Anyway, it it goes into the story of the three gals that have stayed connected, re try to reconnect with the the fourth who they think has passed away. Anyway, it's one of those shows where I think I might have seen a preview or like a trailer for this. But you would love it because it's just it's a dark comedy, it's a super dark comedy, but it is very funny. All the characters are great, but it's one of those things where prepare to Shazam. Prepare yourself to Shazam. And there's some big stuff like uh big songs on there that they'll play, like ABBA or something like that. But right they they played this guy, and I was I was floored because I thought for sure, I was like, man, digging deep, like you're digging into some like 40s, 50s country. Have you ever heard of Theo Lawrence? Theo? Theo Lawrence. I I don't think so. Do yourself a favor, listen to him. Ah, this is like old school Hank Sr. Okay stuff. It's really good. He's got a better voice, though. He's got a better, it's smoother. Dude, I've listened to like I got on a kick, I was like just listening to that song, and all of a sudden I found the album and I just listened to the whole album.
SPEAKER_01It's new, but he's got okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like I think he's got four albums, it looks like. Um think um our guy, who's our guy that releases an album every week, uh, and he's awesome, but he's less kitschy than this than that guy. Uh Charlie Crockett. Charlie Crockett's great. But Charlie Crockett's got kind of like a kitschy vibe to him, and he knows it. Uh, and he leans into it. This guy legitimately, when I first heard it, it just the way it's recorded, everything is real dusty sounding. It sounds like it's recorded in the 40s or 50s. So yeah. I man, I that's what I love about these TV shows is they're not right, they're not cherry-picking from the same old thing stuff we've heard. Like sometimes radar love just fits uh a driving. Sure, right? Sure. Absolutely. I'm not gonna complain. Right. I'm not gonna complain about that. And you know what? If you do that and then you give me a Theo Lawrence, that makes me love the radar love even more because you're appreciating music for the scene. But there's several stuff where it's just like, oh, who is that? And finally, to me, dude, I can't tell you how many times I'll shazam something, and it's like, oh, this is great. Uh 2014, and you look them up, and that's the only album they had, and they haven't done anything. I was like, come on.
SPEAKER_01Sometimes I sometimes I'm like, who was and I'm like, and you read, I'm like, I knew that. Why didn't why didn't I knew who that was? I was like, I'm embarrassed that I just had to shazam that. No, but yeah, I I mean something like I'll do that at my my wife, Eric, and be like, what are you doing? I'm like, I gotta rewind because I'll I quick pull out my phone, and by the time the song ends, before I get the shazam pulled up, I'm like, what are you doing? I'm like, I need to I need to hear this song again. For sure.
SPEAKER_00Don't talk. I mean, look, that's we're if anything, we're honest and we're humble on the show. We do listen to a lot of music, we've been privy to a lot of music, but I gotta say, last last time I was in, well, not the last time, but the time before last, I was in Yellow Racket Records, and he's clearly playing a pink Pink Floyd album. And it's like it's like the freaking biggest song on the album. And I just looked at him as and it this guy's probably all like maybe 30. And I was like, you gotta tell me what what Floyd album is this, and uh, he goes, Oh, this is metal, and I'm like, you know what that's you know why that's sad? That's my second favorite Pink Floyd album. Behind animals. He goes, Oh, animals is great, and then we had a whole conversation about like he said, but have you gone back and listened to Piper at the Gates of Dawn? And I go, you know, I I do I like it, but I just I I'm more I'm more of a Gilmore and Waters guy. Um, but I get it, I totally get it. But I said this is so sad because I've I've metal has been my claim to fame, it's my second favorite album. I had to just it was a huge song, too.
SPEAKER_01But I mean, I I mean we will admit we've we've done it, we've done episodes on our our blind spots. I mean I got blind spots, people who go like, what you've never heard this? I'm like, uh, you know, but there are certain things like like today, you know, I I always you know a peek inside. No, we always I start my day with a shuffle. Like we we started this three years ago where we had like no new move, no new music November, where we just only played music that we already had in our collection and just shuffled whatever played we played that album, whatever song came up, we played that album. So I'll most days I will start my day with a shuffle. I'll just go shuffle, and then I'm like, no matter what, sometimes it's tough because I'll be like, ooh, lamagod, at six o'clock in the morning or seven o'clock. I'm okay, we're good. So let's go, let's go. But uh, and a lot of times it's like, oh, cool. But it today it was a uh government mule album came up, which was which was a government mule, it was you know, it was a live album. They do like jam bands, they always do like you know, they do uh fun things on Halloween. So they were they called House Haunted House Holy Haunted House.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01So basically it was all they played Halloween, they played all Zeppelin. Nice. And I started thinking so then I started going, is this I start like I like songs you know so well, or you don't like I'm like, is this all from Houses of the Holy? Or is it not? I'm like, or they're mixing it up, and it's because it was like, I'm like, I need to know something. Then I started going, like you were just saying, like, what album is Song that remains the same on? And I'm like, I'm like, I'm going, I'm just like, Yeah, gotta love it. I couldn't, you know, I was like, I don't know. I don't remember, you know, like certain certain albums are like push play in a stare, but I'm like getting physical graffiti and houses the holy and into the outdoor. I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, you know, so it so like that, like metal, you know, you hey, you can't can't help it.
SPEAKER_00I yeah, I was I was embarrassed, but at the same token, he was like, Oh man, he goes, that's just it. Like, if you're he goes, all their stuff kind of, you know, it especially that time frame kind of melds together. And he's right, you know, like sauce full saucer full of secrets, and you know, like all that stuff. But I mean, I can admit when sometimes, and I do, I have a ton of blind spots. There's stuff like I'll hear like a big song. We've been listening to the first wave on XM lately, we found uh, which we think is better than some of the other ones, because they dig a little bit deeper, they all go through the same rotation, right? So if you hear, you know, a million miles away from the Plum Souls, you're probably gonna hear that on a regular basis for a couple of weeks until they change the rotation. But something came up, and I go, uh, who is this? It's not it's not English beat. Who is this band? And it's uh, what is it, General General Public? General Public? Yeah, which is the follow-up, and I'm like, how did I not know that? How did I not know that this song was like that's where you can get me? Like, you can get me on trivia and you can play like a big song, and I might not know I might it might escape me that it's missing persons. Right.
SPEAKER_01Okay, and it is it I look just looked. Houses they basically played all of Houses of the Holy. Yeah, they so plus some songs, it's a couple extra songs at the end, but I got a promo copy of that recently.
SPEAKER_00Really good price, too. It was like 20 bucks at uh yellow racket, and I haven't listened to Houses of the Holy in forever. I that's the thing.
SPEAKER_01When do you pull like you know, when do you pull out Houses of the Holy? How often do you pull out Houses of the Holy? Not very often.
SPEAKER_00I know, and it's just it. I it's any of the stuff. That's why shuffle, that's why shuffle on your yes on Apple is a great thing because it reminds you. I'll shuffle songs, but uh then I go to that album. That's what Kevin does.
SPEAKER_01I don't play the song, just the song I play, I go whatever song, whatever album that song was off of, I'll go. And if it's a greatest hits album, I'll go to the album that that song came from, and not a greatest hits. I'm not gonna like today yesterday was something, I don't know. The temptations or something. That might have been a greatest hits, but anyway, you know, but yeah. But all right, because you you don't think about pulling out, you don't think about pulling out House of the Holy. And then when I'm like in there like cooking or doing something, and and my wife will go, are you listening to Led Zeppelin? I'm like, Yeah. It's like like like that's a weird thing, you know, but like really, you don't just like like, you know, you don't pull up you don't just pull up Van Halen 1 just because I mean you've you know, it just doesn't, you just don't do it, right?
SPEAKER_00I mean I mean, and that's it's okay to do that. It's I think like I think Brian Eno was one of those guys that's like, yeah, my favorite album is this, but I only listen to it once every five years or something because it's that precious to them, or whatever. I get it. Like Lud Zeppelin is historically one of my favorite bands. I don't listen to them that often. I've got I've got one, two, three, House of the Holy. Yeah, I've got one, two, three, Houses of the Holy, and physical graffiti on vinyl, and that's it. And I I'm looking for I'd like to find some original copies, but getting that, getting that Houses of the Holy, I was like, why didn't I not think about buying this? Like, why it's so iconic, and I'm gonna listen to it, and that like you said, song remains the same. That song opening up is just like a journey, it's just so fun, it's such a fun song. I like it sounds like you're just galloping up the hills and stuff, it's just so cool. And I remember listening to it going, oh, this could be my favorite Zeppelin album. You could say I could do that with any of them, but I was like, man, but I that's why I say shuffle and what we do in vinyl, what I do in vinyl when I'm listening to the record is I very rarely will go just pick something, I'll just randomizer in discogs. It's it's a godsend.
SPEAKER_01So I got a bunch of albums backed up. I know we've talked about this before. Oh, yeah, did we? We we we are we're now we're free foreman, but I I'm a I you know Craig and a couple other people got me buying vinyl, got me into vinyl, and now it's like it, you know, it is an addiction. And but I'll go. But one of the things is I'm cheap, so you know, I don't like I hate spending a lot of money on vinyl. So I will go to the thrift store or the antique store and like pulling out some things that I probably wouldn't get, but it was like two dollars. So I'm like, ah, cool. Remember, I just picked up that uh I'm like two dollars, okay. Uh the band Reflex. Oh wow, yeah, politics of dancing. Yeah, politics of dancing. Like, nothing else. I got, you know, like hey, that what happened to those guys? But yeah, but you know, so I'm pulling things, but and then the problem is I'll go to the I'll go there and there's like you know, five albums for three bucks each or whatever, and I'll spend 15 bucks and bring five albums home, but I don't go right to my I don't go right to the turntable and play those five albums. So like they're sitting there, I'm not gonna file them away. I have to listen to them before I put them away.
SPEAKER_00And then you gotta check it in. You gotta you you get a check in your uh your discogs.
SPEAKER_01So right now I'm stacked, so I can't do the randomizer because I'd be skipping ahead of the you know, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00I'm just you know one thing I do on discogs when I when I find a copy of something that I like and I'm like this is the best price, it's in good shape, guys got good reviews, right? And then you're looking at it's like, hey, spend 50 and get free shipping. Then I start diving in. Well, what else you got to sell? Right. And some of the times, some more times than not, I'll end up buying a couple albums that I probably ordinarily wouldn't buy. But I bought one, it was like a this guy had like a it was like 35 bucks or something. So it was easy to do. So the album I was buying was 15. And then I found an Art Farmer jazz record. I was like, you know, I like Art Farmer. I'll buy that. It's eight bucks. And then the other one was like a dollar. It was Icicle Works, the band Icicle Works. And I'm like, and I love that song. And it's like, I was like, you know, I've never, yeah, exactly. You know, I've never listened to their album. That album's killer. I got it for a dollar. So sometimes it works to your advantage to dig around. And Kevin's got some connections now over there at uh Mojo. Mojo, Mojo recognizes.
SPEAKER_01Every Friday, but you know, you should. I should. Right. I mean, have a beer and buy an album. They got a good thing going on. Hey, because they they, you know, they come in and they got a cooler full of beer and you grab a beer and you know, record shop. The fact that you're grabbing a beer for free.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_01You at least feel like you I should buy something. Right.
SPEAKER_00So, you know, it's just it's a social thing too. That's the whole thing about all this stuff, is it becomes a the Grimy's was the first place, and it's funny because Grimy's is very similar in fashion to Mojo. And so, and they've been around forever, so maybe he mojo got it from Grimy's, but when we were there, like we were literally hitting the road, and he's like, You want a beer? And I'm like, Yeah, I do. And Becca's like, No, you don't. You gotta drive. I was like, This is why I'm beer. Um, but I just thought it was so cool they had a cooler out, and he said, Yeah, grab whatever. It's good beer, too. They have good beer in the cooler too. So it's like I think last time would you have like a chance or something over there? They gave you something good. It may have been uh Gate City or something. They gave you something solid.
SPEAKER_01Solid, yeah. There one time I was like, ooh, this is like a it was like a double IPA. I'm like, okay, I gotta I gotta maybe I shouldn't. I gotta be careful. But and they've had a lot of times I have that one, it's it's become one of my go-to's almost uh that Grateful Dead beer from uh Dogfish Edge.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. That they're juicy, the Grateful Dead, juicy, hazy juicy.
SPEAKER_01Paleo?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yep.
SPEAKER_01What did I I'm you know, you're gonna be thinking, but I always try to take a picture of the beer in front of an album just to get you.
SPEAKER_00That's like our that's like our uh uh version of food porn. Right. You're like uh Kevin's at Kevin's at Mojo again. Uh beer next to a a record, yes please. All right, Brian, what you got you got your wish we freeform today. We're we're gonna we're gonna do more of this for sure. Uh, because this is when we have our most fun. So right. Um hopefully we don't bore you Edlong.
SPEAKER_01You're like, what are they what are they talking about?
SPEAKER_00I'm telling you, the more and more I listen to other radio programs and stuff, the more I notice that it's not always on topic. So we can we we can afford to to to go off and and people can get to know us, man. We've been doing this, I'm sure there's you know a handful of listeners out there that have been listening to us since day one, and they're probably like, well, I don't even know those guys, other than Craig really likes the church and Kevin really loves Alice Cooper. So, you know, we'll we'll try to give you a more into the the deep embeddings of our life.
SPEAKER_01Certainly. So interested, yes.
SPEAKER_00Uh all right. Well, that was uh 2013 today.
SPEAKER_01Uh tell us what you'll check out those two albums. I'm gonna go probably pull up I gotta listen to Jesse Woods, so I gotta pull that up.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, I gotta listen at Bird Record, man, for sure. Uh sounds interesting. It's another one of those guys, and uh also go go watch uh Hired Gun. It'll make you want to listen to that album even more for sure. Um yeah, tell us what you think about uh your album for 2013 or any year for that matter.
