WEBVTT 00:00:10.699 --> 00:00:13.740 Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast that 00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:16.859 takes the classic mixtape approach to building 00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:19.960 a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn, 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.739 and I am so thankful to be here tonight to celebrate 00:00:24.739 --> 00:00:29.899 100 episodes of My Weekly Mixtape. Putting that 00:00:29.899 --> 00:00:33.159 into perspective, I have been podcasting since 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.159 2017, starting with Toon Styles and then with 00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.140 Playlist Wars. And both of those shows ended 00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:43.520 their runs, I want to say, in the low 80s and 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.359 high 60s, respectively. So when I started this 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.820 show, I had no idea how long it was going to 00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:52.939 go. I had no idea if it was going to take off. 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.609 I had no idea what to expect. And I have been 00:00:57.609 --> 00:01:01.689 so grateful that the show has taken off over 00:01:01.689 --> 00:01:05.829 these last 100 episodes. So I am delighted to 00:01:05.829 --> 00:01:08.590 finally go into triple digits tonight. And I 00:01:08.590 --> 00:01:11.930 wanted to do so in a special way. And the way 00:01:11.930 --> 00:01:15.290 I was going to do that was one, not make it just 00:01:15.290 --> 00:01:18.829 one episode long, because this is a pretty big 00:01:18.829 --> 00:01:21.650 deal. It's taken me a long time to get to this 00:01:21.650 --> 00:01:25.620 point. I've been podcasting since 2017. So episode 00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:30.879 100 can't just be one episode. So instead, over 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.920 the course of this week, episode 100 is actually 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:39.519 going to be episode 100, episode 101, and episode 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.760 102. Because I have so much content to celebrate 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:48.439 100 episodes, it needs three episodes worth of 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.480 my weekly mixtape to share it with all of you. 00:01:51.579 --> 00:01:54.500 So that's the first thing. Now the second thing 00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:57.340 is the fact that I didn't want to do something 00:01:57.340 --> 00:02:02.560 that was just another episode. I wanted to have 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.530 some fun and put a spin on something. That's 00:02:06.530 --> 00:02:10.229 been a part of music interviews probably as long 00:02:10.229 --> 00:02:13.330 as there have been music interviews. And that 00:02:13.330 --> 00:02:16.150 is the quote unquote favorite song question, 00:02:16.270 --> 00:02:20.069 or as I'm referring to it tonight, the time capsule 00:02:20.069 --> 00:02:23.310 question. So what I started doing around episode 00:02:23.310 --> 00:02:26.530 50, because I knew at that point that I had some 00:02:26.530 --> 00:02:29.710 traction and the show had some legs and I had 00:02:29.710 --> 00:02:32.229 a hopeful feeling that I would get to episode 00:02:32.229 --> 00:02:34.430 100. And I'm very grateful that I'm here now. 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.520 But what I started doing was I started asking 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.759 at the end of each interview this softball question. 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.599 But what I didn't tell all of the people that 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.879 I was asking this question was that there was 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.500 a part two to why I was asking the question. 00:02:53.699 --> 00:02:57.340 With the small caveat that the Patreon mixtapers 00:02:57.340 --> 00:03:00.810 did know. The story behind what I was doing with 00:03:00.810 --> 00:03:03.229 these answers, as you know, the Patreon mixtapers 00:03:03.229 --> 00:03:06.050 are always in the know of what I've got going 00:03:06.050 --> 00:03:08.509 on behind the scenes here at my weekly mixtape. 00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:11.509 But all of the guests and friends of the show 00:03:11.509 --> 00:03:14.629 who I asked this question, not so much. But now 00:03:14.629 --> 00:03:19.969 the question itself is pretty simple. If you 00:03:19.969 --> 00:03:23.650 had to choose one song for the ultimate mixtape. 00:03:24.090 --> 00:03:27.750 Meaning any song, any genre that would be locked 00:03:27.750 --> 00:03:30.770 away in a time capsule for others to discover 00:03:30.770 --> 00:03:34.750 years or maybe decades from now, which song would 00:03:34.750 --> 00:03:38.490 you choose and why? This is the desert island 00:03:38.490 --> 00:03:43.650 song question. So I've asked that over and over 00:03:43.650 --> 00:03:47.990 and over again over the last year and change. 00:03:48.810 --> 00:03:53.039 Guests of the show, friends of the show. the 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.919 amazing Patreon mixtapers. Anytime I could get 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.139 somebody that was willing to answer this question, 00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:03.379 I asked it and I got their answer. And I've compiled 00:04:03.379 --> 00:04:09.379 65 separate answers. Now comes the spin. Over 00:04:09.379 --> 00:04:12.159 the course of this and the next two episodes, 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.120 which are all coming your way this week, I'm 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.860 going to take those 65 answers and curate them 00:04:18.860 --> 00:04:23.319 into a playlist that hopefully Makes sense in 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.379 some way, shape or form. Now, nobody knew that 00:04:27.379 --> 00:04:29.379 there were other people answering this question. 00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:31.879 Everybody answered from a personal perspective. 00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:37.120 So these songs run the gamut from pop to rock 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.980 to dance to metal to punk. It's all in here. 00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:45.720 And I have to kind of weave my way through and 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.430 try to make these songs make sense. as a playlist 00:04:50.430 --> 00:04:53.350 so this is certainly the most challenging episode 00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:56.269 i have ever done but it's the one i'm probably 00:04:56.269 --> 00:05:00.069 the most excited about because over these 100 00:05:00.069 --> 00:05:02.410 episodes i've had the chance to talk to some 00:05:02.410 --> 00:05:05.250 people that i'm massive fans of their band and 00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:08.029 their art and their work i've had friends of 00:05:08.029 --> 00:05:10.329 the show come on and give these incredible answers 00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:14.149 i've had the chance to truly fulfill my love 00:05:14.149 --> 00:05:17.389 of music through this show and now i get to try 00:05:17.389 --> 00:05:21.509 to do it With all of these people at the same 00:05:21.509 --> 00:05:26.430 time. So this is really, really cool and really, 00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:31.870 really stupid. As I scroll down this list of 00:05:31.870 --> 00:05:34.930 songs and look at what I've put myself into, 00:05:35.110 --> 00:05:39.490 these are truly going to be the most challenging 00:05:39.490 --> 00:05:43.689 three episodes of my weekly mixtape ever. And 00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:46.610 I am so glad you're here to go through this. 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.120 as I'm going to call it, journey at this point. 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.579 Now, diving a little bit into the psyche that 00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:55.279 goes behind what happens here at My Weekly Mixtape, 00:05:55.379 --> 00:05:58.480 one of my immediate concerns was, oh, God, am 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.839 I going to have 10 people all chiming in with 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.699 the exact same song? Well, I'm happy to report 00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:08.139 that using this almost family feud style of asking, 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.000 you know, surveying 100 people, I didn't get 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.139 to 100, unfortunately, but, you know, the 65 00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:15.220 responses I've received to this one question. 00:06:15.790 --> 00:06:19.209 There are multiple picks from only four bands 00:06:19.209 --> 00:06:23.850 or artists and only one song that more than one 00:06:23.850 --> 00:06:26.550 person chose. So I just want to put that into 00:06:26.550 --> 00:06:30.889 perspective, how varied this smorgasbord of songs 00:06:30.889 --> 00:06:34.649 really is. And now that we've gotten that out 00:06:34.649 --> 00:06:36.569 of the way, before we get into the good stuff, 00:06:36.649 --> 00:06:39.490 I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you that if 00:06:39.490 --> 00:06:41.209 you like what you're hearing on the show, you 00:06:41.209 --> 00:06:44.000 can help me out by either telling a friend. leaving 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.959 the show a five -star review wherever you're 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.439 tuning in, or becoming a Patreon mixtaper at 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.259 patreon .com. forward slash My Weekly Mixtape. 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.120 There you can find ad -free episodes of the show, 00:06:56.339 --> 00:06:59.160 gain access to future My Weekly Mixtape episodes, 00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:02.300 chime in on upcoming topics, become a future 00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:06.120 guest, and so much more. Such as chiming in with 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.060 your time capsule songs, which we've got a bunch 00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:11.939 of the Patreon mixtapers in the fold across these 00:07:11.939 --> 00:07:14.720 three episodes. And I can't wait for you to hear 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.399 some of the songs they've chosen. And I also 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.220 can't wait to try to figure out how the hell 00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:22.220 I'm going to include Some of the songs that they've 00:07:22.220 --> 00:07:24.620 chosen because some of them are really putting 00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:28.360 me to the test with their song choices. But once 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.740 again, if you'd like to be a part of this conversation 00:07:30.740 --> 00:07:34.000 moving forward in the next 100 episodes, come 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.259 join the fellow mixtapers at patreon .com forward 00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:47.500 slash my weekly mixtape. 65 songs. Where do I 00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:53.990 even begin? Well, let's start with something 00:07:53.990 --> 00:07:59.329 that is undeniable, because I figure with this 00:07:59.329 --> 00:08:02.629 type of playlist, I'm going to use a little bit 00:08:02.629 --> 00:08:05.370 of a roller coaster approach. Given there's so 00:08:05.370 --> 00:08:09.170 many genres going on here, I think we're going 00:08:09.170 --> 00:08:13.430 to use the jam band roller coaster approach of 00:08:13.430 --> 00:08:15.750 peaks and valleys. We're going to have some big, 00:08:15.750 --> 00:08:17.730 loud moments. We're going to bring it down and 00:08:17.730 --> 00:08:20.189 have some quieter moments. and then bring it 00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:22.910 up and have some big fun moments, and then maybe 00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:25.470 bring it back down, kind of like the way a roller 00:08:25.470 --> 00:08:28.910 coaster would work. So to start it big, I think 00:08:28.910 --> 00:08:31.930 my friend DT Carroll from Space Castle nails 00:08:31.930 --> 00:08:34.710 it with his song choice, so we're going to go 00:08:34.710 --> 00:08:36.970 with that. Now, I'm not going to play the question 00:08:36.970 --> 00:08:40.889 65 times over and over and over again, because 00:08:40.889 --> 00:08:44.409 it'll drive everybody listening and myself mad, 00:08:44.549 --> 00:08:47.720 so that won't be happening. So just to remind 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.980 you before we get into this, the question is, 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.840 if you had to choose one song for the ultimate 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:59.019 mixtape, any song, any genre, to be locked away 00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:01.539 in a time capsule only to be discovered years 00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:05.259 or decades from now, which song would you choose 00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:08.960 and why? Here's DT's response to that question. 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:15.659 That's a big ask, but Helter Skelter by the Beatles. 00:09:16.110 --> 00:09:19.529 Whoa. Yeah. The White Album is amazing. I feel 00:09:19.529 --> 00:09:20.929 like people are going to want to throw that into 00:09:20.929 --> 00:09:22.570 the time capsule anyway, and I want to beat them 00:09:22.570 --> 00:09:24.090 to the punch with one of the most influential 00:09:24.090 --> 00:09:28.129 rock songs ever. It arguably kicked off the heavy 00:09:28.129 --> 00:09:30.149 metal genre. I mean, you can't get much more 00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:33.230 influential than that. But it's also Paul McCartney 00:09:33.230 --> 00:09:36.789 with his most underrated rock and roll scream 00:09:36.789 --> 00:09:39.590 ever. People don't think about Paul McCartney 00:09:39.590 --> 00:09:41.750 having just an awesome rock scream, and he just 00:09:41.750 --> 00:09:45.379 wails in his song. Like Ringo Starr, you wouldn't 00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:47.120 think of Ringo Starr being like this heavy, like 00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.120 rock drummer. And here he is, like just blowing 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:52.059 everybody's minds. Like it's where the Beatles 00:09:52.059 --> 00:09:53.919 were sort of like a crossroads musically, I think. 00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:56.399 And it's got notes of like their previous stuff. 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.000 Like it's still very approachable. But at the 00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.419 same time, it's one of the songs where people 00:09:59.419 --> 00:10:00.899 are like, what the hell are you doing, Beatles? 00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:02.700 What kind of drugs are we on now? Like, you know, 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.059 it's wildly influential. It's my favorite Beatles 00:10:05.059 --> 00:10:07.139 song. And it's obviously one of the most influential 00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:09.379 and famous bands of all time. Like probably one 00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:11.200 of the top 10 most famous bands of all time. 00:10:11.769 --> 00:10:13.289 And if we're going with that, I'm going to do 00:10:13.289 --> 00:10:15.029 my favorite song. One of the songs I think was 00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:16.970 one of the craziest and most out of left field 00:10:16.970 --> 00:10:19.009 they ever wrote. And they wrote some weird shit. 00:10:19.929 --> 00:10:22.070 So, yeah, Helter Skelter by the Beatles is going 00:10:22.070 --> 00:10:24.370 to the time capsule. I mean, when you think about 00:10:24.370 --> 00:10:28.710 it, Motley Crue, U2, Pat Benatar, hell, even 00:10:28.710 --> 00:10:32.309 Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson, they've all covered 00:10:32.309 --> 00:10:35.549 this song. There's probably more covers of Helter 00:10:35.549 --> 00:10:39.690 Skelter. then there are actual not covers of 00:10:39.690 --> 00:10:42.850 Helter Skelter. There's probably more covers 00:10:42.850 --> 00:10:44.909 of Helter Skelter than there are Beatles songs. 00:10:44.990 --> 00:10:47.690 There's like 4 ,000 Beatles songs. So, yeah. 00:10:48.990 --> 00:10:51.929 Easily a contender for one of my cover song dive 00:10:51.929 --> 00:10:55.289 bonus episodes, if that banter didn't make that 00:10:55.289 --> 00:10:58.860 apparent enough. Great pick from DT. I'm extremely 00:10:58.860 --> 00:11:01.860 grateful for him for joining me on several episodes. 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.779 He's actually closing in on board short status 00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:07.690 for those of you that know that reference. But 00:11:07.690 --> 00:11:11.389 you can hear him on the Ultimate 2023 and 2024 00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:15.549 playlist episodes, among several others. So if 00:11:15.549 --> 00:11:17.830 you've been listening over the last hundred episodes, 00:11:17.990 --> 00:11:20.929 you already know what a fun and knowledgeable 00:11:20.929 --> 00:11:24.350 guest DT is. But outside of my weekly mixtape, 00:11:24.450 --> 00:11:26.730 if you haven't seen Space Castle on YouTube, 00:11:27.110 --> 00:11:30.309 do yourself a favor and watch some of the best 00:11:30.309 --> 00:11:33.309 nerd culture -centric content that I've seen. 00:11:33.490 --> 00:11:37.299 You will love Space Castle. Now, with that said, 00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:40.340 I have to follow up Helter Skelter by the Beatles. 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.000 And the second song of the night has to help 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.139 kind of set the overall tone. I mean, if you're 00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:48.919 at a live concert, some bands want to keep the 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.580 pedal to the metal and others choose to veer 00:11:51.580 --> 00:11:55.370 off in a slightly different direction. I think 00:11:55.370 --> 00:11:56.889 that's what I'm going to do because I'm going 00:11:56.889 --> 00:11:59.370 to bring the tempo and the energy down just a 00:11:59.370 --> 00:12:02.210 bit with Brian Scott of the union underground 00:12:02.210 --> 00:12:05.610 and cult of follows answer to the ultimate mixtape 00:12:05.610 --> 00:12:12.629 question. Wow. Um, yeah. I mean, that's almost 00:12:12.629 --> 00:12:19.090 impossible. Um, maybe break down from Tom Petty. 00:12:19.169 --> 00:12:22.649 You're speaking my language. There you go. Yeah. 00:12:24.540 --> 00:12:28.200 why there's so many reasons. I mean, I listened 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.039 to things for so many different reasons, you 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.500 know, being a producer, a songwriter, a fan, 00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:39.519 that record, that entire record really is so 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:44.399 great. Sonically. It's so great. Songwriting 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.919 wise, it would just have to be that. Cause it's 00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:51.980 just Tom Petty is roles. That's it. That's why. 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.289 That's why. That he most certainly does. It's 00:12:56.289 --> 00:12:58.769 no surprise to anyone listening that Tom Petty 00:12:58.769 --> 00:13:01.610 is my favorite artist of all time, so I didn't 00:13:01.610 --> 00:13:04.909 want to waste any time making sure he was included 00:13:04.909 --> 00:13:08.129 in the time capsule just in case it was to run 00:13:08.129 --> 00:13:10.769 out of room or anything like that. I mean, this 00:13:10.769 --> 00:13:13.210 song has such a great groove to it from Mike 00:13:13.210 --> 00:13:16.470 Campbell's tasty guitar work and Petty's, at 00:13:16.470 --> 00:13:18.929 the time of the recording, youthful rasp to his 00:13:18.929 --> 00:13:22.769 voice. It's just an absolute staple. Reach number 00:13:22.769 --> 00:13:26.750 40. on the u .s billboard hot 100 chart and canada's 00:13:26.750 --> 00:13:30.549 rpm top singles chart now if live music is your 00:13:30.549 --> 00:13:32.929 thing be sure to check out tom petty's the live 00:13:32.929 --> 00:13:36.009 anthology as he mixes in a little bit of hit 00:13:36.009 --> 00:13:38.549 the road jack on a nearly eight minute version 00:13:38.549 --> 00:13:42.509 of the song That entire box set is absolute perfection, 00:13:42.769 --> 00:13:45.309 if you ask me, though. Glad that Tom Petty's 00:13:45.309 --> 00:13:48.110 breakdown is in the fold. Now back to the Union 00:13:48.110 --> 00:13:50.389 Underground here. If you're a fan of them, be 00:13:50.389 --> 00:13:54.190 sure to check out episode 57 with Brian as we 00:13:54.190 --> 00:13:56.809 dive into their Education and Rebellion album, 00:13:57.029 --> 00:13:59.409 their song Across the Nation that was featured 00:13:59.409 --> 00:14:03.169 on WWE's Raw as the theme music for almost four 00:14:03.169 --> 00:14:06.669 years. It was such a great conversation, and 00:14:06.669 --> 00:14:08.909 I'm so psyched to see them back on the road. 00:14:08.970 --> 00:14:11.649 and doing their thing again, really hoping 2025 00:14:11.649 --> 00:14:14.029 we get to get some new music from them as well. 00:14:14.509 --> 00:14:18.529 But to follow up the Beatles and Tom Petty, I'm 00:14:18.529 --> 00:14:21.090 going to keep this little classic rock radio 00:14:21.090 --> 00:14:23.649 -esque vibe thing that we've got going here to 00:14:23.649 --> 00:14:27.110 start off as Drew Copeland of Sister Hazel answers 00:14:27.110 --> 00:14:32.149 the ultimate mixtape question. Man, you know, 00:14:32.169 --> 00:14:33.690 I thought about this because I know that this 00:14:33.690 --> 00:14:36.379 is a question that you ask. And I keep going 00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:39.700 back to that. There's so many like iconic songs. 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.840 I was like, man, there's a Boston tune that I 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.559 would, I would say has to be on there. There's 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.059 several James Taylor songs. I'm like, man, how 00:14:48.059 --> 00:14:52.820 can you have a playlist and not have that? The 00:14:52.820 --> 00:15:03.220 ultimate. Dude, it's weird because I always feel 00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:05.539 guilty saying it, but how about Stone in Love? 00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:10.240 Oh, hell yeah. Journey? Yes. Yeah. That is my 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.440 all -time favorite Journey song, so I love the 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.980 pick. You know, I mean, like, how can you not 00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:18.159 have that song? You know, I don't know. There's 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.299 so many I could pick from, but you caught me 00:15:20.299 --> 00:15:21.980 in that kind of mood, so that's what I'd go with. 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.480 The fact that Stone in Love is only on Journey's 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.379 Greatest Hits Volume 2 and not Volume 1 was an 00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:31.299 abomination. I was so offended at that. I couldn't 00:15:31.299 --> 00:15:33.059 agree more. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And 00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:36.539 God, man, that guy, what a voice, man. Oh, such 00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:41.059 a gift. Incredible. The fifth single from their 00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:43.840 massive Escape album. And when I say single, 00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:46.220 I have to use quote marks, at least here in the 00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:50.399 US, because it was only released in the UK as 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.879 a single. So if you pair that fact, along with 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.179 what I had mentioned to Drew about it only appearing 00:15:56.179 --> 00:15:59.299 on Greatest Hits Volume 2, and the fact that 00:15:59.299 --> 00:16:02.679 the song is still consistently in the band's 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.000 live set lists to this day, I feel like Stone 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.460 in Love is the most underrated journey. hit a 00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:13.059 crazy oversight on the labels part to not release 00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:16.259 it worldwide. And then from a personal opinion, 00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:19.860 my favorite all time journey song. So I absolutely 00:16:19.860 --> 00:16:23.519 love the fact that drew went with this one. It 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:25.879 was such a pleasure having him on the show for 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.539 episode 62, where we co -curated the ultimate 00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:33.740 sister Hazel playlist. I hope that it pleases 00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:37.899 all levels of hazelnut fandom. So with that, 00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:44.320 The Beatles, Tom Petty, and Journey. Scrolling 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.500 up and down this list, I think we need to keep 00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:49.080 this classic rock radio vibe thing going just 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.460 a little bit longer because looking through the 00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:56.120 list, classic rock was a popular subset of the 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.429 songs chosen. But like I said, we're just getting 00:16:59.429 --> 00:17:01.769 started here. We're just scratching the surface. 00:17:01.990 --> 00:17:04.970 So let's move right along into track four as 00:17:04.970 --> 00:17:08.369 Brit Lightning of Vixen chimes in with her answer 00:17:08.369 --> 00:17:13.150 to the ultimate mixtape question. I think Hotel 00:17:13.150 --> 00:17:15.710 California. I think the future should still be 00:17:15.710 --> 00:17:19.049 listening to Hotel California. And why? Because 00:17:19.049 --> 00:17:22.109 I just think it's just this enchanting song, 00:17:22.269 --> 00:17:24.690 like I said, takes you on a story. Leads you 00:17:24.690 --> 00:17:28.609 through an imaginational journey that you can 00:17:28.609 --> 00:17:30.730 interpret for yourself. The guitar lines are 00:17:30.730 --> 00:17:33.250 awesome. The vocals are amazing. All the musicianship 00:17:33.250 --> 00:17:36.569 in that band is great. And I just think it does 00:17:36.569 --> 00:17:39.390 capture that moment in time when it was recorded 00:17:39.390 --> 00:17:42.470 that it will last forever. The song reached number 00:17:42.470 --> 00:17:45.809 one on the Billboard US Hot 100 and Canada's 00:17:45.809 --> 00:17:48.589 top singles chart and was a top 10 hit in the 00:17:48.589 --> 00:17:53.589 UK, France, the Netherlands, Germany. Spain, 00:17:53.609 --> 00:17:57.789 New Zealand, Norway, and Switzerland, and is 00:17:57.789 --> 00:18:01.230 the band's third most performed song across their 00:18:01.230 --> 00:18:05.190 entire discography after Desperado and Take It 00:18:05.190 --> 00:18:08.730 Easy, despite those albums coming out three and 00:18:08.730 --> 00:18:12.769 four years earlier than Hotel California. In 00:18:12.769 --> 00:18:15.750 2003, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall 00:18:15.750 --> 00:18:19.450 of Fame. And in 2004, Rolling Stone magazine 00:18:19.450 --> 00:18:22.970 ranked it 49 on its list of the 500 greatest 00:18:22.970 --> 00:18:26.950 songs of all time. Brit was my guest on episode 00:18:26.950 --> 00:18:30.690 64, the ultimate classic rock playlist, where 00:18:30.690 --> 00:18:33.109 this song may or may not have been a part of 00:18:33.109 --> 00:18:35.490 that conversation as well. You'll have to go 00:18:35.490 --> 00:18:37.849 back and tune in to find out because I like to 00:18:37.849 --> 00:18:43.309 tease. But moving on from Hotel California, I 00:18:43.309 --> 00:18:47.269 think I need to add one more song from this classic 00:18:47.269 --> 00:18:50.430 rock arsenal before a pivot comes into play. 00:18:50.529 --> 00:18:54.089 And I think we'll stay in Eagles universe as 00:18:54.089 --> 00:18:56.970 Ben Montgomery from Records Revisited answers 00:18:56.970 --> 00:19:04.789 the ultimate mixtape question. Damn. Ultimate 00:19:04.789 --> 00:19:09.220 mixtape. Let's go funk number 49 from the James 00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:13.579 Gang. Ooh. I mean, I've mentioned this multiple 00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:18.660 times on my podcast. Joe Walsh and any variation 00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:22.640 of Joe Walsh bands are really great road trip 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:28.359 music. And come on, this song is so damn good. 00:19:29.560 --> 00:19:32.799 From 1970s James Gang Rides Again, the song reached 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:36.420 number 59 on the Billboard US Hot 100 and has 00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:40.240 remained a classic rock staple ever since. Ben 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:44.339 was my guest for episode 66, the ultimate spellbinding 00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:47.180 songs playlist, and I've been a guest several 00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:50.279 times over the years on Records Revisited, dating 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:53.460 all the way back to my TuneStyles days. I love 00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:55.579 what they've got going on over there, so be sure 00:19:55.579 --> 00:19:58.049 to check them out. and tell Ben and Wayne I said 00:19:58.049 --> 00:20:01.930 hello when you do. Now, following up Funk 49, 00:20:02.109 --> 00:20:04.670 I think I'm going to bring us out of this classic 00:20:04.670 --> 00:20:07.609 rock vibe and lean into something a little bit 00:20:07.609 --> 00:20:12.490 more, well, funky, with this pick from Jim Lachlan 00:20:12.490 --> 00:20:15.930 of Moe. My one song to be added to the ultimate 00:20:15.930 --> 00:20:19.630 mixtape, which will be put in a time vault and 00:20:19.630 --> 00:20:22.230 opened years down the road, would be the Ballad 00:20:22.230 --> 00:20:25.190 of Bodacious by Primus off the record Antipop. 00:20:26.029 --> 00:20:28.869 I picked this song despite the fact that my favorite 00:20:28.869 --> 00:20:31.410 Primus drummer, Tim Alexander, isn't on the track. 00:20:32.390 --> 00:20:35.490 I picked this song despite the fact that Antipop 00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:39.769 isn't even Primus' favorite Primus record. I 00:20:39.769 --> 00:20:43.410 picked this song because it's unbelievably original. 00:20:43.750 --> 00:20:46.269 The bass, the drums, the guitar are amazing. 00:20:46.670 --> 00:20:51.250 The story is mostly true. And it's probably the 00:20:51.250 --> 00:20:56.599 only... Well, one of the only songs written about 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.480 a rodeo bull. So you really can't beat that. 00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:04.380 One of the few songs from Antipop that was produced 00:21:04.380 --> 00:21:08.359 solely by Primus. This is definitely a divisive 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.359 pick depending on what level of Primus fan you 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.059 are. And as Jim said, even the band has kind 00:21:14.059 --> 00:21:16.759 of distanced themselves from this album. But 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:18.819 I'm with Jim here. This song is awesome. And 00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:21.420 I'm not going to lie. Even though the album itself 00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:25.059 might lack a bit of direction. That's obviously 00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:27.500 going to happen when you feature different producers 00:21:27.500 --> 00:21:31.720 on an album. And Antipop has a wide array of 00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:35.240 producers alongside of Primus, the likes of Tom 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.220 Waits, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, 00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:42.099 Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, Stuart Copeland of 00:21:42.099 --> 00:21:45.619 The Police, and Matt Stone of South Park. Yes. 00:21:46.190 --> 00:21:48.210 If you're a fan of South Park, you already know 00:21:48.210 --> 00:21:50.569 the history between the band and the show. So 00:21:50.569 --> 00:21:53.069 that really won't be too surprising to you at 00:21:53.069 --> 00:21:55.930 all. But he is a producer on a track on this 00:21:55.930 --> 00:21:59.940 album. Now, as far as Mo goes. 2025 is going 00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:03.259 to be a insanely busy year for the band, as they're 00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:05.960 not only celebrating the band's 35th anniversary, 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.400 they're also releasing a new album, Circle of 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:12.940 Giants, on January 31st. So be sure to be on 00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:15.180 the lookout for that one. I hope to have Jim 00:22:15.180 --> 00:22:18.099 back on the show very soon, as he was such an 00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:21.819 amazing guest for episode 35, The Ultimate Moe 00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:24.660 Playlist. And whether you're a jam band fan or 00:22:24.660 --> 00:22:26.940 not, There's a little bit of something for everyone 00:22:26.940 --> 00:22:29.140 in that discussion, so I highly recommend checking 00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:34.039 that episode out. Now, instead of leaning into 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.539 the music for this next song choice, I'm going 00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:40.319 to lean into the band's connections. And in this 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.920 case, that band is Primus, and they have a ton 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:46.240 of connections with other bands. Now, as Jim 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.579 mentioned, Tim Alexander. who didn't play on 00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:52.220 the track on Antipop, was drumming for Primus 00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:55.299 up until the end of 2024 when he left the band. 00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:59.640 But Primus is forging on with the drummer from 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.539 this next band, pulling double duty, at least 00:23:03.539 --> 00:23:06.319 for this one show, at their Live in the Sand 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:10.180 Festival, which takes place in March of 2025. 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:13.160 Well, I hope that piqued your interest because 00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:15.579 you're about to hear more about this band and 00:23:15.579 --> 00:23:19.240 this person's song choice from said band. And 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.380 that is my friend Tony G over at Patio Slave 00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:26.640 with his choice for the ultimate mixtape. One 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:33.000 song for the ultimate mixtape. Man. Doesn't matter 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.640 where it comes from. Any song, any genre. Oh, 00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:41.279 man. A song that always gives me chills is Lateralis 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.119 from Tool. I have seen them live probably four 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.359 or five times and get goosebumps every time the 00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:50.279 opening to it. And I know the Fibonacci sequence 00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:51.920 and all that stuff that goes into it. If you 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:54.200 want to deep dive that song and that record, 00:23:54.339 --> 00:23:57.140 there's a lot there. We did a whole episode on 00:23:57.140 --> 00:23:59.079 it. That was one of our best episodes too. It's 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:00.700 back there in the archives if you're looking 00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:04.329 for it. But that song... always finds its way 00:24:04.329 --> 00:24:06.769 into my headphones when i'm looking for a tried 00:24:06.769 --> 00:24:09.970 and true and a song that it makes me remember 00:24:09.970 --> 00:24:12.970 why i love to listen to music and this is one 00:24:12.970 --> 00:24:16.190 that's you know a1 when it comes to that so lateralis 00:24:16.190 --> 00:24:19.190 tool goosebumps just thinking about it man the 00:24:19.190 --> 00:24:21.670 third single from the album of the same name 00:24:21.670 --> 00:24:24.710 clocking in at five minutes and 47 seconds if 00:24:24.710 --> 00:24:27.049 you're listening to the radio edit but let's 00:24:27.049 --> 00:24:29.869 be honest no one's doing that unless they're 00:24:29.869 --> 00:24:33.640 hearing it on the radio so Clocking in at 9 minutes 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.680 and 24 seconds, Lateralis reached No. 14 on the 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.319 Billboard U .S. Mainstream Rock Chart and No. 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:44.180 18 on the U .S. Alternative Airplay Chart. Also, 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.160 Loudwire hailed Lateralis as the No. 1 song on 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.079 their list of the Top 50 Metal Songs of the 21st 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.289 Century, so a beloved choice by many. Tony G 00:24:56.289 --> 00:24:59.670 was my guest on episode 85, the ultimate rage 00:24:59.670 --> 00:25:02.029 against the machine playlist. And he and the 00:25:02.029 --> 00:25:05.150 fellas over at Patio Slave have a great thing 00:25:05.150 --> 00:25:07.509 going on over there. So be sure to check out 00:25:07.509 --> 00:25:09.529 what they're doing over there. There are a great 00:25:09.529 --> 00:25:12.349 bunch of guys. I have to say the music podcast 00:25:12.349 --> 00:25:16.170 community is a ridiculously strong one. And I, 00:25:16.170 --> 00:25:19.349 for one, am extremely grateful to be even included 00:25:19.349 --> 00:25:23.130 in a small fraction of it. But moving on from 00:25:23.130 --> 00:25:25.789 Tool. I'm going to step aside from leaning into 00:25:25.789 --> 00:25:28.289 the bands like I did for this pick, and I'm going 00:25:28.289 --> 00:25:31.450 to go lean into the music again. And what I'm 00:25:31.450 --> 00:25:33.789 going to do is lean into some of the prog elements 00:25:33.789 --> 00:25:37.410 that Tool brings to the table. Only I'm really 00:25:37.410 --> 00:25:40.369 going to lean into the prog here with this song 00:25:40.369 --> 00:25:43.230 choice from Christian Swain of Rock and Roll 00:25:43.230 --> 00:25:46.769 Archaeology and the founder and CEO of Pantheon 00:25:46.769 --> 00:25:49.809 Podcasts, the network that My Weekly Mixtape 00:25:49.809 --> 00:25:53.099 is extremely thankful to be a part of. Let's 00:25:53.099 --> 00:25:55.720 hear Christian's choice for the ultimate mixtape. 00:25:56.019 --> 00:26:00.119 Well, Brian, I have to say first, I hate this 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.940 question. I've always hated this question. It's 00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:07.440 just so hard for me to pick a particular song 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.900 for a desert island or locked away in a time 00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:17.359 capsule to be discovered. One song is just so 00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:22.700 hard for me because I love so many songs. That 00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:28.119 love is dependent on my mood. And so every day 00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:31.819 it could be a different song. But you asked the 00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:37.059 question and I did think about it. And I did 00:26:37.059 --> 00:26:40.599 something recently with another guest from a 00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:43.839 famous rock band that we kind of flipped it around 00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:46.339 a little bit in the, as opposed to the desert 00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:49.539 island playlist, we decided to look at it from 00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:54.009 a death row experience. And in fact, we did a 00:26:54.009 --> 00:26:56.650 full, like, what's the song for your last meal? 00:26:56.769 --> 00:27:00.390 The walk to the execution chamber as they hit 00:27:00.390 --> 00:27:03.390 the switch, the afterlife. We did all kinds of 00:27:03.390 --> 00:27:05.630 things so that there were several songs that 00:27:05.630 --> 00:27:09.490 were included. But anyway, to your point, let's 00:27:09.490 --> 00:27:12.470 look at it from that perspective. Okay, I'm on 00:27:12.470 --> 00:27:15.710 death row. I'm about ready to meet my maker. 00:27:15.930 --> 00:27:18.970 The executioner is going to flip the switch. 00:27:19.130 --> 00:27:21.819 Well, gosh, darn it. I want the longest song 00:27:21.819 --> 00:27:26.559 possible to play before that occurs. So considering 00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.539 Rock and Roll Archaeology just finished its latest 00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:33.160 big episode, I Know What I Like, The Rise and 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:35.420 Fall of Prague, I'm going to go with the Prague 00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:38.240 song. And I'm going to go with Close to the Edge 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:40.599 because it's like 20 minutes long. So I get an 00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:44.119 extra 20 minutes of life before the executioner 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:48.759 pulls the trigger. Probably one of the most creative 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:51.019 approaches I've heard to answering this question 00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:54.559 out of the 65 answers, but it immediately begs 00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:58.400 me to ask, as amazing as Closer to the Edge is, 00:27:59.220 --> 00:28:02.240 Transatlantic's The Whirlwind, which, even though 00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:05.980 the CD has a track sequencing of 12 songs, is 00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:09.880 considered one 77 minute and 46 second track. 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.900 So Christian, if you really want to squeeze in 00:28:12.900 --> 00:28:16.240 a few extra breaths. You can thank the supergroup 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:20.279 of Neil Morse, Mike Portnoy, Reina Stolt, and 00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:22.420 Pete Trewavas, because they've got you covered. 00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:26.640 But clocking in at a brief 18 minutes and 43 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.779 seconds in comparison, Closer to the Edge, the 00:28:29.779 --> 00:28:32.960 classic prog rock album side of four movements, 00:28:33.059 --> 00:28:36.359 is an absolutely masterful choice from Christian, 00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:38.559 and it's one that I'm sure the prog fans listening 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.480 are applauding. So now... I'm going to follow 00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:46.079 up Closer to the Edge in a twofold sense, as 00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:49.279 I'm going to stay in this prog rock realm, and 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:51.259 I'm also going to stick with the Pantheon Podcast 00:28:51.259 --> 00:28:55.119 Network as I play Steve from Something for Nothing, 00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:58.680 a Rush fan cast's pick for the ultimate mixtape. 00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.519 And I hope that introduction wasn't a spoiler 00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:03.599 in and of itself, but I guess we're about to 00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:07.960 find out. A mixtape locked in a time capsule 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.480 for future generations to hear. And of course, 00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:14.339 the song has to be a song about a futuristic 00:29:14.339 --> 00:29:17.299 society. And that song, of course, is a Rush 00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:20.519 song. It's Red Barchetta from Rush's arguably 00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.839 best album, Moving Pictures. And in my opinion, 00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:27.759 the greatest song on that album. This is a cinematic 00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:31.519 masterpiece. From the opening harmonics and Getty's 00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:34.460 cool bass line at the beginning, as you're hanging 00:29:34.460 --> 00:29:37.339 out at your uncle's country place, and your uncle 00:29:37.339 --> 00:29:40.170 gives you a car to drive. And the music takes 00:29:40.170 --> 00:29:43.089 you on that ride in your uncle's red Barchetta. 00:29:43.569 --> 00:29:46.630 As the song moves along, you are on that road, 00:29:46.710 --> 00:29:49.430 the excitement shivering up and down your spine, 00:29:49.690 --> 00:29:52.849 firing up the willing engine, tires spitting 00:29:52.849 --> 00:29:56.269 gravel, wind in your hair. The music, the lyrics, 00:29:56.410 --> 00:29:59.930 everything is just perfect. And maybe there is 00:29:59.930 --> 00:30:01.970 a motor law by the time you dig up that time 00:30:01.970 --> 00:30:04.769 capsule. This song just fits perfectly on any 00:30:04.769 --> 00:30:07.170 mixtape. You get to the end of the song, you 00:30:07.170 --> 00:30:09.640 race back to the farm. dream with your uncle 00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.380 at the fireside and move on to the next track 00:30:12.380 --> 00:30:15.200 on the mixtape. I actually don't think you could 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.740 say it any better than that. The song, while 00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:20.339 not a single from moving pictures was number 00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:23.559 five on Rolling Stone's, the 10 best rush songs 00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:27.279 list. And number three on ultimate classic rocks 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:32.740 list of all 167 rush songs ranked worst to best. 00:30:33.390 --> 00:30:36.069 If you're a Rush fan listening, I highly recommend 00:30:36.069 --> 00:30:39.190 you dive into all the amazing content that Steve 00:30:39.190 --> 00:30:41.410 and Jerry have produced over at Something for 00:30:41.410 --> 00:30:44.089 Nothing. And if you want to get your My Weekly 00:30:44.089 --> 00:30:47.970 Mixtape Rush fix, Steve was my guest on episode 00:30:47.970 --> 00:30:51.750 52. You ready for it? The Ultimate Rush Playlist. 00:30:52.490 --> 00:30:56.970 Impossible task, whittling 167 songs down to 00:30:56.970 --> 00:30:59.390 20. But give it a listen and let us know how 00:30:59.390 --> 00:31:03.539 we did. But now to close out the first 10 songs 00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:06.200 of the Ultimate Mixtape, I'm going to take us 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.460 a little bit away from the prog, but I'm going 00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:11.480 to keep that heft that Rush brings. I'm going 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.319 to amp it up a little bit with this classic choice 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:20.559 from Royal Tusk's Sandy McKinnon. One song. One 00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:22.819 song. That's it. Just one. You know, it's funny. 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:24.759 After we did this whole thing, it's the song 00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:26.960 that I didn't even write down. And it's probably 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:29.670 going to be when I was a kid. Hallowed Be Thy 00:31:29.670 --> 00:31:34.930 Name by Iron Maiden. Oh, nice. Of course, I got 00:31:34.930 --> 00:31:37.730 to be the asshole who puts in an eight -minute 00:31:37.730 --> 00:31:42.549 track. The guitar line, when I was a kid, made 00:31:42.549 --> 00:31:45.349 me go bananas. And when I was about five years 00:31:45.349 --> 00:31:48.509 old, my ma asked me what I wanted for my birthday. 00:31:48.630 --> 00:31:50.250 And I didn't know what the hell I was talking 00:31:50.250 --> 00:31:53.809 about. I had older brothers, and all I answered 00:31:53.809 --> 00:31:56.529 with was, I want heavy metal. My ma being the 00:31:56.529 --> 00:32:00.599 sweet lady she is. Went and got me number of 00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.440 the beast on cassette. And I listened to that 00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:07.220 record until the, or I actually had it on cassette, 00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:09.339 which got me the cassette. I listened to it till 00:32:09.339 --> 00:32:12.059 the ribbon snapped. Like it was like completely 00:32:12.059 --> 00:32:15.440 overplayed. And I got another one, did the same 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.119 thing. I love Iron Maiden. Love, love, love Iron 00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:21.700 Maiden. So if I had to take one desert Island 00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:24.400 song, it would be Iron Maiden's hell be my name. 00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:29.220 That is parenting done right. A hundred percent, 00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:31.980 man. A hundred percent. If there's one thing 00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:34.599 that I can always, I mean, I'm up for a million 00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:37.359 things, but one thing for sure is that she got 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.700 me into heavy music and I can safely say that 00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:42.380 my mom listens to great music. Growing up, listening 00:32:42.380 --> 00:32:45.140 to The Clash, my mom loved Bad Religion and all 00:32:45.140 --> 00:32:47.660 that kind of shit. But I guess I loved heavy 00:32:47.660 --> 00:32:51.539 metal before I even knew it. Horns up. Big time, 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:55.019 brother. Considered by many to be one of the 00:32:55.019 --> 00:32:57.960 greatest heavy metal songs of all time, we're 00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.299 upping the irons with Hallow Be Thy Name from 00:33:01.299 --> 00:33:04.240 Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast. Now, I 00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.180 have to admit, having recently seen the Future 00:33:07.180 --> 00:33:10.539 Past World Tour, it was kind of a bummer that 00:33:10.539 --> 00:33:15.039 I caught only one of three tours that Iron Maiden 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:19.480 has done since this song's inception. that didn't 00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:22.279 include this song in the set list. The other 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.799 two times were the Maiden England World Tour 00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:29.619 that ran from 2012 to 2014, and the second leg 00:33:29.619 --> 00:33:33.839 of the Book of Souls World Tour in 2017. However, 00:33:34.140 --> 00:33:37.779 I did catch Stranger in a Strange Land, which 00:33:37.779 --> 00:33:41.460 before this tour, according to setlist .fm at 00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:44.650 least, This is a song they only performed five 00:33:44.650 --> 00:33:50.089 times since 1987, leading into this Future Past 00:33:50.089 --> 00:33:53.410 Tour. So it was really, really cool to catch 00:33:53.410 --> 00:33:55.809 that one live. I actually have a video of it 00:33:55.809 --> 00:34:00.130 that I'll embed over on the episode page at myweeklymixtape 00:34:00.130 --> 00:34:04.130 .com. Royal Tusk is still out there kicking ass 00:34:04.130 --> 00:34:07.509 and taking names. And Sandy was such an incredible 00:34:07.509 --> 00:34:11.829 guest for episode 63, the ultimate modern hard 00:34:11.829 --> 00:34:14.969 rock playlist. So if hard rock is your thing, 00:34:15.050 --> 00:34:18.130 you really don't want to miss that one, nor do 00:34:18.130 --> 00:34:22.210 you want to miss Royal Tusk's latest album, 2024's 00:34:22.210 --> 00:34:25.369 Altruistic, which we do an album dive as well 00:34:25.369 --> 00:34:28.730 on that episode. But there you have it, folks. 00:34:28.869 --> 00:34:32.789 Side A of the Ultimate Mixtape Volume 1, which 00:34:32.789 --> 00:34:35.769 consists of the Beatles' Helter Skelter provided 00:34:35.769 --> 00:34:39.630 by D .T.

Head over to MyWeeklyMixtape .com 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.500 to hear all the songs we've discussed in this 00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:36.039 mix through the playlist embedded on the episode 00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:39.400 page. And now we're going to kick off Side B 00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:42.579 of Volume 1 of The Ultimate Mixtape, but keep 00:35:42.579 --> 00:35:45.099 in mind... This episode is a bit of a different 00:35:45.099 --> 00:35:47.280 animal. Think of this as like a box set, if you 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:51.059 will. We're really going one through 65 here 00:35:51.059 --> 00:35:53.420 over the course of these three episodes. It's 00:35:53.420 --> 00:35:56.219 not necessarily broken out in a side -by -side 00:35:56.219 --> 00:35:58.840 basis. Think of this more like an eight -track 00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:02.559 tape, where at least in this instance, the song 00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:04.840 doesn't get cut off mid -tune so it can flip 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:08.219 from like track three to track four. I tend to 00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:11.119 recall Iron Butterflies and Agatha DeVita doing 00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:14.730 that, but I digress. We closed out Side A with 00:36:14.730 --> 00:36:17.809 Iron Maiden's Hallowed Be Thy Name as sent in 00:36:17.809 --> 00:36:20.670 by Sandy McKinnon of Royal Tusk. We are going 00:36:20.670 --> 00:36:23.250 to follow that up by keeping things heavy and 00:36:23.250 --> 00:36:26.889 going with this pick from Don Jameson of VH1 00:36:26.889 --> 00:36:30.369 Classics That Metal Show and The Rockstrap Podcast. 00:36:31.269 --> 00:36:34.769 What am I trying to leave for the person opening 00:36:34.769 --> 00:36:37.949 the time capsule specifically? Like, this is 00:36:37.949 --> 00:36:39.869 heavy metal? Is that what you're talking about? 00:36:40.429 --> 00:36:42.929 Everybody has gone in a different direction with 00:36:42.929 --> 00:36:45.809 their answer with this one. So it's basically 00:36:45.809 --> 00:36:50.429 a song that you feel generations from now need 00:36:50.429 --> 00:36:53.940 to hear. Well, let's put heaven and hell in there. 00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:56.820 I mean, that has all the elements that you could 00:36:56.820 --> 00:37:00.619 possibly want in a metal song. You know, if for 00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:03.860 some reason a metal does die, which I don't believe 00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:06.579 it will, the first person that opens up this 00:37:06.579 --> 00:37:09.940 time capsule and listens to that song, they will 00:37:09.940 --> 00:37:13.400 start banging their head just out of pure instinct 00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:17.969 and heavy metal will come to life again. So I'm 00:37:17.969 --> 00:37:20.429 going to put Heaven and Hell in there. Just an 00:37:20.429 --> 00:37:23.389 unbelievable riff, incredible vocal performance 00:37:23.389 --> 00:37:27.190 by Ronnie, and not easy taking the place of Ozzy 00:37:27.190 --> 00:37:30.570 back then. But yeah, to me, that's as metal as 00:37:30.570 --> 00:37:33.650 it gets. The title track from Black Sabbath's 00:37:33.650 --> 00:37:36.769 ninth studio album and first without Ozzy on 00:37:36.769 --> 00:37:40.130 lead vocals. As the band featured at this point 00:37:40.130 --> 00:37:42.909 the late, great Ronnie James Dio on the mic. 00:37:43.449 --> 00:37:46.449 Heaven and Hell ranked number 11 in Martin Popoff's 00:37:46.449 --> 00:37:49.389 book, The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time. 00:37:49.530 --> 00:37:53.269 It also reached number 81 on VH1's Best Hard 00:37:53.269 --> 00:37:56.570 Rock Songs of All Time. And Kerrang! and Louder 00:37:56.570 --> 00:37:59.550 Sound ranked the song number three and number 00:37:59.550 --> 00:38:03.010 two on their respective lists of the greatest 00:38:03.010 --> 00:38:07.349 Black Sabbath songs. Don was a ridiculously knowledgeable 00:38:07.349 --> 00:38:11.570 guest on episode 68, the ultimate 80s metal playlist. 00:38:11.829 --> 00:38:14.449 And if you've ever watched that metal show, you 00:38:14.449 --> 00:38:16.769 already know that. But it's great to see him 00:38:16.769 --> 00:38:20.090 be a part of the Pantheon podcast network with 00:38:20.090 --> 00:38:23.150 the Rockstripe podcast. I look forward to collaborating 00:38:23.150 --> 00:38:27.369 with him again in the future as episode 68 was 00:38:27.369 --> 00:38:31.400 an absolute blast. Now, I like this heavy direction 00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:33.159 we're headed right now, so I think I'm going 00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:35.639 to keep this vibe going a little while longer 00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:39.579 with this pick from Joe Millican, author of Let's 00:38:39.579 --> 00:38:43.300 Go, Benjamin Orr, and the Cars. Well, Brian, 00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.179 this is certainly a tough one to answer. But 00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:48.920 if I had to choose just one song to include in 00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:51.579 your ultimate mixtape, I would have to go with 00:38:51.579 --> 00:38:54.179 my favorite song from my all -time favorite album, 00:38:54.659 --> 00:38:59.059 Rats in the Cellar. from the 1976 Aerosmith album 00:38:59.059 --> 00:39:02.420 titled Rocks. With the Rocks album, I believe 00:39:02.420 --> 00:39:04.599 Aerosmith was at the peak of their hard rock 00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:07.860 powers, and Rats in the Cellar epitomizes what 00:39:07.860 --> 00:39:11.519 badass 70s hard rock was all about. From the 00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:14.199 guitar sputtering opening of the song that sounds 00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:17.559 like the engine's starting, the song just takes 00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:20.440 off into this powerful, fuel -injected groove 00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:23.800 that just builds and builds and builds into a 00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:27.030 thunderous roar. From the dark, raunchy lyrics, 00:39:27.289 --> 00:39:30.389 cool guitar interplay between Joe Perry and Brad 00:39:30.389 --> 00:39:33.829 Whitford, some razor -sharp vocals, and an almost 00:39:33.829 --> 00:39:36.750 jazzy -feeling harmonica solo from Steven Tyler, 00:39:36.969 --> 00:39:40.150 all tapped off with a blistering guitar solo 00:39:40.150 --> 00:39:43.570 from Perry that brings everything up to a crescendo 00:39:43.570 --> 00:39:47.289 before it all comes crashing down into a pile 00:39:47.289 --> 00:39:51.250 of smoke and rubble at song's end. It's brilliant. 00:39:51.590 --> 00:39:55.030 For this fan, Rats in the Cellar represents everything 00:39:55.030 --> 00:39:57.429 that is great about the Rock and Roll Hall of 00:39:57.429 --> 00:40:00.769 Fame band from Boston. From Aerosmith's classic 00:40:00.769 --> 00:40:04.010 album, Rocks!, the album that Slash said sums 00:40:04.010 --> 00:40:07.289 up his taste in hard rock bands to this day and 00:40:07.289 --> 00:40:10.349 was one of Kurt Cobain's favorite albums, as 00:40:10.349 --> 00:40:13.710 well as everyone from Metallica to Motley Crue 00:40:13.710 --> 00:40:17.329 citing it as influential to their music. Love 00:40:17.329 --> 00:40:20.769 the pick. Now, Joe wrote a book, Let's Go, Benjamin 00:40:20.769 --> 00:40:23.630 Orr and the Cars, so you might ask yourself, 00:40:23.829 --> 00:40:26.679 why didn't he pick a Cars song? I'm guessing 00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:29.260 there's two reasons for that. And one of which 00:40:29.260 --> 00:40:32.960 is he already picked 10 car songs on episode 00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:36.920 39, the ultimate cars playlist. And two, he's 00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.099 currently finishing up a new book all about Aerosmith's 00:40:40.099 --> 00:40:42.519 Joe Perry. So be on the lookout for that one 00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.940 later this year. Now, the next song up is actually. 00:40:46.460 --> 00:40:49.059 Pretty easy choice for me, as I feel like these 00:40:49.059 --> 00:40:52.539 songs sit perfectly next to each other. So with 00:40:52.539 --> 00:40:55.079 that, here's Miles Schumann of Rock Camp the 00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.460 Podcast with his pick for the ultimate mixtape. 00:40:59.099 --> 00:41:01.500 It's the most impossible question of all time. 00:41:01.539 --> 00:41:04.260 But if I'm going to choose my personal one, you 00:41:04.260 --> 00:41:05.960 know, the first band that really got me into 00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:09.400 this music was Guns N' Roses. And I loved Mr. 00:41:09.659 --> 00:41:12.199 Brownstone. That was my favorite off -appetite 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:14.539 of all time. I love the drums and everything. 00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:16.820 And so... For a long time, I considered that 00:41:16.820 --> 00:41:19.860 my favorite song of all time. So that's my pick. 00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:23.699 Mr. Brownstone was the first Guns N' Roses single 00:41:23.699 --> 00:41:26.599 released outside of the U .S. as the A -side 00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:30.480 of It's So Easy over in the U .K. But I remember 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:33.619 it here in the US as the B -side of Welcome to 00:41:33.619 --> 00:41:36.519 the Jungle, one of the first parental advisory 00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:39.920 explicit lyric cassettes I picked up back in 00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:44.420 the 80s. This album was my quote -unquote maturing 00:41:44.420 --> 00:41:47.480 and listening to what would become my personal 00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:50.880 taste in hard rock music at the time. For me, 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.440 if I had to pick my two favorite songs from Appetite 00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:56.139 for Destruction, it would be It's So Easy and 00:41:56.139 --> 00:41:59.340 Mr. Brownstone. So I love the choice here. And 00:41:59.340 --> 00:42:02.840 you can hear more from Miles on episode 64, the 00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:05.840 ultimate classic rock anthems playlist, along 00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:08.360 with Brit Lightning of Vixen, who chimed in earlier 00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:11.900 with Eagles Hotel, California. And you can also 00:42:11.900 --> 00:42:16.429 catch them both on Rock Camp, the podcast. So 00:42:16.429 --> 00:42:18.670 I feel like we're hitting this nice hard rock 00:42:18.670 --> 00:42:20.610 stride here. So I'm going to keep things going 00:42:20.610 --> 00:42:23.730 with this pick from Winona Fighter's Coco Kinnon. 00:42:24.329 --> 00:42:29.590 Just any song ever. You are correct. I'm going 00:42:29.590 --> 00:42:32.150 to have to go with my favorite song of all time. 00:42:33.070 --> 00:42:38.469 Foo Fighters, Best of You. Wow. Incredible song. 00:42:38.630 --> 00:42:41.469 Why did you choose it? I love the message behind 00:42:41.469 --> 00:42:45.460 it. I think it's such a powerful. fucking song. 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:48.760 I think it just, it'll get you in your feels, 00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:52.199 but just like how I want people to feel when 00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:55.059 I'm in the market to please no one, that song 00:42:55.059 --> 00:42:58.019 makes me feel strong and it makes me feel like 00:42:58.019 --> 00:43:01.559 I can do anything. The song reached number 18 00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:05.099 on the Billboard US Hot 100, number one on the 00:43:05.099 --> 00:43:08.219 Canada Rock Top 30 and the UK Rock and Metal 00:43:08.219 --> 00:43:11.320 Charts, number five in Australia, and was also 00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:14.599 a top 10 hit in Belgium, Hungary, and Scotland. 00:43:14.900 --> 00:43:17.639 And in terms of cover songs, I don't think we 00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:19.559 could talk about Best of You without bringing 00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:22.619 up Prince's live version from his Super Bowl 00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:25.900 halftime show performance. Was it a hat tip to 00:43:25.900 --> 00:43:28.019 the Foo Fighters cover of Darling Nikki back 00:43:28.019 --> 00:43:30.980 in the 90s? Sadly, I don't think we're ever going 00:43:30.980 --> 00:43:33.900 to know the answer to that one, but damn, was 00:43:33.900 --> 00:43:37.079 that a killer cover. Coco was such a delight 00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:41.019 to have on episode 71, the ultimate 90s punk 00:43:41.019 --> 00:43:43.719 rock playlist, and she'll be back this February 00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:47.139 for an album dive into Winona Fighter's first 00:43:47.139 --> 00:43:50.519 full -length studio album, My Apologies to the 00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:54.130 Chef, so be on the lookout for that one. Now, 00:43:54.150 --> 00:43:57.110 best of you took the pace down slightly coming 00:43:57.110 --> 00:44:00.010 out of Mr. Brownstone, but don't worry. I'm picking 00:44:00.010 --> 00:44:02.630 it right back up again with this song choice 00:44:02.630 --> 00:44:06.969 from Patreon mixtaper Tom Hutchinson. The ultimate 00:44:06.969 --> 00:44:11.929 mixtape. Oh, so there's anything goes here. This 00:44:11.929 --> 00:44:18.050 is all bets are off. Wow. You you've hit me with 00:44:18.050 --> 00:44:22.150 the hypothetical steel chair here, Brian. That 00:44:22.150 --> 00:44:27.780 is. God, I mean, there is so many songs that 00:44:27.780 --> 00:44:34.440 I could pick. Oh, God. If I had to pick one song, 00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.000 and we're putting it on the hypothetical mixtape 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.880 of life, and everybody is going to have to hear 00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:41.920 it to the end of time, I'm not going to pick 00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:44.300 something everybody's probably heard in their 00:44:44.300 --> 00:44:48.559 life. I am going to go a little outside the realm. 00:44:50.090 --> 00:44:51.869 You know, it might get a little bit of hate. 00:44:51.889 --> 00:44:54.329 It might get a little bit of love. But I'm going 00:44:54.329 --> 00:44:59.230 to go with Seven Dusts' Denial. Ooh, okay. It's 00:44:59.230 --> 00:45:01.789 a personal favorite of mine. LeJohn Witherspoon 00:45:01.789 --> 00:45:06.309 is a fantastic, clean singer. He enjoys audiences. 00:45:06.449 --> 00:45:10.469 He enjoys people in general. So that's one vibe 00:45:10.469 --> 00:45:13.409 of it for me. But that song, it starts slow, 00:45:13.570 --> 00:45:18.519 has a fun, just heavy punch to it. But it's 90s 00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:21.619 new metal at its best. Seven Dust isn't as popular 00:45:21.619 --> 00:45:25.099 as Limp Bizkit, Korn, or anybody in that realm. 00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:29.519 It's just a good band that people don't give 00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:32.500 a lot of love to. And what I'll add to that, 00:45:32.659 --> 00:45:36.480 to what you said, they might not have been as 00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:40.760 popular as Limp Bizkit or Korn, but I think it's 00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:43.000 safe to say that Seven Dust might be one of the 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:47.570 most respected new metal bands by every... other 00:45:47.570 --> 00:45:51.389 band in that scene i feel like if they had a 00:45:51.389 --> 00:45:54.550 meeting of all the new metal bands and they were 00:45:54.550 --> 00:45:57.289 all in a room and they said which band do you 00:45:57.289 --> 00:45:59.449 respect the most in this room put it in a hat 00:45:59.449 --> 00:46:01.690 i don't know i think seven dust might win it 00:46:01.690 --> 00:46:04.289 unanimously because i have never heard another 00:46:04.289 --> 00:46:07.849 band or another new metal fan say something bad 00:46:07.849 --> 00:46:11.170 about this group as people and as musicians no 00:46:11.170 --> 00:46:14.340 and I hate to say it, but the Nu Metal band that 00:46:14.340 --> 00:46:16.960 people aren't really familiar with is Snot. I 00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:18.659 mean, I love them. They're a self -titled album. 00:46:18.780 --> 00:46:21.639 The only album they have is fantastic. But LaJohn 00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:23.719 Witherspoon and Seven Dust were huge friends 00:46:23.719 --> 00:46:26.119 with them. Yeah. And when the lead singer, mind 00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:27.900 me, I can't remember his name off the top of 00:46:27.900 --> 00:46:30.360 my head, passed away in a car accident, they 00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:33.320 helped complete their album that was in production. 00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:35.579 And they got a bunch of people within the Nu 00:46:35.579 --> 00:46:37.500 Metal community to sing a lot of the songs, but 00:46:37.500 --> 00:46:40.490 Seven Dust played a lot of the backing. LaJohn 00:46:40.490 --> 00:46:43.130 Witherspoon did a few songs. And like you said, 00:46:43.170 --> 00:46:46.570 they're fantastic guys. I mean, I got a cameo 00:46:46.570 --> 00:46:50.250 with LaJohn and it was awesome. Super nice guy, 00:46:50.369 --> 00:46:52.849 answered all my questions that I had and still 00:46:52.849 --> 00:46:55.489 made me laugh. And if you haven't watched their 00:46:55.489 --> 00:46:58.130 Woodstock 99 performance out there, please do 00:46:58.130 --> 00:47:02.809 because it's 45 minutes front to back of fantasticness. 00:47:02.949 --> 00:47:06.469 And I'll just add the lead singer was Lynch Strait. 00:47:06.590 --> 00:47:08.920 Thank you. I couldn't remember it all. Yeah, 00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.360 the album was called Straight Up. That was the 00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:13.460 tribute album. If anybody wants to look up Snot, 00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:17.159 again, ridiculously underrated. I think Snot 00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:20.380 would have been as big as Limp Bizkit and Korn 00:47:20.380 --> 00:47:23.519 had the tragedy not happened with Lin. 100%. 00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:27.360 I think that first album, I mean, every song 00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:31.920 on it, it was like an 80s punk mix of Black Flag 00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:36.059 and Circle Jerks meets a heavy metal of Faith 00:47:36.059 --> 00:47:39.869 No More. or even like a Pearl Jam, a heavy Pearl 00:47:39.869 --> 00:47:43.489 Jam, and just slam them together to an amazing 00:47:43.489 --> 00:47:47.230 album. The lead single from their 1999 album 00:47:47.230 --> 00:47:50.250 Home, the song reached number 14 on the Billboard 00:47:50.250 --> 00:47:53.750 Mainstream Rock Chart and number 26 on the Modern 00:47:53.750 --> 00:47:56.750 Rock Chart. Tom has been a guest twice on My 00:47:56.750 --> 00:48:00.150 Weekly Mixtape thus far. First on episode 65, 00:48:00.369 --> 00:48:03.530 the ultimate Tony Hawk pro skater soundtracks 00:48:03.530 --> 00:48:07.480 playlist. And then on episode 96, the ultimate 00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:10.719 punk rock workout playlist. Both were extremely 00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:13.719 fun conversations. And I'm sure Tom will be back 00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:15.920 this year with another topic as him and I are 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:18.559 currently working out some ideas on the side. 00:48:18.579 --> 00:48:21.239 Now, more importantly, I want to thank Tom for 00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:24.500 being a huge part of the Patreon mixtaper community. 00:48:24.820 --> 00:48:27.179 And if those listening would like to join us, 00:48:27.260 --> 00:48:31.480 visit patreon .com forward slash my weekly mixtape. 00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:34.460 Now coming out of seven dust, I know where I 00:48:34.460 --> 00:48:37.539 want to go in the several songs ahead, but I 00:48:37.539 --> 00:48:39.380 need to start to bring us out of this heavier 00:48:39.380 --> 00:48:41.920 side of things to get us there. And I think this 00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:44.420 next song will be the perfect transition to where 00:48:44.420 --> 00:48:46.980 we're currently sitting now in the playlist to 00:48:46.980 --> 00:48:50.400 where I want to head next. So with that said, 00:48:50.500 --> 00:48:53.400 here's Zach Derby of knee cast with his song 00:48:53.400 --> 00:48:57.400 choice for the ultimate mixtape. The greatest 00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:03.139 for all time. How do I choose this? Oh, my gosh. 00:49:04.699 --> 00:49:08.579 All right. So thank you for springing that on 00:49:08.579 --> 00:49:11.940 me. So as quickly as I could, going through, 00:49:11.980 --> 00:49:16.219 again, the plethora of songs and shit that I 00:49:16.219 --> 00:49:19.199 have filed in my brain. There's a lot of great 00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:21.460 songs I love personally. I love listening to. 00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:24.280 I love cranking up. If I'm driving in the car, 00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:25.880 it's like, man, I love hearing Thunderstruck. 00:49:25.900 --> 00:49:28.019 Or, man, if I want to cry, I'm going to listen 00:49:28.019 --> 00:49:34.530 to Landslide. But for me, a song that when I 00:49:34.530 --> 00:49:37.150 heard it, I was playing this on college radio 00:49:37.150 --> 00:49:40.550 and it was unique. I hadn't heard anything like 00:49:40.550 --> 00:49:45.170 it. And the singer was like a Brad Delp. And 00:49:45.170 --> 00:49:49.610 I mean that in the sense that he could sing lower. 00:49:49.769 --> 00:49:53.769 He could go high, higher than I necessarily would 00:49:53.769 --> 00:49:57.150 like. But I mean, it was stuck out. And then. 00:49:58.170 --> 00:50:02.690 Years and years later, when my wife and I finally 00:50:02.690 --> 00:50:05.510 sit down to choose a song and how I convinced 00:50:05.510 --> 00:50:08.030 her to be my wife, I'm still not sure. I know 00:50:08.030 --> 00:50:11.070 the feeling. We were going through a variety 00:50:11.070 --> 00:50:13.329 of different songs that meant something to us. 00:50:13.389 --> 00:50:17.710 And this song off this album, we had both heard 00:50:17.710 --> 00:50:21.969 at different times of our lives. But it spoke 00:50:21.969 --> 00:50:25.800 to us and we found a wonderful cover. of it that 00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:28.599 we actually played for our wedding entrance song 00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:32.199 in our dance but i'm gonna go with the darkness 00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:35.579 i believe in a thing called love i knew it soon 00:50:35.579 --> 00:50:37.719 as you said brad delp i'm like we're getting 00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:40.920 the darkness and that was a band that when i 00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:45.260 heard them i went what is this how how is he 00:50:45.260 --> 00:50:49.780 able to just do that and it's so high and then 00:50:49.780 --> 00:50:53.130 come back down And it's just a fun song. And 00:50:53.130 --> 00:50:55.369 they've got weird shit. They've got weird songs. 00:50:55.789 --> 00:50:58.949 And that one is certainly out there, but it was 00:50:58.949 --> 00:51:03.010 just straightforward. And it still means the 00:51:03.010 --> 00:51:05.110 world to me because that was something that we 00:51:05.110 --> 00:51:07.389 were able to connect with and incorporate into 00:51:07.389 --> 00:51:09.989 our lives and into our wedding. Even though it 00:51:09.989 --> 00:51:14.269 would be a more appropriately themed and timed 00:51:14.269 --> 00:51:17.849 cover, but still it was worked in. Well, being 00:51:17.849 --> 00:51:19.650 the cover fanatic that I am, I have to follow 00:51:19.650 --> 00:51:22.070 up and ask. Who did the cover? Because now I 00:51:22.070 --> 00:51:25.730 want to hear it. So Dana, my wife, was the one 00:51:25.730 --> 00:51:28.550 who found this. It was a couple called Colin 00:51:28.550 --> 00:51:33.210 and Caroline. And they do an awesome duo acoustic 00:51:33.210 --> 00:51:36.190 guitars version of it. And it's wonderful. It's 00:51:36.190 --> 00:51:39.630 beautiful. It's what we wanted. We did get the 00:51:39.630 --> 00:51:42.230 darkness playing during the party side of things. 00:51:42.329 --> 00:51:45.050 So they did play the rock and roll version during 00:51:45.050 --> 00:51:47.150 the wedding. But for us to have our dance and 00:51:47.150 --> 00:51:50.780 everything, it was Colin and Caroline. From their 00:51:50.780 --> 00:51:54.559 debut 2003 album, Permission to Land, the song 00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:57.460 reached number 19 on the Billboard U .S. bubbling 00:51:57.460 --> 00:52:00.880 under Hot 100 singles chart. It also hit number 00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:04.739 six on the Canada Rock Top 30, number 40 in Australia, 00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:08.519 and number two on the U .K. singles chart, among 00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:12.119 many others. This song always put a smile on 00:52:12.119 --> 00:52:14.639 my face. It was unlike anything out there when 00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:16.579 it first hit, at least the airwaves here in the 00:52:16.579 --> 00:52:21.099 U .S. At the time, Early 2003, it was pop punk 00:52:21.099 --> 00:52:23.980 post grunge and new metal still holding strong. 00:52:24.460 --> 00:52:27.360 This was different. This was this old school, 00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:31.300 almost 80s metal sounding glam rock. And to me, 00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:33.599 it just hit at the perfect time of nostalgia 00:52:33.599 --> 00:52:37.260 for that era when I was growing up. And there 00:52:37.260 --> 00:52:39.840 was no escaping the song anywhere you went. It 00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:43.059 was all over the radio. I love Zach's story and 00:52:43.059 --> 00:52:45.539 the way he used the song. I actually had a chance 00:52:45.539 --> 00:52:48.230 to hang out with Zach in person because. Believe 00:52:48.230 --> 00:52:51.929 it or not, some of us podcasters meet offline 00:52:51.929 --> 00:52:54.369 at times. But I got to meet him and his wonderful 00:52:54.369 --> 00:52:57.389 family. Just another testament to the power of 00:52:57.389 --> 00:53:00.429 podcasting and the community that I've become 00:53:00.429 --> 00:53:03.170 a part of that I'm so grateful for. Zach was 00:53:03.170 --> 00:53:06.670 a guest on episode 76, the ultimate guilt -free 00:53:06.670 --> 00:53:09.969 90s guilty pleasures playlist. And he's doing 00:53:09.969 --> 00:53:12.130 some awesome stuff over with the gentleman at 00:53:12.130 --> 00:53:14.789 NeatCast. So be sure to follow up with what they've 00:53:14.789 --> 00:53:17.840 got going on over there. And with his pick of 00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:20.800 the darkness, I have a way now to move us out 00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:23.179 of hard rock and into something a little bit 00:53:23.179 --> 00:53:26.780 more punky because there is some punk songs in 00:53:26.780 --> 00:53:29.380 my list. And I feel like coming out of the darkness 00:53:29.380 --> 00:53:32.119 is going to be the only way I can get there in 00:53:32.119 --> 00:53:34.239 a reasonable manner. So I'm going to start with 00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:37.559 this pick from Matt Kennedy over at X Radio X. 00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:40.380 All right, Brian, I've given this a lot of thought 00:53:40.380 --> 00:53:45.460 to craft the ultimate. You need to have something 00:53:45.460 --> 00:53:48.480 fun, something that rocks, something that doesn't 00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:51.460 suffer from repeat listening. And because you 00:53:51.460 --> 00:53:53.820 and I have a history of discussing punk covers, 00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:56.579 I have to include a punk cover. I want to stay 00:53:56.579 --> 00:54:00.559 within my wheelhouse, within the theme, if you 00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:02.539 will. So I've got to go with something from Me 00:54:02.539 --> 00:54:04.219 First and the Gimme Gimmes. I know you're a fan, 00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:06.380 and I would definitely go, just to throw you 00:54:06.380 --> 00:54:09.389 a curve, I would go with... Science Fiction Double 00:54:09.389 --> 00:54:12.070 Feature by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, a song 00:54:12.070 --> 00:54:14.969 they covered from the Rocky Horror Picture Show 00:54:14.969 --> 00:54:18.369 soundtrack. It's a great jam. It's so fun. It's 00:54:18.369 --> 00:54:21.050 a little bit silly and I love it. So that's what 00:54:21.050 --> 00:54:24.889 I would include in this ultimate mixtape. From 00:54:24.889 --> 00:54:28.750 1999's Aura Drag, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes 00:54:28.750 --> 00:54:31.630 cover of Science Fiction Double Feature from 00:54:31.630 --> 00:54:34.429 the Rocky Horror Picture Show. As someone who 00:54:34.429 --> 00:54:37.250 spent many a Saturday nights in high school and 00:54:37.250 --> 00:54:40.369 college going to see Rocky Horror in the theaters, 00:54:40.610 --> 00:54:43.210 I approve this pick. Now, if you're a fan of 00:54:43.210 --> 00:54:46.289 punk covers, I've got you covered. As Matt was 00:54:46.289 --> 00:54:49.730 a guest on episode 26, the ultimate punk rock 00:54:49.730 --> 00:54:52.630 cover songs playlist. And while I will spoil 00:54:52.630 --> 00:54:55.010 the fact that Me First and the Gimme Gimmes does 00:54:55.010 --> 00:54:58.010 make our list, I'm not going to say which song. 00:54:58.050 --> 00:55:00.010 So I'm really not giving too much away there. 00:55:00.619 --> 00:55:03.320 Once again, shout out to Matt and his co -host 00:55:03.320 --> 00:55:06.360 Jace over at X Radio X. They're putting out some 00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:08.579 fun music related content over there as well. 00:55:08.699 --> 00:55:11.480 So be sure to check out what they're doing. And 00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:14.820 I hope we get to continue this musical podcasting 00:55:14.820 --> 00:55:17.460 friendship we've developed over the years. But 00:55:17.460 --> 00:55:19.579 now that we've gotten into the punk section of 00:55:19.579 --> 00:55:22.079 the mixtape, it's a perfect time to add this 00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:26.619 choice from Fox and Friends, Ed Cunard. I have 00:55:26.619 --> 00:55:29.489 been dreading this question. I have been dreading 00:55:29.489 --> 00:55:33.889 this question because there's really there's 00:55:33.889 --> 00:55:38.070 no way this doesn't look bad for me because like 00:55:38.070 --> 00:55:40.769 there's so many artists I know and love and like 00:55:40.769 --> 00:55:43.570 in some cases know personally. But don't I have 00:55:43.570 --> 00:55:45.949 to go with my partner for this, Brian? Don't 00:55:45.949 --> 00:55:48.349 I have to put him in the mixtape? I would say 00:55:48.349 --> 00:55:51.050 so. Yeah. Otherwise, I mean, he's much smaller 00:55:51.050 --> 00:55:52.849 than I am physically. So it's not like he's going 00:55:52.849 --> 00:55:56.599 to beat me up, but like I try. But I'm going 00:55:56.599 --> 00:55:59.679 to use the song that we use for the theme song 00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:01.559 for Fox and Friends, which is a Black Guy Fox 00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:06.900 song. It is New American Meltdown. It's political 00:56:06.900 --> 00:56:11.219 punk rock with a hard driving beat, great lyrics. 00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:14.420 I mean, it's my current theme song. I have to 00:56:14.420 --> 00:56:15.800 I have to choose the song that is my current 00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:18.320 theme song. Right. Right. It's so great working 00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:20.079 with an artist. So you have like a built in theme 00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:22.579 song. You don't have to like worry about like 00:56:22.579 --> 00:56:24.659 licensing. It's like it's like, hey, he wrote 00:56:24.659 --> 00:56:26.539 this song. We can use it all we want. I promise. 00:56:26.739 --> 00:56:31.320 Thank you. So, yeah, you know what? Black Guy 00:56:31.320 --> 00:56:34.559 Fawkes, New American Meltdown. That's going to 00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:38.449 be my choice. From 2022's Life, Love, and the 00:56:38.449 --> 00:56:42.369 Bomb, Black Guy Fox was a part of 2024's Lost 00:56:42.369 --> 00:56:45.570 Evenings Festival that's hosted by Episode 5 00:56:45.570 --> 00:56:48.769 My Weekly Mixtape guest, Frank Turner. So if 00:56:48.769 --> 00:56:51.730 you're a fan of folk punk or punk rock in general, 00:56:51.849 --> 00:56:54.469 be sure to check out his music. And I've had 00:56:54.469 --> 00:56:56.949 the pleasure of getting to know Ed via his former 00:56:56.949 --> 00:56:59.969 podcast, The Greatest Song Ever Sung Poorly, 00:57:00.010 --> 00:57:02.329 and now he's with Fox and Friends, and he's been 00:57:02.329 --> 00:57:05.940 a guest twice on My Weekly Mixtape. all the way 00:57:05.940 --> 00:57:09.039 back as one of my first episodes, Episode 3, 00:57:09.300 --> 00:57:12.960 The Ultimate Songs of 1993 playlist, as well 00:57:12.960 --> 00:57:17.019 as Episode 86, The Ultimate Karaoke 101 playlist, 00:57:17.420 --> 00:57:21.739 PSAs, cliches, and home runs. I appreciate Ed's 00:57:21.739 --> 00:57:24.039 friendship and support of the show, and I'm looking 00:57:24.039 --> 00:57:27.599 forward to collaborating with him again in 2025, 00:57:27.940 --> 00:57:29.860 because we always have a great time talking music. 00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:32.420 Now, believe it or not, we're going to do a little 00:57:32.420 --> 00:57:34.619 bit of a pivot here again, because there's... 00:57:35.019 --> 00:57:37.980 Not many punk rock picks overall out of the 65 00:57:37.980 --> 00:57:41.199 songs, but there's certainly that influence and 00:57:41.199 --> 00:57:44.659 that vibe and that spirit that lives and breathes 00:57:44.659 --> 00:57:48.119 in other songs, including this next pick, which 00:57:48.119 --> 00:57:51.500 comes your way from Australia and Patreon mixtape 00:57:51.500 --> 00:57:54.960 or Seeker. Hi, Brian. It's Seeker here all the 00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:57.199 way from Australia. My pick for the ultimate 00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:01.059 mixtape is The Dogs Are Talking by The Angels. 00:58:01.769 --> 00:58:04.090 The Angels are another Australian band and I'm 00:58:04.090 --> 00:58:07.269 here to represent Australian music. I don't know 00:58:07.269 --> 00:58:09.889 exactly how well it's received overseas, but 00:58:09.889 --> 00:58:13.369 I think it is pretty well received. The Angels 00:58:13.369 --> 00:58:19.130 came out of a time that produced ACDC and Skyhooks 00:58:19.130 --> 00:58:23.250 and other amazing Australian bands from the 70s 00:58:23.250 --> 00:58:26.309 and 80s. This song I think was released in 1990, 00:58:26.489 --> 00:58:30.090 but it just rocks. It's got a really great... 00:58:30.329 --> 00:58:34.690 start and it just fires into it i really recommend 00:58:34.690 --> 00:58:38.349 all your listeners look for the angels otherwise 00:58:38.349 --> 00:58:43.510 known as angel city so yeah give it a bell from 00:58:43.510 --> 00:58:47.130 their 1989 album the angels from angel city here 00:58:47.130 --> 00:58:50.429 in the u .s at least or 1990s beyond salvation 00:58:50.429 --> 00:58:54.190 in australia And in a strange synergy with early 00:58:54.190 --> 00:58:57.630 ACDC releases, those two albums I just mentioned, 00:58:57.730 --> 00:59:00.510 completely different track listings, depending 00:59:00.510 --> 00:59:03.409 on if you get the US or the Australia edition. 00:59:03.750 --> 00:59:06.949 Plus, the US version included re -recorded versions 00:59:06.949 --> 00:59:09.889 of some of the Angels' earlier hits. So that 00:59:09.889 --> 00:59:11.530 might be something that Seeker and I maybe have 00:59:11.530 --> 00:59:14.570 to send each other a trade of the US and Australia 00:59:14.570 --> 00:59:18.050 versions of the discs. But back to Dogs Are Talking. 00:59:18.210 --> 00:59:21.389 The song reached number 11 in Australia and number 00:59:21.389 --> 00:59:24.469 12 in New Zealand. Thank you again to Seeker 00:59:24.469 --> 00:59:27.309 for the pick. It's truly awesome having people 00:59:27.309 --> 00:59:30.070 from all over the world in the Patreon community 00:59:30.070 --> 00:59:32.809 because we're getting to hear stories that are 00:59:32.809 --> 00:59:37.239 genuine to where people are from. But the Angels 00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:39.880 are probably a band that flew under the radar 00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:42.739 for a lot of people here in the US. So I think 00:59:42.739 --> 00:59:44.420 it's awesome that we're getting to talk about 00:59:44.420 --> 00:59:47.699 them on this show today, getting that Australian 00:59:47.699 --> 00:59:51.420 perspective. And with that, for our last song 00:59:51.420 --> 00:59:54.380 of the side, I think we're going to follow up 00:59:54.380 --> 00:59:57.820 Dogs Are Talking with this choice from the Gin 00:59:57.820 --> 01:00:01.679 Blossoms, Robin Wilson. Well, you see, I'm... 01:00:02.119 --> 01:00:04.820 I got a lot of tattoos here and all of these 01:00:04.820 --> 01:00:08.440 tattoos, most of these tattoos are the lyrics 01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:13.239 or the titles of some of my favorite songs. So 01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:16.300 I've got Tom Petty right here. The waiting is 01:00:16.300 --> 01:00:20.699 the hardest part. The opening line of Bohemian 01:00:20.699 --> 01:00:23.900 Rhapsody. Is this the real life? Is this just 01:00:23.900 --> 01:00:27.219 fantasy? Here I've got David Bowie. Turn and 01:00:27.219 --> 01:00:31.349 face the strange changes. The Rolling Stones, 01:00:31.670 --> 01:00:35.349 War Children, It's Just a Shot Away, Cheap Trick, 01:00:35.630 --> 01:00:39.809 Surrender, but Don't Give Yourself Away. All 01:00:39.809 --> 01:00:44.269 of these songs, any one of those could be the 01:00:44.269 --> 01:00:49.329 right answer. I'll give you two of them that 01:00:49.329 --> 01:00:53.630 I would suggest. One would be from Cheap Trick, 01:00:53.730 --> 01:00:57.030 I would say California Man. To me, it's the very 01:00:57.030 --> 01:01:00.070 definition. of a rock and roll song if you were 01:01:00.070 --> 01:01:05.570 to try to explain to some visiting aliens like 01:01:05.570 --> 01:01:08.730 what is rock and roll i think you could just 01:01:08.730 --> 01:01:10.949 put on california man by cheat trick and say 01:01:10.949 --> 01:01:16.530 this is it this is rock so i would say that um 01:01:16.530 --> 01:01:24.250 and then but just as a as a fan that uh you know 01:01:24.250 --> 01:01:27.710 has made a lot of mixed tapes and been affected 01:01:27.710 --> 01:01:31.050 by the bands that I've grown up listening to 01:01:31.050 --> 01:01:35.369 and wanted to emulate, I think if I could only 01:01:35.369 --> 01:01:38.829 choose one song to put on a mixtape, I would 01:01:38.829 --> 01:01:44.289 vote for She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult. Nice! 01:01:45.710 --> 01:01:48.150 So I've got that one right there in the crook 01:01:48.150 --> 01:01:51.750 of my elbow. She Sells Sanctuary, I think, is 01:01:51.750 --> 01:01:57.980 maybe the coolest song of the 1980s. And so the 01:01:57.980 --> 01:02:00.860 cult had a huge influence on me as a songwriter, 01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:03.900 as a performer. The reason I play tambourine 01:02:03.900 --> 01:02:07.139 is because of the cult. They were the only like 01:02:07.139 --> 01:02:09.599 hard rock band that was playing a lot of tambourine 01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:15.300 in the 80s. And I latched onto that. And I decided 01:02:15.300 --> 01:02:18.639 if I ever get to be a lead singer in a rock band, 01:02:18.739 --> 01:02:20.599 I'm going to play tambourine. And I took it upon 01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:25.000 myself to really get it down and study. At the 01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:29.900 feet of the masters. So, yeah, I think if I could 01:02:29.900 --> 01:02:31.960 only pick one song for a mixtape, it would be 01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:36.360 She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult. From 1985's 01:02:36.360 --> 01:02:39.440 Love, the song reached number 36 on the Billboard 01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:43.639 U .S. Dance Club Songs chart, number 11 on Canada's 01:02:43.639 --> 01:02:47.280 Top Singles chart, number 15 in the U .K., number 01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:50.860 45 in Europe. Number 27 in Ireland and number 01:02:50.860 --> 01:02:54.360 35 in the Netherlands. Worldwide hit here. It 01:02:54.360 --> 01:02:57.099 was an absolute pleasure talking all things Jim 01:02:57.099 --> 01:03:00.699 Blossoms with Robin on episode 78. So if you're 01:03:00.699 --> 01:03:02.559 a fan of their music, you don't want to miss 01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:05.159 that sit down.
