00:00:11.009 --> 00:00:13.810
Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast that

00:00:13.810 --> 00:00:16.690
takes the classic mixtape approach to building

00:00:16.690 --> 00:00:19.329
a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn.

00:00:19.570 --> 00:00:22.570
Joining me once again as guest curator is Patreon

00:00:22.570 --> 00:00:25.449
mixtaper Tom Hutchinson. Tom, welcome back to

00:00:25.449 --> 00:00:27.769
the show, man. Thank you, Brian. It's always

00:00:27.769 --> 00:00:30.309
a pleasure. I love listening and I love being

00:00:30.309 --> 00:00:32.049
a part of this. And this is going to be a fun

00:00:32.049 --> 00:00:34.369
episode for me and you. Yeah, we are going to

00:00:34.369 --> 00:00:36.350
have a lot of fun tonight because tonight we're

00:00:36.350 --> 00:00:38.990
going to be talking about two... very popular

00:00:38.990 --> 00:00:42.729
topics on past My Weekly Mixtape episodes, and

00:00:42.729 --> 00:00:46.770
that is punk rock mixes and workout mixes. So

00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:49.810
what I'm going to do is merge them together to

00:00:49.810 --> 00:00:54.109
create, well, the ultimate punk rock workout

00:00:54.109 --> 00:00:58.590
mixtape. Uber creative, right? Now, Tom, what

00:00:58.590 --> 00:01:00.929
were you looking for the songs that you brought

00:01:00.929 --> 00:01:03.990
in your bank of tunes for this evening from both

00:01:03.990 --> 00:01:08.290
a punk rock and workout perspective? So with

00:01:08.290 --> 00:01:11.870
me working out, I play hockey. I like real, real

00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:15.230
heavy, fast, drawn out music, but I don't like

00:01:15.230 --> 00:01:17.409
it to be too long, you know, two and a half,

00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:19.769
three minutes. So punk rock is perfect for that.

00:01:20.269 --> 00:01:23.469
Also, you know, I was on the Tony Hawk episode

00:01:23.469 --> 00:01:26.170
and a lot of that music was punk based and it's

00:01:26.170 --> 00:01:29.400
what I've listened to since I was a kid. So I

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.180
have a mix of songs that are near and dear to

00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:34.700
me that I grew up listening to that got me into

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:37.500
this genre. And then I have songs that I have

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:39.680
on my playlist when I'm in the locker room for

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.840
hockey. So there's a mix of both. It's a good,

00:01:42.939 --> 00:01:45.120
good mix of that I brought to the table tonight.

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.819
And with mine in a similar fashion. A lot of

00:01:48.819 --> 00:01:50.700
these songs are what I listen to now when I'm

00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:53.659
doing cardio or doing my weight workouts. But

00:01:53.659 --> 00:01:57.159
a lot of these songs were also the tunes I listened

00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.620
to when I was getting ready to head out onto

00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:02.780
the football field in high school and in college.

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.620
So some of these play a dual role with the newer

00:02:05.620 --> 00:02:08.539
tunes in my fold being stuff that I've listened

00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:11.949
to. more often during the cardio portion of my

00:02:11.949 --> 00:02:15.210
workouts now. I like that fast, upbeat stuff,

00:02:15.389 --> 00:02:17.550
the stuff that you're trying to keep your feet

00:02:17.550 --> 00:02:20.310
going to the beat, trying to keep those BPMs

00:02:20.310 --> 00:02:22.830
up to keep your heart rate going. So I think

00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:26.909
punk rock is the perfect avenue for a good cardio

00:02:26.909 --> 00:02:29.009
workout, and I hope I'm able to represent that

00:02:29.009 --> 00:02:31.990
tonight. And I know, judging by the songs you

00:02:31.990 --> 00:02:34.569
picked on that Tony Hawk episode, that you're

00:02:34.569 --> 00:02:37.379
going to be bringing the heat as well. I definitely

00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:39.400
have a few here that I think are going to surprise

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.759
some people and they're going to go, really?

00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:44.340
You didn't pick this or you pick that instead.

00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.300
I know I'm going to make a few enemies with this,

00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:49.680
but I have some good stuff that hopefully people

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.360
are going to go. Yeah, that's a pretty kick ass

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.159
song. And I'm hoping I can make the same convincing

00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.800
arguments for the songs I picked as well. So

00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.120
with that, let's get down to business. As I mentioned

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.770
at the top of the show. Tom and I will be curating

00:03:03.770 --> 00:03:06.750
the ultimate punk rock workout mixtape, and we'll

00:03:06.750 --> 00:03:09.650
use the old cassette deck approach. Tom, as my

00:03:09.650 --> 00:03:11.729
special guest, will begin with his first song

00:03:11.729 --> 00:03:14.250
choice, and then I'll add a song that I feel

00:03:14.250 --> 00:03:17.110
best follows up that choice. We'll then flip

00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:19.689
-flop choosing songs until we've mapped out 10

00:03:19.689 --> 00:03:22.879
songs for side A. We'll then give our mixtape

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.719
a proverbial flip and we'll map outside. Be only

00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.199
this time. I'll kick things off with Tom choosing

00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.300
second. Our overall goal for the episode is to

00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:34.580
craft the best punk rock workout mixtape possible

00:03:34.580 --> 00:03:38.099
through only 20 songs. At the end of the show,

00:03:38.139 --> 00:03:40.300
you could take our conversation to the next level

chimed in with songs they would use to kick things

00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:23.319
off tonight. And I want to give a shout out to

00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.480
a few of those. Sean Goff chimed in with Against

00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.279
Me's Transgender Dysphoria Blues, saying not

00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.860
only is it a kick -ass song with some real attitude,

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:37.319
but that Laura Jane Grace is awesome. Chad LaMassa

00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.759
chimed in with The Subway's Rock and Roll Queen,

00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.319
saying he feels this band is criminally underrated.

00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.860
Chris Pazica chimed in with Rancid's Roots Radicals.

00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:50.920
And Philip Bergman chimed in with The Clash's

00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.259
Train in Vain Stand By Me. Once again, if you'd

00:05:05.899 --> 00:05:08.339
with that said, I'm officially pressing the record

00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:11.240
button on our mixtape and the floor is yours.

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.660
What song are you kicking off our punk rock workout

00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:19.839
mixtape with? Well, first off, the mixtapers

00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.920
got it going on tonight. They had a couple of

00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.240
good suggestions. Against Me is a really good

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.920
one to start. And I love The Clash and Train

00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:30.939
to Bane is my favorite Clash song. So good picks

00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:33.810
on that one. But I'm going to go off the beaten

00:05:33.810 --> 00:05:36.389
path. You know, I'm going to kick it off big

00:05:36.389 --> 00:05:39.550
with the song that is big to me. And it gets

00:05:39.550 --> 00:05:41.850
me going something that's in my workout mix.

00:05:42.449 --> 00:05:45.110
And it comes from a band called the Smut Peddlers.

00:05:45.230 --> 00:05:49.750
And it's buck naked on a big wheel. Now, now

00:05:49.750 --> 00:05:52.589
this song, I remember it being in a motocross

00:05:52.589 --> 00:05:54.610
video as a kid. I want to say it's terra firma.

00:05:54.910 --> 00:05:57.269
And I remember hearing it for the first time

00:05:57.269 --> 00:06:00.350
and being like. That is a funny song. I laughed

00:06:00.350 --> 00:06:03.850
about it, but it got me in a headspace that I

00:06:03.850 --> 00:06:06.290
was like, this is awesome. And it slowly started

00:06:06.290 --> 00:06:08.649
turning gears for seven -year -old me to get

00:06:08.649 --> 00:06:11.730
into more and more punk rock music. And to this

00:06:11.730 --> 00:06:13.870
day, Smut Peddlers is one of my favorite bands.

00:06:13.990 --> 00:06:16.410
They put on a wonderful live show, I was going

00:06:16.410 --> 00:06:18.790
to say, and I think that's a great kickoff. It's

00:06:18.790 --> 00:06:22.029
fast, it's hard, and it's just an easy song to

00:06:22.029 --> 00:06:28.370
enjoy. Loud, obnoxious. Perfect. From 1995's

00:06:28.370 --> 00:06:33.009
Failure, Down a Huge Hill, 100 Feet to Go, Lift

00:06:33.009 --> 00:06:38.829
Your Feet, or Lose a Toe. I mean, you can't get

00:06:38.829 --> 00:06:41.470
better than this. Now, however, while this is

00:06:41.470 --> 00:06:45.810
perfect for a punk rock song, it might not be

00:06:45.810 --> 00:06:49.370
the best workout routine suggestion. But to those

00:06:49.370 --> 00:06:54.370
that are listening, I mean, you do you. And if

00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:56.769
the name of this band sounds familiar, but you're

00:06:56.769 --> 00:07:00.149
not sure why, their music is kind of intertwined

00:07:00.149 --> 00:07:03.370
with Jackass as well, because their song Let's

00:07:03.370 --> 00:07:06.430
Get F'd Up is featured on the Jackass 1 soundtrack.

00:07:06.889 --> 00:07:10.129
And I think it's If You're Gonna Be Dumb is featured

00:07:10.129 --> 00:07:13.790
on the Jackass 2 soundtrack. And they also have

00:07:13.790 --> 00:07:17.680
a bunch of songs on The Game. soundtrack, as

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:22.060
well as episodes on the MTV show. So these might

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:25.160
be, if you go down the smut peddlers rabbit hole,

00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:29.600
these might be songs that you know, but you don't

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.300
know, you know, especially if you watch jackass.

00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:34.740
A hundred percent. And I was going to say they're

00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:37.459
actually first two albums. They re -released

00:07:37.459 --> 00:07:41.920
as like a compilation and jackass pulled, I think.

00:07:42.220 --> 00:07:44.680
out of the like 30 plus songs, like seven or

00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.720
eight songs from it. So if you've seen the movies,

00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.180
the TV shows, even Viva La Bam, anything that

00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:54.000
has to do with the Jackass crew, you've heard

00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.860
the Smut Peddlers. You just probably don't know

00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:59.100
it. Well, following that up, I'm going to stick

00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:02.399
with this kind of raw vibe we got going here.

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.300
And I'm going to go all the way back to 1982

00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:08.720
with my first pick of the night. And I'm going

00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.439
to go off of. an album cover art that I drew

00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:18.019
on so many of my paper bag book covers because

00:08:18.019 --> 00:08:20.579
kids back when I was at high school, you had

00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:23.660
to wrap your textbooks with inside out paper

00:08:23.660 --> 00:08:26.879
bags and tape. And I can't tell you how many

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.620
of my textbooks in high school and in college

00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:34.480
had Milo from the descendants. Milo goes to college

00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:38.059
album on my textbooks because well, one, it's

00:08:38.059 --> 00:08:41.929
pretty easy to draw. But from that album, the

00:08:41.929 --> 00:08:46.950
Descendants love to use the suffix age in their

00:08:46.950 --> 00:08:49.970
songs and in their titles. For example, Tony

00:08:49.970 --> 00:08:54.289
-age, my -age, and their live album Live -age

00:08:54.289 --> 00:08:57.610
are three examples. However, I'm not going with

00:08:57.610 --> 00:09:00.230
any of those. I am going to go with the song

00:09:00.230 --> 00:09:05.230
Bike -age, which is a tune about a drug -addicted

00:09:05.230 --> 00:09:08.190
prostitute. Real happy, upbeat music we got going

00:09:08.190 --> 00:09:11.149
here. With the bike reference meaning, and I'm

00:09:11.149 --> 00:09:14.350
going to channel Austin Powers here. She's the

00:09:14.350 --> 00:09:18.149
village bicycle. Everybody's had a ride. At this

00:09:18.149 --> 00:09:21.110
time in their career, Descendants were aggressive,

00:09:21.509 --> 00:09:25.149
raw, and they, just like the Smut Peddlers, wore

00:09:25.149 --> 00:09:27.389
their sense of humor on their sleeves. Because

00:09:27.389 --> 00:09:29.970
you think about songs like Wienerschnitzel, which

00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:32.169
if you're a movie person, you might remember

00:09:32.169 --> 00:09:35.870
from the Pump Up the Volume film. Not on the

00:09:35.870 --> 00:09:40.149
soundtrack, but in the film. I Like Food, which

00:09:40.149 --> 00:09:43.149
Taking Back Sunday covered on the Tony Hawk American

00:09:43.149 --> 00:09:46.870
Wasteland soundtrack. And if you recall, Tom

00:09:46.870 --> 00:09:50.870
and I talked about that one on episode 65, the

00:09:50.870 --> 00:09:53.529
Ultimate Tony Hawk Pro Skater Soundtracks playlist.

00:09:54.169 --> 00:09:57.629
This, however, Bikage is my favorite Descendants

00:09:57.629 --> 00:10:01.029
song. And then you add the fact, depending on

00:10:01.029 --> 00:10:03.669
what you started with. I could have went in two

00:10:03.669 --> 00:10:06.070
directions here. I went with the raw Descendants

00:10:06.070 --> 00:10:08.909
version, but I could have very easily just went

00:10:08.909 --> 00:10:11.970
one year behind you and pulled Face to Face's

00:10:11.970 --> 00:10:15.850
cover from their 1994 album, Big Choice. You

00:10:15.850 --> 00:10:19.049
can't go wrong with either version, but I think

00:10:19.049 --> 00:10:21.149
I'm going to stick with the original here because

00:10:21.149 --> 00:10:23.789
it works really well being back to back with

00:10:23.789 --> 00:10:26.769
Smut Peddlers. Not to mention, you've got big

00:10:26.769 --> 00:10:30.379
wheels and now you've got bikes. I mean, it's

00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:32.600
a match made in heaven, and I'm so happy you

00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.820
brought up the face -to -face version because

00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:39.279
I love face -to -face. Great band. It's one of

00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.940
those bands that doesn't get enough love, so

00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:44.419
I'm glad you brought it up. But Descendants were

00:10:44.419 --> 00:10:48.340
just so raw at this time, and it was such a different

00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:52.120
point of view. And they changed a lot over the

00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.379
years, but it's still just so beautiful of what

00:10:55.379 --> 00:10:58.360
they were doing at the time. I am also going

00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.179
to go with a very, very raw band. We're going

00:11:01.179 --> 00:11:05.200
to stay in the 80s here, but I'm going to kind

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.659
of make a little bit of a turn. So I'm going

00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:11.039
to go with a Dead Kennedy song that was performed

00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.179
once at the Bay Area Music Awards as kind of

00:11:15.179 --> 00:11:18.779
a middle finger to everybody in the crowd. And

00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:22.139
that is Pull My Strings. This is my favorite

00:11:22.139 --> 00:11:25.320
Dead Kennedy song because Jello just stopped

00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.899
caring about what everybody says and even opens

00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:31.200
it up with, we're not a punk rock band, we're

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.120
a new wave band as the big F you to everybody

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.360
that brought them to this award show. And it's

00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:42.080
a fun song. It's not safe for work, but it has

00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:46.000
a good beat. It gets fast, it gets slow. you

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.840
know, if you're lifting weights, this is a song

00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.580
I lift weights to, you know, this is just one

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:53.759
of those songs. And I think it fits well behind

00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.620
the descendants and really takes this mixtape

00:11:56.620 --> 00:12:00.580
to the next level. That it does from 1987. Give

00:12:00.580 --> 00:12:03.159
me convenience or give me death compilation.

00:12:03.740 --> 00:12:06.759
The only album you can find it on a live recording

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:11.720
from March 25th, 1980. Hold it. We got to prove

00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:17.879
we're adults now. I love this song and Tom is

00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:22.379
very, very right. It is not safe for work. You've

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:26.299
heard our warnings. If you listen to it at work

00:12:26.299 --> 00:12:29.600
and get in trouble, Tom and I are not responsible.

00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:34.379
And this also two out of three now bands we talked

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:37.440
about on the Tony Hawk soundtracks episode, but

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.929
I'm not going to say if. this dead Kennedy song

00:12:39.929 --> 00:12:43.129
made the mix or not, but we definitely talked

00:12:43.129 --> 00:12:46.490
at Kennedy's on the Tony Hawk episode. A hundred

00:12:46.490 --> 00:12:48.269
percent. We did. I was going to say, and that

00:12:48.269 --> 00:12:51.169
was police truck we used on that. So another

00:12:51.169 --> 00:12:53.909
one of my personal favorites, not to spoil it

00:12:53.909 --> 00:12:56.649
for everybody, but, but you're spoiling it. Why

00:12:56.649 --> 00:12:59.049
not? It's just one song. We don't know where

00:12:59.049 --> 00:13:00.870
it's at. They'll have to listen to the episode

00:13:00.870 --> 00:13:05.370
and figure it out. Well, going on from the dead

00:13:05.370 --> 00:13:10.299
Kennedy's, I have, Four songs from this band

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:13.460
in my bank right now. And I'm trying to decide

00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:17.120
which one I want to pull from. Because my favorite

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:21.700
album from this band is 1994 Stranger Than Fiction.

00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:25.379
Yes, I'm talking bad religion here. But you could

00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:29.620
conceivably go with a walk off The Gray Race

00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:34.299
or Punk Rock Song or Incomplete off of Stranger

00:13:34.299 --> 00:13:37.789
Than Fiction or the re -recorded 21st century

00:13:37.789 --> 00:13:40.970
digital boy. But I think I'm going to go back

00:13:40.970 --> 00:13:44.769
one year from Stranger Than Fiction and go off

00:13:44.769 --> 00:13:49.610
of 1993's Recipe for Hate. This was Bad Religion's

00:13:49.610 --> 00:13:52.309
first charting album in the U .S. It hit number

00:13:52.309 --> 00:13:56.029
14 on Billboard's Heat Seekers chart, and it

00:13:56.029 --> 00:13:58.909
also hit the charts in Germany, reaching number

00:13:58.909 --> 00:14:02.529
34, and Finland, where it reached number 29.

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:06.960
I could go with the two singles from the album,

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.500
American Jesus or Struck a Nerve, even though

00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:12.899
neither of them charted. They were all over MTV.

00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.620
But when it comes to workout songs, I don't think

00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:18.720
you can get any more intense than the title track,

00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.000
Recipe for Hate. And following up the Dead Kennedys,

00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.139
I think that's where we got to go from here.

00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.840
Bad Religion, Recipe for Hate. I was going to

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:29.000
say that's kind of the kick in the leg, you know,

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.299
kick in the butt you need to get rolling. I was

00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:33.519
going to say it's a good follow up and it works

00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.500
well with the Dead Kennedys. And I love Bad Religion.

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:38.720
I was going to say American Jesus is my personal

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.860
favorite. But good choice here, Brian. I really,

00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.039
really think that's going to work really well.

00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.480
It's going to make you work up a sweat because

00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.340
if you try running to the BPM of that song, you're

00:14:50.340 --> 00:14:52.480
getting the workout going. You can't cool down

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:55.889
to this song. Not at all. And that's kind of

00:14:55.889 --> 00:14:59.870
where I'm going with my next one. So this is

00:14:59.870 --> 00:15:05.090
going to be tough because I feel. I mean, there's

00:15:05.090 --> 00:15:07.490
a follow up and I can go two ways with this.

00:15:07.950 --> 00:15:10.490
Both are Tim Armstrong projects, so you can't

00:15:10.490 --> 00:15:15.269
be mad about it. You know what? I'm going to

00:15:15.269 --> 00:15:17.330
pick transplants here and this might make some

00:15:17.330 --> 00:15:20.600
people a little sad, but. I'm going to go talk

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.820
hands in the air. This is just a song that I

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:28.100
ride when I go to the gym. This is a song that

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:31.580
I get on the bike to, and it just gets me a little

00:15:31.580 --> 00:15:34.399
angry. And I hate to ride the bike. I hate to

00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:38.039
run, but it gets me moving. And, you know, there's

00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.639
a lot of fun parts that are also not safe to

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.659
work to sing in this song. So that's another

00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:46.049
thing that gets me going. From their self -titled

00:15:46.049 --> 00:15:50.570
2002 album, we got Distillers, AFI, LFB, and

00:15:50.570 --> 00:15:53.870
Crystal Sound. Transplants are fearless and the

00:15:53.870 --> 00:15:57.529
most original. Yes, original, because it rhymes

00:15:57.529 --> 00:16:01.029
with sound. Talk hands in the air, let me see

00:16:01.029 --> 00:16:05.950
them, blank, blank. The album hit number 96 on

00:16:05.950 --> 00:16:09.490
the Billboard 200. And talk hands in the air

00:16:09.490 --> 00:16:13.139
is actually the B -side. to their single Diamonds

00:16:13.139 --> 00:16:16.539
and Guns. If you ask me, it's the better of the

00:16:16.539 --> 00:16:18.720
two, as much as I love Diamonds and Guns, so

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.740
bravo on the pick. Blink -182's Travis Barker

00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:26.600
lays down a ridiculous beat in this one, and

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.120
then you add Rancid's Tim Armstrong and Rob Astin

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.200
to the fold. You get one of the most unique and

00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.480
original punk albums, maybe of the decade. Oh,

00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:40.000
for sure. I was going to say that. I would say...

00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.580
even possibly all time. I was going to say, to

00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:46.279
me, I love Rancid, don't get me wrong, but this

00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:49.200
Transplants album, for me, is better than Operation

00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.860
Ivy. This is the album. This is something that

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:56.019
I absolutely could listen to over and over again

00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:58.399
and never get sick of. And like you said, Travis

00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.059
Barker's drum beat is what is just so infectious

00:17:01.059 --> 00:17:05.319
about this song. Following that up, you see,

00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:08.210
that kind of gives me a clean slate here. Because

00:17:08.210 --> 00:17:10.789
there's a little bit of everything in the Transplants

00:17:10.789 --> 00:17:13.890
sound. But I think what I'm going to do is stay

00:17:13.890 --> 00:17:18.690
in 2002. Because when I discovered the Transplants

00:17:18.690 --> 00:17:22.670
album, I also discovered this other band around

00:17:22.670 --> 00:17:26.190
the same time. And I was listening to both albums

00:17:26.190 --> 00:17:29.309
back and forth and back and forth. And I honestly

00:17:29.309 --> 00:17:31.509
can't decide between the two which ones I like

00:17:31.509 --> 00:17:34.410
more. But this band's a little bit more straight

00:17:34.410 --> 00:17:38.640
ahead punk rock. With Chris Waller, Chuck Reagan,

00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:42.160
George Rebello, and Jason Black featuring additional

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.759
guitars from Brian Baker of the before -mentioned

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.440
Bad Religion, I am going to go with Hot Water

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:54.059
Music and their 2002 album, Caution. Now, Tom.

00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.940
Being the Tony Hawk fan you are, you might know

00:17:57.940 --> 00:18:01.420
the opening track Remedy from Tony Hawk's Underground,

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:04.759
but I'm actually going to go with the Chris Waller

00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:09.740
penned Trusty Chords. Quite possibly my favorite

00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:13.059
hot water music song and maybe one of my favorite

00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:17.740
punk rock songs ever. This band is so incredibly

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:21.529
consistent. They're still going strong to this

00:18:21.529 --> 00:18:25.990
day. Their latest album, 2024's Vows, easily

00:18:25.990 --> 00:18:30.470
makes my albums of the year list for 2024. But

00:18:30.470 --> 00:18:33.490
Trusty Chords, oh my God, there's just such a

00:18:33.490 --> 00:18:36.910
drive and such an intensity to it. And you just

00:18:36.910 --> 00:18:40.170
want to sing along with it. And it just keeps

00:18:40.170 --> 00:18:43.549
that exact vibe going out of the transplants

00:18:43.549 --> 00:18:47.470
into this song. And I feel like the energy is

00:18:47.470 --> 00:18:50.789
just still hitting 10, 10, 10, 10 with every

00:18:50.789 --> 00:18:53.470
song we've picked so far. So following up the

00:18:53.470 --> 00:18:56.529
transplants, trusty chords from hot water music.

00:18:56.990 --> 00:19:00.329
It's a song I completely forgot about until you

00:19:00.329 --> 00:19:03.029
just brought it up. It's been a long time since

00:19:03.029 --> 00:19:06.230
I've heard that. And that is a great song that

00:19:06.230 --> 00:19:10.390
actually fits really well after transplant. So

00:19:10.390 --> 00:19:14.950
that's going to give me a curve ball here. I

00:19:14.950 --> 00:19:17.769
mean, Gaslight Anthems has done it live. A lot

00:19:17.769 --> 00:19:20.410
of bands have covered it. To me, it gives you

00:19:20.410 --> 00:19:23.869
that little bit of inspiration, I guess you would

00:19:23.869 --> 00:19:27.130
say. Because to me, Hot Water Music is a very

00:19:27.130 --> 00:19:30.490
inspirational punk band of the modern era, let's

00:19:30.490 --> 00:19:33.789
say. 100%. And I think that's going to really

00:19:33.789 --> 00:19:37.049
throw my next pick. Another band that tries to

00:19:37.049 --> 00:19:39.990
do the same thing. And that's Rise Against, one

00:19:39.990 --> 00:19:43.650
of my personal favorites. And I'm actually going

00:19:43.650 --> 00:19:47.470
to go with their 2004 single, Give It All. Now,

00:19:47.569 --> 00:19:51.690
this song matches the energy. I mean, it's up

00:19:51.690 --> 00:19:54.970
there. It's very, very fast paced. It has a good

00:19:54.970 --> 00:19:58.250
message. You know, just one of my personal favorite

00:19:58.250 --> 00:20:01.009
songs. And I had it between that and Prayer of

00:20:01.009 --> 00:20:03.170
the Refugee and Give It All fits a lot better

00:20:03.170 --> 00:20:05.730
with trusty chords. And it's going to come out

00:20:05.730 --> 00:20:07.730
not only with a good message, but you're going

00:20:07.730 --> 00:20:09.609
to feel good. You're starting to kind of wind

00:20:09.609 --> 00:20:12.059
down your workout. You might not be pushing as

00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:15.539
hard, but you want to give it all. From 2004's

00:20:15.539 --> 00:20:18.119
Rock Against Bush compilation with a different

00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:21.900
version appearing on the same year's Siren Song

00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:25.400
of the Counterculture, this was Rise Against's

00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.019
breakthrough single. It actually reached number

00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:31.259
37 on the Billboard U .S. Alternative Songs chart.

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.799
And without this song making the impact it did,

00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:37.000
I don't think you get 2006's The Sufferer and

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.299
The Witness, which is where I had pulled a couple

00:20:40.299 --> 00:20:43.200
of songs from being injection and ready to fall.

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:46.460
I had those in my bank, but I think you went

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:49.819
with a perfect song going with give it all. And

00:20:49.819 --> 00:20:53.039
I'm going to I'm feeling this 2000s punk vibe

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:55.259
we got going here. So I'm going to stay in this

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:59.720
vibe and I'm going to stay in 2006 because along

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:02.700
with the sufferer and the witness from Rise Against,

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.460
I also had a New Jersey band represented from

00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:10.500
the same year. And I am going to go with. Another

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:13.660
group you and I talked about on episode 65, the

00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:16.640
Tony Hawk Soundtracks episode, and I also talked

00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:20.119
about on episode 10, the ultimate 2000s punk

00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.339
rock playlist, and that is the Bouncing Souls.

00:21:24.059 --> 00:21:26.700
Now, I'm going to go with a different song than

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:29.140
I talked about on those other episodes, and I'm

00:21:29.140 --> 00:21:30.940
not going to spoil what that song is. I'm going

00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:34.240
to leave it floating. in the punk rock atmosphere.

00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:36.720
So if you want to go back and find out if you're

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.099
a Bouncing Souls fan, you'll have to do that.

00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:42.920
But I'm going to go with the quasi -title from

00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:46.640
their 2006 album, The Gold Record, and I'm going

00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.720
to go with The Gold Song. You're going to hear

00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:53.119
that bottle jingling on the ground before the

00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.079
song kicks in. The album was actually released,

00:21:56.180 --> 00:22:01.140
I'll never forget this, on June 6th, 2006, which

00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:05.259
was six... six, six, which the band referred

00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:09.619
to this album as the release of the beast, little

00:22:09.619 --> 00:22:13.579
nod to iron maiden there. This song, if you think

00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:15.480
we were calming down a little bit during, give

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.559
it all, this is going to get you going back up

00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.039
to full throttle. This is. kind of the interval

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:24.440
workout we're doing here and we're going to kick

00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:26.900
it up to 10 and you're going to be chanting the

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:29.819
haze along with the band and getting that heart

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:32.519
rate up because this song just every time it

00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:35.700
comes on, even if I'm tired, it gets my adrenaline

00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:38.039
going. It gets me excited. It makes me happy.

00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:41.160
It makes me want to work out more. It definitely

00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.500
kicks the adrenaline up a notch for me. So bouncing

00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:48.150
souls, the gold song, which Perfect, perfect

00:22:48.150 --> 00:22:50.769
pick for it. And I love the Bouncing Souls. I

00:22:50.769 --> 00:22:52.849
was going to say Comet is one of my favorite

00:22:52.849 --> 00:22:56.450
songs altogether. It's just such a great song.

00:22:56.549 --> 00:22:58.470
And the ending guitar riff in Comet is fantastic.

00:22:58.609 --> 00:23:01.730
But the gold song, a great, great, great song.

00:23:02.210 --> 00:23:06.289
But we want to keep rolling. And what better

00:23:06.289 --> 00:23:10.789
than do this with Blink -182? But I'm going to

00:23:10.789 --> 00:23:14.490
go old Blink -182 talking Dude Ranch. So before

00:23:14.490 --> 00:23:17.930
Travis Barker. When Scott was still in the band

00:23:17.930 --> 00:23:21.210
and I'm not going to go with Damn It. That's

00:23:21.210 --> 00:23:23.690
not what I want to do. Everybody loves that song.

00:23:24.069 --> 00:23:27.769
I am going to go with Josie. Josie to me is just

00:23:27.769 --> 00:23:31.309
a punk rock song through and through fast paced.

00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:35.069
Let's go. Here's the lyrics. And the music video

00:23:35.069 --> 00:23:37.769
always cracks me up. I was going to say Mark's

00:23:37.769 --> 00:23:40.329
got purple hair and I believe Tom has orange

00:23:40.329 --> 00:23:42.849
or red hair in the music video. I mean, it's

00:23:42.849 --> 00:23:46.099
straight. 90s punk before they really, really

00:23:46.099 --> 00:23:49.079
made it big in who they were. And it's probably

00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.759
my favorite Blink -182 song to this day. This

00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.180
was the last single that featured Scott Rayner

00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:59.420
for Blink -182. I got to admit, Travis Barker

00:23:59.420 --> 00:24:01.920
holds it down when he plays it live, but this

00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:04.519
is a classic Blink song. It actually reached

00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:07.240
number 50 on the US Alternative Radio and Records

00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.319
chart and number 31 on the Australia ARIA chart.

00:24:12.109 --> 00:24:15.869
So this one actually helped pave the way for

00:24:15.869 --> 00:24:18.970
Enema of the State. And I don't think, just like

00:24:18.970 --> 00:24:21.569
I mentioned with Rise Against, I don't think

00:24:21.569 --> 00:24:25.589
you get to Enema of the State if Dammit and Josie

00:24:25.589 --> 00:24:29.150
don't hit. Because Cheshire Cat in 95 didn't

00:24:29.150 --> 00:24:32.230
make much of a dent. This was kind of the start

00:24:32.230 --> 00:24:35.849
of what would become Blink -182's kind of legacy,

00:24:36.069 --> 00:24:39.710
at least in terms of mainstream success. A hundred

00:24:39.710 --> 00:24:42.359
percent. I mean, They had Eminem's off the first

00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:45.500
album and it wasn't a huge hit. But if you watch

00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:47.940
the music video, I believe Alyssa Milano is also

00:24:47.940 --> 00:24:50.619
in the Josie music video, too, which was a huge

00:24:50.619 --> 00:24:53.900
name at the time in the mid to late 90s, which

00:24:53.900 --> 00:24:57.259
kind of brought them mainstream popularity. They

00:24:57.259 --> 00:25:00.539
were getting on MTV and they were 120 minutes

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:04.099
back in the day they would be on. So that's exactly

00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:07.119
what helped them. And I think kind of robbing

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:09.420
Travis from the Aquabats also kind of helped.

00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:11.519
I mean, he's still in the band. How many years

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.920
later? So that worked out for the best. You know,

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.940
Scott left and they robbed Travis. So I was going

00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:21.799
to say bravo on the way to include Travis with

00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:24.079
the transplants, but not with your blink pic.

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:27.779
Very ingenious way of playlisting there, my friend.

00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:31.440
Very much so. I've learned from the best. Well,

00:25:31.539 --> 00:25:33.960
you went with Blink -182. So I think the only

00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:36.740
logical follow -up is going to be, I'm going

00:25:36.740 --> 00:25:41.099
to go back to my Pop Sucks tour of 2002. You

00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:44.299
went Blink. I'm going to go with Green Day. Although

00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:47.940
you went with an album where Blink was going

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:50.980
into the mainstream, I'm going to go with the

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:53.460
album where Green Day said F the mainstream.

00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.259
And believe it or not, is my favorite Green Day

00:25:57.259 --> 00:26:01.680
album. I'm going to go off of 1995's Insomniac

00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:04.500
and I'm not even going to go with Brain Stew

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:07.079
or Geek Stink Breath or Walking Contradiction.

00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:10.319
I'm going to go with a deep cut from this album.

00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:15.480
So their most raw, not pop friendly album and

00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.819
one of the deepest cuts from it, Babs' Uvula

00:26:18.819 --> 00:26:22.599
Who, which is a reference to an old Saturday

00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.589
Night Live skit. It's one of my favorite Green

00:26:26.589 --> 00:26:29.130
Day songs of all time. Definitely falls into

00:26:29.130 --> 00:26:32.170
the underrated category because according to

00:26:32.170 --> 00:26:35.710
the Green Day Live Guide, it's only been played

00:26:35.710 --> 00:26:41.190
once, November 3rd, 1995 at the Worcester Memorial

00:26:41.190 --> 00:26:44.789
Auditorium in Worcester, Massachusetts. Those

00:26:44.789 --> 00:26:47.130
guys got lucky because this is one of my all

00:26:47.130 --> 00:26:50.170
-time favorite Green Day songs. And this year

00:26:50.170 --> 00:26:55.269
in 2024, they did the... dookie american idiot

00:26:55.269 --> 00:26:59.289
in its entirety i have my fingers crossed that

00:26:59.289 --> 00:27:03.349
1995 sees insomniac in its entirety because i

00:27:03.349 --> 00:27:07.170
think a lot of people don't realize the brilliance

00:27:07.170 --> 00:27:13.609
of this raw unfiltered against pop punk release

00:27:13.609 --> 00:27:16.349
from green day it's definitely their angriest

00:27:16.349 --> 00:27:19.509
album of all time and i think a fun way to close

00:27:19.509 --> 00:27:22.539
out side a Oh, yeah. I mean, it's definitely

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:25.539
one of their most underrated albums. I was going

00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:28.200
to say that Nimrod, everybody just kind of pushes

00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:30.740
to the side and says, oh, well, you know, it's

00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:32.779
not American Idiot. It's not Dookie. Why are

00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:37.279
we listening to it? It has some very, very raw,

00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.400
like California punk sound that people don't

00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.880
hear from Green Day often. And I'm not a Green

00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:45.660
Day fan. I mean, I appreciate them. They're great

00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:47.720
for the music, but I've never been into them.

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.009
But that album. Sounds like an old black flag

00:27:52.009 --> 00:27:55.690
or an adolescence album from 10 years prior coming

00:27:55.690 --> 00:27:58.910
out of the Bay Area or California punk scene.

00:27:59.049 --> 00:28:02.190
I mean, it's got that feel to it. And if you

00:28:02.190 --> 00:28:06.230
are a fan of 80s California punk, that is the

00:28:06.230 --> 00:28:09.609
Green Day album. I would push at you 100%. It

00:28:09.609 --> 00:28:12.390
is the Green Day album. I push at anybody who

00:28:12.390 --> 00:28:16.039
says, where should I start with Green Day? A

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:18.059
lot of people look at me like I have 10 heads

00:28:18.059 --> 00:28:20.500
because they go, why not American Idiot and Dookie?

00:28:20.599 --> 00:28:22.900
I said, well, that's those are the obvious picks.

00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:25.700
If I'm going to push something forward, I want

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:27.640
to push one that might be less than obvious,

00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:31.559
because if you dig Insomniac, you might become

00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:35.160
a bigger Green Day fan outside of Dookie and

00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.119
American Idiot. 100 percent. And I was going

00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:40.299
to say it goes the way with their later catalog,

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:44.400
too, when they did the Uno Dos Tres albums. And

00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:46.420
like the 21 Guns album, stuff like that, that

00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:48.859
was somewhat mainstream, but didn't really take

00:28:48.859 --> 00:28:52.480
off like American Idiot or Duty. And that, mixtapers,

00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.700
concludes side A of the ultimate punk rock workout

00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:58.819
mixtape, which consists of smut peddlers buck

00:28:58.819 --> 00:29:01.259
naked on a big wheel. Don't try this at home.

00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:04.720
Descendants, bikeage. Dead Kennedys, pull my

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.799
strings. Bad religions, recipe for hate. Transplants,

00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.220
tall cans in the air. Hot water musics, trusty

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:15.759
chords. Rise Against's Give It All, Bouncing

00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.980
Soul's The Gold Song, Blink -182's Josie, and

00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:24.279
Green Day's Babs' Uvula Who. Head over to myweeklymixtape

00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.759
.com to hear all the songs we've discussed in

00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.920
this mix through the playlist embedded on the

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.099
episode page. All right, and now we're going

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:36.279
to kick off Side B, and I think I'm going to

00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:40.359
do so in classic style here. I'm going to go

00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:42.619
with a song that I absolutely loved in middle

00:29:42.619 --> 00:29:46.640
school all the way up through right this very

00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:51.319
moment. It's this band's cover of a Johnny Cash

00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:54.559
classic, which is, in my humble opinion, one

00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:57.720
of the best cover songs ever from their 1990

00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:02.079
self -titled album and their 2007 greatest hits

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:05.000
album, that version being a rerecording. I am

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:07.279
going to go with Social Distortion's incredible

00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:12.349
cover. of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire, reached

00:30:12.349 --> 00:30:15.309
number 25 on the Billboard U .S. Alternative

00:30:15.309 --> 00:30:19.049
Airplay chart. And there's a chance, a small

00:30:19.049 --> 00:30:22.210
chance. We also discussed this song on episode

00:30:22.210 --> 00:30:26.250
26, the ultimate punk rock cover songs playlist,

00:30:26.329 --> 00:30:29.769
because like I said, one of the best cover songs

00:30:29.769 --> 00:30:35.210
ever. And it's punk, so yeah. But Social Distortion,

00:30:35.250 --> 00:30:38.519
man, this is one of those covers that... If you're

00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.539
going to cover Johnny Cash, you better do it

00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:44.740
right. And Mike Ness knocked this one out of

00:30:44.740 --> 00:30:48.720
the park where even fans of Johnny Cash respect

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:51.859
this version. And that's hard to do because Johnny

00:30:51.859 --> 00:30:55.759
Cash is an outlaw as much as the punk rock genre

00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:58.920
is in and of itself. And Social Distortion was

00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:02.200
able to put their stamp on this song and still

00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:05.700
respect the original. 100%. And Mike Ness is

00:31:05.700 --> 00:31:08.779
just such a genius. And when you think of lead

00:31:08.779 --> 00:31:11.759
singers and punk music, he's one of the first

00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.819
ones that come to mind. But I'm going to do something

00:31:14.819 --> 00:31:17.299
with my next pick. You know, punk rock's all

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:20.460
about symbols. You know, bands that have symbols.

00:31:20.579 --> 00:31:23.400
Misfits has the ghost skull. Social Distortion

00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:26.880
has the skeleton. And the next band, Black Flag,

00:31:27.140 --> 00:31:29.640
has its own little logo of four little black

00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:33.089
bars. And I am going to go with my personal favorite

00:31:33.089 --> 00:31:37.789
Black Flag song of 1984, Slip It In, Drinking

00:31:37.789 --> 00:31:41.349
and Driving. This was used in Jackass when Henry

00:31:41.349 --> 00:31:43.789
Rollins drives around and Steve -O gets a tattoo.

00:31:44.369 --> 00:31:48.349
It is fast -paced. It makes you angry. And it

00:31:48.349 --> 00:31:50.769
has a good message because it's not about drinking

00:31:50.769 --> 00:31:53.829
and driving. It's about not doing it, but how

00:31:53.829 --> 00:31:57.089
pretty much peer pressure will get you in a bad

00:31:57.089 --> 00:32:00.700
spot every time. It's a fun song. Rollins has

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:03.440
a great time singing it when he does it by himself,

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:07.000
when he was doing it with Black Flag. It is high

00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:11.000
energy and it brings that punk rock sound right

00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:13.380
out of Social Distortion. And I know how much

00:32:13.380 --> 00:32:16.940
you love cover songs. So it turns the tide a

00:32:16.940 --> 00:32:19.779
little bit and gets us back on the path. While

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:23.059
drinking, of course, apparently. Yes. I love

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:25.839
this song. I immediately thought of the jackass

00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:27.759
scene as soon as you said the title of the track.

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.420
So I'm glad you mentioned that. And like you

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:32.279
said, I want to hit on a point you made. It's

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:35.420
interesting, the delivery of this song. And only

00:32:35.420 --> 00:32:38.619
Henry Rollins can do it this way. Because lyrically,

00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.339
it almost sounds like a let's get drunk and wasted

00:32:41.339 --> 00:32:46.980
punk rock song. But it's not that. And it's not

00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:51.500
a straight edge don't drink song. It's somewhere

00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:54.819
in the gray area that lives between the two.

00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:57.920
And I think that's the genius of Henry Rollins.

00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:02.160
100%. And if you do listen to that Slip It In

00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:04.839
album, there's many songs like that where you're

00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:07.660
just like, what are they telling me? Are they

00:33:07.660 --> 00:33:10.240
telling me one thing or another? And the title

00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.920
track from that album is a perfect example. It's

00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.559
a fun album no matter what, but Rollins' delivery

00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:21.339
is what makes that song so iconic and so... Well,

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.440
we've got two incredibly influential bands to

00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:28.720
start off side B, Social Distortion and Black

00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:30.900
Flag. So I think I'm going to keep running with

00:33:30.900 --> 00:33:33.900
that and go with another extremely influential

00:33:33.900 --> 00:33:38.339
band and song. Now, this song was never released

00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:41.819
as a single, but it remains this band's probably

00:33:41.819 --> 00:33:45.240
most beloved and well -known quote unquote hit.

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:48.220
And it was covered by everybody from the Red

00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:52.259
Hot Chili Peppers. to Ryan Adams, the Dead Milkmen,

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:55.519
Mustard Plug, and a band you mentioned earlier,

00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.220
Rancid. This song was inspired by Ian McKay's

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:04.099
short -lived project, Embrace, and not wanting

00:34:04.099 --> 00:34:08.079
the same thing to happen with Fugazi, he wrote

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:11.920
the song Waiting Room about finding the right

00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:16.280
people at the right moment. And this song, the

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:20.969
opening, is so intense between this baseline

00:34:20.969 --> 00:34:24.829
that doesn't know if it wants to be a funk baseline

00:34:24.829 --> 00:34:28.570
or a punk baseline. But it's one of those baselines

00:34:28.570 --> 00:34:30.789
that as soon as you hear it, you're immediately

00:34:30.789 --> 00:34:34.369
sucked in. And for 20 seconds, the song just

00:34:34.369 --> 00:34:38.369
builds. And then at the 20 second mark, it pauses

00:34:38.369 --> 00:34:42.510
for four seconds of silence. And then after that

00:34:42.510 --> 00:34:45.210
uncomfortable moment, it brings you right back

00:34:45.210 --> 00:34:50.750
in. It's so powerful. It's been featured on Pitchfork's

00:34:50.750 --> 00:34:55.829
200 Best Songs of the 1980s, Blender's The 1001

The 100 Greatest Alternative Singles of the 1980s,

00:35:03.750 --> 00:35:11.030
and NME's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. I know

00:35:11.030 --> 00:35:14.369
it's the obvious on -the -nose pick for Fugazi,

00:35:14.550 --> 00:35:18.829
but I'm a bass player. What can I say? That bass

00:35:18.829 --> 00:35:21.750
line is punk rock royalty as far as I'm concerned.

00:35:22.429 --> 00:35:25.090
Oh, you hear the first two notes of that song

00:35:25.090 --> 00:35:28.250
and you instantly know what it is. And it got

00:35:28.250 --> 00:35:31.949
so bad with this song that my detailer, when

00:35:31.949 --> 00:35:33.710
I worked in the car dealership as a mechanic,

00:35:33.909 --> 00:35:37.170
he would play it every day and I knew how long

00:35:37.170 --> 00:35:39.849
the song was going to take. I would walk up and

00:35:39.849 --> 00:35:43.329
get coffee every morning because I got so tired

00:35:43.329 --> 00:35:48.500
of hearing that bass line. Oh, man. Hey, I love

00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:51.619
it now. But when you hear it every day for three

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:54.920
years, you're like, I am done. I don't care anymore.

00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.780
I don't care if I hear another Fugazi song ever.

00:35:58.300 --> 00:36:03.340
But going off incredible bass lines, guitar riffs,

00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.980
I am going to make a pick here that is probably

00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:09.159
going to get you some hate mail here, Brian.

00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:13.360
Oh, no. I don't know. This band is a pop punk

00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:18.559
metal -ish band. and to me, I would consider

00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:21.400
them pop punk, and the band is A Day to Remember.

00:36:21.780 --> 00:36:24.320
Okay. This comes off for those who have heart,

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:27.679
and it is the heavy guitar riff, The Plot to

00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:31.260
Bomb the Panhandle. Now, this is a song that

00:36:31.260 --> 00:36:34.420
I listen to every time I get ready for a hockey

00:36:34.420 --> 00:36:37.360
game, I work out, I'm just driving in the car,

00:36:37.420 --> 00:36:41.519
and I'm angry. The riff to it is so heavy, and

00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:45.059
it feels punk -ish. And it's just got a good

00:36:45.059 --> 00:36:49.079
rhythm and pushback to it where I feel like it

00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.079
fits really well off Fugazi with that bass riff.

00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:55.719
You can tell me I'm wrong, but I think it works

00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:59.320
really well. And it's just a fun, very heavy

00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:02.980
song from a band that has gone away from being

00:37:02.980 --> 00:37:05.800
as heavy as they used to be. Yeah. This album

00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:07.980
is definitely a different beast than some of

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:10.960
their newer stuff, but this album actually reached

00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:13.880
number 17 on the billboard top heat seekers chart.

00:37:14.059 --> 00:37:17.360
And then the re -release of it hit number 43

00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:20.480
on the billboard top independent albums chart.

00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.679
And that is due to the fact that they put out

00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:26.880
a cover of Kelly Clarkson's since you've been

00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:30.300
gone from that re -release. And you know what?

00:37:30.500 --> 00:37:32.559
I think I'm going to have a little fun with this.

00:37:32.619 --> 00:37:35.090
No, I'm not going to go with. There since you've

00:37:35.090 --> 00:37:38.230
been gone cover, although I love it. I'm going

00:37:38.230 --> 00:37:41.409
to go with another cover song for this side.

00:37:41.489 --> 00:37:44.349
Yes, I already did social distortions ring a

00:37:44.349 --> 00:37:46.590
fire, but I'm going to go with another punk band

00:37:46.590 --> 00:37:51.650
covering a female pop song, but I'm going to

00:37:51.650 --> 00:37:56.789
go back to their 2001 album go. And Jay sweet.

00:37:56.849 --> 00:37:59.670
And I talked about this song all the way back

00:37:59.670 --> 00:38:03.599
on episode 10. the ultimate 2000s punk rock playlist.

00:38:03.980 --> 00:38:06.960
And we are going to go with, is it punk? Is it

00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:09.340
hardcore? It's a little bit of both. The hidden

00:38:09.340 --> 00:38:14.480
track, H2O's Like a Prayer, the Madonna cover.

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:20.840
This cover is again, one of my absolute favorites

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:23.800
because I'm not going to lie. I know this is

00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:26.800
a punk rock episode. I actually love Madonna's

00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:29.960
original Like a Prayer. I always love the song.

00:38:30.019 --> 00:38:32.079
I love the video. I love everything about it.

00:38:32.179 --> 00:38:36.679
The song is catchy. The song is a pop anthem

00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.579
of the 90s. Taking it and turning it into a punk

00:38:40.579 --> 00:38:44.880
rock hardcore song on paper doesn't sound like

00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:48.760
it could work, but it works. so, so well. I'm

00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:51.980
shocked more bands have not taken this song and

00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:55.099
put their stamp on it. And I just love the fact

00:38:55.099 --> 00:38:57.820
that we get to sneak a band like H2O in this

00:38:57.820 --> 00:39:01.039
mix because as much as I love them being from

00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:03.719
the New Jersey, New York area, I feel like the

00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:05.559
rest of the country and maybe the rest of the

00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:08.920
world isn't as familiar with H2O as they should

00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:11.880
be. So I'm hoping by putting this on there, more

00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:13.960
people get to go down a rabbit hole and discover

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:16.519
them because this is one group that I think is

00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:20.860
just, Insanely underrated. Listen, if it wasn't

00:39:20.860 --> 00:39:23.420
for you, I would have never heard this song.

00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:27.639
And I love, love, love, love this version. And

00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:30.119
it's thanks to your podcast I heard it. But Like

00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:33.280
a Prayer, one of my favorite Madonna songs. It's

00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:37.300
my go -to karaoke song. And I am so glad you

00:39:37.300 --> 00:39:40.860
included this because the H2O cover is phenomenal.

00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:44.639
And they have a whole album of covers that are

00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:47.869
just... insanely good and i know the one that

00:39:47.869 --> 00:39:51.269
gets a lot of flack is there i want to live ramones

00:39:51.269 --> 00:39:54.449
cover people dog it every time but i actually

00:39:54.449 --> 00:39:57.369
enjoy it being it's you know one of the better

00:39:57.369 --> 00:40:00.449
songs that the ramones did in that period but

00:40:00.449 --> 00:40:04.090
h2o does a great job and it's just a great song

00:40:04.090 --> 00:40:06.869
so thank you for including that one brian had

00:40:06.869 --> 00:40:10.469
to revisit it it needed to be done oh it's so

00:40:10.469 --> 00:40:14.179
good Well, I am going to go with another song

00:40:14.179 --> 00:40:19.539
to me that it has a lot of energy. It's a very,

00:40:19.579 --> 00:40:22.119
very near and dear song to me, and it's from

00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.360
the band Legwagon. And I know Legwagon gets a

00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:29.579
lot of love or hate, but I am going to go with

00:40:29.579 --> 00:40:34.000
Know It All. Now, this song to me, growing up,

00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.849
I played the NCAA video games. And there was

00:40:37.849 --> 00:40:40.190
one year they had a soundtrack and they picked

00:40:40.190 --> 00:40:44.909
a killer soundtrack with Lagwagon, Therapy, NoFX,

00:40:45.030 --> 00:40:47.769
tons of great punk bands and got me really into

00:40:47.769 --> 00:40:51.190
the music. And this song was on that soundtrack.

00:40:51.409 --> 00:40:55.190
And it has been a staple for almost 20 plus years

00:40:55.190 --> 00:40:59.070
of me listening to. It's fast paced. It's fun.

00:40:59.309 --> 00:41:04.239
It brings me back nostalgia as being a kid. To

00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:07.400
me, I think Legwagon is a super underrated band.

00:41:07.579 --> 00:41:10.320
I think Hoss as an album is one of their better

00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:12.960
albums. Granted, the song is not off that album,

00:41:13.059 --> 00:41:16.699
but go listen if you haven't to Hoss through

00:41:16.699 --> 00:41:21.059
and through and your views will change on Legwagon

00:41:21.059 --> 00:41:23.820
and punk music. This is actually your right from

00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:28.739
1994's Trashed album. I love this one. I love

00:41:28.739 --> 00:41:33.070
the message. Know it all. Did you really listen

00:41:33.070 --> 00:41:36.670
to that song? Could you ever write what you call

00:41:36.670 --> 00:41:43.210
wrong? Right being W -R -I -T -E. Not right,

00:41:43.309 --> 00:41:47.989
R -I -G -H -T. Brilliant lyrics about following

00:41:47.989 --> 00:41:51.150
a band until they make it big. This band can

00:41:51.150 --> 00:41:54.650
finally pay their rent, not travel around in

00:41:54.650 --> 00:41:57.809
a van with a busted up cot in the back of it.

00:41:58.010 --> 00:42:01.070
Finally get to be able to make some money. with

00:42:01.070 --> 00:42:03.889
music as your career only to be called sellouts

00:42:03.889 --> 00:42:08.010
otherwise known as tall poppy syndrome in canada

00:42:08.010 --> 00:42:10.949
australia and new zealand for those of us in

00:42:10.949 --> 00:42:14.929
the u .s tall poppy syndrome is essentially attacking

00:42:14.929 --> 00:42:18.349
something simply based on its success and i'm

00:42:18.349 --> 00:42:21.849
sorry i could take this all the way back to metallica

00:42:21.849 --> 00:42:25.739
if you want to go metal anytime a band breaks

00:42:25.739 --> 00:42:27.900
into the mainstream. It's happened with Offspring,

00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:31.739
Green Day, Blink -182. All of these bands that

00:42:31.739 --> 00:42:36.780
found worldwide success got slagged at some point

00:42:36.780 --> 00:42:40.320
by their fans as almost being offended that they

00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:43.380
got to the next level. And I've never understood

00:42:43.380 --> 00:42:46.380
that because if a band doesn't get to the next

00:42:46.380 --> 00:42:48.500
level, there's not a chance that that band will

00:42:48.500 --> 00:42:50.940
be around in the future because they might not

00:42:50.940 --> 00:42:55.119
be able to afford to be around. So this song,

00:42:55.469 --> 00:42:58.550
Just nails that message. And I love the pic.

00:42:58.869 --> 00:43:01.769
A hundred percent. I mean, even Alice in Chains

00:43:01.769 --> 00:43:04.989
dog Metallica for cutting their hair. So other

00:43:04.989 --> 00:43:09.230
bands dog other bands. Well, following up Lagwagon,

00:43:09.289 --> 00:43:11.210
I'm going to go with another song that might

00:43:11.210 --> 00:43:15.769
catch some flack because this song created a

00:43:15.769 --> 00:43:19.570
rift between the band that I'm about to choose,

00:43:19.789 --> 00:43:23.289
which was mentioned by one of our Patreon mixtapers.

00:43:23.820 --> 00:43:27.019
And a song, Tom, by a band that you picked, Rise

00:43:27.019 --> 00:43:30.760
Against. And the song I'm going to choose is

00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:34.500
by Against Me. Shout out once again to Patreon

00:43:34.500 --> 00:43:38.019
mixtaper Sean Goff, who chimed in with Transgender

00:43:38.019 --> 00:43:41.340
Dysphoria Blues, which is an awesome tune. I

00:43:41.340 --> 00:43:44.960
love it. But coming out of Lagwagon, I got to

00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:48.440
go with I Was a Teenage Anarchist off of 2010's

00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:52.280
White Crosses. I think it hits perfectly in this

00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.980
spot with no disrespect to Sean's pick. I love

00:43:55.980 --> 00:43:59.920
it. Garbage's Butch Vig produced this song and

00:43:59.920 --> 00:44:02.559
it shows in the production of the album. I love

00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:05.960
Butch Vig's production work. I mean, you hear

00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:08.820
it on Nirvana's Nevermind. You hear it on the

00:44:08.820 --> 00:44:12.059
Foo Fighters' Wasting Light. Against Me sounds

00:44:12.059 --> 00:44:16.420
incredible on this album and White Cross's as

00:44:16.420 --> 00:44:19.389
a whole. I'm probably going to catch flack for

00:44:19.389 --> 00:44:21.929
this too. Might be my favorite against me album,

00:44:22.030 --> 00:44:25.289
but the riff that it caused was because of the

00:44:25.289 --> 00:44:28.050
lyrics. Do you remember when you were young and

00:44:28.050 --> 00:44:32.150
you wanted to set the world on fire in 2011 on

00:44:32.150 --> 00:44:36.309
rise against track architects, they expanded

00:44:36.309 --> 00:44:39.150
on those lyrics saying, do you remember when

00:44:39.150 --> 00:44:40.949
you were young and you wanted to set the world

00:44:40.949 --> 00:44:45.170
on fire somewhere deep down? I know you do. Do

00:44:45.170 --> 00:44:47.010
you remember when you were young and you wanted

00:44:47.010 --> 00:44:50.309
to set the world on fire? Well, I still am. And

00:44:50.309 --> 00:44:53.050
I still do. So there was a little bit of a punk

00:44:53.050 --> 00:44:55.309
rock riff going on between these two bands. But

00:44:55.309 --> 00:44:57.949
regardless, I think we got a lot of kick ass

00:44:57.949 --> 00:45:01.250
music out of it. Whatever side you're on. Hundred

00:45:01.250 --> 00:45:04.070
percent. You scoot me on against me. So what

00:45:04.070 --> 00:45:06.210
I had from them was a call to enemies. That's

00:45:06.210 --> 00:45:08.590
my favorite against me. Another good pick. But.

00:45:09.130 --> 00:45:11.610
You know, it's hard to pick which side you want

00:45:11.610 --> 00:45:13.969
to be on with Rise Against Against Me because

00:45:13.969 --> 00:45:17.309
I love both bands very much and they do a great

00:45:17.309 --> 00:45:20.909
job. But I'm going to kick it back a little bit

00:45:20.909 --> 00:45:24.690
because there's one band that I kind of noted

00:45:24.690 --> 00:45:27.210
on when we talked about H2O's cover and that

00:45:27.210 --> 00:45:31.460
was the Ramones. Ah, I. Personally love this

00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:33.599
song. School of Rock made me fall in love with

00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:36.000
this song. And that's Bonzo Goes to Bitford.

00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:39.699
Yes. It's about President Reagan. And I believe

00:45:39.699 --> 00:45:43.079
Joey Ramone wrote the song about being angry

00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:47.119
with Ronald Reagan. And it was re -released as

00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:49.800
My Head is Hanging Upside Down or something along

00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:52.619
those lines because they didn't want to keep

00:45:52.619 --> 00:45:55.599
throwing it out there at Reagan because it's

00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:58.349
kind of a slam against him. And when it was used

00:45:58.349 --> 00:46:00.349
in School of Rock, that's kind of when it started

00:46:00.349 --> 00:46:03.170
going by its old title. But it's just a great

00:46:03.170 --> 00:46:05.949
song. You have the chime in the heavy guitar

00:46:05.949 --> 00:46:08.590
riff, and it's something that I like to work

00:46:08.590 --> 00:46:11.329
out to. It's a good cool down song for me, and

00:46:11.329 --> 00:46:14.690
it gets me thinking about where I want to be

00:46:14.690 --> 00:46:17.230
at with this workout or how I want to play this

00:46:17.230 --> 00:46:19.690
hockey game. It's a very good mind setting song

00:46:19.690 --> 00:46:23.230
for me. I think you and I would be doing a disservice

00:46:23.230 --> 00:46:26.300
to punk rock. and to working out if we didn't

00:46:26.300 --> 00:46:30.280
include the Ramones on this list. I personally

00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:32.920
had, do you remember rock and roll radio in my

00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:37.239
bank of songs? Because I discovered, I kid you

00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:39.659
not, I discovered that song on one of my parents'

00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:43.739
old K -Tel albums called Rock 80. And it was

00:46:43.739 --> 00:46:46.219
one of my favorite songs as a kid. I used to

00:46:46.219 --> 00:46:48.940
stomp around the living room to do you remember

00:46:48.940 --> 00:46:52.599
rock and roll radio? One of my favorite Ramones

00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:55.980
songs ever. But Bonzo's another killer track

00:46:55.980 --> 00:46:58.880
and it keeps that same energy. Just, I don't

00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:01.400
know, minus the horn section, if you will. Yeah,

00:47:01.420 --> 00:47:03.739
very much. But you get, I don't know if it's

00:47:03.739 --> 00:47:06.420
a xylophone, but you get some kind of chiming

00:47:06.420 --> 00:47:08.619
in instead of horn. So yeah, there you go. You

00:47:08.619 --> 00:47:11.019
trade one for the other. Perfect. I'll take it.

00:47:11.219 --> 00:47:14.920
And now we're down to one pick each. And I'm

00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:19.079
really concerned right now because there's a

00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:21.760
song that I think should close out this playlist.

00:47:22.670 --> 00:47:27.130
especially because we're recording in 2024 and

00:47:27.130 --> 00:47:31.750
I want to pick it, but I just have a feeling

00:47:31.750 --> 00:47:33.969
because their name has popped up a couple of

00:47:33.969 --> 00:47:37.050
times in discussion tonight that I think you're

00:47:37.050 --> 00:47:39.670
going to be on the same wavelength as me. And

00:47:39.670 --> 00:47:42.469
I hope you are. If not, I'm going to take that

00:47:42.469 --> 00:47:45.630
risk and I'm going to pivot out of the Ramones

00:47:45.630 --> 00:47:48.349
because we haven't gotten any Irish punk into

00:47:48.349 --> 00:47:54.869
the mix. So I'm going to. go out in style with

00:47:54.869 --> 00:47:58.869
my last pick of the evening with Dropkick Murphy's

00:47:58.869 --> 00:48:04.510
2011 title track, Going Out in Style, which features

00:48:04.510 --> 00:48:13.050
Fat Mike from NoFX. Excuse me, had something

00:48:13.050 --> 00:48:15.650
in my throat there. Chris Cheney from The Living

00:48:15.650 --> 00:48:20.820
End and actor Lenny Clark in the vocals. This

00:48:20.820 --> 00:48:24.579
is a chorus that's a sing -along of epic proportions.

00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:27.980
A lot of Dropkick Murphy stuff is, but for a

00:48:27.980 --> 00:48:32.480
workout mix, going out in style just does that

00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:35.360
for me. I could really give a shit. I'm going

00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:38.280
out in style for my last pick of the evening,

00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:41.800
Dropkick Murphy's Baby. Ah, such a wonderful

00:48:41.800 --> 00:48:44.340
pick and such a wonderful band, a band that I

00:48:44.340 --> 00:48:48.610
have loved and loved for many years. But... Catching

00:48:48.610 --> 00:48:52.230
your drift and kind of reading your mind. Was

00:48:52.230 --> 00:48:56.550
I obvious with my hints? You were very, very

00:48:56.550 --> 00:48:59.929
clear, and I would never leave this band off

00:48:59.929 --> 00:49:03.130
a list. I knew I was going last, and I wanted

00:49:03.130 --> 00:49:06.449
to slam the door shut with no effects. These

00:49:06.449 --> 00:49:10.650
guys are leaving us to never tour again, in air

00:49:10.650 --> 00:49:12.789
quotes, because you know how Motley Crue did

00:49:12.789 --> 00:49:14.949
that multiple times. Yeah, I don't ever believe

00:49:14.949 --> 00:49:18.380
that. since it's some 41s doing it as well i

00:49:18.380 --> 00:49:21.920
don't believe it it's only a matter of time motley

00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:25.559
crew lincoln park i feel like even led zeppelin

00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:29.460
after many years did the 2007 reunion at the

00:49:29.460 --> 00:49:32.380
o2 i i in my heart i don't want to believe that

00:49:32.380 --> 00:49:36.000
it's the end of no effects so go no i will never

00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:41.900
never not love this song and it comes off 1994's

00:49:41.900 --> 00:49:46.929
punk and droveling It is linoleum. Yes. My absolute

00:49:46.929 --> 00:49:51.190
favorite song that no effects has done. And everybody's

00:49:51.190 --> 00:49:53.409
going to go, Oh, it's their most popular. It's

00:49:53.409 --> 00:49:56.590
the most popular for a reason. It's covered constantly.

00:49:56.630 --> 00:49:59.940
You go to YouTube. There's. 200 pages of linoleum

00:49:59.940 --> 00:50:03.739
covers. Even NoFX made a stab at it and made

00:50:03.739 --> 00:50:06.000
a music video during the pandemic with a bench

00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:08.659
sevenfold about how many bands have covered this

00:50:08.659 --> 00:50:12.820
song. It's a wild one. If you haven't seen it,

00:50:12.900 --> 00:50:15.719
it's a good one. And Streetlight Manifesto does

00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:18.219
the best cover, but the original will always

00:50:18.219 --> 00:50:22.079
stay near and dear to my heart. I love this song.

00:50:22.260 --> 00:50:24.840
I have sat and cried to this song. I have worked

00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:28.019
out to this song. I have enjoyed this song through

00:50:28.019 --> 00:50:31.659
and through, and I think this is the absolute

00:50:31.659 --> 00:50:35.800
best way to end this mixtape. And send Noah FX

00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:40.239
off with a thank you and a goodbye. Closing our

00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:42.940
playlist out with the opening track from Punk

00:50:42.940 --> 00:50:46.420
and Drublick, my closest friend. Guitar World

00:50:46.420 --> 00:50:48.699
actually ranks the Punk and Drublick album number

00:50:48.699 --> 00:50:52.559
four on the 51 Most Essential. pop punk albums

00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:55.599
of all time. And Kerrang! ranks at number six

00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:59.760
on their 51 greatest pop punk albums ever. One

00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:03.360
of the band's most iconic songs, and it's a song

00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:05.599
without a chorus, a very no effects thing to

00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:10.320
do. I mentioned Sum 41. In LA, Sum 41 covered

00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:14.219
Linoleum. As a way to tip their hat to both bands

00:51:14.219 --> 00:51:17.099
kind of quote unquote going out in style. I'm

00:51:17.099 --> 00:51:19.440
glad you took my hint there. It was really on

00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:21.599
the nose. And I'm sure the punk fans out there

00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:24.219
listening are kind of groaning at the fact that

00:51:24.219 --> 00:51:27.440
I really love that one to you. But I'm so glad

00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:30.420
you did it because considering no effects is

00:51:30.420 --> 00:51:33.019
calling it a day in 2024. And again, I'll use

00:51:33.019 --> 00:51:34.920
air quotes on that because we just don't know.

00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:50.510

00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:21.000
say it once again. First off, thank you so much

00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:24.139
for being such a huge part of the Patreon mixtaper

00:52:24.139 --> 00:52:27.260

me on my weekly mixtape. Look forward to having

00:52:29.820 --> 00:52:32.460
you back in the near future, man. Absolutely,

00:52:32.699 --> 00:52:35.400
Brian. It's always a pleasure. I love the Patreon

00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:38.300
guys. I love talking with everybody, throwing

00:52:38.300 --> 00:52:40.760
songs out there and just enjoying it every week.
