Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.379 that takes the classic mixtape approach to building 00:00:25.379 --> 00:00:28.179 a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn. 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.679 Joining me for tonight's collaboration is Alex 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.060 Jacob, 2006 United States Poker Championship 00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:37.320 winner, as well as Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.899 winner. Alex, thank you so much for joining me 00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:42.880 on My Weekly Mixtape tonight. Hey, no problem, 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.240 Brian. Thanks for having me. Absolute pleasure. 00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.219 I'd like to start by asking you the same question 00:00:48.219 --> 00:00:50.840 I ask everybody at the top of each show. Alex, 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.159 what does the word mixtape mean to you? Oh, boy. 00:00:55.179 --> 00:00:59.420 Well, I'm old enough where... We did have cassette 00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:02.979 tapes when I was a kid. I did have some cassette 00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:07.299 tapes, but I don't think I was too young to actually 00:01:07.299 --> 00:01:10.680 make mix tapes on cassette tape. I don't think 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.299 I ever did that. I was more in the era of burning 00:01:14.299 --> 00:01:18.359 mix CDs, which I did plenty of times with MP3s. 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.260 So I'm very familiar with that. So I guess that 00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:25.700 would be more my mix tape, the mix CD. All right. 00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:27.579 Well, that is perfectly fine, because whether 00:01:27.579 --> 00:01:31.280 it's a mixtape, a mix CD or a playlist, the thought 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.040 process is still there. And I know, Alex, you 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.500 are a big movie and Oscars buff. I think that's 00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:42.620 safe to say. Yes, absolutely. So tonight, Alex 00:01:42.620 --> 00:01:46.319 and I will be curating a mixtape of 2000s movie 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.599 soundtrack songs. And this decade, like I mentioned 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.599 in our 80s and 90s movie soundtrack episodes. 00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:56.140 was the decade where soundtracks became less 00:01:56.140 --> 00:01:58.780 of an importance because of the advent of digital 00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:01.700 downloads and streaming. However, make no mistake 00:02:01.700 --> 00:02:04.099 about it. There were still a ton of great songs 00:02:04.099 --> 00:02:06.920 to appear on soundtracks throughout the decade. 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.740 They just weren't the events that soundtracks 00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:12.900 were in the 80s or 90s. But there's a ton of 00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:16.300 great music to choose from. Alex. Being such 00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:18.800 a movie buff and somebody that really pays attention 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.120 to the films that are out and the reputation 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.680 that they have, what were you looking for in 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:27.639 the songs that you brought to the table this 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.979 evening? Well, I guess I was looking for songs 00:02:31.979 --> 00:02:37.020 that kind of remind you of that movie. They were 00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:39.259 kind of so iconic that when you think of that 00:02:39.259 --> 00:02:41.659 song, you can't help but think of that movie. 00:02:43.550 --> 00:02:45.389 You know, I guess more than anything, I'm looking 00:02:45.389 --> 00:02:48.389 for songs that kind of create a vibe because 00:02:48.389 --> 00:02:51.229 that's kind of what you really need in a song 00:02:51.229 --> 00:02:54.330 used in a movie. It was a tough one because this 00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:59.030 was not an easy one to pull up a list of best 00:02:59.030 --> 00:03:03.050 songs from movies in the 2000s. It was kind of 00:03:03.050 --> 00:03:05.370 a very specific thing, so you could kind of look 00:03:05.370 --> 00:03:07.689 at soundtrack albums, but that really wouldn't 00:03:07.689 --> 00:03:10.849 get you what you're looking for. So you kind 00:03:10.849 --> 00:03:15.240 of had to... look through and try to find the 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.639 gems i think there's some good ones out there 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.939 all kinds of different vibes so we'll see what 00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:22.939 we can come up with Well, let's get down to business. 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.300 Tonight, as I mentioned earlier, Alex and I will 00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:28.419 be curating the ultimate 2000s movie soundtrack 00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:31.000 mixtape, and we'll use the old cassette deck 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.000 approach, meaning our mixtape will be broken 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.879 up into two sides, side A and side B. Alex, as 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.979 my special guest, will begin side A with his 00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:41.460 first song choice, and then I'll add a song that 00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:44.219 I feel best follows up his choice. We'll then 00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:46.280 flip -flop choosing songs until we've mapped 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.509 out 10 songs for side A. We'll then give our 00:03:49.509 --> 00:03:52.210 mixtape a proverbial flip and we'll map outside. 00:03:52.310 --> 00:03:54.650 Be only this time, I'll kick things off with 00:03:54.650 --> 00:03:57.509 Alex choosing second. Our overall goal for the 00:03:57.509 --> 00:04:01.090 episode is to create the best 2000s movie soundtrack 00:04:01.090 --> 00:04:04.770 mixtape possible through only 20 songs. At the 00:04:04.770 --> 00:04:06.370 end of the show, you can take our conversation 00:04:06.370 --> 00:04:09.610 to the next level by visiting the 2000s movie 00:04:09.610 --> 00:04:12.810 soundtrack page at myweeklymixtape .com to give 00:04:12.810 --> 00:04:15.349 our final mixtape a listen. via the embedded 00:04:15.349 --> 00:04:18.009 playlist.

All right, Alex, with that laundry 00:06:11.290 --> 00:06:13.709 list of songs out in the open, I'm very curious 00:06:13.709 --> 00:06:15.490 to see how you're going to kick things off tonight. 00:06:15.589 --> 00:06:18.149 So with that, I'm officially pressing the record 00:06:18.149 --> 00:06:20.589 button on this mixtape and throwing it over to 00:06:20.589 --> 00:06:23.589 you. Alex, what song are you kicking off tonight's 00:06:23.589 --> 00:06:27.050 2000s movie soundtrack mixtape with and why? 00:06:27.870 --> 00:06:33.329 Okay, well, I believe when you... told me about 00:06:33.329 --> 00:06:37.870 this theme this was the one song that came to 00:06:37.870 --> 00:06:40.470 mind and i and i even told you right then that 00:06:40.470 --> 00:06:42.509 um you can cross this one off your list because 00:06:42.509 --> 00:06:46.649 i will be starting the mixtape with this one 00:06:46.649 --> 00:06:51.529 um this was a number one hit this was an oscar 00:06:51.529 --> 00:06:54.709 -winning song so i'm sure this won a couple grammys 00:06:54.709 --> 00:06:59.050 this song uh inspired the name of the artist 00:06:59.050 --> 00:07:02.459 uh restaurant where they serve mom's spaghetti. 00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:04.879 Of course, you're talking about Lose Yourself 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.680 by Eminem from 8 Miles. It's just an all -time 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.699 banger. A song that really needs to be good because 00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:19.500 the whole movie is built around the idea that 00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:24.100 this is a real talent. It's a moment that he 00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:27.899 needs to nail. I would say everyone would agree 00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:31.720 that he just nails it. Oh, yeah. It's a great 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.980 song to start off an album, I think. A mixtape 00:07:35.980 --> 00:07:38.180 gets you pumped up right off the bat. And so 00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:40.040 I figure we'll start off with that one. I know 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.800 this is a collaborative effort, but I'm a competitive 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.319 guy. I'm always playing to win. So if there's 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.500 a way to win or lose here, I want to try to win. 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.759 So I'm going to try to take this one off the 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.660 board because I feel like this would be one that 00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:55.600 you would want to pick. So I want this one for 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.399 myself. I completely get it. I'm a competitive 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.500 guy as well. And that's something that we do 00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:02.939 on Playlist Wars. And you are absolutely right. 00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:06.459 I did have Lose Yourself on my mix. It was the 00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:09.459 first ever hip hop song to win an Academy Award 00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:12.740 for Best Original Song. It's iconic. When we 00:08:12.740 --> 00:08:15.680 did sports anthems, when I had Frank the Tank 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.220 from Barstool Sports on. It obviously made the 00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:22.519 sports anthems mix. The song is so iconic. When 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.680 you play it in a stadium, everybody knows what 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.540 you're talking about. Everybody knows what's 00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:30.459 happening. It is a universally beloved song, 00:08:30.620 --> 00:08:32.840 and I think it's a perfect way to kick things 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:37.580 off. Now, I don't have a ton of hip hop on my 00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:41.799 list. However, I do have a song that I feel like 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.639 because Lose Yourself did have a little bit of 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.460 a rock vibe because of the guitar loop that went 00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:50.639 underneath the bars he was dropping. I feel like 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.440 I could lean into this with a little bit of a 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.620 new metal touch and still keep the vibe going. 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.679 And I'm going to go off of a movie that, well, 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.759 let's just say is not very popular among comic 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.039 book fans. And that would be 2003's Daredevil. 00:09:08.169 --> 00:09:10.570 the Netflix, and soon -to -be Disney Plus show 00:09:10.570 --> 00:09:15.009 a lot more. However, the movie did spawn a great 00:09:15.009 --> 00:09:19.309 soundtrack, and one of the songs exploded a band 00:09:19.309 --> 00:09:22.250 into the mainstream who has been around since 00:09:22.250 --> 00:09:26.750 2003. Because of the song Bring Me to Life, featuring 00:09:26.750 --> 00:09:30.289 Paul McCoy of 12 Stones, I'm going with Evanescence. 00:09:30.779 --> 00:09:33.379 Bring Me to Life. Their debut album, Fallen, 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.740 is seven times platinum. So people tend to forget 00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:42.980 that their signature song came out on the Daredevil 00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:45.759 soundtrack three months prior before Fallen ever 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.399 hit the shelves. And it's just a kick -ass song. 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.440 So I am following you up with Evanescence, Bring 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:55.179 Me to Life. Oh, boy, great choice. Yeah, I would 00:09:55.179 --> 00:09:57.539 have not known. I mean, that was kind of the 00:09:57.539 --> 00:10:02.419 classic rock radio. hit when i was a kid and 00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:04.820 i i know i would i had no idea that was from 00:10:04.820 --> 00:10:08.980 daredevil movie yeah another song it just really 00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:11.120 uh it really brings a vibe so that's that's a 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.919 great one i'm trying to see what i could go to 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.460 match with that one this is where the challenge 00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:23.580 lies now yeah you know what i got one that kind 00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:29.639 of um has kind of a similar moody yeah emo type 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.960 vibe that kind of could you could pair it with 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.220 with that a little bit not the exact same but 00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:40.399 this one was a it was a cover of a song and um 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:44.080 i wasn't really familiar with the song by tears 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:48.220 for fears the original until i saw this cover 00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:51.639 version in the movie and this was like one of 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.879 these movies that was kind of like a cult classic 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.639 for uh if you're of a certain age that kind of 00:10:57.189 --> 00:11:00.350 Either it blew your mind or you didn't get it 00:11:00.350 --> 00:11:03.049 or whatever. The movie is Donnie Darko and the 00:11:03.049 --> 00:11:07.269 song is Mad World. It's by Gary Jules and Michael 00:11:07.269 --> 00:11:11.850 Andrews, this version. But it's very stripped 00:11:11.850 --> 00:11:14.190 down. I don't know if you have you seen the movie, 00:11:14.250 --> 00:11:18.149 Brian. But a lot of my friends are a massive 00:11:18.149 --> 00:11:21.769 fan of that movie. So, yeah, yeah, it's one of 00:11:21.769 --> 00:11:24.159 those. I don't know if a lot of people have gone 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.519 back and watching it, but maybe it's kind of 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.019 one of those where you had to be there. But it 00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:33.480 might hold up. It's a weird movie. It probably 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.179 holds up well. But I haven't seen it in a while 00:11:36.179 --> 00:11:39.460 myself. But that song really stands out from 00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:43.419 that movie and just kind of just a really haunting 00:11:43.419 --> 00:11:47.840 version of that song. That's my pick. Hard to 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.120 describe a song that you haven't heard, but I'm 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.879 sure you're going to hit me with a couple songs 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.500 that I haven't heard either. Actually, believe 00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:58.720 it or not, I am a cover song fanatic, so I know 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.779 the song. I should have known. But I do not know 00:12:01.779 --> 00:12:06.259 the movie. However, in my defense, both the 80s 00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:08.639 and 90s soundtrack episode, I brought up songs 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.679 from soundtracks that I own to movies that I've 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.320 never seen. So it's kind of a common theme with 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.679 me being the music nerd and all. But I love the 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.019 fact that you went with a cover and I am going 00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:22.399 to follow you up with a cover, but it's going 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.240 to be a different style of cover. Whereas this 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.500 version was a kind of a brooding vibe. I think 00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:33.100 you'd go with the song that I'm going to pick 00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:38.000 is far from brooding and certainly more upbeat 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:43.879 and more bombastic. And this cover came out in 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.559 a little movie. from 2009 called the watchman 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:52.139 this song originally recorded by bob dylan in 00:12:52.139 --> 00:12:57.320 1965 was remade by my chemical romance and that 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:02.480 song is desolation row to me that i love movie 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.159 cover songs oh because you're familiar with the 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.500 song already but then you hear a new take and 00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:11.179 when you put it into the watchman It makes perfect 00:13:11.179 --> 00:13:13.519 sense. And coming out of your cover, I'd like 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.159 to follow a cover with a cover because I don't 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.799 have a ton of covers in my list. But coming out 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.600 of Gary Jules and Michael Andrews, I feel like 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.639 this one actually makes sense. So My Chemical 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:28.440 Romance, Desolation Row from The Watchmen. Nice, 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:32.000 nice. Yeah, that's a good one. I think that movie 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.440 also, I was going to start with Times are Changing 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:41.289 by Dylan as well. That's a good one. All right. 00:13:42.629 --> 00:13:48.690 What should we be doing next? All right. I'm 00:13:48.690 --> 00:13:55.889 going to go with a song that really is one of 00:13:55.889 --> 00:13:57.750 these songs that I think of when I was talking 00:13:57.750 --> 00:13:59.929 about a song that really creates a vibe. And 00:13:59.929 --> 00:14:06.669 this is a song in a movie where... They reach 00:14:06.669 --> 00:14:09.490 the title location, and it's kind of glorious. 00:14:09.570 --> 00:14:13.929 And the song plays. And the song is Porcelain 00:14:13.929 --> 00:14:18.970 by Moby. The movie is The Beach. And it's kind 00:14:18.970 --> 00:14:22.169 of one of these, I wish I could try to sing it 00:14:22.169 --> 00:14:23.789 for you. It's kind of one of those riffs that 00:14:23.789 --> 00:14:27.129 if you hear it, you will, if you don't know the 00:14:27.129 --> 00:14:29.629 song by the title, you would recognize it by 00:14:29.629 --> 00:14:32.730 hearing it. And it's just kind of the perfect 00:14:32.730 --> 00:14:35.940 song. They show up to the beach and it's just 00:14:35.940 --> 00:14:40.539 like beautiful and party time. And yeah, it's 00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:43.740 a vibe. It's a great song. And believe it or 00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:48.340 not, the way that you're going with a song that 00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:53.019 kind of signifies the entire movie, that gives 00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:55.440 me something that I can easily bounce off of. 00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:57.740 I'm not the most massive Moby fan, but that is 00:14:57.740 --> 00:15:01.279 a song that you're absolutely right is a vibe 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.879 in and of itself. And I think the song that I 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:06.100 picked, while it's a different style musically, 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:10.100 I think achieves the same thing that you were 00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:13.440 looking for in Moby's contribution to the beach. 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.620 And this was a movie that came out in 2008. And 00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:23.080 at the time, Mickey Rourke was on a career explosion. 00:15:23.820 --> 00:15:27.220 And he reached out to Bruce Springsteen and asked 00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:29.600 if he could write a song for his upcoming movie. 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.779 Springsteen subsequently did and gave it to Mickey 00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:36.460 Rourke and the director without charging them 00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:39.279 a fee, which is really cool. And the song did 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.059 win a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. And 00:15:43.059 --> 00:15:46.299 it was featured on the soundtrack to 2008's The 00:15:46.299 --> 00:15:50.279 Wrestler, as well as a bonus track on Bruce Springsteen's 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.179 2009's Working on a Dream. I'm going with Bruce 00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:56.220 Springsteen, The Wrestler. Yeah, I agree. And 00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:58.500 I think they snubbed it at the Oscars, if I recall. 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.379 And it was kind of a... It's kind of a shock, 00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:04.360 especially after it won the Golden Globe. I thought 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.860 it was a lock. I have no idea how that one did 00:16:06.860 --> 00:16:10.080 not win. I mean, what an amazing song to capture 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.519 the essence of that movie. And Bruce Springsteen 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.539 really captured that moment well. So to me, that 00:16:16.539 --> 00:16:20.419 song is a vibe because when you hear it, you're 00:16:20.419 --> 00:16:22.919 immediately brought into the movie. Like, I can't 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.100 not picture the movie hearing that song. Yeah, 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:31.960 exactly. Let's see what else I got. Well, here's 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:37.779 another one that also kind of just reminds me 00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:42.539 of that movie. Although this song has taken on 00:16:42.539 --> 00:16:46.480 a life of its own, for sure. But if you've seen 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.840 this movie, it's used very memorably in the movie. 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.179 And I realize my lead -up has not given any... 00:16:57.150 --> 00:16:59.970 Any interesting details or facts would give anything 00:16:59.970 --> 00:17:03.350 away. But I was like, how could I? I really haven't 00:17:03.350 --> 00:17:05.930 hinted at anything at all. But I'll just say 00:17:05.930 --> 00:17:09.089 it. The song is The Blower's Daughter by Damien 00:17:09.089 --> 00:17:12.289 Rice from the movie Closer. Another one of these 00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:15.630 songs that maybe you wouldn't recognize the title 00:17:15.630 --> 00:17:18.170 or a lot of people would, but maybe if you didn't, 00:17:18.170 --> 00:17:22.269 you've almost certainly heard it. And just kind 00:17:22.269 --> 00:17:27.470 of one of those all -time haunting. that just 00:17:27.470 --> 00:17:29.930 kind of makes you feel something right away. 00:17:30.150 --> 00:17:36.609 And that is used especially well in Closer, which 00:17:36.609 --> 00:17:39.630 I especially like. So that is my pick for the 00:17:39.630 --> 00:17:42.670 next one. That is actually a movie, again, that 00:17:42.670 --> 00:17:45.390 I haven't seen, but I am familiar with Damien 00:17:45.390 --> 00:17:49.109 Rice. And that is a fantastic pick, especially 00:17:49.109 --> 00:17:51.089 coming out of Bruce Springsteen. It actually 00:17:51.089 --> 00:17:54.029 makes sense on both a movie and musical level. 00:17:54.690 --> 00:17:58.269 So coming out of Damien Rice, I'm actually going 00:17:58.269 --> 00:18:01.710 to go with another cover song. But I feel like 00:18:01.710 --> 00:18:04.910 this is one of those covers where it's a let's 00:18:04.910 --> 00:18:07.670 be honest moment. Most people didn't know it 00:18:07.670 --> 00:18:11.210 was a cover song. The original came out in 1913. 00:18:12.369 --> 00:18:16.619 So obviously our parents, parents, parents. Maybe 00:18:16.619 --> 00:18:19.140 knew the song. And there were several notable 00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:22.119 renditions. Once again, Bob Dylan did a 62 version 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.839 as well as Ginger Baker's Air Force in 1970. 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.039 But the song that I am choosing is the version 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.980 that was created for the 2000 movie. Oh, brother, 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.940 where art thou? And I'm going with the Soggy 00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:39.660 Bottom Boys. I am a man of constant sorrow. Once 00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:43.599 again, it's a vibe in and of itself. It's that 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:47.539 bluegrass. And seeing George Clooney, he almost 00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:50.180 convinced me that he was singing it in the movie. 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.680 Like he he handled that part well, because I 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.980 know that's not him singing it. And it was convincing 00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:59.059 enough in the movie because it was almost like 00:18:59.059 --> 00:19:01.839 another movie, which I might bring up later. 00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:03.980 So I'm going to put a pin in that for now and 00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:06.480 not talk about it yet. But when you see an actor 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:09.599 you're very familiar with taking on a singing 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.960 role. knowing that they probably can't sing, 00:19:13.099 --> 00:19:15.819 they have to really sell it for you to buy the 00:19:15.819 --> 00:19:18.680 role. And I bought the role that he played in. 00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:20.240 Oh brother, where art thou? So I'm going to go 00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.740 with that one. The soggy bottom boys. I am a 00:19:22.740 --> 00:19:26.319 man of constant sorrow. Yeah. Yeah. That was, 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:29.500 that one was, uh, it was on my list. I should 00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:31.279 have, uh, I should have called that one out sooner. 00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:33.799 Take that one away from you. Yeah. Definitely 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:36.500 a good pick. Definitely one. That's a new, uh, 00:19:36.990 --> 00:19:40.750 And you hear that, you get that visual of George 00:19:40.750 --> 00:19:44.970 Clooney kind of straining his face close to the 00:19:44.970 --> 00:19:48.730 microphone. Yeah. Singing that one. So what should 00:19:48.730 --> 00:19:55.049 I do to follow up with that one? Well, I guess 00:19:55.049 --> 00:20:00.930 I will go with one. You know, maybe it's not 00:20:00.930 --> 00:20:05.970 the best connection, but... It kind of feels 00:20:05.970 --> 00:20:09.490 like it's a similar song and this might be an 00:20:09.490 --> 00:20:14.470 obvious one, but I am, uh, I'm a sucker for the 00:20:14.470 --> 00:20:18.049 counting crows and, uh, not everyone is a fan 00:20:18.049 --> 00:20:21.609 of that, but this is obviously, it was a massive 00:20:21.609 --> 00:20:25.690 movie song and a massive movie. Um, you know, 00:20:25.690 --> 00:20:30.740 whether you like it or not. trek 2 song is accidentally 00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:33.240 in love i think it comes right in the beginning 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:35.480 of the movie and there's a real extended sequence 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:39.940 um with it and this kind of sets the tone and 00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:44.940 gets you in a good mood and um you know they 00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:48.819 can write a melody and a lyric so um yeah that's 00:20:48.819 --> 00:20:52.059 my pick absolutely love it i have two kids that 00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:56.789 oh my god if i Saw the Shrek movies any less 00:20:56.789 --> 00:21:00.329 than 500 times now. And there's something about 00:21:00.329 --> 00:21:03.809 that song that every time it comes on, I'm like, 00:21:03.869 --> 00:21:06.369 I'm kind of all right with this. And it's kind 00:21:06.369 --> 00:21:08.789 of that feeling that like when I explained in 00:21:08.789 --> 00:21:12.190 the 90s movie soundtrack episode for a song, 00:21:12.269 --> 00:21:15.690 like if you see a movie a bunch of times, a song 00:21:15.690 --> 00:21:20.250 really needs to be strong in order to give you 00:21:20.250 --> 00:21:22.829 a connection to that movie. So my favorite movie 00:21:22.829 --> 00:21:26.579 of all time is that thing you do. And quote marks 00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:29.599 in the air here, the wonders play that song no 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.500 less than a dozen times in the movie. And no 00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:34.240 matter how many times I've seen the movie and 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:36.119 how many times I've heard the song, I never get 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.920 sick of it because Adam Schlesinger was able 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:43.019 to write the perfect pop earworm that just sinks 00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:45.180 into your soul throughout the movie. And counting 00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:48.259 crows do that exact same thing. And they are 00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:52.190 a fantastic group. I absolutely. Love the song. 00:21:52.390 --> 00:21:54.269 And I actually know what I'm going to close out 00:21:54.269 --> 00:21:58.089 Side A with. It's from a movie that, to put it 00:21:58.089 --> 00:22:01.109 nicely, was one that I certainly did not enjoy 00:22:01.109 --> 00:22:03.529 very much. I guess that's the nicest way I could 00:22:03.529 --> 00:22:06.710 put it. However, the soundtrack produced one 00:22:06.710 --> 00:22:08.990 of my favorite songs of the entire decade, movie 00:22:08.990 --> 00:22:12.829 soundtrack or not. And that song is Teenage Dirtbag 00:22:12.829 --> 00:22:17.230 by Wheatus. And the movie is 2000's Loser. The 00:22:17.230 --> 00:22:19.230 soundtrack came out several months before the 00:22:19.230 --> 00:22:22.779 band's first album. Again, this is not a movie 00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:25.700 that I would, if we were just talking about movies, 00:22:25.859 --> 00:22:30.259 I would not put the movie Loser in the same conversation 00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:33.180 as 8 Mile, Donnie Darko, The Watchmen, The Beach, 00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:36.359 like, come on. But the song coming out of The 00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.559 Counting Crows actually works. And I'm going 00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.839 to close out Side A with Wheatus, Teenage Dirtbag. 00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:46.180 Yeah, this is another one that was, you know, 00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.079 very familiar to me growing up and was kind of. 00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:52.740 almost inescapable if you were in my age group 00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:55.900 but i did not really connect it with the movie 00:22:55.900 --> 00:22:58.200 loser at all i mean maybe because i never saw 00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:01.559 the movie loser you're not missing much yes it 00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:06.079 was okay yeah but great song obviously her name 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:10.000 was noel just one of those like choruses that 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.619 just like get stuck in your head and just like 00:23:12.619 --> 00:23:16.430 will never go away great song Couldn't agree 00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:20.009 more. And that, mixtapers, concludes side A of 00:23:20.009 --> 00:23:23.630 our 2000s movie soundtracks mixtape, which consists 00:23:23.630 --> 00:23:27.349 of Eminem's Lose Yourself from 8 Mile, Evanescence' 00:23:27.349 --> 00:23:29.789 Bring Me to Life with Paul McCoy of 12 Stones 00:23:29.789 --> 00:23:32.990 from the movie Daredevil, Gary Jules and Michael 00:23:32.990 --> 00:23:36.690 Andrews' Mad World from Donnie Darko, My Chemical 00:23:36.690 --> 00:23:40.509 Romance' Desolation Row from The Watchmen, Moby's 00:23:40.509 --> 00:23:43.470 Porcelain from The Beach, Bruce Springsteen's 00:23:43.470 --> 00:23:46.470 The Wrestler from the movie The Same Name.

Head over 00:24:02.170 --> 00:24:04.769 to myweeklymixtape .com to hear all the songs 00:24:04.769 --> 00:24:07.859 we've discussed in this mix. through the playlist 00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:11.140 embedded on the episode page. Now, Alex, as I 00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:12.740 mentioned at the top of the show, you were a 00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:15.200 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions winner, as 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.039 well as the 2006 United States Poker Championship 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.000 winner, and you've also played in the World Championship 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:24.619 for poker. So a question that I am wondering, 00:24:24.900 --> 00:24:28.839 if you had to choose between the two, for you 00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:30.839 as a competitive person, like you said earlier, 00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:35.880 which was more of a stressful competition for 00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:38.880 you? Was it poker or was it Jeopardy and why? 00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:47.539 Probably Jeopardy, primarily because I was a 00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:51.019 lot older when I was on Jeopardy versus when 00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:55.319 I was playing in poker tournaments. And I just 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:58.079 feel like you feel that weight more, you know, 00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:01.319 when you're young, it's kind of like, oh, you 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:03.940 know, I've got infinite opportunities to come 00:25:03.940 --> 00:25:06.680 back and be especially. Something like a poker 00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:09.240 tournament where you literally do have the next 00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:11.619 poker tournament to come back to versus Jeopardy 00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:16.359 that can just be a one and done. If you lose, 00:25:16.619 --> 00:25:18.900 then you don't get a chance to come back and 00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:22.859 try again. So I would probably say Jeopardy. 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.500 But, you know, it's kind of different things. 00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:29.819 Obviously, the stress of kind of making all these 00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:33.700 tough decisions. You can definitely add up versus 00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:36.799 on Jeopardy, you're kind of just firing on instinct 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:39.380 and giving your answer, you know, giving answers 00:25:39.380 --> 00:25:41.299 for a lot of the time. You don't have time to 00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:43.660 think. It's kind of more fast paced. Whereas 00:25:43.660 --> 00:25:46.680 Nolam and Holden, they kind of say it's kind 00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:50.059 of like hours of boredom and then moments of 00:25:50.059 --> 00:25:54.680 terror, you know. So with that, in playing poker. 00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:58.519 You have to go all in on bets and you have to 00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:00.660 kind of take your chances when you feel it's 00:26:00.660 --> 00:26:03.599 time to strike. And I feel like you took that 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:06.099 approach when you play Jeopardy by doing the 00:26:06.099 --> 00:26:10.039 all in on the daily double. Was that based on 00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:12.579 your experiences in the poker tournaments as 00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:15.750 almost as a way to maybe. I don't want to say 00:26:15.750 --> 00:26:18.549 play mind games with your opponents, but to kind 00:26:18.549 --> 00:26:21.049 of like psych them out, to show a confidence 00:26:21.049 --> 00:26:24.029 that here I am, take everything I've got and 00:26:24.029 --> 00:26:25.789 throw it at this one question that I don't even 00:26:25.789 --> 00:26:29.589 know what the question is. It's like maybe be 00:26:29.589 --> 00:26:32.549 like a byproduct and maybe like maybe a bonus. 00:26:32.609 --> 00:26:37.369 But no, like it's more just based on a strategy 00:26:37.369 --> 00:26:41.269 of kind of maximizing, you know, if I feel like 00:26:41.269 --> 00:26:44.019 I have a good chance of. getting the answer right 00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:47.460 and you know the situation is it's worth a lot 00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:51.319 to kind of have more than double your opponent's 00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.220 score at the end because then you don't have 00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:56.460 to kind of have a lock runaway game and you don't 00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:59.500 have to worry about potentially losing the game 00:26:59.500 --> 00:27:03.500 in final jeopardy right so a lot of times you 00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:05.500 know it makes sense to try to put the game away 00:27:05.500 --> 00:27:10.420 early because the question of the daily double 00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:14.329 will a lot of times be easier than the question 00:27:14.329 --> 00:27:16.750 that you'll have to get right in final jeopardy 00:27:16.750 --> 00:27:19.369 anyway so if you're gonna bet on one or the other 00:27:19.369 --> 00:27:22.809 you might as well you know bet on the daily doubles 00:27:22.809 --> 00:27:25.809 so um yeah it's kind of just if you connect it 00:27:25.809 --> 00:27:28.549 to poker it's just kind of that mindset that 00:27:28.549 --> 00:27:31.009 like well if i'm a big favorite in this hand 00:27:31.009 --> 00:27:32.849 i want to risk all my money you know i want to 00:27:32.849 --> 00:27:35.589 bet all the money i want that the most money 00:27:35.589 --> 00:27:38.170 i possibly can because i know i'm a big favorite 00:27:38.170 --> 00:27:40.890 to win this hand or answer this question correctly 00:27:40.890 --> 00:27:44.009 you know as the case may be well alex in december 00:27:44.009 --> 00:27:46.990 of 2021 you took your jeopardy experience to 00:27:46.990 --> 00:27:49.390 another level and created the school of trivia 00:27:49.390 --> 00:27:52.190 which is both a trivia newsletter and a quiz 00:27:52.190 --> 00:27:54.690 league can you tell the my weekly mixtape listeners 00:27:54.690 --> 00:27:56.450 a little bit about what you're doing over there 00:27:56.450 --> 00:28:00.250 yeah sure so it's on the sub stack monday through 00:28:00.250 --> 00:28:03.930 friday you get a uh email in your inbox that 00:28:03.930 --> 00:28:07.710 um Basically, I write about a trivia topic or 00:28:07.710 --> 00:28:11.869 a famous person or an event or a movie or something 00:28:11.869 --> 00:28:16.349 like that. And then I'll have a five -question 00:28:16.349 --> 00:28:20.390 quiz kind of inspired by that topic, not directly 00:28:20.390 --> 00:28:22.950 based on it, but kind of playing off it in some 00:28:22.950 --> 00:28:26.329 way. Then everyone submits their – there's a 00:28:26.329 --> 00:28:29.589 link to submit your answers, and the answers 00:28:29.589 --> 00:28:32.630 are due at the end of the week. And I score all 00:28:32.630 --> 00:28:36.309 those up. We have a bunch of different skill 00:28:36.309 --> 00:28:38.890 divisions. So you're kind of paired up against 00:28:38.890 --> 00:28:42.150 people who are kind of roughly have the same 00:28:42.150 --> 00:28:46.869 knowledge level as you. And we have a new season 00:28:46.869 --> 00:28:49.809 every month. So kind of we add up the scores 00:28:49.809 --> 00:28:53.250 and the top finishers in each division kind of 00:28:53.250 --> 00:28:56.950 move up and the bottom finishers move down and 00:28:56.950 --> 00:28:58.930 kind of continue like that. It's kind of like 00:28:58.930 --> 00:29:02.670 the Premier League type system of promotion and 00:29:02.670 --> 00:29:05.750 relegation. That's basically how it works. People 00:29:05.750 --> 00:29:09.029 have been giving me a lot of good feedback about 00:29:09.029 --> 00:29:11.190 it. We've been going for, like you said, about 00:29:11.190 --> 00:29:15.349 a little over a year now and got a little over 00:29:15.349 --> 00:29:19.730 300 players at this point. So people are having 00:29:19.730 --> 00:29:21.809 fun with it. It's going well. Fantastic. We'll 00:29:21.809 --> 00:29:23.849 talk about that a little bit more after we go 00:29:23.849 --> 00:29:26.329 through Side B, which I get to kick things off 00:29:26.329 --> 00:29:29.309 with now. And I think I'm going to start off 00:29:29.309 --> 00:29:33.579 Side B with a rock song. That is actually a cover 00:29:33.579 --> 00:29:38.079 and it's by a fictitious band that was created 00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:43.200 for the movie based off of loosely a real band 00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:46.599 in the 1980s. And I'm going to go with 2001's 00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:49.460 Rockstar. Earlier, I mentioned that if you're 00:29:49.460 --> 00:29:52.099 an actor and you have to perform a song in a 00:29:52.099 --> 00:29:56.160 movie, you have to convince me. And Mark Wahlberg. 00:29:56.829 --> 00:29:59.829 I knew he was a musician because of Marky Mark 00:29:59.829 --> 00:30:02.349 and the Funky Bunch. But when I heard he was 00:30:02.349 --> 00:30:07.430 in a rock movie based off of what was the 80s 00:30:07.430 --> 00:30:12.410 Judas Priest story loosely, I wasn't buying in 00:30:12.410 --> 00:30:14.910 on it at first because I said, how is he going 00:30:14.910 --> 00:30:18.089 to pull off an 80s rock star? And sure enough, 00:30:18.190 --> 00:30:23.670 he actually did a bang up job on the part. genuinely 00:30:23.670 --> 00:30:26.910 enjoy this movie, but this fictitious band, Steel 00:30:26.910 --> 00:30:30.670 Dragon, is actually made up of some amazing musicians. 00:30:30.890 --> 00:30:34.309 You had Miljenko Matojevic of Steelheart on vocals, 00:30:34.710 --> 00:30:38.210 Zach Wild of Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne 00:30:38.210 --> 00:30:42.190 on guitar, Jeff Pilsen of Dokken and Farner on 00:30:42.190 --> 00:30:45.609 bass, and Jason Bonham, son of John Bonham, on 00:30:45.609 --> 00:30:50.849 drums. Now, the singer actually originally recorded 00:30:50.849 --> 00:30:55.519 this song We all die young with his band Steelheart, 00:30:55.660 --> 00:30:58.279 who was known for their hair band hit. I'll never 00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:02.819 let you go in 1990, but in 1996 on their album, 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.740 wait, they recorded this song. We all die young. 00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:08.920 And when they made the rock star movie, the song 00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.279 was re -recorded by this all -star band for the 00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:16.660 movie. And Marky Mark did a great job lip syncing 00:31:16.660 --> 00:31:19.619 it because he sold the part. So I'm kicking things 00:31:19.619 --> 00:31:23.730 off with. 2001's Rockstar, and Steel Dragon, 00:31:23.930 --> 00:31:30.130 We All Die Young. All right. Well, I'm going 00:31:30.130 --> 00:31:32.630 to have to look that one up. That's definitely 00:31:32.630 --> 00:31:37.410 a blind spot, both that movie and, I guess, obviously, 00:31:37.589 --> 00:31:39.609 if I haven't seen the movie, I probably wouldn't 00:31:39.609 --> 00:31:43.299 have heard the song. Trying to see. So it's kind 00:31:43.299 --> 00:31:46.460 of like an 80s, 80s rock. Picture a late 80s 00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:49.339 hard rock. Think Poison. Think Warren. Think 00:31:49.339 --> 00:31:53.559 Bon Jovi. That kind of middle ground hair band, 00:31:53.700 --> 00:32:01.150 so to speak. Okay. And Mark Wahlberg. He said 00:32:01.150 --> 00:32:03.029 he really nailed it. He doesn't sing the song, 00:32:03.130 --> 00:32:05.509 obviously. No, he lip synced it, but he lip synced 00:32:05.509 --> 00:32:08.970 it well enough where like George Clooney did 00:32:08.970 --> 00:32:11.690 in the Soggy Bottom Boys, you actually believed, 00:32:12.170 --> 00:32:15.829 you know, he was embodying that role. So it's 00:32:15.829 --> 00:32:19.230 kind of an original song, but not quite. It's 00:32:19.230 --> 00:32:22.990 half and half. Exactly. All right. I have one 00:32:22.990 --> 00:32:28.990 that kind of connects on that basis and not in 00:32:28.990 --> 00:32:33.940 my shell. That's fine. I believe the actors are 00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:39.039 singing this song. And I think they, like Wahlberg, 00:32:39.099 --> 00:32:40.920 although he's not actually singing it, I think 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.460 they nail it too. And this song, it turned out, 00:32:45.460 --> 00:32:48.519 could not be eligible for the Oscars because 00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:50.440 it was not an original song technically because 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:54.880 it had been written first for the director's 00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:59.240 Romeo and Juliet film. It came out earlier, but 00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:02.900 they decided to not use it. I don't know why 00:33:02.900 --> 00:33:06.660 they wrote a song for that movie, if they planned 00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:10.079 Leo to sing, or if it was before they had cast 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:12.619 it, or what the issue was. But for whatever reason, 00:33:12.779 --> 00:33:14.980 the song was written for the Romeo and Juliet 00:33:14.980 --> 00:33:17.680 movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:20.059 They did not use it. It ended up in the movie 00:33:20.059 --> 00:33:23.960 Moulin Rouge, and the song is Come What May. 00:33:24.829 --> 00:33:27.670 performed by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman 00:33:27.670 --> 00:33:32.730 in the movie. And it's one of these songs where 00:33:32.730 --> 00:33:37.190 they kind of repeat the title or the chorus over 00:33:37.190 --> 00:33:39.670 and over again and just like harder and harder 00:33:39.670 --> 00:33:42.250 and harder until it's just like kind of breaking 00:33:42.250 --> 00:33:45.890 your ears and just like the intensity of it. 00:33:45.970 --> 00:33:49.910 Come on, you know, it just keeps going. And I 00:33:49.910 --> 00:33:54.150 feel like it's a semi connection based on the 00:33:54.150 --> 00:33:57.549 half original nature of it. But that's what I 00:33:57.549 --> 00:33:59.950 picked there. Well, I had Moulin Rouge in my 00:33:59.950 --> 00:34:03.569 list, but I had Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, 00:34:03.690 --> 00:34:06.910 Pink and Maya's Lady Marmalade because you couldn't 00:34:06.910 --> 00:34:10.150 escape that song in 2001. But the whole movie 00:34:10.150 --> 00:34:12.650 is filled with fantastic songs. And that's another 00:34:12.650 --> 00:34:15.849 great one from the soundtrack. Actually. like 00:34:15.849 --> 00:34:17.710 that pick more with where we're going, because 00:34:17.710 --> 00:34:20.909 I feel like I have something that I could follow 00:34:20.909 --> 00:34:23.989 that up with. Whereas if it was Lady Marmalade, 00:34:24.130 --> 00:34:26.630 I would have been lost in the water because looking 00:34:26.630 --> 00:34:28.869 through my list, it's a lot of rock music and 00:34:28.869 --> 00:34:31.789 Lady Marmalade was sticking out like a sore thumb. 00:34:31.929 --> 00:34:34.550 So I'm actually kind of thankful that you got 00:34:34.550 --> 00:34:36.969 something else from that movie in. And I'm going 00:34:36.969 --> 00:34:40.090 to go back to the year 2000 again, and I'm going 00:34:40.090 --> 00:34:43.670 to go with another super group of performers. 00:34:44.429 --> 00:34:47.190 This song was written by the movie's director, 00:34:47.429 --> 00:34:50.710 Cameron Crowe, along with Nancy Wilson of Heart. 00:34:50.989 --> 00:34:53.769 And the performers on the track include Pearl 00:34:53.769 --> 00:34:57.289 Jam's Mike McCready as lead guitarist, the aforementioned 00:34:57.289 --> 00:35:00.670 Nancy Wilson on rhythm guitar, and Marty Fredrickson, 00:35:00.690 --> 00:35:03.889 who is an amazing music producer on lead vocals. 00:35:04.170 --> 00:35:07.880 Now, as soon as I say the movie name. Almost 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.320 Famous. Everyone's going to think of Elton John's 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:12.780 Tiny Dancer from that iconic scene in the movie. 00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:16.420 However, I was trying to keep my created for 00:35:16.420 --> 00:35:19.940 the movie parameters that I set for myself. And 00:35:19.940 --> 00:35:23.239 the song that I'm choosing is the quote unquote 00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:26.840 original song Fever Dog by the fictitious band 00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:31.389 Stillwater from the movie Almost Famous. Right. 00:35:31.489 --> 00:35:33.610 I thought about doing something like that. Yeah, 00:35:33.710 --> 00:35:36.710 I thought the same thing about Tiny Dancer. And, 00:35:36.849 --> 00:35:41.250 you know, that song is too famous outside of 00:35:41.250 --> 00:35:45.030 the movie, I think, for my frame. Not quite associated 00:35:45.030 --> 00:35:48.909 enough with the movie, even though you do think 00:35:48.909 --> 00:35:51.030 of that scene when you think of the movie. A 00:35:51.030 --> 00:35:57.010 Fever Dog. Yeah, I remember the movie well. And, 00:35:57.190 --> 00:36:01.699 yeah, great movie, great movie. Really? And I'll 00:36:01.699 --> 00:36:04.380 tell you, I highly recommend they only have it 00:36:04.380 --> 00:36:06.539 on DVD for some reason, but there is a director's 00:36:06.539 --> 00:36:09.820 cut, which, yeah, there's certain movies where 00:36:09.820 --> 00:36:12.079 I'm like, sometimes less is more in a movie, 00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.619 but we're talking Cameron Crowe here. And the 00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:19.179 movie actually with the added scenes, I feel 00:36:19.179 --> 00:36:22.219 like enhances the movie more and kind of brings 00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:25.340 it to the next level where sometimes the director's 00:36:25.340 --> 00:36:28.099 cut, you kind of understand why they trimmed 00:36:28.099 --> 00:36:32.090 it down. for succinctness sometimes, but not 00:36:32.090 --> 00:36:35.769 in this one. Yeah, yeah. I've seen that longer 00:36:35.769 --> 00:36:37.789 version. There's some, there's a couple weird 00:36:37.789 --> 00:36:40.469 things in there. Of course, with everyone. Yeah, 00:36:40.469 --> 00:36:43.670 yeah, yeah. Overall, it's worth it. Cameron Crowe 00:36:43.670 --> 00:36:46.949 had like a great run and then like, he's kind 00:36:46.949 --> 00:36:48.809 of one of these guys who just like completely 00:36:48.809 --> 00:36:50.769 fell off. I mean, who knows? Hopefully he'll 00:36:50.769 --> 00:36:53.010 be back one day. I hope so. He'll be back on 00:36:53.010 --> 00:36:55.750 top. Yeah, yeah. Great director. He's kind of 00:36:55.750 --> 00:36:59.610 in a cold streak right now. We bought a zoo in 00:36:59.610 --> 00:37:06.010 Aloha land. Yep. Okay. So you went with fever 00:37:06.010 --> 00:37:11.530 dog, you know, this is a similar, well, not that 00:37:11.530 --> 00:37:13.610 similar, but this might be the closest thing 00:37:13.610 --> 00:37:19.070 I have kind of a rock vibe. This band I grew 00:37:19.070 --> 00:37:23.110 up with was kind of a local band to my area in 00:37:23.110 --> 00:37:29.449 South Florida. And, um, they, uh, We're part 00:37:29.449 --> 00:37:32.489 of this genre that was real big when I was a 00:37:32.489 --> 00:37:37.250 kid, which is like this pop punk emo type blanch. 00:37:37.389 --> 00:37:42.130 The band is Daspor Confessional, and they put 00:37:42.130 --> 00:37:45.409 together probably one of the more mainstream 00:37:45.409 --> 00:37:48.670 type songs they ever put together. They kind 00:37:48.670 --> 00:37:53.219 of harnessed. all of their like raw emotion that 00:37:53.219 --> 00:37:56.539 is in like their more whinier songs but kind 00:37:56.539 --> 00:37:59.920 of with a more like a song that you could actually 00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:04.139 put as the lead single for you know a movie a 00:38:04.139 --> 00:38:07.139 soundtrack to a movie like spider -man 2 and 00:38:07.139 --> 00:38:10.699 it kind of still works and he sells the vocal 00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:13.920 you know you you believe that he is vindicated 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:17.849 he knew it all along you know I don't know. I 00:38:17.849 --> 00:38:20.170 just remember seeing that one in the theaters. 00:38:20.469 --> 00:38:23.889 And I was like, oh, wow. That's where Confessionals 00:38:23.889 --> 00:38:26.929 got the Song of the Spider -Man movie. Look at 00:38:26.929 --> 00:38:29.869 this. And I don't know. That one hits for me. 00:38:29.909 --> 00:38:32.530 I'm sure this might be a polarizing one. This 00:38:32.530 --> 00:38:34.929 might be a love it or hate it. But I guess I'm 00:38:34.929 --> 00:38:38.070 more of a maximalist. So I'll take all the extra 00:38:38.070 --> 00:38:42.949 emotion and whatever. Well, I love it. I'm a 00:38:42.949 --> 00:38:47.650 big comic book movie fan. Like I said, once a 00:38:47.650 --> 00:38:50.010 movie is chosen, it's off the table. But you 00:38:50.010 --> 00:38:54.469 have removed Spider -Man 2 from the list, which 00:38:54.469 --> 00:38:57.550 means I could easily follow this up. And I'm 00:38:57.550 --> 00:39:00.909 going to follow this up with a song from a few 00:39:00.909 --> 00:39:04.409 years earlier on 2002's Spider -Man soundtrack. 00:39:04.550 --> 00:39:07.199 It's a different movie. So it counts. They both 00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:09.219 came out in the same decade. Sure. Sure. It's 00:39:09.219 --> 00:39:11.800 fair. And following it up, I'm going to go with 00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:15.480 the song was originally on the soundtrack released 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.519 by Corey Taylor alone. And the song is called 00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:24.119 Bother. However, when the song exploded, Stone 00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:27.719 Sour took the song onto their self -titled album, 00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:30.659 which the soundtrack to Spider -Man 1 came out 00:39:30.659 --> 00:39:33.820 in April and Stone Sour released their debut 00:39:33.820 --> 00:39:38.639 album. In August of 2002. But the song Bother 00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:42.019 is such a beautiful acoustic ballad. That when 00:39:42.019 --> 00:39:45.280 you're coming from Slipknot. And you're starting 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.119 this new project. And you can almost tell they 00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:49.760 didn't know if it was going to just be Corey 00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:53.280 Taylor. Or if it was Stone Sour. So on the soundtrack 00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:55.619 it's listed as Corey Taylor. But on the Stone 00:39:55.619 --> 00:39:58.980 Sour album it's a band song. Now I never thought 00:39:58.980 --> 00:40:01.360 these words would come out of my mouth. But the 00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:04.650 Dashboard Confessional song is actually. quote 00:40:04.650 --> 00:40:07.929 -unquote heavier than the Corey Taylor song, 00:40:08.150 --> 00:40:11.929 but it fits the Spider -Man theme, and I love 00:40:11.929 --> 00:40:14.909 the fact that we both had songs from comic book 00:40:14.909 --> 00:40:18.530 movies in this fold, and I feel like following 00:40:18.530 --> 00:40:22.010 up Dashboard Confessional with Corey Taylor and 00:40:22.010 --> 00:40:24.909 Stone Sour just works really well here. So I'm 00:40:24.909 --> 00:40:28.349 going to Spider -Man 1, Corey Taylor, and Bother. 00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:31.280 Oh, I guess. I mean, I knew you were going to 00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:33.940 hit me with the deep cuts, of course. I mean, 00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:37.139 we're in kind of, obviously we're on your turf 00:40:37.139 --> 00:40:41.280 here and this is your world. And so this one 00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.039 is another blind spot for me. I'll definitely 00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.500 admit Corey Taylor bought it. So it's kind of 00:40:46.500 --> 00:40:49.460 an acoustic. Really mellow, really acoustic. 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:55.320 The opposite of Slipknot. Gotcha. Gotcha. All 00:40:55.320 --> 00:41:00.219 right. Well, if we're going. down to chill and 00:41:00.219 --> 00:41:05.179 just kind of a kind of beautiful acoustic song 00:41:05.179 --> 00:41:10.800 kind of lush orchestration i think of this band 00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:15.079 and i had a couple songs from this band that 00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:20.079 i was deciding between and um one of them is 00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:24.139 from the movie vanilla sky and i think it's near 00:41:24.139 --> 00:41:28.130 the end of the movie and just kind of this haunting 00:41:28.130 --> 00:41:30.650 scene. I know I keep using that word, but I guess 00:41:30.650 --> 00:41:32.570 that's the vibe I've chosen for a lot of the, 00:41:32.590 --> 00:41:35.949 talk about another word I keep using. But I didn't 00:41:35.949 --> 00:41:39.329 go with that one. I went with a song also at 00:41:39.329 --> 00:41:44.090 the end of one of my favorite movies called The 00:41:44.090 --> 00:41:48.610 Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. The song is, 00:41:48.670 --> 00:41:52.829 I think it's called Starry Fur, which I believe 00:41:52.829 --> 00:41:56.300 means staring elf. It's by the Van Sigur Rós 00:41:56.300 --> 00:42:00.000 Icelandic band. So this is in the movie. If you've 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:03.739 seen it, it's the scene where they, you know, 00:42:03.739 --> 00:42:06.179 in the movie, they're kind of, Steve Z. Stu, 00:42:06.219 --> 00:42:07.940 played by Bill Murray, is kind of searching for 00:42:07.940 --> 00:42:12.079 this jaguar shark that ate one of his crewmen 00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:14.800 and his friend. You know, they finally encounter 00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:16.860 the jaguar shark at the end of the movie, and 00:42:16.860 --> 00:42:19.699 this song plays, and it's just this beautiful 00:42:19.699 --> 00:42:24.639 moment. At one point, Bill Murray says, I wonder 00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:28.599 if it remembers me. It's this solid moment, everyone 00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:31.880 puts their hands on him. It's hard to explain, 00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:35.139 but I guess if you know the band Sigur Rós, then 00:42:35.139 --> 00:42:38.039 you have an idea of the type of thing I'm talking 00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:41.659 about, but just the really beautifully composed 00:42:41.659 --> 00:42:46.659 song. Certainly is definitely one of Bill Murray's. 00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:48.920 That was when he was doing a lot of stuff like 00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:52.139 the Lost in Translation. He was doing a lot more 00:42:52.139 --> 00:42:57.739 serious stuff, whereas finally post 2010 was 00:42:57.739 --> 00:43:00.320 where he started to dabble back into comedies 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:04.119 again with his little cameo in Zombieland, as 00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:07.820 well as the hit that he did in Ghostbusters Afterlife, 00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:10.860 which was not as much a comedy. But I'm glad 00:43:10.860 --> 00:43:13.449 to see that. He was branching out and doing these 00:43:13.449 --> 00:43:15.630 other movies because they were absolutely fantastic. 00:43:16.889 --> 00:43:19.510 But what I'm going to do now is we've had Dashboard 00:43:19.510 --> 00:43:22.010 Confessional, Stone Sour, and Corey Taylor's 00:43:22.010 --> 00:43:24.690 acoustic. We had Seger Ross. I want to pick back 00:43:24.690 --> 00:43:28.170 up the pace again because we got four songs left. 00:43:28.230 --> 00:43:30.650 We got two picks each. And I want to kind of 00:43:30.650 --> 00:43:32.730 pick the pace up and get us moving again to kind 00:43:32.730 --> 00:43:35.550 of close out with a bang. And I think in order 00:43:35.550 --> 00:43:37.230 to do that, I'm going to go with a song that 00:43:37.230 --> 00:43:40.750 I also talked about. On our sports anthems episode. 00:43:41.150 --> 00:43:45.809 So it's a newer song. And yet. In a short time 00:43:45.809 --> 00:43:52.289 since 2006. It has become. A sports anthem. Mostly 00:43:52.289 --> 00:43:56.429 in the Boston area. But also Notre Dame plays 00:43:56.429 --> 00:43:59.329 this song. And it is from the movie The Departed. 00:43:59.489 --> 00:44:02.190 And I'm going with Dropkick Murphys. I'm shipping 00:44:02.190 --> 00:44:06.539 up to Boston. This song will probably make every 00:44:06.539 --> 00:44:10.219 punk list I do for the decade. It'll make sports 00:44:10.219 --> 00:44:12.659 anthems, and it's definitely making soundtracks. 00:44:12.659 --> 00:44:15.960 It was not recorded for The Departed, so I'm 00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:20.340 breaking my rule here. But the 2000 soundtracks 00:44:20.340 --> 00:44:24.599 were definitely tougher to find original material, 00:44:24.860 --> 00:44:27.719 and I kind of wanted a... pick up the pace a 00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:29.300 little bit and go with something a little heavier. 00:44:29.380 --> 00:44:31.940 So drop kick Murphy's I'm shipping up to Boston 00:44:31.940 --> 00:44:36.019 from the amazing departed. Right. Yeah. That's 00:44:36.019 --> 00:44:40.000 an iconic one for sure. This, that's the bagpipes 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:42.920 come in, right? That, that one. Yeah. This was 00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:44.920 a, this was a tough test coming up with these 00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:47.400 songs. Cause it's not, like you said, it's like. 00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:50.199 I feel like a lot of the ones we've named are 00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:53.320 definitely iconic movie songs, but a lot of these 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:56.119 might struggle to make an all -time list. Like, 00:44:56.119 --> 00:45:00.719 Lose Yourself would, probably, and Man of Constant 00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:02.420 Sorrow, but some of the other ones, maybe not. 00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:05.460 But anyway, still some good music. Yeah, the 00:45:05.460 --> 00:45:08.500 2000s were kind of an anomaly when it comes to 00:45:08.500 --> 00:45:10.929 soundtracks, because at this point... you had 00:45:10.929 --> 00:45:14.429 downloads, you had streaming, and the soundtracks 00:45:14.429 --> 00:45:17.469 were not as much of an event as they were in 00:45:17.469 --> 00:45:20.710 the 70s, 80s, and 90s. So we're kind of following 00:45:20.710 --> 00:45:23.329 that path and you're seeing it come out in these 00:45:23.329 --> 00:45:25.489 songs, but it doesn't mean that they're not great 00:45:25.489 --> 00:45:29.510 songs. However, they weren't as iconically attached 00:45:29.510 --> 00:45:32.809 to the movies as they were in the past. Yeah. 00:45:33.309 --> 00:45:37.320 All right. So I don't really I'm kind of running 00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:41.079 out of picture. He took some of mine and I don't 00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:45.239 know that I really have anything that would really 00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:48.880 follow up with Dropkick Murphy's very well. I 00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:55.280 may have to just do a complete 180. I mean, most 00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:58.320 soundtracks are nothing but 180s. So to have 00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.760 that incorporated in these episodes is perfectly 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:03.590 fine to me because at the end of the day. not 00:46:03.590 --> 00:46:06.329 all soundtracks are stuck to a specific genre. 00:46:06.409 --> 00:46:08.110 And I feel like we've represented that pretty 00:46:08.110 --> 00:46:12.610 well tonight, actually. Yeah. All right. Well, 00:46:12.610 --> 00:46:16.409 you know, if we're, you know, you pick the song 00:46:16.409 --> 00:46:21.090 that went hard, I guess I will, I will go with 00:46:21.090 --> 00:46:26.409 a song. Well, I'm nervous. I only have a couple 00:46:26.409 --> 00:46:30.610 of picks here and I'm nervous. This one, neither 00:46:30.610 --> 00:46:33.650 of these will probably fit with your pick. But 00:46:33.650 --> 00:46:37.570 one of them is more likely that you'll steal 00:46:37.570 --> 00:46:40.309 it. But then I don't think you will steal it, 00:46:40.309 --> 00:46:43.849 really, realistically. So I probably am fine. 00:46:44.469 --> 00:46:47.929 But if you do steal it, I may have to scramble 00:46:47.929 --> 00:46:52.769 and think of another solid grip. Hmm. I guess 00:46:52.769 --> 00:46:55.809 I'll just gamble a little bit and go with this 00:46:55.809 --> 00:46:59.429 one. And like I said, it doesn't really fall 00:46:59.429 --> 00:47:02.130 under the dropkick Murphys. Although, I would 00:47:02.130 --> 00:47:06.059 say... This song does go hard, so maybe it does 00:47:06.059 --> 00:47:09.539 kind of fit along with that. It goes hard, just 00:47:09.539 --> 00:47:14.000 like the Dropkick Murphys go hard. And I guess 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:18.099 I'll just simply say, Charlie, how your angels 00:47:18.099 --> 00:47:21.179 get down like that. It's Independent Women, part 00:47:21.179 --> 00:47:25.639 one, Destiny's Child from Charlie's Angels. You 00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:28.179 know, a number one hit song, just kind of a song 00:47:28.179 --> 00:47:30.760 that... you couldn't really escape at the time. 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.599 Obviously Beyonce went out, went out to, uh, 00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:37.860 greater things, but, and, um, yeah, just, uh, 00:47:37.860 --> 00:47:41.059 kind of a classic from that era, I would say. 00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:45.619 Absolutely. Of course. 100%. And look, even though 00:47:45.619 --> 00:47:48.670 it's a pop song. Destiny's Child went hard. You 00:47:48.670 --> 00:47:50.469 think about songs like Survivor, you think about 00:47:50.469 --> 00:47:53.050 songs like this. Like, I get what you're saying. 00:47:53.130 --> 00:47:56.530 They do go hard in a different style. So I love 00:47:56.530 --> 00:47:58.869 the pick, actually, coming out of Dropkick Murphys, 00:47:58.889 --> 00:48:01.309 because I do look at the list and there's not 00:48:01.309 --> 00:48:03.929 a lot of female artists represented, not a ton. 00:48:04.230 --> 00:48:06.150 And so I'm glad we're finally getting, you had 00:48:06.150 --> 00:48:09.769 Nicole Kidman. And Evanescence. That's true. 00:48:09.969 --> 00:48:12.230 So I'm glad to see that. And I think I'm going 00:48:12.230 --> 00:48:15.530 to follow it up with another female artist who 00:48:15.530 --> 00:48:21.170 the band has delved into pop more recently. However, 00:48:21.289 --> 00:48:24.630 when you rewind back, I'm going to go with when 00:48:24.630 --> 00:48:26.630 they were a little bit more on the rock side 00:48:26.630 --> 00:48:29.530 of the spectrum. And I'm going to say the truth. 00:48:29.710 --> 00:48:31.690 I've never seen this movie. And as soon as I 00:48:31.690 --> 00:48:34.170 say it, your immediate response is going to be 00:48:34.170 --> 00:48:36.719 like. sure you haven't seen that movie brian 00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:40.760 but the movie is 2008's twilight i kid you not 00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:43.079 i have never seen it but i do own the soundtrack 00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:46.539 and i own the soundtrack for a couple of songs 00:48:46.539 --> 00:48:51.210 but the reason i bought it was decode by paramore 00:48:51.210 --> 00:48:55.809 i absolutely love hayley williams voice and she's 00:48:55.809 --> 00:48:59.409 done stuff with bob she did airplanes and if 00:48:59.409 --> 00:49:01.710 you listen to paramore's newer music it's definitely 00:49:01.710 --> 00:49:04.809 more pop oriented so i feel like coming out of 00:49:04.809 --> 00:49:07.510 destiny's child another powerful female vocalist 00:49:07.510 --> 00:49:10.250 goes really well here and you know the twilight 00:49:10.250 --> 00:49:12.550 movies i hope i hope that's not the one i'm stealing 00:49:12.550 --> 00:49:14.769 i hope that wasn't your your closer because this 00:49:14.769 --> 00:49:18.239 was definitely a big And when I had Collective 00:49:18.239 --> 00:49:20.920 Soul on the show, Will Turpin was talking about 00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:23.480 Tremble for My Beloved, which came from this 00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:27.980 album. And we talked about the fact that Twilight 00:49:27.980 --> 00:49:32.699 was one of your last tentpole soundtracks that 00:49:32.699 --> 00:49:35.760 everybody was running out to get that wasn't 00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:38.460 a Disney movie. And it's really true. This was 00:49:38.460 --> 00:49:41.800 the last time a movie soundtrack was really sought 00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:46.119 after, not. Withstanding musicals like in the 00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:49.360 2010s, The Greatest Showman and stuff like that. 00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.260 And then obviously Frozen and Moana and your 00:49:52.260 --> 00:49:55.139 Disney movies. But Twilight was the last big 00:49:55.139 --> 00:49:58.880 original music for a soundtrack soundtrack, if 00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:03.579 that makes sense. Oh, yeah. I mean, I may shock 00:50:03.579 --> 00:50:06.420 you. I haven't seen it either. All right. At 00:50:06.420 --> 00:50:10.559 least I'm not alone. Yeah, I don't say that proudly 00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:13.369 or anything because I actually. You know, I hear 00:50:13.369 --> 00:50:16.070 that, you know, people are kind of reclaiming 00:50:16.070 --> 00:50:18.849 those movies and they just, you know, kind of 00:50:18.849 --> 00:50:21.869 say they're fun. And maybe I will, you know, 00:50:21.869 --> 00:50:24.469 get to them at some point. But for whatever reason, 00:50:24.590 --> 00:50:28.590 yeah, I never had the sense of urgency to see 00:50:28.590 --> 00:50:32.929 those either. But I love Paramore. I'm going 00:50:32.929 --> 00:50:35.489 to have to check out that song. Oh, it's fantastic. 00:50:35.690 --> 00:50:37.730 It could be my favorite song from them. I probably 00:50:37.730 --> 00:50:39.829 heard it. I probably heard it. And I just don't 00:50:39.829 --> 00:50:42.530 know it by the title. It's not one of those songs 00:50:42.530 --> 00:50:46.789 where the title is used in the song. So I'm almost 00:50:46.789 --> 00:50:48.929 positive if you're a fan of Paramore, you know 00:50:48.929 --> 00:50:51.510 this song. It's a little slower, a little heavier, 00:50:51.730 --> 00:50:54.429 a little melodic. So I feel like it still fits 00:50:54.429 --> 00:50:56.630 the vibe that we're actually creating throughout 00:50:56.630 --> 00:51:01.150 Side B here. But now you have the, as the honor 00:51:01.150 --> 00:51:04.210 of kicking things off, which you did in grand 00:51:04.210 --> 00:51:06.849 style with Eminem's Lose Yourself from 8 Mile, 00:51:06.949 --> 00:51:10.539 you get to close this out tonight. with the final 00:51:10.539 --> 00:51:13.659 song of the night okay so you said it's this 00:51:13.659 --> 00:51:16.619 is paramour but it's more it's slower and and 00:51:16.619 --> 00:51:19.960 uh more melodic but it's still still kind of 00:51:19.960 --> 00:51:23.119 upbeat or it's it's slower and heavier for sure 00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:26.679 but it's it's it's it's more of a melodic emo 00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:31.480 power ballad if that makes sense oh all right 00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:35.079 well i guess well what is your philosophy if 00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:39.460 i could end it on a up note or a chill you would 00:51:39.460 --> 00:51:43.280 want to more end it on an up right sure you think 00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:49.400 or or because i have like a more chill one it's 00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:53.340 like it's kind of like uh doesn't really move 00:51:53.340 --> 00:51:57.099 the needle well let's move that needle then all 00:51:57.099 --> 00:51:59.900 right well actually i guess i have one that would 00:51:59.900 --> 00:52:04.719 kind of fit the slower and heavier but That kind 00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:06.099 of way it's, I mean, that's kind of the vibe 00:52:06.099 --> 00:52:08.059 we got on the back half, right? I guess that's 00:52:08.059 --> 00:52:11.019 just more of the same, right? Yeah. Yeah. I guess 00:52:11.019 --> 00:52:13.539 I'm trying to think if I should go forward with 00:52:13.539 --> 00:52:16.139 the, the dropkick Murphy's independent women 00:52:16.139 --> 00:52:23.079 vibe or the, uh, cigar Ross type vibe. All right. 00:52:23.099 --> 00:52:25.039 I'll just go with this. It's kind of a slower 00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:27.619 and heavier song, but it's, uh, I think it's 00:52:27.619 --> 00:52:32.639 a good one. Artist is back. song is everybody's 00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:35.519 got to learn sometime from one of my favorite 00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:37.760 movies probably of all time eternal sunshine 00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:41.780 on the spotless mind yeah just one of those where 00:52:41.780 --> 00:52:46.019 the chorus just hits you and yeah it's kind of 00:52:46.019 --> 00:52:49.860 more of a downbeat thing maybe it's not the best 00:52:49.860 --> 00:52:54.760 to end the uh the album with but uh It kind of 00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:58.059 goes with what we're going with here. The moment 00:52:58.059 --> 00:53:00.780 of the song. Do you know the song? Yeah, I'm 00:53:00.780 --> 00:53:03.159 a fan of Beck. I think that's a great way to 00:53:03.159 --> 00:53:05.039 click. Because this side is a little bit more 00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:07.800 rock leaning. It's a little bit. There's some 00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:11.500 downer. I don't want to say down as in downtrodden, 00:53:11.500 --> 00:53:13.659 but there's some definitely slower songs on this 00:53:13.659 --> 00:53:16.059 side. It's a little more introspective. And I 00:53:16.059 --> 00:53:18.840 love this pick to close it, especially coming 00:53:18.840 --> 00:53:20.679 out of Paramore. I think it works really well. 00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:22.840 Well, thank you. I appreciate it. You're very 00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:26.260 positive, Brian.
