Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, 00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.620 a podcast that takes the classic mixtape approach 00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:33.520 to building a modern playlist. I'm your host, 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.899 Brian Colburn. Joining me for tonight's collaboration 00:00:35.899 --> 00:00:38.799 is Michael Citro, host of Michael's Record Collection. 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.159 Michael, thank you so much for joining me tonight. 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.640 Thanks for having me, Brian. It's always great 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.619 to talk music with you. Likewise, I'm looking 00:00:45.619 --> 00:00:47.859 forward to this. So, Michael, I like to start 00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:50.299 every episode with the same question. What does 00:00:50.299 --> 00:00:54.579 the word mixtape mean to you? It means the entirety 00:00:54.579 --> 00:00:57.939 of my junior high and high school life, basically, 00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:02.219 and a lot of my college life, too. I don't know 00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:05.000 how many mixtapes I've made in my life, but I 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.200 can tell you that probably I kept the TDK and 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.819 Maxell companies afloat for a good portion of 00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:15.799 the 80s and into the 90s. I still have, I think, 00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:18.939 some unopened TDK 90 -minute tapes in the closet 00:01:18.939 --> 00:01:23.430 over here. It's I would make one for every mood. 00:01:23.510 --> 00:01:26.370 I would make one for bands that I liked. I would 00:01:26.370 --> 00:01:28.409 make all kinds of things. I would obviously you 00:01:28.409 --> 00:01:30.930 make them for girls because, you know, that's 00:01:30.930 --> 00:01:32.790 that's the I think the whole reason they were 00:01:32.790 --> 00:01:36.769 invented. I believe that the last one I made 00:01:36.769 --> 00:01:41.510 was probably in the early 2000s and it was a 00:01:41.510 --> 00:01:44.510 Led Zeppelin acoustic songs mixtape. I just took 00:01:44.510 --> 00:01:47.859 all the ones with the acoustic. and I made one 00:01:47.859 --> 00:01:50.659 mixtape of Led Zeppelin songs that were acoustic. 00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:53.480 And that's the last one that I remember making. 00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:55.120 I may have made another one, but that's the last 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.540 one I remember doing. Well, tonight you're going 00:01:57.540 --> 00:02:01.060 to be making one all over again. Although at 00:02:01.060 --> 00:02:02.840 the end of the day, we're not recording these 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:04.879 songs in real time, but we're going to take that 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.980 approach to making a mixtape and we're going 00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:10.939 to do it collaboratively together. Tonight, Michael 00:02:10.939 --> 00:02:13.419 and I will be curating a mixtape featuring the 00:02:13.419 --> 00:02:17.710 songs of 1983. which, and I can't believe I'm 00:02:17.710 --> 00:02:22.629 saying this, turns 40 years old this year. For 00:02:22.629 --> 00:02:25.909 clarification, we're choosing songs from albums 00:02:25.909 --> 00:02:30.210 that were released in 1983. So if a single was 00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:33.530 huge in 1983, but it came from an album released 00:02:33.530 --> 00:02:38.310 in 1982, it doesn't count, which unfortunately 00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:42.889 kills the most obvious choice right from the 00:02:42.889 --> 00:02:46.620 jump. which is Michael Jackson's Thriller. It 00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:51.039 was easily 1983's biggest album, but it was released 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:59.259 on November 29th, 1982. So boo, I know, I know. 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.159 For me, 1983 really felt like one of the defining 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.280 years of my musical youth. There are so many 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:10.520 great songs that truly shaped where I stand musically 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:17.599 today. ridiculously hard to whittle down my bank 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.020 of songs and i'm sitting here right now with 00:03:20.020 --> 00:03:25.560 25 and i know after the 10 that i picked makes 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.439 the mix i'm gonna be feeling sick over the 15 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.659 that didn't but michael i'm kind of curious how 00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:33.860 easy was it for you to whittle down your bank 00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:37.960 of songs tonight and how much guilt do you already 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.710 feel for the songs that may not make it Well, 00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:43.909 I'm kind of laughing at you narrowing it down 00:03:43.909 --> 00:03:46.229 to 25 and talking about the 15 you're going to 00:03:46.229 --> 00:03:48.830 leave off. Because when you asked me to do this, 00:03:48.870 --> 00:03:52.009 I started with my 1983 playlist on Spotify, which 00:03:52.009 --> 00:03:56.289 has almost 400 songs in it. And I was pretty 00:03:56.289 --> 00:03:59.770 surprised I got down to 100 songs in my bank 00:03:59.770 --> 00:04:03.770 by recording day. So 1983, when you talk about 00:04:03.770 --> 00:04:06.669 this year, Brian, that's the end of my junior 00:04:06.669 --> 00:04:09.199 year of high school. And the beginning of my 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:10.860 senior year in high school, that is the music 00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:13.819 that lives with you for your life. That is the 00:04:13.819 --> 00:04:16.259 music that is ingrained in your DNA. You never 00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:18.759 forget it. You hear two notes of something and 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.980 you know instantly the name of the song, the 00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:23.980 artist, the album it came from, maybe the record 00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:27.259 company, maybe the video and where you first 00:04:27.259 --> 00:04:30.120 heard it. That's the kind of attachment you have 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.620 to the songs that you sort of latched on to later 00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:36.600 in your high school career. Awesome. Well, with 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.339 that being said, let's get down to business. 00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:41.180 Tonight, as I mentioned earlier, Michael and 00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:44.980 I will be curating a Songs of 1983 mixtape, and 00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:47.480 we'll use the old cassette deck approach, meaning 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.740 our mixtape will be broken up into two sides, 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.519 Side A and Side B. Michael, as my special guest, 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.819 will begin Side A with his first song choice, 00:04:56.019 --> 00:04:58.939 and then I'll add a song that I feel best follows 00:04:58.939 --> 00:05:01.540 up his choice. We'll then flip -flop choosing 00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:04.319 songs until we've mapped out the 10 songs for 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.269 Side A. We'll then give our mixtape a proverbial 00:05:07.269 --> 00:05:10.329 flip and we'll map out side B. Only this time, 00:05:10.350 --> 00:05:12.829 I'll kick the side off with Michael following 00:05:12.829 --> 00:05:15.910 up. Our overall goal for this episode is to craft 00:05:15.910 --> 00:05:19.850 the best Songs of 1983 mixtape possible using 00:05:19.850 --> 00:05:22.850 only 20 songs. And at the end of the show, you 00:05:22.850 --> 00:05:25.230 can take our conversation to the next level by 00:05:25.230 --> 00:05:29.430 visiting the Songs of 1983 page at myweeklymixtape 00:05:29.430 --> 00:05:32.829 .com and give our final mixtape a listen via 00:05:32.829 --> 00:05:35.850 the embedded playlist. Finally, if you like what 00:05:35.850 --> 00:05:37.990 you're hearing on the show, please consider becoming 00:05:37.990 --> 00:05:41.550 a Patreon mixtaper at patreon .com forward slash 00:05:41.550 --> 00:05:45.209 myweeklymixtape.

Musical 00:06:02.449 --> 00:06:04.709 food for thought. Hell, maybe some of these are 00:06:04.709 --> 00:06:06.029 going to be the songs we're going to be talking 00:06:06.029 --> 00:06:09.230 about shortly.

Now 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.279 right there alone, Michael, that is a fantastic 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:22.139 1983 mixtape in and of itself. But with those 00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:25.319 picks now floating in the atmosphere, I'm officially 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.540 pressing the record button on our mixtape. And 00:07:28.540 --> 00:07:31.019 the floor is yours. Why don't you dive into the 00:07:31.019 --> 00:07:34.439 song you chose to kick things off tonight? All 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.339 right. Well, I'm glad that the song I chose to 00:07:36.339 --> 00:07:39.560 kick off Side A is not one of the many that you 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.500 just listed. I was worried someone was going 00:07:41.500 --> 00:07:46.319 to steal my thunder. The 1980s were such an amazing 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.360 time for music. The early 80s when MTV was in 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.860 fashion and you might have a metal song followed 00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:55.899 by a reggae song, followed by a punk song, followed 00:07:55.899 --> 00:07:58.660 by, who knows, a poppy song. There was a little 00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:01.740 bit of everything going on. So I thought, it's 00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:04.019 a mixtape, so you want to start off with something 00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:06.600 high energy. You want to start off with something 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.939 that's going to really get you going. But it's 00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:10.319 the 80s, so I want a little bit of everything. 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.759 So I'm not just going hard rock or metal here. 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.860 I need to have a little bit of pop in it. I need 00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:19.480 to have a little bit of maybe attitude. I know 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.220 you like your punk, so maybe a little bit of 00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:24.439 punk flavor to it. A little sneer. And nothing 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:29.209 says all of that to me. as much as Billy Idol's 00:08:29.209 --> 00:08:34.330 Rebel Yell. Yes. You got the guitar hero, Steve 00:08:34.330 --> 00:08:36.509 Stevens. You got the poppiness in it. You got 00:08:36.509 --> 00:08:40.129 the trademark Billy Idol sneer. It's got a little 00:08:40.129 --> 00:08:41.889 bit of everything. I think it's the perfect song 00:08:41.889 --> 00:08:46.350 to kick off a 1983 mixtape. Well, you scooped 00:08:46.350 --> 00:08:48.330 me on that one, which is great because it makes 00:08:48.330 --> 00:08:51.350 my list a little easier because that is the exact 00:08:51.350 --> 00:08:54.490 song I had. I love talking about cover songs. 00:08:54.610 --> 00:08:56.980 That song's been covered a lot. Drowning Pool 00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:59.980 did it about 10 years ago. And more recently, 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.279 Queensryche did a cover of the song on their 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.659 latest album, which is actually really interesting. 00:09:06.259 --> 00:09:08.899 Oh, I'd like to hear that. It's very faithful 00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:11.419 to the original, but still has a Queensryche 00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:15.399 vibe to it. But going back to the original, that 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.919 song is timeless. It's 40 years old this year. 00:09:19.059 --> 00:09:22.139 And if you start that up, I don't care what age 00:09:22.139 --> 00:09:24.679 you are. Your head's moving. You're getting into 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:29.049 it. The song. Absolutely rocks. And it's one 00:09:29.049 --> 00:09:33.210 of those songs that, thankfully, 40 years from 00:09:33.210 --> 00:09:36.730 now will still be looked at with the same feeling 00:09:36.730 --> 00:09:41.049 as I hope we have for that song today. It's got 00:09:41.049 --> 00:09:43.789 everything. The guys will get into it. The headbangers 00:09:43.789 --> 00:09:46.570 like it. The pop fans like it. Everybody sings 00:09:46.570 --> 00:09:50.210 along with it. It is just anthemic. And like 00:09:50.210 --> 00:09:52.429 I said, I couldn't think. I thought long and 00:09:52.429 --> 00:09:54.769 hard about the first track because it's what... 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.139 kind of starts the whole thing and sets the mood. 00:09:57.539 --> 00:10:01.399 And you have to have a great first track on any 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.039 mixtape. And I thought that was the right one 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.799 to do. Anybody that needs to know the rules of 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.840 a mixtape just needs to go and watch High Fidelity. 00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:12.279 Exactly. Well, I want to follow that up now. 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.700 And I'm going to follow it up with a song that's 00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:19.539 not as high energy, but is a fist pumper. Because 00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:22.240 after you got that rocking open, you want to 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.159 have a song where everybody is in unison, pumping 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.080 their fists in the air and screaming at the top 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.600 of their lungs. And in 1983, we've got a lot 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.460 of songs that would fall under that category. 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.220 But I am going to go with the title track from 00:10:37.220 --> 00:10:41.340 Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil. I want this 00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:44.559 thing to be picked up in intensity. I want this 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.919 to be picked up in the rock vein. And that song 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:53.059 screams 1983. It's the glam look of Motley Crue. 00:10:53.690 --> 00:10:56.289 it was a different motley crew than you heard 00:10:56.289 --> 00:10:58.590 on too fast for love which was a little bit more 00:10:58.590 --> 00:11:01.570 punk -esque a little bit more raw a little bit 00:11:01.570 --> 00:11:05.590 more 70s glam shout out the devil solidified 00:11:05.590 --> 00:11:08.809 motley crew as the band that everybody knows 00:11:08.809 --> 00:11:12.960 is motley crew it is their real And I want to 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.700 give a shout out to Eric, Time to Get Ill, and 00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:18.480 The Shane and I Show, who both chimed in with 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.019 this one. I can't think of a better song to follow 00:11:21.019 --> 00:11:23.220 up Rebel Yell with than Motley Crue's Shout at 00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:25.340 the Devil. It's a great one. We're keeping the 00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:28.840 fist pumping going. Our fist was raised in the 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.460 air already. It's going to continue to be raised 00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:32.580 in the air. I can't tell you how many adults 00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:35.960 I had to explain the fact that they're not satanic. 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.659 They're shouting at the devil. They're actually 00:11:37.659 --> 00:11:40.570 shouting at him. So it's not a satanic thing. 00:11:40.789 --> 00:11:43.070 You know, these are the kinds of things you have 00:11:43.070 --> 00:11:45.690 to do in the Midwest sometimes. But yeah, but 00:11:45.690 --> 00:11:48.350 what about 10 years earlier when Van Halen was 00:11:48.350 --> 00:11:50.870 running with? I guess that must have been even 00:11:50.870 --> 00:11:54.789 worse. It probably was. I think they just never 00:11:54.789 --> 00:11:57.090 took David Lee Roth as seriously for some reason. 00:11:57.309 --> 00:12:00.549 It's a shame. Maybe it was the fact that Motley 00:12:00.549 --> 00:12:02.850 Crue had some of the imagery. Van Halen didn't 00:12:02.850 --> 00:12:04.690 have any of that type of imagery. They were, 00:12:04.690 --> 00:12:07.159 you know, they're laid back. california look 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.159 they didn't really have the pentagram and the 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.600 the black clothes and stuff as much yeah and 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.580 when you think about like the too fast for love 00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:16.059 era it wasn't as solidified it was a little more 00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:20.039 glam looking a little bit more of the 70s style 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.320 which i keep saying punk but to me too fast for 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.559 love is the punkiest motley crew album there 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.460 is but shout at the devil really leaned into 00:12:28.460 --> 00:12:31.200 the hard rock scope of things and i think that's 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.200 really where mick mars put his stamp on the band 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.240 sound Yeah, I agree with that. I think that's 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:40.519 accurate. Too Fast for Love and Shout at the 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.440 Devil, obviously you're going to tell it's the 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.740 same band, but it's definitely a new direction 00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:46.399 and they're starting to find their legs a little 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:49.820 bit more. Yeah, yeah. So now this tape is starting 00:12:49.820 --> 00:12:52.559 to find its legs and I'm throwing it back to 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.860 you to follow that one up. All right. Well, after 00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:57.779 a couple of rockers, I think we've got to pull 00:12:57.779 --> 00:13:00.559 it back a little bit. So I'm going to go mid 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.330 -tempo for the third track. but I still want 00:13:04.330 --> 00:13:06.649 it to rock a little bit. I don't want it to have 00:13:06.649 --> 00:13:08.730 like you just fall off the table and have this 00:13:08.730 --> 00:13:11.610 big shift. So I'm going to go with a little bit 00:13:11.610 --> 00:13:13.909 of a mid -tempo rocker and I'm going to go with 00:13:13.909 --> 00:13:16.590 the title track from Bryan Adams, Cuts Like a 00:13:16.590 --> 00:13:20.409 Knife. All right. Fantastic song. I managed to 00:13:20.409 --> 00:13:24.129 go see Bryan actually the same day as Live Aid, 00:13:24.269 --> 00:13:26.490 which was awesome. He had played in Philadelphia 00:13:26.490 --> 00:13:30.250 and then he flew into Ohio and I saw him at this 00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:33.740 outdoor. It was really a cool thing because I 00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:35.879 got to see him on TV and then I got to see him 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.139 in person. And Brian's music, especially that 00:13:39.139 --> 00:13:43.019 album, just was fantastic. The songwriting was 00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:45.980 great. The playing was great. You had these raspy 00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:49.360 vocals. And I think every single track on that 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:53.539 album is just killer. It's one of those patented 00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:56.019 all killer, no filler albums. And I like the 00:13:56.019 --> 00:13:57.919 way that this kind of takes the mixtape down 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.320 a little bit from where it was. but not completely 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.659 falling off the table and doing just a heartfelt 00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:07.500 light rock ballad. I agree. That's a great follow 00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:09.519 -up. Cuts Like a Knife, by the way, if you haven't 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.360 seen the meme that goes around using the Cuts 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.879 Like a Knife CD on a pizza, you should definitely 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:18.340 look that one up. I know it's stupid, but every 00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:21.200 time someone says it to me, I chuckle because 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.980 it really is like dad joke personified, and I 00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:27.240 love it. As a whole, that's actually a fantastic 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:31.720 pick. I know Hector Contreras had chimed in earlier 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.399 at the top of the episode I had mentioned with 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.779 The Only One, but I think with where we're going, 00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:39.159 Cuts Like a Knife follows up Motley Crue nicely 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.440 because I could actually hear those two songs 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.940 being played on one of the New York radio stations 00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:47.860 back to back, and it wouldn't seem like too much 00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:51.500 of a far stretch. The Only One was actually on 00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:55.200 my bank of songs, and I just felt like... And 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.179 actually, I like that song better than Cuts Like 00:14:57.179 --> 00:14:58.399 a Knife. I just feel like when you're making 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.659 a mixtape like this, at some point you got to 00:15:00.659 --> 00:15:03.700 change the energy slightly and take it in a little 00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:05.539 bit different direction. Otherwise, you're just 00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:08.039 kind of, you know, you're always peaked at the 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.700 same time. It's like those brick walled recordings 00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:13.080 where everything is like maxed out on the noise 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.519 level and you never get that break. And there 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.320 could be a little fatigue set in. So I like to 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:19.799 give you a little break, pull it back just a 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.740 little bit. Yeah, a little bit of dynamics in 00:15:21.740 --> 00:15:24.279 the mix. I like where you're going. Well, following 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.600 up Brian Adams, I think I could stay in that 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.700 vein and still keep this going with that rock 00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:33.879 feel, even though this is a little more poppy, 00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:37.539 especially compared to Billy Idol and Motley 00:15:37.539 --> 00:15:41.720 Crue. But coming out of Brian Adams, I could 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:44.980 go with a cover song, which I love because I 00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:46.820 love my cover songs. And I'll tell you right 00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:51.039 now, when I mentioned the song name. Music nerds 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.519 will immediately know that it is a cover, but 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.340 for the average Joe music listener, they might 00:15:58.340 --> 00:16:01.240 not even know that one year earlier, a band called 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.460 the bus boys on their American worker album released 00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:08.039 this song and it didn't really go anywhere. But 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.220 a year later, Huey Lewis in the news turned it 00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:14.200 into a massive hit for the album sports. And 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.870 that song is heart and soul. One of the more 00:16:17.870 --> 00:16:21.309 rocking tunes on sports. It's got enough guitar 00:16:21.309 --> 00:16:23.429 heft that I feel like coming out of cuts like 00:16:23.429 --> 00:16:27.690 a knife. It still keeps telling that story. And 00:16:27.690 --> 00:16:31.110 when you think about the sound of sports as an 00:16:31.110 --> 00:16:34.909 album, it has a lot of the horn sections. It 00:16:34.909 --> 00:16:38.450 has a lot of that big Huey Lewis sound and heart 00:16:38.450 --> 00:16:42.049 and soul is just a straight ahead rocking chorus. 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:44.899 which I think speaks to where we're headed with 00:16:44.899 --> 00:16:48.259 this tape so far more than the heart of rock 00:16:48.259 --> 00:16:49.860 and roll, which would have been a great, like, 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.779 let's say side to opener, which I had kind of 00:16:52.779 --> 00:16:55.379 sitting in my bank there, but coming out of Brian 00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:58.059 Adams, Huey Lewis in the news, heart and soul. 00:16:58.259 --> 00:17:00.639 I like it. I had some Huey Lewis in the bank 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.759 and that was. That was, I think, one of my last 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:05.660 cuts. I still had a Huey Lewis song in the bank, 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.960 but that was one of my last cuts that I just 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.359 did this afternoon at the office. So, yeah, I 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.420 like the way it's flowing now. You get the cuts 00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:14.339 like a knife. Heart and soul, you're right. A 00:17:14.339 --> 00:17:16.720 little more poppy. Going to introduce some horns 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.519 here. And it's going to make for a nice flow 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:21.420 because then I know exactly where I need to take 00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:23.960 this mixtape from here. All right, well, let's 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.519 hear it. All right, so staying with a song that's... 00:17:26.859 --> 00:17:29.180 A bit rocky, but getting maybe a little more 00:17:29.180 --> 00:17:32.160 leaning into the pop. I think that a good one 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.720 to go here is Rick Springfield's Human Touch. 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:38.880 It introduced a little bit more keyboard into 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.539 the rock. And there's a lot of ways you can go 00:17:41.539 --> 00:17:44.319 from this point on. You can go back to the guitars. 00:17:44.420 --> 00:17:47.099 You can go more synth. And this is one of my 00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:50.180 favorite Rick Springfield songs. I think at the 00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:51.920 time they thought it was going to be really... 00:17:52.589 --> 00:17:54.589 especially if you go back and watch the video 00:17:54.589 --> 00:17:58.789 and it's really, really a cheesy video. But at 00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:01.829 the time we were all like, yeah, that's what 00:18:01.829 --> 00:18:04.269 it's going to be like in the future. And now 00:18:04.269 --> 00:18:05.990 we're in the future and it's nothing like this. 00:18:07.349 --> 00:18:10.109 Wow. Rick Springfield. That's tough. Cause I'm 00:18:10.109 --> 00:18:11.769 scrolling through my list and trying to find 00:18:11.769 --> 00:18:15.789 something that comes out of that. Huh? You know 00:18:15.789 --> 00:18:17.549 what? I think I'm going to lean a little bit 00:18:17.549 --> 00:18:21.059 more into the synth a little bit here, but. the 00:18:21.059 --> 00:18:26.119 song has a drive that screams rock and yeah i 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.319 think i'm gonna go with it i'm gonna go off of 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.460 speaking in tongues i'm gonna go with talking 00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:35.119 heads burning down the house okay it's got a 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:37.740 rock drive to it even though it's a little bit 00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:40.619 more synthy a little bit more new wave But that 00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:43.259 song has that thump that takes you through it 00:18:43.259 --> 00:18:45.940 that still maintains that edge that I feel like 00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:48.880 this tape has so far. And I want to give a shout 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.240 out to McMarmots who chimed in with this one. 00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:54.039 And plus, it just gives me a good excuse to bring 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:56.759 up Revenge of the Nerds when they're doing fireballs 00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.839 in the house and the guy turns around and blows 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:02.079 out the lighter and then this song is playing. 00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:06.259 This song's fantastic. It's probably my favorite 00:19:06.259 --> 00:19:10.950 Talking Heads song. Somehow to go from Billy 00:19:10.950 --> 00:19:12.990 Idol and Motley Crue to Talking Heads and have 00:19:12.990 --> 00:19:14.849 it still make sense right now is pretty damn 00:19:14.849 --> 00:19:17.690 cool. So I am going with Talking Heads, Burning 00:19:17.690 --> 00:19:21.529 Down the House. Okay, I like it. And that scene 00:19:21.529 --> 00:19:23.190 in the movie was funny. It was a little bit on 00:19:23.190 --> 00:19:27.769 the nose to have that song playing. Yeah, good 00:19:27.769 --> 00:19:31.019 stuff. I think this is a great first. aside to 00:19:31.019 --> 00:19:33.700 this so far and we have kept it from going off 00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:35.339 the rails, but maybe it's going to start going 00:19:35.339 --> 00:19:36.460 off the rails. I don't know. Cause I'm going 00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:38.579 to, I'm going to leave a little bit more into 00:19:38.579 --> 00:19:41.920 the synth because it was 1983 after all. And 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:48.779 I think a good song to pivot to here is real 00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:53.700 life. Send me an angel. Wow. I think this is 00:19:53.700 --> 00:19:56.359 a song that doesn't get enough play. I like to 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:58.519 go deeper cuts, even though this was a hit song 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.640 and a single. I think it's not one that would 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:04.519 immediately leap into people's minds. So as a 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.119 guy who appreciates deeper cuts, I kind of have 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.619 to have at least one or two songs, even on a 00:20:09.619 --> 00:20:13.599 mixtape full of very famous and very... highly 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:16.119 rotated songs throughout the lifetime of these 00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.400 songs. I like to have something that maybe hasn't 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.900 gotten as much airplay. So I think when you get 00:20:20.900 --> 00:20:23.119 into talking heads and you get burning down the 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:27.279 house, you get that. And I think that that will 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.480 pivot nicely into real life. Send me an angel. 00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:32.640 And I, I just adore that Heartland album from 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:34.480 real life. I think that it's a shame that it 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.420 didn't do better in this country. Yeah, that's 00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:39.599 a fantastic pick, but man, I'm looking at my 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:43.160 songs and trying to come out of that is. That's 00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:46.960 tough. But you know what? The one thing this 00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:50.119 side is missing, we need the female voice to 00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:53.119 be heard on this mix as well. And I think coming 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:57.920 out of real life, I think you have to go with 00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:59.420 the Eurythmics. And I'm going to go with the 00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:02.720 title track, Sweet Dreams Are Made of This, with 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.880 a shout out to my friend Coley Green. I feel 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:07.980 like coming out of real life, this is the song 00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:10.839 to do it. It still has that energy. It still 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.339 has that. rock vibe, even though it's poppier. 00:21:14.859 --> 00:21:17.160 Eurythmics rocked, man. They really did. They 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.539 had a rock edge to their sound. And Annie Lennox's 00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:25.079 voice is perfection. And in this song, obviously 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.079 you think about the cover that Marilyn Manson 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:31.880 did a decade later, but this song wound up on 00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:35.500 rock stations, on pop stations, on MTV. It crossed 00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:38.039 a lot of boundaries and across a lot of barriers. 00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:40.240 And coming out of real life, it's the only one 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.900 on my list that actually makes sense. So Eurythmics, 00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:46.819 sweet dreams. It's amazing that you picked that 00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:48.960 because while you were talking about burning 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:51.579 down the house, I really had narrowed it down. 00:21:51.619 --> 00:21:53.660 I'm not even kidding. I narrowed it down to real 00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:56.500 life or Eurythmics, that exact song. That is 00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:59.359 amazing. Awesome. So we're kind of on the same 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.240 wavelength. So that makes it a very difficult 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:04.359 place to go from here. But the cool thing about 00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:06.400 that you're... Eurythmics had two albums come 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.259 out in 1983. So I had a lot of Eurythmics songs 00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:12.440 in my 1983 Spotify list that I had to narrow 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.200 it down and cut. I cut a few of the more obscure 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.680 songs out and maybe some of the more slower paced 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.059 ones out. But that one was still solidly in there. 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.640 And I was, like I said, I was going to pick that 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.500 one if I didn't pick Real Life. So it's awesome 00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:28.640 that those two ended up together. It's like when 00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.619 you have two picks in a row in the NFL draft. 00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:34.549 And somebody falls to you and you can't believe 00:22:34.549 --> 00:22:36.170 that they fell to you. So you get to make that 00:22:36.170 --> 00:22:37.910 pick plus the pick you were going to make. There 00:22:37.910 --> 00:22:41.150 you go. So I guess that makes my turn. I've got 00:22:41.150 --> 00:22:44.650 to follow your rhythmics. And I think I know 00:22:44.650 --> 00:22:46.869 how to do this. I think I know how to get that 00:22:46.869 --> 00:22:51.250 next step. I'm going to go with, because this 00:22:51.250 --> 00:22:55.009 is my last shot on side A, I'm going to try to 00:22:55.009 --> 00:22:57.289 bring the energy level back up a little bit. 00:22:57.740 --> 00:22:59.920 and that's going to give you a place to go to 00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:01.519 from there. You can either maintain, you can 00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:03.720 come back down, you can go up. I think this one 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:05.779 will flow nicely out of Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams. 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.980 I'm going to go David Bowie's Modern Love. Oh, 00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:12.619 nice. Yeah, I think it's got a little bit of 00:23:12.619 --> 00:23:17.799 the same 80s keyboard -oriented pop in there, 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:20.400 but it also brings it up a little bit more in 00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:22.920 the energy department, even though Eurythmics 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:25.789 is more of a... a slow driving song or slower 00:23:25.789 --> 00:23:28.589 driving song, mid tempo. And then Modern Love 00:23:28.589 --> 00:23:31.869 brings it up, not quite to where we started this 00:23:31.869 --> 00:23:34.190 side, but at least a half a notch from where 00:23:34.190 --> 00:23:36.410 we were with Eurythmics. So I think David Bowie 00:23:36.410 --> 00:23:38.910 flows nicely out of there. It does. And you did 00:23:38.910 --> 00:23:41.609 scoop me on David Bowie, but I actually had chosen 00:23:41.609 --> 00:23:44.950 in my bank, Let's Dance with obviously that legendary 00:23:44.950 --> 00:23:47.809 Stevie Ray Vaughan guitar work in it. And I do 00:23:47.809 --> 00:23:50.250 want to give a shout out to Josh Zimmer, Jason 00:23:50.250 --> 00:23:52.829 Spiegel, and my friend Matt at the X Radio X 00:23:52.829 --> 00:23:55.769 podcast. They all chose that as well. But Modern 00:23:55.769 --> 00:23:59.329 Love is just as good. I'm glad to see Bowie represented. 00:23:59.430 --> 00:24:02.190 This was a big year for him. And I think when 00:24:02.190 --> 00:24:05.390 I say it's an underrated Bowie album, people 00:24:05.390 --> 00:24:07.910 might like roll their eyes at me because Let's 00:24:07.910 --> 00:24:10.089 Dance was so massive. But when you compare it 00:24:10.089 --> 00:24:13.849 to the Ziggy Stardusts, I don't feel it has the. 00:24:14.619 --> 00:24:17.000 recognition it should it's a really really really 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:20.319 good album yeah terrific album i did have let's 00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:24.359 dance in the bank so it kind of was going to 00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:26.440 come down to if i did pick a david bowie song 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.059 what was the appropriate song to flow from the 00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:31.759 previous song i didn't think let's dance was 00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:33.660 quite the vibe i was going for coming out of 00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:36.599 your sweet dream so i think modern love at this 00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:39.319 point in the mixtape and on track nine of side 00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:41.680 a i think Modern Love fits just a little bit 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:43.400 better than Let's Dance. And of course, I also 00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:47.440 had China Girl. I had Putting Out Fire, Cat People 00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:50.819 song in my bank as well. So I'm a big fan of 00:24:50.819 --> 00:24:53.460 that album. Well, coming out of David Bowie, 00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:55.640 you could go in a couple of different directions, 00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:58.119 but I want to kind of stay in that same vein. 00:24:58.380 --> 00:25:00.380 But I want to go with something to close the 00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:05.359 side that is very iconic and very powerful. And 00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.220 I think I know where I'm going to go with this 00:25:07.220 --> 00:25:09.859 because it is a side ender. I don't want it to 00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:11.940 be too energetic, but I don't want it to be a 00:25:11.940 --> 00:25:14.480 snoozer either. And I'm going to go with one 00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.740 that has been covered by bands of a much heavier 00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:20.839 nature later in time. That band would be Mudvayne 00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.279 did a cover of it, as did one of my bands in 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.740 the early 2000s. But only the people that know 00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:28.720 me has heard this version. So they'll know it 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:32.059 is my favorite song by this band. So when I bring 00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:34.880 it up, it'll make more sense. From Synchronicity, 00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:37.380 I am going to go with The Police, King of Pain. 00:25:37.950 --> 00:25:41.190 to close out side a the latin jukebox chimed 00:25:41.190 --> 00:25:43.670 in with every breath you take i mean you can 00:25:43.670 --> 00:25:46.549 go with so many songs off synchronicity synchronicity 00:25:46.549 --> 00:25:48.829 one two wrapped around your finger every breath 00:25:48.829 --> 00:25:52.170 you take that album was just a monster and it's 00:25:52.170 --> 00:25:54.950 one of the biggest albums of the year i feel 00:25:54.950 --> 00:25:57.789 like king of pain was the best way to close off 00:25:57.789 --> 00:26:01.349 this kind of rock side that we've got going here 00:26:01.349 --> 00:26:03.930 but still leave the door open for where we could 00:26:03.930 --> 00:26:07.119 go on side b So I'm going to close it off with 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.819 The Police, King of Pain. I'm glad you picked 00:26:10.819 --> 00:26:13.319 The Police. I had several of their songs in my 00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:16.619 bank for various moods. Of course, I had Synchronicity 00:26:16.619 --> 00:26:20.740 2 in there. I had Wrapped Around Your Finger 00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:24.339 is maybe my favorite police song of all time. 00:26:24.420 --> 00:26:27.140 It is tremendous. We haven't gotten to any ballads, 00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:29.940 which is surprising. But around the track four 00:26:29.940 --> 00:26:32.259 or five, usually that's where you get your ballad. 00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:34.960 We skipped right over that and just kept rocking. 00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:37.180 Yeah, we're just, this is a party right now. 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.859 There's no time for ballads at this point. Well, 00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:45.380 that mixtapers closes side A of our songs of 00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:49.400 1983 mixtape. We started off with Billy Idol's 00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.200 Rebel Yell, Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil, 00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:55.920 Bryan Adams' Cuts Like a Knife, Huey Lewis in 00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:59.059 the News, Heart and Soul, Rick Springfield, Human 00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:02.039 Touch, Talking Heads, Burning Down the House, 00:27:02.339 --> 00:27:05.960 Real Life, Send Me an Angel. Eurythmics, Sweet 00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.160 Dreams Are Made of This, David Bowie, Modern 00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.500 Love, and closing it out, The Police, King of 00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:15.900 Pain. Remember, you can head over to myweeklymixtape 00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:18.059 .com to hear all of the songs we're discussing 00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:21.119 in this mix through the playlist embedded on 00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:25.119 the episode page. Now, before we flip our proverbial 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:28.559 mixtape over and start rocking out on side B, 00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:30.519 Michael, why don't you tell people a little bit 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.230 more about Michael's record collection? Well, 00:27:33.230 --> 00:27:38.769 Michael's Record Collection is a multimedia conglomerate. 00:27:38.769 --> 00:27:41.589 No, it's not. It's my podcast, but it's also 00:27:41.589 --> 00:27:44.549 a newsletter and a video channel. I do all three 00:27:44.549 --> 00:27:47.269 things because some people like to go down the 00:27:47.269 --> 00:27:49.329 YouTube rabbit hole. Other people like to read. 00:27:49.390 --> 00:27:51.529 Other people like to listen to stuff while they're 00:27:51.529 --> 00:27:53.289 in the car, while they're working out. So I do 00:27:53.289 --> 00:27:55.130 all three things and everything can be found 00:27:55.130 --> 00:27:58.269 at michaelsrecordcollection .com. But the podcast, 00:27:58.470 --> 00:28:01.740 basically how I describe that is... We talk about 00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:05.000 great music with the people who make it and the 00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.940 people who love it. So I've had many musicians 00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:11.019 on to talk about albums that they've created, 00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:14.259 or a couple of times I've had artists on to talk 00:28:14.259 --> 00:28:16.619 about other music. And I've had people such as 00:28:16.619 --> 00:28:19.240 yourself, podcasters, I've had writers, people 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:22.339 that do love music. to come on and talk music 00:28:22.339 --> 00:28:25.559 with me. It's just a couple of music nerds geeking 00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:27.619 out about some great songs. Usually there's a 00:28:27.619 --> 00:28:30.220 topic involved. I know you were on, we talked 00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:33.480 about the cars, heartbeat city. We talked about 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:35.940 Pat Benatar together on one of my past episodes. 00:28:36.140 --> 00:28:38.680 And then of course, after the, the very sad and 00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:40.740 tragic passing of Christine McVie, you know, 00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:43.059 we, we jumped on and talked about her music for 00:28:43.059 --> 00:28:45.720 a while. So these are the kinds of topics that 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.930 are covered. I've also had great musicians like 00:28:48.930 --> 00:28:51.650 Dennis DeYoung from Styx or Gil Moore from Triumph, 00:28:51.789 --> 00:28:54.609 Brad Gillis from Night Ranger. And a lot of what 00:28:54.609 --> 00:28:57.589 I do kind of centers around rock and roll, hard 00:28:57.589 --> 00:29:00.910 rock, classic rock, progressive rock. Those are 00:29:00.910 --> 00:29:02.849 the main things. But I get a little poppier sometimes, 00:29:03.170 --> 00:29:06.069 a little folkier sometimes, and I have many interests. 00:29:06.210 --> 00:29:10.549 But rock and roll is where my heart is. So all 00:29:10.549 --> 00:29:14.869 kind of subgenres of rock is kind of the sweet 00:29:14.869 --> 00:29:17.309 spot for me. And it seems to be that's the sweet 00:29:17.309 --> 00:29:19.869 spot where this mixtape seems to be hitting right 00:29:19.869 --> 00:29:22.670 now is a little bit of everything rock. Yeah, 00:29:22.769 --> 00:29:26.289 we really have not gone soft at all. We've kind 00:29:26.289 --> 00:29:28.990 of kept the energy pretty high and we haven't 00:29:28.990 --> 00:29:32.609 gotten really synthy. Like there's no naked eyes 00:29:32.609 --> 00:29:35.750 on here or whatever so far. Yeah, and I don't 00:29:35.750 --> 00:29:37.289 know if it's going to go there because kicking 00:29:37.289 --> 00:29:41.170 off Side B, I'm just going to go right into it. 00:29:41.190 --> 00:29:42.849 And I'm going to go with one of my favorite rock 00:29:42.849 --> 00:29:45.930 albums of the 80s. And I guess you could call 00:29:45.930 --> 00:29:48.589 it a classic rock album because the band was 00:29:48.589 --> 00:29:51.250 a classic rock band that kind of was making their 00:29:51.250 --> 00:29:55.049 transition into the 80s. And as a young child 00:29:55.049 --> 00:29:58.390 who was obsessed with cars, I could stare at 00:29:58.390 --> 00:30:01.690 this album cover for hours on end. And that album 00:30:01.690 --> 00:30:04.809 cover is Eliminator. And this is the opening 00:30:04.809 --> 00:30:07.269 track from it. So that is the opening track for 00:30:07.269 --> 00:30:10.529 Side B of our mixtape ZZ Top. Give me all your 00:30:10.529 --> 00:30:12.630 loving. I want to give a shout out to Patreon 00:30:12.630 --> 00:30:15.650 mixtaper David Lee Smith, who also chimed in 00:30:15.650 --> 00:30:19.230 with this one. This song, what a way to kick 00:30:19.230 --> 00:30:22.069 off an album. Just that drum beat. It's not a 00:30:22.069 --> 00:30:24.849 complicated drum beat. We're not talking about 00:30:24.849 --> 00:30:28.390 Neil Peart or Mike Portnoy here. This is just 00:30:28.390 --> 00:30:30.930 a straight ahead meat and potatoes drum beat. 00:30:30.970 --> 00:30:34.029 But guess what? As soon as it starts, your head 00:30:34.029 --> 00:30:36.269 starts moving. And when that guitar and bass 00:30:36.269 --> 00:30:40.519 kicks in, it's on. I love it. ZZ Top, Gimme All 00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:42.960 Your Lovin'. I love that. That was one of the 00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:46.380 two that made my cut to my song bank. ZZ Top's 00:30:46.380 --> 00:30:47.980 Gimme All Your Lovin'. The other one got me under 00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:51.200 pressure if we really needed something high, 00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:54.319 high energy. But yeah, you're right. That groove 00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.140 that they get into, but it's a good rock and 00:30:57.140 --> 00:31:01.240 driving beat. The guitar riff. Of course, Billy 00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:05.160 Gibbons is amazing. And I really think that Frank 00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:07.410 Beard doesn't get enough credit. for the engine 00:31:07.410 --> 00:31:09.710 room that he provides for that band so i think 00:31:09.710 --> 00:31:11.390 that's a great pick and a great way to start 00:31:11.390 --> 00:31:14.190 off the side two of the mixtape yeah he he's 00:31:14.190 --> 00:31:16.230 a human metronome and that's one of those things 00:31:16.230 --> 00:31:20.109 where it gets underappreciated because if you 00:31:20.109 --> 00:31:22.329 go a little too fast or a little too slow with 00:31:22.329 --> 00:31:26.109 that song you change the entire impact that that 00:31:26.109 --> 00:31:28.829 song has and that's something that i think is 00:31:28.829 --> 00:31:31.390 very overlooked he is he is literally a human 00:31:31.390 --> 00:31:37.420 metronome and then with cover songs guitarist 00:31:37.420 --> 00:31:41.180 walter trout has a fantastic cover of it very 00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:44.079 faithful to the original but he's got that walter 00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.539 trout growl in his voice and i absolutely love 00:31:47.539 --> 00:31:49.839 that cover plus his guitar is a little bit more 00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:53.619 flashy playing wise and i mean that in a just 00:31:53.619 --> 00:31:56.980 a different style than the texas blues that the 00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:59.319 reverend is playing in it so he adds a little 00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.779 bit more of the blues rock maybe like of a joe 00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:05.430 bonamassa style to This song, I absolutely love 00:32:05.430 --> 00:32:07.750 that cover. It's worth checking out. But now 00:32:07.750 --> 00:32:10.710 I pass the torch back to you to dig in with track 00:32:10.710 --> 00:32:14.549 two on Side B. It's really hard to follow ZZ 00:32:14.549 --> 00:32:17.109 Top because they are such a distinctive band. 00:32:17.230 --> 00:32:19.769 They got that Texas blues going. And I'm going 00:32:19.769 --> 00:32:23.490 to stay in a little bit of that ruralness that 00:32:23.490 --> 00:32:26.549 ZZ Top's music sort of evokes. But I'm going 00:32:26.549 --> 00:32:29.890 to move from Texas to the Midwest. This was a 00:32:29.890 --> 00:32:32.099 song that I really didn't... I left it in my 00:32:32.099 --> 00:32:33.599 bank, but I didn't really think I would need 00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:35.720 to pull it out. But because it's following ZZ 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:39.160 Top, I think, uh -huh, I'm going to pick it out. 00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:42.539 And that was a clue because from the album Uh 00:32:42.539 --> 00:32:46.359 -Huh, I'm going with John Cougar, Mellon Campus. 00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:51.420 He was then with Play Guitar. Wow. Okay. Awesome. 00:32:51.819 --> 00:32:54.500 Got a little bit of that country tinge to the 00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:57.240 rock, but it's still a rocker. I like this song 00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.059 a lot. It's one of my favorite songs by him. 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:01.640 You scooped the artist for me, which is great. 00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:05.119 I actually had Authority Song on there, just 00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:09.039 in case we were kind of going down a more dancey, 00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:11.579 kind of upbeat, almost punkish kind of vibe. 00:33:11.859 --> 00:33:15.099 But Play Guitar, coming out of ZZ Top, works 00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:18.960 absolutely perfectly. I like the way this is 00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:22.079 flowing so much right now that I just want to 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:27.059 go grab my boombox out of the closet and start 00:33:27.059 --> 00:33:29.220 making this tape. Well, thanks to the beauty 00:33:29.220 --> 00:33:31.200 of modern technology, you could just head over 00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.200 to myweeklymixtape .com and listen to the embedded 00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:38.200 versions. Nice. I like the ad drop there. That's 00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:41.460 good. Of course. Total cheap plug. So coming 00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:43.940 out of John Mellencamp, I want to keep the energy 00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:46.599 and I want to kick it up a little bit more. But 00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:49.019 I want something that is going to have everybody 00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:53.140 in the room or in the car or in the stadium singing 00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:55.640 along. And I can't think of a better song on 00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:59.380 my list right now. than Def Leppard's Photograph 00:33:59.380 --> 00:34:03.420 from Pyromania. It's rock, but it still has a 00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:07.960 little bit of that 70s glam pop sound that Def 00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.119 Leppard has woven through their music throughout 00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:13.159 the years. And when that chorus hits, everybody's 00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:15.280 singing Photograph together in unison. You got 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.360 the harmonies going. I'm just feeling that coming 00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:21.420 out of John Cougar Mellencamp. It's not as twangy 00:34:21.420 --> 00:34:23.880 as other places I could go, but I still want 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:26.179 to keep that energy up. And I feel like this 00:34:26.179 --> 00:34:28.809 does it. I have two cover songs for this one 00:34:28.809 --> 00:34:31.429 I should point out. Because you had mentioned, 00:34:31.510 --> 00:34:33.590 Mike, that you do listen to some Americana and 00:34:33.590 --> 00:34:36.769 some twangy stuff. In 2004, a band called Malibu 00:34:36.769 --> 00:34:39.789 Storm did an Americana version, almost country 00:34:39.789 --> 00:34:43.869 -esque of it. Very, very good. And then in 2010, 00:34:44.210 --> 00:34:47.190 Santana covered the track with Chris Daughtry 00:34:47.190 --> 00:34:50.789 on vocals. And Daughtry absolutely nails it. 00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:54.300 So coming out of John Cougar Mellencamp, maybe 00:34:54.300 --> 00:34:57.280 a little bit of a, not a full left turn, but 00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:00.360 maybe a little bit of a curve into Def Leppard's 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:03.519 photograph. Yeah, that's great. I just talked 00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:05.800 about that album and that song on that album 00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:09.380 with the Def Leppod. Neil from the Def Leppod 00:35:09.380 --> 00:35:11.780 does a bang up job talking about all things Def 00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:17.789 Leppard. And so this is obviously. a crazy it's 00:35:17.789 --> 00:35:20.489 crazy to think about this being as old as it 00:35:20.489 --> 00:35:24.530 is because 1983 to me it seems like it was yesterday 00:35:24.530 --> 00:35:29.690 and uh it's been 40 40 years it's hard to even 00:35:29.690 --> 00:35:33.690 say it out loud but but photograph is is phenomenal 00:35:33.690 --> 00:35:36.230 it was my first taste of deaf leopard obviously 00:35:36.230 --> 00:35:39.710 through mtv and it was one of those things that 00:35:39.710 --> 00:35:43.469 just was so different it was a video that told 00:35:43.469 --> 00:35:46.869 a story at a time when MTV was playing a lot 00:35:46.869 --> 00:35:50.449 of, you know, sort of live on a soundstage type 00:35:50.449 --> 00:35:54.409 of videos and just really weird stuff. And this 00:35:54.409 --> 00:35:56.789 one kind of told a little mini story. And then 00:35:56.789 --> 00:35:59.469 you had these guys, these, you know, good looking 00:35:59.469 --> 00:36:02.590 dudes and the lead singer's wearing a Union Jack 00:36:02.590 --> 00:36:05.010 sleeveless shirt and the drummer's got no shirt 00:36:05.010 --> 00:36:08.250 on. He's wearing Union Jack shorts. And it captured, 00:36:08.309 --> 00:36:09.909 you know, the imagination of music, obviously 00:36:09.909 --> 00:36:11.909 captured the imagination of the guys and the 00:36:11.909 --> 00:36:15.050 look. captured the imagination of the girls and 00:36:15.050 --> 00:36:17.909 everybody liked deaf leopard. And they became 00:36:17.909 --> 00:36:21.150 a very, very big band at a time when there were 00:36:21.150 --> 00:36:23.630 just some imports coming in from, from England. 00:36:23.710 --> 00:36:25.670 And that was one of the bands that really caught 00:36:25.670 --> 00:36:28.710 fire through MTV. So a photograph is a great 00:36:28.710 --> 00:36:31.130 song. One of my favorite deaf leopard songs to 00:36:31.130 --> 00:36:33.449 this day. It's a great pick. And I could see, 00:36:33.510 --> 00:36:36.269 I could see the turn there. Well, how are you 00:36:36.269 --> 00:36:37.710 going to, are you going to keep leaning into 00:36:37.710 --> 00:36:39.710 the turn? Are you going to kind of pivot it right 00:36:39.710 --> 00:36:42.769 back? I'm going to take a little bit of a weird 00:36:42.769 --> 00:36:45.710 turn here because this is track four on side 00:36:45.710 --> 00:36:49.050 B. And I think that's normally where you might 00:36:49.050 --> 00:36:51.989 get a little bit of a curveball. And so I've 00:36:51.989 --> 00:36:55.090 got this section of my song bank that's called 00:36:55.090 --> 00:36:58.469 Outside the Box. And Outside the Box, I've got 00:36:58.469 --> 00:37:00.610 songs that didn't quite fit in any one given 00:37:00.610 --> 00:37:02.570 category. But I think there's one that I can 00:37:02.570 --> 00:37:06.909 insert here that might work. And that is from 00:37:06.909 --> 00:37:11.639 my favorite band's self -titled album. I'm going 00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:15.239 to go with Mama. Ooh, okay. It's a little different 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:18.699 vibe, a little darker, but it still has some 00:37:18.699 --> 00:37:21.920 power behind it. It's a rock song. It's got a 00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:25.119 heavy drum beat. So I think it works here, but 00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:27.900 it is a little bit of a left turn. And I acknowledge 00:37:27.900 --> 00:37:29.980 that, but this is a good place on a mixtape for 00:37:29.980 --> 00:37:32.900 a left turn. I love that pick. You did scoop 00:37:32.900 --> 00:37:36.400 the band. I had That's All waiting. I just didn't 00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:38.480 know if we were going to get into that funky. 00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:42.739 realm where it would work so like if you had 00:37:42.739 --> 00:37:46.739 chosen david bowie's let's dance i might have 00:37:46.739 --> 00:37:50.440 closed side a with that's all given that kind 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:54.280 of a funky phil collins ending to it but i like 00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:57.099 where you're going with mama here in this situation 00:37:57.099 --> 00:38:03.380 but yeah coming out of it good luck yeah i mean 00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:06.280 that's kind of a palate cleanser if you think 00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:11.349 about it And people like to, you know, you might 00:38:11.349 --> 00:38:14.150 want to call that a deep cut. You did on side 00:38:14.150 --> 00:38:17.090 A with Real Love. I think I'm going to go with 00:38:17.090 --> 00:38:19.409 a deep cut here. Okay. Coming out of Genesis. 00:38:20.030 --> 00:38:22.269 And it is a little bit of a stretch. It's going 00:38:22.269 --> 00:38:24.309 to definitely be another. We're going to be weaving 00:38:24.309 --> 00:38:27.670 on side B here between lanes. But I think I'm 00:38:27.670 --> 00:38:29.469 going to give you a nice palette to bring us 00:38:29.469 --> 00:38:31.730 home for the rest of the tape. And I'm going 00:38:31.730 --> 00:38:36.190 to go off the band's self -titled album. Very 00:38:36.190 --> 00:38:41.269 underrated band. Very amazing lineup. I would 00:38:41.269 --> 00:38:44.449 call this a super group, if you will, with Fast 00:38:44.449 --> 00:38:47.489 Eddie Clark from Motorhead and a young Dave King 00:38:47.489 --> 00:38:50.909 who would go on to front the amazing Flogging 00:38:50.909 --> 00:38:53.849 Molly. I'm going to go with Fastway. Say what 00:38:53.849 --> 00:38:57.989 you will. Let's pick the party up here. I love 00:38:57.989 --> 00:39:01.449 dropping the Flogging Molly knowledge on people 00:39:01.449 --> 00:39:05.369 about Fastway. because i would say do you realize 00:39:05.369 --> 00:39:08.309 that in 1980s dave king sang in a what would 00:39:08.309 --> 00:39:11.210 be pretty much a hair rock band and people look 00:39:11.210 --> 00:39:14.289 at me and tell me i'm absolutely crazy and then 00:39:14.289 --> 00:39:17.889 i play the song and their jaws you hear it hit 00:39:17.889 --> 00:39:21.650 the ground he is such an incredible hard rock 00:39:21.650 --> 00:39:24.530 singer and he's still such an incredible singer 00:39:24.530 --> 00:39:27.670 say what you will just picks up the energy it's 00:39:27.670 --> 00:39:31.210 got that motor head vibe with a little bit of 00:39:31.210 --> 00:39:34.130 a blues touch to it. And Dave King's vocals are 00:39:34.130 --> 00:39:37.369 just perfect on it. It's got that 80s snarl and 00:39:37.369 --> 00:39:40.230 that 80s swagger, if you want to call it that. 00:39:40.369 --> 00:39:43.530 So my track five, Fastway, Say What You Will. 00:39:43.929 --> 00:39:46.570 I really like that. I had submitted that song 00:39:46.570 --> 00:39:49.929 to you for your opening guitar riff mixtape as 00:39:49.929 --> 00:39:53.489 well as a suggestion because I love this band. 00:39:54.059 --> 00:39:56.559 I know everybody loves their flogging, Molly, 00:39:56.659 --> 00:39:59.079 but I rue the day that Dave King swore off metal 00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:01.880 and decided it was stupid because he was so good 00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:06.219 at it. Fast Away was the second band that I ever 00:40:06.219 --> 00:40:09.840 saw live on the first concert that I ever went 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:14.360 to, as there was a four -band bill, heavy metal 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:17.960 bands, started with Kick Axe, a Canadian band. 00:40:18.219 --> 00:40:21.650 Uh -huh, I remember them. Then Fast Away. Then 00:40:21.650 --> 00:40:25.010 after Fastway was Quiet Riot and then Scorpions. 00:40:25.030 --> 00:40:28.550 So that was an amazing day. And same venue where 00:40:28.550 --> 00:40:31.590 I saw Brian Adams, outdoor venue. We were in 00:40:31.590 --> 00:40:34.010 a sort of like this cordoned off VIP section 00:40:34.010 --> 00:40:36.449 on the right in front of the stacks and stacks 00:40:36.449 --> 00:40:39.449 of speakers. So I didn't hear very well the next 00:40:39.449 --> 00:40:44.590 day. Or till now. Yeah, I'm still having trouble 00:40:44.590 --> 00:40:47.489 with that ear. Matthias Jabs from Scorpions did 00:40:47.489 --> 00:40:50.199 some permanent damage, I think. But that was 00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:54.199 a fantastic day. I will never forget Dave King 00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:56.920 throwing a Nerf football into the crowd and having 00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:59.559 it thrown back to him during the show. An amazing 00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:01.840 band. And I think a band that you're right, underrated, 00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:05.300 should have been bigger. And given who was in 00:41:05.300 --> 00:41:09.199 the band, they were a super group. Yeah. And 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:12.579 now you have kind of a blank slate to go anywhere 00:41:12.579 --> 00:41:15.159 you want, although it is leaning a little bit 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:18.619 more in the rock arena again. It really is. It's 00:41:18.619 --> 00:41:21.900 going to be difficult to go from there. But how 00:41:21.900 --> 00:41:29.559 I connect the dot there is I go with. Why not 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:32.699 just follow Fastway the way that the band followed 00:41:32.699 --> 00:41:35.639 Fastway at the first concert I ever went to and 00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.960 go quiet riots. Come on, feel the noise. All 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:41.619 right. We're going to rock. Let's go ahead and 00:41:41.619 --> 00:41:43.519 rock. And this one also has a little bit of a 00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:46.579 poppy vibe and a little bit of a. Of course, 00:41:46.579 --> 00:41:49.699 it is a cover. It's a little bit of a glam vibe 00:41:49.699 --> 00:41:53.219 from the original from Slade. And I think that 00:41:53.219 --> 00:41:55.980 this works pretty well right after Fastway. I 00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:58.659 think it's a good pivot. And now you can also 00:41:58.659 --> 00:42:00.639 go harder or you can pull it back. So I think 00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:03.780 that this is a good side B now. It was a little 00:42:03.780 --> 00:42:05.380 bit all over the place and now it's starting 00:42:05.380 --> 00:42:08.460 to really gel as we hit the home stretch. Yeah, 00:42:08.460 --> 00:42:11.699 and like Side A, Heart and Soul by Huey Lewis 00:42:11.699 --> 00:42:13.780 and the News, I will just say it. Maybe this 00:42:13.780 --> 00:42:16.860 is a hot take because I still have nothing but 00:42:16.860 --> 00:42:19.860 love for Slade. But Quiet Riot's Come On, Feel 00:42:19.860 --> 00:42:22.559 the Noise is the definitive version. I agree 00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:25.639 with you. And I love Slade. But Quiet Riot, there 00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:28.199 was just something magical about those musicians 00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:31.539 at that time. Kevin Dubrow is one of those guys 00:42:31.539 --> 00:42:34.719 who's just absolutely overlooked when you think 00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:38.250 of the great vocalists of the 80s. He had that 00:42:38.250 --> 00:42:40.929 mouth, he described it, he got a mouth like an 00:42:40.929 --> 00:42:43.769 alligator in Metal Health. That's a perfect description 00:42:43.769 --> 00:42:47.449 of him. But Rudy Sarzo and even Chuck Wright, 00:42:47.550 --> 00:42:49.769 who did some of the bass work on that album before 00:42:49.769 --> 00:42:52.929 Rudy came back to the band. Carlos Cavazza, Frankie 00:42:52.929 --> 00:42:55.369 Benally is a fantastic drummer. This is a band 00:42:55.369 --> 00:42:59.150 that almost gets relegated to punchline status, 00:42:59.230 --> 00:43:01.349 but Quiet Riot was a band that rocked and had 00:43:01.349 --> 00:43:03.849 the respect of everyone else on the Sunset Strip. 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:08.719 In 2016, I went to a record show in Pennsylvania 00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:13.239 and Frankie Benally was one of the guests of 00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:15.860 honor at the show. I don't want to was one of 00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:18.679 the people sign it and doing signings and meeting 00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:22.400 fans at the show. And my cousin and I went for 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.420 the weekend and we went the first day. We walked 00:43:25.420 --> 00:43:27.800 around. We took pictures. We did some browsing 00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:30.320 and stuff. Stayed at a hotel. We got up the next 00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:33.010 morning for breakfast. And Frankie Benally was 00:43:33.010 --> 00:43:36.750 at the same hotel as us. So we walked over and 00:43:36.750 --> 00:43:38.250 just said, Hey, Frank, you know, we're big fans. 00:43:38.329 --> 00:43:41.570 We just wanted to say how much we love metal 00:43:41.570 --> 00:43:43.889 health. You know, we think your music's awesome. 00:43:44.210 --> 00:43:46.150 And he's like, Oh dude, that's incredible. And 00:43:46.150 --> 00:43:48.570 we sat down to eat and he kind of looked both 00:43:48.570 --> 00:43:51.170 ways. He goes, do you care if I sit with you? 00:43:51.230 --> 00:43:55.110 And we're like, sure. So we sat at a Hampton 00:43:55.110 --> 00:43:59.199 Inn in, I think it's Oaks, Pennsylvania. And 00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:01.039 we just sat at a table with him talking music 00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:04.280 for a half hour and eating breakfast and just 00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:05.840 shooting the breeze. And I said, by the way, 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:10.099 I've got my metal health album in the car. And 00:44:10.099 --> 00:44:12.619 he goes, grab it. And he's got it. He signed 00:44:12.619 --> 00:44:14.780 it for me. I've got it framed up on my wall now. 00:44:15.059 --> 00:44:19.219 I was really bummed when he passed. He was one 00:44:19.219 --> 00:44:23.039 of the most down to earth. He was not a rock 00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:27.059 star there playing rock star. He was just a fan. 00:44:27.659 --> 00:44:30.619 amongst the fans and the love that he had for 00:44:30.619 --> 00:44:33.280 quiet riot, trying to keep it going until his 00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:34.860 death. And the fact that it's still going now, 00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:38.280 I know it catches a lot of hell from some people 00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:40.340 that says, why would they keep the band going? 00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:43.619 It's because of what Frankie Benally put into 00:44:43.619 --> 00:44:46.179 it, even though there were different singers 00:44:46.179 --> 00:44:49.219 and as all the drama about that, he just kept 00:44:49.219 --> 00:44:51.840 trying to keep that spirit alive because it really 00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.079 drove him and fueled him. And it was a big loss 00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:56.679 when he passed and, you know, F cancer because. 00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:59.820 I would have loved to have seen them live again. 00:44:59.980 --> 00:45:03.079 So a little bit of a downer there, but I love 00:45:03.079 --> 00:45:05.960 Frankie Benally. I love Quiet Riot. Yeah, that's 00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:07.820 a great story. Thank you, thank you. It's a great 00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:09.960 story that you have. And not only do you have 00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:12.699 that great memory, I think if people don't know, 00:45:12.780 --> 00:45:15.440 there's a great documentary that Frankie did 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:17.400 called Now You're Here, There's No Way Back. 00:45:17.539 --> 00:45:20.219 I recommend that highly. Go check it out. I love 00:45:20.219 --> 00:45:22.119 rock documentaries, but even if you don't love 00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:24.719 all the rock documentaries that I love, I think 00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:26.780 that's one that everybody can enjoy. And I think 00:45:26.780 --> 00:45:29.019 you will gain a lot of respect for Frankie through 00:45:29.019 --> 00:45:32.420 that documentary. So coming out of Quiet Riot, 00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:37.440 when that song comes on, my pedal starts to push 00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.880 down a little bit more. And at this point, I 00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:42.579 want to keep that energy going and I want to 00:45:42.579 --> 00:45:45.239 floor it. And I can't think of a better way to 00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:49.139 floor it than going off of 1983, because obviously 00:45:49.139 --> 00:45:51.380 that's the year we're talking about. Peace of 00:45:51.380 --> 00:45:55.369 mind, Iron Maiden, The Trooper. We're going to 00:45:55.369 --> 00:45:57.909 turn this thing up to 11. We're getting a speeding 00:45:57.909 --> 00:45:59.570 ticket now. That's exactly what's happening. 00:46:00.269 --> 00:46:03.630 And you know what? When we get pulled over, the 00:46:03.630 --> 00:46:05.329 cop's going to roll down the window, license 00:46:05.329 --> 00:46:06.690 and let, Oh, wait a minute. You're listening 00:46:06.690 --> 00:46:08.610 to maiden. He's going to give us the metal horns 00:46:08.610 --> 00:46:11.710 and he's going to send us on our way. Iron maiden, 00:46:11.730 --> 00:46:13.610 the trooper. I want to give a shout out to seeker 00:46:13.610 --> 00:46:16.789 11, who also chimed in with this one. Come on. 00:46:16.849 --> 00:46:19.789 I mean, Iron Maiden is legendary. Hopefully, 00:46:20.030 --> 00:46:23.409 2023 is the year they're finally inducted into 00:46:23.409 --> 00:46:25.630 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame like they very 00:46:25.630 --> 00:46:29.030 much deserve. They're pioneers of metal. And 00:46:29.030 --> 00:46:31.389 being a metal and rock guy in all the genres 00:46:31.389 --> 00:46:34.530 I listen to, this song just stood out for me 00:46:34.530 --> 00:46:37.210 amongst the rest of Peace of Mind. So following 00:46:37.210 --> 00:46:40.150 up, come on, feel the noise. Let's hear it for 00:46:40.150 --> 00:46:42.719 The Trooper. Wow, that's a great pick. And I 00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:45.840 have two Iron Maiden songs still in my bank after 00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:48.800 crossing out several others from that album. 00:46:48.860 --> 00:46:51.079 And The Trooper was one of the songs that I picked 00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:54.460 on a recent episode. I had a couple of fellow 00:46:54.460 --> 00:46:56.719 podcasters come on. We picked our favorite wake 00:46:56.719 --> 00:46:58.760 up morning songs. And The Trooper was one of 00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:01.460 those for me that I picked because it's one of 00:47:01.460 --> 00:47:02.800 those songs that first thing in the morning, 00:47:02.820 --> 00:47:05.179 if you're on your drive to work, if you play 00:47:05.179 --> 00:47:08.539 The Trooper, you are waking up. You're not going 00:47:08.539 --> 00:47:09.980 to need that caffeine. You're not going to need 00:47:09.980 --> 00:47:11.699 to stop for coffee. You're going to have that 00:47:11.699 --> 00:47:16.280 caffeine buzz from that song. It's a classic 00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:19.880 Iron Maiden gallop. It's high energy. Bruce sings 00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:23.679 the heck out of that song. And yeah, that's an 00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:25.780 amazing song. A great pick coming out of Quiet 00:47:25.780 --> 00:47:32.039 Riot. And now you have the task of trying to 00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:34.400 figure out where to go from Iron Maiden. Do we 00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:38.659 keep going upward? Do we bring it down? What 00:47:38.659 --> 00:47:41.760 do we do here? Yeah, that's the question, isn't 00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:44.199 it? And we're running out of room here on this 00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:48.179 side B. So I've got two picks left and I can 00:47:48.179 --> 00:47:51.119 change the direction now that we take or I can 00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:54.539 keep that thing going. But the song that I feel 00:47:54.539 --> 00:47:57.619 like fits the best here, I'm looking right now 00:47:57.619 --> 00:48:01.219 at this bank of songs, Brian, and I see so many 00:48:01.219 --> 00:48:03.800 songs I'm going to lament leaving off of this 00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:07.679 mixtape. That's just the nature of The Beast. 00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:11.059 And speaking of The Beast, unfortunately, he 00:48:11.059 --> 00:48:13.840 just announced that he will not be touring anymore. 00:48:14.579 --> 00:48:18.659 The legendary Ozzy Osbourne played the role of 00:48:18.659 --> 00:48:23.019 The Beast in a video for the title track to his 00:48:23.019 --> 00:48:25.019 Bark at the Moon album. And I think Bark at the 00:48:25.019 --> 00:48:27.960 Moon is a great follow -up to The Trooper. Yes. 00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:32.480 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Definitely is. 00:48:33.289 --> 00:48:35.510 i love that you picked that you scooped it i'm 00:48:35.510 --> 00:48:38.590 happy you scooped it we needed to have ozzy in 00:48:38.590 --> 00:48:42.110 there and i was trying to like hint to you with 00:48:42.110 --> 00:48:44.969 iron maiden because but then again we don't i 00:48:44.969 --> 00:48:46.610 don't know like there was the whole iron maiden 00:48:46.610 --> 00:48:49.489 ozzy thing at ozfest with the messing around 00:48:49.489 --> 00:48:51.530 with the sounds and i know the two bands don't 00:48:51.530 --> 00:48:55.409 like each other but musically back to back come 00:48:55.409 --> 00:48:58.679 on that is awesome i love that pick Yeah, this 00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:00.480 is a tape that you're not going to want to take 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:02.460 out of your player. You're going to want to leave 00:49:02.460 --> 00:49:05.099 it in there and keep going, flip it over and 00:49:05.099 --> 00:49:07.199 listen to the whole thing over again. This is 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:09.480 a lot harder rock than I thought we would get 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:12.900 in 1983 with all of the synth that was coming 00:49:12.900 --> 00:49:15.340 into popular music at the time and all the different 00:49:15.340 --> 00:49:17.719 styles of music there were. And we've threatened 00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:19.900 to take it in other directions throughout this 00:49:19.900 --> 00:49:22.679 program, but we like our rock. We're rockers, 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:25.360 Brian. Yeah, and I'm leaning right into that 00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:28.550 because on one hand if you've got ozzy osbourne 00:49:28.550 --> 00:49:32.329 on the other hand i have to come up with my last 00:49:32.329 --> 00:49:34.670 song of the night and i feel like where this 00:49:34.670 --> 00:49:37.670 rock is headed we just gotta raise the horns 00:49:37.670 --> 00:49:41.230 up for the man who probably started these horns 00:49:41.230 --> 00:49:44.250 and i'm gonna go with the title track from holy 00:49:44.250 --> 00:49:47.510 diver and i'm gonna go with dio and i want to 00:49:47.510 --> 00:49:49.409 give a shout out to chris agar who chimed in 00:49:49.409 --> 00:49:52.250 with stand up and shout another great dio song 00:49:52.250 --> 00:49:55.619 either one would work but Seeing where we're 00:49:55.619 --> 00:49:57.340 coming with Bark at the Moon, I kind of wanted 00:49:57.340 --> 00:50:00.460 to keep the heft, but change the pacing a little 00:50:00.460 --> 00:50:03.840 bit. So that way it didn't become almost one 00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:06.059 BPM throughout all the last couple of songs. 00:50:06.300 --> 00:50:09.800 So I'm going with Dio's Holy Diver. And that's 00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:12.940 my last song of the night. But I'd love to hear 00:50:12.940 --> 00:50:15.719 what you think about that one coming out of Ozzy. 00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:18.500 Wow. I think it's a great song coming out of 00:50:18.500 --> 00:50:21.840 Ozzy. It just doesn't leave me any room for the 00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:24.559 final track to do a whole lot. There's so many 00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:26.199 songs that I want to get to and I'm going to 00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:29.340 leave them all off. But it is absolutely an appropriate 00:50:29.340 --> 00:50:31.619 song coming out of Bark at the Moon from Holy 00:50:31.619 --> 00:50:34.340 Diver. I might have gone Rainbow in the Dark 00:50:34.340 --> 00:50:37.059 there instead, but that certainly works too. 00:50:37.300 --> 00:50:40.000 So, I mean, yeah, you got your Ozzy and your 00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:42.480 Dio and your Iron Maiden back to back to back. 00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:45.210 I mean. I don't know if that's if there is there 00:50:45.210 --> 00:50:49.369 an unholy trinity. Is that a thing? There is 00:50:49.369 --> 00:50:54.829 now. Yeah, I like it, though. It's pretty great. 00:50:55.130 --> 00:50:57.329 It does leave a lot of pressure. It's like, go 00:50:57.329 --> 00:51:00.650 metal again. You know, there is a lot of pressure 00:51:00.650 --> 00:51:03.530 there. But man, this side B, you're going to 00:51:03.530 --> 00:51:06.980 get your fill of rock. It really makes mama stand 00:51:06.980 --> 00:51:12.199 out now as the sore thumb. Yeah. Now you have 00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:15.960 the challenge. What do you close out side B with? 00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:19.179 That is a challenge. And, you know, I'm looking 00:51:19.179 --> 00:51:22.340 at this list and there's so many iconic albums. 00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:24.219 We're going to get killed for leaving off of 00:51:24.219 --> 00:51:27.900 this thing, but we have to leave some of these 00:51:27.900 --> 00:51:30.380 things off. And I was hoping to get. Some of 00:51:30.380 --> 00:51:33.079 the pop that I like, it's a little more, again, 00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:35.739 deeper cut in here. That's not going to happen. 00:51:37.500 --> 00:51:42.199 I've got to go with something that is not completely 00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:44.219 a left turn, so it's going to have to have high 00:51:44.219 --> 00:51:46.300 energy. It's going to have to have some rock 00:51:46.300 --> 00:51:50.219 to it. And you start with a bang, you need to 00:51:50.219 --> 00:51:53.900 end with a bit of a bang too. That makes things 00:51:53.900 --> 00:51:56.360 really difficult. You're not going to get Cyndi 00:51:56.360 --> 00:52:01.820 Lauper here from me. And you're not going to 00:52:01.820 --> 00:52:04.139 get Elvis Costello's Every Day I Write the Book 00:52:04.139 --> 00:52:06.480 here from me. But something's got to go here. 00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:11.239 I am going to take a little bit of a left turn 00:52:11.239 --> 00:52:13.360 here, though. I am going to go a little deeper. 00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:15.340 And I don't know if this is something that you're 00:52:15.340 --> 00:52:18.860 into. Because I do know you like your punk aesthetic. 00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:21.840 I don't know if you would count these guys as 00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:25.800 a... clear cut punk band, but, and I'm probably 00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:27.380 going to get some stick for ending the, the, 00:52:27.460 --> 00:52:30.360 uh, mixtape with this, but I really like this 00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:34.980 song. It's a high energy song and it's not sort 00:52:34.980 --> 00:52:38.139 of in the same exact rock vein. It's got a different 00:52:38.139 --> 00:52:41.739 vibe to it, but it's still energetic as hell. 00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:44.719 I'm going to go with the plimsolls a million 00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:50.260 miles away. Wow. I think that's a good way to 00:52:50.260 --> 00:52:53.199 end this album with a little bit more of an obscure 00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:55.599 song, but good energy. It's going to introduce 00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:57.260 some people. You've got this thing in your player. 00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:00.380 This last song comes on after Holy Diver. They've 00:53:00.380 --> 00:53:04.099 known every song. They go, who's this? And then 00:53:04.099 --> 00:53:06.079 you get to be cool and explain to them who the 00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:08.960 Plymouth Souls are. So I like it. I really was 00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:11.739 hoping there would be some kind of tie -in that 00:53:11.739 --> 00:53:14.059 I could end this thing with Zebras, who's behind 00:53:14.059 --> 00:53:16.079 the door, but I don't think we quite got there. 00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:18.980 Yeah. I don't know if that would have worked. 00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:20.940 It probably, you know what? Anything could have 00:53:20.940 --> 00:53:25.440 worked in this playlist as a whole. Hearing the 00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:28.320 plimsolls at the end, I would have actually thought 00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:30.539 you would have followed up fast way with that. 00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:33.199 Cause I feel like those two would have went nice 00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:35.400 back to back, but then again, you went to the 00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:38.460 quiet riot and then it took off. Yeah. Okay. 00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:41.639 Look, we're going to try something new tonight. 00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:43.920 I might have to start doing this moving forward. 00:53:44.510 --> 00:53:47.969 What's one song on your list that there was no 00:53:47.969 --> 00:53:50.409 way in hell it would have fit, but that you want 00:53:50.409 --> 00:53:53.110 to give a special shout out to? That's a nice 00:53:53.110 --> 00:53:56.730 way to put it. Man, I look at all of these iconic 00:53:56.730 --> 00:54:00.070 albums like, oh, my gosh, we didn't pick from 00:54:00.070 --> 00:54:02.969 Journey's Frontiers, for example. Right. I want 00:54:02.969 --> 00:54:05.070 to give a shout out to David Owens, who chimed 00:54:05.070 --> 00:54:07.690 in with Separate Ways, Worlds Apart. And I kept 00:54:07.690 --> 00:54:11.010 looking for a spot to plug that one in. And I 00:54:11.010 --> 00:54:13.789 just didn't see it. You had Billy Joel's Innocent 00:54:13.789 --> 00:54:17.510 Man in here. Yep, that was on my list. Elton 00:54:17.510 --> 00:54:20.750 John had an album out, The Fix. Reach the Beach 00:54:20.750 --> 00:54:23.469 came out that year. Man, there are so many. What 00:54:23.469 --> 00:54:27.150 did not fit from 1983 that I would have loved 00:54:27.150 --> 00:54:30.070 to have had on here? I'm going to give a shout 00:54:30.070 --> 00:54:32.269 out. Again, this is a very deep cut because there's 00:54:32.269 --> 00:54:34.670 no way this would have... There was a little 00:54:34.670 --> 00:54:38.309 bit of an opening at one point in this mixtape 00:54:38.309 --> 00:54:40.380 where it would have fit. But I'm going to give 00:54:40.380 --> 00:54:43.860 a shout out to a regional favorite of mine. The 00:54:43.860 --> 00:54:47.480 Michael Stanley Band. Oh. Came out with a song 00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:51.840 in 1983 called My Town. He's basically singing 00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:55.340 about his love for Cleveland. And I think that 00:54:55.340 --> 00:54:57.219 that's a song that more people need to know about. 00:54:57.340 --> 00:54:59.420 So that's the one that I don't see how it would 00:54:59.420 --> 00:55:02.500 have fit on here. But that's one I would have 00:55:02.500 --> 00:55:04.739 liked to have found a way to get on there. And 00:55:04.739 --> 00:55:06.039 some of the other ones I've already mentioned. 00:55:06.099 --> 00:55:07.280 I'm not going to go back over them and steal 00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:10.300 your thunder. But yeah. That's one that I think 00:55:10.300 --> 00:55:12.880 a lot more people should go and play and check 00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:15.679 that one out. Awesome. Well, the song that I 00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:18.500 thought you were going to close with, considering 00:55:18.500 --> 00:55:21.780 where I went with the Ozzy Dio or Maiden Ozzy 00:55:21.780 --> 00:55:24.699 Dio trio, I thought you were going to close with 00:55:24.699 --> 00:55:27.719 something from Kill Em All. And we didn't. So 00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:30.739 somehow nothing from Metallica made tonight, 00:55:30.860 --> 00:55:32.860 which is strange. But I do want to give a shout 00:55:32.860 --> 00:55:35.460 out to Ryan Howell, who chimed in with the Four 00:55:35.460 --> 00:55:38.480 Horsemen from that. But my track that didn't 00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:40.500 make the list because there was just no place 00:55:40.500 --> 00:55:44.280 I saw it making sense was Violent Femme's Blister 00:55:44.280 --> 00:55:46.360 in the Sun. And I want to give a shout out to 00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:48.960 Rob Jones who chimed in with that one. I just 00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:52.519 don't see any place on this mixtape where that 00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:55.079 song would not have felt like a complete, you 00:55:55.079 --> 00:55:57.880 know, screeching wheel, left turn, 180, whatever 00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:00.300 you want to call it. So that would have been 00:56:00.300 --> 00:56:03.059 my, I guess you'll call it an honorable mention. 00:56:03.530 --> 00:56:06.090 track for the night but without our honorable 00:56:06.090 --> 00:56:10.650 mentions side b of our mixtape started with zz 00:56:10.650 --> 00:56:13.570 tops give me all your loving john cougar melon 00:56:13.570 --> 00:56:18.170 camps play guitar deaf leopards photograph genesis's 00:56:18.170 --> 00:56:22.570 mama fastways say what you will quiet riots come 00:56:22.570 --> 00:56:26.849 on feel the noise iron maidens the trooper ozzy 00:56:26.849 --> 00:56:30.400 osbourne's bark at the moon Dio's Holy Diver, 00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:34.739 and The Plimsoll's A Million Miles Away.
