WEBVTT 00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:13.660 Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast that 00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:16.620 takes the classic mixtape approach to building 00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:19.260 a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn, 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.320 and here we are, episode 150. Now, for those 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.300 of you keeping count, I know back in January 00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:30.000 was just episode 100, and no, here we are in 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.939 September. I did not put out 50 episodes between 00:00:32.939 --> 00:00:37.659 January and September. But when you add in all 00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:40.100 of the bonus episodes that I've done over the 00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:43.399 course of this show's run, this technically is 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:48.140 the 150th episode of my weekly mixtape. So I'm 00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:51.520 really, really stoked about that milestone and 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.740 also think it's a perfect opportunity to press 00:00:54.740 --> 00:00:57.840 pause on my weekly mixtape for a couple months. 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.780 Call it a season break, if you will. The longest 00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:03.899 season. probably in podcasting history. If not, 00:01:03.939 --> 00:01:05.700 it's got to be up there. I'm sure. And I'm sure 00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.420 this podcast set have gone on for thousands of 00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:11.340 episodes and never taken a break. But as a one 00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:15.599 man solo show, realistically going nearly three 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.219 years without taking a week off until the weeks 00:01:18.219 --> 00:01:20.319 that my father passed away and I took off in 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.930 his honor, not missing a week has been. an incredibly 00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:28.469 fun streak to keep up but also at the same time 00:01:28.469 --> 00:01:31.150 an incredibly stressful one it's one that i put 00:01:31.150 --> 00:01:33.790 a ton of work into this show and i hope that 00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:36.170 it's something that you the listeners out there 00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:39.409 enjoy checking out each and every week i do want 00:01:39.409 --> 00:01:41.870 to stress though a lot of times when people say 00:01:41.870 --> 00:01:45.189 they're pressing pause on a podcast They say 00:01:45.189 --> 00:01:46.909 that's the last you'll ever hear from them. And 00:01:46.909 --> 00:01:50.090 if anybody knows me at all since tune styles, 00:01:50.409 --> 00:01:53.349 I have not taken much more than a couple of month 00:01:53.349 --> 00:01:56.819 break. Without getting my itch to continue podcasting 00:01:56.819 --> 00:01:59.579 again, I genuinely just love it so, so much. 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.859 However, in the last year with my heart surgery 00:02:02.859 --> 00:02:05.359 being just passing the one year anniversary, 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:09.219 as well as losing my father back in May, I think 00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:11.280 a little family time is warranted and needed 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.340 right now. Kind of let the dust settle a little 00:02:13.340 --> 00:02:15.960 bit, get through a couple of those first tough 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.620 holidays and then get back to doing what I love 00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:20.860 because I know for a fact my father would not 00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:23.400 want me to stop what I'm doing here. We've built 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:47.060 weights. I am going to build the ultimate mixtape, 00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:50.419 meaning I threw out a question to every guest 00:02:50.419 --> 00:02:53.960 that's been on the show. every Patreon mixtaper, 00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:58.199 as well as friends of the show and fellow podcasters, 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.199 and I asked them a very simple question. What 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.800 is the song that either A, made you fall in love 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.439 with music for the first time, or B, makes you 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.500 fall in love with music over and over again every 00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:15.080 single time you hear the song? That opens this 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.400 up to a conversation that can go in so many different 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.840 directions because when you say the song that 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.639 made you fall in love with music, depending on 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.840 your age, that song's going to probably be dated 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.759 to your childhood. So I wanted to add a little 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.539 bit of a nuance in this that maybe there's a 00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:37.069 song that you just heard this past week. And 00:03:37.069 --> 00:03:38.889 every time you hear it, you're like, oh, my God, 00:03:38.930 --> 00:03:41.530 I got to play that thing over and over and over 00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:43.949 again because I just can't get enough of it. 00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:47.810 This is what I love about music. Those are the 00:03:47.810 --> 00:03:51.729 answers we're going for. And like the first time 00:03:51.729 --> 00:03:55.069 that I did this exercise, the answers did not 00:03:55.069 --> 00:03:58.930 disappoint. Now, what I did once again, because 00:03:58.930 --> 00:04:01.909 apparently I'm a sucker for punishment, is I've 00:04:01.909 --> 00:04:05.009 tried to order these songs in what would be. 00:04:05.469 --> 00:04:09.830 a serviceable, listenable playlist. So that's 00:04:09.830 --> 00:04:11.650 where the conversation comes in. You might be 00:04:11.650 --> 00:04:14.610 like, why are you putting X after B? Why are 00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:18.629 you putting Q next to Z? Let's go and find out, 00:04:18.649 --> 00:04:21.310 shall we? But before we do that, if you like 00:04:21.310 --> 00:04:23.129 what you're hearing on my weekly mixtape, you 00:04:23.129 --> 00:04:25.629 can help me out by either telling a friend about 00:04:25.629 --> 00:04:28.189 the show, leaving the show a five -star review 00:04:28.189 --> 00:04:31.290 wherever you're tuning in. or by becoming a Patreon 00:04:31.290 --> 00:04:35.790 mixtaper at patreon .com forward slash myweeklymixtape. 00:04:35.810 --> 00:04:38.829 There you can find when we're in season, ad -free 00:04:38.829 --> 00:04:41.149 episodes of the show, and you can gain early 00:04:41.149 --> 00:04:43.670 access to future My Weekly Mixtape episodes, 00:04:43.829 --> 00:04:47.529 and you can become a guest curator, drop answers 00:04:47.529 --> 00:04:49.730 as you're going to hear from several of the Patreon 00:04:49.730 --> 00:04:52.589 mixtapers tonight, so much more.

So 00:04:57.850 --> 00:05:00.930 with that, let's dive into the ultimate mixtape, 00:05:01.129 --> 00:05:04.129 the songs that made you fall in love with music. 00:05:04.149 --> 00:05:07.189 And first off, we have Jim Laughlin of Moe with 00:05:07.189 --> 00:05:11.709 his choice for the ultimate mixtape. Oh, man. 00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:16.149 I just had like four songs ripped through my 00:05:16.149 --> 00:05:23.209 head. ACDC's Back in Black. Oh. It's a weird 00:05:23.209 --> 00:05:27.079 pick, but there's not a day. that I can remember 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.139 in my life where I didn't just love music, where 00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:33.720 I didn't listen to music, where I didn't, you 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.980 know, ever since I was a really, really little 00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:40.540 kid. But when a buddy of mine let me borrow his 00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:44.040 Back in Black cassette, and then I finally went 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.220 out and bought it, that, first of all, that song, 00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:50.680 you know, the first time I heard it, I was like, 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.220 wow. Like, that just, I don't know, it just hit 00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:58.839 me for some reason. and then i use that so i 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.779 woke up to that song every day in seventh and 00:06:02.779 --> 00:06:06.740 eighth grade like my old alarm clock was a cassette 00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:10.759 player and you'd push pause and play at night 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.660 and set the alarm and the pause would pop off 00:06:13.660 --> 00:06:15.420 when the alarm would go off so every morning 00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:20.920 i woke up to you know the and it was the first 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.060 song that i when i i was like i want to do this 00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:27.579 like I don't want this to just be something I 00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:30.439 enjoy and, you know, as part of my life. I want 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.199 to actually do this and make music. And that's, 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.519 you know, that's what got me started playing 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.740 the bass. And it just all kind of trickled out 00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:43.639 from there. And it brings me back every time 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.720 I hear it. I can't hear that or just that whole 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.519 record. Like, I know that record back and forth. 00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:52.180 It's just imprinted on my brain. So every time 00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:55.069 I hear it, I'm like, yeah, man. One of the greatest 00:06:55.069 --> 00:06:58.410 count -ins of a song of all time. Like the count 00:06:58.410 --> 00:07:01.350 -in on the hi -hat. As soon as you hear what 00:07:01.350 --> 00:07:03.550 Phil Rudd is doing in that song, you immediately 00:07:03.550 --> 00:07:06.670 know what's about to happen. Yeah. And it's iconic. 00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:10.889 Yeah, it's the only iconic hi -hat part in music. 00:07:11.009 --> 00:07:14.110 I mean, if you know it, you know it. You don't 00:07:14.110 --> 00:07:17.069 need to hear the second part of it before. You 00:07:17.069 --> 00:07:18.470 know when the guitar is going to kick in. You 00:07:18.470 --> 00:07:20.209 know when the bass is going to kick in. Just 00:07:20.209 --> 00:07:22.709 everything about that song, it just gets to you 00:07:22.709 --> 00:07:26.490 every time. A fun fact about Back in Black, when 00:07:26.490 --> 00:07:28.329 I was a kid growing up, and I'm going to admit 00:07:28.329 --> 00:07:30.230 something here, I'm not ashamed of it. When I 00:07:30.230 --> 00:07:32.529 was really, really young, I actually thought 00:07:32.529 --> 00:07:36.430 Back in Black started side A of my vinyl album 00:07:36.430 --> 00:07:40.449 and thought Hell's Bells was side B. I understand 00:07:40.449 --> 00:07:44.259 that the song listing was. hell's bells on side 00:07:44.259 --> 00:07:46.879 a and back in black and side b but because i 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.699 loved back in black so much i always started 00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:53.060 with side b and then played through to side a 00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:55.379 kind of in a reverse side order kind of thing 00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:58.259 which i love doing as a kid i don't do that anymore 00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:01.459 but man maybe i have to because i do remember 00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:04.060 loving back in black in that weird sequence of 00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:06.560 side b followed by side a now i almost want to 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.319 think of what the car self -titled album would 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.180 sound like if i did it with that but i digress 00:08:10.899 --> 00:08:14.579 ACDC, Back in Black. What a killer way to kick 00:08:14.579 --> 00:08:18.560 off this ultimate mixtape. Jim has been a three 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.920 -peat guest here on my weekly mixtape. So thankful 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.920 for the conversations we've had together. We 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:27.139 did a complete catalog dive talking about all 00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:31.279 of Moe's catalog. We did an album dive on Moe's 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.039 latest studio release, Circle of Giants. And 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.799 he joined me this summer for the ultimate concert 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:40.529 set list, which is his personal. ultimate concert 00:08:40.529 --> 00:08:43.730 set list. And I'll tell you, Mo is a jam band, 00:08:43.990 --> 00:08:47.730 but his ultimate concert set list does not jam. 00:08:48.169 --> 00:08:52.309 It rocks. So if you want to be surprised, check 00:08:52.309 --> 00:08:54.110 it out. There's a lot of curveballs in that one. 00:08:54.210 --> 00:08:56.789 It's such a fun conversation. Obviously, Mo, 00:08:56.929 --> 00:08:59.970 one of my favorite jam bands on the planet. So 00:08:59.970 --> 00:09:02.409 thankful for his friendship and coming on the 00:09:02.409 --> 00:09:05.289 show so many times to talk all things Mo. And 00:09:05.289 --> 00:09:07.850 when season two rolls around, I look forward 00:09:07.850 --> 00:09:10.610 to talking with him again. But with that, we 00:09:10.610 --> 00:09:13.649 are going to move on to the next track for the 00:09:13.649 --> 00:09:17.370 ultimate mixtape. And this is from D .T. Carell 00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:22.110 of Space Castle. Gut reaction, Whole Lotta Rosie 00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:26.629 by ACDC. Wow. So I grew up with parents who were 00:09:26.629 --> 00:09:29.370 teenagers in the 70s and 80s and they were really 00:09:29.370 --> 00:09:31.309 big into hard rock and whatnot. So I was essentially 00:09:31.309 --> 00:09:33.889 raised on it. But Whole Lotta Rosie is a song 00:09:33.889 --> 00:09:35.309 that's always stuck with me and it's one of my 00:09:35.309 --> 00:09:37.730 favorites of all time because every time we get 00:09:37.730 --> 00:09:40.990 to that solo by Angus Young, I get goosebumps 00:09:40.990 --> 00:09:43.710 still to this day. It's one of the reasons why 00:09:43.710 --> 00:09:45.690 I love hard rock. It's one of the reasons why 00:09:45.690 --> 00:09:47.769 ACDC is one of my favorite bands of all time. 00:09:48.149 --> 00:09:50.610 And that song is quintessential to why I just 00:09:50.610 --> 00:09:53.250 love music and guitar and rock and roll in general. 00:09:53.949 --> 00:09:56.529 Yes, you heard that correct. We are going back 00:09:56.529 --> 00:09:59.809 to back ACDC to kick things off tonight. Back 00:09:59.809 --> 00:10:03.629 in Black, followed by Whole Lotta Rosie. Whole 00:10:03.629 --> 00:10:06.210 Lotta Rosie is such a killer song. I love when 00:10:06.210 --> 00:10:08.610 Guns N' Roses redid it. There's just something, 00:10:08.649 --> 00:10:10.850 it's so down and dirty and it's everything you 00:10:10.850 --> 00:10:13.529 love about the ACDC sound. So I love the pick. 00:10:14.059 --> 00:10:17.279 DT is killing it over on YouTube at Space Castle. 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.480 If you are into nerd and geek culture, video 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.879 games, toys, movies, cartoons, TV shows, DT is 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.899 your guy. A lot of fun stuff going on over there. 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:32.179 He produces such great content. You'll be thankful 00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:34.620 you watched it. So be sure to check out Space 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:37.080 Castle over on YouTube and let them know that 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.179 Brian Colburn from My Weekly Mixtape sent you. 00:10:39.629 --> 00:10:42.210 All right, a double dose of ACDC to kick things 00:10:42.210 --> 00:10:46.169 off. Where do we go from here? Now, in this list 00:10:46.169 --> 00:10:48.730 of the songs that made you fall in love with 00:10:48.730 --> 00:10:51.789 music, some people gave more than one answer. 00:10:51.850 --> 00:10:54.190 They answered both sides of it. So with that 00:10:54.190 --> 00:10:58.250 said, that adds another complex challenge to 00:10:58.250 --> 00:11:01.970 this, and that is trying to put in songs that 00:11:01.970 --> 00:11:06.289 might not go together, such as this first of 00:11:06.289 --> 00:11:09.639 two picks. From C .J. Pierce of Drowning Pool. 00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:14.659 Well, I'm going to be honest. It's funny because 00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:17.279 Eurovision movie is playing right now. But I 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:21.159 can't lie. My first time just comprehending music 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.480 as a very young child, my dad had this big stereo 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.159 and an 8 -track recorder. And he put in the Ava 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.740 8 -track and Dancing Queen came on. And that's 00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:31.700 my first thing I ever remember hearing music 00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:33.379 while I was like, what is this? That's why I 00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:35.570 crack up. with that movie because he's up there 00:11:35.570 --> 00:11:37.789 just like, what is this I'm dancing? It's ABBA. 00:11:37.990 --> 00:11:40.470 But it's ABBA. I mean, you can't deny it. ABBA's 00:11:40.470 --> 00:11:43.610 freaking amazing. But yeah, that's one thing. 00:11:43.769 --> 00:11:45.990 And then, dude, just over, I mean, like Led Zeppelin, 00:11:46.070 --> 00:11:47.629 man, like never gets old. That was a big impression 00:11:47.629 --> 00:11:49.370 for me as well because my dad played bass and 00:11:49.370 --> 00:11:51.929 sang and, you know, he was all about the Led 00:11:51.929 --> 00:11:54.490 Zeppelin. So it was ABBA and Led Zeppelin. But 00:11:54.490 --> 00:11:57.509 it, dude, anything from Led Zeppelin, man, you 00:11:57.509 --> 00:11:59.149 know, rock and roll was just such a big influence. 00:11:59.350 --> 00:12:02.789 You know, that song still gets me going. It's 00:12:02.789 --> 00:12:05.269 forever just, Something about it, man. Maybe 00:12:05.269 --> 00:12:08.070 it just amps me up. It's timeless, man. So there 00:12:08.070 --> 00:12:12.169 you have it. In this world, ACDC, Twofer, followed 00:12:12.169 --> 00:12:15.610 by ABBA's Dancing Queen, followed by Led Zeppelin's 00:12:15.610 --> 00:12:19.769 Rock and Roll. And you know what? I dig it. And 00:12:19.769 --> 00:12:21.990 I bet some of you out there are going, wait, 00:12:22.049 --> 00:12:24.710 what? But yeah, that's the beauty of a mixtape. 00:12:24.750 --> 00:12:26.809 It could be whatever you want. These are songs 00:12:26.809 --> 00:12:28.549 that made you fall in love with music. There 00:12:28.549 --> 00:12:30.990 are no right or wrong answers here. I love it. 00:12:31.370 --> 00:12:34.250 Two shots of ACDC followed by ABBA and Led Zeppelin. 00:12:34.289 --> 00:12:36.629 Let's do this. And you know what? Let's make 00:12:36.629 --> 00:12:39.929 that a double shot of ACDC followed by ABBA and 00:12:39.929 --> 00:12:43.090 a double shot of Led Zeppelin. As next up is 00:12:43.090 --> 00:12:45.490 Kevin Brown of the Tom Petty Project with his 00:12:45.490 --> 00:12:48.330 pick for the ultimate mixtape. I'm going to go. 00:12:48.409 --> 00:12:51.129 This one's easy for me. Okay. Black Dog by Led 00:12:51.129 --> 00:12:53.750 Zeppelin. Because when I heard that riff kick 00:12:53.750 --> 00:12:57.110 in. That was when I knew, oh, this is the music 00:12:57.110 --> 00:12:58.570 that I want to listen to for the rest of my life. 00:12:58.610 --> 00:13:00.470 I want to listen to rock and roll. It was that 00:13:00.470 --> 00:13:04.210 visceral, immediate, my blood started pumping, 00:13:04.330 --> 00:13:06.909 my adrenaline was up, and at five, six, seven 00:13:06.909 --> 00:13:09.230 years old, however old I was, wearing huge headphones, 00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:11.090 sitting in front of my mom and dad's vinyl player 00:13:11.090 --> 00:13:14.070 with a dirty, ratty box full of vinyl records, 00:13:14.330 --> 00:13:16.450 put that on, and it changed my life. Absolutely, 00:13:16.850 --> 00:13:19.070 it was when I knew what kind of music I wanted 00:13:19.070 --> 00:13:20.730 to listen to for the rest of my life. So Black 00:13:20.730 --> 00:13:24.480 Dobby Led Zeppelin, easy. Easy one. If you're 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.539 a Tom Petty fan, be sure to check out all the 00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:28.899 things Kevin has going on over at the Tom Petty 00:13:28.899 --> 00:13:31.039 Project. You'll be thankful you did. A lot of 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:32.539 great stories, a lot of great interviews and 00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:35.360 discussions over there. Kevin joined me on the 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.000 Ultimate Tom Petty playlist, so be sure to check 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.960 that out in the archives if you want to hear 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.299 a conversation about all things Tom Petty, Mud 00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:46.120 Crutch, Traveling Wilburys, and obviously the 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.460 Heartbreakers. We cover it all. Be sure to check 00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:51.779 that one out. But next up on the Ultimate Mixtape. 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.779 We have comedian Don Jameson and host of the 00:13:55.779 --> 00:13:59.559 Rockstrap podcast with his pick to follow up 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:03.220 a double shot of ACDC, ABBA, and a double shot 00:14:03.220 --> 00:14:06.340 of Led Zeppelin. Where do we go from here? Oh, 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.960 boy. Well, again, I have to go back to the first 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.980 heavy rock song that I ever heard in my life, 00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:16.179 and it's Detroit Rock City. It can't be stated 00:14:16.179 --> 00:14:20.059 the impact that it had on me and has had on me 00:14:20.059 --> 00:14:23.519 over the years because without putting the needle 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:27.519 into those grooves and hearing that song, I would 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:32.200 probably be listening to the music that my parents 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:35.299 used to have in their album collection, which 00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:38.379 was, I think, the heaviest album they had in 00:14:38.379 --> 00:14:44.769 their collection was Roberta Flack. It's funny 00:14:44.769 --> 00:14:48.570 because I can never remember exactly how I saw 00:14:48.570 --> 00:14:52.690 Kiss, but I did. And I'm so glad that I convinced 00:14:52.690 --> 00:14:56.309 my mom to go get me Destroyer. And like I said, 00:14:56.350 --> 00:14:58.970 when I put it on, it instantly changed my life. 00:14:59.029 --> 00:15:02.379 So it's that song. Don is an incredibly funny 00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:05.279 comedian. Make sure to check out his latest comedy 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.679 album, No Sleep Till McSorley's, which you can 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.299 find on all of the streaming sites, as well as 00:15:11.299 --> 00:15:13.879 on both of the episode pages that Don joined 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.399 me for in the archives. I've got it there. Plus, 00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:18.899 if you want to buy physical copies as well, they're 00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:22.620 available at Experience Vinyl. All right, so 00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:26.419 we got Kiss in the mix. Where do we go from here? 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.960 There's still a lot of rock to cover. There's 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:30.799 a lot, a lot of people chimed in with rock this 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:32.720 time around. So we're going to stay in that tone 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:37.379 and go with this pick from Coco Kinnan of Winona 00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:42.799 Fighter. Makes me fall in love with music over 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:52.620 and over again. And I think it has to be, oh 00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:55.399 man, I mean, I got to go with my favorite band. 00:15:56.199 --> 00:16:00.580 Every time I hear Best of You by the Foo Fighters, 00:16:00.659 --> 00:16:05.860 I'm just blown away. Which, you know, Dave's 00:16:05.860 --> 00:16:08.399 in a little bit of trouble right now, so I don't 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:11.740 condone that. Let me just say that right now. 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.100 I don't condone his actions, but that's a beautiful 00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:19.679 song. So that made both the ultimate mixtape 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.440 that you put into a time capsule and the song 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.940 that made you fall in love with music. I mean, 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:29.240 just goosebumps every time. What can I say about 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.440 Winona fighter? One of my favorite albums of 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:35.000 2025 thus far, my apologies to the chef. If you 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.000 have not heard this album, this is female fronted 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.720 pop punk. This is everything I love about nineties 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.139 pop punk and two thousands pop punk and 2010s 00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:47.019 pop punk and modern pop punk all rolled into 00:16:47.019 --> 00:16:49.980 one. They are so much fun. They are so incredible 00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:52.240 live and they are blowing up this year. They've 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.899 already announced a deluxe edition of the album 00:16:54.899 --> 00:16:57.480 that's coming out later this year. So this is 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.139 the, year that Winona fighter hit the scene and 00:17:00.139 --> 00:17:02.200 hit the scene hard. And there's a reason for 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.680 it. Be sure to check out their music. And Coco 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.140 was a guest twice on my weekly mixtape one to 00:17:08.140 --> 00:17:10.619 create the ultimate nineties punk rock playlist 00:17:10.619 --> 00:17:14.519 with me and two to do an album dive on my apologies 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.579 to the chef. So if you want to hear an episode 00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:18.539 where you can hear the songs and the stories 00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:20.859 behind them, be sure to check that one out in 00:17:20.859 --> 00:17:24.420 the archives and man, you know what? We had a 00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:27.059 twofer followed by a single band followed by 00:17:27.059 --> 00:17:30.299 a twofer followed by a single band. We're going 00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:33.779 to follow it with another twofer as Patreon mixtaper 00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:37.380 Tom Hutchinson also chose the Foo Fighters for 00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:40.880 his pick for the ultimate mixtape. Hi, Brian. 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.000 I'm my weekly mixtape gang. Hey, I'm Tom Hutchinson, 00:17:45.099 --> 00:17:48.319 and I am here to talk about the song that made 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.950 me fall in love with music. And that song. would 00:17:51.950 --> 00:17:54.930 be Everlong by the Foo Fighters. This is one 00:17:54.930 --> 00:17:57.470 of the first songs I ever remember hearing in 00:17:57.470 --> 00:18:00.670 my childhood. I was probably about three, four 00:18:00.670 --> 00:18:05.170 years old, and I remember hearing this song on 00:18:05.170 --> 00:18:07.529 the riff here in Detroit, very famous rock musician 00:18:07.529 --> 00:18:11.630 with my dad, and I remember just having that 00:18:11.630 --> 00:18:15.029 guitar riff burn into my head as a little kid 00:18:15.029 --> 00:18:16.910 for many years, and I didn't know what the song 00:18:16.910 --> 00:18:21.509 was until I got a little bit older. and I came 00:18:21.509 --> 00:18:24.069 across this song when I was doing a report on 00:18:24.069 --> 00:18:27.809 Nirvana, and I figured out that Dave Grohl was 00:18:27.809 --> 00:18:30.190 in Nirvana, and in the Foo Fighters, this had 00:18:30.190 --> 00:18:33.089 to be about sixth grade, when I was figuring 00:18:33.089 --> 00:18:35.369 this out, and I fell in love with this song, 00:18:35.490 --> 00:18:37.289 fell in love with the Color and the Shape album, 00:18:37.430 --> 00:18:42.089 and I ended up listening to that song non -stop 00:18:42.089 --> 00:18:45.839 after that. It's become one of my favorite songs, 00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:48.640 and it has opened me up to so many different 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.440 musical artists, from the Butthole Surfers, to 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.200 Modest Mouse, to anything that was played on 00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.880 alternative radio, you know, at that time in 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.700 the 90s and early 2000s. It's a fantastic song, 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:05.779 and it means so much to me. And the music video 00:19:05.779 --> 00:19:09.049 version of it... is way better than the radio 00:19:09.049 --> 00:19:12.250 version. It has the extended loop of the guitar 00:19:12.250 --> 00:19:14.430 breakdown at the end, and it always makes me 00:19:14.430 --> 00:19:17.950 so happy to hear that version. But if it wasn't 00:19:17.950 --> 00:19:20.630 forever long by the Foo Fighters, who knows what 00:19:20.630 --> 00:19:23.950 my musical taste would be. I also want to say 00:19:23.950 --> 00:19:26.210 cheers to you, Brian, and congratulations on 00:19:26.210 --> 00:19:29.230 a wonderful show. It's been nothing but an honor 00:19:29.230 --> 00:19:31.670 to be a guest on it, and I wish you nothing but 00:19:31.670 --> 00:19:34.890 the best, my friend. Cheers. Ever long. I know 00:19:34.890 --> 00:19:38.470 that could be seen as a side closer or a cassette 00:19:38.470 --> 00:19:41.430 closer. So, yeah, we're not even anywhere near 00:19:41.430 --> 00:19:43.920 the ending of this thing yet. And I love the 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:45.920 pick and I love it fitting in right here after 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:49.059 best of you from Coco Kinnon. So Tom, I want 00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:51.599 to thank you sincerely for all the support you've 00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.480 shown my weekly mixtape over the years, all the 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:56.759 great conversations we've had in the Patreon 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.019 forums, as well as on social media. Thank you 00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:01.920 for listening and thank you for being a part 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.460 of this community. It truly means the world to 00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:07.680 me. And now we've had two bands followed by a 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.160 band, followed by two bands, followed by a band, 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.450 followed by two bands. Followed by a band. And 00:20:14.450 --> 00:20:17.589 this pick comes from John Laurie, drummer for 00:20:17.589 --> 00:20:20.109 Tantric and Smile Empty Soul. Let's hear what 00:20:20.109 --> 00:20:23.230 he's got to say with his choice for the ultimate 00:20:23.230 --> 00:20:29.710 mixtape. Putting me on the spot again. Hold on. 00:20:29.750 --> 00:20:33.150 Let me think of it. Let me think of it. Jeez. 00:20:34.250 --> 00:20:37.410 OK, I'll just go with it because it was the thing 00:20:37.410 --> 00:20:41.450 that. introduced me to music in general, and 00:20:41.450 --> 00:20:43.750 I think it's one of the best drum parts ever. 00:20:44.410 --> 00:20:48.089 I'm going to go with Follow You Home by Nickelback. 00:20:48.190 --> 00:20:52.329 That was the song that drum -wise, I was like, 00:20:52.430 --> 00:20:55.730 oh, this is cool. This is something that I want 00:20:55.730 --> 00:20:59.109 to try to be able to do. And Daniel Adair, being 00:20:59.109 --> 00:21:01.609 just one of the most phenomenal drummers ever, 00:21:01.710 --> 00:21:05.130 does such a great job on this opening track of 00:21:05.130 --> 00:21:07.950 the newest record that he got to be a part of, 00:21:08.009 --> 00:21:10.630 All The Right Reasons record. So yeah, I'm going 00:21:10.630 --> 00:21:13.470 with Follow You Home. All right, we're getting 00:21:13.470 --> 00:21:15.710 into modern hard rock with some nickel back there. 00:21:15.869 --> 00:21:18.670 Obviously, if you do not follow John's Drum Studio, 00:21:18.849 --> 00:21:22.529 which is J -O -N -S, Drum Studio on social media, 00:21:22.569 --> 00:21:25.309 make sure to do it on Instagram, on TikTok.

If you're 00:21:27.990 --> 00:21:30.349 a musician or a fan of music, you don't want 00:21:30.349 --> 00:21:32.390 to miss that follow. You'll be thankful you did. 00:21:32.769 --> 00:21:35.869 John was a guest so many times on my weekly mixtape, 00:21:35.890 --> 00:21:37.630 Through the Run.

It's 00:21:40.089 --> 00:21:42.309 been truly a pleasure talking music with him, 00:21:42.349 --> 00:21:44.829 and I look forward to talking more music with 00:21:44.829 --> 00:21:47.250 him when we start rolling around season two here 00:21:47.250 --> 00:21:51.349 down the road. But up next, we have a chance 00:21:51.349 --> 00:21:55.089 at another twofer, and you're getting another 00:21:55.089 --> 00:21:58.750 twofer, except it's not another Nickelback song. 00:21:59.170 --> 00:22:01.750 It's two different submissions for the Ultimate 00:22:01.750 --> 00:22:06.069 Mixtape filed by one Mr. Barry Kirch of Shinedown. 00:22:06.130 --> 00:22:08.660 Let's hear what he has to say. That's not a fair 00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:18.799 question at all. Oh, shit. We didn't grow up 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:20.359 with a lot of music in the house because my mom 00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:21.980 doesn't like loud noises. So it was always listening 00:22:21.980 --> 00:22:23.440 to it in the headphones. My dad being his headphones. 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:25.980 And so my brother, but I have an older brother 00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:31.440 who pretty much turned me on to music. I'm going 00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:33.200 to have to give a two part answer. I have to. 00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:37.380 Initially, I would say it would have been. Def 00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:39.480 Leppard's pyromania, the opening track on that 00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:40.880 record. And I'm blanking on the name right now 00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:43.420 because my brother gave me the tape and talking 00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:46.160 rock rock till you drop. Yes. That's the one. 00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:48.440 Thank you. Cause I kept stealing all of his tapes 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.259 and stuff. And he gave me that one, one summer 00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:54.440 and I listened to it and I was in the little 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:56.680 tree house. I was very young. It's probably eight, 00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:58.559 nine years old when that record came out. And 00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:02.160 I was like, this is it. This is it for me. It 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:04.240 was, you know, Def Leppard was the first concert 00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.099 I ever went to on the hysteria run. Nice. It 00:23:07.099 --> 00:23:11.299 changed my mind. And then this band out of England 00:23:11.299 --> 00:23:15.220 called The Police. We had a friend of ours, a 00:23:15.220 --> 00:23:18.519 family friend. Her daughter was in Panama City, 00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:22.019 Florida. The daughter was a college girl at the 00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:24.839 time. Came to spring break in Panama City with 00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:27.059 her college friends. And they stayed at our house. 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:29.119 And I was a young kid. And they turned the stereo 00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.440 on. My mother begrudgingly let them play loud 00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:35.180 music, which is not typically loud. And they 00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:37.700 started playing The Police. And I went, what's 00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:40.519 this? That one changed me. Because that wouldn't 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:41.720 have been played by my brother. It wouldn't have 00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:43.059 been played by anyone else. I might have heard 00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:44.700 it on the radio, but I was such a metalhead at 00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:46.740 that time. When I heard the police and I heard 00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:49.539 the drumming of Stuart Copeland, I went, this 00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:50.920 is different. And at that time, I was already 00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:53.240 playing drums. So I was hook, line, and sinker. 00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:56.180 Was there a specific song from the police that 00:23:56.180 --> 00:23:58.220 you really... What was the song at that time? 00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.759 I think... I want to say it was wrapped around 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.740 your finger in that snare. It just like... Took 00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:06.720 my head off. I was like, what is this? It was 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:08.339 that and then Spirits in the Material World. 00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:11.039 One of those two songs. And then as a drummer 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:13.119 yourself, I would love to know your thoughts 00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:15.720 on Stuart. Because I've always, we're pretty 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.259 similar in age. My first concert was David Lee 00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:22.200 Roth and Poison on the Skyscraper tour. So I 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:24.680 wasn't too far. I was a little bit behind you. 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.960 But Diamond Dave was still out there playing 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:29.099 mostly Van Halen and a couple of solo things 00:24:29.099 --> 00:24:32.039 at the time. Right, right. But there was always 00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.279 something about Stuart Copeland's drumming that 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:38.259 was hypnotic. It was heavy, but it was also nuanced. 00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:42.920 And he's a very unexplainable drummer. When I 00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.559 try to explain the mastery of Stuart Copeland, 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.900 I have a hard time doing it. As a drummer yourself 00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:52.160 who has found a lot of success in music, how 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.079 would you describe him? He didn't give two shits. 00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:57.920 And I think that's what made him great. He still 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:01.519 is great. He... He was a lead drummer. He's the 00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.759 polar opposite of me. He played on top of the 00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:06.940 music, but it felt so good because he's a punk 00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:08.640 rock guy and listened to a lot of reggae. And 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:10.240 those two things came together and it was like 00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:13.880 his style. He plays like Stuart Copeland, much 00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:17.440 in the vein of somebody like Mitch Mitchell from 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:21.819 Jimi Hendrix or Keith Moon, who who unabashedly 00:25:21.819 --> 00:25:23.740 played whatever the hell they wanted. And the 00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:25.920 band better just hold on for dear life. And that's 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:28.000 why he and Sting never got along. The reason 00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.599 Sting and Stewart just hated each other is because 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:35.619 Sting is a perfect song craftsman, but he expects 00:25:35.619 --> 00:25:38.960 perfection. And Stewart was like, that's not 00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:40.759 me, buddy. I'm going to play it the way I feel 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:42.339 tonight, and it's going to be my tempo, and you 00:25:42.339 --> 00:25:44.200 better hold on, Sting. You better find me. Fight 00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.539 like cats and dogs. And Stewart would be the 00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:49.019 first one to admit that to this day. The reason 00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:50.480 they didn't get along is because Stewart doesn't 00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:53.980 give a fuck. Well, I guess it's safe then to 00:25:53.980 --> 00:25:56.279 say it's good that you and Eric are able to work 00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:58.880 so well together as the backdrop for Shinedown. 00:25:58.900 --> 00:26:01.119 Absolutely. We are a different animal by far. 00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.619 Deaf leopards rock rock till you drop and the 00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:08.099 police is wrapped around your finger. Now, believe 00:26:08.099 --> 00:26:11.059 it or not, coming out of Nickelback, it actually 00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:13.180 works in playlist form because you've got the 00:26:13.180 --> 00:26:15.500 modern hard rock of Nickelback's Follow You Home. 00:26:16.059 --> 00:26:19.420 easing back into the 80s hard rock of Def Leppard, 00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:21.720 and then taking you out of the hard rock side 00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:23.900 of things into the polices wrapped around your 00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:27.119 finger, which leaves the door open to go into 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.220 some different directions. So I do want to say 00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:34.700 I got a chance this summer to meet up with both 00:26:34.700 --> 00:26:38.400 Barry and Eric Bass of Shinedown, as well as 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:42.339 Brent and Zach at their first ever headlining 00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:45.759 show at Madison Square Garden this summer. Truly 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.759 an honor to be a part of that evening. It was 00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:51.799 a chance to shake their hands and thank them 00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:54.460 for all the incredible music they do. Eric's 00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:56.940 got his solo album out, I Had a Name. Be sure 00:26:56.940 --> 00:27:00.200 to check that out. It is an incredibly fun concept 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.779 album. Shinedown is working on Shinedown 8, but 00:27:03.779 --> 00:27:06.720 has three songs out right now. Killing Fields, 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.960 365, and Dance Kid Dance, which is also the name 00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:13.299 of the tour that they're currently out on, in 00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:17.059 support of... 20 plus years of Shinedown and 00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:19.700 some incredible music. They put on one hell of 00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:22.319 a performance. And I'll throw up some pics from 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.319 that meet and greet over on the episode page. 00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:28.220 Barry and Eric, thank you both so much for being 00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:32.019 a part of the My Weekly Mixtape catalog. And 00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:35.720 thank you even more so for the music. But I should 00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:39.400 add, don't worry. Eric Bass's pic is coming up 00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:43.019 later in the evening tonight. But. Coming out 00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:44.839 of the police is wrapped around your finger. 00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:47.900 We could go a little deeper now into this classic 00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:49.700 rock territory. So I think we're going to do 00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:52.200 that with this pick for the ultimate mixtape 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.420 from Chris Ballew of the Presidents of the United 00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:59.359 States of America. I mean, the song that pops 00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:01.839 into my mind is More Than a Feeling by Boston. 00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:06.900 I just, I feel like that song, and it's not like 00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:10.769 I want to make music like that. But I just feel 00:28:10.769 --> 00:28:15.490 like it has some leveling effect on me, where 00:28:15.490 --> 00:28:18.950 when I listen to it, I just feel... You know 00:28:18.950 --> 00:28:22.210 what it is? I feel completely taken care of. 00:28:22.869 --> 00:28:26.289 There's no bum notes. There's no sonic friction 00:28:26.289 --> 00:28:29.589 that isn't pleasant. There's no distortion that 00:28:29.589 --> 00:28:33.170 isn't harmonically rich. I want to make music, 00:28:33.210 --> 00:28:35.940 and I want to listen to music that... cuddles 00:28:35.940 --> 00:28:39.680 me with harmony like i'm not into difficult music 00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:44.380 or somebody who's willfully out of tune or the 00:28:44.380 --> 00:28:46.220 music is abrasive in a way that's supposed to 00:28:46.220 --> 00:28:47.740 make you think well it's difficult to listen 00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:50.000 to so it must be important or whatever you know 00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:53.559 what i mean like that dynamic is totally not 00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.079 what i want to do i want i want a bath of harmony 00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.880 and that's what more than a feeling does every 00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:06.319 time i listen to it i'm like take me away The 00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.619 presidents of the United States of America celebrates 00:29:08.619 --> 00:29:11.500 its 30th anniversary this year. And there is 00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:15.279 a full 30th anniversary album dive episode with 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.339 Chris over in the episode archives. Be sure to 00:29:18.339 --> 00:29:20.539 check that one out. Going down memory lane, talking 00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:23.880 about everything you would love to know about 00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:26.299 the presidents of the United States of America. 00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:29.480 And yes, folks, we talk about Weird Al's gump 00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:32.259 as well. So be sure to check that one out. And 00:29:32.259 --> 00:29:34.579 while we're on the subject of Boston's More Than 00:29:34.579 --> 00:29:37.079 a Feeling, one of the first guitar parts I ever 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:38.960 learned on acoustic guitar, by the way, I should 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.640 add, we're going to stay in that classic rock 00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:44.859 vein and go with my friend Dave Zalatouris, who 00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:47.680 is host of the Beer in Front podcast with his 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:51.180 pick for the ultimate mixtape. Thanks, Brian, 00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:55.380 for having me on. The question, what song has 00:29:55.380 --> 00:29:58.019 made me fall in love with music over and over 00:29:58.019 --> 00:30:02.829 again every time I hear it? is a song that we 00:30:02.829 --> 00:30:06.069 both have actually discussed before back when 00:30:06.069 --> 00:30:08.769 you were on my show a couple years back when 00:30:08.769 --> 00:30:12.549 we were talking about the year 1971 in music. 00:30:12.670 --> 00:30:15.750 The song I'm choosing is L .A. Woman from the 00:30:15.750 --> 00:30:19.549 Doors. I've loved that song from the first time 00:30:19.549 --> 00:30:23.849 I've heard it. Had to be on classic rock radio 00:30:23.849 --> 00:30:28.289 in Chicago, you know, back around 1980, 1981. 00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:32.720 when the Doors made this like resurgence after 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.140 Jim was on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:39.799 And it just blew me away. And every time I hear 00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:43.680 it, you pick up little things about the song. 00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:45.299 And it's just like, even though you've heard 00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:49.660 it a thousand times before, it still always sounds 00:30:49.660 --> 00:30:54.000 fresh to me. And, you know, doing some research 00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.599 on the song, like when we spoke earlier. to now 00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:01.380 that you know the addition of a bass player on 00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:05.559 that song was really important jerry chef who 00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:09.579 was in elvis's band and going over his bio all 00:31:09.579 --> 00:31:13.279 the people that jerry chef played with is just 00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:16.900 amazing in itself but he really added another 00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:21.539 layer to the l .a woman's song everything about 00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:27.359 that song is great from ray's keyboards to John's 00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:31.579 drumming, Robbie's guitar work. It's just a phenomenal 00:31:31.579 --> 00:31:35.099 song. I think I read somewhere where Robbie Krieger 00:31:35.099 --> 00:31:39.539 said that LA woman is the essential doors song. 00:31:39.660 --> 00:31:43.559 And I completely agree. I just listened to it 00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:48.059 now before I'm recording this. And it's even 00:31:48.059 --> 00:31:52.079 now just completely like blows me away. So I 00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:55.519 appreciate you having me on to talk about. You 00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:58.740 know, music. I appreciate everything you've done. 00:31:59.019 --> 00:32:02.400 Our friendship over the years with various podcast 00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:06.240 projects. I wish you all the best.

And I'm sure we will see 00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:14.519 each other down the road. Take care, Brian. Love 00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:18.480 you, my man.

I have had some fun conversations 00:32:24.420 --> 00:32:26.940 with Dave over the years, dating all the way 00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:29.839 back to my days with Playlist Wars, as well as 00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:32.960 during my weekly mixtapes run. I appreciate his 00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:35.220 friendship. He has an incredible podcast over 00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:37.880 there, especially if you're a beer fanatic. He's 00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:42.119 got his finger on the pulse of all things. beer 00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:43.819 and it's right in front of them just like the 00:32:43.819 --> 00:32:46.259 name says so be sure to check it out and i thank 00:32:46.259 --> 00:32:49.480 you dave for your friendship and for the incredible 00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:51.599 conversations we've had and for being such a 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.299 huge supporter of my weekly mixtape over the 00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:57.000 years it really means the world to me now with 00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:58.819 that we're going to stay in this classic rock 00:32:58.819 --> 00:33:00.980 vibe and we're going to go with this pick from 00:33:00.980 --> 00:33:05.980 jim butler of children of the 80s um so i'm going 00:33:05.980 --> 00:33:09.579 to go back to the very first song that i remember 00:33:09.579 --> 00:33:13.920 hearing I'm going to go with Dream On by Aerosmith. 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:16.700 It was released the year of my birth, but then 00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:20.519 it was re -released again in 1976. So I would 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.859 have been about two, two and a half. And my parents 00:33:23.859 --> 00:33:27.420 said that they will both claim now, even though 00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:30.019 they're divorced. They claim that I would be 00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:32.720 standing up in between them in the car when that 00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:35.319 music playing, just rocking back and forth, saying 00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:38.460 dream on over and over again as I'm crying. I 00:33:38.460 --> 00:33:40.880 guess because it just touched me so much. The 00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:43.059 song just touched me so much that I would be 00:33:43.059 --> 00:33:46.480 crying and singing at the same time. And so that 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:49.660 is the song I think that made me at least fall 00:33:49.660 --> 00:33:51.500 in love with music. I probably don't love it 00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:54.480 as much as I used to, but I still do love it. 00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.640 And to hear them do it in concert. The first 00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.220 time I saw him in concert was amazing. And then 00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:01.599 the second time I saw him in concert, they're 00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:03.099 a little bit older. It wasn't quite as good, 00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:06.880 but it was still still pretty good. Another absolute 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.880 anthem, Aerosmith's Dream On. This would definitely 00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:12.159 make my list for one of the songs that made me 00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:15.280 fall in love with music. I remember very vividly 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:17.280 getting Aerosmith's greatest hits on cassette 00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:20.440 from a Kmart in North Jersey as a kid. And I 00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.320 played that thing on an endless loop and Dream 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.699 On became just. an absolute favorite of mine. 00:34:26.780 --> 00:34:29.340 I love the pick and I can't say enough great 00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:31.719 things about Children of the 80s. And I'm going 00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:34.380 to put a pin in that because Lindsay Butler's 00:34:34.380 --> 00:34:36.219 up a little later on in the episode with her 00:34:36.219 --> 00:34:38.719 pick for the ultimate mixtape. So be sure to 00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.639 check out Children of the 80s and I'll plug them 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.000 again a little later on. But with that, moving 00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.380 on from Dream On, we're going to go with Cody 00:34:46.380 --> 00:34:49.360 Hanson of Hinder's pick for the ultimate mixtape. 00:34:49.820 --> 00:34:53.610 That's a really tough one. I would say. a song 00:34:53.610 --> 00:34:57.510 called shooting star by bad company that song 00:34:57.510 --> 00:35:00.530 is i would say that's the song that got me into 00:35:00.530 --> 00:35:03.889 back into rock music whenever i was younger like 00:35:03.889 --> 00:35:07.010 i said i had older siblings and um they were 00:35:07.010 --> 00:35:10.590 really into like rap gangster rap you know so 00:35:10.590 --> 00:35:12.949 whenever i was i was a little kid i was running 00:35:12.949 --> 00:35:14.889 around listening to things i shouldn't have been 00:35:14.889 --> 00:35:18.469 listening to two live nwa you know so i was really 00:35:18.469 --> 00:35:21.940 into that And whenever I heard Shooting Star 00:35:21.940 --> 00:35:24.760 for the first time, everything changed. You know, 00:35:24.780 --> 00:35:27.980 that's the first time I'd really heard a rock 00:35:27.980 --> 00:35:31.400 song that told a story almost like a movie. You 00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:32.719 know, when you're listening to the song, you 00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:34.900 can see the entire thing playing out in front 00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:37.039 of you. And I just I thought that was really 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.059 cool. It was the first time I like I said, first 00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:41.360 time I'd heard anything like that. So that's 00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:43.849 one song that does that for me. Hinder's new 00:35:43.849 --> 00:35:46.869 album, Back to Life, is really, really incredible. 00:35:47.210 --> 00:35:49.670 Bring Me Back to Life has been at the top of 00:35:49.670 --> 00:35:53.329 my 2025 playlist the entire year. Be sure to 00:35:53.329 --> 00:35:55.130 check out this album. There's so many great things 00:35:55.130 --> 00:35:57.610 going on in the Hinder camp. This is also the 00:35:57.610 --> 00:36:00.869 20th anniversary of Extreme Behavior, and we 00:36:00.869 --> 00:36:04.050 talk about both the anniversary of that album 00:36:04.050 --> 00:36:06.809 as well as Back to Life in the album dive episode 00:36:06.809 --> 00:36:09.309 that you can find in the My Weekly Mixtape archives. 00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:12.659 Cody, thank you so much for being a part of this 00:36:12.659 --> 00:36:15.579 show. Now, you went with Shooting Star from Bad 00:36:15.579 --> 00:36:17.280 Company. That's a song that I used to listen 00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:20.159 to a lot with my folks growing up, Big Bad Company 00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:22.480 and Free Fans, a lot of that classic rock stuff. 00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:25.719 So for the next choice for the ultimate mixtape, 00:36:25.900 --> 00:36:29.219 I'm actually going to chime in now with my pick 00:36:29.219 --> 00:36:32.440 because I feel like coming out of Shooting Star 00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:37.219 by Bad Company, my pick fits quite well. And 00:36:37.219 --> 00:36:41.340 that pick... is Peter Frampton's Do You Feel 00:36:41.340 --> 00:36:45.820 Like I Do from Frampton Comes Alive. Now, why 00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:49.139 did this song make me fall in love with music? 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.300 When I was a kid, I listened to anything my parents 00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:54.260 put on, and they would let me put on my albums, 00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:56.159 my Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Muppets, but 00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:57.920 I was always intent on hearing whatever they 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:00.780 wanted to put on too. And all the songs that 00:37:00.780 --> 00:37:02.820 they played eventually ended up in some way, 00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:05.099 shape, or form becoming some of my favorite songs 00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:09.159 of all time. And do you feel like I do? was truly 00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:12.579 the first long song that I ever fell in love 00:37:12.579 --> 00:37:15.539 with. A song that stretched well beyond 10 minutes. 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:19.420 I think that version was over 13 on the original 00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:22.480 album. And it kept my attention the entire time. 00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:24.539 I would sit in front of the stereo, just staring 00:37:24.539 --> 00:37:26.820 at the record, spinning round and round and round. 00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:29.159 With that, I'm also going to make a confession 00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.460 that you could laugh at me if you want. I understand. 00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:33.199 But I was a kid at the time. So are you going 00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:35.699 to laugh at a child for having an imagination? 00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:39.239 Shame on you. But when I was a kid growing up 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:42.179 listening to Peter Frampton's Do You Feel Like 00:37:42.179 --> 00:37:44.900 I Do, I legitimately thought when I closed my 00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:48.659 eyes that a guitar walked out on stage and started 00:37:48.659 --> 00:37:53.460 talking to Peter Frampton. And it wasn't until 00:37:53.460 --> 00:37:57.920 I got older and saw how he pulled it off that 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.719 that magic was ruined. But as a child, this song 00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:04.750 just... Captured my attention. And I would always 00:38:04.750 --> 00:38:07.590 ask my father if he could put on the talking 00:38:07.590 --> 00:38:11.789 guitar song next. So for him and for this ultimate 00:38:11.789 --> 00:38:14.090 mixtape, one of the songs that truly made me 00:38:14.090 --> 00:38:17.250 fall in love with music is Peter Frampton's. 00:38:17.289 --> 00:38:22.650 Do you feel like I do? So with that, we are going 00:38:22.650 --> 00:38:28.550 to round out side a of. This ultimate mixtape, 00:38:28.570 --> 00:38:30.730 the songs that make you fall in love with music. 00:38:30.769 --> 00:38:33.590 Yeah, it's an 120 minute or here because we got 00:38:33.590 --> 00:38:35.690 to fit a lot of songs. There's actually more 00:38:35.690 --> 00:38:38.730 than 15 songs for side B, but because of the 00:38:38.730 --> 00:38:42.030 length for do you feel like I do being the penultimate 00:38:42.030 --> 00:38:45.030 song on side A, I feel like I'm okay having a 00:38:45.030 --> 00:38:47.349 couple of extra tracks on side B. But with that 00:38:47.349 --> 00:38:51.670 said, here is Patreon mixtaper Brandon from Virginia's 00:38:51.670 --> 00:38:55.070 pick for the ultimate mixtape. Oh, that is a 00:38:55.070 --> 00:38:58.329 hard question, my friend. I've got to, you know, 00:38:58.389 --> 00:39:01.570 I think I might have to look at my Spotify list 00:39:01.570 --> 00:39:06.050 and find what's my most played song ever. Does 00:39:06.050 --> 00:39:10.389 that show that here? I would have to say the 00:39:10.389 --> 00:39:14.650 song that brings it back all the time. If I'm 00:39:14.650 --> 00:39:17.730 going to have to listen to a song over and over 00:39:17.730 --> 00:39:23.210 again, I might actually have to say The Wait. 00:39:24.170 --> 00:39:28.789 The band song, The Weight. Ooh, good pick. There's 00:39:28.789 --> 00:39:32.849 so many covers of it. Country, rock, reggae. 00:39:33.630 --> 00:39:35.730 It's just known throughout the world. And again, 00:39:35.789 --> 00:39:38.769 that feeling of take a load off and put the load 00:39:38.769 --> 00:39:41.690 on me, being there for someone. I have spent 00:39:41.690 --> 00:39:46.170 my entire adult life working with and for nonprofit 00:39:46.170 --> 00:39:50.190 organizations. And that's the feeling I get. 00:39:50.289 --> 00:39:54.440 We are the reason why. I'm doing this is to help. 00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.760 Help someone take the load off. Let me help you. 00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:00.880 I mean, I am civic association president for 00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:04.360 my neighborhood. Why? Because I want to help 00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.219 people. I work for a public television station 00:40:07.219 --> 00:40:11.239 because public television helps people. You know, 00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:13.480 I used to work for the National Multiple Sclerosis 00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:16.199 Society because what does it do? It helps people 00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:20.119 who have a chronic illness. So that song, The 00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:24.190 Wait, the band. Robbie Robertson wrote that and 00:40:24.190 --> 00:40:27.530 it just blew up from that moment on that it was 00:40:27.530 --> 00:40:31.050 released. I mean, what better way to close outside 00:40:31.050 --> 00:40:34.309 A than with the band? When I got to see the Love 00:40:34.309 --> 00:40:37.409 for LeVon concert with my father back in 2012, 00:40:37.590 --> 00:40:39.690 this closed out the whole show with all the musicians 00:40:39.690 --> 00:40:42.070 on stage. And it was such a powerful, beautiful 00:40:42.070 --> 00:40:44.710 moment seeing all that talent come together on 00:40:44.710 --> 00:40:48.820 this incredibly amazing song that just. encapsulates 00:40:48.820 --> 00:40:51.400 everything that's so amazing about music. It's 00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:53.719 just something you want to sing along with. The 00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:56.039 harmonies are beautiful. The music is lush. The 00:40:56.039 --> 00:40:58.980 guitars, everything about it just comes together 00:40:58.980 --> 00:41:03.599 in, sorry, perfect harmony, if you will. And 00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:05.519 there's something about this that feels like 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:09.199 the perfect exclamation point for side A of the 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:12.000 ultimate mixtape, the songs that made you fall 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:15.329 in love with music, which kicked off.

I would probably 00:42:50.340 --> 00:42:54.460 choose a random track that doesn't have any words 00:42:54.460 --> 00:42:56.920 in it. It doesn't need any words.

Be 00:44:55.730 --> 00:44:58.769 sure to check that out. Up next for the ultimate 00:44:58.769 --> 00:45:01.050 mixtape, the songs that made you fall in love 00:45:01.050 --> 00:45:04.050 with music is Chris Voss of The Record Company. 00:45:04.610 --> 00:45:08.010 Oh, what a great, great, great question. Made 00:45:08.010 --> 00:45:10.409 me fall in love with music over and over again. 00:45:14.329 --> 00:45:18.519 Drowning My Own Tears by Ray Charles. Wow. It's 00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:22.179 so profoundly emotional that it carries inside 00:45:22.179 --> 00:45:26.699 of it the depth of whether you're playing, you're 00:45:26.699 --> 00:45:30.559 covering the Stooges, or you're in a punk band, 00:45:30.699 --> 00:45:32.840 or you're in a metal band, or you're in a gospel 00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:35.599 choir. It's one of those songs that's at the 00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:38.659 hinge point of the beginning. And if you play 00:45:38.659 --> 00:45:41.719 that song for anybody, they're going to get it 00:45:41.719 --> 00:45:45.139 to some level. Everything blossoms from that, 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:48.880 those eras, the late 40s, early 50s. But for 00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:50.800 me, it's just because it knocks me on my knees 00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:53.659 every single time I hear it. It just completely 00:45:53.659 --> 00:45:56.619 destroys me. Ray Charles's voice and his ability 00:45:56.619 --> 00:45:59.500 to curate emotion. You know, when you think about 00:45:59.500 --> 00:46:02.940 what a traditional good voice is, his voice is 00:46:02.940 --> 00:46:05.820 obviously not just good. It's great. It's just, 00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:09.000 it's so him. You can just hear, yeah, and you'd 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:11.019 be like, that's Ray Charles. You know what I 00:46:11.019 --> 00:46:14.750 mean? a uniqueness so and the brevity of him 00:46:14.750 --> 00:46:16.949 to come over what he did but if even if i had 00:46:16.949 --> 00:46:19.650 never heard any of his story that song would 00:46:19.650 --> 00:46:24.909 still just drop me and and that i've i loved 00:46:24.909 --> 00:46:28.210 loved that album or the that era of him his atlantic 00:46:28.210 --> 00:46:32.090 years um which was documented in the movie but 00:46:32.090 --> 00:46:34.489 i got into it when i was about 17 because my 00:46:34.489 --> 00:46:38.199 mom who loves music I would say, she'd say like, 00:46:38.260 --> 00:46:39.260 what do you want for your birthday? I'm like 00:46:39.260 --> 00:46:41.260 anything by, you know, I'd find an artist and 00:46:41.260 --> 00:46:43.199 be like, Oh, maybe Ray Charles. And she bought 00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:46.039 me the box set of the Atlantic years. Nice. I 00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:48.440 listened to that in that first six months, my 00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:50.380 friends were all listening to rock and roll. 00:46:50.380 --> 00:46:52.460 And I was just listening to Ray Charles over 00:46:52.460 --> 00:46:56.639 and over and over and over and Muddy Waters box 00:46:56.639 --> 00:47:00.300 set over and over and over and Patsy Cline over 00:47:00.300 --> 00:47:03.719 and over. Cause I love singers, man. I'm a guitar 00:47:03.719 --> 00:47:06.820 player, but. Singing is why I'm in this business. 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:09.420 I sit here and I practice my guitar probably 00:47:09.420 --> 00:47:12.159 three times more than I sing. Singing came kind 00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:14.599 of naturally to me, but the guitar playing is 00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:17.500 like something I really work at. But I've never 00:47:17.500 --> 00:47:18.780 been one to be like, oh, I'm going to sit down 00:47:18.780 --> 00:47:20.880 and learn these solos. But I have been one to 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:24.000 sit down and go like, how do you find what they're 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:27.000 doing? Like what makes the hair on people's arms 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:30.460 stand up? So there you go. That was a great question. 00:47:31.190 --> 00:47:34.090 another amazingly fun episode in the archives 00:47:34.090 --> 00:47:36.530 chris came and did a full catalog dive interview 00:47:36.530 --> 00:47:38.710 with me if you want to hear all the great things 00:47:38.710 --> 00:47:40.590 that are going on in the record company camp 00:47:40.590 --> 00:47:43.949 that is the episode to check out if you haven't 00:47:43.949 --> 00:47:47.929 heard the record company before remedy that These 00:47:47.929 --> 00:47:51.389 guys are so good and so much fun, and they are 00:47:51.389 --> 00:47:54.210 carrying the torch for what modern blues rock 00:47:54.210 --> 00:47:57.030 is going to sound like moving forward. I absolutely 00:47:57.030 --> 00:47:59.630 love what these guys are doing, and I hope you 00:47:59.630 --> 00:48:02.429 get a chance to check it out. Ray Charles, Drown 00:48:02.429 --> 00:48:05.449 In My Own Tears, coming out of that heart -stringing 00:48:05.449 --> 00:48:07.969 tug of Cuz We Ended As Lovers from Jeff Beck. 00:48:08.230 --> 00:48:11.369 I mean, we're going a little emotional here to 00:48:11.369 --> 00:48:15.349 start Side B. So where do we go from here? Let's 00:48:15.349 --> 00:48:20.190 try with Greg Vorab's pick. I am going to answer 00:48:20.190 --> 00:48:24.090 the question, what song can I hear that makes 00:48:24.090 --> 00:48:27.210 me fall in love with music again over and over? 00:48:27.690 --> 00:48:31.170 And the one that comes at the top of my head 00:48:31.170 --> 00:48:36.690 is R .E .M.'s At My Most Beautiful. And the reason 00:48:36.690 --> 00:48:39.349 that I choose that one is because the first time 00:48:39.349 --> 00:48:43.389 I heard that song, it's the song that made me 00:48:43.389 --> 00:48:47.739 realize. that I was in love for the very first 00:48:47.739 --> 00:48:52.860 time. So my choice is REM at my most beautiful. 00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:56.920 REM. I was wondering when we would get something 00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:59.260 from them in this episode. I had a feeling that 00:48:59.260 --> 00:49:01.960 this is a band that a lot of people have a favorite 00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:05.340 song from, and I'm so glad. that they are included 00:49:05.340 --> 00:49:07.599 in this mix because we haven't talked about them 00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:09.840 as much on my weekly mixtape as I would like 00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:12.840 to. Hopefully when season two rolls around, I 00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:16.480 will make that happen. REM at my most beautiful. 00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:19.340 Thank you so much for chiming in, Greg. I appreciate 00:49:19.340 --> 00:49:21.780 your friendship and the support that you've given 00:49:21.780 --> 00:49:24.280 the show over the years. Be sure to check out 00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:27.860 Real Reactions. That's R -E -E -L Reactions at 00:49:27.860 --> 00:49:30.019 your favorite podcast providers to hear what 00:49:30.019 --> 00:49:33.059 Greg's got going on over there. Really fun show. 00:49:33.260 --> 00:49:36.780 Be sure to check it out. And with that, I actually 00:49:36.780 --> 00:49:38.699 have another pick that I think is going to fit 00:49:38.699 --> 00:49:41.519 perfectly coming out of REM's At My Most Beautiful. 00:49:41.619 --> 00:49:44.500 And that pick comes courtesy of Paul Jackson 00:49:44.500 --> 00:49:48.340 of Blackberry Smoke. Oh, my God. That's OK. OK. 00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:51.039 All right. Well, we're going to go with my favorite 00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:54.199 band on planet Earth. I'm going to go with Journey. 00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:59.019 And that's a hard one because I like every single 00:49:59.019 --> 00:50:01.800 thing they've done. I mean, Don't Stop Believin' 00:50:01.860 --> 00:50:05.420 is overplayed, you know, in several ways. But, 00:50:05.519 --> 00:50:10.159 God, I mean, even from Cookie Duster, before 00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:12.019 Steve Perry was in the band, some good stuff. 00:50:12.139 --> 00:50:17.260 What song do I think? I think, oh, this is so 00:50:17.260 --> 00:50:24.519 hard. Still They Ride. Nice. I don't know if 00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:27.719 any of you listeners heard it. You'll listen 00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.900 to it. Listen to the piano. Listen to the bass. 00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:32.659 Listen to the guitar. Listen to the drums. I 00:50:32.659 --> 00:50:34.320 mean, listen to it that many times. There's five 00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:36.360 people in the band. Listen to it and focus on 00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:39.619 each one of those individuals. And come on, Steve 00:50:39.619 --> 00:50:43.900 Perry. Come on. He's just one of the greatest 00:50:43.900 --> 00:50:47.360 singers literally of all time. Because he learned 00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:49.710 from, you know, he learned from. By listening 00:50:49.710 --> 00:50:51.989 to some of the best, Sam Cooke, there's a lot 00:50:51.989 --> 00:50:54.170 of Sam Cooke in his voice. Oh, yeah, definitely. 00:50:54.889 --> 00:50:58.030 He loves R &B, and they're just such a great 00:50:58.030 --> 00:51:01.190 band, man. I mean, I challenge anybody who thinks 00:51:01.190 --> 00:51:04.250 differently. It's just they're so good, you know? 00:51:04.590 --> 00:51:07.329 But there's also other bands that are stomp -ass 00:51:07.329 --> 00:51:10.090 good, too. But that's just personally for me 00:51:10.090 --> 00:51:12.449 growing up. When I heard Still They Ride, I was 00:51:12.449 --> 00:51:16.409 like, what? Whoa. And then I delved back in their 00:51:16.409 --> 00:51:19.289 catalog, and this is like. Every single thing 00:51:19.289 --> 00:51:22.010 is killer. You know, they all have good voices. 00:51:22.429 --> 00:51:25.369 You know, it's just, you know, shame that what's 00:51:25.369 --> 00:51:27.889 going on right now. But I mean, not shame, but 00:51:27.889 --> 00:51:29.389 I don't know. I want to see him again. Loud. 00:51:29.550 --> 00:51:33.030 That's all. Still, they ride from journey going 00:51:33.030 --> 00:51:35.349 with something off of escape. That's not don't 00:51:35.349 --> 00:51:38.449 stop believing is a bold move. And I applaud 00:51:38.449 --> 00:51:41.630 it. Stone and love got spoken about on the first 00:51:41.630 --> 00:51:44.820 ultimate mixtape. Courtesy of Drew from Sister 00:51:44.820 --> 00:51:47.659 Hazel. And now they're represented today via 00:51:47.659 --> 00:51:49.860 Paul Jackson of Blackberry Smoke. And Blackberry 00:51:49.860 --> 00:51:52.139 Smoke and Sister Hazel are pretty good friends 00:51:52.139 --> 00:51:55.079 there on the music scene. So quite serendipitous, 00:51:55.079 --> 00:51:58.159 if I do say so myself. Blackberry Smoke, obviously 00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:00.820 one of the best live Southern rock bands on the 00:52:00.820 --> 00:52:03.219 planet. And I say obviously because to me it 00:52:03.219 --> 00:52:06.480 is obvious they are un -friggin -believable live. 00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:09.400 Be sure to check out Paul's episode, The Ultimate 00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:12.500 Blackberry Smoke Playlist. It's back in the archives. 00:52:12.539 --> 00:52:15.659 We build a 20 song Blackberry Smoke Playlist. 00:52:15.739 --> 00:52:17.599 And I'd like to hope that I was able to keep 00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:19.400 up with him because, you know, he actually plays 00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:21.260 on the songs and I'm just here talking about 00:52:21.260 --> 00:52:23.099 them. So hopefully I was able to keep up. Go 00:52:23.099 --> 00:52:25.320 back and check that out in the archives and let 00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:27.900 me know for yourself. My weekly mixtape at gmail 00:52:27.900 --> 00:52:31.420 .com. But with that, I had mentioned them earlier 00:52:31.420 --> 00:52:34.460 with Jim Butler. Now it's time for Lindsay Butler 00:52:34.460 --> 00:52:36.820 of Children of the 80s to chime in with her pick 00:52:36.820 --> 00:52:41.739 for the ultimate mixtape. OK, so I know Jim's 00:52:41.739 --> 00:52:44.239 going to roll his eyes and I hope I hope Brian, 00:52:44.300 --> 00:52:47.320 you don't make fun of me. I would never. The 00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:51.739 song that made me fall in love with music, Look 00:52:51.739 --> 00:52:56.059 Away by Chicago. Oh, I don't know. There was 00:52:56.059 --> 00:52:58.500 something about it. I was in the fourth grade 00:52:58.500 --> 00:53:01.550 when it came out. It was played all the time 00:53:01.550 --> 00:53:06.170 on the radio. I can't explain my love for this 00:53:06.170 --> 00:53:10.949 song, but it is strong and it's held up for 40 00:53:10.949 --> 00:53:13.869 years? I don't know. No, not 40 years. 30 years? 00:53:13.989 --> 00:53:16.989 A really long time. Lindsay, I think you'll be 00:53:16.989 --> 00:53:19.710 happy to know that I'm trying to think of the 00:53:19.710 --> 00:53:22.210 year that this came out. That was 1988. So 11 00:53:22.210 --> 00:53:27.489 -year -old Brian had Look Away on 45. Really? 00:53:27.909 --> 00:53:32.840 Hand to God. We could have been friends. Once 00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:35.480 again, you can find Children of the 80s on all 00:53:35.480 --> 00:53:37.679 of your favorite podcast providers. They have 00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:40.619 such a fun show over there. I was fortunate to 00:53:40.619 --> 00:53:43.679 be a guest on their Weird Al episode, and both 00:53:43.679 --> 00:53:46.679 Jim and Lindsay joined me for the Ultimate 80s 00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:49.440 Music Videos playlist, which is such a fun episode. 00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:51.500 Be sure to check that out if you want to hear 00:53:51.500 --> 00:53:55.179 my weekly mixtape go visual in an audio sense. 00:53:55.869 --> 00:53:58.250 Really fun episode. Be sure to keep up with what 00:53:58.250 --> 00:54:00.329 they've got going on over there. You'll be happy 00:54:00.329 --> 00:54:04.010 you did. And up next, we are going to stay with 00:54:04.010 --> 00:54:07.230 this 80s vibe as country artist Carrie Cunningham 00:54:07.230 --> 00:54:10.090 shines in with her choice for the ultimate mixtape. 00:54:10.909 --> 00:54:17.269 Hmm. Well, the first song that ever made me really 00:54:17.269 --> 00:54:20.210 fall in love with music was Maneater by Hall 00:54:20.210 --> 00:54:22.730 & Oates. Really? It's not country, but yeah. 00:54:23.269 --> 00:54:26.369 Yep. I got a clock radio when I was eight years 00:54:26.369 --> 00:54:29.789 old and we were in Nebraska and the channel played 00:54:29.789 --> 00:54:32.590 all different kinds of music. So it didn't matter 00:54:32.590 --> 00:54:35.449 what genre it was. And I just remember laying 00:54:35.449 --> 00:54:37.570 in bed one night and hearing that song come on 00:54:37.570 --> 00:54:41.030 and the lyrics and the music, the way that the 00:54:41.030 --> 00:54:44.530 bass played and the sax came in. And then when 00:54:44.530 --> 00:54:46.889 the lyrics hit, all I could see was like this 00:54:46.889 --> 00:54:50.110 woman. And to my little eight -year -old brain 00:54:50.110 --> 00:54:52.530 was like in a dark alley and she was turning 00:54:52.530 --> 00:54:57.389 into a tiger and she was attacking men. And that 00:54:57.389 --> 00:55:02.130 is like, whoa, that's really cool. And so that's 00:55:02.130 --> 00:55:04.389 what kind of got me started on my whole music 00:55:04.389 --> 00:55:06.989 journey. And I still love that song to this day. 00:55:07.500 --> 00:55:09.880 It was such a delight having carry on two of 00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:12.579 my country themed episodes, the ultimate modern 00:55:12.579 --> 00:55:15.679 female country artists playlist episode, as well 00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:18.780 as the ultimate nineties country music episode. 00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:21.579 If you are a country fan, be sure to go check 00:55:21.579 --> 00:55:23.719 out both of those episodes in the archive. You'll 00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:26.199 be happy you did and be sure to keep in touch 00:55:26.199 --> 00:55:28.679 with what Carrie's got going on in her musical 00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:32.059 career over at Carrie live .com. She's got an 00:55:32.059 --> 00:55:35.099 incredible voice and you'll be happy you did. 00:55:35.690 --> 00:55:38.889 But with that, we are moving on to, and again, 00:55:38.929 --> 00:55:42.010 I pinch myself that I get to say this, but this 00:55:42.010 --> 00:55:44.570 choice for the ultimate mixtape from Paul Williams, 00:55:44.789 --> 00:55:47.530 who is the writer of my favorite song of all 00:55:47.530 --> 00:55:50.449 time, The Rainbow Connection. And I got to ask 00:55:50.449 --> 00:55:53.429 him his choice for the song that made him fall 00:55:53.429 --> 00:55:55.190 in love with music. And I've been holding on 00:55:55.190 --> 00:55:58.170 to this one since we recorded the episode, which 00:55:58.170 --> 00:56:01.050 was over nine months ago. So it's like the birth 00:56:01.050 --> 00:56:03.949 of this amazing clip that you're about to hear. 00:56:04.639 --> 00:56:09.159 Here is legendary songwriter Paul Williams' choice 00:56:09.159 --> 00:56:12.639 for the ultimate mixtape. Well, there's a lot 00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:15.079 of songs that have been meaningful in my life. 00:56:15.219 --> 00:56:21.239 Leonard Cohen is a remarkable writer. And Jennifer 00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:24.039 Warren's released an album called My Famous Blue 00:56:24.039 --> 00:56:26.719 Raincoat. And this is a song you may not know, 00:56:26.780 --> 00:56:30.079 but I would say listen to it. It's an album that 00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:32.699 has amazing songs by Leonard Cohen, including 00:56:32.699 --> 00:56:36.360 Bird on a Wire, Like a Bird on a Wire, Like a 00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:39.760 Drunk in Midnight Choir. I have tried in my ways 00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:42.719 to be free. I've been the bird and I've been 00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:47.619 the drunk. So that's a song that is just, for 00:56:47.619 --> 00:56:50.679 some reason it's like time travel. It has the 00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:55.079 loneliness of an early goodbye and it has the 00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:59.420 promise of the freedom. On the other side of 00:56:59.420 --> 00:57:02.579 grieving. What an incredible addition to this 00:57:02.579 --> 00:57:05.440 ultimate mixtape. And when it comes from, again, 00:57:05.500 --> 00:57:07.840 a songwriter that I have so much respect for, 00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:10.539 it just adds another exclamation point to it. 00:57:10.739 --> 00:57:13.699 Paul Williams was my guest at the end of last 00:57:13.699 --> 00:57:17.000 year for a double album dive that featured discussions 00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:20.099 on both Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas and 00:57:20.099 --> 00:57:22.940 the Muppet Movie soundtrack, two of my favorite 00:57:22.940 --> 00:57:25.699 soundtracks of my youth. If you are a fan of 00:57:25.699 --> 00:57:27.980 Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas or of the Muppets 00:57:27.980 --> 00:57:31.079 in general, you do not want to miss this episode. 00:57:31.099 --> 00:57:34.860 It is one of the highlights of this 150 episode 00:57:34.860 --> 00:57:38.519 season, if you want to call it. And I am so eternally 00:57:38.519 --> 00:57:41.239 grateful to Paul for being on the show, as well 00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:44.579 as to Desmond Child, who was kind enough to connect 00:57:44.579 --> 00:57:47.380 me with Paul for this opportunity. So thank you 00:57:47.380 --> 00:57:50.940 to Desmond and for Paul for being on. Following 00:57:50.940 --> 00:57:53.989 up Burden of Wire. I actually am going to do 00:57:53.989 --> 00:57:56.309 a little bit of a pivot here, but I don't know 00:57:56.309 --> 00:57:58.929 by how much. And I'll be curious what you all 00:57:58.929 --> 00:58:01.550 think. But I think this is going to work because 00:58:01.550 --> 00:58:04.369 Patreon mixtaper Chad LaMassa chimed in with 00:58:04.369 --> 00:58:07.949 this pick for the ultimate mixtape. So this may 00:58:07.949 --> 00:58:09.949 seem like a cop out, but I don't really have 00:58:09.949 --> 00:58:12.190 a song that made me fall in love with music. 00:58:12.650 --> 00:58:15.869 And any song that kind of grabs me in a certain 00:58:15.869 --> 00:58:20.289 way, it's really hard to explain. Those are the 00:58:20.289 --> 00:58:22.309 songs that make me fall in love with music again. 00:58:22.750 --> 00:58:24.809 And the two most recent songs that have done 00:58:24.809 --> 00:58:29.670 that for me were Bully's Atom Bomb and Shovel 00:58:29.670 --> 00:58:32.889 and Rope's Love Song from a Dog. With Bully being 00:58:32.889 --> 00:58:34.809 one of my favorite artists currently, I'm going 00:58:34.809 --> 00:58:37.949 to pick her song, Atom Bomb. There you have Bully's 00:58:37.949 --> 00:58:39.909 Atom Bomb. We're getting something new in the 00:58:39.909 --> 00:58:42.369 mix. And I love that because this is not just 00:58:42.369 --> 00:58:45.070 the songs that made you fall in love with music. 00:58:45.110 --> 00:58:47.869 It's also... The songs that make you fall in 00:58:47.869 --> 00:58:50.409 love with music over and over again every time 00:58:50.409 --> 00:58:54.010 you hear it. And Bully's Atom Bomb is a perfect 00:58:54.010 --> 00:58:57.070 example of that. And I'm so glad that Chad brought 00:58:57.070 --> 00:59:00.030 something new to this mix because it does. Give 00:59:00.030 --> 00:59:01.829 the mix a little bit of balance. We got a lot 00:59:01.829 --> 00:59:03.349 of older stuff in here, but now we're getting 00:59:03.349 --> 00:59:05.630 some newer stuff, kind of making those musical 00:59:05.630 --> 00:59:08.090 scales of justice kind of even out a little bit. 00:59:08.150 --> 00:59:11.909 So bravo. Chad has been a huge supporter of my 00:59:11.909 --> 00:59:14.690 weekly mixtape and is a huge voice in the Patreon 00:59:14.690 --> 00:59:17.369 community. I thank you for all of your incredible 00:59:17.369 --> 00:59:20.090 chimings, the incredible conversations we've 00:59:20.090 --> 00:59:22.880 had. on both the Patreon and then the Discord 00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:25.900 channel, which is going to be remaining open 00:59:25.900 --> 00:59:28.900 during the pause. So if you are on Discord, come 00:59:28.900 --> 00:59:31.039 find the My Weekly Mixtape channel. Come join 00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:33.400 us in the conversation there. And then once the 00:59:33.400 --> 00:59:35.280 show picks up again, obviously there's all things 00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:38.440 going on in the Discord over there as well. But 00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:41.099 again, Chad, thank you so much for everything 00:59:41.099 --> 00:59:43.960 that you have done to support the show. I appreciate 00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:46.829 it and I appreciate your friendship. Now, working 00:59:46.829 --> 00:59:49.190 our way to something that modern like Bully is 00:59:49.190 --> 00:59:51.909 tough, but I do have a pick that is more modern 00:59:51.909 --> 00:59:55.489 from Leah Jones, host of the Struts Life podcast, 00:59:55.630 --> 00:59:58.090 and we're going to go with her choice for the 00:59:58.090 --> 01:00:02.489 ultimate mixtape. Okay. I would have to pick 01:00:02.489 --> 01:00:06.170 Long Live by Taylor Swift. It will make me cry. 01:00:06.650 --> 01:00:08.849 Every single time, because it's about the relationship 01:00:08.849 --> 01:00:11.929 that fans have with their favorite artists and 01:00:11.929 --> 01:00:14.769 the memories that you make watching them with 01:00:14.769 --> 01:00:16.909 your friends, not even necessarily with the artists. 01:00:17.110 --> 01:00:19.769 It's the community that you make around music. 01:00:20.010 --> 01:00:21.849 Like if I think about it too much, it makes me 01:00:21.849 --> 01:00:24.369 really emotional because I've met some amazing 01:00:24.369 --> 01:00:28.190 people through music and shows and just talking 01:00:28.190 --> 01:00:31.110 music. And that would be the song that I choose. 01:00:32.210 --> 01:00:34.920 So we've got Bully. And we've got Taylor Swift 01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:37.320 and Taylor Swift, considering side a consisted 01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:40.219 of a lot of classic rock and a lot of hard rock. 01:00:40.340 --> 01:00:43.940 I think the closest thing to pop in the modern 01:00:43.940 --> 01:00:46.739 sense on side a maybe ABBA. And that was what 01:00:46.739 --> 01:00:49.159 back in the seventies. So we're getting the pop 01:00:49.159 --> 01:00:51.659 side of Taylor Swift coming out with long live. 01:00:52.280 --> 01:00:55.099 And even though Taylor Swift is now known as 01:00:55.099 --> 01:00:57.960 more of a pop artist, she did start as country 01:00:57.960 --> 01:01:00.219 and Speak Now was one of her country albums. 01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:03.800 And that gives me the perfect opportunity to 01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:06.340 pivot into some country music for tonight. So 01:01:06.340 --> 01:01:09.760 bravo on the pick. And now the pivot happens. 01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:13.320 So with that, I give you Jesse Jackson, host 01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:16.480 of Set Lusting Bruce and Perfectly Good Podcast 01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:20.050 with his choice for the ultimate mixtape. What 01:01:20.050 --> 01:01:25.130 song made me fall in love with music? This is 01:01:25.130 --> 01:01:28.250 a great question, and I think I could give multiple 01:01:28.250 --> 01:01:32.750 answers. There's certainly what song made me 01:01:32.750 --> 01:01:36.489 fall in love with the Beach Boys, which is probably 01:01:36.489 --> 01:01:39.349 I Get Around, because I'd never heard anything 01:01:39.349 --> 01:01:43.090 that complex. What song made me fall in love 01:01:43.090 --> 01:01:45.610 with Bruce Springsteen? Probably Born to Run. 01:01:46.670 --> 01:01:51.769 But what song first made me fall in love with 01:01:51.769 --> 01:01:56.429 music? And I thought a lot about it. And I think 01:01:56.429 --> 01:02:02.050 it goes back to the AM radio on my parents' car, 01:02:02.369 --> 01:02:07.150 which was always turned to a country station. 01:02:07.530 --> 01:02:11.909 And I think one of the first songs that I knew 01:02:11.909 --> 01:02:16.150 was something different. and something I kept 01:02:16.150 --> 01:02:22.010 wanting to hear was Glen Campbell's Wichita Lineman. 01:02:22.489 --> 01:02:26.710 I didn't understand what a lineman was, but I 01:02:26.710 --> 01:02:30.269 did understand the loneliness and the sadness 01:02:30.269 --> 01:02:34.909 of that song, and I loved listening to it. Glenn 01:02:34.909 --> 01:02:38.090 Campbell's Wichita lineman, Jesse Jackson, set 01:02:38.090 --> 01:02:40.989 lusting Bruce and perfectly good podcast. One 01:02:40.989 --> 01:02:44.369 of the friendliest podcasters you can meet. He 01:02:44.369 --> 01:02:47.869 is such a great guy. So knowledgeable about music. 01:02:47.909 --> 01:02:50.969 So much fun to talk with such a positive presence 01:02:50.969 --> 01:02:53.909 in the music podcasting space. So if you're a 01:02:53.909 --> 01:02:57.289 fan of Bruce Springsteen or John Hyatt, be sure 01:02:57.289 --> 01:02:59.190 to check out both of his projects. You'll be 01:02:59.190 --> 01:03:01.769 really thankful. You did. I guessed it on both. 01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:04.559 set lusting Bruce and perfectly good podcast. 01:03:04.619 --> 01:03:08.300 And both were really fun conversations. Jesse 01:03:08.300 --> 01:03:11.219 has guested twice on my weekly mixtape doing, 01:03:11.320 --> 01:03:14.260 well, here's a shocker, the ultimate Bruce Springsteen 01:03:14.260 --> 01:03:17.860 playlist. And along with Sylvan Groth, the ultimate 01:03:17.860 --> 01:03:20.980 John Hyatt playlist, both of which were a lot 01:03:20.980 --> 01:03:23.739 of fun and some incredibly in -depth commentary 01:03:23.739 --> 01:03:26.800 and discussions on both of those incredible songwriters. 01:03:26.880 --> 01:03:29.929 So Jesse, thank you again. And up next, we've 01:03:29.929 --> 01:03:32.050 got Patreon mixtape or Philip Bergman's pick 01:03:32.050 --> 01:03:33.650 for the ultimate mixtape. And I kind of want 01:03:33.650 --> 01:03:35.510 to lead this with a little bit of a preamble 01:03:35.510 --> 01:03:37.969 here. Philip likes to try to throw me for a loop 01:03:37.969 --> 01:03:39.969 with these. And I have a lot of fun with these 01:03:39.969 --> 01:03:42.369 picks. He threw me a challenging one on episode 01:03:42.369 --> 01:03:44.489 100 for the ultimate mixtape. So be sure to go 01:03:44.489 --> 01:03:47.309 back and check that out. He has also been a guest 01:03:47.309 --> 01:03:50.510 on our Weird Al episode of my weekly mixtape. 01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:53.659 as well as the ultimate golden oldies and doo 01:03:53.659 --> 01:03:56.380 -wops summer playlist, both of which are really 01:03:56.380 --> 01:03:59.440 fun episodes. Philip is such a great guy to talk 01:03:59.440 --> 01:04:01.239 with music. One of the biggest supporters since 01:04:01.239 --> 01:04:04.119 the days of tune styles. And he, like I said, 01:04:04.139 --> 01:04:07.119 he likes to challenge me. So I hear your challenge 01:04:07.119 --> 01:04:10.920 and coming out of Wichita lineman, here is Philip 01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:14.340 Bergman's pick for the ultimate mixtape. Hmm. 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:17.800 I think I'm going to take door number one on 01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:20.590 this. question because i think with the other 01:04:20.590 --> 01:04:24.289 option the joy is constantly finding new songs 01:04:24.289 --> 01:04:27.590 that just keep making you fall in love with music 01:04:27.590 --> 01:04:31.190 over and over uh it's kind of like the if you'll 01:04:31.190 --> 01:04:33.030 forgive the star trek reference it's like the 01:04:33.030 --> 01:04:37.789 vulcan idea of itic in infinite diversity and 01:04:37.789 --> 01:04:41.030 infinite combinations and i think that's one 01:04:41.030 --> 01:04:43.369 of the joys about music that keeps us falling 01:04:43.369 --> 01:04:48.070 in love is just the diversity that you can find 01:04:48.070 --> 01:04:51.730 in it. Amen. And so that's a continual process, 01:04:51.809 --> 01:04:55.269 but I think I'm going to go with one of the earliest 01:04:55.269 --> 01:04:59.510 musical memories going back to, I may have been 01:04:59.510 --> 01:05:01.510 in kindergarten at this point, or maybe even 01:05:01.510 --> 01:05:05.869 younger than that, but I remember learning how 01:05:05.869 --> 01:05:10.969 to use my mom's record player. And she did have 01:05:10.969 --> 01:05:15.369 some records that were just for kids. I do remember 01:05:15.369 --> 01:05:19.929 some of those, but I also remember the one record 01:05:19.929 --> 01:05:24.710 of hers that I loved to play over and over and 01:05:24.710 --> 01:05:29.730 over again was her anthology, if you will. It's 01:05:29.730 --> 01:05:34.690 Johnny Horton's Greatest Hits. And there were 01:05:34.690 --> 01:05:37.309 two songs especially that I really, really loved. 01:05:37.469 --> 01:05:40.349 For the purposes of this question, I'm going 01:05:40.349 --> 01:05:43.780 to go... with the closing track on side B of 01:05:43.780 --> 01:05:48.159 that 33 and a third album. And that was Johnny 01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:51.539 Freedom. For those who don't know who Johnny 01:05:51.539 --> 01:05:54.539 Horton is, he was a 50s country singer. He was 01:05:54.539 --> 01:05:57.960 nicknamed the singing fisherman. Died tragically 01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:02.039 in 1960 in a car accident. He's best known for 01:06:02.039 --> 01:06:05.659 his song, The Battle of New Orleans. But Johnny 01:06:05.659 --> 01:06:09.139 Freedom was just such an amazing song for me 01:06:09.139 --> 01:06:11.500 as a kid. Nowadays, it might... be considered 01:06:11.500 --> 01:06:14.139 a little problematic because the lyrics are kind 01:06:14.139 --> 01:06:17.159 of, shall we say, a whitewashing of American 01:06:17.159 --> 01:06:20.659 history. So, I mean, this was the 80s when I 01:06:20.659 --> 01:06:22.400 discovered the song that was recorded in the 01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:25.300 50s. So hopefully you'll give me some grace there. 01:06:25.380 --> 01:06:29.519 But I loved the martial beat of the record, the 01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:33.320 way the background singers were enthusiastically 01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:37.900 singing about this symbol of America. And I love 01:06:37.900 --> 01:06:40.500 singing along with just about every song. of 01:06:40.500 --> 01:06:43.360 Johnny's of his later career that I can. I mean, 01:06:43.380 --> 01:06:46.980 whether it's Think the Bismarck or The Mansion 01:06:46.980 --> 01:06:51.820 You Stole or Jim Bridger. Johnny Horton is just 01:06:51.820 --> 01:06:54.119 one of the earliest musical memories that I really, 01:06:54.179 --> 01:06:59.059 really cherish. And Johnny Freedom, that kind 01:06:59.059 --> 01:07:04.440 of march feel to it in a country song was just 01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:07.019 a great closer to that anthology. And I still 01:07:07.019 --> 01:07:10.010 love that song. You never forget your first love. 01:07:10.949 --> 01:07:12.650 Philip, you'll have to let me know how I did 01:07:12.650 --> 01:07:14.429 with that one. If you think it lines up well 01:07:14.429 --> 01:07:17.130 with Wichita lineman, appreciate your friendship 01:07:17.130 --> 01:07:19.949 and all the great conversations we've had all 01:07:19.949 --> 01:07:22.590 the way back since the tune styles days. I think 01:07:22.590 --> 01:07:24.849 you're one of the few listeners that knows that 01:07:24.849 --> 01:07:26.889 when I say I'm taking a break, it's not forever. 01:07:27.030 --> 01:07:28.909 It's going to be a few months because right after 01:07:28.909 --> 01:07:30.789 tune styles, a few months later came playlist 01:07:30.789 --> 01:07:33.409 wars. And after playlist wars, a few months later 01:07:33.409 --> 01:07:36.329 came my weekly mixtape. So hope to see you around 01:07:36.329 --> 01:07:38.840 when we. Pick this thing back up down the road 01:07:38.840 --> 01:07:41.820 and look forward to some more fun musical conversations 01:07:41.820 --> 01:07:46.000 with you. Thank you again. But with that, Philip, 01:07:46.059 --> 01:07:48.119 I think we'll throw another joke in here from 01:07:48.119 --> 01:07:50.500 the Toon Styles days and bring in Mr. Board Shorts 01:07:50.500 --> 01:07:54.400 himself, Jay Sweet, as I think his pick for the 01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:58.659 ultimate mixtape follows up Johnny Freedom pretty 01:07:58.659 --> 01:08:01.139 well. Let me know what you think. Here's Jay 01:08:01.139 --> 01:08:03.539 Sweet with his pick for the ultimate mixtape. 01:08:06.250 --> 01:08:13.130 That's a good one, Bri. Let me... My heart is 01:08:13.130 --> 01:08:16.350 pulling me toward Music Box Dancer by Frank Mills. 01:08:16.670 --> 01:08:18.949 I think when we were in our tune styles days, 01:08:19.010 --> 01:08:22.390 I might have explained the significance of that 01:08:22.390 --> 01:08:26.010 song and how that was my mom's... I associate 01:08:26.010 --> 01:08:30.289 that song deeply connected to my mom. But hearing 01:08:30.289 --> 01:08:34.250 that bouncy piano riff, that's a good one, but 01:08:34.250 --> 01:08:37.880 also... Feel So Good by Chuck Mangione. And that's 01:08:37.880 --> 01:08:40.899 another one that I associate to my early childhood. 01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:43.079 My parents were still together. Both my dad and 01:08:43.079 --> 01:08:47.159 my mom agreed on Chuck Mangione. So that was 01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:50.439 really neat. So as I'm stalling here, I'm just 01:08:50.439 --> 01:08:53.939 trying to... Do I throw in some air supply? I 01:08:53.939 --> 01:08:58.159 don't know. I think Frank Mills' Music Box Dancer 01:08:58.159 --> 01:09:01.140 wins out. I really do. It's just that snappy, 01:09:01.140 --> 01:09:04.300 poppy... piano bounce you get all the good feels 01:09:04.300 --> 01:09:07.439 when you hear that song jay sweet my tune styles 01:09:07.439 --> 01:09:11.060 partner in crime friend for life appreciate everything 01:09:11.060 --> 01:09:13.699 you have done to help this show out you've earned 01:09:13.699 --> 01:09:16.079 your board shorts my friend looking forward to 01:09:16.079 --> 01:09:18.220 many more fun discussions with you down the road 01:09:18.810 --> 01:09:20.909 And obviously, if you've heard the name Jay Sweet 01:09:20.909 --> 01:09:23.449 before, he has been on the show a lot of times. 01:09:23.590 --> 01:09:26.489 So go back into the catalog and visit all sorts 01:09:26.489 --> 01:09:29.170 of fun episodes that we've done together, including 01:09:29.170 --> 01:09:32.029 our most recent ones, The Ultimate Fictional 01:09:32.029 --> 01:09:35.590 Bands, Volume 1 and 2, the first and only time 01:09:35.590 --> 01:09:38.449 in My Weekly Mixtape history we were going so 01:09:38.449 --> 01:09:42.630 hard at Song 20 on Episode 1 that we literally 01:09:42.630 --> 01:09:44.890 took a five -minute break and recorded a second 01:09:44.890 --> 01:09:47.550 episode right after with 20 more fictional bands. 01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:51.159 Such a fun double episode there. So I hope everyone 01:09:51.159 --> 01:09:54.579 enjoys that. And with that, another guest of 01:09:54.579 --> 01:09:57.060 my weekly mixtape who certainly earned his board 01:09:57.060 --> 01:10:00.439 shorts. That is Jason Whistle, host of It's Not 01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:03.020 That Bad. And there can only be one with his 01:10:03.020 --> 01:10:06.039 choice for the ultimate mixtape. The question 01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:10.680 being song that made me fall in love with music. 01:10:10.720 --> 01:10:14.979 And I think. my pick is going to maybe throw 01:10:14.979 --> 01:10:16.859 some of you for a bit of a loop. Anyone who knows 01:10:16.859 --> 01:10:19.399 me and my music tastes, you know, you're expecting 01:10:19.399 --> 01:10:21.500 me to say something very proggy or maybe something 01:10:21.500 --> 01:10:23.899 punky or definitely something Canadian. Well, 01:10:23.960 --> 01:10:28.979 it's none of that. I'm actually going with Brandenburg's 01:10:28.979 --> 01:10:33.000 Concerto No. 3 by Johann Sebastian Bach. And 01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:37.619 let me explain why. So in high school, I took 01:10:37.619 --> 01:10:41.770 five years of orchestra. I learned to play bass 01:10:41.770 --> 01:10:45.050 on an upright bass. This was how I learned how 01:10:45.050 --> 01:10:47.210 to play bass and something I still do to this 01:10:47.210 --> 01:10:50.270 day. And you can imagine that some of the stuff 01:10:50.270 --> 01:10:54.430 that we played in orchestra class, maybe not 01:10:54.430 --> 01:10:57.569 the best, maybe not the catchiest, but there 01:10:57.569 --> 01:11:01.390 was something about Brandenburg's Concerto No. 01:11:01.609 --> 01:11:05.970 3 and it just hooked in my brain. And this was, 01:11:05.989 --> 01:11:08.229 I think, was the first time I had ever really... 01:11:09.230 --> 01:11:14.029 considered a piece of classical music as catchy 01:11:14.029 --> 01:11:17.289 and earwormy. But yet here it was, and I would 01:11:17.289 --> 01:11:20.130 be humming along, and it became one of my noodle 01:11:20.130 --> 01:11:22.350 tunes, you know, because I have a bass guitar, 01:11:22.550 --> 01:11:25.210 I'm in bands, and I have noodle tunes. And Brandon 01:11:25.210 --> 01:11:27.350 Burke Concerto No. 3 was one of those ones that 01:11:27.350 --> 01:11:28.930 was just, I would start playing, do -do -do, 01:11:29.010 --> 01:11:32.189 do -do -do, do -do -do, do -do -do, just noodling 01:11:32.189 --> 01:11:34.729 around on the bass while you're waiting for everyone 01:11:34.729 --> 01:11:36.449 else to get ready. And it just happens to be 01:11:36.449 --> 01:11:39.409 one of those things where... I don't think any 01:11:39.409 --> 01:11:44.270 other classical composition has ever really stuck 01:11:44.270 --> 01:11:47.630 with me that much. And I know it's a way out 01:11:47.630 --> 01:11:51.329 there pick, but when you play music, it's going 01:11:51.329 --> 01:11:54.869 to stick with you a little bit more. This was 01:11:54.869 --> 01:11:56.890 the first time that a classical piece of music 01:11:56.890 --> 01:11:58.689 had done that for me. I mean, I could tell you 01:11:58.689 --> 01:12:00.630 the first song I learned to play on guitar. That 01:12:00.630 --> 01:12:03.130 was Sound Lucidity from Queensryche. The first 01:12:03.130 --> 01:12:05.189 song I tried to teach myself on bass by myself. 01:12:05.250 --> 01:12:09.270 That was Forever by Kiss. But no, No, Brandenburg 01:12:09.270 --> 01:12:14.210 Concerto No. 3, Johann Sebastian Bach. This is 01:12:14.210 --> 01:12:17.470 the song that really made me fall in love, not 01:12:17.470 --> 01:12:21.729 just with music, but with all music. I can't 01:12:21.729 --> 01:12:23.770 say enough good things about Jason Mann from 01:12:23.770 --> 01:12:27.100 episode one. All the way till now. Thank you. 01:12:27.100 --> 01:12:29.840 Thank you. Thank you for all of the fun conversations 01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:32.539 we've had. There are so many great episodes in 01:12:32.539 --> 01:12:35.159 the My Weekly Mixtape archives for anyone that 01:12:35.159 --> 01:12:37.720 wants to hear some fun, irrelevant and kind of 01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:40.779 off the beaten path episodes. We did short songs 01:12:40.779 --> 01:12:43.420 where we tried to keep the song choices as short 01:12:43.420 --> 01:12:45.939 as humanly possible. That's a really fun one. 01:12:46.020 --> 01:12:49.359 We did the ultimate 90s Canadian artists playlist. 01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:51.939 That was a lot of fun. I mean, any episode that 01:12:51.939 --> 01:12:54.539 features Jason Whistle is going to be fun. be 01:12:54.539 --> 01:12:56.800 sure to check out It's Not That Bad and there 01:12:56.800 --> 01:13:00.600 can only be one at notthatbadcast .com or wherever 01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:04.979 you find your favorite podcasts. But with that, 01:13:04.979 --> 01:13:09.060 we've gone somehow into classical music and I 01:13:09.060 --> 01:13:11.119 don't quite know how to pull us out of there. 01:13:11.180 --> 01:13:14.619 However, there is a song that I think if there 01:13:14.619 --> 01:13:17.479 was a song in this list that bridged that gap, 01:13:17.699 --> 01:13:21.659 this would be the song to do it. So with that, 01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:24.340 I give you Tim Foreman of Switchfoot's choice 01:13:24.340 --> 01:13:28.439 for the ultimate mixtape. I'd probably say Strawberry 01:13:28.439 --> 01:13:32.479 Fields. I'm an absolute Beatles fanatic, but 01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:35.979 I think that song just kind of checks every box 01:13:35.979 --> 01:13:39.220 for me. Just some of the most adventurous chord 01:13:39.220 --> 01:13:42.659 choices. It just makes me feel the things that 01:13:42.659 --> 01:13:45.470 no other song is quite. done before. You know, 01:13:45.510 --> 01:13:48.909 it's very mysterious. It's mean, but yet it's 01:13:48.909 --> 01:13:52.090 also bright. And I mean, just total journey. 01:13:52.789 --> 01:13:57.350 Tim was a guest on the Song Dive episode of Switchfoot 01:13:57.350 --> 01:13:59.670 and Buddy Guy, Last Man Standing. Be sure to 01:13:59.670 --> 01:14:02.350 check that episode out in the archives. Tim also 01:14:02.350 --> 01:14:04.649 has Bongo Chico that he's out supporting this 01:14:04.649 --> 01:14:07.510 year, as well as new Switchfoot music coming 01:14:07.510 --> 01:14:09.949 your way soon. So be sure to be on the lookout 01:14:09.949 --> 01:14:13.859 for those. Now, on side B, we haven't had a double 01:14:13.859 --> 01:14:17.279 dose of bands yet, and we're not going to have 01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:20.460 a double dose of bands per se, but we are going 01:14:20.460 --> 01:14:24.119 to have a double dose of Beatles per se, as following 01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:27.720 up Tim Foreman of Switchfoot is Steve Bowman 01:14:27.720 --> 01:14:30.460 of Counting Crows with his choice for the ultimate 01:14:30.460 --> 01:14:34.619 mixtape. Wow, that's so hard because after the 01:14:34.619 --> 01:14:36.560 podcast, I'll think of the one I should have 01:14:36.560 --> 01:14:41.170 said. I'll just go with an obvious one because 01:14:41.170 --> 01:14:48.109 Imagine is a song that I have listened to and 01:14:48.109 --> 01:14:52.689 thought about and contemplated, pondered. I think 01:14:52.689 --> 01:14:58.350 it's the most beautiful lyric, progression, melody, 01:14:58.689 --> 01:15:03.069 sentiment. I just think the song Imagine by John 01:15:03.069 --> 01:15:06.489 Lennon keeps getting better the more I hear it. 01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:10.579 There's a lot of Beatles songs that do, but if 01:15:10.579 --> 01:15:12.539 I have to pick one, I'm going to go with that. 01:15:13.060 --> 01:15:15.720 So call that a double dose of the Beatles, if 01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:19.340 you will. John Lennon's Imagine, a classic rock 01:15:19.340 --> 01:15:22.579 staple, a music staple as far as I'm concerned. 01:15:22.680 --> 01:15:24.220 And yeah, we have a double dose of the Beatles. 01:15:24.960 --> 01:15:27.680 And I just want to say Steve was such an incredible 01:15:27.680 --> 01:15:30.899 guest doing an entire August and everything after 01:15:30.899 --> 01:15:33.500 album dive with me, which you can find in the 01:15:33.500 --> 01:15:36.220 archives that counting crows album is probably 01:15:36.220 --> 01:15:38.340 one of my favorite albums of the nineties. And 01:15:38.340 --> 01:15:41.060 to be able to hear the stories behind so many 01:15:41.060 --> 01:15:43.899 of the great songs from that with one of the 01:15:43.899 --> 01:15:46.300 people responsible was another highlight of my 01:15:46.300 --> 01:15:50.239 weekly mixtape. And with that, I mentioned this 01:15:50.239 --> 01:15:54.609 band earlier, but we are going back. to Shinedown. 01:15:54.930 --> 01:15:57.329 I've been on a Shinedown kick, man, this whole 01:15:57.329 --> 01:15:59.130 year, having them twice on the show, getting 01:15:59.130 --> 01:16:01.470 to see their first ever performance in Madison 01:16:01.470 --> 01:16:04.130 Square Garden headlining was just unbelievable 01:16:04.130 --> 01:16:07.609 night. But Eric has a song that when you say 01:16:07.609 --> 01:16:09.949 to yourself, how do you follow up a double dose 01:16:09.949 --> 01:16:12.670 of the Beatles? There's not many songs that can 01:16:12.670 --> 01:16:16.909 do that. But I think Eric's pick does that. So 01:16:16.909 --> 01:16:19.329 with that being said, here is Eric Bass's pick 01:16:19.329 --> 01:16:25.359 for the ultimate mixtape. The first thing, it 01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:27.199 wasn't the thing that made me fall in love with 01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:29.140 music, but every time I hear this song, it makes 01:16:29.140 --> 01:16:30.760 me fall in love with music over and over again, 01:16:30.899 --> 01:16:34.920 is God Only Knows by the Beach Boys. I say by 01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:37.779 the Beach Boys, quote unquote, but Brian Wilson, 01:16:37.960 --> 01:16:42.539 of course. It's a study in the fact that no one 01:16:42.539 --> 01:16:46.239 knows the anatomy of a hit song. No one can tell 01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:48.100 you what the anatomy of a hit is. Everyone thinks 01:16:48.100 --> 01:16:49.739 they can. Everyone thinks that they can tell 01:16:49.739 --> 01:16:52.770 you. what it takes to make a hit this is this 01:16:52.770 --> 01:16:57.250 is this poor lost soul on instagram that i see 01:16:57.250 --> 01:16:58.810 every once in a while and i don't remember his 01:16:58.810 --> 01:17:00.890 instagram handle or i just say it because i don't 01:17:00.890 --> 01:17:03.550 i'm not shy about this stuff but he's a quote 01:17:03.550 --> 01:17:07.149 unquote a and r guy in nashville and his job 01:17:07.149 --> 01:17:10.770 is he finds bands for he finds artists for record 01:17:10.770 --> 01:17:13.210 labels and that's what he tells he he every day 01:17:13.210 --> 01:17:17.390 he's posting some bullshit post about what your 01:17:17.390 --> 01:17:20.489 songs have to be and how many followers you have 01:17:20.489 --> 01:17:22.329 to have in order for this to happen and that 01:17:22.329 --> 01:17:24.449 to happen and blah, blah, blah. When in reality, 01:17:24.510 --> 01:17:26.670 all you have to do is have talent. You have to 01:17:26.670 --> 01:17:29.590 have the talent first, but then you just have 01:17:29.590 --> 01:17:31.189 to bring into the world things that matter to 01:17:31.189 --> 01:17:37.250 you. And if the time is right and the moment 01:17:37.250 --> 01:17:39.850 is right and the intention behind the song is 01:17:39.850 --> 01:17:42.569 right, you won't be able to keep it quiet. You 01:17:42.569 --> 01:17:44.380 won't be able to keep it down. And not that anyone 01:17:44.380 --> 01:17:46.100 was trying to keep God Only Knows down. That's 01:17:46.100 --> 01:17:47.880 not my point. It's just that these people that 01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:49.979 think they can tell you what a song has to be, 01:17:49.979 --> 01:17:51.140 has to be this long. And you have to get to the 01:17:51.140 --> 01:17:53.399 chorus by this point. And you have to, you know, 01:17:53.399 --> 01:17:56.420 people don't like key changes. And God Only Knows 01:17:56.420 --> 01:18:00.060 meanders through this beautiful soundscape. And 01:18:00.060 --> 01:18:02.899 the last chorus of the song is in a totally different 01:18:02.899 --> 01:18:04.699 key than the beginning of the song. And no one 01:18:04.699 --> 01:18:08.439 even notices, you know. And the message in the 01:18:08.439 --> 01:18:11.689 song is so genuine, so pure. I mean, like, is 01:18:11.689 --> 01:18:13.789 that not how I feel about my wife too? You know, 01:18:13.850 --> 01:18:17.470 like I'd be a mess without this woman. And so 01:18:17.470 --> 01:18:20.510 that song gives me hope for music. It also makes 01:18:20.510 --> 01:18:23.390 me realize what that poor lost soul on Instagram 01:18:23.390 --> 01:18:25.210 is telling all of these young musicians about 01:18:25.210 --> 01:18:27.270 what they have to do and should do and have to 01:18:27.270 --> 01:18:30.550 be. And might be the reason why most music is 01:18:30.550 --> 01:18:35.670 like that now, you know? And if there's a young 01:18:35.670 --> 01:18:37.989 musician sitting in his room or her room right 01:18:37.989 --> 01:18:40.739 now, wondering what they should do or wondering, 01:18:40.899 --> 01:18:43.579 you know, you should do what you love. Whatever 01:18:43.579 --> 01:18:45.539 that voice is in your head, whatever that sound 01:18:45.539 --> 01:18:48.039 is in your head, whatever the click track is 01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:50.800 in your head, follow that around because that's 01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:53.199 never going to lead you wrong. I'm not saying 01:18:53.199 --> 01:18:54.960 it's going to lead to success, but it's not going 01:18:54.960 --> 01:18:58.619 to lead you wrong. And I think that if the rest 01:18:58.619 --> 01:19:01.960 of us did that, myself included sometimes, that 01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:03.920 I didn't listen to what things should be or have 01:19:03.920 --> 01:19:06.680 to be or supposed to be more like what Brian 01:19:06.680 --> 01:19:10.180 Wilson did. uh with all of his music that we 01:19:10.180 --> 01:19:11.699 would be in a much better place musically in 01:19:11.699 --> 01:19:13.899 the world than we are right now so that song 01:19:13.899 --> 01:19:18.800 reminds me of that quite often and honestly led 01:19:18.800 --> 01:19:22.899 me to the place that i had a name led me you 01:19:22.899 --> 01:19:24.300 know which is i'm not saying i'm not comparing 01:19:24.300 --> 01:19:26.100 myself to brian wilson by any stretch of the 01:19:26.100 --> 01:19:28.260 imagination that's not my point but it led me 01:19:28.260 --> 01:19:30.159 to a place of trying to make something different 01:19:30.159 --> 01:19:33.479 and uh it's very satisfying Very satisfying to 01:19:33.479 --> 01:19:36.239 make different things. So God Only Knows by the 01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:39.500 Beach Boys is the song that anytime somebody 01:19:39.500 --> 01:19:42.539 asks me what my favorite song is or what I love 01:19:42.539 --> 01:19:45.020 or what song wants me to keep going, that's the 01:19:45.020 --> 01:19:48.340 one. The Beach Boys' God Only Knows talked about 01:19:48.340 --> 01:19:51.520 twice by two separate people on the original 01:19:51.520 --> 01:19:54.260 Ultimate Mixtape episode back at episode 100. 01:19:54.960 --> 01:19:57.060 Obviously is going to be in this one as well. 01:19:57.100 --> 01:19:59.300 It's a song that made so many people fall in 01:19:59.300 --> 01:20:02.310 love with music. I got the chance to see the 01:20:02.310 --> 01:20:04.369 Beach Boys, the Mike Love fronted version this 01:20:04.369 --> 01:20:06.710 summer with the family. We got to sit second 01:20:06.710 --> 01:20:09.689 row. And this song was obviously one of the highlights 01:20:09.689 --> 01:20:12.329 of it. And it's also more poignant this year, 01:20:12.350 --> 01:20:15.270 given the fact that the world is no longer blessed 01:20:15.270 --> 01:20:18.649 with Brian Wilson being on this earth. But he'll 01:20:18.649 --> 01:20:21.729 always be with us through these incredible songs 01:20:21.729 --> 01:20:25.590 such as God Only Knows. So an absolute masterpiece 01:20:25.590 --> 01:20:29.220 of a pick there. And we're down to two. songs 01:20:29.220 --> 01:20:32.840 left for the ultimate mixtape. And it's tough, 01:20:32.859 --> 01:20:35.159 man, coming out of the Beatles and John Lennon 01:20:35.159 --> 01:20:38.720 and the Beach Boys. Where do you go? Let's find 01:20:38.720 --> 01:20:41.399 out from Ed Toth of the Doobie Brothers with 01:20:41.399 --> 01:20:46.640 his pick for the ultimate mixtape. Not exactly 01:20:46.640 --> 01:20:52.659 the lightning round. I'm trying to figure early 01:20:52.659 --> 01:20:55.220 back. I didn't really have a lightning bolt moment. 01:20:56.560 --> 01:20:59.699 But when I do go back and think about songs that 01:20:59.699 --> 01:21:03.359 resonated with me early on, that really made 01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:07.399 me think and feel, I keep coming back to What's 01:21:07.399 --> 01:21:10.560 Going On by Marvin Gaye. And oddly enough, I 01:21:10.560 --> 01:21:14.220 think the first version of that that really resonated 01:21:14.220 --> 01:21:18.479 with me is on a Quincy Jones record, which at 01:21:18.479 --> 01:21:21.180 the time we're recording this, we just lost recently. 01:21:21.920 --> 01:21:24.020 And I actually went back and listened to that 01:21:24.020 --> 01:21:26.960 just the other day. after hearing about his passing. 01:21:27.399 --> 01:21:31.020 And that song means a lot to me for a lot of 01:21:31.020 --> 01:21:33.819 different reasons. Marvin Gaye's What's Going 01:21:33.819 --> 01:21:38.840 On, an absolute anthem, an absolute masterpiece 01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:44.779 of music history, and a song that is so important 01:21:44.779 --> 01:21:47.800 to the world of music. And I can see why it made 01:21:47.800 --> 01:21:49.720 Ed fall in love with music, and it's probably 01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:54.260 made countless others. And it is just such a... 01:21:54.800 --> 01:21:59.600 poignant and powerful song. And the Doobie Brothers 01:21:59.600 --> 01:22:01.600 are always out doing their thing. Be sure to 01:22:01.600 --> 01:22:04.100 catch Ed on the road with them. The Doobie Brothers 01:22:04.100 --> 01:22:06.720 have a new album out this year. Be sure to check 01:22:06.720 --> 01:22:10.100 that out. And Ed's also got some other side projects 01:22:10.100 --> 01:22:12.859 going on. So be sure to follow him on Instagram 01:22:12.859 --> 01:22:15.699 for more on what he's got going on. I appreciate 01:22:15.699 --> 01:22:19.340 him coming on the show to join me for a full. 01:22:19.960 --> 01:22:22.159 Kind of full circle discussion, talking about 01:22:22.159 --> 01:22:24.699 everything from his years with Vertical Horizon 01:22:24.699 --> 01:22:27.859 as their drummer on the Everything You Want and 01:22:27.859 --> 01:22:31.020 Go album, all the way to his current now 20 year 01:22:31.020 --> 01:22:33.779 stint behind the kit for the Doobie Brothers. 01:22:33.939 --> 01:22:36.420 And when he started, he was one of two. And now 01:22:36.420 --> 01:22:38.659 he's the solo drummer. We talk about all that 01:22:38.659 --> 01:22:40.880 on the episode. So be sure to check that out 01:22:40.880 --> 01:22:43.619 in the archives. And thank you so much to Ed 01:22:43.619 --> 01:22:46.100 for coming on. It was an absolute pleasure talking 01:22:46.100 --> 01:22:48.699 music with you. Hope we can do it again. When 01:22:48.699 --> 01:22:52.100 season two rolls around. But with that, we're 01:22:52.100 --> 01:22:54.779 down to the last song of the night. And I've 01:22:54.779 --> 01:22:59.479 already given my pick. So what possibly could 01:22:59.479 --> 01:23:06.500 go here to end out 150 episodes of my weekly 01:23:06.500 --> 01:23:10.500 mixtape? It just so happens that Sean Faust has 01:23:10.500 --> 01:23:14.720 that answer. And it might ring a bell to some 01:23:14.720 --> 01:23:17.699 of you. Here's Sean Faust with his pick. For 01:23:17.699 --> 01:23:20.460 the ultimate mixtape. Dude, you just scared the 01:23:20.460 --> 01:23:21.939 crap out of me. I thought you were going to like 01:23:21.939 --> 01:23:24.100 take my list and do it. There can only be one. 01:23:25.399 --> 01:23:28.659 Dude. All right. So now that I'm not like skitched 01:23:28.659 --> 01:23:32.180 out, can you repeat the question, please? If 01:23:32.180 --> 01:23:36.100 you had to choose one song that either a made 01:23:36.100 --> 01:23:38.579 you fall in love with music for the first time 01:23:38.579 --> 01:23:42.140 or B makes you fall in love with music over and 01:23:42.140 --> 01:23:45.819 over again, every time you hear it. Which song 01:23:45.819 --> 01:23:47.859 would you choose and why? It does not have to 01:23:47.859 --> 01:23:52.520 be a fish song. Well, I mean, what made me fall 01:23:52.520 --> 01:23:56.380 in love with music were themes from film scores, 01:23:56.560 --> 01:23:59.800 which are not songs, by the way. That annoys 01:23:59.800 --> 01:24:02.220 me when they call the Raiders March a song. It's 01:24:02.220 --> 01:24:04.600 right there in the title. It's a march. The Star 01:24:04.600 --> 01:24:07.180 Wars theme is a theme. So what made me fall in 01:24:07.180 --> 01:24:09.520 love with music that still has me in love with 01:24:09.520 --> 01:24:11.600 music is when I hear a really great film score. 01:24:12.909 --> 01:24:15.130 To bring songs into that, I got to go to where 01:24:15.130 --> 01:24:19.350 all of a sudden a song did it for me. Dude, I 01:24:19.350 --> 01:24:23.329 mean, every time, and now I cry because as I 01:24:23.329 --> 01:24:25.189 get older, I realize how beautiful this song 01:24:25.189 --> 01:24:27.289 is. I'm going with The Rainbow Connection by 01:24:27.289 --> 01:24:30.850 Paul Williams, sung by Kermit the Frog. Scooping 01:24:30.850 --> 01:24:33.810 me a second time in a row on this one? Look at 01:24:33.810 --> 01:24:38.109 that. Look at that. I could go with Live to Tell 01:24:38.109 --> 01:24:40.750 by Madonna. Which still does it for me, too. 01:24:40.829 --> 01:24:43.369 But I'm telling you, man, it's the Rainbow Connection. 01:24:43.970 --> 01:24:45.890 Did anybody out there really think I wasn't going 01:24:45.890 --> 01:24:48.989 to close out 150 episodes without Rainbow Connection? 01:24:49.529 --> 01:24:55.770 Come on. Of course I am. It's my favorite song 01:24:55.770 --> 01:24:57.789 of all time. It's Sean's favorite song of all 01:24:57.789 --> 01:25:00.289 time. Please be sure to keep up with everything 01:25:00.289 --> 01:25:02.989 Sean's got going on on his end. Sean Faust music. 01:25:04.060 --> 01:25:07.180 He is on all the streaming sites.

We're closing 01:27:35.409 --> 01:27:38.569 the chapter on season one, and what an incredible 01:27:38.569 --> 01:27:42.569 run it has been. I am so eternally grateful to 01:27:42.569 --> 01:27:44.810 each and every one of you who've spent even a 01:27:44.810 --> 01:27:48.470 minute. Listening to one of these podcasts, supporting 01:27:48.470 --> 01:27:50.710 the show, going the extra mile to help spread 01:27:50.710 --> 01:27:53.390 the word. And I don't want anyone listening to 01:27:53.390 --> 01:27:56.729 think that this show is going away forever. Podcasting 01:27:56.729 --> 01:27:58.770 is in my blood. It's in my heart. It's in my 01:27:58.770 --> 01:28:01.960 spirit. And it's always going to be there. Right 01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:04.199 now, with everything that's gone on the last 01:28:04.199 --> 01:28:06.380 year of my life, I need a couple of months to 01:28:06.380 --> 01:28:09.020 let the dust settle, to recharge my batteries 01:28:09.020 --> 01:28:12.380 and get back to being a husband, a father, a 01:28:12.380 --> 01:28:16.279 friend again. So that way I can work podcasting 01:28:16.279 --> 01:28:18.920 back into my life under this new normal that 01:28:18.920 --> 01:28:21.420 unfortunately does no longer include my father, 01:28:21.479 --> 01:28:26.319 who the only regret I have on my weekly mixtape 01:28:26.319 --> 01:28:29.380 is not having him on as a guest. And that's something 01:28:29.380 --> 01:28:33.109 I didn't think about. Until it was a little too 01:28:33.109 --> 01:28:35.850 late. So I'd like to take this moment to dedicate 01:28:35.850 --> 01:28:42.250 all 150 episodes to him because I love him so 01:28:42.250 --> 01:28:46.350 much and I miss him terribly. And so many of 01:28:46.350 --> 01:28:49.069 the stories that came out of my weekly mixtape 01:28:49.069 --> 01:28:52.550 came from what he has shared with me in music. 01:28:52.909 --> 01:28:56.210 And I think taking a couple of months away to. 01:28:57.140 --> 01:28:59.880 kind of just remember him and honor him so I 01:28:59.880 --> 01:29:01.819 can come back and talk about music again and 01:29:01.819 --> 01:29:04.680 not get choked up like I am in this moment here 01:29:04.680 --> 01:29:07.279 on this episode, I think will be a good thing 01:29:07.279 --> 01:29:09.640 for all of us because there's always going to 01:29:09.640 --> 01:29:12.260 be more music to talk about. And I am excited 01:29:12.260 --> 01:29:14.859 to be able to turn this mic on in a couple of 01:29:14.859 --> 01:29:17.359 months and get right back at it. But I just want 01:29:17.359 --> 01:29:20.520 to also extend my deepest heartfelt thank you 01:29:20.520 --> 01:29:23.239 to anyone again who has ever listened and supported 01:29:23.239 --> 01:29:27.449 this show. Anybody who has shared it with a friend, 01:29:27.510 --> 01:29:30.369 shared it with a fellow podcaster, reached out, 01:29:30.430 --> 01:29:32.729 been a guest, offered me to be a guest on their 01:29:32.729 --> 01:29:35.649 show. The community of podcasters that I've connected 01:29:35.649 --> 01:29:38.569 with is something I'm extremely grateful for 01:29:38.569 --> 01:29:42.210 and cherish. I've made some amazing friends that 01:29:42.210 --> 01:29:45.890 I hold now outside of the podcasting sphere because 01:29:45.890 --> 01:29:49.810 of this. And that is something I am truly grateful 01:29:49.810 --> 01:29:53.710 for. And that gratefulness also extends.
