WEBVTT 00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.320 What is going on, friends? Welcome to My Weekly 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.160 Mixtape, the show that takes the classic mixtape 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.480 approach to building a modern playlist. I'm your 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.460 host, Brian Colburn, and I am back for another 00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:27.600 wheel spin episode of the show.

But with that, let's 00:01:26.209 --> 00:01:28.250 waste no time and get right down the business. 00:01:28.349 --> 00:01:31.390 And I am going to press. that online randomizing 00:01:31.390 --> 00:01:34.129 button, and see what we come up with for this 00:01:34.129 --> 00:01:45.049 week's episode. All right. This is right up my 00:01:45.049 --> 00:01:50.329 alley. Hidden CD tracks of the 1990s. sent in 00:01:50.329 --> 00:01:53.829 over email to myweeklymixtape at gmail .com by 00:01:53.829 --> 00:01:56.549 a mixtaper who has to be referred to as Benjamin 00:01:56.549 --> 00:01:59.030 C. So, Benjamin, thank you so much for sending 00:01:59.030 --> 00:02:01.769 this topic in. And yeah, this is a great one, 00:02:01.829 --> 00:02:04.390 and I am going to have a lot of fun diving down 00:02:04.390 --> 00:02:08.969 this rabbit hole because CD tracks in the 90s, 00:02:08.969 --> 00:02:11.930 hidden CD tracks, are kind of the cheat codes, 00:02:12.310 --> 00:02:15.729 if you will, of the musical era. They are the 00:02:15.729 --> 00:02:18.169 up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, 00:02:18.189 --> 00:02:21.370 B, A, start. for CDs. You didn't get these on 00:02:21.370 --> 00:02:24.330 cassettes. You didn't get these on vinyl. There 00:02:24.330 --> 00:02:26.669 was no such thing as streaming at this time. 00:02:27.009 --> 00:02:29.349 Maybe towards the end of the decade, you had 00:02:29.349 --> 00:02:32.550 the start of Napster creeping up, but this was 00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:36.490 definitely a byproduct of the CD era. One of 00:02:36.490 --> 00:02:40.090 the most fun things about CDs is never knowing 00:02:40.090 --> 00:02:42.349 what you were going to get. When you pop that 00:02:42.349 --> 00:02:46.310 CD in, maybe you saw 37 tracks, but only 13 were 00:02:46.310 --> 00:02:49.960 listed. Maybe in the era of three or four minute 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.500 songs, you thought it was odd that the CD was 00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:55.919 running 65 minutes when it's only 10 tracks. 00:02:56.340 --> 00:02:59.560 That was part of the mystery of opening up and 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.180 putting a CD in for the first time. And they 00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:04.560 were never announced. There was not a lot of 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.259 fanfare behind them. It was just something that 00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:09.840 happened and then word of mouth started to spread. 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.280 It was a fantastic marketing idea. because it 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.080 got people talking about the album as a whole 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.020 outside of the singles that you were hearing 00:03:19.020 --> 00:03:22.759 on radio and MTV at the time. This was one of 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.800 the first times since vinyl records, and I know 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.939 I'm basically only talking about 8 -tracks and 00:03:27.939 --> 00:03:30.780 cassettes at this point, that they truly used 00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:33.520 the physical medium to do something a little 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.139 bit more than just present the songs that the 00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:38.740 artist had recorded. Obviously, the hidden track 00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:41.060 is a song that the artist recorded. But it was 00:03:41.060 --> 00:03:44.639 in a way that you kind of had to find out about 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.219 it organically. Things weren't leaked online 00:03:47.219 --> 00:03:50.879 at this point. There was word of mouth that definitely 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.520 played a huge role in spreading the hidden CD 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.719 tracks after they became available. But there 00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.000 was that feeling of discovery. If you discovered 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.780 it on your own for the first time, that you stumbled 00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:06.319 across something that was kind of a wink, wink, 00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:08.979 nudge, nudge from the artist himself to you, 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.860 the listener. And I feel like in the vinyl LP 00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:15.699 era, they had a lot of fun little gadgets that 00:04:15.699 --> 00:04:19.639 they did with record album presentation. Thinking 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:24.000 about the spinning disc of Led Zeppelin 3. I 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.699 don't know, Grand Funks shining on that used 00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:29.240 the 3D album cover art that you had to put the 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.480 glasses on to truly get the effect up. Things 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:36.279 like that. But here it was done through music 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.980 as opposed to... the artistic side of the coin, 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.680 the way the album was presented to the listeners 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.779 on the shelves in the record store. This was 00:04:46.779 --> 00:04:49.220 something that was a present that you got after 00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:53.779 purchasing the album. And it's a distinctly 90s 00:04:53.779 --> 00:04:56.360 thing because a lot of these songs you can find 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.959 on streaming now, but they're just listed at 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.620 the bottom of the track listing on Spotify or 00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:04.800 Apple Music. And I kind of feel like that takes 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.040 the fun out of listening to the track. Now, obviously, 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.100 The CD listening experience and streaming listening 00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:15.399 experiences are two different animals. So when 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.160 you're streaming a bunch of songs on random, 00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:21.139 the last thing you want is for a track to play 00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:23.899 and then have a bunch of silence before a hidden 00:05:23.899 --> 00:05:26.600 track. That takes away from what people are looking 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.240 for when they're shuffling their playlist on 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.180 one of these streaming sites. However, with a 00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:35.720 CD, when you were listening to it front to back, 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.259 an album listen, it really helped kind of hammer 00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:43.220 home that this was an experience more than just 00:05:43.220 --> 00:05:46.980 an album. And not every band did it. And the 00:05:46.980 --> 00:05:49.060 bands that did it really went out of their way 00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:51.740 to make it special. And I think that's what I'm 00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:53.620 going to focus on with the songs that I come 00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:57.439 up with for this playlist. Now, while I'm mulling 00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.439 over which direction I want to start this in, 00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:01.459 let me take a moment to remind you, if you are 00:06:01.459 --> 00:06:05.519 listening on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.600 Please leave a five -star review, thumbs up, 00:06:08.620 --> 00:06:11.019 whatever you need to do. Throw a comment, throw 00:06:11.019 --> 00:06:13.540 a like, throw a subscribe, throw a share, do 00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:16.560 all the things. It helps me spread the word about 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.720 this show, and it helps other people learn more 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.540 about and discover My Weekly Mixtape. I appreciate 00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:24.920 you doing that. And once again, if you want to 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.379 submit future topic ideas, you can do so at myweeklymixtape 00:06:29.379 --> 00:06:33.100 at gmail .com, at myweeklymixtape on all the 00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:35.740 social media channels. through the contact page 00:06:35.740 --> 00:06:39.240 at myweeklymixtape .com or by joining the Mixtaper 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:43.620 community at patreon .com forward slash myweeklymixtape. 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.860 All right, now in order to kick things off correctly 00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:49.579 here, there are so many different directions 00:06:49.579 --> 00:06:52.019 I can go, but I want to start with a song that 00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:56.819 I think defines the importance of the hidden 00:06:56.819 --> 00:07:00.740 CD track. And I think there's no other song that 00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:03.990 best defines that. by actually going outside 00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:07.029 of the rock world and into the hip -hop and R 00:07:07.029 --> 00:07:10.290 &B universe for this one. And I'm going to do 00:07:10.290 --> 00:07:13.610 that with Lauryn Hill's Can't Take My Eyes Off 00:07:13.610 --> 00:07:17.290 You, which was a hidden track on the miseducation 00:07:17.290 --> 00:07:21.209 of Lauryn Hill. Now, the reason it was a hidden 00:07:21.209 --> 00:07:25.329 track on that album was because a year earlier, 00:07:25.470 --> 00:07:29.209 the song was featured in a movie, and it was 00:07:29.209 --> 00:07:35.490 Mel Gibson. Julia Roberts, oh God, Conspiracy 00:07:35.490 --> 00:07:38.810 Theory. It was featured in the movie along with 00:07:38.810 --> 00:07:41.069 the original, which was done by Frankie Valli. 00:07:41.110 --> 00:07:44.889 This was a cover and it was not a single. They 00:07:44.889 --> 00:07:47.290 did not release this as a single. This was just 00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:49.689 something that she recorded for the soundtrack 00:07:49.689 --> 00:07:55.449 of the movie. However, a DJ heard the song, loved 00:07:55.449 --> 00:08:00.000 it, put it on CD and started spinning it. and 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.519 it took on a life of its own after that. Stations 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.899 all over the country started playing it. It landed 00:08:07.899 --> 00:08:10.600 on the Billboard charts, even though it was not 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.980 released as a single. And the label realized 00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:16.779 they had a hit on their hands, so they had to 00:08:16.779 --> 00:08:20.839 include it on the CD itself. Why they did it 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.519 as a hidden track at this point, I'm not quite 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.449 sure. I'm assuming it has to do with production 00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:29.189 and maybe the booklet and trade cards were already 00:08:29.189 --> 00:08:32.149 pre -produced before the actual album CDs were 00:08:32.149 --> 00:08:35.470 produced for the final pressings. Because honestly, 00:08:35.649 --> 00:08:37.809 that's the only logical thing I can think of. 00:08:37.950 --> 00:08:40.470 Because the song had already made a name for 00:08:40.470 --> 00:08:42.950 itself prior to the miseducation of Lauryn Hill 00:08:42.950 --> 00:08:47.549 coming out. But that aside, this was the first 00:08:47.549 --> 00:08:52.769 time a hidden track was nominated for a Grammy 00:08:52.769 --> 00:08:55.789 Award. So I think right there is the importance 00:08:55.789 --> 00:08:58.730 of the hidden track. And it can also serve as 00:08:58.730 --> 00:09:00.850 one of those, how the hell did Brian know that 00:09:00.850 --> 00:09:03.309 information? Yeah, this is just one of the many 00:09:03.309 --> 00:09:07.370 weird, random musical facts that I have stored 00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:09.929 in the back of my mind that serve me no purpose 00:09:09.929 --> 00:09:12.950 other than using them for situations just like 00:09:12.950 --> 00:09:16.049 this. But if it ever comes up as a question on 00:09:16.049 --> 00:09:18.330 Jeopardy, at least you're prepared at this point. 00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:22.509 That aside. Just because the song isn't listed 00:09:22.509 --> 00:09:25.590 on the track listing doesn't mean that it doesn't 00:09:25.590 --> 00:09:28.690 solidify itself and its importance to the music 00:09:28.690 --> 00:09:31.590 community. Now, I'll be perfectly honest with 00:09:31.590 --> 00:09:33.409 you. Not every song I'm going to talk about tonight 00:09:33.409 --> 00:09:36.350 is going to hit this level of importance or this 00:09:36.350 --> 00:09:39.950 level of impact. Some of these are going to be 00:09:39.950 --> 00:09:41.669 fun. Some of these are going to be silly. Some 00:09:41.669 --> 00:09:43.509 of these are going to be cover songs because 00:09:43.509 --> 00:09:46.929 that was part of what Hidden Tracks were. Maybe 00:09:46.929 --> 00:09:49.870 they were something that... didn't quite fit 00:09:49.870 --> 00:09:53.710 the vibe of the entire album. But it was something 00:09:53.710 --> 00:09:57.230 that the artist wanted to include, but not necessarily 00:09:57.230 --> 00:10:00.750 make it a part of the album's quote -unquote 00:10:00.750 --> 00:10:04.649 canon. But sometimes these songs became part 00:10:04.649 --> 00:10:08.830 of the canon, regardless of such. And I think 00:10:08.830 --> 00:10:11.570 I'm going to ease into the rock side of things, 00:10:11.809 --> 00:10:14.909 but stick with the female side of music here 00:10:14.909 --> 00:10:18.620 and go with a song that... Was not only a hidden 00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:24.539 track, it was a hidden track at the end of a 00:10:24.539 --> 00:10:27.480 hidden track. So it was like a double secret 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.399 probation hidden track. Because at the end of 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.919 Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette, Wake 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:39.759 Up is track 12. Then track 13 starts with the 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.159 Jimmy the Saint blend of You Oughta Know. It's 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.639 a remix of the track. And when I first heard 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.500 the CD, I'm like, oh, they put a different remix 00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:49.019 of You Oughta Know at the end because this was 00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:51.519 the big radio single that broke her out. Fine. 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.559 Makes perfect sense. But when that ends, there's 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.100 another minute of silence followed up by Alanis 00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:04.299 taking a deep breath and singing this acapella 00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:10.720 song just by herself. Dark, haunting, vulnerable. 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.259 The perfect way to close Jagged Little Pill. 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.179 Now this only appears on the CD release. It didn't 00:11:20.179 --> 00:11:22.080 come out on the, because at the time in 1995, 00:11:22.299 --> 00:11:24.919 they still were pressing vinyl. Wasn't on there. 00:11:25.539 --> 00:11:28.399 This was a, you had to own the CD to get it, 00:11:28.419 --> 00:11:30.940 which obviously at this point, vinyl was pretty 00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:34.919 much hitting its decline and CDs were becoming, 00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:38.879 if not were already the predominant format in 00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.090 music. as if they needed another way to kind 00:11:42.090 --> 00:11:44.909 of get people to really buy in on CDs more. This 00:11:44.909 --> 00:11:48.429 was just another cherry on top of that. But this 00:11:48.429 --> 00:11:51.470 is one of those songs that, even though it's 00:11:51.470 --> 00:11:55.690 a hidden track, Alanis has played it a lot throughout 00:11:55.690 --> 00:11:58.590 the years. I'm not saying every year. There's 00:11:58.590 --> 00:12:01.450 some tours she's completely skipped it. However, 00:12:01.610 --> 00:12:05.289 since about 2019, I want to say, she has played 00:12:05.289 --> 00:12:08.740 this song at least once every year. while out 00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:12.360 on tour, and obviously more so on the post -COVID 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.059 Jagged Little Pill anniversary tours, because 00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:17.960 that's part of the whole experience of that tour. 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.080 But even after that tour ended, she's still continuing 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.820 to play it. And in case you were wondering, yes, 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.519 I sometimes spend a little bit more time on Set 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.460 List FM than I should. I love digging around 00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:32.740 and seeing what songs artists are breaking out 00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:35.080 of nowhere. If you go through, you can actually 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.740 see the complete song listing by artist. And 00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:39.820 you can look up certain songs and see how many 00:12:39.820 --> 00:12:41.940 times they've been played, when they've been 00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:44.440 played. It's such a fun website, but I digress. 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.019 So there's obviously something behind this song 00:12:48.019 --> 00:12:50.740 that resonates with her fans, resonates with 00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:53.860 fans of the album, and obviously resonates with 00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:55.240 her because she doesn't have to play the song. 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.340 It's her decision when she walks up on that stage. 00:12:57.779 --> 00:13:00.440 So I feel like Your House has to be included 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.679 on this mix, if for nothing else, for the fact 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.500 that... At least over the last six years, it's 00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:08.879 being recognized year in and year out as she 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:12.299 continues to tour. Now, while this song has a 00:13:12.299 --> 00:13:15.379 little bit of a, I guess we'll use the word stalker 00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:18.460 -esque vibe to it, I feel like here's where we 00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:21.000 take this playlist a little bit off the rails. 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.580 And we go with something that's kind of the same 00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:29.100 theme, but kind of not. And it's certainly not 00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:31.480 a serious song by any stretch of the imagination. 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.080 But if you were a fan of Green Day's Dookie, 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.220 after F .O .D. ended, you were treated to a little 00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:41.559 bit of silence, like a lot of these tracks did. 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.700 Then you were treated to Trey Cools' All By Myself. 00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:49.259 Considering the success, I guess you'd call it, 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.360 that Trey had singing Dominated Love Slave on 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.299 Kerplunk, I guess it was only fitting that on 00:13:55.299 --> 00:13:58.700 their major label debut, Trey got a song to himself, 00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:01.220 and this one's tucked at the end of the album. 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.860 And I don't think I need to get into what this 00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:06.220 song's about. I think the title pretty much can 00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:08.039 sum it up for you. You can give it a listen and 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.279 figure it out for yourself. I'll have the playlist 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.480 embedded over on the episode page at myweeklymixtape 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.779 .com if you want to listen, but I don't think 00:14:15.779 --> 00:14:18.500 I need to explain this one. And it's one of those 00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:21.240 songs that showed the band's sense of humor. 00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:24.919 Now, similar to Alanis' Your House, the band 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:32.990 has played this song live. anniversary tour that 00:14:32.990 --> 00:14:36.470 they just did in 2024 surrounding dookie that 00:14:36.470 --> 00:14:39.389 was played at a lot of the shows however don't 00:14:39.389 --> 00:14:41.809 be shocked it has popped up sporadically over 00:14:41.809 --> 00:14:43.929 the years maybe when the band is just goofing 00:14:43.929 --> 00:14:47.750 off it's not played a lot anymore obviously with 00:14:47.750 --> 00:14:50.690 the dookie anniversary tour aside however you 00:14:50.690 --> 00:14:52.750 never know when you see green day you might catch 00:14:52.750 --> 00:14:54.750 a little bit of trey cool singing all by myself 00:14:54.750 --> 00:14:57.360 and hopefully that's all Although I will say 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.720 on the Insomniac tour, they did break out Dominated 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.639 Loveslave from Kerplunk with Billy Joe on drums. 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.879 That was definitely one that was fun. And I wish 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.419 they would do just a little bit more because 00:15:08.419 --> 00:15:11.519 it was just a ridiculously stupid song to break 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.740 out in the middle of a punk show. And I guess 00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:17.360 just as ridiculously stupid as All By Myself. 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.320 Although Dominated Loveslave can be found dead 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.139 smack in the middle of Kerplunk and All By Myself, 00:15:23.139 --> 00:15:26.590 not so much. And I think to follow up all by 00:15:26.590 --> 00:15:28.830 myself, I'm going to stay in this kind of silly 00:15:28.830 --> 00:15:32.649 place and go with a cover song. Although there's 00:15:32.649 --> 00:15:35.789 a lot surrounding this album that involves quote 00:15:35.789 --> 00:15:40.169 unquote hidden tracks. Because as most CDs start 00:15:40.169 --> 00:15:44.309 on track one, Korn's Follow the Leader actually 00:15:44.309 --> 00:15:49.149 starts on track 13. The original CD contains 00:15:49.149 --> 00:15:54.789 25 songs. The first 12 songs on Follow the Leader 00:15:54.789 --> 00:15:59.370 are each five seconds of silence, which added 00:15:59.370 --> 00:16:03.549 up is a minute of silence. Later on the CD at 00:16:03.549 --> 00:16:06.669 track 22, there's a song called Justin that was 00:16:06.669 --> 00:16:09.769 written and recorded for a member of the Make 00:16:09.769 --> 00:16:12.870 -A -Wish Foundation who wanted to meet the band 00:16:12.870 --> 00:16:15.250 during the recording of this album. And they 00:16:15.250 --> 00:16:18.710 recorded this song for him and the first 12 tracks 00:16:18.710 --> 00:16:21.830 on the album. are five seconds of silence that 00:16:21.830 --> 00:16:25.590 equal up to one minute of silence for this fan 00:16:25.590 --> 00:16:28.429 of the band, which I think is an amazing thing 00:16:28.429 --> 00:16:32.370 for them to do. It keeps Justin in everybody's 00:16:32.370 --> 00:16:37.029 memory moving forward. That being said, I was 00:16:37.029 --> 00:16:39.269 working at a record store when this album came 00:16:39.269 --> 00:16:42.409 out, and I cannot tell you how many people tried 00:16:42.409 --> 00:16:45.759 to return it. It got to the point... that we 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.419 put stickers on the CD saying, album starts on 00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:53.559 track 13. Ask at the counter. Because people 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:58.100 were assuming that their CD was defected. Rightfully 00:16:58.100 --> 00:17:00.100 so. This is the first time I'd ever seen anything 00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:02.639 like this. And I thought it was a very unique 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.940 way for the band to get word out about the album 00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:11.039 and word out about Justin in an era where there 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:16.559 wasn't viral videos. and social media. It got 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.420 to the point where one customer had actually 00:17:18.420 --> 00:17:21.240 asked me if the entire album was considered a 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.299 quote -unquote hidden track by the way they did 00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:27.380 that. And while that's not the case, at the end 00:17:27.380 --> 00:17:31.180 of track 25, which was My Gift to You, there 00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:35.039 were two hidden tracks. The song ends, there's 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:36.839 a couple of minutes of silence, and then there's 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.220 a little interlude for about two minutes. And 00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:44.769 then there is the nearly five minutes of awesome 00:17:44.769 --> 00:17:49.990 that is Korn and Cheech Marin covering Earache 00:17:49.990 --> 00:17:54.509 My Eye from Up in Smoke. Being in my 20s at the 00:17:54.509 --> 00:17:58.690 time, I was all about comedy movies. And Up in 00:17:58.690 --> 00:18:02.230 Smoke is one of those must -see comedies in your 00:18:02.230 --> 00:18:05.769 life. So when I first heard this, I had my stereo 00:18:05.769 --> 00:18:08.150 so loud, I think I still have tinnitus from it. 00:18:08.289 --> 00:18:12.759 This was so much fun. And yes, it's silly in 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.319 concept because of the movie, but Korn and Cheech 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:19.599 Marin play it straight and they rock the shit 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.140 out of it. They take it seriously, even though 00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:27.339 the song was from a comedy. And I think to follow 00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:30.240 that up to close out Side A, I am going to go 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:34.019 with another nu metal track here and go with 00:18:34.019 --> 00:18:37.200 a song that doesn't close out the album as a 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.650 hidden track. But it's tucked in between two 00:18:40.650 --> 00:18:45.950 songs on the album, as well as at the end of 00:18:45.950 --> 00:18:50.029 the album's biggest single. This is something 00:18:50.029 --> 00:18:52.250 that you can't find on streaming because it was 00:18:52.250 --> 00:18:55.470 only available on the original pressing. And 00:18:55.470 --> 00:18:58.369 the song was originally recorded for this band's 00:18:58.369 --> 00:19:02.269 1995 cassette demo. And on that demo, it was 00:19:02.269 --> 00:19:05.410 called Stereotype. Some people also refer to 00:19:05.410 --> 00:19:08.789 this song as Blind. Depending on who you ask, 00:19:08.869 --> 00:19:11.569 I've been trying to figure out exactly what the 00:19:11.569 --> 00:19:14.329 real story is on this, and everywhere you look, 00:19:14.390 --> 00:19:16.730 it's referred to differently. I've even seen 00:19:16.730 --> 00:19:19.809 it listed as Stereotype Me. And the song is by 00:19:19.809 --> 00:19:23.529 Limp Bizkit, and it's on $3 bill, y 'all. And 00:19:23.529 --> 00:19:27.490 if you have the original CD, it's tucked in after 00:19:27.490 --> 00:19:32.180 Faith ends, but before Stinkfinger begins. This 00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:35.079 feels like a nod to Tom Petty here. Yes, I know 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:37.319 Limp Bizkit was not shouting out Tom Petty on 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:39.980 this track in any way, shape, or form. But if 00:19:39.980 --> 00:19:42.539 you remember at the end of Running Down a Dream 00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:45.700 on the original Full Moon Fever CD, there is 00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:49.019 that little hidden track, Attention CD Listeners. 00:19:49.259 --> 00:19:52.000 And while Tom's is just a spoken little joke 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.720 in the middle, this is actually a clip of a song 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:58.140 that the band had done in demo form in a full 00:19:58.140 --> 00:20:01.000 version. earlier in their career prior to this 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.240 album. Why it didn't make the final listing on 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.940 $3 bill, y 'all, I'd have no idea. I'd love to 00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:09.259 find out. That'll have to be something I ask 00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:12.099 if and when I ever get somebody from Limp Bizkit 00:20:12.099 --> 00:20:15.299 on the podcast. But this is one of those instances 00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:17.799 where the hidden track doesn't happen at the 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:20.240 end of the album. It happens while you're playing 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:23.180 the CD straight through, which doesn't happen 00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:25.559 quite as often. I mean, honestly, most of them 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.849 were at the end of CDs. But there are instances 00:20:28.849 --> 00:20:31.029 where songs were tucked in the middle of CDs 00:20:31.029 --> 00:20:34.730 and there were even discs that did pre -run tracks, 00:20:35.069 --> 00:20:38.849 meaning you had to start at track one at zero 00:20:38.849 --> 00:20:43.150 zero zero, hit the rewind button, rewind the 00:20:43.150 --> 00:20:45.549 track in CD form. Obviously, this isn't like 00:20:45.549 --> 00:20:47.930 a cassette here to hear the song. I think a few 00:20:47.930 --> 00:20:51.930 examples of that 311 did it on Transistor. The 00:20:51.930 --> 00:20:54.890 Offspring did it on Americana. And I don't want 00:20:54.890 --> 00:20:57.029 to say Nirvana did it on Nevermind. I think there's 00:20:57.029 --> 00:20:59.390 some ambient noise before Smells Like Teen Spirit. 00:21:00.210 --> 00:21:02.710 It's also been done, I want to say, Public Enemy 00:21:02.710 --> 00:21:06.430 did it on Music and Our Message. So again, just 00:21:06.430 --> 00:21:09.269 these hidden Easter eggs that are so important 00:21:09.269 --> 00:21:14.049 to the 90s CD experience. And I think that's 00:21:14.049 --> 00:21:18.569 going to close out Side A of this 10 -song hidden 00:21:18.569 --> 00:21:22.009 CD tracks playlist, which kicked off with Lauryn 00:21:22.009 --> 00:21:24.970 Hill's Can't Take My Eyes Off You, I Love You 00:21:24.970 --> 00:21:28.049 Baby, followed up by Alanis Morissette's Your 00:21:28.049 --> 00:21:32.150 House, Green Days, All By Myself, Korn and Cheech 00:21:32.150 --> 00:21:35.730 Marin's Earache My Eye, and Limp Bizkit's Blind 00:21:35.730 --> 00:21:38.990 or Stereotype Me, depending on who you ask. Head 00:21:38.990 --> 00:21:41.630 over to myweeklymixtape .com to hear all the 00:21:41.630 --> 00:21:44.390 songs I've discussed in this mix through the 00:21:44.390 --> 00:21:49.009 playlist embedded on the episode page. And I 00:21:49.009 --> 00:21:51.769 think I'm going to start side B of this hidden 00:21:52.329 --> 00:21:54.869 CD tracks playlist by going back to the punk 00:21:54.869 --> 00:21:57.869 universe again. And I'm going to go with a song 00:21:57.869 --> 00:22:01.529 that's both a cover and a re -record of a cover 00:22:01.529 --> 00:22:05.809 that this band covered 15 years prior to this 00:22:05.809 --> 00:22:09.549 version coming out. The original version was 00:22:09.549 --> 00:22:12.069 recorded as a B -side for this band's single 00:22:12.069 --> 00:22:17.289 1945. And it came out in either 81 or 82. I'm 00:22:17.289 --> 00:22:19.750 not 100 % sure which year it was put out in. 00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:22.819 but one of those two years, and the band is Social 00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:26.720 Distortion. The song is a cover of The Rolling 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.980 Stones' Under My Thumb. You can find the original 00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:33.420 on the Mainliner CD compilation if you don't 00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:36.079 have that original single. But the version I'm 00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.720 going to talk about tonight, the hidden CD version, 00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:43.799 is the re -record from their 1996 album White 00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:48.119 Light, White Heat, White Trash. Awesome Social 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.960 Distortion album. And this hidden track, you 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:54.880 know me and my love of cover songs. This is one 00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:58.039 of those songs that solidified why I love covers 00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:02.400 so, so much. The energy they bring to this version 00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:07.279 is undeniable. And the fact that it sounds stronger 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.200 15 years after they covered it originally, back 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.339 in the early 80s. And I have to be honest, the 00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:17.119 way this was recorded, the performance they gave 00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:20.880 on this version. fits seamlessly into the White 00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:23.039 Light album. And I can't picture listening to 00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.019 the White Light album without this cover at the 00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:28.759 end of it. I'm actually shocked they didn't put 00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.880 it on as a non -hidden track and release it as 00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:34.980 a single. They really slayed this one. One of 00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:38.380 my favorite cover songs from the entire decade, 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.839 let alone hidden tracks. And I think because 00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.039 I'm on this cover song kick now, I'm going to 00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.450 stay there for a little bit. And go with another 00:23:49.450 --> 00:23:53.369 band that dropped not one, but two covers at 00:23:53.369 --> 00:23:56.509 the end of one of their EPs. And at the end of 00:23:56.509 --> 00:23:58.710 the day, this is truly a toss -up, a coin flip 00:23:58.710 --> 00:24:01.769 for me, because I can go with either their cover 00:24:01.769 --> 00:24:05.930 of Pig Faces Suck or their cover of Adam and 00:24:05.930 --> 00:24:08.490 the Ant's Physical You're So. And I'm talking 00:24:08.490 --> 00:24:12.309 about Nine Inch Nails off their Broken EP. One 00:24:12.309 --> 00:24:15.309 of the first introductions I had to Nine Inch 00:24:15.309 --> 00:24:20.769 Nails was this EP. prior to Closer becoming the 00:24:20.769 --> 00:24:24.349 massive hit it was, but after Pretty Hate Machine. 00:24:24.930 --> 00:24:27.690 So this was the EP that I discovered them on 00:24:27.690 --> 00:24:30.349 because of Wish, and it sent me back to Pretty 00:24:30.349 --> 00:24:33.109 Hate Machine, and then obviously I became the 00:24:33.109 --> 00:24:36.049 fan that I was of Nine Inch Nails from Closer 00:24:36.049 --> 00:24:40.990 on. However, I will admit I do not have the original 00:24:40.990 --> 00:24:43.069 pressing of this, because the original pressing, 00:24:43.170 --> 00:24:46.410 if you're lucky enough to have it, has a mini 00:24:46.410 --> 00:24:50.680 CD. with these two singles on it, meaning Physical 00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:55.000 You're So and Suck. Most copies that people have 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.539 are the repress where they are the hidden track. 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:01.700 But if you have the original mini CD of these 00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:04.500 two tracks, one, don't get rid of it because 00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:07.160 it's worth a little bit of money. And two, I'd 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:09.259 love for you to send me a picture of it because 00:25:09.259 --> 00:25:11.640 I've never seen it out in the wild and I'm always 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:14.980 looking for it. Myweeklymixtape at gmail .com. 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.690 Please send it my way. And I think both of these 00:25:17.690 --> 00:25:20.630 covers kind of fall under the faithful rendition. 00:25:20.630 --> 00:25:24.609 I mean, Pigface's Suck is very faithful to the 00:25:24.609 --> 00:25:27.930 original. And I feel like Physical Your So is 00:25:27.930 --> 00:25:31.029 just a bit heftier than Adam and the Ant's version, 00:25:31.130 --> 00:25:35.630 but it still keeps the original's intention intact. 00:25:36.490 --> 00:25:39.670 It's by no way, shape, or form a color -by -numbers 00:25:39.670 --> 00:25:42.609 cover. Trent Reznor definitely makes the version 00:25:42.609 --> 00:25:45.470 his own and puts his stamp on it. But there's 00:25:45.470 --> 00:25:48.789 definitely a hat tip, love, homage to the original 00:25:48.789 --> 00:25:52.670 at play here. So he's not deviating so far away 00:25:52.670 --> 00:25:55.210 from the original that it feels like it's a completely 00:25:55.210 --> 00:25:59.109 different composition. The heft and the energy 00:25:59.109 --> 00:26:02.269 is there, but then again, it's there on the original 00:26:02.269 --> 00:26:07.250 as well. And as an EP as a whole, Broken kind 00:26:07.250 --> 00:26:10.589 of bridges that gap between Pretty Hate Machine's 00:26:10.589 --> 00:26:14.069 synth -pop sound and the industrial sound that 00:26:14.069 --> 00:26:17.710 they get into on the downward spiral. And these 00:26:17.710 --> 00:26:21.569 two songs are kind of that final step in that 00:26:21.569 --> 00:26:24.910 bridge, and I love them both so much. But I think 00:26:24.910 --> 00:26:27.329 at the end of the day, I'm going to have to go 00:26:27.329 --> 00:26:31.089 with Physical for tonight's playlist with zero 00:26:31.089 --> 00:26:36.069 disrespect to Suck. And man, there are so many 00:26:36.069 --> 00:26:38.150 other songs I can get to tonight, and I only 00:26:38.150 --> 00:26:41.059 have three left. And I'm trying to just spin 00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:44.160 through my brain which ones would catch the most. 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.799 How did you not bring up blank insert song here? 00:26:48.380 --> 00:26:52.900 And I feel like I'd be doing this playlist a 00:26:52.900 --> 00:26:58.740 disservice if I didn't include a song that while 00:26:58.740 --> 00:27:05.059 it's a hidden track, it's so good that it's baffled 00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:08.880 me. For nearly 30 years as to why it didn't make 00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:12.420 the original release. And that's going to be 00:27:12.420 --> 00:27:18.259 Damone from Deftones Around the Fur. This is 00:27:18.259 --> 00:27:21.400 one of those tracks that just blew your mind, 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.119 especially if you had one of those old school 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.759 CD players that did the countdown for the song 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.720 as opposed to counting up the track. Because 00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:33.440 it's a long ass track. I mean, MX is only a five 00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:36.990 minute song. And then there's nearly 15 minutes 00:27:36.990 --> 00:27:40.230 of silence before Bong Hit, which is only like 00:27:40.230 --> 00:27:43.609 20 seconds long. And then there's another 12 00:27:43.609 --> 00:27:46.130 minutes of silence before you get to Damone. 00:27:46.190 --> 00:27:49.269 Damone starts well after the 32 -minute mark 00:27:49.269 --> 00:27:53.269 on the track itself. So when you think about 00:27:53.269 --> 00:27:56.769 it, between MX, Bong Hit, and Damone, there's 00:27:56.769 --> 00:28:00.470 over 25 minutes of silence on this CD. You really 00:28:00.470 --> 00:28:02.849 had to kind of grind it out to get to these tracks. 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.220 Bong hit not being a track per se, but, you know, 00:28:06.220 --> 00:28:10.240 breaking up the silence, if you will. But Damone 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:15.940 as a song is so friggin solid. I've always wondered 00:28:15.940 --> 00:28:20.700 how it was not considered to be a part of around 00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:24.220 the fur. Now, I have to give credit where credit 00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:29.019 is due on streaming sites. The MX track is still 00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:34.619 over 37 minutes long. And on Apple Music, there 00:28:34.619 --> 00:28:39.460 is parentheses saying includes Hidden Tracks, 00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:43.180 Bong Hit, and Damone. Spotify doesn't include 00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:46.720 that. I feel like Apple Music kind of spoils 00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:50.039 the party because this is one of those few streaming 00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:52.119 instances, like I talked about at the beginning 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.539 of this episode, where you can relive that Hidden 00:28:56.539 --> 00:29:00.000 Track experience on streaming. And I kind of 00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:02.839 love that fact. But I don't like the spoiler 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:06.019 that Apple Music put on there. They should just 00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:08.980 call it MX and let the fans figure it out for 00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:10.819 themselves. But that's just me. That's just my 00:29:10.819 --> 00:29:15.359 opinion. However, they did not split it into 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:17.859 three tracks like other artists have done tonight. 00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:21.339 So I got to give respect for that. But this next 00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:26.059 track on streaming was definitely split out into 00:29:26.059 --> 00:29:29.319 its own track. And I feel like it kind of takes 00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.779 the fun. a little bit away from the discovery 00:29:32.779 --> 00:29:36.259 aspect of it, but maybe that's just me being 00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:40.380 nostalgic for a day when these things were special 00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:45.099 and unique and needed to be discovered and didn't 00:29:45.099 --> 00:29:48.220 just happen because the next track started playing. 00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:51.400 And to be perfectly honest, if I was shuffling 00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:55.079 my Nirvana catalog, endless nameless popping 00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:58.400 up in the middle of a shuffle, just feels wrong 00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:01.920 it needs to come a little bit after something 00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:04.099 in the way they kind of need to be back to back 00:30:04.099 --> 00:30:07.279 because to me that is the never mind experience 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:10.279 and this is the next track that i am going to 00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:14.720 follow up deftones demone with nirvana's endless 00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.720 nameless for a lot of people this was the first 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:24.339 hidden track that became What the hell was that 00:30:24.339 --> 00:30:28.259 at the end of Nevermind? I mean, when you think 00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:31.660 about it, it truly is the yang to the yin of 00:30:31.660 --> 00:30:35.619 Something in the Way. I couldn't picture Nevermind 00:30:35.619 --> 00:30:39.380 without this song, and I couldn't picture a playlist 00:30:39.380 --> 00:30:42.940 of hidden CD tracks without discussing Endless 00:30:42.940 --> 00:30:47.400 Nameless. It is every bit of the eyebrow -raising 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:51.740 insanity. that defines what a hidden track was. 00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:55.099 Was that supposed to be there? Was that a mistake? 00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:58.519 Where does this fit into the artist's vision 00:30:58.519 --> 00:31:02.400 of the album? It raises so many questions, and 00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:05.259 Endless Nameless was one of the first times I 00:31:05.259 --> 00:31:09.160 discovered a hidden CD track. And it blew my 00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:12.859 mind. I wanted to know more. Obviously, not the 00:31:12.859 --> 00:31:15.039 first time it happened, and certainly not the 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:17.480 last. Because hidden tracks go all the way back 00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:20.660 to Abbey Road with Her Majesty. Because on the 00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:22.640 original vinyl pressings, I know we're talking 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.779 CDs here, but a little aside, did not list that 00:31:25.779 --> 00:31:29.779 on the Abbey Road album. But that said, definitely 00:31:29.779 --> 00:31:34.519 one of the most memorable. So much so, that my 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.619 final track of the night has to be the parody, 00:31:38.779 --> 00:31:43.759 or style parody maybe, of Endless Nameless. That 00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:47.650 appeared... on Weird Al Yankovic's Off the Deep 00:31:47.650 --> 00:31:52.470 End. And it's a track called Bite Me. 10 seconds 00:31:52.470 --> 00:31:56.309 of screaming, bloody murder and noise. And if 00:31:56.309 --> 00:31:59.769 you look it up on YouTube, I highly recommend 00:31:59.769 --> 00:32:04.089 you turn the closed captioning on. You're welcome. 00:32:04.690 --> 00:32:08.089 Yes, this ends the hidden track playlist on a 00:32:08.089 --> 00:32:10.490 little bit of a comedic note, but there's comedy 00:32:10.490 --> 00:32:12.190 kind of throughout some of the songs we've talked 00:32:12.190 --> 00:32:15.119 about tonight. When you bring up things like 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:19.400 All By Myself or Earache My Eye. But this is 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:23.740 pure comedy. This is pure Weird Al. However, 00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:27.700 you need to think about this. Not only did Weird 00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:31.240 Al parody Smells Like Teen Spirit on Smells Like 00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:35.180 Nirvana. He parodied the album cover for Off 00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:39.180 The Deep End. And then he parodied the hidden 00:32:39.180 --> 00:32:43.470 track at the end of Nevermind. Endless Nameless 00:32:43.470 --> 00:32:49.250 as well. It's a trio of parodies done by the 00:32:49.250 --> 00:32:53.329 master of parodies himself. So the fact that 00:32:53.329 --> 00:32:58.109 it was on Weird Al's radar shows just how important 00:32:58.109 --> 00:33:02.809 Endless Nameless was as a hidden track for him 00:33:02.809 --> 00:33:07.690 to even acknowledge it on his album. It's a trio 00:33:07.690 --> 00:33:10.849 of parodies all wrapped in one. The first time 00:33:10.849 --> 00:33:13.910 I heard Bite Me, which came at the end of You 00:33:13.910 --> 00:33:16.950 Don't Love Me Anymore, which was, again, a slower 00:33:16.950 --> 00:33:20.349 song. So again, a total 180, just like Nirvana 00:33:20.349 --> 00:33:24.329 did. To me, that was epic level brilliance in 00:33:24.329 --> 00:33:28.769 terms of comedy. And it was also a hat tip to 00:33:28.769 --> 00:33:32.130 what Nirvana did on Nevermind. So yes, it's a 00:33:32.130 --> 00:33:34.690 one -two punch, and those two play off each other, 00:33:34.809 --> 00:33:37.730 but I could not think of a better way to close 00:33:37.730 --> 00:33:41.410 out this hidden CD tracks of the 90s playlist. 00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:44.599 Now, I see the irony in calling it side A and 00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.619 side B for this episode because we're specifically 00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:49.359 talking about CDs, but, you know, go with it 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.240 for me here. The second half of this playlist 00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:55.200 kicked off with Social Distortions, Under My 00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:58.359 Thumb, followed up by Nine Inch Nails, Physical, 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:03.000 You're So, Deftones, Damone, Nirvana's Endless 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:06.519 Nameless, and Weird Al's Bite Me. Head over to 00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:09.199 myweeklymixtape .com to hear all the songs I've 00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:12.369 discussed in this mix. through the playlist embedded 00:34:12.369 --> 00:34:16.969 on the episode page. Now, I know with 10 songs, 00:34:17.150 --> 00:34:20.869 I am only scratching the surface of the greatest 00:34:20.869 --> 00:34:24.590 hidden CD tracks of the 90s.

I want to know what song 00:34:54.210 --> 00:34:57.630 you think is the greatest hidden CD moment of 00:34:57.630 --> 00:35:00.250 the 90s because I could say with pretty much 00:35:00.250 --> 00:35:02.969 certainty there will be a volume two of this 00:35:02.969 --> 00:35:06.130 episode.

It helps me spread the word 00:35:30.699 --> 00:35:33.400 about My Weekly Mixtape and get the show into 00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:37.139 the ears of other music fans. My name is Brian 00:35:37.139 --> 00:35:40.159 Colburn. This has been My Weekly Mixtape. And 00:35:40.159 --> 00:36:28.349 until next time, enjoy the hidden tunes. You 00:36:28.349 --> 00:36:30.630 really didn't think I was going to do a hidden 00:36:30.630 --> 00:36:35.130 songs of the nineties playlist episode and not 00:36:35.130 --> 00:36:40.230 go full blown meta here and do a hidden podcast 00:36:40.230 --> 00:36:43.949 segment at the end of a podcast. I'm not going 00:36:43.949 --> 00:36:46.610 to say I'm the first one to ever do it, but I 00:36:46.610 --> 00:36:48.449 sure as hell have never heard this done at the 00:36:48.449 --> 00:36:51.309 end of a podcast, especially considering the 00:36:51.309 --> 00:36:55.969 fact I left 30 seconds of silence after the music 00:36:55.969 --> 00:37:00.849 ended. So I have no idea if anybody is ever going 00:37:00.849 --> 00:37:04.610 to hear this part of the episode. So if you do, 00:37:04.750 --> 00:37:09.369 please hit me up, myweeklymixtape at gmail .com 00:37:09.369 --> 00:37:12.730 and let me know you heard it. But I think for 00:37:12.730 --> 00:37:15.349 this part of the episode, I'm going to shout 00:37:15.349 --> 00:37:19.590 out one more hidden CD track. So a hidden CD 00:37:19.590 --> 00:37:23.750 track at the end of a hidden CD track episode. 00:37:24.190 --> 00:37:27.760 And I'm going to go with... Crackers Kerosene 00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:31.239 Hat because they had a trio of hidden tracks, 00:37:31.539 --> 00:37:35.079 but they were spread out because when you first 00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:38.619 dropped the CD of Kerosene Hat into your CD player, 00:37:38.900 --> 00:37:43.539 you were treated to the fact that it had 99 tracks 00:37:43.539 --> 00:37:47.960 on the CD, the highest number you could go at 00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:51.690 the time. Now, mind you, the CD did list 15 tracks 00:37:51.690 --> 00:37:55.590 and it did say 13 and 14 were no songs. So they 00:37:55.590 --> 00:37:58.510 weren't hiding that part of this because tracks 00:37:58.510 --> 00:38:03.070 13 and 14 were indeed no songs. It was just silence. 00:38:03.429 --> 00:38:06.750 So they were being very honest with us. So kudos 00:38:06.750 --> 00:38:10.269 for the honesty. And then track 15 was indeed 00:38:10.269 --> 00:38:13.469 High Desert Biker Meth Lab. So again, Cracker 00:38:13.469 --> 00:38:16.190 was being honest with all of us. I appreciate 00:38:16.190 --> 00:38:20.900 that. However. Then you had from track 16 to 00:38:20.900 --> 00:38:26.840 68, Silence. Just track after track of Silence. 00:38:27.739 --> 00:38:32.139 Followed up by Euro Trash Girl, which was originally 00:38:32.139 --> 00:38:35.400 featured on their Tucson EP, but here just thrown 00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:38.659 on as a hidden track after many, many, many clicks 00:38:38.659 --> 00:38:43.039 of Silence. That came in at, you guessed it, 00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:51.179 track 69. 17 tracks of silence before i ride 00:38:51.179 --> 00:38:56.599 my bike at track 88 followed by another 10 tracks 00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:59.340 of silence before the final track on kerosene 00:38:59.340 --> 00:39:03.019 hat that being the acoustic version of the title 00:39:03.019 --> 00:39:06.699 track now when you look this album up on streaming 00:39:06.699 --> 00:39:10.579 high desert biker meth lab is not track 15 it's 00:39:10.579 --> 00:39:15.250 track 13. So the no songs at 13 and 14 just disappear 00:39:15.250 --> 00:39:17.469 on the streaming version. They're gone, even 00:39:17.469 --> 00:39:19.070 though they weren't there in the first place. 00:39:19.110 --> 00:39:23.110 But I digress. Euro Trash Girl is not track 69. 00:39:23.190 --> 00:39:27.570 It's track 14. I Ride My Bike is not track 88. 00:39:27.789 --> 00:39:31.409 It's track 15. And the acoustic version of Kerosene 00:39:31.409 --> 00:39:40.599 Hat is not track 99. It's track 16. So... All 00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:44.179 the fun taken away on streaming CDs for the win. 00:39:44.420 --> 00:39:46.739 Thank you guys for listening. My name is Brian 00:39:46.739 --> 00:39:48.179 Colburn and we'll see you next week.
