Note sull'episodio

Intro

Physical space for CDs

Class action lawsuits

The new SLEEP album

Most bands that have been together for 40 years are incapable of making 10 more good records

Long running band discographies, and enjoying it as a whole

The new Mike D album

Return to the "Best Rapper/artist that became an actor" - LL Cool J

Working at the movie theater when Deep Blue Sea was in the theater

Soundtrack to movies that the artist does the song(s)

One-track/Cassette singles

Bone Thugs and Harmony

The phrases "Back East", "mid-west", "over the pond", "on the coast" sound ridiculous

The new Mike D album continued

Released on a cool looking cassette

Cassette tapes in-general

Making compilation tapes/CDs for people

The first Bruce Springsteen album

Shoutout to SP!

10 years ago we went to see SWANS at Crescent Ballroom

Seeing SWANS live... and the "noise rock/art" genre

Some of the best bands, who made the best songs, never made it out of the "local scene"

New CZARFACE/Frankie Pulitzer album

Is good, but doesn't get extra notoriety because of Tom Hardy being involved

Do you trust your Social Media algorithm?

Metallica tour with Limp Biscuit and AVATAR

The 90s resurgence

Metal heads are the nicest/sweetest people of any music scene

Algorithm continued...

Jerry Zhao and other social media personas and "brainrot"

Controlling the social media addiction

Putting the podcast into the algorithm by interacting more

Development of our podcast and who it's for and how it will spread

"We're not all famous, and we're not all talented."

Over 78% of podcasts don't get past 7 episodes

Personal social media page vs the podcast page

"Posts" vs "Content"

Getting older and understanding what came from your formative years

What is even considered, or how do you say what is, "new music"?

"Professional Musician" as a career

Going to see a huge stadium show/festival isn't something we would want to do now

Getting knocked out in the pit at Slayer

Meeting people in Phoenix you ask "where are you from?" which is mostly unique to Phoenix

Downtown Phoenix is such a hassle

It has to be a special occasion to go out to a show nowadays that we're old

Live music is the best way to consume music.
