I think you got something against John Lennon. I get that feeling. I was never a big fan of John Lennon. I think he's fucking. He was a Paul McCartney protege, if you ask me.
Mark:I'd say he put out his Beatles stuff.
Scott:I think His Beatles stuff is great, but his solo shit showed that he's shit.
Mark:Okay, I love Mind.
Scott:Games. I love Mind Games. Right, the singles are good, Scott.
Mark:The singles are good yeah, revolution mind games.
Scott:Right, it's, the singles are good. Scott, it's, the singles are good. Yeah, yeah, uh, revolution number nine. I love that song. You know he had some good day in the life but he wasn't as far as on his own. He wasn't fucking fantastic, he wasn't fabulous. Paul mccartney was like fucking boom, you know, like hit after hit after hit, and we, we talked about that a few weeks ago, I think.
Mark:And if they weren't hits, just his music alone. I mean, like he did, paul didn't really need the Beatles in a lot of ways. No Well he proved that, didn't he? Yeah, yeah, I mean I think he loved the Beatles. Obviously, paul loved being a Beatle, but I think Lennon's moments, like I said, lennon's Lennon without McCartney, like I think it's been proven but I'm going to go.
Mark:If you look at Lennon's highlights, so strawberry fields a day in the life, but he was with the Beatles. I mean some of that stuff is is up there with everything the best of McCartney did was but like after the Beatles, like. I think In Sink Calm is a much better song than Imagine. I mean Right.
Lou:And then when he did Double Fantasy, he had Jack Douglas to help produce, which he was a really good producer, and that's how he put out some quality work with that album.
Mark:Yeah, he was also writing the kind of songs he made fun of. Paul for five or so years. Yeah, yeah true, good point.
Scott:Bob Dissen says might as well listen to Yoko hey Perry Denovich, the AI, speaking of AI Perry is no chat GPT. I'll just tell you that. You know that now he's got just a leg up. Chat GPT has just a leg up on him. But he says, let it be. There's multiple versions of the song. I agree, let it be. And I'm not a big fan of that song either.
Scott:Scott, people know here that you were on Music Relish show recently no, they did not know that I hacked into the Music Relish show one Sunday night and you tried to take it over as usual.
Lou:First thing you said put me on top, put me on top.
Scott:I did not like the square that I was in. I have a phobia against that now and I didn't like the way that lou and mark treated me, because it was like now you're on our home court and we can tell you, and we can put you, and they, they, again, they, they made me feel unwanted and I and perry was the only one that stuck up for me, it's true your chair was getting lower through the whole segment.
Lou:You were just going lower and lower and lower.
Mark:There was a conspiracy about you getting on. All of a sudden, boom, you pop in.
Scott:I just popped in right at the time for trivia and I proved that I know stuff. I know things.
Mark:I think you and Perry set those questions up beforehand, but you acquitted yourself real well, okay.
Scott:All right yourself real well, okay all right back to the show.
Lou:Back to the show.
Scott:Yeah, I was on the music relation. Go listen to it, you should come back. There'll be times. I'll try to. I'll try to break in you know, I'm a busy now. I'm a busy man now running the one man, one mic foundation. I am killing it and uh yeah, and my vets connectionion podcast which is keeping me busy. I got interviews and I got still working with Herd Foundation and I'm just a busy guy. That's my regular life. But you know what never gets in the way, it doesn't get in the way of this.
Lou:That's true, I was the late one tonight, yeah never gets in the way of milk crates.
Scott:Nothing gets in the way of milk crates and turntables Nothing. And I'm teaching a course Last week something got in the way.
Lou:Yeah, yeah, kids what?
Scott:the fuck was that? Your balls just fell off, my nuts just fell out. Get this thing. It's important. This is one of those little adapters when you're changing the microphones out.
Lou:Yeah, I don't want to lose that when you need it.
Scott:You'll be like Alright, back to the show. Mark, you make the call American Pie, american Pie. Or my brother says big ego, scott, bob Doucette, you're welcome. He says congrats, man so proud of you. Take care of our vets. I'm doing my best, my friend. I'm doing my best. Let me see, perry, did it's the AIs? And Scott, you're good right, because I broke in. I broke in. Alright, mark, american Pie or Take it Easy by the Eagles.
Lou:Kind of tired of both of them. I'm going to go with American Pie only on the lyrics, great lyrics. But if I never hear Take it Easy by the Eagles again, I won't be sad. I like it by Jackson Brown. Yeah, I'm going with American Pie.
Mark:Lou, I'm going to go with the Eagles. I do think it's a very well-written song. I like Jackson Brown's version too. In fact that's the only Jackson Brown album. I like the second album Right now, but I think they coined a phrase. That song I remember in the seventies older siblings they take it easy, take it easy. I mean it, it, it's part of the lexicon. Yeah, and I also, I, I, you know, it's oddly enough, I.
Scott:I think I should be tired of hearing it, but I'm not so right, that's me list of of, you know of competition songs that I don't like. Because that I'm not fond of, I can't say I don't like them, I'm not. I'm not fond of a lot of these songs. It's just because and I have to agree with lou, I gotta go with, take it easy. Uh, american pie, a great song, but just way I lost my taste for american pie, you know, decades ago it's a long song and you get tired of it Cause it's like you got to listen to the whole thing.
Lou:You know, yeah, my, my, my stepdaughter.
Scott:Amanda went on this kick of you know they just you know kids discover this music like and we'd be driving somewhere and she'd be like can you put on American pie?
Mark:I'm like fuck, but you got to do it right yeah, well, I think, also because you know my son the same thing they heard about it. They've heard it. You know it's a long song. It's known for something. Um yeah, but I think it's more stuck in its time than for me. Then take it easy, yeah it seems kind of timeless to me. I don't know. Yep, I'm not. I'm not an eaglesater, no, no.
Scott:No, all right, mark, you make the call. Yeah, big 70s hits, edition Roxanne or Boston. More Than a Feeling.
Lou:You know what? This is a different time in my life. I'm going to go with More Than a Feeling, because I am loving that song again. It's a summer song. I can smell the leaded gas.
Scott:I can hear the Corvette screeching down the street more than the feeling good descriptions, good descriptions.
Mark:Yeah, lou roxanne eddie murphy version um good, a good version, a good version. I like things. Uh, what's it with the? What was that show they did in England? He did the acoustic.
Scott:The Secret.
Mark:Policeman's Other Ball. Yes, thank you, scott. Also, I love the police. See, I know stuff.
Scott:I know things.
Mark:God knows things, I know things, he knows things, you guys aren't that dominant over me.
Scott:You don't, I don't know, I know stuff, you know stuff, yes, ah, this is a tough one for me because I actually I had a rebirth with more than a feeling like years ago, and it's all of a sudden I just, growing up in Boston, it's like really. Because growing up in Boston, it's like really, you guys listen to it a lot, but we listen to it way too much.
Lou:And it straddled AM and FM. It was on both.
Scott:You'd hear it on AM radio and FM radio. Oof, and I have fond memories of both songs.
Lou:Me too.
Scott:Me too, gotta go with Roxanne Better drumming. I ate by the width of a dime or the thickness of a dime. It's like Now you, mark, you got in my head about pegging a memory to a song. It was just a really good time, roxanne was just a really fucking great time.
Lou:Wait a second. It's about a prostitute. What kind of memory does it give you?
Mark:I a friend of the working girl.
Scott:I was I was in the philippines not in the 70s though no, in the 80s, but you know just. But I didn't indulge, I was a good boy, I was a good watch, and we'll leave it at that. Next, next one. Did you hear what Lou said? What did he say? You just watched, yeah.
Lou:Oh, that's so disturbing, oh boy.
Scott:You know certain things, my brain tells me don't bring it up. But I'm turboed coffee, it just takes over and I can't. No, this one is kind of easy. This might be an easy. I think this is the easiest one we've ever done. Chatgpt decided to match these two songs against each other. Don't Stop Till you Get Enough. Michael Jackson or the All the Rage Kung Fu Fighting by Kyle Douglas. How could they think that that was even a match?
Scott:MJ, baby, I was going to change it but I said, no, I'm going to leave it there because it's so stupid.
Mark:It's not human.
Scott:We can't even argue over that. I'm just going to go around and say you're all picking, don't?
Lou:stop. You know what Next week go back to you. You do better.

Scott:Everybody had that fucking orange shit. Smoke on the water Tough, but smoke on the water. Patty says okay.
Mark:Lou.
Scott:Just for the hi-hat work alone. Smoke on the water. Yeah, I gotta go with smoke on the water just because it's the greatest live song ever recorded. Yes, and I want someone to argue with me about that that.
Mark:That is a great point I never thought about that greatest live song ever recorded.
Lou:Yes, yes, they captured lightning in a bottle.
Scott:It's the greatest live album ever. Is it better than Baby? I Love your Way. It's way better than that, but that was studio. Remember Smokin'? I mean Made in Japan was not studio.
Lou:Totally wrong.
Scott:There was no overdubs, there was no studio shit. Nope, and Frampton's was highly overdubbed.
Mark:What was it? They all worked actually, Most of them were, but Deep Purple managed to not have to be live.
Scott:They were like 50% live. That's about it, those albums. Because, of the attitudeness All right, good ones. That was an okay one. That was an okay match, all right.
Lou:But we had too many easy ones. That's why, when you do it, it's really hard.
Scott:Yeah, I'll shake it up again next week. The AI is still flawed at this point. It has not replaced us. It has not replaced my. You make the calls. All right, mark, you're just going to start off, we're going to just give the top 10, and then we'll pick it up after that. Top 10 songs that are turning 30 years old this year.

Lou:I went like this 2024 to 2014. 2004.
Scott:Big Head, todd the Wet Sprocket. He counts on his knuckles Because he walks around with his knuckles like a monkey, like a gorilla, his fingers are constantly curled in, they just hang down by his side and he's this dude that walks. You ever see someone walk with the backs of their hands facing forward?

Yeah, let's calm him down a little bit. Penalty box, let's calm him down. Wasn't Milky the guy, me myself and Irene? I don't know, I don't remember that movie.
Scott:I didn't see that alright, here we go, my first pick for some of the best songs of 1984. When doves cry yes, smash, smash, smash it totally. Then, like a virgin, came out in 1984 another smash. You look at these you're like, why is music not like this today? Like it's just fucking amazing.
Mark:But no, are you picking your favorite?
Scott:no, I just. I just picked 40 songs there's so many good songs, okay, you know. So I'm just like they're all good they were. All you get to list 40 songs uh, we're gonna do 10, 10, 10, and then until I get sick of it, and then oh yeah I didn't know. I thought it was just 10 each. Now you know, okay, I just thank God, I didn't have you do 20.
Mark:We'd still be fucking Jesus. Bob Doucette said this was fun, but those last five minutes. All right yeah that's right, alive in it up jump came out in 1984 right, the album 1984.
Scott:Yeah, the point is uh, this is. This is one of those songs I'm 50 50 on. Uh, I want to know what love is came out in 1984 I like that song.
Mark:Yeah, I'm not a sucker. I'm not a sucker for power balance. Yeah, I do.
Scott:I do like that one it's yeah, I mean it's it's foreigner right it is foreigner, but it's also. It's not unsoleful it's foreigners, a hard band to not like. I don't have to not like all. I mean I might not like all the songs. Sure I don't dislike foreigner. You know I don't either. I don't have to not like all. I mean I might not like all the songs.
Mark:Sure I don't dislike foreigner you know, I don't either, I don't they're pretty consistent.
Scott:Yeah, they stay right in that that area of they. They know their lane and they stay in it.
Lou:Yes, yes, they never really risk, they never know, no, they're good, just good, solid music across the board.
Scott:Great, of course, great vocalists.
Mark:So yeah, that always goes. They never did anything that wasn't inappropriate to them. But even like that song, I Wonder what Love Is. And Urgent, those were departures for them. Yeah.
Scott:Jukebox Hero was kind of a. That whole little beginning of the 80s thing. They really did a kind of a. They went for broke to get sold.
Lou:Yeah.
Scott:Makeover. Let's see Ghostbusters, the absolute total rip-off of Huey Lewis and the News I want a new drug. You know what they do. I swear this is. They just do it. They're like we're going to get the money anyways. Let's get the fucking money. We're going to make money.
Mark:There was a settlement.
Scott:Yeah, but they got to keep a lot of that money too.
Mark:I'm pretty sure, oh sure, I think Ray Parker Jr. That's the second time that happened to him. Ray Parker Jr got a cut. I think that one song by Leo Serre you Make Me Feel Like Dancing. Maybe Ray Parker Jr goes. I was in there writing the song with him and he said he got iced out of it.
Scott:I wouldn't be surprised. But I don't think he had anything to do with Huey Lewis and the News, did he? No, he wrote Ghostbusters. He wrote Ghostbusters, but it was after.
Mark:Huey Lewis and the News. I think Ghostbusters came first.
Scott:Huey Lewis and the News sued him. I thought it was the other way around.
Lou:No, I Wanted a Drug came out on January 3rd 1984, right at the beginning of the year, yeah, yeah.
Scott:And I knew they were told don't do it. I believe they were told don't do it, but they went ahead and said fuck it, and the movie took it to another level of money.
Mark:Who are you going to call?
Scott:Well, there's this 80s classic and you can't deny it. I don't care who you are, you cannot deny this fucking song is not an 80s absolute classic. Wake me up before you go-go. I don't care if you like it or not, you cannot deny it. Do the jitterbug, do the jitterbug, jitterbug Right? Whoever made that video is like this is going to be so over the top, like gay, that people it's people are going to hate it so much they're going to love it. I think billy squire should, you can't stop watching it type thing.
Scott:When you you first watch, you like am I really watching this?
Mark:this is your face but yeah, I, I understand the fact that, the fact that the song itself made it okay. Then, you know, like you know, we talked, talked about some and the only we were young men in the early 80s and stuff like that. You know, we've changed, things have changed since then but a song like that you know you're watching guys in shorts, you know what I mean but like, yeah, it didn't matter because the song was that actually that catchy and so, and if you're not too uptight about yourself and other things, did you ever did you ever get to watch the?
Scott:did you ever watch the documentary? I have, no, I have not. I don't watch it. Man, I'm telling you I will, you'll have a whole new perspective. Yeah, on that whole thing, it's, it's a, it's a. It's not a documentary. In a sense it's a uh, a docudrama about those. You know those right right, but it's all. You know true stories, but what is?
Mark:that it's on killer's whisper. The is the song Killer's Whisper. The minute I heard that song I'm like smash hit, smash hit, yeah. And if something's well-written and well-played it doesn't matter what's what.
Scott:Yeah, ask AI to have Jim Morrison sing. Wake Me Up Before you Go-Go, wake me up before you go. I don't think they can change songs up yet, but that's probably in the future. Uh, let's see, I hated this song. Well, you know it wasn't their worst song together. But um, say, say, say. Paul mccartney and michael jackson yeah, lame what? Yeah, it was lame, but it wasn't their worst song together. It's better than Ebony and Ivory. It's better than Ebony and Ivory.
Mark:Yeah, and the Dogon Girl is mine.
Scott:Yeah, way better than that. Yep and Casey Kasem will call up and say God damn, girl is mine, she's mine, michael. All right, dave Phillips, king of the 45s, nice show boys. Time to watch Drake. Man, go get him buddy. I'll watch the highlights, because nothing gets in the way of milk crates. All right, let me see, I got number nine. I hate this fucking song. I never even saw the movie Footloose, but it was a huge hit. Good move.
Mark:The song and the big fucking hits.
Lou:Big hits. John Lithgow is the pastor of that small town. He was very good in that role. All right, this one.
Scott:I saw a meme and it was the funniest, one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's a picture on a telephone pole, stapled to a telephone pole, right, you know, with that when they lost Kat, right, and it has the little cutouts right at the bottom where you just tear it off and it's a picture of lionel richie and it says hello, is it me you're looking for? It was the funniest fucking thing, probably.
Scott:I was like this is fucking great, that is genius and he's got that look with the big eyes, like you know yeah hello, is it me you're looking, stapled to a telephone pole and he's wearing a nice sweater. Yeah, with the little tear off things, the little tabs at the bottom, the little fringe things that cut them, they cut it and you just tear one off With a phone number on it.
Scott:Yeah, Then I saw another one. I saw another one and it says have you seen this man? And it's a picture of a ninja in black. And it says you probably haven't, because if you did, you'd be dead right now.
Mark:I was in a grocery store and the coffee tl. There's a picture of london hill that says hello, is it tea you're looking for?
Scott:great, that's great. Yeah, that's my 10. All right, let's see, let's hit 10 songs that have turned in 50 this year from the year 1974.
Mark:Wow, okay, so I went. I went with the uh, the billboard top 100. These weren't necessarily the number one.
Scott:It's whatever they are, yeah.
Mark:So the number one song of the year was the Way we Were by Barbra Streisand. Oh yeah, now when I read that this was Johnny Yoko's favorite song.
Scott:I kind of lost respect for him.
Mark:He was a pussy. I was like, wow, he's the king of the beta males that motherfucker. Maybe that's why was it Mark David Chapman? He felt inspired to kill him unjustly, of course, because he felt he became this sellout. Yeah.
Scott:I'm the king of the beta males. I'm not going to comment on that. Mark is the king of the beta males. No, he's not. He's no. John Lennon, mark's no.
Mark:John Lennon, mark's, no, john Lennon. Okay, the number two song of the year and this is appalling. This offends everything. It's horrible. Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jackson.
Lou:You can't deny it, though.
Mark:You can't deny it no because it was a huge hit. That was taken from the 1961 French song Les Morts Bondes, which means the Dying man, and this is how depressing that fucking song is Down, down, down, down.

Scott:Yeah, you know that that was the theme for soul train, right? Yes, yes, don cornelius. I saw a documentary on him and he said the one regret he had was not buying the rights to that song he was was like, yeah, it's good but he bought the rights to everything but that song it's so related to. It is Soul Train right.
Mark:It is Soul Train.
Scott:But he never bought the rights to it. He was like he didn't think it was going to be that big. Well, huge.
Mark:It was. It's a signature Total signature yeah. Total signature. Yeah, cool, now you know the Streak I mentioned. The Streak was the eighth song of the year, ray Stevens. I mean that was a bigger hit than Everything is Beautiful. Right, the Streak hit number one, but you know it was a novelty song.

Lou:See when you're in a mastering studio with big Do the duck and do the roll, everybody touchy roll. When you're in a mastering studio with the big speakers, it's ground shaking. I guess yeah, well, I'll never be that so song that I wasn't crazy of aerosmith in the 90s but crazy that came out.
Scott:That was a good ballad well, I think, uh, alicia silverstone in those videos really gave it a big boost, because, oh yeah, he was not bad to look at back then with his daughter good looking woman I suppose she's like kissing his daughter live in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think the videos carried that a little bit. A lot maybe. Loser Beck yeah, good song. I don't like the direction he went in after that, but that's a good song I like Sea.
Lou:Change. I like that record, sea Change. Yeah, that was a good album. Very mellow, very mellow. An album that Blue Note Records, a jazz label, made a ton of money off of Candleoupe from Flip Fantasia, remember that I just downloaded that and added to my finely manicured playlist.
Scott:I added just the, not the vocals, the instrumental Ah, that's nice, it is, it's good, it's fucking nice.
Lou:And think about it. Cantaloupe Island by by herbie hancock was on blue note records. I'm sure they sold to pay herbie no but the original song they sample is cantaloupe island oh, there you go. I stand corrected, my friend, and it was a blue note recording, so I'm sure herbie got money out of it. But blue note reaped the real rewards. That's why their own releases.
Scott:Don't ever correct me again, by the way.
Lou:You're wrong.
Scott:Who's there?
Mark:Cantaloupe, cantaloupe, who Cantaloupe? Tonight Dad's got the car.

Purple Rain Came out in 84, naturally Owner of the Lonely Heart, yes's little voyeur into the 80s. Yep, all right, let me see I can dream about you. Oh God, Do you ever see Streets of Fire? Do you ever see the movie Diane Lane? Right, yeah, and Willem Dafoe, michael Perry, and the acting is so bad that you can't stop watching the movies. Yeah, I hated it. But then when I saw it in the theater, I'm like this is a horrible movie. Right, just the acting and the writing and the way it was directed. But it's got that dark overtone to it.
Scott:Yeah, like a comic then as time went on, I'd watch it. I go, you know what? This is really one of those so bad, it's good movies. It's like wake me up before you go, go. Yeah, it's just so bad, it's good movies. It's like Wake Me Up Before you Go-Go. Yeah, it's just so bad, it's good. Let's see, I'll Wait. By Van Halen. That was a good song, yep, yep. One of the little less played.
Lou:It's more of an album rock, but it was a single. And.
Mark:I think a pretty shitty recording. Oh, the keyboards are all distorted on it.
Scott:Yeah, why do you think that was? Why do you think that?
Mark:I don't think it was well produced or recorded.
Lou:That was the first album to be recorded at 5150. Were they ready to?
Scott:just let it go, and they were on their way after that. It was just like let's just get this done.
Mark:And ride the wave out that's that really you think so? They toured behind that record, but that was the last thing. And that tour my brother saw him on that tour and it was shit. They saw a shit show because of David Lee Roth yeah it was a shit show.
Scott:I hate this fucking song Red Red Wine UB40, but it was a big. It was a shit show. I hate this fucking song Red Red Wine UB40, but it was a big hit. It was a big hit. Yeah, yep, this song, I didn't know, I thought this was for some reason. I thought this was like a little earlier. Love is a Battlefield, pat Benatar.
Lou:Yeah.
Scott:I thought it was earlier than 84, but no, 84, it was Duran Duran the Wild Boys, wild Boys, yep, probably I don't know one of the worst people to ever come out of Hollywood to try to make music. Eddie, oh no, that's Eddie Money. I was thinking Eddie Murphy. Did Eddie Money sing Romancing the Stone?
Mark:No, no, that was Eddie Grant yeah it was Eddie Grant.
Scott:Yeah, that's fucking. Stop using chat. Gtv. What the?
Mark:fuck Wow you got to tell your research staff to get with it. I know Pay them good money. Sit out the bottom of the bed. It was Eddie Kendricks.
Scott:Keep on talking, baby, it's in the stone. Eddie Kendricks See, only people that really know music get that joke. That's one of those. Only people that really know music, get that joke.
Lou:It's not a joke.
Scott:He's the last person that would sing that fucking song Rock you Like a Hurricane, one of the classic 80s heavy.
Mark:I thought that was earlier, that was 84. Wow, I was a freshman when that album came out. I like the Scorpions. I thought they were a good heavy metal, pop, hard rock band.
Lou:I saw them on that tour Wow Joe.
Scott:Alright, that's my ten. Let's get Lou and then we'll kind of maybe, if we get time, we'll do another one. Oh, we still got to review the Tubes album.
Lou:Oh yeah, lou better have done his homework.
Mark:I did some.
Lou:I did.
Mark:I was in the second song. It's all you had to listen to Other songs from 1974. Jungle Boogie by colin the gang when they were funky rock on by david essex hey kids, that was a good, that's still a good song there's a good song. That was a big song too. James dean um hooked on a Feeling by Blue Swede.
Scott:I'm Hooked on a feeling.
Lou:Right, didn't know who that was.
Mark:Blue Swede, blue Swede. Let's say something here. That's not working. They were Swedish. I thought they were Dutch. No, he left.
Lou:That's not working. They were Swedish, I thought they were Dutch, I thought they were no he left.
Mark:Who would have thought they were no he left. I always thought they were called Blue Suede, but they weren't. It was Blue Suede. So if you're from Sweden, you're a Swede, right, okay? So how about Billy Don't Be a Hero by Bo bo donaldson and the haywoods?
Scott:yeah, didn't we just have that song came up in an episode recently, I think, like on some bad cheese probably.
Mark:Uh, charlie rich, the most beautiful girl. Hey, I like that song. Have you, here's a silver fox, uh, sundown by gordon lightfoot I'm surprised.
Scott:I'm surprised that a hip hop band or rapper didn't this hip hop group they don't have a man Didn't try to take that that rhythm and do something. Yeah.
Lou:You know, you never know. There's a lot of rap that we have that we haven't heard.
Mark:Yeah, and speaking of eddie kendrick's boogie down, boogie down, baby, yeah, yeah, good year good year uh, nothing from nothing. By billy preston. Yeah, rock your baby. By george mccray. John lennon said he wish he could write a song like that he goes, I can't write song. He goes, I'm too into. He said he wished he could write a song like that he goes, I can't write songs. He said he was too intellectual, which is probably why a lot of his solo stuff sounded like it sucked Lou Lou Lou.
Lou:Don't make Scott hate him even more, just stop Stop.
Mark:No, I agree. I'm just saying, after all these years and all these retrospectives, I mean we're all of a certain age and all being bombarded with that music. When you look back I'm like I've listened to those albums. I'm like even the production phil specter is 70s stuff for me.
Lou:What makes his stuff the most unlistenable of all their solo stuff is the production. For me, even imagine those drums sound like shit yeah, that all.
Mark:It doesn't sound good yeah but yeah, the joker, steve miller man, that was the 40th biggest song over here. Yeah, the puppets is a love. I rocked the boat by hughes corporations. There were a lot of disco songs like yeah, it's kind of the beginning of it, right, the beginning of it, yeah, you know kind of those beats and rhythms, so yeah. And living for the city by stevie wonder, so ah, yeah oh, that's right there, man, that's the gem.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, that is the gem right there. That's his. I think that's his greatest. That's the jam. Yeah, yeah, that is the jam right there. I think that's his greatest. That's my favorite, stevie Wonder song.
Mark:What a drum track. Okay, okay, yeah.
Scott:It's one of my favorite songs of all time actually it's so great.
Mark:The lyrics are just I mean, it's a, it's like two different songs.
Scott:Once that break happens in the middle with the, you know, wow, New York City. Just Once that break happens in the middle with the, you know, wow, New York City. Just like I pictured it.
Mark:Skyscrapers and everything, yeah, and the WNEW and the radio station in New York used to sample that. They did all these New York things. They used to do a que paso New York, oh yeah. But, then that voiceover came in from New York City, just like I pictured it Skyscrapers and everything. Then I say the city's so nice you had to flush it twice.
Lou:They still didn't get rid of all this shit, that was a late seven. I disagree. It's a beautiful. I drove my ass down there two weeks ago see a show. I walked around by myself, not one gunshot not one drunk throwing up in the sidewalks.
Mark:It was good. Do you guys remember in the late 70s New York City with the garbage strike?
Lou:Oh yeah, All you smelled was piss.
Scott:It's never smelled the same since there was rats in the eyes of dachshunds. Will you just shut up now? Anyway, anyway, let's move on. Okay, I've been touting this since the first episode of let's move on. Okay, I've been touting this since the first episode of Milk, crates and Turntables. One of the greatest side twos in the history of music is the Tubes debut album. It's so different than the first, than side one. Yes, it's five songs on it, but they're all. It's just such a dynamic sound. It's so different. Even today. I mean, I don't think they were ever as good as they were on their first album. You know they had those hits in the 80s. She's a Beauty and you know what was the other one. Talk to you later. Talk to you later. Yeah, I actually love that song. Yeah.
Lou:Old Stone with Steve.
Mark:Lucas, it's a great song, that's right, that's right.
Scott:So what are your thoughts? Mark, we'll start with you On side two of the Tubes, which, first of all, one of the best album covers too, oh yeah.
Lou:So A&M had Rick Wakeman on their label so I used to play my A&M, my Rick Wakeman albums and the Intersleeves would always have pictures of albums on A&M, my Rick Wakeman albums. And you know, the Intersleeves would always have like pictures of albums on A&M and I always saw those Tubes album covers. I'm like what the hell? It's so weird looking, you know, yeah, yeah. So anyway, I listened to it and I'm going to say for me it's prog, it really is progressive to me and if you don't mind, can I just play you 10 seconds or something? This to me predates Kansas. Listen, wait, didn't turn out that's Journey from Mariobron, kansas. Like that same, like it's. It's great, right keyboards got me um, it sounds fresh, it sounds new, it doesn't sound like something from 74 and the kids can dance to it.
Lou:I danced I danced to mondo bondage yeah, mondo bondage yeah it's a little fucked up, yeah sure um, I I still can't believe that that's vince welnick on keyboard, who played with the grateful dead their final years. That's amazing like he's a really versatile player. He did all those keyboard sounds and he became jerry's best friend, you know what?
Mark:the tubes of bay area ben.
Lou:Yeah, yeah, yeah there we go yeah, yeah, there you go, it's a outrageous stage show too, by the way.
Scott:From what I, I didn't get to see them, but I've seen a um what's his name?
Lou:with the high heels Quay Lude, oh shit.
Scott:Quay Lude Fucking. The high is going to be. Those are going to be like two feet tall those things and he walked on those things.
Mark:And you can have a good back later on in life if you do that, yeah.
Scott:If you want to know what we're talking about to the listeners, even the people that are watching, just go to Google or go to DuckDuckGo I don't really use Google and type in the tubes Quay, Q-U-A-Y, Lude, L-U-D-E. It's this character that Fee Wabel created. Do it under Google Images. Yeah, I mean, I don't know how he moved around on those things, man.
Lou:What I like, though, is each song was distinct from each other. Yeah, so you have four distinctly separate songs. I enjoyed them all the first time I heard them. What Do you Want From Life? Great lyrics, I love the end part. You know, I did know White Punk's on dope, yeah, boy Crazy, all those songs, it's just yeah, yeah, I see what you mean it's a debut album and they were fresh in a way that I've listened to all the other albums and they I was.
Lou:I went and did a deep dive and they had good albums after that, but nothing beats that.
Scott:But it's so, it's so different from side one. Yeah, that's what I noticed. I'm like this is like two different albums. Right, that was heavy, like side two, they're heavy and it's just got just more to it. Yeah, side one.
Lou:You know, I don't know I agree with you when you kept telling me that the best side two. I agree with you.
Scott:It's a great side too, if you take it like per album, not like it's better than a led zeppelin album, right, but it's one of those songs where it's just the side two is the only thing I listen to. Yeah, yeah lou after.
Mark:Upon listening to it, I I realized I'd heard quite a few of the songs before, especially the part a gucci shoot you. Maybe you are holding an apple you know, um, I I started. There's eight songs on the album so I started halfway through. So the first song, the spanish-speaking song, I'm like okay, like I have, I have a certain arm's length that I call art rock, so I thought that song had a lot of art rock pretensions yeah um, but not not uncatchy, not unlistenable, but the rest of it I really liked.
Mark:I was saying the same thing, mark. I said a point. I said this is kind of proggy sounding because they were known for playing with accomplished drummers Prairie Prince, prairie Prince, you know, and I'm Pat Mussolato from. He's a session guy, but he was in Mr Mr, but that don't define him King. Crimson, of course, yeah, but I also. When I looked at it, it was that album was produced by Al Cooper, that's weird so.
Mark:Al Cooper. Now, this guy, this guy, he's an extremely musical man. If you know his whole background, you know Scott, you know a lot about him, right?
Scott:Not a lot, but I know about him.
Mark:His first thing was he's the guy that bullshit his way onto the Dylan session for like a Rolling Stone.
Scott:And he didn't know how to play the keyboard.
Mark:He played the keyboard, he didn't know how. No, he fucked his way through and he became a keyboard player of of sound. He, he invented a sound. Well, they discovered it and dylan was like I like it and he said the reason he got through if you listen to it, he goes. The keyboard is a little bit behind the music because he was watching dylan's hands going a, d, b, flat, whatever. So he's an extremely musical guy. So the guy has ears, like guys like that, his ears, so he, you know he also. He started blood, sweat and tears. That was his band. He's an extremely musical guy. The guy has ears. He started Blood, sweat and Tears. That was his band. After one album they threw him out of the band and got David Clayton Thomas the rest of his history. He also produced the first three Leonard Skinner records.
Lou:He discovered them.
Mark:He discovered them. Upon listening, I said the musicianship is good. It's interesting. I'll have to listen to side one if I've not already heard it through the years and not knowing what it was, to compare the two sides. But I thought it was interesting. I like it. There's nothing on side one that I like to compare it to.
Mark:Yeah, but I got a good few few way little story yeah, go ahead okay, sometime in the mid 90s I was working someplace and one of my district managers was a big tubes fan and not long before that he went to see them at some casino. He goes, him and his wife randomly pull into a parking spot. They get out, they're parked next to some car. Oh, like a right average car, nothing special, it's fee, weebill sitting in it passed out nice the, the tubes are playing at this casino and he gets out like.
Lou:What year?
Mark:was this. Well, he told me the story like 95. Oh shit, so it was sometime after the 80s hit heyday, but it was like, wow, it's a rock and roll story, yeah, but basically squinting in the sunlight type of thing With the windows rolled up, it's probably hot as hell in that car. Rock and roll man.
Scott:Play in the casinos right Early on too.
Mark:That was before. It was like kind of a. You know, Elvis played casinos, so it wasn't hip up until certain bands did it. You know, going to Vegas, Lenox City, yeah. You got the sphere.
Scott:Fee Wable 73. Wow, Wow.
Lou:Jesus. He had a good career as a songwriter after the Tubes broke up. He helped write a bunch of Richard Mark songs. You know he was successful.
Mark:Yeah, so he wrote some crap after the Tubes.
Lou:Yeah.
Mark:He got some checks.
Scott:Good for him, man he's net worth is six million dollars that's not a whole lot considering and it's good you know.
Mark:Think about it.
Scott:Music is not something most people are the tubes didn't age well, like they didn't carry over into the next, like the 90s or the aughts you know. Yeah, it's just. You know she's a beauty and those are 80s songs. They didn't have that. So you know he gets royalties and I'm sure you know these Spotify, because just the fact side two starts off.
Lou:Let's see Lando Bondage. Yeah, but I don't know why it's not One of my favorite songs. It's become one of my favorite songs. I blasted it on the way to work, let's see, do you want me to? Play it for you.
Scott:I got it. I got it right here.
Mark:I listened to the last song of Side 1.
Lou:Then it's Malaguena, yeah that was the last of Side 1. It's aaguena Salorosa. Yeah, that was the last to decide one. It's a traditional song.
Mark:I thought that was. I thought it was a Spotify. Yeah, why?
Lou:is he?
Scott:singing. All right, play it, Monty.
Lou:That's it. Yeah, what's that? Yeah, we heard it. We could hear it. You could hear it on mine. Yeah, we heard the Mondo Bondage. You played the beginning of it. How come?
Scott:I'm not hearing it. That's strange. Oh, you know why? Probably because of this Tell your tech over there to continue on.
Lou:Let's see.
Scott:Let me try this again. Okay, yeah, there you go. Yeah, my tech's not. That's such a great groove man. I texted on it. That's such a great groove man.
Lou:Yeah Right, such a great groove and you know what that little thing I played you. That sounded like Kansas. That's from the same song. The song changes. It's like total time signatures. It's heavy yeah.
Scott:It's heavy, yeah, yeah, and then it gets light, right, yeah. What do you want from life?
Lou:a little light.
Scott:Right, it's a music song. It's, you know, still good, though probably one of the reasons I like this because it's heavy like synth organ.
Lou:You know what the beginning reminded me of? What's that. That Beastie Boys song Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Scott:Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It kind of reminded me of that, and then it kicks into Gets a little heavier.
Lou:Boy Crazy, yep gets a little heavier boy crazy.
Scott:Yep, this episode is definitely getting tagged all that work for nothing, I don't, we care, but it finishes strong yeah, finishes strong with how I opened the show welcome to milk crates and Turntables.
Lou:I believe this was their closing song for pretty much their entire career.
Scott:I love this part. He says where'd you get it? And the kids go you gave it to us.
Lou:Is that the song he sang as Quaalude yeah, okay, yeah, okay yeah.
Mark:I think this stuff is the reason why XTC hired Prairie Prince to do their first studio albums.
Scott:Why? What do you?
Mark:mean the guy's a great drummer.
Lou:Yeah yeah. In Utopia, Todd Rundgren used him.
Mark:Yeah, I'm reading where Prairie Prince was also the drummer in Jefferson Starship. Yeah, from like 1992 to like 2005 or something. Jesus, really.
Scott:Anything for a check?
Mark:Yeah, they paid him well.
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:Yeah, there were other things on that side too that to me reminded me of, like, where Jim Steinman was going to go with Meatloaf. There was some of that piano dramatic and I said, jim Steinman, I don't know if he took it from them, but it did sound like a precursor to meatloaf, that's a good point.
Scott:Yeah, that's a good point. I never, uh never, thought of that, never it's like hints here and there, you know yeah, yeah, but the kansas thing, that's interesting too. Now I'll hear that and I'll be like, oh, that that vinyl?
Lou:that I think then. And then if you listen to journey from mary Brown or anything off their first two albums, they do a lot of runs like that. Yeah, very similar.
Scott:So I was just like wow this is great. That's great that we did this, because now I'll listen to it a little differently.
Mark:Yeah, do you guys know who produced the album called the Completion Backward Principle?
Lou:I know 1981 with Talk to.
Mark:You Later. I was surprised.
Lou:David foster. David foster, the, the king of what do you want to?
Mark:call him 80 schlock production oh, wow uh.
Scott:Susan haskell had coffee with the king today. That means she had my king of facebook coffee mug ah I still have some of those left. I'll have to mail them to you. Give you a king of facebook coffee. I would love that dude that show cost me so much money I still have a few koozie, like you know, cheap like koozie things left over.
Lou:You put your bear in it.
Scott:It's not the heavy round ones, it's like the flat ones, just a little bit of rubber, but they got my image, the King of Facebook image on it. You know that with the crown on it Fucking hilarious. That show cost me fucking podcast equipment. I kept doing cameras, like everything upgraded during that show, like that's where I made my bones right oh okay, that's where I made my bones is on that.
Scott:and uh, yeah, yeah, it's pretty funny. And then I I was buying all these mugs and my wife's like, uh, darling, she calls me darling man, that's what she calls me, darling man. Oh, um, the king of Facebook show isn't really in our budget. Thank you, baby, I get it. She said it very nicely. So after two cases of coffee mugs, I kind of stopped giving them away. I should have done t-shirts. I know it's never too late, it's never too late.
Lou:You can tell me yourself Do we have to pay for our?
Mark:coffee mugs.
Scott:Huh Do we have to pay for our coffee mugs. No, those are on me, guys. That's my gift to you guys for the 100th episode. 100 episodes next week.

Mark:Two years. Imagine that. That's flipping me out, it's crazy, right?
Scott:Yeah, it is crazy and there's no end in sight. No, there's no end in sight. I actually referred to this podcast when I'm teaching the veterans in the One man, one Mic Foundation. I'll be sending out a friend raiser soon. What's that? It's another shameless plug. Yeah, yeah, well, it's for a good cause.
Mark:That's a good plug. That's a good plug.
Scott:But I referred to this last night and I said to the veterans in the class and I did it virtual. The thing about One man, One Mic Foundation is I can do the pod lab anywhere in the country. One guy's in Utah, the other guy's in Maryland, that's the beauty of it. I can reach anybody. Like there's no, I'm not stuck in South Florida. But I said, well, am I a professional podcaster? I said I think 157 episodes of a podcast kind of gives me the right to say I'm a professional podcaster True, I think 150, where the average podcast runs six to eight episodes.
Mark:Is that all?
Scott:That's it. That's when they hit that wall and they're like this isn't fun, it's a lot of work. They don't realize.
Mark:Yeah, it turns into a little bit of work. Gratification, yeah, but that's too bad, and they're not getting downloads.
Scott:But yeah, there's all the metrics. I know all the metrics about what the average is for this and that. Yeah, and I think 157 episodes gives me the right to say I kind of know what I'm doing. Yeah, to say I kind of know what I'm doing. Yeah, right, kind of know what I'm doing. Well, look, I brought you guys on. That was the greatest move I ever made. Oh, thanks man.
