[Am] [F] [C]
[F] [C] I got a [E] tampon in my, [A] my, my
When [E] we walked in the door, and I was like, oh my gosh.
The first thing I thought of is no question, is my favorite [C] piece of pop [Am] culture.
That would [Cm] be Vince Giraldi, Charlie Brown's Holiday [Am] Hits.
[Cm]
[F] [Eb]
[F]
[G] [B] I listen to this [Bbm] all the time.
[C] I mean, there's only like one, two, [Bb] three, three, [C] two or three real Christmas songs on this one.
[Am] But it wouldn't even matter because I would listen to it anyway.
[Db] It's great.
And Vince Giraldi [B] is great.
All his stuff is great.
[Bbm] So the first Beatle [C] record I ever got was Revolver.
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
It is not dying.
The mono version of Revolver.
I've been wanting it for years.
Mixed mono, remastered it.
Sounds great.
I have this friend Marvin Etzioni.
He was in Lone Justice.
He's an old musician around here.
He just swears by mono everything.
He's like, you've got to hear Revolver on mono.
Why don't you just unplug one of the speakers and listen to the one you're playing?
It's not the same.
They mixed it differently.
These guys picked old stuff.
So I had to go new.
This is from the [F] 80s.
It's R.E..M. Fables [B] of the Reconstruction, Reconstruction of the [Gb] Fables. When I [G] rise [Em] my [Gb] arms up. [Em] [C] [D] This is an OG [C] press. So this is from the [Bm] same pressing [D] as the one I had and played to [C] death. There was a trick on old record [D] players where you could take the arm and I was going [B] to say cock it up. But that's probably not a good word for it. [Em] You could affix the arm in the upright position. So that the record player would always think there was another disc waiting to drop down. And [C] so this record I would listen to on repeat [Em] while I slept. Like at night I'd go to bed at midnight. I'd wake up at seven for high school. And [C] I would have listened to like Side B for instance of this album. What, [B] 15 minutes times seven hours? Yeah, I'm excited now because I finally got a good [C] vinyl set up at home. And I'm making my kids endure the records that I [D] loved from my childhood. While I was in [E] the jazz section, the [Ebm] second record I [C] thought of was this [E] just classic record. [Bbm] [B] [D] [C] [D]
[Eb] [Gb] [Bb] This is where I [Eb] operate. He's trying to [Em] be smarter than that. You know what, [Gb] I can't help it. What [Eb] instrument does John Coltrane play? Don't look at the album. I'm [Bb] sort of a drummer, really. [Ab] The next one [Dm] I record on, [D] Amoeba. [F] [D] Hometown Boys, The Holla Laws. Tell me what's [C] on your mind. [F] [D] Tell me what's [F] on your mind. [D] Tell me what's [F] on your mind. Cause I [D] can't find. [F] Spencer from [C] this band, he would [F] always kind of [Dm] hang out with us. And [D] he used to work at Amoeba and show us [Dm] around. And he was always my friend, you [Am] know. And [F] so, [Dm] Tell Me What's On Your Mind was the [C] song that really [D] kind of got me. I was like, [Gm] I [C] [D] love this band, you know. So, yeah, very much a kind of 1965, [Dm] 6, 7. I think garage [C]-y. Yeah, very much. I [Dm] got stuck on a bit of [Em] records that I [Dm] couldn't stop listening to when I was 14 [C] years old. I [Db] felt like this was the record that, where they nailed [B] it. [Db] I [Gb] was happy in the [Ebm] haze of a drunken hour. [Abm] But heaven [B] knows I'm miserable now. That [Eb] phenomenon of a band making a great record and everything after that having to stand up [B] against it really bothered me [Ab] because now we're in a band and we've made now [Gb] 11 albums. And that's [B] part of why we never made one that was really [F] great. [Bb] My last record. It's [Eb] the best, man. [B] It's Exile on Main Street. I love it. I mean, come [E] on. [B] I had to catch a dog at sunset. I always ran a hole in my pants. I never made a song about happiness. Hey, I haven't had it since it was 8-track. So I get a pass there. It's so cool it [E] doesn't even have the song listing on it. How many people have picked that [B] record? Everyone. They're like 70%, right? They get the solid 70%. They should. These guys I got obsessed [E] with a few years ago. [C] Stars of the Lid. [Am] [G] [C]
Stars of the Lid are Brian McBride and Adam Wiltsy. They have become basically the monsters of ambient music as it is in this day. Ambient music being the sort that Eno had with his Ambient series and that sort of thing. The records are fantastic. I got super obsessed with them about 4 or 5 years ago. Do you ever put that on and drift off to sleep? Oh my God. You take Tylenol P.N. [D] This is the new version of drugs, by [C] the way. Tylenol P.N. You hit 50. Don't take the dose, it's double. And then you put this on and you float away on a pink cloud. So hardcore. I listen to a ton of audio books. And our buddies John Doe from the band X and Tom DeSavio, who used to be our A&R guy at Elektra, collaborated to put together Under the Big Black Sun, which [D] is a personal history of L.A. punk. Certainly more stories will be told about this era. To the best of our abilities, we try to tell what we know and what we can remember. It's [G] likely that people and events [A] have been left out, but that will be someone [D] else's story. [Gb] They had just all these great people write their remembrances of the scene. They got nominated [G] for a Grammy for this audio book. Yeah, that's really cool. I've always wanted to own a [Bb] copy of [Em] this. [Bb] [E]
[G] [E]
[G] These guys were from [E] Seattle, they're Pacific Northwest. [Gm] There were [E] two [G] major rock bands up there before 100s and Heart. And it was the Wailers and the Sonics. And they kind of [F] predated a lot of [D] what's regarded as garage punk. They were going in 64 and they sounded [Bb] [G] so raw and so rocking and great. So, [Bb] very [G] happy. Nice. [Cm] Thanks for coming down, we appreciate it. Thanks for [G] having us. My pleasure. I'm not afraid, I'm good with [Eb] God. I got my sins get backed, I got a [Fm] lot. I got a soul that's good and [C] loud. I'm good with God. Amoeba!
