Speaker 1: 0:43

Welcome back to another Super Awesome Mix. My name is Matt Zedholm, alongside my co-host and co-founder of Super Awesome Mix, samer Abu-Salbi Samer, how are we doing this week?

Speaker 2: 0:53

Doing real well. I'm in my favorite month, one of my favorite months other than my birthday month. Of course, that's got to be number one, right? Everyone loves their birthday month.

Speaker 1: 1:02

I could see that, or Christmas. Some people really love Christmas, but I think. October's a popular one for Halloween purposes. Is that part of the love, or is it more the fall weather?

Speaker 2: 1:13

It's more like the fall weather and football and the Mets now are in the playoffs and doing really well, so you know it's like playoff season for baseball. There's a lot of good things going on in the sports world other than the Jets and the Giants. Let's not talk about them.

Speaker 1: 1:30

Yeah, just relishing the Mets and Yankees continuing to play baseball and you know a long season, right Jets and the giants they may be there at the end, who knows?

Speaker 2: 1:40

yeah you never know, you never know you never know they could turn around any day now any day, any day, any day.

Speaker 1: 1:46

Um, but, sam, we're back here with another new music mix. It is the month for the month, of october, like we said, and uh, we just have one more new music mix after this and then it's kind of getting into the best of so pretty, uh, pretty exciting times here and, uh, I will say this is this is one of our more eclectic new music mixes, I think yes, absolutely.

Speaker 2: 2:08

We, uh, we pick from a lot of different genres here and I like it. It's uh, it's interesting not to just always speaking for myself too, not to just always basically pick alt or alt rock or rock, like just basically a mix and match of those two genres. Right, what's your flavor? Um, so that was pretty fun. I, I agree we both did a really interesting job of kind of leaving our comfort zones. Um, and with that let me introduce the first song.

Speaker 1: 2:33

It is your pick and it is what people really do by day glow yeah, so this is a band out of austin texas, which, uh, that's a city relishing in the uh, aftermath of austin city limits, uh, obviously, massive two weekend long festival down there. Um, so they're fronted by a guy named sloan strubel. Uh, I just like their sound. I kind of equated it to. It almost sounds like the adult contemporary genre, but like a cooler version of adult rock.

Speaker 1: 3:03

But then, yeah, this song in particular, I kind of listened to most of this new album by them, and the line here that stood out is what people really do is wait around for nothing until their life is through, which can kind of be a downer, like, if you take it one way, but I kind of take it as like well, don't be like those other people, like go do something and don't just wait around for that perfect moment, perfect opportunity. I think we talk a lot about motivation and getting things done on this show, and so I thought I took this as a positive slant and not something kind of depressing.

Speaker 2: 3:51

Yeah, I like that. I agree with that too. The line that stood out to me is like I'm looking at my little telephone, my brain is sauteed. It's nothing new and I like sauteed rather than fried. You know, we hear a lot about what people are saying like oh, my brain is fried. But saying that your brain is sauteed is a very colorful way of saying that.

Speaker 1: 4:12

Just lightly browned. Yeah, that's where my brain is right now.

Speaker 2: 4:20

I like them. At first I was like this is kind of like a less energetic Franz Ferdinand, Not in a bad way, right. But I got a little bit of that. And then I got a little bit of later Weezer, you know like mid-2000s, late-2000s Weezer vibe.

Speaker 1: 4:34

Either way Like adult Weezer right.

Speaker 2: 4:35

Right, yes, weezerer for adults, for aging millennials, everywhere for when you want to listen to alt music, alt rock. But you know you just don't have the energy for real weezer nothing makes you sound older.

Speaker 1: 4:50

That likes being surprised at liking a new band like oh, this is wait, this was written after 1975. I like it. What? When did that happen?

Speaker 2: 5:04

I know. And then you get really excited and you just tell everyone because like you're, you know you're cool. Now you've discovered a new band that's right.

Speaker 1: 5:10

Yeah, nobody's heard of these guys.

Speaker 2: 5:13

Nobody, it's like matt, they're literally number two on spotify right now.

Speaker 1: 5:16

It's like no, no, I discovered them have you heard of this woman, taylor swift? I mean, I just heard a song by her and it's not bad yeah, she's got some promise. She's got some promise yeah well, speaking of your first pick. This is called Autumn Nocturne, and it is by a 24-year-old woman named Samara Joy.

Speaker 2: 5:44

Yeah, this is one of those ones where I wanted to tell everyone actually it's funny you mentioned that because I absolutely love this definitely goes in the category of a new artist producing songs that sound like they belong in another decade. Right, like I just can close my eyes and imagine myself back in like 50s, 60s, darkened room jazz club, you know, like the red velvet curtain stage and her singing up there. I love, love, love her voice. I've been listening to this album kind of nonstop actually ever since I discovered her and I was the one to discover her.

Speaker 1: 6:17

Obviously it wasn't, wasn't an algorithm, she did produce a record, samer, I mean that's Right. Yeah, okay, well, all right, somebody might have discovered. Anyway, go ahead, go ahead. Yeah, we'll give you credit.

Speaker 2: 6:31

I don't know how the music industry works, matt, come on, I love. I actually typically end my day, my work day, with like kind of this you know, like a piano, bar, jazzy music, feel just to kind of like settle down, and I you know she's great for that. So really really enjoyed listening to her. I love her voice and, again, just kind of that throwback sound from from a modern day artist sound from a modern day artist.

Speaker 1: 6:59

Yeah, I was really surprised pleasantly surprised when this one started playing, because I just did not expect this at all. And then to find out she's only 24 and you hear her voice and you're exactly right. You could have told me this was some sort of re-release from 1940 and I would have been like yeah, okay great, yeah, cool, but yeah, just an amazing voice. I mean such a throwback. It reminded me of when, like Nora Jones, hit the scene.

Speaker 1: 7:22

And it was like wait, what is this? Why is this on the radio and how old is this woman? And I think Nora Jones was also something like 24 when she kind of made a splash. But no, I love this. We need her singing with all sorts of people collaborating, and I think if there's ever another James Bond film, let's get her singing the title track.

Speaker 2: 7:44

That'd be perfect. Yes, yeah, let's get. Let's get our producer friends on the line after this recording, you know, in Hollywood.

Speaker 1: 7:52

I'll make a couple of calls. I'll make a couple of calls.

Speaker 2: 7:55

Yeah, yeah, that's good, great, great. See what Matt Damon's up to these days. All right, your next pick, track number three, is Much Ado About Nothing by Oaxahatchee.

Speaker 1: 8:10

Yeah, samer, this is not a country band. Okay, they're considered alt-indie but they've got a little country flair to them. They're from Birmingham, alabama. For all my Texan friends out there there is a Waxahachie Texas it is spelled differently. This is named after the Waxahachie Creek where lead singer Katie Crutchfield grew up in Alabama.

Speaker 1: 8:31

So it's a great song about kind of getting over an ex. I call out the lines here, tell you to lose my number and then I call you twice. Oh no, it's getting dark. Everyone's eyes on me. Light me up with one spark. Relish the anarchy and just this kind of like keeps falling back into the same pattern, keep going back to this person, whether actually physically going back to that same person, or just you know in her mind, but I just thought it was really well done, or just you know in her mind, but I just thought it was really well done and you know all their music. There's a few other songs kind of floating out there on some of the radio stations that I just think are pretty strong and again it's country-ish but it's really more kind of indie rock feel to it.

Speaker 2: 9:14

Yeah, that's exactly what I wrote here. I said I like the sound a lot. It's kind of country-esque, kind of folksy, it has like a chill sound. And yeah, this was like a surprising one for me Because again, you know, anytime that you're on that line of, is this country or not? I'm going to be extra dubious, but this one fell on the I enjoy this sound side of the line, so that's really good. I also called out that line. Tell you to lose my number, then I call you twice.

Speaker 2: 10:07

I think that that's a very relatable feeling. When you're trying to get over someone, you're like I, you know, I'm done with you. And then you're like well, let me just like call you one more time, send you one more text.

Speaker 1: 10:21

All right. Track four it is Sailor Song by Gigi Perez.

Speaker 2: 10:25

Yeah, this is, um, also like kind of a surprising pick for me. This, you know, it's just a. It's a really beautiful song. Um, it's surprising the sense that I I have loved in the past like kind of heartbreak songs like this, you know, or just kind of like feeling down songs. Like college aged me would have loved this song. Right, I would have had this on repeat next like death cab for cutie and also like Pete Yorn, which is actually what this reminds me of. It's like she's like a female version of Pete Yorn, which is just incredible. Her voice is just so beautiful. Here. I find the song is like, I don't know it could be set to like a heartbreak montage in a film or something like that. Right, like that's kind of the mood. I think it's sad, it's beautiful, it's like yearning, it's loving, it's romantic, it's explicit, like it's all these different things swirled together in this really really well done and well sung song. So this was a cool discovery for me and I really like it.

Speaker 1: 11:17

It's interesting Earlier you described Dayglo as lower energy. Franz Ferdinand and my note here on Gigi Perez is lower energy all American rejects, kind of the feel I got from this one. So I just like how we both use that adjective lower energy as a comparison, but again, similar to what you said earlier, not in a bad way, right, like I think it works here. There's a lot of passion in this song, like I call it the line I sleep so I can see you because I hate to wait so long, and I think that's I don't know, that's a really strong, really well-written line. But yeah, I agree with you and it's also cool that we're kind of comparing this female voice to a lot of male voices, right, which you don't get a lot of, I think, in music. But I think this is cool. Yeah, I think it's just a really well done song.

Speaker 2: 12:09

It is, yeah, I agree. And speaking of just incredible female singers, track number five Folie à deux by Lady Gaga.

Speaker 1: 12:17

Yeah, so Lady Gaga stars in the new Joker movie of the same name. I haven't seen it. The reviews are not great so far. Everyone I've heard is not going Gaga over this movie. Now, the title is a French term for a shared delusional disorder which, if you know anything about DC Comics and the Joker and Harley Quinn, which is the character Lady Gaga plays, that would be appropriate.

Speaker 1: 12:44

What Lady Gaga did with this album that came out was just do a lot of standards, which she did in the past, most notably with Tony Bennett. But she said that she kind of sang these in a different voice. She tried to sing them like she imagined her character would sing and she tried to make her voice sound not as well trained and changed her breathing and this, that and the other. I still think she sounds fantastic. Yes, listening to the album and I guess the intent wasn't to make her sound bad, it was just to produce a different sound. But all the songs in this album are very different and when you put them against the backdrop of just what I've seen in the trailer from the film, you know a lot of violence and chaos, it's it's even more interesting. So I, you know, I haven't seen the movie, haven't heard good things, but I will say the.

Speaker 2: 13:38

The album here, I think, is pretty strong and pretty fun to listen to yeah, I would say it speaks to her talent that she could manipulate her voice in a way and still sound just incredible. Right, like I, I basically only have one setting. If I'm gonna sing a song, and it's not good for anyone, like, no one wants to hear that version, much less me trying to change it in any way.

Speaker 1: 14:03

Yeah you get upset when I bring out my pitch pipe and I'm like, no, Sam, we're up here, up here, bring it up. And you're like no, just singing one way yeah.

Speaker 2: 14:13

I mean, we can't spend three hours before every recording trying to get the pitch perfect. Okay, I just don't have time for that, don't have?

Speaker 1: 14:21

time. What do people want? People demand a high level of audio quality from us.

Speaker 2: 14:27

Oh, they really do, though that's not a joke. But yes, I really like this song and this one in particular. Honestly, it's like all of these kind of sound like they belong in like a children's musical. So I agree with you kind of having that vibe with the music on top of the backdrop of the film.

Speaker 1: 14:52

I kind of get what the director was going for, whether or not they were successful, but I understand what they were shooting for for sure. Um, all right track.

Speaker 2: 14:55

Six another big name you go with una velita by bad bunny very nice accent there, I like it. A little. Candlelight is, uh, is what he's talking about. So this is, um, I mean, it's a bad bunny track. It's really good, he's so talented, he's such a such a talented singer. Um, but this is, I mean, it's a Bad Bunny track. It's really good, he's so talented, he's such a talented singer.

Speaker 2: 15:09

But this is, I think, kind of a haunting song, especially with, like, the chorus of voices that he sings along with. It's kind of a warning. It speaks about a hurricane that you know hit Puerto Rico and obviously was really devastating. And now we are in a season of just additional devastating hurricanes that are, you know, unfortunately hitting Florida over and over again. You know, and I think the line that I really like here is remember that we're all from here.

Speaker 2: 15:33

It's up to the people to save the people, and I think that that's a very powerful line. You know, like, at least let us come together after devastation and after loss and help each other. You know, at the very least, like we can disagree, all we want ahead of it, but I think afterwards, like let's truly try to put all that aside and just help people, because we are, at the end of the day, just people and we're trying to, you know, do our best and, and, uh, live our lives. So I think this is a really powerful song, um, and and it's really it's cool that he's singing about this and trying to bring awareness to the state of things and the reality of things today.

Speaker 1: 16:10

It's also interesting because if you don't speak Spanish or look up the lyrics, you just think this is kind of a fun dance song.

Speaker 2: 16:16

Right, yes.

Speaker 1: 16:19

And not to dismiss it in that way, but it is just kind of interesting the packaging around it for um, for for that kind of message. But yeah, he is such a massive star and I don't know if people fully grasp how big a star he is, but it's something where, like you know, he comes through dallas and it'll be like three straight nights completely sold out and it's like a massive event when he rolls through, but just not someone that you're turning on the radio and listening to because it is Spanish language, right, but yeah, really great track here. Again, even before you get to the lyrics, I think you're going to enjoy just listening to it. It's got a great sound to it, but, you're right, you get into the lyrics and you can probably appreciate it that much more.

Speaker 2: 17:01

Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, he is a massive star. All right, track track number seven. Speaking of other people that are quite large, but maybe not as big as their counterparts, um, this is lotus eater by phineas yeah, my note here is okay.

Speaker 1: 17:15

So phineas o'connell he's billy eilish's brother and co-writer and producer and all the other things, so people know who phineas is. But obviously, like billy eilish is kind of the main star so like she's like she kind of goes and does her thing, wins a bunch of Grammys and he gets the Grammys too. Like people don't realize, it's like their names are on all these things. But front and center is Billie Eilish. That's kind of funny Cause he'll just sort of pop up on stage and he's doing all these other projects in the back and he'll write songs for other people and all this. But he's got a new solo album called For Crying Out Loud. I think it's great. I think it's really it's fun. I think he does just such a great job of writing music, obviously because you know Billie Eilish has been just a megastar.

Speaker 1: 18:02

This is the last track on the album. It's kind of cool because it's like it almost feels like the beginning of a relationship and maybe things are a little tricky, people aren't quite as forthright with each other, but I just love the sound of his music more than anything. I mean this one almost had kind of a 80s, like psychedelic furs feel to it Kind of new wave, but it's really good. I've listened to this track several times, as well as some of the others that are already out there. But yeah, I mean, if you like Billie Eilish and some of the other stuff he's been a part of, I think you're gonna love this.

Speaker 2: 18:37

Yeah, I agree, I really like this song, I thought my biggest note here is that I thought the chorus is just so catchy. It is very, very catchy. It's like a very nice song to listen to. And then, you know, my other thought that we've kind of already talked about is just that, like she does get so much attention with her name and you would think that he would want to I would, if I were him, I would want to attach myself a little bit closer, like have a shared name, you know something, to where you're like, oh right, like Billie, eilish and phineas, like, but maybe, maybe not, maybe he's okay, kind of just doing his own thing and not being attached to the name.

Speaker 1: 19:12

Who knows, well, in a sense it's like the perfect position, because it's like he's got all sorts of awards and money, but he can go to the mall and probably no one would think twice.

Speaker 2: 19:25

Right, that's a good point. We're like Billy.

Speaker 1: 19:28

Adler cannot do that. No, no, that is true. All right, your next pick, track eight, it is.

Speaker 2: 19:39

Good For Me by Bishop Briggs. Yeah, I think you know we've mentioned Bishop Briggs before on one of our mixes, so she popped back up on like a new music mix for me, and very happy for it because I really really like the song. It's a beautiful song and I think it's a really powerful question. And she actually says that this came to her when it was like during the peak COVID pandemic, she found herself in a hospital room with her sister and she just started to kind of like I think many of us question, like, was it ever good for me?

Speaker 2: 20:13

You know, you think about the things that you push for, what you dream for, and oftentimes, like you don't ever stop and ask like, is that actually what I want, or is it maybe not what I wanted? So which only what I thought that I wanted? And that's really what this, what the song explores, and I think she does it in a very, very, you know, good way and a very powerful way. So I think from that perspective, it's a very cool song and kind of a powerful one. If you're in an introspective mood every now and then just check in with yourself for whatever goals you're pursuing, like, do they still, you know, do they really matter to you, or did they matter to you in the past, and maybe now it's time to let them go and change them? So I think, from that regard, I really enjoyed the song and I think she's a great singer as well.

Speaker 1: 20:52

Yeah, I kind of got the same thing. I mean this has got to be sort of music in the arts, has got to be such a weird field because I think you get into it, because you love that particular thing and then, if you're really good at it, you become. There's all this other stuff where you're super famous and I think what we hear time and time again is that's maybe part of the downside a little bit. You know that's that's upside and downside. I mean, I don't know if you watch that there's a Nickelback documentary, I think, on Netflix and you watch it and it's like they've had all sorts of.

Speaker 1: 21:25

They've gotten awards, they've been, they've made a ton of money, but they're also kind of a punchline and some people really dislike them, even though it's like they probably look around and they've done the thing they wanted to do, you know, but but the output of that just wasn't quite matching up. So yeah, I think that whole world is is pretty world is pretty odd. Like I just referenced, phineas probably has it best because maybe he doesn't get as much of the negativity that others do. But, yeah, really well-written song and, of course, well-sung by Bishop Briggs. So, yeah, love this pick.

Speaker 2: 21:58

Nice All right Track number nine, a hugely familiar band. I'm going to try to read the song title like it's written out here, and it is feels like I'm falling in love.

Speaker 1: 22:09

Just no, no spaces by coldplay all right, say what you want about coldplay. I don't like. Okay, I had this. I wondered this, sam. Or when you saw coldplay on the list, did you kind of roll your eyes, or were you, like interested in listening to the song?

Speaker 2: 22:24

I, you know, that's a great question. I, I don't know where I was. I think it's like a little bit of both, right, because I think it's a little bit of like okay, here we go, like coldplay will release a coldplay track, and it's going to sound just like a coldplay track, yes, and then on the flip side though, it's like but I'm going to listen to it, I'm probably going to really like it. So it's like it's kind of hard for me to settle on either direction for that one, yeah.

Speaker 1: 22:45

I don't know where people stand on Coldplay exactly. But again, this song, like you said, it's a Coldplay track. It's got a great bass line, it's got Chris Martin's vocals. It's a nice little love song. It checks all the boxes. And as much as I was like okay, this is just another Coldplay song, I was also like I really like it and I think people should listen to it because it's good and I just didn't know where. I don't know, I have no idea where people stand. I also saw them live once here in Dallas and it was an amazing show.

Speaker 1: 23:15

It was really good and it was really fun. So it was like I don't know, but part of me maybe it was because I was just writing about the whole Nickelback thing and listening to the Bishop Briggs song, maybe it was the juxtaposition of these two I was like, oh, is Coldplay in that Nickelback category? I'm not sure, but anyway I think it's a great song. I'm sure there's going to be a ton of great. They have a new album coming out called Moon Music and they were just on Saturday Night Live recently. So I'm sure it's going to be great. But again, if you just kind of don't like Coldplay, you probably won't like it.

Speaker 2: 23:48

Right, exactly, yeah, like they're not going to bring in probably new fans anytime soon. It's just going to be like, if you like them, you're going to listen to them, and if you tolerate them, you probably will still also listen to them. One thing that I do think that they do very well is, um, a lot of really interesting collaborations. I think he you know Coldplay and Chris Martin, like he just has a huge like Rolodex let's throw it back of of other you know artists and musicians who are willing to kind of join him on tracks, and those songs are often my favorite ones of theirs. Um, even his Superbowl halftime show, right for the 50th year of Super Bowl, was incredible, right, you know you had like Bruno Mars, you had Beyonce, like all three of them on stage together. It was one of my favorite shows to date. Like I actually will go back and watch that one randomly. So, yeah, I think that's kind of his power too for a lot of his albums. I'm curious to see who he gets this time.

Speaker 1: 24:41

All right track. 10. You've got Jack London by Maya Hawke.

Speaker 2: 24:46

Yeah, maya Hawke. So if you don't recognize the name, she's actually also an actress and you probably. If you've watched Stranger Things, she's a gnat. She also was brilliant as anxiety, the emotion, anxiety in the movie Inside Out too, if you've not seen that. I really liked that movie and I think it does a really good job of kind of jumping into the mind of anxious people everywhere, myself included.

Speaker 2: 25:09

Um, but she's also a singer. She's multi-talented and it's amazing. I really really, really like her voice. Um, I find it to be very like soft and delicate. I think it's perfect for this kind of song. Um, I also just really like this song in general and specifically I the outro.

Speaker 2: 25:24

I think like the lyrics here are just very powerful. Where she sings it's kind of like a duet and I'm not sure who the second singer is here, but I'll just read her lines. If you've lost the will to live, if you're stumbling on the path, when you're ready to forgive, there's always a way back. There's always a way back and I love that. I just think that's so powerful and, again, super. You know, it's like it's a good reminder. Sometimes you do just kind of feel like you're lost. You don't know where you are. You don't feel like going on, but you, there is always a way back and I think that's a very powerful reminder. So very happy to kind of listen to this song on this like very short album she released. And again, I'm just very impressed with people who are this talented and can do all the things, so it's really cool.

Speaker 1: 26:07

Yeah, and Dad Ethan Hawk. So you know kind of comes from a talented family as well, yes, I would say so, no. I love. I love this song. I do like her voice and I'm excited about a new season with Stranger Things whenever that comes around, but the line I'll call out here it's though. Your purpose is no longer clear. There's a little left for you to do.

Speaker 1: 26:29

Nice, I thought that was so clever, because I think we've all maybe been in that situation where it's like you're not sure what you're still doing, whether it's in a relationship, in a job or whatever but you're kind of still doing it and still moving forward.

Speaker 2: 26:46

So I don't know that was well done, well written, absolutely, I agree. All right, your last pick of the mix track, number 11. It is the Magic by the Aces.

Speaker 1: 26:56

Yeah, I had the Aces on a new music mix. I want to say their last year, the year before. Here they are again. It's just the first single from an upcoming album, love their energy.

Speaker 1: 27:17

It's really just kind of a positive song about kind of you know, a lot of times we talk about songs you could strut to. Just I thought was really really kind of different. I really racked my brain. I couldn't think of songs that really highlighted just when the two of us are together. Everybody, you know, stops and stares. You know we've got the magic. So I don't know, I just thought it was awesome. I just love the message and again, they always kind of seem to bring the fun, so had to include it here.

Speaker 2: 27:45

Yeah, she, crystal Ramirez said exactly that. She said we wanted to give ourselves and other queer people an anthem for being the power couple in the room or being in the cool friend group, just that anthem to give you that confidence, make you feel like you're amazing, et cetera, et cetera. So I really think I mean she nails it, they nail it with this song. It does that perfectly and it also reminded me almost funny enough of like an Ace of Base song with the name of the Aces. It's got that like late 90s pop song energy you know what I mean Like it's great. I think it does that just suits it very well too in terms of just making you feel like you're walking and you're standing tall.

Speaker 1: 28:21

So I really enjoyed the song a lot, you know. Another thought I had samara was why don't more heterosexual men get into music written by lesbians for other women?

Speaker 1: 28:32

because isn't that like you know, I don't know she's just talking about how beautiful this woman is, and I'd probably be like yeah, I agree. So like isn't that an untapped market? Like wouldn't more straight probably be like, yeah, I agree. So. Like isn't that an untapped market? Like wouldn't more straight guys be? Like, yeah, I'd sing along to this song. It's just a song about a beautiful woman.

Speaker 2: 28:53

All right, well, good luck trying to sell that. We'll see how far you go, I'll see.

Speaker 1: 28:56

Let me know, I'll see, I don't know if either party is going to come to the table. Okay, but that, but I still thought I had All right. All right, let's bring this one home.

Speaker 2: 29:06

Your last pick it is Memory Cassettes by Ben Bommer. Yeah, you know we don't often pick EDM tracks. I feel like usually when we have an EDM track it's because we have a guest on the show that really likes EDM, but you and I generally don't pick them and I wanted again to kind of branch out. And I wanted again to kind of branch out and I saw this as a new release. I clicked play, especially because of the name. Memory Cassettes like kind of obviously drew me to it. As you know, we are the super awesome mixtape show and so I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 2: 29:36

I think this song you know for not having any lyrics actually does kind of sound like the type of music that you would like dive into your memories with.

Speaker 2: 29:43

You know, like it just has that kind of ethereal vibe to it, like you can imagine yourself like jumping into the past and kind of experiencing a part of your past and the the B kind of unfolds really smoothly and you can just kind of like sink yourself into it, almost like just sitting into a big, comfortable couch. You know, assuming like your memories are hopefully good ones and positive ones that you're spending time with. So I thought that you know, assuming like your memories are hopefully good ones and positive ones that you're spending time with. So I thought that you know it can be very difficult to listen to an edm track and kind of get what they're going for, um, especially if you're not into the genre. Sometimes that's difficult for me, right um. But I think this one actually does that very well. So I thought this was a cool track to kind of exit on yeah, this was a weird one.

Speaker 1: 30:23

For me, edm is not something I normally listen to, I'll be honest. I kept waiting for this one to maybe just kick in a little bit more right, and it never quite gets there, and so that's what bumped me a little bit while I was listening to it, because it was kind of wrapping up and I was like, oh, we never got that sort of. I just want a little bit more oomph.

Speaker 2: 30:46

Right, have you ever seen the SNL skit the Drop with Andy Samberg? I don't think I have no. Okay, you're going to have to look for that. It's literally like a DJ with like a button. He's at a club and there's a button called the Drop and everyone in the club is waiting for him to push that button and it's hysterical. It's so, so good Because he keeps teasing it and he never pushes it. I think that's how I felt.

Speaker 1: 31:10

I was just like go, come on now, now, now, now, you know, and then it was like oh, we didn't get there Okay.

Speaker 2: 31:19

Yeah, you'll have to watch that skit. Let me know what you think.

Speaker 1: 31:24
