Speaker 1: 0:41

welcome back to another super awesome mix. My name is matt, set home alongside my co-host and co-founder of super awesome mix, sam abusalbi sam. How are we doing this week?

Speaker 2: 0:50

doing real well. I gotta say, um, your new music picks this month are really good. There were some that I'm so excited. I literally favorited them. I've had them on repeat.

Speaker 1: 1:03

Oh my gosh, I know it's only taken me five years to finally get you kind of on board with some songs. I actually now, as I was picking a couple of these, I definitely was like, oh, sam's gonna love this one, yeah yeah so no, it's true.

Speaker 2: 1:21

There were several where I again did the double take of like wait, did I pick this or did Matt pick this?

Speaker 1: 1:26

because it was right up my alley, so it was great well, you definitely had a couple great ones as well, so always excited to get into the new music. Um, as we talked about, you know, summer is when things start to peak a little bit with, like the big time artists coming out with new stuff, so I think we've got a lot of big names on this too.

Speaker 2: 1:49

Yeah, absolutely, and we will start with one. That should be no surprise to any longtime listener that he is top of your new music mix, and it is Unsatisfied Heart by Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 1: 2:02

I will say, though, he doesn't come out with new music all that often, so to put him on a new music mix is rare.

Speaker 2: 2:08

That's true, right that's true, it is Well done.

Speaker 1: 2:11

So here's what Bruce did. Well, he sold his music catalog a couple years ago for like half a billion dollars or something like that, and I think that's probably what prompted this to happen, because he released a collection called Tracks 2. Now, a couple decades ago, he had one called Tracks. That was really it was like four CDs worth at the time, right, and it was just a collection of songs that just didn't make the cut on certain albums right. This time this is being, you know, marketed as seven complete albums that he just never put out there, which is just insane when you think about from like a volume of work. I mean, he's got 20 plus albums out there and then to say, yeah, I got seven others that just were never published and so they decide to put them all out right now. Pretty interesting collection. I have listened to all seven albums. At this point, sam, I don't think you need to go and do that. That's not part of your homework.

Speaker 2: 3:12

Great, but I was never going to do it. Yeah, you never told me.

Speaker 1: 3:17

And I appreciate that honesty from you. Okay, great, I was never going to do it. Yeah, you're never going to do it, and I appreciate that honesty from you, okay, and from the listeners out there. But, yeah, so I picked just this one and it's Unsatisfied Heart. I think it fits kind of thematically with sort of what you know about Bruce, in that there is this. It's really good songwriting and it has this overall question of can you live with an unsatisfied heart. Of course he has a much bigger hit called hungry heart, which kind of falls in the same line and that one's kind of an anthem and everyone knows that one. That one was kind of a top 10 hit.

Speaker 1: 3:52

So it's interesting to listen to this and a lot of the songs on these albums and even these albums in whole, because you start to see why they weren't out there to a certain degree, right, I don't think this is a perfect song. I think it's a pretty good song and that's what I found on this collection is it's a lot of pretty good songs. And I liken it to if you watch like college sports and then you turn on the pros the next day you realize that the guy you thought was pretty good, the next day probably isn't making it at this level, right? So you know, the first album on this collection is from like 1983. Well, a year later he put out born in the usa, which is just a mega hit and you know the the he went on the equivalent of like the Eros tour at that point, right right.

Speaker 1: 4:40

The 1980s equivalent of that with all the stadium shows he did.

Speaker 2: 4:44

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 4:46

Just touring on that album. But yeah, like the 1983 album that was out the year before, that he never published doesn't really live up to that level. So anyway, it's good. There are some pretty good songs on this entire collection. I think this is a pretty good song but overall nothing's perfect and really blows you away.

Speaker 2: 5:05

Right. As you said, it was edited out for a reason. I feel that way about uncut movies. Like the director uncut version, I'm like you know what. It was better with the cuts. It was just a tighter story, like there's a reason that we watched the cut version and not the uncut version in the theaters.

Speaker 1: 5:24

Um, I would love for it to further cut a movie, sometimes right like two and a half hours. It could be an hour 50 and you'd probably still get it, yeah right?

Speaker 2: 5:35

no, totally I feel that way about the last season, like the most recent season of um, stranger things. It was like 15 hours and it could have been like four.

Speaker 1: 5:43

You know, like okay yeah, we could have paired some things off right, we could have taken some things down.

Speaker 2: 5:48

Yeah, um no, but I think I agree with you. This is like a good bruce song. It's not like incredible, um. The one note I had about it, though, is that he asked that question can you live with an unsatisfied heart in the song so many times that it became almost like the psychological earworm, because then I started to question my own life and I'm yes, that's right.

Speaker 2: 6:10

No thinking about like yeah, like, what am I unsatisfied with? And oh my god, can I live with that? Like I really I found myself spiraling a bit because of his words. So it was, it was intense. It was an intense emotional journey. I went on because, like at first you know it's like it, just he repeats it so many times.

Speaker 1: 6:29

He can't help but not question it, yeah yeah, I mean, this song is like five and a half minutes long and it could have been three and a half and I think it kind of speaks to the you know why wasn't, why isn't this out there? Why isn't this like a top 10 hit or something for Bruce? And it's like, yeah, you could probably tell, and that's the. That's part of the reason. I put it on here is just to kind of show what you're dealing with. So if anyone, like I, was excited to get into tracks too and excited to get into tracks too and, like I said, there are some songs I really enjoyed on here, but I thought something like this was very emblematic of pretty good sound, pretty good songwriting, but yeah, this is.

Speaker 2: 7:06

this is the JV, this is not the varsity, you know, yeah totally All right, your first pick.

Speaker 1: 7:10

You go with Samurai by Lupe Fiasco featuring Troy Tyler.

Speaker 2: 7:15

Yeah, I had forgotten about Lupe Fiasco. He's an artist that I listened to a lot like 20-something years ago and I really, really liked his albums and then I just kind of forgot and he's got some new music and I'm like, oh yeah, I really like his sound and I've been listening to more of his music again recently, mostly the stuff from 20 years ago. But I really like this one. I especially like the, really like this one. I especially like the story behind this one.

Speaker 2: 7:39

So apparently amy winehouse famously left a voicemail um for salam remi saying I keep coming up with battle raps and they're just pouring out of me like wu-tang stuff but really neat, very beautifully alliterated little battle raps. Um, and she's literally says I'm, you know, I'm coming for you, I'm, I'm a samurai. And so lupe writes a song imagining a world where, um, she basically goes on to become like a hip-hop battle artist, um, and and hence the name samurai, which is also the name of the album um that he's released. So I really, really enjoyed the story and I I love the imagining and he does a lot of that kind of stuff. I feel like many of his songs that come to mind, he imagines worlds where, like, things are different, um, like a totally different timeline. Something else has happened, so I think this is right up his alley in that regard thematically, but I liked it and and I'm happy that he's still making new music that's really cool.

Speaker 1: 8:33

Like I love that backstory behind it and I mean what a twist that would have been if Amy Winehouse started putting out rap albums, you know. Right, right so many artists are doing crossover things right now because you can kind of just do it and put it out there for streaming purposes, right.

Speaker 2: 8:50

Exactly.

Speaker 1: 8:50

yeah, you don't have to kind of finish a whole album. Necessarily We've talked about kind of the difference between the old music business and the new one, but yeah, I love that. I think that would have been a really cool thing. This was a cool song. I just I love the beat, I love, I think the lyrics were really fun. Even without the backstory there, I think it was just kind of a cool song and I, you know, definitely got into it and you know this was one we talk about this from time to time where you can kind of drop the lyrics and just the beat alone can kind of stand by itself.

Speaker 2: 9:21

Absolutely yeah, and Lupe does that really well. All right. Track number three this is the one that I immediately favorited and had to listen to like two or three times before going further in the mix, and this is Evil Twin by Lindsey Stirling featuring Shuba. Okay, so Sam were you familiar with Lindsey Stirling? Prior to this I had heard of her. I think I'd heard one or two of her songs but I never really pieced it together, so only vaguely familiar.

Speaker 1: 9:48

Yeah, she's a violinist and she's kind of best known for mixing classical music with hip hop and electronic. She's got a massive YouTube following because she also choreographed some of these things as well, so she's got a lot of cool videos out there. Shuba is an artist who kind of mixes Bollywood with like pop rap, so she kind of sort of mixes genres as well. So, putting these folks together, you were going to get something. I think this is a super unique song. I mean I guess it's kind of electronic or dance. Putting these folks together, you were going to get something.

Speaker 1: 10:22

I think this is a super unique song. I mean I guess it's kind of electronic or dance, but there's the violin throughout as well. So I don't know, it's just this real cool collaboration between these artists, kind of, you know, putting together all that they know, and I just loved it. It's really just kind of a standout. And Lindsey Stirling's really, I mean she does a lot of stuff like this, so you could easily go down a rabbit hole of looking at her YouTube stuff or getting into her music on, you know, whatever streaming service you're on, and I think you'd really enjoy it.

Speaker 2: 10:48

Yeah, I basically fell down that rabbit hole and it's a lot of fun. No, and you know, the other thing that I thought was so cool is like it has, and um, those like Arabic sounding, you know, elements that make sense like from the from the Bollywood background.

Speaker 2: 11:04

Um, and I think Arabic music is also really good at being mixed in with electronic music because it's also very heavy on on like bass beats and drum beats and all that kind of thing which are just obviously natural elements of of EDM. So I love this song and drum beats and all that kind of thing, which are just obviously natural elements of EDM. So I love this song. I love the mega mash of all of these different elements that just work really really well together. So, yeah, this is one that will be on repeat and I'm going to go ahead and call it it's going to be on the best of the year. Wow, yeah, for sure. I'd be shocked if something displaces this. We'll see.

Speaker 1: 11:38

We'll for sure. I'd be shocked if something displaces this. We'll see. We'll see. That's also when, when, when you can put a song out there, that the other person picks for their, their top 12 for the year, that's totally yeah uh well, good, all right, your next pick.

Speaker 2: 11:48

It is daydreams by effin and nightmare yeah, it's funny that again without planning it, we put two of our kind of like heavy electronic things like right next to each other.

Speaker 2: 11:58

Fn is an artist that I've featured before, really heavy on samples and like bass heavy music. So I saw that they have more releases, this time being helped out by Nightmare. This has like a loungy feel, but it's really heavy and just super heavy bass. Like this is one of those songs where, like you don't want to play it on like your iphone speaker out loud, you know, because like you're missing the point yeah, it's gonna be so like tinny and like whatever.

Speaker 2: 12:26

But if you put on like some legit headphones or you have giant subwoofers in your car, like I used to, you're gonna love it. Um, and that's really the. The purpose of this song, in my opinion, is just that if you're a bass head, you're going to love it. So that's why I included this song on the mix.

Speaker 1: 12:44

Yeah, this one vaguely had elements of it of that song from the it soundtrack that you made me listen to on the Worst Mix Ever. It had a few elements of that but it was not as disjointed as that one. So it actually works here right. So it has that kind of eerie feel, even though it's called Daydream, but the artist's nightmare. But I think there's a good ephemeral quality to the whole song throughout that. I don't know I liked it, but it did evoke a memory of that song. But that song was completely unenjoyable, whereas this one was pretty good. This is the good version of that song.

Speaker 2: 13:21

Yeah, I like that Also. Anytime I listen to music like this, it reminds me of the Keane Peale skit where he puts on dubstep while they're moving. Are you familiar with that one? I'm not. Okay, you're going to have to watch it because it's spot on, it's spot on. I won't spoil it for you, it's great. So that plays in my head rent free Anytime I listen to bass, heavy music like that. Nice, okay, all right. So track number five, your next pick, and it is any day now by cold war kids.

Speaker 1: 13:52

Yeah, I love the energy on this one, just like the way that his voice sounds. It of the energy on this one, just like the way his voice sounds. It's specifically about Richard Swift, who was in the Shins and he passed away in 2018. And it's kind of biographical about him and they're kind of talking about, you know, sort of his rise and sort of how he started to work with all these different people and, you know, richard Swift was someone who struggled with alcoholism and, you know, probably I don't think he died directly of that, but probably complications of that.

Speaker 1: 14:24

Yeah, so I mean, it's a cool tribute because I think it's a great sounding song. It's very specific. So it is something where, like, I was interested to be like what are they talking about? Because I don't think it's necessarily really obvious and I didn't know the name Richard Swift just right offhand, right, that wasn't a household name in my mind, but I know the Shins and you can kind of get into the backstory from there. But, yeah, I just thought it was one just a good-sounding song on its own, but also just kind of a cool backstory as well.

Speaker 2: 14:56

I agree. I like songs that tell a story the whole way through, and this one does that very well. Like you can just kind of get into it because you feel like you're being sung a story about this individual. So I really like that. The other thing I'm really curious about is they mentioned the song that was potentially written by Mark Ronson and Ryan Adams called I Am Richard Swift, and they mentioned that they don't know if it exists or not. So I'm thinking we get their people on the phone try to find out.

Speaker 2: 15:21

You know, we get our people to call their people try to find out if that song exists, we don't need to make that call ourselves, but I think our people do to their people? Yeah, exactly, exactly, and see if we can't make that happen, yeah. Well, Ryan.

Speaker 1: 15:33

Adams seems pretty easy going, so he's probably up for a random phone call like that right. Yeah, I think so. Everything that I know about him tells me that that's true.

Speaker 2: 15:47

Yes, every account out there, that's a guy who loves a cold call.

Speaker 1: 15:51

That's exactly right, all right. Track six I love this artist's name. This is Rest of my Life by Daisy the Great.

Speaker 2: 16:06

Yeah, same. So Daisy the Great. I was first introduced to this little duo from an AJR song because AJR and Daisy the Great had a song called Record Player. They're both based out of Brooklyn so it totally makes sense that they would do a song together. The two singers here are Kelly Nicole Dugan and Mina Walker, and they're almost like an American wet leg. You know, like wet leg it's like the.

Speaker 2: 16:22

It's like the British counterpart across the pond, if you will, but they're like indie alt sound. I think this is like kind of a you know it has it's like a fun, cute song but it also, you know, kind of talks about the impermanence of things. You know that she sings like standing in the yard it doesn't seem so hard for a flower in the garden. Why do things so perfect, have to grow and die so often? Um, and I just you know she's like questioning all these things that we, I think, naturally think about all the time in like a cute, fun little indie pop way, um, and I think daisy the great does that very well. So I really like the song and I like their sound.

Speaker 1: 16:57

Yeah, I thought of Wet Leg as well when I was listening to this. I kind of did a double take to be like are you sure this is not maybe a new Wet?

Speaker 2: 17:05

Leg song.

Speaker 1: 17:06

But this one also had a question in it. You talked about unsatisfied heart at the top of the mix. This one, would you want to know me for the rest of my life? Which I thought was just kind of an interesting question, because that is really what like marriage is, or theoretically it would be, for you know sounds like about 50% of people or more that it's not that, but in theory that's what it is right.

Speaker 2: 17:31

Well, no, it's true, and in a way, even if you get divorced, I would argue, like for most of the people, you're going to know this person for the rest of your life, right Like they will be a chapter that will be hard to move on from, even if you try.

Speaker 1: 17:43

So that's also a possibility, even if you don't know them, you still get updates on that person. That's fair.

Speaker 2: 17:52

Yeah, facebook is still going to throw them in your face. At some point, do you remember 10 years ago, you married this person? How's that going your face at some point. Do you remember 10 years ago you married this person?

Speaker 1: 18:01

how's that going, y'all still happy. I've never thought about that.

Speaker 2: 18:03

Yeah, memories like that that pop up on your right yeah, apple iphone just making you sob uncontrollably on a random tuesday morning. Do you remember when you were happy, happy tuesday? Do you remember when you were happy, happy Tuesday.

Speaker 1: 18:25

There's got to be a business out there designed to just scrub your old social media feeds, right.

Speaker 2: 18:31

Exactly, yeah, exactly, all right. This next pick is another one that I really loved and one that I kept listening to over and over again and this is Cheeky by the Dare.

Speaker 1: 18:42

Yeah, the Dare is Harrison Patrick Smith. He is a West Coast singer and musician. I say West Coast because he's based, I think, in Hollywood, but he kind of grew up in Seattle so he's just almost on that side of the country. Interesting because I mean, the energy here is cool. I just love the way he raps in this song. It kind of reminded me of old Run DMC that's kind of what it evoked in my mind. It's pretty different and I admit this is not kind of the stuff I would normally bring to the mix. So it doesn't surprise me that you're kind of like hey, I really like this because it's not kind of just standard, what I'd normally pick out. But this one just kind of stood out to me and I was like, wow, this is really cool. And kind of like you did with Evil Twin, I think I listened to this one multiple times after hearing it for the first time.

Speaker 2: 19:35

Yeah, and this was one of the ones where I specifically was like is this my song or Matt's song? Because it definitely sounds like something I would pick. It reminds me of LCD Sound System too. I think we've talked about the Dare before, because I remember making that comparison, but it kind of has that same vibe to it of kind of a guy more or less like talking or rapping over like a very heavy, repeatable beat. I also really liked the second verse, where he sings I'm so cheeky, I'm like he, he, you're like ha ha ha, Hello, you say. I say voulez-vous coucher avec moi? You're so cheeky, Aren't you British baby? I'm from NYC.

Speaker 1: 20:20

I mean, he just keeps going on and it's like this back and forth, and it's a lot of than that. I'm reading it here, which is weird. It's weird, yeah, it's weird, that that's better at that than you, I. I can't explain that. Yeah me, neither, me, neither. All right track eight.

Speaker 2: 20:29

This is outside by cardi b yeah, cardi b is another artist that, um, I tend to forget that. Like she's got music that I love, um, and tell her that I know because I'll be on the diss track.

Speaker 2: 20:43

Right, you don't want beef with cardi b sam no, you really don't, and that's very evident in this song, because it's a fantastic diss track, um, but you know what I love? You know what got me thinking about this, especially with bruce at the top of the mix here. Like diss tracks work so well in the hip-hop world, like, can you imagine Bruce with a diss track? Like that's what got me, like, giggling to myself.

Speaker 1: 21:05

Like what would that sound? Like jeez, if he finally went right at Billy Joel, right for dragging that piano all over New York, right God.

Speaker 2: 21:18

I think there's a real opportunity here. Yeah, I think there's a real opportunity.

Speaker 1: 21:21

I would love it if some straight-ahead rock and roll artists came out with like just had a diss track and yeah.

Speaker 2: 21:29

Yeah, and got into each other. Yeah, like you know, like the whole Drake and Kendrick thing, we could have a Bruce and Billy thing, Like that'd be fun for us. They definitely have stories on each other right, like there's no doubt they know things, but yeah, why don't they ever come forward with it?

Speaker 1: 21:46

yeah, this is sammy hagar, sammy hagar and david lee roth. I mean they never had diss tracks about the other right, that seems insane, but that never existed.

Speaker 2: 21:54

Yeah, yeah, and maybe it'd be therapeutic.

Speaker 1: 21:56

You know, get those, get that energy out there singing you do wonder yeah, that's a great point you wonder if rappers are just happier than rock and rollers because they get that out there because they get it out there yeah, who knows, they're not harboring any of those feelings they're just healthy.

Speaker 2: 22:13

They're emotionally healthy people.

Speaker 1: 22:18

But this is a great song. I love how she raps, like she's just so you know it sounds so silly to say that, but it's like, you know, it sounds so effortless where I will say that this back to back with the dare. The dare, you think, had to practice that and had to really get to where where, like this, just seems to flow out of her very naturally and so, um, I'm gonna go ahead and say it on this, I'm gonna go on the record cardi b is a better rapper than the dare. Okay, that's controversial opinion, but that's what you're here for, that's why another?

Speaker 2: 22:50

that's why you listen. Yeah, another bold statement here. Wow, I need a second to recover from that before we that on.

Speaker 1: 22:57

That's going to go viral on TikTok when we put that out there. No, but this is awesome. Also really cool, she gives a shout out to Asia Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces. So you know the WNBA keeps rising in popularity and I think you know no better example than they're starting to get shout outs in rap music.

Speaker 2: 23:14

Absolutely, yeah, no, I love that, that's awesome. All music absolutely yeah, no, I love that, that's awesome. All right track number nine a another artist we've featured before this is chester fields and aftershave by dropkick murphy's yeah, dropkick murphy's have a new album coming out.

Speaker 1: 23:29

they are actually it is out and uh probably best known for their song shipping up to boston, which I think is what we featured on our baseball closers mix way back. I think this was Jonathan Papelbon of the Red Sox at the time. That's what he'd come out with. So they've got great energy on their songs, right.

Speaker 1: 23:51

But this one's cool because it's this kind of nostalgia song about him thinking about his grandfather and how his grandfather would probably hate this song. He kind of calls it out like this is too loud, I don't want to listen to this, even though it is kind of a tribute to him. So even if it's not Chesterfields which are cigarettes and aftershave, even if that's not what evokes memories for you, I think just sort of the construction of this song will kind of, you know, lend itself to you thinking back on your grandfather or grandmother or parents or whomever, like some elder that you've lost. So I think they just do a really good job here and even if you don't directly relate to this, I think you can kind of in your own head at least this is what my mind does it kind of evokes those same memories that are relevant to you and not their memories here.

Speaker 2: 24:43

Yeah, no, I agree, it's fun to think about that. There's like a certain cigarette brand. I think it's Kent, I can't remember. That is instantly my grandparents' house, like instantly, because they were really heavy smokers. May they rest in peace, because that's what ended up killing them.

Speaker 1: 25:00

Oh, I'm just going to pause here in the show. Take all the time you need, Sam.

Speaker 2: 25:14

They were wonderful people, wonderful people.

Speaker 2: 25:17

But they grew up in a time when they grew up in a time when cigarettes, yeah, were like, not not unhealthy, right, like they were a good thing for you to to consume in mass. Um, but, yes, anytime I smell it, I'm instantly, instantly transported back to to being around them, which I think is really nice. Um, I love to the song. Um, I love that, everything that they sing. I feel like it's like a bar song, like you could, you could just imagine like everyone being in a bar singing along with it, and I think that that's really fun agreed, agreed.

Speaker 1: 25:50

Now your next pick. Again. This is another great artist name. Okay, uh, the track is called High Horse and the group is Proper Monday Number.

Speaker 2: 26:00

Yeah, I really like the name too, and it's funny because this is one where I almost was like, am I listening to this one that I picked, or like the Dare song that you picked?

Speaker 2: 26:09

Because they're very similar to each other in a way. But yeah, this is just another kind of. I find it like addicting in a weird way, like the more I listen to it, the more I want to listen to it, even though there's nothing particularly like I don't know, there's nothing that stands out about it immediately to you, right, but something about it, you know. It's off of an ep called deep clean your house, which I think is really funny and I I kind of understand it, because I feel like this is the type of music you could just put on in the background and just get into a repeatable task like deep cleaning your house, you know next thing you know, every line of grout is perfectly white your house sparkles because you're listening to this EP and I also really just love like what he.

Speaker 2: 26:56

You know what. Keep singing. Stop what you're doing now. Get off your high horse Another phrase that we probably very often want to shout at people, so I like it for that element too.

Speaker 1: 27:07

Yeah, this one immediately reminded me of the Depeche Mode song. I Just Can't Get Enough.

Speaker 1: 27:13

That's sort of like the beat that it had with it, and so I thought for a second I was like, are they sampling this? Like where are they going with this? Then the beat sort of diverges in kind of a weird way and then sort of comes back together. So I thought it was to your point about like why do I keep? Why is this sucking me in? I think it's got a really interesting, interesting construction to it, Like it kind of draws you in a little bit and it has that sort of through line beat. So, um, yeah, really, really I mean similar to um, kind of the Lindsey Stirling track earlier. It's just kind of a unique song, right, like I can't really compare it to anything else. Um, but that's the closest thing I could find was that Depeche Mode song. But yeah, well done.

Speaker 2: 27:56

All right, your last pick here, song that comes in just under a minute. We talked about songs getting shorter and shorter, but this is Bande do Brunel by Bruno Mars.

Speaker 1: 28:08

Yeah, I can't really explain this one. Right, it's Bruno Mars. It's in Portuguese, I guess he's talking about partying in Brazil, and I mean talk about just showing up, bringing a ton of energy and getting out, right, right, like that's all this is. But you could put this hit the repeat button on this one. You want to talk about deep cleaning your house, like you're going to deep clean your house, you're going to take care of the house next door, you're going to knock out the cars, like the whole thing. Right, you can do a lot of cleaning. Okay, if you just hit this one on repeat. Um, but, yeah, it is. It is very short.

Speaker 2: 28:45

I don't know where this came from, but I I thought it was awesome I agree, yeah, this one had to have been built for social media, right like. I feel like that had to have been a conversation of like hey, we're gonna be touring in brazil, let's like produce a song, you know yeah, and if you translate the lyrics, it's just about partying in brazil, right? Exactly, but I agree with you like it, I loved it, like it's an odd song in a way, but I, I loved it like I really.

Speaker 2: 29:11

Yeah, you could just put that on repeat and keep listening to it three, four times and then it'd be the length of a normal song.

Speaker 1: 29:16

Yeah at first I was like that's only a minute, should I leave it on here? And then I'm like no, you know what? No, this is staying. This is staying on here. It's too good. I'm glad you kept it all right. Your last pick it is called okay, okay, okay, by fits and the tantrums yeah, there's not much to say about this song.

Speaker 2: 29:35

it is in the sense that it's like, if you like Fitz and the Tantrums, you're going to like this song. Like that's like the summation of basically everything that they produce. It's not an insult, it works for them right, it absolutely works for them.

Speaker 1: 29:49

We talk about this all the time. If you have a winning formula, stick with that winning formula.

Speaker 2: 29:55

Exactly, exactly. As long as it keeps winning for you like, don't change it you don't need to change it, don't overthink it, don't overthink it yeah, exactly, and I I think that's exactly what's happening here. Um, because it's got all the classic things right, like high energy voice, you know, high energy beat got the hand clapping they love a good hand clap like super earworm chorus. Um, it's, it's, they've got a song called hand clap, they love it so much literally do yes, so it's great, it's great fun um, yeah, I think you're exactly right.

Speaker 1: 30:31

I love how we kind of picked, put our you know two high note songs, if you will, at the end of this track back or at the end of this mix back to back. But yeah, there's just kind of not much to the lyrics here. You know, put your hands up. You know you want to dance, nah, nah, nah, and we're out right, like it's perfect.

Speaker 2: 30:51

They're almost like the Black Eyed Peas of like alt rock. You know like they're that's a great analogy. Like there's not much happening in their music, but like we keep listening to them anyway, there's not a deeper philosophy here.

Speaker 1: 31:09

Right, right, but it's like man aren't you happy now?

Speaker 2: 31:19

And it's like, yeah, I guess I am Right, yeah, I hate to say it, but yes, I actually am.

Speaker 1: 31:22

That is a great analogy. They are the black eyed peas of whatever genre you want to put them in.

Speaker 2: 31:27

Yeah, exactly.
