Hey, discos, need a little more Disgraceland in your life, just to touch to get you through. Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland, the after Party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode, a little thing we like to call the after party. This is the show after the show, the party after the party. It's the bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard, to dig into the dirt, and our mission is to uncover the truth and to confront the myth and to reclaim the story. On this bonus episode, we're taking a walk through New York to some of the coolest rock and roll history addresses with Bob Dylan and Sid Vicious, the
Rolling Stones, Marty Scorsese, Miles and Iggy Jackson and Nico Yoko, John, the IRA, the FBI, and more, plus your voicemails, tech emails, comments, dms, and as always a whole lot of Rosie. This is the podcast for the musically obsessed, the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. Disgraceland is where I tell the stories they didn't want told, the kind that you'll end up telling somebody else. All Right, this goes, let's get into it, guys.
I am here, And if you're hearing an extra pep in my step this morning, it's because I got this new recording, sitch, and I'm really liking the way I sound. From me honest with you. Oh, we had some Sonic Youth noise stuck in our phones for the last couple of weeks. We couldn't figure out what the hell it was.
I feel like we have hopefully sounds good to me. Anyways, I hope it sounds good to you. I' psyched to be talking to y'all. I was thinking about Sonic Youth this morning in the context of the story that we just told this week, and specifically about the concept of cool. You were just the coolest. They knew they were the coolest.
They sounded the coolest, look the coolest. Didn't seem to care if we thought they were the coolest or not either, And you know that's a hallmark for being cool, not giving a shit. So they weren't just one of the coolest New York bands of all time, which is saying something. They were one of the coolest bands of all time.
They influenced so many groups, so many artists, so many writers, hell even podcasters like yours. Truly, there is some unfortunate scandal. Drama, really not so much scandal. I guess I don't know. Kind those two words are kind of they kind of mean the same thing. At the tail end of Sonic Youth's story, talking of course about Thurston Moore is a fair in betrayal of his bandmate and wife, Kim Gordon, who is beloved by fans, and that betrayal likely means that Sonic Youth's story is indeed dead, as dead as Nancy Spongent in the Chelsea Hotel. Nancy is never coming back, and neither is Sonic Youth. Nancy's death, her murder by well, we still don't know who murdered her. Most people believe sid Vicious did it. Others believe it was drug dealer,
a fixture on the downtown scene whose name shehall go unmentioned here in this podcast, because well, he's still out there in any event. Nancy Spongeen's death in Room one hundred at the Chelsea Hotel on West twenty third Street in October nineteen seventy eight is a mythic New York rock and roll event. Now, Nancy wasn't that influential. She was cool, I guess, but she wasn't in a band, and she wasn't influential in the way that Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth was influential is influential, or in the way that her Sex Pistols boyfriend said Vicious was influential.
She died in the Chelsea Hotel. Like I said, Now, if you walk outside the Chelsea and you continue onto this New York Sonic Youth cool thing walking tour that we're about to embark upon, and you head over to Eighth Avenue and then south for about a mile, you're going to run into Bank Street. And that's where Sid Vicius died. It was a couple months later, and I believe he died from a hot shot given to him from his mother in a mercy kill. That happened at sixty three Bank Street in the West Village. And that happened, like I said, a few months later, in February of nineteen seventy nine. Now, Sid's death took place steps away from one oh five Bank Street, and that's where John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived between the years nineteen seventy
three and nineteen seventy five, so a couple years before sid Visius died. On at Bank Street, John Lennon and Yoko Owner lived there nineteen seventy three to nineteen seventy five. This is the era when the FBI was tapping their phone and everyone remembers John and Yoko living in the posh Dakota building uptown, but before they fully settled into the bourgeois lifestyle that's so angered and triggered John's assassin, Mark David Chapman, John and Yoko slummed it in a two room, one bedroom apartment on Bank Street. That's where John entertained Black panthers and Ira gun runners. It's also where he was robbed and had his TV stolen in That really pissed John Lenon off because John Lennon loved
that TV set. He also loved his buddy Bob Dylan. Now Bob Dylan lived a short walk away a bit further south in the village at ninety four McDougall Street now McDougall is where Bob was sitting on a stoop when he spotted aj Weberman one afternoon in nineteen seventy one, Bob chased him on foot over to Elizabeth Street and proceeded to beat the shit out of aj Weberman. Now Elizabeth Street is where the most rock and roll movie director of all time grew up, Martin Scorsese. Marty based Mean Streets on his formative experiences in that neighborhood, like hearing the Rolling Stones is Jumping Jack Flash for the first time Now. That song was released in nineteen sixty eight.
Thirteen years later, The Rolling Stones would film a music video for another song, Waiting on a Friend, on an apartment stoop, just a few blocks away at ninety six Saint Mark's Place. Ninety six to ninety eight Saint Mark's is also the address of the building on the cover of Lead Zeppelin's nineteen seventy five album Physical Graffiti. Don't ask me how that happened. I don't know. I do know that this building is on the same block as nineteen dashed twenty five Saint Mark's, which is where the DOM was located. The Dom means home in Polish. The DOM was home to the Velvet Underground in nineteen sixty six.
It's where they brought out their whip for Andy Warhol, and it's where Jackson Brown hooked up with Nico. Nico later hooked up with Iggy Pop when Iggy first arrived in New York City in late nineteen sixty nine with the Stooges. Now, if you take public transport uptown from Saint Mark's, about sixty or so blocks on the west side, you're going to find two ten West seventieth Street. That's where Anganos was. Angano's was the place where Iggy Pop's Stooges set up a multi night residency in nineteen seventy.
Miles Davis lived around the corner at three twelve West seventy seventh. Miles saw those early Stooges shows. He was there. He was hanging out with them backstage, Hoover and up lines of blow Miles Davis the Stooges. Can you believe that Miles was far fucking out? I can believe it. Miles' Upper West Side home was nearby Birdland, which was just south on Broadway down on fifty second Street. Birdland is where Miles got his face beat in by a racist cop.
That was in nineteen fifty nine. New York City took Miles's cabaret card, which effectively banned Miles from playing music live in the city. In response, Miles headed just south of Midtown to two oh seven East thirtieth and hold up in Columbia's thirtieth Street Studio, And when he emerged six months later, Miles Davis did so with a masterpiece, Sketches of Spain, one of the coolest albums of all time.
Take that Racist Cop, And thus concludes our New York Sonic Youth Cool Thing Walking Tour. We hope you enjoyed it. Please remember to tip your guide on your way out, and you can do so by becoming an all access member of Disgraceland. And when you do, you're gonna get Zeth and I later in this exclusive section of this year After Party, discussing one of the wilder events for music history, an event that I just breezed by here, and it was that time I'm the Bob Dylan chase down one of his stalkers and beat the piss out of him in the middle of the day, right there in downtown New York. Now this event is part of our larger Bob Dylan Part two story, but it's so insane it deserves a deeper conversation. So that's a Zeth

All right, Sonic Youth, Thurston was there, man, you know it? Speaking of Bob Dylan and Thurston More. Hold on, I need a break. That was a lot.
I kind of went for it. There you guys still with me? I hope, so I need some coffee. Hang on. I was thinking of Thurston More and Sonic Youth, and I was thinking of all these incredible characters at the same time in New York City, Thirst and More, Saucid Vicious, Thirst and More. Sau said Vicious. Where was the famous Sid show Max's Yes, he was there as I put in our episode, and I I just loved the idea that you have this, this this wild connection between the modernity of Sonic Youth in the eighties, Downtown Cool to Sid, Vicious and Nancy to John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Marty Scorsese, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin. I just it's just fascinating to me. It's all kind of right there. It's amazing
I'm not telling anything anybody anything.
They don't know.
It's just when you put it in this context, it strikes me as being incredibly compelling. Bob Dylan moved after that event with Weberman, a J. Webman. He moved out of New York to West Coast, to the West Coast to Los Angeles, Malibu. That's when that part of his life started. But of course he came back to New York and like I said, you get thirston More there in the eighties. I was imagining, as I was putting this all together in my head this morning, I was imagining Bob Dylan kicking Thurston Moore's ass. Not now, but like in nineteen eighty five, like nineteen eighty five, thirst and More. You know, back in the day, Thurston More Sonic Youth is just starting to take off downtown, Thurston's hot shit. Dylan's back in the city for whatever reason,
and he somehow encounters Thurston, who acts duche sheet to Dylan. Maybe they're at Bleaker, Bob's arguing over who get their hands on the vinyl copy of Sunrise Jazz and Silhouette first. Thurston gets cute says something like, you haven't written a good song since. Blinded by the light, Bob hauls off cracks him right there in the experimental jazz section. Thurston gets up, grabs a first pressing copy of Joy Divisions, Unknown Pleasures off the wall, and he frisbees it at Bob's head. Bob Ducks grabs a stack of Mitch Miller records from the Discount Been hurls those at Thurston, and then Bob just pulls up his hoodie, ducks out onto West Third, walks away into the UH, into the into the New York sunset. Kinda kind of wouldn't wouldn't mind
seeing that happen. It didn't happen. It's not gonna happen. Yeah, maybe did. We don't know about it anyway? Where was I? Yes, Sonic Youth in the feed this week coming up in the rewind slot right after this our episode on Jazz Buckley, our classic episode on Jeff Buckley. Then next week our new episode on Wendy OH Williams. The Wendy O Williams episode.
It's a shocking story. It's a sad episode. It's a revealing episode. It's a rock and roll episode, and kind of like this episode, it's a new York episode New York in the nineteen seventies. It's all about the cost, the cost that artists, real artists sometimes have to pay. Rock and roll is a filthy, fucking business and it will break your heart if you're not careful. And when you're listening to the Wendy o Williams episode, be thinking about her on stage antics and think about all the shows and concerts that you've seen in your life, maybe some recently, maybe some back in the day, who knows, and be thinking about what the craziest thing that you ever saw and artist do on stage was. That's going
to be the question of the week. What's the craziest thing you've ever seen and artist do on stage? Six one seven nine oh six six six three eight voicemail and text. I want to know let me know. You might hear yourself on next week's after party. Don't go anywhere, guys, I'll be right back after this with your comments, emails, text, voicemails and more. Six one seven nine h six sixty six three eight voicemail and text. I'm in the phone booth.
It's the one across the hall. I'm not hanging out with Debbie Harry she's in a VW bug with Ted Bundy somewhere. What are we talking about? We're talking about all kinds of stuff, guys. And that's what I love about our conversation. It's all over the flip and map, it's all connected to music, it's all connected to true crime.
All right, let's hear from Laura in the five eight five.
Hey, this is Laura from the five eighty five. Just had to call you out after hearing for the third time you ends up talk about the lyrics like Jones on the box being from the Weight. It is not. It is from up on Creek. So anyway, you had me ranching the sitre this morning while I was walking my dog, So just wanted to call you to set the record straight. Rock and Roll.
Keep up the good work, Laura.
You're absolutely right. I I'm just going with faith here that you're right. I know this is up on Cripple Creek. That I meant, I could have mentioned the weight. I meant up on Cripple Creek. Damn, man, we're talking a lot. We're talking a lot of shit, and uh yeah, we mess things up from time to time, as you know.
And I appreciate the correction. Thank you, Laura Spike Jones on the box from the Great Band on their great song The Weight written by the Staples, and I'm kidding, I'm fucking with you, of course up on Cripple Creek. Thanks for the call, Laura. Let's check in with the four one four, Hey Chase, Oh man, It's so very hard to narrow it down to just four musicians that died too young.
So I had to make outside of the twenty seven clubs because I feel like a lot of people know.
Those They're big names.
But that's why any wine House and Janis Joplin are not on my list. So here we go, all right.
My four would be Otis Reddick, Dwayne Almon, Katie Klein, and the Grievous.
Angels himself Grand Parsons.
I really enjoyed listening to the pod.
I've been listening for many, many, many years, and.
It's just a delight to be in this community with so many other youth lovers and learn.
So much about.
Stories we may not know and some that we already do.
So thanks for what you do. Four one four, Thank you for this message. This is a great way to think about it. You can't you can have a mount Rushmore of artists who died too young, and you can't use any from the twenty seven club. I love that. And what a selection here to otis Redding, Patsy Kleine Grand Parsons and Dwayne Almond. That's that's I'd pay to see that. Where would we put it? Which state? All right, let's go to the nine to seventy.
Just finish your Ian Watkins episode, which I wasn't really sure if I wanted to listen to knowing just.
The small but most awful details of the story. I did, and I was surprised at how much detail.
You shared, and I was getting surprised and frankly suppressed that you were able to do so occasionally, I suppose, is what I want to say, though it feels ought to use.
That word, but more so in a way that.
Makes it worth talking about, helpful, productive to talk about, because I am a not how advocate professional, and I do believe that to protect the most vulnerable children, in this case literal babies, things like this, as horrific as they are to warrant.
Some full of investigation and structure. And I'm glad he's not around anymore.
And I'm glad that we were able to discuss it in.
A way that centers the victims anyway, I guess a great job, and thanks for sharing, all.
Right, nine seventy eight, Thanks so much. Yeah. Tough subject and one that I avoided for a really long time, if I'm being honest, just the subject of child abuse in general is something that I told myself early on. I didn't want to discuss just because I didn't want my head in that space. And I'm not sure other people want their heads in that space either, But I don't know. Something about the Ian Walkins thing was was so just compelled me to learn more and to learn more, until finally I was like, Okay, I have to write this, and I did, and I was very careful, as you could hear, and I appreciate you saying so. I was very careful with how I depicted what happened, and I was trying to be respectful to the victims. I did
receive a couple, from being honest, a couple of angry emails from folks, and I get it, and I get it. I get it, I get it. I get it. But I think that these stories, even though I don't want to tell them, all the time. I think they do deserve to be told, and I came at it hopefully with the proper level of sensitivity. All right, let's go to some texts, shall we. Lisa from the nine oh seven right said, Hey, the blockbuster album that didn't work for me was Dirt by Alice in Chains. I have no better reason than my boyfriend and future ex husband loved it. He ruined all grunge for me. Maybe I'll be able to appreciate it in a future decade or lifetime, but thirty years in I still can't. Lisa from the
nine oh seven I added that bit about the lifetime Lisa just having some fun man, and this sucks. This sucks. I would hate to have an entire genre of music ruined for me because of a shitty X. But Lisa, I appreciate the text. Sounds like you gotta get sense of humor about it. All right, Well we get this really?
I love this, I love this, I love this. I'm getting ahead of myself. This is from the four to four to roh uh four four roh texts and Matt Bodener are you listening, by the way? It says? Hey, double Elvis two suggestions for possible brackets over in Patreon Gangster Movies and Summer Songs. Loved the themes bracket and look forward to the next one. Now four four to Roh is referencing the bracketology the May madness that we had over in our Patreon regarding vintage sitcom theme songs, which that all came out of an argument that Zeth and I had in one of our podcast conversations. It was completely unplanned. But now that we've done it, and we had such fun doing it, although Matt Boden and I think he he had to take some sabbatical for
a little bit afterward because he puts so much time and effort into it. I kind of want to do it again, and I loved the result. I was shocked by the passionate response from the disgraced Land listeners and Hollywood land listeners too theme songs from television shows, and I totally get it. It's nostalg it's nostalgia and people that really motivates folks. But I think for four h these two categories for future brackets, Gangster movies and summer songs.
First of all, gangster movies, I'm right in that wheelhouse, right now I'm just I'm just consuming everything I can get my hands on that is that is Italian mafia. I've kind of moved beyond even all the bad shit and now kind of moving into like checking mafia stuff and just it's it's a whole sickness of mine, I guess.
But summer songs is great and it's apropos of course. I love the idea. Curious what you think. Anyone else wants to chime in, you can, I'm into it. Six one seven nine oh six six six three eight. Guys, let us know what you think. If you got any other bracketology subjects you'd like us to mine. The whole thing too. Just back to the sitcom music thing that we did. I've never been like a march madness guy.
I'm not into it at all. I like sports. I've just never been in a college basket. When my whole family does, they are they're all like and they all get the squares and all that stuff. Not me. But this year, I right now, actually I'm completely obsessed with NCAA baseball. In the tournament that happened that started two weeks ago and is still going on. We're down to the college world series now, and I think it was the sort of bracket madness that we started. I get just got it in my head, and then I was like, Okay, this is the thing I'm into now, Sure why not?
So it'd be fun to get into some gangster movie summer songs or something else that you guys suggest again six one seven nine oh six six six three eight voicemail and text to let us know all right The eighth two text in Jake KB from the eight oh two first let me say you. Owning in nineteen sixty eight Arracuda as a teen makes me tremendously jealous. My dream car is and always will be a seventy one Hemi cudah and black like the one in Phantasm. My first car was a seventy Dodge Darts Swinger I bought for five hundred bucks in nineteen ninety. Second Jesus Build My hot Rod is the best car song ever. Also, I didn't know about Gibe haynes involvement on that tune.
Just had to share my thoughts on these things. Rock a roll at eight o two, love it man, you know. On the Hemicuda, first of all, great taste and the all black I hear you the Dodge Dart nineteen seventy. I don't know if I mentioned this. I bought my sixty seven Barracuda off of my friend Dutch, who sold it to me because he had just purchased a sixty four Dodge Dart with the push button transmission. Just awesome era for cars. So cool. Hey, By the way, whoever emailed me about writing a book about cars and rock and roll? I emailed you back, and you know, I know you work for a real publisher, and you know I'm I'm interested in learning more, I should say, so get on back, all right? Two one six text in Hey,
The story of Glenn Schwarz from Pacific Gas and Electric is a wild one. Who's a founding member that James Gain and mentor to Joe Walsh. He went out west to join PG and E and enjoyed the lifestyle of a rock and roller, and then he found religion and went over the deep edge. Benually came back here to Cleveland and lived in his car for a while. In that car was a nineteen sixty seven Plymouth Barracuda. No I'm kidding. He'd play a bar in club shows here in the later years, often with his bass playing brother Jean was known to just break out into religious sermons at any given moment. Uh, Glenn Schors, Pacific Gas and Electric Interesting check that out. Thank you too. Six appreciate it and as always, I appreciate all of you, guys.
Six one, seven, nine oh sixty sixty sixty three eight voicemail and text at Disgracelampod on the socials disgrace Lampod at gmail dot com. I'm want to take a quick break. I'll be back on the other side with your emails and more. All right, guys, we are back. Happy to be here. Disgracelampod at gmail dot com. On the email machine, Delbert Brown sends us this email from parts unknown. What's up?
Disco's first and foremost is Lane Stay, But in true Top five fashion artists who make me stop and listen. Number one Lane Stay, It's a no brainer. Number two Chris Cornell Euphouria Morning is supped on. However, his entire discography is a lesson to any vocalist. Number three Janis Joplin, She was incredible. Number four Freddie Mercury, I don't really like Queen Man had some pipes on him. Number five, David Bowie. Can many artists transport you from the streets to utter space? Sad they aren't with us any longer, but we are truly lucky to be able to share the same space anytime we get to. Let one spin.
Love your work, buds, rock a rolla. That's from Delbert Brown. Delbert, we appreciate your email, Thank you very much. Delbert's email comes to us in response to our George Jones episode. George Jones, he of the great country voice and the question we asked, which artists with that golden set of pipes makes you just stop in your tracks? Sherry Wright writes to us again from Parts unknown. She says, Hey, I'd love to suggest an episode on the band you Rayah Heap. In the early seventies, they were the shit when it came to a blend of prague and hard rock.
Their album Demons and Wizards spawned a couple of hits, including easy Living, the track they are best known for. The line up for that album included one of the best male rock vocalists in my opinion, and it's a damn shame that he and the extremely talented members are largely unheard of by younger generations. Okay, you're Riyah Heat.
I get you, I hear you. I'm going to look into it. I can't say that I know much about Riyah Heat, except that I think Metallica was into them. Sherry, thank you for the email. We appreciate you. A lot of people write into me about Widow's Bay. I think it comes to an end. This week, as I'm recording this, I think, so I don't want it to end. I don't no one else. I don't want to come to an end these this film should be played loud podcasts that we're making. Every time we're doing it, I look up, it's like an hour's gone by, and I feel like we've just barely scratched the surface of what I want to talk about. We only do one of these a month, and it's got to stay that way. I'm not advocating for any more work, but I will say that I
have a blast making this show. And I've said it before and I'll continue saying it this We played Loud as a podcast about two of my favorite things, music and movies. In the combination of the two. It discusses one movie per episode and the soundtrack that accompanies that movie, all the great needle drops, perhaps the scoring, although it's mainly needle drops that we discussed. The last episode we covered was on Royal Tenant Baumbs. This new episode that we're covering is on Dazed and Confused, and we covered this because Dazed and Confused is the ultimate last day of school. Let's get the hell out of here, no more teachers, no more books. Movie that you can come up with, if there's an even close second, I'm all years.
Let me know, Matt, play the folks a clip and share with them what they might be missing if they're not All Access members and copying this content, which is video content, by the way, not just audio video. Matt, go ahead, play them a little bit. When they're chasing the freshman through town. It's an incredible card chase. Yeah, that's awesome. It's awesome. And dude, can we talk about that black truck there in Well, it's great that black truck is. I don't know what it is, but I just I want that truck. Actually i've seen I want to be a part of I want to be riding in that fucking truck is what I want to be. Yeah, in the launch chair on the back I think it's Chevy.
I can't recall. There's my wife loves old trucks, and she's trying to convince me to buy this f three point fifty from the nineties, which is incredible. I don't have the nostalgia for it because it's the nineties and it's literally the truck my stepfather used to drive, so I can kind of do that way, but it's not way, you know, but that chases it's too too fast on those roads. But then later when they're actually going to the Moon Tower and they're racing like that, that's completely authentic.
We would do that all the time. It's a bigger road like they're earlier part when they're going there truck chasing and they're fucking flying. Yeah, they're flying. It's crazy. It's crazy. All right. That's this film should be played loud. It's on Days and Confused, And that's the new episode that we have in your feed available for you now if you are an All Access member.
