Bonus Episode: We Are Starting Our Own Rock ‘n’’ Roll Hall of Fame

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, the bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other. The backyard, to dig into the dirt, our mission to uncover the truth, to confront the myth, to reclaim the story. On this bonus episode, all the things that annoy you about the rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So we're starting our own rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and we're getting into your answers to the question of the week from last week that's spun out of our Grace Jones episode, and previewing our next new episode on Depeche Mode, your 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 you'll end up telling someone else. All right, discos, let's get into it. Greetings, Disgraceland listeners. Happy to be talking to you today because it was announced this week that Oasis along with Wu Tang Clan, are being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in twenty twenty six. And I mentioned both of these groups, both of these nominees up front because I feel like of all the inductees, these two artists might have the most appeal to Disgraceland listeners. Actually, Joy Division Slash new Or was also inducted. I probably should have mentioned them up up front as well. Phil Collins, Billie Idol, Shade, Iron Maiden,

and Luther Vandros are also going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. The list of artists nominated who were not inducted, who aren't being inducted the snubs, if you will, is the following Black Crows, Jeff Buckley, Pink Shakira, Lauren Hill, Mariah Carey, and Melissa Ethridge. This process, the nomination process, the inductee process for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a head scratcher every year.

It feels like.

Someone's always upset, and I'm usually one of these people who's always upset. This constant source of frustration around rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees is for me, not so much who gets in and who gets snubbed. It's more about what is and what is in rock and roll. Now some people and no offense, but mainly really old people, people who came of age listening to rock and roll sort of before punk rock and before hip hop. A lot of these folks, not all of them, but a lot of them, often argue against inductees being nominated whose styles don't align to the more traditional guitar based rock and roll of the seventies, the sixties, the fifties, your Led Zeppelin's Eagles, that sort of thing, you know, more

traditional guitar based rock and traditional R and B and soul like your Otis Redding's, Aretha Franklin's, etc. So most of these folks don't think that hip hop or punk artists, or heavy metal artists like Iron Maiden, than any of these folks should be.

In the Hall of Fame.

Never mind pop artists who have been inducted, like Madonna or George Michael but I don't necessarily agree with that at all. My definition of who should and shouldn't be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame doesn't so much to do with genre or style. I don't think that shouldn't matter. Rock hip hop, pop, R and B quote unquote, rock and roll, rock and roll. It's not just two guitars and like a long haired front man up there singing on stage making records. It's to me, rock and roll is more just about popular music that young hip counterculture kids listen to rock and roll from its earliest days. It's an outdated term now, sure, but from its earliest days it was all about counterculture and the best of it.

No matter how.

Popular it was, it always adhered to this definition, this sort of combative anti authority type of thing. And if you were a combative anti authority type of kid, that's what you gravitated toward. So if you're listening to Wu Tang Clan when they first hit, or Nirvana or Madonna earlier, or the Fujis, yes, these artists were massively pop popular, but they were also a little bit dangerous, a little bit subversive, and young. Like I said, young hip kids.

No matter how suburban or normy. They may have been, or should I say we may have been. We were listening to cool bands, both mainstream and alternative. Okay, Nirvana super mainstream, also alternative. Madonna too, super mainstream, also super subversive. Both those bands, Nirvana and Madonna, despite guitars or pop music, whatever it is, they were listened to broadly across the counterculture in the same way that I don't know Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin were decades prior. It's the same thing to me now. I love Phil Collins and Shade, two artists who are going in this year, but.

Rock and roll. Come on, they're not rock and roll.

When I was a kid listening to again Nirvana, Madonnaanah Wu Tang, Phil Collins and Shade, that was music that my parents listen to, not me. Okay, you get it. This is my definition. I know you guys get it, you're smart, but that's just me. I want to know what you guys actually think specifically, Okay, I want you.

I want to know who do you think should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that is not six one seven nine h six six sixty three eight call me, leave me a voicemail or send me a text. Email me at Disgrace lamp Pod, hit me on the socials at Disgrace Lampod on Instagram, and what I want to do. Listen, Let's start our own rock and roll Hall of Fame, our own alternative indie millennial gen x with awesome classic boomer case of music, our own utopian rock and roll Hall of Fame. Okay, let's just use the rock and roll Hall of Fame criteria, just this one of having to have released your first music twenty five years ago to be nominated. Okay, that's that's their benchmark. And I like that benchmark twenty five

years since your first release. And let's induct music that we listened to when we were skipping school and we were drinking up by the railroad tracks and we were cruising around in our Volkswagen Jettas or in our cool friends uncle's muscle car or.

You know whatever.

This should be the criteria by which we are judging our rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Okay, as well as music that we bought on little plastic compact discs and cassettes and tower records that we read about and spin that we maybe read about for first before we read it, and Spin we read about them, and Maximum rock and Roll that we watched on Beavis and butt Head.

We watched vis about it to make fun of these artists.

We watched them on one hundred and twenty Minutes Headbangers Ball, heard them on Beverly Hills nine O two one oh or later on Dawson's Creek whatever it is.

You know the type of music I'm talking about.

Okay, let's induct the awesome musicians who aren't yet in the rock and Roll Hall of Fame and create our own little rock and roll Hall of Fame. I'll go first my first nominee. Okay, right here, Fugazi. Their influence is undeniable, and they'd probably insist on tickets for the ceremony being no more than five bucks and make it all ages event as conditions for their appearance. So this one would be subversive and just like I said, completely influential.

They deserve to be in there now. Next thing I want to do, I want to write this year is wrong right off the bat, and I want to put Jeff Buckley and.

Lauren Hill, who were both snubbed this year.

I want to put them in our Rock and Roll Hall of Fame again, both massively influential artists. If Coldplay, I swear to god, if Coldplay gets in before Jeff Buckley and if Shakira gets in before Lauren Hill, we are in trouble people. But that's just my own smart ass gen X bias. So Joy Division slash New Order.

Despite how much I can't stand the hybrid nature of the nomination, I get it, I understand it, and I love both. I mean it's really the same group, just different singer. I love Joydvision slash New Order. So score one for the eighties deserve they should be in.

Okay?

Can we score one for the nineties now though, and put Jane's Addiction in three all time classic no soh skip albums from Jane's Addiction plus the band's frontman started a music festival that defined pop culture in the early nineteen nineties, and in a lot of ways, it's still defining pop culture.

You know why Jaan's Addiction is not in?

This is my theory. The Hall does not want to have to deal with Perry Ferrell. Perry Ferrell is a lot, Okay, He's a handful, and I think They just feel like he's going to show up with like the Jim Rose circus in tow and like three methed out edm DJs trailing behind him when he.

Goes up to accept his award. That's what I think is going on here.

There's no excuse for why Jane's Addiction is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame compared to the other artists that are in, even Oasis, who I love, and I'm happy they're in there, but still Jane's addiction way just way more influential on pop culture, all right. In twenty twenty two, a Lotis morris Set declined an invitation to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, claiming that she didn't want to be part of an event that reduced women. And this is the exact reason Alanis Morissett needs to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What's the first rule of rock stardom? What's the first rule of being a rock star? The first rule of being a rock star is to be a rock star. Okay, I think

I just made that up, but you know what I'm saying, We should be celebrating the anti heroes in rock and roll. We should be celebrating the truly subversive as opposed to the boot lickers who are campaigning for votes behind the scenes. Next, Bikini Kill, because if you're going to nominate Melissa Ethridge and recognize the whole Lilith Fair influence on nineties pop culture, then you have to recognize the Riot Girl influence on that same decade.

And Bikini Kill is the.

Sonic boom of that moment. New York Dolls, New York Dolls, New York Dolls. I should have led with New York Dolls. New York Dolls might be of all the artists I've mentioned, yet, they might be the most influential.

Who is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

You don't get punk rock, guys without the New York for Dolls, and without punk rock, you don't get grunge, and you don't get whatever the hell it is we're listening to nowadays.

Okay, New York Dolls need.

To be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame full stop. Also, I'm from Boston, so forgive me Jay Giles band.

What are we doing? No love for Boston? Why? Why I'm biased. I know I am, but just listen.

You know how you got artists from your hometown and you know they're big, but you're so clouded by the context of being so close to them your whole life that you can't tell how big they are. That's what the Jay Giles Band is from me. On the one hand, they seem huge. I mean, Peter Wolf was married to Faye Dunaway, Okay, and at a time when Faye Dunaway was like, you know, at the absolute you know, pinnacle of the zeitgeist. So I don't know, I mean, but I still see, like you know, if you're from Boston, you know you run into Peter Wolf all the time. Anyhow, I just think Jay Giles Band, like, just okay, just try this for a test. Put the Jay Gaales Band on.

Next time you and your friends are hanging out partying, drinking you know, beer, shitty beer out of red solo cups and playing quarters or whatever. Put Jay Guiles on, Put centerfold on or freeze frame or must have got lost, and try not having a good time.

You cannot. It's impossible.

These these songs were stone cold hits, and these hits like number one hits, by the way, came after the band already had a decade of blowing faces out touring across America with the Stones, Thin Lizzie, Stevie Wonder and others.

Just put Jay Giles in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Make Peter Wolf happy.

Okay, Let's make the rock and roll gods happy here and induct the Replacements and Big Star on the same ballot. Ram went into the Hall in two thousand and seven. They wouldn't have even have been a band without the Replacements or Big Star. And while we're at it, Eric being rocking an Iced Tea both need to be in.

It's This is like a New York Dolls saying these guys they need to be in like last week.

It's hard. I can't imagine.

Nineties hip hop without either of these hip hop artists, and and any hip hop that came after these these, after Eric B and Rock.

Him and after Iced Tea would not be the same. Okay.

Their influence is massive, different types of influence completely. I can make an argument for Tri Tribe cloll Quest as well. Those those three records were everywhere. They were everywhere everywhere you went in the nineties. You would hear tribecloll Quest. Everyone listened to them, not just hip hop kids. The band truly crossed over. And if we're gonna have the Beastie Boys in the rock and roll Hall of Fame, and we absolutely should, we should have a tribe call Quest as well as well as Iced Tea and Eric being rock him. So what do you think of our little gen X millennial great taste in boomer music rock and roll Hall of Fame that we got going here?

I think it's shaping up pretty well. But then again, I don't really care because I'm a disaffected, latch key kid who's just, you know, riddled with apathy and indifference and whatever. Never mind, No, I do care. I'm kidding, and I want to know what you guys think.

Seriously.

I think that nineties music right now, there's already been a resurgence, but I think that resurgence is going to get even greater. I think the influence of nineties on popular culture it's it's really I think this is the beginning of its peak. But we got a ways to go, and I think we're going to start to see more music that I listened to as a kid in junior high and in high school and in college. I think we're going to start to see more of that influence on modern day pop culture. And I think a lot more of these artists are going to go into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in fairly short order, hopefully.

But again, I want to know what you guys think. Six one seven nine oh six six six three eight.

Grace Jones is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but she is the newest subject of Disgraceland because she was not just a multiiphon icon of the nineteen eighties, she is also a walking true crime. Her story is scary, it's harrowing, it's surprising. I didn't know a lot of this going into this story. It's also inspiring, and you can hear it now if you haven't already, as it is the latest episode in your feed right before this here bonus eep that we're doing right now that you're listening to that I'm creating that you're hearing right now.

albums of all time. Depeche modes Violator, It's just incredible.

And what else.

There's a recent depeche Mode live like concert film. I think it's called M Mode. Depeche Mode M is it called M I'm looking here and I can't quite tell, but.

I've seen it.

It's easy to get and it's great, and these guys are super old and they lost nothing nothing. And there's also the Depeche Mode one oh one, which I think that's the more classic depeche Mode concert film.

I don't know.

I'm gonna get in someto depeche Mode concert films this weekend. Delve into some proper rock stardom to get ready for Tuesday's episode. When you're listening to our new depeche Mode story, be thinking about their song Personal Jesus. Great song, A song that upset my mother to no end. That video, Oh my goodness, it it just drove her nuts. I still don't know why. When you're listening to depeche Mode and you're thinking about Personal Jesus, think about not their version, think about the Johnny Cash version.

It's such an.

Unlikely cover song. I remember when that came out, we were.

Like, what what the fuck?

It made no sense, But then again quickly it made all the sense in the world. My point is that it's a very unlikely cover, and I love unlikely covers, and I love the conversation around unlikely covers. And that's gonna be our new question of the week. That's gonna be we're gonna be talking about next week. So call me six one seven, nine oh six, six sixt three eight and let me know what songs you've come across in your music listening experience that are great unlikely covers.

I'm hanging on the telephone with all your beautiful Disgraceland listeners. This goes last week's question of the week in relation to our most recent episode on Grace Jones was which musicians do you love who made the transition to acting or which actors do you love who made the transition to music. Let's hear from Amy in.

The four one four.

Hey, Jake, this is Amy. I'm calling to tell you that my favorite actor slash musician is Tom White and he popped. There's two of them. They're both profees of Jim Jarmush, who is one of my favorite directors. I love the work that Tom White has done, and by love that Bill Die I think it is and other things, Oh dractul love he was amazing.

And Dracula.

He was actually the best actor in the nineties Dracula because really nobody else is very.

Good in it.

I think that answers your question, So have a great night.

Bye, Amy, Thank you for your message. I love Tom Waite so much.

You know, when I was making music back in the day, my dream was that if we ever got a big record deal, like a huge record deal. You know, this is the nineties when they spent millions of dollars on videos and we had a gigantic you know, if we were giving a gigantic video budget, my dream is to hire Tom Waits to act in our video sadly though it never happened.

But I am with you, I hear you.

I love Tom Waits and well for basically everything, but I love you mentioned a couple good roles, but I love him in The Outsiders as well. It's a brief, brief role, Buck Merril. He's also great as the limo driver in Robert Altman's shortcuts. Basically, anytime the guy comes on screen, I like you get excited.

So thank you for your call. Appreciate you.

Let's check out Abby from the five oh five on our question of great music memoirs.

Hey, Jake Tabby call in from the five oh five talking about great biographies. Of course, Keith richards autobiography is phenomenal and the all time classic Hammer of Gods led Zeppelin, and I really also enjoyed Zayan's conversations with Tom Petty oldies but goodies keep him coming.

Thanks Abby, thanks for the call. Keith Richard's life fantastic and all timer. In all the conversation however, that we've had over this week and last about great music memoirs, you are the first to bring up Hammer of the Gods, which what a controversial book when it came out. I think I was, I don't know, fourteen when I read that book. I should not have read it at fourteen.

I hope my kids don't read it at fourteen. That's a great one.

And I love I love, love love.

Tom Petty the book he did with Warren Zan's. It's fantastic. It's so good. Thank you for those recks. Let's hear from the four to eight.

Oh hey, Jake, this is Sue and Georgia responding to your requests for how we listen to podcasts. What podcasts we listen to. I prefer a storytelling podcast. I want to be told a story, a good story. My first was This American Life, and from there I have accumulated the number. I went to my favorite murder, which is How I found You several years ago, so Disgrace Plan and then Hollywood Land through that great storytelling. I enjoy them.

I'm way old. I'm in my seventies, so I don't know all the bands that you talk about, but I looked them up and I checked them out. You know, I had different takes, way different tastes. I'm a child of the sixties, so a lot of pop anyway, enjoy your show. Glad to have you on exactly right now and look forward to future stories. Take care soon.

Thank you, thank you for your message.

And yeah, we welcome fans of all music, of music from every generation. Sue, I want to I want to hit on this American life and the storytelling type of podcasting that we do here and that they do it exactly right and that we all love. And I think in a way, this American Life it was teaching us all how to tell stories. That podcast was and iraglass was before many of us even knew that this is what we would end up doing. So it's no surprise to me that our listeners, the great listeners like you, love this American life. It's it's it's kind of the big bang of storytelling podcasting.

It's fantastic.

Six one seven nine oh six six six three eight. You can call in like Sue and leave a message.

You can also text. All right, Let's check out this text from Miranda in.

The eight five six, Hey Jake, Miranda from South Jersey here. I don't know why people do this, but they do it, so I did. I just came across this website. I thought you'd appreciate it. Www Dot.

What should I read? Next dot com.

I know you're a reader as am I and always looking for recommendations, and I found the concept interesting. My personal favorite book is The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman. It's a thriller with a wild twist, and I think you'd like it. Also, I watched Tiller Russell's Waco doc. Hands down one of the best put together documentaries I've ever seen in my life. The parts with the helicopter footage showing the events and the story of the survivors we're describing it is wild. Thank you for making the best podcast on the planet, truly, and congratulations on the exactly right.

iHeart team up. That is amazing. Eight five six, Miranda, thank you so much. I love this resource. What should I read next? It looks cool.

I can't wait to delve into it a little more fully. The Lake of Dead Language is by Carol Goodman, a thriller with a wild twist. Right up my alley. This sounds awesome, And yes, Tiller's Waco doc on Netflix is absolutely incredible.

It's did you use.

The word harrowing so we used to describe it that that feels accurate If you didn't, That's how that's what I'm going to say about that. I'm kind of thinking about it now. I'm losing my thought here. Back to the text messages. Trip me up there, Miranda, appreciate you. Let's check out the four to one two. Hey, Jake, this is Heather the Yinser and I kind of have a first world problem. I've been off work the last several weeks and haven't had a chance to listen to see if you read any of my reviews on Spotify.

I usually listen to all your podcasts going to and from work, so that hasn't happened, and I'm about a month behind. And now I feel like Mickey Mouse and the fucking Fantasia. There's so many episodes to catch up on, so much of a good thing. Can you tell me if you read any reviews from Heather the y Inser or Coropolis peeps, that's my old Spotify name. I'm dying to get my hands on a double Elvis T shirt or hat. Thanks in advance and rock a rolla. Heather appreciate you as always. No, we did not read one of your reviews, but you know what, Heather, email me or just respond here via text. Your shirt size I'll see what we got, and I will just take you at your word that you left a review, and I'll

send you something good. Peoples, what what is this? What?

Wait?

What's happening? People are getting stuff in the mail? What's Yeah?

Well, occasionally you guys leave reviews on Apple podcasts, and if I read the review here on the show and you hear your review, you get in touch six one seven nine oh six six six three eight via text or voicemail and send me your shirt size. Not saying you get a shirt. You might get a pin, you might get a sticker. Sometimes I send shirts, sometimes I send signed books. And the reason I do this is because the reviews help power discovery of the show. Super important.

Lou two four oh seven on Apple Podcasts, great content, Enjoy the pod, love the format.

Hey, Lou, get in touch. We'll get you some merch. See how easy that was.

Just go to Apple Podcasts and leave a review for disgrace sand and hold on, hold on. Some of you are saying, but wait, I left review and I haven't gotten anything in the mill yet. Alison, Marie Spencer and Rob McLean, You've got stuff coming your way shortly. Anyone else who left a review and heard it read back on the pod. Get in touch and we'll get you some merch. If you haven't left review, go for it and we'll get you some merch.

All right.

A two eight text in Hey Jake, this is Arwin from the eight to eight two answers for this week Crossover Artists answer. Tom Waits is my favorite crossover artists. His music and acting they are fantastic. That's two for Tom Waits, guys. Arwin goes on to say, when do I listen to podcasts? I often listen twice, once when I have insomnia and need to listen to True Crying to fall asleep, and then I listen again sometime in the next few days because I want to hear the episode while fully awake. I wonder if anyone else does this, well, Arwen, I'll tell you. I oftentimes fall asleep when I'm reviewing the mixes of Disgrace Land, and uh then I wake up and I finished the review.

It's the first time admitted that to anyone. Matt there you go. Don't take that personally.

Okay, who else we got here? Let's do a couple more of these texts. The nine oh seven rights in Hey, Jay, congrats to you and all the team at Double Elvis for joining with Exactly Right Media. It was Karen and Georgia the guided me to Disgraceland in the first place. How exciting to see what happens with my two favorite podcasts joined forces. Keep doing what you do in Lisa from the nine oh seven, Lisa, appreciate the support.

Thank you.

We are psyched on our partnership with Exactly Right and with Karen and Georgia from my favorite murder Ato three texts in Hey, fucking phenomenal Patti Smith episode. The way you told her story was just as badass as she is rock on. Thank you eight oh three. That was nice of you to say. Three two three Rights and Jake Jeff from the three two three The bar has been raised with the Patti Smith episode. You guys knocked it out of the park. You mentioned Jim Carroll a few times. Hopefully you have an episode brewing on Jim.

He's put out some great punk records and not to mention his book then the film Basketball Diaries. Yes, definitely have a Jim Carroll episode in the works, or at least on a list that'll be coming.

Thanks Jeff, appreciate you guys.

You knowwhere else is coming me and your emails and some recommendations on the other side of this break.

All right, guys, we are back, and I've sort of made.

A pledge in the last few weeks to do more recommendations, both here in the after Party music recommendations, we'll do some film and TV rex as well, but also with zath Over in his rap party episode in the Hollywood Land Feed. And we got into a really interesting discussion this week on great theme songs from films, which is a harder question.

To answer than you might think.

Excuse me, Matt, give the people a little bit of a taste of that conversation.

So let me jump on my picks here. My first one is I'm going to go the route that you try to avoid I think a little bit here, and I'm going to choose the song Weird Science by Oingo Boingo.

That's a great one actually from John Hughes. I would listen. I would listen to that on purpose. I would this.

I mean it comes so it's on that it was written for that movie, the John Hughes movie, but it's also on Oingo Boingco's Dead Man's Party, which I fucking love that album. That's God.

I don't know that record.

Oh you don't know what has dead Man's Party, which is awesome. Just Another Day is on that stay. It's incredible, It's incredible.

You need that in life, all right? All right?

I think I don't think it was their last I think it was like midway through. But for those who don't know, Oingo Boingo is Danny Elfman's band from the eighties. This like strange. How would you define them? They're like an art pop kind of bands.

Exactly like in the world of Talking Heads, but weirder and more more kind of dance oriented and just.

Even more so than Talking Heads.

Yeah, and weird Science is fantastic. I'm so pissed. I didn't think of that. That movie is so so.

Huge in my in my formative years that I bombed.

I didn't think of that.

I picked up this really cool box set recently called Life Moves Pretty Fast. It's like five records and it's all the songs from John Hughes movies. So it's like Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club sixteen, everything wow, and including like they famously never released an official soundtrack for Ferris Bueller, which has a bunch of cool shit on it. So anyways, shout out to that. All right, My next song here is that thing you do, the theme to the nineteen ninety six Tom Hanks film about the fictional band The Wonders.

This was written, of course by Adams slashing air. Debatable, fountains of Wayne, Oh yeah, debatable, oh shit. All right, So Mike Viola the great, one of the great voices of all time. In my opinion, my humble opinion, Mike Viola sings this song.

And had something it had something to do with the writing, but it was incredit wasn't credited.

Totally, and there's some moments that totally feel like Mike moments that.

Yeah, that songs great and thank you for reminding me that I need to show my kids that movie, so damn good. All right, guys, you're gonna want to hear that convo with Zeth and I. It's some great theme song recommendations over in the hollywood Land Rap Party, make sure you're subscribe to hollywood Land and Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. We're releasing content over there. It's it's you know, it's music guys talking about movies and true crime in Hollywood History, and hollywood Land is helm by my partner in true crime, Zeth Lundy. We got three episodes hitting every week over there, and there's always a music connection to everything that we talk about. To further fuel or as the manifestation I

should say, of the fuel that is our music in movie fascination, Zeth and I have another podcast, a video podcast exclusively video called This Film Should be Played Loud, which looks at the greatest scores in soundtracks from music history. The last one was on The Big Lebowski. The next one is on High Fidelity. Go to disgrace lampod dot com to sign up to become an all Access member so that you can watch this Film Should Be Played Loud.

Speaking of recommendations, the new song of the week recommendation. The new song that I am recommending for old heads like me is end of Beginning by Joe. That's DJO and I'm not gonna Lie. I hated this song the first time I heard it, but my kids wore me down.

They love it now.

My kids also love Harry Nilsen and Fugazi and Weird Al and Mister Fantasy, so they got pretty great taste. Joe the artist is also Steve from Stranger Things, the actor Joe Keery. So this this recommendation makes perfect sense for this week because of our Grace Jones episode. We're talking about actors and who made the transition from acting to music and vice versa. So Joe Djo end of beginning.

That is my new song recommendation for this week. The old song that I'm recommending this week. Okay, the old song is misunderstanding by Phil Collins for a couple reasons. One, it was just announced that Phil Collins is going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Two, as lame as I thought Phil was as a kid, I have late in life on set Phil Collins appreciation disease and I love this damn song. I've probably listened to this song more than any other single song in the past twelve months, and that's saying something. Now listen, I get it. Phil Collins is lame. Phil Collins is shit that your math teacher listened to when he couldn't find his lame ass. Jimmy Buffett CED's Phil Collins is

the dude who looks like your uncle Rick. If your uncle Rick was even lamer than he already is. Phil Collins was in Genesis, and the only thing lamer than Genesis is Phil Collins. According to your twelve year old MTV watching eyes, Phil Collins is even lamer than Peter Gabriel. And that is no easy thing to do. But here's the thing. What I'm saying, all these years later is that Phil Collins is the shit, and this old song needs to be listened to. With new years, new shit has come to light. Dude, misunderstanding by Phil Collins, Give it a spin. After end of beginning by Joe, got a new song you want to recommend to me and your fellow discos, how about an old song? Six one seven nine oh six six six three eight, All right, listen,

Speaking of the Hall of Fame, the rock and roll Hall of Fame, Zeth and I made some predictions and boy, oh boy, it was a thing.
