00:01:26   up to Radiohead and can you get a fair [TS]

00:01:28   yeah not a huge welcome can you guess [TS]

00:01:30   the reason why I just I was way over [TS]

00:01:33   Radiohead and I was fucking tired of [TS]

00:01:35   hearing about how great Radiohead was [TS]

00:01:38   but more importantly how I had to we [TS]

00:01:40   have to listen to the radio head right i [TS]

00:01:42   was so i like that i like the creep song [TS]

00:01:44   you know objected to being told that if [TS]

00:01:46   that if you didn't like them you weren't [TS]

00:01:48   smart [TS]

00:01:49   yes and ever that I wasn't you know it's [TS]

00:01:51   what it would be like it's weird it's [TS]

00:01:53   like in 10 [TS]

00:01:54   it's like admitting you don't read books [TS]

00:01:56   or something yeah well you know I i had [TS]

00:01:59   a my Radiohead like moment i was i was [TS]

00:14:09   Zeppelin era where people really talked [TS]

00:14:11   about it with the beatles I mean think [TS]

00:14:12   about all the birds that they shagged [TS]

00:14:16   when shagging birds was a thing you [TS]

00:14:19   could do and then Paul McCartney marries [TS]

00:34:33   you turn me down in the mix like I like [TS]

00:34:36   my parts to be lower in the mix like the [TS]

00:35:28   interested I think maybe death of the [TS]

00:35:29   like the big four is like a little [TS]

00:35:31   overrated [TS]

00:35:32   I think they're gonna do I think they're [TS]

00:35:34   a little I think they're little campy [TS]

00:35:35   compared to the other stuff of the time [TS]

00:35:37   here's what maybe that is megadeth is a [TS]

00:35:39   jar of pre-mixed ketchup and mayonnaise [TS]

00:35:43   expression is stressing well but but not [TS]

00:35:46   mixed like master master day is not [TS]

00:35:49   mixed together like so that its kind of [TS]

00:35:51   light orange i'm talking about mixed [TS]

00:35:53   together like that peanut butter and [TS]

01:00:03   that I've got I doubt this took me a [TS]

01:00:05   long time to learn i'm sorry i was not [TS]

01:00:06   i'm talking about how creepy i think i'm [TS]

01:00:09   not encouraging Cape i'm encouraging [TS]

01:00:11   that we say what these fucking seduction [TS]

01:00:14   community douche bags are well the thing [TS]

01:00:16   about seduction is that it is in [TS]

01:00:18   position in the community it's not [TS]

01:00:19   seduction to community it's more about [TS]

01:00:21   the forum the seduction it's more about [TS]

01:00:23   the you know leveling up [TS]

01:00:25   yeah yeah anyway let's not get into that [TS]

01:00:27   but here's my rule my room after year [TS]

01:00:29   and again one of my rules is this [TS]

01:00:32   be careful where you met that person [TS]

01:00:34   this is going through my head the entire [TS]

01:00:37   time I was thinking about the nose [TS]

01:00:38   before after never mind that you are you [TS]

01:00:40   purchase this was during nevermind [TS]

01:00:44   this is like fall it was simultaneous [TS]

01:00:46   sweater weather was a sweater weather [TS]

01:00:48   sweater weather so we're talking about [TS]

01:00:49   nevermind and 10 by program has been [TS]

01:00:52   released and wagon desk they have not [TS]

01:00:54   swept the nation yet how was that man [TS]

01:00:58   that lasts like the pregnant moment [TS]

01:01:00   after that summer like I just didn't [TS]

01:01:04   know where to turn there are so many [TS]

01:01:04   records i loved oh my god that was an [TS]

01:01:06   amazing time that wasn't you know [TS]

01:01:07   there's a golden age of indie rock maybe [TS]

01:01:09   not for the kind of shit you listen to [TS]

01:01:10   but for me I think of it like is this [TS]

01:01:12   mad or merge era but there is this [TS]

01:01:14   period from about i want to say pavement [TS]

01:01:17   was your very heavy yeah but for me too [TS]

01:01:19   but also like god this is so fucking [TS]

01:01:21   boring [TS]

01:01:21   it's really boring wonder we start [TS]

01:01:23   talking what we're like nobody cares [TS]

01:01:24   about music John everything record store [TS]

01:01:26   people there are even record stores [TS]

01:01:28   running horse people want to talk about [TS]

01:01:29   facebook and vampire shows here's my [TS]

01:01:32   rule is not you like guided by voices we [TS]

01:01:34   couldn't we could have just said that I [TS]

01:01:36   don't know why this is such a problem [TS]

01:01:37   for you to like sliding out of voices I [TS]

01:01:39   know you're not a fan [TS]

01:01:40   did you watch the video to watch the [TS]

01:01:41   video to watch the video i watched the [TS]

01:01:43   vid what you think it's fine but stick [TS]

01:01:46   of his expression it's fine okay little [TS]

01:01:51   shack I'm gonna find out the proven to [TS]

01:01:53   that when we land I give up [TS]

01:01:55   Amy and I see not any man i'm gonna keep [TS]

01:01:58   a distance I know she'll never like [TS]

01:01:59   really hoping this thing we've learned i [TS]

01:02:01   would strike up a kind of friendship see [TS]

01:02:03   that one up for me that's a level-two I [TS]

01:02:05   mean to me that would be hard frenching [TS]

01:02:07   and I'd stop it there because that's [TS]

01:02:08   that's getting John you know what I [TS]

01:02:10   don't encourage your ping-pong [TS]

01:02:11   doc here's the rule the rule is be [TS]

01:02:13   careful where you met somebody yeah okay [TS]
