word microaggressions when people first

razor Mason's but the oh and we made it
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
we made a terrible mistake about about
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
the knights of columbus and that I was
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
corrected on that very intelligently I
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
didn't but well no you didn't but I did
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
there there there there a Catholic group
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
there's nothing lead over to you and
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
here's the problem you and I sometimes
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
understanding very understand something
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
very well in life and in our head and
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
then somehow we each manage to say the
[TS]
00:57:15
◼
►
exact opposite of what the true thing is
[TS]
00:57:17
◼
►
that we improving though we know better
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
because we have a kind of intellectual
[TS]
00:57:21
◼
►
dyslexia

[TS]
00:57:44
◼

is is presented as a public service
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
organization which is smart
[TS]
00:57:48
◼

[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
introduced to the group like sponsored
[TS]
00:57:51
◼
►
if you like again like AAA yeah and then
[TS]
00:57:54

moment and I thought that you would I

thought that'd be a thing that you would
[TS]
01:12:19
◼
►
love also i mean i think about this from
[TS]
01:12:22
◼
►
my own point of view today there's a few
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
things that are more insufferable than
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
allowed audience screaming
[TS]
01:12:28
◼

enthusiastically for something you've

[TS]
01:12:33
◼

I'm trying not to be that guy because
[TS]
01:12:35
◼

I've been that guy and I've been on the
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
other end of that I've been on the other
[TS]
01:12:38
◼

end of that but I mean like there's
[TS]
01:12:39
◼
►
something like on a show like that much
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
especially with let's be honest with a
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
guy coming out
[TS]
01:12:43
◼
►
I mean that's that was probably that was
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
probably not the best place for him to
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
be but it but it was a triumph for him
[TS]
01:12:51
◼
►
right in the it in that he was able to
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
Akita invite arrived he had he was
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
finally on the Carson show and and i
[TS]
01:13:00

[TS]
01:13:01
◼
►
from Morrissey when he was like I am
[TS]
01:13:03
◼
►
tired of being this successful with no

01:13:11
◼
►
I'm I'm so we
[TS]
01:13:14
◼

the position where success at this level

[TS]
01:13:55
◼

went on underwent a transformation in a
[TS]
01:13:58
◼
►
way that like lanell had a certain
[TS]
01:14:01
◼
►
onstage quality that he retains to this
[TS]
01:14:06
◼
►
day he'll easily was like the talented
[TS]
01:14:08
◼
►
dork at the talent contest but like he'd
[TS]
01:14:11
◼

never really seemed like he was that
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
happy to be up there but he was kind of
[TS]
01:14:14
◼
►
smirk smiling adorable and looking at
[TS]
01:14:18
◼
►
the camera to a certain degree like the
[TS]
01:14:20
◼
►
immigration he was officially recognized
[TS]
01:14:22
◼
►
he was sort of the frontman of that era
[TS]
01:14:24
◼
►
and he was a he was he was present in
[TS]
01:14:30
◼
►
what was what he was experiencing and
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
and still is in the same way but flans
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
early on never looked at the camera like
[TS]
01:14:37
◼
►
if you look at that Carson thing he is
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
not looking at the camera at all and
[TS]
01:14:42
◼
►
he's doing his he's doing his flans
[TS]
01:14:45
◼
►
thing and kind of not in the background
[TS]
01:14:47
◼
►
exactly but like he's herky-jerky and
[TS]
01:14:50
◼
►
he's that was part of it the bit that
[TS]
01:14:53
◼
►
like if you don't like a like a there's
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
somebody like kind of bits visually for
[TS]
01:14:57
◼
►
them that were part of their thing like
[TS]
01:14:59
◼
►
the big head guy and all that but also
[TS]
01:15:00
◼
►
in all their videos there's a lot of
[TS]
01:15:02
◼
►
deliberately like meta herky-jerky dance
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
moves that are clearly to me like meant
[TS]
01:15:08
◼
►
to be like an art like art rock it's a
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
parody of rock and roll and it's like
[TS]
01:15:14
◼
►
that you know i love the they might be
[TS]
01:15:15
◼
►
giants invented the term past the dude
[TS]
01:15:17
◼
►
that we use to this day like when crowd
[TS]
01:15:19
◼
►
surfing first became a thing I think
[TS]
01:15:21
◼
►
when I would refer to it as past the
[TS]
01:15:22
◼
►
dude and like I still use that term like
[TS]
01:15:24
◼
►
they had this like not a little
[TS]
01:15:26
◼
►
overwhelming but but
[TS]
01:15:28
◼
►
their distance from like the mainstream
[TS]
01:15:30
◼
►
rock stuff and insulin insulin era
[TS]
01:15:32
◼
►
friends were do that you know you it was
[TS]
01:15:35
◼
►
it was a tongue-in-cheek but now you can
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
see the life he legitimately just
[TS]
01:15:38
◼
►
fucking rocks out whatever that
[TS]
01:15:41
◼

transition was like not all of us say
[TS]
01:15:44
◼
►
pass the dude
[TS]
01:15:45
◼
►
still I should make that well it's not
[TS]
01:15:47
◼
►
the thing that it was but but if you
[TS]
01:15:50
◼
►
took plans work out of those early they
[TS]
01:15:52
◼
►
might be giants moments and it was just
[TS]
01:15:55
◼
►
Linnell
[TS]
01:15:56
◼
►
Oh singing and playing the accordion it
[TS]
01:15:59
◼
►
we wouldn't say that this was nerdy art
[TS]
01:16:02
◼
►
rock right it would just be it would
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
there be something going on lil playing
[TS]
01:16:06
◼
►
the keyboard especially be closer to
[TS]
01:16:08
◼
►
like solo jonathan richman where be fun
[TS]
01:16:10
◼
►
and enjoyable it would be hard kind of
[TS]
01:16:12
◼
►
thing it would be pop right yeah right
[TS]
01:16:14
◼
►
and and but something and this is the
[TS]
01:16:17
◼
►
thing it was something happened in in
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
within the they might be giants dynamic
[TS]
01:16:21
◼
►
particularly in Flansburg a person I
[TS]
01:16:24
◼
►
know quite well that i do not i'm not
[TS]
01:16:27
◼
►
sure I was not following closely enough
[TS]
01:16:29
◼
►
to watch that transition and I think it
[TS]
01:16:30
◼
►
might have been when they added a live
[TS]
01:16:32
◼
►
band who wear flans took over to became
[TS]
01:16:36
◼
►
a different character on stage and then
[TS]
01:16:38
◼
►
was very much like looking at the
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
audience present in a different way ass
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
arrangements i mean not now windows so
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
far maybe as a conductor but like having

[TS]
01:16:51
◼
►
makes that a memorable song no matter
[TS]
01:16:53
◼
►
who's singing it and he gets so much of

01:16:55
◼

the palette and the texture and like
[TS]
01:16:56
◼
►
deciding what horns go we're on the

Carson show it feels like he is a member
[TS]
01:17:01
◼
►
of the severance and banned in a way
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
like he's interacting with the band
[TS]
01:17:05
◼

[TS]
01:17:39
◼

to that in a way that I wouldn't have I
[TS]
01:17:43
◼

wouldn't have said before and like I
[TS]
01:17:46
◼

wouldn't have in 1989 thought to myself
[TS]
01:17:48
◼

I'm going to be an heir to this i mean
[TS]
01:17:51

comedy rock sellers

be seen as ironic but your planet rock
[TS]
01:17:58
◼

and roll solo and you're getting into
[TS]
01:18:00
◼

your glasses are flying off your phone
[TS]
01:18:01
◼

on the stage and it's actually pretty
[TS]
01:18:02
◼
►
fucking great
[TS]
01:18:03
◼
►
yeah but I'm also aware that it is a
[TS]
01:18:06
◼
►
that is a pastiche of rock i'm aware
[TS]
01:18:09
◼

that i am i'm commenting on rock solo
[TS]
01:18:12
◼
►
but i'm also really really enjoying rock
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
solo and perhaps that's a product of the
[TS]
01:18:18
◼
►
era that it too and in that sense it's
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
an heir to Punk even through throughout
[TS]
01:18:27
◼
►
they might be giants refraction who
[TS]
01:18:30
◼
►
write like that to whatever degree that
[TS]
01:18:32
◼
►
they might be giants think of themselves
[TS]
01:18:33
◼
►
as part of a of the punk experience and
[TS]
01:18:38
◼
►
then they refracted that and you know
[TS]
01:18:41
◼
►
and that end up influencing me but you
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
wouldn't listen to my music and think
[TS]
01:18:45
◼
►
anything really
[TS]
01:18:48
◼
►
you wouldn't think you wouldn't think
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
Punk you certainly wouldn't think metal
[TS]
01:18:52
◼
►
you wouldn't think I mean it
[TS]
01:18:53
◼
►
the music as recorded sounds very much
[TS]
01:18:56
◼
►
like the the the very specific early in
[TS]
01:19:03
◼
►
the soft rock and that's not it's not in
[TS]
01:19:08
◼
►
the songwriting especially have trouble
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
putting your still have a lot of trouble
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
putting stuff in a box somebody to get
[TS]
01:19:13
◼
►
me a few days ago saying what he say so
[TS]
01:19:17
◼
►
i think some lines if he likes you know
[TS]
01:19:19
◼
►
the long winter stuff NEX ask me in
[TS]
01:19:21
◼
►
particular like what i would recommend
[TS]
01:19:22
◼
►
from today's artists that would be
[TS]
01:19:25
◼
►
comparable and and I felt like there's
[TS]
01:19:26
◼
►
like three different ways i wasn't sure
[TS]
01:19:28
◼
►
how to answer not least of which I'm not
[TS]
01:19:29
◼
►
up on music today but honestly without
[TS]
01:19:31
◼
►
kissing your ass
[TS]
01:19:31
◼
►
I've always had a hard time with the
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
comparisons people make I don't hear
[TS]
01:19:35
◼
►
what they're talking about
[TS]
01:19:36
◼
►
unless you're overtly like quoting a
[TS]
01:19:38
◼
►
judas priest or ac/dc cadence as a thing
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
I don't hear the RM stuff i don't hear
[TS]
01:19:43
◼
►
all that
[TS]
01:19:44
◼
►
right isn't even say which I heard a lot
[TS]
01:19:47
◼
►
at the time
[TS]
01:19:48
◼
►
really are you really influenced by XTC
[TS]
01:19:50
◼
►
and I was like not really and I don't
[TS]
01:19:51
◼
►
hear the comparison maybe shapes I the
[TS]
01:19:56
◼
►
the thing I hear a lot is and i heard it
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►
at the time like people would come to
[TS]
01:20:00
◼
►
our live shows and they would they they
[TS]
01:20:02
◼
►
didn't tweet and be because it didn't
[TS]
01:20:03
◼
►
exist but they would email me or comment
[TS]
01:20:07
◼
►
on message boards and say I want to see
[TS]
01:20:10
◼
►
them live and they were like the fucking
[TS]
01:20:12
◼
►
who I loved them but then I listen to
[TS]
01:20:14
◼
►
the records and it's so soft i can't get
[TS]
01:20:18
◼
►
into the sounds so soft is very
[TS]
01:20:21
◼
►
different and I hear that still from
[TS]
01:20:24
◼
►
people that are like I listen to the
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
band and I just couldn't reconcile it
[TS]
01:20:28
◼
►
with the person i know from the podcast
[TS]
01:20:29
◼
►
because I like hard rock and you talk
[TS]
01:20:33
◼
►
about hard rock and I assumed it would
[TS]
01:20:35
◼
►
be harder rock and like yeah when we
[TS]
01:20:38
◼
►
were in the studio we were recording
[TS]
01:20:40
◼
►
those tunes and chris wallace was the
[TS]
01:20:41
◼
►
producer and it was an era specific era
[TS]
01:20:45
◼
►
that was suspicious of distortion
[TS]
01:20:48
◼
►
suspicious of loud bass and big heavy
[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
bombastic stuff even coming from a
[TS]
01:20:55
◼
►
punk-rock places like that nana and what
[TS]
01:20:59
◼
►
your songs didn't want that I don't
[TS]
01:21:01
◼
►
think they could have been recorded in a
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
way that if there was one more guitar on
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
every track that was that just was going
[TS]
01:21:09
◼
►
through a rat pedal and playing the
[TS]
01:21:11
◼
►
e-string only hmm not open e only but
[TS]
01:21:14
◼
►
but following the chord progression but
[TS]
01:21:16
◼
►
just playing on one string down down
[TS]
01:21:18
◼
►
down down and it would just be more rock
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
it would sound rock
[TS]
01:21:23
◼
►
I sure I mean it's your music but like I
[TS]
01:21:26
◼
►
one of the things i treasure about in
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
particular uh the green 1i want a
[TS]
01:21:32
◼
►
pinfall is the is first of all I said
[TS]
01:21:36
◼
►
before I think it's a UH a triumph of
[TS]
01:21:39
◼
►
sequencing in the tracks and I really i
[TS]
01:21:41
◼
►
would not want you to feel like you had
[TS]
01:21:45
◼
►
to change blanket hardware you had to
[TS]
01:21:47
◼
►
change it'll be a breeze like I'm glad
[TS]
01:21:49
◼
►
there's not a dung dung on it'll be a
[TS]
01:21:51
◼
►
breeze because that is the pacing it's
[TS]
01:21:53
◼
►
an album it's a fucking album and I'll I
[TS]
01:21:56
◼
►
i liked it has its little
[TS]
01:21:58
◼
►
ups and it's downs and then that
[TS]
01:21:59
◼
►
triumphant like last third like when you
[TS]
01:22:01
◼
►
come out of the second side and starts
[TS]
01:22:03
◼
►
didn't get what I wanted and that one
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
started to start start aside to its not
[TS]
01:22:09
◼
►

[TS]
01:22:18
◼
►

[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
they're called
[TS]
01:22:24
◼
►
yeah but decided which i always think of
[TS]
01:22:26
◼
►
as the beginning of side to right
[TS]
01:22:28
◼
►
I don't intend it that way but that's
[TS]
01:22:29
◼
►
what it feels like because there's like
[TS]
01:22:31
◼
►
the big son said let go a bit crazy
[TS]
01:22:32
◼
►
ending you got the big like you know the
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
end and then you don't mind telling you
[TS]
01:22:35
◼
►
this who cares it's not Tom it's the tom
[TS]
01:22:37
◼
►
petty thing right tom petty's like look
[TS]
01:22:39
◼
►

[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
tues got to be killer
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
uh-huh and I was like yeah I mean we
[TS]
01:22:45
◼
►
gotta we gotta decide to but stupid is a
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
classic example of a song that when we
[TS]
01:22:49
◼
►
played it live it was much harder rock
[TS]
01:22:51
◼
►
than it was and even as we were
[TS]
01:22:53
◼
►
recording it the drummer Michael
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
Schilling said why are you not making
[TS]
01:22:56
◼
►
this more rock was like well I got all
[TS]
01:22:59
◼
►
these look like a chime i'm putting
[TS]
01:23:01
◼
►
chiming guitars on also the when you
[TS]
01:23:03
◼
►
play it live what I always remember if
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
i'm remembering correctly was it was
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
much more crunchy but also you would
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
play up the weird rhythms of that song
[TS]
01:23:12
◼
►
on in your guitar figures in a way that
[TS]
01:23:14
◼
►
you didn't hear in the seemingly i wrote
[TS]
01:23:17
◼
►
this on an acoustic guitar version on
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
the record right you would play out
[TS]
01:23:20
◼
►
these these funny little special try to
[TS]
01:23:21
◼
►
remember but I can't stop my head but I
[TS]
01:23:23
◼
►
would remember always thinking like why
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
is he making this like more janky but it
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
yeah my contacts the accents are in
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
places that you wouldn't expect
[TS]
01:23:31
◼
►
yeah but i think that somehow you sing
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
so compliments how you sing so it makes
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
it more more pokey in the way that you
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
you kind of punctuated and do your own
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
Jamal what I thought
[TS]
01:23:42
◼
►
another great thing from having Giants a
[TS]
01:23:43
◼
►
lot like line run over like such a great
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
thing I was trying to make it pokey
[TS]
01:23:47
◼
►
because that's what girls like oh but i
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
think the example and I that I can't
[TS]
01:23:52
◼
►
believe that we have to we have
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
generated to actually a music critic
[TS]
01:23:56
◼
►
music critic in my own music here but
[TS]
01:24:00
◼
►
but but uh from later hater high which
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
should not be named that it was named
[TS]
01:24:07
◼
►
that by the by Josh Roosevelt the head
[TS]
01:24:10
◼
►
of the record company
[TS]
01:24:11
◼
►
in one of those weird last-minute things
[TS]
01:24:13
◼
►
where the song had always been called
[TS]
01:24:15
◼
►
Jet City we still put it on the setlists
[TS]
01:24:18
◼
►
as jet city really and at the last
[TS]
01:24:21
◼
►
possible minute it was it was jet city
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
when i started writing it was jet city
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
throughout the whole nine months before
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
the record came out but rosenfeld in
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
like that record label thing where the
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
record label owner is like haha maybe I
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
should make a contribution to this why
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
don't you change the name of the song
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
too problematic hater high and I was
[TS]
01:24:41
◼
►
vulnerable enough for susceptible enough
[TS]
01:24:43
◼
►
to that kind of contribution that was
[TS]
01:24:46
◼
►
like oh ok and then it went
[TS]
01:24:48
◼
►
Emmy seriously he said that as we were
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
doing the artwork for the for the record
[TS]
01:24:52
◼
►
you can do you still think of it as just
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
city it's absolutely jet-setting that's
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
what we write on are on our side it's a
[TS]
01:24:58
◼
►
way better sauce the way better name for
[TS]
01:25:00
◼
►
the song but the recording of that too
[TS]
01:25:04
◼
►
which when we play that new girl was
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
actually originally called a 14-point
[TS]
01:25:08
◼
►
type you know it's called 40-foot
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
motherfucker but uh but when we were
[TS]
01:25:13
◼
►
recording that song I mean when we play
[TS]
01:25:14
◼
►
when we play jet city live we play it
[TS]
01:25:17
◼
►
like a like a rolling stone song from
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
exile on main street yeah and when we
[TS]
01:25:23
◼
►
recorded it i mean that's how I wrote it
[TS]
01:25:26
◼
►
but then as we were recording we were
[TS]
01:25:27
◼
►
like why don't we get a violin player in
[TS]
01:25:29
◼
►
here and then the violin player we got
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►

01:25:36
◼
►
love her parts on that and she's playing

[TS]
01:25:48
◼
►
hillbilly faiz the song and what the
[TS]
01:25:51
◼
►
song what the way it was written and the
[TS]
01:25:54
◼
►
way I think now probably should have
[TS]
01:25:56
◼
►
been recorded was with some down to down
[TS]
01:25:59
◼
►
it you know like it should have just
[TS]
01:26:00
◼
►
been a rock and roll song but that
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
wasn't our instinct at the time it was
[TS]
01:26:04
◼
►
like let's throw the let's throw the
[TS]
01:26:06
◼
►
whole refrigerator at this and we don't
[TS]
01:26:09
◼
►

01:26:12
◼
►
song with like a hillbilly violin so

[TS]
01:26:17
◼
►
explored yet let's put it on this song
[TS]
01:26:19
◼
►
you know like we were trying if you
[TS]
01:26:21
◼
►
listen to our music we're just trying
[TS]
01:26:22
◼
►
over and over to put
[TS]
01:26:24
◼
►
every style of everything in in the
[TS]
01:26:27
◼
►
records you have a credit for dr dre
[TS]
01:26:29
◼
►
keyboard memory serves
[TS]
01:26:31
◼
►
dr. dre keyboard Scott McCoy is on one
[TS]
01:26:34
◼
►
of the songs just standing in the studio
[TS]
01:26:36
◼
►
quietly and we have Scott McCoy on a
[TS]
01:26:40
◼
►
track where really we just we put up the
[TS]
01:26:42
◼
►
mics and he stood in there and stared at
[TS]
01:26:44
◼
►
us through the window maybe just
[TS]
01:26:47
◼
►
recorded Scott McCoy standing in a room
[TS]
01:26:49
◼
►
and we included on the track so it was
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
that implements a barrage of they might
[TS]
01:26:54
◼
►
be giants impulse to like let's a let's
[TS]
01:26:59
◼
►
do weird things even in the studio that
[TS]
01:27:03
◼
►
no one will ever know about it but it
[TS]
01:27:04
◼
►
would but it'll be fun and artistic but
[TS]
01:27:08
◼
►
