S6 – Ep 13 | 1971 Deep Cuts, Dig It or Dump It, Algorithms, Albums or Playlists, Angine De Poitrine

Craig and Kevin take it back to 1971, digging into a pair of albums that showcase very different sides of the era’s sound.

Craig highlights Lee Moses’ Time and Place, a soulful, gritty release packed with raw emotion and powerful guitar work — a true hidden gem that never got its full due. Kevin follows with Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show’s self-titled debut (Dr. Hook), blending country, rock, and storytelling with a laid-back charm that would help define their early sound.

From there, the guys jump into Dig It or Dump It, with Craig throwing out 10 topics for Kevin to react to on the spot. The conversation covers everything from albums vs. playlists and algorithm-driven recommendations to more obscure curveballs like Angine de Poitrine — keeping things unpredictable as always.

It’s a mix of rediscovery, debate, and off-the-cuff reactions that keeps the energy moving throughout.

Schizophrenic Music is a signal syndicate production.

SPEAKER_01 0:21

Hello and welcome to schizophrenic music. This is Kevin, and I am here with Craig.

SPEAKER_00 0:27

What's up?

SPEAKER_01 0:28

And I think we're gonna talk some music, talk about some albums, have a couple of the things planned, maybe have a beverage. How are you doing, Craig?

SPEAKER_00 0:37

Good, man. I'm excited. I'm really excited because uh of the beverage. I have to show it to you. It's pretty cool. And guess what? You're gonna get you're getting one too. So really? Yes, sir. Um, what do you have?

SPEAKER_01 0:55

This is I don't know if I've had it on here. It's not like a new thing. I did end up bought a little uh one of those little variety packs. I bought a scofflaw variety pack, so I have a JuicyQuest hazy IPA. JuiceQuest hazy IPA.

SPEAKER_00 1:11

It's a little juicy quest. Okay, cool. Yeah, I can't see it's a little bit more.

SPEAKER_01 1:15

I think it has like this, it has a basement, that Pogzilla, which is uh, you know, their fruity uh imperial it's like a 9%, I think. Oh wow. You know, so it's yeah. And then one other one, I think. No, I think there's three. Three of no, I don't know. There's another one in there that I can't think of. Another West Coast or something. Something else. I don't know. Anyways, I got the juice quest tonight. You ready for mine? Yes, I am.

SPEAKER_00 1:44

I gotta get set up here with the camera. Can you see it? I don't know if you can see that back right here. This is what you call a this is what you call a pinter. Turn it this turn it this direction. Ah, so you okay. So it's a home brewing kit. All right, so for the listeners here, um I don't think Kevin uses it that much, but I use a system called Untapped to check in my beers. I've been using it for a while.

SPEAKER_01 2:13

Uh I should use it more. I check in every once in a while.

SPEAKER_00 2:16

Um, I wouldn't know half the time sometimes if I've had something or not. So um, but all of a sudden they send me this coupon there's like, hey, you get a free pinter. I go, what the hell is a pinter? I get a free pint? Okay, cool. Yeah, whatever. So they sent me an email. I went through the email and I'm like, holy crap, this is like a like a new modern brewing kit. And not only did they send me this, but I got my choice of two different beers to batches to brew in, to brew it in. Um took me 13 days to brew it overall. It took Okay, that's pretty quick. Yeah, yeah. It took eight days to brew and then five days to condition, and I've I've just tapped it today. This is an Adnums. So Adnums is a brewery out of UK. This is their ghost ship remix. It's a English Pale. And so it's literally like a regular tap handle. It's probably gonna be a lot of foam, but yeah, a ton of foam. Just a little. Yeah, I don't know how to not make it foam. I gotta I gotta do my research. So right now I just have a glass of head right there, but maybe that's the so it it's almost like this is almost like a I would say like a traditional English pale ale, which is small tier, has a little bit of a hop character to it, but this is almost like a cask, like what you get from like a botting tens or a pretty cool. Alright. So yeah, I and not only did they give me one, they gave me two. I pop mine.

SPEAKER_01 3:57

Yeah, you won't hear it anyways.

SPEAKER_00 3:58

But uh so I have two of these things. I don't need two of these things, so I'm gonna gift one to you. Uh well, well, okay. And the kits, what they do is they give you anywhere, I think they give you ten, the equivalent of ten English pints. And it's close to like eight to nine Americans. American pints, I guess, are maybe bigger, 16 ounces or something. Yeah. So I'll get there. I'll just I'll just drink through the foam. So you've had how is it? It's it's really good. This is gone are the days of the you know, old school brewing where you just get somebody's homebrew, and it's like I mean, this is their beer. This is what you would get from them. There's a place in Savannah I noticed on Untapped. Um no, Jekyll Island, that is doing they have a cigar bar and they have pinters, they have pinters there of different batches, which I thought was really cool.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

So that's cool.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

Yeah, man. So uh you're gonna get one of those cheers. Cheers. Alright. Super easy, really, drinkable. I bet this is probably up to maybe five, five and a half percent max. So good stuff. Very nice. All right, well, on the agenda today, as we have done customary for the last I can't think of how many weeks. We've been we're halfway through, so we're doing 1960, we're over halfway through, actually. 1960 to 2025. Underrated, overlooked albums, in our opinion. We each pick one each week. This week we are featuring 1971. Um, what a killer year. Yes, an absolute beast of a year. I say we start with the albums first. What do you think? Sure. Um, up to you. Do you want to go first or do you want me to go first? Okay. So I've got some honorable mentions, but I'm gonna hold off I'm gonna hold off on that until I give Kevin the opportunity to go through this because I have no idea where Kevin's going with this. There are like a multitude of albums that are from bands you do not know. And some of them are really highly regarded, but you just don't know these bands. You definitely don't know this guy. Um, this guy, it's his only studio album. It I think it's three and a half stars on allmusic.com. It's criminal. The users give it four and a half. I think it's closer to that. Uh, you know, it's not it's not a perfect album, but it's a killer album. It's from a guy by the name of Lee Moses. The album is called Time and Place. Uh, this guy, he is a soul singer and a hell of a soul singer from Atlanta, Georgia. Uh, this album is awesome. Um, there's some stuff that most of this stuff is written by other people. There's a couple of songs there. He's a co-writer of the second song, Got That Will, which is a killer song. Uh, and you can see there's some writers here, I imagine, or people. He also wrote another song called Every Boy and a Girl. Those are both on side one. Um, and then I think he has a team of songwriters that worked with him. Uh, but his voice is just amazing. Imagine I mean, I don't know who to compare him with in the classic soul arena because he's real powerful, real gritty, real raspy at times. Um, has a really deep, buttery, soulful voice. Um, it's awesome. He's just great. Uh, some of the best stuff on here, though, are some of the most unique covers you're gonna hear. I mean, probably the coolest cover of the Mamas and Papas, California Dreaming. This cover is just amazing. And then his version of Hey Joe, of course. I mean, you've heard a ton of people do that. His is right up there with uh with the original. I just love this album. Um, like I said, his only solo album, and I found out about it from Plaid Room Records. Plaid Room Records is the official record store that is part of Coal Mine Records, which we've raved about in the past. Uh, this is their um special color edition. This album just kicks butt. Um 1971. Kevin can uh Kevin, if you want to expand upon that, you can because I know you love this album too.

SPEAKER_01 8:25

Oh no, that's just that's just that's just excellent. Excellent stuff. I would highly recommend. Yeah, you turned me onto that, and it's just like it's it's like I said, California Dream of the Hey Joe, there was just so much good stuff on there. It's it's uh yeah, it's good. I mean, I don't uh yeah, I don't have anything bad to say about it. I need to pull that out more often. When you pull that out, that's like it's just it's just a great album. And the fact that people don't really know it, you know, like it doesn't get like that, you know, that notoriety or that attention is just criminal, I think. So that's a heavy strong, strong album.

SPEAKER_00 9:10

Well, I'm dying to know about yours, man, because you could go funk, soul, rock, jazz. I mean, 71's got it all. Uh, I have no clue though where you go. Well, there's there's like there's there's one, but I think you've I think you've already mentioned you might have already featured him. Anyway, I'll stop rambling.

SPEAKER_01 9:28

There's see, there's something, there's one, there's some albums in there, and there's a bunch, and my phone is not cooperating with me right now. But when I say this band, you go, oh, you know, like I'm trying out to be like the total, like uh, you know, like I don't want to say Homer, the total like just picking my favorite bands, like you know, Lavi Surfy one time and Alice Cooper another time, and John Hyatt another time, and you know, like that. Yep. But but there's some of the bands and artists that I love that I don't think get the acclaim that they should. Right. So for one, I almost like I saw this album. There's also that, I don't know if it was released that year, but that Baby Huey came out this year, right? And it was in there. I was like, I'm like, damn, that I'm like, I don't want to ruin all your honorable mentions, but and then I'm gonna go honorable mention after this too. But there are like 71. I'm I I I love exploring and finding like early hard rock, like proto metal, like bands that were heavy in that like kind of deep purple, you know, Uriah heat that vein of you know, there was a bunch of bands in like the late 60s, early 70s, 71, 72, 73 that were released and stuff. And there are so many bands and so many albums that came out this year, 71, by bands that maybe had one album, maybe two. Some of them went for a little bit, but there's so many hard rock bands that had really that were really good albums, really good bands that just I mean they weren't Sabbath or Zeppelin or Purple, but it was good stuff, like that one you played today. That's excellent, which you'll probably talk about. And there's bands like that, that's just really, really good hard rock that never like went to the next, never made it to the next level. But I'm not picking one of those, I'll mention those a little bit later. And there is a Labby Siffri album that's really good that year as well. Not picking that, but this is a band that I I love this band, and they were very popular for a second, and but now I don't think that anybody remembers them like at all. If you bring them up, and they might know them because of like one or two songs in the later 70s that were a little bit different style that they kind of changed, you know, and got on the radio a little bit. Now, there's this is their debut album, and they even had a name change in there, so it's just a confusing thing. But this is a band that I just I was you know, I I don't blame. I give the credit to a friend from high school/slash college and her parents because they were into some cool stuff, and she made me like a mixtape of like her favorite songs by this band, and I just love this. This like this band is so cool. And anyways, I'll talk about them and I'll go and I'll name the band and then I'll talk more about them and the album. But when they released this album, which was their debut, they were called Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. Yep, I have the album was called Dr. Hook. So they have a couple albums as Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, and then they just truncated it, shortened it to Dr. Hook, and there's a bunch of albums called just their name Dr. Hook. Now, they were like they they were I don't know, it just I think the people remember. If you remember Dr. Hook, you remember uh When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman, and like Sharing the Night Together or Sexy Eyes, like that was like the 70s kind of soft rockish, and those I love those songs, and they're great, but they kind of soften their sound a little bit as they went on. When they started, and all even then, but they were like the cool thing about this why I love these guys is like they have the sense of humor for sure, but they're just like a really good, they're from New Jersey, they don't really sound like New Jersey guys, but they have like they're like a really good bar band, right? I mean, they're just like Clive Davis signed them, audition signed them, whatever. I mean, they're not like and they had co-vocalists, they had two guys that sang lead vocals, and then they jumped a bunch of different for they have like a really raunchy side to them where they're singing about sex and drugs and rock and roll and inappropriate stuff, and then they got like a really like emotional, slower, like just just heart heart pull, you know, talking on the heartstrings type songs, right? And that and it goes in and out, so it's just like it's really cool, and a lot of their big hits, especially in the beginning, were the lyrics were written by Shell Silverstein of where the sidewalk ends, so-and-so, you know, kids' poetry books, right? So these definitely weren't kids' songs. You know, he also wrote Boy Named Sue, which, you know, that just right there is just cool enough. But anyway, so Shell Silverstein was their lyricist and wrote like a lot of the lyrics to their songs. This album, the first one, just a couple of the hits, like the first song is Sylvia's Mother. That's like one of those emotional ones where he's you know, the girl's leaving him and he's just wants a couple more minutes to talk to her on the phone when her mom won't come to the won't let him, you know. And it's like it's so great. That's on there, and they sing me a rainbow, you know, kiss it away, but then they also have some kind of like singing about Marie Laveau and you know, voodoo priestess and stuff like that. So, anyways, Dr. Hook, just a cool band. Very, they go in and out of like kind of funky country rock, but then like a little soul, and then like little kind of like not say yacht rock, but kind of soft mellow stuff. But psychedelic love this band, and I think that they became really popular for a little bit there in the 70s, but they're totally like forgotten. You know, people remember they had like Dennis and Dennis Loquier, I think was his name. He was like the soft voice guy, but then there was Ray Sawyer who's the guy that had a had an eye patch where they kind of got the name from Captain Hook, Dr. Hook, and uh he's no longer with us, but just cool stuff. But anyways, I have all of their albums, I think, on vinyl now, which is just one of those things. But, anyways, I'm babbling, but Dr. Hook is just cool stuff. Start at the beginning and go through their whole catalog. There's just some really cool, just eclectic stuff on their albums. So Dr. Hook and the medicine show, the album is simply called Doctor Hook. Love it. Go and listen to it.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

Yeah, like I said, I had no I had no idea where you're going.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Uh, yeah, I was gonna pick a lot of hard rock stuff, and then I went, oh, that album's 71? I'm like, really? I'm like, hmm. Yeah, okay. Maybe it's not, I think that or the one after it, not after well, the after it are my favorite Dr. Hook albums, but yeah, yeah, this one was this one at still.

SPEAKER_00 16:50

You've got, you know, depending on the year, you might have better competition for that band's best album. We talked about Killing Joke last time, you know, nighttime being this album, but that particular year there were so many albums that that trumped it. Um, yeah, you mentioned the Baby Huey. Uh if you listen to Lee Moses and you like Lee Moses, then you're gonna love Baby Huey. Another artist that had one album. I feel like he's had some uh a little bit of a spotlight, very, very minor. At least I saw that on CD back in the day. It was released. He's starting to get a little bit of hype. Right. He mentioned the band I played, a completely different sound, definitely more just straightforward rock, a little bit of garage in them, but just good rock and roll. Leaf Hound, Growers of Mushroom, absolutely stunning album. Uh, a co-worker of mine, friend of mine, Mike, who I worked with years ago, um turned me onto them. He's a you gotta check this out. Um they're good. It's it's excellent. It's absolutely excellent. His voice, uh he doesn't sound like Steve Marriott from Vases, but he's that powerful, but raspier, gritty, or just man, that guy, that guy can wail. That album should be absolutely known by everybody, especially that sound of uh of music. Uh, the other one that was a strong contender. I'm staying in the soul realm, is um Eugene McDaniel's Headless Hero Apocalypse. I've already talked about that album before. Incredibly, incredibly important album, very socially conscious. Nobody he went from like kind of what Stevie was doing, kind of just an early kind of pop soul guy, and then all of a sudden he puts out that and then another album that are just absolutely as biting and as gritty as it gets. I mean, we're talking what's going on, era Marvin Gay, like this guy had a lot to say, he didn't hold anything back, and and plus the rhythm, the grooves on it's just incredible. Um, so I I could have picked that, but I know of we've talked about him before. So yeah, but there's a man, there's so many great albums. I mean, if you talk about classic albums, I was just talking to um Becca's uh sister-in-law, and she was saying that she goes, you know what album was released in 1971 was Carol King's Tapestry. I go, Yep, Tapestry's fantastic. Um, talk about one of my favorite albums of all time, Paul McCartney Paul and Linda McCartney put out Ram. Absolutely stellar album. I just picked that up too. Shout out. I'm all over the place, but shout out to NX Vinyl in Norcross. Check them out. Um Kevin goes to this place called Mojo Vinyl, give them a shout-out as well. Uh, they're in Alpharetta, right? Roswell. Roswell. So they're in Roswell. Both of these places are kind of like Grimies. If you've ever been to Grimy's in Nashville, it's in a house, and that's what these are. That it's set, you know, different individual rooms, just really cool. Um, I'm sorry, I don't remember your name at NX Vinyl. You're really nice. The owner is so cool. I've been there twice. I talked to him. He has the cutest mascot there. This dog called Sturgil Simpson. Love this dog. Uh man, I'm telling you, he if he doesn't make money just off Sturgeil, it seriously, he's the most adorable dog ever. Um, just super killed. Yeah, I picked up a copy of uh Ram there for I think 15, 16 bucks, mint, and it's like one of the original pressings, too. So yeah, uh, good stuff.

SPEAKER_01 20:21

That is one of my uh greatest, you don't get them very often, but I found a copy of Ram, really good condition at Goodwill for a dollar. Actually, actually, that was like one of my own, you know, most of the time you get a bunch of stuff that your grandma didn't want, right? But that was a good one.

SPEAKER_00 20:38

I had a I picked up a copy from uh our favorite place of uh disorganization. Oh god. Oh, this place is uh second to Charles is it it's great and it's bad at the same time. Like seriously, Kevin and I, you you don't even have to pay us. We'll go in there and we'll just give us a night, buy us a six pack of beer, whatever, we'll organize your right.

SPEAKER_01 21:00

I want to stay overnight while it's not you know, absolutely I'll organize your vinyl because music all night, it would be we we would have fun doing it.

SPEAKER_00 21:10

Um I I I did pick up a copy of Ram early on in my uh vinyl collection days um for three bucks, but it had it, it just had kind of a little bit of a moldy smell to it. So I ended up selling it. I bought a reissue, the reissue went out of print, and some guy offered me 80 bucks for it. I go, sold. You just I paid 15, you can have it for 80. So anyway, I'm glad to get that uh original copy, it's meant awesome.

SPEAKER_01 21:40

Um, real quick, other there's like that. I was listening a bunch today, just if I was deciding for sure I was doing Dr. Hook, but like at 71, there was like, and if you want if you like early hard rock, read a pen and paper, because I'm gonna name like about 10 bands, but there's a bunch of people that released albums that year that. They're unknown now. Right. The bands, nobody, nobody knows the bands who they were or anything like that. And I'm just gonna run through. There's a band called Blast Furnace. They released at least one, maybe two. That album, great, self-titled. Excellent. Band called Harry Chapter. Can't get through the night or something. Good heavy rock, good stuff. Band called A Candle for Judith. Excellent album. It's called The Way We Live. Another band. I think they released a couple. The band was called Tucky Buzzard. These some of these names are so like, what the what the hell? Right? Right. Tucky Buzzard, just good. I think they're another British band, just good straight for stuff. Blues Creation was a Japanese hard rock band releasing an album that year as well.

SPEAKER_00 22:44

Vaguely familiar.

SPEAKER_01 22:45

There's a band called Geronimo. Subtitled. That's really good. Geronimo. There's a band, they're more psychedelic, more proggy called My Solid Ground. Check that out. There's another one self-titled called Out of Focus. There's not Killing Joke, but there's a band. I think they'll release one called Killing Floor. And they released one album called Out of Uranus. Hey man. I'm sure they're talking about the plan. I'm sure they're just astronomy fans. Five stars in the album title. Then there's a band called Gracious. The album is called This Is Gracious. And two more. There's one that's kind of heading toward, they call it Acid Rock or leading towards metal. The band was called uh Salem Mass. Yep. And it was called Witch Burning, which is definitely heavy. Very interesting. And the last one I listened to today, and I've said it to you, is a band called Tin House. And it's a self-titled album. I don't know if they did anything after that, but check it out if you like Hard Rock, 70s, early 70s Hard Rock band called Tin House.

SPEAKER_00 23:49

So another one too to mention attack.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

Cactus had one out that year, too, that's really good.

SPEAKER_00 23:54

That cactus album's excellent. Um, Humble Pie had a great album that year. One that's another one in that same vein, I think was released in '71, was that band Dark.

SPEAKER_01 24:05

Yes, Dark has an album out that year. Also, Atomic Rooster had an album. They they lasted a little while longer, but they were really.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

You know, that Dark album at one point was the highest, it was the most sought-after album on Discogs for years. I don't know if they've ever reissued it, but at one point that thing was going for thousands and thousands. May have gone for I don't know. I don't know how, but it was. There was a beat up copy going for like 800 bucks.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

There's too many bands called Dark. That's the problem. Uh yeah. Dark Around the Edges. No. Yeah. Yeah. I have it. I have it in my collection, but I can't. I'll be damned if I can find it. But uh Dark around the yeah, dark around the edges, right?

SPEAKER_00 24:57

It's kind of like um, yep, that's it. A little bit of Sabbath uh in the 72. Okay. 72. Okay. Mine says 71. That's why some of the some of the data.

SPEAKER_01 25:10

My Leap Hound didn't come up in 71 either. It was so it's like things were re-released and they show up in the year they were re-released or finally released.

SPEAKER_00 25:18

On yeah, it that's or you know, sometimes when there's like a one bonus track or two bonus tracks, and it goes with the most recent date. So maybe the bonus track was 1972, but I I don't know. Uh that that could be right, it could be 1972. Um, all right. I I do have some stuff for you. I just have uh dig it or dump it for you. I didn't know if you had anything for me.

SPEAKER_01 25:40

Not a lot. I can do like a gun to your head out of, but you know, whatever. Depends on how much time you want to spend.

SPEAKER_00 25:46

I think we can I think we can pair off of the dig it or dump it. I think you're gonna enjoy it. Okay. So gonna give you once again, dig it or dump it. We do uh 10 options here. Sometimes we'll go a little bit longer than that, but we typically go with 10. Either he quizzes me, I typically I typically do this to him, and then we each do an either or uh so dig it or dump it for Kevin. All right, you ready? Yeah Kevin, dig it or dump it. Artists changing genres completely.

SPEAKER_01 26:21

Interesting. I'm trying to think of some examples, but it depends.

SPEAKER_00 26:31

The first one that comes off the top of my head, and it's very it's very drastic, and they worked well in both New Wave and Art Rock, and that's the band Talk Talk. Did a really good job with you know It's My Life and the song Talk Talk, those are the big hits. Right. You don't know any of the songs off of Laughing Stock and Art Right. I mean, that they're what Mark Hollis was doing later on is just stellar, in my opinion, but I get why it didn't get radio play. It wasn't meant for radio play, it's very thought-provoking, very kind of ambient. Oh, I love it. Um, not a lot of examples of artists that have done this, but we know artists like Costello is a guy that he does it multiple times.

SPEAKER_01 27:21

See, I like that. I appreciate a band that like explores and does something different, like, oh, I'm gonna record an album with a symphony, or I'm gonna record an album with like you know, uh New Orleans jazz pianist, singer, songwriter, you know. Like Alan with Allen, right? Yeah, right. And I love that. Or did you the album with Bert Backrack? I mean, that's cool, you know, that's cool stuff. I I like it when you explore and do different things. You don't have to, I mean, we've reserved the right to be hypocrites, right? Because like I don't want ACDC to do that. I want ACDC to stay in their lane and release songs that sound like ACDC, right? But uh there's a lot of bands that I love that they're trying things out and doing different stuff. Costello is a great example, you know, he's recording album with the roots, you know, it's like that's just different stuff going on there. That's cool, right? What I don't like, I guess, is like a band that totally changes genres to chase like radio play or something like that. You know, there's a lot of bands that they were like a really heavy band, all of a sudden they came back and they were like, you know, you know, I don't want to say soft rock or something, but it was like, what? How how did that, you know, what happened there? You know, or like, or the people that a lot of people did this and it works and it's authentic, but I'm sure there's a few people that all of a sudden, and I'm not talking about the biggest one, that release country albums all of a sudden. I'm like, what like how are you all of a sudden releasing a country album? You know, it's like right, I don't know, Steven Tyler released a country album, like, really? What is that that I don't want, I don't I don't need that, right? Bon Jovi did it for a while there too, didn't they? So it's like kind of weird, and then other people like, but then other people move into there, it makes sense. Jewel released the country album, okay. That makes sense. She was married to a bull rider and she's released a country album. Okay, cool. That makes sense, or that's fine, or Cheryl Crow or something like that. But there's certain people that's I don't know, you can tell maybe I I who knows, but it feels certain things feel authentic and right, other things feel like inauthentic, or they're just doing a cash grab, things like that. Yeah, anyways. All right, so expand it out. That was one, that was number one, right? And I talked forever.

SPEAKER_00 29:40

So if you had to go yeah or nay, I'm gonna dig, I'm gonna dig it. Okay. I agree. That's I I agree because I think most don't change completely and continue with it, they just change completely for an album or two, and maybe that's it. Right. All right, Kevin, dig it or dump it, algorithm-driven recommendations.

SPEAKER_01 30:03

I dig it because I found some really good stuff based on that. 100% agree. Sometimes I feel like they've this getting better. At first, when Pandora first started doing it, right? It was like, uh, what's you know, they're it's too repetitious or too repetitive, whatever. But I've like I've discovered tons of bands by letting it play after the album ends with on Apple Music and it just plays something else. I'm like, Who is this? Or you know, I mean, it's just excellent stuff. Yeah, or the thing down at the bottom, like if you like this, you'll like you may also like. I'm like, who is this? And I you know, find some good stuff that way.

SPEAKER_00 30:37

I I totally agree. I'm right there with you 100%. I I I don't even hesitate to say I love it, even if it's not like good. Uh I I used to love Pandora. I learned very quickly with Pandora don't thumbs up anything, do not thumbs up a song because it'll do that all the time. Yeah, it will play that song all the time. So I recognized, I literally went through my entire collection and un unliked stuff so that it would give me more of a variety. Where it failed early on is with an Elvis Costello because he's done so much. So if it plays a song off of you know almost blue, it's like, oh shit, you know, now we're going down the country route. And I wasn't really feeling Elvis Costello country. So anyway, all right. Real serious one here, Kevin. Dig it or dump it, ketchup on eggs.

SPEAKER_01 31:25

Um I don't do ketchup on eggs. Dump it. I mean, I don't I don't hate it. I'm not gonna slam you for doing it, but no, I can do some hot sauce on eggs, but no ketchup.

SPEAKER_00 31:34

Heck yeah, hot sauce is what you should do with eggs, but uh ketchup is no. Once again, we reserve the right to be hypocritical here. Uh, but yeah, nay. Oh, yeah. That's a potato. Come on. Right. That's a dippable. Yeah, for sure. Uh dig it or dump it, Kevin. Featuring, featuring overload on albums.

SPEAKER_01 32:02

I know we were just talking about that, and I still have listened to that album. Uh I kind of dump that. I I love I like that people are joining, but it's like, yep, if every song is featuring somebody else, it just feels I don't know, I don't like it. I want to hear that. And it certain genres lend itself to more of that. Absolutely. I understand certain albums, like it's like everybody's got, I guess, this or that, but uh, you know, I don't I don't want every song to be featuring someone unless it's supposed to be, unless it's designed to be that way, right? Like a duets album or something like that, right?

SPEAKER_00 32:43

Right, or or a straight-up compilation, you know. Right. Like, hey, I curated this compilation, I play on every track, but it has a different lead. That's cool. But if it's one of your albums and it's feature and it's just a nightmare to search through with these platforms, so I gotta dump it.

SPEAKER_01 33:01

I know the hip hop albums that happens a lot, RB happens a little bit more, so it just tends to happen more because you're getting some enjoying and stuff like that. I under I get that, but I hate like the certain everyone, I don't know, too many. Anyways.

SPEAKER_00 33:16

Okay, Kevin Digit or Dump It Bands that replace their lead singer. Hey, caveat. Don't think the best, aka A C D C because they had to and they just did a phenomenal job, or the worst. Think in terms of just replacing their lead singer.

SPEAKER_01 33:39

It's hard because there's good and bad, there's definitely good and bad with that. And it kind of depends, right? Like there's some great things that happened, like, right? Or there's ones that like became even if they were good, then they became better, or stayed popular when they, you know, they could look like Genesis or you know, something like that, or Bruce Dickinson, obviously, you know, took Maiden to the next level for sure, absolutely, and stuff like that. What I don't like is like uh it depends, and and I'm totally hypocritical, but depends like who the band is and how important the lead singer is to the band, right? There's a lot of bands that you know. I heard somebody complaining, it was a thing on on online about like why do people give uh bands like Foreigner and whatnot a hard time because there's no original there's no original members, but there's also uh oh, they named a couple other ones, like can't remember who Judas Priest doesn't have only has one original member. Yeah, I'm like, okay, they don't have an original member, but they have the guy the classic, what you consider the classic lineup, right? So like there's an you know, so it's like that type of thing. But like, for instance, I saw I I I I reserved the right to be a hypocrite, but I saw like some, I was looking through to see who's coming on the on the summer, I'm just babbling tonight, on the summer concert tours, right? And there's this one town, I can't remember which one, somewhere around here. And the band that was the headliner with the big festival feature was uh I just lost my I lost it now, was uh No Rain. Uh Blind Melon Blind Melon. Blind Melon is the headline, is the I'm like that's not possible. That's not possible.

SPEAKER_02 35:36

Right.

SPEAKER_01 35:37

It's not possible. I I appreciate the fact that the rest of the band, Blind Melon, should be able to make a living and continue on and do something as because it's not their fault that their lead singer passed away. But Shannon Hoon was Blind Melon. I can't nobody knows another single member of Blind Melon unless you happen to be. And it's not their fault either. I mean, that's the fault.

SPEAKER_00 36:06

They're killer, absolutely killer melon. They're not blind melon anymore. At that point, name your band No Rain.

SPEAKER_01 36:14

Right.

SPEAKER_00 36:15

Something if you if you want to carry over the notoriety, fine. Exactly. But you're not blind melon anymore. You're not the cult if you don't have Ian Asbury, you're not exactly yeah. I mean, you're and like I said, there are times where it should not have worked, it should not have worked with ACDC, and it did. Right, it absolutely did.

SPEAKER_01 36:39

Yeah. And sometimes it works because the band, you know, their lead singer is never gonna come back, but they're still carrying on, you know. Like, I don't know, sticks, you know. They've Dennis Young hasn't been in six in in years, and they're still releasing good stuff and playing in concerts, and like, okay, cool, more prior to you. But if like the lead singer was the band, that's like Bon Jovi touring as Bon Jovi and not having John Bon Jovi. It just doesn't, it just ceases to be, you know. So I'm gonna say dump it. I don't know, I'm gonna dig it or I'm gonna dig it in certain circumstances. I can't, I can't, but it I'm totally hypocritical when it comes to this. I'm gonna go each each depends on who we're talking about and whatnot.

SPEAKER_00 37:23

I I I'll allow it. I'll allow it. That's a tricky one. I I thought about not keeping that one over there, but anyway. Uh Kevin, dig it or dump it. Albums over playlists.

SPEAKER_01 37:36

Oh, dig uh, dig it. I'm gonna play an album all the uh any day over a playlist. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:41

Look, we're gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_01 37:42

I appreciate playlists and expose you to things, but no.

SPEAKER_00 37:44

We're not anti-playlist. Playlists are great in in moments. Uh playlists are great in a group. Playlists are great at a brewery or at and you look, my listen to the whole album and it's your like different stuff.

SPEAKER_01 38:01

Right, makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 38:02

I've seen some music stores that'll play like half of an album and then switch so they're not playing the same thing. So you know, you might get 15-20 minutes, and I thought, well, that's kind of cool. They played, you know, it was at Yellow Racket recently, and he played, I think, the back half of when I came in, he was playing something else, and then he played the back half of Pink Floyd's metal, and then the next thing you know, they go into Morrissey. I'm like, well, that's cool. You know, okay. So I you know that that's a good compromise instead of doing a straight up playlist. Usually they will do a playlist, you know, they'll they'll they'll do a shuffle type thing. So all right. I knew I knew you were going there, I just had to ask. Uh Kevin, dig it or dump it. People who clap when plane the when the plane lands. Dump it. I mean, what the what is that? What seriously, what is that? I've never actually witnessed it. But people talk about it all the time.

SPEAKER_01 39:04

They're like, oh man, we had a group of you know four or five people in front of us clap, and then all of a sudden everybody joins along, and I'm like, I would I'd maybe if it was a really like rough flight and it was touch and go for a little while, you know, you give you gotta give them some credit or some props, but just a normal flight.

SPEAKER_00 39:20

Well, that's just sarcasm, right? That's just like okay, yeah. Your first day of the job, all right, yeah. Right. But I uh seriously, apparently it especially it used to really be a thing a while back, but I I've never personally witnessed it when I was on the phone. Thank God. I don't know if I have. Um maybe. I don't know. All right, Kevin, got three three more here. Uh dig it or dump it. The opening track matters more than the single.

SPEAKER_01 39:51

Dig it. You gotta the opening track needs to pull you in. You know, it can't be totally agree.

SPEAKER_00 39:57

Totally agree. I did not understand I I do not think people that aren't and albums right now, it's tricky because albums aren't as much of a thing. They're coming back, they're starting to make a little bit of a comeback, but albums have been kind of falling out of favor because everybody's doing EPs and they're doing singles. And uh man, for a proper album, the opening track, even if it's a segue or an intro into something else, and then you have a first official track, that little sequence there is so vital to an album. Um there's several albums that I've heard where it's like the opening track was so bad, and I was like, literally, if you took that track off that album, it it would be one of my favorite albums, but you put that there. I have to make to deal with this, I have to deal with this noise, right? Anyway, so I once again I knew you would agree with that. The last two are a little bit more divisive, especially this one. I don't know, maybe you only got a little bit of exposure when you were with me. But Kevin, dig it or dump it, Angine de Poitrine.

SPEAKER_01 41:03

I don't know. I just saw I saw that episode of what's his name when he was talking about him, but I didn't watch it yet. But I'm like, he was like, what is this? Yeah, so I don't know. I I I I I I don't know if I can make a decision yet. It's really too, I don't want to say dump it because I appreciate what they're doing, but I just don't know if I can get into it yet.

SPEAKER_00 41:22

Here's the thing. Here's what here's what I'll say. Don't uh and my my buddy Eric put it great because I asked him, I said, Yeah, have you heard Angine de Poitrine? He's like, he's like, no, what the heck is that? I go just watch the I think it's a KEXP episode. Um and he said, Where is he? He said, Okay, I finally watched that Angine de Poitrine KXP KEXP performance on YouTube uh the night before last. And I have to say, had I not watched it first, I might not be into it. But wow, watching how tightly they play and how that guy manipulates his foot in the needs of effects makes it jaw dry. He's not lying. So just watch it. Uh right, I gotta do it. For those that don't uh know this, it I mean, they've gone viral. Literally go to Discogs right now, Kevin, on your app and look at them at the most recent albums, and both volume one and volume two are right, and they've been there for like two weeks. Um de poitrine is A-N-G-I-N-E. De D E Poitrine is P-O-I-T-R-I-N-E. They are, I think they call it bi-tonal, it's very, very, very unique. The guy plays a combination bass and guitar and plays things that don't seem to fit together, but they fit so oddly together. It's just unreal what this guy's doing. But then to get a certain sound, he can't wear shoes. He's literally they paint their he they paint their bodies, he paints his so his his he's barefoot, and it it's it's insane. It's absolutely insane. I I think they're so good at it that I think they do themselves a little bit of disservice because it's very talented. It's not for everybody, it's not an easy sound. Uh, but if I'm in that mood for something, I appreciate it. So I'm gonna dig it. Um, but I agree with Kevin. Watch that, and we'll we'll come back to that. Uh all right, Kevin. This is the last one is really divisive. I'm I'm interested to see what you uh think on this. Dig it or dump it, Kevin. Podcast replacing radio.

SPEAKER_01 43:45

I I'm gonna have to dig that because radio is just I don't listen to terrestrial radio like at all. I listen to some satellite radio, but I just don't listen to any radio. We like we listen to radio getting up in the morning when we're getting ready in the morning, and it's just like Scott, it's just bad. I just don't, it's bad. You know, and everything, even then the stations, everything. If you want the music, I want to talk in the morning or whatever, but if you listen for music, it's like the same, it's like so just formulaic. It's just not, yeah, it's the same thing over and over again. Just not like what it used to used to discover bands and artists on the radio. That is that's impossible. Do you think anything new?

SPEAKER_00 44:25

Where they got creative with it. But like for us locally, still I'm in Chattanooga, but you know, growing up in Atlanta, same thing with Kevin during you know that the primary years of Power 99 and the 99X, they did a great job because they had a lot of fun doing stuff like um, and they would literally they'd had their own the 99x Live, the Acoustic X, was awesome. They get these bands that come in and play, like you know, uh they have brought in David Bowie for Christ's sakes and and interviewed him stuff. That was really cool. Um, but now it's like it's just such a different dynamic now. I'm like you have only listened to XM. There's some that I like, there's some really good, like listening to Little Steven is like uh just a history lesson, he's just so good at it. But even my wife's just like I don't want to hear the talk, I just want to hear play this, play the music. So it just depends on where you're going. Whereas I think podcasts lend themselves, obviously. If you're listening to this, you know how awesome podcasts are you can choose, right?

SPEAKER_01 45:26

You can choose what you want to listen to.

SPEAKER_00 45:28

So yeah, I thought you would find that interesting. I was just trying to come up with some uh some fun topics. Um, definitely check out the Angine de Poitrine. If anything, it's extremely unique, very entertaining. Um don't put ketchup on your eggs, people. Just don't do it. Substitute hot sauce. I got some really good hot sauce recommendations I can have for you. I'm a bit of an expert on hot sauce, I'd like to say.

SPEAKER_01 45:55

But but definitely let us know what you think and email us at uh schizomusicpod at gmail.com.

SPEAKER_00 46:03

Absolutely. What was 1971 album that you think was overlooked, underrated, and any year. It doesn't matter. It could be this year, it could be 1928. I don't care. Right. Just let us know. Give us some give us some recommendations. All right, man. Well, um, that's all I got. All right, yeah. I think we're I think we'll I'll bring you something next time. Sweet, awesome, man. Gun gun to the head, whatever. All right, right, guys. Thank you so much for listening in. We really appreciate it. And until next time, take care. Take it easy.
