Hello my beautiful problem children of all ages and welcome to a very special episode of Aurally Fixated. Today we’re talking about the dangers of narcotics. It’s the 26 day of June, and that means it’s the international Day against drug abuse and trafficking. Drug addiction is a shitty fucking thing that should be avoided. And if you do think you might have a problem please look into getting some help. And with that said, much like World No Tobacco Day, that isn’t going to be all of what today’s show is about. But I did think Sage Francis gnawing his way through the opening of this show with Goin Back to Rehab was the perfect way to begin. And naturally I had to follow up with Ms. Amy Winehouse. Now, let us start with some gateway drugs and go wading into some Muddy Waters with some Champagne & Reefer.
0:11:55-0:16:24) Champagne & Reefer by Muddy Waters off of King Bee
0:16:25-0:17:19) Maijuana a 1960s PSA off of Devil’s Jukebox: Taboo 60s
0:17:20-0:20:29) Ganja by Bitch And Animal off of Eternally Hard
0:20:30-0:20:59) Brain on Drugs PSA 2
0:21:00-0:21:09) Ecstacy by Vanilla Ice off of Hard To Swallow
0:21:10-0:27:09) Great Times On Drugs by Bill Hicks off of Flying Saucer Tour, Vol 1:
0:27:10-0:27:49) Wasted by Circle Jerks off of Group Sex
0:27:50-0:30:39 (Rev’s Interruption Music 2: One Man Bank by Guano Padano off of 2)
That was the Circle Jerks with Wasted off their 1980 debut Group Sex. Those 15 songs are a pretty perfect way to spend 15 minutes and 25 seconds. Black Flag’s Waisted was on their 1979 debut EP Nervous BreakDown, written by Greg Ginn and cofounder and then singer Keith Morris. Mr. Morris had a little “freak out on speed and cocaine” that caused him to leave the band and start the Circle Jerks, and created his own take on the song. Before those few jagged seconds we heard from the late, grate Saint Bill Hicks preaching at us about his Great Times On Drugs. The hymn before that was a track from Bitch And Animal called Ganja, from their Righteous Babe release Eternally Hard. And now that we graduated from Champagne & Reefer let’s take a little trip and dance around to some Dog Fashion Disco as they sing and shout their Acid Memoirs.
0:30:40-0:33:49) The Acid Memoirs by Dog Fashion Disco off of Committed to a Bright Future
0:33:50-0:35:19) Drugs Have Done Good Things by Bill Hicks off of Flying Saucer Tour, Vol 1

0:38:40-0:39:15) LSD 25 a Training Film off of Devil’s Jukebox: Taboo 60s

0:43:11-0:46:05) Whiskey And Weed And L.S.D. by Patton Oswalt off of My Weakness Is Strong

0:46:20-0:46:40) “I Learned it from watching you” – PSA
0:46:41-0:48:19) Lysergic Acid Diethylamide by ESham off of DMT Sessions
0:48:20-0:51:24) Rev’s Interruption Music 3 : Black & Tan Fantasy by Duke Ellington off of Best of Duke Ellington
When you start off with Dog Fashion Disco there’s no telling where you’ll end up. Those Acid Memoirs were off Committed to a Bright Future. After that we had Bill Hicks follow-up to his previous bit from his Flying Saucer Tour. And we followed that up with a song the band swears is about Lewis Carroll and a child’s drawing. That was Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds off Sgt. Pepper and the Lonely Hearts Club Band. Then we had the Lunachicks singing about that old urban legend about the BabySitters on Acid. From that baby story to Patton Oswalt explaining that having a kid made him scale back his Whiskey, And Weed, And L.S.D. That’s from his My Weakness Is Strong album. Then we put a nice little bow on it with ESham and a little love song to drugs called Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, off his album DMT Sessions. Now lets take some Little Blue Pills and make our Days a Daze.
0:51:25-0:55:44) Little Blue Pills Pt. 2 by Days N Daze off of The Oogle Deathmachine
0:55:45-0:58:10) Pills I Took by Hank Williams III off of Straight To Hell

1:01:45-1:02:30) Pee Wee’s Crack PSA
1:02:31-1:05:54) Who’s Got The Crack by The Moldy Peaches off of The Moldy Peaches
1:05:55-1:08:30 (Rev’s Interruption Music 4 : Valley Of Death by Cunninlynguists off of Dirty Acres)
I know times are tough and all those little indy bands I’m always preachifying about are struggling right along with us. I’m not saying to donate, or even buy anything if you’re having trouble getting by. But if there is a little group or label you love, and can afford to – buy an album, or a shirt, or something. It might mean the difference of them being able to create more music ever again. But enough of that.
We started that line of music off with Days N Daze from their The Oogle Deathmachine album (which like almost all of their albums, is” pay what you feel is right” on BandCamp. That was there lovely little love-song Little Blue Pills Pt. 2. Then we heard Hank Williams III with a version of Those Poor Bastards tune Pills I Took. Those Pills took us into KottonMouth Kings cry for help, Johnny’s got a problem. Then a public service announcement from our old friend PeeWee Herman. And finally we brought up the rear with The Moldy Peaches, from their self titled record that was Who’s Got The Crack. And now let’s keep rolling along with Pink, doing an almost too Slick cover of another Lewis Carroll inspired song.
1:08:31-1:11:04) White Rabbit by Pink off of Beautiful Trauma
1:11:05-1:12:29) Drugs Are For Kids by Doug Stanhope off of Die Laughing
1:12:30-1:12:39) I’m Happy by Denis Leary off of Lock ‘n Load
1:12:40-1:13:09) Panny – PSA
1:13:10-1:14:40) Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue by The Ramones off of Weird Tales of the Ramones
1:14:41-1:17:05) Take A Bump by Three 6 Mafia off of When the Smoke Clears
1:17:06-1:21:59) PusherMan by Curtis Mayfield off The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield
1:22:00-1:23:10 (Rev’s Interruption Music 5: We Put A Pearl In The Ground by St. Vincent off of Marry Me)
As you know we started it off with Pink Covering the Grace Slick masterwork White Rabbit. Then came Doug Stanhope with Drugs Are For Kids. And the next actual tune we heard was Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue by The Ramones. Then came the Three 6 Mafia encouraging us to Take A Bump. And finally we heard Curtis Mayfield with PusherMan. Originally I’d though of that song starting off a block of homages to it; one from Chance the Rapper, one from Eminem, and one from Ice-T. But now, for something completely different.
1:23:11-1:26:34) Billie’s Cocaine a Michael Jackson and Eric Clapton mash-up by Bill McClintock
1:26:35-1:29:05) Your Parents’ Cocaine by The Coup ft. Justin Sane off of Sorry To Bother You
1:29:06-1:31:09) Heroin and Cocaine by The Tiger Lillies off of Births Marriages And Deaths
1:31:10-1:32:04) Heroin a Documentary off of Devil’s Jukebox: Taboo 60s
1:32:05-1:36:34) Old Fsdhioned Morphine by Jolie Holland off of Escondida
1:36:35-1:38:15 (Rev’s Interruption Music 6: Stoned As You by Factor off of Lawson Graham)
Gimme the sweet smoke of Jolie Holland’s voice any day. That was her with some delicious Old Fsdhioned Morphine. And the song before that was the gloriously fun, foul, and blasphemous oddity that is the Tiger Lillies. Immediately preceding that we had Your Parents’ Cocaine from The Coup. (who, you may remember from our first episode, New Year’s Day.) This one was backed by the voice of Anti-Flag – Justin Sane. And we kicked it all off with the Michael Jackson and Eric Clapton mash-up Billie’s Cocaine by a bill Bill McClintock. The video is pretty superbly edited together too.
I know some of you clockwatchers have noticed that I blew way passed my usual 80 minutes, but if you can still hear me, thanks for sticking it out. But I am going to leave you now with a song that needs no introduction. So I’ll just say thanks for being Aurally Fixated with me.
1:38:16) Master of Puppets by Metallica off of Master of Puppets
