0:03:55 (Rev’s music for interruptions 1: Preludes Nos.1-5: No.2 in E Major – Arpeggins – Allegro by Georgi Morawsky off of 66 Must-Have Spanish Guitar Masterpieces)

That was those very 90’s master the tasteless tounge-in-cheek the Bloodhound Gang with Three Point One Four, because today is the 14th day of the 3rd month. 3/14. PI Day. And that’ll probably be the last song that has to do with sex. Especially when shows like Valentine’s and Fetish day are still burning so close  in our rearview. Welcome once again to Aurally Fixated. It is I, your friend to the friendless, Rev. here to remind you to let Plastic Jesus take the wheel. And away we go!

0:06:45) Two Dreadful Children by Cruella De Ville off of Two Dreadful Children – Single

0:18:55) ’52 Ford by Murder By Death off of Red Of Tooth And Claw

0:21:20 (Rev’s music for interruptions 2: Leave-Taking by Rocket Juice & The Moon off of Rocket Juice & The Moon)

What a funny/dreary band. But what can one expect from a group named after a classic murder-comedy… Murder By Death. From Red Of Tooth And Claw that was ’52 Ford. And the dreamy chanty we traded-in to get that ’52 Ford was a remix of one called 1940 by The Submarines. We led into those old vehicles with a little itty bitty bit of a ditty by Childish Gambino entitled death by numbers. And Immediately preceding that, from The House That Dirt Built we heard The Heavy with Sixteen. Then right before that, representing 3 Boroughs, since the late 80s, the X-ecutioners. From Revolutions we had The Countdown, Pt. 2 featuring Blue Man Group. And we started it all off with Two Dreadful Children by Cruella De Ville.

0:23:25) Old Number Seven by Devil Makes Three off of The Devil Makes Three 

0:26:40) 7 Devils by the goddamn gallows off of Seven Devils

0:31:15) Seven Devils by Sadistik off of Flowers For My Father

0:36:40 (Rev’s music for interruptions 3: Mano De Mono by Corrosion Of Conformity off of Deliverance)

From Sadistik‘s Flowers For My Father that was Seven Devils. And right before them we had about a minute’s worth of wordless Corrosion Of Conformity entitled #2121313. Previous to that were seven more devils, the title track off the goddamn gallows record, 7 Devils. And we began it all with that Old Number Seven from Devil Makes Three self titled album. 

Please go to some of these bands sites. Try and help support them any way you can. Buy their music. When you can go see them play live. Most of these bands work their own merch-tables, so go meet them, buy something from them, you won’t regret it.

0:54:14 (Rev’s music for interruptions 4: Bird Feathers by Charlie Parker off of Swinging Big Bands, Vol. 3)

We stated that tall teetering tower of song with an absolute delectable little number from Little Jackie. Off Made4TV we had 31 Flavors. Then came Supernova doing Math, after which followed a little bit of George Carlin, Playin’ With Your Head and talking about his Five Twos. Then was the one and only Howlin’ Wolf giving us all his 300 Pounds Of Joy. After Mr. Wolf we were graced yet again by the quirky genius that is Imani Coppola reminding us to Count to 10. And lastly we heard Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck) from Run The Jewels’ second album, and with Zack De La Rocha form Rage Against the Machine. What’s that you say? That song doesn’t fit thematically, just titularly? Well then we here at Aurally fixated Inc. recommend you just take a deep breath, Close Your Eyes, and Count To Fuck-you! Because thematically that song is the most important one this episode. Anyway, I’m getting riled up and need to take a second or five.

0:57:35) Five Seconds by Peeping Tom Feat. Odd Nosdam off of Peeping Tom

1:01:50) 2:19 by Tom Waits off of Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards

1:06:40) 11:59 by Michael Franti & Spearhead off of All People

1:10:25) Six Forty Five by FireWater off of The Golden Hour

1:15:25 (Rev’s music for interruptions 5: Casella Walk off of Dap-Dippin’ with… Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings) 

Right there was a track off my must-listen to while (tropically) traveling album, The Golden Hour. That was Firewater taking us on a little wander through their night beginning and ending at Six Forty Five. Immediate previous to that we had Michael Franti & Spearhead warning us that it’s 11:59 (on the Doomsday Clock.) And just in font of that from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, we heard Tom Waits telling us of how his baby left him on the 2:19.

Did you know that railroads invented time? Well, timezones at least.
Noon used to be whatever the sun was straight above, and since old clocks and watches were shit at keeping accurate time, folks would guess and set them to that-ish. And since there was no internet, TV, or phones there was no way to check, so each town lived in their own bubble of time. Until the railroads. Trains had to depart and arrive at specific uniform times, no matter where the sun was, from coast to coast – or else there might be a collision! In short the railroads invented Time just so Tom Waits’s baby could leave him precisely on the 2:19. So nowadays seconds count – speaking of which, we began with Five Seconds by Peeping Tom.

1:18:00) 23 Beers by The Circus Contraption Band off of The Half-Wit’s Descent

1:21:10) Smoke Two Joints by Richard Cheese off of Tuxicity

1:22:40) One Piece At A Time by Johnny Cash off of 16 Biggest Hits

1:28:55) 2nd Line Hop by LowDown Brass Band off of LowDown Breaks

1:31:50 (Rev’s music for interruptions 6: The Master Plan by The Gun Club off of The Las Vegas Story)

Ok, that was another meandering journey into sound, let’s catch up. We began with 23 Beers by the Circus Contraption Band. Then we moved on and up to Smoke Two Joints with Richard Cheese covering the old early 80s reggae track from the Toyes. Then we switched gears with Johnny Cash giving us One Piece At A Time. Then came The Beastie Boys with a 5-Piece Chicken Dinner. Then 9mm and a Three Piece Suit came blasting out of the Keasbey Nights. (The Catch 22 version.) Which beautifully bled into that big bewitching LowDown Brass Band doing the 2nd Line Hop – referring to the famous New Orleans parades Second Line. (I assume)

Now we have a number about what to do with the birth-rates falling and life-expectancy extending, and the old/evil outnumber the beautiful youth.

1:33:35) Five To One by The Doors off of Waiting For The Sun

1:37:55) Count by David Ramos off of This Up Here

1:38:30) Count on It by Ceschi off of Count on It / Bad Jokes

1:48:40 (Rev’s music for interruptions 7: Boogie Woogie by Count Basie off of Jazz Greats 1)

That weird, over-the-top Danny Lohner remix of A Perfect Circle’s Pet was entitled Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums. Before that we had Ceschi with one of his more difficult-to-find singles called Count on It. And we led into his song with a little melody from his little brother David Ramos celled Count. And we kicked it all off with The Doors and Five To One.

Now a bit of bizarre and blistering balladry from Marnie Stern’s album This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That.

1:51:05) Prime by Marnie Stern off of This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That 

1:53:35) The Final Countdown by Leo Moracchioli off of Leo Metal Covers Volume 12

1:58:00 (Rev’s music for interruptions 8: I Am Locust by The Mag Seven off of End Sounds Ten Year Anniversary Sampler)

As you probably surmised by Leo Moracchioli covering Europe, this is The Final Countdown. And so now we end with one form the Muse album The 2nd Law, here is The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

2:00:20) The 2nd Law: Unsustainable by Muse off of The 2nd Law

Bonus track) The count uncensored

0:02:25) Love Song by Stephen Lynch off of The Craig Machine

0:03:30) (Rev. Interruption 1 BackGround music: The Sleep by Psychotica off of Psychotica)

Greeting and salutations my lovelies, filthies, and all those both, neither and in-between. Welcome to the fourteenth day of February. Yes, that’s right, Saint Valentine’s Day. And what a perfect way to start off this felt-heart episode, with Ol’ Blue Eyes singing to his Funny (looking) Valentine. But as much as I do love Sinatra him kicking off today’s show, with such a classically schmaltzy song, was my idea of a joke. Because there’s no way I’m just doing a straight Valentine’s Day show, hence the Love Song by Stephen Lynch that followed 

And in kinda keeping with that, from their album 69 Love Songs, Vol. 3 here’s The Magnetic Fields, or as boasted, The King Of The Boudoir.  

0:04:55) For We Are The King Of The Boudoir by The Magnetic Fields off of 69 Love Songs, Vol. 3  

G0:06:05) Cumin’ Hard by Eddie Murphy off of Greatest Comedy Hits

0:10:45) Let it be Me by The Beatles Vs. Shaggy

0:13:05) Ain’t Never Loved A Man The Way that I Love You by Aretha Franklin off of I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

0:16:45 (Rev. Interruption 2 BackGround music: Prison Prism by Ani DiFranco off of Revelling: Reckoning)

That was the one and only Queen of Soul Ms. Aretha Franklin with the title track off her perfect record I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You. Before that we had a couple of tracks that I just had to stick together. The first was a bit of old stand-up from Eddie Murphy and then a song it inspired, the Beatles / Shaggy mash-up of Let It Be and It Wasn’t me. 

Ya know, I often look at all the romantic conflicts in popular culture; books and movies, and songs, and I wonder what the world would look like without all the “I caught them with another person” and “I have to choose between 2 people” kinda drama.

0:18:20) Triad by Jefferson Airplane off of Crown Of Creation

0:22:55) Three Is A Magic Number by Blind Melon off of Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks   

0:25:05) Kinky (Acoustic) by Kesha originally from High Road

0:28:50 (Rev. Interruption 3 BackGround music: Frosti by Bjork off of Vespertine)

That was Kesha doing an Acoustic version of her incredibly fun song Kinky, originally from her High Road album. And before that was Three Is A Magic Number, the old Schoolhouse Rock! tune but preformed by Blind Melon, from the Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks compilation. Just before that we heard a song written in 1967 by David Crosby when he was with the Byrds. At the time it was so beyond the pale the rest of the band refused to release it, and fired Crosby. So he went and started Crosby Steels Nash and Young and sold the song to Jefferson Airplane.

You know my friends, Life is an all-you-can-eat-buffet, and when you reach the end you may be disappointed if you find you’ve spent all your time just on the chicken cold-cuts. I say try everything, how who else are you going to know If You’re Into It.

0:30:30) If You’re Into It by Flight Of The Conchords off of The Distant Future

0:32:10) Kinky Love by Nancy Sinatra off of Sheet Music

0:34:35) What Are You? By Matt Sweeney & Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy off of Superwolf

0:37:05) Formidable Marinade (feat. Mikelangelo & Lance Horne) by Amanda Palmer off of Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under

0:42:05 (Rev. Interruption 4 BackGround music: Last Nights Dream by Factor off of Chandelier)

We stared off with Flight Of The Conchords asking If You’re Into It. Then came Nancy Sinatra pining away for your Kinky Love. After her we had Matt Sweeney & Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy from Superwolf with the song What Are You? And lastly was Michalangelo and the black sea gentleman (with Amanda palmer on piano) singing about a Formidable Marinade. 

  At least half of that set were joke songs because abnormal sexual proclivities can be easy to laugh at. But it’s hard to argue the fact that Kinky sex is pretty great. There’s so much trust involved in sharing those most intimate, possibly embarrassing parts of oneself with another. And possibly stretching your personal-boundaries a bit for another. Even those who have sex with lots of folks often save those deepest parts of themselves for those they can really trust. It’s a gift and a compliment. Now, is that way those songs are on here, or am I just cleaning out some leftovers from our International Fetish Day episode? Who’s to say. Either way, here’s some more Romantic Junk.  

0:44:50) Romantic Junk by Red Elvises off of Grooving to the Moscow Beat

0:47:55) How Fucking Romantic by The Magnetic Fields off of 69 Love Songs, Vol. 1

0:48:55) True Romance by Tiger Army off of Tiger Army

0:51:10) A Fine Romance by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong off of Ella & Louis Sing Gershwin

0:55:00) A Rancid Romance by Diablo Swing Orchestra off of Sing-Along Songs For the Damned and Delirious

0:59:25 (Rev. Interruption 5 BackGround music: Hero by Zion I off of Heroes In The City of Dope)

First we had Red Elvises with their sweet song Romantic Junk. Which was followed up by our second song from The Magnetic Fields this episode How Fucking Romantic. But this one was off of 69 Love Songs, Vol. 1. Then, because I haven’t played nearly enough psychobilly came Tiger Army, off their self titled album telling us about True Romance. Then came the always beautiful duet and crackling charisma of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, this time a little bit at odds in A Fine Romance. And lastly, continuing on that theme was Diablo Swing Orchestra with A Rancid Romance. Off Sing-Along Songs For the Damned and Delirious. 

And now for something perfect for this cheesy holiday. Recorded way back in 69, here is the sooth voice, of Arthur Prysock, asking you to Come Love Me.

1:00:50) Come Love Me by Arthur Prysock off of This Is My Beloved

1:03:20) Love Ain’t (f. Tonedeff) by Cunninlynguists off of Southernunderground 

1:07:20) This Love by Pantera off of Vulgar Display of Power

1:13:45 (Rev. Interruption 6 BackGround music: First Prelude by Factor & The Chandeliers off of Factor & The Chandeliers EP)

Well it’s just about time to bring this love-struck, punch-drunk episode to a close. And wether you’re alone, committed, both or neither, I truly hope that spending this time together has brightened your day a little. I know it has mine. 

Before the sweet sorrow of our parting, I leave you with a few more hymns. First we have Greg Brown from Songs Of Innocence And Of Experience, where he sets the poems of William Blake to music. Then we’ll have Shihan with a track called This Type Love from back in the old Def Poetry Jam days. 

According to Catholics Saint Valentine was beheaded some time in the third century, they also believe this to be a harsh punishment, as I look around today all I can think is, “Ha, Silly catholics.” And in honor of him and his day will end this show with the Suicidal Tendencies anthem, Won’t Fall In Love Today. 

1:15:20) The Garden Of Love by Greg Brown off of Songs Of Innocence And Of Experience

1:16:05) This Type Love by Shihan off of Def Poetry Jam

1:19:15) Won’t Fall In Love Today by Suicidal Tendencies off of Still Cyco After All These Years

Bonus Track) It Wasn’t Me by Chuck Berry off of Rock’ N Roll Rarities

0:00:01) Enter Sandman (in the Style of David Bowie) by Anthony Vincent from Ten Second Songs

1:05:00 (Rev’e First Interruption Music: Don’t Come Back by O’Death off of Outside)

Welcome to the twenty-fifth day of the chilly chilly month of January, Opposite Day! That’s why we began with that re-innovation of Metallica. That was by Mr. Anthony Vincent from the Youtube Channel Ten Second Songs. Obviously that was him channeling David Bowie and completely covering Enter Sandman – as if it was from Let’s Dance.

0:07:05) Space Oddity by The Neanderthals off of The Neanderthals In Space 

0:09:55) For Whom The Bell Tolls by Apocalyptica off of Inquisition Symphony

0:18:50) You Ain’t Never Been Loved by Mark Growden off of Lose Me in the Sand

0:22:00 (Rev’e second Interruption Music: Hastings Street Boogie by John Lee Hooker off of The Blues Biography)

From Lose Me in the Sand that was Mark Growden flipping the script and turning the tables on the last great Aretha Franklin’s first single  I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You. Then immediately previous to that was the Queen herself putting her own brand of polish on Eleanor Rigby. And jumping back before that we had the ladies cello society that is Rasputin covering Led Zeppelin’s Rock and Roll. And speaking of cellos, before that, just gloriously torturing beautiful, centuries old cellos was Apocalyptica classing up For Whom The Bell Tolls. And we started it all off with one of Eddie Angel of Los Straitjackets side-projects, from The Neanderthals In Space was a very surfy Space Oddity. 

Now here’s that Ten Second songs guy again, Anthony Vincent cramming 10 songs together in one person’s style, I wonder if you’ll be able to figure out who’s soul he’s borrowing. 

0:24:15) 10 Songs in the Style of Ozzy Osbourne by Anthony Vincent from Ten Second Songs

0:28:10) Crazy Train by Pat Boone off of In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy

0:37:15) Sabbra Cadabra by (hed) p.e. off of Nativity in Black II

0:45:25 (Rev’e third Interruption Music: Rotary Connection by Rocket Juice & The Moon off of Rocket Juice & The Moon)

That discordantly lovely take on Sabbra Cadabra was from a Black Sabbath tribute album, and that wildness from (hed) p.e. and I just can’t get enough of the way it makes me wince. Before that we had Ozzy Osbourne reviving the Bee Gees Stayin’ Alive. It was a toss-up between that and the duet of Born To Be Wild he did with Ms. Piggy. And before that we heard from the pop, country, gospel singing, human glass of nice, wholesome milk that is Pat Boone. He outraged a lot of his long-term fans when he released his album In A Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy. From that was his revival of Ozzy’s Crazy Train. And as I said we stated it off with 10 Songs in the Style of Ozzy Osbourne. There were snippets of: Christina Aguilera, Toto, Enya, Linkin Park, No Doubt, Harry Styles, The Police, Kendricl Lamar, Papa Roach, and of course Sinatra.   

0:42:30) WAP by Margo Price from The Daily Social Distancing Show

0:44:10) Boyz-N-The-Hood by Dynamite Hack off of Take A Bite Outta Rhyme

0:47:10) Can I Kick It? By LowDown Brass Band off of LowDown Breaks

0:51:10) Bring The Pain by Mindless Self Indulgence off of Tight 

0:54:50 (Rev’e fourth Interruption Music: Massage Parlor by Mike Patton off of Crank High Voltage)

Originally Method Man’s very first solo single, but this time from Mindless Self Indulgence’s first album Tight, that was Bring The Pain. Before that we heard the LowDown Brass Band, a marching band from Chicago, covering the Tribe Called Quest classic Can I Kick It?.Then, from the Rock Tribute to Rap album Take A Bite Outta Rhyme we heard Dynamite Hack’s serenading us with Boyz-N-The-Hood. And we set it all off with Margo Price giving us a twangy taste of WAP.

Ok, next is a metal Band from Madrid, Spain called A Blackened Sight giving us their take on… Kesha.

0:56:10) TiK ToK by A Blackened Sight off of TiK ToK

1:00:10) Your Love Is My Drug by Johnny Dissent off of Tales From The Garbage Can: B-Sides & Singles

1:09:30 (Rev’e fifth Interruption Music: Moments by Giraffage off of The Best Love Is Free Vol. 3)

Ok, that beautiful and breathy Bob Dylan rendition was of course by Ms. Kesha Rose Sebert. Immediately preceding that we heard Killing A Classic redoing Die Young. That tune it pay what you want on BandCamp, I’m sure I got it for 69 cents of something like that. Yes, Im also that guy who usually buy the Name Your Price alums for $6.66 too. Speaking of which, I believe the gentlemen before that, Johnny Dissent, all of his albums are name your price. Twaz his folk-punk-version of Your Love Is My Drug. 

1:11:35) Bohemian Rhapsody (in the Style of System of a Down) by Anthony Vincent from Ten Second Songs

Bonus Track ) Never… (in the Style of Korn) by Anthony Vincent from Ten Second Songs

I’m Rev.  You’re the best. We a Aurally Fixated. And today, the Thirtieth Day of July, is the International Day of Friendship. I hope you bought your insulin and toothbrush because it’s gonna get sickening sweet up in here today,  hence Thank You For Being a Friend, the olden Golden Girls theme. Lets keep the good vibes going with the White Stripes.

0:11:35 (Rev’s Second Interruption: Ghosts by Caravan Palace off of Chronologic)

Nope, not gonna do it. You’ve gotten enough Free To Be…You And Me back on International Human Solidarity Day. That was just Glad To Have A Friend LikeYou. Before that we had the Bill Withers classic, Lean On Me. And right before that was Weezer with All My Friends Are Insects off the soundtrack from The Aquabats TV series Yo Gabba Gabba!. It’s as weird and fun an album as you’d imagine with an odd hodgepodge of artiste like; Devo, Biz Markie, Weird Al, George Clinton, Jimmy Eat World, and My chemical romance being wretchedly happy/bouncy… Now, let’s shake that off with P.O.S and his Weird Friends. 

0:13:05) Weird Friends (We Don’t Even Live Here) by P.O.S off of We Don’t Even Live Here

0:27:05 (Rev’s Third Interruption: Without Wings by Corrosion Of Conformity off of Deliverance)

Hello again friends, I am glad that you’re hearing me today, this day about our chosen families. As you know, we started off with the Weird Friends track from the album We Don’t Even Live Here. Then how could we have World Friendship Day without playing The World/Inferno Friendship Society? That was Three Parts What the Fuck, from All Borders Are Porous To Cats. Then came The Dresden Dolls with My Alcoholic Friends. And we ended with Car Seat HeadRest. The nice, concise title of the tune is Drugs With Friends. It’s full ineffable, effable parenthetical name is (Joe Gets Kicked Out of School for Using) Drugs With Friends (But Says This Isn’t a Problem). I’d wanted to play it for June’s Drug episode but it fits here just as well. Now one for all my wonderful partners in crime out there, whoever you are.

0:42:10 (Rev’s Fourth Interruption: Security Of The First World by Public Enemy off of It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back)

That strange bit of AvantCore Befriend The Friendless Friendster from Busdriver’s album Fear Of A Black Tangent. (a nod to Public Enemy‘s Fear of A Black Planet) I obviously lied about there being no more Free To Be…You And Me but maybe Dudley Pippin & His No-Friend will be it. That followed closely behind The Dead South and In Hell I’ll Be In Good Company. That video is simple, compelling, and delivers its message perfectly. Check it out. And we started off with FireWater bringing us Another Perfect Catastrophe from their Ponzi Scheme. Now songs is about those “part time lovers and full time friends.”

0:43:34) Goin Out Tonight by Adam Ezra Group off of Better Than Bootleg Vol. 1

There were the godfathers of queer-core Pansy Division with their Fuck Buddy. And right before that we enjoyed some Moldy Peaches with Anyone Else But You. Before which we had a Pure Morning with Placebo. And we we started it all off by Goin Out Tonight with the Adam Ezra Group. Now some real Fox and the Hound shit.

1:07:45) Beyond The End by Ceschi off of Broken Bone Ballads

1:12:20 (Rev’s Sixth Interruption: Hallucination by Mike Patton off of Crank: High Voltage)

We started that off with Chance The Rapper and his old Summer Friends. Which we followed up with a song from the only record by Mad Season. The members of Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, and Screaming Trees made one beautiful album. Then we ended with one of my favorites, Ceschi. From his perfect record Broken Bone Ballads that was Beyond The End. All these slow songs got me thinking, Like Mary Hopkins famously did “Those Were The Days, My Friend.”

1:13:11) Those Were The Days, My Friend by Mary Hopkin off of Post Cards

1:18:10) Rev’s Seventh Interruption

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

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

0:46:06-0:46:19) Noticias by Mike Patton off of Crank High Voltage SoundTrack

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
