Yeah, me too. 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.000 This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:31.320 to Disgraceland, the after Party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode, 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.760 a little thing we like to call the after party. 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.840 This is the show after the show, the party after 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:37.800 the party, the bridge to get you from one full 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.240 episode of Disgraceland to the other. The backyard, to dig 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.720 into the dirt, our mission to uncover the truth, to 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:48.280 confront the myth, to reclaim the story. On this bonus episode, 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.839 we're talking about this week's full episode subject Kendrick Lamar, 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.920 and we're rewinding back to our Grand Parsons episode, previewing 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.960 our upcoming story on Brian Wilson, and we get into 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.760 your voicemails, tech dms, and as always a whole lot 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.600 of rosie. This is the podcast for the musically obsessed. 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.160 The outsider is the independent thinkers who know that the 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.360 best history is the history that gets buried. Disgraceland is 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.760 where I tell the stories they didn't want told, the 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.920 kind you'll end up telling someone else. All Right, this goes, 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:33.080 Let's get into it. Compton, the setting for this week's 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:38.480 full episode of Disgraceland on Kendrick Lamar, located south of 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.360 downtown LA Is regarded by its residents as a tight 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.720 knit community, but for music fans Compton Compton gives an 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.520 outsized impression, one that I would say is actually mythic. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.640 And that's because Compton, from the nineteen eighties on has 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.720 given us some of the most exciting music and culture 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.600 up NWA's Straight Out of Compton was a view into 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.920 a world that captivated those of us who were out 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:11.040 in the middle of nowhere America. Drugs, beatdowns, crooked cops, 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:16.160 drive by shootings, What the hell was this place? Now? 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.480 I'm certain that as a kid, the first time I 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.560 even heard the name Compton it was on that record, 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.959 and I'm pretty sure it was like that for a 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.280 lot of people at my age who weren't from Los Angeles. Now, 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:33.760 imagine being born into that world as Kendrick Lamar was, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.640 and taking all of that influence as your birthright and 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.680 using it to turn yourself into one of the biggest 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.880 and most influential modern musical artists on the planet. It's 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:49.000 pretty impressive, and no other modern musician has taken Compton 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.480 as far as Kendrick Lamar has I said, modern musicians, 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.400 so slow your role. I know you're gonna come at 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.360 me with your NWA Doctor Dre ice Cube takes. But 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.400 again I said, modern modern muse position. What Doctor Dre 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:06.600 did in the nineties was incredible, super impressive. Yes, groundbreaking, sure, 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.560 but that was then and this is now. But you know, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.680 for people like me, and I suspect people like you, 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:18.040 that history is more interesting. So let's look at what 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.399 Compton and the greater self central region of Los Angeles 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.120 has given us for great music, shall we. I already 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.560 mentioned the shot heard around the world, NWA's Straight Out 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:33.280 of Compton from nineteen eighty eight. It's indisputably one of 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.000 the greatest hip hop albums ever, certainly one of the 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.400 most consequential, and it's book ended on the front side 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.560 by Easy Ease nineteen eighty seven single Easy Does It 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.600 and on the backside by Doctor Dre's solo debut The Chronic, 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.840 which comes a little bit later in nineteen ninety two. 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.640 A great record that is also born of this world 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.480 that doesn't get enough mentioned in my view, is Easy 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:03.440 and Dre's bandmate Ice Cube in his sophomore effort, The Predator, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:08.120 also from nineteen ninety two. Now rewind back before Easy 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.920 and to Seth Central Los Angeles, not Compton exactly, but 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.680 pretty much the same neighborhood, same area of LA and 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.680 we get ice T's nineteen eighty seven debut, Rhyme Pays 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:24.800 with its gangster rap genre defining track six in the Morning. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.520 All four of these records, Rhyme Pays by ice T, 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:34.200 Easy's so first solo album straight out of Compton, Doctor 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.840 Dre's Chronic The Predator by Ice Cube. That's five records. Actually, 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.800 all five of these records. They stand up to the 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:46.039 scrutiny of time. Nearly forty years later. Kendrick Lamar was 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.640 in diapers when this music was released, and his second 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.880 album twenty fifteen's To Pimp a Butterfly It deserves to 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.640 be on this list, as does kendricks fall in contemporary 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:01.520 Nipsey Hustles, Mailbox Money. These albums more than their great 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:06.400 music and influence on culture. To me anyway, they're mile 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.320 markers that point us toward just some of the wildest 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:15.960 true crime stories from music history. It's crazy. The murder 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:20.080 of Nipsey Hustle, the survival of Kendrick Lamar, the true 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.680 story behind Ice T's actual life of crime that no 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.000 one seems to really talk about except me. I don't 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.960 know why. And then, of course the strange death of 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:35.840 Easy Easy. Eas official cause of death was from HIV AIDS. However, 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:41.680 in twenty fifteen, his son Young Easy claimed that his 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:47.040 father Eric Wright ak Easy got sick after an incident 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:51.840 with Suge Knight in the recording studio, which okay, And 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.839 then there are these comments from Suge Knight on Jimmy 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.680 Kimmel Live from two thousand and three. 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.400 I'll come check you out right. Why do prove this? 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.520 Oh it's not Oh no, that's just because. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:11.760 While this is a new thing, right, See, if somebody 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.520 gonna do somebody. See technology is so high, right right, 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.000 So if you shoot somebody, you go to Jill Fever. 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.600 So the kids, you don't want to go to Joe Fever. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:19.920 Right. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:21.960 So they got this new thing out that people sell 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.880 them all the time. They got this stuff to call. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.360 They get blood from somebody with. 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.200 AIDS, Yeah, they shoot you with it. 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:33.200 Oh that's death Easy there, you know what I mean? 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:39.760 Yeah? Wait, a light in the moon in the exclusive 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.200 section of this episode that's coming up is that and 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:46.560 I are going to dive into the merits behind whatever 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.159 the fuck it is that sug Knight is talking about 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:55.240 here and Young Easy's claim that sug Knight had his 0:06:55.360 --> 0:07:01.680 father killed via this horrific method that Shulg himself is 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:08.400 describing on national television. Now, I've heard these rumors before. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.160 They came up briefly in the Easy episode that we did. 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.600 It's something that I've never fully wanted to dive into 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.120 until now because I just I got comped in on 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.360 my brain. So we're gonna dig into this. Like I 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.760 said in the exclusive section of this after party, me 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.280 and Zath, we're gonna bring it to you.

I put my heart and my soul 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.839 into everything I write for you guys. But it's hard 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:22.679 for me to think of another episode where I lay 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:28.199 bear my own emotions as heavily as I did in 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.280 this Graham Parsons episode and Graham's I sort of use 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.120 Grams dealings with grief as a proxy for my own 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.800 at the time and what I was going through. I 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:44.320 remember distinctly writing that episode and just how helpful it 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.240 was to have Graham Parsons, the spirit of Gram Parsons 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.360 and his music with me during that really really rough summer. 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.760 So that is coming out next in our feed. That'll 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.440 be hitting up next after this episode, and then we're 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.959 doing something a little bit different. We're gonna We're gonna 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.280 sneak in Beach Boys Part one Beach Boys Part two 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.320 in the coming days after Graham Parsons, because we have 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.840 a new episode on Brian Wilson, who you know passed 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:13.800 away a couple of months ago, and I decided, Hey, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.480 I want to do a Brian Wilson episode. So I 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.480 got in there. I wrote this Brian Wilson episode. It's 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.520 essentially part three of our Beach Boys story. It's a 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.560 man Brian Wilson. This was This was tough. This was 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.880 a tough one to write because so much has been said, written, 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.600 uh put on film about Brian Wilson and Brian Wilson 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.720 one of the rare artists who is a couple of things. 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:42.160 His autobiography is incredible, It's really really great. He's totally 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.240 hard on the sleeve. He tells his story in a 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.240 way that only he can, so that makes it hard 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.400 for somebody like me to come in and write, write 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.520 the story, or tell a unique story, or come in 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.000 with a unique point of view. But then also the 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.920 rare thing is Brian Wilson. I'm like most musicians who 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.760 have biopics. The bio pick on Brian Wilson's actually really good. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.280 I think anyways, love and Mercy, and that just makes 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.640 it again, it makes it difficult when when the stories 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:09.880 that are out there are really good and they cover 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.880 a lot of the most interesting stuff and there's not 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:13.800 a lot, a lot, not a lot left in the 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.080 cracks for us to mine out, makes it really difficult 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.679 to tell these stories in a unique way. But I think, 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.800 you know, I think, I hope, I hope we did 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.480 a good job. I really kind of leaned into the 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.720 spirit of Brian Wilson here and I did not. We 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.880 just Zeth and I and the rest of us at 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.400 Double eleve Us. We didn't intend to have the Kendrick 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:37.320 episode and the Brian Wilson episode hanging on the same theme. 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.160 Zeth wrote the Kendrick episode, I wrote the Brian Wilson one. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:44.440 But but mercy is part of the thematically, is part 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.520 of the same thing here with both episodes, So I 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.600 just worked out that way. But whatever doesn't really matter. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.320 I like when we're hanging on a theme, and I 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.920 hope you dig this episode that's coming up next Tuesday. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.560 It's our next new episode, just Gray SAand on Brian 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.920 Wilson of the Beach Boys. Question of the week for 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.000 next week when you're listening to that Brian Wilson episode, 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.160 it's going to be which figure for music history is 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:12.080 the best example of a tortured genius. Is it Brian Wilson. 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.120 Is it someone like Kurt Cobain or sly Stone who 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.040 also recently departed, Marvin Gay, or maybe it's someone new 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.560 like young Blood. I don't know. There's a lot of 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.480 examples to pull from here, and perhaps to help organize 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.600 your thinking, give me recommendations, maybe on subjects that I 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.640 haven't covered yet, we haven't covered yet in Disgrace, and 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.319 that you might want to hear us cover. Okay, so 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.120 when you're listening to Brian Wilson for obvious reasons, the 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.680 question is going to be what is the best example 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.839 from music history of a tortured genius? Six one seven 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.960 nine six six six three eight voicemail and text to 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.800 let me know right now? Though you know where I 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.800 am at. I am in the phone booth, the one 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.560 across the hall. I am hanging on the telephone. We're answering. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.520 Last week's question of the Week spawned from our Kendrick episode, 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:01.800 which artists demonstrated, uh, the greatest act of mercy. Kind 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.920 of an esoteric question for us to ask, but I 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.840 don't know. We went there and let's check in with 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.280 Cynthia in the five. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:14.800 To one zero, Hey, Jake, Cynthia calling from California. And 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:20.960 musician with the most with mercy was Joan jet I 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.800 went to go see her in the late nineties, first 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.600 time I ever got to see her. I've been a 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.560 fan since I was seven years old, and I had 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:35.920 a full blown panic attack like third song and I 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.680 didn't know what was happening. My head was totally spinning out, 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.240 and as they were oaking me out because I was 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.800 in the very front, I was complaining that I've been 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.320 wanting to see her since I was seven. So I 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:48.719 had to spend the rest of the time in the 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.640 medic tent, probably about I don't know, thirty minutes. There 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.360 was a short set afterwards. A friend of mine had 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.680 gotten to some people backstage, and when she was doing 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.920 our autograph signing at the end, she had to go 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.520 behind the desk where she was and asked if I 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.559 wanted to take a picture. I said yes, I was 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.240 still kind of groggy it, and you know, she put 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.480 her arm around my shoulder and she would just look 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.480 at me and she's like, are you okay? And I 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.400 said yeah. She gave me a little squeeze on the 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.960 arm and then we took the picture and it was 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.640 so awesome. She was so cool, just a really cool, 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.880 genuine person. So that was my story. I hope that 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:32.680 as well. 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.120 Take care, Cynthia. This is an incredible story, and I 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.240 thank you for sharing it with us. I love the 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.440 personal stories, and I always liked jone Jet, but I've 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.440 never met her. I don't know much about her history 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.400 other than you know, just the sort of top level 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.360 Wikipedia stuff what everybody knows. And it's just it warmed 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.760 my heart to hear you tell that story and for 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.440 me to learn that Jone Jet is just a great person. 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:00.440 It sounds like super cool. Love it. By the way, 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.320 you got a great friend there who went and hooked 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.920 that all up where you went backstage, sought out Joan Jet, 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.080 got you to connect with her. That's no easy thing 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.240 to do. All right, let's check you in with the 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.480 seven two four same question here seven two four rights 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:16.960 in hey. As for the topic of next week, it's 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.360 hard not to think of the most merciful artist and 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.040 not think of the appellation queen herself, Dolly Parton. That 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:28.680 woman through her park, her reading program, helping wildlife, LBGTQ 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.120 plus support and more. Make whatever jokes you want about 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:36.240 the woman's chest, but behind is an absolute heart of gold. 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.560 I wasn't gonna say anything about Dolly Parton's chest. I've 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.120 never said anything about Dolly Parton's chest to you, guys, 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.760 or anyone else that I know of. I hear you, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.280 Dolly Parton is the shit. She's amazing and we should 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.600 all celebrate Dolly Parton, and she's a great candidate for 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.240 incredible acts of mercy for music history. Eight one six 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.440 right saying, hey, Jake Chain from the eight one six, 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.000 My text is in regards both to artists showing mercy 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:09.240 and first concerts. My son's first concert at age three 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.360 was Cross Canadian Ragweed and if you haven't heard of them, 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.280 there are music royalty in the Red Dirt Scene. And 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.600 not only was the show amazing, when Cody walked out 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.760 to start the show, he saw my wife standing there 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.600 front row with a baby and a carrier on her chest, 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.840 and made the security go get three more barricade fences 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.520 and box us in on the remaining three sides, so 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.000 we had our own little corral of front row space 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.600 so nobody could bump or spilled beer on the baby. 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.520 True class acts. Look into CCR and the Red Dirt Scene. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.880 Guys who had the opportunity to blow up but chose 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.640 not to sell out love that eight one six. I 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.560 will certainly check that out, and I must have made 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:50.400 you guys feel pretty badass, pretty special. Let's hear from 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:51.760 Arman in Calgary. 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.440 Hey, this is Armand and the Boy three five eight seven. 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.520 I just wanted to find out if you knew about 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:03.280 Lenny appearing on stage with Frankie Goes to Hollywood on 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.720 German TV. If you've not seen it, you need to watch. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:07.160 It once again. 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:11.920 Armand in the four three five h seven, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.080 Love the show. Listen every week faithfully. 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:20.200 Arman from Calgary. This is exactly why I love this gig. 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.320 I have never once in my life heard of lem 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:29.119 Me performing with Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and I'm so 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.280 happy for it. I'm so excited. I'm going to watch. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.760 I hope everybody else watches, and I hope we come 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.680 back next week we talk about it. Six one seven 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.359 nine oh six six six three eight. I want everybody's 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:44.800 take on Lemm Fromoterhead collaborating with Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Okay, 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.680 and don't bring up Dolly Parton's chest when you give 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:52.359 me your Lemmy takes regarding Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Okay. Now, 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.080 let's do a couple of emails, because I've been neglecting 0:17:55.320 --> 0:18:00.240 the emails lately, not on purpose, it just happens. Claire 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.760 Bifford or Buyford. I'm not sure how to pronounce her 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.840 last name right, saying Hey, greetings from beautiful Cornwall, England. 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.840 I'm a longtime listener of Disgrace Sland and Hollywood Land 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.080 and loved the interaction between Jake and Zeff and the 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.040 new rap parties. She goes on to say, can I 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:18.200 recommend a Western read The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt. 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.760 I'm not especially a Western fan, but this book blew 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:22.840 me away. It is set during the gold Rush and 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.879 as some of the true life grit that is often 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.400 missing from stories and films of that period. Yes, Claire, 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.360 this is exactly what I'm looking for. Claire goesana say, 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.119 the book has been made into a film with some 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.320 big names in it, but I haven't watched it as 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.800 it won't match my imagination which was set alive by 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.240 the pros. I loved your episode about the Cramps, which 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:42.680 explained how the hell they were on the same bill 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.200 as the Police. For my brother and I saw them 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.679 at our school's leisure center back in the day. It 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.280 was round about the time the Police released their first album, 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.000 probably before you were born. My brother Simon followed the 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:53.800 Cramps round a few more of their gigs in the 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.119 UK and bumped into Brian Gregory and the bar on 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.560 one occasion, and he bumped a cigarette off Brian. That's 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.440 Brian Gregory from the Cramps, hoping for an exotically flavored one, 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.240 but it turned out to be a good old fashioned 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.920 Lambert and Butler. Claire email us every week. I love 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:10.680 your writing. This is great. Claire goes on to say, 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:14.080 favorite band, Thin Lizzie, favorite mail artist, Bowie, favorite female artists, 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:18.840 Gladys Night, top three albums, Diamond Dogs, Bowie, Course Stone Tuble, Pilots. 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.960 Didn't see that coming, Claire, Fisherman's Blues by the water Boys. 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:26.040 That makes sense. Really love your work. Rock a Rolla, Claire, Claire, 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:30.680 you even spelled out RockA Rolla correct. Write us back anytime, 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:37.040 damn hanging out with the Cramps. Recommending great westerns. Claire, 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.480 you're the best. I'm gonna read The Sisters Brothers by 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.640 Patrick DeWitt. I'm looking forward to it. I got one 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.480 book coming. I'm waiting, I'm waiting. I'm in this. I 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:48.160 hate I hate this, this like period where the book's 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.640 not finished, the last book, the new book's not here, 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.639 Like what am I going to do? I need to 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.240 be reading something always Right now, I'm going to read 0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:00.320 this email from John McNeely aka Johnny Vinyl, who writes, Hey, hey, Jake, 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.960 your Motorhead Lemmy episode was awesome. You had so much 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:06.200 detail in there. What a cool story about you meeting 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:07.800 him back in the nineties. I can't say I met him, 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.479 but when I lived in LA in the early two thousands, 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.359 I saw him a few times at the Rainbow Room 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.000 playing the One Armed Bandit and one of those times 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.040 I got a head nod. One of my favorite rock 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:18.879 docs is aptly titled Lemmy that I own on DVD 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:20.879 and I've watched a few times. And to think he 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.680 lived in a small, rent controlled apartment is so rock 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.080 and roll, Like Ozzie. They just don't make them like 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:27.760 that anymore. And we were lucky to be alive at 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.720 the same time as those legends, John mcnealely, John, You're 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:34.080 absolutely right, complete legend, and we are lucky to have 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.920 breathed the same air the same time in place as 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:44.080 these dudes. Pretty pretty awesome. Disgrace sampod at gmail dot com. 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:45.560 You guys want to send me an email six one 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:47.399 seven nine oh six six sixty three eight. You want 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.080 to hit me up on voicemail or leave me a 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.119 text at Disgrace Sampod on the socials.

I'm really 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.879 in on like two of them. The others they just 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:31.920 kind of build up in my feed and I don't 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:35.359 really check in on them enough to really justify having 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:39.560 them still be subscribed to. And you know I'm not 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:41.520 I'm never gonna listen to so so you know, I know, 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.399 I know, you know, there's only so much time, But 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:45.639 I just want to tell you something you need.
