Welcome back to another episode of rock roulette podcast. That's right, the crazy ass podcast. It took over 2000 albums. Stuck them in a list, stuck them in a wheel. Every other week we spin the wheel. She picks a record for us and we go through it track by track. We talk about the music, the lyrics, the production, the melody and the arrangement and we give it scores. It's a bunch of friends who love music want to do a podcast and the Ship of Discovery and we, Discovery, want to thank you. Keep the listens coming. Throw a comment, tell us what you like, what you don't like. Suggest an album for the Mama Wheel or Song for the Baby Wheel. I think we've done two songs so far on the Baby Wheel and I think we've liked them both. Keep those suggestions coming. We really, really like it. We are a trio. We've got Frank. [00:01:52] Speaker C: My name is Frank. And I'm sex. [00:02:07] Speaker D: Hello everybody. [00:02:08] Speaker B: We have Mark. [00:02:09] Speaker D: Oh hi Mark. [00:02:10] Speaker E: What's up guys? [00:02:10] Speaker B: And I'm Sad. [00:02:11] Speaker F: Ciao Buena Thera. [00:02:13] Speaker B: Last week we wrapped up our Halloween episode. We did welcome to My Nightmare by Alice Cooper and overall I think it was pretty good. A little bit creepy. Definitely some creepy subject matter, Some good musicianship, some good experimentation. It was pretty good. People have a right to say that this is one of the strongest albums. I think I don't really have a lot to compare it to, but the fact that we liked it, I think we'd probably rank it pretty highly. Mark, what was your overall take? [00:02:36] Speaker E: I thought it was great. I wasn't too sure about the creepiness factor until the second side, which I did like a lot. Bob Resin's a great producer. Production was great. Musicianship was great. Alice Cooper's vocals were great. Lyrics were great. I want to hear some more Alice Cooper. Hopefully we get some more later on. [00:02:51] Speaker B: Frank, what was your overall take? [00:02:52] Speaker G: Never been an Alice Cooper fan. I knew his Popular songs. After hearing now the second album, I'm gonna say three things. Number one, I think he would have been an amazing musical writer in terms of writing musicals because just from these two concept albums, they were so cool and I could just picture them being a musical. As far as the album Saf, I think you said this was a very high ranking. [00:03:10] Speaker B: When I've looked at people ranking Alice Cooper records, this is always towards the top. [00:03:14] Speaker G: Loved it. I love the whole creepiness about it, especially the last song. The last song was just, wow, this dude is really crazy because it was that happy, chipper song after side two and just getting that last song that was so upbeat. It was really, really cool. I like that part. [00:03:29] Speaker B: Yep. Definitely glad we got it. We get to spin the wheel tonight. I feel as if we haven't really gone in blind for a bit. I'm really, really excited. Before we get to the mama wheel, we're going to get to the new back session and the baby wheel [00:03:41] Speaker H: in where new music is not easy to find. Welcome to New Bets. [00:03:59] Speaker E: Okay, here's the new Bets wheel. [00:04:14] Speaker B: The retrograde, Cinematic Breakdown. What up with that, Mark? [00:04:18] Speaker E: They came up on my Facebook feed and I decided to add them in. I add them in this week. It's pretty cool that they came up [00:04:24] Speaker B: nice. [00:04:24] Speaker E: I know nothing about them. We're gonna go into this blind. This is Cinematic Breakdown by the retrograde. [00:04:46] Speaker I: I see you looking at me I watch you fading slowly today you stop the right way oh, please don't give it all away I watch you stand on breakdown. A death that seeming will care control what you won't forget just when I see through your life you blame it on the family T. I watch your S. Sam. I. [00:06:49] Speaker B: Not too bad. Good production. His voice reminded me a mix of the dude from Tesla. And is it Chris Robinson who sings for the Black Crows? Or is that the guitar player brother? [00:06:59] Speaker G: No, Chris Robinson. [00:07:00] Speaker B: Damn. Not bad. Not too bad. I'd be interested in seeing what else is going on, Mark. [00:07:04] Speaker E: Yeah, it was pretty good. I liked it. I always like when you have hints of what the influence is, but it's not so blatant. You can hear lots of different stuff in there, but I like that. I thought it was really good. [00:07:13] Speaker B: What'd you think, Frank? [00:07:14] Speaker G: I'm right there with you, Sav. He did sound a little bit like Chris Robinson. The song itself sounded something that could have came from the Black Crows of Morica. That album, it sounded very close to that. I liked it. Nice find by Facebook. [00:07:26] Speaker E: Once in a while, the algorithm does Work. If you like it or you don't like it, hit us up on social media and let us know. And let's rubber stamp it. [00:07:35] Speaker H: In a world where new music is not easy to find. Welcome to New Bets. [00:07:53] Speaker B: And now we get to spin the mama wheel, which is always amazing fun. It's usual. We will go round table and ask what you think or what you want. Frank, let's start with you. What do you think? What do you want? [00:08:05] Speaker G: Southern rock. A little Southern rock. It'll be a nice change of pace. [00:08:09] Speaker B: That song put you in the mood for it? [00:08:11] Speaker G: It absolutely did, [00:08:12] Speaker B: Mark. [00:08:13] Speaker E: That's a good choice. I don't know what I want to do now. I'll say 90s of some sort. I don't know what kind of 90s. [00:08:21] Speaker B: I like this whole discovery thing. I really, really do. Especially if it's something we know the band, but we don't know the record. I call for that a lot. I really like that. I'm thinking something in the 80s this week. [00:08:33] Speaker E: Well, let's do it. Let's spin the wheel. Here is the Whee. [00:08:57] Speaker B: The Donnas by the Donnas. That's cool. Wow. Got your 90s, Mark? [00:09:02] Speaker E: Yeah, just barely. 1997, it looks like. [00:09:05] Speaker B: Yeah. And I got my discovery. This is another band always heard of. Heard a couple things here and there, but never a full album. [00:09:11] Speaker E: It looks like the album is really short and the songs are really short. [00:09:18] Speaker B: Frank, not only did you not get Southern rock, but they're from Northwest California, so the world said you [00:09:25] Speaker J: in the face. In the face. [00:09:29] Speaker E: We barely get girl bands. I know. We had the Runaways before this album was on. Super team. The label, it's 2545. [00:09:40] Speaker B: Awesome. [00:09:41] Speaker E: The personnel are Donna A, lead vocalist. Donna R. Guitars, backing vocals. Donna F. Bass, backing vocals. Donna C. Drums, percussion. Like the Ramones, it's something. Ramones. This is Donna Something. [00:09:53] Speaker B: Well, it's Bert Anderson, Allison Robertson, Maya Ford, and Tori Castellano with the real names. [00:09:59] Speaker E: Yeah, I'm really curious. I don't really know anything about them. I've seen a couple things here and there. I don't know if this is their biggest record. I don't think so because it only sold 25.5000 copies as of 2005. They [00:10:11] Speaker B: drew inspiration from the Ramones, the Runaways, Girl School, AC dc, bto and Kiss. [00:10:16] Speaker E: Oh, okay. You [00:10:17] Speaker B: may get a little Southern bto, Frank. Never mind. They're Canadian bto. Jesus Christ. Maybe they're from South Canada. Ah, off they sounded southern. [00:10:28] Speaker G: Even South Canada still are north. So there's that? [00:10:32] Speaker B: I know. That's all right. That's right. Many people that listen to us are like, you idiot, I forgot they were Canadian. Sorry. [00:10:38] Speaker G: I always thought they were a punk band. [00:10:40] Speaker E: All right. Okay, let's do this. The first song is. Hey, I'm gonna be your girl. [00:10:59] Speaker K: Hey, pretty boy, what's your name? You're just hit Go insane as you sing with Arizona used to do. Cause I just wanna French kiss you. Hey, I'm a New York girl hey, I'm a new. Hey, I'm Lenny. [00:11:19] Speaker B: Does not sound 97. Very raw, definitely. I hear the Ramones, I hear some of the Runaways in there, but definitely some of that punky attitude. That's all right. [00:11:28] Speaker E: It's recorded like it's a demo. This is not a record. This is a demo, right? We had better recordings in early 91 than this. This is bad. As far as recording goes, it has that punk attitude. It does have the REM Bones, Runaways vibe to it. [00:11:47] Speaker G: I'm digging it. I like that raw sound. You can tell it's very punk. And for me, I'm digging it. [00:11:52] Speaker B: I'm hoping for a little bit more of the riot girl sound. I'm hoping it gets into some of that sound because I've recently discovered some of that stuff. It's pretty good. [00:12:00] Speaker E: I don't know if you're gonna get that here. We'll see. Intro hey, hey, hey, hey. A Bunch of haze Verse one. Hey, pretty boy, what's your name? You're just making me go insane. I see you sitting there I don't know what to do Because I just want to French kiss you. Hey, I'm gonna be your girl. Hey, I'm gonna be your girl. Hey, I'm gonna be. You're going to be my guy and now you're going to be my guy. I don't think we're going to have any superior lyrics in this. [00:12:22] Speaker B: It's [00:12:22] Speaker E: going to be very punk rock, to the point. All right, let's continue. Here we go. [00:12:43] Speaker K: And now you're going to be my guy. Come on, baby, Rabbit me. You're the best system, Pelly. You can make me go, go, go. Let's go see my room and. Whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Pretty boy, what's your name? You're just making me go insane. Ask you since there's. Hey, I'm gonna be your girl. Hey, I'm gonna be your girl. Hey, I'm gonna be your girl. [00:13:38] Speaker B: The more it went on, the more I liked it. I just definitely had that 70s punk vibe. It's fun. That's how I see it. It's a fun little intro. Simple. Can't really say much more than that. [00:13:49] Speaker E: I do think that they progressed past this. From the other stuff that I heard, this is very raw and very demo. But I think stuff that's later that I've heard has been a little bit better than this. It's okay. Is it done better than any other punk band doing stuff? Not really. It's not really my style of stuff. Verse 2 Wednesday night and we're at Pacos teaching all them to pogo. I see you sitting there. I don't know what to do because every time I see you I go cuckoo course is the same. Verse 3 Come on baby, ride with me you're the best dressed in Pali you can make me go, go, go let's go to my room and whoa. The bridge is just a whole bunch of haze. Verse 4 is just verse 1 again and chorus is the same. The one thing is, I probably won't read a lot of lyrics just because there's not a lot of lyrics to read. Generally in punk sav, you go first. [00:14:33] Speaker B: There's an aspect of this that brings me back to listening to bands that we knew, people we knew that were doing bands and hearing them jam in the garage. That gives me a cool vibe. Based on that vibe. The lyrics are fine. I' five on the lyrics. Just based on the fact that it's telling a story. Ish puts you to where she is and what she's doing. You know, I'll go fives across. I was going to go a little bit higher on the music because of that reminiscent aspect. It could change upon relisten. This could go to sixes somewhere. Frank. [00:15:05] Speaker G: I'm doing eights across. I like that raw sound. Like you said, it sounds like a demo tape or like the band is playing for the first time in the club. The lyrics match the style. Actually. It reminds me of the band that was in the classic 80 movie Bachelor Party. That was it. Angela in the reruns. [00:15:22] Speaker B: I don't remember. I've seen it once. [00:15:25] Speaker G: I think it was them or the Beehives or something like that. But it reminds me of that band was like, why do good girls like bad boys? Like, that's the song. Thanks for me. [00:15:37] Speaker B: Mark. [00:15:37] Speaker E: What are you smoking? Eights. Holy. Each [00:15:41] Speaker B: their own, man. [00:15:42] Speaker E: Holy crap. Lyrics for I'll give five on everything else. I don't know how I'm giving five to production. I understand what it is. Maybe I have to just take that into account. This is just generally not stuff that I would listen to. But it's okay, I guess. [00:15:56] Speaker B: This is actually their own label, one of the girls label. [00:15:58] Speaker E: Oh, so this is really an independent release thing. Okay, maybe that's why it sounds like that's possible. [00:16:04] Speaker G: Come on now. It's raw. That's how it's supposed to sound. [00:16:07] Speaker E: Listen, dude, I'm sorry to say we had stuff produced by ourselves in 91 that sounded like we were Bon Jovi compared to this. [00:16:15] Speaker G: Okay, but you weren't a punk band. You got some punk. It wasn't punk. This is. [00:16:19] Speaker E: No, I understand. I [00:16:20] Speaker B: wasn't punk. Yeah, no, [00:16:22] Speaker E: I understand. But you still can make it sound better than that. [00:16:24] Speaker G: No, punk is supposed to be what you get. It's a Wessie wig. A who? Oh, I see wig. But you see is what you get. Well, in this example, a high sea Hig. [00:16:36] Speaker B: Nice. [00:16:36] Speaker E: Yeah, but the Ramones had stuff that was better produced than this. [00:16:40] Speaker B: Maybe they had more money. [00:16:41] Speaker E: Well, I don't know at the beginning, but they probably did later on. Sure. Okay. Okay, let's see what's happening next. This is a minute and 19 seconds. This is. Let's go mono. [00:17:04] Speaker K: Here we go. All the kids are out tonight Mommy, daddy say bye bye Give me candy gimme doo doo kitty I want to do we will wait for you let's go. Here we go. There is nothing else to do. Everybody got a. [00:17:38] Speaker E: That's cool. I'm [00:17:40] Speaker B: shaking my head side to side. It's fun. I think it's like the Ramones. I know that we did the Ramones. A lot of it was good. I guess ultimately what happens is if you just hear too much of it at once, then it can be repetitive. For now, I'm just having fun with it and I'm really back in some city bar, some smelly, shitty city bar, just watching the band live. Going there, going. Yeah, that's what I'm picturing. [00:18:09] Speaker G: Boy, that smells like two week old piss. That's right. At best. [00:18:15] Speaker E: Two week. That's giving a lot of credit. Two weeks. [00:18:18] Speaker B: Yeah. With the men's room door always open. [00:18:21] Speaker G: Always open. And the only way they clean the urinals, they just throw bar ice on there. [00:18:26] Speaker B: Yeah. And you get those big silk, those round things. The moth things smell like mothballs when you pee on them. [00:18:32] Speaker E: The urinal cakes. [00:18:33] Speaker B: Yeah, urinal cakes. God. That's it. I couldn't think of it. [00:18:37] Speaker E: I don't hate it. It's just so shitt recorded. We did better recordings on a boombox for band rehearsal than this. Is this actually even recorded multi track. I don't even know if it is. [00:18:47] Speaker B: I don't know. I was trying to see. All they know is one of the girls labels, I believe it said, I [00:18:52] Speaker E: mean, realistically, it was harder to do this stuff then. So I gave them a little bit of slack. You couldn't really record your own stuff. But going to a studio probably wasn't an option for them. And they're doing 14 songs or whatever they're doing. We only did four songs and I think that cost us like a thousand bucks back then. [00:19:07] Speaker B: Oh, my Lord. Yeah, it's expensive. It [00:19:10] Speaker E: was really expensive. I'm gonna read all the words because I have 30 seconds to go. So I'm just gonna read the words. See those kids walking down the street they're so rab. Kick them with your feet Hit them down low Hit them up high make sure they're dead goodbye It's a craze from coast to coast let's go mano Here we go M A N O let's go mano all the kids are out tonight Mommy, daddy, say bye bye Give me candy, give me four food it's all I want to do we won't wait for UFOs chorus again there's no time to sit around While we're in south city town there's nothing else to do Everybody go mano See those kids walking down the street they're so rabbed Kick them with your feet Hit them low Hit them up high make sure they're dead goodbye It's a craze from coast to coast which is verse one. And then let's go mano M A N O let's go mano and just repeats that over and over. It is a little more catchy than the first one, I think. All right, let's continue. Here we go. [00:20:27] Speaker B: Let's go mano. Or mayno. That's what it sounds like they're saying. [00:20:30] Speaker E: Mayno. Matt. Potato, potato. [00:20:32] Speaker B: Manos the hands of faint. Manos the hands of faint. [00:20:37] Speaker E: Frank, why don't you go first? Tens, Frank, tens. [00:20:42] Speaker G: I'm digging it so far. I really do like that rawness that the lyrics say. It has to match the style of music. So for me, I'm gonna do sevens across on this one. [00:20:51] Speaker I: Oh, yeah. Nikki titty, baby. It's quintuple. Seven. [00:20:54] Speaker G: Seth. [00:20:55] Speaker B: I will say five on the lyrics because they say UFOs and six on everything else. I like this one better than the first one. First one, it's pretty cool. Pretty catchy, Mark. I [00:21:04] Speaker E: like this better than the first one. I'm gonna give it six across. Even though the production is still. I think it's not bad. I just think it needs to sound a little bit better, that's all. But again, this is probably a demo they put out themselves. Even though it has a million tracks on it. They were just trying to get product out there for people to listen to. There was no Spotify, there was no putting it online. You had to record this and then make tapes for people because no one was making CDs back then. So you were doing tapes. Well, now you might have been doing CDs. It's possible. There was CDRs back then, so it could be CDs. [00:21:34] Speaker G: Yeah, they were. [00:21:35] Speaker E: Yeah. All right, here we go. Teenage runaway. [00:21:46] Speaker K: Teenage run away Teenage run away Teenage run away. Left his friends behind Drop coke for lemon lime now what's he going to do? Going to get some Mexican food. Teenage run away Teenage run away Teenage run away Teenage run away Teenage run away Teenage run away Teenage run away. [00:22:40] Speaker B: This would fit into a 90s skate movie perfectly. And there was one which I can't think of name. I think what's his name directed it. Jonah Hill. It's called the 90s. I gotta look it up. I guess it just has that attitude and it's catchy. Like I said, it's me. Individually, these songs are good. Will it get maybe a little bit tiresome after a while if there isn't any variation? It's possible. But so far, I'm just sitting here bopping my head. [00:23:03] Speaker E: I can see what they're trying to do do. This is going to be the female version of the Ramones. Very similar in the way they play and the chords they use. I'm not going to get any kind of guitar playing out of this. It is what it is. I'm not a huge fan of this style of music. For me, it's a little tough with the production being a little crappy. I like the Ramon stuff a little better because the production is a little bit better, but I understand what they're trying to do. And again, I'm going to read through all the lyrics once Frank says what he thinks about this, because there's not much to do. This is a minute and 56 or 55. [00:23:34] Speaker B: Oh, it's a long one. [00:23:35] Speaker E: Oh, yeah, yeah. Super long [00:23:37] Speaker G: again. I just love the style. Very amateur, very. We're playing in the living room and just recording this on the ghetto blaster sound. I just like it [00:23:47] Speaker B: mid-90s by the way is the name of the movie. If you guys have never seen it's pretty good movie. [00:23:50] Speaker G: Okay. Thanks. I didn't know that. [00:23:52] Speaker E: Okay. Chorus. Teenage runaway Teenage runaway Teenage runaway Teenage runaway Teenage runaway Teenage runaway Teenage runaway Verse he left his chance behind Dropped coke for lemon lime now what's he going to do? Gonna get some Mexican food Chorus Verse two Won't have to go to school Just hang out playing pool Stay out late every night he's gonna be all right Chorus that's it. Let's finish it. Here we go. [00:25:11] Speaker B: I like the Ooh. They're actually the cleanest part of the song. When you think about it. [00:25:17] Speaker E: It's a little bit better than the other two. I think. Either I'm just getting used to it, one or the other [00:25:21] Speaker B: you're getting used to it. [00:25:23] Speaker E: Don't make it like I'm gonna go out and listen to this because that's not gonna ever happen. [00:25:27] Speaker B: Yep. Next time we see Mark has got Adonis T shirt on. [00:25:31] Speaker E: I was doing a little research while the 1 minute and 55 second song was going on. And supposedly 2002 is where they had their major label debut. You and I think that's the stuff that I've heard stuff from that point on. I've never heard the early stuff. I like that stuff. Actually. When I heard that, it didn't sound like this from what I remember. I'll go first. I guess I'll give it sixes across. I don't know what to do. I feel bad because I'm just gonna bash how shitty it sounds recorded wise. But I understand what's happening. This is low tech. This is DIY for the 90s. I get what's going on and they're trying to find a specific sound. They want to sound like this. Maybe not as shitty as this. This is the kind of sound they're going for. In that case, I have to give it six because I'd like this one so fast. Frank, [00:26:12] Speaker G: I'm going sevens across again. It just continues with that great theme, that great sound. The lyrics just match the style. They haven't done any variations. I like the consistency. [00:26:21] Speaker L: It's great to be here. Thank you. It's quintuple. Seven just for Nicolo. Nikki, Titty, Baby [00:26:26] Speaker G: Joe. Punch you one of these days. [00:26:29] Speaker B: Anytime I Frank giving himself sevens. It always makes me laugh. [00:26:33] Speaker E: I'm just going to give Frank his sevens thing. If he keeps doing sevens, just going to keep giving him every time he does it. [00:26:38] Speaker B: Oh, Frank. [00:26:39] Speaker G: He's with you, man. [00:26:41] Speaker E: Yeah. See? [00:26:42] Speaker G: Double Punch him. I swear to God. [00:26:43] Speaker B: That means you have to steal his line at the end of the podcast. I'm going sixes across. It was fun. It's just fun. Just bop in my head. Sixes across. [00:26:52] Speaker E: Okay, let's continue. The next one is Lana and Steve. [00:27:09] Speaker K: Have to see her. Nobody says to see her She's a teenage run away he works at the record place now she's got his asset Baby tonight, tonight hey, hey, hey. She don't know what to do now the baby always has to do now no more looking like a queen those are just an oper She's a teenage run away Vegas in the place to stay she just had to get away tonight tonight. [00:27:57] Speaker B: This one isn't as catchy, but it tells more of a story, I think. So in that sense it's pretty cool. I wish it's a little bit more catchy. [00:28:04] Speaker E: I think this is my favorite cuz it has a story of some sort. It has some production at the beginning. The car crash. [00:28:10] Speaker B: You thought you were getting Detroit Rex today. [00:28:28] Speaker E: I just am happy that they have some kind of production in here. Someone's like, hey, maybe we could put a sound effect. I don't know where they got the sound effect from. Cheesy sound effect. But at least it was a try anyway. [00:28:37] Speaker B: I had a bunch of sound effect CDs back in the day. [00:28:39] Speaker E: It's probably for one of those. [00:28:40] Speaker B: Yeah, that was very clear. The car crashed. [00:28:43] Speaker G: This one I wasn't that crazy about. I'm not quite sure if it was the car crash in the beginning or if it just went flat for me at some point. I'm giving six things across. Yeah, not my favorite. [00:28:53] Speaker B: You're rating it already? What if. What if it goes deeper? All of a sudden you're like, yeah, I kind of take it more. [00:28:57] Speaker G: Okay. I don't think it's going to change in another 25 seconds. [00:29:01] Speaker E: Verse 1. She was from San Mateo her dad was the ciao she was on her way to Pasadena but no one says they've seen her Korra, she's a teenage runaway he works at the record place now she's got his acid baby tonight, tonight hey hey, hey Ver too She don't know what to do now the baby always has the flu now no one looking like a queen Overdosed on Afro Sheen Chorus. The next verse is the first verse, then the chorus and then it. Hey, hey, hey all the way out, let's run it. [00:29:39] Speaker K: Place now she's got his ass in, babe Tonight, tonight Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, hey, hey. [00:29:54] Speaker B: Hey. Hey. Hey. [00:29:55] Speaker E: Hey, hey. Hey. [00:29:56] Speaker B: Hi. Hi. Hi. [00:29:59] Speaker E: Frank, give us your unbiased opinion. Is it tens this time or nines or. [00:30:04] Speaker G: No, it didn't change from 30 seconds ago. [00:30:06] Speaker B: I don't think it was 30 seconds ago, Frank. I think it was 15 seconds ago. It's pretty quick. [00:30:11] Speaker G: That's what I said. I'm just gonna get my scores now and get it out of the way. Six across. I didn't like it that much as the other one. Still entertaining? Still okay. But the lyrics, I would go down a five, but I've been so consistent, I was just gonna give it six. Mark. [00:30:25] Speaker E: I think the lyrics are the best part of the song that in the production, [00:30:28] Speaker G: the cao [00:30:31] Speaker E: it has a story, at least compared to the other ones, I thought it was better. Seven on lyrics, six on everything else. Production's still shitty, but at least they tried to give it some kind of production. With the car crash. I wasn't too bad. Sav [00:30:43] Speaker B: I say some on the lyrics as well. Like. Like the story. The fact that there is a story. I'll say six on production and five on everything else. [00:30:49] Speaker E: Oo even worse than me. How's that possible? [00:30:51] Speaker B: It wasn't as catchy as the other ones. I guess that's what I was expecting. Want a little bit more of that? The lyrics are cool. [00:30:57] Speaker E: Well, the next one is an epic song. It's 239. I'm going to make him mine tonight. [00:31:17] Speaker K: He's so glitchy he's so cool he's the rabbit in the school When I see him walk our way My hands all tight But I don't know what to say he will never look at me how am I gonna make him sleep? Cause all the kids are going out all right and I gotta look around Tonight, tonight I'm gonna make him mine Tonight I'm gonna make him night I'm going to make him mine I'm going to get his cancer tonight and I'm going to make it right I'm going to make it mine. [00:32:10] Speaker B: I'm pulling for this girl. I mean, this guy's the rabbist in school. How could you not to want to be with him? What is rabbis? I tried looking it up and they said you may have misspelled the word. They've used it before. [00:32:20] Speaker E: I know. [00:32:21] Speaker B: So it's got to be some NWCA slang. Rapis usually refers to one of the three things, woodworking and framing, which I don't believe that's it. Real estate, software slang or Internet content. Rabbit, Google is Failing miserably on what this word means. [00:32:38] Speaker E: I think I found it Rab in the urban dictionary is someone who's a. Did you see those rabs at the party? Who the hell were they? Random ass Rab. [00:32:50] Speaker B: I don't think that's what this is though. [00:32:52] Speaker E: I don't know. That's all I can find. [00:32:54] Speaker G: I love it. What a rab. [00:32:55] Speaker B: I'm going to use that from now on. [00:32:57] Speaker G: I'm going to make it part of my world. I'm going to bring it back 30 years later. [00:33:00] Speaker B: It has to be in a good way, though. [00:33:01] Speaker E: There's a whole bunch of them. This random ass boner. When multiple places were robbed at once. Casinos were robbed in Ocean City. 11 Acting in a regretful manner to be the full of regret following an action. [00:33:16] Speaker B: It's funny being Californian. If you weren't reading the lyrics, would you just assume that they said radest? [00:33:21] Speaker E: Maybe. Oh, there's a whole bunch of these. I can't really read here. [00:33:25] Speaker B: Clearly. This guy's cool. [00:33:26] Speaker E: Oh, here it is. Were used by the Don is in most of their songs. I don't actually know what it means. I was hoping someone that could help me. No one knows. That's the greatest. The greatest part of this is no one knows what the that means. Now I'm gonna have to give the lyrics more because of that. [00:33:40] Speaker B: We have to post this to the Donna's. [00:33:43] Speaker E: What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Somebody knows. [00:33:45] Speaker B: I'm going to say that our podcast is the Rabbis. [00:33:48] Speaker E: Me too. That's going to be our new tagline. The Rabbis Podcast in the universe. [00:33:52] Speaker B: Nice. [00:33:53] Speaker E: Verse 1 He's so glitchy he's so cool he's the rabbit in the school When I see him walk our way My friends all talk and I don't know what to say Verse two He will never look at me now I'm going to make him see because all the kids are being out. All right. And I got to go look around tonight. Chorus Tonight I'm going to make him mine Tonight I'm going to make him mine Tonight I'm going to make him mine I'm going to get in his pants tonight I'm going to. I'm gonna make him mine. She has an end goal in mind. [00:34:17] Speaker B: This is not a platonic make him mine. [00:34:20] Speaker E: No, this is not. [00:34:21] Speaker B: Not unless he's wearing really big pants and it's a thing. [00:34:24] Speaker E: It's possible he's very rabbist. All right, here we go. [00:34:29] Speaker K: After school we go downtown where we chow burritos down Here he comes he's hitting all alone But I don't know what to do But I'm gonna wait till he goes around Then I'm gon and I think it's all right and I'm gonna take my chance tonight Tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine I'm gonna get his chance tonight and I'm gonna make it right I'm gon. Tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gonna make him mine tonight I'm gon. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Picture being at that pissy smelling place and just singing along. This is one of those songs that you didn't know before you went to go see them. And then by the end of it, you're singing along with them. That's how I feel. [00:36:09] Speaker E: I'm gonna go first. This is probably the most well put together song they had. It does lots of things right. I think the production is even a little bit better. I'm gonna give it a seven. [00:36:18] Speaker L: It's great to be here. Thank you. It's quintuple seven just [00:36:20] Speaker K: for Nicolo Nikki Titty baby [00:36:23] Speaker E: oh, play it again [00:36:25] Speaker M: I'm gonna go seven. [00:36:27] Speaker K: It's great to be here. [00:36:28] Speaker L: Thank you. It's [00:36:28] Speaker K: quintuple seven just for Nicolo Nikki Titty baby [00:36:31] Speaker L: Frank [00:36:32] Speaker G: Hashtag Colo. I like the story. There's nothing more exciting to me than someone who's so motivated to make somebody there. I'm gonna give it eights. [00:36:42] Speaker H: Quinto ple ocho vebe taniki [00:36:44] Speaker E: I need to finish the works before I forget after school we go downtown where we chow burritos down Here he comes he's sitting alone but I don't know what to do I'm gonna wait till no one's around and I'm gonna take him down Because I'm gonna tell the kids all right I'm gonna take a chance tonight Chorus out. I thought it was the best one. [00:37:00] Speaker B: Very fun, [00:37:01] Speaker E: but it's more put together. Even though it's the same style, it feels like there was a little more thought put into this. That's why I liked it. I could see if they started to take this and put a little bit better production on it that you could have something going on. [00:37:13] Speaker B: And it was the longest. [00:37:14] Speaker E: And it was the longest. Well, now we're back to 1 minute and 45 seconds. This is hu. [00:37:28] Speaker K: Gotta lock my door tonight Gonna have a party all night all my friends coming over tonight Gonna have a home party night Gotta lock my door tonight Gonna have a party all right all my friends are coming over tonight Gonna have a home party tonight yeah, yeah Gonna have a fun night yeah, yeah Gonna have a fun night yeah, yeah Gonna have a night, yeah, yeah Go. [00:37:56] Speaker B: I looked up, I said, it's heffen what I think it is. And gemini says, are you rocking out to the donnas or are you looking for local events and gatherings? That is funny. This one isn't as catchy, But I like the music to it. And if it is what I think what it is about, I know we all know somebody who used to have a lot of these huffing parties every day. [00:38:18] Speaker E: Yeah. It's back to where it was. I do like I'm gonna make him mine tonight. I think that's the best song. This is folding back into earlier four or five songs, which I don't like as much. [00:38:28] Speaker G: I'm digging it. It's following the theme from earlier. They're [00:38:31] Speaker E: making a whole song about inhaling glue or other household products. [00:38:35] Speaker B: Yes. Huffing specifically refers to inhaling alcohol nitrites. [00:38:39] Speaker E: Interesting that you can make a whole song about it. Verse one. Gotta lock my door tonight Gonna have a party all right all my friends are coming over tonight Gonna have a huffing party tonight Gotta lock my door tonight Gonna have a party, all right all my friends are coming over tonight Gonna have a huffing party tonight Chorus yeah, yeah Gonna huff all night times and then we're gonna continue here. We. [00:39:10] Speaker K: Gotta lock my door tonight Gonna have a happy party all right all my friends are coming over tonight Gonna have a happy party tonight yeah, yeah Gonna have all night yeah, yeah Gonna have all night yeah, yeah gonna. I want to have all night Hey, [00:40:07] Speaker B: I like that little change at the end that I'm telling you. At least one of us tomorrow will be singing I want to huff all night. It's going to happen. I just hope I don't do it in church tomorrow. My lyrics are all the same, Right. I don't think they change anything. [00:40:21] Speaker E: Yeah. I was going to say they don't really change the lyrics at all. I didn't realize that. And that's going to influence my score a little bit. [00:40:27] Speaker B: I'll go first. I Would say six on arrangement. I like that little thing at the end. Six on production, five on melody, three on lyrics, five on music. [00:40:38] Speaker E: I'm going to do the same. Three on lyrics, five on melody, five on music, six on arrangement and six on production. I like that change at the end. I thought that actually took the song a little bit higher. Cuz if they would have just done the same thing over and over and over it wouldn't be as good. I liked it, Frank. [00:40:52] Speaker G: I have on lyric 6 across for everything else this one. The lyrics did disappoint me a little bit, but overall I'm actually digging this album. It's exactly what I thought it was going to be. I wasn't expecting this type of production. I was expecting something a little more polished. But that whole amateur sound gives it what makes it sound so great and raw. I [00:41:10] Speaker E: thought Frank was going to do sevens all the time. I guess not anymore because he doesn't want to hear himself every time seven happens. [00:41:14] Speaker B: No coins. He's going to do six eights, nines or tens. [00:41:18] Speaker E: Yeah, he's going to ignore it. I have to make all those things with his name on it so then I just can play them all anytime now. You can't get around it, Frank. You think that's going to work? No, I'll just clone you and make you say all the other stuff. [00:41:28] Speaker G: I'll just use letter grades. [00:41:30] Speaker E: A, B, C, D. All right, this is the end of side one. Here we go. This is I don't want to go. [00:41:50] Speaker K: I don't want to go. I don't want to go I don't want to go Because I don't want to go over there with you. I don't want to go. Hey, hey. Simple, simple, simple, simple says give me, give me triple grand, triple grand toes wanna, wanna go. I don't want to go no I don't want to go no, I don't want. [00:42:27] Speaker B: Not bad in between. I think it's better than the one before, but not as good as the one before that. It's not too bad. I [00:42:35] Speaker E: think the chorus is better in this. I like that. So far I'll have to wait to pass judgment. I think so far I think it's better than Huff All Night. [00:42:41] Speaker G: Definitely better than the previous song. [00:42:43] Speaker E: Okay, lyrics. Here we go. Baby, baby run around, run around town Tell what's going on down what you, what you, what you're gonna do about it. Baby, baby running around. You can eat Chorus. I don't want to go oh no I don't want to Go I don't want to go oh, no I don't want to go I don't want to go oh, man, what you gonna do? Because I don't want to go over there with you I don't want to go hey, hey, Simple Simon Simple Simon says gimme, gimme purple green, purple green Pez want to, want to go around here Stick, stick, baby, stick this in your ear. Back to the chorus. All right, let's continue it. I think there's gonna be a change. [00:43:22] Speaker K: Go, go, go I don't want to go. No, I don't want to go I don't want to go no, I don't want to go, man. What? You want to go over there with you? I don't want to go, [00:43:54] Speaker B: man. The more I want along, the more I liked it. I like that little breakdown. We always talk about things that probably went over well live. I think that probably went over well. They probably could have extended that. Lyrically, it is what it is, but it's not bad. [00:44:05] Speaker E: I'll go first. Five on lyrics, six on everything else. I like to change up. I think they are getting a little bit better at doing that stuff. I don't know what order these songs are written in. I feel like the better songs might have been written later on just because they're getting better at doing it. I would love to hear the major label debut to see how much that changes. Frank, [00:44:22] Speaker G: this is the inside one. [00:44:24] Speaker E: Technically, yeah. I don't know if there's side one here, because this was all cd. We'll say side one. Yeah. [00:44:28] Speaker G: All right. Well, I think it's ending side one pretty strong. Not as great as the first couple of songs we heard, but still a good way to end it. I'm gonna go ahead and give this seven across. [00:44:37] Speaker E: Are you sure you want to do that? [00:44:38] Speaker G: Yes, I do. I want to give seven across. [00:44:41] Speaker E: Okay. [00:44:41] Speaker K: It's great to be here. Thank you. It's [00:44:43] Speaker L: quintuple. Seven just for Nicolo. Nikki [00:44:45] Speaker K: Titty, [00:44:45] Speaker L: baby. [00:44:49] Speaker B: Now he's laughing about it. That's good. I will say six on everything but the lyrics. The lyrics are a little. Say four on the lyrics, but six on everything else. The more I went on, the more I liked it. [00:45:00] Speaker E: I do think that with decent production, this could be a lot better. I just think that's really what hurts this so much, is that it's so badly recorded. Except for that one song, which was a little bit better. Where they must have put the. A little bit of money in when they did it. There's definitely Something here. Obviously they got signed for a reason. Probably because someone said, hey, that's the female Ramones. Sounds very similar. Maybe we can push this. [00:45:23] Speaker B: Yep, definitely very similar to the Ramones. [00:45:25] Speaker E: Yeah. I didn't expect to be as punky as it is because I think the stuff that I heard later wasn't as punky. Even though it had some punk stuff in it. This is really old school punk to me. Very cheaply recorded and just on the fly. [00:45:38] Speaker B: They're babies here too. [00:45:39] Speaker E: Yeah. I don't know how old they are. They sound really young. [00:45:42] Speaker B: They formed in 90. Well, I had clicked on just the singer and I think she was 18 in 97. Not even have been 18 when this was released. I didn't click on all of them, but then I SAW formed in 93, four years before they were like us, basically. [00:45:55] Speaker E: Pretty much. Yeah. [00:45:56] Speaker B: They were in their mid teens when they started. [00:45:59] Speaker E: I give them credit. [00:46:00] Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely. It [00:46:01] Speaker E: may not be my style of music, but I understand what they're trying to do. [00:46:04] Speaker B: Yeah. And they do it well. [00:46:05] Speaker E: I just wish for their own sake that it was recorded better, that's all. It would probably make a little more. More impact. Well, that's the end of side one. Interesting. I didn't know what I was going to expect from this. I'm glad we got the Diamonds because I've heard about them forever. I've seen a couple of things of the later stuff. I like that. I felt there was always a little bit of runaways going on. But maybe that has more to do with their female as opposed to male. We don't have a lot of females on this, really. Every time we get female, I'm always interested just because I think there's just not enough of it out there. And I'd like to get something. [00:46:31] Speaker B: Yep, I'm happy too. I asked for discovery. This is a band I've always heard of. Heard a song song here and there, but never a full album. I'm glad that we got this. And Frank, you're definitely giving some good scores. So you're digging it [00:46:41] Speaker E: tens, tens, tens, tens, tens. [00:46:45] Speaker G: No, I just like the raw sound of it all. The very in your face punk rock. The lyric that's supposed to make a whole lot of sense and not debating. It's just a random topic they write music about. And that's what made punk so fun to listen to. Yeah, I'm digging it. [00:46:58] Speaker B: Songs are personal to them. You can tell these lyrics are personal. Personal. [00:47:01] Speaker E: They're the rabbis. [00:47:03] Speaker G: Yes. [00:47:03] Speaker E: Whatever the that means. [00:47:05] Speaker B: Well, we found out now [00:47:06] Speaker E: Wow. I don't know. There was a ton of things in the urban dictionary. I don't know if it means any of those things, really. Someone wrote in there. Well, what does this mean? Okay, well, nobody knows, which is great. I'm sure all the Donna's fans know. Please let us know. We want to know. [00:47:20] Speaker B: Yes. All [00:47:21] Speaker E: right, so I want you to do your thing. [00:47:22] Speaker B: We are part of the Deep Dive Podcast Network and the Boneless Podcast Network. [00:47:27] Speaker K: Boneless, you know, like those chicken wings without the bone. [00:47:29] Speaker B: Okay. We say great bunch of guys took us in right away. If you want individual podcasts about bands, Metallica, Uriah, Heap Rush, Judas Priest, you name it, it's probably on there. So check them out. And mark, where can they find us on the interwebs [00:47:41] Speaker E: Rocker lit pod on all of the social media rock podcast dot com. Do the polls or the merch. You know what to do. Put us on your auto Downloads. Rate us 5 stars. Wherever you rate your podcasts. Next week we'll get to finish this up with another seven songs of one one minute, two minute quickies. Let's see if it changes up a little bit. I'm curious to see if they get a couple of more songs like the one I liked. [00:48:03] Speaker B: Looking forward to it. [00:48:04] Speaker E: Yeah, me too. All right, see you guys next week. [00:48:06] Speaker B: Cho Cho [00:48:07] Speaker G: Sevens [00:48:09] Speaker E: later.
