Thanks for checking mine at 1h29m 🎉😂

La La Land is one of my favorite songs ever, but I kind of feel like it satirizes a subculture that you have to have lived with to fully get the joke. Maybe that sort of thing’s more ubiquitous in the Bible Belt, though. This is gonna sound like sacrilege since Jars of Clay is my favorite band and Much Afraid is my favorite album of theirs, but I’m actually not that big on Crazy Times. To me it just came across like “OK, here’s an actual rock song rather than an acoustic one we had to overdub with electric guitars for rock radio” and it sounds nothing like the rest of the album, and it was WAY overexposed in CCM compared to the rest of the album, but too sluggish to really gain a foothold in mainstream rock. “Fade to Grey” should’ve been the big single here, though I can understand the band actually wanting to promote something new rather than a remake of their oldest song. I’d have gone with “Butterfly” for Seven Day Jesus - yeah, it’s cheesy, but it had just the right mix of grittiness and quirkiness for 90s rock radio. That incessantly bouncy hook would’ve drawn in a lot of the same people who got hooked on stuff like “Flagpole Sitta”.

I agree on 4 of the 5, and I just don't remember the All Star United song. I will have to check it out.

Seven Day Jesus definitely. How about Poor Old Lu, Adam Again, 77's, The Choir...

I suspect the reason Crazy Times didn't have the kind of success Flood had is people (secular rock stations) realized they also made Love Song for a Savior.

Some Kind of Zombie is better than Jesus Freak? 🤨 Those are fighting words, sir! 🤣 But I 100% agree with Crazy Times!

You can't do this and not play them in the background while you talk. 😂

Every New Day by Five Iron Frenzy Supertones Strike Back by Supertones Building a Better Me by Dogwood Punk Rawk Show by MxPx Angel by Slick Shoes

Haha, agreed again re: Some Kind of Zombie. I play it quite a bit for the kids. 😅

Yeah, Monkey's Paw is fantastic. Still one of my favorite songs.

Yes! March 1 2025! 🥰🙌🙏

Great interview! I’m in the Christmas mood 🎅

이 노래는 노래 자체로 듣던가 그냥 오리지널 뮤직비디오하고 감상해야지 퍼포먼스 영상하고 감상하기에는 최악이지... 노래가 아무리 좋아도 노래에 집중하기보다는 그냥 귀여운 동양인 여자아이들이 깜찍한척하는 그런 노래라고 착각하게 만들수있음 뭐 하긴 오리지널 뮤직비디오도 백인 입장에서보면 감성적으로 와닿는 부분이 없겠네 미국은 특히 비싼 사립 고등학교나 뭐 그런데 아닌이상 공립은 전부 복장 자율화니까...

Tyler the creator ❤

I recently preordered the vinyl for chromakopia! Very excited 😊

Also Cochise and Freddie Gibbs as well as Westside Gunn🫶🥰

John Van Deusen is the release of the weekend for me!

I love skillets new album

I got this album off of your top albums list. Absolutely love the opener. I need to give the rest of the album some more listens. btw, another spider long… I Miss You by Blink-182. And as I stare, I counted The webs from all the spiders Catching things and eating their insides Like indecision to call you And hear your voice of treason Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?

Zombie by Family Force 5 should be on the list

The scariest part is the Christian

It was probably you who recommended this album to me back when it was brand new... I think I listened to it a couple times in late 2009, thought it was decent but didn't really spend a lot of time with it, then I came back to it a year later and I was like "Wow, I really missed out on some good stuff when I wasn't giving this one my full attention." "Autumn" was an early favorite that attached itself to memories of neighborhood walks I took in late 2010 documenting fall colors in my neighborhood (which happens REALLY late in Southern California, like around Thanksgiving), then "Real Time" caught my attention in early 2011, and I tend to flip-flop on which one is my favorite. The two runners-up are "Flowers and Fireworks" and "Greener", both of which were very comforting to me during one of the most difficult years of my adult life. I remember being struck by how the term "Greener" never actually occurs in the lyrics, but it kind of has a double meaning - the grass being greener on the other side of the fence, or being green with envy. I ended up writing my own song called "Greener" at around that time (well, song lyric at least - I don't remember if I ever bothered coming up with chords or a melody for it) that kind of springboarded off of that idea, as a way to deal with conflicted feelings about someone I was a bit jealous of and also kind of wanted to impress. I never really did a deep dive on this album, but every time I listen to it I discover something new that I didn't fully appreciate on earlier listens. It's aged amazingly well, for a one-off record by an obscure band that never did anything else afterward.

Bruno is a dope artist

Yes! Cake!

are we there yet - john reuben was a big one for me as a kid

New Hammock album From the Void. Tigerwine was good.

Another big one that was missed: Green Day’s 20th anniversary edition of American idiot

Keep doing these!

It was fun to be a fly on the wall during this conversation. Like you, I have a strong nostalgic attachment to this album. Your co-hosts picked out a lot of influences that I genuinely wasn't aware of, so who knows, maybe more bands for me to dig into the past on whenever I come up for air from my current project. Here are some random notes that I took so that I wouldn't forget to chime in on various topics you guys brought up: - Monroe Jones. He was actually quite the "it" producer in CCM-land for a while there in the late 90s and early 2000s, working more with pop and adult contemporary acts who wanted to present themselves with a bit of a quirky edge. I remember first seeing his name on a few Chris Rice records, and I think he produced some other stuff for the Rocketown label (including an Out of the Grey album that flew under pretty much everyone's radars). Luna Halo was definitely one of the edgier bands he worked with. He also co-produced the Chasing Furies record. - Which reminds me, Chasing Furies. Luna Halo guitarist Johnny Macintosh married Chasing Furies vocalist Sarah Meeker at some point in 1999 or 2000, because she was known as Sarah Macintosh after that point. I remember talking to one of the Luna Halo guys after a concert in late 2000s (it wasn't Nathan or Johnny, and who knows if they even had the same drummer/bassist that they had on the record at that point), and as I asked if they'd heard any news about Chasing Furies via Johnny, and they confirmed that Chasing Furies had already broken up by that point. For me, nothing will beat that first Chasing Furies record - it's my #2 record of the 1990s. But Sarah went on to make some artsy worship-oriented records - I particularly enjoyed her 2012 record "Current". - Japanese. I was practically yelling at my screen that the poem at the end of the album is in Japanese, not Chinese! You guys were almost there, you knew it was recited by a lady working in a sushi restaurant... OK, to be fair, where I live, there are tons of Chinese people who run sushi restaurants, but still. I guess I just always assumed that the whole Japanese aesthetic was a shorthand for "futuristic and otherworldly-looking", because if there's a country that is living in the future, it's definitely Japan. - Radiohead. Like you, I wasn't into Radiohead before this album - I think I'd heard creep, but I didn't even know it was them. Within the next few years I got SUPER into OK Computer (it's also in my top 10 90s albums), and now I can totally hear the influence. The sound effects on "Aliens" remind me an awful lot of "Planet Telex" (which is on The Bends, but I digress). "The Way to Your Heart" collapsing into the final poem has GOT to be a homage to how "Karma Police" similarly collapses into "Fitter Happier". - Scrubs. Doesn't the actual Scrubs theme song mention Superman? Using Luna Halo's "Superman" in that show might have been a bit redundant. Then again, the music cues in that show didn't always make much sense - they had a straight-up worship song from Kutless in an episode, for crying out loud. - Reality Check. I was quite amused at the notion that some people were upset that Luna Halo existed because it meant the end of Reality Check. That would be like being upset that the demise of Earthsuit (another of my personal heavy-hitters from the year 2000) gave us MuteMath. - And finally, the whole notion of responding to songs in a completely different way years down the road from when you first got into the album. I have always loved "Shimmer", but I have had that experience PROFOUNDLY with a few of its tracks, most notably "Forgiveness". I thought for the longest time that "Forgiveness" was just OK, and then when I was listening to the album in early 2020 as I started my year-long process of revisiting the 2000s, I was utterly caught off guard by how beautiful that song is. Just driving to a coffee shop one morning, that song and I had a moment, and it's one of my favorite memories of still feeling rather happy and carefree at the beginning of that year before... well, you know...

We have all been waiting to hear the political opinion’s of ICP! 😂😂😂

Very helpful!! Do more of these!!

This was great!

Your reactions are getting interesting, guys. You know, I started listening to K-pop thanks to LOONA and I almost left Western rock and pop. Why? Just because of their originality, huge repertoire, synchronicity, and most importantly because their versatility as any of them can shine at singing, rapping, harmonizing, playing some instruments, dancing with insane synch, but also choreographing, modeling, and even at composing, acting, and hosting TV shows. So, a deep journey through LOONA's MVs would give you a better idea of what I am talking about. BTW, they are the most awarded and most influential GG of the 4th Gen of K-pop so far. Thanks

solid list

@49:28 That is an exact description of Rich Mullins. 😊

My boy Kylan holdin it down

Can I just say? Girls' Gen is the absolute best. They're mind-blowingly versatile and are considered K-pop legends. Rolling Stone has named Gee the best Kpop song of all time. Objectively, it's not the very very best song ever made by a Korean artist, but it changed the face of the industry when it released, and the rise of the hashtag #Kpop can actually be mapped to the release of Gee in 2009. GG just celebrated their 17th debut anniversary this year, making them one of the longest-lasting and most influential Kpop groups of all time. There are alot of Kpop soloists, btw, but there are 2 BIG female solo artists in South Korea, loved by all - IU and Taeyeon, and the girl who sings the high note at 7:48 is Taeyeon. She's in her mid-30s now. She's still a part of Girls' Gen, but went on to become one of the most successful soloists of Kpop when she had her solo debut in 2015. She's a vocal powerhouse and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the Celine Dion of K-pop. You don't hear it in Gee, but, a critic once described her as having the voice of a woman who has been divorced 7 times. Funnily, when Taeyeon heard Gee for the first time, she hated it so much that she cried, and then it went on to become the Industry behemoth that it is 😂

Wow, this was such an interesting first choice 😂 You really went with the 'let's shock them into it' strategy. Kpop can be experimental music, bubblegum pop, a ballad, hiphop, dream pop, acid rock, metal, jazz, RnB, electrofunk, edm, anything!- and that's pretty much because the term 'Kpop' is a misnomer. Kpop has just evolved into the umbrella term for the Korean music industry.

This group is too good 🙏

Oh my! You're going all out with Max & Match! 👍 Based on Kylan's and AJ's feedbacks so far, I think they'll find some gems in ARTMS'/LOONA's b sides. You can try something unconventional, such as ARTMS' Birth, Plastic Candy, Je Ne Sais Quoi or LOONA's Love Letter, Stylish, Perfect Love, Pose. If they are not a fan the Marvel Avengers series, then you should skip the ARTMS/LOONA title track music videos. The only title track I'd recommend is Heart Attack.

All of ARTMS' and majority of Loona's music videos were directed by the same company - digipedi. They are responsible for the storytelling, connecting all the music videos together. Just like watching the Marvels Avengers series.

introducing them to the classics bangers, this was fun lol, i can't wait for the full album

damn you put them in the good music, this was fun :D

I Never Glow, all K-Pop all the time!!! I love it guys!

You gotta do their MVs, the other videos are being pushed by the HIVE but don't fall into that trap.

Supernatural.

Ditto was last years song of the year

I recommend watching NewJeans' official music videos first. The story in the videos can change how you experience the music. It's best to listen to their songs in the order of their debut releases.

Need to expose your friends to the GOAT of Kpop girl groups: Blackpink.

Love the reaction guys. But change the tags from the aespa ones! #haseul #jinsoul #heejin #kimlip #choerry was thoroughly entertained.
