about the show is about songs we love and why we love them and the meaning behind them why they resonate with us and it's all listener and put but i am super excited to welcome to guest the show tonight who have fantastic so i wonder why that's a good point there is a reason for that well and i remember why it was because doug and tom was taken as an internet domain really and tom a dog wasn't you know the memory of that because i was thinking of telly degas nights jersey i saw the times be on one of these yeah yeah and that was a stage name that there was only slightly weirder than your first stage name elmer j vocals bass guitars drums lap cymbals yeah as well as percussion lap cymbals when you take the symbol and you just put it on your lap and hit it with the drum set i think that's great and you guys have other people that come on it seems like when i was looking at the c d s that don't want to play anything else but we do actually do work with good musicians sometimes doug always says that we have to bring in real musicians to play as well as as a producer you're always trying to figure out what is the sound you want the finished product to be like it's a good kind of a puzzle that you're putting together without knowing what the end really looks like and you're just trying to hear what's missing what type of instrument do we need what type of sound what type of person can get that sound and so then sometimes it's about trying to bring in the right studio musician because you know i'm a pretty ok rhythm guitarist but i make rapid lead guitarist or you could tap dancer because i hear you ha thirty am and saturday mornings at eleven thirty and thirty that's for those of you in new jersey that's at seven thirty here a lot of listeners in new jersey might have some  blanket fort kids or what i would like to say that we should post it on our facebook i'll send it to you and you send it to us we'll put it on our the love of music page and then everyone can see the animals but i'm not going to do that but you can have them do but i don't have the blanket for it anymore they have this beautiful wonderful studio this is a great suit if we could put a blanket or in this to be humble and we could produce something animal house yeah we can still recreate it well you know no rain right you know can we can can crash and so the question i have for each of you one question i want to ask you is what's a song once honk because our show is a love of music it's a songs that are impactful to us that have meaning and that we think about and it could be you know two years ago it might be totally different you know today it might be totally different yesterday might be different what's a song like right now you would tell me that it is an impactful song and i want to hear why from both you and my  one the song that just rocked me the most in my life was randy newman's i want you to hurt like i do which is a just a wonderful song if you're familiar with it but basically in the song he's telling his six year old son why he's leaving him and basically  sonny i just want you to hurt like i did and it's just it's basically trying to explain why people are so cruel to each other and just sort of blew me away to me that was that that song had such an incredible  spiritual component to it and an understanding of why people behave the way they do and it was some fun to see i've seen randy newman a number of times and he just seems to get better and better as he gets older but that song is truly amazing that yeah recently well since since bowie died i went back and was listening to him with a new ear i guess and that song which i never really cared much about i mean sure it was a fine song but listening to it and the production of it and weird sounds in it and how it changes in ways that just works so beautifully but are so freakin surpris previous but  tom might admit to being a true story wasn't absolutely true story is that you're sitting in this place where they do have a lap dancers and some guy has like a seizure goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo he's not going over tables and all the like the paramedics there and all sorts of like a medical thing happened i was ok but it was it was just a seizure but everybody sort of turns into these different roles and everybody is already a weird i assume it's a weird environment to begin with and then it's even weirder when all this and you have people who aren't there to participate in it such as paramedics yes so in the same space if you like some have a seizure at the grocery store everybody you know but in a strip club where nobody's supposed to talk to each other it's this one of these guys thing i thin that's weird and it was just a strange strange environment to be and i thought that's an odd thing to write a song about and i mean unfortunate decision to write that song and i did he have a happy ending yeah oh yeah again and get a little plug in here because it's a biographical supercell store about about life and culture and music featuring us playing our thirty years of original music yeah it's all about our epic and sustained failures yet music business y how we remained as a band when we were talking about earlier is because we've never had to deal with the burden of success and it's on saturday mornings at eight thirty and monday seven more exact levon thirty and monday evenings at eight thirty
