Q: If you were to live together (share house) with one of the members, who would you choose to live with?

Sawamoto Natsuki: Keito. Ever since I came to Tokyo, we've been together/friends for almost 11 years so he's more or less like a little brother to me now. It's easy to be with him. We have a relationship where both of us can naturally ask favors from each other. (Keito-san who is sitting next to him also answered "Natsuki-kun." for the same question. The both of them are happy that their love is mutual.)

Kimura Keito: (Sawamoto) Natsuki-kun. Because just now I can hear him saying my name. (lol) Jokes aside, he's good at cooking so I don't think we'll have any problem with meals. I think just being with him I can learn to be mature.

Show #2

Title: The Run Me Out of Green Guyville Edition

(Note: Show titles have and will always be a challenge.)

Show Release Date: April 28, 2021

Welcome aboard, Dave!!!

At the start of the show, I ask Dave if he likes music and if he plays music, which is a callback to an interview I did of Scott.  It was one of those little things I was trying out, and if I wanted to be an interviewer, I have a long way to go.

The show itself really has no name and at the time of recording, it did not have a home either.  You may likely notice that the first three shows all release on the same day.  There was not some long marathon weekend of recording, there was just a period when I needed to find a place to host these recordings.

For a short time, I was trying to create my own site for the shows through that whole WQRZ thing, but going into this show, I dropped that pretext completely.  This show was going to be its own thing, and it was going to have to do it without a name for the time being.  (Note: when the name of the show starts being used, I will share the big elaborate flowchart and brainstorming that went into the name.) 

Needless to say, with Dave on board, we immediately had a great vibe and dynamic going.  Of course, we were just discussing these albums, and it would not be until the seventh show when we started to pit the albums against one another - and there will be more on that paradigm shift when we get to that episode.  Otherwise, we found that we had a nice little rhythm going and the ability to discuss these albums with some semblance of musical intelligence.

There is one aspect of the Top 500 that irked us all, and that was the use of "greatest hits."  Each time we stumble upon one of these, or a compilation album (later episodes with Elvis, Little Richard, and The Beatles), we say that these albums were thrown together and are not part of one cohesive endeavor for an artist.  In this show, we have Al Green with his Greatest Hits, and yet, he has two other albums in the Top 500 - so the spot, we feel, was wasted.

But please walk away with this: we realized that we played well together and complimented each to a level that we believed we potentially had something.

The "Playlist Masters" commercial is a disaster.  I still say it is a good bit, but the execution was not very good.  Imagine if you will, K-Tel getting onto your computer, into your cassette and CD collection, and into your browser history to curate the best musical playlist for you.  (For those of you unfamiliar with K-Tel, I point you down to the new reference section below.)  As it happens, the victim in this commercial has three embarrassing songs played back that best befit what was gleaned from a deep dive search of all his media.  Where this bit epically fails is that the clips are entirely too short.  The clips are as follows:  Wilson Phillips  - "Hold On", Air Supply - "Making Love Out of Nothing at All", and the last clip is a song called "The Money Shot" from a compilation album called "Sex-O-Rama 2", with the subtitle of "Classic Adult Film Music" - obviously portraying that the victim of the commercial is surfing recreational procreation.   As I said, the bit has its merits, but I did not stick the landing.

Make note, that going forward, there will be a "references" section here with either relevant links or an explanation to a bit we made. If any music is used, I will site where it originated to the best of my ability.

References:

When discussing Sleater-Kinney, we mention that the drummer's name is Janet Weiss, which is also the name of the character Susan Sarandon plays in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and just about every time someone says Janet, or Janet Weiss, the audience shouts out "SLUT!"  Now, if you are unfamiliar with the audience experience that is "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", I am incredibly sad for you.  Here is a clip with what occurs in a screening of the movie with local actors portraying the film in front of the screen.  It truly is an experience you should have in this lifetime.

In our discussion on Al Green, Dave makes mention of his cover of "Take Me to the River" and we were all surprised that this song was not included on the greatest hits album.  Seriously, check it out here.

We mentioned two songs by Liz Phair in the show, and note, at this point in time I am not playing clips from the aritsts (there was some concerns about copyrights and such that we later discussed).  Flower is an odd song, kind of Liz's Revolution #9, and you can hear it here.  The other song we mention, that is not on the Exile in Guyville album is called Supernova, and you can check out the video for it here.

When we were all digging on RUN-DMC, we mentioned the omnipresence of the song My Addidas back at the time it was released.  It still stands the test of the time, so please give the video a view here.

K-Tel Records - folks, if you can remember what a "Mix Tape" was - and not a short album release (see Drake in a future show) - this was the industry putting most of Kasey Kasem's American Top 40 (more like the top 10 of that year) or created themes, and shoving all these popular songs onto one album or cassette for your listening pleasure.  So, if you were one of those that just liked the singles and did not want to own whole albums, this was the ideal medium for you.  Ergo, the curated playlist was directly influenced by K-Tel.  Oh yeah, and their commercials were ridiculous!!

The albums as described by ChatGPT

Sleater-Kinney - "Dig Me Out" (1997):

"Dig Me Out" is the third studio album by the American rock band Sleater-Kinney. Released in 1997, the album is considered a landmark in feminist punk rock and indie rock. The band's signature sound of distorted guitars, intricate rhythms, and powerful vocals are showcased in songs such as "One More Hour," "Words and Guitar," and the title track "Dig Me Out." The album received critical acclaim upon its release and helped to establish Sleater-Kinney as one of the most important bands in the Pacific Northwest music scene.

Al Green - "Greatest Hits" (1975):

"Greatest Hits" is a compilation album by the legendary soul singer Al Green. Released in 1975, the album features some of his most well-known and beloved songs, including "Let's Stay Together," "Tired of Being Alone," and "Love and Happiness." Green's smooth, silky voice and emotive delivery make these songs timeless classics, and his influence can be heard in countless soul and R&B artists that have followed in his footsteps.

Liz Phair - "Exile in Guyville" (1993):

"Exile in Guyville" is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Liz Phair. Released in 1993, the album is a raw and unapologetic exploration of sexuality, relationships, and the experience of being a woman in a male-dominated industry. The album's lo-fi sound, combined with Phair's candid and confessional lyrics, created a sensation in the indie rock scene and has since been regarded as a groundbreaking album for women in rock.

Run-DMC - "Raising Hell" (1986):

"Raising Hell" is the third studio album by the influential hip-hop group Run-DMC. Released in 1986, the album helped to popularize hip-hop in mainstream music and solidified Run-DMC's place in music history. The album features hits such as "Walk This Way," a collaboration with Aerosmith, "It's Tricky," and "My Adidas." The group's signature style of stripped-down beats, booming basslines, and aggressive rhymes paved the way for future generations of hip-hop artists.
