Interview with Love Me Destroyer - Podcast 53

Hi, this is Cody from Love Me Destroyer, urging you never to travel via tandem bicycle. Sound Scene Revolution.

♪ music ♪

I am Rich with the ever, let's just call him, magnanimous sound guy Nairman. We missed a couple of weeks, and I'm sorry about that. That's our bad. We fucking had a couple interviews that we weren't able to make, a couple that kind of fell through, and we just got really swamped. But we came back, and we have a new interview for you guys this week. And actually, I just, oh no, no, because we had Defiance, Ohio. Outside of Defiance, Ohio, this week is our third Suburban Home Records band in four weeks, or four shows, rather. But I can't help it, because they're all coming through the area, and they're all really fucking good. So, fucking enjoy it. All right, before we get into our show this week, we have the winner of the Tim Berry Contest.

For all those of you who remember, the winner gets a copy of Revanted Junction. I think they get a Tim Berry pint glass, and like a free back rub or something from Virgil at Suburban Home. I don't know. We'll send it to you. Don't worry. But the winner is Kim F. from Louisville, Kentucky. And one of the things I thought was really cool about Kim is we asked, you know, Tim named his songs after stuff he saw on the side of a train car. What would you name your songs after? And Kim said she would name them after movies ripped on by Mystery Science Theater 3000. And as a huge nerd growing up, and as a huge nerd currently, I thought that was really awesome, because I'm a huge Mystery Science 3000 fan. So, congratulations, Kim. We'll send that out to you as soon as we quit being lazy.

This week, we have a fantastic interview with a couple of guys from, I don't know where they're from. Denver, Colorado? Somewhere? I don't know. They're from somewhere, and they're called Love Me Destroyer. And they feature Scooter James from a band called Pinhead Circus. Maybe you've heard of them. Maybe you haven't. But they sat down with us, and they talked about all sorts of really cool shit, including their new album, The Things Around Us Burn. And they're going to be doing a huge giveaway this week. I actually just got the email in from Kyle from Suburban Home, who's been hooking us up, and he said, possibly because they're downsizing their office, he's just going to send us whatever he can get his hands on in the office.

So, we are going to have a huge giveaway this week. So, be sure to listen to the end of the show to learn how to earn really cool free stuff. Alright? So, first things first, we're going to play a track by Love Me Destroyer, and then we're going to hop straight into the songs. So, or straight into the interview, as it is. The first song we're going to play is called Color of the Grave. It's off their new LP, The Things Around Us Burn. Enjoy the interview, and be sure to listen to the end to learn how to win free crap.

Yes, exactly. One guy's got to take care of business. He's selling t-shirts by the pound. I feel bad, because he's the one who was like, oh yeah, I'll set the interview up, and now he's like, oh, I've got to sell shirts. He's not a wordsmith. He's kind of quiet, soft-spoken. It's alright. Every band needs to have one. Exactly. He's the one guy that gets shit done. We're the people that make this story happen. Alright. So, why don't we, I guess, first place, just go around, say your name, what you do in the band. He's got a mic one. Does that really matter? That's the best sounding. Excellent. Alright. My name's Cody. I play drums. Ryan Welter, lead guitar. Scooter James, superstar. Jesus Christ. I play the keytar and the mandolin. No, I play guitar and sing.

I thought the keytar was good. I'm a liar, too. He's the front man. He's the front man, first and foremost. Yeah, you've got to put the biggest dude up front, so if the riot breaks out, then I'll be the one to protect these guys from sheer disaster. A lot of those happen in your shows. Oh, fuck it. All the time. Don't even go there. Alright. It's mostly because the Zima runs out. Once the Zima runs out, man, the crowd gets tough. Nothing sends punks into hysteria quicker than the lack of wine coolers. The problem is that only half of the band really drinks, so the drink tickets get split up between two people. Which equals a lot of drink tickets for two guys. But it's nice, though, because it tears down.

Come see us when we're opening the show. You get a better show. If we're headlining, and if you've got the lion's share of the drink tickets, it's going to be sloppy, sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. But see, it's like evolution. It's like you've got Taylor, who's straight edge, never done anything in his life. Then you've got Cody, who's like, he gets loose now and then. He'll throw down. But then Ryan and I are just... Well, yeah. There's Ryan, and the only reason Ryan's not up to my level is because I'm still ten years older than him. Barely. Barely. He's catching up. Barely just gets older. So basically, I'm going to die, and Ryan's still going to be... It's like... We have this, like... And he's going to get buried under the pool table at the Triple Rock.

Oh, yeah. I set that up on this tour, too. What? Yeah, I set it up. I was telling Billy, I think I set it up. I don't know. I have a... Yeah, I know. You don't fucking remember. I have a standing thing with the Triple Rock where I get carried out of that place every time I'm there. I think we're going to shoot your remains out of a cannon during It's Raining Man. At the Triple Rock. Over the pool table. Over the pool table. While Taylor's singing karaoke. Yeah. And I'm meeting a poor boy in a Jack and Jolt. Yeah. But see, I told Ryan when he joined the band, I'm like, it's kind of like, it'll be cool because I'm going to die soon, and then you'd be like the good-looking widow. He'll find a new band, you know? So it'll be all good.

When this band tragically disbars, when you die, he'll just pick up... It's not going to tragically disbar. We have a... Are you kidding? Are you kidding? He's the only original member. Or like... Taylor will get someone else like a week later to play a show, just like the last time. Fuck it. What Colin Scooter? The LFD has never missed a show and has gone through about 54, 53 guys? Half our band, including one very founding member, quit and we played a show with this man like a week and a half later. Thanks for calling me a man, dude. He's a man. He's a man. Thanks for calling him out on being a man. Sorry to call you out on being a man, dude. I'm trying to be the effeminate best friend with all the ladies on the podcast.

Yeah. I just want to watch Dawson's Creek and fucking watch Dawson's Creek and fucking fuck. Dawson's Creek and fuck and fuck. You can let loose. There's only been two ladies on the podcast. Yeah. No shit. Don't worry. And neither one of them was hitting on us, so they were gay, probably. Probably. Yeah, she didn't want this. Yeah. All right. Let's talk about music, I guess. What the fuck is music, man? I don't even listen to music, dude. I'm sorry. Come on. Does a plumber want to fix his John when he gets off work? I don't think so.

Is that some kind of sexual innuendo? Maybe. Maybe it is. Let's talk about it. It all depends on how you take it. Let's get serious. Let's talk about music. Yeah. I got a clipboard. This is highly professional. Come on. Direct time to waste. You're not doing a good directing, this question. You mentioned that you had had a lot of line-up changes. You're the only original from the first time around, right? Yeah, but it doesn't matter because it's a whole new band. My whole thing with it was I got a lot of shit for doing what we did, but the thing is the band never had a chance to establish itself and make a sound and do anything, so it didn't really matter. I mean, it did matter. I didn't want any of the people to quit, obviously.

Anytime somebody quits and you get new people, it changes the whole dynamic of the band, but it's like this new record is a good start to where we could be. It's like we finally are starting to develop something that's ours, and so it's like I didn't really feel like having that many member changes really was a big problem. It stirred up a lot of haters in the member scene. Oh, yeah. A ton of haters. And then once we were like, yeah, dude, we got a full-length album, and we're going to be on the road for a month at a time, I'll take it easy. And everybody that was hating was like, I heard the album. It kicks ass. You guys are doing good. Yeah, high-five it. Up high, down low. Too slow. You'd be amazed at how many people in Denver don't understand the word perseverance.

Ouch. I'd be amazed. I'd be amazed how many people. But they have a neck tat that says perseverance. Exactly. Your tattoos are easy. You'd be in Tufts, what's hard?

Damn straight. Copyright. RyanWelter.com. Get that on a t-shirt, dude. Okay. All right. Next cue. I actually wanted to ask, I heard for the CD release show you guys were talking about doing a Guitar Hero 2 tournament. Oh, we tried. It didn't pan out? No, well, we just got lazy. Speaking of perseverance, yeah. It was a fucking unbelievable forethought. And it's kind of developed into like a Monday night thing at one of our buddies' bars in town. Yeah, the Red Rocks Grill in Denver does do Guitar Hero tournaments every Monday night. But the problem is, Scooter and I also DJ on Monday nights at another bar in Denver, so fuck the Guitar Hero tournament. Exactly. But we're still planning on doing it, because the whole point was, Cody used to work for a production company, so our whole deal was like, you know, we were going to do this big thing at the merch table and have the show down, and then the final battle was going to be on stage with the projection screen and this big thing right before we played.

And it still is, well, actually, why am I telling people this? Someone's going to steal our fucking idea. You know what? You didn't hear anything. That's it, goddammit. Like, sick of it all is going to steal our fucking idea, I'm sure. Sick of it all, Guitar Hero 2 tournament. Great. Great. Because they listen to our show. They might. You never know. My grandma's going to steal your fucking Guitar Hero idea. Well, good. Well, then we're good to go, because I think it's, you know, it started out to be a great idea. But you know what's funny is even strip, I saw ads in strip bar, I can't remember where we were, last night, Portland, there was an ad in this fucking, for a strip bar that had a guitar hero night.

In a strip bar? At a fucking strip bar. It's like, if you're that stupid, you're going to play fucking Guitar Hero while you've got titties hanging out. You've got problems, man. That's why they've got to pay to see boobs, because they're never going to get it for free. Exactly. All right. But no, we were going to, we had, we were also going to do, like, palm reading, a kissing booth, and all kinds of stuff. At a glory hole. That was on the down low. That was only in the green room. You weren't supposed to tell them. That was called the LMG, the L, love me, glory hole. Hey. Pigs are here. What's up? There, they go, one time, fool. SFP, dude. Yeah, that's right, pig. Don't pull it off, you ain't going to use it.

All right, next question.

Oh, God. The interview flows so well from question to question. All right. I wanted to ask, on your MySpace, you had mentioned that you had to wait for the long arm of the law to release your balls for the new album. There was something in terms of that? Well, there's a few people that, well, there's a lot of things still in litigation. Clown suits, most of them. What I was alluding to was that we, you know, we just, we had a few snafus and, you know, we're still kind of doing things DIY, so we are in the realm of using public defenders for the most part. And, you know, DAs, public defenders, like, they're not all in bed together as conveniently as they should to get us on the road in time. So there was actually a good three-day stretch where poor Taylor was waiting for a public defender to set him free.

And the three of us just sat in my living room waiting for the call with the van loaded up ready to go on tour. And we were just canceling shows every day when we woke up and figured out that he wasn't going to make it to get in the van. So that, that kind of set us back a week, but, um, Scooter's doing really well now. Yeah, I'm finally off probation. I was part of the problem too. I was on probation. Can I, can I ask what for? Is that still kind of, uh, well, Taylor's thing was still kind of, it's kind of weird bullshit thing. We don't even know what the hell it's about. He won't tell us. Dumb shit. Like, it's crazy dumb shit, but my shit was even dumber. It's an open case, you can't talk about it. It's an open case, you can't talk about it.

But, uh, mine was for my second DUI. Apparently Colorado figures it's like worthy of, it's worthy of two years in prison to just drive a block home from the bar, not get in an accident, not kill any families. The sweet part is now you've got a digital harmonica on your car though. I do. I have a breathalyzer. Are you kidding me? Now do you have to pay to install that? Oh yeah. What? Yep. Wow. 60 bucks a month. Fuck.

They put an ad wrap around my breathalyzer. It's like basically just suburban home stickers around it. It's actually a dead format brand. Dead format stickers around the breathalyzer. So people see me driving and I'll be like. You can actually, uh, for a penny extra when you get any suburban home release, you can get a CD of Scooter blowing into his breathalyzer. We are going to start the record with that. It's all beep, beep.

Ding, ding. That's going to be the whole CD. That Loverboy kicks on this area. That Loverboy.

Everybody's working for the weekend. Still a little view in your personal life there on that. Uh, well, dude. Sorry, whatever. I was more interested in the Loverboy. That was a little. I drive, I spill. That's no excuse for Loverboy though. Don't bring Loverboy to a knife fight. I don't know what you're talking about. Who said Loverboy? You said Loverboy. I didn't. Who's talking about Loverboy? You guys are. Next question. We don't listen to Loverboy. We listen to Sworn Enemy. Meat Freak. That's the way we roll. That's how it is. East Coast Hardcore. Throwdown. Throwdown. Right. Okay. Um, so you guys, the new album, uh, was streamed on, uh, APNet, wasn't it? Yes. Do you guys, do you know about that? Were you made aware?

I think Taylor's the only one that really knew exactly what was going on. He's unavailable for comment at the time. No, um, actually that was a, that was a really awesome promotion that they helped us do for, for the first little bit that the record was out. You know, we, uh, got a lot more people to listen to it. Um, we got some fantastic hate mail out of that. And, unfortunately, to go along with that stream. The first review that we got on APNet was, uh, was a user review that just tore us to fucking shreds. But it's great because when you, well, what's great is user reviews, especially like that, when, when a douchebag talks about himself and his review more than your album, you know, he's probably not going to listen to the fucking album.

It's very credible.

Oh, God. But anyways, no, that did wonders for us. I really appreciate you doing that. Other than the one user review. No, the best review was from Vice Magazine. Really? Yeah, when it said we sounded like... It had a whole paragraph, and it said nothing about what we sounded like until the last sentence, and it said, we sound like hot water music mixed with shoving a suburban strip mall up your ass. What? Yeah, I think that was supposed to mean... I don't even know what that means. I think it's good. Some circles, that might mean good things. I think they meant it negative, but that's a point of pride, because we do spend a lot of time in malls in suburbia. And obviously, we pissed the guy off enough to say, shove a strip mall up our ass.

Vice Magazine, that's like one of those pitchfork ones, where they're so fucking full of themselves. That's cool, dude. If you get a bad review, it means you're good. Yeah, it probably means your album doesn't suck. They're like, oh, this guy's got a bad review. They don't sound like Interpol. Weird. What the fuck's Interpol, dude? Yeah, we... Not that I know who Interpol is. I did date a girl. It was into Indie Rock's day. Is that Indie Rock? I don't even know. We'll say it is. What the fuck is Indie Rock? You dated a girl? I dated a girl. That is weird. Thanks for calling me out on that. Thanks for calling me out. That was a while ago. No call-outs on the interview, boys. All right. All right, we're going to take a break somewhere in the middle there of the interview.

We're not sure because Sound Guy and Airman couldn't take notes because we were in their van. But we'll say you're roughly midpoint. So, coming up, we've got some more interview. We also have a chance for you to win some really awesome crap from Suburban Home Records and Love Me Destroyer. Be sure to check it out. Before we go, though, we're going to jump back into the interview. We're going to play a song by Love Me Destroyer off of their album, The Things Around Us Burn. I've had the album for like a few weeks now, and I still look at it to get the album title. But we're going to play F-U-I-Q off of the album, which is a little acronym. If you can figure it out, I'll let you think about that. Get back to me.

Enjoy the song. And we'll tell you how to enter the contest there, at the end there.

♪ song played ♪

It's the last one. Yeah, we got slammed about that one, too. Yeah, you got to get a thousand questions about that song, because you're listening to the album, and then the fucking last song comes along. And it's so entirely different than every other song on the album. You're just like, what? Hindsight's 20-20. And think it's probably not really good. Would you spell, like, would you fucking... Sorry, I'm just checking that. I love, like, I love power ballads, man. I love fucking Journey. I love... Well, I don't love fucking Journey. I love listening to Journey.

You know, Skid Row, all that stuff, like, I'm all about it. And then Haylin. Oh, it happened to, like, I was trying to write a power ballad for years, and it just kind of happened the day before we went into the studio. We thought it'd be cool, and then hindsight come to think, it's probably not that cool, because you're right, it's, like, out of nowhere. And people think it's, like, some people think it's all tongue-in-cheek, and it kind of is, to an extent, but on the other extent, it was, like, I was stoked to write the song. Yeah. It was from the heart. You know how, like, if you listen to, like, Dark Side of the Moon and watch Wizard of Oz, it all syncs up? If you drink, like, a 30-pack of Keystone, and you get to the last song, it syncs right up.

Everything comes together. Comes together, because that's about the time you're drunk-dialing. Exactly. And, uh, crying. You know, if you, uh, if you take, well, you gotta take into account that, um, Scooter, Scooter could be my dad. So thanks for calling me out on the internet. Not just age-wise, but logistically, it's possible that he's your father. It could really be possible. We haven't really looked into it, because it's kind of creepy. Yeah. But, um, his mom and I go way back. They're like, they're like this. Son. Oh. His mom called me out, even. Like, it's funny, this guy calls me out. His mom called me out, actually. What? Do you remember all the band moms love the ballad, and are like, you guys should write more songs like that.

Like, yeah, no. We had a night where we were supposed to go to Grand Junction and play a show, and the pass got closed for two days, so we didn't make it right before our release show. And so we went out and got drunk, and I did this little question and answer thing with the local paper, and I made some comment about how we drink every night like most people drink on New Year's, but I decided to start drinking a bottle of vodka that morning, and we showed up at Cody's house, and his mom was rocking out. Anyway, she was partying with her sister, right? She was fucking hammering, dude. Yeah. And then, so, she calls me out, and she's like, yeah, way to live up to your reputation, dude. Why you gotta call me out on that, dude?

Oh, my God. Calling out and calling out. It's like I get called out by everybody, even Cody's mom. She loves you. It's true, though. Even though you've led me so tragically astray. We've led him down a flock, you fucking sheep.

It's weird, because all I can see is, like, his eyes. Drummers, drummers, bunch of queers. Fucking queers. Drummers chasing, getting up a tree. Let's go play a paradiddle in a fucking tree, you fucking queers. It's like a guitar player, getting pussy for the first time in the history of getting pussy.

Yeah. This sounds like a family reunion. Oh, we've just been watching The Departed, like, every day. Oh, I haven't seen that yet. Oh, there you go. You gotta watch it, and then this will be a lot funnier when you listen to it. I have heard how it ends. Oh, ruined. Yeah, talk about ruined. Oh, and you want it? It's like a threesome with two black chicks.

That's not how The Departed ends. That's how it ends for this guy. This guy's got his own things going on. He's like, yeah. Are you talking about The Departed, or that dirty video I borrowed from you? I don't know, I can't remember. They're both very good. Let me destroy you. That's how I'm like a threesome with two black chicks. That's how the first thing he got his first Oscar was the threesome. Black chicks. Yeah, definitely. That's what the Academy was like, that. That's Oscar-worthy material there. This guy's going places. This guy's good. Put on the old, take it too hard. You're like, wrap it up, B. Wrap it up. That's all right. He added six, so I don't care. Can I write question number three? Four, maybe. Oh, I got to ask.

You won the 2005 West Word Magazine's best punk band in Denver, right? Yeah, Cakewalk. Oh, dude. You know why? How? Well, because ten years earlier to the day, ten years exactly earlier, my old band won it. And so we had this big joke with us about take back the plaque because a very important founding member quit and we decided we were going to take back the plaque just to spite him because we got a plaque. But this time we got a fucking statue. Really? It was like a little paperweight of a guitar. It's kind of crappy, but. Didn't he break it? And a bike. No, it's still there. And we got a bike, too. It looks like Pee Wee Herman's bike. Whoa. I thought we were going to pass it around. What a deal, huh? But, yeah, that was our whole motto was take back the plaque and then, sure enough, bam!

That's cool. Ten years. And a bike. Ten years. It wasn't a tandem bike, though. Oh, yeah. Is this time for the PSA? So why would you give a band of four guys one bike and you're like, have fun? A bicycle built for one? Yeah. You know why? Because if you gave us a bicycle built for four, we'd probably be dead. Tell them, Cody. Did you guys know? Hey. Serious. This is a serious moment right now, PSA. Serious. We like to have a lot of fun on the road. But sometimes you've got to get serious. Did you know that tandem bicycling, or bicycling for two, kills 2.8 million trillion billion Americans every second. That's a lot. Wait. No, no, no. Yeah, you think that's bad. Think about it. Tandem. There's two fucking seats. So take that number and double it.

That's like 5.98 billion million people every second. You know how to write a suicide note? Wait for a tandem bike ride, honey. I'll be back. No way. Why would he? You might as well break up a shark fight with a shrimp suit. Yes. Because you've got better odds than riding a tandem bike. Jeez. That sounds like something my grandfather would say. Hey, what? Is that an old shot, pal? Way to call him out on being old. Thanks for calling me out on being old. Well, you are wearing fucking assless chaps and a fucking journey t-shirt. Journey t-shirt. Yeah, I am. What's wrong with that? When the lights go down in the city. All right. I want to actually ask. I've got one more. Okay, one more question. That's good. One more question.

Because I really only have one more. So that's good. On your album, there's a phone call that transitions into Color of the Grave. Is that an actual fucking phone call? And if it is, give me some backstory to that. I can give you the whole story really quick. All right. Go for it. All right. There's a really good friend of mine that I was working with. Yeah, no names here. That was a co-worker. A few Halloweens ago, a co-worker and I got down with another friend of mine. We gave her the old airtight rotisserie. And then shit got weird. All right. So shortly after that, the girl that things had gotten weird with started dating another girl. Well, I decided I liked other girl. Other girl decided she liked me. So then I started dating other girl.

In the process of all of that, there's another ex-girlfriend that was trying to get stuff sparked back up, who I was genuinely interested in starting things back up again. But, you know, cards kind of fell how they did. And I was like, I'm going to go for this new lesbian that I stole from somebody else. And then once, our last Midwest tour, a cool lesbian girl replaced me while we were gone. Go figure. I got replaced too. So when I got home, I called my other ex-girlfriend that, you know, wanted to rekindle things. And she was like, really wanted to let me have it for ditching her for, I don't know, lesbian number one, two or three, whatever. And I was like, hey, you know what? I'm really sorry. Just let me have it.

Just let me have it. Like, what is on your mind? And I fucking pressed record, and that was the, that fucking bitch would rather eat pussy than fuck you. How does that make you feel? And it just, it went on and on. Like, we actually faded the shit out. Like, it went on and on. And, you know, she got done, and I was like, you know, I love you. And, you know, we're actually pretty cool now. And it's funny because it starts out with Cody's heartache, and then the majority of the lyrics is like Scooter's heartache about another chick. And then I got a little verse about some heartache about another chick. So it's kind of like a three-way fucking gangbang of heartache. That song is a heartache, gangbang, and drop tuning.

Yeah. So, uh. Well, there you go. But just to redeem myself, I kissed a girl last night. Yeah. What? You also kissed a dude two days ago. Who cares? Oh, yeah. Gay bar spoke in. Two days ago was the same passion. Drop it, dude. Yep. Drop it. So that's all right. Drop it. Hey, when in Rome, Ryan and I would experiment. They're more than gay guys. Trust me. I've met a few dudes. Try new things with dudes. What happens on the road stays on the road. What happens in gay bars in Spokane gets told at podcasts. All right. Which at least four to five people will hear. All right. Let's wrap it up. All right. Wrap it up, B. What the fuck is a condom? What the fuck is a condom? That's not true. What the fuck is an iPod? I still rock my fucking.

You want to. Scooter's getting something. I was going to show you my Discman since I don't own technology. I was hoping you had like a big ass fucking like the old Walkmans like people would jog with them. I do still. Do you? I saw a bomb on one of those right here. A portable 45 player. Yeah. A-track. Hey, man. Don't walk so fast. I'm trying to rock out. To the Delphana. All right. We're going to wrap this up. You guys got anything else? Websites? Tours coming up a couple weeks from now. Mickey Avalon. Check out Mickey Avalon. I mean, everybody knows about him already, but he's our favorite person in the world. He's on MySpace Records, and he's blown up. He's dirty as shit. He restored my faith in the white rapper.

Always rock Fallout Boy at maximum volume. That was only Scooter saying that. They sold you out. They were like, no, no, no. White rappers are okay. What else? I'm used to it, man. I'm used to it. MySpace backslash Ryan Welter, or forward slash Ryan Welter 303. Rate bag 69. Check it out. That's me. If you want to talk. You got any more questions that didn't get covered in the interview, I'll be happy to answer it. Do you really want people talking to you about this interview? Seriously. If they've made it this far, yeah. It's kind of like Saw 4. All right. All right. Let's end on a nice plateau. All right. Thank you for coming out. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. Cheers. Cheers.

What's going on, Sound Scene Revolution? We are wrapping up this interview with the great guys of Love Me Destroyer. I want to thank them so much. It was huge getting a chance to talk to them. They were super nice guys. Everybody, Taylor from the band was actually who he's helped set that up with. I'm hoping it's Taylor, not Tyler. Either way, the guy with the T, bass player, maybe you've met him. It is Taylor. Helped set that up, and he is probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met. If you get the chance, give him a high five from me. He won't know why, but do it. So, like I said, we have a huge contest this week. Kyle from Suburban Home Records is totally hooking us up, as they always do. So, if you want to win some of the awesome Suburban Home Records stuff, feel free to send us an email at soundscenerevolution at gmail.com.

Include Love Me Destroyer contest in the subject line. And, uh, here's what you gotta do. To make sure that you were listening, you have to answer this question. Scooter James Libby, I don't know what his last name is. But, uh, they said they wanted to do a Guitar Hero contest for their CD release show. And they weren't able to, but, uh, whatever. If you had the chance to do any video game contest for your CD release show, what would you do? I personally would go with Myst, because it'd be really fucking long and nobody would win. And really, I'm a cheap bastard. But, so whatever you would do to allow people to, uh, win something at your CD release show that's video game related, answer that. We'll pick however many winners we get.

I know for a fact Kyle said he's probably gonna round up a pint glass, uh, both of Love Me Destroyer CDs and maybe some other stuff. So, there's gonna be a lot of really good shit. And, uh, I would like, first of all, to say thank you to Suburban Home Records. Cause, uh, these guys have been really, really good to us. And, not every, you'd think every indie DYI record label would be good to independent media and a lot of them are dicks. So, uh, I'm not gonna say names, uh, Bursack Records, but a lot of them have been fucked up to us, or at least not very polite. So, it's nice that there are labels out there like Suburban Home who really look out for you, even if you're just a shitty podcast. So, with that, we're gonna wrap up the, uh, show for this week.

Be sure to enter to win. Check in to see if you win. And, in the future. And, we're gonna play the title track called Things Around Us Burn. Awful Love Me Destroyer's The Things Around Us Burn. I hope you enjoy it. And, uh, we'll see you all next week.

Hey, this is Scooter, Ryan, and Cody with the Morning Zoo Crew. And, you're listening to, we don't listen to the S.S. League. Wait, that's not right. What's the acronym? Wait, take five. I really like the acronym better. SSR. SSR, okay. It's cause it's shorter. Hey, what's up? This is Cody. Oh, I'm doing it again. What the fuck is your name? Hey, this is Cody. This is Ryan. Scooter James, bitch. And, fuck you! And, you're learning about rape bags from Sound Scene Revolution. Get your cloud suits on it. One, two, three, four! Love Me Destroyer! No, okay. Redo, redo. Redo. Let's do a good one. Oh, we're doing that one. We're keeping that one. Ryan Wilter. Thanks for listening to this. Check me out on MySpace. Hi, this is Scooter James.

And, I just want to tell you that bears are just mountain sharks. Watch your ass, gangsters.

Breakdown. Oh! I think we got it. Isn't it weird? Cancel that one out. Two of the three bands here tonight are on fat. That's totally weird. One of these bands is doing his own thing and not making any money at that. Oh, wait. Did I say that? I don't know if there's a couple of bands not making money here, but you're definitely one of them. Absolutely. All right. Thank you.
