Interview with Bomb the Music Industry! - Podcast 67

This is. Where. All right. Let's. All right. Hi. Hi. Where.

♪ music ♪

And what you're listening to is Sound Scene Revolution. This is Skylar from Asian Man. And I'm walking away.

It's rich. Uh, so we are running currently our last show, uh, for a while, uh, in memoriam to Owen Wilson, who fucking went crazy. How about that? The Butterscotch Stallion, man, got put out to pasture, almost. Anyhow, uh, we'll touch more on that, but I'm pretty sure it's you, me, and Dupree related. Um, but before we get into that, we got an interview this week with Bomb the Music It's actually Jeff of Bomb the Music Industry and a couple of dudes who stand in on instruments. Uh, I don't think they played on the album. Uh, uh, I can't remember their names right now. One of them's in Chodo Ghetto, though. And so that's pretty sweet. Because everybody likes them. And by everyone, I mean me. And by everyone, I mean people who matter.

So, moving on with that. We get a couple of contests we're wrapping up this week. The first one we have is the Asian Man Extravaganza, which we got, like, a record number of people for. I'm assuming a bunch of, like, fat goth chicks who are an Asian man, or into, uh, Alkaline Trio, rather. Fucking found out about this and got all crazy and entered on the MySpace. But, uh, the winner is actually Bruce K. Out of Middleton, uh, Wichita. Wisconsin. Wisconsin. Middleton, Wisconsin. So, uh, congratulations, Bruce K. You are going to be getting both Dan Pothast albums. Pothast? Albums? Uh, Lawrence Arms Cocktails and Dreams. And the re-release of Alkaline Trio's Girdammit. Which is, uh, I don't think it's out just yet.

But it's going to be coming out. And I'm excited for that. So, congratulations. I believe Bruce's answer, by the way, was the original Bruce Lee, uh, Bruce Lee Band album. Or B. Lee Band, if you will. Album. Which is a really good album. I think he also said he would have chosen Less Than Jake, but they were eliminated. And Less Than Jake is only eliminated because of their current sins. Not because of anything they used to do, but the fact that they blow hard ass right now. That's right, Less Than Jake. Like, come down to San Jose and do something about it. We'll pogo together. Alright, the whole wheat bird contest. Uh, the winners got a copy of the Punk Life EP. Which features some broad with her boobs hanging out in a beer gut.

Which is pretty sweet. Uh, winners are Jacob P. of San Jose, California. Who, uh, apparently lives, like, straight down the street, but because we mail shit, he'll get it in about a decade. So, congratulations for that. And Jesse S. or Jesse H. of Bettysville, Mid-Dakota, Maryland. Damn. Jesse H. from Not A Real State. Liar. So, those are all the contests. We have a brand new contest to go in conjunction with our Bomb the Music Industry interview. We are going to be giving away a copy of a CD of Get Warmer, the actual Asian Man Records CD, and a copy of the limited edition Bomb the Music Industry Get Warmer picture disc. There are only 500 of these pressed, so you'll be getting one of 500, plus I own one, so you'll be getting, like, one of 499 that are available.

Because the only way you're getting mine is if you beat me in Thunderdome, and I'm undefeated, bitch. Two men enter, one men leave. By one men, I mean me, and my man chest hair. I'm like a fucking Yeti, bitch. Alright. So, with that, we are going to jump into some Bomb the Music Industry music, and then the interview. We're going to be playing all tracks off Get Warmer, because it's their newest album. If you don't want to hock up and pony up the dough, you can get all their stuff at quote-unquote-records.com, but throw in some donations, because Jeff is poor as fuck. Believe me, I've seen the man. He wears cut-off shorts. No man with money wears cut-off shorts. So, we're going to play Bike Test 123. Enjoy it, and stay tuned.

We're out in the back of Bottom of the Hill before they start, hanging out with Bomb the Music Industry. Hey, guys. Hey.

I like the non-word answer there. So, if you guys just real quick want to go around. I like the non-word answer. I'm going to go around to do this. We already fucked up the first question. He hasn't even gotten the first question yet. It's not the radio. You can say fuck. Yeah, you can say fuck. Wow. It's like internet radio. It's like live365.com. I guess this is B-grade. We're the B-team. Great. I think it's the B-plus team. When the A-string media is either way ahead or way behind, they let us come out, and we shoot some hoops. I like that. So, if you want to go around and say your name, what you do just so people can differentiate. Sure. I'm Jeff Rosenstock. I do a lot of things. I'm Neil. I play bass on this tour.

I play keyboards on some tours, and I don't know. I'm a utility player here. My name is Chris, and I play the trumpet on this tour and the keyboard on this tour. Very nice. Is that a fair answer? Yeah, it's a really good answer. Okay. That was solid. So, do you guys have a question? Was that question number one? No, that was just kind of. Oh, okay. Now, do you guys actually have a drummer on this tour, or no? No. No? No. I bought a drummer? Yeah, I mean, we flew out, so we could barely afford one plane ticket for me, and Neil had a bunch of frequent flyer vials, and Chris already lives in California, too, I guess. We have a rotating cast of characters, people who play drums, and none of them could make it, so we have an iPod.

Yeah. Yeah. It works. Does? Could be worse. Does? That was really bad. What? I don't know. I just think that was a bad answer. Well, I just, listen, I'm going in threes here, because that's a good thing, you know, so you said, yeah, yeah, and then I was like, yeah, good luck for the show. Nope. All right. Yeah. I hope you guys at Internetland have your tape recorders raised so you can listen to this over and over again. By the way, Rich, you're really going to have to be a task master here. You're going to have to, like, pull us back into these questions. We'll just mumble for hours. Can you hand, kneel right, and then me left? More 5K in the front lines. That's what I'd say. All right. So I guess the first thing is, when did the band kind of, now it's a puck, man, because you already answered this.

You're like, you're already going to be like, winter, next. All right. So how did the band get started? How did the idea for a band who basically gives out their music for free on the Internet come to term? Well, we heard about Prince doing it, and we were like, well, Prince had that Super Bowl show, and it was awesome. Oh, that was when he played the wiener guitar. Yeah. No, but, like, and the rain didn't touch him. And I was like, oh, he had that bandana on his head? Yeah, but, like, he wasn't even wet, dude. He looked like a 50s, like, housewife. And we were thinking, like, we don't want the rain to touch us. We don't want the rain to touch us anymore, so we started giving away our music for free. Since then, no rain.

Since then, the rain hasn't touched us. I don't know. I don't know. Like the hit line, that one song. Might be a little dewy. No, and I'll give an example. Like, we, uh, New York flooded, and, uh, I didn't, I sidestepped the flood because we give our music away for free on the Internet. Like, rain was sidestepped by Prince. Purple rain. And it was in the neon purple, remember that? Yeah, I know, of course. It was really a good halftime show. I got some stuff for you. Okay. Oh. Someone's got stuff for you guys. Stencils. Stencils? We, I can't fly spray paint on a plane, so. Really? Yesterday we had no stencils and spray paint. Well, I mean, I don't know, dude. I assume you can. There are pictures of things. You can't, if you can't put, like, whiskey in your bag.

With spray paint one of them? You can't put spray paint in your bag. You know? What about a knife? No, no, I'm talking about my fly-out bag. Like, they're, they don't want anything combustible. Oh, your carry-on? No, no, not my carry-on. Oh. The check-in? You can't have anything? I'm like, this is all a assumption. I assume they don't want anything combustible in your bag. Well, of course. Would you want something combustible in your bag? Yeah. No answer. In someone else's bag? Yeah. So. It depends. All right. I hope, I hope this is going to be a written interview and not a, uh. I'm typing this up. Not listen to it. Great. I'm typing this all up in hieroglyphs. Sometimes we edit interviews, this will not be one of them.

Oh, that's awful. Oh, I'm so sorry. But that's why I said you've got to be Taskmaster and really just like pull us back into questions. Well, that's the case. Sirius Satellite Radio is really offering some of the more prime radio content that I've seen in my day. Nirvana was like so great.

You know? All right, focus. Yeah, exactly. It's exactly what you've got to do. All right. So, originally, you guys have kind of actually gotten into the more tangible music lately. You started off purely MP3s, did some vinyl releases. Now, I actually have kind of like a real sort of CD. How does that feel? Is that kind of weird? Well, I would say Get Warmer is very tangible. It's extremely tangible. It's real. You can touch it. I think Get Warmer is one of the most tangible releases to come out in 2007. Have you read the online reviews? I read one of them. Five out of five tangible. Five out of five tangibilities. Maximum Rock and Roll rated us as one of the five most tangible records of 2007. Mike Park said that Maximum Rock and Roll is going to review our record.

Really? Really? What do you think they're going to say? Nothing good. I don't know. Does Maximum, do they ever have anything going to say? Well, yeah. I mean, if they. I read Bill Florio's column all the time. Bill Florio. You know Bill Florio. Yeah, I know. And I read him because he has a funny column. Yeah, but you just talked to him. It doesn't matter. He's a funny guy. Yeah, when you talk to him, it's kind of weird to read their stuff. What was the question? How does it feel to see more solid production from your efforts? It's cool because the reason why there is a CD and there's an LP because it's been vital for a little bit of a while. But basically, Asian Man was the only label I talked to. And if they said no, we wouldn't have had a CD.

And then they said yeah. And I was like, all right, well, I want to do this really elaborate artwork. And they said, okay. And I said, I want to give it away for free. They said, okay. That was it. Wow. So I guess it feels cool because I got to do some artwork. And that was one of the things that bummed me out about the music industry a little bit was just that I never really got to do artwork. And I like doing that. I like having that. So that's cool for this one. And also, there's booty bass in track two. And you can't hear it in the MP3 because it amplifies the mids. And it kind of drops out the very low and very high end. Yeah, the very high stuff gets rolled off. So booty bass. And also on vinyl, sometimes the low end isn't really as audible.

Well represented, yeah. So that's what's good about a CD. The booty bass? The booty bass. I've read that like four times when I've read about you guys. You bring that up a lot. That's because when I put in the CD, that was the only thing I could think of. It was like, yeah, you can really hear it. That's totally going to get you laid. It is my life. It's not too great. That's all right. You got free dinner. That's fucking... It was a delicious dinner. You can look it up today, man. Yeah, thanks to Bottom of the Hill for feeding us this really, really good food. Over by the cat. And thanks to Rich for bringing us the fancy beer. Yeah. That's what we do. Get some. I want you guys to come back. I don't want it to be like, you guys are like, oh, California.

Remember that place? No, we're stoked to be in California, man. It's been cool. I love California. Especially because I have nowhere to live in New York. This is nice because I'm not supposed to have anywhere to live right now. Do you speak Navajo? Do you speak Navajo? We're quoting Wee Jam O'Connell, the Minutemen documentary, because we're punk. We're from Pedro. You're from Pedro. Yeah. This CD is less punk. That's what we're trying to say. Yeah. Much less punk. Less punk. So, yeah. How are the advance? You guys getting, like, just suitcases of cash on the advances on that now? Yeah? Oh, yeah. Well, we have, like, the opportunity. We could make a shit ton of money, but no one's really buying the CD. So, I don't think we're gonna.

Oh, is mine not on? Sorry, Mike. Well, here's the thing. Like, your sarcasm is so much more convincing in person because you can see the sarcasm on your face. When people are just listening, no one's gonna really catch on to that sarcasm. I didn't realize that. I was always saying it. Yeah, you're, like, doing, you're, like, yeah. This is what he was doing with his face. That's how his face would sound? Exactly. If his face could sound, it would sound, like. I don't know. We don't think about it. Oh, it's multimedia. Oh, shit. I can take a picture. Hour two. What do you even roll with his eyes and shit? Like, I don't know. No pictures. No pictures. I don't know if I can make that face again. All right. Um, what'd you just ask me?

I think that the long and short of it is. You get a lot of money. There's no money anywhere. Jeff doesn't have any money. We don't have any money. We might make money, though. Like, if we sold, like, 4,000 CDs, we'd have some money. But we're not selling 4,000 CDs. Yeah, we're not gonna sell 4,000 CDs. No offense. You're not selling 4,000. That's just. Well, no, no, no. Hold on. Wait a second. Wait a second. What the fuck? Who does he fucking think he fucking is, man? Who the fuck is this guy? You ever heard a little movie called The Secret? If you imagine it, it'll happen. Listen, I know this is. Was Lindsay Lohan in that one? This is my first Bond music industry tour, but I'd like to change a few things around, i.e. positivity.

Chris Candy is in clarkandmichael.com, episode number 7. And it's really good. He really is. He really is. He's Bruce. Oh. Soundgun Airman just got a boner a little bit. So just so you can, like, put it together. Like, the voice and the face. If you want to see. Like, obviously everybody knows what I look like. Of course. And no one really cares what Neil looks like. But, like, I'm in it. It's true. That's another one of those cases where your sarcastic smile makes it, you know, I pick up your sarcasm. People listening are not going to pick that up? You're assuming that there's going to be people listening. Yeah. There's not. If I tell my mom about it, she'll listen. Oh, yeah. And she'll yell at me about cursing. Sorry, Joan Callahan.

Jane. Fuck. Crap.

So I think we just answered that question pretty seriously. That was pretty good. I think that was succinct. You didn't go too long on that. All right. And we got to promote one of my comedy shows that's on the end. Oh. I mean, yeah. I got to promote my mother. Yeah. So make sure you go out. On Tuesday. Do we have some product question about Clark and Michael? Yeah. Well, I don't know. Is it on TV or just the internet? It's an internet thing. Have like a get warmer post on the back down? It's on CBS.com or something like that. Tell CBS that, like, I signed a release or something. Well, I know a couple people over there. All right. Next question. See? Sound Guy and Airman's all excited now. He's like, I watched that show.

I was the boom guy on that show, actually. See? I can't remember. You're the one who said boom. Yeah. All right. Oh, boom. He was a deep boom guy. That's a Hollywood term. I'm a deep boom guy. Big microphone. Is it an explosion? I'm so confused. Hey, Rich is going to ask a good question now. One, two, three, go. It's a good thing you don't have that many questions. No, dude. And they're not that good anyway. I was going to say. I know. You only got one good question. Yeah. I only got one good question. Here it comes. Here it comes. We're ready. No, no. It's coming at the end. Don't worry. It's actually about his shorts when we get to that. That's great. Teaser trailer coming out this fall. So, has anyone asked?

Question number five is about the shorts. This one is going to be answered really seriously. Oh, yeah. It's super good. Okay. In the world of shorts, Detective Jeff Rosenstock.

Rob Schneider's found it out that a pair of shorts is at all. Rob Schneider is the cutoffs.

You know that's going to be a movie now. All right. And I'm not going to see a dime from it. So, I got to ask. Has there actually been any retaliation? Like, has anyone been pissed that you're actually, like, you have a record for sale now instead of just everything? There was one person that said one thing, and I said something back to them. I forget what they said. But, like, it was really inconsequential. It was, like, on a message board. No. People on a message board? Somebody was like, is it alright that you're doing this? And I was like, well, it's a DIY label. We like artwork. We like good style quality. It's not fair to, you know, limit our audience to people who have the internet because it's kind of being classist, you know?

Like, people should be able to listen to it even if they don't have the internet or something like that. And that person went back like, okay. So, that was it. So, one person was mad, and then I changed that person's mind. Are you going to cry? One person at a time. I'm going to burp. There we go. Alright, either way. But, yeah. Bomb the music and you're changing minds every day. Nothing's really changed. That's the thing. Like, except we have a CD now, and I'm confused as to how to try and sell it. Like, that's the only thing that's changed is that I'm a little more confused at every show. How are you confused? Just be like, show me a picture of a bass and took it down. Did you, like, smoke cocaine or something?

Yeah, no. How many cocaids did you drink? I, like, well, honestly, 14, to be honest. It's just supposed to be the serious one. Oh, I'm sorry. Fuck.

I'm sorry. What did you just ask? How am I confused? I'm just, like, for example, I didn't know I was flying out to California the day that I flew out to California. Chris called up my girlfriend. He was like, so tell him Jeff flying in tomorrow. And I'm like, yeah, tell Chris my flight gets in the next day. And then Chris was like, well, tell Jeff that he's wrong. And I was like, wait, what day is it? Fuck. So, that's how I'm confused. I'm confused because of things like that. You had no idea you were flying out to California. Yeah, I've got a lot of things going on that I don't have a firm grasp on at all. You're just kind of on along for the ride at the moment? Yeah, I'm along for my own ride, which is really not a very good position to be in.

I should probably be, like, steering the car or something. But you can print that at Spin Magazine. We will. We'll contact Spin. And you have to know that I was talking to Chris when I said that. I don't know. Are you going to sell this? Do you know people? Can we, like, split the profit? No one's going to buy. What? Fuck. It actually costs us money to produce the show. Really? You owe us, like, $17.50. We're just, we're letting you know. I mean, anytime, I mean, we're not saying right now, but next two hours, if you could get us that money, that'd be good. We'd appreciate that. We'll see what we can do. All right. Fuck is this guy. We can start a fund. Who the fuck is this guy?

All right, so take a quick little break from the insanity of Bomb the Music Industry interview. Remember, stay tuned, listen at the end, where we will be giving away a copy of Get Warmer on CD and picture disc to one lucky winner, so you definitely, definitely, definitely want to learn how to enter for that. Before we go back to the interview, we're going to play another track off Get Warmer. We're going to play Pizza Claws is Coming to Town, and it's about a character like Santa Claws who actually brings pizza and misery to small children. So, childhood obesity and diabetes and such. Enjoy that.

Next question. Bomb Music Industry. I want to ask you guys, actually, you're talking about it, but there have been some pretty big media outlets who have actually wanted to talk to you. Like, I talked to Eric from O Pioneers, and he said that MTV2 actually wanted to talk to you guys. If that's true... Did he make that up? Eric's heard of it, and I haven't. That's not true. It's a lie? Eric's a filthy liar from Texas, so... That much is true. I wouldn't trust anything he says. That's really, like, completely untrue. No? What's the biggest interview you've done? Washington Post. Yeah? That was pretty crazy. That was pretty cool. What did I do? This one. Yeah. Oh, yeah! Right here. I thought you were talking to your mic board.

The alternative for us to interview is, I guess, big. Washington Post is way bigger, though. Rush Limbaugh actually contacted me personally. Oh, yeah. He's really interested in the bass player from Bomb and Music Industry. He really wants to know what my view is on socialized healthcare and 9-11. So, we're done answering the questions? Is that what you're trying to fucking say? I just want to know. I just want to know. Oh, hey, faker mustache. How's your fake mustache going on, you fucking jerk-off? How's your shitty goat beard going? What's up? Goat beard? Pimei.

Are you going for the pimei? I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I'm living in the woods with my life. That's all I'm doing. There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, I don't. You don't. No? Yeah, MTV2 never tried to talk to us. See, I feel like you love it. No one's really trying to talk to us. There was a magazine in South Africa that wanted to talk to us. Really? Really? Yeah, they're called Blunt Magazine. I think we're going to do an interview with them. That's pretty cool. Is that anything like High Times? Is that like the South African equivalent of High Times? No, no, no. In South Africa, Blunt means music. That's not true. That's not true at all. It was believable, though. I almost got you. Well, I guess if Eric says it, it's probably believable.

Right? Why would I believe Eric would lie to me? I had no reason to. Have you met the guy? Did Eric say that I told him that? Or did he say like he heard that? No, Eric was talking. I asked him about the split. And he was like, well, we're trying to do this. And then. Yeah, he's trying to do all kinds of crazy shows. Yeah. He called me up one day on the phone and said, hey, man, we want a giveaway. You guys are going to get a real kick out of this. He's like, not you listening, you, Chris and Neil. And Chris, who entered. I don't think the listeners even. Anyway. They're watching porn. What listeners? What listeners? Eric said. That guy's mom watching porn. Can you guys just take this seriously for a second? No, no.

Proceed. Proceed. Eric called me up and was like, hey, for this split, like we want to have a contest with Alternative Press, I was like, okay, they're like, well, we think we should have an extra song on there that like we write together about Alternative Press magazines. What? And I was like. You already wrote a song about Alternative Press. No, no, no, no, no, no. Like a literal, like, he really said that. He's like, we can write a song together about AP and how it's silly. And I was just like, Eric, what the fuck is wrong with you? And Eric, I'm sorry for saying that on an interview, but you really should have thought about that. Hey, guys, let's write a song about Alternative Press right now. Good one, Neil.

It wouldn't take too much effort, really. I mean, it would require reading an Alternative Press magazine. Under oath on the cover.

Inside is an interview with Fallout Boy. We're doing an interview for a podcast. It's like MP3s, but like. Slowly working their way to the radio. All right. You put it in a pod. You run it through. It's awesome. Or like the moving pod, right? All right. Like on your lawn. He's really trying to get this interview. He's pounding on it. I don't want to stop him, though, because it's not like I have a whole shit ton of really good questions. So. I was going to say. All right. What's the next one? So.

Oh, God. Next question. Oh, Jesus. Athens, Georgia. You moved there during. Now, that was before you started this album? Yeah. Now, do you still live there? Or did you move? No, I just moved back. You just moved back? Well, I mean, I don't live in Georgia anymore. I'm living on my friend's futon in New York for a little while. And, yeah, the Get Warmer album was basically, like, the whole thing was written in Georgia the whole time I was down there. And I'll throw it off because of the fucking, I got nothing. Yeah, you've been in your crate. Long day in the car. You're just a little. Long day in the car. Yeah. Just a little discombobulated. Georgia. Now, why did you move to Georgia? Everyone in New York was shitting.

And I was like, I'm done with you guys shitting. And so I moved to Georgia. And it was fun for a while. And then it got really annoying for a while. And then it was really, really fun. And then I left because I already decided to leave. But, yeah, that was basically, like, I kind of moved out there to play with people, to write a record. I wanted to write a record that was removed from New York. I got to do that. And it was fun for me. It was because I moved out of the apartment. That's why you moved. You buy the record on asiamanrecords.com. It's available for $8. It was a very menial charge for shipping. But people waited too long. We're not talking about the fucking past, Richard. Live in the now. I'm glad you liked that, Chris.

That was nice. I'm sorry.

Prime opportunity for another question. All right. Yeah, now that we've kind of... That one was really bad. Did I not answer that one well? My question? Yeah, because I started answering it. No, his answer. Not your question. Well, now that you mention it. A little bit of both. Thanks for that beer, by the way. That was tasty brew. They're just going to keep bringing that back and like... That was a tasty brew. Terrible. Terrible question. That wasn't actually me trying it. Now there's a Petco. Terrible questions. Great beer. By the way. All right. All right. Let me in. Hold on. Are you... They're disgusting. I haven't really figured that we're talking about it. We can gut this. We'll let them do this. Maybe not.

We could just start talking about stuff that I'm involved in. What are you... I already talked about ClarkandMichael.com. Oh, Chardo Ghetto. Well, I wasn't going to say... I was actually going to say my... Is that all right? My light work in activism. My light work in activism. Can we talk about causes? Is that all right? Yeah, let's talk about causes. Because I really think that Pluto needs to still be considered a planet. Oh, well, that's... I was leading into that. I was leading into that. I was very upset with... I know that, like, yeah, large star, whatever. But, like... Well, you know what, I just... It's part of our solar system. I just don't understand what they need. It's just a base of your confusion. Well, let's just add another planet.

We're just trying to add a little break. Let's... Instead of taking it away, let's add to this. Let's create. Yeah, what's up? Why can't there be more planets? That's what I've been trying to tell these guys, you know? Worst interview ever. No. No. Believe me. It's probably better than any other interview they ever did. You know what I'm saying? I only say that because Buck 09 is up on the top of the balcony staring at us with these, like, disapproving frowns, like... He just waved there. He's not disapproving. That was it. Those are... I'm reading into the looks, and I'm reading, like, this is your interview, really? You're interviewing about... They're smiling, and they're looking at us, actually. Pluto right now, really?

Buck 09, sustain, available August 7th, 2007. Disdain. Isn't it after August 7th? Yeah. No, that's when it comes out, August 7th, right? August 7th. Wow. Light up now. Got it. Last question. Last question. Wow, last question. There it comes. One, two, three, go. Time. We're short. We didn't answer any questions seriously or say anything about the band. That would pretty well answer. Doesn't matter. Two questions. But that's what keeps Bond the music industry unique. All right. Yeah. I'm waiting. You have a prime opportunity now. Go. All right. We're running out of tape, man. This one only pertains to Jeff, so I feel bad. I don't want this to be the last one. But I want to ask about quote-unquote records, first of all. So, now, I imagine that came about kind of the similar mindset of the music industry.

Do people actually donate compared to what's downloaded? Or does it barely kind of? Well, we don't spend much money. Matt Curry's album costs 200 bucks. The ride before album costs 200 bucks, and the body of the music industry album costs about... Like, we quote-unquote paid $300 for the body of the music industry album. Asia Band paid, like, three or four hundred for a master or something. Actually, quote-unquote paid $600 for the body of the music industry album. But, like... So, we see where all the money goes, right? Yeah. I mean, it all goes back into it. But we don't spend that much money, and, like, there are a lot more downloads of people donating. But, like, it evens out. Like, it works out because we don't spend that much money, and we only spend the money that's in there.

Like, we never make a plan to have a lot of money. Yeah, there's not, like, the marketing plan. No, it's just, like, if there's 200 bucks, it's like, all right, I can pay 200 bucks for Matt Curry's to go record. You know? Rather than the other way around, where it's like, all right, let's pay this money out of nowhere and hope to recoup it. You know? Like, I'm surprised anybody donates, and I'm glad that, like, I get to pay Joel Hatstatt some money to report stuff. Because he's a really good guy. Laser dollars. Into the circle, you know? It all goes back into us. Everybody we work with are really nice, and we're glad to be able to give that money for the donations, you know? Oh, that's pretty, now, is it, like, do you guys kind of plan releases as you get money in?

Like, it's like, once you have, like, $400, you're like, all right, we can put out a release by this band? Or is it kind of like, you talk to them beforehand, and you're like, once we save the money, we'll put your stuff out? It's kind of more of a friendship thing. Yeah. Like, it's just, like, he put out our record, and he dug it. I mean, Chodo Ghetto, and I gave him our record, and he liked it, and there you go. There you go. Yeah, it's just, like, we work with our friends, and our friends are recording stuff, and we're recording stuff, and we all pretty much do stuff. You recorded at home, right? Yeah, at school. Yeah, at our school. At school, but you recorded it pretty much free. Yeah, we just paid for mastering.

What school? Yale.

Little university, perhaps you've heard of it. It's called Harvard College. It's called University of Harvard College. It's called SUNY Harvard. University of Harvard. Yeah, University of Hard Knocks. Where's Harvard? Actually, it's Loyal and Marymount. I hope to get some tuition back from saying that. I think my mom went to it. Loyal and Marymount University in California? No. That's fine. I messed up. She went to Monmouth. Wow. I can see how you could get that. We have a OU in it. Yeah. And a T. Wait. Where's Loyal? I know I've... It's right by LAX. Oh, it's right by... Oh, yeah. That's the one that's like, if you take a left turn, you kind of go to like Crenshaw Boulevard. Yeah, it's really close to that area. Yeah.

I did that once. Not so much fun. I think we were there and we had a good time. But, yeah, I guess to answer your question, like, it really... We never planned to have money. We always just planned stuff on our friends and shit. Like, I guess the only band was The Riot before, who we didn't really know if we were ever working with them. We just liked them a lot. Yeah. And I was like, hey, this is what we could do. I could give you some money and put you in the studio and whatever. And it's not that much money.

Punk up. We just pressed record and let it happen. Is there one more question? Punk up. There should be. And I got to think, because I got to make this one count. This is the big... This is for all the donuts. The big shasta. There's only one way to do this and not totally fuck it up. And you guys each have to answer individually. What would be the one question you actually wish I asked during the course of this interview? That you actually, you were like, I'd really like to tell people about this. Would you like $10,000? $10,000 and a place to live. Is that the last question? Would you like $10,000? That's the question I would like to ask me and I would say yes. The answer to this question is actually another question.

Oh. Oh, fuck. All right. Well, that's mine. Yeah, you already answered. You would have liked that. All right. You have to go second. I haven't thought of one yet. Well, I mean, that's the point, though. It's like off the cuff. You've got to be prepared. You think this is easy, what I do? I'm not saying that. I would like to stress that we don't practice. I think the question that I would very much like to be asked would be which No Means No record I think is by far superior, which I'm going to go ahead and say wrong, hands down, would be my favorite No Means No record. See, but No Means No would say They Call Me Mr. Happy. Really? Well, that's a good album, too. Why Do They Call Me Mr. Happy is really good. But, yeah, so the question I think you should ask me is about No Means No.

I'll remember that the next time. Thank you. That's for the Canadian subdivision of Sound Scene Revolution to ask. We have a couple, yeah. Wow. We have a Canadian branch. Dude, dude, dude. Maki's calling me from KXL. Really on pro. Whoa, I'm sorry. What question would I like to be asked? Do you speak Navajo? Do you speak Navajo? Is that really the last question? I don't know. I guess we're just, like, we're just dudes doing stuff. Sometimes boys and girls doing things. Right now it's all boys, but sometimes boys and girls. I've got to throw that in because that's very important. Yeah. Katie Watkins would be very proud of you right now. Did that not sound condescending? No, Katie Watkins would be very proud of you.

Okay. So we're just, we don't have anything really important to say. We just enjoy life and enjoy hanging out with each other. So, I don't know. I think if there's anything. Just one of those guys that's really good. There's no question that we're, like, waiting to, like, be asked. Like, man, I hope they ask us about the donations and the punkness. If there's anything to get out of this interview is that we're just ridiculous dudes just having fun. Yeah, why not? Except for me. I'm really not having too much fun. I'm a, yeah, wrapping it up. Is there anything you guys want to plug, website, Joe CDs, all that? Go to Wikipedia and type in vocal warm-ups and, like, really, it's going to help you out. I swear.

I thought it was dumb and I was wrong, wrong, wrong. The Shemps. Everybody listen to The Shemps. Are you still in The Shemps? I guess I'm still in The Shemps. I haven't played with them in about a year. But myspace.com slash The Shemps. Best band ever. There you go.

YouTube and you put in Clarence Clemens, you'll find this really amazing video he did with Jackson Brown. I swear to God, it's Clarence Clemens and Jackson Brown. Watch it and then go to the new Choto Geto website that should be up next week and post something about it. And the Choto Geto website was made by MediaFrenzyDesign.net. And you could see it on a Macintosh computer or an IBM.

We'd really like to plug Coca-Cola. They've been really good to us in this tour. I don't know if any of you have worn Nike sneakers. Also, Sony Records. We'd really like to plug. Sorni Records. Sorni. Sorni? Holy shit, we just started a record label called Sorni. That's such a better name than quote unquote. Fuck. It's too late now. I got it. Too late now. I've already registered the name.

I want to thank you guys for taking the time. Thank you, Rich. Thank you for the interview. Thank you for the beer. All the best.

All right. So that wraps up the interview for this week. Hope you enjoyed it. I had a great time. Sound Guy and Airman had a good time. Jeff from Bomb the Music Industry. Not such a good time. But we appreciate him speaking with us nonetheless. Oh yeah, contest. We have a contest this week for a CD and a copy of Get Warmer on Picture Discs. So it's a Get Warmer CD, the official Asian Man release, and the official Get Warmer Picture Disc. One of 500. So you definitely want one of these because when these guys get all famous and they're all on MTV and shit, you could sell it on eBay out of disgust for the band who sold out. All right. Well, I'm taking apart the microphone as we speak. Anyhow, so... Oh, Sound Guy and Airman's phone just rang.

Totally professional. So, to enter the contest, what you're going to do, send us an email to soundscenerevolution at gmail.com and in this email, this is a very special contest because Bomb the Music Industry is subversive and because we have 500 of these Picture Discs all together. So you really, really want to earn this shit. To get the free Picture Disc, what you're going to do is we use a Gmail account. It's soundscenerevolution at gmail.com. We want you to try and send us the email that is the most spam-like email that you could generate. Misspell words, put things like, oh, free home mortgage in it, blah, blah, blah. If your email contains all your pertinent information and it gets through our spam filters, regular Gmail spam filters, nothing fancy, we are going to take the most spam-like message that made it through our spam filters and they're going to win the Picture Disc.

So you want to try and make it real spammy but not too spammy that it gets caught up in the filter. It's a little bit like that walk-the-line shit like in Indiana Jones. Yeah, you know, where Indiana Jones had to make that spam email to get the Jesus Cup. It's in the movie, trust me. So, you're going to want to watch it and enter the contest. So, remember, send it to soundscenerevolution at gmail.com. Try to make it spammy, not too spammy that it gets caught up in the spam filter. Most spam-like email wins. The others will just get cans of spam. We'll send that through the internet. We can do that. So, we're going to be out for a couple of weeks, maybe a month, maybe more, I don't know. Soundgarden Airmen and I are going to Rhode Island and Minneapolis and all those states that like gay people marry.

Canada. And we're just going to have a gay romp. We're going to marry all sorts of dudes. I'm hoping to marry like eight or nine. Soundgarden Airmen's hoping to marry like a dozen. And then we're going to file for all sorts of fucking tax fraud under some gay marriage tax fraud code. And so, basically, when we come back, I'm going to divorce nine different gay men and take half of their money. So, I should be financially set for the next couple of years. We'll let you know how that goes upon our return. Either that or I will just be horribly reamed in the ass. Which will make for great radio podcasting. That's it. We leave you guys. End of the contest. We'll see you probably October earliest. And then October, we're going to the fest for a week.

So, we'll be there. So, you can find me. We'll have microphones and a little setup. And you can be like, I hate you. I saw you on the internet. And you said something I don't agree about. And it made me angry. Oh, and now it's time to feel my old-timey internet rage. And at which point, I'll probably laugh hysterically at you. And then you'll go back home and live in your mother's basement, masturbating furiously to your sister who showers in the bathroom next door. And you got a little peephole drilled into the wall. So, dig that. Good luck on that one. We'll see you guys at the fest. Otherwise, we'll catch you guys in maybe another month when we come back. Enjoy. And, uh, salute. Oh, yeah. Song. We're going to be playing, uh, I didn't write the song nut.

That's why I don't remember. It's, uh, I believe it's Never Trust a Man Without a Horribly Embarrassing Secret. That's the name of the song, I think. It's really long. But, uh, so, enjoy that. And we'll see you guys in a couple of months sometime. Um, enjoy Labor Day. Enjoy the start of the school year. Um, happy memorial for September 11th. All those things we're going to miss while we're out. Um, maybe Halloween. Happy Halloween, too. I'm going to be a robot. We'll see you guys. Enjoy. Bye. It was 50 to
