Interview with Olehole - Podcast 99

Hey, this is Dan Thrax from Holy Holy, and you're listening to Sound Scene Revolution. Nobody rocks like Sound Scene Revolution!

♪ music ♪

I've kind of combined that entire first phrase of thanks for tuning in, too, into like one word now. So it's all kind of compact, so I'm sorry about that. I'll try to enunciate it a little clearer for everybody who is just listening for the first time. This week, we're back. This is like our third week in a row. We're really, really going to try and bust ass to keep this going. But if we don't, it's Sound Guy Nairman's fault, not mine. He's totally slacking off. Actually, coming up in the next few weeks, we'll probably have a Warped Tour show, and so that'll just fucking roll us through the next like eight months. We'll have a dozen interviews with bands no one cares about. Thanks, Kevin Lyman. So this week, we sat down with a Bay Area local band, Olay Olay, which, if you're curious, they pronounce it Olay Olay, I guess.

But it's basically O-L-E-H-O-L-E. So it's really difficult to spell and really weird to pronounce. And that's what you do, I guess, if you're out of the East Bay. Okay, really good band, really good bunch of dudes. We got this interview done the same night that we did the Anchor Down interview during the Black President show at the Parkside in San Francisco. And apparently, Black President does not actually have a black dude in the band at all, which is a little racist, guys. A little racist. Tiny racist. But Olay Olay, really good guys, really fun group of people, minus the fact that the other guitar player, not Brian Moss, but Jackson, was totally trashed. And kept grabbing at my notebook, which literally had nothing in it but binder paper, but he kept wanting to see it.

So he saw it, and I don't know. I hope he's happy about that. Anyhow, they're good guys. Great interview, I think, because I'm good. What'd I do? Check it out. We don't have any contests, I think, this week. We got another couple of weeks of the Anchor Down contest, if you want to listen to that interview on how to enter. Lucas from Anchor Down actually said he's going to send us some more shit to give away, so you'll get more than his t-shirt and CD. I don't know what that is yet, but when it gets here, I'll make that big announcement and blow your mind. So enjoy the interview, enjoy the songs. We're going to play a track right now off of Ole Ole's debut LP, which is called Holy Moly. Enjoy it, and then we'll get into the interview.

All right.

♪ song played ♪

if you guys want to say hello.

Hi. What do you do? Maybe introduce yourselves, kind of differentiate who's who. I'm Dan Thrax, and I play bass and swing things around. I'm Ian. I play drums. I'm good as a drummer, but not as a person.

I'm Brian, and I play didgeridoo. Didgeridoo. Didgeridoo. I'm Jackson. I play guitar. What is he? I play two phasers. Tundertone. It's a very versatile band you guys got going here. I appreciate that. So I guess the easiest way to start is, is there like a history of the band, unofficial or otherwise?

Well, Jackson and Dan and I have known each other for, what, over a decade. Over a decade, for sure. We kind of grew up in the same circle in different bands and became friends during our formative age.

Jackson and I, we played in a band together in high school. I wrote for Brian's old band when I was 17, 18. We've all known each other for forever. It just kind of made sense when Brian came back from Chicago that, you know, the band I was playing in had just broken up. Jackson just moved back here from L.A., from recording school. Ian has known us through the Santa Rosa music scene, basically. For those that aren't familiar, about an hour north of the Bay Area, and that's where you grew up. Yeah. You grew up in Santa Rosa? It's like heaven. If you picture heaven. I used to go see this dude's band all the time. Yeah? In the beginning. In the beginning. In California. Good shit. Clothes ice creamery. Clothes ice creamery.

The Clothes Zone is what it's called. The Clothes Cafe. Are these places in Santa Rosa? These are old fleeting venues in Santa Rosa. Really? It's one of those places where there's always been a, I think there's always been a vibrant music scene up there. There's something in the water, dude. Yeah. There's just, you know, the whole thing of if you don't have the money to open a legit venue, then the ones that throw kind of DIY shows, whether it's an ice creamery or a hotel or a bar, they get shut down. So, but, you know, some of them lasted for a while and it was fun. But that's how I know Ian. The Phoenix lasted for a while. The Phoenix. I'm still there. Up in Petaluma? Great place. Yeah. Remember that Jeff Ott song about that?

That 15th song? No. At the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma? He had a Phoenix song? He gives it a shout out. That's awesome. Jeff Ott had a song about almost everything. Everything. At some point in time. Yeah. Anything that came into his head got a song at some point. He definitely had a song about how to shoot heroin cleanly with bleach and water. Yeah. He taught me a few things I didn't know. Yeah. He taught me a lot of things in my youth. Play lessons. Things you don't learn in the 9 to 5. So, about heroin. About needle exchange. Talking about needle exchange here. That's something I have no experience in. So, I'm blank slate on that. But I appreciate it. I wish that you could see laughing faces in an audio only interview.

Because I'm laughing right now. We had them in clothes. Yeah. Okay. We had pictures. I've just got mics in my face. Emoticons. Yeah. It's like cocks coming at me from both sides. I don't know what to do, but at the same time, I totally know what to do.

I'm the chin, dude. Come on. He's getting like Mike Bukaki over there. Just the tip, Dan. Just a little game. Just the tip.

Band-wise, you guys have been through a number of different drummers. Just one. How many? Well, you've had people fill in, right? Yeah. We went out to Gainesville. You guys were there, yeah? Yeah. And to Chicago right after that. That's correct. And our drummer couldn't do it, so our friend Neil filled in. Yeah, five shows. That was amazing. In three days? Three days, yeah. We showed up in Florida and hopped on this last-minute show on, I think it was the Thursday night. It was the day before our best show. And Neil, well, I guess I'll just speak for myself, but he played, having never played with us, just learning the songs off the record, put me to bed, basically. We had all also been drinking since we got off the plane three hours before that.

I was pretty much there with him the whole time, speaking for myself. I was a bottle deep in the whiskey. It was like the scene from Days of Confuse, the water tower, the party at the moon tower scene, the beer bus. Beer bus at the moon tower. It was rad. I have no idea what's going on. So, yeah, Neil filled in, and then Ian came in with a saving grace. Actually, I think what robed him in finally was me being drunk as shit at the fest, and weed, and weed, and weed, cradling him in my arms and convincing him that he drops in my hand. Is that what the decision came to? It was gently coerced. It's very, very comforting. Those nights were a hot mess. You like computers, Dan? Nerd. What? It was an inside joke. And I was going to say, I'm like, I hope that's something that not everyone gets, and I'm just like, what?

As long as it's just between the two of you. It was between Dan and a lot of unsuspecting victims. A lot of them had beer spit in their eyes. I feel almost bad about it, but not so much. Now, the fest, you were wearing a unitard at the fest? Was that this year or last year? That was the year before. That was six? He's been doing this for at least a decade. That wasn't Dan Threx, though. That was Chongo. That's Chongo. That's a whole different dude. It's an alter ego. That's a whole different dude. Dan's schizophrenic. Ah. That's good to know. He's not schizophrenic. He's schizophrenic. It's kind of like Frank the Tank. Same thing. Same thing. I once watched him in a unitard in Chicago at a backyard party put a dude in a Boston crab, which maybe you should explain that wrestling move.

It's a Boston crab. A Boston crab. It's a leg lock. Basically, if somebody is lying on the ground face up with their legs towards you, you pick up both their legs between under your arms and gently step over them and twist them over under their front while bending their legs backwards, sitting in a crab-like position. Sort of like hyperextend the back kind of thing. I like that you gently step over their back before you try to hyperextend it. It was well and fun that night. No, that guy barked at me and then tried to strangle me. He got really angry. Everyone else is just wrestling and having a good time. I wasn't even trying to wrestle. I was just trying to have a good time. This dude challenged me a wrestling match.

And he wanted to fight you, but once you had him in the Boston crab, there was no way he could fight you. He was all butthurt that he lost. He tried to come at me after I submitted him. He tapped out. And then he barked at you? Then he got up and tried to strangle me. And I got him in a sleeper hold and he started barfing on my arm. Oh, that's disgusting, man. That is really not cool. I think that's how every wrestling match would end. I'd watch the WWE all the time if that's how it works. Motherfuckers be barfing.

Are we allowed to swear? Yeah, yeah. It's the internet. And no one listens. Does the internet allow that? Yeah. Wow. FCC doesn't come out. You learn something new every day. No one cares about the internet. I care about the internet. That's why there's donkey porn. If we spell it all cute, no one will notice, right? What? Like a text message? 40 manatees on the internet. It's a few KZ, dude. It's fucks. Oh, fucks. What? Boston Crab Hold? What is it called? It's the Boston Crab. That's fucking amazing. Can you teach me that, Ryder? I can't teach you that. Thank you. Not, of course. Just show me how it's done. I can do it to Jackson. I'll watch. Just the tip. I can do it in a similar question. Just the tip. You can't teach someone the Boston Crab.

You have to experience it. That's really how it goes. All right. So, to music, I guess we should talk about. There's nothing in there. It's all blank. It's all words in there. No, it's all blank. Believe me. I try to make notes to ask questions. You took it away. No, no. For real? It's like a journal. No, no. For real. There's like, that's where I was going to write questions, and then I didn't. I'm not going to. I'm wearing a blank slate. Yeah, a little bit. I got lazy, and I apologize. That's going to come across, if you haven't figured it out yet. I'm having fun. I appreciate that. I'm having an okay time myself. Thank you. So, on to music. You guys have a full length out on Underground Communique Records. How did you guys get together with Justin on that one?

Well, Justin, who runs Underground Communique. I've known Justin for years. I met him when I was living in Chicago at the Fireside. God rest its soul. Another close name. He's an amazing person, incredibly positive and kind. We got along really well. I think, like, maybe about a year before I left Chicago, he kind of started putting that label together, and it kind of got off the ground once I was back in the Bay Area, and it just seemed to make sense, you know, like, right up at least my alley, and I think that everyone else agreed on that. Yeah. I agree. I think Jackson just spilled ice all over his pants. He did. He did miss me. Sorry. Not trying to interrupt. So, yeah, because he hadn't even seen you. I think the first time he'd seen you play live was at the fest, right?

Yeah. Wow. So, he just, did you, like, approach him? You were like, hey, we got this band we're doing? We sent him the demos. We heard demos, yeah. And he was just like, yeah. Yeah. That's pretty awesome. He was really supportive of a lot of bands in Chicago, and he ran this radio show at WLUW in Chicago, which is Loyola's college station up there, and one of my old bands, like, played on it a bunch, and he's just generally, like, a really supportive person, not only of what I was doing, but just the whole local music community up there. Yeah, yeah. So. That's a pretty good label, so, I mean. Yeah. Not a bad place to be. It's nice to be on a record label where you actually like the majority of the bands. Yeah. Well, the more I hear from bands, like, we were just talking to Anchor Down about it, it means a lot, I guess, if the label actually cares.

Like, there's a ton of labels that'll put out your record, and, you know, they'll pay to get it done, but to be on a label where someone actually seems to care, it's harder to find, and it seems to account for quite a bit, so. It's a rarity, for sure. Yeah, and Justin definitely seems to have that about him, so. That's very cool. Do you guys have anything else in the works at the moment? That you're working on? Recording music-wise?

We're just working on. Did he catch that?

Yeah. We're going to do a couple seven inches.

I think we're going to do. Yeah, you guys played a new one tonight, didn't you? Yeah, one new one, yeah. What one was that? Is there a name for it? It's a stony jam. No, there's no name for it yet. It's just a stony jam. It's the CC. It's a stoner jam. It's the Dead Meadow ripoff song, basically. It sounds exactly like fucking Dead Meadow. They're playing soon. I think it's something. There you are. I'm going to smoke so much weed. It's weed fast, huh? I'll smoke in Dead Meadow. I mean, it's just going to be the loudest. Bring some earplugs, man. Bring some earplugs. And a bunch of weed. I think he already had that covered, from what I could tell. The weed part? Yeah. He seemed to have that one in the bag. We're a stoner band.

I'm not a stoner band. It's not a stoner band. I'm not a stoner band. That shit makes me crazy. One half. Sometimes. I'm a stoner band. One half a stoner band? Yeah. Good enough. No worries on that. So, you said you're working on a couple 7 inches? I think we're going to do a couple 7 inches, and we've been talking about doing a cassette. A cassette? Some kind of tape series. Seriously? Yeah. Mixed tape. Want some? The sound guy in Airman said something, and then he didn't want the mic. Wait, what was that? Our friend Brady, who's actually sitting directly to my right right now, is going to put out a split 7 inch with us and our friends joining with our anchors. Oh, yeah? Did you know about a split 7 inch? Yeah, it was their record release tonight.

They're an amazing, amazing band. Yeah? All right, girl. I'll check that out. I think we were actually... He's got a label called Brick Gun going. That he stole. He stole that name from Dan and Jackson. Brick Gun. Brick Gun? He took the name from you guys? Think about it. We bought a van for our old band, and our intention. My intention was to re-outfit the entire shotgun seat, the passenger seat in the front, to be a turret with a brick gun. And I was thinking... That would fire bricks? I was thinking of Dan and I, with the pizza gun. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, it'd shoot bricks. And we're thinking, like, we can get, like, an air compressor, and maybe put some sort of, like, sealant slash lubricant around the brick, like, petroleum jelly or something, into a kind of squared tube, and just build up the pressure real high, open the chamber, and just shoot a fucking brick at it.

Because if you get hit with a brick, it's kind of... Has this idea ever occurred yet? Because I think it should happen. It's a record label now, mainly. But is a record label really as good as an actual brick gun? Well, when you step into the office, like, you know, Brady... Come here. I feel like when Brady invites people into the office, because there's definitely a brick gun office, when you come in, you're like, oh, invite this journalist in, he wants some free swag, he wants some stickers and some merchandise. Pow! And then what's up? There's a brick in your nuts. Just right in the stomach, or the dick, whatever. I'll remember not to ask him for free stuff. Never come to the brick gun office, dude. It's basically an ignition-less, high-powered potato cannon, but it shoots bricks.

But it shoots bricks. That's the key difference. Basically, Brady makes, like, Suge Knight look like Richard Simmons. Like, you don't really want to come into the brick gun office. That's not where you fuck around. That shit's hard, son. Don't worry, Suge Knight listens to this show. He writes in a lot. He's a big fan. I'll call him out right now. What's up, Suge? I like Suge. I think, is any in jail right now? Yeah, I like Suge. I love that guy. He's my fucking hero. Isn't he in jail, though? It's in peace. No, I think he's doing good. Is he?

Well, besides that, I think he's doing good. Besides being broke, he's doing pretty well. He has his health. For himself. All right, so we're going to take a quick break from the interview, kind of break things up. The interview runs a little bit long, but I think I have as much to do with that as anything. A little segue here. We get apologized to more often than it's got to be any show in the history of music. Everybody at the end of the show is like, excuse me. They're like, I'm really sorry if I rambled on. I felt really bad. I hope it doesn't suck. And it's really like, I don't know if it means we're terrible or if we just let bands talk. And in most interviews, they don't get the opportunity to talk.

But regardless, I don't know. I enjoy it. I like doing it. So if it sucks, apparently we're the only people that do this. And so it's our fault. Sorry. But we're going to bust out with another track from Ole Jolay's debut LP, Holy Moly, available on Underground Communique Records on 12-inch vinyl featuring a CD. I think you can get it on iTunes and shit too if you're still in a just digital only. But yeah, we're going to do that. We're going to wrap up the interview. And that should do it. So keep listening.

Other than a couple of 7-inches, are you guys going to be doing any touring coming up? Anything of that nature? Well, with his economy. What is Dan texting in the middle of the interview? I'm sorry. I'm being a dick right now. No, it's okay. I just feel bad. Like I'm boring you. I don't want to. I don't want to. This is how I feel all the time. I live with him. Does he do this in the middle of your conversations? All the time. You're talking to him. He's like, hold on. I just, I have this to do. Yeah. It's okay. I'm. It's all right. Don't worry. We're not that good. I understand. If this was radio, that wouldn't have happened. Yes, it would have. Or a magazine interview. I don't know. Speaking of which, you guys are an amp.

I haven't even seen that yet. Is that an imprint yet? I don't know. I don't know. Is it? Someone talked about it. They were really. I think it was Justin. He was really stoked on it. It's like. What's the other one? Alternative Press? Yeah, it's like. A little bit. It's a magazine. It's a magazine, right? And they have. They have bands. Bands. I think it's black and white still. With iron hair. No, it's not. No? No. Ever since they stopped giving it away. I think it's glossy. Can I say that again? Glossy. It's all gloss. I feel a little awkward when you say that. Glossy. Glossy. I think in a good way. All right. But no, ever since they stopped giving it away and you had to buy it, I'm cheap like that. That was a fun interview.

Yeah? Better than this one? No, this is way more fun. Yeah? I like talking in person better than I do. It's fine in an interview. Oh, was it an email? Versus email. Yeah, it was an email. Just write it out. I don't like email interviews. It does not translate well to audio. It's not time to think about shit, yeah. We might go to Europe, though. I don't know. That's it. You're thinking about it? We'd really like to tour. Have you ever been to Seattle? I'm assuming with previous bands. I have been, yeah. And Dan's been. And Ian, you've been too, right? Where? Europe? Yeah. I'm not going. No? Too much water. Between here and there or in Europe in general? Well, I don't know. Do they get a lot of water in Europe?

Jackson and I have had this conversation. Sometimes I'm like, hey, man, how do you feel about going to Europe? He's like, no, not really so much. How do you feel about playing a dive bar in Topeka, Kansas? Yes. Yes, absolutely. That's where it's at. Oh, it's always more fun in Topeka. Yeah, Topeka, Kansas. I think the only time I've been to Topeka was with you, and we hung out with a snake named Smoke Dick. What? Smoke Dick? It was a fucking, it was a, it was a, it was like a Burmese Python named... It was a Python of sorts, yeah. What? These dudes gave us a beer ball one day. It was great. He's talking about my dick, by the way. It was a snake named Smoke Dick. Oh, wait, a snake? It was a, it was a Burmese Python named Smoke Dick.

Named Smoke Dick. And you hung out with it? We hung out, we hung out with it at these dudes' house. Yeah, right. You were chilling with it. They owned a strip club. Wasn't it good? Yeah, right. I like the gym. Next to the fucking jail called the fuck, yeah, right. It's called Jailbait. No, it wasn't. These are facts. These are hard facts. This was in Topeka? Yeah. This is in Topeka. There's a, there's a dude that lived in the house that played sitar. Right. And fucking hung out with a snake and smoked dirt weed. Can we please go there now? Please? That sounds like the most magical place ever. Why are you not there at this moment? Hold on. This is like the funnest thing ever. Yeah. I would never leave if I wasn't there.

Hi, and the mic. Julia from New Trust. Um, Jason and Anna just pulled a mic into a photo booth picture. Oh, that's really cool. That's awesome. Oh, that's right. He is here today. That rules. Hmm? Hey. What does it say? This is a blueprint where we did some of these. We do my voice. We edit my voice. Oh, you mapped out your photo booth? Other than that, totally, we just run it. Can I go ahead and text my girlfriend? Yeah. I don't think it's going to get any worse. There's nothing, nothing to lose at this point. That's pretty much my whole deal. Julia Lauren Lanter. We've been talking for 20 minutes. Yeah. Wow. Where does the time go? So, Dan has texted. Brian is texting. Sound Guy Nehrman is now texting. Welcome to 2009.

I know. Rich, I'm doing edit notes. Uh-huh. Are you sending edit notes to your mom? Because that's who you're texting right now. Are you texting my mom? Let me use your drums. That's hot. Tell her I never got that birthday gift. All right. What's next? Who is that? Yeah, what's next on your sheet with no questions? Let's see here. That's it. Ask them what instruments they play. Do you guys have instruments? I'm Ian. I play... What is this? It's really holy and then just a blank page. Bam. No, because I was going to write notes in the car. That's it. But I got busy. I have a life. My life doesn't revive... A life or a life? Both. Hey-oh. My life doesn't revolve around you. I have things to do. Holy shit. All right. So... What will the determining factor be on if you make it to Europe?

See, I held that. What is it? The determining factor? The determining factor on if you make it to Europe. Money. Someone booking a tour over there. So if they're a European bookers? Well, go-kart. Our record actually just came out this past week in Europe on go-kart. Are they better in go-kart than they are in America? Probably not. That's a bummer. I don't know. That sucks for you. I can say that because I'm not in a man. You have to like him. But, uh... What? Is it doing that thing? Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, does it do feedback? The phone causes feedback? Anyhow. So... Throw your phone out. It was Dan. Throw it. Everyone, throw your phone. Let's do cell phone bombs. Throw them in the beer and pound it. That's how he wants to get muscle when I dropped it in a beer.

That's the best way to go. Especially with a lithium battery. It's totally the best buzz you'll get. So, guys, this is the worst interview you've ever done? No, no. No? No. What about you? It sucks. I'm having a fucking great time, honestly. Yeah? See, that's the thing. I'd rather have you guys talk than us. Because I'm really uninteresting. Anyhow. Moving forward. So, it just came out in go-kart. So, we'll see how it goes on that. Yeah. So, they have a strictly European distribution on them? There's a... Yeah, they have a... Their European offices are based out of Germany. Wow. They don't have a brick gun, though, in those offices. There's no brick gun in that office? That's what they fucking need. We'll work on this.

That's going to happen. That's going to be on to Mythbusters now. Brick gun? God help... Oh, God help me. We can make a brick gun. European brick gun? But, uh... It's on. It only works over there. It's a latitude thing. So, uh... I guess we should wrap up here and let you guys continue with your night. Can you tase me with that thing already? Don't tase me, please. I think we could... We keep going. Oh, is Black President getting back on? What other questions do you have? Yeah, how many more? I think I ran... Looking at my blank piece of paper... I feel like I haven't answered anything yet. You should ask a question. How do you feel about Black President? Dude, the Ramones cover was pretty good. The Ramones cover was alright?

It was good. From all the way out of here? I like that. I felt bad. I mean, we're doing the interview, but I felt bad because it looked like a lot of people left when they got on, so... I just wanted to skank. The drummer's good. Yeah? The drummer's alright? It was not bad. Lagwagon. Lagwagon. Oh, the drummer? He first made me gimme gimme's. Dave? He's a good drummer.

He's played in every band ever, I think. Was he in Squirt Gun? No, but I do like... For a week and a half. Squirt Gun was a hell of a... Did you like Sick Up? What was that dude's last... It was Mass something. His last name. That dude records in Illinois. He records all the pop punk bands. Like Lookout shit? Bands that sound like that, but not as good. Well, Squirt Gun was Lookout. They were, yeah. They were a hell of a... But that dude in Squirt Gun... Weren't they on Honest Dawns, too? Yeah, I think maybe for a minute. I know they had a 7-inch on Lookout. Yeah. We should just end the interview on Squirt Gun was great.

Microphone's down. Alright, so I want to thank you guys, though, for taking the time. Thank you. I know you guys had a busy night playing and everything. Do you guys have merchandise out here tonight? No. I was going to say... I'm really bad at that. I was just in Chicago last week and I was hanging out with Justin and the thought, despite the fact that we don't have any records out here right now, it never crossed my mind to ask him, like, hey dude, can you give me a few records? Because I'm a fucking idiot. I was going to say, I was like, you know, I wonder if they have a t-shirt or something and I go out and nothing. If you give me a Sharpie, I can... That's alright. I can draw you a point. I don't have a Sharpie.

People don't wear a t-shirt. I saw a t-shirt, actually, the other day I was at a bar and I saw an Ole Holy shirt and it was that dude right there with the glasses. I got rules. And I was like, see, my dude's wearing a fucking Ole Holy shirt, man. He doesn't even know I'm in the band. Shit. And you're like, guess what? That's me right there. That's my point.

Soon. Yeah, we have buttons on the way. Alright. We have stickers. We have mixtapes. All kinds of decals. Buttflaps. Temporary tattoos. No. Buttflap.com. No, it's temporary tattoos. That's where we actually met. Where? On Buttflap.com. Buttflap.com. Can we agree on the idea that any band that makes panties with logos on it should be annihilated by the Brick Gun immediately? Girls don't deserve underwear with their favorite bands on them? I mean, I like some bands, bro, but I would never, if there was any boxer briefs, you know, if there was like a PJ Harvey boxer brief, chances are I probably wouldn't buy it or wear it. It'd be kind of hot, though, if I did. I don't even know where that came from, really. No, she was coming up.

That name was, it was. It was in the cards? It was pretty hot, too. I just saw her open for whole play. What?

I just saw her. Wait, no, wait. That might have been. It was literally half a decade ago. It might have been some of that. More than much. I kind of just want to think about PJ Harvey and underwear. And boxer briefs? Yeah. Can you make me some PJ Harvey boxer briefs? I would love to wear them. It's our owner party right now. As long as they're unofficial PJ Harvey boxer briefs. Bootleg PJ Harvey boxer briefs. What are those? Oh, those are my bootleg underwear. What? Don't worry about that girl. I bought them at the flea market. San Jose flea market. Best flea market on earth. And a burnt DVD of Home Alone 3.

Hey, what's up? That was a real movie. I know it was. I didn't think it was a real movie. And Home Alone 1 is hella good. We can talk about that for a while if you'd like. Home Alone 2 is hella good, too. I don't think either. That's what made me want to go to New York. And then you saw Home Alone 2 and you're like, it's a magical place. He had so much fun. He took up squatting. I mean, really. That was a John Hughes movie, right? What? Was it? Well, yeah. It's Chicago suburbs. Yeah, so probably. It's like John Hughes. That's amazing. Remember when that dude got hit in the head with the brick? Yeah. That was almost like a brick. Nice. Way to bring it back. Wow.

Micromachines were so fucking rad. Micromachines were one of those, like, toys that, like, the main flaw was highlighted in that movie was like, oh, everybody breaks their fucking neck with micromachines. That was the entire point of having them in that movie. And I was like, wait, that's true. When Macaulay plays the old movie, when the pizza delivery guy comes, that shit is so clutch. Change a filthy animal. It's me, snakes.

If only it really worked that well. I know. I wish it did, man. Fuck. When we were trying to come up with a band name, and our band name is not good by any means. It's atrociously bad. My front runner is actually a Koli Culkin, but nobody was really biting. What? A Koli Culkin. I wanted the Point Break reference for the 50-Year Storm. 50-Year Storm. Ooh. It's a little too serious, though. Yeah, it sounds serious until you realize it's a Point Break reference. Hey, with the 50-Year Storm from Ithaca, New York, I want to see you fuckers move. Sack lunch, dude. Sack lunch. So, where did Ole Ole come from? How was that the last one left on the sheet when you guys were like, no?

They say Boulevard of many women. Many women's? First of all. What avenue? Where? Our old drummer Alex lived on St. Pablo Avenue in Oakland. Let it be a mystery. Never mind, then. All right. Fair enough. You guys can guess. I'll guess. I'll let it go. Can we bless San Pablo? San Pablo? In the Holy Trinity. In the Holy Trinity.

I think I've been shaking my head half this interview. I have no idea. There's something going on. Fucking snacks. Snacks? Pussy and Vengeance. That's the Holy Trinity. Pussy and Vengeance? Snacks. Pussy and Vengeance. I'm pretty sure Brian and Dan have like a telepathic connection going on back here, and they've been talking the entire time. Because I have no idea. A little bit. A little bit. It's like a boy and his dog. That post-apocalyptic dog. Who's the dog, asshole? Who do you think? Me. Okay, Sam, look at motherfuckers.

Dude, not cool. Low blow. Not cool. Can you guys censor that? Funny story, though. Funny story. Can we leave that out? Have you ever seen a boy and his dog, though? Post-apocalyptic earth, the world is a wasteland. And there's a dude with his dog just roaming the fucking, the bathroom. Isn't that I Am Legend? Oh, it's every, every question. Yeah, isn't that The Road? Six-Ring Samurai. Six-Ring Samurai. It's a totally different movie. But it's a dude and his dog, and they have a telepathic link, and they fight off fucking bandits and talk to each other. It's crazy. That sounds awesome. That sounds pretty awesome. Yeah, right. Just because I like dogs. Dude, I think that's a microphone. What kind of dog was it? Oh, wait.

What's the black? That's all you know? Black dog. All right. I'll take it. All right. And on that. That's a great way to end this. You want to wrap it up, don't you? You really want to wrap this one up, huh? I don't know. Hey, before things get racial. Seriously. Before you start talking about the black dog. We're post-racial. All right. I want to thank you guys so much for taking the time and everything. And good luck. Thank you. Everything you guys got going. Vote Obama. Thank you. 2008. All right. So that wraps up our interview with Ole Ole. Thanks a lot to the guys for taking the time. They were really, really awesomely fun guys and a big fan of the band. Their last album or debut album, Holy Moly, was probably one of the best out of 08.

So with that, we actually put episode 99 to bed. And that means next week we will have our 100th episode. As you may have recall, episode 10, if you're a long-time listener, which I don't think, I hope you're not. I feel bad for you if you're a long-time listener. But episode 10 was our last best of show. And so we've compiled 90 new episodes worth of material or 89 episodes worth of new material since then. And so for episode 100, we're actually going to put together another fucking clip show where it'll be like, you remember, all those like perfect strangers. They're trapped in the basement and they're just like, gah, this is just like that one time. And then they do like a star swipe and it's all that shit from old episodes that you've already seen.

But it's comforting. And so we're going to be putting together one of those. If you have any suggestions of things you think would be good to include in that episode, send us an email. Well, that sounds, you got like fucking an hour from the time you hear this. From June 5th to June 6th at 2 p.m. You have, what's today? I think it's June 8th. Is it June 8th? You have to go in the past. But, you know, up to like Thursday or Friday of this week, feel free to submit. And we'll try and get it in there. Chances are, if it's funny, we already know what it is and it won't go in because we have a terrible sense of humor. And it's all going to be really boring shit. It's mostly going to be like me talking and doing those like the running jokes.

If you listen long enough, I say the same jokes in all the interviews. And all the bands think it's funny because it's the first time they've heard it. But for you and Sound Guy Nairman, not so much. Those are the jokes that he always rolls his eyes at. But, so yeah, we're going to do a clip show. Best of. Sound Guy Nairman's going to work on it. I'm going to work on it. He's going to do a lot more of the work than I am. Because that's just how it goes. Because he is an immigrant. So, that's how we treat him. But, so we're really stoked on that. 100 shows. I didn't think we'd ever make it past 40, honestly. It did take us like 9 years to reach 100. But, we did it. So, send us all your congratulatory statements to SoundSceneRevolution at gmail.com At our MySpace.

Remember, oh, hold on. Sound Guy Nairman has something he wants to add. We did it faster than Lost. Oh, yeah. We did it last time. Yeah, that's true. We did beat Lost. Well, that's because Lost also deals with time travel and smoke monsters. Our plot isn't as interesting as Lost either. But, anyhow. Yeah, so send us emails. Contact us. Like I said, the Anchored Down contest is still up and running. I believe the 2 Cow Garage contest is still up and running if you want to listen to that one. And, even if we ended up closing it, you can still enter. And, your odds of winning are just as likely. So, don't worry about that. And, we'll catch you guys all next week. Thanks a lot.
