Hey, Sound Scene Revolution, what's going on? It's our holiday edition, and so we're going to do things a little bit differently. We, for our holiday edition, are bringing you guys a very special treat, something we're really excited on. This year at Fest, in our hotel room, Sound Guy Nairman and I hosted a small acoustic gig featuring PJ Bond, Aaron Scott of Attica Attica, and Tom of the Menzingers, and there were, I don't know, there was a pretty decent amount of people there, but Sound Guy Nairman took the, kind of took the lead and recorded the whole thing, and so for the holiday season, we're going to be playing the entire thing for you guys, front to back. It's only a couple of songs by each artist, but it comes out to, I don't know, around 40 minutes, Sound Guy Nairman was telling me.
So, yeah, that's kind of our gift from us to you. Before we do that, we want to let you know we're wrapping up contests. The Comadre Contest is now closed, and the O Pioneers Contest is now closed. O Pioneers Contest was won by a guy in Jersey, I believe, and I know we always say we don't really care what you write down, but he mentioned Jersey Shores, and he mentioned Guido's, and he mentioned his incredible love of the dick towel, which was in the question, to be fair, but he went above and beyond and said he plans to make his own dick towel, and so he won. We were like, hands down, if you're going to wear a dick towel at the Jersey Shore, you're the winner. That's all there is to it. And then the other guys from LA, and I don't really remember too much about that, but Stephen of Comadre and Bloodtown Records is going to be mailing that out, so if it's late, I'm not to blame.
So we're going to forward your information out. The one contest we have open still is the Cobra Skulls Contest, and then starting in the new year, we have new interviews, and we've got a whole bunch of new contests that are going to be lined up then. All right, so we're not going to be doing any more talking. There's not going to be an outro or anything. I'm going to cut this and get out of here, and enjoy your holiday season and your new year. Enjoy the show. Again, playing in order, it goes PJ Bond, Aaron Scott of Attica Attica, and then Tom of the Menzingers. I hope you guys enjoy it, and feel free to let other people know and share, and we'll catch you guys all next year. Thanks so much. Bye. Hey guys, I don't want to yell, but, uh...
Hey, uh, I'm PJ Bond, and Aaron and I played a bunch of shows, I don't know, what was it, two months ago? Um, yeah, six weeks, with, uh, John and Blake, and I feel really blessed to have been a mini tiny piece of, uh, this awesome project that they're doing that's been biking from Boston to Key West, I believe. Yeah? I hope it's a delicious margarita. Um, I usually play mildly loud songs, but I'm going to try and keep it quiet so that people who are, have been generous enough to have us don't get in trouble, and, uh, I'm also going to try and fight past the many beers that I've been tempering through to not come here completely wasted. I don't believe you, come on, fight it. Anyway, uh, thank you guys so much for, for just being willing to let me kind of play a song or two.
Um, this is, uh, this is a song about a girl that I thought was the one, and she's not, and I don't mean that in a cheesy way, but I mean it in a way that it's, uh, my life is

reasons, but, uh, basically, no, I'm, uh, I'm, uh, no, I'm way old, but, uh, I gave up my, uh, I gave up my house six months ago, and I put my stuff in storage, and I've been homeless on purpose, so home free, or whatever you want to call it, but, uh, I, I basically have been lucky enough to be kept alive by amazing people, and, um, my buddy Mike is in the back right now, and he, he was, he's one of my biggest supporters of just fucking amazing people, and, and Phil and Dave back there, they're the reason I'm here other than Aaron and, and the guys who live here, so, or, sorry, I'm used to playing in basements and houses, who rent, who rent here for the two days, but, uh, yeah, sorry, I'm drunk, um, I was gonna, I was gonna play something a little bit different, but I'm gonna play this, this for Mike, I shouldn't be down at Fest, and I am, and it's because of Mike, so.
Mike, you're better.
This is about a girl that I used to, uh, have relations with. Alright. This is different than the relationship. It's okay. Don't say it. Well, you're skin and bones. You're scaring the neighbors. Is there something wrong? Are you putting too much up your nose? Are you getting too thin for your clothes?

Well, it's such a shame. I hope that you're okay. Are you going home? You know it's been such a long day And I still wanna touch you, you know. But I'm afraid I'd shatter your skull. And I guess that it's fine. They don't seem to notice your friends and your mom. How can they be so careless? Are they the ones I should blame? Are they preparing you for some things? Are they preparing you for some things?

And your corpse will be pristine When they bury you indeed. Give up all your fears. Peel away your face. So we can all. C-O-T. Your teeth. And roll back your eyes and try to smile. Give up all the bad thoughts. So we can try to fall. To fall. Guys, thank you so much. Thank you for listening. I appreciate it. Fastest set time set up ever. Anyway, my name is Aaron. I rode my bike here from Boston. With my friends Blake and John. And it took seven weeks. Pretty good. Anyway, I go under the name Attica Attica. And Rich and Nehrman asked me to come hang out. And keep Justin awake as late as possible. Right? Yeah. That's why I'm playing my super set tonight. 24 songs. All covers. Yes. All covers. Of ten minute minimum songs. Except for the one seven minute small brown bike song.
That they played yesterday. Um. Anyway. I'll uh. This is a song about uh. The Red Roof Inn. I don't know if you know this about most corporate hotels. But like the Holiday Inn. But what they do is they find some really middling mediocre artists. Um. I'm sorry if like your aunt did this. But like. And then they like. I celebrated this for a while. But. Who lives here? And then they buy like a billion of them. And put them in every single room. And uh. I was. I was doing this traveling job. Right. It. Yeah. My impression is it sucks. But they. But whatever. You know. It's art. Anyway. So you go in to every Red Roof Inn. And you've just driven like four hundred miles. And you walk in. And it's the same fucking thing on the wall.
As when you left. And you're like. I have not gone anywhere. And uh. It's sort of about uh. Uh. Just about. There's something about. Everyone like. Wax is sentimental about the fest. Five to ten years younger than they actually are. At least for their favorite few. Fans that they see. And that's enough energy to whip the rest of us up until like. Okay. Eleven years younger. Eleven. Okay. So. Up until now I've never been away. Oh no. They're everywhere baby. Yeah. And they're just as comforting as they are here.

Can someone put water in this for me? How about you? Water. Water. It's late man. Water. It's late man. And a pepperoni one filter. Um. So uh. Can anyone see Tim Berry today? Yes. I know it's. I know it's probably a bad idea to reference someone who's just like. That was like the best. Blake was saying that that's the best acoustic set I think I've ever seen. No offense. Every time I've seen it. No offense. Right. Intense. Yeah. But when there's like. I don't know how many hundred people were there but. You know all loving it so hard. It was real good. Anyway. He was talking about change. And uh. Think about that when we look complacently at Obama doing nothing and we're like. Uh. Which he's supposed to do more or something.
He said he'd do more. Anyway. Anyway. This is about closing Guantanamo Bay and how we're not doing it.

We call that vodka. Anyway. Let's play a couple more songs. Does anyone else play after this? I think so. Theoretically. Theoretically. Who? Raise your hand. If you're. Theoretically. Raise your hand if you're. Theoretically. Theoretically. Indeed. Super security. Right. Got it. Got it. Alright. Got a player. Um. We've been riding our bikes. Six out of seven days for. Almost two months. And uh. It's pretty cool. Sometimes it gets a little boring. Sometimes it's like. The best thing ever. And sometimes. It's like. You're sitting at a gas station. In rural Georgia. And some dude pulls up in a pickup truck. With two other guys. And they're all wearing hunting camo. And one of them puts a picture out the window. To show to the guy. Who's just sitting on the bench.
And you're like. That guy must be sitting on the bench. All the time. Because these guys knew. To pull in. And show this picture. And the picture. Is a picture. Of the guy. Who's in. The pickup truck. Of him. Leaning out the window. Of his pickup truck. And he's leaning out the window. Of his pickup truck. Showing the picture. And the only thing different. Is that there's a buck head. Out the window. With him. In the picture. And he. Yeah. Right. He showed you too. Yeah. And he's like. Check that out man. Bagged her yesterday. And the guy on the bench. Is like. Ten pointer. Nice. And the guy goes. Damn right. Pulls away. That was it. That was his only business there. And I'm like. Is that. Was that sweet. Or was that terrible. Yeah.
Well. The gen. I may have screwed up. The gender names. Of the deer. My pronouns. That guy knew the difference. I don't know the difference. I don't know the difference. I'm not going to blame that on him. Anyway. This is a song about traveling. Six hours a day. And so like.

After like. Weeks of not talking. Certainly I have a bass. You're a bass. I'm a scratchy. Yeah. Anyway. Last thing I'll share with you. I guess I'll play one more song. But the last thing I'll share with you. Is that. We're riding for a charity that we picked ourselves. Called World Bicycle Relief. And. They give bikes to. Right now. In. Zambia. Which is one of the many. AIDS ravaged nations. In. Africa. They give money to. I'm sorry. They give bikes. To. Children. School children. Primarily. And. Medical caregivers. And. They give money to. I'm sorry. They give bikes. To. Children. School children. Primarily. And. Medical caregivers. And. Bikes there. Are way. Cooler. To. The civilians. Than they are. Here. To the civilians. Unfortunately.
Because. There. The primary mode of transportation. Is walking. And so. Getting a bike. Is pretty badass. Because all of a sudden. You can go. Four times as fast. Four times as far. If you have to walk. Two hours. To school. It's really cool. To get a bike. And. Also. It's a lot safer. To carry more stuff. Etc. So. It's been neat. Here. We just. Try to sell people. On the idea. That you don't need a car. To go everywhere. And. Especially. To get to the fest. And. There. They're trying to. Just encourage. Just. Development. With their hearts. In the right places. Like. So. Just. A really good way. To get. To improve. Quality of life. And. Giving all the door money. We make. On our tour. To. That charity. We've already made. Twenty two hundred dollars.
On this tour. And. The fest. Is donating. A little bit of money. As well. Which is awesome. Of them. Because. And. If you feel so. Compelled. To. Donate something. To the charity. Tonight. Talk to Blake. Give him a little money. And we will. Put it. In the name of. Hotel. Showroom. Three. Dot. Dot. But. Anyway. Thanks for listening. Thanks for. Thanks for. Just loving music. So much. That you've been doing this. For. Did anyone go to a show. Two o'clock. Today. Or whatever. In doing this. More than twelve hours. We didn't mind. Fourteen hour. Alright. So. Yeah. You did it. Good thing. Can y'all. It's right here. For you right now. Honestly dude. Thank you. And we have. Oh we have stickers. World Bicycle Release stickers. For your. Bike. Or your. Butt.
Or whatever. You put it on. Bikes. Anyway. Shit I don't know what to play. Here. Um. What's Shelly? We'll always be home. Shelly's song. That one. Both of those are really hard to sing. Alright. Well. We'll do this one in the name. This is for uh. Rich and Nerman. And Justin. For uh. Creatively coming up with places for us to play and hang out. There's a. There's a.

My body does not like to fest a lot. So I'm going to play two songs in a scratch and whisper through them. And there we go. This one's called Mail Call.
