Oh yeah! Raw impressions coming into the new year hot! Every resolution is going strong. Now, they're step closer to the better me, better...
Excuse me, the better you! It's back in it. Right? Right, little?
What are you talking to me? What? How's the new year going? You know...
You've never marined up, right? I like these beats. The beat goes on! It's not stopping for you!
Pretty catchy, right? It's a common source! Mm-hmm. It's the way forward!
How would I possibly sing to a beat like this? Raw impression. You don't? Oh!
I don't have to sing anymore! I guess some people make that decision. Well, it could just be an instrumental song. Or a really long instrumental break.
Raw impression! Well, is that me though? Am I an instrumental guy? What are you doing to do?
How's he going? How's the new year so far? I think he's talking to you. He's talking to me.
Are your resolutions? Yeah. Oh, okay. You know not bad, actually, so far.
Not bad. I think... Well, my resolutions are... ...bake...
...create... ...move... ...read. B-R-M-C.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. And I'm also going to listen to a lot of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I could see you listening to that. I don't know, I feel like you probably have a little sweet tooth for that little...
...that dark. Some of that. Some of that... What do you call that music?
I have no idea. You know, it's kind of like post-Jesus and Mary Chain. Let's not get into a rock critic discussion now. Yeah, maybe just set that one down.
There we go. I do have a... You did remind me of a sweet memory though of when we were in Switzerland at the Montreux Jazz Festival. And that's where we saw...
Right? Yeah, when you had... Black Rebel Motorcycle Club of all places. Yeah, it was...
...dinosaur Junior. I know, do all those things make sense. Well, you know... ...we even have...
...Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It's a dinosaur Junior. You know, it's kind of like that dinosaur Junior at the Newport Folk Festival. It's a bit of a head scratcher.
But it happened. It's inclusive...inclusivity. It's happening. That's right.
Four music kicks. All kinds of forms. Sure. Yeah.
Well, it was...I do have a...now that I'm remembering it. It was like a big dark room and you had your arms around me. It was nice. What's gonna happen?
Oh, I don't... The beats go on. I did not...oh, sure. You didn't plan this.
I didn't come into the new year at times. This was not planned. Really? It wasn't.
Is this a reepee of the intro? Yes. How did that happen? Well, I made...I recorded two mixes of the intro.
And I thought I chose one. I thought I chose the right one and then deleted. Twice as nice. So you know he's asking...
Well, you know, it's gonna be your turn again now. Oh, well, I didn't finish talking about my New Year's resolutions. He's apparently started! Oh my God, this is chaos.
He was asking about mine. I know, but then he was tipping. He typically gave me almost...he typically gave me no time to respond. Yeah.
I feel like I'm in an 80s video game. I'm like dodging little... We could listen to it this time of things. The way forward.
The way forward. The beats. I do like the way forward. Yeah.
Tell me where to go. We are in pressures. No, this has swing. It's been good.
There you go. We're in pressures. We are in... We are in...
It's out of like rot. 2024. What are you doing to Del? Mm-hmm.
How's the new year so far? Mm-hmm. How's the new year so far? Mm-hmm.
What are your resolutions? Okay. Back to what I was saying. Now that we've heard that intro twice, thank you very much.
Um, Bay Create, Move Read. Um, so I haven't started my baking yet, but you don't do all your resolutions in like day one, or it just means this is like an idea for the whole year. This is my vision for the year and beyond. Um, I like to think of myself as becoming like a semi-professional home baker who's just got like dough rising in these cool little bowls and there's always like a fresh loaf in the oven and slicing with that crusty, crunchy outer crust.
I discovered that I'm actually surprisingly good at slicing bread. Mm-hmm. You wouldn't think so. Just in time.
Just in time. Because we got some sourdough bread when we were in Pasadena on our family trip. This is what kind of kicked it off actually when we were there in December on our family trip. In Pasadena, we were staying really close to both Whole Foods.
That's absolutely massive. It's like three levels or some shit. And then an a new era one. It's a brand new era one which if you don't know what's not talking about era one.
Oh, okay. You obviously have not watched the TikToks of era one people who they go like today. I'm going to show you what happens when I get the Hayley Bieber smoothie at era one. Era one is like the private jet.
Of grocery stores. I'm going to just cut right to the chase and say we got some really good sourdough bread when we're in Pasadena and I sliced it really thin. So you're not going to say that you've got one from era one? It was so fucking good because I sliced it thin.
So now I'm ready for you to give me a loaf for me to go thin on that loaf. Like, mmm, because I can do it. I didn't think I could cut anything properly. But I seem to have a talent for thinly slicing bread.
Mmm, okay. Which I'm totally down with. I'm ready. I think that you need to admit that you bought a loaf in era one.
Beats and bread. Okay. That's my resolution. Splicing beats.
No, come clean. Here we go. There we go. Splicing beats and slicing bread.
Splicing beats. Which is the beats. The intro is hopefully not going to come up again. Not beats that grow in the ground.
No, B E A T S. Splicing which is cutting editing. Mmm. You know, back in the day they literally splice the tape.
They cut the tape. That is also, that's much harder than slicing bread. Splicing tape. Anyway.
We had some good bread. And now you want to make it. Now you're like, I want to. Well, I got really excited about the fact that you were so joyfully eating bread daily.
Because I'm a lifelong bread gal. None of the trends have really worked for me. You know, like, don't eat bread. Gluten, that doesn't work for me.
I need this girl. She needs bread. And I like it. Okay.
I just like it. She's funny. Controversial. I'm not going to go.
Sit down. I've got some wild news. People are gasping. Oh, gosh.
She's still eating bread. I am. And I don't plan on stopping. In fact, I'm going to, I was going to say I'm going to grow it.
I am going to grow it in the oven. I'm going to bake it. But so anyway, it's a process. All right.
So I got a book. I think it's called like Flowers, All Water Yeast or something like that. I don't know if that's right. Is yeast in the title?
Yes. I thought you didn't need yeast to make bread. Shodop. Is that your show?
Not according to the book. So much to learn on your journey. I'm planning on easing my way into my bread baking by reading the book first and then acquiring the things I need and then giving myself a good solid school day when he's at school. Black Rubble Motorcycle Club.
I'm rumbling out of the... You know what? I don't know if they're going to be welcome to be my soundtrack because you know who I am about noise that could really distract me from concentrating because when you bake, you have to pull out a scale and do measurements. I think Brack.
Brack. Brack. I don't know. They might distract me.
Maybe. Who knows? It's the Black Rubble Motorcycle Club. Thank you.
Brian Jones Town Massacre. Oh, I like that. Yeah. There's a bunch of other bands that sound just like this.
Okay. The Warlocks. The Warlocks? Mmm.
I think. I've never heard them. Which means nothing. Because there's so many bands.
You know bands that like wear black and play kind of like vaguely garaji. What was that called? Old band we saw in Europe. That was kind of like that.
You played a festival. Savages. No, not them. They were great though.
Yeah. They don't fit in the place. No, no, no. It's not a female band.
It was a male band. I think it was France, obviously outdoors. But we watched them, they were really cool. Do you remember who they were?
And you were like, holy shit, blah, blah, blah. Oh my god. Yeah, who was it? No, it was in Sacramento, a place to bury strangers.
So it wasn't France? No, it was Sacramento, and it was a place to bury strangers. And they were fucking amazing. Was it an outdoor festival?
I think they might. At least at an outdoor festival. Can I get that right? I think they might fit in that playlist, although they're almost too dynamic.
Was it an outdoor festival? Yes. OK, thank you. Sacramento, fierce or fierce place like Africa.
It was Sacramento. That doesn't feel right. One of my finest moments. I don't remember that.
Was I there? You were there. Maybe it wasn't a place to bury strangers. I don't think so.
Oh god. Auto lux. Anyway, I don't know. But a place to bury strangers.
What? What was that? They destroyed their instruments on stage. I remember that day when I was really hot.
They were really noisy. But it wasn't too noisy. It was like kind of just like this really. Oh my god.
You know what? What? I was also pregnant. You were totally pregnant.
But quietly pregnant. No one knew yet. Right. Oh, I remember.
OK, so I was like, where do I go to watch? Loom play. And maybe, oh, was the tour band? Or maybe he wasn't.
But he was around. Oh, was our friend who passed away this year, last year. Last year. Anyway, he was an amazing photographer, really good friend of Dicer Jr.
and ours. But oh, was like, I just love this. He was always like, until you can go wherever you want. You can walk across this whole stage during the show if you want to.
And I'm like, oh, I love you. He said you were as cute as a boot. I was like, hey, buddy. Back off.
That's my boot. Oh, well, I loved oh so much. But yeah, so he set me up. I remember right in this great little spot on stage.
And I was standing with John Maloney. So maybe John was the tour manager. And oh, was just along for the ride. I don't know, guys.
Anyway. The plot thickens. The bread rises. The bread rises.
So yes, bread. Whoo, back to those resoluge. I, let's see, create. What are you doing?
What are you? You're baking. Oh, baking. Oh, baking.
Oh, baking. It was my next one I was going to say. Creating. That's the last one.
Oh, well, if you're going by Black Robom. Yeah, it's OK. So if we go to the next one is Reed. It's called Unraveled Right Now.
I'm just going to say by Peggy O because I don't know how to say her last name. Orinstein. Orinstein. I'm not sure if that's right.
But anyway. I said it wrong. I'm really enjoying it. There you go.
Peggy O. Unraveled. It's a memoir about bad ass woman who decided during the pandemic to basically make like she's a nitter, lifelong nitter. And she wanted to make a sweater from scratch.
And when I say from scratch, like she actually went and learned how to she her a sheep and then she earned her own wool and then died it and then did it and spun it. It's really interesting. I really wanted to read because I just I've kind of like I do read mostly audio books in the last few years. Can I say one thing about that idea that you can read an audio book?
What? You can't read an audio book. Yes, you can. OK.
Even as these teachers were saying this. No, they weren't. They were saying audio was reading. I know audio was OK.
This is my controversial statement. What? Audio was not reading. It is.
There are people who can't see by the way. And so they have to like maybe hear and they're still reading books. Do you not think about that? Well, I'm just saying that like.
Of course I thought of them. I'm always thinking about that. Does that mean that they're not reading books because it's been read to them? Hey, ableist fuck.
Excuse me. Excuse me. I didn't that's not that's not even part of my thing. There's probably also people who can't like read for various like whatever reasons and so like when you're saying reading, you're mean literally reading with your eyeballs.
OK, some people also read Braille. They're reading with their fingers. So reading takes many different forms. OK.
Well, OK. That's all. I'm just all I'm going to say is I listened. Through the Britney Spears audio book.
OK. I didn't read it. I listened to it. And that doesn't mean that's me a sighted person.
That's me. I'm just saying if I'm going to talk about this and I'm going to talk about the Britney Spears book and my experience with the Britney Spears book, I shall not be using reading to describe what happened between me and that work that work. I'll just let that come out of your mouth. OK.
Because I don't feel the same. But her teacher said it's all reading. Is listening to audio books considered reading? Yes.
Perhaps the better question is are you a visual reader or an oral reader? An oral reader. Never considered it that way. I would like to have used that.
Can you imagine using that term? In 19, I can't imagine in 18 or. Guess what? I'm telling my teacher.
Do you know what? Apparently things change and that's a good thing. Just like, you know, women can now vote. No, by the way, did you know that we didn't used to be able to vote?
No, we can vote. How did this possible? You can't vote. Look.
No. I'm down. I'm down with all the rights for all the people. Do experts think audio books count as reading?
Do experts. Look, I'm consulting. Look at this, Adele. Look at me.
I'm consulting my book of facts. Experts say the difference between both as a minimal. Your brain works more or less the same way when processing an audio track as it does processing words on a page. OK.
So, all right. Anyway, it also says audio books can help improve our comprehension and our vocabulary. Can we improve our spelling? It's just gone now, isn't it?
Spelling. Cursive writing. Cursive. Cursive.
Cursive. Okay. Well, I am doing visual reading with my book. Congratulations.
My whole point was reading. It's not the art. My whole point was that reading was not, has not been an active part of my life. Audio or with my eyeballs for the last many, many, many years.
So, okay, to recap. Baking. Reading. Correct.
Just because I miss reading. And this move. Move. Move.
You know what my M would be? Mm-hmm. Never mind. Masterbait.
You don't need permission for that. I don't need to make a resolution for that. That one's already A1 priority. My days of resolving not to masturbate are over, possibly.
Oh, yeah. Light those on fire. No one should ever make that resolution unless you're like addicted and it's affecting your day to day life and you can't go to work or whatever. Mm, wow, that would be a shame.
So, lose M is masturbation. Good. Mine is move, which just means because I feel like when you say like, I'm going to exercise or I'm going to work out, those are like super loaded things to say. You know what I mean?
And it puts this like weight and this expectation on yourself that I think almost sets you up for failure. I like the idea of movement because it sounds fluid. It reminds me of a river. It kind of is like something we're always doing.
And if you want to move a little bit quicker maybe one day, great. If you want to move a little slower, that's fine too. I like this. Yeah, it's just move, baby.
Just move around. Move up and down those stairs, maybe take the stairs instead of the elevator. You know, just move. So.
Thought of something. Yeah. I think you know the solutions go, I made kind of a resolution this year, not to make any resolutions. I feel like a resolution for me personally is almost poisonous.
I can follow through on the resolution. But then when I come back to that thing, that I resolve not to do, I'm like all in on it for like the rest of the year. That when I deprive myself of something, or when I say no more of that, that when it comes back, it comes back hard. Well, you know what?
This is why I don't think of mine as anything that's taking away from me. These are gifts to me. See what I'm saying? Our good friend, Casey St.
Ange, said on her Instagram, think of... Instagram is where I go for all of my life. This is where we learn everything, guys. I'm not even joking.
But our friend, Casey, said that she was saying, think of resolutions also as they can be fun. Like, hey, I get to eat pancakes every Saturday. Whoo! And if you do, you do.
And if you don't, that's fine too. Or I get to watch designing women every night. Great. Like, you don't have to...
Like, a resolution doesn't have to hurt. I don't think any of mine hurt. That's why I'm excited about them. Okay, here we go.
Mine be RMC. Yeah. Beats. Okay.
So you could take mine and incorporate it for yourself. I like this. I like this. Okay, beats.
Resolve to masturbate constantly. I hope that doesn't happen. Oh my God. You could say beats.
Repetitive. Repetitive. Yeah. Masturbation.
Consistency. Those could just be like, you know, just words. Oh, I like it. Beats.
Repetitive. Because I do need to become more... Right. I need to do more repetitions.
Like making them habitual. Like, beats actually finding beats, making beats, making rhythm is something that's repetitive. Exactly. And the repetition creates the bed.
The bed creates where your ideas can... That's kind of your blueprint, right? Yeah. Your bed.
Yeah. And what was the... Consistency. Consistency.
That is actually... That's a good one. Thanks. Consistency.
Yeah. Because I think you actually really... Um... You actually, when you do do things consistently, I always see you feel better about it.
Like, you're breathing, for example. Like, when you're... You have been consistently breathing regularly. Yep.
And I would say that's been an improvement in your life. It is. It's actually caused... It's actually brought me closer to joy.
And when I say breathing, obviously he breathes. I mean, he does meditative breathing. You know what else I did? I feel like I've done more consistently this year, this past year, 2023.
Uh-huh. And I'm carrying it over into this year. Okay, that's good. That's consistency right there.
Consistently do the dishes. Mm-hmm. I think. I mean, you just could be up for debate.
But I do consistently... When it strikes me. When I see that it is necessary. When I want to clear the deck for you.
Mm-hmm. And coming... And this coming here, clear the deck because you will be baking. Yes.
Which I'm sure is going to involve a lot of pans. Oh my gosh. A lot of time. I know.
A lot of utensils. Yeah. I don't know. Cause I...
Yeah. I'm going to be here to wash those dishes. Thank you. And uh...
We won't be here. You'll be on tour. But when you're home. I'm actually going to consistently be on tour this year.
But... It's depressing after a while. I know. Thousands of miles from home.
Ah! Well that's enough. Ha ha ha ha ha. Voss concludes another episode of Ride Bresions.
