It's my pleasure to announce this. The 139th episode of Raw Impressions. Take it away. You two, as you always do.
Rotten impressions number 139. Mediocre impressions. That wasn't even for track, man. It was a soothing sound voice.
139th episode. That's not even. That's not true. That's way more than that.
These are full length. Yeah. 139th full length episode. Oh, fully stretched.
Fully. It's Wednesday, guys. Hi. Hi.
You like a little tendril in front of your nose. Lou started reading Evan Dandell's memoir. I did just before this started. I wasn't even going to talk about it, but I did read the first page.
Oops. I just shared it. So there you go. I just read the first two pages in and I am fucking psyched.
Are you hooked? I'm telling you, I'm ready for this one. I heard a good word about it. And I'm like, hell yeah.
I love rock autobiographies. You do. That's your book. That's like your.
Yeah, the last one. Your lane. Mike Campbell from the. From the heartbreakers.
Great book. Heartbreaker. Yeah. I actually almost curious to read that one because you talked about it was such fervor.
Oh, I love that book. Yeah. Love you. Just it was like a little like heart heart.
I love that guy. I do love that guy. I feel raw impressions. I feel like I know it's back track.
You do come in track of time. Really? Really? Oh, you're beautiful.
Back tracking. Retraction time. I have nothing for that. Really?
I thought if I put it in there, I would then think of something. That was that's been on some episodes before because there's just many, many, many times where I say something blatantly untrue and then I come back the next episode and I explain what I. Back to. I just came.
Let's just make something up. I can't keep track of it anymore. I won't say that as much as Mike Campbell. I love him.
I feel I know him. Evan Dando is an unknowable. He is so complicated. He is one of the most complicated, intelligent people I've ever met in my life.
I fear him to a degree. I admire his talent. I'm very interested in this book. Yeah.
He's huge. When I met him, you guys were, Sabato was playing a show with lemonheads this was a long time ago. In London? London, yes.
That was a funny night. And it was a night. It was a night. He was hanging out with that white family who at the time were kind of the most rad man in England.
The most like these guys were like real. I'm going to say this in the most affectionate way. They were real dicks. They really didn't do it.
They really leaned into me and just dicks. Is that band even still around? Yeah. Sure.
Is that? I feel like, yeah, they were backstage. It was a very, very big backstage stage. There was a blizzard of Dando.
You know, just a blizzard. Yeah. If you know what I'm saying. Adele and I did not partake.
No. I was pregnant. You were pregnant. I was, I can't, I'm afraid of dying.
So I don't. Yeah. There was like, you know, sort of like one of those where you see like a room, you pass by a room and there's like adults, but they're sitting on a circle on the floor and you're like, no, I, oh God. I'm not going in that room.
Yeah. But then I ended up like, I think I went into like another little room, ended up being like a kitchenette and ran into Casner, John Casner. And then he made me tea. So it was fine.
We were chatting. You know, but yeah, things, yeah. It was like one of those things where he was like, you saw things, I heard things, I met people. I did think like, you know, 10 to 20 years before that, I would have absolutely been in that circle.
Put on, put on my snow suit and head outside. You could have dropped me off in the Arctic Circle with that. He worked on that. Hey, guys, that's all build a snowman.
Do you? I would have fucking built a snowman with that white. I put it at my nose. It's like just a real swell group of guys to head out into the tundra with.
And Evendando was there. Yes. So he was a, he was so tall. He was you, Cornelius.
I know he's like a Yeti. He's so big. He has these big shoulders and a deep voice. And you know, I think it's probably he's mighty.
He's mighty. I bet a few people have, have been like, you know, swept up under that, that voice, right? That like, oh, I know I have a sway. Oh boy.
Sway. Evan Dando and a acoustic guitar and just the right amount of drugs. Like a sweet spot. Not a bad spot.
Like a good spot. It's pretty fuzzy. Mm. Pretty fuzzy.
Could be warm. Could be warm. And just like being in a movie. We listened to, was it, it's a shame about Ray, like start to finish, like maybe the last year or so when you drove to Boston or a year or two?
I don't know. It was very satisfying. If you've never listened to, you know, the Lemonheads and album. It's a little album.
I don't know. May have heard of it. May have heard of it. It's a shame about Ray.
You know, it's not bad. It's not bad. And it's good, actually. It's good.
It's a fine, fine little pop nugget of a record. Yeah, that's it. It's just a pop nugget. It's good.
It's classic pop record. It's got some depth. There's some depth there. Mm hmm.
There's an intrigue. Mm hmm. That's true. That's true.
And it's got a, it's got a real nice swing to it. The whole thing. That's what I mean. Yeah.
It's a nice swing and sway. Rock a by fucking baby. Yeah. So you're, you dug in.
You, you've, you've already like what page one and you're Oh yeah. The hook. I got you. Get ready because we're going to be hearing a lot more about it.
Well, you in particular. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I should just read it too. So that side by side, we can like almost race through it and then chat with each other about it. Tonight. Okay.
Starting at page number 42 of Rumors of My Demise by Evan Dando. I think I finally had enough of Martha's Vineyard. Dot dot dot. Oh my gosh.
Well, I, you know, maybe I'll read it. I don't know. I'm sort of like on a, books are a lot like eggs to me there. I'm real hot and cold with them, you know, literature.
We come and go. Sometimes I'm in it. Sometimes I'm very out. I don't see.
I don't look, I don't look at my phone. I will like do anything other than look at my phone while I'm in debt for you. Good for you. I mean, I do want to look, I'm just saying when I'm at home and I need to be you do look at a really much bigger phone a lot by the way and it's called your computer.
I see you, you will like scooch over your computer about a million times a day. I got a lot of stuff. I have a lot of. I have a lot of.
Look at your phone. Yeah, but I'm not looking at social media. I know. How do I fucking know?
Ask me. I'll tell you what I'm looking at. It's porn and your email. So you know what?
That social media. Look, no, I know. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't source that stuff online. No, no.
I think that makes a big difference. I create all of my content. I am my own content creator. I write songs.
I'm looking at the computer a lot because I'm in the middle of writing. I'm writing a bunch of songs right now and they might all suck. I have no idea. Good for you.
They might suck. You're a songwriter. He's a songwriter, but he's an artist. I'm kind of finishing like five songs right now.
Damn. Hot damn. But like I said, don't know if they're any good. I'll have to play them for the podcast.
Sure. You better be out. Just play them one right after another. Get them all over one.
Right. Yes, exactly. It's like, well, I do look at my phone before bed in bed, waking up while I'm in the bed. Fuck the phone for waking up.
I cannot look at the phone. I've made a little rule. I don't follow rules. I am like, I'm my whole.
But you just said you've made a rule and you're saying you don't follow. It's one of my only rules. One of the only rules that I follow because I really follow no rules and I have no. I have a hard, I have a difficult times with structuring my life as you may or may not know.
Definitely. Yeah. But one thing that I do consistently not do is look at my phone within one hour of waking up. Good for you.
Must be nice. It's good. No, it is. That's great.
That's good for you. It doesn't make anything better. It doesn't make the world any funnier. I mean, it doesn't seem to stop your paranoia.
No, nothing can stop my paranoia. I was born with that shit. That's going full on. I can ignite the paranoia, the low flame, the paranoia.
Hello. Oh, I'm going to text the word. Oh, out of context, alert. Do you have something?
No, I don't know anything about it. I do. It's not in the context we're talking about, but I have running and a little loop through my head is a lyric, a little chunk from the new song. I think it's called the Fate of Ophelia from the new Taylor Swift album.
It's this song, this little chunk is just like, it's like, you're something about your team, your hands, your vibe, your team, your hands, your vibe. It's just, oh, it's pledge allegiance to your, your butt, your knees, your thighs, pledge allegiance to your curls, your toes, your eyes. Oh, okay. So that's my unrelated.
That's just what's going through my mind and the other thing that's going through my mind, it's unrelated is, uh, meet shark cryo glow, the new med spa inspired mask with under eye cooling, IQ, LED technology using high powered LED and deep infrared for visible results in just eight weeks, better aging treatment boosts collagen and is clinically tested to reduce fine lines and signs of aging.

I have a thing that makes it challenging sometimes because I'm looking for dopamine fixes. And so you might not have that, but I do. I'm fucking pounding the dopamine. Okay.
Well, it just looks differently in different people then, you know? Yeah. Well, you know what it looks like with me. I would just like to say that even before a phone came into my life, I would love to blame the phone for all of my, you know, what's the word of when you put off something?
Procrastination. For my procrastination. You know, in the past, I've had times where it was just my brain that was the phone, right? The phone distraction was my brain.
And that wasn't great. It was very dark. It was like repetitive and dark and room and you know, it was ruminating on things. I shouldn't have been.
I was fighting with people who, these fights weren't even, you know what I'm saying? So it's kind of like, I don't know. Okay, pick and choose your poison right now. You're saying your own feed sucks.
My own personal feed blows. I don't like my own feed. And so, yeah, I like to, I like to wash it down. I like to kind of, yeah, take care of my dark feed with some light feed.
Maybe like some cats doing cute stuff in videos. I love that when that comes from my feed, like people posting adorable videos of their cats just being adorable. This one guy posts videos of his cats just stepping on his synthesizer and it just makes me laugh. I love it.
I look at a lot of Instagram when I'm on tour. Yes, you do. Yeah, you do. I consume a damaging amount of it while I'm on tour.
Yeah. I will spend a whole day just bringing myself, just grabbing myself and dragging myself to the pit of my fears. Hey, just a friendly reminder that you've been speaking for 17 minutes, 17 minutes. There's anything, any other important detail you want to get in before this one goes down, closes out, stops at the end where it's meant to end.
We talk, we do have something. Oh, okay. There is something that we need to announce. I know that it's just rambling.
Yeah. I'm going on tour in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Amazing. Lou, Barlow solo, guys.
Yeah. So exciting. Well, tell them all about it. I don't have the dates in front of me.
Oh, well, I mean, just we're going. It's in November. Is that just November? Oh, he's going to bring more than one guitar and we're going to try to shove a ukulele in one of our suitcases.
Oh, we will, we'll get, I have a perfect suitcase for it. We booked our flights. We booked our flights. Oh my gosh.
We got my friend, John Maloney is going to be the two. So. That's a fun place to check it out. Again, it's just a random.
I love it. Just interjected our random shit. I really had no ideas for the show. It's a free form podcast.
I just thought I would place some of the bumpers. Bump it up. Okay. So what are you excited about for Ireland and England and Scotland?
What are you excited about? I'm really excited about playing solo acoustic. It's been a long time since I've been there and done that. And I feel like I'm much better at it now than I used to be.
And actually, I've always been fairly good at it and I've always enjoyed it. But I feel, I just haven't been there and I feel like a decade's at this point where I really played solo for people. I love playing solo shows. Because I really feel, because it's just real friendly, you know, and it's a good thing for me right now with my ear condition that I have.
It's kind of cool to play quieter. So we don't ignite my manures too much. And it's just a very, I really enjoy playing solo acoustic. Yeah, I love seeing you play solo.
And I feel like I'm doing pretty good. Like when I did Canada, that was good, right? Oh, it was amazing. You sing songs from all of your bands.
And I'll take like requests before the shows and I would take requests at the shows. And I really try to play the songs that people want to hear. And I try to make sure that I set aside time in the shows to play songs that I'm really passionate about that I've written maybe in the last five or 10 years. Songs that maybe not everybody knows of mine that I'm just passionate about playing.
And they speak, they say things that I want to say right now. I get a lot out of it. It's very cathartic. I love it.
I'm sure. Well, I am thrilled to be tagging along. And I'm not just tagging along. I'll be working.
You'll be seeing me. I'll be. I love the general store. I love the general store.
I love the general store. The broiler family general store will be there with basically. So I'll be there manning the shop, the little table, wherever you are, wherever the gigs are to buy things, come up and say hi. And I'd love to meet you, whoever you are who comes to the show.
And Lou will be there two usually before and after he plays. Oh, hang out. Yeah, you hang out. We hang out.
We hang out. The fun thing about leaving the United States and going somewhere else is even just basic things like a loaf of bread or like their condiments or mayonnaise or mustard and things like that. Like they all taste a little bit different. They come in a different packaging, you know, and just there's so much fun with that.
Like they're everything labeled. We're taking Izzy. We're taking Izzy. We're taking Izzy.
She'll be nine. And I think it's a good time to yeah. Spose her to a little bit of international travel. Yes.
You know, at an age where she's going to kind of remember it. And I'm at a point now that I tour all the time. So being at places, being someplace different. It's not super exciting to me anymore.
And when I'm alone. Fucking your alone. Excuse me. I don't want, I mean, I miss, I more than ever when I tour now, I miss you guys.
And I miss sharing it because there's so much to share and being in the world is so important. And to see the world continuing on to see the world turning in all these different places. Yeah. And realizing that boy, you just really don't know that much about the world.
Do you? You know, you don't really know. And then realize it. Yeah.
And there's just so many of just the way the world is all kind of held together by people just being kind to each other. And that's something that I always, I'm always reminded of when I travel. You know, just moving. Mm.
You know, and then travel really gets me the fuck out of my head. I'll say that. And I'm someone who could be very, I can be very, very domestic and very fearful. But I've been lucky that my, my lifestyle, my work has blown me out of my comfort zone over and over and over again.
And every time I feel like I just get a little bit better at coping and I get a little bit better at seeing the good things in the world. And I get a little bit better just realizing how connected everything is. And that's something that I'm now just when I'm doing it alone. It's just not as, it's not quite as fun.
Oh, no. I mean, seeing things through the eyes of your loved ones, your family, there's nothing like it. Yeah. There's nothing like it.
So we're so excited to be new eyes and ears for you. And I just, yeah, I can't wait to even just like to see what the sky looks like. Like, what is the light going to look like here? And what are the trees going to look like?
And what are the streets going to look like? And, you know, so I'm the sounds and hearing all these different voices and yeah, people just moving about their day and living their lives and so I'm excited. You're so cool. I love the way you talk to each other.
I love the vibe of this podcast. It's great. Raw, Raw Impressions. In this was episode number 139.
Thank you to everyone who made it all the way through. We love you. We love you. Impressions.
