And welcome to Mini Music Monday. Big sale part two. Big sale part two. In this week's edition and this week's installment, Adele actually listened to Big Sale last night.
I did. The whole record. Front to back. Start to finish.
Start to finish. Through the home stereo system. On the CD, the CD player. On the CD changer.
Change version. Is he heard the whole thing? Yeah. I heard the whole, is he tolerated the whole thing?
That was pretty surprising. I'm not going to lie. You sat on the couch sort of in the distance. I was working on a, I was actually working on a...
Ironically. Album art, recreation of bake sale. Yes. That you do through the Barlow Family General Store.
I was actually working on a new version. An order. A recreation of the bake sale cover. But it was really...
All I really did was scratch all those. It's really cute. The song title is out with an all which was a... A w l l.
A w l l. A w l. I saw it etched. I was like, I was like, really etched in there.
And then colored in the... Yeah. The scratches. It was cute.
It looked really cute. I, it was really interesting to me to sit and listen to. Well, we were talking about this and how I realized, I don't think I'd ever heard a whole Sabuto album from start to finish except for the ones that you did after we became a couple which were defend yourself and act surprised. And so I got it.
You know, and I don't even know if I've listened to defend yourself all the way through to be perfectly honest, but I have, sorry, but I have listened to act surprised a number of times. I like that album. I like that album. So if you're a fan of Saburo and you're out there and you're like, just stuck on the good old days and only like Saburo, bake sale, etc., check out act surprised.
I think it's got a lot of good stuff. Thanks for the juice there. You're welcome. You're welcome.
I really, I mean, I think there's a lot of good meat on that one and some beautiful moments. Anyway, this is about bake sale. So it's my first time sitting and listening to a Saburo album. I am 47, lose 57, right?
Yes, you're 57, you're going to be 50. So we're like the, we're kind of the opposite ends of the Gen X spectrum, but I am the youngest of two older brothers. So I'm much deeper into the Gen X, you know, and I love music. Music is a huge part of my life.
It's always been a huge part of my life, but Saburo, I'm from Minneapolis and St. Paul, I just didn't hear about them and it doesn't mean they weren't big and the people I know didn't know them, people did. But I was very much more into like kind of shoe gazery music, I guess you could say. Yeah, like you like to lush.
I like to lush. I loved the Jesus and Mary Chain. You love my bloody Valentine. My bloody Valentine, Teenage Fan Club, on the Cocktail Twins, the Cure, stuff like that.
And bands. You like the ones that sounded good. I did too. I like all those bands quite a bit.
I love those. I mean, I loved that music and it was, oh, and I also was listening to a lot of female artists. I was telling you, I love Tory Amos. I loved Shenando Conner.
I was listening to Fiona Apple. Cat Power. That was a little bit later, but not in high school. That came after.
I loved Julianne Hatfield. Love, love, love. And I went and saw her, you know, at first Avenue, she was with the lemon heads and that was incredible. Anyway, what do you think?
What's I'm going to say this? I told you this and I'll repeat it for listeners. I'm sad that's this album and that Sabato never landed in my lap or my sphere when I was that age in the 90s and the early 90s, because I think I would have really loved it. And I loved bake sale.
I really loved bake sale. I was not really expecting that. I'm not going to lie. I didn't expect it either.
I was kind of nervous to hear it. Yeah, I was kind of ready for you to say some some hard truth. I was ready to, you know, you know, I mean, you know, I will be honest with you. You were very honest with me.
I find it very useful in my, in the way that I make new music and I value your opinions and criticisms. And I was kind of expecting, I think in my mind, I've almost through, I don't know why, but I've kind of diminished the memory of bake sale in my mind. And I was sort of made it, I sort of turned it into kind of like a failure in my mind. Like, oh, it wasn't as good as I remembered.
And, you know, and it didn't, and people didn't really like it. It just happened to be sort of the ornamentation of that, that time period. And it was just something that people, and I hadn't really thought about the emotional impact of the record and the songs. And I was really struck last night.
I was the impact of the songs one after the other, between Jason and I, and I, I, I understood it. Well, here's a question. What are you gonna say? I don't know.
I could play a Jason Lones main song or I could play together or alone. Oh, I don't know. Maybe we need to make this a three, a three part series so that what do you feel ready to do? I can play in the Jason song.
So which one? I want to do not to mute. All right. Yes, I do it.
I might make some mistakes. It's okay. Do it. This is a supportive space.
Where a girl feel it, but once I'm lonely, I dig in. I can't show this. During podcast ads, like this one, for example, but always wonder how you actually get involved with them for your own brand or organization? Well, it's easier than you think.

I love that song so much. I, yeah. Oh man, when that came on last night, I was like, Oh my God. I felt like I was sinking into the couch as I was listening to this album because I was having so many.
You were literally on the couch. Adele was on the couch lying down. I know. And he did seem like he was sinking into the couch.
That's right. I did. I kind of like I was sitting up and then I was like, I have to lay down. I, because like I said, so many things were hitting me.
I was like, I mean, it's hard to describe being married to you. You know what I mean? And hearing this work that's like a part of you, such a huge part of you, you know, and it's so important and it's so good. Wow.
I feel like I'm going to cry. Oh God. I just, yeah. Oh no.
Well, I thought it's really good. It's a fucking great 90s in Iraq, damn it. And you know, I'm really late to the party, obviously, but I'm going to put this shit on. I'm going to listen to it guys.
And I'm going to really get right there with you. And it also like the things that were sinking into the couch was so many things. But like, I was having a lot of like flashbacks to last summer. Me, Lou and Izzy spent a month on the road.
Lou was doing solo shows and Izzy and I were selling merch and hanging out. And you know, when people would come up to you and they would tell you about a song that was like so important to them and there's many times it's a song off of bake sale, you know, it wasn't like I was dismissive of it, but it was just sort of like I couldn't relate, you know, like, oh, this seems like it was really meaningful to them, you know, it was interesting. And then listening to this CD, I was like, oh yeah, yes, like if I had been in high school and this had come across and landed in my lap, I would have also felt so deeply listening to so many of these songs, you know, and it's not just that they're all heavy. There's also lightness and joy and funny and cleverness.
But when it's heavy, it's real. It's not fake. It feels genuine. It feels like you guys are speaking from this place.
It's like hard to capture in a way, you know, like you had this moment and you guys were all at this little age and this time and speaking your little truths. And wow, I mean, listen to that song, not too amused, right? The fact that that came out of such a young heart and mind. Wow.
Jason was only 20. I mean, I don't know, like all of that was heading me because I know Jason obviously an adult and you spend a lot of time together. So it's like, then I was thinking about him, like what was that have been like? And you know, I was really blown away by his songs.
I have to say, I was just like, oh gosh, I'm gonna keep going. Guys, guys, okay. The song got it. I mean, I'm taking your morning warm with me out into the day.
What is so good? And you know, I have to say the recording of Not a Friend brought me to like tears. It was intense. It was really intense.
So yeah, I mean, I loved it. It was great. And I felt kind of like honored because, you know, like, what if I never met you and what if I never married you? Would this have continued to elude me and never, you know, like been a part of my little, you know, musical history then?
I'm glad it's there. I'm really glad it's not. Really? I'm actually, I'm really, it's not that I've shocked that you liked it that much, but I'm a little surprised.
And I was really also moved by the record. And I think because, because of like Jason and I and thinking about what brought us to that record, how difficult it was to sort of say goodbye to our cafe, but at the same time, that's good. I think we're gonna be back with a part three, guys. Keep hearing podcast ads like this one, for example, but always wonder how you actually get involved with them for your own brand or organization?
