You know what time it is? It's time for wrong questions. Guess what the full of this episode. Guess what Luna Dell have cooking this week.

It's an episode about time. Oh, time. Time. Keep talking about time passing.

Keep talking about that for the very, very special thing going on. Yeah, for the track man. I'm going to be doing a new vocals on the famous song. I'm like, about dark.

Is this a new thing? It's a new song. What was it hit? Fuck no.

It's not that pink floyant song either. The Pink Floyd song, I think he's talking about it, is on Dark Side of the Moon. What's it called? There's a song called Time.

A Pink Floyd. Dark Side of the Moon. It's one of the best-selling records of all time. I bought it when I was in middle school thinking it was because it was the best-selling record of all time.

At that point, I had been on the top, whatever, 100 album list forever. I thought it would be a really good record. I bought it and it came with a sticker. Is that the one that has a triangle?

Yeah. It's like a prism on it. A prism. There's a rainbow.

I'm making that up. Prism. Prism. Rainbow.

Same thing. Dark Side of the Moon. Classic Pink Floyd record. There's a song called Time on it.

I don't remember how it goes. It starts with a clock. It goes tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick and then the alarm goes off. So, Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon.

What do you think of that album? Can I be perfectly frank? Please do. I don't like it.

I don't like it. I didn't like it then. It actually was a good segue into punk because when I heard the clash, I was like, okay, that sounds like music. That sounds like music I want to hear.

Music for you. Yeah, it's not clean. It's not because Pink Floyd is very clean. I probably would know songs off of it if I heard it.

Maybe I'll put it on today while I'm working. I don't know if I've ever heard Dark Side of the Moon or, you know. People have, I mean, not that they've ever left Pink Floyd's side, not that they've ever let go with Pink Floyd. It's kind of like a grateful dead.

It just keeps growing and growing. You might really like it. There was a guy that I thought was cute in high school and it was kind of funny because I was a senior and he was a sophomore. I loved it when guys had names that were kind of like their Irish nickname.

His name was Patrick, but he was called Patty, P-A-D-D-Y. I just thought that was so cute. His bedroom, he had a big poster for- He saw his bedroom? I did.

We never dated or anything, but we were in like band together. I was, you know, in the, maybe I was a junior. I don't remember, but we were marching band together in high school and I was not a musician. I twirled the flag.

I was a color guard. But anyway, he was a percussionist, I think. This is getting a little muddy, but anyway, Patty had a big poster. I think we were just like hanging out listening to music or something, but it wasn't.

Just do two? You and Patty? No, they're made of other kids like just hanging out after school or something in his house. I'd like to move on from Pink Floyd.

I feel like- You've checked that off? I've checked it off. Fort track man was saying that it wasn't Steve Miller because there's a time, keeps on ticking and ticking and skipping. It's time keeps on slipping.

I'm like an eagle. Dang. So good. So anyway, I guess Fort track man is going to sing a song a little bit later.

We were in negotiations about it. In the end, I decided he was the best. Rather than me, I had a hard time. You'll see what song is.

I was going to say, so you actually handed the baton to Fort track man for lead vocals? I did. Interesting. Okay.

I didn't actually hear this because you were all scrolled away in here. Yesterday, you were doing your vocals. I was busy downstairs. I uploaded a bunch of stuff to the Barlow Family General Store.

Cue that song. The Barlow Family General Store. Where these are related items. And it's basically me using up all these scraps and things like that, knitted swatches that I've collected over the years.

So they're all things I've made. It's not just stuff I've bought. It's all from me and my little brain. But I kept all these sample swatches and trials and a big bin.

I've hundreds of them. And so now I'm putting them, I'm stretching some of them in embroidery hoops and making them like little wall hangings or ornaments. And, anyway, I'll upload a bunch of those to the Barlow Family General Store. Go check them out.

And I think they're super cute. What I've been doing. Oh, so anyway, that's why I didn't hear you because I was real busy downstairs in your busy upstairs. Let me tell you what I'm doing.

Tell me. Other than doing what I did yesterday with this mysterious song that's coming up. I have to learn a bunch of dinosaur junior songs I don't know. Heck yeah, you do.

From where you been. The album is called Where You Been. I believe it's the most popular dinosaur junior record. Is it?

Well, that's exciting for fans then. Yeah, it's people are excited. All these shows are sold out. You're doing a Where You Been tour.

Kinda, yeah. Yeah. And I'll be perfectly honest. I'm not totally familiar with most of the LP.

Although I play on it. So that's understandable. Nope. And you don't play every song live typically.

No. You do play a couple that you already know really well. There's a pretty large bit of dinosaur junior history that I'm not familiar with. Right.

Murph is actually not familiar with because he was. Neither of you were in the band at the time. Yeah. But I think Murph did play on Where You Been.

I'm not sure. It's a little cloudy. So I have to learn these songs. And I was like, yeah, it's cool.

I thought that October was going to be this month where I just locked in and did my own stuff and you and I just work on the podcast and stuff like that. But then I had this realization that I really, really need to lock down and make the Where You Been stuff as good as possible. Which means I am not the most gifted musician. I have to learn things by repetition.

And a lot of I just have to do it over and over and over again and really inhabit these songs. It takes me a while. So I realized I'm going to have to actually put a huge chunk of October. Devote October.

This is sort of because now I feel like I lost the first part of October to beat lost to the COVID. And other stuff. So I've constructed a new month or I've come up with a new month starting now with this podcast today. This is October.

And at the end of October, I will be going. That's when the show starts for where you've been. I hear, yeah. I feel like this fall got pushed back for me as well because of your COVID, then my COVID and I've been waiting on some test results.

So everything felt very unhold and I will share quickly with everyone that yesterday I received very good news. I do have a cyst in one of my breasts, but it has been nine and no intervention is needed. I'm okay. So I'm very grateful.

It really worked those tips yesterday. I got really lucky. I got really checked out. Felt up.

You know what I mean? Listen, I... Zapped. Appreciate the care that went into making sure I was okay because I do feel like in a lot of women's healthcare we're sort of like breast decided or blown aside and there's not a lot of research done.

But since breast cancer is so prevalent, they've kind of had to like learn about it and thank goodness. So they're very cautious and they do a lot of tests and... Now can you share with them? You told me yesterday that almost the whole room, everyone who was examining your breasts when they found out that it was not a problem, that everybody got emotional.

Yeah, it was like a collective... We all sort of collectively sighed and the ultrasound technician like grabbed a tissue. I grabbed a tissue. Really?

It was just... You know, yeah. I mean, who knows what the future will bring? All I know is today.

I'm okay and I'm very grateful. So that's it. And I had a lot of people reach out who've had double mastectomies and people who've just also been through this weight game and it's so hard and so I just send all my love to everyone going through that because gosh, it's a lot to carry. So anyway, thank you for all the love and well wishes everyone.

Yeah, so you were at your appointment yesterday and I was working on the song. Here it is. So long said I love it. Sunrise.

Beautiful song with timeless song. So, one of those seconds, second, second, 1860. Early, early 60s. Early.

Yeah, four track man, that's his debut lead vocal. I thought he did a great job. I could have done without the whole thing at the end. He really...

I don't know. I thought it reminded me of if John Denver lowered his voice or something. Oh yeah? They had like a John Denver-esque feel.

I kind of felt like I was frolicking through some wildflowers in the mountains. I tried to do it myself and I just didn't feel like the tender of my voice really matched the song. I didn't feel like I could pull it off. So how much do you adore that song?

I love that song so much. I do. When we merged record collections, God, when was it 11 years ago now? You had quite a bit of your parents' records.

And we went through the records. We went through a lot of these records. I think we had just discovered, or I had just discovered Instagram. So I was doing posts of us listening to the records.

Did you know this song before? No. Wait a minute. No.

No. Or did I? I can't remember. We listened to the record first.

We did hear it because I was like, what's this? Because your parents have all these folk records from the early 60s just before the rock and roll exploded. What happened with the rock and roll? It wasn't rock and roll.

All of these hipsters that were playing folk music, like Bob Dylan and then all of the people around that. They became rockers after that. The birds were big folkies. Even my favorite band, the music machine, Sean Benewell, the leader of the music machine, he was also a folk singer.

But when they heard the Beatles, they just immediately changed everything. So there was this period in the early 60s of this sort of really political folk music that was being played by young people like hipsters, you know, and who played various acoustic instruments and the post-seco singers are definitely part of that. Were they a family? No.

I don't think so. Maybe there were a couple of brothers in there. I don't know the history, but I do know that when we, and then we found that song when we moved here to Greenfield, we listened to WIZZ all the time. Yeah, it was radio.

Awesome. Awesome AM station. I played all the hits from the 30s. 30s, perfect station, actually.

It was great. It was so good. It played all this hit. It was hit, you know, top 40 music, but I wasn't really, you don't know all the hit songs from the 40s and 50s and 60s.

And this station played the deep cuts and they played that one day and I lost my mind. It sounded so good on AM radio. So good. Yeah, I adore that song and I think, I wonder if it's even in my top.

I don't know, 20, 30, favorite songs ever. It's a really good song. I wanted to do it right and I didn't have a whole lot of time. Time.

Time has become such a, not become it is. We're always talking about time. How fast it goes, how the kids grow up quickly. Is these two front teeth have finally started to ascend from her gums?

And I started to wonder if she was never going to have her two front teeth. I thought of that too. I was like, wow, she just got up too. Like are they just going to live up there forever?

And the next thing you know, these two big front teeth are starting to pop out. Her smile is starting to change and she's just getting taller and just reading the song. And signs as we're driving to school, it's like, wow, this person who couldn't read is now reading and whole time. Yeah.

So it feels like we're racing into the holidays already. I feel that way. Like before you know, it's going to be Halloween and you're going to be then leaving to go to London to play those dinosaur junior shows for where you've been. I really wish I could be there for that.

That sounds so fun. But I can't. I got to hold down the Fort in Greenfield. They're doing like six or seven shows in London, I think, for where you've been.

That's a lot of work because we're going to have guests. I know each of these shows. So I kind of don't know who the guest is. Kevin comes down.

I bet he will. Kevin Shields. I assume he will. He'll come over from Ireland.

But those shows, we did it for the first album, you know, eight years ago. And it's a lot of work because we have all these guests. Yeah, I was pregnant with Izzy. You were pregnant with Bang Bang.

And so the days are long because we'll get these guests that come in and we have to learn songs with the guests, you know, which does entail sometimes learning songs, all new songs. And so I think I got to meet my most famous celebrity during that time. What was that? Oh, the Walking Dead guy.

The hot Walking Dead guy. Oh, no, I'm in. I think I can say this, right? What?

He was hot for you. He told you you smelled good. I was like, whoa, Norman Reedus is like sort of hit. Oh, man.

This is the first. He's with his partner now. My God. He was not hitting on me.

He was just being really cute. He's like, do you smell good? Yeah, he did. That's like that actually happened.

Yeah, he said you smelled good. And I mean, and Dale, look at this. He even invited me to go down and see him on the Walking Dead set in like North Carolina or whatever. I was like, I'm hearing him pregnant.

By the best time to have an affair. That's time to have an affair. God, he's cute. When you're pregnant.

Because he can't get pregnant. When you're pregnant. That's right. It's full on.

But yeah, he's a dinosaur junior fan. And so maybe I can follow up with him if he comes to the shows in Brooklyn and to show him like, I know, I mean, now you've got a baby. Here's my son. How's life?

Do I still smell good? Mm. Yeah. Make sure I'm there too.

Yes, you'll be there. Don't worry. Don't worry. Isn't he not on that show anymore?

I have no idea. He did. I don't even know if that show's still on anymore. I don't know.

But I've seen it before you had Izzy. Mm-hmm. And we were watching and I found it like terrifying. I found like every episode like this just epic sorrowful journey.

And I've explained this before and I was talking about it with you a long time ago. It's like when I had kids I immediately had zero tolerance for that kind of like just just, like, violent deromas. I'm like I can't see... Scary stuff, yeah.

I can't see people get shot in the head. I can't even see the zombies. I'm like they used to be people! I can't.

I just cannot. Zero tolerance, but you, before you had Izzy, you were like bring on the fucking blood and guts. guts and I was like, oh god. I did have like a little bit of a horror like movie sort of straight.

And that was our couch time. I'm like, our couch. That would be literally just these deep, deep cold sweats like from this just the terror. Yeah.

I mean, you know, it's a metaphor. There's not a business. But it's yes, it's scary. You know, it can be scary.

But I can't I can't watch a lot of that stuff now. I mean, it's I can't watch anything where, yeah, families or kids are like hurt or women. I don't know. I yeah, I've narrowed it down.

Now I'm just basically watching Virgin River. And I'm just waiting for you to have some free time so we can binge season five of Virgin River. We got to find out who's the father of Charmaine's twins. I'm down.

Someone just pressed our doorbell. Yeah, I heard that. I think it was our order of who gives a crap. Hey, feel free to sponsor us guys.

You know, that's for toilet paper everybody. And they're zooming off. Now I can hear the truck zooming away. You ever heard the term clowns in brown?

No. This is what people I was working with this record label in San Francisco and they referred to the UPS guys as the clowns in brown. Because they're brown uniforms. Yeah.

Well, I've always been a clown. I know. It sounds mean. It sounds a little mean because I've always, I like it.

I like their little uniforms. Sometimes little brown shorts in the summer. I love uniforms. So in clowns have a uniform too.

That's a cutiform. Well, they call them the clowns in brown. They're not clowns, man. That's a fucking hard job.

I'm into UPS. Oh, yeah. They just delivered something to me. Thank you.

They delivered toilet paper to us. Probably. Yeah, I'm psyched. I love UPS.

And I love uniforms. You know, like the post office UPS. It's cute. Oh, what else?

What's happening? Have we lost? Has anyone still listening? Anyone?

Let's see what else will be coming today. No, I'm coughing. No, I'm just going to. Oh, gosh.

Oh, gosh. Keep that in because it can't just be my coughs all over this podcast. Oh, my gosh. So yes, lose rehearsing.

He's got a zip out of here to head down to Jay's house to go do some kind of. Oh, I got to go now. You got to go. I do.

OK. So 1035. OK. And it takes me 25 minutes to get down there.

I want to be right on time. Absolutely. I want them to know that I'm down. Be on time.

Where you been? I'm down. I'm psyched. I get to see it.

Well, I'm definitely going to try to go to Brooklyn for a couple of shows. Down to Lynn, but you'll be there a long time. So I don't know. Got to want to go.

Two of them, maybe. We'll see. You shared a really, yes, it was our who gives a crap delivery. I just got to notice.

I'm a little watch. You shared a funny post on your sub stack, which actually, it triggered a lot of really kind and thoughtful responses from people I think that you were just trying to be kind of funny. You were responding to a pitchfork review that was given. 20 years ago.

20 years ago. Talk about time. This is a big thing. That's a time has been a concept.

This week because I realized, wow, it was 20 years since I released the new full-complosion record that the ill-titled, the amount of sorrow and sort of regret from this album calling it the new full-complosion. And the band was not the full-complosion at all. It was an entirely different band. We were all wonderful people.

It was just, that was not the full-complosion. Yeah. And now that I'm doing the full-complosion, which is another thing I have to work on. It's just you and John Davis.

That's another piece of time that I need to devote to really put the final touches on the record. But anyway, so I did that. Let's have a sub stack. Check it out.

I think it's fair to say that I, a short track man, killed it this week with my performance of time by the Pozzo-Sucker-Sucker. Look, don't be surprised if I'm boxing at more songs. I think Lumos. I think Lumos now, I'm the guy.

I've got the boys. I've got the golden pipes. He's getting carried away. He's very healthy confidence.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you'll be here for me next week. I don't think I don't think I'm going to.

I don't think he's bigger than a fireman in terms of the power. I'm not thinking about it. Thank you so much, everyone. Thank you for listening to the wrong impressions.

Indeed. Thank you, everyone.
