The tour is going great, Tiny Tunes Tuesday guy. I'm home. You're home. It's in between Toronto and Boston.
I know. How lucky. I get a little breeze on through. Greenfield, Massachusetts for a day.
How nice. Yeah, and I thought, you know, we weren't going to do it. Tiny Tunes Tuesday today. But then I thought, I don't know.
I felt invigorated. I mean, I thought we were going to do it tomorrow. But I don't want to do that this day. It was too much.
Day of the show. The show day. Because you and I are going to do it. I don't know.
I'm going to do it a little day. Oh my gosh. So excited. A little dady poo.
We're going to drive to Boston together. You guys, I'm going to go to the show and Boston. I'm so excited. I scored a little guestless spot.
Lucky me. And we're going to stay for the show. I'm going to see all of the dinosaur junior, all of the flaming lips, and all of the weezer. You're going to see weezer in their rocket ship.
I'm pretty fucking psyched. So. Yeah. Yeah.
It'll be fun. It'll be really fun. And then I'm going to even go stay over in Boston. Yeah, I'm not leaving until five in the morning.
Oh my gosh. Fantastic. So I can amble out of our room at five o'clock in the morning and stumble and try to find where the buses parked at the back of that enormous building. Yeah.
TD Garden. Oh my god. TD Garden. So Casey Musgraves was just there Saturday night.
Oh. Our friend Liz attended the show. Oh. Yeah.
I'll show you later. She sent me a couple of videos, a beautiful little clip of her singing the architect, one of my favorite songs off her new album. So maybe there's still, there'll be some leftover Casey vibes? Maybe.
I feel like it's kind of a lucky thing to have Casey there, like so close to you. It just, yeah, the feels like good energy. You know, like when you play a club and maybe a band that you know leaves you a little message on the wall. Yeah.
Hey guys, I saw you were coming. Yeah. Maybe she's left a little note for dinosaur junior and maybe me specifically. Wow.
Yeah. Hey Lou. Love and Ron Prashans. Ah.
Thanks Casey Musgraves. Anytime. Anytime. Yeah.
Yeah. Sorry the tours going good. It's an arena tour. Yeah.
Well, I will say if the clip that Liz sent me from Casey's Any indication, the sound will be fantastic. Yep. We're playing to like how many people fit in those things? Twenty thousand?
I actually don't know. It's truly remarkable. I walk out, you know, while the flaming lips are playing and these are like, they're truly so many people. They're like, as many people as have seen me play in five years are in this one building.
Do you know what I mean? I'm like, wow. Right. They're like the responsibility that like rivers and company have.
They really, it's like, that's a big responsibility. That's true. So many people. Yeah.
I'm like, man, I've had it easy. Super easy. And what dinosaur junior are doing before these shows is also easy. We play for twenty five minutes.
Mm hmm. And you guys kick out the jams for twenty five. We do. We actually, we do kick out the jams.
We do a whole like free, almost like free form, two chord. It's a sort of reminiscent of looking at you by MC5 kind of end thing that we do just jamming. And then Jadus, J is his mission, his stated mission is to use every guitar pedal. Oh.
During the course of our performance. Okay. I like that. I like that little goal he's set for himself.
It's time for you to play a tune for this Tuesday. You seem ranched. You seem fucking ranched. I don't know.
Are your vocal chords okay? Are you holding up? You're going to sing a dinosaur junior tune first? Yeah.
I am. Commemorate the 15th anniversary of the farm LP. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
These anniversaries of these albums. Well, why don't you play the tune? We won't do the countdown. You can just start anytime you feel like.
Take your time, Tiger. What was your guys's first reunion album? Beyond. Oh, yeah.
I don't know what number it was. It was the second reunion record. No, I was going to look it up. Oh, creepy.
Look at this. I didn't look it up. It was the second reunion record. No caller ID.
Should I answer that? No. Jesus. Oh, okay.
I'll send it right to voice. You don't answer the phone and they'll be fifty thousand dollars sucked out of a credit card. Oh my God. I can't even answer those things.
I wish I could. Oh, wait. I want that's just creepy. It's creepy.
Usually it doesn't say no caller ID. Usually it says, oh man. I don't know. I sent it to voicemail, so let's see what they do.
Yeah. So, oh, that was a little weird. So, as you were folding laundry, you came upstairs to fold laundry today. Yes, I did.
While I was talking to a tiny tunes Tuesday guy to get this episode. Yeah, prepping this episode. I didn't make that connection. That's what you're doing.
Prepping the app. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was.
Yes. You will be after this. After this, you'll be like moving on to the part part part. I've been trying to make a, I made speaking of goals, like Jay making a kind of goal to use all this petals, which I adore that goal.
That's so fun because he has so many. And I bet the people there will really appreciate that, right? How fun. And I have kind of had a new goal as well, which is if I'm up for it because you know I have some sensory issues, folks, I have some sensory issues.
If y'all didn't know, I'll share that with you too. And I don't play a lot of music. I don't play my speed medal around the house. Right.
Thank you. I don't actually play any. I rarely play music that has a crashing symbol. Yeah.
Because it seems to really throw confusion over everything in the house. I have a hard time processing certain sounds. And me too. I'm, you know.
Yeah. I probably have some form of Meniere's disease. Probably. Yeah.
For sure. The rocker disease. But so one of my new kind of goals, right? But is if I'm just kind of like doing something, like doing the dishes or folding laundry, I thought I'm going to listen to music as much as I can if I'm in the mood for it.
So I've been trying to just always have a little speaker with me and just put a whole record on. So I'm just not a thing. I've just been really curious to listen to full records and kind of. You're going through the Tom Petty discography and making a real deep cut list for us if you could.
That would be fun. I think I'd love to once I listen to all of the Tom Petty discography, then make my top playlist of just my favorite. So then just pull. Oof.
That would be fun. Anyway. So yeah. I'm going to play a song called Imagination Blind.
Okay. It's a two-court song. I like this song. Yeah.
This song, like I kind of pulled it out of my ass to be honest. At the very end of the farm sessions, we were pretty much done. I was trying to finish my two songs for the record. It was actually kind of difficult.
What's your other song on this album? I can't remember what it's called. Your Weser. God.
It must be really good. My songs are kind of edgy on this record. It was a bit of an edgy experience. It's a great record.
We spent a lot of time working on it. Did you listen to it? I've never heard this one either. A lot of times I'm working on Jay songs in his tons of hooks.
It's got Jay Hook's galore. What are some songs I know besides Imagination Blind real quick? Pieces. How's that going?
I don't remember. I'm the only feeling feel the pieces of all of. Wrapped inside me, but I wouldn't want to judge your love. Oh, right.
Okay, I like that one. Anyways, we worked really hard for about five weeks or something. I was kind of like, and then it was my time to finish my two tunes, but we were like, Murphy's kind of burned out. Everyone was tired.
I kind of had to like wrap it up. I had to wrap it up. And I was like, and this was the last song we recorded. And I was like, it's just two chords.
And we did it in two takes, which is really unusual for Dona Sargino. Are you sure you're happy with this? I'm like, yes. Happy.
Let's do it. Let's get it done. Let's move on. This song is a little bit about the band dynamic at that time too.
Can I say cut? That was my tampé. You don't get to do that. Do the Loue-Barrle version.
I can feel it like I'm breath on skin. without a reason to fight I can fall and not the love I'm open but they don't I don't need it but I'm here at the door let me in I'm being a villain before I've come up fingers don't have fists to the wind it's sad to think I do it all but again I can't be helped but your love keys and keep them to yourself want to leave behind who wants me imagination blind change without resistance I have no friends without your love I don't know where to begin but I can wait your day forever I thought your rising grip won't be in death after all I'll leave behind what can be helped you love home keys and keep them to yourself want to leave behind imagination blind change yeah you didn't like my Tom Petty version I was going to do the whole thing like that I'm glad I stopped that the easiest way is to do the sour I did it the way you do it is like he kind of seemed to sing through a tiny mouth that was kind of his thing yeah even though there's just like keep your mouth kind of tight do you want to do it? that's not a good number that does not do justice to Tom at all absolutely not Tom's a giant Tom was a giant he is a giant he lives on he lives on in his awesome tunes yeah so after we did the farm record the next record that we did after that I came up with a whole new plan for introducing my songs to the band I got Dale Crowver to do the demos with me and then after that I did then after I just got better at making demos for the records and then it sort of culminated with me asking Jay and Murph together to do my demos with me and it worked out really well I was like all I needed to do was directly ask Jay and Murph can you both sit down together two drum sets and I'll play the song and then you kind of figure out and they did so you directly ask them I directly asked them that's I'm proud of you well you know proud of you when we did the farm record it was four years into the reunion it's still painful I have to say it's time to terminate this very special I mean they're all special let's be honest let's let's let's let's terminate this tiny tunes Tuesday and get a little bit of rest you got a show tomorrow yeah the TV garden the Boston Garden the new building with that with that legendary place used to be the parquet cards oh have a good time and we'll see you soon right rah impressions
