Welcome to Tiny Tunes Tuesday. That's the welcome. That was it. That was a welcome.
I was sitting here like reclining, waiting for a nice long introduction. No. That was short. Short and sweet.
Okay. Good to know. Tiny Tunes Tuesday. I'm really taking in this new light fixture.
There's a new lamp in Lue Studio and I'm getting used to it because I can see how this would be very helpful for you. Did you not like it at some point? What do you mean? Did you walk in and go like, egh.
Oh no. No, I'm just sitting here now while we're recording, getting used to how bright it is. That's all. It's just very bright.
You need light. This is my workspace. It is. Yeah.
I need light in my workspace too. I totally understand. I have a little thing that goes around my neck even and I have that lights up for me to do close up work. Oh, that's cool.
That looks great. Yeah. I love light when people adorn their head with lights. Oh, so cool.
Yeah. That reminds me of one of our guests at the where you've been show was wearing a light on their head. Oh, oh. His name was Tad.
Oh. Tad from the whole study. Yeah. I was sitting on one when he was setting up his stuff.
I was like, yeah. I don't think I've ever seen anybody do. I'm a musician do that. Oh my gosh.
That makes me think should we get Jake one of those knit caps that has a light in it. Like I got your dad. He still wears it. And Jake likes knit caps.
Yeah. And he's not listening. So yes. Yeah.
He could be listening. I don't know. You never know. Maybe he's our biggest fan.
Can't get enough flu. Yeah. Jake works for Dime's search. I was like, who's Jake?
Jake does all kinds of stuff for Dime's search and he played keyboards on the where you've been. I really liked his edition a lot. Yeah. But he was fun singing that song live.
Not the same. The one that I covered on many music Monday or time tends to use it. It's getting mixed up. We're not being very consistent.
It's either one or another. You've covered it. I've covered it. The song too.
The original. So he played keyboards on that. And then he sets up all of our stuff and he. Song.
Commencing. Oh. Five snaps. For the ghost.
Sheila, baby, love me right. Let me love you till I get it right. Catch you let the others be. Cause with you is where I got a blue.
No sugar where you've been hanging out with your male friends. Listen. Listen. But it's gonna hurt you.
The way you keep on with me. I'm sick. Oh. Let me love you till the moon.
Cause though I wanna be the moon. That I wanna be the moon. That I wanna be the moon now. But since it's no it's getting too hot.
I think I'll have to stop my own phone. Baby, let's play and we'll see. That you're qualified to fill your mood. Think you're pulled on over on me.
But honey baby just you wait to see. I'm sick. Oh Sheila. Oh Sheila.
Let me love you till the moon. It's trying to sign. Oh. Oh Sheila.
Oh Sheila. Oh Sheila. Oh Sheila. Baby, it's one two three.
I'll lock it down. I just finished it a matter of maybe, I know, about an hour ago. Yeah, you had all morning to perfect it right? I decided the final mix just before we started this.
And an idea of like I gotta cut down to just the vocals at some point. Make it really good. That's good. It's really good.
Breakdown. I like that. I love that song so much. It's so good.
I know. Yeah, it's really good. So there's a theme of like a fake accent. And it's he has it in the song.
It actually goes throughout the song. There's a voice that comes in. I tried to replicate that. But this, I think I actually tried, I did it.
My accent's terrible. As evidenced by my performance in. Oh, Canyon. What was your name?
Fag Twig. Oh, Frip. Was I Frip? I don't know.
Frip is Fred Frip. What's the problem with the idea? I'm going to watch it again. Fred Frip.
Let me grab your Frip. I think I could actually watch that one again. I'll throw it at throw to bottle of Marlborough. Oh.
And just, you know. Get settled in on the bed and. And edible. Sit down and just really dig into Laurel Canyon for the second.
Second time. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Anyway, so my accident is kind of like a bad Australian accent, which kind of makes sense because Osheela, like Sheila.
Yeah, that's like a thing. That's crocodile done D shit right there. Yeah. Oh fuck yeah.
Paul Hogan. Yes. Yeah. Australian is Ben Lee.
I guess. Ben. I couldn't be wrong. Turn out that Ben Lee was born in Syracuse, New York.
I don't know. It happens. But he was raised in Australia. Kevin Shields was born in New York state.
Yes. And he was raised in Ireland. The ground breaking musician. Kevin Shields.
I know. So have you recovered? You're recovering. You just really got home from New York, from all the hubbub and the to-dos and all the excitement and all the guests.
And you kind of went out on quite a high there, right? For the last night you had some really cool guests. Yeah. Kept from TV on the radio.
Well, I'm not totally familiar with although music has been there. You and I have been listening to it recently. Yeah. And I'm like, wow.
They were really good. I kind of have to say I think I miss out on them in the 2000's. There were so many great bands in the 2000's. And TV on the radio was another one, but yeah, Kept came and we, I woke up with his version, we did the song called Draw rings.
And he was the only guest who learned a song from where you've been. So he learned his own version of drawings. And it was so cool. Wow.
He did that. open-tuned style and it's just really strummy open-tuned which I totally relate to. Yeah, sounds familiar. And it stuck right in between Jay's kind of rock because it's sort of a country rock song, it's sort of an intempo country rock song.
But when Kip added this kind of like indie, I hate to say indie, but it's a jangly, it is a jangly open-tuned sound which we often associate with independent music from the 80s and 90s and till now. But he, so he played that and it started the way that it landed between Jay and I and we just played it for like, it felt like an hour. It was just the most meditative thing and he was just, he was very methodical and he sang it, he sang it like, he sang it. So he was singing the song.
I like his voice. His voice is totally cool and I hadn't, you know, it was a new to me song drawings. So like Jay's vocal was new to me really, I mean as of like last month. So anyway, he sang this and I woke up with Kip's version of the song in my head today.
I really like the way he sang it. And the soundcheck was, I could really hear everything in the soundcheck. So it felt like the most indulgent, relaxing soundcheck. And I was like, I like this guy.
And then I was watching him, he had, he had colored guitar cables and they were the colors of the Miami dolphins, which I don't know if you know, it's like a light blue, I think an orange. Okay. So I was like, he was winding his cables and I just said, like, I'm like, wow, I could really watch it. I'm really, I can watch you wind these cables all day.
Because he had these bright red pants on and he's winding these colored cables really slowly making sure that he moved in a beautiful, methodical way. He did. He was like, he was really just totally just deliberate. And I found, I was like, I want to do that.
I want to move deliberately. So he, so after he sang, we were waiting for our next guest and he went up to the dressing rooms and I went up and I was just like, dude, that was so good. That was so good. Then after that, oh my God, the guitarist from the roots Kirk, Captain Kirk, Captain Kirk Lloyd Douglas.
I don't know. He's got this. Yeah. So he kind of comes in.
What's he the guitar player? He's the guitar player for the roots. And he's really good. Yeah.
And he seems really interested in J's guitar style. Yeah. So he was like really looking at the guitarist to guitarist. And he's, he stood in front of J's amps.
So he sort of bare the whole, he put his fingers in his ears because he's smart. Yes. Has anyone who stands in front of J's amplifier should have some sort of, some form of hearing protection. I really get, I think if you're in the back of the club, maybe you don't, but right up front, definitely.
Yeah, be smart. I urge you, I urge anyone coming to see Dinesour Jr. and if you want to be where the action is, which is right in front of J mask is that please, in front of me is too. Glad everyone.
Don't, in front of this stage. Most concerts these days, I'd say, bring your earplugs to be perfectly honest. Yeah. So anyway, Captain Kirk, he wanted us to do a version of Neil Young's Down by the river by way of a version by Buddy Miles, which I was familiar with.
So I've heard it a few times recently because of Spotify. Spotify really wanted me to hear it. But it's a more like R&B version of Down by the river. And that's Captain Kirk's specialty, apparently he's been doing it.
That's what he really likes to do. And so we really learned it with him. Like it came together. I was a little nervous because he's really good.
Yeah. And it was really like, and I, you know, I have to learn everything slowly and talk about Methodical. This guy, super methodical when it comes to trying to learn things and it takes me a long time. And I don't do it as gracefully.
Can I ask you a question? Yes. Do you guys are sound checking with guests like that, like with Kip or with Captain Kirk? And they're there and they're like, hey, this is what I want to do.
Is it more like a show and tell kind of thing? Like do they kind of show you by starting to play or do they talk you through what they want as well? Or is it both? You can start playing.
You can start playing and then you just kind of join in playing too. Yeah. And then does he, do they look at you and kind of like either not or go like no dude or like, like how does the communication go? It was pretty quick almost without it uniformly.
You know, quick. Kim Deal and Kip both took their time with us and made sure it was right. But Kim Deal had us. We really went through, we were playing her songs as well.
We played. Would you play again? You did. Denying Hammer and Gigantic.
Nice. Okay. And so we worked with her for a long time on what we were doing with her. So did she kind of talk to you through?
Yes. Yeah. Okay. She did.
We were sort of debating whether I would play bass on Gigantic or whether she would. And so there was a little bit of that, a little bit of back and forth as far as that went. She was like, you know, when I was messing around with Katara and Gigantic, she was like, no, you don't play there. You know, like, oh yeah.
Okay. I know. I know. But she was cool.
Yeah. And they would sort of talk to Jay. I think one really cool thing about these kind of shows is that I really like to see Jay speaking and like communicating to the guests and really like telling, you know, making them feel at home, you know. He's such a music fan that it's got to be so fun.
I feel like I just saw him really lit up. Yeah. It was cool to see him with, yeah, just these people coming through through us and watching him really enjoy it. They seem to enjoy it as well.
Yeah. I mean, it's that concludes this week's Tiny Tunes Tuesday. Maybe next week it'll be Monday. Many music Mondays.
We don't know. Thank you for listening to this Raw Impressions short form podcast. It sounds like what I imagine like George Harrison to sound like or something. I know.
Like, there was a brief moment where I lit up on a Liverpool slash Manchester accent. Horrible. Horrible event. I know.
Horrible. Horrible event. I know. I know.
I know. I know. I know. I know.
I know. I know. I know. I know.
I know. I know. I know.
