Welcome to Tiny Tunes Tuesday. Rejoice! Ha ha! Lou and John have finally finished a new folk implosion record.
The folk implosion have completed a new LP. Started in July of 2021, the album has taken two and a half years to complete. I wonder what Lou will play in this episode of Tiny Tunes Tuesday. Perhaps that's a hint.
I like that. Not so subtle hint. I don't know what he's talking about. Who is that?
Who's that person? No one's going to hear any of these songs until the record is released. Yeah, I'm not going to go ahead and start playing these songs. It's under wraps.
It's secret. Yeah, this is... Who knows what this song is for. Who knows what I'm going to do?
I like this thrilling tantalizing lead-up. It's exciting. So yes, we did complete a record. You know this.
Oh, I do. I've also lived through this. Two and a half years. Yeah.
Well, congratulations. I'm really, really happy for you and John. I think it's a great accomplishment. I'm excited to see it out in the world.
I feel like I have to do a disclaimer. We didn't work for two and a half years straight on this. This is like, you know, it's like it fits and starts. Yeah, well, you both have a lot of different obligations.
John is also a solo artist and a school teacher. Lou does a few things you might know about. And so, you know, they get in the way of this rockstar life, but folk implosion is going to be making the scene this year. It's exciting.
Yeah. But it has nothing to do with this song, of course. No. I don't know.
Commencing. There's a way more than 20 decoys. All right. Live from the Ron Prussian studio.
I'm going to play a full-completion song from the New Record. Woo! Umm! Like I'm pretty.
I just... This is the best line. But you're the only one to eat me. Oh, see?
Keeps me safe. You got to be the one you love. Be the one you love. Be the one you love.
The big world is full about to break me. With your worries, I hold mine. Now you give me all the strength I need. Be it and see.
That's the title track. track from the upcoming full conclusion record walk through me. On Joyful Noise Recordings. Yes, very exciting.
I did that pretty good. This part of my resolution this year is just a playwright through it and even if I fuck up just keep going. Don't stop. Was it okay that I moved that little R pick by your toe?
I was stepping on a carpet. It was making an obtrusive sound during my... It's gonna stay. It's gonna stay.
It's gonna stay. There was an obtrusive sound. It was part of the experience. It's part of his face.
This is it. Get raw. I vowed to become more raw this year. Even rawer.
Even rawer. Hashtag. Raw. How raw can he get guys?
I thought he'd... No. Surprised me then baby. I thought he couldn't get any rawer.
Then 2024. Oh my gosh. New year. New raw.
Alright. I'm fully clothed. That's true. That's great.
Yeah. Oh my gosh. How did it feel? I felt great.
I like that song. I really like that song. Yeah. I took one really cool thing about working so long on a record for me.
For me. Is that I was able to really refine the lyrics. Mm-hmm. And what the fuck?
I don't know. Who's calling? No. No.
No. We're not picking that up. Sorry. It's not an emergency.
95% certain. Spam. Spam. Absolutely.
Why is it still buzzing? I don't know. Who is that? Someone just placed an order for the store too.
At the same time. I think it's unrelated to the phone ringing. Well. What's the name of our store?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. Yeah. That was probably spam. My spam calls have actually kind of chilled.
So great. I was at a restaurant in the airport in Seattle. What was it called? Egg in the title.
Bad egg. I was flying Alaska Airlines. And they had fried spam strips. Oh.
Uh-huh. And on the table they had like a little, there was a little like spam tin. Salt and pepper in it. So.
Cute. Egg in the title. That was bad. I lived in Minneapolis in my early 20s.
There was this like kind of beautiful period of it was sort of the time of when everywhere was a coffee shop, you know, kind of like Seattle, Minneapolis. Our audience is primarily Gen X. They know what I'm talking about. The birth of coffee culture.
Yeah. Speaking of Seattle, right? Is that where Starbucks is from? I thought I wasn't supposed to talk about Starbucks.
We're not. We're just simply saying that that's where Starbucks is from. But. Look.
But before Starbucks or I guess me around the time. The point is there was a lot of coffee shops and fun breakfast places in Minneapolis. And one of them was called the egg and I. And then there's another.
Anyway, the spam was kind of a popular thing, like on the menu. It would be like a slab of fried spam. And I think even one of the coffee shops I worked out, we might have made spam. Like as a, again, another breakfast thing.
It was like eggs and spam usually. Eggs, spam and toast. Do you think that was part of like 90s irony? Not where I was in Minnesota.
Is that a thing? Maybe it is now for people, but if spam is still around, but no, not where I was from. That was for real. Yeah.
No irony, spam. People are like, oh, spam, of course. Yeah. I mean, I think in Minnesota anyway, there's probably quite a few people consuming spam unironically.
Spreadable, spreadable ham. It's actually not very spreadable at all. Oh. No, it's like, it's like deli meat.
It's like cutting yourself deli meat or something. Can we get some? Don't try some. I do.
Okay, we'll get some spam. What if we just left it on the countertop for half a day? Then it would get maybe more spreadable. That's true.
I mean, it's soft. It's soft. But I just, I don't know if I would call it spreadable. Hmm.
Yeah. You just cook it up. Put it on his plate and see what he says. Hey, son, do you want to have some meat from this weird tin?
Sort of pink with gelatinous blob floating around it to keep it shelf life stable for 50 years. He is accepting pepper and salt on his eggs, but I don't think he's ready. He's not that experimental yet. He's still very, you know, things aren't the right color and they're so children these days.
They're so picky, right? I know. Well, you know, I don't know. Let's get the spam.
Maybe if he sees you eat it, he'll have a bite. You think they don't? Oh, no. That's a nice thought that I might influence him in some way.
Although that seems like a dark path to go down, but you know, the spam path. Really? I don't know. I mean, it's probably made up of horrible things from like extremely sad swine.
I don't know. It's like a little bit on the cat food side. It's probably from like terrible CAFOs. Misery.
Misery meat, you know, just ground up in a big grinder and then shaped into a mold. Spreadable processed ass memory. No, ass misery. Ass.
Yes. Yes. Spreadable processed. Ass memory.
I'm having a past memory. I'm sure you all had some ass memories. Take that to be. That's like one of my favorite descriptions.
Like, oh, that's ass. Yeah, that's true. That's so good. That's good.
People say that you really just know. You're like, yeah, you're right. That's ass. Yeah.
Wow. Gosh, this poor lovely conversation that was just about the joy of this new folk and playing now. I was just really gone downhill into a can of spam and ass. I was singing you a perfectly loved song.
It's a love song. A double ask me if I'm working on a record. She will say to me, are there any songs for me on it? She can't help herself.
Just got to ask. And this time I was like, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe.
Maybe half the songs that I wrote for the fall conclusion record are about you or maybe they're not. I don't know. Oh, my goodness. You know.
What's going on? Intrigue. What's going on? What's going on in this?
No, again. Oh, my goodness. I'd be so honored. I don't know why I'm going to ask you this.
I don't know. I'm sort of sensationalistic, but I'm going to ask. I bought some edibles a while ago and I can't find them. Okay.
Have you seen them? No. What do they look like? Well, they come in like a little container.
It looks like a gum container. A gum container? We have some empties around here. Is it?
What does it say? It's an edible. Does it have a picture of mango on it? Or mango?
No. It means it's not ringing a bell. But it certainly can help you look for it. No.
So then clearly you're not on edibles because you can't find them. I'm not on edibles. I was really hoping you would ask me if I was on edibles and then I could say no because I lost them. Oh.
Were you thinking I was hiding them or something? No, absolutely not. You wouldn't do that. It hasn't come to that yet.
No, you haven't abused the edibles to the point where I'm like, ugh. I think last January, last dry January, you did hide the wine for a week or two. Mm-hmm. Well, it was dry January.
Yeah. But then you didn't have to hide it, right? Yeah. That's a lot of work guys.
I don't know. Either drink it or you don't. Look up your mind. If you don't want to drink it, don't drink it.
Don't fucking drink it. I don't know. It's so easy guys. Just don't do it.
Come along. What's wrong with you? That's sarcasm. That's sarcasm.
Don't lose your goddamn mind. When I was a child, remember to the doctor or the cough? Yeah. He said stop coughing.
Yeah. And on that chord. I need to do the conclude. Let's go find those other ones.
Thank you for listening. You want to try one? Sure.
