Stevie Nicks is going to get inducted - i’m not here to argue against her — however
Fake Band of Week: Secret Beef
Annie O Update: What are her latest actives, aside from great interpretive dance.
Are you watching New season of Below Deck - and do you see a little bit of Joao in Asthon?
If you’re already in with a group - and then you as a solo artist do enough to get in - i think it’s a separate ceremony… like a stand alone “holly wood walk of fame induction”. Or maybe a quadrennial induction of all 2nd timer hall of famers and/or 3rd timers — make it a higher level event, a more rare event… cuz it is a more rare event.
Def Leppard. Janet Jackson. LL Cool J (did enough as a hip-hop pioneer)… it’s like the Barry Bonds was a hall of fame before PED use argument. Rage Against the Machine. The Cure.
Stevie Nicks - Pizza Bagel Maestro
How do you feel about Radiohead saying that they “don’t want to be inducted”?
DEVO, John Prine, Kraftwerk, MC5, Roxy Music, Todd Rundgren, Rufus and Chaka Khan, The Zombies
What’s w people saying you’re fine when you say “excuse me”. I think Fine is an weird word.
Izmir Turkey most listens this week - love it. Izmir seems fantastic btw (like as a place in the world)
Ashburn, VA creeping back into listening charts
Turkey as a nation wins the week, Brighton, Australia is the 3rd place city- it’s on the outskirts of Melbourne / UK is the 3rd place country and Redcar England up by Newcastle has emerged with some serious listeners as well
Props to Norway, Chile, India, Romania, Kazakhstan and Sweden for listening
Litter pick up on exit 28 at 8:45am on a Friday. you can’t wait til 9:30 for that crap ?!?
Best thing about papa johns ditching the nfl is the dramatic lessening of Peyton Manning appearing with papa johns founder John Schnatter
Also, Pizza Hut slicing into the official pizza of the nfl within about 15 minutes of papa johns vacating it - shows you how strong the nfl brand is
Stock market has taken a dive recently and tariffs on aluminum and steel are a major factor thus far.
This is where being a populist America first leader veers wildly from many republicans- you mess with their money- that’s a problem. Greed is a much stronger factor than xenophobia- rich Americans want to stay rich
Basketball sneakers that look like timberland work boots - dude on Purdue wore em today. I’m at once in favor of the look and also think it looks kind of whack simultaneously
Lots of basketball - it’s championship week
congrats to Lipscomb on their first ever Big Dance
you know when the ball gets wedged in between the basket and the backboard, and the game awkwardly stops. Instead of going to the possession arrow — it should either be worth 1 points. cuz it’s actually harder to do than put it in the basket. And you can’t “dunk” the ball into the wedged position, it’s got to be a shot and an unblocked / tipped/ defected shot at that. You might be saying, Gavin... Actually, it should be worth negative 1 point — if you put up a shot and miss, so be it, but if you hoist a shot and the game has to stop because of your miss — you lose a point. Either way, it would make basketball have an added wrinkle.
I’ll put up a poll and we’ll see what people think
Places listening Tokyo Japan #1 city listening last week and Japan was #2 as a nation to the United States
Kansas City , Tatabanya Hungary and Lima Peru get props as well
Ain’t talkin’ bout love is Van Halen’s best overall song - it’s their most Van Halen-Esque song.
It hits everything those guys are great at and none of the stuff they’re not.
Vince Carter- left school early. Played at UNC 3 season, made the Final Four twice. Finished degree & Walked at graduation during the playoffs a few years later
Here’s my beef. People gripe that these guys don’t go to school, but they also gripe that he chose to walk for graduation during playoffs.
And you can question his focus in that moment… But he’s played in the league for like 20 years. He’s reinvented his game twice.
You can’t question his love and drive to play hoops and make money.
Vince Carter has had the last laugh - he’s 40 years old, playing in the NBA
8x All-star 2x all nba rookie of the year and greatest slam dunk champ ever - certainly top 3. Was picked #5 in the 98 draft
Played for 7 NBA teams // won Gold Medal at 2000 olympics
#11 all-time in career earning with over $167 million in salary
Only 7 guys have played 20+ seasons in nba. Only Kobe and Vince were wings - and Kobe came out of high school - Vince went to UNC for a couple years
Robert parish 21 seasons most all time
Kareem, Dirk, Kevin Garnett, Kevin Willis
Tom Brady’s injured hand — how much stock do you put into it?
Who you picking for Eagles - Vikings game?
If Crystal Palace wins London Derby over Arsenal this weekend, i’m elevating CP over the Gunners in my heart and the only way Arsenal gets it back is to win the Europa League
top Nations listening - United Kingdom, France, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Hungary, Canada, Spain, South Africa and Australia
Wearing a Hawaiian shirt — for good Karma - it’s been cold in the east, we’re supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow in charlotte - which will shut Charlotte down… they’ve literally already cancelled school.
So i’m in New York walking around and it’s raining — more like misting, and a lady is walking her dog. The dog has like 4 little boots on it’s feet. like aqua socks but for a dog.
If you have time to put “water shoes” on your dog to go out in the rain for a walk- you’ve got too much time on your hands (not snow & ice, rain! Not extremely hot blacktop, rain)? Dogs descended from wolves. Wolves don’t wear shoes ever - dogs will be ok in the rain.
And if you’re worried about our dogs feet messing up your house- maybe you’re not a dog person
You know how airports have the bag sizing apparatus- so they can nix certain bags from carry on? They should have one for passengers - and ban certain people from sitting in the middle seats in coach
Cosby Show remake — like the Roseanne remake — No Cliff Huxtable, but Claire and all the kids are in the show. And don’t call it the Cosby show, and don’t have Bill Cosby in the show. Call it the Huxtables. People would watch that.
Coming up next Andy Maslin joins us for the rant of the month - but you can’t get that on our facebook live feed, you’ve got to go to filibuster freestyle.com or subscribe to our podcast on iTunes and the latest episode will be automatically delivered to podcasts app. It’s easy and while you’re there, please leave us a review, it helps people find the filibuster freestyle
Scott Weiland was great - he fronted two groups — had solo success
The DeLeo Bros - are also great song writers
Stone Temple Pilots were a super group — based on the success they’ve had collectively and then apart from eachother
Explain who Dave Coutts is — from the Band, “Talk Show”
Why go after a guy who sounds like Weiland? I’d go in a different direction… despite liking the new song “Meadow” by Stone Temple Pilots
Explain who "Army of Anyone” is - “Filter” lead singer and drummer from “Korn”.
Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop — still a great album. Opening track “Press Play” excellent.
“Lady Picture Show” is a good example as any of these guys just writing timeless rock songs with pop principles
“Big Bang Baby” catchy as eff
What’s amazing about these guys - the burst onto the scene with “Core” and had a great follow up with “Purple” yet still 3 bonafide radio singles on Tiny Music.
“Art School Girl” might be the most interesting deep cut on Tiny Music
I really like “Non Stop” by Army of Anyone — sounds really STP -esque — I liked “Leave it”, too — Singer actually sounds like himself, Filter singer Richard Patrick, as opposed to Weiland
Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington — interestingly he also has a few songs that sound like Weiland — and a couple where he sounds like himself from Linkin Park.
If you’ve got your own recognizable voice — why pretend to be Scott Weiland ??
“Meadow” — Really like it a lot
Jeff Gutt - been on “X Factor” twice - very corporate — he’s got a nice delivery though
The quintessential Rock & Roll Christmas song mixtape playlist aka how to “Bro-out Christmas”
Do a Paul Stanley voice - I don’t want no, Mariah Carey, I’m not trying to listen to any Bing Crosby — I’m looking for some Cold Gin!
Carl’s initial playlist:
“Father Christmas” by the Kinks- Love this one - original concept. Total rocker! Song about a dept store santa getting mugged and robbed. They just want cash money! Straight Cash HOMIE!!!! Great use of xylophone, too
“Little Saint Nick” by the Beach Boys - It’s a jam - cuz the beach boys harmonies are the best Damn harmonies of the 20th century
Cover “You’re a mean one mr grinch” by the Whirling Dervishes — Yeah i’ll give you this one… good rock version of an all-time favorite of mine
“The season’s upon us” by DropKick Murphy’s - The drop kicks basically just stole the Pogues sound, added a bag pipe guy, and a pinch of Mighty Might Bosstones Bravado — this song reminds me of “I’m an a-hole” by Dennis Leary — This song does not get on my mixtape — I mean it’s a fun video and all - Convince me Carl!!!!
“Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo” Trans Siberian Orchestra — This band is basically if Metallica had only done Christmas songs for a career. Def a cool and and song to see live Def cool for those christmas lights / synched to music shows on people’s houses and in Miller Light commercials
“Christmas is the time to say I love you” Billy Squire- Video of the 1981 MTV staff/ VJ’s in Billy’s chorus is what it’s all about — also this is the first time I’ve ever seen what Billy Squier looked like back in the day — Good feel good one - a sing a long to hopefully start a sing a long at your house
“Christmas in Hollis” Run DMC - I mean this is my all-time fave!
“Merry Christmas (I don’t want to fight tonight)” The Ramones - Such a LONG ISLAND Video (with accents and everything) - It’s a video that crosses Beastie Boys “Fight for your right” with Christmas party domestic squabbles
“2000 Miles” the Pretenders - This is such a great song - are the pretenders the most under rated band ever? Crissy Hynde is a gifted singer, total Hall of Famer. This song sounds more like a pretenders song than a christmas song, which is a GREAT THING — that’s what makes a real badass Christmas song - do something cool and original and it will be “Forever” - Love this pick, Carl!
“thank god it’s Christmas” Queen - Can honestly say until last night, I had never heard this song in my life — it’s good, cuz It’s Queen and Freddie Mercury - how did i miss this song for the better part of 4 decades
“Fairy Tale of New York” the Pogues- might be a top 3 song about the city of new york (All time, including Jay-Z & Alicia Keys and Frank Sinatra) - Matt Dillon plans a cop in the video - And any time you can feature a tin whistle and questionable epithets in the same christmas song, you’ve got a winner. Video pretty much makes me want to cry in a good way — so it’s the jam of jams in my mind
Christmas all over again - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - end of Home Alone Too: Lost in New York - I like this jam cuz it’s more of a Petty song than a Christmas song
“Run Run Rudolph” - Chuck Berry - great jam. Also from Home Along - but this chuck berry song isof the one John Travolta and Uma Thurman dance to in Pulp Fiction. Nothing say Christmas like that
AC/DC “Mistress for Christmas” - Sounds exactly how you think an AC/DC Christmas song would sound. Jingle bells, power chords and sexual innuendos galore. It’s on the Razor’s Edge Album too. Released in 1990 this record also featured Thunderstruck and Money talks
Happy Christmas (War is over) by John Lennon & Yoko Ono
The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping (who I always think is Blondie) - Straight out of the 70’s - got a punk/ Disco/ hip-hop groove. Questions from the video, who is the lead singer of the waitresses? She’s handsome lady — and the rest of the bandare apparently “male waitress” which is cool. Hold the phone, the bass player is also a lady - NICE!!!! Great 80s graphics
U2 - Christmas (Baby Please come home) - Still Gives me goose bumps They made this back in the Joshua Tree days - complete with Black & White video and all. Is U2 the only band with a money Christmas song that also has a money New year’s song? “New Year’s Day”
Wham - Last Christmas - totally thought that was just George Michael solo
Great Big Sled - by the KIllers - Great jam — another one that sounds like a Killers song with Christmas lyrics - these are the type of tunes i’m most down with - and they also have a parody Christmas song - “Don’t shoot me santa” which i actually really like upon 1 listen last night
